The Third Hokage Passes Down the Mantle, But I'm Homelander

Everyone in the Five Great Nations thought their newly appointed Fourth Hokage was a truly kind-hearted man.

But when they finally met him, they realized something was wrong!

On the battlefield, he had no bottom line whatsoever. He called it a righteous showdown, then snuck around to attack from behind, using a laser to pierce the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Armor.

To get Hashirama's cells, he resorted to every trick in the book. He promised to make Orochimaru the next Hokage, only to turn around and stab him in the back as soon as he got what he wanted.

In the final battle against Kaguya, he acted like a cad and toyed with her feelings, then married the strongest woman of the Otsutsuki clan, sacrificing himself to protect world peace.

The people he rescued said, "We may have won through somewhat underhanded means, but he's still our hero!"

"No, no." The Homelander on Konoha's global channel flashed his signature smile. "You are the real heroes."
