I’m the Root Heir, But I Really Don’t Want to Be Hokage

Year 46 of Konoha. The Third Great Ninja War is in its late stages and about to end. The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, feels he is no longer up to the task and begins considering candidates for the Fourth Hokage. And the candidates... Konoha is brimming with talent at this time. One of the Legendary Sannin, Orochimaru! The Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato! Konoha’s White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, who is still alive... Every one of them is a top contender. And Shimura Gen, who just happened to pass by the selection meeting while drinking AD Calcium Milk... “Me?” “I’m just a kid!”
