Chapter 215: Take a back seat
Early morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sun is shining.
On a sheep intestine trail in the countryside, the Uchiha Matsuri and Sarutobi Asma are on their way.
"Teacher, why did my father send you to be the temporary captain of the 'Guardian Ninja Twelve'?" asked Asma.
Half a month has passed since the Battle of the Kamino Bridge. In the past half a month, the Bo Feng Shuimen team was allowed to take a month's vacation by the three generations of Hokage because of their excellent performance, and Maitkai and Sunset Red were also allowed to take a month's vacation as the heroes of Konoha.
Only the Uchiha Matsuri and Sarutobi Asma have to go on missions to the capital of the Fire Nation when others are on vacation.
Regarding the arrangement of the three generations of Hokage, Ape Fei Asma, who was still in the rebellious period, was naturally very dissatisfied.
"Maybe it's because of my ability, or maybe it's because of my 'notoriety'. Who knows!" The Uchiha Matsuri said noncommittally and playfully.
Since the end of the Battle of Kannabihashi, the Uchiha Festival slaughtered 5,000 Iwa Shinobi by one person, like a gust of wind, blowing through every inch of the ninja world.
Contrary to Konoha Village's tepid attitude towards the Uchiha Festival, the other four ninja villages were all wary of the Uchiha Festival.
In Iwakure Village, due to the slaughter of thousands of Iwa Shinobi by the Uchiha Festival, the title of "God of Killing" of the Uchiha Festival has been called out in the mouths of the villagers.
In Yunyin Village, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow Ai listened to the suggestion and issued an order: Anyone who encounters the Uchiha Festival in the course of performing a mission, Yun Shinobi can give up the mission and avoid punishment.
In the black market trading market, the price of the Uchiha Festival has even surpassed that of the three generations of Hokage, ranking first on the Konoha bounty list with a price of 150,000 taels.
It's just that because the performance of the Uchiha Festival is too rebellious, even if the bounty price of the Uchiha Festival rises with the victory of the Battle of Kannabihashi, the bounty hunters everywhere still don't dare to do anything against the Uchiha Festival, which is a walking fifteen million taels.
Even the ninjas of the Fog Hidden Village have all canceled their plans to seize the Uchiha Sacrifice Thunder Tooth.
Against this backdrop, the three generations of Hokage sent Uchiha Matsuri to serve as the temporary captain of the "Guardian Ninja Twelve", apparently to warn and deter the Kirist Shinobi who came to carry out the mission of "assassinating the Daimyo of the Fire Country".
"Teacher, there's something I don't know if I should tell you or not......" Speaking of this, Asma, who has always been straightforward, suddenly hesitated.
"What's the matter, you don't even know whether to say it or not?" Uchiha Matsuri patted Asma on the shoulder and motioned for him to continue, "You better stop selling Guanzi, just tell me if you have anything!"
"Then I'll say it, don't regret it......" Asma said cautiously as if he had made a mistake, "Before leaving, I went to the Hokage's office to look for my father, and I happened to hear my father talking to several elders......"
“…… During the conversation, my father, Menyan and Koharu all agreed to recommend Mizuto Senpai as the fourth Hokage, and as for Elder Danzo, he has always been noncommittal, neither in favor nor against my father's proposal......"
According to Asma's account, in fact, as early as ten years ago, the three generations of Hokage had a plan to take a back seat and promote new people.
coincided with the victory of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, and the other four major ninja villages all temporarily suspended their wars with Konoha. At the same time, Konoha Hidden Village has gone through many battles and is now in a critical period of reconstruction.
In order to achieve the sustainable development of Konoha Village, the three generations of Hokage thought twice and finally decided to give way to the younger generations.
The abdication was decided, but the question of the successor was put on the agenda again.
Three Shinobi, Hachiki Shuo Shige, Wave Wind Water Gate, Uchiha Festival.
These six people are recognized as the most promising candidates for heirs.
However, in the context of Jirai's unintention to be the Hokage and Orochimaru's ill intentions, the three generations of Hokage, Mito Menyan and the two elders of Koharu reached an agreement and unanimously elected Bo Feng Shuimen as the fourth Hokage.
……
In the large conference room of the Hokage Building.
More than a dozen Konoha high-ranking officials and patriarchs of the big family sat on the rostrum.
Offstage, hundreds of shinobi, including Bo Feng Shuimen, Kakashi, and Maitkai, sat in their positions in unison.
"Ahem, ahem. ”
A cough sounded, and the three generations of Hokage opened the door of the conference room, and the three of Gay Village Danzo, Mito Menyan, and Zhuan Koharu walked into the large conference room with a full seat.
"Hokage-sama. ”
After seeing the three generations of Hokage, all the ninjas on and off the stage stood up and saluted the three generations of Hokage.
"Sit down, everybody. The three generations of Hokage walked to their positions, waved their hands, and said to the more than 100 shinobi in the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, patriarchs, I have summoned everyone to come today, if not for anything else, but to discuss with you the issue of candidates for the fourth Hokage......" Mito Menyan stood up and said with a serious face.
"The fourth Hokage?" Hearing Mito Menyan's words, the upper shinobi at the bottom instantly exploded.
"Hokage-sama, with all due respect, you are still alive now, why did you start electing the fourth Hokage?" As the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hinata stood up and asked the three generations of Hokage without changing his face.
"I agree with the Nikzu patriarch's idea. Hokage-sama, you're still young, and it's not yet time to elect the next Hokage!" Bo Feng Shuimon stood up, expressing his thoughts in righteous words.
Yes, the three generations of Hokage are still alive, is it a bit unruly to elect four generations of Hokage at this time?
After hearing the words of Hinata Ninja and Bo Feng Shuimen, everyone in the audience expressed their incomprehension of the election of the fourth Hokage at this point in time.
"Ahem, everyone, I made the proposal to elect the fourth generation, and here, I need to explain to everyone......" The third Hokage cleared his throat and spoke seriously.
According to the explanation of the three generations of Hokage, the three generations of Hokage have entered old age at this time, and their bodies and minds are not as good as before.
In order to ensure that everything in the village can be maintained continuously and stably, the third Hokage wants to hold a democratic election and elect the fourth Hokage to complete the task of protecting the village in his place.
And the third generation Hokage himself, as the Hokage's advisor, will assist the fourth generation Hokage in handling some government affairs in some villages in the first few years.
"Since the third generation has expressed Rang Xian's thoughts, then we should support his move. As a high-level member of Konoha Village, Koharu expressed his opinion.
Yes, Hokage-sama is already old, we should be more considerate of Hokage-sama!
After hearing the words of the three generations of Hokage and Koharu, everyone in the audience changed their attitudes.
