Chapter 289: Senate

Previous Chapter

It was a week back to Konoha in the blink of an eye, except for some exchanges when he reported on the first day when he saw the ape flying sun, and there was no high-level communication with him in the next five or six days.

With Yuehuaai's military exploits, normally the reaction of Konoha high-level should not be so bland, although I don't know what the three generations are doing, but Yuehuaai didn't pay special attention.

In the three years since he came to Konoha, from the initial strength of the middle ninja to now being able to stand alone, Konoha has indeed provided him with too many resources. Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Bo Feng Shuimen, and more or less from the secret help of the ape flying sun, creating the love of Yuehua at this time.

The confusion and sense of crisis since rebirth have also quietly disappeared in the continuous growth of strength, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar house outside the window, the scale in my heart is gradually balanced.

Although Konoha was destined to be the victor in the three wars, only Bo Feng Shuimen and Sannin supported the field, and at the end of the war, Konoha still suffered heavy losses, and with the sudden intervention of Yuehua Ai, at least a quarter of the eroded battlefield was saved for Konoha .

In terms of merit and influence, Scarlet Prajna was also the absolute pillar of Konoha in the three wars, and compared to the famous Water Gate, the former was not inferior in any way.

Relying on Konoha's resources to grow, and reducing Konoha's losses through war, in Yuehua's love, what he owes Konoha has paid off after the contribution of this war, and the rest is just a personal bond.

Understanding the future development of the ninja world is the driving force for Yuehua Ai to become stronger. Although his strength at this time is no longer unmatched, but thinking of Obito who may have met Madara Uchiha, Yuehua Ai can still clearly understand his position.

Compared with the above, he is more than inferior to the bottom, and he may not be far from the shadow level, but he is still far from the super-shadow level and six-level perverts in the future.

There aren't many existences in Konoha that can make him continue to get stronger, and there is no point in continuing to stay here. Powerful forces do provide good shelter and a comfortable environment, but these are not what Yuehua Ai wants.

This kind of peace on the surface of Konoha is not what he wants, and when he really needs a comfortable place for him to rest or enjoy life, he will explore and create by himself.

Just when Yuehua Ai recalled the memories in his mind to plan for the future, he didn't know that the top management of Konoha at this time had already held several meetings one after another because of him.

"With the basis of the exchange in the previous meetings, I think everyone has already figured it out this time!"

It was rare that he didn't smoke at the meeting, and his chin was supported by his hands in fists, and the ape flew around with his gaze below.

"Although their merits are indeed outstanding, but those two are still too young after all, you must know that the senate is also an important decision-making level, and they do not have enough knowledge and experience to be qualified for such a position, and young people have no opinions, if they are really faced with some major decisions, once someone has ulterior motives to influence them through some means, the consequences will be too serious! For the sake of safety, I still oppose it!"

Seeing the ape flying at him, Koharu frowned and hesitated before speaking.

From the time the ape Fei Ri slashed half a month ago to propose to give the two senator seats to Bo Feng Shuimen and Yuehua Ai, Xiaochun vaguely understood the other party's thoughts.

But it is clear that as a member of the Konoha advisory group and a member of the Konoha leadership, all the decisions she makes must be based on the interests of Konoha.

Although Watergate and Yuehuaai do have the qualifications to serve as senators in terms of merit, but the age and qualifications of the other party are all problems, and from a prudent point of view, she thinks it is better to pressure them for a while.

The opposition to Zhuan Xiaochun was a little helpless, and Ape Fei Ri's eyes were still deep and he couldn't see the change, but his brows were a little tighter.

"Koharu is still opposed, what about you?"

Turning his gaze to Mito Menyan and Danzo, who had been silent, Sarutobi hoped to get support from at least one of them.

As long as the advisory group has its own supporters, those two votes are against two, but as the Hokage, he still has the right to directly promote his own ideas.

Senators are people who have the right to vote on certain major decisions in Konoha, like some of the patriarchs of Konoha families, most of whom also hold the position of Senator of Konoha.

Above the Senate is the Standing Council, which is a high-level person with significant decision-making power, and the Standing Committee generally also has the duties of an advisor. Like Koharu, Mito Menyan, and Danzo, they are the standing members of the advisory group.

The Standing Committee is already the high-end of the decision-making level, and further up is the Hokage, and the Hokage has one veto power and one right to implement some decisions, but if the Standing Council is all against it, then even the Hokage's orders cannot be implemented.

Even though he has great merits, it still makes Ape Fei feel a lot of resistance to getting Shuimen and Yuehuaai to enter the decision-making level, but at this stage, he doesn't want to continue to drag it out.

Since the outbreak of World War III, in the face of all kinds of feedback from various battlefields, in order to make the right decisions in time, whether mentally or physically, Ape Fei has gradually felt a little powerless.

He had been sitting in the Hokage's seat for decades, and although he didn't want to admit it, Sarutobi knew that he was indeed old.

The younger generation has the qualifications to stand alone, whether it is Zilai or Watergate, in this era, their blooming brilliance has gradually overshadowed the older generation.

The war has been carried out to this extent, because with the sudden rise of the Dawn and Sun Twin Stars, Konoha has indeed accumulated a lot of advantages, and it is almost non-existent to lose, but it is impossible to win beautifully.

Once the losses of the war reach the psychological limit of all countries, it seems inevitable that the peace agreement will be signed again, after all, there is no point in fighting without a real winner, the first ninja world war is like this, the second is also, and the third time now, it is also like the reincarnation of history.

As the future victor, Konoha does not need to pay too much price when signing the agreement, but it is easy to deal with externally, but it is not so easy internally, after all, countless people in the village have lost their children, countless people have lost their husbands, countless children have lost their fathers and mothers, and as the one who sent the deceased to the battlefield, it is the villagers of Konoha who are really difficult to face.

When peace comes again, Sarutobi has decided to give up the Hokage's position, partly to give an account to the village, and partly to pin his hopes on the next generation.

Sarutobi knew that if he proposed to resign from the Hokage's position, then this request should be passed quickly, and after passing, the election of the fourth Hokage would probably be the first major event after the war.

There is already a suitable candidate for the fourth generation of Hokage, and in order to prevent the group from hiding on the sidelines after leaving office, he proposed that Bo Feng Shuimen and Yuehua Ai be elected to the Senate in the recent meeting.

Whether it is for public or private, strengthening the voice of their own side cannot be ignored, once the election of the fourth Hokage begins, don't look at the two senators now, they are not conspicuous, but when the time comes, they may become a straw that breaks the camel's back.

The Hokage's seat was an irresistible temptation for most ninjas, and in order to keep the careerist from taking control of Konoha , it was necessary and necessary for Sarutobi to make arrangements as soon as possible.

In his own faction, there are actually many candidates suitable for the position of the fourth generation Hokage, not to mention his disciples Orochimaru and Jiraiya, even if it is Bo Feng Shuimen, it is also very suitable.

As far as selfishness is concerned, Sarutobi actually wants Orochimaru to serve as the fourth Hokage, but with the decrease in communication in recent years, an inexplicable estrangement has appeared somewhat abruptly between the two.

Through the feedback of the dark department, the frequency of communication between Orochimaru and Tuanzang has been somewhat frequent in recent years, and Ape Fei Risha, who is well aware of Tuanzang's ambitions, is very worried that Orochimaru will be affected by Tuanzang.

Orochimaru's position has now made Sarutobi feel a little difficult to see, even if the other party is his most trusted disciple, but in the face of Hokage's position, he can't be cautious.

In terms of strength and influence, in addition to Orochimaru, Jilai is also a good choice, but thinking of the other party's lazy nature, Ape Fei still shook his head and kicked this idea out of his mind.

Among the younger generation, among the candidates who have both strength and prestige, except for the two, only Watergate is not bad. As a disciple of Jilaiya and his own disciple and grandson, the three generations have recognized Shuimen very much in terms of conduct and strength.

Except for Orochimaru, who has a vague stance, Mizuto is the best candidate for the fourth Hokage. He is young enough, full of vitality, strong enough to suppress one side, decent enough, all kinds of good qualities can be reflected in the other party, think about it, in addition to his own position is not high enough, it seems that Watergate is more suitable than Orochimaru.

When Watergate became famous, Sarutobi had a faint idea of letting the other party take his place, and this proposal for the Senate was also to improve Watergate's status in Konoha management.

Once their side confirms Watergate as the fourth-generation candidate, the weight of these two senators is very considerable.

Regarding giving the seat of the Senate to Yuehua Ai, Ape Fei Ri Slash didn't think too much. In his eyes, Yuehua Ai is definitely someone on his own side, and because of his background, it is impossible for the other party to covet the position of the Hokage. Once the election begins, the other party's bills will definitely be voted for their own candidates, so it seems that Yuehuaai is a very stable bargaining chip.

"I think it's possible!"

He didn't pay attention to Sarutobi's gaze, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and before Danzang could speak, Mito Menyan nodded first.

"Our Konoha Senate is not a child's play, let's not talk about the water gate, that Yue Huaai is still a child, with his military exploits, he can directly award a high position without thinking about other things?

Hearing Mito Menyan refute his opinion, Koharu's brows couldn't help but furrow deeply.

Mito Menyan is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to be powerful, why ......

"Needless to say, I think very clearly. ”

Looking at the questioning eyes of Koharu, Mito Menyan just shook his head slightly,

"As far as the military exploits are concerned, whether it is Watergate or Yuehuaai, they are all qualified to become senators, I know your concerns, but as long as I think about a few of us, I feel that young people should be given some opportunities, after all, we are old, this era is the era of young people, and the twilight we have been contaminated from the old era is likely to have a bad impact on the village inadvertently, so I think it is a good choice to hear the voices of young people when deciding on the affairs of the village!"

"Menyan, you ......"

Koharu was a little stunned, she didn't expect Mito to think of this.

"What about your opinion?" said Ape Fei Hizap again.

Mito Menyan's consideration is somewhat similar to Saruto's Rizap, with the support of the other party, then this matter is almost settled, but there is still some difference between the result of forcibly pushing some things and promoting them homeopathically, although I don't care if Tuanzang will oppose it, but Sarufei still wants to know the other party's answer after all.
