Chapter 257: The game of Konoha higher-ups
It's really unexpected.
The original plan of the Uchiha clan was to decide the theme of their next clan meeting based on the Hokage candidates for this ninja class meeting, but suddenly someone pushed their clan's star of hope to the position of Hokage candidate!
And it still looks like there are no competitors...
I thought that this time it was Jiraiya and Tsunade, the two Konoha three ninja-level figures, and it could also be the replacement of young ninjas such as Kakashi Hachiki...
Who would have thought that Tsunade would directly recommend the twelve-year-old Itachi Uchiha!
If it weren't for the meeting of the upper ninja class that was still being held now, the Uchiha clan would probably have returned to the basement of Nanga Shrine to celebrate!
Jirai was also beaten to the hospital by Tsunade, and it was a big failure that he didn't appear at the upper ninja class meeting today, but even if he appeared here, it was impossible for him to compete with his disciple for the position of Hokage.
What's more, the white-haired old man has given up many opportunities to succeed the Hokage, and this time he directly offside to make his disciple a candidate for the Hokage, and I think he is also in favor...
The two disciples he values the most, one is the fourth generation Hokage of Konoha, and the other will become the fifth generation of Konoha!
This quality of education... Who in the ninja world can compare?
"Are there any other candidates besides Uchiha Itachi?"
Ape Fei Ri knocked on the table, signaling the ninjas present to be quiet, especially the group of people with the clan emblem of the group fan behind their backs...
The old man can't directly express his unwillingness to let Uchiha Itachi succeed the fifth generation of Hokage, in case Uchiha Fugaku takes their clan to directly flip the table, then Konoha is estimated to be finished.
Sarutobi glanced at Nara Shikaku, who was pushed aside by Tsunade, raised his head and looked at him, and said, "Nara Shikaku, as the leader of the upper ninja class, do you have a nominee?" ”
"Not at the moment."
The Nara family is not very good at anything else, so they have a good brain, and those who have brains and no brains present know that if Konoha has no accident, the future of Konoha must be the era of Uchiha Itachi, so why should he touch his head?
Under the general trend, choosing Uchiha Itachi is political insurance...
If you bring up anything like Jiraiya, Kakashi Hachiki, etc., which sweeps everyone's interest, maybe you can add points to Sarutobi for the time being, but it will definitely offend Tsunade and the Uchiha clan to death...
The Nara family has always had a stable family style.
“……”
The three generations of Hokage glanced around, and it seemed that the old man finally realized a problem, in order to completely master Konoha, he deprived Shimura Danzou and Zhuan Koharu of their positions, and placed his two disciples in important positions...
As a result, the two disciples did not act with him ...
Now it's off...
Twelve-year-old Hokage candidate, is it about to break a record again?
When the children at the ninja school were still clamoring to become Hokage in the future, one of their contemporaries became the only candidate for the fifth generation Hokage at this age...
He had to live well, otherwise wouldn't that little guy Uchiha Itachi be able to succeed the Hokage before he was twenty years old?
He is also to blame for his poor consideration of this matter, because Uchiha Itachi graduated too early, and in just a few years, he has walked many roads that ninjas can't walk in their lifetime...
This is really hard to ride a tiger!
But there is no harm in this matter, the twelve-year-old Hokage candidate still looks like a child, and the daimyo must not be satisfied, right?
At that time, if the Uchiha Itachi problem provokes the dissatisfaction of the Daimyo, he may not have the opportunity to operate in the dark.
Let the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who fanned all year round, deprive Uchiha Itachi of his Hokage candidacy...
"Since you have no objections, then I hereby announce that Uchiha Itachi has become a candidate for the fifth generation of Hokage..."Sarutobi coughed lightly and continued in a low voice: "There is one more thing, we are selecting Hokage candidates during this period to arrange a special mission. ”
"The news of the country of the wind, everyone here should have received the news..."The three generations of Hokage raised his eyes and looked at the people present, his face gradually became solemn: "Due to the actions of the four generations of Kazekage, the relationship between the various ninja villages and the daimyo has become unprecedentedly tense..."
"In order to regain the trust of the daimyo and urge the daimyo to make financial allocations after the New Year, the village decided to send an important person to the daimyo's mansion to protect the daimyo's safety..."
“……”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had already come to their senses, and it was obvious that their meeting today was to decide which one to send to the Daimyo Mansion to accept the direct jurisdiction of the Daimyo of the Fire Country.
The reason why the three generations of Hokage proposed the Hokage candidate should be the main purpose of wanting Konoha's Hokage candidate to be a hostage.
I don't know who came up with this trick ...
It's a bit of a bad thing...
"I think Mito Menyan-sama is more suitable, as a Hokage advisor, Mito Menyan-sama has had a lot of contact with the Daimyo Mansion all year round, dealing with the relationship between the village and the Daimyo, and he is currently the most suitable person in the village."
Uchiha Fugaku was the first to speak, he already understood the careful thinking of Sarutobi, the old father didn't want his son to take care of the security of the Daimyo Mansion at all!
Now that their Uchiha clan has regained hope of entering the Konoha Hub, why bother wading into any troubled waters, in case the bamboo basket is empty...
I think that Hachiki Shuomao, Orochimaru and others also had great hopes of becoming Hokage, but their fate was not good at all!
Mito Menyan felt a little surprised, he had a low sense of presence in the high-level of Konoha, and subconsciously wanted to take the matter on himself: "It's okay, I'll do it tomorrow..."
Ape Fei Ri looked at his old friend beside him, glanced at him, and interrupted his speech: "No, Menyan is already old, and his energy is a little lacking... I think we should send young ninjas to them. ”
The old father watched the interaction between the two old men above, and couldn't help but be indignant: "In this way, since the senior Mito Menyan is old, isn't he not qualified to serve as the Hokage's advisor now!" ”
Shimura Danzou knocked on the table and snorted coldly, "What we are talking about now is to send someone to the Daimyo Mansion to ease the relationship between the current village and the Daimyo, not to question whether the Hokage advisor is qualified..."
"I support Mito Menyan-sama! With his identity and ability, he is the most suitable to go to the Daimyo's Mansion! ”
"Uchiha Itachi, you just became a candidate for Hokage in the village, shouldn't you make some contribution to the village?"
"Itachi is still young, obviously not suitable for this heavy responsibility!"
"Isn't the position of the Hokage's candidate heavy enough?"
"Shimura Danzo, what the hell do you mean! Do you want to take the opportunity to murder the Hokage candidate in the village? ”
"Uchiha Fugaku, don't insinuate!"
The root leader glanced coldly at his political enemy, calmly closed his eyes and continued, "I just think that the Konoha Police Force has been sending people to protect the daimyo since the disbandment of the Guardian Ninja Twelve. Uchiha Itachi, as the strongest ninja in the Uchiha clan at the moment, can just coordinate the relationship..."
"I'm sorry! The Ministry of Defense has just decided that it has sent two teams of ninjas to replace the police force personnel of the Daimyo Mansion! ”
"I'm also the chief executive of the Konoha Defense Department, why haven't I received any news about this matter, I oppose this proposal, the Ministry of Defense is an important force for Konoha to show its military strength to the outside world..."
"According to the regulations of the Ministry of Defense, after the approval of the two chief executives, they can directly report to the supreme governor, and there is no need for some people who are vegetarian to know!"
“……”
Seeing that the two high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Defense were arguing at the meeting, and when the other shinobi moved their bodies and retreated, Sarutobi slapped his palm on the table: "Quiet! This is the upper ninja class meeting, and I am now giving orders in the name of the acting Hokage..."
"The personnel sent to the Daimyo Mansion are in charge of Uchiha Itachi, and as a candidate for the Hokage, when he succeeds to the Five Daime in the future, he must also be appointed by the Daimyo..."
The young man stood up, pulled his father's sleeve, and nodded seriously at the ape flying sun: "Obey!" ”
"Menyan's age is indeed the age of retirement..."
Sarutobi Hiza's gaze scanned back and forth between Uchiha Fugaku and Shimura Danzo, and said softly: "The position of Hokage advisor has been vacant for a long time, and Menyan is about to retire, so I hereby appoint Uchiha Fugaku and Shimura Danzou as Hokage advisors to assist in handling important affairs in the village, do you have any objections?" ”
Uchiha Fugaku glanced at Shimura Tunzo reluctantly, and could only bow his head helplessly: "... Be. ”
Although his son got the position of Hokage's candidate and was about to be kicked out of Konoha again, now that he has also obtained the position of Hokage's advisor, he is finally able to interfere in the affairs of the village as the head of the Uchiha clan...
"The old man understands."
The one-eyed old man didn't care, and he knew very well in his heart that Sarutobi didn't want the Uchiha clan to dominate the high-level family in Konoha anymore, and it was a surprise that he regained the power of the Hokage's advisor.
Even if it's not as powerful as Tsunade's Hokage, he won't be accused by that grumpy woman of not having the right to speak or anything in the future...
Retired Mito Menita: "......"
What do you mean!
Make innocent bystanders get into trouble in a disturbance...
This is to take his position off! He is an ordinary Hokage consultant who is conscientious and does a good job, and he is usually very low-key, and he will not make trouble and make enemies, so why is he suddenly about to retire...
Ape Fei Ri called him to a meeting, that is, to expel him in public?
