Chapter 770: The Right to Nominate (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
Strictly speaking, the last legitimate Hokage of Konoha was not the three generations of Hokage sitting in the main seat of the conference room at this time, but the Danzo who had defected.
Danzou is the acting Hokage who is truly recognized by both the village and the Daimyo of the Fire Country, and is the official and legitimate successor of the three Hokages.
Of course, with the private holding of the 'Blood Succession Fusion Ceremony' in Danzang, which caused thousands of Konoha ninja to be killed and wounded, and defected, his identity as the acting Hokage was naturally deprived by the village.
So in comparison, in Konoha Village at the moment, the position of the Hokage is actually vacant.
The reason why everyone acquiesced in the three generations to succeed Tuanzang to perform the duties of Hokage was just because after Tuanzang defected, the entire village was panicked, and a strong man with qualifications and prestige urgently needed to stand up and stabilize people's hearts.
Now Uchiha Fugaku is using this as an excuse to demand the official election of the fifth Hokage at a high-level meeting, which is legally irrefutable.
After just a slight mutter, the three generations of Hokage on the main throne nodded and said, "Yes, the village should indeed officially elect the fifth generation Hokage!" ”
Zhuan Xiaochun's face changed: "Ri Chop, how can you..."
The three generations of Hokage first made a calm gesture to Koharu, and then said to everyone with a calm face: "I temporarily took the position of Hokage, but because the situation was forced at that time, now that the situation has calmed down, it is time to elect the fifth generation Hokage." ”
It's true that Miyo doesn't want to give the Hokage to the Uchiha clan, but he doesn't want to break the rules of the village.
Because this set of rules is the guarantee that the Hokage family can continue to inherit, if he breaks this rule himself, then others will be able to follow suit in the future.
Zhuan Xiaochun also quickly realized this, and immediately kept silent.
At the beginning of the meeting, such a hot topic was raised, which caught the high-level leaders off guard, some of them were surprised, some were thoughtful, and some of them had flashing eyes.
For a moment, there was a brief silence in the conference room.
The one who broke the silence was still the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku, who smiled and said confidently: "As the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, I declare that I will participate in this election of the five generations of Hokage at the same time as Shisui!" ”
As soon as Fu Yue's words fell, the eyes of many high-level officials turned to him.
Zhuan Xiaochun said even more unceremoniously: "I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules!" ”
Konoha elects the Hokage, and there is a mature set of rules, that is, the former Hokage, or the advisory elders nominate them, and then a vote of confidence is held by all the upper ninjas, and the one who passes can become the new Hokage.
Except for the first and second generations of Hokage who created Konoha with their own hands, the successor Hokage, without exception, was elected through this set of rules.
For example, the third generation is nominated by the second generation.
When running for the fourth Hokage, the third generation, who was the former Hokage, nominated Bo Feng Shuimen, and Danzo, who was an advisor elder, nominated Orochimaru, and Bo Feng Shuimen defeated Orochimaru in a vote of confidence and successfully ascended to the position of the fourth Hokage.
Later, Danzou became the acting Hokage, and he also removed the three generations through a vote of confidence, and as his advisor elder, he nominated himself and became a candidate for the Hokage.
It's just that he didn't pass the vote of confidence of all the shinobi, so he only became the temporary acting Hokage, and the unofficial fifth Hokage.
It can be said that it is this set of rules, or more specifically, the 'nomination power' possessed by the former Hokage and the Advisor Elders, that is the key to the Hokage's lineage.
As long as the right to nominate is maintained, the Hokage family can easily control the choice of successor!
Glaring at Koharu coldly, Fuyue said sharply: "I think everyone present should not be forgetful, the four generations nominated by the three generations died inexplicably, and during the term of office of the three generations, the village suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, and then the group nominated by the advisory elder group defected as the acting Hokage, making the village a laughing stock of the entire ninja world!" ”
Listening to Fuyue's cold accusation, Zhuan Xiaochun was speechless, and the three generations on the main throne also looked gloomy.
The death of the fourth generation can be said to be an accident, but the destruction of the village and the defection of the group are indeed the responsibilities of the Hokage family.
In particular, the defection of Danzo as the acting Hokage has made it a little difficult for the Hokage family to talk about it to this day, because there has never been a bizarre incident in the ninja world where the shadow of a village defected, and Konoha was embarrassed in this regard and threw it to his grandmother's house.
Unlike the wordlessness of the Hokage family, the patriarchs of the major families attending the meeting whispered to each other, even the three 'Pig Deer Butterfly' families, who had always supported the three generations.
Because there is indeed some truth in Fuyue's words, the Hokage series has indeed made frequent tricks in recent years, and there has been infighting between the Hokage series and the three generations before.
And Danzou, who successfully seized the position of Hokage, not only failed to fulfill the Hokage's obligations, but for his own selfishness, he held a 'blood succession fusion ceremony' in private from everyone, and disregarded the lives of the Konoha ninjas, causing hundreds of casualties among the Konoha ninjas, which made the trust of the major families in the Hokage family fall to the bottom.
After examining the expressions on the faces of the patriarchs of the major families, the three generations knew that they could no longer suppress the Uchiha clan forcefully at this time, so they could only choose to compromise and said, "If you Uchiha clan insist, I will approve!" ”
Fugaku immediately said: "We insist, this time Shisui and I will participate in the election of the fifth generation Hokage at the same time!" Moreover, I propose that this election be joined by the competition, after all, the threat of the Akatsuki organization is imminent, and we in Konoha need a powerful Hokage! ”
The reason why Fugaku pulled on the stop water was to further increase the chances of the Uchiha clan being elected, and because it was a regular candidacy, the stop water as a member of the Uchiha had no reason to refuse.
As for Shinichi, because he had defected, he had no chance to be with the Hokage for the rest of his life, so Fugaku did not include him in the ranks of the five generations of Hokage.
Looking at the confident Fuyue, Rizu was also a little moved, but in the end he sighed and said secretly: "It's a pity, if only I had found the giant reincarnation eye!" ”
This time, the Hokage was forced to make a compromise and relax the restrictions on the right to nominate, which was actually an opportunity for the Hyuga clan.
It's just that without the help of the giant reincarnation eye, Hinata has no confidence to match the Uchiha clan with the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, so he can only regretfully watch the opportunity slip away from him.
The other major ninja clans also had their thoughts, but when they thought of facing the kaleidoscope of the Uchiha family, the thoughts that had just been alive were quickly extinguished.
On the main seat, the third generation, who had been silently observing everyone's expressions, said at this time: "In the name of the former Hokage, I nominated Kakashi Kakashi to run for the fifth generation Hokage!" ”
The first more is offered, ask for a recommendation ticket, a monthly pass!
