8. Candidate for the Hokage's successor
After Bai Fang led the team to infiltrate Yunyin Village, he lived up to expectations and successfully captured the scroll of relevant research results. However, during the retreat, one of the teammates was seriously injured and could not escape from the enemy's encirclement.
As a result, White Fang is caught in the dilemma of whether to continue with the mission or save his companions.
The end result, as we all know, is that White Fang abandons the mission he was about to complete in order to save the seriously injured teammate. Return the resulting scroll to Cloud Hidden Village in exchange for the safe evacuation of the entire team.
Soon after, Yunyin Village launched a large-scale invasion attack under the pretext that Konoha was the first to provoke. Due to the lack of precautions on the Konoha front, they were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
It can be said that the result of this fiasco was entirely caused by Konoha's insufficient troops in strategic deployment and insufficient vigilance against the enemy.
As for the responsibility of the white fang, it is not too big to say that it is small. Even if White Fang didn't sneak into Yunyin Village to carry out the mission, it didn't necessarily mean that Yunyin Village wouldn't launch this big sneak attack.
Because of war, there is never a shortage of reasons and excuses!
Even without the White Fang's mission incident, Cloud Hidden Village would have been able to find other reasons to invade.
Later, I don't know what wind is blowing in the village, and some people actually began to criticize that White Fang was very responsible for the sneak attack on Yunyin, which happened to be the high-level of Konoha at this time, and at this time, a top sheep was indeed needed to be responsible for this incident.
As a result, the high-level leaders of Konoha acquiesced to the fact that White Fang was a sinner, and White Fang naturally became the backstabber. Just like the Uchiha Itachi in the original book, he took all the responsibility for the Uchiha extermination.
Although it is said that the high-level of Konoha does not mean to take the initiative to blame, they also have the responsibility of deliberate indulgence.
The three generations of Hokage rubbed his eyebrows, sighed, and said with emotion:
"We just think about Shuo Mao from the perspective of an elite ninja, but we ignore that he is still a very respectable father! It's because we didn't think about it enough, and we almost made a big mistake! ”
At that time, the three generations of Hokage, like many high-level officials, believed that White Fang, as the leader of the dark department, was absolutely no problem in terms of psychological resistance, and should be able to resist the pressure of public opinion. But ignoring the pressure from his son Kakashi's side led to a misjudgment that almost led to a tragedy.
"It was indeed our mistake, but fortunately it did not lead to a tragedy. I think we should guide the public opinion of the villagers in time now, and we can't let Shuomao bear too much pressure! ”
Nara Shikaze deserves to be a qualified right-hand man, and in a matter of moments, he immediately came up with a suitable solution.
"That's right, you hurry up and make arrangements, guide the villagers properly, and don't slander Shuo Mao again. In addition, it is also appropriate to publicize Shuo Shige's contributions to the village over the years, especially the brilliant achievements made in the Second Shinobi War! ”
"Understood, I'll arrange it right away."
"By the way, how is the battle situation in the Yunyin area now?"
The three generations are still more concerned about Yun Yin's movements, after all, the Second Ninja World War has just ended a few years, and now is the best time to recuperate and digest the results of the war, and it is not appropriate to start a war again.
"According to the latest information, the battle line in the Yunyin area, under the leadership of Zilaiye's disciple Bo Feng Shuimen, has gradually stabilized. If nothing else, it won't be long before the war over there will be an end! Nara Shikaze said as he pulled out a piece of information and handed it to the three generations of Hokage.
Although Yun Yin was menacing this time, after all, he did not use the strength of the whole country to launch an attack, so the scale was limited. After all, there is not only one war opponent in Yunyin Village, but there is also a Yanyin Village that is eyeing Yunyin Village.
"Hmmm! This kid from Watergate is still very good, with outstanding ability and responsibility, and it is worth focusing on cultivating! ”
Hearing Shikakaze's report, the three generations of Hokage finally showed a satisfied smile. (^_^)
Having said that, Sarutobi is already fifty years old this year, and although it is said that it is at its peak, it is also the time when it is beginning to gradually decline.
In the original book, the sixty-eight-year-old third generation of the eye fought against his own son, Orochimaru, and finally had to take Orochimaru's soul hands at the cost of death and repel it. It can be seen that the strength of the three generations at that time has obviously regressed a lot.
After all, he is also an ordinary person, after all, he can't compete with the pig-killing knife of time, and he can't accept the old age!
Therefore, it is time to put the task of training the next generation of successors on the agenda.
He has three personal disciples, that is, the legendary three ninjas.
Although all of them have excellent combat power, the position of the Hokage cannot be done well by relying on the force value, it needs to be taken into account in many aspects, and the most important thing is to be able to convince and lead everyone.
Orochimaru's ability is outstanding in all aspects, however, this one is relatively dark, and his eyes are full of ambition. If he becomes a Hokage, I'm afraid he will take the extreme route like Danzo. If that's the case, it's too extreme, and it's very likely that Konoha will be pushed into the middle of the catastrophe.
It's okay, and the ability is pretty good in all aspects. Although a little...... Ahem, this is nothing, the old man also had this when he was young...... Ahem, ahem, crooked!
To put it simply, this problem is not big, just marry a strong daughter-in-law and suppress it. The biggest problem is that this person is used to being free, and he is often a hanger, which is indeed not a good material to be a leader.
Tsunade, although she is a woman, but her ability is still very outstanding, especially a medical ninjutsu, which can be called invincible in the ninja world, and she is also the granddaughter of the first generation, and she is from a good background.
However, her personality is too irritable, and she has to beat people at every turn, and the people who have been poisoned by her still don't know how much, even her own master, has not been spared. And the good ones don't learn, but they learn the habits of the first Hokage's bad gambling...... (-_-#)
Alas, it doesn't seem to be a good fit to be a leader......
As for White Fang, who is excellent in every way? Whether it is ability, character, or origin, they are all impeccable. But, hey, hey, hey, I'm sorry, but it's not in the picture!
As for the reason? Just like the inheritance of the sect, the successor of the shadow position is also in the same line under normal circumstances. Under normal circumstances, it is either passed from master to disciple, or Lao Tzu to son, or elder brother to younger brother, and so on. In the ninja world, this has become an unwritten habit.
Because the Hokage world itself is a world that pays great attention to bloodline and origin, the descendants or disciples of the shadow are generally easier to be recognized by others.
For example, after Payne attacked Konoha, Tsunade fell unconscious, so he needed to reselect the sixth Hokage.
At the meeting, when the daimyo of the Fire Nation heard that Kakashi was a disciple of the fourth generation of Hokage, and then the fourth generation of Hokage was the disciple of the third generation of the Hokage, his eyes suddenly lit up for Kakashi, and his favorability increased by several grades. If it weren't for Danzo, a black-bellied man, who would have been an obstacle, Kakashi would have been chosen as the sixth Hokage.
Having said that, it seems that there has always been a master-apprentice relationship or a kinship relationship between the Hokages of all generations!
The situation in other ninja villages is unknown, but there are similar situations.
For example, it is known that the four generations of Kazekage-Raksha and the fifth generation of Kazekage I Airo are father and son, the third generation of Thunder Shadow and the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow-Ai are also father and son, the third generation of Tsuchikage-Onoki and the fourth generation of Tsuchikage-Kuroto are grandfather and grandson, the fifth generation of Mizukage-Terumi and the sixth generation of Mizukage-Chojuro are master-apprentice relationships, and so on, there are too many examples, too many to count......
Therefore, unless you suddenly "accept the appointment in danger" like Tuan Zang, otherwise, outsiders will rarely have the opportunity to directly ascend to the position.
Therefore, in the case of normal alignment, the white teeth are not ranked.
So, Uncle White Fang, if you're worried about the Hokage, let's wash and sleep!
Hey, the third generation is a little melancholy, and the position of the Hokage is about to have no successor!
"Bo Feng Shuimen is indeed a good seedling, with outstanding ability, and has won everyone's trust. I am also a disciple of Jiraiya, cultivate it well, and I will definitely be able to take charge of it in the future! ”
"Hmmm! A very good kid indeed! ”
Since Uzumaki Jiu Sinai, who was a candidate for the Nine-Tails Human Pillar Force, was secretly robbed by Yun Yin, and then rescued by Bo Feng Shuimen alone, Shuimen began to enter the sight of Konoha high-level and was listed as a key training object. Therefore, I had the opportunity to learn the second generation of Hokage-Thousand Hands' Forbidden Technique-Flying Thunder God's Technique.
Up to now, Bo Feng Shuimen's performance has become more and more outstanding, and the results are outstanding.
The three generations are very satisfied, and they have officially included Watergate in the candidates for the successor of the Hokage!
......
After the spread of Lomi and Nohara Rin, soon, the whole village knew that White Fang almost committed suicide.
Subsequently, after the senior management of Konoha got the relevant news, they also made a decision as soon as possible.
On the one hand, it began to secretly guide the public opinion to develop in favor of the white fang. On the other hand, the three generations of Hokage came to the door in time to catch up with White Fang, talk to him, chat, and soothe his emotions.
Seeing that White Fang's mental state was stable, the hanging heart of the three generations of Hokage could finally be put down with peace of mind.
As for public opinion in the village, it quickly turned. After all, it is not difficult for the leadership to guide public opinion, no matter what world it is in.
So soon, basically no one criticized White Fang anymore, and no one bothered Kakashi anymore. Even those who had slandered Hakuya and Kakashi before apologized to the two fathers and sons.
Especially the teammate who was saved by White Fang, he was even more ashamed, and came to apologize as soon as possible......
All in all, the incident was perfectly resolved, and White Fang was saved! (☆_☆)!
