Chapter 129: The Hokage Contest
On top of the five-story pavilion a few hundred meters away, the Daimyo of the Fire Country, who was guarded by a large number of samurai, rushed to hear the news.
"Those two are the two most outstanding of the young generation of Konoha."
"Yes, Your Excellency." At this moment, the ninja leader who guards the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is a shinobi of the Konoha Sarutobi clan.
"I heard that this time in the ninja war, our Fire Country has turned the corner and entered the counteroffensive stage."
"Both Sand Hidden and Fog Hidden have signed an armistice agreement with us, and now, only Yun Yin and Iwain are still fighting against the Shangnin team we sent on the northern front."
"Yes." The Daimyo of the Fire Nation stretched out his hand towards the big pit, "Let the two of them, come and see me, I heard that His Excellency Hokage is already preparing to choose the next heir of the village, and the two of them are also one of the hot candidates." ”
The ninjas and ministers standing around lowered their heads one after another, forgetting what the Daimyo of the Fire Country said at this moment, and the position of the Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village was something they could talk about.
The two figures of "Huh" were instructed to rush to the front.
"I've seen Your Excellency." Bo Feng Shuimen and Qi Mu Zhai glanced at each other and said in unison.
"It's worthy of the two geniuses of Konoha." The daimyo casually took out the two volumes of the Book of Seals, "This is the information just sent from the front line, and there is another volume, which is the battle report sent to me by the three generations of Hokage, the two of you, both of you, Bo Feng Shuimen, did a good job in the mission of the Kamino Bridge, as for the Qimu Tribulation, the three generations of Thunder Shadow, you defeated it with your own hands." ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for the compliment." Bo Feng Shuimen is very humble.
"Hmm." He doesn't need it at all, it's just that Konoha obeys the Daimyo of the Fire Country, as the military force of the Fire Country, so when facing the Daimyo, he also needs to retain a little respect.
"It's really good, it's better to see it after hearing it for a long time, and give the two of you lunch."
"Yes."
"Thank you, Your Excellency." The two nodded at the same time, the Daimyo Mansion gave a banquet, and in the Konoha Ninja Village, except for the Hokage of the past dynasties, I am afraid, even the three ninjas, there is no such opportunity.
"Who's that, make up for the big hole in the training ground."
"Yes." Under the embarrassed expressions of the two, a ninja who was good at earth escape stepped forward and quickly began to seal.
After the ninjutsu was performed, the ground of "Tu Dun Youwei Transformation" trembled rapidly, and then, the catastrophe saw the big pit on the ground, which was filled in, and the training ground after filling in was basically the same as before.
"Please, two." Led by a minister, the two arrived at the banquet hall of the Daimyo's Mansion.
Not to mention the wine banquet, the banquet in the Daimyo's Mansion is indeed more luxurious than the outside, but it is also more dishes such as chicken, duck and fish.
After Bo Feng Shuimen and Qimu Zhai left the Daimyo's mansion, the daimyo squinted and still came to the five-story pavilion, and the ministers beside him listened respectfully to his reprimand.
"Who do you think is better?"
"If you talk about combat merits, the two are basically indistinguishable, but the strength of Lord Tribulation can defeat three generations of Thunder Shadow, even in the village, it is one of the best, if you choose by strength, I think Lord Tribulation is good."
"Bo Feng Shuimen has a milder temperament, and he has been doing some S-level tasks before, he is the apprentice of one of the three ninjas of Konoha Jiraiya, and he is also the apprentice grandson of the three generations of Hokage, so in terms of background, he must be better."
"I guess Ape Fei also has a headache, giggle......" The Daimyo of the Land of Fire opened the folding fan in his hand at will, covering half of his face, the fan was the same size as the top of his head, however, there was no excessive pattern, and the fan on the top of his head had a symbol of flames.
Just as he said this, Sarutobi, who was far away in the Hokage office of Konoha Ninja Village, covered his head and fell into deep thought, standing in front of him, Shimura Danzo, Zhuan Koharu, Mito Menyan, the three elder advisors were already there.
"Ape Fei, you're old, or, haven't you decided on a candidate?" Mito Menyan sighed, the gradually aging ape flying to the sun, in this ninja world war seems so powerless, they also feel the crisis of Konoha, originally, just want to consume the power of the big family, but, compared to the Hyuga clan who obeyed the Hokage, this time, the losses were heavy, and the Uchiha clan, which originally needed to be beaten, did not have much loss.
It's just that if the ape flies and slashes, he wants to continue to suppress, wants to maintain peace in the village, and the majesty of the past has come to an end, and now, he is facing pressure.
The war had made him tired, and the village needed new blood to lead.
Mito Menyan was the first to propose a candidate for the fourth generation of Hokage, but the person he recommended was Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas of Konoha.
Sarutobi shook his head, "That guy has a free and easy nature, I asked him a long time ago if he would like to take over the Hokage, and he refused. ”
Immediately afterwards, Koharu sighed, "Although Tsunade's temperament is a little hotter, whether it is strength or background, he is a candidate who can inherit the Hokage, but at this moment, he is nowhere to be found." ”
"Orochimaru's words, how's it going?" Danzang squinted, he and Orochimaru, no one knew that there was a special cooperative relationship between them.
In his eyes, there was some darkness of ambition, and he ...... No way. ”
The decisive veto of the Ape Flying Sun Slash made Tuan Zang feel a little surprised, Orochimaru, after all, is a disciple of the Ape Flying Sun Slash.
"What about Ape Fei, who do you like?" Tuan Zang snorted coldly, he didn't like the attitude of ape flying to the sun the most.
"Still thinking about it." Ape Fei Ri Slash stood up, he was now, a little difficult to judge.
"Since the three ninjas have been vetoed, then we have to look at the younger generation."
"Well, in the selection of the Hokage, the priority must be to choose young blood, Bo Feng Shuimen, I think, it's good." Turning to bed, Koharu almost knew the mind of the ape flying to the sun.
"If you are of the younger generation, at present, in Konoha Village, the most famous ninjas, the yellow flash wave Feng Shui Gate, the Shura Blade Banner Mu Tribulation, the green seedling ape flying Shinnosuke, the red sunset sunset is really red......"
"Hey, the sunset is really red or something, it's not the younger generation." Danzo opened his mouth and interrupted Mito Menyan's speech.
"If the sunset is really red, then the blue beast Maite Dai should also be counted."
The three generations frowned slightly, and the tone in Tuan Zang's words was already a little sarcastic, Maite Dai, although he made great achievements and got a resounding title when the Seven of the Fog Hidden Ninja Sword invaded, but after all, he had become disabled in a wheelchair, and his legs were no longer able to walk freely.
"Shinnosuke doesn't count, that kid, his strength is not enough, and his prestige is still a little worse." After a moment of silence, Ape Fei Ri suddenly spoke.
"Ape Fei, then what do you like, is it Bo Feng Shui Gate, or Qi Mu Tribulation?"
Sarutobi fell silent again, and if he could make a decision in his own mind, it would be easy.
"Watergate has made great achievements in the Third Ninja World War, his prestige and strength are obvious to all, and his temperament is also good, this kind of energetic young man, if he can succeed him, it should be a good choice." Mito Menyan was the first to speak.
"However, the Qimu Tribulation is not bad, he forced to land in the fog by himself, in the battle of Kikyo Mountain, the secret brewing recipe that turned the tide of the battle, that is, he provided, and, in the battle report that came just now, he also defeated three generations of Thunder Shadow."
"It's just that this kid's background is a bit troublesome...... Shimura Danzo sneered, what kind of joke is it to let the flag wood robbery who has a holiday with him take the position, then his position as an elder advisor will be gone.
"His father is Konoha White Fang, and he is also a famous flag family in Konoha , and his younger brother is also an outstanding young ninja in the village, how can there be a problem?"
Shimura Danzo didn't say a word, and glanced at Mito Menyan, who sighed, "The first Hokage-sama-sama was the hero who ended the war, and everyone expected it, the second-generation Hokage-sama, who is his younger brother, is also the hero who developed countless ninjutsu and established the ninja school, as for the third generation Hokage Hichi, you are a disciple of the second-generation Hokage-sama......" At this point, Koharu obviously understood something.
When the second generation Hokage led several of them, when they were besieged by Yun Shinobi's Golden Horn and Silver Horn troops, they chose to sacrifice themselves.
"The inheritance of the will of fire, the choice of objects, can not be inactive, their strength and prestige, are the best choice, but choose the real heir, Ape Fei, you still have to be cautious." Tuan Zang turned around and walked to the door, today's deliberation was proposed by him, and he just wanted to test the idea of ape flying and slashing, however, he has now been answered, Orochimaru, it seems, there is not much hope, if Qi Mu is robbed, he will never allow this guy to become the Hokage, as for Bo Feng Shuimen, he sneered in his heart.
"Jiraiya's disciple inherits the position of Hokage, Hichi, you guy, do you want to control Konoha with your own disciples?" He couldn't help but scoff at the idea of ape flying back into the background.
"It's a time of war, so let's wait until it's over." Sarutobi sighed, his gaze retracted from the back of Tuan Zang's departure, and ended the rest of the discussion with a word.
"In addition, send a message to the Watergate team, it's time to go, and Iwa Shinobi's troops will not give up their plan to attack our village just because the supplies on the supply line have been destroyed."
