Chapter 16: The Succession Ceremony of the Three Hokages

On the day of the Hokage's succession, Konoha Village was crowded with people who gathered around the Hokage Building.

"In the name of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, I agree that Sarutobi Hizashi will become the new Hokage!"

The stout Daimyo of the Fire Country, supported by his entourage, faced the respectful Sarutobi and announced.

"Thank you, Daimyo!"

Sarutobi took the hat with the word 'fire' printed on it, which represented the symbol of the Hokage, walked to the high platform of the Hokage building, faced the crowd below, put the hat on his head with both hands, and then loudly announced:

"I, Sarutobi Sun Slash, from now on, I will be the official third generation of Hokage!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Lord Miyome!"

"Hokage-sama!"

The villagers below all cheered enthusiastically, and for a while, Konoha Village was filled with a lively atmosphere.

Xue Hui stood at the top of a tall building, looking at the ape flying sun slash on the Hokage building waving his arm downward, and said without looking back:

"Now you're the Hokage's disciples! This is more than my vortex shadow is coming to pull the wind, how is it, what is the different feeling? ”

Behind Xue Hui, there was a young Sannin.

"Although we are indeed very happy that Sarutobi-sensei has become the Hokage, Uncle Xuehui, you are my relative!"

Tsunade said playfully.

"I feel that whether it is a shadow or not, or what a shadow is, it is a teacher I respect."

Jiraiya looked at the high-spirited ape flying and slashed, and said to Xue Hui.

"Haha, I don't need a few of you little ones to comfort me, in my eyes, Konoha is indeed a good place, but I prefer the vortex village that gave birth to me and raised me. Moreover, I am confident that the Vortex Village will not be worse than Konoha in the future! ”

Xue Hui smiled proudly.

"Now that the ceremony has been watched, then I'll go first, you feel free, don't forget to take the time to congratulate your ape fei teacher!"

Xue Hui dropped this sentence and left.

"Hey, Orochimaru, why have you been absent-minded lately?"

Jiraiya gently touched the big snake pill without saying a word with his elbow.

"Zilai, don't bother me, I haven't come up with an answer to the question raised by Teacher Xuehui yet!"

Orochimaru was interrupted from his thoughts and glanced at Jiraiya.

"I said, Orochimaru, this is a big day for Mr. Sarufei, can you be a little more careful?"

Tsunade also said helplessly.

"You won't understand, the real strength of Teacher Xuehui is not in ninjutsu."

Orochimaru shook his head and replied in response.

Jiraiya and Tsunade looked at their teammates who had become a little stunned, and looked at each other.

The next day, Xue Hui found Ape Flying Sun.

Looking at the corners of the other party's mouth that was still smiling, Xue Hui smiled:

"Ri Chop, it looks like you're in a good mood, but it's a pity that I'm going to break your good mood!"

"Haha, I know your intentions, Xuehui, I'm afraid you can't wait for the negotiation with the country of the vortex!"

Ape Fei Ri didn't mean to be unhappy at all, and there was still room to tease Xue Hui in turn.

"Yes, I'm not used to such a leisurely day now, so it's better to go back to Vortex Village as soon as possible to live my busy life."

Xue Hui said.

"Okay then."

Ape Fei found a dark part and commanded:

"Call Tuan Zang and let him come to me."

"Yes!"

The shadows are activated and disappear instantly.

"What about Yan and Koharu?"

Xue Hui asked.

"They're on the side with the daimyo, and they'll be able to come over later."

"What is Tuanzang doing? Why can't you come yet?! ”

After waiting for a short time, Xue Hui and Ri Chop didn't speak, but on the other hand, Xiaochun began to complain.

"Then don't wait, Xuehui, what do you think?"

Seeing this, Hizashi proposed.

"Okay, you're the Hokage anyway, aren't you?"

Xue Hui smiled, and then said his plan.

"Between the help I and the Uzumaki clan provided to Konoha in the last ninja war, I would like to ask for a few points-"

"First, Konoha continues to sign an alliance agreement with Vortex Village to help each other."

"Second, the trade between the two sides is exempt from customs duties, and the merchants of Konoha should give priority to hiring the fleet of the Vortex Country when they go to sea."

"Third, Konoha needs to provide certain material assistance to the Vortex Village to help the construction and development of the Vortex Village."

"Fourth, the free movement of people between the two places must not be prevented, and the Vortex Village can regularly send people to Konoha to inspect and study."

"Fifth ......"

Xue Hui listed the contents one by one, representing the Japanese slash of Konoha They did not have an impatient look, quietly recording Xue Hui's request, and from time to time wrote something on it.

"Okay, we have a rough understanding of your needs, now it's up to you to listen to our requirements."

Ape Fei Ri picked up a piece of paper that was placed aside, and it seemed that he was not unprepared.

"Xuehui, we don't ask for much, because the country of Vortex doesn't have much that Konoha wants, and this time it needs us to pay for it."

"So, we just want you to provide some of the contents of the sealing technique and put it on the Book of Seals."

Ape Fei Sun Slash said to Xue Hui

"The Book of Seals?"

Xue Hui said curiously.

"This is a secret scroll based on the ninjutsu developed by Tsukima-sama and Kazuma-sensei."

Hizai replied.

"In addition, as you who have learned many forbidden techniques from Sensei Kazuma, we hope that you can complete some of them and write down your own experience."

Mito added.

"I see, that's fine, but as for sealing, I'll need to discuss it with Aunt Mito, and I'll ask you what type of seals you'd like to trade."

Xue Hui nodded in agreement.

The tacit understanding between the same door allowed the negotiations to proceed quickly, and the first stage of negotiations ended with the results of the two sides making preliminary demands on each other.

Next, there is the tug-of-war over the details.

However, the two parties, who already have a general understanding of the requirements of both sides, do not feel that there will be a big contradiction.

"Orochimaru? You're here to find Hizaki? ”

Yukiki, who walked out of the Hokage building, saw Orochimaru standing aside and said hello.

"No," Orochimaru shook his head, "I'm here for you, Yukihui-sensei." ”

"Me?"

Xue Hui pointed to himself, and then smiled: "Okay then, you and I come." ”

Xue Hui took Orochimaru to an uninhabited training ground.

"Say, there's no one here."

Xue Hui said.

"Teacher Xuehui, I know what to learn from you."

Orochimaru took a deep breath and made up his mind.

"Oh? Speak, I'll listen and reply. ”

Xue Hui clasped his hands to his chest and looked at Orochimaru curiously.

"I don't want to learn any ninjutsu, or rather, I want to learn everything, but compared to ninjutsu, I want to learn what interests me more, your knowledge about the principles of the world."

Orochimaru plucked up his courage and said.
