Naruto Sakaki

Chapter 268 Interest Exchange
Sakaki entered the meeting room, sat in his usual position, checked his surroundings habitually, and then was slightly taken aback.

Today is a bit unusual, there is one more person, and it occupies the first place. Normally, this is Sarutobi's position, and Sarutobi can only take the second place in front of this person.

Sakaki looked at the other party with great interest. There was an unfolded folding fan stuck behind the head of the other party. His face was extremely pale and his body was slumped. He was an uncle.

Looking at the rather dignified attire on the opposite side, Sakaki guessed that the other party should be the daimyo of the country of fire, and only daimyos are eligible to surpass Sarutobi in Konoha Village to sit at the top.

"My lord is very concerned about the events that have happened in Konoha in recent days. Konoha's uneasiness will also make the Kingdom of Fire uneasy. I hope Konoha can calm down the situation as soon as possible!"

The daimyo's voice was a little thin, like a eunuch, without any imposing manner, but Sarutobi, who answered on behalf of the Konoha senior officials, still seemed quite respectful. He first expressed his apology for what happened in recent days, and then promised to calm down Konoha as soon as possible. Chaotic situation!
The daimyo nodded in satisfaction and got to the point.

"That's good! Konoha can't be left alone for a day. Without Hokage to preside over the work, Konoha must not be able to settle down! Since you will never make a new Hokage, why don't I recommend someone, the third generation next to me, What do you think?"

"Thank you for your support, sir."

Sarutobi was not polite, not even pretending to give in, this is an attitude, labor and management must be Hokage!
Seeing this, of course many high-level executives expressed their support without saying anything!
Danzo's face changed, unexpectedly, Sarutobi brought out the decisive card of the daimyo. If Sarutobi had the upper hand in a meeting where no daimyo was present, he still had a chance to come back, but if it was in front of the daimyo , Sarutobi has the upper hand, and then the daimyo will personally confirm the ownership of Hokage, then the matter will be finalized and there will be no turning point.

"Sarutobi is suspected of covering up Orochimaru, and he is also the teacher of this Konoha criminal. The people of Konoha have been greatly hurt because of this. If Sarutobi is allowed to serve as Hokage again, public opinion will not support it."

Danzo said anxiously, Sarutobi's expression was flat, and he didn't refute at all, but Daimyo obviously stood by Sarutobi's side, and took the initiative to explain it.

"This is not the same as the public opinion I observed. I heard that most people support the third generation! Besides, if there is a problem with the apprentice, the teacher has to bear some responsibility, but there is no need to beat him to death with a stick. Besides, although the third generation has bad apprentices, they can still There are more good apprentices, the other two of the legendary three ninjas, even this master has a thunderous reputation for them!"

"Even so, since the third generation has resigned as Hokage, how can he come out of the mountain again, how does this make people think of us Konoha?"

"I, Sarutobi, came out this time not because I was greedy for power and position. It's just that Konoha is in a state of chaos and talent is scarce. I want to make some contributions to Konoha with an old bone. I will take the position of Hokage temporarily and wait until I am suitable to be Hokage With the appearance of my younger generation, I can abdicate to the virtuous, and enjoy retirement completely!"

Sarutobi said the word 'junior' emphatically, which made Danzo's teeth itch with anger, and daimyo added another knife.

"The lord thinks that what Sandaimu said is very reasonable. He is also an old face. The lord has personally witnessed that he led Konoha to a prosperous development. With him as the leader, the lord can rest assured!

This...well, Elder Danzo, right? You are also an old face, and Konoha's development is also due to you. You and the third generation are a great partner. If you continue to work together, after a hundred years, you will also be the same What a good story! "

Danzo almost vomited blood, what a good story?The so-called partner is to be inferior to Sarutobi all his life, which is undoubtedly his greatest shame!

Sakaki watched the play with great interest, first watching the big play where Danzo was uncomfortable vomiting blood, and secondly watching the big play where Sarutobi showed his true colors.

Power and status are indeed the best touchstone. In front of it, even Sarutobi, who always looks kind and kind, like a good old man, has shown his true colors, without any excuses on his face. He wants to be Hokage so anxiously. What a joke!
But it is not so easy for Sakaki to watch the show with peace of mind. Someone suddenly spoke up and pulled him into the battle group!
"Thirdaime, you have worked so hard for Konoha for so many years, and finally got the chance to retire, how can we let you work hard again!

If it is said that Konoha's talent is weak, and no one is suitable to take over Hokage, this is also true, but have we forgotten one person?He has already been recognized by all of us, and has already become the fourth generation of Hokage..."

Sakaki looked at the speaker, he was quite old and bald, but he didn't recognize him at all.

Could it be that this is a fan of Namikaze Minato?If there are enough iron fans, maybe he will continue to serve as Hokage, which is quite interesting!

As Sakaki thought about it, he immediately heard someone speak out in support, but why did this voice sound so annoying?

"It's very reasonable! After all, the fourth generation is the real Hokage, but because of a little accident, he temporarily resigned from the position of Hokage. Now his power has recovered, and I think it is very appropriate to return to the position of Hokage!"

It was Danzo who said this.

When Sakaki saw that Danzo had just finished speaking, he and the bald-haired elder looked at each other tacitly. Obviously, they were in the same group.

It seems that they are not hard-core fans, nor are they purely black fans. We must speculate on their thoughts with the greatest malice, especially the thoughts of Lao Yin B.

Of course Danzo would not want to support Sakaki, but he sees the situation very clearly now. He cannot stop Sarutobi from taking the top position, and only by relying on Sakaki's fourth-generation status can he counter Sarutobi and muddy the water .

Sakaki: Hmph, old Yin B wants to use me to achieve his goals!Cut, am I going to be fooled?
"The owner believes that the third generation has rich experience and is the best candidate to solve Konoha's current crisis. As for the fourth generation, after all, he is young and not experienced enough, and..."

Daimyo stood by Sarutobi's side, belittling 'Namikaze Minato' very hard, which is equivalent to belittling Sakaki who bears this identity. He was very upset, staring at Daimyo, thinking that if he killed the highest-ranking daimyo in the Hokage world, What are the consequences?
Daimyo seemed to feel the danger of Sakaki, his voice became weaker and weaker, and the belittling words that kept blurting out finally got stuck.

Sarutobi coughed, opened his mouth, and went straight to the core: "Minato, what do you think?"

Everyone also looked at Sakaki, especially Danzo, who was so nervous that he secretly clenched his fists under the round table, sweating coldly.

Sakaki's decision is too important. If Sakaki doesn't argue, Sarutobi will be able to become the recognized Hokage very smoothly, but if it's the other way around...

Seeing Sarutobi's benevolent expression, Sakaki showed a smile, and without thinking about it, he gave a righteous sentence.

"It is my duty to contribute to Konoha, and I am willing to serve Konoha!"

Pretend to be fooled, let Danzo be proud for a while!
……

"...Hahaha, you haven't seen Sarutobi's last expression, that kind look can't be maintained anymore, it's so funny! And Danzo wants to use me, but I guarantee that this guy won't be able to be him for the rest of his life Going to Hokage is even more ridiculous!"

Sakaki returned home and shared with Jiu Xinnai what happened at the meeting. At the end, he laughed happily.

"Don't laugh...don't laugh!!!"

Jiu Xinnai relied on his amazing lung capacity to stop Sakaki from laughing, and then quickly grasped the key point and questioned.

"How can you get involved in something like this?"

"Why not? Since Danzo wants to support me, why don't I push the boat along?"

Jiu Xinnai said anxiously: "Do you know that you will drag Naruto into the center of the storm again if you act recklessly like this!"

"Could it be that the enemy let Naruto go because of your concession?"

Sakaki's face was full of disdain, and her words pierced Jiu Xinnai's heart like a sharp sword, she said in a low voice.

"Well... you have credit too... But doing that will really drag Naruto into a storm, I just want Naruto to be safe!"

"If you seek peace through struggle, you will live peacefully; if you seek peace through compromise, you will perish peacefully! If you back down, those people will see your weakness, so they will make progress, just like those previous encounters.

That being the case, why not try a tougher approach? "

Yeah, why not?In the name of protecting Naruto!Jiu Xinnai was stunned, showing some signs of being badly taught.

After a long time, Jiu Xinnai asked with difficulty: "Sakaki, do you really want to be Hokage?"

Sakaki shrugged and didn't answer, but just let out a trademark smile.

……

The inner room of Hokage's office building.

There are portraits of Hokage from past generations hanging here, and the owners of two of the four portraits today met here!

Sarutobi sat cross-legged on the ground, and Sakaki also sat cross-legged on the ground, facing each other, there was no difference in status!

Yuan Fei looked at the familiar but strange man in front of him, and smiled wryly in his heart.

Yesterday, he did not hesitate to invite his daimyo, and even unceremoniously revealed that he wanted to be Hokage, willing to be misunderstood as a person who is greedy for power and position. In fact, he was thought so by Sakaki.

However, everything Sarutobi did was for Konoha. He didn't want Konoha to continue to be in chaos. He hoped that he would be the Hokage again, and he would quickly solve all the chaos and restore Konoha to peace and harmony.

However, all of this was destroyed by the man in front of him.

If the man in front of him is the real Namikaze Minato, then he will never be greedy for power and position, and he will give everything to the other party with great peace of mind, and then he can continue to enjoy a peaceful and leisurely retirement life without worrying about breaking his heart every day.

However, the man in front of him is really not like Namikaze Minato, apart from the appearance, is it really just caused by amnesia?

Sarutobi suppressed the idea of ​​wanting to expose it on the spot. After all, he has no real evidence, and Konoha is now in a troubled time, so he should stay calm. After he resumes his role as Hokage, he will pursue the truth, and then solve all the problems. Get rid of.

For Konoha, he can become the first Hokage to retire voluntarily in the history of Konoha.

Also for Konoha, he can also become the first Hokage in the history of Konoha who chooses to come out of the mountain again!
He Sarutobi, this time he will become Hokage no matter what!
"Minato, you have lost your memory after all, and it's inconvenient to start working on Hokage. Why don't you talk about it after you recover your memory?"

Want to send someone away with just one sentence?
Sakaki smiled and said nothing, Sarutobi frowned slightly.

"Minato, I believe you have a dedicated heart for Konoha, but things in Naruto are too complicated. At this stage, you are still in a relatively simple position. Being more familiar with things that are familiar with Konoha and accumulating experience will also help you recover your memory as soon as possible. , then you will be Hokage again, and it will be a matter of course!"

Sakaki raised his eyebrows, hearing Sarutobi's words vaguely revealed that there seemed to be an exchange of interests!

Sakaki spit out two words playfully: "For example?"

"Minato, you can temporarily serve as Hokage's assistant! In this way, you can accumulate useful experience and prepare for the future as Hokage. If someone guides you, there will be no problems that you can't deal with now that you have lost relevant experience. besides……"

Sarutobi Barabara talked about the advantages, but what he thought in his heart was that whether Hokage's assistant has power or not, it all depends on Hokage, that is, him, and in this way, he can also put the other party under his nose, what? Even the wind and waves can't even think about digging out!

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what Sarutobi said or thought, Sakaki only has seven words to offer.

"I want to be Minister Anbu!"
