The God of Konoha is invincible

Chapter 141 On the Eve of the Election

On December 21st, the Konoha high-level meeting came again.

Konoha's high-level meeting is held every Friday, and it is the highest-level meeting of Konoha.

Usually on this day, the representatives of the major families, the leaders of various departments, and a few elite junin are very busy, while other junin can take advantage of this time to sneak around and fish.

But today is a bit different. All the jonin in the village are fully dressed, gathering or dispersing, and coming to Hokage Tower.

Naruto Office.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi arrived early.

He leaned back on the office chair, lit the pipe, sparks bloomed, and a cloud of dust and smoke floated up.

There are no pens and no papers on the desk, so he has no work.

The office is very quiet, as if time does not flow.

But time is absolute, fair, and flows forward forever and without interruption.

The smoke dispersed, and the office was gradually filled with the smell of tobacco leaves.

"Boom! Boom!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's drowsy eyes suddenly lit up!
"Master Hokage! Uchiha Shisui please see me!"

He couldn't help standing up, then quickly adjusted his mood, sat down, and straightened his body.

"Please come in!"

Shisui opened the door and entered Hokage's office, saw the slightly haggard Sarutobi Hiruzane, and bowed in salute.

"Lord Hokage!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi supported him, and then asked concerned: "How is it? Would Fu Yue nominate you as Hokage's assistant?"

Shishui shook his head.

Sarutobi Hiruzen comforted: "It's okay, I will nominate you then. Even if Uchiha doesn't support you, I will always support you."

Then there was a look of regret on his face, he shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, if Fuyue can support you, then you will be sure to become Hokage's assistant in this election!"

Seeing this, Zhishui was filled with gratitude, and said, "I'm sorry, I may have to let down Hokage-sama's kindness! I am not going to participate in the selection of Hokage's assistant."

"what?!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was astonished as if a thunder had exploded above his head, staring at Shisui in a daze.

Shisui just arrived in Konoha Village yesterday, even if Uchiha intends to elect Shisui, there is not enough time to reconvene the meeting and notify the vassal ninja.

Therefore, he didn't expect Shimizu to win Uchiha's votes in the first place.

The reason why he is planning to nominate Shisui in today's election of elders is that on the one hand, he shows goodwill to Uchiha, who has a heart for Konoha, and on the other hand, he wants to disperse Uchiha's votes.

He never expected that Zhishui would give up running for the Hokage assistant election!

Seeing this, Shisui apologized: "Thank you Hokage-sama for your kindness! I have no qualifications and lack of prestige now. If I become the assistant of Hokage, it may not only not improve the villagers' impression of us Uchiha, but will make them hate Uchiha even more."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi stared into Shisui's eyes and asked, "Do you know how rare this opportunity is?"

Shisui looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a firm gaze, and said in a serious tone: "Now that Konoha's situation is unstable, Hokage Assistant should play a role in stabilizing people's hearts. For Konoha, Shisui has to live up to your kindness!"

Looking at Shisui's thick eyebrows and big eyes, and listening to his righteous words, Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who claimed to be the successor of the "Will of Fire", fell silent.

Taking the overall situation into consideration and wronging oneself, isn't this the best performance of "Will of Fire"?
After a long time, Hiruzaru Sarutobi finally let out a sigh.

He walked up to Shisui, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I've wronged you! Who did Uchiha nominate?"

Zhishui was silent when he heard the words, he promised Qingkong not to leak the secret.

The office suddenly fell silent.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was furious that Shisui betrayed him!

However, he has a city in his heart after all, and Zhishui is of great use to him.

Therefore, he took the initiative to ease the embarrassment: "It's okay, this is Uchiha's secret! I can understand you!"

After finishing speaking, he sighed: "Hey, you Uchihas are still separated from the village!"

Zhishui quickly said: "I'm sorry, but..."

"It's okay!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi waved his hand, "You are you, and Uchiha is Uchiha."

Shisui breathed a sigh of relief, Hokage-sama still trusted him.

After Shishui finished talking about his decision, he was about to leave, "Master Hokage, if there is nothing else, I won't bother you!"

"Hold on!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi pondered for a moment, and said: "Shimizu, you are a very good ninja! Although you can't be my assistant, I still can't bear the fact that you continue to waste time on those ordinary tasks."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi paused, and sincerely invited: "Are you... willing to join the Shadow Guard?"

Hearing this, Zhishui was stunned for a long time.

After recovering, Zhishui immediately nodded excitedly and said, "Of course!"

The Shadow Guard is Hokage's elite guards, whose members are all personally selected by each Hokage to protect the safety of Hokage, and at the same time perform the most dangerous tasks, such as arresting S-level traitors.

Because the Shadow Guard often protects Hokage closely, the Shadow Guard is usually considered to be the real direct line of Hokage. In many cases, being able to join the Shadow Guard itself represents the importance and trust of Hokage.

In addition, the Shadow Guard is also a potential backup candidate for Konoha's top management.You know, all the high-level members of Konoha are members of the second-generation shadow guards.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction seeing Shisui's excited look.

Then he clapped his hands.

A ninja who was on standby in secret appeared in the office in an instant, knelt down on one knee and waited for the order.

"Shinnosuke, take Shisui to go through the formalities and training!"

The ninja with the dog face mask nodded without saying much, then gestured to Shisui with his eyes, and left the office instantly.

Zhishui immediately followed and disappeared into the office.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi started smoking again with his pipe in his mouth, his expression cloudy and uncertain.

After a while, Mito Monyan pushed the door open and entered.

"Sun Cut!"

He smiled and said, "Get ready, the election is about to begin!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi said expressionlessly, "Shisui Uchiha gives up his candidacy!"

Mito Menyan's face changed drastically, "How is it possible? He would give up his position as an elder?"

He couldn't imagine that someone could give up the position of elder who was close at hand.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly: "He said that Assistant Hokage should play a role in stabilizing people's hearts, but his qualifications and prestige are not enough now."

"It's all an excuse!" Mitomon Yan said, "Who is Uchiha going to choose?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "He didn't say that!"

Mitomon said in a cold voice: "Uchiha are all unfamiliar wolves, I thought Shisui and Fuyue were exceptions. Now it seems that we were all wrong!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi responded silently.

Mitomonyan finished venting, and then asked: "Then what about the election of the elders now? Isn't there a chance for Uchiha to concentrate his strength?"

"It's just a quota, Uchiha just has a chance!"

After finishing speaking, Hiruzaru Sarutobi added: "Even if Uchiha wins the election, it is not necessarily a bad thing."

Mitomon Yan nodded, a successful election would surely offend Hinata and other ninjas.
