The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Chapter 400 Suppression
"The second thing is about the representative sent by the village to the Iron Country..."

Before Hanzo finished speaking, Uchiha Kazuya's eyes lit up.

You know, in today's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, inside Konoha is a clay puppet.

In addition to being responsible for some etiquette aspects of ushering and sending off, other aspects are completely out of hand.

The interrogation room of the real power agency under the department has its own system, and in the diplomatic work, many things need to be handled by Hokage personally, and the foreign ministry's right to speak is also very limited.

Because of this, so far, Uchiha Kazu can be regarded as the "leisure" elder, and even the department has not many people.

However, once the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can take over the daily work of the Five Kages Conference into its own hands, the situation will be quite different.

If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs masters the work of the Five Kages Conference, then in the future, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have a great say in the exchange of interests between Konoha and the younger brothers, including other Dainin villages.

In the future, the position of the elder in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, even if it cannot be compared with that of the mission department, will definitely not become a clay puppet.

However, although there are many benefits, it is not so easy for Uchiha Kazuya to monopolize these benefits.

Although it is legitimate for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be in control of diplomatic affairs, there are still some people in the high-level ranks who have reasons to intervene in this aspect of affairs—that is, Konoha’s senior advisors.

It is impossible for Madara to disagree with Konoha's three elder advisors. Hashirama has never cared about these things, but Kurama Canglan is different.

The newly promoted elder advisor may not want to go one step further.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Advisory Elder, the authority was to assist Hokage in handling the large and small government affairs in the village.

In other words, everything can be plugged in.

Therefore, if an advisory elder is sent to take charge of the affairs of the Five Kages Assembly, even if the participation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still required, Kazuya Uchiha's power will be greatly reduced.

Who would dislike too much power in their hands?
"...The Five Kages Conference is related to diplomatic work for at least decades in the future, so I hope that an elder will be in charge of this matter. Do you have any suggestions?" Hanzo said with a flat face.

"Lord Hokage."

As soon as Hanzo's words fell, Uchiha Kazuya couldn't wait to speak out first: "Master Hokage, this matter is a diplomatic matter, so naturally the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should be responsible."

However, it was clear that some people did not quite agree with his idea.

I saw Kurama Canglan said calmly: "Elder Kazuya's words are a bit one-sided. The Five Kages Conference involves all aspects of the village. It is far from enough to cover all aspects of the village. In my opinion, it should be done by a It should be dealt with jointly by the elder advisors and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

After the two finished talking one after another, the atmosphere of the whole meeting became weird.

The three members of the Uchiha clan looked straight at Kurama Solan.

Uchiha Kazuya and Quanna were fine, but Kazuya's imposing manner pressing straight on Kurama Solan made her face a little pale.

Cold sweat gradually flowed down the pommel horse Canglan's skin.

Seeing that she was almost unable to hold on anymore, Hanzang couldn't help but sighed.

In a sense, Cang Lan, the pommel horse he carried into the upper echelon, was actually a member of the Shimada clan.

However, she jumped out at this time, but she didn't get along with Hanzo.

"Forget it, anyway, I didn't intend to let the Uchiha clan monopolize the affairs of the Five Kages Conference..." Hanzo thought to himself.

Even if his relationship with Madara has eased, it still cannot change the fact that the Uchiha clan conspired to seize power when Hanzo was not in the village.

From the perspective of the village, suppressing the Uchiha clan is still a strategy that must be implemented.

Including the mission department promised to the Senju Clan, Hanzo did not intend to break his promise, but on the surface, Quanna did not do anything that violated Konoha's law after all, so this will have to wait until the next election to fulfill the promise.

"Everyone."

Just when Kurama Canglan couldn't help but was about to bow his head, Hanzo's voice suddenly came over.

In the ears of Cang Lan on the pommel horse, this indifferent voice was like the sound of heaven, breaking Madara's imposing lock on her.

In the next second, she was panting heavily like a drowning person who had just been rescued from the water.

And Hanzo didn't seem to see her distressed appearance.

"Let her learn a little lesson, so as not to have any wrong thoughts..." Hanzo thought so in his heart, but continued to say: "Which elder advisor do you think is the most suitable to lead the Five Kages Conference together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?" business."

As soon as this remark came out, the hearts of the others suddenly moved.

What Hanzo meant was to acknowledge that an elder advisor and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be in charge together, and the faces of the three Uchiha clan members turned dark immediately.

But at this point, there is still room for things to change. After all, Madara is also the elder advisor. If Yuma takes this position, it will actually be the same for the Uchiha clan.

The three of them looked at each other indiscriminately and reached an agreement.

Madara said lightly, "Hanzo, I don't have much to do now, why don't you just let me..."

But this time, the pommel horse Canglan, who had regained her strength, was no longer afraid of Madara's power, and she was quite embarrassed by Madara's scare just now, and she was quite angry at this moment.

She retorted unceremoniously: "Elder Ban is the mainstay of the village, so we should focus on improving our strength. You might as well leave these complicated matters to me."

"you……"

Madara frowned, and even Sharingan appeared in her eyes.

Obviously, from Madara's point of view, Cang Lan, a pommel horse whose strength is far inferior to his own, has no right to bargain with him at all.

However, before Madara could speak again, Hashirama on the side laughed and smoothed things over.

"Okay, Madara, Elder Cang Lan is just talking about the matter, and you don't need to be so aggressive." Saying that, a pair of jet-black eyes also looked straight at Madara.

The atmosphere froze again for a while.

After a while, Madara finally lowered his head first, and saw his dark red Sharingan eyes gradually disappearing into the eye sockets.

And Hanzo also interjected at the right time: "Since this is the case, let's stick to the old rules and vote to decide. Those who think Madara is suitable to be in charge of the affairs of the Five Kages Conference raise their hands."

As expected, apart from the three members of the Uchiha clan, only Hashirama hesitated and slowly raised his hand.

But it's useless, let alone four votes to six votes, the final result is already doomed.

Taking a deep breath, Madara's expression was a bit ugly, and Hanzo said with a smile: "Then it's settled, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Elder Cang Lan will be in charge of the work of the Five Kages Conference together... General Kuniyamamoto has agreed that a representative of Konoha will be sent to the Iron Country within three days, and you should discuss and select the right candidate as soon as possible."

The matter has come to this point, even if the Uchiha clan is unwilling, it is useless, Uchiha Kazu can only stand up with Kurama Solan, and salute Hanzo: "Yes, Hokage-sama."
