Fifth Generation Uchiha Legend

Konoha

Hokage Building

Jōnin conference room, Uchiha Naraku took a large number of Uchiha Jōnin to sit down. He looked at the Sarutobi clan Jōnin not far away.

After the Ninja War, Konoha Jōnin suffered many casualties, and the promotion requirements were relaxed a bit. However, Uchiha's Jōnin promotion was somewhat delayed, while the Sarutobi family's Jōnin promotion was very rapid. In the previous Jōnin meeting, Naraku counted Sarutobi Jōnin once, and there were twelve. A few years later, twenty Jōnin now sit together in Sarutobi.

"I, Uchiha, have planned to promote Jōnin. I will issue documents immediately. Did he, the Jōnin of the Sarutobi family, skip the process and directly mention it?"

Naraku counted the Jōnin of the Sarutobi family, and once again had a realization about Sarutobi Hiruzen's nonsense.

Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the Jōnin below take their seats and winked at Mitokado Homura next to him. Mitokado Homura understood and said:

"Thanks to your bravery and dedication, the dispute between Mist Shinobi and Sand Shinobi was settled. Without your dedication, there would be no peace in Konoha.

Today, the Rock Shinobi and Cloud Shinobi Villages in the northwest and northeast are still at war with Konoha. The death and injury data of the Konoha Shinobi followers are shocking and the casualties are heavy.

I am really sad about this. For the sake of peace, I have initiated peace negotiations with Iwagakure. Now we have some understanding with each other. I would like to hear your views and opinions from Jōnin. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the Jōnin below. There used to be more than 230 Jōnin registered, but now there are 170. Many of them are newcomers who were reluctantly promoted, and their strength is not as reliable as the senior Jōnin. I sighed slightly in my heart.

"We can't continue fighting. Two groups of my students have already died on the battlefield..."

"My relatives and sons were all killed in the Sand Shinobi battlefield..."

Hearing the topic initiated by Mitokado Homura, the Jōnin began to discuss in the audience, and the voices in the audience were a little noisy.

"It's really a matter of peace."

After hearing Mitokado Homura's words, Naraku understood.

Three of Konoha's four top leaders came. Konoha Jōnin suffered many casualties in the Ninja War, but he was promoted quickly.

The number of Jōnin here remains roughly at one hundred and seventy, or eighty Jōnin, and with some Jōnin in the northwest and northeast strongholds, it may be closer to two hundred and fifty.

There are fifty places for Uchiha Jōnin, but there are only thirty-seven here. Many Uchiha Jōnin places died on the battlefield, and Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to have some intention of delaying promotion.

Shimura Danzō, Hokage's assistant among the four senior leaders, has been busy with espionage and intelligence operations since the beginning of the Ninja War. He has been hiding underground and has not been seen for a long time.

"How can we negotiate for peace! My parents, wife, and children all died on the battlefield! Just negotiate for peace like this, my relatives! What is the meaning of their sacrifices!"

A Jōnin stood up, trembling all over, and roared angrily after hearing the many voices of peace talks nearby.

The Jōnin who were whispering and discussing in low voices stopped and looked at this Jōnin who had many scars on his face and some bandages on his body.

As this Jōnin finished speaking, more Konoha Jōnin stood up.

"We will never accept peace! We will make Rock Shinobi pay the price!"

"Why have we been passively defensive? Why don't we organize a team to attack the Kingdom of Earth!"

"We must let Rock Shinobi experience the same pain as us!"

"Lord Yan! I hope you will not discuss peace negotiations! You will never accept peace negotiations with Rock Shinobi!"

Those who started discussing the peace talks were all in the front row. It seemed that some ninjas were speaking out, trying to influence the Jōnin's thoughts.

The real Konoha civilians Jōnin or small family Jōnin, small power teams, stood up one after another, some with sad faces, some with sad expressions, and more with red eyes and roars.

In the Rock Shinobi battlefield, the team led by Uchiha Fugaku was unable to defeat more than 600 family ninjas. Needless to say, other ninja forces, the casualties would only be more severe...

The three senior executives listened to the words of the people in the audience and looked at their expressions, and they couldn't help but retreat in their hearts at this moment.

Mitokado Homura and Capture Utatane Koharu looked at the Third Hokage, Mitokado Homura's voice was just a mention of what Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a very uneasy mood at the moment. He held his pipe in his mouth, blew out a smoke ring, and glanced at Utatane Koharu.

Utatane Koharu and Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at each other, sighed inwardly and said softly:

"Jōnin, please don't get excited. We are just discussing a peace plan. Of course, the sacrifices of the ninjas will not be meaningless. The subsequent pensions will be paid in place. Please don't get excited."

There were only thirty or forty excited Jōnin, nearly a quarter of the body. There were many Jōnin who did not express their opinions, but they did not refute those who opposed the peace proposal.

"Lord Yan, Lord Koharu, you can decide on the peace negotiation, but how much compensation does Rock Shinobi have to pay for the peace?

In addition, my companion has died on the battlefield, but his family is starving.

The relief fund has not yet been distributed to his family. May I ask Mr. Hokage why the pension has not been distributed for a long time? "

A Jōnin stood up and said expressionlessly, as if he had no objection to the peace negotiation. But pensions and funds, he wanted to ask Hokage what the situation was.

"Tetsuto Jōnin, the village's finances are currently in some difficulties, but the pension will definitely be paid, I guarantee this."

The higher-ups remembered the names of all Konoha Jōnin, and after hearing this Jōnin's words, Utatane Koharu responded solemnly to reassure them.

After hearing Utatane Koharu's words, the Jōnin named Iron Sword no longer questioned and sat down.

The top management has controlled Konoha for a long time, and the Jōnin have doubts about Konoha's very strong dominance, but as long as the top management gives a plan, the Jōnin's opinions will usually be calmed.

Although the high-level people have limited moral integrity, they all maintain a supportive and open attitude towards Konoha's small and medium-sized ninja clan and civilian Jōnin.

The group formed by the civilian Jōnin and the small ninja clan has limited strength. As long as the demands of the small force are not too outrageous, they should be given more respect and support.

"Konoha can no longer fight. The villagers have sacrificed too much for the endurance war. If possible, I hope that peace and stability can be restored as soon as possible."

There were those who opposed the peace negotiation, and naturally there were those who supported the peace negotiation. One Jōnin was somewhat compassionate and stood up to support the peace negotiation.

"Don't let the sacrifices of your companions be worthless, let the children grow up normally!"

"If the state of war ends, I think this is the meaning of the sacrifice of our companions."

There was a Jōnin who strongly supported the peace proposal at the beginning, and many Jōnin who supported the peace proposal also came forward.

"No! No peace can be negotiated!"

"You cowards!"

"How can this be so!"

Opponents of the peace talks pointed at those who supported the peace talks and began to insult them, and a quarrel broke out in the conference room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief and made peace against everyone's wishes. Even the Third Generation did not want to be so arbitrary.

Even if the peace negotiation was for the sake of Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not dare to express his position too strongly. After hearing the statements of the Jōnin who supported the peace negotiation, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt confident and said solemnly:

"Konoha can no longer fight. The sacrifices of my companions are to protect the peace of Konoha. If there is a better way to maintain peace without bloodshed and sacrifice, as Hokage, I will definitely support it.

The negotiations with Iwagakure have come to fruition, and Rock Shinobi has agreed to negotiate peace with Konoha and return to normal diplomatic status. I agree with this.

It's my fault as a Hokage that Konoha has suffered such serious losses. I'm sorry. "

After Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and finished speaking, he bowed to the Jōnin in the audience and continued:

"If you want to hate, please hate me. The losses suffered by Konoha are all my fault. In view of this, I will take the blame and resign, abdicate in favor of others. It is up to everyone to elect the Fourth Hokage and continue to protect the village. "

The Third Hokage's original words made many Jōnin who opposed the peace negotiation feel dejected, and some even looked ferocious.

At this moment, with Third Hokage taking the blame and resigning, shouldering the blame, some of the original opponents burst into tears, some looked relieved, and some looked dull, but no one blamed Third Hokage.
