Hokage: Nawaki Is Cold, Can You Revive It?
Chapter 116: Crushing Hiruzen, Adding A Shadow Robe
A month passed quickly, and as agreed, Uchiha Madara did it.
At first no one cared, it was just a small friction between the two ninja villages, but with the help of Uchiha Madara, the scale of the friction continued to expand until Cloud Shinobi declared a full-scale war with Iwagakure.
Cloud Shinobi Village, which retained sufficient strength in the Second Ninja World War, has long wanted to expand its territory by force. Uchiha Madara just added a fire to this explosive keg.
Soon, news of Cloud Shinobi's all-out battle with Rock Shinobi came back to Konoha.
Hokage Building, Conference Room.
Sarutobi Hiruzen held a Konoha high-level meeting, intending to formulate Konoha's next development policy with everyone based on the current situation in the ninja world.
Of course, this meeting was just a formality. In fact, it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who played a decisive role. It can also be said that he called everyone to watch him formulate policies.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes slowly swept across the venue, and on his left sat Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, Orochimaru, and Chiba, the four real power figures of Konoha.
On his right hand sit the heads of the seven great clans of Yamanaka, Nara, Akamichi, Inuzuka, Hyuga, Aburame, and Uchiha.
It is no exaggeration to say that the big ship Konoha is steered by them.
"Ahem, since everyone is here, let's start the meeting. Let me just say a few words first."
Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table with his bong, coughed twice, and started his long speech.
Half an hour later, Sarutobi Hiruzen paused unsatisfied, took a sip of tea, and directly gave his own conclusion without asking for other people's opinions.
"So I think that Konoha should stay out of the matter, temporarily close the business related to Lei and Turkey, and don't make a clear-cut statement, just sit back and watch the tigers fight."
After finishing speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a pipe leisurely, waiting for everyone to echo his point of view like in previous meetings.
But at this moment, a dissident voice sounded.
"Mr. Sarutobi, I don't agree with your point of view. With all due respect, don't you think this is a good opportunity to make money for Konoha?"
"oh?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression darkened immediately, he looked sideways at Orochimaru, and signaled him to shut up quickly with a dangerous look.
But Orochimaru looked around the crowd as if he didn't see Sarutobi Hiruzen's hint.
"I have already contacted the two villages of Mist Shinobi and Sand Shinobi. I think we should join forces with Cloud Shinobi to take down Iwagakure and share the benefits of Iwagakure."
"Enough, Orochimaru!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was furious, and slammed the table heavily, and the aura of the superior suddenly exploded, pressing on Orochimaru.
He felt that his authority had been seriously challenged!
"Master Third Generation, isn't the conference room a place where we can talk freely, Master Orochimaru just put forward his own opinion, why are you so angry?"
At this time, Chiba on the side spoke unhurriedly, forcing Sarutobi Hiruzen's momentum.
"You two... my disciples and grandchildren, you are really wonderful!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Orochimaru and Chiba with cold eyes, as if he understood something, he gnashed his teeth and praised them.
"I single-handedly promoted the two of you and entrusted you with important tasks, and you two ungrateful things are actually trying to unite against me?
Two idiots, thinking that openly attacking me at the meeting can shake my position? How stupid! "
Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Chiba's thoughts and thought coldly.
After this meeting, he will take back the power from these two ambitious things, maybe it's time to use the Minato kid.
"This is not my Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech hall, everyone can naturally express their opinions and be outspoken."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said lightly: "Since there are different opinions at the meeting, let's vote with a show of hands. People who agree with my point of view raise their hands."
Facing Chiba and Orochimaru's rebellious actions, Sarutobi Hiruzen has absolute confidence to suppress the two.
He has been in charge of Konoha for decades, how can two juniors who have no foundation be able to shake him in just a few months?
Swish!
But in the next moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile froze on his face with his sure victory.
The scene he expected to overwhelmingly pass his own resolution did not appear. In the huge conference room, only the chiefs of the Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans raised their hands.
And the patriarch of the Hyuga clan looked left and right, and after a moment of hesitation, he put down his raised hand again!
"You! You...!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were splitting as he glanced at everyone one by one. The people he caught either avoided looking at him or looked at him coldly, showing no respect for him.
"Koharu, Flame! Even you two...?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes turned around, came to the two old friends, and asked with disbelief.
He thought that Chiba and the two might bribe a few people, but he never expected that two old friends who had grown up with him would also betray him!
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura lowered their heads and remained silent, not knowing how to face Sarutobi Hiruzen's questioning.
Utatane Koharu's son is not a ninja and is doing some moderate business in the Land of Fire. Chiba directly assigned most of Konoha's procurement projects to her son with a wave of her hand.
Mito Menzuki has been idle at home since she was dismissed from her position, and was forgotten by Sarutobi Hiruzen. It was Chiba who re-activated her regardless of past suspicions and put her in an important position in charge of root medical care.
You know, the two of them have been with Sarutobi Hiruzen for decades, but Sarutobi Hiruzen took the power in his hands very seriously and never took the initiative to give them or their family any benefits.
It's different with Chiba, a young man, they followed Sarutobi Hiruzen for decades and gave them what Chiba gave them within a few months of power.
"Third Generation-sama, you are old, leave the future of Konoha to us."
Chiba smiled slightly, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who seemed to have aged decades in an instant, and said.
"You, I..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was trembling all over, his lips were trembling as he looked around, still holding on to some unrealistic illusions, but no one raised their hands, and the silence was deafening.
Following Sarutobi Hiruzen, they never failed in the battles they should have fought, but the benefits they should have obtained were never lost. They were all "given" to the defeated Ninja Village by Sarutobi Hiruzen's generosity.
Although they always "support" Hokage-sama's opinion, do they really think there is no dissatisfaction in their hearts?
It's just that there has never been a suitable candidate, a person who can compete with Sarutobi Hiruzen to unite them together, and now, this person has appeared.
Slap.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands trembled violently, and the bong in his hand fell to the ground. He stood up and pointed at the crowd angrily.
"Okay, okay, I'll see what you guys want to explain to the daimyo, I, Konoha, will soon be destroyed by your hands!"
"No, Lord Third Generation, the daimyo has already agreed."
Chiba shook his head, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a smile and said: "The daimyo also said that you are old. Maybe Konoha should consider changing to a Hokage. This is what Uncle Sakumo told me personally."
Boom!
As if struck by lightning, Sarutobi Hiruzen staggered and hit the chair behind him, and fell to the ground unsteadily.
"I...my Hokage position..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands and feet were cold, and his disciples and grandchildren suddenly showed their fangs to him and took away everything that belonged to him!
"Maybe Third Generation, no, maybe Third Generation is really old, maybe a younger Hokage would be nice."
Even the chiefs of the Inuzuka, Hyuga, and Aburame tribes who started to support Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but have this thought when they looked at the deeply hit Sarutobi Hiruzen and then at the high-spirited and confident Chiba.
Konoha, things are going to change.
"Sarutobi-sensei, you haven't been to the battlefield for a long time. This time I invite you to visit the Rock Shinobi battlefield in person. Maybe you can make a good name before abdicating."
Orochimaru glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was still sitting on the ground in a daze, and couldn't help shaking his head.
I think about how graceful Nushiro was when he was galloping on the battlefield. He carried the banner when Konoha was in internal and external troubles and made countless enemies frightened. But why is it like this now?
"Okay, let's continue the meeting. Let me tell you about my next arrangement for Konoha."
Chiba stood up, strode past Sarutobi Hiruzen, sat on the main seat, looked around the crowd with a smile.
"Everyone, do you have any objections?"
"No, brother Chiba, let's start quickly, we can't wait!"
Uchiha Fugaku urged frantically, he and the Uchiha clan behind him can't wait to follow Chiba into a new era!
"No."
"Please begin."
Looking at Chiba who was sitting on the main seat calmly and berating Fang Qiu, Orochimaru's eyes showed a strange look.
"Ah, Chiba-kun like this is worthy of me, Konoha."
In fact, Orochimaru had long seen that Konoha was gradually declining under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiruzen. He even thought that he might as well provoke a war against Konoha himself, a Konoha collapse plan to reshape Konoha. .
But now it seems that there is no need, because Konoha is about to usher in a new Hokage.
