Started as a Hokage

Gen Shuyi's return coincided with the day when Sarutobi Hiruzen opened a high-level meeting. He didn't have time to go back and clean up, so he walked into the Hokage conference room wearing plain clothes.

I looked around at the people in the meeting. There were more people this time than last time.

Because this time not only substantial high-level officials of Konoha, but also many heads of medium and large ninja clans came.

Genshu Yi noticed that all the other elders among the people who came this time were present, but Danzo was missing.

Was he imprisoned by Hiruzen Sarutobi, or was there an accident?

Regardless of Danzo's fate, Gen Shuyi felt a sense of relief.

Without one person looking at him with sinister eyes all the time, Gen Shuyi felt that the entire sky in Konoha was brighter.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting at the head table smoking a cigarette. He was slightly startled when he saw Genshu Yi coming to the meeting in casual clothes. He stayed for a while, then turned his head and continued smoking.

Next to him, Koharu, who was sleeping next to him, had a cold look on his face and wanted to say something, but Mito Kadoyan grabbed him and sat back down in his seat in a depressed manner.

Yuan Shuyi looked at the expressions of these people with interest, and relaxed his squeezing hands.

At this time, Uchiha Fugaku also walked in, causing everyone to be surprised.

You must know that the Uchiha family has never attended any meetings before, and no one would specially invite them. Everyone, including Uchiha, consciously distinguishes Uchiha from the village.

Everyone was already familiar with the way the village and Uchiha got along, so they were so surprised to see Uchiha Fugaku taking the initiative to attend a high-level meeting at this time.

In the original book, Uchiha Fugaku did participate in a high-level meeting, which was the time after the Nine-Tails Rebellion when Konoha's top management dumped the blame on the Uchiha family and ordered them to move out of the village.

That time, Konoha's top management had already decided on the person who would take the blame and the punishment measures. Rather than asking Fugaku to come over for a meeting, it would be better to notify Fugaku and let him take over the blame steadily.

This time it was obviously different. Fugaku's old face was filled with pride, and he could even show a provocative smile when facing Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Fugaku certainly had his reasons.

At that time, Danzo was dead (Fugaku did not know that Danzo was not dead). The Uchiha family found a new way to gain a large number of orders in the Land of Fire. It was foreseeable that the Uchiha family would become prosperous and powerful again.

If I don't come here and show off in front of everyone, can I still be called a member of the Uchiha family?

Especially when facing the old rival of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha not only embarrassed his Sarutobi family in Daming Mansion, but also killed Sarutobi Hiruzen's capable subordinates a few days ago, which can be said to be a comprehensive victory.

You have to show off in front of your old rival quickly and see his depressed face.

However, Fugaku clearly underestimated Sarutobi Hiruzen's determination. He just glanced at Fugaku indifferently and did not take the patriarch of the Uchiha family seriously at all.

The conference room slowly filled up with people. When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that almost everyone was here, he coughed and started the meeting.

"First of all, regarding Orochimaru's defection, the Fire Nation has issued a reward order to inform the world." Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a stack of posters and handed them to everyone.

When everyone took it into their hands and looked at it, everyone exclaimed.

Not only because Orochimaru's bounty is ridiculously high, but also because Orochimaru's rank among rebel ninjas is S-level.

Don't look at the S-level rebellious ninjas in Shippuden, they seem to be very ordinary.

In fact, from the time when Senju Hashirama opened the ninja village to the present, there are almost no S-level rebellious ninjas, but they can also be regarded as extremely rare.

First of all, to be an S-level rebel, you must have S-level strength.

What is the strength of S-class?

It is what everyone usually calls a shadow-level powerhouse or a level that is infinitely close to a shadow-level powerhouse.

Secondly, there needs to be enough crimes that even S-class ninjas cannot afford.

At the same time, he has to successfully escape after facing the pursuit of S-class ninjas.

This series of operations can be called an S-level rebellious ninja.

The only S-class rebellious ninja who can be named in the entire ninja world right now, apart from Orochimaru, is Kakuzu.

The latter was brave enough to save his life even if he tried to assassinate Senju Hashirama. No matter how high he was rated, it would not be exaggerated.

The former was charged with stealing the Sealed Book, which made all the high-ranking officials in Konoha look a little weird.

Although the sealed book has a special status in Konoha, it is also a forbidden book that is explicitly prohibited.

But in fact, it is not really a crime to say that peeking at it is not serious. After all, this book has been taken out many times and shared with some meritorious people during the previous wars.

Namikaze Minato learned the Flying Thunder God Technique from the Book of Sealing.

As for Konoha's substantive high-level leader Orochimaru, although it is impossible for him to see the Sealed Book all the time, if he asks to read it, Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely not be stingy.

What's more, as the leader of World War II and World War II, Orochimaru himself has read the Sealed Book several times. For him, the Sealed Book does not have many secrets.

Not to mention the crime of stealing the Sealed Book, it was completely impossible for Orochimaru to be charged with treason.

Everyone looked at each other, knowing that there must be other secrets, but no one had the intention to speak, so as not to offend Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Orochimaru was previously nominated as a candidate for the Fifth Hokage. Since he has defected, he is naturally not suitable to be a candidate..."

After going to bed, Koharu stood up and said bluntly: "Not only Orochimaru, but also Jiraiya temporarily left the village because of tracking Orochimaru's traces. Advisor Danzo also went out temporarily because of an important mission. None of the three candidates were able to If you come back to run for election within the stipulated time, I think the election of the Fifth Hokage should be postponed and the Third Hokage should temporarily take over the position of Hokage."

A hint of understanding flashed in Yuan Shuyi's eyes,

He asked why Sarutobi Hiruzen used Orochimaru to perform the surgery at the beginning. It turned out to be to attract others.

The abacus was pretty good, but the thinking was a little too simple.

I saw the clan leaders in the audience began to commotion, and several clan leaders were even more restless. Among them, a ninja clan clan leader from the Hokage line stood up directly, not facing Sarutobi Hiruzen but Genshu Yi, and asked: "I would like to ask, Sir, if the election of the Fifth Hokage is postponed, will the event continue?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Yuan Shuyi.

Genshu Yi faced these eyes and said calmly: "Since the election has been postponed, and the Third Hokage has to temporarily take over as Hokage, there is no need to continue holding it."

The commotion among these clan leaders became even greater. Many people turned their attention to the top clan clan leaders. The meaning was obvious, asking them to stand up and say a few words.

At this time Fugaku stood up.

"I don't think it's appropriate. The fifth generation election event has been spread throughout the Fire Country and even the entire ninja world through publicity. Many dignitaries and foreign residents came specially to watch the ceremony. Konoha also paid a lot for this event. It takes less effort. Once we stop delaying it at this time, I am afraid it will have an impact on Konoha's reputation."

The two elders looked at Fugaku in confusion. Such righteous words did not seem to come from your mouth.

Unexpectedly, after Fugaku finished speaking, a large number of clan leaders actually agreed. Even many clan leaders of the Hokage family put aside their grudges and stood by Fugaku.

The two elders were anxious, but they couldn't come forward. These people were the heads of the Ninja clan. It was hard to say whether they would give them this face.

He could only use his eyes to signal to Ino Lu Die and other clan leaders of the Hokage family, asking them to come forward and say a few words.

Unexpectedly, when Zhu Ludie and other clan leaders saw their eyes, they either lowered their heads and pretended to be deep in thought, or turned their heads and pretended not to see them. None of them showed up.

Gen Shuyi looked at this mess with amusement, and then looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's seemingly calm face, and he could feel Hiruzen Sarutobi's helplessness.

That's why Yuan Shuyi said they were too naive.

When there are some things that are followed by a group of people behind you, you can't just get off the bus if you want. People will push you forward.

Why did Minamoto Shuyoshi decide on the fifth generation election event early? First, he wanted to use this matter to frustrate Hiruzen Sarutobi and prevent him from coming forward to run for the election.

The second is to use this event to attract most of the wealthy people in Konoha.

Even though this event was organized by the Genji Group, it was impossible for him to eat everything.

There are many projects that the Genji Group outsources or even sells directly to these ninjas.

In this short period of one month, these ninjas who profited from the Genji Group have gained a lot of benefits, and this is only the preliminary stage. When the official election event begins, everyone will be able to gain Higher returns.

Even Genshu Yi, a ninja from the Hokage line, did not stand in the way and pulled them together to make a fortune.

Many ninjas were preparing to make a fortune from this unprecedented event, and they also spent a lot of money on it.

At this time, when you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, said that you wanted to stop the fifth generation election event, weren't you going to destroy your job?

In particular, some ninjas whose main business is gambling are not happy, because they haven't eaten much meat in the early stage yet, and they are waiting to make big money after the event starts.

Because they have to have enough cash flow, they have paid an extremely heavy price for this. It can be said that they have bet their wealth and life on this event. If they don't open it, won't they be forced to die?

It is worth mentioning that several people who jointly run gambling houses are ninjas from the Hokage family.

Therefore, these people were the most noisy, and several elders were directly criticized for being autistic.

When she went to bed, Xiaochun was so angry that the flesh on her face was trembling again. Seeing these familiar faces scolding her ferociously at this moment, she was also confused.

But this really can’t be blamed on these clan leaders.

They feel aggrieved. Your precious son Sarutobi Hiruzen lost their order in Daming Mansion, so they didn't say anything. Now you Sarutobi Hiruzen want to take away the last piece of industry that they rely on for survival. It will also be deprived.

Doesn't this mean they should die?

Even though I could still survive as a ninja, given the opportunity to make a lot of money, who would be willing to put their head in their belt and work hard as a coolie?

Don't talk about people like Sarutobi Hiruzen on this matter. Even if his biological father comes, don't expect these people to agree.

Mito Kadoyan frequently cast his eyes on the three clan leaders, Ino Shika Die, hoping that they would come out and say a few nice words, or at least not make things so tense and make others laugh.

Inokacho turned a deaf ear to it. To be honest, they were the biggest victims of the postponement of the Godaime event. They were bigger and invested more. Compared to the small fights of the ninja clan, they were more injured. A member of the moving bone.

At this time, not shouting along with me is already a big honor, so don’t even think about asking them to speak.

Believe it or not, if they dare to say a word, the leadership group of the Hokage family will be changed today.

In the end, 'other people' stood up.

"Everyone, please be patient. I think the Sandaime Hokage will give us a reasonable explanation."

Yuan Shuyi's words silenced everyone present, and the chaotic clan leaders seemed to have found their backbone. They nodded to Yuan Shuyi and slowly returned to their elegant clan leader posture.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at this suddenly quiet situation, not to mention how surprised he was.

Although he had known for a long time that Gen Shuyi had a high reputation among the clan leaders, and even the patriarchs of the Hokage line had a good relationship with Gen Shuyi.

But now that he saw that Yuan Shuyi could appease these clan leaders with just one sentence, he realized that he still underestimated Yuan Shuyi.

"Well, the proposal made by Advisor Yuan and the elder who has transferred to the dormitory is inappropriate. The event must continue, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the outside world."

"But Sandaime-sama, how can the event continue if this candidate is gone?"

One of the clan leaders asked with a frown.

Fugaku perked up and knew it was time for him to play.

"I propose Counselor Minamoto to be the candidate for this time. Counselor Minamoto has not only made outstanding contributions to the prosperity of Konoha, but he is also the chief advisor to the Fourth Generation. Extremely familiar, he is a perfect candidate."

After he said this, everyone was silent for a while, and then everyone nodded in agreement.

No one has any objection to Yuan Shuyi becoming a candidate. After all, Yuan Shuyi's activity in recent months has been visible to everyone.

Moreover, the reason why Konoha was able to emerge from the shadows and rebuild so quickly after the Nine-Tails Rebellion was indeed due to Minamoto Shugi.

Even though Minamoto Shugi's qualifications are a bit low and he has not participated in three battles, these problems cannot stop Minamoto Shugi's glory in Konoha in recent years.

In terms of strength, Minamoto Shuyoshi's ability to stop the Kyuubi by himself is enough to prove his great strength.

In terms of merit, the overall area of ​​Konoha has now doubled, and the living conditions of the villagers have been significantly improved. The welfare system of some ninjas, including the welfare system of civilians, has significantly improved the living standards of the entire village.

Who can say a word about such a person as a candidate?

"Of course Advisor Yuan is fine, but what about the other people?" asked a clan leader.

Everyone was silent for a while, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Hokage group, meaning it's time for someone on your side.

The Hokage family also fell silent. They wanted to think of someone, but now there are many old and young people in the Hokage family. Who can have such qualifications?

Jiraiya and Tsunade are suitable, but by the time they are caught from outside, the day lilies will probably be cold.

"Oh, then I should be shameless and join in." Sarutobi Hiruzen finally sighed and stood up.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen. They wanted to say something but couldn't.

say what?

Say Sarutobi Hiruzen is not qualified?

Just kidding, he is the Sandaime Hokage, who here is more qualified than him.

Just as a former Hokage, running for the fifth generation election, doesn't it, doesn't it feel a little... um... something doesn't feel right.

Everyone turned their attention to Yuan Shuyi.

Yuan Shuyi nodded calmly in agreement.

It was still very common in the original world for the previous leader to stand for election as the next leader.

Especially in Neon Country, the prototype of the Naruto world, the leadership team will always be the same few people in the end. A certain guy named Abe has been in office several times and stepped down several times, let alone the next one. Have stood for election.

Compared to him, Sarutobi Hiruzen was nothing.
