Naruto: Say no to pink eye disease, start with me

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage's feeling had gone from being dissatisfied to being quite satisfied.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Orochimaru who had remained silent. His favorite disciple made eye contact with him and then immediately looked away, nodding at him imperceptibly. This undoubtedly confirmed his guess: He will still be his disciple no matter how long he lives, and he will really share my worries.

After finishing the cigarette in his pipe, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe and knocked it on the table to stop the quarrel between Xuanwu and Danzo, "Okay, both of you sit back."

Upon hearing this, both of them sat down again, but they were still competing with each other with their eyes, as if they wanted to kill each other with their eyes.

Danzo was so angry. No matter how he slandered and plotted against Xuanwu in the past, the latter would just keep silent. But now, he openly opposed him. What was even more infuriating was that he couldn't even win the argument with Xuanwu!

Danzo: You little bastard, I will kill you sooner or later!

Xuanwu: Old bastard, there is no need for sooner or later!

The Third Hokage refilled his pipe, lit it, and took a puff. It was delicious.

"Regarding the conflict between the little Xuanwu and the twelve guardian ninjas, Shikaku, you and Haiyi will be responsible for investigating this matter in detail. Also, focus on interrogating Beiruo for information."

At the age of seventeen, the current head of the Nara clan has already shown that he is as smart as Shikaku back then. Nara Shikaku immediately stood up and said, "Hi, Hokage-sama, I will investigate thoroughly and will not miss any details."

Danzo wanted to speak but was beaten to it by Shikaku.

Yamanaka Inoichi, who was the same age as him, also stood up and nodded in agreement.

The current head of the Akimichi clan, Akimichi Choza, also stood up and said, "Hokage-sama, um, I also want to join the investigation."

The Third Hokage smiled and shook his head. How could he not know about Choza's little thoughts?

Shikaku answered for the Third Hokage in a businesslike manner, "Chouza, Genbu-nii is a member of the Akimichi clan, you should avoid suspicion."

"But, but."

Ding Zuo wanted to say that he wanted to participate because Brother Xuanwu was his own man, so who cares what others say.

Haiyi winked at him obliquely. This was a secret code between the three of them. Dingzuo understood it immediately. Yes, the Pig, Deer and Butterfly are a trinity. What's the difference between them?

After figuring it out, he sat down again happily.

Danzo, who was interrupted by Shikaku, wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sarutobi Hiruzen with a look.

"Next, let me announce the second thing, which is the title of Thousand Hands Immortal Grass."

Hearing this, everyone perked up. This was too important. The Fire Clan had been wiped out. If the Thousand-Handed Immortal Grass was abolished, each family would have hope of pushing their own people up. Although the chances were slim, what if they succeeded?

The Third Hokage saw everyone's reactions, but he was afraid he would disappoint everyone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's slightly aged but unquestionable voice sounded, "The previous daimyo has already abdicated in front of all the ministers. If we abolish the Senju Herb at this time, other major countries will think that we change our orders every day and treat the position of daimyo as a joke. If this gets out, it will have a bad impact.

So, let's leave it like this for now. The title of Thousand Hands Immortal Grass is legitimate, and his Golden Book of Enthronement and the Imperial Edict of Abdication shall be sent to the Fire Temple for worship immediately."

Look, what he said is not that he doesn't want to change, but it's already like this, so let's just make the best of it.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The people sitting below had different expressions, some didn't care, some were ecstatic, and some were as sad as if they had lost their parents. It was truly a mixture of joy and sorrow.

The ones who were happy were of course Xuanwu, Orochimaru and their close families.

As for the one who is worried, it is of course our pot shadow, Danzo.

He stood up and slammed his left hand on the table. "Huruzen, I disagree. Your decision is too hasty. How can such an important position as the Fire Country Daimyo be given to a child like Xuanwu? You should..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him coldly, "Then what do you say should be done?"

"Of course, of course..."

Danzo wanted to say, of course the person I recommend should be elected, so that I can control the economic lifeline of the Land of Fire, but when the words came to his lips, he reacted and changed his words: "Of course we should jointly recommend someone that everyone is satisfied with!"

Danzo breathed a sigh of relief: Phew, that was a close call, I almost said what was in my heart in such a hurry.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself: Don't think I don't know what you, old dog, are planning.

He followed Danzo's words and said, "In that case, everyone present here, please raise your hands and vote. Those who oppose Senju Senso becoming the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, raise your hands."

Danzo was the first to raise his hand in opposition, then looked at the others and took the opportunity to secretly wink at Uchiha Setsuna.

What a pity! Shanta closed his eyes tightly and pretended not to see it, which almost made Guoying angry to death.

In the end, only he and a civilian ninja raised their hands.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied with the result. "Now, raise your hands if you agree that Senju Sensou should be the daimyo. Xuanwu, Orochimaru, you two are the instigators of the incident and cannot participate in the vote."

No one raised their hand for a moment.

It seemed that Koharu Utane didn't hear it and continued to rest with her eyes closed.

Akimichi Choza wanted to raise his hand immediately, but was held back by Shikaku and Haiyi who were sitting on both sides.

The other family heads were also whispering to each other.

After pressing the Dingzuo, Shikaku made eye contact with the Third Hokage and asked him questions. Sarutobi Hiruzen was even more satisfied. This little Shikaku was very much to his liking. He made a gesture to Shikaku that only the four families could understand, and Shikaku understood.

Xuanwu kicked Jiraiya, who had been listless and drowsy since arriving here, and whispered, "You pervert, hurry up and take the lead to support me and Orochimaru!"

Jiraiya struggled to open his eyes with heavy dark circles under them, "Ah, what did you say?"

Damn it, this idiot hasn’t listened to a word since the meeting started!

Xuanwu was so angry that his teeth were itching. This man with kidney deficiency failed at the critical moment!

He threatened: "Raise your hands to support me quickly, or I will cut off your aphrodisiac pills!"

Jiraiya was now in high spirits, and immediately raised his hand and shouted, "I agree!"

His shout of "Ah~" scared everyone.

Shikaku then raised his hand as well, "I agree."

Next are Akimichi Chouza, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

As soon as these four families raised their hands, everyone knew the Hokage's true attitude. The Hyuga, Aburame, Inuzuka and other families raised their hands one after another. Even the Uchiha clan leader Uchiha Setsuna and the half-crippled Utane Koharu raised their hands.

Finally, everyone sitting at the conference table, except the Third Hokage, Genbu, Orochimaru, Danzo and the supporting civilian ninja, raised their hands to show their agreement.

Danzo's face was terribly gloomy, and his cane suffered another unexpected disaster and was crushed to pieces by him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen forced an ugly smile on his old face, "Oh haha, it seems that Senju Senso's succession is what everyone wants. Now I officially declare that from today on, Senju Senso is the Daimyoji of our Land of Fire."

Danzo stood up again and yelled, "Hiruzen, I don't agree!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't indulge him anymore, and the declining ninja spirit exploded, "Shut up, Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Even though Danzo was extremely indignant, he could do nothing about it. Because Sarutobi Hiruzen was the Hokage.

He turned and walked out of the council hall. When he was almost at the door, he said his own classic line, "Hiruzen, you will regret this."
