Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

"Are you a traitor from the Rain Village?"

Fuuka Hiroaki looked at Uchiha Yi with a slightly suspicious look.

"That's right. I don't want to discuss my identity any further. If you doubt my identity, I can leave immediately."

There was no expression on Uchiha Yi's face, and he seemed extremely calm.

Since he had already arrived in the Snow Country, his plan was to rest for a few days, and then start implementing his plan after his strength recovered.

That is to say, to cultivate a force that you control.

It is very inconvenient to be alone, and most of the time he needs some subordinates to help him with things.

"I understand."

Seeing Uchiha Yi so calm, Fuuka Hiroaki didn't ask any more questions.

The two parties quickly signed an employment contract, and Uchiha Yi became the guard of Fuuka Hiroaki's family. In addition to the monthly salary, Fuuka Hiroaki also generously gave Uchiha Yi a courtyard.

After finishing his work, Uchiha Yi rejected Fuuka Nobunao's invitation to drink and went directly to his own yard. After a simple cleanup, he closed his eyes and rested.

……

At the same time, Konoha was holding a general meeting of all high-level officials.

The conference room was packed with people, almost all of Konoha's elite jonin were present.

On the left hand side of the Third Hokage, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas who had not been seen for a long time, also attended the meeting.

It can be said that except for some Anbu and Root ninjas who were performing important missions outside or had special identities, almost everyone else was present.

The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen, who presided over the meeting, had a complicated expression. After briefly describing the situation in the ninja world, Sarutobi Hiruzen got to the point.

"Ahem, I'm already old. It's time for the village to consider the candidate for the Fourth Hokage. You are all the elites of Konoha. What do you think?"

As expected, the conference room fell into silence for a while.

In fact, everyone present already knew the topic of today's meeting, but since it involved the position of the next Hokage, everyone remained silent, waiting for others to speak out first.

The successor to the Fourth Hokage involves the change of power and also concerns the stance of the major families, so everyone seems to be very cautious.

"I propose that Orochimaru be the next Hokage. Orochimaru deserves this position in terms of both his qualifications and military achievements."

In the silence, Danzo tapped the table lightly and proposed the candidate he supported.

After Uchiha Yi's death, Danzo and Orochimaru re-established their alliance, and after knowing that he had no chance, Danzo decided to fully support Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's snake eyes glanced at Danzo.

His face was calm, and he seemed not to care about today's meeting at all.

Danzo and Orochimaru looked at each other and frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied: "What is Orochimaru doing? This is related to the position of Hokage, why does he look like he doesn't care at all."

According to common sense, Orochimaru should stand up and make a campaign speech at this time, but at this moment he just sat there quietly without saying a word.

The meeting room was still quiet.

The patriarchs of the major families with major voting rights did not express their opinions, and others did not dare to comment.

"I am more optimistic about Minato. It is time for the young people to lead the village. We, the older generation, should step down."

Advisory elder Mizutomon En suddenly made a direct statement.

"Yes, I support Minato too. We watched him grow up, and I trust him both in terms of his strength and his loyalty to the village."

Another elder, Utane Koharu, also spoke out in support of Namikaze Minato.

Seeing that the two senior elders had expressed their opinions, others also began to express their views.

"Minato is indeed suitable for the position of Hokage."

"There is absolutely no problem with his strength."

"Yes, I support Minato too."

Suddenly, the meeting room became noisy.

Most of the voices were in support of Minato Namikaze.

Minato sat quietly with a calm expression, constantly nodding slightly to those who supported him as a token of his gratitude.

On the other side, Orochimaru sat with his head slightly lowered, as if everything being discussed had nothing to do with him.

After a long silence, Orochimaru finally spoke, his voice still so gloomy.

"I also support Minato for the position of Hokage."

When these words were spoken, almost everyone present was stunned, and some did not believe what they heard.

"What? Orochimaru, you bastard, what are you talking about!"

Danzo's face changed and he stared at Orochimaru with anger.

"Haha, the position of Hokage no longer interests me."

Orochimaru showed a strange smile, "Well, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

He laughed easily.

It seems like something has been let go.

After saying that, Orochimaru left the meeting room without looking back.

"Orochimaru, you..."

Danzo's face turned extremely ugly and gloomy in an instant.

It is obvious that Minato Namikaze no longer has any rival for the position of the Fourth Hokage.

Looking at Orochimaru's departing back, a trace of guilt flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, but it was only fleeting.

"Okay, then let's vote on Namikaze Minato being the next Hokage. As long as there are more than two-thirds of the votes, it can be decided directly."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and raised his right hand first to express his choice.

Soon, almost everyone present raised their hands to show their support.

"It seems that everyone supports Minato, so in two days I will report Minato's succession to the Hokage to the Daimyo-sama."

"Thank you for your support, I will do my best..."

Minato Namikaze stood up, expressed his gratitude to everyone in the conference room and gave a brief speech.

Two days later.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire signed the Hokage succession document, and Minato Namikaze officially succeeded as the Fourth Hokage.

The vast majority of ninjas and villagers expressed their support for this result, and considering Minato's personal charm, it can be said that this was what everyone wanted.

Almost at the same time, news of Kushina's pregnancy also came. For a time, all the major families in Konoha Village sent congratulatory gifts to the new Hokage.

……

On the border of the Fire Nation, in a very hidden valley.

A huge amount of chakra is gradually gathering and will eventually dissipate completely.

Black Zetsu maintained his hand seal posture, he had just finished performing the sealing technique for the tailed beasts.

On the ground, Nohara Lin closed her eyes tightly, a look of pain on her face.

"what……"

Nohara Lin groaned in pain.

The pain came from the three-tailed Isobuki that was sealed into her body.

"This is the Tailed Beast... The Three-Tails... Have I become the Jinchūriki of the Tailed Beast?"

Realizing what had happened, Nohara Lin opened her eyes in pain and her face turned pale.

The humanoid monster-like guy in front of her sealed the Three-Tails into her body, making her the Three-Tails Jinchuriki!

why?

Why yourself?

What is his purpose?

Nohara Lin gritted her teeth, and panic appeared on her face.

Although she didn't know the other party's purpose in doing this, it was definitely not a good thing. They must be using her to do something that would harm the village.

Thinking of this, Nohara Lin felt almost despair.
