Uchiha's opinion

"This is a conspiracy!"

Nara chief said so.

"This is a vicious conspiracy to drag us into a quagmire of flesh and blood!"

Nara patriarch added and emphasized again.

When Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Tokumitsu jointly sent the distribution plan of Yunyin's war compensation and the disposal plan of the Thunder Country's occupied area back to the village to report to the Hokage Building, they found Uchiha Tokumitsu's sinister third-generation ape at a glance. Hiriza immediately called a meeting of the core figures of the Naruto family to discuss how to deal with the conspiracy jointly planned by Hatake Sakumo's forces and the Uchiha clan.

Although Hatake Sakumo passively accepted Uchiha Tokumitsu's "suggestion", the third Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't have the mind to discern it at all, so he simply and neatly classified this matter as another attack on the Hokage forces launched by the two.

"...But it is also a conspiracy that is difficult to refuse."

Mitomonyan, who had just recovered from his serious injury, sighed.

He has been sent to the Kingdom of Thunder many times, and in the latter part of the war he also collected a large amount of information on the southern region of the Kingdom of Thunder, so he also has a relatively in-depth understanding of the resource distribution and profit output in the occupied area.

In the Hokage office, there are also the patriarchs of Zhuanshu Koharu, Akimichi Torukaze, Inokacho, Sarutobi Shinnosuke who returned to the village for a second treatment, and Orochimaru who has shown an unabashed expression of impatience.

As Mitomon Yan said, this is a conspiracy.

It was hard for the Naruto series, who had just lost a big defeat on the battlefield, to refuse the honey-wrapped poison that Uchiha Tokumitsu handed over.

But they also knew that what the Nara patriarch said was true.

If he takes over the territory occupied by the Kingdom of Thunder, it will inevitably incur bloody revenge from Yun Yin in the future.

If you want to suppress Yun Yin and control the ninja power he will cultivate later, then the Hokage family must throw the main force into the area occupied by the Land of Thunder, and create a series of incidents to provoke conflicts, and continue to bleed Yun Yin.

But if this is done, not only will Hokage's power to maintain the order in the village be greatly weakened, but it will also incur Yun Yin's generational hatred.

And this is equivalent to letting go of the checks and balances of the Uchiha clan. Who knows if those red-eyed neuropaths will take risks and do something "unbearable".

Although it is indeed fruitful to control the occupied area of ​​​​the Kingdom of Thunder, compared with completely offending Yun Yin, the gains and losses are really difficult to weigh.

"Master Naruto, this is Uchiha Tokumitsu's poisonous plan!"

Nara patriarch sighed, and said to Hiruzaru Sarutobi, the third generation who was silent in the seat above.

But the question is, who doesn't know it's a poison?

The problem is that everyone is thinking about how to eat the sugar coating of the poison and throw away the toxin, and they are just embarrassed by this.

"If the barbecue is brought to your mouth, if you don't dare to move your mouth because of looking forward and backward, then you probably won't even have the chance to drink soup..."

After being quiet for a while, Akimichi Torokaze broke the silence, "If we don't have the courage to connect to the occupied area, then we can only let Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo run against each other from now on..."

"And you... Ri Zhan, can you bear the ending of being impeached and resigned!"

Akimichi Tekkaze's spearhead is pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen III who is puffing out the clouds: "The goal of the innovation society founded by Hatake Sakumo is Shinkonoha!"

"Xinnosuke, do you have confidence this time?"

The third Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, but did not directly respond to Akimichi Tekkaze's words, but turned his attention to the eldest son.

When everyone heard the words, they also understood the position of the third Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"We must do our best!"

Although his reputation was damaged after a big defeat, Sarutobi Shinnosuke became more stable after recovering.

"How do you plan to maintain the situation in the occupied area of ​​the Kingdom of Thunder?"

Mitomon asked.

"Unite Wuyin, stabilize Yanyin, and curb Yunyin!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke replied in a deep voice: "The occupied area must be stable to achieve continuous output, and the stability of the occupied area must continue to weaken!"

"Maybe it's possible..."

Zhuanzhu Xiaochun nodded in agreement.

"What about internal affairs?"

Mitomon continued to ask.

"……political reform!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was silent for a while, and then two words popped out between his teeth.

"How to reform?"

Akimichi Takkaze narrowed his eyes and interjected.

"...The long skill of the shogunate is to control Yunyin!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke let out a breath before slowly answering.

Although this statement is regarded as an incorrect position in the Hokage series, it does not mean that this matter is incorrect, nor does it mean that the Hokage series cannot learn from Uchiha Tokumitsu's shogunate system.

For a long time, the Hokage series and Uchiha Tokumitsu's struggle has been like an elderly rent-rich billionaire versus a successful young entrepreneur in the limelight.

Although the former is unparalleled in wealth and wealth, the latter also has unlimited possibilities as he develops.

What the former lacks is time, and what the latter lacks is also time.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi, the third generation, once again set his sights on Mitomonyan.

Mitomon Yan shook his head first, then nodded again.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's understanding and performance are much better than before, at least according to Mitomonyan's judgment, he is still qualified for the post of guardian of the occupied area of ​​the Thunder Kingdom.

Then, another question comes—how can Sarutobi Shinnosuke convince the public?

You know, the northern border defense force that was originally under his command has been taken over by Uchiha Tokumitsu under the direction of Uchiha Fire Gate, and the members of the Sarutobi shogunate in the ninja army have been cleared, and there is still no sign of returning control of the border force .

And the border ninja army is under the jurisdiction of the military command department, and Hatake Sakumo, who is also the chief of the military command department, is an ally who is so good with Uchiha Tokumitsu that he is about to wear the same pair of pants. Naturally, he will not order Uchiha Himono to hand over military power.

After losing the carrier of the border troops, the Sarutobi shogunate has become an empty shell, and how to control the occupied area of ​​​​the Kingdom of Thunder has become a problem.

Thinking of this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi touched an edict on the desk.

A special edict approved by the daimyo of the land of fire.

"By the way, a while ago I asked the daimyo for candidates for the fourth generation..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi, the third generation, took a few puffs of his pipe, and said quietly: "Now I have received the permission of the daimyo..."

Except for Xiaochun who turned to sleep and found out about this, everyone present was shocked.

Even Orochimaru straightened up a little.

The position of Naruto is one of the long-cherished wishes of every ninja who grew up from Konoha Ninja School.

Although the cruel reality in the tedious and tiring tasks after graduation, the dreams of the past will be wiped out, but the childhood thoughts are still hidden deep in my heart.

Qiudao Fufeng's eyes flashed first, and then he returned to his peaceful appearance.

Mito Menyan was startled at first, but then remained unmoved.

The patriarchs of the Zhuludie clan looked at each other in blank dismay.

Only Orochimaru and Sarutobi Shinnosuke had calm faces, but their breathing involuntarily became heavier.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi, the third generation, picked up the imperial edict on the desk, and cast his eyes on his beloved disciple Orochimaru and the eldest son Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

Both of them are treasures in his palm, no matter how he chooses, it hurts a little.

But there is no way, the failure of the battle to capture the tailed beast made it impossible for Sarutobi Shinnosuke to get involved in the position of Naruto again.

The arrogant Konoha ninja will not accept that someone who has suffered the shame of defeat becomes Hokage.

so……

"Orochimaru……"

The Third Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his attention to his beloved disciple.

The eldest son Sarutobi Shinnosuke lowered his head slightly.

Orochimaru also straightened his waist.

"You have always been outstanding, and you have a group of supporters in the village."

The third Sarutobi Hiruzen said gently: "So I nominate you to the daimyo as one of the candidates for the Fourth Hokage."

one……

Orochimaru's eyes changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, and stood up to bow to the teacher.

"In addition, the nominations of two other people have also been approved by His Royal Highness..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi continued.

"They are Senju Tsunade..."

"...and Sakumo Hatake."

After finishing speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third generation, handed the edict in his hand to Mitomon Yan who was closest to him, and motioned for it to be circulated among the crowd.

Among the three candidates for the Fourth Hokage, two are disciples of the Third Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although Tsunade is a noble daughter of the Senju Clan, since she took the lead in reorganizing the Senju Clan, she rarely associates with the Hokage Clan. She only cares about training and nurturing the ninja power of the Senju Clan, and her relationship with her teacher has also become quite distant.

Hatake Sakumo is an ally of Uchiha Tokumitsu, backed not only by the Uchiha clan's support, but also by the reform society established by him as a wing.

And judging from what he said just now, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third generation, is most supportive of his beloved disciple Orochimaru.

The patriarchs of the Zhuludie tribe secretly exchanged eye contact and agreed to meet tonight.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi, the third generation, who was happily smoking a pipe, could see the changes in everyone's expressions.

"What do you think?"

Sarutobi Hiruzam III said again.

The patriarchs of the Zhuludie clan looked at each other and said in unison: "We support Master Hokage's correct decision!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi slightly nodded his head.

Unsurprisingly, the Zhuludie clan is also a staunch supporter of the Hokage forces.

His eyes turned to the three old classmates again.

"support!"

Qiudao Fufeng was the first to answer.

Mitomon Yan and Zhuanban Koharu nodded in unison.

"Then this is the end of the matter. Let's make an official announcement in the village some other day."

Coincidentally, the edict of the daimyo had just been circulated, and it was passed back to the third generation of Sarutobi Hiruzen again.

"As for the area occupied by the Kingdom of Thunder, let's decide like this..."

"Shinnosuke, you will be the guard of the occupied area."

The Third Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his eyes to the eldest son.

"Obey!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke stood up and responded.

"Oshemaru, as a candidate, you should give more guidance to Shinnosuke's work."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi said to Orochimaru warmly, "The establishment of the occupying army also requires some effort from you."

"……I see."

Orochimaru's perennially cold and solemn face also blushed slightly.

This is another form of interest exchange.

Using Shinnosuke Sarutobi's departure from the occupied area of ​​the town as a signal, he showed to the ninja clans of the Hokage family that Hiruza Sarutobi had no intention of hereditary replacement, and carried out his beloved disciple Orochimaru as the next generation of ninja clans of each clan. The allegiance of a generation.

And Orochimaru was assigned the responsibility of managing the occupied area and forming an occupying army. This also put Sarutobi Shinnosuke under Orochimaru, allowing him to stabilize the situation through the direct forces of Orochimaru, and set about rebuilding the ninja army directly under the shogunate .

"If there is no objection, prepare to make an announcement over there..."

Seeing that there were no more objections from the crowd, Hiruza Sarutobi the Third made a final decision.
