Naruto: The Six Paths of the Senju Family

Chapter 123 Jōnin Conference

In the following period of time, the entire Muye Village set off a post-disaster reconstruction movement in full swing.

With the huge financial support of Wedge Real Estate, while the residents of Konoha worked hard to clean up the ruins, they could also receive generous rewards from the Wedge Real Estate Chamber of Commerce.

All of a sudden, the residents of Konoha broke out with unprecedented enthusiasm and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the post-disaster reconstruction team.

At the same time, a meeting concerning the future fate of Konoha is being held in the conference room of the Land of Fire.

The initiator of this meeting was Hiruza Sarutobi of the Third Hokage, and invited the Daimyo of the Fire Country, who was still a guest in Konoha Village, to be a witness of this meeting.

The participants included representatives of each family, and a group of ninjas who have the title of ninja in Konoha Village.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was wearing Hokage's imperial robe, and sat at the head of the conference room with a somewhat sluggish face, and the Daimyo of the Fire Country sat side by side with him.

Glancing at the Konoha ninjas who had already arrived in the conference room, Hiruzaru Sarutobi cleared his throat and announced the start of the meeting.

"cough!"

"Everyone!"

"The nine-tailed demon fox rioted in the village the day before yesterday, everyone must have known about it, right?"

Everyone present did not answer, but looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a sluggish expression, and nodded silently.

"The old man fought with Nine Tails and was seriously injured."

"After recuperating for the past few days, although the injury has improved, the physical condition is getting worse."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to continue serving as Hokage!"

Except for the representatives of a few big families who were still sitting still, a group of representatives of small families who did not know the situation and the ordinary shinobi apparently had a little commotion.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked around, sighed secretly, and continued:

"This time I invite you to hold a Jonin meeting to select the next Hokage for Konoha."

"The old man submitted the list of several Hokage candidates to His Excellency, and you can vote on it."

"The one with the most votes will become Konoha's fourth Hokage!"

The representatives of a group of small families looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at the big family camp where no one stood up to speak, and they all shut their mouths wisely.

Turning to bed Xiaoharu and Mitomonyan looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

"Master Ri Zhan, Three Generations, why don't you speak to our advisor elders about such an important matter?"

"Where is Elder Danzang? At this time, he should also be there, right?"

Mitomon Yan stood up and pushed his glasses, and said to Hiru Sarutobi with a slightly dissatisfied tone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him, slightly disappointed with this old friend who still couldn't see the situation clearly, and shook his head slightly.

"Night of the Nine-Tails, Elder Danzo took the lead and led his men to fight against Nine-Tails. He has already sacrificed for the village!"

"As for the election of Hokage, I just decided after discussing with His Excellency Daimyo."

"Your Excellency Daming is sympathetic to the old man's seriously injured body, and it is not appropriate to delay, so he agreed to the old man's resignation from Hokage."

"I didn't notify the two consultants in time, I can only say sorry!"

Seeing the indifferent expression on Sarutobi's face, Mitomon Yan suddenly understood something, and sat back without saying a word.

"The old man is in poor health, and I will trouble Your Excellency for the next election!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi ignored the two advisors and nodded to Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

The fire country daimyo stood up from his seat, took out a list and gestured to everyone.Without talking too much nonsense, he said straight to the point:

"This is the list submitted by the third generation. Please follow the principle of fairness and justice and vote for the person you think is the most suitable to succeed Hokage."

"The first one, a disciple of the Third Hokage, one of the Sannin, Orochimaru!"

"Second place, the third Hokage's disciple, Tsunade Hime, one of the Sannin!"

"The third place is Konoha Shirato Hatake Sakumo!"

"Fourth"

The voice of the fire country daimyo elongated a little, and he glanced at everyone.

"The disciple of Sannin Orochimaru, the younger brother of Tsunade Hime, the successor of the Senshou Clan Mudun, who suppressed the runaway Kyuubi and saved Konoha from the fire and water."

"Rope tree!"

"The above four are the candidates for this Jnin vote."

"Please start voting!"

The representatives of a group of small families were stunned after hearing the list read out by the daimyo of the Fire Nation.

"Is this the fair and just attitude you said? Why don't you also say that he is the grandson of the first generation?"

While the representatives of these small families were whispering, someone from Konoha's several big family camps suddenly stood up.

"The patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku. On behalf of the Uchiha clan, I vote for Mr. Nasuki."

"The patriarch of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hizuru, represents the Hyuga Clan and supports Nawaki-sama as the fourth Hokage!"

The patriarchs of the three Zhuludie families who were sitting together exchanged glances when they saw the two families who had expressed their attitudes.

Nara patriarch stood up slowly, showed an apologetic look at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said loudly:

"The patriarch of the lower Nara clan, Nara Antlers. On behalf of the Inokacho family, I support Naruki-sama as the fourth Hokage!"

Everyone in the field looked at the three patriarchs standing up, and they were all in an uproar.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Nara Antlers who had been supporting him all the time, and now he stood on the side of the tree with a clear banner.Even though he had already recognized Naoshu, he still felt a little uncomfortable seeing this situation.

"I didn't expect that! Did the three of you give up on me early in the morning?"

"Ha ha."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi showed a wry smile, shook his head secretly, and once again recognized the importance of himself as Hokage in the big family of Konoha.

"The oil girl clan, support Naoki-sama to become the Fourth Hokage!"

Looking at the oil girl clan who stood up after Zhuludie's statement, even the two elder advisors were surprised this time.

"how come?"

"Haven't the oil girl clan always been very close to Danzo? How could this be?"

Ignoring everyone's gazes, the oil girl patriarch sat down slowly and fiddled with her fingers tucked into her sleeves.A wave of mental power was transmitted to a parasite lying on its fingertips, and the parasite responded immediately, sending back a burst of chaotic mental fluctuations.

"Owner."

There was a subtle smile on the face of the oil matriarch under the sunglasses.

The insect control technique exchanged from Shengshu at the cost of loyalty is enough to make a qualitative leap in the strength of the oil girl clan who are insect control envoys.

As for the price and dignity paid, it seems so insignificant in the face of the continuation of the entire family.

It is a law of nature that the weak belong to the strong.

This Jonin meeting, which was aimed at electing the Fourth Hokage, finally came to an end with Orochimaru, Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo abstaining.

The daimyo put away the list in his hand, and the smiling Okinawa tree nodded.

"Mr. Naoshu, congratulations!"

"After the Hokage handover ceremony is officially held, you will be Konoha's Fourth Hokage!"

Rope Tree also smiled at Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help!"

"Your Excellency Daming, please rest assured, I will do my best to assist Your Excellency Daming, so that the people of the Land of Fire can live a happy life."

The two smiled at each other and said nothing.
