Chapter 320: Everyone’s Expectations: Power Over Konoha(1/3)
Naraku thought of this and shifted his gaze back to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was kneeling on the ground.
To be on the safe side, let’s treat it as a lie.
Then Sarutobi Hiruzen can no longer be Hokage.
He and that guy had a blood feud, not to mention that Shinnosuke died alone.
Sarutobi Hiruzen must be hostile to Gu, but he just cares about Gu's identity.
Konoha has not been so obedient in recent years.
Immediately afterwards, Naraku looked at Danzo, whose smile was slightly inconsistent.
He smiled and nodded.
But in my heart I secretly said:
This one-eyed dragon should be Danzo Shimura who has been in contact with Solitary.
It would be great if he could become Hokage.
Moreover, the information he gave Gu also said that he had obtained the support of that guy.
I don’t know if Danzo lied to me, or if that guy lied to him.
The smile on Naraku's face remained unchanged, and he once again moved his gaze to the two people behind him.
Uchiha Fugaku......
The leader of the Uchiha clan is the closest to that guy.
Namikaze Minato......
That guy's real identity is a teacher. According to intelligence, it seems that they have a good relationship.
But this person seems to be very close to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and I don't know if he will be angered.
It's a bit difficult...
For the current plan, we have to adapt to the wind and wait and see what the guy says first.
The only one that can be definitely ruled out is Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The Konoha ninjas led by this old guy have less and less respect for the Daming Mansion.
You have to give it a good beating. If you can force him to lose control, you can use your righteousness to remove him.
After thinking about it, Naraku took two steps forward and came to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He lowered his eyes and said in an inexplicable tone: "Sarutobi, Hiruzen."
When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he slowly raised his head and looked into Naraku's eyes.
But when Nai Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, he murmured:
"You look a lot like an old friend of Gu's."
He immediately frowned, patted his forehead with his hand, and said with an annoyed look:
"It's just that my memory is not very good and I can't remember it.
Forget it, I’m too lazy to think about it because I must have been dead for too long.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen's body shook slightly, and a warm smile appeared on his wrinkled face:
"Your Majesty, your highness is tired from traveling, please go to the Hokage Building to have a rest first."
When Naraku saw that the white-haired Hiruzen Sarutobi could endure it so well, he felt as helpless as punching cotton.
I instantly lost interest in Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He's just a bad old man who has lost all his blood.
But seeing Naraku's interest waning, he waved his hand and said:
"There's no need to take a rest. It's better to get down to business as soon as possible."
The smile on Danzo's face at this time was surprisingly flattering.
"That's right, His Highness the Daimyo is busy with things, so we have to seize the time.
Your Highness, I am here to show you the way."
Naraku nodded lightly and said calmly:
"Danzo-sama is interested."
After Danzo led Naraku toward the Hokage Building, many senior executives present stood up one after another.
It's just that everyone looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a little dodge.
Most of the higher-ups walked quickly toward the Hokage Building like they were avoiding the plague.
There were also a small number of senior officials who had always been loyal to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who lowered their heads and remained silent.
This made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel a sense of sadness in his heart, as if he had left the tea behind.
Only Namikaze Minato came to Sarutobi Hiruzen, supported him, and said with a worried look on his face:
"Lord Hokage......"
Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and shook his head, patted the back of Namikaze Minato's hand and said:
"It's okay, it's just that I lost etiquette when I came here and made the great name unhappy.
Besides, I’m already so old, so I’ve long taken these things lightly.”
After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the backs of the senior executives and clan leaders walking towards the Hokage Building with a smile on his face.
But he kept all these people in his heart.
Prepare to settle accounts after autumn.
Hokage Building.
As a disabled person, Uchiha Tunan did not go to the village entrance to greet Naraku.
Instead, he went directly to the conference room first, occupying a front seat and waiting.
After a while, the door to the conference room opened.
Danzo led Naraku in.
Danzo saw Uchiha Tunan sitting in his seat and secretly nodded to him. Thinking of the conditions he had negotiated with Uchiha Tunan before, he cheered: This time it is stable.
He immediately introduced Naraku:
"Your Highness, this is the hero of Konoha, Uchiha Tunan."
Naraku glanced at Uchiha Tunan casually, fanned the folding fan in his hand, and nodded: "Very good."
Uchiha Tunan bowed slightly and said: "I have met His Highness the Daimyo."
Danzo saw that Naraku had no interest in Uchiha Tunan, so he stopped introducing him further.
Invite Naraku to the main seat and sit down.
Then a group of senior executives entered the conference room one after another.
The ones walking at the back were the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze.
Sarutobi Hiruzen came to his seat and sat down. He glanced at Namikaze Minato beside him, and then at Uchiha Tunan who was sitting upright.
His eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Danzo jumped over to stand up, coughed lightly and said:
"Ahem, today I am witnessed by His Highness the Daimyo.
We will work together here to reward those who have outstanding achievements in this war.
Of course, those who have made merit should be rewarded.
Those who are at fault must also bear corresponding responsibilities and accept punishment.”
As he said that, he looked deeply at the old god Sarutobi Hiruzen with an incomprehensible look.
Then with a smile on his face, he bent down and said to Naraku:
"Your Majesty, do you have anything to add?"
Naraku, however, kept in mind what Uchiha Tunan told him before, and casually waved the folding fan and said:
"You said it very well, let's continue."
Danzo nodded and said energetically to everyone:
"According to the usual practice, punish first and then reward.
After all, there will be many more positions after the fine.
It’s also convenient to reward those who have made meritorious deeds.”
Everyone knows that the real drama is about to begin.
To be continued...
