The night after the rain was a bit cold, and the wind was blowing in the courtyard.
After Senju Hashirama was led into the Hyuga tribe's land, he felt that many places here had changed.
Walking along the pavilion and corridor, I saw countless figures flashing in the brightly lit living room from a distance.
Because the Hokage Building was destroyed, there was no place in the village to handle official business, so Hinata used her home as a temporary office.
He was here tonight because there was a meeting convened for all the ninjas in the village, including chuunin and above.
"The First Hokage is here!"
When Hashirama walked to the door, he heard someone shouting loudly. The noisy room suddenly became quiet, and all eyes gathered in. These eyes were shocked, longing, excited and confused.
Hashirama glanced at everyone present, with a gentle smile on his face: "Hello everyone."
As soon as he said this, everyone bowed to him and saluted, shouting: "Sama Shodaime!"
The legendary figure whom he has been familiar with since childhood now appears in front of his eyes. How can he not be shocked and excited by these people?
Hashirama slowly came to Zhen's side, and Zhenya bowed to him and bowed.
"Sama Shodaime, I'm sorry to bother you so late."
Hashirama chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, I don't need to sleep anyway."
The reincarnation of the filthy earth allows him to remain in the present world, but it is no different from the walking corpse. He does not need to rest or eat.
Only then did Zhen speak to everyone present: "Everyone must have heard about what happened today."
His words made everyone stay silent.
"I invite you all to come here now so that all the truth will be fully disclosed to the public and we will discuss with you the future path of the village."
A sudden prison riot was actually planned deliberately by someone, and it also involved a bunch of scandalous secrets buried deep in the mud.
This kind of news is really shocking.
During the day today, everyone was busy quelling the riots and protecting the village. Suddenly, they heard the news of the death of the Third and Fourth Hokage. At that time, most people found it unbelievable.
What happened today was narrated to everyone present, and what he said was what should be said. The third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was still a glorious image who eliminated harm to the village and finally died together with the sinner Orochimaru.
Some ninjas who had been following the Sandaime Hokage for a long time covered their faces and shed tears, sobbing softly.
Shinata told that the behind-the-scenes instigators of this prison riot were Nara Shikaku and Namikaze Minato. Many people found it unbelievable. In their hearts, Minato would never do such a thing.
And after it was revealed that Namikaze Minato had admitted his crime, no one dared to question it.
The heads of the major families thought more deeply. What they foresaw was who would be in charge of Konoha in the future, and who would be the future Hokage.
I really asked Hashirama to speak. Hashirama thought about it for a moment and then said that he was very sad about what happened in Konoha, but more important things were still at hand. This prison riot caused a lot of harm to Konoha, mainly from
The thunder shadow destroys us, and we should work together to overcome the difficulties.
A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Sama Shodaime, who do you think should be the Fifth Hokage?"
Once this question was raised, it immediately attracted many people to ask questions.
The choice of the next Hokage is a top priority for everyone.
At this time, someone also said that they could let the two ancestors temporarily control the leaves.
However, they are reincarnations of filthy earth, and they cannot stay in this world forever.
Hashirama knew in his heart that this was no longer his era, and these people were not the people who had followed him in the past. Their respect for him only came from what they had heard and seen since childhood, but respect is something that has no cost at all. Once you touch it,
If you touch their cake, this respect will immediately collapse.
If the Sandaime Hokage was standing here, it wouldn't be too difficult to regain power, because the Sandaime has his own supporters.
Hashirama shook his head and said: "I am a dead person after all. All I can do is help protect Konoha, but the village still needs a new Hokage to lead everyone."
Someone in the crowd asked loudly: "Sama Shodaime, who do you think is suitable to be Hokage?"
Zhu Jian looked thoughtful.
If you want to be Hokage, there are only two basic requirements: prestige and strength, which require the approval of the villagers and major families, and an extremely important point, the approval of the daimyo.
When selecting the Hokage, there are usually several Hokage candidates, who are recommended by Konoha's senior management to the Daimyo, and then the Daimyo personally accepts the fate after discussion.
This is the normal procedure. Of course, there are many twists and turns, and there is no need to elaborate on how many conflicts of interest and sides are involved.
From the first generation to the fourth generation, the Hokage has always been in the same line. Except for Orochimaru, there is no difficulty or competition for the second generation and the third generation to inherit the position of Hokage.
For many people, it is not up to them to decide who the future Hokage will be. All they can do is to join in when the Hokage candidate appears.
This was how Minato was at the beginning. After all, the situation at that time was that the Third Hokage could only publicly declare that Minato was the next Hokage. No one expected that Orochimaru would take the cake in the end.
If this incident hadn't happened, maybe when Orochimaru stepped down normally, the next Hokage might still be Namikaze Minato, and still a member of the Hokage lineage.
Is Hinata really a Hokage? No, he can only be regarded as one of Orochimaru's followers.
There are still candidates in the Hokage lineage who can become Hokage, the other two Sannin.
But the key point is that all the lifeblood of the village is in the hands of the Hyuga clan leader! Without Orochimaru, it seems that this leader has been completely released.
So, is the new Hokage a member of the same lineage as Tsunade or Jiraiya?
Or is this the Hyuga clan leader?
If Hinata really takes the position of Hokage, does it mean that other famous families like them also have this opportunity?
Everyone present had their own thoughts, and Hashirama could see that they all had their own thoughts.
He said: "This matter affects the entire village, and I cannot make the decision alone."
Someone in the crowd shouted: "You are the First Hokage. If you don't make the decision, then who should make the decision?"
These words were obviously a trap. Hashirama glanced at the man and immediately said: "The position of Hokage is such a big deal, how can you just listen to one family's words!"
Shin on the side also said at this time: "What Shodaime-sama said is absolutely true. The Hokage's duty is to protect, lead, and govern Konoha. While he has sufficient abilities, he should also be the aspiration of all people."
"How about letting all the villagers of Konoha Village jointly elect the new Hokage?"
