As soon as these words came out, everyone present, including members of the Hyuga family, were shocked.
Even Hinata Hizashi behind Mami was unbelievable, shocked by Mami's unusual thoughts.
Konoha Hidden Village is said to be a village, but in fact it is the epitome of a small country. The villagers are the ones who accept the rule, and the Hokage is the king who controls everything.
When did it become the villagers' turn to choose the Hokage?
But after the shock, more people were pleasantly surprised.
In addition to the family ninjas present, there were also many civilian ninjas. In their opinion, Hinata really gave them a special right.
And these family ninjas are not unacceptable. The most important thing about doing this is to break the Hokage's monopoly.
As for the so-called villagers choosing the Hokage, it just sounds fair.
"Sama Shodaime, what do you think?" After Zhen said this, he asked Senju Hashirama beside him.
Only then did Hashirama come to his senses. He looked at everyone present and found that everyone's eyes had changed.
If you really directly tell the villagers that you should choose Hokage, the villagers may not realize what is going on. They may just think that choosing Hokage is a more interesting thing and someone needs to deliberately guide public opinion.
Understand what democracy is.
But the ninjas present are not ignorant people. They have all experienced battlefields and performed major tasks related to the direction of the country. They understand what power is about.
Hashirama saw the fanaticism in everyone's eyes. The fanaticism was not the reverence for Hinata, but the longing for the future that Hinata had invisibly described.
Can he deny this situation?
Hashirama's throat rolled, and his eyes were full of strange colors when he looked at Zhen Zhen.
Is this really just a teenager? What happened to him to have such an idea?
"I think...this is a good method."
Zhen looked at everyone present again: "What do you think?"
This sentence "What do you think?" made everyone present excited. In the past, it would only be "who has objections". In this situation, it is like the good and bad things have been infinitely magnified.
Immediately, many people agreed, and the heads of the major families also nodded in agreement.
Zhen said with a smile: "Since everyone thinks so, then I will draw up detailed charter."
Hashirama felt an indescribable feeling in his heart at this moment. He didn't feel angry, he just felt incredible.
This Hinata was truly unlike anyone he had ever seen before.
You say he covets the position of Hokage, but you can also describe it in a nicer way: a person who aspires to become Hokage.
This word was often used to describe Namikaze Minato in the past.
There are many people in the village who want to be Hokage. Even the ninja school can find a lot of children who aspire to be Hokage. Can we say that they covet the position of Hokage?
This type of people will only improve themselves blindly. In their opinion, as long as they reach a certain height, they will naturally become Hokage.
But Hinata is really different. He knows how to take the initiative to fight for it, which makes Hinata really more utilitarian.
But Hinata is really a skillful and intelligent person.
The only thing that makes people question it is age.
But he has been the Hokage's deputy for so long, and the fact that he manages the village in an orderly manner by himself shows everything.
Hashirama somewhat understood why the child had made no secret of it since the trial meeting ended, because he was already sure of victory.
The First Hokage poses no threat to him at all, unless he kills him, but this is even more impossible.
After coming out of Hinata's house, many people took the initiative to come up and talk to Hashirama, confiding their deepest feelings. Everyone looked excited.
Hashirama smiled and chatted with everyone for a few words, and then said goodbye to these people one after another.
The night was very dark, and there was no trace of sleep in Zhujian.
He wandered around the village for a while, and finally went to Tsunade's place, after all, living on the streets wasn't a good idea.
Shinya arranged a place for him and Tobirama to stay, but they didn't go.
There are only two people in Tsunade's family, one is Tsunade, and the other is a little black-haired girl, and it was the little girl who opened the door for her.
In the living room, Tsunade was lying drunkenly on the sofa, and the coffee table was covered with empty wine bottles.
"Xiaozuna."
"Grandpa...hiccup~"
Tsunade scratched her somewhat messy hair: "Do you want to stay here, Shizune? Go to the guest bedroom and tidy up."
Hashirama had no choice but to sit across from her, and he also picked up a bottle of wine that still had some left in it and took a sip, but unfortunately he had no sense of taste.
He put down the bottle and sighed softly.
Because he is also an alcoholic.
Tsunade opposite looked at him and laughed, lying on her side and said, "What's wrong?"
Hashirama also smiled and said: "It's nothing."
Tsunade asked again: "Did you just go to Hinata's place for a meeting?"
"Um."
"Do you think the village is a mess now?"
"...You can't say that."
"Leave such a mess to me, I can't clean it up." Tsunade said, picking up the wine bottle and taking a sip for herself. The alcohol content of the sake was not too low. It was really a bit bold for her to drink like this.
Hashirama pondered for a moment and asked: "Are you so resistant to being Hokage?"
Tsunade curled her lips when she heard this and looked down at the bottle of wine in her hand. The liquid from her indecent drinking posture dripped onto her hands and became sticky.
"That child." She suddenly gestured to Shizune who was cleaning up the room.
"My name is Shizune, her uncle... wanted to be Hokage, but died on the battlefield."
"Your grandson, whom I have never met, also wanted to be Hokage, but he also died on the battlefield."
Hashirama was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that the topic would suddenly become so serious.
Tsunade continued to lower her eyes and said: "Not everyone can be the Hokage, at least we shouldn't let those who can't recognize ourselves do it..."
As she spoke, she took another sip of wine and muttered in a low voice: "They are all idiots!"
There was silence between Zhujian for a while, then Fucai said: "I don't think you should deny them."
"No matter how strong a person is, since he wants to be Hokage, he must understand what kind of responsibility it means to be Hokage. They all have the determination to protect the village. This is the only thing that cannot be denied!"
"No one is born as Hokage. Improving yourself is also a long process. You don't have to reach the end to reflect the meaning of the process. Their death is also a reflection of their own value as a ninja. The village is definitely lucky to have such ninjas.
Yes, even if they are not Hokage, their significance to the village is the same as that of Hokage."
Tsunade fell silent, she somewhat hated such high-sounding principles.
Can affirming the value of the dead heal the pain of the living?
What she cared about was not whether the deaths of Shengshu and Duan De were meaningful, but that they both left her.
"What about Orochimaru?"
Hashirama's face darkened: "Xiao Tsuna, merit and demerit can never be offset. He has enjoyed everything brought by his merit and reputation, so he should also be responsible for the mistakes he committed, which cost the lives of thousands of people.
!Death is his best destination!"
Tsunade looked up at the ceiling and was lost in thought for a long time.
Yes, who can spare the lives of thousands of people?
Even if she is Hokage, she should not hesitate to execute Orochimaru.
Orochimaru...you are such a damn bastard!
Tsunade threw away the empty wine bottle and rubbed her face irritably.
"It's so annoying."
She stood up and looked at where she was sitting among the pillars, her mind moving slightly.
"grandfather."
"Um?"
"Would you like to play two games together?"
Hashirama was startled when he heard this, and then watched Tsunade take out two sifting cups from under the table, and his eyes couldn't help but shine with a glint.
He is not only a drunkard, but also a gambler. All of Tsunade's fine traditions come from him.
"Tsunade-sama, I will prepare the clothes for you to wear at the Sandaime-sama's funeral tomorrow..."
Shizune walked out of the room at this time and saw her grandfather and grandson having a great time in the living room.
