The succession ceremony was held on the third day. The Sandaime announced the whole village the day before and sent a message to Minato and Shikaku who were still fighting on the front line.
Shikaku couldn't understand why he and Minato were fighting desperately on the front line, but the village had already changed its dynasty.
And Hinata Hizu turned out to be a mole!
He wanted to rush back to Konoha with Minato immediately and question the Third Hokage face to face.
However, the letter sent back by the Sandaime ordered them to stay on the front line. In the current situation, they are indispensable on the front line. They were told to fight with peace of mind and to ask if they had any needs.
All is over!
At the Hokage's succession ceremony, the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, handed the Hokage hat to the students in front of him with a complex expression. He felt that all this was too unreal, and the impression that Orochimaru had was not one who was good at political struggle.
But if you think carefully about everything that happened in the past, everything is connected in series with each other, step by step, and the scheming is terrifying!
And now that he no longer has the ability to turn things around, he only hopes that Orochimaru can truly be worthy of the position of Hokage.
Otherwise, he would spend his whole life to eradicate this scourge.
"Don't look so scary, Sarutobi-sensei." Orochimaru said with a smile.
"You are now entrusting the future of the village."
Sarutobi just said in a deep voice: "Orochimaru, Konoha will be left to you."
Orochimaru gently put on his bamboo hat, turned around and walked to the edge of the rooftop of the Hokage Building. He looked at the villagers cheering below and listened to his name echoing in the air, which made him feel more relaxed than ever before.
He can finally do whatever he wants in this village.
And behind Sarutobi.
Standing there were Mito Kadeni, Koharu Koharu, Shimura Danzo and others.
Jiraiya and Tsunade were also there.
Tsunade was surprised that Orochimaru actually became the Fourth Hokage, but she had no resistance to this matter in her heart.
Jiraiya's mood was very complicated.
Also standing on the other side was Uchiha Fugaku, the leader of the Uchiha clan.
And the new leader of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Shin.
Fugaku was still wondering why the head of the Hyuga clan was only a young man and didn't even have a white eye.
But seeing that there was no mark on his forehead, he guessed that he was the new clan. In his opinion, Hinata was a deformed family.
Not only was he surprised, but everyone present, including Danzo, was also very surprised and even thought it was absurd.
After the ceremony was over, Fugaku took the initiative to talk to Zhen.
"True Lord."
"Fugaku-senpai."
Fugaku Dan smiled and said: "It is admirable that the true Lord has taken up the position of the head of the Hyuga clan at such a young age."
Shinori said: "Juniors are often afraid that they may not be competent. Uchiha is the most prestigious family in Konoha. In the future, juniors will have to learn more from Fugaku-senpai."
"The true king praised me highly. I cannot be the first to be worthy of it. Both Uchiha and Hinata are the pillars of Konoha. We must work together in the future."
"That's what Fugaku-senpai said."
"True Lord, you can come to Uchiha as a guest when you have time. My wife and I will sweep up the couch to welcome you."
"Most definitely."
The two of them just exchanged polite words, and the young man was much more tactful than Fugaku thought.
After the separation, Zhen returned directly to the Hyuga tribe.
The tribesmen he met on the road bowed to him one after another.
In any family except Hinata, a person as high-ranking as Zhen would never have this kind of intimidation.
Only the Hyuga clan, where the caged bird exists, can truly have such an unbreakable status.
His residence has changed, from the original one to the clan chief's courtyard, which was the original residence of Nizu.
It should be so, otherwise when the tribesmen came to see him, there wouldn't even be a decent living room.
There are many servants at home, and the one in charge is an old man.
Many things were replaced with new ones and simply rearranged according to Zhen's wishes. For example, most of the family's book collection was moved to Zhen's study.
It's a pity that we are not that close to Ayari anymore.
When he came back, Huomen was waiting for him in the courtyard.
"What a grown-up."
"What's up?"
Huomen hesitated for a moment and said, "Hizashi-sama said that from now on, I will be Shin-sama's bodyguard."
The Hyuga clan does have this kind of rule. Every clan member has a personal bodyguard, who has been chosen since he was a child. Kazuma Kazuma is about the same age, so he is the most suitable candidate.
Kamon is also one of the top people among his peers. Although he can't compare to Kakashi, he should be second only to Kakashi.
"My strength is low and I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect Master Zhen. But I will work harder in practice in the future and strive to be promoted to this position."
Huomen looked slightly unnatural when he said this. Two days had passed and he still hadn't gotten used to the real identity change.
"You don't have to be under so much pressure." Zhen just said, "Go back first."
"Sir, I'm resigning."
The Hyuga clan has encountered sudden changes, and there are many things that need to be dealt with, as well as things left over from the previous Hyuuga.
I really looked at everything carefully, and the most important things were nothing more than two things.
The first is the family's industry. Too many people died in the previous wars, and the industries that originally belonged to Hinata's name were left unattended. Most of these are businesses outside the village. If things go on like this, they will definitely become the possessions of outsiders.
There was no good solution to this problem before Rizu was alive.
Yesterday, some elders from the clan came to Zhen to mention this matter and asked if there was a suitable method.
But when they asked a young man such a question, they were just waiting to see his joke.
The second is the issue of reputation in the village.
Hyuuga Hizashi became a traitor. Although he said in front of the Hokage that he had nothing to do with the clan members and that Hizashi had killed his relatives out of justice, this kind of thing would inevitably change its taste when it spread to the public.
I haven’t thought about the first thing in detail yet, but the second thing is much easier to solve.
The Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru, can help clarify things and secretly guide public opinion. He will soon be able to portray the Hyuga clan as a glorious image who endures humiliation and sacrifices his life to protect the village.
But Zhen Zhen had other considerations before that. Different from the past, he has now come to the stage and there is no need to be secretive about anything.
In the evening, Hizashi took the initiative to come to the door.
"I am ready to terminate my engagement with Ayari." Hizashi said.
"Okay." Zhen Zhen was not surprised when he heard this and agreed immediately.
Hizashi continued: "What I want to remind you is that you should also have a fiancée. At the moment, Trisha is the most suitable one."
"If you want to marry Ayari, no one would dare to object, but it would be unpleasant if word spread."
There is a big age difference between Shin and Ayari. If this kind of thing spreads to the village, it will definitely become a topic of conversation among the villagers after dinner. In Hizashi's opinion, it will damage the reputation and image of Shin and the Hyuga clan.
Zhen Zhen didn't say anything about this. He had expected this kind of thing.
He drew a piece of cake for the tribesmen that could remove the cursed mark of the caged bird, so the trend of the tribe today would definitely be different from the past.
Many people think that Xia Hui will be his future fiancée, mainly because there is no other girl in his age group.
That Xia must be the next person to remove the caged bird. There must be quite a few people who have had a relationship with Xia's family in the past two days.
Zhen thought about it for a long time and suddenly asked: "How is Ayano doing now? Have you visited her?"
Hizashi was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes became strange: "It turns out that you... like older people."
Ayano and Ayari are still sisters, does Mayo actually have this hobby?
At a young age...
Zhen rolled his eyes immediately: "I just asked casually, what are you thinking about?"
Hizashi pondered for a moment: "It's not good. She used to be Hizashi's fiancée. You should be able to imagine what kind of situation she is in now."
Zhen nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about my marriage. I have my own plans."
After Hizashi left, Shinato thought about it for a long time at home, and then went out to Ayari's place.
The door of my original residence next door is now locked.
He has been very busy these past two days and has never looked for Ayari, and Sibi also left her there.
The night is getting darker, and the door of Ayari's house is closed.
Zhen walked up and knocked.
"I am asleep!"
Ayari's voice came from inside.
I really thought it was funny, so I said to the inside: "Open the door quickly, I'll pick up Sibi."
"Sibi is asleep too!"
"Woof?"
"..."
I sighed helplessly, stood in front of the door and called softly: "Sister Ayari."
There was a rustling sound.
The door opened slightly, and the warm yellow light inside was shining on Zhen's body outside the door.
