The original plan of the Uchiha clan was to decide the theme of their next clan meeting based on the Hokage candidate for this jounin class meeting, but suddenly someone pushed the star of hope of their clan to the position of Hokage candidate!
And it seems there is still no competition...
I originally thought that this time it would be Jiraiya and Tsunade, two Konoha Sannin-level figures, who would take over, or they might be replaced by Hatake Kakashi and other young ninjas...
Who would have thought that Tsunade would directly recommend twelve-year-old Itachi Uchiha!
If the Jonin Class meeting wasn't still being held right now, the Uchiha clan would probably have gone to the basement of Nanga Shrine to celebrate!
Jiraiya was rushed to the hospital by Tsunade. He did not show up at the Jonin class meeting today, which was really a big mistake. However, even if he showed up here, he would not be able to compete with his disciples for the position of Hokage.
What's more, the white-haired old man has given up many opportunities to succeed as Hokage. This time he went directly offside and made his disciple a candidate for Hokage. I guess he also agreed...
The two disciples he values most, one is the fourth generation Hokage of Konoha, and the other will become the fifth generation of Konoha!
This quality of education...who in the ninja world can match it?
"Besides Itachi Uchiha, are there any other candidates?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the table to signal the jounin present to be quiet, especially the group of people with the Uanfan clan emblem hanging behind their backs...
The old man cannot directly express his unwillingness to let Uchiha Itachi succeed the Fifth Hokage. If Uchiha Fugaku leads their clan and directly overturns the table, then Konoha will probably be doomed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Nara Shikaku, who was pushed aside by Tsunade, raised his head and looked at him and said: "Nara Shikaku, as the leader of the Jonin class, do you have anyone to nominate?"
"Not currently."
The Nara family is not very good at other things, so they only have one brain for good use. Everyone with brains or brainless people present knows that if nothing happens to Konoha, the future of Konoha will definitely be the era of Uchiha Itachi, so why should he touch it?
Bad luck?
Given the general trend, choosing Uchiha Itachi is political insurance...
If Jiraiya, Hatake Kakashi and the like bring up something else to dampen everyone's interest, it may temporarily gain points for Sarutobi Hiruzen, but it will definitely offend Tsunade and the Uchiha clan...
The Nara clan has always had a stable family tradition.
"..."
The Third Hokage glanced around, and after looking around, the old man finally realized a problem. In order to completely control Konoha, he deprived Danzo Shimura and Koharu of their positions, and placed his two disciples in important positions...
As a result, the two disciples did not act with him...
Now I'm done with it...
The twelve-year-old Hokage candidate is going to set a new record, right?
When the children in the Ninja School were still clamoring to become Hokage in the future, one of their contemporaries became the only candidate for the Fifth Hokage at this age...
He must live well, otherwise that little guy Itachi Uchiha might succeed as Hokage before he is twenty years old?
This matter must also be blamed on his lack of consideration, because Uchiha Itachi graduated too early, and in just a few years, he has walked a path that many ninjas will never take in their lifetime...
This is really hard to get off!
But there is no harm in this matter. The twelve-year-old Hokage candidate still looks like a child. The Daimyo will not be satisfied, right?
If the Daimyo is dissatisfied due to Uchiha Itachi's problem, he may not have the opportunity to operate in secret.
Let the Daimyo of the Fire Country, who fans himself all year round, deprive Uchiha Itachi of his Hokage candidate status...
"Since everyone has no objections, I hereby announce that Itachi Uchiha has become the fifth generation Hokage candidate..." Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed a few times and continued in a low voice: "One more thing, we are selecting Hokage candidates during this period.
It’s about arranging a special mission.”
"Everyone here should have received the news from the Kingdom of Wind..." The Third Hokage looked up at the people present, his face gradually became solemn: "Due to the actions of the Fourth Kazekage, there has been a conflict between the ninja villages and the daimyo of various countries.
The relationship has become more tense than ever..."
"In order to regain the trust of the daimyo and urge the daimyo to make financial allocations after the New Year, the village decided to send an important figure to the daimyo's mansion to be responsible for protecting the daimyo's safety..."
"..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had come to their senses. It was obvious that their meeting today was to decide which person to send to the Daiming Mansion to accept the direct jurisdiction of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
The main reason why the Third Hokage proposed the Hokage candidate was to let Konoha's Hokage candidate serve as a hostage.
I don’t know who came up with this trick...
It's a bit shameful...
"I think Mito Kabuto-sama is more suitable. As a consultant to the Hokage, Mito Kabuto-sama has had many contacts with the Daimyo Mansion over the years. He is currently the most suitable candidate in the village to handle the relationship between the village and the daimyo.
"
Uchiha Fugaku was the first to speak. He already understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's little thoughts. The old father did not want his son to take care of the security of Daming Mansion at all!
Now that the Uchiha clan has regained the hope of entering the center of Konoha, why bother to wade into troubled waters, if the attempt to get water from a bamboo basket is in vain...
I think back then, Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru and others also had great hopes of becoming Hokage, but their end was not pretty at all!
Mito Kadoyan felt a little surprised. His presence among Konoha's top management was relatively low, and he subconsciously wanted to take matters into his own hands: "That's okay. I'll do it tomorrow..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his old friend next to him, winked at him, and interrupted his speech: "No, Men Yan is already old and has low energy... I think we should send out young and promising people.
Go ninja."
The old father watched the interaction between the two old men above him and couldn't help but said angrily: "It seems that since Mito Katobu-senpai is older, he is not qualified for the position of Hokage consultant now!"
Shimura Danzo knocked on the table and snorted coldly: "What we are discussing now is to send people to the Daming Mansion to ease the current relationship between the village and the Daiming, not to question whether the Hokage consultant is qualified..."
"I support Lord Mito Kabuto! With his status and abilities, he is the most suitable person to go to Damingfu!"
"Uchiha Itachi, you have just become the village's Hokage candidate, shouldn't you make some contributions to the village?"
"Itachi is still young and obviously not suitable for taking on this important responsibility!"
"Isn't the position of Hokage candidate important enough?"
"Shimura Danzo, what do you mean? Do you want to take this opportunity to kill the Hokage candidate in the village again!"
"Uchiha Fugaku, don't make any insinuations!"
The root leader glanced at his political opponent coldly, closed his eyes calmly and continued: "I just think that the Konoha Police Force has been sending people to protect the Daimyo Uchiha since the Twelve Guards Ninja were disbanded.
As the strongest ninja in the Uchiha clan, Itachi can just coordinate the relationship..."
"That's so sorry! The Ministry of Defense has just decided to send two teams of ninjas to replace the police force personnel in Daming Prefecture!"
"I am also the chief executive of the Konoha Defense Department. Why haven't I received any news about this matter? I oppose this proposal. The Defense Department is an important force for Konoha to display its military power..."
"According to the regulations of the Ministry of Defense, after approval by two chief executives, it can be reported directly to the supreme commander. There is no need for some people who are not familiar with the matter to know!"
"..."
Seeing that the two senior officials of the Ministry of Defense were arguing in the meeting, and when the other jounin moved their bodies to retreat, Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his palm on the table: "Quiet! This is the jounin class meeting. I
Now issue an order in the name of Acting Hokage..."
"Uchiha Itachi is in charge of the personnel sent to the Daming Palace. As a Hokage candidate, he must also be appointed by the Daiming when he succeeds the fifth generation in the future..."
The young jounin stood up, pulled his father's sleeve, and nodded seriously to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Yes!"
"Men Yan has indeed reached the age of retirement..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes glanced back and forth between Uchiha Fugaku and Shimura Danzo, and said softly: "The position of Hokage Advisor has been vacant for a long time, and Men Yan is about to retire, so I hereby appoint Uchiha Fugaku and Shimura Danzo.
Hokage advisor, do you have any objections to assisting in handling important affairs in the village?"
Uchiha Fugaku glanced at Shimura Danzo reluctantly, and could only lower his head helplessly: "...Yes."
Although his son has obtained the position of Hokage Candidate and will soon be kicked out of Konoha, but now he has also obtained the position of Hokage Advisor, and he can finally intervene in the village's political affairs as the leader of the Uchiha clan...
"I understand."
The one-eyed old man didn't care. He knew very well that Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions were not to let the Uchiha clan dominate the upper echelons of Konoha, so it was an unexpected surprise for him to regain the power of the Hokage's advisor.
Even if he is not as powerful as Tsunade's Hokage Assistant, he will not be accused by that grumpy woman of not having the power to speak in the future...
Mito Kaden who was retired: "..."
What's the meaning!
A fire broke out at the city gate and affected the fish in the pond...
This is knocking him out of his position! He is an ordinary Hokage consultant who is conscientious and does a good job. He is also very low-key at ordinary times and does not cause trouble and make enemies. Why is he suddenly about to be retired...
Sarutobi Hiruzen called him to a meeting, just to expel him in public?
