After all, why can Kageyama Mamoru become the prime minister through election, but they can't?
Seeing with my own eyes that Mamoru Kageyama took over the administrative power of the country through public elections and reached a position of power that only daimyo could achieve originally, how could he not be itchy?
After all, they are all members of Congress.
The Constitution stipulates that everyone is eligible to run for office.
constitution……
The power of these two words not only shocked the hearts of the people of the Land of Fire, but also shocked the hearts of many Konoha ninjas. Nara Shikaku was the one who was most touched.
Hokage-sama, this time you are serious...
Witnessing Lei Luo passing over Takashi Maeda, the group of capitalists, Yu Chida, the most powerful nobles and bureaucrats in the Land of Fire, and even the extremely ugly Mitsue Daimyo, he walked towards the unknown man.
Shake hands with him in front of him...
The fire of desire emerged unconsciously in the bottom of my heart, and at this moment, after receiving Lei Luo's clear commitment, it completely boiled.
As the day passed and night came, after these long hours of thinking, Shikaku came to the conclusion: Instead of continuing to focus on his family and the village, he might as well just play something big.
At present, it seems that the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister are almost on the same level. The only difference is that one is in charge of specific matters and the other is in charge of direction. However, they are both bigger than Hokage and Konoha, and are bigger than all officials. They are only responsible to the members of Congress and the Constitution.
This kind of power, this kind of status and prestige, even if it is only obtained for five years, it will definitely be worth this life. Being the Hokage is not as satisfying as it is.
What's more, after the world is unified...
"Shikaku, do you intend to be the next prime minister?"
The question that came to his ears made Lu Jiu suddenly wake up from his immersion. He looked at Lei Luo's side face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said rather sarcastically:
"Lord Hokage, I made you laugh."
As he said that, Lu Jiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, then sighed:
"How difficult is it to gain the support of the people? I, Nara Shikaku, am not an official, nor can I bring benefits to the people like businessmen. I am just a ninja..."
When Lu Jiu was talking, Lei Luo tapped his fingers on the table, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "In other words, you really want to be the prime minister?"
The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Lu Jiu hesitated again and again, and finally nodded with difficulty. He didn't say anything anymore, but just looked at Lei Luo steadily.
It seemed that Shikaku's ambition could be so great. In connection with the previous series of questions and answers, he simply wanted to command himself, the Hokage, as a Konoha ninja in the future...
The thoughts in his mind were ups and downs. Lei Luo pondered for a long time and suddenly showed a smile. He raised his head and looked at Shikaku. He did not comment on the ambition of the Nara clan leader, but gave his own very straightforwardly.
opinion:
"Shikaku, if you want to become prime minister, you need to gain the approval of the people. Just responding to the peaceful evolution plan and pleasing me is useless. It will not make you rise to the top in one step."
Noticing that Lu Jiu's expression did not change, but his eyes dimmed slightly, Lei Luo thought about it carefully and decided to give this young man with a high IQ a chance:
"In the first Congress, I did not allow Konoha ninjas to participate in the voting stage because they lacked sufficient understanding of senior officials and capitalists. If they mix in randomly, it will only make others think that I, the Hokage and Prime Minister, engage in insider trading."
"In this way, the authority of the Constitution cannot be established."
"But..." He slightly lengthened his tone and noticed a slight fluctuation in Lu Jiu's expression. Lei Luo's expression became much more solemn and his eyes became sharper:
"When did I say that the people only mean law-abiding civilians? Do you really think that I will exclude ninjas from the country's political system forever?"
"Letting you and the seven ninjas from the Secretariat enter the Congress is not just what I want, but you. From now on, you will officially represent Konoha, and even represent the ninja community in the near future.
"
"The rights of ninjas need to be realized by you, the demands of ninjas need to be conveyed by you, and the beliefs of ninjas need to be connected by you. This is the real meaning of me letting you enter the Congress."
"If we really want to establish a one-word hall, then it is enough for me to directly support Guanghui as a daimyo. Why should I create a congress that divides my own powers? Hmm? Use your intelligence and think carefully."
Lu Jiu frowned and pondered for a long time. After a long while, he hesitated and answered: "Is it to make the country strong? For long-term goals? To serve the expansion strategy?"
Several questions in a row exposed Lu Jiu's confusion. Looking at the other party's appearance, Lei Luo sighed deeply and said slowly:
"The most fundamental purpose is to break the chain of fate that has been imposed on ninjas for thousands of years, so that ninjas are no longer weapons or tools, but become living people with all legitimate rights."
After saying that, regardless of Lu Jiu's surprised and even shocked expression, Lei Luo stood up, his expression calm again, but his tone showed a slight complicated fluctuation:
"War and killing are the theme songs of the ninja world. Even I can't avoid this. But what exactly led to this situation? Let ninjas kill each other forever? It seems that there is no end in sight?"
"I think it is the system and the meaning given by society to the professional group of ninjas."
"Ninjas who are completely superior to ordinary people in terms of military force and possess various extraordinary abilities will naturally be jealous and rejected by ordinary people. This is inevitable."
"So, the entire society will spontaneously form the idea of using ninjas as aliens, that is, as weapons and tools. This is the trend and the aspiration of the people. It has become an unbreakable concept now."
"There are two ways to break this concept. One is to take advantage of the severe ideological impact brought about by the changes of the times, and the other is to organize ninja representatives to enter the political system and effectively protect the interests of the ninja group to the entire country and the entire country.
Society has a voice.”
"Even if today's ninjas are not suitable to have the right to vote because they have been separated from the country and society for too long, this situation will naturally change in the future when the National Ninja Plan is rolled out and the Konoha Military District Plan is prepared."
"A ninja should have the rights of a citizen and must have the rights of a citizen. Do you understand? The one who intends to become the prime minister of the country - the Konoha ninja, Shikaku Nara?"
"The next congressional election will cover all tax-paying citizens of the Fire Country, so where do you stand and who are your voters... go back and think about it carefully."
As Lei Luo's plain tone fell, Lu Jiu still didn't recover from the entire theoretical system he just heard for a long time. It wasn't until he saw that the white cloak was about to go away that he suppressed the trembling in his heart.
, asked the last question loudly:
"Hokage-sama! Please tell me, what will the ninja look like in the future?"
Lei Luo stopped slightly, looked back at the young subordinate who was eager for an answer, and without hesitation, directly expressed his thoughts:
"In my territory, there will be no ninjas in the future, only extremely talented workers and...soldiers."
