His index finger lightly traced the drawer behind the desk. When he counted to the fourth box, Lei Luo paused for half a second, then took it out and began to flip through the thick stack of papers inside.
'Nonoyu did not change the placement of the files, which saved me a lot of time.'
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he focused on the merit list. The names flashed across his eyes in order. Lei Luo saw among them the names of Hinata Tamaki, Uzumaki Makoto, Orochimaru and others. He also saw Hatake Sakumo,
The names of Aburame Shiguro, Danzo and others.
In my heart, there is both melancholy and sadness.
I just feel that time seems to have passed for a long time.
There is no need to go into detail about those familiar names. After carefully checking the identities of the top heroes, Lei Luo noticed the existence of several old subordinates: Morino Iken, Nara Shikaji, Kato
Rika, Uchiha Ao.
Morino Iken was originally a good friend of Shiranui Kusama and Gekko Kando. He was one of the first batch of civilian ninjas to take refuge with Rairo. He followed Leiluo in his wars in the north and south for so many years and made many meritorious deeds.
It's just that unlike Shiranui Kusama, Iken Morino was unwilling to be sent out to be a commander in the military region due to personal reasons, so he stayed in Konoha Village and became the leader of the Intelligence Department.
Nara Shikashi, during the Second Ninja War, Nara Shikaku was the second in command of the Ninja Army who helped Lei Luo take refuge with Lei Luo. He helped Lei Luo take full control of the army and established the foundation for the victory of the decisive battle at Ishikawa Hill and the subsequent success of the Konoha coup.
He has made indelible contributions.
His identity is Nara Shikaku's uncle. He is about fifty years old this year. Due to personal reasons, he has not been assigned to other places. He has taken a casual position in Konoha Village, so that he can live his life after becoming successful and famous.
Kato Rika, because of Kato Dan, was promoted by Lei Luo and worked as the head of the logistics department for a long time. During this period, she worked seriously and responsibly. Although she has never been on the battlefield to kill the enemy, she has worked hard for so many years and has experienced some hardships.
labor.
Now, he is still staying in Konoha Village, working a clerical job, and has been married for a long time, with a happy and harmonious family. He is also the head of the Kato clan and has a daughter named Kato Shizune.
Uchiha Ao, during the Second Ninja War, led three detachments of Uchiha ninjas to join Lei Luo.
Later, he participated in the Second Village Agreement, the Konoha coup, and the May 26 Incident. He also studied in the Ministry of Intelligence for many years. During this period, he made many meritorious deeds and was praised and trained by Hyuga Tamaki.
This year, he is about forty years old.
Due to a work-related injury, he temporarily stayed in Konoha Village to recuperate.
In addition, in the peaceful evolution plan, he took the initiative to break away from the Uchiha clan.
Several names passed through his mind one after another. Lei Luo closed his eyes and thought secretly about the deeds of these old subordinates, and gradually focused his attention on the last Uchiha Cang.
'Tamaki seemed to have mentioned to me once that maybe this Uchiha Ao should be called Ao... He seems to be a rare talent, with a very firm stance and a high IQ.'
'By the way, Huan also applied for first-level resource usage permission for him.'
Thinking of this, Lei Luo pressed the button next to the desk. After a while, two masked root ninjas walked in. When they saw Lei Luo sitting behind the desk, they could be clearly spotted through subtle movements.
Stunned by it.
"Hokage-sama, are you back?"
Hearing this question, Lei Luo felt quite ashamed. After a few simple words, he ordered them to call all four Morino and Iken over. After half an hour passed, several old subordinates on the roster entered the Hokage's office one after another.
.
Like the two root ninjas, Nara Shikaji and the others were obviously very surprised after seeing Lei Luo. After all, the Hokage has not been in the village all year round. The person who handles the village's government affairs has always been Nonou, the acting Hokage. Today is the day when the sun sets in the west.
Out?
Could it be that something big happened?
Seeing the doubts on the faces of the four old subordinates, Lei Luo thought about it and briefly explained what happened to Nonoyu. Although he didn't say anything specific, it was enough to make the four people guess and understand Nonoyu.
Most of them had committed something and were dismissed from their posts. They all calmed down and waited for Lei Luo to issue an order.
"Eken, Luji, Rika, Cang, you all have a general understanding of the situation. The frontline is still fighting, and the time I can stay at the rear is limited. I won't say much and will get straight to the point."
As he spoke, Lei Luo raised his arms, put the back of his hand on his chin, put on a serious expression, and slowly swept his eyes across the faces of the four people opposite him. Suddenly, a solemn atmosphere filled the office. Nara Shikaji
The four of them straightened their backs subconsciously.
"The war is now gradually getting more intense. The senior officials are scattered on the battlefields of the four major countries and small countries. They have no time to manage the village, so you have gained a very precious opportunity..."
"That is, to succeed Nonoyu and become the new Acting Hokage."
As Lei Luo's opening remarks ended, the four of them were a little dazed, obviously extremely shocked. But soon, Nara Shikaji, who was the first to react, glanced sideways at the three people around him and asked:
"Hokage-sama, do you want us to temporarily act as elders, exercise the power of Hokage on your behalf, and be responsible for managing the village for you like Miss Noonoyu before?"
Nara Shikaji summed it up well. Lei Luo nodded and added:
"That's pretty much what it means, but there must be a leader, and this candidate will be chosen from the four of you. You have all been with me for many years, so I don't think I need to say more."
"Does any of you want to recommend yourself?"
Lei Luo's acting style is still so resolute. Fortunately, the four people present are already very familiar with him. After thinking about it for a short time, they couldn't help but look at each other. For a long time, no one spoke, maybe because of shyness, or maybe because
Sorry, anyway, the atmosphere became quiet for a while.
Seeing that no one came forward, Lei Luo tapped the corner of the table with his finger. After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Uchiha Cang. Seeing that this middle-aged elite of the intelligence department was observing the other three people, he coughed and said
:
"Cang, I remember that I once approved a document, which was submitted by Huan. Regarding the application for first-level resource transfer, what did you get? Ninjutsu? Secret skills? Or something...well, unusual
s things?"
Uchiha Cang hurriedly withdrew his gaze and replied without thinking too much:
"It's a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, Hokage-sama."
"Mangekyo Sharingan?"
All kinds of information flashed through his mind quickly, and within a few seconds, Lei Luo remembered one thing: During the peaceful evolution plan, Hyuga Tamaki accidentally captured a pair of kaleidoscope eyes belonging to the elder of the Uchiha clan, and it seemed that they had changed hands several times at that time.
, finally arrived at Orochimaru.
Later, due to Fugaku's strong request, it was returned to him.
In the process, I used the void creation to leave behind a few...
