In my ears, the young disciple's passionate speech continued, but the Third Hokage's heart was filled with turmoil.
At first, he thought the young man was humiliating him, but he soon gave up this idea.
Because based on his many years of experience, the young man's words were sincere and sincere.
He can clearly feel these.
But it is precisely because of this that he is surprised, confused, and full of complexity.
At this time, he heard Uchiha Mitsuki next to him suddenly change the subject and talk about the will of fire, "Master inherited the will of fire from Lord Hashirama and Lord Tobirama, and this great will is now also
I inherited it."
"Before coming here, I asked Princess Tsunade, Lord Hashirama's granddaughter, what she thought of the Will of Fire. She thought about it and smiled and told me: 'Protect the next generation with trust and life!'"
Uchiha Mitsuki paused, took a deep breath, and promised loudly: "I will spend my whole life practicing it."
"——In the name of the Fourth Hokage!"
After he finished speaking, applause came like a flood.
The Third Hokage frowned instinctively, because Uchiha Mitsuki's approach was completely different from his own.
Take the Will of Fire, which is very beneficial to the ruling class. His approach is to blur the concept of the Will of Fire and enhance the connotation of the Will of Fire.
In this way, he, who has the final right of interpretation, can influence the opinions of others as he wishes.
But Uchiha Mizuki was different, he made the completely opposite decision to himself.
However, for a while, the Third Hokage was not sure who was better between him and Uchiha Mitsuki.
Just as the Third Hokage was deep in thought, Uchiha Mitsuki smiled slightly again, pressed his hands, and added angrily: "Today is the end of Konoha's 33rd year, and my term will end in Konoha 46th."
The year is over, that is to say, I will only be the Hokage for 12 years. After 12 years, a more suitable person will be the Hokage of Konoha."
"What?"
The Third Hokage, who was still thinking, was suddenly startled.
He never expected that Uchiha Mitsuki would make such a promise. After all, it is a person's nature to fall in love with power. But from Uchiha Mitsuki's extremely serious eyes, the Third Hokage knew that the boy was serious!
——He really plans to be Hokage for only 12 years!
At this moment, the Third Hokage was moved!
He suddenly felt that he was very naive and selfish in the past, and even lost the tolerance and foresight that a shadow in a village should have.
"Perhaps, this is why everyone abandoned me and chose Xiaomiyue..."
The Third Hokage took a long breath and felt relieved.
He regained consciousness and patted Uchiha Mitsuki on the shoulder. In the tone of an elder praising a junior, he proudly introduced to the crowd watching the ceremony downstairs: "This is my disciple. From today on,
He is now the fourth generation of Konoha, please support him!"
After saying that, he bowed deeply in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, the crowd downstairs burst into violent cheers, like a continuous downpour of rain.
With the words of the Third Hokage, the master-disciple disagreement that came out of nowhere has become the most absurd rumor and the most ridiculous joke in Konoha Village in recent times.
The process has reached this point, and this Hokage voting ceremony is coming to an end.
At this moment, Mito Kadoen and Koharu, who had originally planned to walk towards Uchiha Mitsuki and the Third Hokage, looked confused.
This hesitation made the two consultants involuntarily froze on the spot. They really couldn't understand what the young man had in mind to say such unbelievable things.
——Explaining the will of fire and limiting his term of office, is Uchiha Mitsuki crazy?
He has only been Hokage for 12 years, why doesn't he do charity?
Moreover, what they found most unacceptable was the change in the attitude of the Third Hokage.
Aren't you and Uchiha Mitsuki political enemies with conflicts of interest?
But what does it mean to be like you and me now?
After arguing for a long time, Mito Kado and Koharu discovered that they seemed to be the only two who had been firmly opposed to Uchiha Mitsuki becoming Hokage from the beginning to the end.
And the two of them acted like fools and outsiders!
At this thought, the two advisors no longer even thought about saying hello to the Third Hokage, hung their heads and left in disgust.
Watching their leaving figures, Danzo felt very complicated.
Based on his understanding of Uchiha Mitsuki, the young man was willing to increase the reputation of Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya at this juncture, undoubtedly because he wanted to replace them.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Uchiha Mitsuki's practice of killing people, Danzo was not unacceptable.
He understood that it was normal for a new official to change the decision-making level of the village.
But let him sit idle at home, he would find it very boring.
"I wonder what arrangements he will make for the Jonin meeting later?"
After glancing at the two masters and apprentices who were talking and laughing as before, Danzo touched his stomach and planned to go downstairs to eat first.
In the past few days, he was so worried that he was not in the mood to eat at all. Now, after finally waiting for this satisfactory result, Danzo's appetite naturally increased after he relaxed.
Soon, he walked downstairs in a hurry.
…
"Xiao Miyuki, come on! Konoha Village will be left to you..."
Standing on the roof of the Hokage Building, after taking a look at the bustling scene downstairs, the Third Hokage forced a bitter smile and said to Uchiha Mitsuki: "I won't be going to the Jonin meeting in a while, you guys watch
bring it on!"
Seeing the desolation and loss on Master's face, Uchiha Mitsuki didn't want to force him to attend the Jonin meeting and suffer, so he nodded in agreement.
"If possible, be gentler on the Sarutobi clan..."
Before leaving, the Third Hokage stared at his little disciple eagerly, hoping that he would be accommodating and not be too cruel to his family.
But Uchiha Mitsuki can't make the decision in this matter. After all, Tsunade and Kurama Masaki have been waiting for this day for a long time. How could he do something that confuses right and wrong just because of his master's plea?
So, for a while, he was in a dilemma.
Seeing this, the Third Hokage let out a long sigh and walked away with heavy steps. He knew very well that after losing power, the family would be settled by the Queen, but at this point, there was nothing he could do.
Now the only person the entire Sarutobi clan can rely on is his old face. As for whether the punishment will be severe or light, it all depends on Uchiha Mitsuki's decision.
Thinking of this, the Third Hokage seemed to have aged ten years instantly, and his face was horribly pale!
However, just as he was about to go downstairs, Tsunade suddenly rushed over.
