Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 161 Fifth Generation: Uchiha Shisui
In fact, most of the ninjas at the venue were not opposed to Danzo becoming the acting Hokage.

After all, Konoha needs funding from the Daimyo, and the Daimyo has the support of Danzo. If even the current Hokage disagrees, it will inevitably offend the Daimyo.

If Danzo were allowed to become Hokage, they could not only get more funding, but also temporarily limit Danzo's ambitions. Of course, the most important thing was that Uchiha would definitely be suppressed.

Many ninjas thought, not without malicious intent, that this result seemed acceptable.

Needless to say, the daimyo's envoy had already deviated from the situation the daimyo had hoped for, so anything that could be salvaged would be the better.

However, these thoughts only lasted for a few breaths.

Because they found that Mizutomon En, who should have agreed immediately, actually hesitated!

Everyone was shocked. Those who could become jonin were few in number and were fools. They soon realized something was wrong.

"The Third Elder of Uchiha is cunning and sly. He actually said such a thing in such an occasion. I'm afraid that the Mitomon advisor..."

Someone speculated quietly, causing the surrounding jonin to nod frequently.

"It is better to believe that such a person will become dumb than to believe that he will speak useless nonsense."

"But...why?"

Everyone was silent, with the hatred between the Uchiha and several advisors, why would he hesitate?
"Could it be that the Uchiha secretly caught him, or did he secretly make a deal with the Uchiha?"

The calmness in Danzo's eyes disappeared in an instant. Mito Kado En's silence of just a few breaths made him feel extremely surprised.

Why should he hesitate?

Facing everyone's gaze, Mizuto Menyan felt extremely conflicted.

Especially the way Danzo looked at him, which changed from calmness at the beginning, to expectation, to astonishment, and then to confusion as he hesitated, and now it was already a little crazy.

He knew how obsessed Danzo was with the position of Hokage and that he would sacrifice everything for this position.

Emotionally speaking, he also wanted to support Danzo to become the acting Hokage, and they would continue to be partners, cooperating with each other to lead Konoha out of the quagmire, suppress the Uchiha, and restore their former glory.

But Zhishui's calm gaze and Yan Shifan's playful expression made it difficult for him to speak.

Think about the ninjas in the clan and the future of the clan. He can't destroy the entire clan for the sake of other people's ideals, right?

The remaining rationality told him that he should be more selfish and absolutely must not support Danzo!

"Yan, what are you going to do?"

Utane Koharu's breathing became increasingly rapid, and she felt more and more uneasy. She couldn't believe that her partner of many years would choose to betray them at such a critical moment.

What can Uchiha bring to him?
They are true friends, and there is an indelible bond between them!

"inflammation!"

"Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout."

Facing everyone's strange looks and listening to his best friend's urgent urging, Mizuto Menyan hesitated for a long time and finally spoke.

After these words were spoken, the whole audience was silent.

The will of fire, everyone present knew it. Some young jonin had been bathed in the will of fire since childhood and could memorize it with their eyes closed.

Needless to say, Shisui was a saying he once highly praised.

But hearing this sentence in this occasion feels a bit strange.

Yan Shifan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and leaned back.

Utane Koharu and Danzo opened their mouths, the confusion and anger in their eyes almost becoming tangible.

Danzo even wanted to kill again. His way was blocked by his old friend for the second time!

"The Will of Fire. I didn't expect Advisor Mitomon to mention this."

The meaning of the Will of Fire is that young people are the hope of the future, and the older generation should trust and protect them. The sacrifice of the older generation is not meaningless, but will inspire the young to become the pillars of the future.

Sacrifice the old generation for the new generation.

Combined with Mizuto Menen's hesitation, everyone immediately understood what he meant.

"Mitomon Advisor refused. Doesn't that mean Danzo can't even be the next Hokage?"

"No, you should say Uchiha Shisui is going to become the fifth generation!"

"Hiss~ Uchiha Hokage."

Everyone's eyes swept over the few people, Danzo's body was shaking slightly, he looked directly at Mito Kado En and a hoarse voice came out.

"why?"

Although he had assassinated two people, he knew that this would never be the reason.

"I'm sorry, I'm doing this for Konoha, Danzo. You're too prone to extremes and you're not fit to be a Hokage, even a deputy Hokage."

Of course Mizuto Menen couldn't tell the real reason, so he just made up a decent excuse.

Danzo's breathing stagnated, and he wanted to struggle again, but he soon noticed the increasingly vicious gazes of some of the senior ninjas.

He has offended many people over the years. Now that he has left the darkness, once Uchiha Shisui becomes Hokage, he will inevitably lose the protection of his position as advisor. Who knows how many people will try to harm him by then.

"What a pity! It seems that Advisor Danzo is destined to have no chance of becoming Hokage."

Yan Shifan put his face close to him and sneered at the right time, and the corners of his mouth could hardly be suppressed.

Danzo's face darkened, and he was about to speak when he was interrupted by Yan Shifan, who continued, "Since the proposals of the daimyo and the sleeping counselor have not been approved, let's continue with the selection process."

The order of selecting Hokage should be that all the jonin vote for the Hokage candidate they are satisfied with, and the one with the highest votes will be the next Hokage.

Of course, so far, no successor of Hokage has followed the procedure completely, even the Fourth Hokage encountered some interference.

Nara Suzaku glanced at Danzo upon hearing this, and seeing that he had nothing to say, he nodded and said, "Then please start voting for the two candidates."

Seeing this, Danzo snorted coldly and said unwillingly again: "How can the future of Konoha be handed over to a 14-year-old child? The fiscal deficit, the war in the north, and the reconstruction of the damage caused by the Nine-Tails Rebellion, one by one, how can he solve them?"

Danzo roared and kept reminding everyone, and there was one thing he didn't mention: if they chose Shisui, it would mean that they would most likely offend the Daimyo.

Funding may be cut again in the future.

Facing Danzo's struggle, Shisui simply said, "Since I became a ninja, I have often listened to the teachings of the Third Generation. I have always kept the Will of Fire in my heart and never dared to forget it.

Years of thinking have made me realize that the future of Konoha does not depend on Shisui alone, but on every villager in Konoha. Their will determines the future of Konoha. Just like today, I believe in their vision and their decision. "

Danzo's aggressiveness formed a sharp contrast with Shisui's trust, which made some senior ninjas who disliked the two of them consider voting.

"Hey, Shisui is a pretty good kid. At such a young age, he has taken on the future of a family and made it so strong. He is quite capable."

"Yes, look how considerate he is of us, unlike Danzo, who almost has his wish to become Hokage written all over his face."

"How can someone like him become Hokage? The choice made by the Nidaime proves everything."

Everyone was whispering, and some of them looked at Danzo with eyes full of rejection. Danzo took all of this into his eyes, but he did not give up. These civilian ninjas were not rational enough and had no foresight. He believed that the ninjas in the village would make the right decision.

Hinata, Nara, Yamazaka, Akimichi, Sarutobi, Shiranui
One family after another began to think about two different futures.

Danzo knew that since Uchiha had not yet won over more than 50% of the people, as long as these ninjas helped him, he still had a chance.

Just when they were about to speak up and continue to fight for it, an Anbu suddenly appeared, then quickly came to Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, and then took out a letter and handed it to the two of them.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to that, and they were confused and puzzled. The Anbu appeared at such a critical moment. Could something big have happened?
Or maybe three generations?

Utane Koharu's heart moved and she also thought of this possibility. She quickly snatched the letter and started reading it before Mito Kado En.

Mizuto Menyan frowned, but did not fight with her for it. Instead, he moved closer to take a look.

‘Damn it! ’

With just a quick glance, the expectation on Utane Koharu's face disappeared instantly, and her expression became extremely complicated.

Mizuto Menyan breathed a sigh of relief and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"What happened? Why aren't you talking?"

Some people stretched their heads to see what was going on, while others asked in a low voice, "Is it really a letter from the Sandaime?"

Only the Sarutobi clan knew from the beginning to the end that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with the Third Generation.

"The North won. The defense line in the Land of Hot Springs was recaptured. Uchiha Teru killed the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure and snatched the Two-Tails away to reseal it. The Hyuga clan killed the Kumogakure Magnetic Style Jonin Troy and the bodies of the two were in their hands."

There was someone sitting behind the two assistants. He had very good eyesight and saw the general content with just a glance, and then summarized it out loud.

Everyone was shocked, and then their breathing became rapid and their scalps felt tingling. Each piece of news in the letter would have been great joy if it was published separately, but now all these happy events were put in the same letter.

"Counselors, is this really what the letter says?"

Hearing that the Hyuga family also had a share, the people around Hyuga Hiashi also asked at the signal of their own family head.

Koharu Utatane originally wanted to keep the news secret, but she was too excited and reacted slowly, resulting in the content being spread.

Seeing that there was no secret in the letter and seeing that Utane Koharu had a dazed expression, Mitomonen took it and asked someone to read it out.

The letter was written by Jiraiya, and it described the entire process and results of the recapture of the defense line.

The east and west fronts of Kumogakure were completely broken, Konoha took the opportunity to kill and capture thousands of Kumogakure ninjas, the wooden men were ambushed and killed, the two-tail was taken away by Uchiha, and Troy died on the battlefield.
Each and every event was repeated.

Jiraiya emphasized Sima Yi's control over the overall situation, and then recommended him to take over the command in the north.

The North won, the defense line was restored, and Konoha's pressure was greatly reduced. They should have been several times happier, but Uchiha made a great contribution, and Utane Koharu couldn't be happy at all.

Danzo had a gloomy face and a very ugly expression. He did not expect that the war in the north would end so soon. He also wanted to become the acting Hokage and personally go to the northern front to defeat the Hidden Cloud Village to establish his prestige and impress everyone. Unfortunately, everything is gone.

"Did I hear correctly? The Two-Tails was also snatched away by the Uchiha seal?"

"Yes, that's how he pronounced it."

"So, we in Konoha can also have a Jinchūriki?"

Naruto's affairs were kept secret from most people, even among the jonin many believed that Konoha had lost the Kyuubi.

Uchiha's capture of the Two-Tails was a huge boost to the strength of the entire Konoha.

'grandfather!'

Shisui was amazed and relieved at the same time. Although he was confident that he would not lose, Uchiha's achievement this time undoubtedly gave him a huge bargaining chip.

A belated letter brought the atmosphere of the entire conference to a climax.

The outcome has been decided, Nara Suzaku sighed in his heart, and then he brought up the matter of selection at an appropriate time and began to collect votes from the jonin again.

Seeing this, the daimyo envoy glanced at Danzo, opened his mouth but still said nothing, and chose to leave quietly.

Danzo did not continue to stand on the stage. He watched the jonin in the field vote. The short process became so long in his eyes. At this moment he even wanted to leave because he could guess the answer from these people's eyes.

But he was unwilling to accept it, he really was unwilling to accept it. He abandoned his perseverance, abandoned his best friends, and abandoned his village, but only got such a result, making him look like a clown.

He was unwilling to give up even if there was only a glimmer of hope.

That's Uchiha, the evil Uchiha, he can't become Hokage!

He screamed in his heart, trying hard to suppress his anger and unwillingness in order to maintain his final dignity.

However, the results came out quickly.

"The voting results are out. Uchiha Shisui received 61.3% of the total votes. This result was approved by the Jonin Council and verified by the three advisors. Uchiha Shisui will be the fifth Hokage!"

Nara Suzaku did not read out the number of votes Danzo received, but it didn't matter anymore.

The moment the result was confirmed, Danzo's heart finally died.

He was confused and lost for a moment, but quickly suppressed it. He scanned the entire room, his eyes fell on Shisui, and then he turned and left without stopping.

Utane Koharu also stood up and left. In the blink of an eye, only Mito Kado En was left among the three consultants.

Some families that were at odds with the Uchiha also looked unhappy, but when they looked at Uchiha Shisui who was about to become Hokage, they chose to stay.

The Jonin Conference represents the will of the majority of Konoha's powerful men. They are the real pillars of Konoha. Even if the Third Hokage comes, he cannot change the result.

This means that from the moment the result is confirmed, Shisui is the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!
"I have verified the results. Uchiha Shisui has been recognized by the Jonin Conference as the fifth Hokage of Konoha!"

Mizuto Menen stood up, walked to the front of the stage and made a solemn announcement.

After he finished speaking, everyone stood up, even those who were dissatisfied with Shisui stood up, and all eyes were focused on Shisui at this moment.

Shisui looked a little dazed, as the position of Hokage came rather suddenly.

From the moment they started taking action, Shisui's biggest realization was that plans cannot keep up with changes, and man proposes, God disposes.

Initially, he only wanted to support Danzo to become Hokage, and then look for an opportunity to take over the position from Danzo.

But things went off plan again and again, causing him to become Hokage ahead of schedule, and the burden of the village eventually fell on his shoulders.

Can he lead Konoha forward?

Shishui was thinking, and at this moment, he felt someone kicked his calf. He slowly raised his head and noticed Yan Shifan's gaze.

Suddenly, Shisui reacted, his eyes became clear, no longer confused.

He stood up slowly, his eyes scanning each of the jonin.

The whole place was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a long while, Shisui exhaled deeply, looked at me sincerely, and said in a high voice: "Konoha is still in danger, please move forward with me!"
