Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

Fortunately, none of the people present understood what had just happened.

Otherwise, with so many people around, she wouldn't be able to keep the news from leaking out.

It's normal that Hiruzen Sarutobi was bound by Mito's Kongo Lock and couldn't move.

But his silence immediately alerted everyone present that something was amiss.

More and more people began to whisper among themselves.

Mito Uzumaki realized that she couldn't wait any longer.

She used the chains to lay the dead Hiruzen Sarutobi flat, took a deep breath, and said:

"Hiruzen Sarutobi is dead."

Chapter 54 The Next Generation of Hokage Candidates

Before the meeting room could erupt in chaos, Mito Uzumaki continued:

"Hiruzen Sarutobi used the Reaper Death Seal, a ninjutsu that involves mutual destruction, so I had no choice but to use it against him."

Although the people present had some guesses, and Mito Uzumaki also provided an explanation.

However, upon hearing the news of the death of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he couldn't help but show a horrified expression.

Especially Mitokado Yan and Utatane Koharu.

After Mito Uzumaki finished speaking, they no longer cared about their role as advisors.

She ran up to Hiruzen Sarutobi and looked at him sadly.

They never imagined that their dearest friend, who had weathered countless hardships with them, would fall from grace and become Hokage.

A generation of heroes, whose story ended before it even began.

However, they couldn't really blame Mito Uzumaki.

Putting aside their lack of status, just look at the situation just now.

Hiruzen Sarutobi unleashed a ninjutsu in public, attempting to attack Seiryu Uchiha.

Mito Uzumaki's act of stopping him was legitimate self-defense, and was reasonable and legal.

Not to mention, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also involved in the kidnapping of children.

Koharu opened her mouth as if to say something, but Homura Mito shook her head at her.

He turned around and looked at Mito Uzumaki, saying:

"Lord Mito, now that the culprit Hiruzen Sarutobi has been executed, let us dispose of his body."

Mito Uzumaki naturally agreed to this request.

When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; no matter how great the sin, once a person dies, they go to the underworld with him.

It will only leave behind a reputation that will be infamous for eternity.

After seeing that Mito Uzumaki had agreed, the two of them carried Hiruzen Sarutobi's body and left silently under everyone's watchful eyes.

They didn't want to watch the meeting anymore.

Danzo was considered their friend, but he too was destined to die.

The death of a close friend had already grieved them deeply, and they could not bear to see Danzo die here as well.

But they couldn't change the outcome, so they chose to escape.

After they left, Mito Uzumaki sighed again; this was the umpteenth time she had sighed that day.

The Hokage was originally created to protect the village, but now Hiruzen Sarutobi has turned him into someone who harms the village.

This made Mito Uzumaki realize that only a good leader can drive the development of the village.

Thinking of this, she looked at Uchiha Seiryu.

'Will he be the captain of the new era? Can he lead the village further?'

'Never mind, I have plenty of time to answer that question.'

Mito Uzumaki looked at Danzo, the source of all evil.

She looked at everyone and continued to chair the meeting.

"Let's proceed with the decision regarding Danzo Shimura according to our usual rules: a vote."

After she finished speaking, she gestured to the people next to her to vote.

Those present were shocked by Hiruzen Sarutobi's sudden death.

But when they heard that a vote would be held to decide how to deal with Danzo, they all joined in.

After all, no one wants to go on a mission and come home to find their child gone.

This is a violation of the bottom line, an unforgivable sin.

The voting ended in no time.

With the statistics completed, the vote to execute Danzo was passed unanimously.

Mito Uzumaki was not surprised by this result. She looked at Subaru Uchiha and said:

"Leave it to you."

Uchiha Ang nodded gratefully, then grinned maliciously and led Danzo out of the conference room.

During the capture of Danzo, even their clan leader was seriously injured.

Now that I've been able to kill Danzo with my own hands, it can be considered revenge for them.

However, the meeting did not end with the conclusion of the trials of the two main perpetrators.

Now that the Hokage has been lost, Konoha desperately needs a new leader.

Everyone was talking about it, and as time went on, most people turned their attention to Mito Uzumaki.

As the wife of the First Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Mito Uzumaki enjoyed high prestige in the village, and her strength was undeniable.

She only showed a few tricks just now, yet she was able to let people know that she is even stronger than the third generation.

Therefore, from any perspective, she is suitable to inherit this position.

Mito Uzumaki didn't really want to become Hokage.

But when it came to the village, her own thoughts didn't matter so much.

The feeling of bearing a heavy burden is like having a thousand people eagerly awaiting every word you say.

Looking into the expectant eyes of these people, Mito Uzumaki knew that she had to shoulder this heavy responsibility.

She slowly walked to the center and said loudly:

"Konoha needs a new Hokage to lead the village forward!"

"Let me start, I propose it myself."

These Jonin originally wanted Mito Uzumaki to step forward and take on this important responsibility.

So when Mito Uzumaki finished speaking, they all nodded in agreement.

Although some ninja clans also want to compete for the Hokage position, such as the Hyuga clan, which has this idea.

They believed that although they could not call themselves the number one ninja clan in Konoha, they were still very strong.

But seeing Mito Uzumaki on stage, they suppressed their ulterior motives.

Becoming Hokage certainly has many benefits, but if it harms Konoha, you might lose your life.

Judging from Mito Uzumaki's behavior today, she showed absolutely no mercy.

And judging from the current situation in the meeting room, Mito Uzumaki is the popular choice.

Mito Uzumaki waited for a while, but no one else stepped forward to run for office.

She stood there, seemingly lost in thought.

Perhaps, it was because he was thinking of Hashirama Senju.

After a long while, when everyone below was buzzing with discussion, Mito Uzumaki finally came to her senses and said:

"In that case, I will lead you all forward!"

"Nara Shikame, please inform the Daimyo that the Third Hokage of Konoha has unfortunately passed away from illness, and I will temporarily assume the position of Hokage."

Upon hearing Mito Uzumaki's words, a person with a pineapple-shaped hairstyle and wearing a vest stepped forward.

"Yes, Lady Mito."

After saying that, Nara Shikamei muttered "What a hassle," which drew frequent glances from those around him.

Mito Uzumaki ignored him; that's just how the Nara clan is.

Although they said it was troublesome, everything was handled very well.

In name only, the Hokage should be chosen by the Daimyo.

But now the matter of the Third Hokage is developing too fast, and Konoha has also selected the next generation almost at the same time.

This will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the daimyo.

Although choosing Mito Uzumaki as the person in charge will minimize this dissatisfaction, a smart person is still needed to mediate.

So Mito Uzumaki was very relieved to entrust this difficult task to Nara.

After dealing with the matter with the daimyo, she continued:

"To ensure the stability of Konoha, the matter of the Third Hokage should not be mentioned for the time being. From now on, we should use the same story and say that he died of illness."

"Let's announce it to the villagers after things are settled in Daming."

"Come here today, the meeting is over."

Everything is over, and the meeting is finally over.

Sometimes, the ships of the old era can also carry the future.

Chapter 55 Madara: Hashirama, I was right!

Mito Uzumaki, along with Seiryuu Uchiha and Nonou, returned to the Senju residence.
