Konoha's Legacy Master

Naraku thought of this and shifted his gaze back to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was kneeling on the ground.

To be on the safe side, let’s treat it as a lie.

Then Sarutobi Hiruzen can no longer be Hokage.

He and that guy had a blood feud, not to mention that Shinnosuke died alone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen must be hostile to Gu, but he just cares about Gu's identity.

Konoha has not been so obedient in recent years.

Immediately afterwards, Naraku looked at Danzo, whose smile was slightly inconsistent.

He smiled and nodded.

But in my heart I secretly said:

This one-eyed dragon should be Danzo Shimura who has been in contact with Solitary.

It would be great if he could become Hokage.

Moreover, the information he gave Gu also said that he had obtained the support of that guy.

I don’t know if Danzo lied to me, or if that guy lied to him.

The smile on Naraku's face remained unchanged, and he once again moved his gaze to the two people behind him.

Uchiha Fugaku......

The leader of the Uchiha clan is the closest to that guy.

Namikaze Minato......

That guy's real identity is a teacher. According to intelligence, it seems that they have a good relationship.

But this person seems to be very close to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and I don't know if he will be angered.

It's a bit difficult...

For the current plan, we have to adapt to the wind and wait and see what the guy says first.

The only one that can be definitely ruled out is Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The Konoha ninjas led by this old guy have less and less respect for the Daming Mansion.

You have to give it a good beating. If you can force him to lose control, you can use your righteousness to remove him.

After thinking about it, Naraku took two steps forward and came to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He lowered his eyes and said in an inexplicable tone: "Sarutobi, Hiruzen."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he slowly raised his head and looked into Naraku's eyes.

But when Nai Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, he murmured:

"You look a lot like an old friend of Gu's."

He immediately frowned, patted his forehead with his hand, and said with an annoyed look:

"It's just that my memory is not very good and I can't remember it.

Forget it, I’m too lazy to think about it because I must have been dead for too long.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen's body shook slightly, and a warm smile appeared on his wrinkled face:

"Your Majesty, your highness is tired from traveling, please go to the Hokage Building to have a rest first."

When Naraku saw that the white-haired Hiruzen Sarutobi could endure it so well, he felt as helpless as punching cotton.

I instantly lost interest in Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He's just a bad old man who has lost all his blood.

But seeing Naraku's interest waning, he waved his hand and said:

"There's no need to take a rest. It's better to get down to business as soon as possible."

The smile on Danzo's face at this time was surprisingly flattering.

"That's right, His Highness the Daimyo is busy with things, so we have to seize the time.

Your Highness, I am here to show you the way."

Naraku nodded lightly and said calmly:

"Danzo-sama is interested."

After Danzo led Naraku toward the Hokage Building, many senior executives present stood up one after another.

It's just that everyone looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a little dodge.

Most of the higher-ups walked quickly toward the Hokage Building like they were avoiding the plague.

There were also a small number of senior officials who had always been loyal to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who lowered their heads and remained silent.

This made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel a sense of sadness in his heart, as if he had left the tea behind.

Only Namikaze Minato came to Sarutobi Hiruzen, supported him, and said with a worried look on his face:

"Lord Hokage......"

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and shook his head, patted the back of Namikaze Minato's hand and said:

"It's okay, it's just that I lost etiquette when I came here and made the great name unhappy.

Besides, I’m already so old, so I’ve long taken these things lightly.”

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the backs of the senior executives and clan leaders walking towards the Hokage Building with a smile on his face.

But he kept all these people in his heart.

Prepare to settle accounts after autumn.

Hokage Building.

As a disabled person, Uchiha Tunan did not go to the village entrance to greet Naraku.

Instead, he went directly to the conference room first, occupying a front seat and waiting.

After a while, the door to the conference room opened.

Danzo led Naraku in.

Danzo saw Uchiha Tunan sitting in his seat and secretly nodded to him. Thinking of the conditions he had negotiated with Uchiha Tunan before, he cheered: This time it is stable.

He immediately introduced Naraku:

"Your Highness, this is the hero of Konoha, Uchiha Tunan."

Naraku glanced at Uchiha Tunan casually, fanned the folding fan in his hand, and nodded: "Very good."

Uchiha Tunan bowed slightly and said: "I have met His Highness the Daimyo."

Danzo saw that Naraku had no interest in Uchiha Tunan, so he stopped introducing him further.

Invite Naraku to the main seat and sit down.

Then a group of senior executives entered the conference room one after another.

The ones walking at the back were the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze.

Sarutobi Hiruzen came to his seat and sat down. He glanced at Namikaze Minato beside him, and then at Uchiha Tunan who was sitting upright.

His eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Danzo jumped over to stand up, coughed lightly and said:

"Ahem, today I am witnessed by His Highness the Daimyo.

We will work together here to reward those who have outstanding achievements in this war.

Of course, those who have made merit should be rewarded.

Those who are at fault must also bear corresponding responsibilities and accept punishment.”

As he said that, he looked deeply at the old god Sarutobi Hiruzen with an incomprehensible look.

Then with a smile on his face, he bent down and said to Naraku:

"Your Majesty, do you have anything to add?"

Naraku, however, kept in mind what Uchiha Tunan told him before, and casually waved the folding fan and said:

"You said it very well, let's continue."

Danzo nodded and said energetically to everyone:

"According to the usual practice, punish first and then reward.

After all, there will be many more positions after the fine.

It’s also convenient to reward those who have made meritorious deeds.”

Everyone knows that the real drama is about to begin.

In fact, most people know in their hearts that there is only one most important thing about this meeting.

That is whether Hiruzen Sarutobi will step down.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi steps down, then basically the position of Hokage will fall on Danzo.

As for Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Fugaku is just a supporting role.

"Wait a minute."

A discordant voice sounded in the conference room.

Everyone looked sideways.

Danzo frowned, stared at Uchiha Tunan and said in a deep voice:

"Tunan, what can I do for you?"

But seeing the gentle smile on Uchiha Tunan's face, he suggested:

"In general, Konoha is victorious in this war.

It is better to give rewards at the beginning, which is more auspicious.

My military exploits should be the highest, so reward me first.

To be honest, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and I can’t sleep every day these days.”

"Nonsense."

Danzo shouted deeply, seeing that he was about to take out the secret weapon that he had prepared for a long time.

In one fell swoop, Hiruzen Sarutobi was thrown into the abyss, only to be interrupted on the spot.

I don't like Uchiha Tunan's unexpected side effects.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Tunan with a profound look.

However, Naraku shook the folding fan, chuckled and said:

"I think... what this little hero Tunan said is right.

It would be a good idea to reward him first and seek some good luck."

Seeing that the daimyo had already spoken, Danzo could only close his mouth and look at Uchiha Tunan with flickering eyes.

This guy...

You don’t believe me, so you want me to fulfill my promise first...

Damn...

Do we really have to give up those departments?

If you give it now, it will be difficult to get it back later.

This kind of meeting usually punishes the wrongdoer first.

Then they will be allocated from high to low according to the remaining positions.

In other words, Danzo plans to first depose Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then distribute himself to the remaining people after he is elected as Hokage.

At that time, he could also exploit one or two departments of Uchiha Tunan.

For example, the most important dark part.

But now Uchiha Tunan wants to reward him first. The key is that the most powerful daimyo has already agreed.

This caught Danzo off guard.

While Danzo was still hesitating, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been silent from the beginning, spoke directly:

"Tunan's military exploits are obvious to all, and I suggest that Uchiha Tunan be made the leader of the ANBU and advisor to the Hokage.

As a Hokage advisor, he naturally has to be in charge of other departments in Konoha.

The logistics department, medical department, torture department, and intelligence department should all be assigned to Tunan."

When Danzo heard that the position mentioned by Sarutobi Hiruzen was exactly the same as the content of his deal with Uchiha Tunan.

My heart immediately skipped a beat.

What happened? I was preempted.

Before Danzo could even open his mouth to remedy the situation, Koharu and Mito Kabuto started to explode.

The Anbu has nothing to do with them, but the Logistics Department and the Medical Department are departments they originally controlled.

"Hiruzhan, you are crazy! If you give him such great power, what else are we going to do?"

"Tunan is still young, and I feel that the position of Hokage Advisor is not suitable for him.

After all, these departments are related to the people's livelihood and public security of the village, and they are of great importance."

Danzo had no choice but to stand up at this time, if he didn't speak out anymore.

If Uchiha Tunan really falls to Sarutobi Hiruzen, then his success may be in vain.

Danzo said in a deep voice:

"I also think Tunan's ability is fully qualified for these positions.

What are your opinions?"

Afterwards, whether they were looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen or Danzo's small family clan leaders and senior officials, they all raised their hands and said:

"I second the motion."

"Second."

........

Uchiha Tunan sat back in the wheelchair with a calm expression and tapped the armrest with his fingers.

Hatake Kabuto beside him immediately understood.

Kabuto Hatake immediately stood up on his tiptoes and looked around the entire conference room, looking at those who had not raised their hands.

It seems that I want to write down those people.

At this time, the remaining outsiders and the senior executives who felt that this decision was unreasonable could not sit still.

According to the current situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo are preparing to hand over these powers to Uchiha Tunan.

This matter can be said to be a done deal.

If I am remembered by Uchiha Tunan, I am afraid that I will be put in the shoes of others in the future.

The leader of ANBU and the identity of the Hokage's advisor to the four powerful departments are not something that the little ninja can afford to offend.

Everyone raised their hands and said:

"Second."

"Second."

........

Within a moment, except for Naraku, Uchiha Tunan and Hatake Kabuto, everyone in the entire conference room raised their hands high.

But there was not a single voice of opposition.

Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi raised their hands and looked back at Naraku who was looking up at the same time.

But seeing Naraku covering the lower half of his face with a folding fan, he chuckled and said:

"It seems that the little hero of Tunan is well-received by everyone. I have no objection."

Danzo showed a forced smile on his face, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Uchiha Tunan, and said in an inexplicable tone:

"The unanimous vote passed, then the matter is settled.

Tunan, I hope you will take on the responsibilities on your shoulders in the future and think more of Konoha.

Don’t forget Ben.”

Uchiha Tunan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, looking unfazed, and said softly:

"Thank you everyone for your trust and support in me.

I will do my best to serve the village."

At this moment, everyone present understood that the top management of Konoha was about to change.

Uchiha Tunan controls so many important departments at such a young age, he can be said to be under one person in Konoha.

There are even some things that even the Hokage may not be able to control as long as Uchiha Tunan persists.

This is the true power of Konoha, far more powerful than the two former Hokage advisors combined.

At this time, the people around looked at Uchiha Tunan with kindness and a little bit of flattery.

Danzo felt a lot of pain in his heart, but since these positions had been given out, it was his turn to eat meat.

Immediately he couldn't wait to say: "Now that we have begun, let's continue to talk about the faults of this war.

During this war, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, made many major decision-making mistakes.

Thousands of Konoha ninjas died in vain.

I have here all the instructions given by Hiruzen Sarutobi during the war.

Hiruzen, do you have anything to say?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and looked around at everyone.

He also knows what evidence Danzo has collected.

These things cannot be ignored. The matter of abdication will eventually be put on the table and decided by all high-level officials in Konoha.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a long sigh and said with a look of remorse on his face:

"I was indeed too radical in this war.

But this is because Konoha is under too much pressure and has to break through quickly on the battlefield.

At the same time, I also believe too much in the strength of several Konoha elites.

The results were far different from what I expected. These were all things I didn’t expect.

I am willing to take responsibility."

Danzo saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen was not dead, a look of success flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"Now that you admit it.

Then I will do it in front of His Highness the Daimyo.

It is recommended to remove Hiruzen Sarutobi from the position of Hokage.

At the same time, Koharu and Mito Kadoen, as advisors to the Hokage, did not stop Sarutobi Hiruzen in time when he made a wrong decision.

Both men have been dismissed from their advisory positions."

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the Kurama clan suddenly stood up and said:

"I disagree!

Hokage-sama just made a radical decision, but in the end we won.

If we had made other decisions, we might not have been able to win the war so quickly."

Someone came forward, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's other cronies expressed support one after another:

"I don't agree either."

"Hokage-sama has done his duty for Konoha, we can't be too harsh on him."

.........

At this time, Namikaze Minato who was sitting in the field also said:

"I also hope that everyone will give Hokage a chance. He is a good Hokage who is dedicated to Konoha."

However, people from Danzo's lineage were not to be outdone and stood up to confront each other:

"I agree to remove the Third Hokage."

"I also agree. After all, the Third Hokage did something wrong. Is it possible that he should not accept the punishment for making a mistake?"

.......

In the conference room, cronies from both sides quarreled.

Of course, nearly one-third of the people have not expressed their stance.

They are all senior executives and ninja clan leaders who did not choose to take sides.

At this time, all these people were watching the development of the situation in silence.

Danzo turned his head to look at Naraku and asked softly:

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Naraku fanned his folding fan, looking harmless to humans and animals, and said with a slight smile:

"I also think that since the third generation has done something wrong, it should take responsibility."

Seeing that the daimyo had expressed his stance, several wavering senior officials expressed their agreement to remove Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The remaining people are still sitting there with their old gods.

Danzo's eyes narrowed when he saw this, and he felt a little angry.

Why don’t these old foxes express their opinions yet?

It seems they will help whoever wins.

Hum, when I take the position of Hokage, the first thing I will do is get rid of you idiots.

After thinking about it, Danzo turned his attention to Uchiha Tunan.

In this situation, Uchiha Tunan is the trump card that determines the outcome.

As long as he opens his mouth, he will definitely attract the rest of the wallflowers.

After all, the identity of ANBU leader and Hokage advisor is already real.

Coupled with Uchiha Tunan's original reputation, it is enough to motivate those senior executives who are still wavering.

At the same time, most people on the field turned their attention to Uchiha Tunan.

Uchiha Tunan, who looked calm and indifferent, seemed to become the focus of the scene.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously held his breath and stared at Uchiha Tunan.

He never thought that one day the power he regarded as life would be determined by Uchiha Tunan, who once regarded him as a tool.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen even felt a strong sense of regret in his heart.

Of course, it’s not that I regret that I targeted Uchiha Tunan during the war and made Uchiha Tunan disabled.

Instead, he regrets why he didn't get rid of Uchiha Tunan earlier.

Without Uchiha Tunan, there would be no such thing today.

But I saw Uchiha Tunan sitting in the wheelchair with a calm expression, tapping his fingers on the armrest again and again, as if he was still thinking about something.

"Ta, ta, ta."

I don’t know when the arguing in the field stopped, and only the sound of Uchiha Tunan tapping the armrest was left.

The atmosphere gradually became heavier.
