The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Everyone knew that the real show was about to begin.

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

That is, whether Hiruzen Sarutobi will step down.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi were to step down, the position of Hokage would essentially fall to Danzo.

As for Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha, they were just supporting characters.

"Wait a moment."

A discordant voice broke the silence in the meeting room.

Everyone turned to look.

Danzo frowned, staring at Uchiha Tonan, and said in a deep voice:

"Tunan, is there something you need?"

But seeing Uchiha Tonan with a gentle smile on his face, he suggested:

"Overall, Konoha was victorious in this war."

It's better to start with a reward, as it's more auspicious.

My battle achievements should be the highest, so reward me first.

To be honest, I've been looking forward to this for a long time, and I haven't been able to sleep well lately.

"Nonsense."

Danzo shouted, seeing that he was about to pull out his long-prepared secret weapon.

He had just knocked Hiruzen Sarutobi into the abyss when he was suddenly interrupted.

He was somewhat displeased that Uchiha Tonan had caused this unnecessary trouble.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Tonan Uchiha with a meaningful look.

However, Naraku shook his folding fan and chuckled, saying:

"I think this... young hero Tu Nan is right."

Let's reward him first; it's good to bring him good luck.

Seeing that the daimyo had spoken, Danzo could only shut his mouth, his gaze flickering uncertainly as he looked at Uchiha Tonan.

This guy.....

They don't trust me, so they want me to fulfill my promise first...

hateful.......

Are we really going to hand over those departments to them?

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

Such meetings typically begin by punishing the person who made the mistake.

Then, based on the remaining positions, they are allocated from highest to lowest rank.

In other words, Danzo planned to first dismiss Hiruzen Sarutobi, then be elected Hokage himself, and then assign the remaining people to different positions.

At that time, he also skimped on one or two departments of Uchiha Tonan. (Gu)

For example, the most important dark areas.

But now Uchiha Tonan is demanding a reward first, and the key point is that the most powerful daimyo on the surface has already agreed.

This caught Danzo off guard.

Just as Danzo was still hesitating, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been silent from the beginning, spoke first:

"Tu Nan's military achievements are evident to all. I recommend that Uchiha Tu Nan be appointed as the leader of the Anbu and advisor to the Hokage."

As the Hokage's advisor, he naturally also had to oversee other departments in Konoha.

"The logistics department, medical department, interrogation department, and intelligence department will all be assigned to Tu Nan."

Danzo was shocked to hear that the position Hiruzen Sarutobi mentioned was exactly the same as the one he had made in his deal with Tonan Uchiha.

My heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, they beat us to it.

Before Danzo could even try to salvage the situation, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado immediately erupted in a commotion.

The Dark Division has nothing to do with them, but the Logistics Department and the Medical Department were originally under their control.

"Hiruzen, you're insane! You've given him so much power, what are we supposed to do?"

“Tu Nan is still young, and I don’t think the position of Hokage advisor is suitable for him.”

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

Danzo had no choice but to step forward now; otherwise, he would have to speak up.

If Uchiha Tonan were to side with Hiruzen Sarutobi, all their efforts might be in vain.

Danzo said in a deep voice:

“I also think that Tu Nan is fully capable of handling these positions.”

What are everyone's opinions?

Then, the heads and higher-ups of both Hiruzen Sarutobi's and Danzo's small clans raised their hands and said:

I second that.

"I second that."

........

Uchiha Tonan leaned back in his wheelchair with a calm and collected expression, tapping the armrest lightly with his fingers.

Kabuto Hatake, standing beside him, immediately understood.

Kabuto Hatake immediately stood on tiptoe, looked around the entire conference room, and looked at those who hadn't raised their hands yet.

It seems they want to write those people down.

This made the remaining fence-sitters and the higher-ups who felt the decision was unreasonable restless.

Given the current situation, both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo are preparing to hand over these powers to Uchiha Tonan.

This matter can be considered a done deal.

If Uchiha Tonan remembers this, he might make things difficult for him in the future.

The leader of the Anbu, along with the Hokage's advisor to four powerful departments, is not someone that small ninja clans can afford to offend.

One by one, they raised their hands and said:

"I second that."

"I second that."

........

Before long, everyone in the conference room except Naraku, Uchiha Tonan, and Hatake Kabuto had their hands raised.

There wasn't a single dissenting voice.

Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi raised their hands and turned to look at Naraku, who was sitting at the head of the table.

Naraku covered the lower half of his face with a folding fan and chuckled:

"It seems that the young hero Tu Nan is the popular choice, and I have no objection."

Danzo forced a smile, his eyes narrowed as he stared at Uchiha Tonan, and said in a cryptic tone:

"It passed unanimously, so the matter is settled."

Tu Nan, I hope you will shoulder your responsibilities in the future and think more about Konoha.

Don't forget your roots.

Sitting in his wheelchair, Uchiha Tonan's lips curled slightly, his expression one of calm indifference, and he said softly:

"Thank you all for your trust and support."

I will do my utmost to serve the village.

At this moment, everyone present understood that a change of leadership was about to take place in Konoha.

Uchiha Tonan, at such a young age, has taken charge of so many important departments, making him practically second only to the leader in Konoha.

There are even some things that, if Uchiha Tonan persists in, might be beyond even the Hokage's control.

This was truly an absolute power in Konoha, far exceeding the combined power of the two former Hokage advisors.

Now, everyone around looked at Uchiha Tonan with goodwill and a hint of flattery.

Danzo felt a pang of regret, but since these positions had already been given away, it was time for him to reap the rewards.

He immediately said impatiently, "Now that we've started, let's continue talking about the mistakes of this war."

During this war, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, made several major decision-making errors.

This resulted in the needless sacrifice of thousands of Konoha ninja.

I have here the various orders issued by Hiruzen Sarutobi during the war.

Hiruzen, is there anything you'd like to say?

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head and looked around at everyone.

He also knew what evidence Danzo had collected.

These things cannot be denied; the matter of abdication must eventually be brought to the table and decided by all the high-ranking officials of Konoha.

But then Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply, his face full of self-reproach, and said:

"I was indeed too radical in this war."

However, this was because the pressure on Konoha was too great, forcing them to make rapid breakthroughs on the battlefield.

At the same time, I had too much faith in the strength of several Konoha elites.
