Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

Originally, at the beginning, Jiraiya wanted to go with the flow, conform to the current speculation of public opinion, and solidify his wise character of "predicting the unknown".

However, Uchiha Sasuke believes that the propaganda method of creating gods and fooling the people will only unite fools.

The result would be that it would make truly intelligent people doubtful and cast doubt on the Hokage's rule.

The more you lie, the more loopholes will appear and the greater the potential risks in the future.

An issue that is not a problem in the first place will cause unnecessary trouble if someone is found to have lied and concealed it.

Going undercover at Orochimaru's base is not a shameful thing.

A truly clever lie should be 90 percent truth, mixed with the things you care about most.

Furthermore, according to the theory of ambushing Sunagakure in advance, it is impossible to explain to everyone the necessity of Hyuga Neji's defection.

Many details will be wrong sooner or later.

"Then, if there are no objections, the announcement document that will be released publicly among the Jonin Group is the one you have in your hands."

As Jiraiya spoke, he looked around at everyone and turned to look at the two advisors beside him.

The two of them had their eyebrows lowered and looked indifferent.

In fact, everyone present had roughly known the content of the announcement in advance.

Next, is the focus of this meeting, which is about subsequent personnel arrangements.

"Then, next, the other document in your hands, as you can see, is the battlefield report from our elite Jonin, Metkai."

Jiraiya said loudly, motioning for everyone to check for themselves.

This report will only be circulated in this room and must not be taken out.

According to Metkai's witness, when facing the Red Sand Scorpion, Uchiha Sasuke's strength was as good as that of elite jounin such as Sarutobi Asuma.

In view of his great strength as a Konoha ninja on the battlefield and his significant contribution to the maintenance of Konoha's status.

"As a ninja of Konoha, Uchiha Sasuke's performance in Sunagakure Village not only safeguarded the alliance between Konoha and Sunagakure, but also demonstrated the strength of our Konoha Hidden Ninja Village."

Jiraiya said calmly:

"Based on the double standards of strength and contribution, now I formally issue an initiative to everyone to nominate Sasuke Uchiha to be among the elite jounin. The work treatment and political power will be consistent with those of the elite jounin Kurenai Yuhi."

Everyone was silent, except for Hatake Kakashi who looked at Sasuke encouragingly and nodded at him with a smile.

"On the other hand, Hyuga Neji put himself in danger. As a ninja of Konoha, he also shouldered the dual responsibility of intelligence and combat.

"Furthermore, according to Metkai's witness, Hyuga Neji also has the strength of an average jounin.

"Based on the double standards of strength and contribution, I now formally issue an initiative to everyone to nominate Hyuga Neji for promotion to Jonin.

“In the new generation, after Uchiha Sasuke and Nara Shikamaru, we will also welcome the third young jounin ninja.

"Now, for the above two nominations, please start voting."

Jiraiya said calmly.

"agree.

"In addition, in accordance with Metkay's mandate, I also vote in favor on his behalf."

Kakashi was the first to break the silence and vote with a show of hands.

On the side, Special Jonin Yamashiro Aoba came out of the corner, put away Metkai's battlefield reports in everyone's hands one by one, and then walked back to the corner again.

Use the "Fire Release: Palm Fire Technique" to burn all the documents.

On the other side, the special jonin Genma Shiranui held a senbon in his mouth and silently noted down Kakashi's vote.

"agree.

"In addition, according to Sarutobi Asuma's request, I also vote in favor on his behalf."

Yuhi Kurenai was the second to speak.

Uchiha Sasuke showed a slightly surprised look, then quickly lowered his head and returned to normal.

Subsequently, Nara Shikamaru represented the Yamanaka clan and the Akimichi clan, and Aburame Shimi represented the Inuzuka clan, and they all solemnly voted in favor.

Finally, the head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi, also voted in favor.

Passed unanimously.

"Originally, I thought there would be a few abstentions."

After the meeting, Uchiha Sasuke followed Jiraiya and talked in a low voice.

Previously, the master and apprentice had analyzed the current governance structure of Konoha in the study room at home.

The two agreed that among the above-mentioned ten major forces, Kakashi, Metkai, Nara clan, and Aburame clan, these four are the iron vote warehouses of the Hokage lineage.

The Inuzuka clan and the Akimichi clan have strong swings and are neutralizing forces.

But with the blessing of Hokage's orthodoxy and the support of the Nara clan, it is not difficult to win over the two.

This is already more than half of the votes, ensuring the stability of the fifth generation Hokage's daily rule.

In addition, the Hyuga clan and Asuma Sarutobi (Red Yuhi) belong to relatively independent factions.

As long as it does not infringe on their interests, they are also happy to see healthy promotions that enhance the strength of the village.

However, the criteria for judging what kind of rise "does not infringe on their interests" appear to be much more subtle.

Finally, the attitude of the mountain clan has always been very ambiguous.

Secretly, Jiraiya has a lot of evidence of his clan leader, Yamanaka Haiichi's dealings with Shimura Danzo, but the matter that cannot be brought to the table has not been confirmed for the time being.

Jiraiya and others still have no way of knowing what this clan really thinks.

Of course, this is also related to its weak power and not being taken seriously by Jiraiya and others.

At this time, the "abstention votes" that Sasuke mentioned that may appear refer to the above three parties——

The Hyuga clan, the Yamazaka clan, and the Sarutobi clan.

“The more solid you make things, the less flexibility you leave for them.”

Jiraiya knew what Sasuke was referring to and responded in a low voice:

"Don't think that the words 'bad influence' are meaningless.

"Under the subtle game, the matter itself has become the fulcrum of everyone's fuss.

“With your performance in Sunagakure and Metkai’s endorsement, the trend is set.

"No one could be that ignorant."

Hearing Jiraiya's words, Uchiha Sasuke nodded silently.

He knew that this was the teacher giving him instructions.

Afterwards, the master and apprentice said goodbye.

Uchiha Sasuke walked out of the Hokage Building and ran into Tenten who had been waiting for a long time.

-

"So, Neji is now a jounin."

Uchiha Sasuke said with a smile.

"Really?"

Tiantian said in surprise.

But then, her brows furrowed again, still looking as if she was worried about something.

"Have you seen Neji recently?"

Before Sasuke could speak, Tenten took the lead again and asked.

Have you seen it?

Uchiha Sasuke recalled, it seemed that he had seen it before, but also seemed that he had not.

Then, Sasuke activated his talent of eternal memory, thought carefully, and said:

“I met him at the Konoha cafeteria at noon the day before yesterday.

"But there were a lot of people at that time, so they just nodded and didn't say anything."

"Then, do you think there's anything wrong with him?"

Tiantian continued to ask.

"no."

Uchiha Sasuke recalled carefully.

It’s just a quick look, so what information can there be?

An ordinary person would probably not even be able to remember this meeting.

"So, what exactly do you want to say?"

Seeing Tenten's appearance, Uchiha Sasuke became more and more curious and couldn't help but ask.

"I just doubt it."

Tiantian hesitated and slowly asked:

"Ningji, does he have someone else outside?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke almost spat out blood.

It’s been foreshadowing for so long, is this what happened?

Sasuke coughed violently, waving his hands, and said:

"Don't worry, during the time we left the village, we were almost inseparable.

"He has never behaved in any unusual way, and no suspicious girls have approached him."

Having said that, however, the scene in the Sand Village where Hyuga Neji asked to bite Karin was once again recalled in Sasuke's mind.

Then, emmm, in order to help Mr. Metkai break the Shukaku Shield.

That scene is still vivid in my mind.
