Xia Li also looked at the jounin around him at this time. Many of them were familiar faces, such as Hinata Hizashi, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Dingza, Yamanaka Haiichi and other representatives of various families.

However, Xia Li didn't mean to be stage frightened, and went straight to the topic, "Everyone must know who I am, so I won't introduce myself. Then, on behalf of the Hokage, I will tell you what Konoha needs to solve next.

Before talking about the problem of Suna Ninja, we must first talk about Konoha's current reputation problem. Although this counterattack was done well, the Chunin Exam held by Konoha was undoubtedly a failure.

No matter what the reason is, it is a blow to Konoha's reputation. All countries will inevitably doubt Konoha's strength.

For this reason, the next step is to show Konoha's strength to all countries, so we will have to work hard to undertake more B-level and above tasks, and please be sure to improve efficiency while ensuring the success rate.

As for grouping, especially jounin groups of two to three can allocate the chuunin and genin of their own team; jonins of one to two people can also allocate chuunin or genin in their own team.

Therefore, everyone should get busy next, start taking tasks and complete them beautifully, contribute to everyone's Konoha, and overcome this difficulty together. "

When Xia Li made the first point, no one objected. Many jounin also nodded, agreeing with this point.

Especially those Jonin who were born as civilians, these tasks are still very important to them. If the tasks in the future are reduced, then their income and resources will undoubtedly decrease sharply, so naturally they agree with this.

After seeing no one objected, Xia Li continued.

"Then, regarding the matter of Suna Ninja, the Third Generation's idea is to try to avoid the occurrence of war between villages."

"Hmph, pedantic! Do you think they will be grateful if you forgive them this time? This time they tore up the covenant, then they can also tear up the covenant next time!" Danzo said with a cold snort.

On the other hand, the two consultants' eyes lit up and they looked at Xia Li with satisfaction. Although it was the third generation's opinion, the words were spoken by Xia Li.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet." Xia Li looked at Danzo and said directly without giving Danzo a good look at all.

"you!"

"What do you mean 'me'? I am speaking on behalf of the Third Hokage now, and as you, along with the Root, did not take any action in this plan, you should be the one with the least qualification to speak at this moment, right? Why don't you ask who here did not take any action or let his subordinates take action in this plan?" Xia Li looked at Danzo with a cold look in his eyes, and interrupted him directly.

To be honest, now is actually not the most suitable time to fall out with Danzo, but Xia Li really doesn't want to give Danzo any good looks. If the other party doesn't jump out, he won't bother to pay attention. If he jumps out now, he won't speculate if it's true. More than half a sentence!

"You!!" Danzo gritted his teeth, and then felt the eyes of the people around him. If Xia Li hadn't mentioned this matter, then they wouldn't know or say anything.

But at this time, Xia Li actually brought this matter to light, and suddenly those people looked at Danzo a little differently.

Faced with such a look, Danzo could only use the set of arguments about protecting the roots of Konoha again to confuse it, but it was hard to continue to give any more advice.

Sandai gave a wry smile. He naturally knew that Xia Li had asked him to find Genbu for help before, but was rejected. It seemed that Xia Li was very dissatisfied with this.

In fact, not only Xia Li, but even Sandai himself was a little disappointed with this. It was indeed right not to give Danzo the position of Hokage.

When Xia Li saw that Danzo stopped talking, he continued.

"However, although it cannot cause a war between Konoha and Suna Ninja, we cannot easily forgive Suna Ninja, whether it is for Konoha's face or interests."

Hearing this, the two advisors frowned, but Danzo's example came first, so they did not immediately refute anything, but chose to continue listening.

"First of all, the one-tailed beast must be returned to the Suna Ninja. After all, if we keep it, not only will we directly become enemies with the Suna Ninja, but we also have the strongest tailed beast Nine Tails, which will also cause trouble later. The other ninja villages are in panic, so we can’t keep one tail no matter what, and we need to return it to the Suna ninja as soon as possible.”

After hearing this, the expressions of the two advisors lightened up a bit, but Danzo's expression became darker, but what should he do if he felt that what Xia Li said seemed to make sense? It must be fake, it's all the idea of ​​that guy from the third generation.

"So it stands to reason that this one tail must be paid back, but we can't just give it to Suna Ninja. We also need Suna Ninja to agree to one of our conditions, that is, Suna Ninja must agree to kill Orochimaru. Village, Sound Ninja Village, no, it should be said that this is not a village at all."

"Didn't you say that you want to avoid war? How can you avoid it?" Xiaochun asked directly after hearing this.

"I'm talking about a war between villages, and neither Konoha nor Sand Ninja will admit the existence of Sound Ninja Village. Since it was founded by Orochimaru, it would be a lot to get rid of the reputation of the village.

What's more, in the Chunin Examination just now, many famous names were also affected by Orochimaru, so they would be very willing to cooperate, so what the Suna Ninja finally destroyed was just a base of rebel Ninja that had bewitched them. "

Xia Li looked at the two consultants and asked, "Excuse me, do you two have any questions?"

After moving to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoren looked at each other and said nothing. This would be equivalent to destroying a rebel ninja base. This was acceptable. They nodded together and said there was no problem.

Moreover, Xia Li's attitude towards them reminded them of Xia Li's attitude towards Danzo just now, and their favorable impressions doubled. However, Danzo's face turned darker over there. This difference in treatment was too obvious.

In fact, Xia Li didn't have much favorable impressions of the two advisors, but he had already offended Danzo. It would undoubtedly be a stupid thing to offend the two advisors again. Now he could only try to win over one group and suppress the other.

After seeing that they had no problems, Xia Li continued, "Also, the reward for wiping out the rebel ninja base is six to four points, six for Konoha and four for Sand Ninja."

"Will this Suna Ninja agree?" Mito Kadenen asked. He agreed with this, but it felt a bit unrealistic.

"Well, of course I won't agree, so I have to mention the compensation for the Sand Ninjas torn up the covenant first. As far as I know, the Sand Ninjas' current economic situation is not good. As long as their village cannot pay this amount of compensation, then this will give way to It wouldn’t be difficult for them to agree. If I weren’t afraid of them jumping over the wall, I would want all the gains.”

Xia Li also showed a look of pity as he said this, which made the ninjas over there feel numb. They all felt that this person was definitely not a simple master, and he must not offend him, otherwise he would be very troublesome, vindictive and...a bit obsessed with money.

Mito Monoyan nodded, seeming to be thinking about the feasibility of it, without saying anything more.

"One final point is that the Suna Ninja suffered a lot of losses this time, so their combat power is also seriously lacking, so we will also provide a friendly ninja to help in this war of annihilation.

And his mission is not only to help, but also to show the power of Konoha, so the power of this ninja needs to be as strong as possible. It is best to show a power that is difficult to match in this extermination operation. When they want to tear up the alliance again, they will be afraid of this ninja.

And the choice of this ninja..."

Before Xia Li could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Danzo.

Obviously, Danzo is also eyeing this task. After all, this task is a good opportunity to turn from darkness to light, and Danzo can't help but be tempted.

Chapter 146 The position of Hokage

I saw Danzo saying, "Let me do it. My strength should be enough, right? This is also to compensate for my not participating in the plan before."

"You must be strong enough, but..." Xia Li said with a sarcastic face, "You are not young, right? Even if you can intimidate the Sand Ninja, how long can you intimidate them?"

Danzo stared at Xia Li, furious. After all, Xia Li's words clearly said that he would not live for many more years. He angrily asked, "Then who else do you think there is besides me?"

"Me." Xia Li said with a smile.

"You?" Danzo mocked, "Are you strong enough?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo's heart skipped a beat. He was too angry just now and seemed to have forgotten something. The words just blurted out. He suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to be...

"I don't know if it's enough, but I know I'm very suitable." Xia Li said, taking out the special kunai and playing with it in his hand. This kunai was Minato's version of the Flying Thunder God kunai.

When everyone saw this kunai, they all realized what this kunai represented, and then they all thought of the figure galloping on the battlefield.

Indeed, with this ninjutsu, even if the strength is not that strong, it can still achieve a deterrent effect, and with Xia Li's age, the deterrent effect may be even stronger.

"So I won't bother you to do this. How can such a small thing bother you, a key ninja who needs to preserve the foundation of Konoha at all times~"

Xia Li was still worried about what happened before, so she directly expressed her anger.

Danzo was silent, clenching his hands, and for a moment he couldn't tell what he was thinking. He didn't look at Xia Li anymore, but stared at Sandai closely and said, "Hiruzhan, you will definitely regret it!"

After Danzo finished speaking, he stood up and left. It would be a joke to stay any longer, so he might as well leave.

After Danzo left, Xia Li continued as if he didn't care at all, "Everyone, that's all I have to say. Many of them haven't had time to think about its feasibility and specific implementation methods due to time issues. If there is no If people object, then we will discuss the specific implementation methods.”

"I agree." At this time, Haiyi Shanzhong stood up first and said, and then looked at Xia Li with eyes full of satisfaction.

Yamanaka Haiichi agreed, and Nara Shikaku next to him also nodded, pulling Akimichi Choza along and agreed.

After all, Xia Li is speaking on behalf of the Hokage now, and they naturally want to stand on the Hokage's side, but they are usually not the first to express their opinions, but... who makes Yamanaka the other party's future father-in-law.

Nara Shikaku was also a little envious of his old friend at this time.

As for Hinata Hizu, looking at Xia Li in front of him, he knew that the other person was the one who suggested Hinata take another path. After sighing for a while, he also expressed his agreement.

After these heavyweights all agreed, and the two consultants had no objections, the rest of the people agreed one after another.

Later, after no one objected, everyone began to discuss the specific details. In fact, Xia Li was not familiar with many people in this regard, so it was difficult to arrange it well.

Jiraiya looked at Xia Li over there and sighed inwardly. He was so sharp when Danzo was there, but now he seems to be able to accept the suggestions of people around him more humbly.

Moreover, Jilai didn't know what Xia Li just said, and he wouldn't think about it because of his personality. But just listening to Xia Li said it made him feel quite powerful. Maybe the old man's idea was right. It might be a good choice for Xia Li to become Hokage.

However, Jiraiya rubbed his chin and looked at Xia Li. Although he looked about fifteen years old this year, he was actually only 13 years old, right? Is this age really appropriate?

While Jiraiya was thinking, the discussion over there slowly came to an end.

The final result is that Yamanaka Kaiichi is responsible for the team's pairing combination, while Hinata Hizashi is responsible for negotiating with the Suna Ninja, and of course Nara Shikaku is assisting.

As for the distribution of tasks, two consultants are temporarily responsible for it. However, before distribution, the distribution list must be reviewed by the third generation. Only after the third generation agrees can the task be finally issued.

Of course, some other matters were also discussed during this process, but Xia Li was not familiar with these matters and generally did not participate in them. Fortunately, these matters were not major problems and were quickly resolved.

"Okay, now that it has been decided, let's proceed immediately as we just discussed. Xia Li and Jiraiya stay, and the others can withdraw." The third generation said on the hospital bed at this time. During this period, he had almost no Said something.

He was just thinking about something, and his eyes would fall on Xia Li from time to time.

"Yes." All the jounin responded immediately after hearing this, and then left the third generation's ward in an orderly manner.

After everyone left, Sandai looked at Xia Li with a wry smile and said, "Xiao Xia Li, there is actually no need to target Danzo so much, he..."

"He will also be good for the village? I don't believe this. From what I have observed, what he did is not a good thing or beneficial to Konoha." Xia Li blocked it directly. The third generation said instead.

"Sandaime-sama, you are too indulgent towards him. You dare to refuse the Hokage's order in Konoha without being punished. This is not what you should be."

Suddenly, Sandai's breath was stagnant.

"Old man, I think Xia Li is right about this. You have indulged Danzo too much. If you had not indulged him so much, maybe many things would not have happened." Jiraiya rarely spoke seriously at this time. .

The third generation finally sighed, his figure became more stooped, and he stopped mentioning Danzo.

"Jiraiya, you should also know my current physical condition, right?" Sandai asked.

"Well..." Jiraiya suddenly felt a little bad.

"Then, Jiraiya, you will be the Hokage." The third generation calmly made a shocking announcement.

"Huh?" Jiraiya was stunned and didn't react for a long time. Isn't it Xia Li?

And Sandai continued, "I know you still have the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal, but after so many years, hasn't that prophecy still not happened?"

"No, no, no, old man, I have never wanted to be Hokage!" Jiraiya said quickly after he realized what he was doing.

"Who should you choose to be Hokage? Xia Li is not old enough, at least he has to wait until Xia Li becomes an adult. So Jiraiya, you only need to take three years to become Hokage. When Xia Li becomes an adult, you can continue your pursuit. Your prophecy." There was also a hint of anger in Sandai's tone.

"But..." Jiraiya wanted to say something else.

"But what?! Who else in the village is suitable now except you? How about I ask Danzo to come back now and pass the position of Hokage to him. I believe Danzo will be very willing to accept this position!" Sandai said and stared. Towards Jiraiya.

Jiraiya couldn't help but shrink back when the Third Generation stared at him, as if he had returned to the time when he was tortured by the Third Generation as a child.

At this time, Jiraiya's inflexible brain began to work rapidly, and finally his eyes lit up and he said, "How is Tsunade?"

The third generation paused and then fell into thinking. According to his idea, the best arrangement is for Jiraiya to be the Hokage, and then he can smoothly transition to Xia Li. But now Jiraiya's attitude makes him feel angry. .

At this time, the third generation couldn't help but worry. Even if Jiraiya was forcibly tied to this position, would he really be able to do it?

If it's Tsunade, that's not bad, but...

"Tsunade is not in the village now, and will she be willing to accept the position of Hokage?" Sandai said and wanted to sigh again. Why, neither one or two can reassure him, can't he learn more from Xia Li?

Now the third generation regrets it, regrets it very much. Why did he push Xia Li to Jiraiya as his apprentice at that time? Wasn't it good for him to keep it himself?
