"What's going on here, the sleeping consultant, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, then the Daming Mansion will re-evaluate the financial support for Konoha!"
The Fire Nation daimyo closed his fan with an angry expression on his face. Usually he used the fan to cover his face, but now he closed the fan to show his expression. It can be seen how angry the daimyo is now.
In addition to slowly controlling Daimyo of the Fire Country, black magic can also magnify the emotions in his heart.
"This matter will be thoroughly investigated by the Anbu and the interrogation team. Please rest assured, Your Excellency, the Ministry of Finance, including the transfer consultant, will not miss a single one."
It's a matter of funds and the support of the Daming House, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't want to have more accidents, although he has the title of ninja hero, but his courage is not as good as the Second Hokage;
At worst, break the relationship on the spot, and let the daimyo be killed by bandits when he leaves the village.
But Hiruzaru Sarutobi couldn't do it, he was fancying his own reputation, he didn't dare to fall out with the daimyo publicly, and he didn't want to cut off the financial support from the daimyo mansion to Konoha, so he could only admit his mistake quickly and let it go in advance , and then deal with it slowly afterward.
"When something like this happens, how can I trust Konoha again?"
The fire country daimyo is still angry, obviously dissatisfied with the explanation Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him, the few things that were found out by Kahn just now, there is a difference of hundreds of millions of taels, is this killing the daimyo mansion like a pig? .
Now it has changed from a personal problem of Sarutobi Hiruza to a matter between Konoha and the Fire Country. No one can remain indifferent if he knows that he has been cheated of hundreds of millions of taels, especially if the other party is a daimyo of a country.
Nara Shikahisa desperately thought of a solution to the situation in his mind, but no matter how he thought, he couldn't think of a good solution.
Now he has no chance to intervene, the patriarch of the Nara clan? This status is nothing in front of the fire country daimyo, he has not yet become the squad leader of the ninja class.
"Let's choose Hokage again!"
After the daimyo finished saying this, he covered his face with the fan again and closed his eyes.
This sentence was like thunder on a sunny day, and it exploded in everyone's hearts. Some of the more marginal Jonin never thought that things would evolve to the point where Hokage was re-elected.
Like Kakashi who has been paddling, no matter how depressed he is, he can't help but look up at the daimyo after hearing this sentence, which means that the third Hokage has lost the trust of the daimyo.
Although Konoha has been building the village for a short time, the cooperation with the Fire Nation has always been close. It can be seen from previous wars that the Fire Nation's support for Ninja Village is definitely the first among the five Ninja Villages.
But now the daimyo says to re-elect Hokage...
For a while, the room was completely silent, and most of the jonin looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with an ugly face. At this time, his series of actions just now completely lost their effect.
There are only two choices now, either take a step back and let Hokage go; or be tough to the end, warn the fire country daimyo, and restore the majesty of Konoha Village.
It's just that the latter will sharply break the relationship between Konoha and the Land of Fire, and some ninjas will not approve of Sarutobi Hiruzen's approach, such as the guardian ninja Hatake Sakumo.
"Hizan didn't make any big mistakes during his tenure. On the contrary, he made a lot of credits. To change Hokage just because of other people's mistakes, Konoha would never agree to such absurd thing!"
Danzo took two steps forward on crutches, his only remaining eye glowed coldly, fixedly staring at the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and warned him.
However, when Danzo saw Kahn who was smiling at the side, the hatred in his heart couldn't be suppressed... It was this person who made him what he is today, not only losing the position of Hokage, but also being disabled The body contributes to Konoha.
Kushina, who was sitting behind Tsunade, felt Danzo's malice towards Kahn, and couldn't help but squeezed his fist and muttered in a low voice: "Old bastard, sooner or later, I will beat you hard."
Facing Danzo's threat, the Fire Country daimyo didn't care at all, or under the influence of black magic, the fear in his heart had been suppressed to the minimum, "No matter what you say, unless a new Hokage is elected, the Daming House will Konoha's support may be suspended for a period of time, including task distribution..."
After hearing Daimyo's words, not only Shikahisa Nara, but also Tsunade and other jounin couldn't sit still; if Konoha had no financial support and task distribution, the village might collapse.
Danzo asked with a cold voice: "Are you threatening Konoha, Your Excellency Daimyo!"
"I know you, Danzo, a disciple of the Second Hokage; this is not a threat, but an ultimatum from the Daming Mansion."
After the Fire Country daimyo finished saying this, he closed his eyes and waited for Sarutobi Hiruzen's reply.
At this time, the room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard, Hiruzaru Sarutobi wanted to kill this reckless daimyo several times; After the daimyo was killed, he couldn't keep everyone's mouths shut.
All the jounin didn't know how to speak, they seemed to be a spectator; even the head of the ninja clan and the three ninjas in the front row didn't say a word.
Although Hyuga Hizuru is young, he is proficient in the kung fu of recuperating the mind. When he sits there, he closes his eyes and rests his mind. The other ninja clan leaders, except Ikacho, learn from the Hyuga clan leader, but they do not have the tradition of the Hyuga clan. Aristocratic etiquette gesture.
As for Sannin, except for warning Nara Shikaku, Orochimaru was watching the movie the whole time. Tsunade kept frowning and biting his nails, and Jiraiya was also fidgeting, as if there were nails under the cushion.
Now Hiruzaru Sarutobi also guessed why the daimyo is so tough, his confidence is in the next Hokage, or Orochimaru; when Hiruzaru Sarutobi turned his head to look at Orochimaru, the latter also smiled at him .
Orochimaru, I will never let you succeed!
After being quiet for a long time, Hiruzaru Sarutobi said slowly: "...I understand what Your Excellency Daimyo means, five days later..."
Daimyo suddenly interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said, "Aren't Murakamakami Shinobi here? If Hokage is elected, when will it be better than now?"
Hiruzaru Sarutobi couldn't help but angrily said: "Isn't Hokage's election a trivial matter, don't go too far, Your Excellency!"
"It should be Konoha who is going too far. The Daming Mansion believes in Konoha so much, but what they get in return is deception!"
The fire country daimyo also slammed the table and yelled angrily, then picked up the evidence on the side and threw it in front of him; but he lacked strength and lack of skill, he threw it less than two meters and fell to the ground, not hitting Hiri Sarutobi at all cut.
However, this move by the daimyo also made most of the junin feel ashamed. What they learned in the ninja school is the supremacy of the employer and the ninja spirit; Ye Ninja did not feel proud, but lowered his head in shame.
'It's all the fault of turning to bed Xiaochun and....'
More than one person thought so, at least one-third of the hundreds of ninjas present had this idea.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked around, most of the jonin were downcast, and he couldn't find a few who supported him; as for Mitomon Yan and Zhuanju Koharu, their reputations had already been lost, and it would be a joke to speak again.
And Danzo is like a sick dog, no matter how happy it barks, it can't scare the name of the country of fire.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi slowly closed his eyes, and finally, as if letting out a sigh of relief, he said, "Just do as Your Excellency Daimyo said, and hold the Hokage election now."
After saying these words, Hiruzaru Sarutobi seemed to be ten years older.
....................
Hokage elections are very simple. The only official election was when the first generation of Hokage was elected. At that time, it happened to celebrate the establishment of the village, so it was held more grandly.
Then the second generation directly inherited the position of Hokage by virtue of its strength and prestige, and then the third generation of Hokage was appointed on the battlefield. Speaking of which, there is no fixed process at all. After all, there are only three experiences, and each time is different, so there is no reference value at all.
The election of the fourth generation of Hokage is also different from the previous three generations of Hokage. Strong conflicts broke out between Daimyofu and Konoha, and there was even a risk of separation. Under such circumstances, the Hokage election was held.
In fact, at Sarutobi's age, he is now in his prime.
"In terms of contribution, strength, etc., there are people in the village who agree with Hokage candidates, including Oshemaru-sama, Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-sama, and Namikaze Minatojonin."
Nara Shikahisa said to everyone that Namikaze Minato was tied with Sannin at such a young age, but it is indeed enough in terms of military exploits and strength; , and Tsunade's strength, even Orochimaru will feel a headache.
"Because all the jonin are present, we tentatively set one vote per person, twenty votes for the daimyo, three votes for the Minister of the Fire Country, and the person with the highest number of votes is the Fourth Hokage..."
This is the only way Nara Shikuhisa can think of, he can only hope that Namikaze Minato's popularity in the village will be better.
However, the votes in the hands of the daimyo and the Minister of the Fire Nation were accidental. This was requested by the daimyo. Hiruzaru Sarutobi and the others did not ask, so it was difficult for Nara Shikahisa to refuse.
Before Nara Shikahisa could finish speaking, Tsunade interrupted: "You don't need to add me, I recommend Orochimaru."
After Tsunade's words, Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen's expressions were very ugly; while the medical ninjas present nodded slightly as if they had received a signal, and some civilian ninjas who didn't know who to vote for seemed to have targets.
Jiraiya quickly said at this time: "I also abstain. I support Minato. He is the most suitable ninja for the Naruto position in terms of strength and quality."
If you abstain, just abstain, and canvass for votes! Tsunade gave Jiraiya a disdainful look, typical of not admitting defeat.
However, Tsunade was in front of him and he was behind, so the effect of his words was not so good.
Nara Shikahisa sighed in his heart, and said: "Then the only candidates are Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru-sama, colleagues, please choose."
Soon, everyone wrote the Fourth Hokage in their hearts on the note, Nara Shikahisa was in charge of counting the votes, and he didn't dare to play tricks in front of so many people.
The number of votes was counted soon, Nara Shikuhisa felt helpless, but he could only open his mouth to announce the result: "Namikaze Minakamonin 45 votes, Orochimaru-sama 197 votes, and the fourth Hokage is Oroshemaru-sama."
