Hokage: Ryo’s Path - Chapter 254

[Chapter 253 Acting Hokage]

The first ray of sunshine in the morning scatters in Konoha Village, and the battle that lasted all night finally came to an end.

It was a heavy loss for Konoha last night. The villagers evacuated in time and there were not many casualties, but Chusunin sacrificed one-third to stop the nine tails.

Not to mention that there are hundreds of Bai Jue mixed into the crowd, Orochimaru is not fast in identifying Bai Jue, and this group of Bai Jue also caused huge losses to Konoha before they were found.

The most important thing is that Konoha lost the fourth Hokage Naruto Minato, who had just been in office for a year, and the fourth Hokage sacrificed himself, sealed the nine tails, and protected Konoha.

Namikaze Minato’s funeral is scheduled for two days later, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and Konoha Village can’t be without a village head for a day.

“What happened last night…”

“Sorry, the old man is late!” As soon as the three generations of Hokage spoke, Danzo pushed open the door and interrupted the three generations of Hokage.

“Danzo? What are you doing here?” Turning to bed Xiaochun asked with a frown.

“I called him here, and the group has the right to know what happened last night.” Mito Menyan replied lightly.

“Okay, since you’re here, sit down!” Seeing Danzo, the third Hokage hesitated for a moment and finally let him stay.

Danzo sat down next to Mito Kadome.

“Let’s go on, last night…”

“Sorry, sorry, we’re late!” This time Yamanaka Ryo and Kushina, who was holding Naruto, pushed the door in together, and the face of the three generations of Hokage instantly turned dark.

However, when the three generations of Hokage saw the child in Kushina’s arms, he remembered Minato Namikaze and sighed for the two to sit down.

Yamanaka Ryo and Kushina, mother and son, Hatake Sakumo, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru sat together.

Sandai Hokage did not rush to speak, but first swept a circle of people, and after confirming that no one was late, Sandai Hokage continued: “Everyone must know what happened last night and participated in it. On behalf of Konoha, thank you all yesterday. It was you who protected this village in the bloody battle of the night.” After saying that, the three generations of Hokage bowed to the crowd.

“Rizhan, you are too kind, protecting Konoha is our responsibility.” Mito Menyan said.

“Really? But why didn’t I see you in the fight last night?” Orochimaru refuted Mito Menyan uncharacteristically.

Yamanaka Ryo was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he saw Orochimaru taking the initiative to attack someone at this kind of meeting, and the expressions of others were also a little strange.

“Uncle Snake, you didn’t see it. It doesn’t mean that Elder Yan didn’t participate in the war. Yesterday, I sensed that Elder Yan had been protecting civilians in the shelter.”

Yamanaka Ryo has never liked Mito Kadori, let alone last night that he really sensed Mito Kadome running away and hid with the civilians.

Mito Menyan’s face was purple with Orochimaru and Yamanaka Yuanqi, everyone cast a contemptuous look at Mito Menyan, and the eyes of the three generations of Hokage were also full of disappointment.

But in the end, it was his old comrade-in-arms, the three generations of Hokage, who took the initiative to divert the topic: “Cough, let’s talk about other things later? Don’t forget that I called everyone here today for the Hokage problem.”

“Hisaki, do you mean to elect the fifth Hokage?” asked Xiaochun, who turned to bed.

“It depends on everyone’s opinions!” Three generations of Hokage kicked the ball to everyone.

Others began to discuss, and Yamanaka Ryo also established a spiritual connection with Jiraiya and others. A few minutes later, Yamanaka Ryo and the others reached a consensus.

The first person to speak was Hyuga Hizu: “Lord Sandai, I think it is possible to elect Hokage for the fifth generation, and I personally recommend Lord Jiraiya.”

“I have a different opinion. Lord Jiraiya is too detached to be a Hokage. Our Sarutobi clan recommends Lord Orochimaru!”

For a while, the scene was out of control, and each family was recommending their favorite Hokage candidates, and the ones they recommended were nothing more than Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Hatake Sakumo, and Danzo who did not know how many families they had bought.

Seeing that everyone was arguing about it, according to the plan negotiated with Yamanaka, Hatake Sakumo stood up and said, “This farce ends here, we are against the election of Hokage Five!”

The meeting room fell silent for a moment, and everyone did not expect that Konoha’s shadow class would collectively oppose the election of the Fifth Hokage.

After a while, the patriarch of the Sarutobi clan asked cautiously, “Then I don’t know what the adults think?”

“Let’s leave the fifth eye for now! We think we will choose an agent Hokage to handle the village affairs first, and after the adverse effects of the Nine-Tailed Night are eliminated, we will choose the fifth Hokage.” Yamanaka Ryo said lightly.

The representative of the small family who was bought by Danzo said: “If you represent Hokage, wouldn’t it be enough to have three generations of adults?”

“The old man has retired for a year, so don’t disturb him!” Zilai immediately objected.

The conference room was quiet again, and everyone looked at each other without saying anything. In the end, the ninja world is still determined by strength. Konoha’s shadow level is against it, and their discussions are useless.

Seeing that this matter was about to settle down, Mito Menyan couldn’t sit still. He knew yesterday that this meeting was related to Hokage.

Mito Menyan spent a lot of resources and bought more than half of Konoha’s small and medium-sized families, just to make Danzo become Hokage and make a comeback.

But now if he chooses an agent for Hokage, everything he has done will be in vain, and Mito Menyan stood up: “Humph! I object! How can a village as big as Konoha do without Hokage?”

“Then according to what Elder Yan said, who do you think is more suitable for Hokage of the five generations?” Yamanaka Ryo opened the kaleidoscope and used an illusion on Mito Gate Yan, asking him to speak his mind.

Yamanaka Ryo contact lenses, and there are no Uchiha clan members in the conference room, so no one found anything unusual.

After Mitomon Yan was caught in the illusion, he directly expressed his inner thoughts: “Of course it’s Danzo.”

When Yamanaka Ryo heard Danzo’s name, he pouted in disdain, and then the chakra in his body erupted: “When Hokage has strength, Danzo, do you think you can hold on to me for a few seconds?”

Danzo snorted and didn’t answer, Yamanaka Ryo used the most direct way to break his fantasy of Hokage.

After a few minutes of silence in the conference room, the three generations of Hokage said: “I understand everyone’s opinions. Judging from the situation just now, I still feel that there are more people who do not want to elect the five generations of Hokage. So I respect everyone’s opinions and decide first. An acting Hokage, what do you think about the candidate for acting Hokage?”

No one spoke this time, and everyone looked at Yamanaka Yuan and the others.

Yamanaka Ryo smiled, stood up and said, “I propose Hatake Sakumo to act as Hokage’s agent, what do you think?”

The representatives of each family, after discussing in a low voice for a while, most of them agreed, and Hatake Sakumo officially became the agent of Hokage.
