Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki - Chapter 267
c267 The Fourth Hokage and Ghost Lantern City
As advisory elders, Koharu Koharu, Mito Menen and Danzo each have veto power. Nara Shikaku was also appointed as the Jonin squad leader because of his outstanding performance in the war. In theory, except for the ANBU ninjas, all the other jounin must be managed by Nara Shikaku, and their power is no less than that of Uchi. Leaders of wealthy clans such as Namifugaku and Hyuga Hizatsu. Therefore, Nara Shikaku also has veto power.
Afterwards, the four of them went on the road together and arrived at the capital of the Fire Country, the daimyo’s mansion. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire sat at the head of the table, holding a fan in his hand and shaking it gently. However, he spoke in a effeminate manner and did not seem to be a strong person. Sarutobi Hiruzen and others sat on the left side of the daimyo, while the ministers under the daimyo sat on the right side, clearly distinguishing themselves. After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Hiruzen Sarutobi proposed to resign as Hokage.
“What a pity. The third generation has done a pretty good job.” Daimyo said briefly, and then looked down at the information on several Hokage candidates in front of him. “Is there a suitable candidate? How about Orochimaru?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered, “Orochimaru has indeed made great achievements on the battlefield, but he has ambition and malice in his eyes. You cannot entrust the responsibility of Hokage to such a person!” Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a cold face, Naruto The position was of great importance. In order for Namikaze Minato to ascend the throne smoothly, he had to say that Orochimaru was useless, even if such words were spread, it would hurt Orochimaru.
“Oh? The Sandaime is really strict, why are his own disciples so inhumane?” The daimyo said with a sweet smile, “As far as I know, Uzumaki Shirataki is very powerful, and he has a very good relationship with little Tsunade, I don’t know. he”
Xiao Chun quickly interrupted when he went to bed, “Daimyo, Uzumaki Shirataki did not run for the position of Hokage. Moreover, he and Tsunade have already lived in seclusion, so I am afraid they will not agree to this matter.”
The daimyo said with regret, “That’s a pity, I still want to meet this master.” Speaking of this, the daimyo asked in a low voice with a gossipy face, “When will the marriage between Tsunade-chan and Shirataki Uzumaki be held? They are now grown up, and mother is always thinking about little Tsunade’s marriage.”
It is worth mentioning here that Tsunade is the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama and Uzumaki Mito. The daughter of Senju Tobirama and Uzumaki Mito married the previous daimyo, the father of the current daimyo, so the current daimyo is Tsunade. Brother of the hand.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and others were suddenly in a dilemma. They didn’t know how far the relationship between Tsunade and Shirataki had developed, and now they couldn’t answer the daimyo’s question.
Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed a few times and changed the subject, “Daimyo, let’s talk about business now. I recommend Namikaze Minato!”
Mito Gate also immediately explained for the daimyo, “Namikaze Minato is an elite ninja known as Yellow Flash!”
“Oh~” The daimyo became excited when he heard this. During the Third Ninja War, which lasted for several years, two of the heroes who emerged from Konoha were the most conspicuous. One was Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas. One is the yellow flashing wave Feng Minato.
As a daimyo of the Land of Fire, he had naturally heard of Yellow Flash’s deeds. He found out information about Namikaze Minato. He was strong, good-natured, of innocent origin, and was supported by countless Konoha villagers. The more he looked at it, the happier he became.
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly stood up and said loudly, “Namikaze Minato won the Battle of Kanna-kun Bridge and was a major contributor in leading the end of the Third Ninja War! Regardless of merit, qualifications, or character, it is enough Take on the important role of Hokage!”
But the daimyo did not listen to Hiruzen Sarutobi’s words. Instead, he covered his face with a fan and asked in a sweet voice, “What do other people think?”
Nara Shikaku was the first to respond, “I recommend Namikaze Minato!” Koharu and Mito Katobu looked at each other and nodded in unison. After reading the information about Namikaze Minato, the Minister of Fire Country on the right made eye contact with each other and nodded.
The daimyo closed his eyes and nodded slowly. In this way, the Fourth Hokage was established.
Back in Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately called Minato Namikaze and informed him to prepare to succeed the Hokage. On the other side, Danzo also received the news that Namikaze Minato was about to take office, and he immediately had Orochimaru called to the ward.
“The third generation’s original intention was to use Minato as a puppet and hide behind the scenes to control Konoha!” Orochimaru said casually while looking at the experimental information in his hand.
“With this approach, Konoha will have no future at all. The village does not belong to Hiruzen Sarutobi alone!” Danzo agreed with Orochimaru’s statement, but he is now seriously injured in bed and cannot take advantage of many things. .
“Don’t worry, as long as this research is successful, controlling the power of Konoha Village will be easy.” Orochimaru put down the experimental materials in his hand, and a fierce look slowly appeared in his golden vertical pupils. “In order to control power, use some appropriately.” Tough tactics are understandable!”
Danzo hummed, “When the time comes, you must do whatever it takes!” Unfortunately, the time has not yet come, and we don’t know when it will.
Ever since he received the permission from the daimyo, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to hand over to Namikaze Minato. This heavy responsibility that related to the entire village was finally handed over to Namikaze Minato after several months of long handover.
Two days later, the wind was fine and the sun was shining, and the warm sunshine poured down on the entire Konoha. In front of the Hokage Building, the streets were deserted. Countless civilians gathered here, stretching their necks to look at the rooftop of the Hokage Building.
Namikaze Minato was wearing the newly made Hokage Hagoromo, looking heroic, and was handing over to the third generation. Sarutobi Hiruzen took off the hat representing the Hokage on his head and silently handed it to Namikaze Minato opposite.
Minato Namikaze took it respectfully, bowed his head and put it on. Behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, Koharu, Mito Kado, Jonin squad leader Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, Yamanaka Kaiichi, Aburame Shimi, Inuzuka Kuma and others stood in a row. These people , all of them are supporters of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and after today, they will be his supporters of Namikaze Minato! Kushina stood on the side, her long red hair tied into a ponytail, looking at Namikaze Minato proudly, with a bright smile on her face.
After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally said, “From now on, the village will be counting on you, Yondaime!”
“I am willing to give my life!” Namikaze Minato solemnly said his short but powerful oath.
Then, he slowly walked to the rooftop, took off his Hokage hat, and accepted the cheers from the villagers!
In an instant, cheers, whistles, screams, blessings, mating calls, all kinds of sounds converged into a sound wave.
Uchiha Fugaku stood on the roof of his mansion holding Itachi, listening to the cheers in front of the Hokage Building from a distance.
Hinata sat on her knees in the courtyard, drinking tea, with an attitude of staying out of it.
Orochimaru, who was hiding in the darkness of the corner, looked at Namikaze Minato with cold eyes.
Ghost Lantern City in the Country of Grass.
Ghost Lantern City is notorious throughout the Kingdom of Grass and is a veritable city of criminals. The owner of this sinful city is a man named Wuwei.
The reason Wuwei was able to rule the city powerfully as the city lord and control those extremely vicious criminals was essentially because he mastered an extremely powerful sealing technique. As long as he is hit by this technique, even the tailed beast cannot break away easily. Wuwei’s strength is much stronger than ordinary people imagine. The reason why his name is not spread in the ninja world is his low-key acting style, his never fighting against shadow-level strong men and tailed beasts, and his lack of record. one. Of course, Wuwei himself doesn’t value those false reputations at all.
Wuwei walked in the city with an indifferent expression. The criminals who were fighting each other were still shouting and fighting. After seeing Wuwei, they suddenly became silent, with looks of resentment and fear on their faces.
At this time, a strong man rushed out and said with a ferocious expression, “Wuwei, I want to challenge you!”
“Okay, I like challenges. According to the agreement between you and me, if you beat me, you can leave here.” Wuwei nodded casually and stood directly in the center of the square.
The strong man raised his fist and roared at him, but Wuwei just kicked him away with a light kick.
“Asshole, if my chakra is not sealed, I can kill you with one move!” The strong man was obviously very dissatisfied. More people couldn’t hold back and rushed towards Wuwei, but they were all easily defeated by Wuwei. These people were all affected by the sealing technique and were unable to use chakra. They had essentially become a group of stronger ordinary people and could not possibly be the opponents of a strong person like Wuwei. In addition, there are a large number of ninjas stationed in Ghost Lantern City. As long as the guy is caught, there is no chance of escaping.
After solving these tool men, Wuwei planned to make a last ditch effort. If he stuffed all the criminals into the Bliss Box and still couldn’t get the Bliss Box to open, then he would have no choice but to ask for help from outside.
Wuwei summoned all the ninjas, came to a huge building, and threw criminals in one after another. On the other side of the huge portal, there seemed to be an all-devouring monster, devouring living people one after another. The wails of the criminals paved the way for inaction ambition.
“Master Wuwei, we have invested 90% of the criminals, but we still can’t open this thing.” A ninja knelt on the ground tremblingly.
Wuwei looked at him with cold eyes. The ninja couldn’t help but shiver, and the ninjas around him also looked strange. Wuwei really planned to stuff these ninjas in, and he even planned to throw his son into the Box of Bliss, but he didn’t do it in the end.
“The Box of Bliss is our only chance to get out of the weak predicament. Otherwise, with our own strength, it will be impossible to gain a foothold in the ninja world! In this case, let’s give up for the time being. I have found other methods, although it is very risky.” Wuwei snorted coldly and immediately gave the order to issue a bounty mission to the underground bounty house.
This made the other ninjas breathe a sigh of relief and immediately went to carry out their mission.
Recently, a large number of strange guys have entered this city. For this reason, Wuwei even went against the norm and opened the door directly, allowing entry but not exit. Anyone who comes in will not be allowed to leave here. Some of the troublemakers were even lucky enough to be attacked by Wuwei, and their bodies were sealed with sealing techniques. They were unable to use chakra and were imprisoned in Ghost Lantern City.
Some people showed uneasy expressions, and some smart people’s eyes rolled, wondering if they could take the opportunity to escape, but they had all had their chakra sealed, and they couldn’t even defeat the genin, let alone escape.
At this moment, someone else walked in slowly. The leader was stooped, wearing loose robes, and a huge hood covered his head so that no one could see his face. There were several people behind him who also lowered their heads, hiding their faces.
One of them whispered, “Elder Setsuna, let’s come here.” This stooped man was Uchiha Setsuna who had interacted with Black Zetsu before. At this time, his eyes had been equipped with Obito’s Mangekyō Sharingan, and his two scarlet eyes were constantly scanning the situation in the city.
