Chapter 38 Heroes and Scumbags

After Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down, he coughed slightly, attracting everyone's attention to him.

He spoke in a slightly lower voice: "Wherever the wooden leaves are flying, the fire is endless.

The fire will continue to illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout.

This is the spirit of fire that Konoha has been passing down since the founding of the Shodaime."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and said with full emotion: "The purpose of calling everyone here today must be clear.

As the Sandaime Hokage, I will step down as the Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village and entrust this important responsibility to the next one.

I hope that the successors, or everyone who is doing this, will not forget the inheritance of the Will of Fire."

There was some silence in the conference room.

At the moment when he resigned, Sarutobi Hiruzen was somewhat relieved. He had been sitting on the third generation's chair for too many years, and that responsibility and inheritance had been urging him not to take anything lightly.

He is getting old and maybe it is time to retire.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Jiraiya, who was sitting not far away, and Orochimaru on the other side, feeling complicated and difficult to calm down.

Finally, he withdrew his gaze: "Then, let's all speak freely and nominate the best candidate who is qualified to be the Fourth Hokage in your mind."

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire large conference room suddenly became a mess.

All kinds of noises were heard.

Bang!

Danzo slapped his face on the table and said with a dark face: "Jing Jing, we are all the only jounin left in Konoha, don't you understand any rules?

Come one by one!"

Danzo's words were so powerful that the noise immediately fell silent.

In a group of people, you look at me and I look at you, but no one dares to speak first.

At this time, a hand suddenly stretched out from the crowd.

Danzo glanced over there, his brows suddenly furrowed: "Stand up and say."

The deer man touched the mask on his face, and then pointed at himself: "Well, can I recommend myself?"

"..."

You could hear a needle drop in the conference room for an instant.

Are all the people in Gen so brave? Does this count as trying to undermine Danzo in person?

Danzo's face was even darker. It doesn't matter that you didn't canvass votes for me, but in the end, you did some tricks while voting?

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed: "If I remember correctly, you should be the one——"

Deerman immediately nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I am the 'one' you mentioned.

That scumbag you defined as someone who abandoned his companions, I didn’t expect you to still remember me, it’s really an honor for me, a scumbag.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth when he heard this, but no words came out.

He never expected that as soon as the meeting started, someone would start attacking him.

In order to weaken the influence of the family, Hiruzen Sarutobi used some unsightly methods.

He originally wanted to seize the opportunity to redistribute the authority and resources in the village.

Limiting family separatism and forcing some families to reallocate their monopoly resources will be more conducive to the healthy development of the village.

Just like the Will of Fire he just described.

Sarutobi Hiruzen hoped that everyone would start from the overall situation and take the interests of the village as the ultimate benefit, rather than being limited to personal gains and losses and the family's dissatisfaction.

So he will not regret this matter.

Sacrifice the small self to achieve the greater self!

In his opinion, there is nothing wrong.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent, subconsciously wanting to take a puff of a cigarette, but then he remembered that it was a formal occasion and he did not bring a pipe with him this time.

But his silence does not mean that others will be silent as well.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the role model of the Sarutobi clan, would never be allowed to be stained by others, not to mention that Sarutobi Hiruzen was still his father.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke slammed the table: "Can't those who abandon their partners for the mission be called scum?"

As soon as he said these words, the three Zhuludie family members suddenly felt a little unhappy. What specific situation do you have in mind?

Deerman glanced at him: "Who are you?"

"Jounin of Konoha, Shinnosuke Sarutobi."

Shikato groaned: "I have heard of your name. The Twelve Guardian Ninja who stayed at the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire during the war are said to be a very powerful Jounin of Konoha.

It’s a pity that I didn’t give you a stage to shine, what a pity.”

When Sarutobi Shinnosuke heard this, he immediately became angry. This was a blatant mockery of him.

But before he could get angry, Xiaochun turned to bed and slapped the table hard, giving him a step down at the right time: "Quiet! How unbecoming is it to be noisy! What kind of place is this!"

The deer man raised his hand and said, "Well, I have one more thing to say."

After going to bed, Xiaochun didn't have a good impression of the deer people who caused the dispute, and said impatiently: "Are you done yet?"

Deerman raised a finger: "Just one sentence, can't you?"

After going to bed, Xiaochun snorted and turned her head angrily to ignore him.

Deerman's eyes scanned around everyone present, and the old man was tugging at the corner of his clothes, telling him to be more honest.

Namikaze Minato also looked at him curiously. He actually had a good impression of Shikato's willful behavior, but he was more curious about what Shikato wanted to say.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing, and Danzo didn't speak either.

Shikato then said: "Shinnosuke Jounin, I only have one thing to ask you."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke said with a dark face: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't want to waste time with scum."

Shikato smiled: "I want to know, in your mind, is Hatake Sakumo, who gave up his mission and chose his partner, a hero or a scumbag?"

boom!

After saying this, the entire conference room fell completely silent as if it had been struck by lightning.

Almost everyone was staring at the deer man in astonishment.

How dare this guy ask such a question in front of the Sandaime, advisors, and elders?

Sarutobi Shinnosuke also had a look of astonishment on his face. He opened his mouth several times, but was still unable to utter the word 'hero'.

To say that Hatake Sakumo is a hero, nearly the entire village was slandering him.

Throughout the whole process, none of his father, senior advisors, or elders stood up to defend Hatake Sakumo, or even suppressed public opinion.

Otherwise, Hatake Sakumo would not have been driven to death by public opinion.

As a result, it was not until Hatake Sakumo's death that everyone seemed to wake up and public opinion suddenly bottomed out.

It's just that maybe it was because the situation was so bad before, so even if public opinion changed, it was only spread in a small area, and was suppressed by interested people, and was covered up without too much discussion.

.

Even Shinnosuke himself wouldn't believe it if his father and senior management did not acquiesce or even contribute to this matter.

To say he is a hero is to deny his father and the higher-ups in the village.

But if he said that Hatake Sakumo was a scumbag, how could he say it out loud like this!

Because Hatake Sakumo is indeed a hero in his mind.

What's more, he just denied the negative example of the Deer Man, and then turned around and denied the other side. Isn't this self-contradictory?

In the field at this moment, there was actually another person gritting his teeth and staring at the deer man's back.

Hatake Kakashi never expected that in such a place, he would talk about his father.

Unexpectedly, it has reached this point, and no one in the entire conference room has said a few simple words, "Hatake Sakumo is a hero."

Kakashi felt that what he had always believed in was beginning to break, and his eyes turned slightly red.

"Hatake Sakumo is a hero."

The seven cold words were spat out by Deerren lightly at this time, but - they were loud!

"There's no doubt about that."

With the words that sounded like thunder, Kakashi immediately stared at the deer man's back.
