Konoha: Opening Binding Namikaze Minato

Sarutobi clan land.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was covered in mud, dragged his tired body and entered the house with a gloomy look on his face.

Because the incident happened suddenly, many people in the Sarutobi clan did not know what was happening in the outside world, and some were even still sleeping.

What? The village was attacked? It's okay, our clan leader is the Hokage, so if anything happens it won't affect us.

Go to sleep, sleep with peace of mind!

On the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen's residence was brightly lit at the moment, and Biwako, who had learned some news, was pacing back and forth in the living room with little Asuma in her arms.

I don’t know if it’s the connection between father and son, but little Asuma has been crying since a while ago, no matter how much Biwako coaxes her, it’s no use.

Biwako was already very anxious, and little Asuma's crying made her even more irritable.

But she had to devote some of her energy to coaxing Asma, hoping that he would calm down.

It wasn't until Lake Biwa saw her lost eldest son that she put down Asuma, rushed to Shinnosuke, and asked impatiently:

"How is the situation? Where is your father? He is fine..."

Halfway through his words, Biwako noticed that something was wrong with Shinnosuke's face and that he was so dirty...

Biwako trembled in her heart, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in her heart, and she stammered: "What the hell is going on? Looking at you, could it be that something happened to your father?"

Shinnosuke opened his mouth, wanting to speak but couldn't, and finally nodded silently.

"Something really happened?" Biwako excitedly grabbed Shinnosuke's arms, looking anxious, "Your father is injured? Who did it? Is the injury serious?"

Shinnosuke raised his head slightly and looked into Biwako's eyes, then glanced at his younger brother who was lying on the crib crying loudly, his mouth full of bitterness.

What to do? Do you want to say it?

Don’t tell? Sooner or later the news will reach my mother’s ears.

Say? He was a little unable to speak.

Finally, under Biwako's continuous questioning, Shinnosuke had no choice but to say: "Mother, can you summon the monkey demon?"

Biwako didn't expect Shinnosuke to say this suddenly, so she was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "No, the monkey demon is your father's exclusive psychic beast. No one can summon it except him. Why do you suddenly ask this?

"

Suddenly, a terrible thought occurred in Biwahu's mind.

Could it be...

No, impossible, absolutely impossible!

Hiruzen is the Hokage. He is so strong and he is in the village. There is no way anything will happen to him!

"Tell me quickly, what happened to your father!?" Biwahu said coldly, controlling her slightly trembling body.

In fact, from the way Shinnosuke said he was caring, she had vaguely figured out the answer, but she didn't want to believe that answer no matter what.

Because that would be an answer she couldn't bear!

Not only her, but the entire Sarutobi family may not be able to accept it.

However, what Shinnosuke said next confirmed her suspicions.

"My father...is missing. Together with the two advisors and Danzo, no useful information can be found at the scene, nor can I find any information about my father...Based on the information currently available, it is speculated that my father is missing."

It's very possible that he's already...dead."

After saying that, Shinnosuke's tears that he had finally stopped started flowing down again. At the same time, little Asuma's cry became even louder, as if it was going to lift the roof off.

boom!

Turbulence arose in Lake Biwa's mind. She let go of Shinnosuke's arm and stumbled back. Her eyes glowed with disbelief. She kept shaking her head and kept saying: "No, it's impossible. Hiruzen will never stop him."

Nothing can happen!"

"Yes, he just disappeared. Maybe he will come back tomorrow. Yes, he will come back tomorrow... he will come back."

Gradually, the light in Biwahu's eyes lost, and it was as if something had been taken out of her body. She leaned against the wall weakly, her face lost its former luster, and she kept mumbling something.

······

The other end.

Hokage Building, conference room on the second floor.

As soon as Yanmen said "I agree", the entire conference room fell silent instantly.

You can hear the needle drop!

The person who was having a heated discussion just now seemed to be waking up from a dream. Yes, why did you forget that this person is still here? His opinions cannot be ignored.

Yanmen looked around and saw everyone shutting up, and he continued: "I know it is inappropriate to discuss the candidate of the Fourth Hokage now, but everyone, we must prepare for the worst, just in case...

Has he really encountered something unexpected in the first or third generation?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes moved slightly.

Yanmen continued: "Of course, I am talking about just in case. But even if it is just in case, we have to treat it carefully. Now is the time of war. In order to prevent turmoil, we must be fully prepared!"

"At this time, the whereabouts of the Third Hokage are unknown. We urgently need a leader who can bring a sense of security to everyone! Only by confirming the candidate for the Fourth Hokage can the village and the front line not be in chaos!"

After Yanmen's statement, the attitudes of many people present quietly changed. Although some people still expressed opposition, the voices of support have overshadowed the voices of opposition, and far exceeded it.

Finally, the meeting entered the next stage, which was to discuss the candidate for the next Hokage.

In fact, there is no need to discuss it. Currently, there are only a few people who are expected to compete for the Fourth Hokage, including Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Hatake Sakumo.

Of course Yanmen also has this qualification, and he has a high chance of winning. After all, strength is everything in many cases, not to mention that he also possesses the iconic Wood Release of the first Hokage.

However, Enmon has just told everyone that he does not intend to participate in the election of the Fourth Hokage.

As soon as these words came out, many people present felt disappointed.

To be honest, if Yanmen becomes the Hokage, it will undoubtedly be a great thing for Konoha. With such a powerful Hokage, everyone will feel very proud and safe.

What a pity!

But these people soon calmed down.

It's also a good thing that Yanmen doesn't participate in this election. After all, he is so young and not mature enough in all aspects. Everyone is also worried about what trouble he will cause.

Moreover, Yanmen is only twelve years old this year. Even if he waits another ten or twenty years, he will still be twenty or thirty years old. There is still a lot of time in the future.

With this thought, everyone felt relieved and began to discuss who was more suitable to become the Fourth Hokage.

Among the several candidates, Tsunade and Orochimaru naturally have the highest voices.

Needless to say, the former is not only the granddaughter of the first and second generation, but also the disciple of the third generation and the top medical ninja in Konoha. Countless ninjas have received her favor. In addition, she also "taught" the Namikaze Flame Gate.

A powerful disciple.

These few points alone are enough for Tsunade to gain huge support.

Speaking of Orochimaru, his status is naturally not as good as that of Tsunade, but his status as a disciple of the Third Hokage is enough, and everyone knows that Orochimaru is the most valued disciple of the Third Hokage, and most of those "Three Generations Party" support Orochimaru.

Pill.

In addition, Orochimaru's personal charm cannot be ignored. Even without the support of the "Three Generations Party", his approval rate is still not low.

Yes, Orochimaru does look a bit disgusting and perverted, but his charm attributes are really a bit confusing. He has a lot of little fans. I don’t know, but I thought he had some kind of "life mentor"

"Halo.

The two people with the highest voices are both disciples of the third generation. Needless to say, the remaining one, Jiraiya...well, well, it seems that not many people support him. Those who mention Jiraiya are probably just

I mentioned it in passing, but I didn't see them say anything else after that.

Thinking about it, Jiraiya has always given people the impression that he is unreliable. How can such an unreliable person become Hokage?

Okay, actually it is still possible, but now it’s not like I don’t have a choice, so why does it have to be Jiraiya?

Finally, there is Hatake Sakumo. As the ANBU minister, most of his supporters are from the ANBU. Although there are not many people, every one of them is an elite.

However, although they support Hatake Sakumo, their performance has always been very calm, unlike the supporters of Tsunade and Orochimaru, who are filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

At this time, it is the time when a person attains enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, so naturally no one will be allowed to do so.

What? You said Yanmen is here?

Sorry, this is fair competition. Your Namikaze Flame Clan is so powerful, is it possible that you can kill us?

Suddenly, someone said: "I propose that Lord Orochimaru be transferred back."

Everyone was quiet for a while, but then the quarrel became more intense.

"Yes, yes, Tsunade-sama is coming back too."

"What? You still want to call Jiraiya back? Don't think about it! The last time he stayed in the Land of Rain for so long, it almost caused problems on the front line, and we haven't settled the accounts with him yet! The Fourth Hokage, I think he

Don't think about it."

"Sakumo-sama...it seems that the Kumogakure battlefield cannot be separated from him. If he leaves, then who will resist the Raikage?"

"It's funny! Sakumo-sama can't leave, but can Tsunade leave?"

"Iwagakure also needs Orochimaru to preside over..."

"Nonsense, it's not just Orochimaru-sama who is responsible for Iwagakure, there is also..." The man suddenly got stuck in the middle of his sentence.

Everyone: "..."

"??" Yanmen slowly typed two question marks, "Why are you looking at me? Do you think I will go back and replace Orochimaru?"

"Ahem, don't look at me. Ohnoki and I have made an agreement that if I don't take action, he won't take action either, so only Orochimaru can take control of Iwagakure."

"It's okay. If that's the case, then you can go to Kumogakure's side, just in time to get Tsunade-sama back." A Jonin who supported Tsunade said with his eyes lit up.

"No!" Orochimaru's supporters immediately jumped out to object.

It's okay for Tsunade to come back, and Orochimaru must come back. This is their bottom line, otherwise they won't agree.

Since it is a competition, there is no reason that one can return to the village but the other cannot. If this is the case, then there is still competition!

Everyone quarreled endlessly, and finally, with their necks crossed, they all looked at Nara Lu Ming and said, "Squad leader Lu Ming, please say something."

On the seat, Nara Luming rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, then turned his gaze to Yanmen and asked: "Yanmen-kun, what do you think?"

Noise, noisy, noisy, no matter who is replaced or not, in the end it is not about whether Yanmen is willing, especially those supporters of Orochimaru. No matter how happy you are, if Yanmen is not willing, what can you do?

He was Tsunade's disciple, so he didn't need to guess. He could tell who the Yan clan was more inclined to by just thinking with his toes.

Moreover, he had just observed carefully that Tsunade's supporters were obviously more than Orochimaru's supporters.

In the past, Tsunade's approval rate was at most the same as Orochimaru's, and Orochimaru's approval rate was even higher, but who could have imagined that the Namikaze Flame Clan would suddenly rise to prominence.

After several battles, the prestige of the Namikaze Enmen had already been raised to a very high level. When he wanted to express his support for Tsunade, the scale of victory had actually tilted. This was clearly seen by Nara Shimonei.

Similarly, Orochimaru's supporters may not have thought of this, but they still want to give it a try. Again, it is now that chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Otherwise, those who are close to Orochimaru will definitely wait until Tsunade comes to power.

will be pushed to the fringes of power.

Although it is a bit cruel, this is the reality. There is only so much power, and if everyone shares it, that is what everyone controls. Why should we give it to someone who is not my faction?

······

Nara Luming would ask for his opinion. Yanmen had already expected it, so he said calmly: "I think it won't be so troublesome to ask Tsunade-sensei and Orochimaru-senpai to come back."

Yanmen paused and said with a smile: "Let's just vote and see who gets the highest number of votes. Why make it so complicated and troublesome?"

"You think so?"

Voting, of course, does not include all ninjas. Those who can participate in voting must be special jounin, chuunin, genin, etc. Their opinions are not that important, especially the villagers. They only need to vote on the final result.

Just tell them.

As for why Enmon said voting, it was of course because he was sure that Tsunade would win!

Not long ago, when he asked Uchiha Tenguang to spread the news about Danzo's crimes, Uchiha Fenghuo said that Uchiha was willing to stand by Yanmen in the future.

Of course, Uchiha's decision to seal the fire was not made by him alone. For this reason, he even held a clan meeting and finally made this decision.

Now with the support of the Uchiha clan, and the Hyuga clan who had expressed their stance a long time ago, Tsunade has basically taken care of the Inuzuka and Aburame clans.

In addition, there is the original background of the Senju clan, which also includes many small ninja clans, civilian ninjas, etc. Taking a general calculation, Tsunade can almost be said to win.

Moreover, Yanmen believes that at this moment, the three clans of Pig, Deer and Die will also make the right choice.

In this case, what does Tsunade have to lose? With a pair of kings and four twos in hand, the position of the Fourth Hokage has been firmly established on the Diaoyutai, okay?

Otherwise, why would Yanmen propose a vote?
