Konoha's magical power is invincible

December 21st was the day when Konoha's high-level meeting was held again.

Konoha's high-level meeting is held every Friday and is the highest-level meeting in Konoha.

On a normal day, representatives of major families, leaders of various departments, and a few elite jounin are very busy, while other jounin can take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of it.

But something was different today. All the Jonin in the village were fully dressed, gathering or dispersing, and heading towards the Hokage Tower.

Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived early.

He leaned back on his office chair and lit his pipe. Sparks bloomed and a trail of dust and smoke floated up.

There was no pen or papers on his desk, so he was not working.

The office is very quiet, as if time does not flow.

But time is absolute, fair, and moves forward forever and ever.

The smoke dispersed, and the office was gradually filled with the smell of tobacco leaves.

"Boom! Boom!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's somewhat groggy eyes suddenly lit up!

"Lord Hokage! Uchiha Shisui asks to see you!"

He couldn't help but stand up, and then quickly adjusted his mood, sat down, and straightened his body.

"Please come in!"

Shisui pushed the door open and entered the Hokage's office. He saw the slightly haggard Sarutobi Hiruzen and bowed.

"Hokage-sama!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen helped him, and then asked with concern: "How is it? Would Fugaku be willing to nominate you to be the Hokage's assistant?"

Shisui shook his head.

Sarutobi Hiruzen comforted: "It doesn't matter, I will nominate you then. Even if Uchiha does not support you, I will always support you."

Then there was a look of regret on his face, he shook his head and sighed: "What a pity, if Fugaku can also support you, then you will definitely be the Hokage's assistant in this election!"

Seeing this, Zhisui was filled with gratitude and said, "I'm sorry, I may have to live up to the Hokage's kindness! I am not going to participate in the selection of Hokage's assistant."

"What?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was so surprised that there was a thunderous explosion above his head, and he stared at Shisui blankly.

Shisui only arrived at Konoha Village yesterday. Even if Uchiha intended to recommend Shisui, there was not enough time to reconvene the meeting and notify the vassal ninjas.

Therefore, he did not expect Shisui to win Uchiha votes in the first place.

The reason why he is preparing to nominate Shisui in today's elder election is, on the one hand, to release goodwill to Uchiha who loves Konoha, and on the other hand, he wants to distract Uchiha's votes.

He never expected that Shisui would give up his candidacy for the Hokage's assistant election!

Seeing this, Shisui apologized and said: "Thank you, Hokage-sama, for your kindness! I don't have the qualifications and reputation now. If I become Hokage's assistant, it may not only fail to improve the villagers' impression of us Uchiha, but will make them hate Uchiha even more."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared into Shisui's eyes and asked, "Do you know how rare this opportunity is?"

Shisui looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen firmly and said in a serious tone: "The situation in Konoha is unstable now, and the Hokage's assistance should play a role in stabilizing people's hearts. For the sake of Konoha, Shisui has to live up to your good intentions!"

Looking at Shisui's thick eyebrows and big eyes, and listening to his righteous words, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who claimed to be the successor of the "Will of Fire", fell silent.

Taking the overall situation into consideration and aggrieved oneself, isn't this the best expression of "The Will of Fire"?

After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally sighed.

He walked up to Shisui, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I've wronged you! Who was nominated by Uchiha?"

Zhisui was silent when he heard this. He promised Qingkong not to leak the secret.

The office suddenly fell silent.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was angry that Shisui had betrayed him!

However, he still has his heart in mind, and Shisui is still of great use to him.

Therefore, he took the initiative to relieve the embarrassment: "It's okay, this is Uchiha's secret! I can understand you!"

After speaking, he sighed: "Hey, you Uchiha are still separated from the village!"

Zhishui said quickly: "I'm sorry, but..."

"It's okay!" Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, "You are you, Uchiha is Uchiha."

Shisui breathed a sigh of relief, Lord Hokage still trusted him.

After Zhisui made his decision, he was about to leave, "Hokage-sama, if there is nothing else, I won't disturb you!"

"Hold on!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and said: "Shisui, you are a very outstanding ninja! Although you cannot be my assistant, I still can't bear that you continue to waste time on ordinary tasks."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused and sincerely invited: "Are you... willing to join the Shadow Guard?"

Hearing this, Zhisui was stunned for a long time.

After coming back to his senses, Shisui immediately nodded excitedly and said: "Of course I am willing!"

The Shadow Guard is the elite escort team of Naruto. Its members are all personally selected by each Naruto. They are specially used to protect the safety of Naruto and perform the most dangerous tasks, such as capturing S-class traitor ninjas.

Because the Shadow Guards often protect Naruto personally, the Shadow Guards are usually considered to be Naruto's true direct descendants. In many cases, being able to join the Shadow Guards itself represents the Hokage's respect and trust in them.

In addition, the Shadow Guards are also potential backup candidates for Konoha's top brass. You know, all the high-level officials in Konoha today are members of the second-generation Shadow Guard.

Seeing Shisui's excitement, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction.

Then he clapped his hands.

A ninja who was waiting secretly appeared in the office and knelt down on one knee to listen to orders.

"Shinnosuke, take Shisui to go through the formalities and training!"

The ninja with the dog-faced mask didn't say much, nodded, then signaled Shisui with his eyes, and left the office in a flash.

Shisui followed immediately and disappeared into the office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen held his pipe in his mouth and started smoking again, his face uncertain.

After a while, Mito Monoyan pushed open the door and entered.

"Hiruzen!"

He smiled and said, "Get ready, the election is about to begin!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said expressionlessly: "Uchiha Shisui gives up his candidacy!"

Mito Kadoyan's expression changed drastically, "How is it possible? He actually gave up his position as an elder?"

He could not imagine that someone could give up the position of elder so close to him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly: "He said that the Hokage's assistant should play a role in stabilizing people's hearts. His current qualifications and reputation are not enough."

"They're all excuses!" Mito Kadoen said, "Then who are Uchiha going to nominate?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "He didn't say that!"

Mito Kadoen said coldly: "Uchiha are all immature wolves. I thought Shisui and Fugaku were exceptions. But now it seems that we were all wrong!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen responded with silence.

Mito Kadoyan finished venting, and then asked: "What about the election of the elders now? Won't Uchiha have a chance if he concentrates his strength?"

"It's just a quota, Uchiha just has a chance!"

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen added: "Even if Uchiha succeeds in the election, it is not necessarily a bad thing."

Mito Monohan nodded, success in the election would definitely offend Hinata and other ninjas.
