Lord God Investigator

Chapter 751 The new Hokage takes office

A month has passed, and the incident of Naruto and Sasuke's traitor continues to ferment, and its influence gradually expands. It is not just about making two little girls faint in tears and shocking the jaws of a lot of Konoha villagers.

These two people are important figures who deserve to have detailed files on the desks of all major ninja villagers for the big shots in the ninja world to read and study from time to time.

Naruto mastered a number of Konoha's forbidden arts. Legend has it that he used the "Plague Company's Art" to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen with a snap of his fingers. The Nuclear Spin Pill Art even razed the Chunin Examination Hall to the ground and blew up the Super Shadow. The Four Purple Flame Formation can only be defeated with one strike.

Sasuke is a strong man who can press tailed beasts to the ground and rub them. He can catch tailed beasts as easily as he can catch a chicken.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to try to hide this matter, but unfortunately Danzo, as the leader of Konoha's opposition party, is best at adding fuel to the fire when the ruling party is unlucky, and Naruto's defection was also expected by him. How could he miss a good opportunity to cause trouble for Sarutobi Hiruzen?

The day after the two defected, rumors spread in the Leaf Village. Sarutobi Hiruzen had planned to hide it, but it was exposed to everyone. It was Danzo's trick.

Rumors continued to spread in the Konoha Village. It was said that the two defected because they were persecuted by Hiruzen Sarutobi and had no choice but to escape. If they did not escape, they would be secretly arrested by the Anbu and taken to the prison island for tight confinement.

Many villagers have a question.

Why does Hokage-sama persecute these two promising young heroes?

The two of them were obviously the guardians of Konoha, and they had just accomplished great feats. How could they attack the hero for no reason?

The rumors were well fabricated, saying that Hiruzen Sarutobi persecuted them because they were too threatening to other ninja villages. Naruto's nuclear whirlpool was so powerful that it could blow up an entire town when used at full strength. Sasuke's King Kong sealed the secret Jutsu is the nemesis of the tailed beasts. If the other village's tailed beast jinchūriki were to be captured, the opponent would be unable to resist at all.

With the two of them here, the four major ninja villages were in panic all day long, and the balance of mutual restraint between the tailed beasts divided between the Senju Hashirama, the first Hokage, was also broken.

The shadows of the four major ninja villages jointly put pressure on Hiruzen Sarutobi, threatening to treat Konoha as a public enemy of the ninja world unless they arrest the two and abolish their ninjutsu. The four major ninja villages will definitely join forces to launch a war to attack them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the number one dove in Konoha, decided to put the overall situation first. He was afraid of destroying the hard-won peace, so he could only sacrifice the two of them to reassure the four great ninja villages. The operation to secretly capture the two of them failed. They sensed the danger and escaped from Konoha Village overnight.

This rumor became more and more true and became a hubbub. People in Konoha Village were talking about it. Some people said that Sarutobi Hiruzen had the right idea. Sasuke and Naruto were too selfish for not sacrificing themselves for the peace of the village. Others said People say that the two of them are obviously heroes, but they are treated like this, which is inevitable. It is human nature to run away. It is very inappropriate for Hokage-sama to do this...

Among those who thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea was right, there were also many who thought that Hokage-sama had a good idea but a bad approach. The ANBU ninjas attacked in groups, but they were able to escape. It was really stupid.

The people who fabricated rumors were very cunning, and no matter which angle the villagers argued about, it would highlight Sarutobi Hiruzen's incompetence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is also a mute who eats Coptis chinensis, unable to express his sufferings, and cannot find a good excuse to refute rumors.

He couldn't explain to the villagers how much of a threat Naruto was, and he didn't want to explain it. If he explained it too thoroughly, saying that Naruto was the main militant and had the ability to provoke a war in the ninja world and must be disciplined would be tantamount to slander. Naruto, the villagers whose public opinion was generally inclined to be war-weary returned to their original state of seeing him as a demon fox.

Naruto's letter made it very clear that he left Konoha in order to gather strength outside. If one day the coming of war was unfortunate enough, he would definitely step forward and do his best to protect Konoha.

If it was true as Naruto said, the Ninja World War broke out, and when Naruto returned to protect Konoha, he was greeted by the curse of the villagers. Wouldn't it chill his heart and make him hate Konoha?

Public opinion was boiling, but Hiruzen Sarutobi could still hold it back. After all, the villagers of Konoha liked to chew their tongues, so the rumors would subside on their own after spreading for a while.

However, the Dragon Chamber of Commerce's diplomatic protests and accusations of breach of contract put great pressure on him.

With a livid face, President Bredlow approached Hiruzen Sarutobi and asked him why he secretly arrested employees of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce. This was a breach of contract, as if the contract was nothing, disrespectful of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and dishonest.

In response, the Dragon Chamber of Commerce suspended the operation of all investment projects on the grounds that employee safety was not guaranteed. All factories were suspended, trading companies were closed, and the Dragon Chamber of Commerce's technical staff and managers were all withdrawn from the fleet.

The Dragon Chamber of Commerce has only invested in Konoha for more than a year. Konoha's indigenous technicians and managers have not been trained at all. The withdrawal of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce directly led to the complete shutdown of Konoha Village. The loss is still minor. A city with a million people has no When people manage scientifically, chaos suddenly arises.

Traffic paralysis, total water outage, power outage, deteriorating public security, poor market commodity supply chain, and citizens unable to buy daily necessities and food near their homes...

All these people's livelihood problems were concentrated on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk, and he simply did not have sufficient management knowledge and leadership skills to deal with them.

Within Konoha, the senior officials and Jonin who knew the inside story, with Danzo's encouragement, criticized Sarutobi Hiruzen, believing that he should not make such a fuss and secretly arrest an important young man like Naruto based on mere speculation. He was a talented person, but he ended up in a mess. It was not a big deal, but it turned into a big crisis.

Internal troubles have become so difficult, and foreign troubles are equally difficult to deal with. When the representative of Sunagakure Village, Ebizo, heard that Gaara, the Jinchuriki, had been kidnapped by Konoha's rebel ninja, he immediately declared that the agreement signed by the two parties was invalid and demanded that Konoha pay a large amount of compensation to compensate Sunagakure. The huge loss of the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki was hidden.

Ebizo's attitude was extremely tough, as if he didn't take the elite jounin captured by Konoha seriously at all, and showed a posture that he would rather sacrifice all the captured ninjas than give in.

This is actually because the Sauna team, who can cooperate with each other in airdropping nuclear sengan, left Konoha. The last obstacle for the four major ninja village coalition forces to attack Konoha has been cleared, and there is no need to worry about the ninja army being mass-destructed by Konoha. Ninjutsu bombing and heavy losses.

Having gained the confidence, Ebizo took the opportunity to attack and tore up the agreement.

Internal and external troubles came alternately, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was in an increasingly difficult situation. He was walking on thin ice every day, but he could not find a way out of the predicament.

Finally, driven by Danzo, the Konoha Advisory Group convened all elite ninjas and jointly made suggestions to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The suggestion was worded more euphemistically, meaning that Sarutobi Hiruzen was old and had low energy. He had been working hard day and night recently. If this continued for a long time, it would seriously affect his health. It was time to consider that it was time to retire and go home to take care of himself. It was best not to Love stack.

To put it bluntly, I hope that Hiruzen Sarutobi will "take responsibility" and resign to quell the Dragon Chamber of Commerce's accusations of breach of contract, attribute the responsibility for the breach of contract to himself, and assure the Dragon Chamber of Commerce that the new Hokage will not make the same mistake.

At the same time, Konoha's top brass believed that Sarutobi Hiruzen's dove faction was too clear-cut. Ebizo saw through this and took advantage of his weakness in not wanting to massacre prisoners, so he took a tough stance during negotiations.

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew very well that continuing to hold on would not bring any good results. He sighed secretly, adopted this suggestion, and announced his resignation as Hokage.

The position of Hokage is temporarily vacant, and the new Hokage has not yet been elected. The Dragon Chamber of Commerce issued a diplomatic note again, expressing its understanding for Konoha's unauthorized arrest of Naruto, and resuming the operation of Konoha Village's investment projects. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it immediately. , the Dragon Chamber of Commerce made it clear that it was targeting Sarutobi Hiruzen, and was extremely dissatisfied with his unauthorized arrest of Naruto.

Negotiations between Sunagakure and Konoha were also suspended and would be restarted after the new Hokage took office.

After defeating Hiruzen Sarutobi and sending his old rival home to retire, Danzo became full of will and thought that the position of Hokage was within reach, so he took the initiative to ask for help in the hope that Konoha's top management and elite jounin would support him in becoming the new Hokage.

This guy is very unpopular, and he is also a staunch militant who does not conform to the mainstream ideology of Konoha. If he is elected as Hokage, he will kill Sunagakure captives and sacrifice flags on the first day of taking office and declare war on Sunagakure on the second day.

As a result, his proposal to be the Hokage was rejected by a majority of votes. He was accustomed to harming others at the expense of Danzo himself. He cheated others as always, but he gained nothing.

As the outgoing Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen was qualified to nominate the next Hokage. After careful consideration, he nominated Jiraiya to the advisory board.

In the original plot, Jiraiya rejected the advisory group's request, thinking that he was not suitable, evaded the responsibilities that should have been borne by him, and found Tsunade to replace him.

This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the door in person and had a sincere talk with Jiraiya. He even knelt down and begged solemnly. He put down his body and begged Jiraiya, asking him to agree. Sarutobi Hiruzen could only rest assured if he became the Hokage. .

Seeing the white-haired master with age spots on his face tremblingly kneeling down to plead, Jiraiya couldn't say any excuses.

The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to capture Naruto secretly was that he secretly told the teacher about Naruto's war preparation plan. It had a lot to do with it. When things developed to this point, Jiraiya also had a big responsibility. Feeling guilty towards his teacher, Jiraiya could only nod in agreement and accepted the position of Hokage passed down to him by his teacher.

Sarutobi Hiruzen chose Jiraiya, on the one hand, because Jiraiya had a high prestige in the village, was popular, had seniority, and had made meritorious service in the war. Both hawks and doves supported him.

On the other hand, Jiraiya's own position is neither a hawk nor a dove, and he prefers to adapt to changes in order to cope with the increasingly complex situation in the ninja world in the future.

Sarutobi Hiruzen received reports from the ANBU and noticed frequent changes in the four major ninja villages. The position of the dove faction also began to waver. However, his label of dove faction had long been established, but he could not change the impression of the ninja clan in Konoha. It was too late to change the policy direction.

Finally, Jiraiya officially accepted Naruto as his disciple, and his relationship with Naruto was relatively close, and he also left a step for Naruto's future return.

Jiraiya, the fifth generation Hokage, stepped onto the stage of history. Hiruzen Sarutobi completed the last political game in his life. Finally, Danzo was not allowed to become Hokage as he wished. He thought he had selected the most suitable person in Konoha Village to be Hokage. man.

Sure enough, Sarutobi was not disappointed. On the day of the Hokage's inauguration ceremony, Jiraiya issued the first Hokage order, which brought a breath of fresh air to Konoha Village.

In front of the crowd of people in the dark downstairs of the Hokage's house, Jiraiya, who was wearing the Hokage's haori, spread his legs, stretched out his palms and spread his fingers, assuming a heroic posture, and shouted triumphantly: "From this day on, I will take office. , all women over the age of 18 in Konoha Village must wear see-through clothing... This is the Hokage's order! Anyone who doesn't wear it will be arrested by ANBU ninjas and sent to the prison island to work as coolies!"
