Marvel: Trading From Ninja World

Chapter 177 Sudden Hokage Election

"What's going on here, the sleeping consultant, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, then the Daming Mansion will re-evaluate the financial support for Konoha!"

The Fire Nation daimyo closed his fan with an angry expression on his face. Usually he used the fan to cover his face, but now he closed the fan to show his expression. It can be seen how angry the daimyo is now.

In addition to slowly controlling Daimyo of the Fire Country, black magic can also magnify the emotions in his heart.

"This matter will be thoroughly investigated by Anbu and the interrogation team. Please rest assured, Your Excellency, the Ministry of Finance, including the transfer consultant, will not miss a single one."

It's about funding and the support of the Daimyo, and Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't want to have more accidents. Although he has the title of Ninja, he is not as courageous as Second Hokage; if it is Senju Tobirama, he will definitely not be threatened by the Daimyo.

At worst, break the relationship on the spot, and let the daimyo be killed by bandits when he leaves the village.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen can't do it. He takes a fancy to his own reputation, dares not to fall out with the daimyo publicly, and doesn't want to cut off the financial support from the daimyo's government to Konoha, so he can only quickly admit his mistake and let it pass beforehand. Take it easy afterwards.

"When something like this happens, how can I trust Konoha again?"

The Fire Nation daimyo was still furious, obviously dissatisfied with the explanation given by Sarutobi Hiruzen, the few things that Kahn found out just now, there was a difference of hundreds of millions of taels, did this mean that the daimyo mansion was slaughtered like a pig?

Now it has changed from a personal problem of Sarutobi Hiruzen to a matter between Konoha and the Land of Fire. No matter who knows that he has been cheated of hundreds of millions of taels, it is impossible to remain indifferent, especially if the other party is a daimyo of a country.

Nara Shijiu desperately thought of a solution to the situation in his mind, but no matter how he thought, he couldn't think of a good solution.

Now he has no chance to intervene, the patriarch of the Nara clan? This identity is nothing in front of the fire country daimyo, he has not yet become the monitor of Jōnin class.

"Let's choose Hokage again!"

After the daimyo finished saying this, he covered his face with the fan again and closed his eyes.

This sentence was like thunder on a sunny day, and it exploded in everyone's hearts. Some Jōnin who were on the fringe had no idea that things would evolve to the point where Hokage was re-elected.

Like Kakashi who has been paddling, no matter how depressed he is, he can't help but look up at the daimyo after hearing this sentence, which means that Third Hokage has lost the trust of the daimyo.

Although Konoha has been building the village for a short time, the cooperation with the Fire Nation has always been close. It can be seen from previous wars that the Fire Nation's support for Ninja Village is definitely the first among the five Ninja Villages.

But now the daimyo says to re-elect Hokage.

For a while, the room was silent, and most of the Jōnin looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with an ugly face. At this time, his series of actions just now completely lost their effect.

There are only two choices now, either take a step back and let Hokage go; or be tough to the end, warn the fire country daimyo, and restore the majesty of Konoha Village.

It’s just that the latter will sharply break the relationship between Konoha and the Fire Nation, and some ninjas will not approve of Sarutobi Hiruzen’s approach, such as the guardian ninja Hatake Sakumo.

"Hiruzen didn't make a big mistake during his tenure. On the contrary, he made a lot of credit. To change Hokage just because of other people's mistakes, Konoha will never agree to such absurd thing!"

Danzo took two steps forward on crutches, his only remaining eye glowed coldly, fixedly staring at the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and warned him.

However, when Danzo saw Kahn who was smiling at the side, the hatred in his heart could not be suppressed. It was this person who caused him to become what he is today. contribute.

Kushina, who was sitting behind Tsunade, felt Danzo's malice towards Kahn, could not help but squeezed his fist and whispered: "Old bastard, sooner or later, I will beat you hard."

Facing Danzo's threat, the Fire Nation daimyo didn't care at all, or under the influence of black magic, the fear in his heart had been suppressed to the lowest level, "No matter what you say, unless a new Hokage is elected, the Daimyo's government will not be ashamed of the wood. Leaf support may be suspended for a period of time, including assignments"

After hearing Daimyo's words, not only Nara Shikaku, but also Tsunade and other Jōnin couldn't sit still; if Konoha had no financial support and task distribution, the village might collapse.

Danzo asked with a cold voice: "Are you threatening Konoha, Your Excellency!"

"I know you, Danzo, a disciple of Second Hokage; this is not a threat, but an ultimatum from the Daimyo House."

After the Fire Nation daimyo finished speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for Sarutobi Hiruzen's reply.

At this time, the room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard. Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to kill this reckless daimyo several times; but he did not have the courage and prestige of Second Hokage, even if he killed the daimyo of the land of fire After that, he couldn't keep everyone's mouths shut.

All the Jōnin didn't know how to speak, they seemed to be a spectator; even the ninja chief and Sannin in the front row didn't say a word.

Although Hyuga Hiashi is young, Grandmaster rests his mind. He sits there and closes his eyes to meditate. The other ninja chiefs, except Ino–Shika–Chō, all learn from the Hyuga patriarch, but they don’t have the tradition of the Hyuga clan. aristocratic etiquette gesture.

As for Sannin, Orochimaru watched the show the whole time except for warning Nara Shikaku, Tsunade kept frowning and biting his nails, Jiraiya fidgeted as if there were nails under the cushion.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen also guessed why the daimyo is so tough, his confidence lies in the next Hokage, or Orochimaru; when Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head to Orochimaru, the latter also smiled at him.

Orochimaru, I will never let you succeed!

After being quiet for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly: "...I understand what your lord daimyo means, five days later"

The daimyo suddenly interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said, "Aren't all the Jōnin in the village here? If Hokage is elected, when is it better than now?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but angrily said: "Isn't the Hokage election a trivial matter, daimyo, don't go too far!"

"It should be Konoha who is going too far. The Daming Mansion believes in Konoha so much, but what they get in return is deception!"

The fire country daimyo also slammed the table and yelled angrily, then picked up the evidence on the side and threw it in front; but he lacked strength and lack of skill, he threw it less than two meters and fell to the ground, not hitting Sarutobi Hiruzen at all.

However, this move by the daimyo also made most of the Jōnin present feel ashamed. What they learned in the ninja school is the supremacy of the employer and the ninja spirit; But instead of feeling proud, he lowered his head in shame.

'Blame Utatane Koharu and'

More than one person thought so, among the hundreds of Jōnin present, at least one-third of the ninjas had this idea.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced around, most of the Jōnin looked down, and couldn't find a few who supported him; as for Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, their reputations had been lost, and it would only increase the joke if they spoke again.

And Danzo is like a sick dog, no matter how happy it barks, it can't scare the fire country daimyo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly closed his eyes, and finally, as if he had let out a sigh of relief, he said, "Just do as Your Excellency Daimyo said, and hold the Hokage election now."

After saying this sentence, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to be ten years older.

The Hokage election is very simple. The only official election was when the First Hokage was elected. It happened to celebrate the establishment of the village at that time, so it was held more grandly.

Then, the Second Generation project directly inherited the position of Hokage by virtue of its strength and prestige, and then appointed Third Hokage on the battlefield. Speaking of which, there is no fixed process at all. After all, there are only three experiences, and each time is different, so there is no reference value at all.

Election The Fourth Hokage is also different from the former Third Hokage. Strong conflicts broke out between Daimyo and Konoha, and there was even a risk of separation. Under such circumstances, the Hokage election was held.

In fact, at Sarutobi Hiruzen's age, he is now in his prime.

"In terms of contribution, strength, etc., the people in the village who agree with Hokage candidates are Orochimaru-sama, Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-sama, and Namikaze Minato Jōnin."

Nara Lujiu said to everyone, Namikaze Minato is tied with Sannin at such a young age, but it is indeed enough in terms of military exploits and strength; Tsunade is so powerful that even Orochimaru can feel a headache.

"Because all the Jōnin are present, we tentatively set one vote for each person, twenty votes for the daimyo, three votes for the Minister of the Fire Nation, and the person with the highest number of votes is the Fourth Hokage."

This is the only way Nara can think of, he can only hope that Namikaze Minato will be more popular in the village.

However, the votes in the hands of the daimyo and the Minister of the Fire Nation were accidental. This was requested by the daimyo. Sarutobi Hiruzen and others did not ask, so Nara Shikajiu could not refuse.

Before Nara could finish speaking, Tsunade interrupted: "You don't need to add me, I recommend Orochimaru."

After Tsunade finished speaking, Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen's faces were very ugly; while the medical doctor Jōnin present nodded slightly as if he had received a signal, and some civilian ninjas who didn't know who to vote for seemed to have a target.

Jiraiya quickly said at this time: "I also abstain, I support Minato, he is the most suitable ninja for Hokage in terms of strength and quality."

If you abstain, just abstain, and canvass for votes! Tsunade gave Jiraiya a contemptuous look, typical of not admitting defeat.

But with Tsunade at the front and Jiraiya at the back, his words didn't work so well.

Nara Shikajiu sighed in his heart, and said: "Then the only candidates are Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru-sama, colleagues, please choose."

Soon, everyone wrote down the Fourth Hokage in their hearts on the note. Nara Lujiu was in charge of counting the votes, and he didn't dare to play tricks in front of so many people.

The votes were counted soon, Nara felt helpless, but could only announce the result: "Namikaze Minato Jōnin forty-five votes, Orochimaru-sama one hundred and ninety-seven votes, Fourth Hokage is Orochimaru-sama."

First update.

I have something to do during the day, and there are two or three shifts in the afternoon or night, so I'm writing desperately!

By the way, please count the votes!
