Konoha's Frozen Vortex

Chapter 123 Three Generations of Hokage Succession Ceremony
On the day of Hokage's succession, crowds of people from Konoha Village gathered around the Hokage Building.

"In the name of the daimyo of the land of fire, I agree to Hiruzaru Sarutobi to become the new Hokage!"

With the support of his entourage, the stout Daimyo of the Fire Country announced to the respectful Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Thank you daimyo!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi took the bamboo hat with the word "fire" printed on it representing the symbol of Hokage, walked to the high platform of the Hokage Building, faced the crowded crowd below, put the hat on his head with both hands, and announced loudly:

"I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, from now on, I am the official Third Hokage!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Lord Three Generations!"

"Lord Hokage!"

The villagers below all responded with enthusiastic cheers, and for a while, Muye Village was full of lively atmosphere.

Xuehui stood on the top of a tall building, looked at Hiruzaru Sarutobi who was waving his arms downward on the Hokage Building, and said without turning his head:
"Now you are Hokage's disciples! This is more exciting than me, Uzumaki, how is it, what's the difference?"

Behind Xuehui, the young Sannin followed unexpectedly.

"Although Sarutobi-sensei has become Hokage, we are indeed very happy, but Uncle Xuehui, you are my relatives!"

Tsunade said playfully.

"I think, no matter whether it is a shadow or not, it is a teacher I respect."

Jiraiya looked at the high-spirited Sarutobi Hiruzen and said to Xuehui.

"Haha, I don't need you guys to comfort me. In my eyes, Konoha is indeed a good place, but I prefer the Uzushio Village where I was born and raised. And, I am confident that Uzushio Village will definitely No worse than Konoha!"

Xue Hui smiled proudly.

"Since the ceremony is over, I'll go first, you can do whatever you want, don't forget to take the time to congratulate your Sarutobi-sensei!"

Xue Hui left after leaving this sentence.

"Hey, Orochimaru, why have you been absent-minded recently?"

Jiraiya gently nudged the silent Orochimaru with his elbow.

"Jiraiya, don't disturb me, I haven't figured out the answer to the question that Mr. Xuehui asked!"

Orochimaru's thoughts were interrupted, and he glanced at Jiraiya.

"I said, Orochimaru, this is Sarutobi-sensei's big day, can you be more careful?"

Tsunade also said helplessly.

"You guys won't understand, Mr. Xuehui's real strength is not in ninjutsu."

Orochimaru shook his head, and answered the wrong question.

Jiraiya and Tsunade looked at their teammates who had become bewildered, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

The next day, Xuehui found Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Looking at the corner of the other party's mouth that was still smiling, Xue Hui said with a smile:

"Ri Zhan, it looks like you're in a good mood, but unfortunately I'm going to break your good mood!"

"Haha, I know why you're here, Xue Hui, I'm afraid you can't wait for the negotiation with the Vortex Kingdom!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't mean to be unhappy at all, and he still had room to tease Xuehui in turn.

"Yeah, I'm not used to such a leisurely life now, it's better to go back to Uzumaki Village as soon as possible to live my busy life."

Xue Hui said along the way.

"OK then."

Sarutobi found an Anbu and ordered:
"Call Danzo and let him come to me."

"Yes!"

Anbu activated and disappeared instantly.

"Where are Yan and Xiaochun?"

Xuehui asked.

"They're right next to Daimyo, and they'll come over later."

"What is Danzo doing? Why isn't he coming over?!"

After waiting for a long time, Xue Hui and Ri Zhan didn't speak, but Xiaochun, who was later turned to sleep, started to complain.

"Then don't wait, Xuehui, what do you think?"

Seeing this, Ri Zhan proposed.

"Okay, anyway, you are Hokage, aren't you?"

Xue Hui smiled, and then said his plan.

"Since the Uzumaki Clan and I provided help to Konoha in the last Ninja World War, I would like to make a few requests—"

"First, Konoha will continue to sign an alliance agreement with Uzushio Village to help each other."

"Second, the trade between the two parties is exempt from tariffs, and Konoha's merchants have to give priority to hiring the fleet of the Uzumaki Kingdom when they go to sea."

"Thirdly, Konoha needs to provide some material assistance to Ushio Village to help the construction and development of Uzuo Village."

"Fourth, the free movement of people from the two places must not be prevented. Uzumaki Village can send people to Konoha for inspection and study on a regular basis."

"fifth……"

Xuehui listed the content one by one, and Hizhan and the others representing Konoha showed no signs of impatience. They quietly recorded Xuehui's request, and wrote something on it from time to time.

"Okay, we have roughly understood your needs, and now it's your turn to listen to our requirements."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi picked up a piece of paper that was put aside, and it seemed that he was not unprepared.

"Xuehui, we don't have many demands, because the country of Uzumaki doesn't have much what Konoha wants, and this time we need to pay for it."

"So, we just ask you to provide some content of the sealing technique and put it on the Book of Sealing."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi said to Xuehui

"The sealed book?"

Xue Hui asked curiously.

"This is a secret scroll with the main body of ninjutsu developed by Record Hashirama-sama and Togama-sensei."

Ritsu replied.

"Besides, as you who have learned many forbidden techniques from Tokaima-sensei, we hope you can complete some of them and write down your own experience."

Mitomon added.

"I understand. This is not a problem. As for the sealing technique, I need to discuss it with Aunt Mito, and I will ask you what types of sealing techniques you want to trade."

Xue Hui nodded in agreement.

The tacit understanding between the same sects allowed the negotiations to proceed very quickly. The first phase of the negotiations ended with the result of the two sides making initial demands on each other.

Next, is the tug-of-war of details.

However, the two parties who already have a general understanding of the requirements of both parties do not feel that there will be a big contradiction.

"Oshemaru? Are you here to find Hirizan?"

Xuehui, who walked out of the Hokage Building, saw Orochimaru standing aside, and said hello.

"No," Orochimaru shook his head, "I'm here to find you, Teacher Xuehui."

"I?"

Xue Hui pointed to himself, then smiled and said: "Okay then, you come with me."

Xuehui brought Orochimaru to an unmanned training ground.

"Tell me, there's no one here."

Xuehui said.

"Teacher Xuehui, I know what I should learn from you."

Orochimaru took a deep breath and made up his mind.

"Oh? Tell me, I'll listen to it and give you an answer."

Xuehui crossed his arms and looked at Dashewan curiously.

"I don't want to learn any ninjutsu, or rather, I want to learn all of them, but compared to ninjutsu, I want to learn what is more interesting to me, your knowledge about the principles of the world."

Orochimaru summoned up his courage and said.

　A word of caution: There will be app recommendations starting tomorrow.Thanks for everyone's support!
