Hokage: Ten-year-old Kaleidoscope, the beginning of betraying Konoha

Don't underestimate any of the elders.

Even if it was such a big battle, even if so many [Demigods] fell.

But still none of the elders died suddenly...

Even Lingshi can escape from the hands of that 【Zhenruo King】!

It is enough to see the excellence of every elder.

You can't expect these [elders of the same family] who stand out from the hundreds of billions of Datongmu people and step on the sea of ​​corpses and blood to be the top, but they are idiots, right?

Although Ling Shi, who had survived the catastrophe just now, was still undecided.

It was only under Natsume's strong persecution that he suffered a bit.

But now that he has stabilized his emotions, he naturally wants to understand many key points.

The reason why Lingshi is so passive now is purely because he has failed.

It is also good to act rashly;

Want to monopolize credit worth mentioning;

Neither is wrong.

The only thing wrong was that I failed and failed to capture the [Remnant of the Demon God Soldier]!

If it succeeds, then the small flaws before are not worth mentioning at all!

【Our House Council】It was originally a place to pursue interests, resort to power, and finally get results!

and so.

At this moment, Lingshi figured out the mind of the Great Elder Xushi.

Without making any excuses, he admitted his failure in a short and concise way...

In the same way, there is a rhombus as an example.

As the next elder, Qiongshi will not be so stupid as to make excuses for himself.

He also simply admitted his mistakes and accepted the punishment.

"very good."

"It's good to know what's wrong."

"Although you have failed, your original intentions are still good;"

"I support any behavior that is in the overall interest of [Parliament]."

"Therefore, the punishment this time can also be mitigated as appropriate."

"I propose that Elder Lingshi be deprived of the position of the top seat and downgraded to the next three seats to replace the position of Elder Paradise!"

"Will the elders vote?"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

...

Soon, the vote passed unanimously.

All 13 votes, including the rhombus type, were in favor (the chief virtual type has three votes, and the upper seat and the next seat each have two votes)

So far, the Otsutsu Muling-style elders have been downgraded from [upper six seats] to [lower three seats].

So descending.

For an elder of the family, it can be regarded as traumatic.

After all, the treatment, power, resources, prestige, etc. of the lower elders are lower than those of the upper elders.

But in the end, he still retains the position of elder, and it is still possible to be promoted back in the future.

It can be regarded as a small punishment.

then.

Similar votes on change of seats were carried out four more times.

Datongmu Mingshi, Suishi, Qiongshi, and Qiongshi; the four elders were all punished, and their seats were dropped by one rank.

Meditation (upper 2→upper 3)

Spike style (upper 3→upper 4)

Twist (up 4→up 6)

Dome (down 4→down 5)

As such.

Among the seven upper seats: the upper two seats are vacant.

Among the seven lower seats: the lower 4 seats and the lower 7 seats are vacant.

One of the benches is vacant.

As the next two seats of the 'Japanese style', that is, Natsume, the seat remains unchanged.

Natsume wanted to fight for the [Next Seat] seat.

After all, this seat has two votes.

It's a pity that this seat is firmly held by [Datong Mugenshi] who belongs to Xushi's confidant.

It is difficult for any elder who wants to be promoted to the seat to bypass him.

estimate.

This is also the reason why [Datong Mugenshi] has been guarding the [next seat].

It can not only restrict disobedient elders from being promoted to the upper seat, but also control two voting rights.

Plus 5 votes from the original Ming and Xu formulas.

A total of 7 votes!

Just one vote more than 18 votes, which is one-third of the total 6 votes. (The two alternate seats have no voting rights)

And every time the [Supreme Council] passes any large-scale proposal, at least two-thirds of the elders are required to pass it, that is, at least 12 votes are required.

In other words.

The combined 7 votes of the three of Xu Shi are enough to veto any proposal that Xu Shi does not approve.

It can be regarded as a firmly controlled [veto power]!

What's more, except for the Ming style and the root style, most of the other parental elders have their hearts towards the virtual style.

This is almost equivalent to that Xu Shi has mastered more than half of the [Own House Council].

Of course, this is a parliamentary system after all.

It is very different from dictatorship.

At the beginning of the establishment of the [Parliament], the power of each elder was even greater.

However, in the past few thousand years.

That [True King] was so popular that he implemented the [Consul] system and the [Army] system one after another...

Vigorously promoted many non-royal Otsuki geniuses.

Greatly strengthened the power of the royal family.

This forced Xu Shi to take back part of the power of the [family council].

Otherwise, if each elder is allowed to have equal rights, the internal struggle will be intensified.

I'm afraid that the [Own House Council] would have been defeated by that [True King] long ago...

[Our House Council] The course of this big ship, in general and macroscopically, still has to be steered by Xu Shi himself, so that he can feel at ease.

This is the fundamental reason why he set different numbers of votes.

...

Throughout the voting process, Natsume has been very casual.

Just follow the virtual voting.

Anyway, it didn't touch my own interests, and it didn't affect the change of my seat.

If you can continue to pretend to be a loyal [parent elder], why not do it?

only.

There is still a bit of doubt:

"Deliberately leave a vacancy for the top two seats?"

"Who is it for?"

"Anyway, it can't be me; even if I contribute the entire [Devil Soldier Remnant] credit, it probably won't be enough for me to be promoted to the top 2 seats in one fell swoop."

"I guess it was prepared for that [Shadow Demigod]?"

"Relying on the great feat of preventing [Zhenruo King] from becoming a god, coupled with Xu's confidant undercover, he is indeed qualified for the position of [Second Upper Seat]."

"I just don't know if [Shadow Demigod] is still alive?"

"His backstabs are almost equivalent to bursting [True King]'s chrysanthemum!"

"It's hard to imagine that he can survive the furious pursuit of [True King]..."

Xia Mu secretly guessed in his heart.

He just wanted to see what this old bastard Xu Shi wanted to do.

After making the 'appetizer' for so long, it's time to order the 'main course', right?

...

as predicted.

After confirming the seat change, Xushi changed his tone and looked at Natsume.

His eyes were like a torch, and he asked directly:

"Japanese-style elder, what is your task?"

"Have you successfully captured [Dragon Palace City]?"

Xia Mu sneered in his heart:

'Is this main course still my own? '

"Xu Shi, this old bastard, still doubts himself! '

"Alright, let's just go ahead and have a final game..."

At worst, just flip the table!

I now have this strength and capital.

So ever.

An invisible confrontation has officially begun.

Natsume admitted bluntly:

"I failed too."

"Failed to defeat the 【Egret City Lord】."

"I alone am not his opponent..."

"And he has long colluded with the royal family, and now [Dragon Palace City] has initially fallen into the hands of the [royal family]."

Hearing this, the other elders also concentrated their attention.

After all, they didn't know exactly what task Xushi had assigned to 'Natsume'.

It sounds like they are going to capture [Dragon Palace City]?

Just relying on Japanese style alone?

How could it be possible to defeat the [City Lord Egret] who is in charge of the [Artifact Core]?

Isn't this task a little too difficult?

It can't be the virtual elder, who wants to take the opportunity to get rid of the Japanese elder?

...

Otsutsuki paused for a moment.

Wei Wei is surprised that the 'Japanese style' is so honest?No excuse at all?

But Xu Shi quickly noticed the suspicion and mentality changes of the other elders.

Then suddenly.

It seems that Japanese style is going to use the mouth of other elders to put pressure on himself!

The more frank Natsume is, the more difficult and impossible this task can be reflected.

Single-handedly kill a veteran demigod who has mastered the [Artifact]?

Still in [Dragon Palace City] someone else's home court!

This fails.

It's totally justifiable!

If this is the case, Xu Shi will punish Natsume severely.

It will only show that the false motive does not exist, deliberately making things difficult!

This aggravated the resistance of other elders, forming a feeling of "sly rabbit and dog cooking".

What's more, Natsume is still a meritorious minister...

Instantly figured this out, Xu Shi was not angry, but smiled slightly:

"It doesn't matter if you fail."

"It's a difficult task to do alone."

"And let the Japanese-style elder go to [Dragon Palace City], mainly to let him use 'Gaohuang Qiong Ye' to treat his injuries."

"As for defeating that city lord, taking [Dragon Palace City] or something."

"It was an experiment."

"It's best to have a chance to succeed, and it's okay to fail."

"The Japanese-style elders contributed a piece of [New Nursery] clues, but the heroes of the [Parliament] naturally cannot be criticized."

Of course, Natsume's wish will not be fulfilled by the scheming virtual formula.

A few words changed the nature of the task.

Take this trip to [Dragon Palace City] as a reward and self-cultivation for the 'Japanese Elder'.

Quickly dispelled the worries in the hearts of the other elders.

But how could the imaginary temptation end so easily?

Waiting for Natsume to respond.

The virtual formula then asked again:

"But, how did the Japanese-style elders come out of [Dragon Palace City]?"

"And why are you in a hurry to leave [Dragon Palace City]?"

"explain?"

...
