Konoha

Hokage Building

In the jounin conference room, Uchiha Naraku took a seat with a large number of Uchiha jounin. He looked at the jounin of the Sarutobi clan not far away.

After the Ninja War, there were many jounin casualties in Konoha, and the promotion requirements were relaxed a bit. However, the Uchiha's jounin promotion was somewhat delayed, while the Sarutobi family's jounin promotion was very rapid. Naraku counted twelve Sarutobi jonin at the previous jounin meeting. In a few years, twenty jounin of Sarutobi are now sitting together.

"My Uchiha's jounin promotion is in the plan, and documents will be issued immediately. His Sarutobi family's jounin, did he skip the process and mention it directly?"

Naraku counted the jounin of the Sarutobi family and once again came to an understanding of Sarutobi Hiruzen's lies.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, watched the Jonin below take their seats and winked at Mito Katomo next to him. Mito Kadoba understood what he understood and said:

"Thanks to your bravery and dedication, the dispute between Kirigakure and Sunagakure was settled. Without your dedication, there would be no peace in Konoha.

Today, the Iwagakure and Kumogakure villages in the northwest and northeast are still at war with Konoha. The death and injury statistics of Konoha ninjas are shocking and the casualties are heavy.

I am really sad about this. For the sake of overall peace, I have initiated peace negotiations with Iwagakure Village. Now we have some understanding with each other. I would like to hear the views and opinions of all jounin. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the jounin below. There used to be more than 230 jonin on the list, but now there are 170. Many of them are newcomers who were reluctantly promoted, and their strength is not as reliable as the senior jounin. I sighed slightly in my heart.

"We can't continue fighting. Two groups of my students have already died on the battlefield..."

"My relatives and sons were all killed in the Sunagakure battlefield..."

Hearing the topic of Mito Gate Flame's initiation, the jounin in the audience began to discuss, and the voices in the audience were a little noisy.

"It's really a matter of peace."

Hearing Mito Monen's words, Naraku understood.

Three of Konoha's four top leaders came. Konoha jounin suffered many casualties in the shinobi war, but they were promoted quickly.

The number of jounin here remains roughly at one hundred and seventy, with eighty jounin, and with some jounin from the northwest and northeastern strongholds, it may be close to two hundred and fifty.

There are fifty jounin places in the Uchiha family, but there are only thirty-seven here. Many Uchiha jounin places died on the battlefield, and Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to have some intention of delaying promotion.

Among the four senior leaders, Hokage's assistant Shimura Danzo has been busy with espionage and intelligence operations since the Ninja War. He has been hiding underground and has not been seen for a long time.

"How can we negotiate for peace! My parents, wife, and children all died on the battlefield! Just negotiate for peace like this, my relatives! What is the meaning of their sacrifices!"

A jounin stood up, trembling all over, and roared angrily after hearing the many voices discussing peace nearby.

The jounin who were whispering and discussing in low voices stopped and looked at this jounin who had many scars on his face and some bandages on his body.

As this jounin finished speaking, more Konoha jounin stood up.

"We will never accept the peace negotiation! We will make Iwagakure pay the price!"

"Why have we been passively defensive? Why don't we organize a team to attack the Kingdom of Earth!"

"We must let Iwagakure experience the same pain as us!"

"Lord Yan! I hope you will not discuss peace negotiations! You will never accept peace negotiations with Iwagakure!"

Those who started to discuss the peace talks were all in the front row. It seemed that some ninjas were speaking out, trying to influence the thoughts of the jounin.

The real Konoha civilian jounin or the small family jounin, the small power team, stood up one after another, some looked sad, some had sad expressions, and more had red eyes and roared.

On the Iwagakure battlefield, the team led by Uchiha Fugaku was unable to defeat more than 600 family ninjas. Needless to say, other ninja forces, the casualties would only be more severe...

The three senior executives listened to the words of the people in the audience and looked at their expressions, and they couldn't help but retreat in their hearts at this moment.

Mito Kado and Koharu looked at the Third Hokage. Mito Kado's voice was just to mention Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a very uneasy mood at the moment. He held his pipe in his mouth, blew out a smoke ring, and glanced at Koharu who was sleeping.

After turning to bed, Koharu and Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at each other, sighed inwardly and said softly:

"Jounin, please don't get excited. We are just discussing a peace plan. Of course, the sacrifices of the ninjas will not be meaningless. The subsequent pensions will be paid in place. Please don't get excited."

There were only thirty or forty excited jounin, nearly a quarter of the body. There were many jounin who did not express their opinions, but they did not refute those who opposed the peace negotiation.

"Master Yan, Master Xiaochun, you can make the decision on the peace negotiation, but may I ask how much compensation Iwagakure will pay for the peace?

In addition, my companion has died on the battlefield, but his family is starving.

The relief fund has not yet been distributed to his family. May I ask, Mr. Hokage, why has the pension been delayed? "

A Jonin stood up and said expressionlessly, as if he had no objection to the peace negotiation. But for pensions and funds, he wanted to ask the Hokage what the situation was.

"Tetsuto Jōnin, the village's finances are currently in some difficulties, but the pension will definitely be paid, I guarantee this."

The senior officials remembered the names of all the Jounin in Konoha. After hearing this Jounin's words, Koharu went to bed and gave a serious reply to comfort him.

After hearing what Koharu said, the jonin named Tetsuto no longer questioned and sat down.

The top management has controlled Konoha for a long time, and the jonins have questioned the strong dominance of Konoha. However, as long as the top management gives a plan, the opinions of the jonins will usually be calmed.

Although the high-level people have limited moral integrity, they all maintain a supportive and open attitude towards Konoha's small and medium-sized ninja clan and civilian jounin.

The strength of the group formed by the civilian jounin and the small ninja clan is limited. As long as the demands of the small force are not too outrageous, they should be given more respect and support.

"Konoha can no longer fight. The villagers have sacrificed too much for the endurance war. If possible, I hope that peace and stability can be restored as soon as possible."

There were those who opposed the peace talks, and naturally there were those who supported the peace talks. One jounin was somewhat compassionate and stood up to support the peace talks.

"Don't let the sacrifices of your companions be worthless, let the children grow up normally!"

"If the state of war ends, I think this is the meaning of the sacrifice of our companions."

There was a jounin who strongly supported the peace negotiation at the beginning, and many jounin who supported the peace negotiation also came forward.

"No! No peace can be negotiated!"

"You cowards!"

"How can this be so!"

Opponents of the peace talks pointed at those who supported the peace talks and began to insult them, and a quarrel broke out in the conference room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little relieved and made peace against everyone's wishes. Even the third generation did not want to be so arbitrary.

Even if the peace negotiation was for the sake of the Leaf Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not dare to express his position too strongly. After hearing the statements of the jounin who supported the peace negotiation, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt confident and said in a deep voice:

"Konoha can no longer fight. The sacrifices of our companions are precisely to protect the peace of Konoha. If there is a better way to maintain peace without bloodshed and sacrifice, as the Hokage, I will definitely support it.

Negotiations with Iwagakure have come to fruition, and Iwagakure has agreed to negotiate peace with Konoha and return to normal diplomatic status. I agree with this.

It is my fault as the Hokage that Konoha suffered such serious losses. I'm sorry. "

After Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and finished speaking, he bowed to the jounin in the audience and continued:

"If you want to hate, please hate me. The losses suffered by Konoha are all my fault. In view of this, I will resign and abdicate in favor of others. It is up to everyone to elect the fourth generation Hokage and continue to protect the village. .”

The Third Hokage's original words made many Jonin who opposed the peace talks feel dejected, and some even showed their ferocious looks.

At this moment, as the Third Hokage took the blame and resigned, taking full responsibility for his fault, some of the original opponents burst into tears, some looked relieved, and some looked dull, but no one blamed the Third Hokage.
