Crossing Naruto: Becoming a Perfect Jinchūriki
Chapter 61 The 5th Hokage
The time came to the third day after the invasion of Payne.
Konoha Village relied on Yamato's "Wood Release: Two Rooms and One Living Room Technique" to quickly complete the reconstruction work.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Hokage's office was extremely tense, and everyone sat around the conference table with serious expressions.
Fugaku's eyes were sharp and his tone was stern: "Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Hokage, you have seriously neglected your duty in this incident!
Not only was the Sealed Book stolen, but you were never there from the time the enemy showed up until they escaped."
Facing Uchiha Fugaku's accusation, Mitomonen and Utane Koharu looked at each other and actually coordinated to refute:
"Fugaku, don't forget that half of Danzo's arm was also stolen.
Moreover, as the leader of the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen should stay in the Hokage Building to take charge of the overall command."
"That's right, the enemy retreated immediately after their attack, and we really didn't have time to react.
But even so, they finally managed to escape the village. Isn't this your responsibility?"
On the contrary, Tian Gang!
Everyone present was also angry.
After hearing the outrageous remarks made by Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu, Uchiha Fugaku was so angry that he was about to explode and was speechless for a while.
"you you you……"
Finally, Uchiha Fugaku could no longer hold back his anger, his eyes snapped open, and he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan;
He released a strong murderous intent and stared at Mitomon En and Utane Koharu.
When Mitomon En and Utane Koharu saw that Fugaku really wanted to attack, they also became scared.
"Fugaku, what are you...doing? This is Konoha, and the Sannin are here. How dare you do that?!"
"pongo"
There was a loud bang.
The table was smashed into pieces by Tsunade's hammer.
"enough!!!"
Tsunade was the first to lose her temper. She rushed forward angrily and grabbed Mitomon En and Utane Koharu by the collars.
“You two old stubborn people should have abdicated long ago.
It was Fugaku who stopped the enemy and saved Konoha, and Fugaku and his men were also the first to lead people to participate in the rescue work.
The failure to reward meritorious service and the selfishness of the people disappointed the warriors of Konoha.
Konoha is rotting because of termites like you.
I shouldn't have come back here. My second grandfather was so blind that he actually let Konoha be handed over to people like you!! "
Tsunade became angrier as she spoke, her fists clenched tightly and her eyes flashing with anger.
“You high-ranking officials sit in your offices all day, enjoying the benefits of power, but never care about the lives of the people at the bottom.
But heroes like Fugaku do not get the respect and rewards they deserve.
You are not worthy of leading Konoha!"
Tsunade's voice echoed in the room like thunder, full of strong dissatisfaction and indignation, as if it was about to tear the entire space apart.
After hearing Tsunade's words, everyone present was shocked and expressed their deep agreement.
They had long been fed up with the rule of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two, and had suffered severe persecution from them.
They were eager for a wise and powerful Hokage to lead them again, not these rotten wood.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been silent all the time, slowly closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
There was a trace of helplessness and self-blame on his face.
Finally, he spoke up: “This is all because of my negligence. It is my incompetence that has led to the current situation.
I am no longer worthy of being the Hokage."
Tsunade listened to his words, but refuted mercilessly:
"Old man, don't be so hypocritical here! Your mistake can't be easily excused with just a few words!
We need real actions, not empty words!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep puff of cigarette, and in the midst of the smoke, he sighed helplessly, "Let's elect a new Hokage first. I will accept all the responsibilities."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mitomonen En and Utane Koharu's faces turned pale as paper in an instant. They opened their eyes wide and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in disbelief.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, how can you say such a thing?!" Mito Kado En said in a trembling voice, his face full of horror.
Utatane Koharu was even more anxious. She reached out and grabbed Sarutobi Hiruzen's sleeve tightly, shaking him desperately, crying, "No, you can't do this!"
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen just shook his head slightly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He secretly sighed in his heart that these two people were really inconsiderate.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that only by taking the initiative to assume responsibility could he reduce the losses and at least preserve his reputation.
The situation is now irreversible, and allowing Tsunade to inherit the position of Hokage is the best result he can achieve.
After all, he was no longer able to suppress the Uchiha clan. Among the three ninjas, only Jiraiya was more on his side and respected him as a teacher, but that was all.
Even if the three ninjas were on his side, they might not be able to compete with the three Mangekyōkyōs of the Uchiha clan.
And this guy Naruto doesn't support me.
Not only that, even the always loyal Ino-Deer-Choice duo may not choose to support him anymore.
The Hyuga clan was even more dissatisfied with him.
Due to the previous kidnapping of Hinata Hyuga, they had already seen through Sarutobi Hiruzen's true selfish face.
Now, they are lucky not to add insult to injury.
Thinking back on all this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh deeply.
He was filled with remorse and blamed himself for not fulfilling the responsibilities of a qualified Hokage.
He realized that his actions had disappointed and heartbroken too many people.
Those who once had high hopes for him and were loyal to him have now left him.
In this way, Sarutobi Hiruzen was like a lonely old man watching Naruto and the others voting for the fifth Hokage.
The most solemn election was conducted in the simplest way—everyone wrote their own name on a piece of paper and then wrote the name of the person they wanted to vote for.
The referee is Hyuga Hizashi.
Naruto looked around and saw Fugaku discussing with Shisui and Itachi. He thought for a moment and wrote down the person he had in mind.
When everyone had finished writing their ballots, Hinata Hizashi began to count the votes one by one.
"Naruto, 1 vote, from Orochimaru."
Naruto was slightly surprised as he looked at Orochimaru who was grinning at the side. He didn't expect that Orochimaru would vote for him.
But Naruto has no intention of becoming Hokage now. He doesn't want to be tied down at such a young age. He wants to start with me to refuse child labor.
"Tsunade, 1 vote, from Uchiha Itachi."
Fugaku stood up angrily: "What?! This is not right."
Hinata Hizashi looked at Fugaku calmly: "I have already told you who voted, you can ask Itachi to confirm."
Then Fugaku looked at Itachi with a grim face, and a drama of fatherly kindness and filial piety was staged.
Fugaku suppressed his anger and lowered his voice, saying in a deep voice: "I asked you to vote for me, why did you vote for Tsunade?!"
Itachi immediately rebelled and retorted: "I just think Tsunade is more suitable for Hokage."
After hearing Itachi's answer, Fugaku couldn't bear it anymore and pulled out the seven wolves to give Itachi some belated fatherly love.
Upon seeing this, Shisui immediately tried to dissuade him.
"Don't be angry, Patriarch Fugaku. We are still in the election. Don't make a fool of yourself by acting like this."
"Shisui, 1 vote, from Uzumaki Naruto."
"I?"
Shisui, who was trying to dissuade Fugaku, was stunned for a moment and looked at Naruto in confusion. Naruto smiled and expressed his opinion.
Afterwards, without exception, almost all the votes were for Tsunade.
Tsunade was elected the fifth Hokage with an absolute majority of votes.
