Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

In the following period, the entire Konoha Village launched a vigorous post-disaster reconstruction movement.

With the huge financial support of Wedge Real Estate, the residents of Konoha worked hard to clean up the ruins, and at the same time, they could also receive generous rewards from the Wedge Real Estate Chamber of Commerce.

For a time, the residents of Konoha burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the post-disaster reconstruction team.

At the same time, a meeting related to the future destiny of Konoha was being held in the conference room of the Land of Fire.

The initiator of this meeting was none other than the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he invited the Fire Country Daimyo who was still a guest in Konoha Village to serve as a witness to this meeting.

The attendees included representatives of various families, as well as a number of ninjas from Konoha Village who had the title of Jonin.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was wearing the Hokage's robe, sitting in the main seat of the conference room with a somewhat sluggish look on his face. The Fire Country Daimyo sat side by side with him.

Looking at the Konoha ninjas who had already arrived in the conference room, Sarutobi Hiruzen cleared his throat and announced the start of the meeting.

"cough!"

"Everyone!"

"I believe everyone is aware of the nine-tailed demon fox riot that occurred in the village the day before yesterday, right?"

Everyone present did not answer, they just looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who looked sluggish and nodded silently.

"I was seriously injured in the battle with Kyuubi."

"After recuperating in the past few days, although the injury has improved, the physical condition is getting worse."

"I'm afraid I can no longer serve as Hokage!"

Except for a few representatives of big families who still sat motionless in the presence of the old gods, a group of representatives of small families and ordinary jounin who did not know the situation clearly showed a trace of commotion.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around, sighed secretly, and continued:

"This invitation to you all to hold a Jonin meeting is to select the next Hokage for Konoha."

"I have submitted a list of several Hokage candidates to the Daimyo, and you can vote on them."

"The one with the most votes will become the fourth Hokage of Konoha!"

The representatives of a group of small families looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at the big family camp where no one stood up to speak, and they all wisely kept their mouths shut.

After going to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan looked at each other, with a trace of doubt in their eyes.

"Sir Hiruzen, why don't you talk to our advisors and elders about such an important matter first?"

"Where is Elder Danzo? He should be here at this time, right?"

Mito Kaden stood up, pushed up his glasses, and spoke to Sarutobi Hiruzen in a slightly dissatisfied tone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him, a little disappointed with his old friend who still couldn't clearly see the situation, and shook his head slightly.

"On the night of the Kyuubi, Elder Danzo took the lead and led his men to fight against the Kyuubi. He has sacrificed his life for the village!"

"As for the election of Hokage, I just decided after discussing it with the Daimyo."

"Your Majesty, the Daimyo, is considerate of my serious injuries and should not delay. Therefore, I have agreed to my resignation as Hokage."

"I can only say sorry for not notifying the two consultants in time!"

Seeing the indifferent expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, Mito Kaden suddenly understood something and sat back without saying a word.

"I'm ill, so I'll have to worry about the Daimyo for the next election!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored the two advisors and nodded to the Fire Country Daimyo.

The Fire Country Daimyo stood up from his seat, took out a list and gestured to everyone. Without talking too much nonsense, he went straight to the point:

"This is the list submitted by the Sandaime. Please follow the principle of fairness and justice and vote for the person you think is most suitable to succeed Hokage."

"The first one is Orochimaru, a disciple of the Sandaime Hokage and one of the three ninjas!"

"The second place is Tsunade-hime, a disciple of the Sandaime Hokage and one of the three ninjas!"

"Third place, Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo!"

"Fourth place"

The voice of the Fire Country Daimyo was a little longer and he looked at everyone.

"The disciple of Sannin Orochimaru, the younger brother of Tsunade Hime, the successor of the Wood Release of the Senju Clan, the one who suppressed the rampaging Kyuubi and saved Konoha from the fire and water."

"The Rope Tree!"

"The above four are the candidates for this Jonin vote."

"Please start voting!"

Representatives of a group of small families were stunned after hearing the list read out by the great names of the Fire Country.

"Is this what you call a fair and just attitude? Why didn't you also reveal his identity as the grandson of the First Lord?"

While the representatives of these small families were whispering, someone from several large family camps in Konoha suddenly stood up.

"I am the leader of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku. On behalf of the Uchiha Clan, I cast my vote for Lord Nogeki."

"I am the leader of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hizashi. On behalf of the Hyuga Clan, I support Mr. Nawaki as the Fourth Hokage!"

The patriarchs of the three pig, deer, and die families who were sitting together saw the two families that had expressed their attitudes and exchanged glances with each other.

The Nara clan leader stood up slowly, gave Sarutobi Hiruzen an apologetic look, and said loudly:

"I am the leader of the Nara clan, Nara Shikaku. On behalf of the three Ino, Shika and Butterfly families, I support Mr. Nawaki as the Fourth Hokage!"

Everyone in the field was in an uproar as they looked at the three clan leaders who stood up.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Nara Shikaku, who had always supported him, and now he was clearly on the side of the rope tree. Even though he had approved of Rope Tree, seeing this situation, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"I didn't expect it! Did you three actually give up on me so early?"

"hehe."

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a wry smile and secretly shook his head, once again recognizing the importance of himself as the Hokage in the Konoha family.

"The Aburame clan supports Naoki-sama to become the Fourth Hokage!"

Seeing the Aburame clan coming forward after the Inar, Deer, and Butterfly clans expressed their stance, even the two advisor elders were shocked this time.

"how come?"

"Hasn't the Aburame clan always been close to Danzo? How could this be?"

The Aburame matriarch ignored everyone's looks, sat down slowly, and gently fiddled with her fingers in her sleeves. A burst of mental power was transmitted to a parasitic insect lying on the fingertips. The parasitic insect immediately responded and sent back a burst of chaotic mental fluctuations.

"Owner."

An imperceptible smile appeared on the face of the oil matriarch's sunglasses.

The insect control technique acquired from the rope tree at the cost of loyalty is enough to make the Aburame clan, as insect controllers, make a qualitative leap in strength.

As for the price and dignity paid, they seem so insignificant in the face of this kind of continuation that concerns the entire family.

It is a natural law for the weak to surrender to the strong.

This Jonin meeting, with the purpose of electing the Fourth Hokage, finally came to an end when Orochimaru, Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo abstained.

The daimyo put away the list in his hand, and the smiling Okinawa tree nodded.

"Songshu-kun, congratulations!"

"When the Hokage handover ceremony is officially held, you will be the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!"

The rope tree also smiled at the Fire Country Daimyo.

"Thank you, Lord Daimyo, for your help!"

"Your Excellency, please rest assured. I will do my best to assist you, Daimyo, so that the people of the Land of Fire can live a happy life."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
