Naruto: The Six Eyes of the Uchiha Family
Chapter 157 Succession to the Fourth Hokage
The high-level meeting in Konoha did not discuss it for long.
After Sarutobi Hiruzen proposed Namikaze Minato's name, Mitomon En and Koharu both agreed.
It's just that Danzo didn't express his agreement, but he also didn't express his objection.
So the four senior members of Konoha prepared to set off for Kyoto, where the daimyo was. As long as they were nominated by the daimyo and passed the vote of the jounin meeting, Minato could officially become Hokage.
Now that Konoha has been established for decades, the system has been standardized.
In the beginning, when the village was founded, the population of Konoha was sparse, and the election of the first Hokage was based on one person, one vote.
After the first Hokage died of illness, Senju Tobirama, as the only remaining top powerhouse in Konoha and the younger brother of the first Hokage, naturally inherited the position of Hokage.
However, during the period of the Second Hokage, Konoha's various systems began to gradually improve, and the existing Hokage succession system was established.
High-level nomination, daimyo appointment, and jounin voting are the three most basic steps that are indispensable.
Even if the Second Hokage passed the throne to Sarutobi Hiruzen on the battlefield, it actually only replaced the high-level nomination step.
After the Great Ninja War, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally became the Third Hokage after being appointed by the daimyo and voted by the jounin.
Therefore, going to Kyoto to get appointed by the daimyo is a necessary step, even if Konoha Village is only nominally under the jurisdiction of the Fire Country daimyo, after all, the Fire Country daimyo provides Konoha with a lot of financial assistance.
Before setting off, in addition to several senior officials of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen also called two people.
"Shinnosuke, Shikaku, you also go to Kyoto together."
I saw Sarutobi Shinnosuke wearing a monkey mask and Nara Shikaku wearing a Jonin uniform vest standing in front of the desk in the Hokage's office. In front of them was Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting on the Hokage's seat.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has taken the blame and resigned, as the previous Hokage, the next Hokage has not yet been officially elected, so naturally only he can sit in this Hokage's position.
"One of you is the ANBU captain and the other is the Jonin squad leader. You should appear at the meeting to appoint the new Hokage."
After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Nara Shikaku expressed their obedience.
Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen is no longer the current Hokage, these two people still respect Sarutobi Hiruzen very much.
Needless to say, Sarutobi Shinnosuke is the eldest son of Sarutobi Hiruzen. He has been valued by Sarutobi Hiruzen since he was a child. When he grew up, he became Sarutobi Hiruzen's right-hand man.
Nara Shikakusori was born in the Nara family. The Nara family and two other families including Ino Shikacho are traditional allies of the Sarutobi clan. Their origins can be traced back to the Warring States period, and they were even more supportive after Sarutobi Hiruzen became the Hokage. .
However, Nara Shikaku himself was just out of respect for the identity of Hokage, even the previous Hokage.
The group set out for Kyoto, and the day-to-day management of Konoha was actually handed over to Minato.
Kyoto, Damingfu.
The daimyo and a group of senior officials from the daimyo mansion and a group of Konoha senior officials brought by Sarutobi Hiruzen sat around the conference table.
The daimyo, who was wearing a fan-shaped fire pattern headdress and fanning himself with a small fan in his hand, turned his attention to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"You can recommend the candidate for the next Hokage."
The daimyo's attitude was rather casual. After all, no matter who the Hokage was, it could not affect his rule in the Land of Fire.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to speak when Danzo suddenly spoke.
"I recommend Orochimaru, one of the legendary three ninjas."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed slightly, and Mito Kadoyan and Koharu who were standing next to him all looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Unexpectedly, Danzo did not compromise before, but waited until he came back to Kyoto to suddenly attack and recommended Orochimaru's name to the daimyo first.
"I've heard of the legendary Sannin."
The daimyo fanned himself, then looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"What do you think of the third generation?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously: "Orochimaru is ruthless and ruthless, and we cannot entrust the important responsibility of Hokage to such a person."
The daimyo nodded, he still preferred the Third Hokage's statement to Danzo's.
Suddenly, the daimyo remembered a name and asked, "How about Uchiha Che? I always heard about his achievements during the war. It would be good for him to be the Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Shikaku, you are Che's teacher. Please introduce Che to the Daimyo."
"Yes." Shikaku was originally silent on such an occasion, but now that Sarutobi Hiruzen called him by name, Shikaku still came out and said, "Uchiha Che is a young man with great talent and intelligence."
"The strength is also quite outstanding, and it can defeat the tailed beast head-on."
"But he is currently less than fourteen years old and cannot yet bear the important responsibility of Hokage."
The daimyo nodded suddenly, "So he is only fourteen years old? It will be even more serious in the future."
"But we can't wait any longer for the candidate of Hokage." Sarutobi Hiruzen added.
Later, Sarutobi Hiruzen put forward his recommendations.
"I recommend Minato Namikaze."
"Namikaze Minato." The daimyo muttered the name, and then said: "I have also heard of the yellow flash of Konoha."
"Yes, Minato has a gentle personality and strong strength. He has a pure heart that loves the village and the people. He is the perfect successor to the Will of Fire."
Sarutobi Hiruzen strongly recommended Namikaze Minato in front of the daimyo, which once again attracted the attention of other high-level officials in Konoha, including the dissatisfied look of Danzo.
"Well, let him be the Hokage."
The daimyo stopped asking questions and directly agreed to Sarutobi Hiruzen's recommendation.
The next day, the senior officials returned to Konoha to hold a Jonin meeting.
Namikaze Minato passed almost unanimously.
The next day, at the Hokage Building, the Hokage Succession Ceremony officially began.
On the roof of the Hokage Building, Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen, who are about to become Hokage, are performing a ceremony.
Behind Sarutobi Hiruzen stood many Konoha ninjas who could be called by their names.
Mito Katoen and Koharu Koharu were not far behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Behind them are some Konoha Jonin, including Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Haiichi, Akimichi Choza and Uchiha Fugaku.
And next to it, there is a beautiful figure wearing a jounin uniform and a ponytail, Uzumaki Kushina.
Kushina looked at Minato with eyes full of love, her eyes seemed to travel through time and see the way they looked when they first met in the ninja school.
"Please, Yondaime."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took off the Hokage hat and handed it to Minato, then put it on Minato's head.
Minato, wearing the Hokage's robe and Hokage hat, said firmly: "I am willing to give my life."
Minato walked to the edge of the roof of the Hokage Building, took off his hat, revealed a gentle and handsome face and looked down, and delivered his inaugural speech.
And this scene also fell in the eyes of everyone below.
Kakashi covered one eye with his forehead protector, Metkai looked up with a longing expression, Asuma listened carefully to the speech, Che watched Minato calmly, Kurenai stood next to Che...
Everyone seems to be looking forward to the new Fourth Hokage.
