Chapter 352 Retreating to Advance

A dead silence fell in the Hokage's office.

After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face was filled with disappointment.

But whoever can become a jounin has not been killed for a long time and has cold blood in his bones. This acting skill cannot move anyone present.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took another puff of cigarette with great pleasure.

"Shikaku, you're right, and I'm getting older, so it's really inappropriate to sit in this position all the time.

Let's hold a Jonin Conference. It's time to elect the Fifth Hokage. "

Everyone present was relieved to see Hiruzen Sarutobi relent, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts. They didn't expect Hiruzen Sarutobi to relent so easily to the throne of Hokage.

But Kakashi didn't think so, and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a deep look.

The information that Ye Wen gave to Kakashi was all-encompassing. In addition to the black information about Hiruzen Sarutobi, there was also an analysis of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In the ninja world, a world that pays attention to blood, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been able to occupy the highest position of power as a ninjutsu-type ninja for many years, which shows that he is not simple.

And being able to come back to the throne without electing the fifth generation after the death of the fourth generation shows his obsession with this position. Kakashi did not think that Sarutobi Hiruzen would be so simple.

“Is retreat a way to advance?”

Kakashi analyzed silently, but now that he is enlightened, he is different from the past.

At this time, Kakashi firmly believed that in the face of absolute strength, Sarutobi Hiruzen's tricks were not worth showing off.

The Jounin Conference does not bring together all Konoha Jounin for a meeting.

Those who are truly qualified to enter this tournament are all jounin or elite jounin who hold important positions in Konoha.

They are the true pillars of the big tree of Konoha.

At this time, Nara Shikaku, the leader of the Jonin class, stood on the presiding stage.

"Ahem, I will preside over the Jonin Conference today. The theme is to elect the new Fifth Generation Hokage."

Nara Shikaku glanced at all the Jonin present, and continued when no one objected.

"Then now let's nominate the candidates you think will be the next Fifth Hokage."

As notes piled up on the podium, Shikaku Nara began his work.

But in fact, most people present knew who the Fifth Hokage was today.

But looking at the notes in his hand that represented powerful ninjas, Nara Shikaku's eyes were full of meaning.

Finally, Nara Shikaku wrote the name chosen as the next Fifth Hokage on the blackboard behind him.

Tsunade

Zilai

Kakashi

Ape Flying Asma

Uchiha Fugaku

Hinata Rizu

Nara Shikaku

When he finally wrote his name, Nara Shikaku's eyes twitched.

But with Nara Shikaku's intelligence, he naturally knew that someone was causing trouble.

After all, although Sarutobi Asuma is said to be an elite jounin, he has been playing the role of ninja guardian ninja next to the daimyo for many years, and everyone knows how much of it is involved.

But for such a person to be nominated, it is obvious that someone is fishing in troubled waters.

However, in the face of the general trend, Nara Shikaku was not worried that Kakashi would win in the end. After all, the main ninja clan in Konoha had been won over by Kakashi.

"Then let's start voting now."

The next session went on in an orderly manner, the scene was very quiet, and no one made any noise.

There were only a few hundred people attending this Jonin Conference, and the voting results came out quickly.

Compared with the support rate of other candidates, which only received a dozen or so votes at most, Kakashi's result of up to 77 votes clearly shows that Kakashi's successor as the Fifth Hokage is expected by the public.

"I declare"

"and many more."

Just when Nara Shikaku was about to announce Kakashi as the next Fifth Hokage, a voice interrupted him.

Everyone looked in the direction of the gaze.

The one who stopped him was none other than Sarutobi Hiruzen, who talked about the Will of Fire every day.

Nara Shikaku has a peaceful mind and really doesn't want to get involved in trouble. Moreover, once trouble occurs, it means a conflict. If he is injured and dies, it will not be good for anyone.

Nara Shikaku said, forcing down the unhappiness in his heart.

"Sandaime, do you have any opinions?"

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not holding his cigarette stick as usual, but was wearing his god robe and looking at everyone present with a serious face.

"I very much agree that Kakashi can succeed the Fifth Hokage as expected. This all promotes the will of fire.

But now that he is burdened with an unknown conspiracy, the matter of succession should be postponed for now. "

Nara Shikaku frowned when he heard this. With his IQ, it was easy to think of Kakashi's inexplicable ninjutsu.

But his logical thinking is also very smooth. With the kind of power that can subvert the entire Konoha, what conspiracy is needed?

Therefore, Nara Shikaku said calmly, "Sandaime-sama, please tell me clearly what's wrong with Kakashi, otherwise the Jonin present will not agree with your words."

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also nervous. He never expected that Nara Shikaku, who usually obeyed his words, would be so stubborn.

But whether it's for himself or others, Kakashi cannot be the Fifth Hokage today, Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly affirmed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a scroll and spread it out on the table.

This scroll is the mission report of other ANBU on Kakashi yesterday.

"Kakashi, answer me, who is this mysterious enemy? What did he do to you? To make you kneel down?

If you don't make it clear, you won't be able to become the Fifth Hokage, because there is no Hokage in Konoha who kneels down to the enemy. I can't watch you push Konoha Village into an unknown dangerous fire pit. "

The awe-inspiring righteousness of what Hiruzen Sarutobi said excited many civilian jonin present who did not know the truth. After all, they were all the new generation who had grown up under the brainwashing education of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The ninja clan chiefs on the side did not speak at this time. They also wanted to see Kakashi's political methods besides his strength.

Kakashi glanced at the scroll on the table expressionlessly.

The writing is quite detailed, but that's about it.

And Kakashi not only visited the ninja clan to support him yesterday, but also did some other things.

Kakashi took out a storage scroll and spread it out on the table as well.

Following the seal formation, the seal of the storage scroll was released, and six huge scrolls appeared on the table.

Seeing Kakashi's calm and calm attitude, all the jounin present became curious about these six huge scrolls. What was written in them that gave Kakashi such confidence?

But when Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at these six scrolls, his expression changed drastically.

"Kakashi, how on earth did you get these scrolls?!"
