Chapter 204 Internal Recommendation Meeting
A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day.
With Sarutobi Hiruzen's abdication, Konoha Village also needs a new Hokage.
As the only high-level advisor of Konoha who was not implicated by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utane Koharu, at the suggestion of Kawakaze, summoned the leaders of various clans to participate in the internal recommendation of the new Hokage.
In Chuan Feng's words, the necessary procedures must still be followed.
This is also a good opportunity to see if there are any die-hard fans of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
On this day, the largest conference room in the Hokage Building was filled with people.
It was the first time for Utane Koharu to sit in the main seat, and she was a little uncomfortable.
In the past, she and Mito Kado En would sit on the left and right of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Looking at the people present, most of them are regulars here.
Glancing at Kawakaze intentionally or unintentionally, Utane Koharu cleared her throat and began to speak.
“Today, I brought everyone together.”
"I'm sure you all know why."
When Koharu Utane said this, she paused and looked around.
Not noticing any confusion in anyone's eyes, he continued to speak.
"We in Konoha have always advocated democracy."
"As for the selection of the Fourth Hokage, we still need to discuss it together."
"I don't have much experience in chairing meetings, so I won't waste any time talking nonsense and will get straight to the point."
"If you have a suitable candidate in mind, you can speak up directly."
No matter what the truth is, everyone feels comfortable listening to what Koharu Utatane said.
Being able to decide who will be the Hokage is considered a status symbol.
As for being Hokage, most people still have a very clear understanding of themselves.
After a while, no one took the initiative to speak out.
They are all very smart.
"Since no one is talking, I'll speak first."
"I think Lady Tsunade is very suitable to be the Fourth Hokage."
Dai was promoted to Jonin after the war, and because of his great strength, he was qualified to participate in meetings.
He has no family behind him, only a wife and children, and he is good friends with Tsunade.
This time, he voted for Tsunade without any hesitation.
"This guy."
Chuan Feng smiled and muttered something in a low voice.
Dai is so adorable.
"Thank you."
Tsunade gave Dai a nice smile.
Someone started with a few words, and then others began to speak one after another.
Koharu Utane wrote down the names and the number of times people mentioned them in the notebook she had prepared.
The way it was done looks pretty good.
"I think Sakumo-sama is qualified for the position of the Fourth Hokage."
Chuan Feng looked over when he heard this, wondering which unlucky kid had suggested this.
"I am not qualified for the position of Hokage at the moment."
Shuomao glared at his brother-in-law and replied indifferently.
He is really not interested in the position of Hokage. It would be nice if Kawakaze could be the one.
As for Tsunade, she was also within his acceptable range.
"Haha~"
The Inuzuka clan leader smiled awkwardly, and then said nothing.
"I think Lord Orochimaru can take the position of Hokage."
This is a die-hard fan of Orochimaru and has fought many battles with him.
To exaggerate a little, his life was saved by Orochimaru.
"I'm not interested in the position of Hokage."
Orochimaru was not as tactful as Sakumo and spoke directly from his heart.
He now has Ye Cang for experiments, and he also has Sheng Shu to make trouble when he has nothing to do. That’s enough.
After Orochimaru finished speaking, the nominations continued.
Even Jiraiya, who didn't come, was mentioned, but he still has some personality charm.
"I think Lord Kawanakade is also qualified to sit in the position of Hokage."
"In the Second World War, he defeated the Chuuriki and two Kages, and demonstrated the power of Konoha in the Hidden Cloud Village."
"So I recommend Lord Chuanfeng."
Chuan Feng looked over when he heard that, and he had some impression of him: the patriarch of a small family.
He fought a lot of tough battles with himself.
"I also support Lord Chuanfeng."
......
Then there was a lot of voices of support, which surprised Chuan Feng a little.
I didn't expect that I would have such a status in everyone's hearts without realizing it.
"Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it."
"It's just that I'm used to being lazy and I really can't take on such a heavy responsibility."
“I can only live up to everyone’s expectations.”
"But I think Tsunade is very suitable for this position."
Chuan Feng stood up and first thanked everyone for their recommendation.
Then he politely refused and pushed Tsunade again.
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Tsunade in a proud manner.
Successfully earned a glare from Tsunade.
"Well, that's a shame."
Everyone was a little bit unbelievable. Three people who didn't want to be Hokage came out at once.
"I think with Hyuga Nobunaga's qualifications, he can sit in the position of Hokage."
This is a person whose name Chuan Feng cannot remember, and he voted for Nobunaga.
This would be nothing if it happened under normal circumstances. With normal recommendations, anyone could do it!
It's credible that Chang had just chatted with Sarutobi Hiruzen for a few days.
I suddenly felt a little panicked. Is someone trying to plot against me?
He stopped waiting and spoke immediately.
"Nobunaga admits that he is incapable, so please stop saying that."
"We, the Hyuga clan, are willing to support Lady Tsunade."
He already knew the whole story, unlike some people who were still in the dark.
"Thank you."
Tsunade responded with a polite smile. The Hyuga clan had nothing to do with her normally.
But she didn't think too much about it. Apart from Chuan Feng, her voice was the highest.
"Since the Hyuga clan leader supports Lady Tsunade, I, the Uchiha, will join in the fun."
"I support Lady Tsunade."
Fugaku was the youngest clan leader present and this was his first time attending such a meeting.
In the past, even his uncle would not be invited to participate in such discussions.
Hinata Nobunaga looked at him, and neither of them communicated with words.
A slight nod served as a greeting, and after today they were on the same side.
Hinata Nobunaga knew very well that Uchiha had made the right bet and would soon be able to escape from his previous predicament.
In the future in Konoha, the title of the Hyuga clan, the largest clan, may have to be replaced by someone else.
After the two clan leaders spoke, the remaining fence-sitters also followed suit and voted for Tsunade.
After finishing the statistics, Utane Koharu picked up the notebook in her hand.
"Based on your recommendations just now, let me summarize."
"Tsunade has the highest number of internal recommendation votes this time."
“We are ahead by a huge margin.”
"I think there is no need for a vote of confidence from the jonin."
"What do you think?"
Utane Koharu was too embarrassed to say that Tsunade was the only candidate and everyone else had rejected it.
It seems that the position of Hokage is a hot potato.
Everyone present knew that once all the ninja families in the village agreed, the other jonin had no right to refuse.
"I think it's okay."
Chuan Feng spoke first now, and the vote of confidence would be a waste of time and was really unnecessary.
"can."
Then there was a chorus of approval.
"That's it, the meeting is over."
"Once the Daimyo's appointment letter arrives, Tsunade will officially become the Fourth Hokage of our Konoha Village."
"We will hold the inauguration ceremony then. The meeting is adjourned."
Utatane Koharu ended the meeting neatly and efficiently.
Everyone started to disperse, Kawakaze and Tsunade smiled at each other, everything was said without words.
