Chapter 176: Minato is about to take office, and everyone looks at Haneda!
The Great Elder immediately agreed first:
"Yes, with Lord Haneda leading the charge, the Uchiha will become great again under the leadership of Lord Haneda and the clan leader!"
The second elder immediately echoed:
"That's right! Lord Haneda is resourceful and has foreseen everything. He has arranged everything long ago!"
The second elder did not forget to apologize for what happened before:
"I am ashamed. I almost ruined the clan's great event."
The other elders also echoed, and for a while, there was a flood of flattery.
……
Haneda couldn't stand this kind of flattery, so he waved his hand and said:
"Fortunately, I am not in charge of Uchiha affairs. The real affairs still depend on the clan leader, Brother Fugaku, and the elders."
The Great Elder reacted instantly and praised Fugaku:
"Yes! With Master Haneda's planning and Master Clan Leader's unwavering implementation, great things can be accomplished!"
There was another round of flattery involving Haneda and Fugaku, which made Fugaku, who was always called stupid, feel like he was on a whim.
Fugaku, who had been pointed at by his father and elders for many years, finally stood up!
He glanced at Haneda secretly.
All this is thanks to my sworn brother!
dong dong dong~
Soon, an ANBU arrived at Haneda's door and knocked politely.
"Master Haneda, the Hokage has called a jonin meeting and asked you to come over."
It was the first time that Fugaku and the elders saw such a polite and respectful ANBU ninja, and they felt a little strange.
However, thinking of the incoming Minato, they also understood the Anbu ninja's desire to make progress.
There is no other reason. With the relationship between Haneda and Minato, even if they remove their strength, it is enough for them to walk around Konoha in a domineering manner!
"The fruits of victory are about to ripen."
"Notify the other Uchiha jonin to gather at the old place."
Haneda picked up a black uniform from the hanger, put it on, opened the door and walked out.
Only a handsome back is left.
…………
At this time, many civilian jonin and family ninjas had gathered in the Hokage Building.
Sarutobi, Nara, Akimichi, Aburame, Hinata...
Most of the jonin from the major families are in place.
In the meeting room, at the elders' table.
Danzo's expression was terrifyingly grim.
Orochimaru actually betrayed him and left Konoha!
The Hokage candidate he had supported had become a traitor!
At this time, Minato also came over.
Almost all eyes in the conference room turned to Minato.
Danzo looked at Minato, who was only in his twenties, and clenched his teeth.
The position of the Fourth Hokage should have belonged to Orochimaru, and it was impossible for a junior like Minato to succeed him.
Moreover, once Minato succeeds as Hokage, his Root might be disbanded, even if he retains the organization.
But if funding is cut off, the Root's power will only grow weaker.
Da da da~
Rhythmic and regular footsteps sounded outside the meeting room.
Haneda walked into the conference room with many Uchiha jonin.
The jonin from all the major families looked at Haneda and the Uchiha clan behind him.
They knew that they were the first family to stand up for Watergate.
The Uchiha would definitely gain Minato's trust.
The Uchiha, who were already powerful enough, will rise to a new level!
The decision to take sides was most likely made by Haneda.
You know, Haneda and Minato have a very good personal relationship.
This is something that everyone has witnessed during the Third Ninja World War!
Whether it's emotion or interest, Uchiha and the next Hokage are bound together!
Everyone looked at Haneda with eyes filled with admiration, worship, or complexity.
Danzo looked at Haneda and the Uchiha with an obvious smile behind him, gritting his teeth.
The naturally evil Uchiha is about to cause chaos!
When Minato succeeds as the Fourth Hokage, that brat Haneda will definitely target the Root!
Go against Tiangang! !
At that time, what would the Root use to fight against the Uchiha who had the support of the Hokage? !
The feeling of frustration and helplessness fermented in Danzo's heart.
He looked up at the Sandaime on the stage and cursed inwardly.
Hiruzen's foolish decision will eventually bring disaster to Konoha!
But Haneda didn't notice any of this at all.
His eyes were always on Minato, and Kakashi.
Afterwards, Haneda and the Uchiha people sat down.
Suddenly, everyone in the conference room was present.
The Uchiha occupy one-tenth of the seats for the Jonin.
The Sandaime coughed a few times, indicating that he was about to speak.
"Last night, the Anbu discovered that Orochimaru was conducting inhumane human experiments on ninjas from the same village."
"After verification, the victims included Genin, Chunin, ANBU Jonin, and even his students Might Guy, Mitarashi Anko, and Shiranui Genma, all of whom were killed..."
"As his teacher and as Hokage, I feel deeply guilty and intend to resign as Hokage and be succeeded by Minato."
After the Sandaime finished speaking, Kakashi couldn't help but stand up and asked anxiously:
"Hokage-sama, how is Gai now?"
The Sandaime consoled him, "He's still in the hospital, and his life is not in danger for now."
Hearing this, Haneda thought of Orochimaru's character and felt a little emotional.
Even when Orochimaru defected, he did not forget to consider his disciples.
In order to make Kai and the others feel at ease staying in Konoha, he deliberately attacked them...
Suddenly, Haneda sighed, worried about Kai's mental state, and planned to visit Kai after the meeting.
The Sandaime on the podium continued:
"Next, let Minato say a few words."
Minato clenched his fists, his hands shaking slightly with excitement.
Facing the smiles of Haneda, Kakashi and Kushina, he walked forward step by step with the dreams of himself and his lover.
"I, I... am very happy to be recognized by everyone."
"It also helped me realize my and my lover's dream. I'm so excited and don't know what to say."
Minato remembered a book he had read, and the words about testimonials were all accompanied by gratitude.
He glanced at Kushina, then at Haneda, and smiled:
"I am very grateful to my love Kushina for her continued support and encouragement, and I am also grateful to Haneda for inspiring me in ninjutsu."
"I still remember clearly that Haneda saved me and my lover two years ago."
"That involves a secret, but it's not important now..."
Minato continued with his speech, while the jonin in the audience had already drifted to Haneda.
Uchiha Haneda actually saved the incoming Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki two years ago!
God!
They actually have a life-or-death friendship!
The heads of the major ninja clans looked towards the location where Uchiha Haneda was tacitly.
They know very well that the Uchiha clan with the support of Haneda will surely rise in the future!
Looking back seven years ago, Haneda was just a child protected by Uchiha and Sakumo.
In just seven years, he has grown into a big man capable of protecting his family and guarding Konoha!
Danzo, who was sitting at the elders' table, felt very uncomfortable.
He seemed to have seen the miserable state of the Root after Minato took office.
With the support of the Uchiha family, the first family of Konoha, Namikaze Minato will be the de facto Hokage when he takes office!
If Minato had a desire for power, elders like him would be the first to be dealt with!
And all these reasons ultimately come down to that inherently evil Uchiha brat and Orochimaru!
"Damn it!"
Danzo cursed inwardly.
He looked up at Hiruzen and thought with dismay:
"Look, Hiruzen!"
"Sooner or later, you will regret your stupid decision!"
