Chapter 61

The two of them were so busy that they had to face each other.

Outside the Hokage Building.

Uchiha Hikaru looked up at the majestic Hokage Building, and the Hokage's logo was awe-inspiring.

"Is this the office of the Hokage that Naruto mentioned?"

Uchiha Hikaru turned to look at Naruto and asked in confusion: "Why is it called Hokage?"

Naruto explained: "The shadow is the highest leader of the village. The name of Hokage was proposed by the first generation Hokage when he went to meet with the daimyo of the Land of Fire. Because we are in the Land of Fire, we are named after Hokage."

"However, the Hokage is not as simple as just being the leader of a village. The real meaning behind it is to secretly protect the ninjas of the Land of Fire and protect the ninjas of this country from disasters."

"From disasters?"

Hearing these four words, Uchiha Hikaru's expression was stunned.

The previous scenes flashed in his mind.

Endless wars, treating human lives as worthless.

How many families were broken apart, and how many people died.

The blood dyed the earth red, and there were incomplete corpses everywhere.

The war scenes at that time formed a sharp contrast with the prosperous scenes at this time.

Peace is hard-won!

Uchiha Hikaru was filled with emotion.

He looked up at the Konoha Village logo on the Hokage Building again, and a sense of awe arose in his heart.

So, is this the meaning of Hokage?

Kakashi and Shisui glanced at Naruto in surprise. They didn't expect to hear such an explanation.

Sasuke walked to Naruto's side, his tone was calm, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "As expected of the seventh generation Hokage of Konoha Village, these words are really thought-provoking!"

Naruto smiled and said nothing more, but walked directly into the Hokage Building.

"Let's go, let's go and see what's going on now!"

Everyone followed closely.

Walked into the Hokage's office.

The third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was still sitting in the position of Hokage at this time.

Tsunade sat on the left hand side.

Jiraiya stood next to Tsunade.

Then came the consultants of Konoha Village, Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu.

Seeing the scene at this time, Naruto was stunned.

He thought that Granny Tsunade had already reached an agreement with the Third Hokage.

After all, Granny Tsunade had produced the evidence of the village elders, and Master Jiraiya was cheering on the side.

Even if the Third Hokage wanted to deny it, there was no way.

But looking at the situation at the moment, it seems that there are still some things that have not been resolved.

What is it?

"Granny Tsunade, I'm back!"

Naruto walked into the Hokage's office and stood aside.

Sasuke, Shisui, Kakashi, Uchiha Hikaru and Orochimaru followed closely and stood with Naruto.

When they saw Naruto, Sasuke and Shisui, everyone had no reaction.

When they saw Uchiha Hikaru, a trace of curiosity appeared on everyone's faces, as if they were guessing the identity and origin of this child.

Until Orochimaru appeared in front of everyone, everyone couldn't help but look horrified, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Orochimaru?

Why is he here?

What is he doing here?

Tsunade and Jiraiya looked at Naruto, and were extremely shocked.

Before, Naruto said that he had found Orochimaru. I thought he was joking. It was true that he didn't find him!

But how did he do it?

Orochimaru defected from the village and hid his whereabouts. No one knew where he was.

How did he find him?

He actually did it before, saying that the three ninjas would return at the same time!

This kid is really good!

When the Third Hokage saw Orochimaru appear, his face was extremely gloomy.

This guy who defected from the village had never been found. How come he suddenly came back now?

And from his appearance, he seemed to be in the same group with Naruto.

When did they collude?

What did he want to do this time?

The Third Hokage glanced at Tsunade and Jiraiya next to him, and suddenly thought of something, frowning slightly.

Could it be...

When he thought of this, his heart couldn't help but sink a little.

It seems that his time as Hokage has come to an end.

Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu beside him became nervous the moment they saw Orochimaru appear. They stared at Orochimaru with vigilance and shouted at him.

"Orochimaru, you dare to return to Konoha so brazenly. Aren't you afraid of being executed?"

"I let you escape before, so you should have stayed and hid. You actually dared to come back. Are you really looking for death?"

Seeing how excited the two were, Orochimaru raised his mouth and said

He said hoarsely, "Sorry, if it were you, I wouldn't be worried!"

Orochimaru's tone was full of sarcasm.

This made Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu and other consultants very angry.

This Orochimaru was so arrogant!

But they only dared to rebuke him verbally, but did not dare to take any actual action.

Because they all knew that what Orochimaru said was the truth. Now they were used to being pampered, so where was the strength they had when they were young?

If they fought with Orochimaru, they would not get any advantage.

After all, although Orochimaru was a traitor, he was still one of the three ninjas and was very powerful.

It was not worth it to fight with him!

"Bang!"

During the quarrel between the two sides, a fierce slapping sound was heard, suppressing all the discussions.

Everyone turned their eyes to the source of the sound.

Tsunade slapped her hand on the table, glanced at everyone, and her expression was serious, as if she could not tolerate any rebuttal.

"Enough! Be quiet!"

Tsunade stopped the two sides from arguing, and when they all quieted down, she turned to look at the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Old man, do you want to speak or do I want to speak?"

The whole person was very resolute and swift, and no one dared to resist at all.

Everyone looked at the Third Hokage, waiting for him to speak.

Naruto and Sasuke looked at the Third Hokage, and felt that the Third Hokage looked much older at this time.

Although he was also very old, he had never felt so old before.

At this moment, his spirit became very depressed, as if he had encountered something that he was completely powerless to do, and there was only endless melancholy on his face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen swept his eyes over the people present, sighed helplessly, and then slowly opened his mouth and announced: "Let me tell you, the Hokage succession ceremony will be held tomorrow, and Tsunade will succeed as the new Hokage."

As soon as these words came out, an uproar was caused.

Mitomon En and Utatane Koharu and other consultants all looked horrified, as if they couldn't believe it.

"Third generation..."

Utatane Koharu wanted to say something.

But the third generation raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't say anything. I called you here not to discuss with you, but to inform you!"

The third generation glanced at everyone and said solemnly: "This matter has been decided. No one is allowed to refute it."

"But third generation, why?"

Mitomon En was very puzzled.

The third generation sighed deeply and said: "I am old, and it's time to hand over the village to the young people!"

At the end, he looked at Tsunade, Jiraiya, Naruto and others, his eyes full of helplessness.

If he could, he wouldn't want to do this.

But there was no way, because Tsunade had those evidences in her hands.

In order to protect his friends, he had to do this.

Although he couldn't bear it, the consultants of the third generation had to leave.

This is a political deal!

Koharu Utane wanted to argue a few more words, but was stopped by Mito Kado En.

"Mito you..."

Koharu Utane saw Mito winking at her, and her heart skipped a beat. She rationally chose to shut up.

After the third generation finished explaining the important things, he looked at Naruto, with a trace of uneasiness in his eyes, and asked: "Naruto, Danzo... is he dead?"

Please "urge for more updates", please "generate power with love", thank you dear stepfathers and stepmothers!
