Chapter 61: Hokage Advisor

"Hiruzen, what's going on with Orochimaru?"

Seeing that the overall situation of Danzo's matter had been decided, Mito asked lightly.

Orochimaru is Danzo's important helper in this plan, and the charge of an accomplice is indispensable.

And Orochimaru's biggest identity now is that of the third generation's disciple, so it is very ambiguous whether this matter is related to the third generation.

Others once again focused their attention on the third generation.

"Mito-sama, you know me. If I knew that Danzo would do such a thing, I would definitely be the first to disagree. As for Orochimaru helping Danzo, I don't know either, but with my knowledge From Orochimaru's understanding, he must have been deceived by Danzo to do such a thing. If he knew that the broken seal barrier belonged to the Senju clan, he would definitely not help Danzo."

Sandai had already thought about it and spoke slowly.

The Third Generation did not expect that Orochimaru would be involved in this matter, but his attitude towards his good apprentice was naturally different from that towards Danzo, so he could only protect him with his life.

As for punishment, wait until this incident is over or the war is over.

"So that's it. I believe what you said. Orochimaru is an outstanding ninja. Tsunade also praised him many times in the letter she gave me. He has performed very well on the battlefield. Since he is under Danzo's command, If you are deceived, then the merits and demerits are equal to each other."

Mito nodded after hearing Sandai's explanation.

The Sandai was greatly relieved when he saw Mito gently walking around Orochimaru. He was quite worried that Mito would ask him to punish Orochimaru severely.

After all, no matter how ignorant Orochimaru is, he still can't change his crime of being an accomplice. He will definitely be punished and will never be lightly bypassed like he is now, otherwise everyone can use ignorance to evade responsibility in the future.

The merits and demerits are equal to the merits and demerits.

Orochimaru is indeed not suitable to be Hokage.

The good apprentice was fine, and Sandai was in a much better mood, but the next moment, he was in a bad mood again.

I saw Mito say again: "The position of Hokage Advisor is very important and cannot be left alone for a day. Sandai, who do you think is suitable for this position in the village?"

A carrot and a pit.

Danzo was dismissed from all positions, and the position of Hokage Advisor was vacated. This position was of high authority. Not only did it have the right to meet and advise the Hokage directly, but it also had the right to participate in all major events in the village. It was the highest level in the village. one.

The previous three generations had joined forces with three of his old classmates to firmly hold the village's highest decision-making level in their hands, and no one else could get in.

Now is your chance.

As soon as Mito raised this question, Uchiha Homura immediately looked at the third generation with bright eyes, and even Hinata and Kazuma couldn't help showing longing eyes.

Mito Kabuto and Koharu, who had gone to bed, showed nervous expressions. They had already realized the seriousness of the problem, and the impact of Danzo's resignation had begun to ferment.

The third generation is now very troubled. Although his political level is not high, he has been in power for many years and has been honed. Why can't he clearly see that this involves a struggle for core power.

As expected, Master Mito still blamed him, and this move was just to beat him.

Both Danzo and Orochimaru are related to him. He is definitely responsible for the neglect of personnel and lax teaching. The punishment of the two has been determined, and he will be discussed next.

"Who does Mito-sama think is suitable?"

Sandai said bitterly in his heart.

"I think Taohua is very good."

Mito saw the third generation on the road and announced his choice.

For a moment, everyone in the room focused on Momo next to Mito.

Momoka has been silent since she brought Sandai and others in, silently guarding Mito, with almost zero sense of presence.

But at this moment, her sense of presence was full.

In fact, Momo was shocked when she heard that Mito recommended her as the Hokage advisor. However, she has helped Mito manage various affairs of the Senju clan for many years, and she has long been able to deal with things calmly and remain calm on the surface.

Senju Momoka, an elite jounin of the Senju clan, once assisted the first and second generations of Hokage, and made great contributions to the establishment of the village. In World War I, as the commander of the Senju clan, he fought bloody battles with the enemy, killing There are countless enemies and great achievements in battle.

It can be said that Momoka is a veteran of Konoha, powerful and very prestigious. There is no problem at all in letting her serve as the Hokage's advisor and she can definitely convince the public.

The three generations and others looked at Momo, and couldn't help but think of this Senju who had been very low-key in Konoha for many years, and then had different expressions.

Mito Kado and Koharu, who had been transferred to the dormitory, looked very unhappy, but they didn't say anything, they just looked at the third generation.

Uchiha Homura also looked very unhappy. He looked at Mito, but seeing that Mito didn't look at him at all, he finally chose to remain silent.

Hinata and Kazuma looked up at the ceiling again.

Obviously, all four chose to abstain.

The pressure was once again on the third generation.

"I think it's good, that's it."

Sandai sighed inwardly and reluctantly accepted Mito's suggestion.

He knew in his heart that if he chose to refuse, all his previous decisions would be invalidated. Danzo and Orochimaru's punishment would not be that simple, and he, the Hokage, would not be able to escape implication.

The essence of politics is compromise and balance.

This is his experience after becoming Hokage.

If you make a mistake, you must take responsibility. If you can't shirk it, you have to compromise and offer substantial benefits in exchange.

And judging from the results, it has little impact on him. The Senju clan is also from the Hokage clan. It is not unacceptable to let Senju Moka, who has a good reputation, enter the top level. At least it is better than letting Uchiha It's better to get someone from Hinata to the top.

And he also knew Mito's conscience in doing this. This was to reverse the decline of the Senju clan and at the same time pave the way for Tsunade.

Thinking about the huge price the Senju clan paid in the First World War and their support for him over the years, the third generation felt that it was a good thing to let Senju Momo become the Hokage advisor.

"Okay, then let's continue discussing the treatment of those root ninjas."

Mito said cheerfully.

After a while, the fate of Aburame Ryoma and other root ninjas who participated in destroying the Senju clan's seal barrier was decided during a brief conversation between Mito and others.

The result was execution.

Someone has to take the blame with their life, otherwise how can they eliminate the anger of the Thousand Hands clan and wash away the shame caused by being slapped in the face.

When the main criminal Danzo was determined not to die, the fate of these people had already been decided.

This is the end of this important high-level discussion in Konoha.

. . .

At the same time, in the basement of Naoki's house, Kirito suddenly received two prompts from the plug-in.

[You successfully changed the fate of Aburame Ryoma and obtained 1 strengthening point]

[You successfully changed the fate of Senju Taohua and obtained 1 strengthening point]
