Chapter 2465 After the meeting

"Hizhan, what happened to Orochimaru?"

"The power that has been dead for a long time? Are you referring to Qianye? During this period of time, a considerable part of the power has been handed over, and Qianye has not yet shown up. What are you planning, or are you really sure that this is the case?" Is it really Chiba?"

Watching the crowd leave and announcing the end of the meeting, behind Sandai Hokage who was about to return to the office to handle business as usual, two questioning voices sounded almost simultaneously.

"Oh, Menyanhe and Xiaochun."

But when he heard these two voices, the Third Hokage was not surprised. He just turned his head and looked at the two elders who were also old-looking, but still worked hard and stayed on the front line like himself. Said with some emotion.

"Sun Slash..."

But hearing the slightly emotional words of the Third Hokage, the faces of Mitomon Yan and Zhuanju Xiaoharu, who originally wanted to ask something, changed slightly. After looking at each other, they subconsciously said, in their tone, But already with a bit of regret.

"Is it difficult for you?"

Afterwards, as the two followed Sarutobi Hiruzen into the straight passage leading to Hokage's office, after confirming that there was no one around, they couldn't help but speak.

As old comrades-in-arms for decades, whether on the battlefield or in the political situation, they have fought side by side for a long time, and from childhood to adulthood, although their relatives were different when they were young, after all, they each had their own playmates, but , since they became disciples of the second generation of Hokage, they have been involved in danger many times, and they have become acquainted. Up to now, although because of their respective positions, they have not met once for a long time, and sometimes they even avoid suspicion.

However, their relationship has long been beyond what can be described as partners, relatives, friends, and so on.

No matter whether the political views are the same, no matter whether the positions are opposite, the feelings between them are already deep to a certain extent.

It would not be an exaggeration to use the word "family" to describe it.

At this moment, just relying on the change in the tone of the third Hokage, they have already noticed something.

And since getting to know Ri Zhan, it was the first time they heard the Third Hokage speak in such a tone.

It was obvious that the third Hokage who had been in power for decades in front of him really wanted to abdicate.

I really lost my spirit.

It's also true, unwilling or even unable to become Hokage anymore.

"Is it Chiba?"

And when the voice of the uncontrollable words fell, before the Third Hokage could speak, Zhuan Xing Xiaochun frowned slightly, and spoke again.

According to the current situation, if the third Hokage wants to abdicate and no longer serve as Hokage, then the most suitable candidate is naturally Chiba who has disclosed the fact of survival internally.

Originally, more than ten years ago, before the Fourth Hokage took over, this child and Kakashi were almost the only candidates for the Fifth Hokage. Later, Kakashi lost his vigor due to the mission and fell into confusion. And this kid really started to shine, shaking the entire ninja world.

Gradually, Chiba became the only candidate for the future Fifth Hokage.

Moreover, in order to avoid the situation that the current Hokage will have no successors for a period of time after the death of the previous Hokage, so when the fourth generation of Hokage is being cultivated, Chiba, the candidate for the fifth generation of Hokage, is also started. At that time, he was made an assistant to Hokage, and the right to read the confidential information in the village was gradually opened up, all of which were to cultivate and test the child's character and political outlook.

And the performance of this child, to be honest, can be said to have inspired the entire high-level Konoha, and even some middle-level cadres who knew about it. Same as Hokage.

To the outside world, this child has already demonstrated outstanding military talents, especially in terms of the overall situation, he is simply impeccable. When the Battle of Kikyo Mountain broke out, after the suppression of the Battle of Kikyo Mountain, when World War III broke out, this child used A series of layouts stabilized the situation and brought the ninja world into a certain state of confrontation, which gave Konoha a chance to breathe, especially the single-handed rescue of Sand Hidden’s last vitality and the return of part of Sand Hidden’s young genius. In other words, in terms of military talent and military courage, this kid is almost perfect. Whether it is a majestic strategy or a strange strategy with a sword, he can perfectly control it. Even, he was not too strong at the time and he was able to complete it. It is unbelievable , I am afraid that if this part of information is made public, it is estimated that it will shatter the glasses of all forces in the entire ninja world.

Internally, although this child did not directly participate in the political struggle, his words and deeds suppressed Danzang, who had been in the dark and had extremely different political views with him, and couldn't find him. When it comes to any breakthrough, just by this move, it can be seen that this child has ascended to the position of Hokage, even if the other four shadows put pressure together, Konoha does not have to worry about falling into a disadvantage. Whether it is political talent or political vision and means, this child is also perfect.

At that time, almost everyone believed that Konoha, with the fourth Hokage and the next five Hokages, would be invincible. At that time, Konoha did not waver even if he was surrounded by enemies.

Even, full of hope for the future.

It's just that no one thought, and no one thought, that something like the Kyuubi Rebellion would happen. Overnight, Konoha lost the Fourth Hokage, who can be called the first generation, and because of the appearance of Uchiha Nobuhiko, Chiba must into darkness.

It can be said that, on the bright side, Konoha lost the two pillars of the future overnight. I am afraid that if the old man in front of him hadn't stepped forward and used his prestige and various political means to control the situation, I'm afraid Konoha is really in danger.

And even if the situation is calmed down, although Konoha is not completely devastated, it does not have any advantage.

It can only be said that he barely won the third Ninja World War.

Perhaps, this is also doomed.

God gave Konoha such an existence comparable to the first generation, and there will be an existence similar to Madara Uchiha in the outside world. The two are like old enemies, no, natural enemies, restraining each other, while disturbing the ecology of the current ninja world.

But now, since the existence of Chiba has been disclosed internally, and most of Hokage's authority has been handed over, except that the ministerial figures of various departments cannot be dismissed at will, it can be said that the entire Konoha is said by Chiba. The final decision.

Coupled with Hizhan's words, Zhuanju Xiaochun can only think that the third Hokage is about to officially pass the position of Hokage to the Fifth Hokage, who has been predetermined for a long time.

"Speaking of which, Xiaochun and Kamenyan were already planning to retire before Minato took over."

But her words, at this time, did not get a positive answer from the third Hokage, but she spoke.

"Um……"

In this regard, Zhuanju Xiaochun and Mitomenyan looked at each other again, nodded, and said with some hesitation.

Yes, in fact, when the third Hokage, that is, the Hirizhan in front of him, retired and handed over the position of Hokage to Namikaze Minato, they were actually ready to retire.

After all, as the fourth generation of Hokage, Namikaze Minato's actions are quite excellent. As Hokage, he almost has the demeanor of the first and second generations, and they can also see at that time that Namikaze Minato is determined to solve the Uchiha clan and There have been conflicts between the villages for a long time, and as the old age, especially the second-generation Hokage's cronies and remnants of power, it is not very suitable to be an advisor elder.

To be honest, although they have inherited the political philosophy of the Second Hokage, especially regarding the Uchiha family, they are vigilant and oppressive towards the Uchiha family. If there is a rift between the clan and the village, then, when the Fifth Hokage takes over, then the problem of the Uchiha clan can be resolved without bloodshed, and as long as the problem of the Uchiha clan is resolved and the new Hokage is truly subdued, then the strength of Konoha Definitely able to go up a level.

The strength and combat effectiveness of almost everyone in the Uchiha clan is needless to say.

And because of the problems left over from history, although the Uchiha clan has combat power, it is a pity that the village dare not use it more, and has to be on guard at all times.

And Konoha's other big and strongest family is more or less in a state of protection, and they can't fight for the village with all their strength. In fact, Konoha's two strongest signs, in fact, Konoha cannot be fully used.

As for the Fourth Hokage and Fifth Hokage, Namikaze Minato and Chiba, there is no problem in subduing the Uchiha clan. And with the five generations of Hokage's strategic means, the Uchiha clan will definitely not be able to turn the sky, and at the same time they can find a way to deal with the Uchiha clan's extreme spiritual defects.

The two were convinced of this.

Therefore, in order to facilitate this matter, they are actually willing to retire, to make way for Namikaze Minato to solve the problems left over from the history of the Uchiha clan.

It also makes way for Chiba to completely control the Uchiha clan in the future.

Besides, they are also old, and they have much less work as consultant elders than Hokage, but they have the same things to worry about.

For the two elderly people, there are also some difficulties.

And Mito Menyan's granddaughter Mito Muko has gradually grown into an excellent ninja, and the things that should be handed over to the next generation should also be explained, and it is time to enjoy her old age.

As for Zhuanzhu Xiaochun, although she has no children under her knees, she has devoted her whole life to Konoha, regardless of her merits and demerits, as a widowed old man, she is also ready to live her last days well, and maybe she will try a young one. Sometimes want to do, but after all, there is nothing to do.

Those things that I had agreed with Michiko back then, no, it should be said that it was agreed with the Holy Son, but now I can only achieve it by myself. ,

But after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Konoha fell to the bottom in an instant. Under internal and external troubles, their retirement plans had to be put on hold. As always, they were always worried about things that needed them to worry about.

Also because of the loss of the fourth Hokage, especially when the fifth Hokage may never be able to take office, after all, hunting down Nobuhiko Uchiha or secretly containing him is a matter of life and death.

Even Qianye couldn't say that he could come back alive 100%.

After losing the two, they encountered the problems of the Uchiha clan. They could only support Danzo and eliminate this wild horse that no one could control.

"I don't agree with handing over the position of Hokage to the current Chiba. During this period of time, it was Chiba's unilateral contact. In the dark world, I don't know what happened to him. He was involved in the Nine Tails Rebellion. Lost everything, even if Chiba is a special existence, there are also situations where he is no longer suitable to be Hokage, because of what happened to him, especially the ninja who became crazy and cold after losing everything, as far as we have seen, we don’t know How many, the current Chiba is not necessarily an exception, I think that the current Chiba is no longer suitable for Hokage."

And after this answer, Zhuanzhu Xiaochun frowned slightly, but pushed the topic back to the question about Hokage.

"I will not pass on the location to Chiba."

But at this time, upon hearing the two people's responses, and the words of Zhuanzhu Xiaochun, the Third Hokage shook his head and said.

"Don't pass it on to Chiba?"

In this regard, originally because of the words of the sleeping Koharu, Mitomonyan looked at the sleeping Koharu with a little surprise, suddenly turned his head, looked at the third Hokage, and almost exclaimed in his mouth.

Don't pass it on to Chiba?

At this time, Zhuanzhu Xiaochun, who raised objections, was also taken aback.

Who else can it be passed on to?

At the same time, in the minds of the two of them, after their respective thoughts flashed, the same thought flashed through.

"Xiaochun, I know you are concerned about Qianye. I am afraid that you are the only one among us who thinks about Qianye like this. Indeed, we put too much burden on Qianye. I think he was only in his teens back then. Since then, I have hardly lived a day for myself, and I don’t plan to force Chiba on the matter of Hokage.”

In this regard, the third Hokage showed a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and spoke in a soft tone.

"this……"

Hearing this sentence, Mito Menyan showed some hesitation on his face, and murmured.

He also understood what Sandai Hokage said.

But, is there anyone more suitable than Chiba in Konoha Village now?

I am indeed sorry for Chiba, but compared with the village, Chiba's personal life is a matter of fish and bear's paw.

Cruelness is cruelty, but it is about the thousands of people in the village, as well as the tens of thousands of future generations.

It is even a question of the well-being of everyone in the entire ninja world.

Chiba is definitely an existence that can bring peace to the ninja world, and Konoha Village is the only choice for him.

"Sun Slash..."

At the same time, a complex look flashed across Xiaochun's face when his opinion was adopted.

"I understand what you mean. We do owe Chiba too much. Even because of Zhenye's relationship, we were cautious and didn't give Chiba too much warmth. This time, let me put aside these cautions and be self-willed. Just once."

In this regard, the third Hokage said.

"So, who are the candidates for the Fifth Hokage?"

Hearing this, Xiaochun turned to sleep, but he didn't worry about the previous question, and asked directly.

"This is what I want to tell you, about the candidates for the Fifth Hokage, we..."

But at this time, Xu knew that Xiaochun would ask such a question. The third Hokage's face remained the same, but he said quite seriously:

"Ask Chiba!"
