Chapter 324 324 Who will be the Hokage?

After coming out of Izuna's office, the four direct disciples of the Second Hokage looked at each other awkwardly.

None of them dared to say in front of Uchiha Izuna that the Second Hokage appointed the Third Hokage to be succeeded by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

They dare not.

…

Two days later, Senri Hinata, the leader of the Hyuga clan and the captain of the rescue team sent by Izuna to find Senju Tobirama, brought back news from the Moon Country.

The ninjas of the Moon Country have found the body of Senju Tobirama... Senju Tobirama in advance.

Tsukigakure returned his body to Hinata Chisato, and two days later, he was brought back to Konoha by Hyuga Chisato and others.

When they saw Senju Tobirama's body, Sarutobi Hiruzen and several of Senju Tobirama's direct disciples, as well as members of the Senju family, were immediately filled with grief. They knelt down at the entrance to Konoha Village and cried bitterly. .

Quan Nai immediately ordered a state funeral.

The efficiency of ninjas is really hard to say.

In the afternoon, the huge Konoha Village was decorated with white ribbons, and every household wore white clothes to express their condolences.

Early the next morning, the funeral of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama began.

In the eighteenth year of Konoha, the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama was besieged by the rebel ninja of Kumogakure, Ginko Ginkaku, and an unknown rebel ninja of Takigakure, and died in battle.

It had only been three years since he took up the position of Hokage.

When he took office, due to Uchiha Izuna's relationship, many things in the original work were not implemented.

Therefore, when future generations evaluate him, most of them use the word "moderate" because this Hokage did not leave too dazzling achievements.

Under the brilliance of the elder brother of the First Hokage and the two other three heroes, he really seemed to be eclipsed.

"Waaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

At the funeral, a baby's cry broke the dead silence.

It was the Senju little princess, Senju Tsunade, who was being held by Senju Rei.

This year, she is three years old and has no concrete concept of "death". She only knows that she will never see her second grandfather again.

Under such feelings, the girl, who was only three years old, couldn't help crying for a while.

Although her mother kept comforting her, she still couldn't stop.

"Let's go."

Standing at the forefront of the Uchiha, Hinata, Hatake, Kaguya and other Ninja families, Izuna said indifferently and turned around to leave.

When the people behind him saw this, they quickly dispersed and separated a path.

When passing by Senju Rei who was holding Tsunade, Izuna gently covered little Tsunade's head with one hand.

After about two seconds, he gently let go of his hand.

In just two seconds, little Tsunade felt an indescribable warmth gently wrap her petite body in it, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

As the parents, Senju Tomokazu, Senju Rei, and the Senju clan next to them, Inokacho, Sarutobi, Shimura and other families are all Ninja factions looking away with complicated faces.

Now, Konoha is really going to change.

…

On the afternoon of the funeral, in Konoha's highest conference room.

The position of Hokage has become vacant.

Located opposite it, the position of the head of the Shinobu tribe represents the highest power of Konoha at this time.

This meeting was mainly to discuss how to deal with Kumogakure, and to search for and kill the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama, Gold and Ginkaku, and the unknown traitor of Takigakure.

And...the position of the next Hokage.

In this meeting, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo were standing next to their fathers, who were the heads of their families.

Even the civilian ninjas Mito Kadoen and Koharu Koharu were standing there.

Normally, they would not be qualified to stand here.

"Then, now that Hokage-sama's tragic death has become a reality, we should go on with strength."

There was no emotion in Quan Nai's tone, and it was impossible to tell whether his mood was sad or happy when he said this.

"There are only two things that need to be discussed at this supreme meeting. I believe everyone understands it without me saying it, right?"

As soon as Quan Nai said these words, everyone nodded with a strong heart.

"Yun Yin must make them pay for this treacherous behavior!"

"That's right! Lord Hokage has sincerely formed an alliance with them, but he dares to plot against me, Konoha!"

"Boss Izuna, please give the order! Let's assemble our troops immediately and attack Kumogakure!"

"The Kingdom of the Moon and the Kingdom of Tang have also agreed to assist us. Let alone victory, it is not a bad idea to flatten Yunyin Village."

Everyone in the Shinobu tribe was filled with righteous indignation and demanded that Ta Yugakure start a war.

But they don't know if they are really angry about Senju Tobirama's death, or because of their own little calculations in their hearts.

Under such a situation, representatives of dove factions like Ino Lu Die would not dare to suggest such a suggestion as "talk to Kumo Gakure again."

Otherwise, even if they are not stabbed to death by hawks like Uchiha and Kaguya, they will still be drowned by the spit of these people.

"Don't be anxious, everyone!"

Uchiha Ise suddenly spoke up and said: "These bastards of Kumogakure are of course unforgivable, but what is more important now is the position of the next Hokage, right?"

In an instant, everyone's faces began to turn red.

Involuntarily, he glanced at Quan Nai from the corner of his eye.

Nonsense!

Under such a situation, would anyone dare to compete with Uchiha Izuna for the position of Hokage?

You must know that the Uchiha clan is watching.

The first Hokage was Senju Hashirama, and most people believed this.

The Second Hokage is Senju Tobirama, and many people have already criticized him.

Because from that moment on, Uchiha Izuna was better than Senju Tobirama in every aspect.

In the end, due to Senju Hashirama's decision, Uchiha Madara's departure, and Izuna himself was not interested in the position of Hokage.

The combination of these three major reasons barely allowed Senju Tobirama to secure the position of Hokage.

However, it is actually not very stable.

Because Senju Hashirama died and Senju Tobirama came to power, Izuna, who had just been stripped of his military power, immediately came up with a new plan - to establish a ninja department.

This super department has so much power that it rivals the Hokage.

In this way, a political deal was reached with Senju Tobirama.

With great difficulty, the village avoided political disputes.

But it also laid the foundation for a huge split between the two factions.

"Lord Izuna, can you let me say something?"

At this time, Sarutobi Sasuke, the leader of the Sarutobi clan, suddenly spoke.

"As an elder of the management department, of course I am qualified to speak."

Izuna replied.

Sasuke Sarutobi swallowed and said: "First of all, I, the Sarutobi clan, have absolutely no desire to be the Hokage. However, before the death of the Second Hokage, I had planned to appoint Hiruzen Sarutobi as the Third Hokage. This... "

"uh-huh?"

Uchiha Ise's eyes squinted slightly, and he let out a dissatisfied snort.

Sarutobi Sasuke, who was obviously more powerful, was frightened by his look.
