Chapter 342 Succession to the Fifth Generation
Chapter 344 Succession to the Fifth Generation
Konoha, in the reception room for foreign guests.
"Now, it's time to get up to speed!"
The Fourth Raikage said in a muffled voice, full of impatience.
"Hey, I know things are urgent, but it is precisely because things are urgent that we need to be more careful. Mr. Raikage, you might as well think about it again. Are there any details that are not clear? We can also formulate the next response measures in a more detailed and accurate manner."
The half-white hair, but round face and figure of Akimichi Tofu responded to the Fourth Raikage slowly and did Tai Chi.

On the other side, Orochimaru was drinking tea leisurely.
In the opposite corner, Mei Terumi and Ye Cang were leaning against the window side by side, watching the lively scene of Konoha outside the house.
The Fourth Raikage is a Kage after all, and Konoha must have a senior executive to receive him. Uchiha Fugaku took Nara Shikaku as a temporary assistant to arrange all aspects of the Fifth Hokage's enthronement, and several other senior executives went to the Hokage building.
Only Akimichi Tofu and Orochimaru could come forward.
The main thing was to let Akimichi Tofu, who was experienced, gentle and good at smoothing things over, do this.
Orochimaru simply felt that there were too many things to do in the Hokage enthronement ceremony, so he threw everything to others and came to take a break.
The Fourth Raikage was really disgusted by Akimichi Tofu's temper, and couldn't help but want to stand up and slam the table, but thinking that this was Konoha, he had to sit down angrily.
"Elder Tofu, I know that Konoha is preparing for Uchiha Mingjing's Hokage enthronement ceremony, but this time it was not a simple attack, but we lost four tailed beasts at once!"
It was you who lost the tailed beasts, not us.
Akimichi Tofu took a sip of tea, complaining in his heart, but still put on a kind smile on his face.
"Oh, it's okay, Mr. Raikage, aren't there still two tailed beasts in Konoha? According to the information that Uchiha Itachi, who was undercover in our village and entered the Akatsuki organization, had sent back, Uchiha Madara had to gather all nine tailed beasts if he wanted to revive the Ten Tails. Now the Three Tails and the Nine Tails are in Konoha, and there are high-level combat forces who have mastered space-time ninjutsu to protect them closely, so it must be foolproof!"
Akimichi Tofu said with a smile.
The Fourth Raikage was hesitant to speak, but finally couldn't help sighing.
The key to the problem is that his adopted brother Killer Bee was also captured by Madara!
If he can't be rescued in time, causing the Eight Tails to be pulled out by Madara, then Killer Bee will also be dead?
The Fourth Raikage really wants to rescue Killer Bee himself, but he knows that he will be dead if he goes.
Currently, only Konoha has the power to fight against Madara in the entire ninja world.
But will Konoha agree?
I'm afraid it's unlikely. Konoha must consider its own interests first.
"Senior Qufeng, I know what you are thinking, but... as long as I can save Bee, I can pay whatever price I can, even my life."
The Fourth Raikage said earnestly.
"Lord Raikage, you should know how much your life is worth to Konoha. There is no need to say more about this. Now is the most critical moment since the establishment of Konoha Village. I think there should be nothing that can affect this. If there is anything, Lord Raikage might as well wait and talk to the newly appointed Fifth Hokage."
Orochimaru put down the teacup, and his slender snake eyes stared at the Fourth Raikage, smiling and saying.
The Fourth Raikage was tangled and did not answer.
He heard the meaning of Orochimaru's words.
If Konoha wants to take action immediately, the price of his life as the Fourth Raikage is not enough.
What else do they have?
Even though he was a hot-tempered and reckless man, the Fourth Raikage was still a Kage who had served for more than ten years, and he was not without any political wisdom.
Under this situation, Konoha probably would not value those materials, money, and even land as much as in the past.
What Konoha really values, or what the entire Kumogakure Village can value, is probably only the Kumogakure Village itself.
As the Fourth Raikage, does he have this determination?
Moreover, even if he is the Kage of the Kumogakure Village, such things cannot be decided by him alone.
Moreover...
[I am the Raikage of the Kumogakure Village, the Kage who shoulders the village..., I cannot put the safety of one person above the entire village, even if that person is my brother, myself, just like my father did...]
The Fourth Raikage gradually had an answer in his heart, and reluctantly picked up the teacup and drank it all.
Sorry, Bi.
Mei Terumi and Ye Cang looked at each other and saw the complicated expressions in each other's eyes.
When did the Kage of a village become like this?
The arrogant and irritable Fourth Raikage was forced by reality to speak humbly to the Konoha high-level officials. The Fifth Kazekage and the Fifth Mizukage were even more dependent on others and even had to become tools for marriage.
There was no Tsuchikage in the Hidden Rock Village.
The remaining Fourth Kazekage and Fourth Mizukage had long since changed from the supreme Kage to Madara's subordinates.
Among the current Five Kage, only the Hokage still maintained his original status.
Even after Uchiha Mingjing came to power, the position of the Hokage would also become the supreme throne of the past Kage starting from the Fifth Kage...
"Dongdong."
The door was knocked several times and then pushed open.
Standing outside the door was a young and tall Konoha Jounin wearing a black mask and having silver hair.
"It's Kakashi, what's the matter?"
Akimichi Tifeng put down the potato chips he just took out from his pocket and said pleasantly.
"Lord Tofu, Lord Orochimaru, and the succession ceremony of the Fifth Hokage is about to begin. I would like to invite you two to attend the ceremony together with Lord Raikage, Lord Kazekage and Lord Mizukage."
Kakashi glanced around the room and answered after finding nothing unusual.
"Haha, have you finally waited for this moment? As important guests, we'd better leave in time."
Orochimaru stood up from his seat unsteadily, made an inviting gesture, and pointed to the doorway.

β¦
The enthronement ceremony of Hokage was very lively.
There are nearly one million ordinary villagers in Konoha and more than 20,000 ninjas.
This is a fixed entrance, and there are countless others who come here to travel, issue tasks, and do business.
Although the ninja world still maintains a stalemate war on a certain scale, fortunately this time Konoha does not have to fight alone like the previous ninja wars.
Iwagakure and Kumogakure really blocked a large part of the pressure from Sunagakure and Kirigakure.
Given the size of Konoha, although this level of war consumption has brought a certain burden, the large number of orders for war supplies has promoted the economic prosperity of the village in disguise.
Although this is abnormal and will not last for many years, at least in the short term of one or two years it will not have much impact on the interior of Konoha.
If, like the previous great ninja wars, the fight lasts for five, six, seven or eight years, then even Konoha's family will not be able to withstand it.
"Although I have watched it many times, every time I watch it I will sigh. Even during the war, the interior of Konoha is still so prosperous. It is really enviable."
Ye Cang looked at the lively scene on the street and couldn't help but sigh.
In comparison, the lifeless Sunagakure Village is hard to describe.
Even at its busiest time, it's not half as good as this place.
However, although she, the Kazekage, is not a polished commander, she has little to do with the current Sunagakure Village.
"It's in front, right?"
Terumi Mei looked at the newly renovated Hokage Building ahead, which was much taller than before, and said softly.
She feels similar to Ye Cang now.
The Fourth Raikage lowered his head and remained silent.
"Guys, we will take the elevator to the top floor of the Hokage Building, and together with the senior officials of Konoha, we will witness the succession ceremony of the Fifth Hokage."
Kakashi was like a tour guide, guiding the three Kages.
Not far ahead, Shiranui Genma held a Senbon in his mouth and led several ninjas wearing Iwagakure forehead protectors to join Kakashi's team.
"These are..."
Terumi Mei looked over curiously.
"Senior Tsuchikage died in battle, so Teacher Mingjing asked me to bring a few people who can represent Tsuchikage to Konoha to help witness. These four are Kurotsuchi, the granddaughter of senior Tsuchikage, and his apprentices Deidara, Akato, and There is currently their leading jounin, the current deputy Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village, Mr. Shiratsuchi."
Wearing a earth shadow hat and a long yellow and white mixed dress, Bai Tu nodded slightly towards the crowd.
Shiraito is no younger than Ohnoki.
But there is really no successor in Iwagakure Village now. The only person qualified to take over the position of Kage is Huangtu. Among the other people, Akatsuki is ten years old, Deidara is nine years old, and Kurotsuchi is eight years old.
Perhaps more than ten years later, some of them will be able to shoulder this responsibility, but now, they can only let a person who is not very strong, but still has a certain prestige, to serve as the acting Tsuchikage.
Shiraito's status is similar to that of Mito Kaden and Koharu in the third generation. At his peak, his personal strength was close to the level of a movie. However, he is now in his sixties and has declined seriously. However, he helps Onoki handle trivial government affairs. After many years, he still has a certain prestige to lead other ninjas in Iwagakure Village.
"One Kage ascends the throne, and five Kages come to watch. The Hokage of Konoha's status will probably be very different from now on."
An idea suddenly flashed through the minds of many people present.
Everyone followed Kakashi to the side entrance of the Hokage Building and went to the top floor through the elevator.
This place has long been decorated solemnly and solemnly.
Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Fugaku, Tsunade, Kushina, and Sarutobi Hiruzen were in front, and behind them stood Nara Shikaku, Uchiha Shisui, Inuzuka Yu, Aburame Nami, and Yamanaka. Haiyi and others are followed by several core figures in the top ranks, as well as some ninja clan leaders such as Hinata and Hiashi.
Kakashi and Shiranui Genma walked into the crowd in the second row.
Orochimaru and Akimichi Tofu took the three Kages and the Tsuchikage delegation into the first row.
"Everyone has arrived, it's our turn to appear."
Behind the backdrop of Konoha's whirlpool logo, Kato Dan said to the mirror.
"Ah, I understand, Teacher Duan."
Ming Jing nodded to Kato.
So, two people in Hokage robes broke through the crowds on both sides and came to the stage.
At this moment, the square in front of the Hokage Building turned from noisy to extremely quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the big screen below the word "fire" that was newly hung in the Hokage Building.
This is one of the results of the renovation of the Hokage Building, allowing everyone in the Konoha Village to clearly see the details of the Hokage's succession.
"Ding Jing, starting from today, everything in the village will be handed over to you!"
Kato Dan stared at Ming Jing's eyes for a few seconds, and suddenly a smile of relief and relief appeared on his face. He reached out and took off the Hokage hat on his head, and handed it to Ming Jing.
Ming Jing stretched out his hands, took the Hokage hat, and put it on his head.
"I will."
Then he turned around and looked down at the crowd in the square below.
At this moment, the camera placed in front of the railing faithfully performed its duty, transmitting Ming Jing's face to the big screen and into everyone's eyes.
"From now on, I am the Fifth Hokage!"
The sound was transmitted through the air, and in the partition window downstairs, Senju Tobirama took more than a dozen Konoha jounin and used the secret wind escape technique he had just developed to spread the sound throughout Konoha. every corner.
The next second, the huge square, along with the entire Konoha, began to boil.
β¦
β¦
After one hour.
Most of the villagers in Konoha were still partying.
But as the newly appointed Fifth Hokage, Ming Jing has no time to spare.
"The Tsuchikage died in battle and the tailed beast was captured. This is bad news, but it is also good news."
In the high-level conference room, Ming Jing took off the Hokage hat on his head, looked at everyone and said.
"In the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Thunder, Fire and Earth, originally the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Earth could join forces to gain some say in the alliance, but now with the death of Onoki, the third generation Tsuchikage, one of the two core members, the most important bargaining chip in their hands, That is the loss of the most important tailed beast in this war. In this era, they have lost their right to speak. "
"As long as Uchiha Madara is defeated next, then the final words of wind and water can be sent to the two shadows, Yakura and Terumi Mei, and then in the ninja world, there will only be the voice of Konoha. The remaining four major countries had no ability to resist when facing Konoha and allowed us to gradually encroach. "
"So, after I become Hokage, Konoha has only one goal, to dominate the ninja world!"
This is different from the political platform of Konoha in any period in the past.
The political philosophy of the first generation was to maintain peace and never provoke war. The second generation Hokage Xiao Gui Caosui also focused more on internal development and did not show strong aggression to the outside world.
The third generation simply did not have the ability to lead Konoha to invade outside, so they "inherited" the ideas of the first two generations of Hokage.
