Chapter 168: Your assistant Hokage is back!
Darui rubbed his eyes, staring at Uchiha off in the distance, with an expression of disbelief.
The Uchiha clan broke with Konoha, a civil war raged, and finally the whole family left the village. Uchiha and Konoha have thus become life-and-death enemies, and everyone in the Ninja world knows it.
In this situation.
As the leader of the Uchiha, Duan actually returned to Konoha alone, what is he planning to do?
Negotiate with Konoha on behalf of Uchiha to seek reconciliation?
Not too possible.
Or is it that the war between Uchiha and Konoha is not over yet, and if he comes back this time, is he going to continue to take revenge on Konoha?
at this time.
Xi and Darui both held their breath and waited nervously, their minds spinning rapidly, trying to guess Duanhui Konoha\'s intention.
Sudden.
Duan stopped in his tracks, as if he had sensed the gaze of the two of them, he tilted his head and looked this way.
In his eyes, there was a scarlet Taiji Yin-Yang fish pattern, and a pair of eyes exuded a strange light.
Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
Xi and Darui\'s expressions suddenly changed, and they subconsciously avoided Duan\'s gaze, not daring to look at him.
But it turns out, they were overstretched.
Because, Duan just showed a smile from a distance, waved to the two of them as a greeting, then turned around and walked into the village.
"Well…"
Xi and Darui breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at each other, looking at each other.
Duan strode towards the south gate of Muye Village.
He came back this time, neither to reconcile with Konoha, nor to fight with Konoha, he was just a spectator.
A bystander who witnessed Konoha\'s destruction.
Then, why not sneak back to Konoha?
Because sneaking is not the way to go, and his transformation and camouflage skills are in a mess, and it is easy for Konoha ninjas to see through.
Since this is the case, it is better to come back swaggeringly.
The guards at the south gate are two Konoha Chunin—Kamizuki Izumo and Gang Zitie.
"U, Uchiha off?!"
They recognized Duan immediately, and they couldn\'t help exclaiming, with a ghost-like expression on their faces.
Facing the approaching Duan, the two of them trembled all over, unable to move because of fear.
finally.
He could only stand where he was, watching Duan pass through them and enter Konoha majestically.
Yile Avenue.
Duan walked on the main road of this Konoha, looking around.
Konoha seems to have gradually recovered from the civil strife two days ago. The streets are full of busy villagers, and reconstruction work is in full swing.
but.
Seeing Duan, all the Konoha ninjas and villagers stared wide-eyed and froze in place.
"Run!"
I don\'t know who came back to God and shouted.
The next second, everyone fled in all directions in horror, and the street suddenly screamed and became chaotic.
Uchiha is back!
This nightmarish news spread quickly throughout Muye Village.
"Am I that scary?"
Duan looked at the chaotic crowd in front of him, and shook his head.
Immediately, walked towards the end of Yile Avenue.
Hokage Building.
This landmark building that has stood in Konoha for more than 50 years was severely damaged in the previous war. It was once crumbling and almost turned into ruins.
Fortunately, after two days of emergency repairs, the Huoying Building finally avoided the fate of collapse and resumed normal use.
At the moment.
Inside the building, the huge conference room was crowded with people.
Konoha\'s high-level officials, chiefs of various ethnic groups, and all Junin, more than a hundred people gathered together, and a major meeting is being held.
The third generation cannot absolve himself of the responsibility for this civil strife, and almost all the people below can\'t bear him.
Sandaime is a smart man.
Taking advantage of not being kicked out, he took the initiative to announce his abdication and no longer serve as the head of Muye Village, which can be regarded as keeping a face for himself.
However, before unloading the position of Hokage, the third generation did one last thing.
That is to deal with the assets of the Uchiha clan.
When Uchiha fled Konoha in a hurry, although he took a lot of things and property with him, he couldn\'t take a lot of land and property with him.
The third generation intends to distribute these things to Konoha\'s major families as compensation to appease people\'s hearts.
Maybe because of this reason.
Although just experienced a civil strife with heavy casualties, the atmosphere in the meeting room was not as heavy as expected, but rather relaxed and happy.
"It\'s been so many years, Uchiha, the group of hated guys, finally rolled out of Konoha, I\'m really happy."
"Although I paid a painful price this time, it\'s totally worth it! Konoha will only get better without Uchiha."
"Uchiha has a lot of property in the village, I don\'t know how much we can share."
"..."
The patriarchs and Junin are talking loudly or whispering.
"Ahem."
Sandaime coughed twice, cleared his throat, attracted everyone\'s attention by the way, and quieted the conference room.
In the eyes of everyone expecting, he was about to preside over the carve-up meeting.
Whoosh.
An Anbu suddenly appeared in the conference room, sweating profusely and reported to Sandaimehui:
"Master Hokage, Uchiha has returned to the village and is heading for the Hokage building!"
What? !
Hearing the news, everyone in the meeting room changed their expressions drastically as if they had been hit by a thunderbolt, and stood up from their seats.
at this time.
There was a bang.
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and under the watchful eyes of hundreds of horrified eyes, Uchiha walked in with great strides.
"Yo, everyone is in a meeting here."
Looked around suddenly, greeted everyone, and asked casually, "What were you talking about just now, I seem to have heard someone say that they want to carve up the property left by the Uchiha clan?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone did not know whether it was due to guilt or fear, and they all shed cold sweat.
"I don\'t care about the rest, but the meat reform department is my painstaking effort. Whoever dares to step into the gym, I will kill his entire family."
Duan calmly spoke out the heartbreaking warning, then walked across the entire meeting room, walked to the side of Sandaime, and pulled a chair.
Da Ma Jin Dao sat down.
His words and deeds stunned everyone.
"Protect Hokage-sama!"
A group of Anbu reacted first, drew out ninja swords one after another, and surrounded Duan group.
"What does this mean?" Broken brows frowned and asked displeasedly.
What\'s the meaning?
Shouldn’t we be asking you this sentence?
Everyone in the conference room complained wildly in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out in front of Duan.
Three generations looked suspicious, his eyes flickered for a long time, and finally said:
"Broken, I thought... you won\'t come back."
Judging hearing the words, puzzled:
"I am the assistant of Hokage. When Konoha is in great trouble, how can I have the heart to leave the village?"
Those words made the third generation\'s mouth open, and he didn\'t know how to respond for a while.
In the crowd, a voice suddenly came out, shouting at Duan with righteous indignation:
"The Uchiha clan committed the crime of treason, and you bear the unshirkable responsibility. Are you still ashamed to say that you are the assistant of Hokage?"
oh?
Duan turned his head to look, only to see the eyes of the people dodging, and he didn\'t know who was shouting.
Faced with questioning, he was not in a hurry, and asked everyone:
"Uchiha broke with Konoha, what does it matter to me?
Let me ask you, when the Uchiha clan and the Anbu battle broke out, did I end up participating in the battle, and did I kill even one Konoha ninja? "
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.
Juan continued:
"As the assistant of Hokage, I not only bounced Nine-Tails\' Tailed Beast Jade, knocked it to the ground on the spot, but also knocked away Konoha\'s enemy Uchiha Obito. Are these not my achievements?"
"Well…"
Everyone was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really the case.
However, many people quickly came to their senses and questioned Duan again:
"Stop pretending, Uchiha off. Who doesn\'t know, you are the real leader of the Uchiha clan. How can it be none of your business that Uchiha launched a coup?"
Duan shook his head and let out a long sigh.
I saw him stand up slowly, and said with a sad face:
"The Uchiha clan has long fallen into a narrow nationalism, putting the interests of the family before the interests of the village, it is really hateful.
This group of guys, just because of a Uchiha Shisui will fight Konoha desperately, it\'s too unstructured!
The Great Will of Fire tells us:
If the village wants a person to die, he should die.
The village wants Zhishui to donate his kaleidoscope, shouldn\'t he be ecstatic to donate his eyes? You know, this is his honor, an opportunity for him to dedicate to Konoha.
How many people want to fight for such an opportunity, but they can\'t get it.
The consciousness of the Uchiha clan is too low.
And I, Uchiha, am a person who transcends narrow nationalism.
As the assistant of Hokage, I always firmly believe in the will of fire, and always think about the village. Whoever confuses me with Uchiha people is insulting me.
For Konoha, I will continue to perform the duties of Hokage Assistant, and vow to dedicate myself to Konoha to the end, and shed the last drop of blood in my body. "
No one thought of it.
Judging that such a "righteous cut" has come, to draw a clear line with the Uchiha clan, what he said is true.
He was stunned.
Everybody knows he\'s talking nonsense, but there\'s not much they can do about him.
No one dared to speak, asking Duan to dedicate his Sharingan, or even his life, to Konoha as he himself said.
Whoever really dares to say this will definitely "dedicate" that person first.
It comes down to it.
Still because of strength.
The reason why Uchiha Duan dared to go back to Konoha alone, and walked into this conference room swaggeringly, shows that he has nothing to fear.
What he relies on is an unfathomable power.
So far.
Uchiha has never been defeated, no matter who the enemy he faces, whether he faces a single enemy or a group of enemies.
His terrifying muscles, as well as the pair of scarlet and monstrous kaleidoscopes, exude a powerful oppressive force all the time, making everyone present fearful.
Although he doesn\'t want to admit it, this man is an undefeated myth.
Even if all the people present rush forward, can they kill Duan?
Even if he could really kill Duan, how many lives would Konoha have to pay as a price, who would be the first to rush to die?
at last.
Everyone unanimously looked at the third generation.
After all, he is still Hokage, at least in name, he is the only one who can hold down the "Hokage Assistant".
Third Daimu\'s face showed embarrassment, and he had a headache.
He considered it carefully, but still bit the bullet and said:
"Broken, it may be a little inappropriate for you to continue serving as the assistant of Hokage..."
"Yeah?"
Interrupted the words of the third generation, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Do you mean to let me go one step further and become the fifth Hokage?"
Obviously, he had misinterpreted the words of the third generation, and when he spoke, everyone in the conference room was shocked.
but.
Duan immediately smiled again and said:
"No, I don\'t have the ambition to be Hokage, and I know I\'m not capable enough, so I just want to assist Hokage conscientiously. By the way, who will Konoha\'s fifth generation be? It\'s really exciting."
at this time.
Ban Shuan Xiaochun and Mito Menyan, who had been silent for a while, suddenly took over the interrupted words, and said coldly:
"We have already nominated Jiraiya as the Fifth Hokage to the Daming House of the Land of Fire. I believe the daimyo will make an official appointment soon."
This is a warning, don\'t have any wishful thinking about the position of Hokage.
Sandaime also immediately echoed in a deep voice: "Like the two advisors Xiaochun and Yan, I also nominated Jiraiya, and I think he is the most suitable candidate."
Jirai was also absent, because he was injured in the battle with Kyuubi, and he is recuperating at Konoha Hospital.
However, due to Duan\'s sudden appearance, Third Generation has secretly ordered his subordinates to notify Jiraiya.
Konoha today.
If there is anyone who can compete with Uchiha, it seems that only Jiraiya is left.
Hearing that Jirai will also become the new Hokage.
No one in the conference room was surprised, obviously they had already guessed it.
"Um."
Even Duan nodded, seeming to agree that Zilai is also a good candidate, but he still asked, "By the way, I have the right to nominate the Fifth Hokage candidate, right?"
"Of course, but you can\'t nominate yourself." Xiaochun stared at Duan and said with a straight face.
"Okay, I want to nominate... Danzo."
Juan\'s gaze flashed, and his words were startling.
Danzo?
What a joke!
When everyone heard Danzo\'s name from the mouth, the expressions on their faces all became very exciting.
Juan ignored everyone’s expressions, but stated his reasons for nominating Danzo in a serious manner:
"Danzo is the former assistant of Hokage, who has devoted himself to Konoha for decades. Except for the third generation, he is the person who has made the greatest contribution to Konoha.
So many years.
Three Daime most trusted and valued Danzo, that\'s why he was released from Anbu Prison, allowing Danzo to seize Shisui\'s Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and even handed Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to Danzo.
Although Danzo accidentally caused the Nine-Tails Rebellion and killed so many Konoha ninjas, no one can deny that his starting point is good, and he is wholeheartedly for Konoha.
A person like this, isn’t he even worthy of a Hokage nomination?
Hokage-sama, what do you think? "
While talking, he looked at the third generation.
Anyone can tell that what he said seems to be nominating Danzo, but he is actually pointing at the nose of the third generation and cursing.
The third generation\'s face darkened.
He could feel that, after a lot of yin and yang, the Konoha people in the conference room became more resentful towards him as Hokage.
