Chapter 342: Prepare to Be Independent

After the Third Hokage left, all the elders hurriedly left.

Then Hyuga and other ninja clan leaders left last.

Some of the civilians below had doubts in their eyes, some were confused, and some were exploring.

Hongdou went through another round of baptism. If the Third Hokage was great and glorious in Hongdou's eyes.

After the last incident, the Third Hokage had lost his perfect halo and became a politician.

And after today's events, Hongdou finally knew how deep the Third Hokage was hiding.

Could it be?

The teacher is just a puppet of the Third Hokage! ?

Hongdou couldn't help but shudder.

Some people in the venue had already left one after another.

At this time, a pair of small hands grabbed Hongdou.

Hongdou suddenly came to her senses.

A little girl with red pupils and hair grabbed her.

Hongdou remembered that this was Orochimaru's new recruit.

Her name was Karin.

What about her?

Karin said with a smile:

"Senior Sister Hongdou, Orochimaru asked me to pick you up."

Hongdou's face was full of disbelief. How did the teacher recognize her when she was so fat?

"Come to pick me up?"

Hongdou was a little timid. After all, she really didn't want to be seen by Orochimaru in this state.

Karin dragged Hongdou:

"Hurry up, don't let the adults wait anxiously."

Hongdou had to be dragged away by Karin half-heartedly.

The spies of various forces in the square exchanged glances with each other,

each of them flashing with excitement.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.

I actually ate such a big melon today.

The intelligence personnel only need to bring the intelligence back, and naturally there will be relevant analysts who will analyze useful information from it.

In this situation, the stupider spies.

will think that the Sarutobi clan has developed so many people quietly.

Then, is Orochimaru just a puppet of the Third Hokage?

Those with analytical ability think it's more fun.

The political darkness of Konoha was actually exposed.

The Sarutobi clan is not a bloodline limit family. If you want to make a jonin, the money and time spent are trivial.

The key is that there can't be so many people with such excellent qualifications.

Then there is only one possibility, that is political fraud.

Among these more than 100 jonin, how many are really jonin and how many do not meet the jonin's strength.

Outsiders don't know.

But everyone believes that Konoha will definitely investigate.

Next, Konoha will definitely have a big earthquake inside.

No one is clear about what it will look like in the end.

The major forces have different ideas, but everyone can only exchange glances at the venue.

I didn't dare to discuss it and left the scene.

In the past, after the voting for the Hokage election, the official inauguration time was generally about half a month.

Why did it take two months this time? No one asked, and no one said.

In short, this fifth generation Hokage election ended in a very strange posture.

...

Uchiha and Tsunade and their group soon returned to the clan.

Because of the election for the fifth Hokage, the practical teaching was temporarily suspended today.

The training ground was very empty.

Natsuki sent Naruto and Sasuke away.

Sasuke had been waiting for Itachi to train with him.

Itachi had time now.

Naruto was left behind because he had to tell him something.

Natsuki and Tsunade gathered together.

Natsuki knew that Tsunade had a lot to ask, so she simply opened the conversation first.

"Tsunade-sama, now you know why I asked you those questions."

Tsunade knew that Natsuki was talking about the question she had asked her before, "Who is suitable to be Hokage?"

Judging from the many people from the Sarutobi clan who were secretly developed by the Third Hokage.

This question was more like a sarcasm and a tease.

However, the sarcasm was not directed at Tsunade, but at the so-called Hokage election.

Tsunade frowned:

"You knew you couldn't be Hokage, right?"

Natsuki spread his hands:

"I knew it a long time ago. No matter how many families support me, I can't be Hokage."

"This time, I just sang out the votes of the Sarutobi clan."

"If I'm not mistaken, there are also many votes from the Shimura, Utatane, and Mito clans."

Tsunade frowned. Although she didn't check all the votes.

But when the other people checked the votes, they would show Tsunade the votes of these families.

Tsunade roughly estimated that the Shimura family had a lot of people, at least 20 votes.

Utatane and Mito clan used to be small families, with only 20 to 30 people in the family.

Other ninja clans, with this kind of population.

At most, there is one Jonin.

But the two families that Tsunade saw had six votes each.

How did they come from?

Jonin! They are not families with bloodline limits, so how can they easily produce Jonin?

But the fact is, there are so many votes for Jonin.

And these people's names are very unfamiliar.

Jonin is the top fighting force of Konoha. Even if you don't know him, you should at least have heard of his name.

Jonin is not promoted out of thin air. At least he will do some beautiful tasks and bigger tasks.

This kind of ability must be manifested.

But these are not available. There is only one possibility, the list of these people is in the Anbu.

And he was promoted to a jonin in the Anbu.

No one can tell how much water there is in this.

"Did you deliberately expose the old man's political fraud?"

Tsunade suddenly realized.

Xia Mu nodded with a smile.

"That's right. My goal has never been to compete for the Hokage."

"It's to put all this on the stage."

Tsunade looked at Xia Mu:

"So what's next? Now that you have completely torn your face with the old man, what are you going to do?"

Xia Mu couldn't say that he was going to let the Sarutobi clan take the blame.

So he said another plan of his.

"We Uchiha are going to be independent."

Xia Mu said it lightly.

Tsunade raised her eyebrows, but was not too surprised.

If Uchiha couldn't stand out in Konoha anyway, the best way was to change places.

"Where are you going to go?"

Tsunade was curious about where Uchiha would choose.

Xia Mu shook his head:

"It's not certain now, I'm still talking, I'll tell you when we're done."

"The problem now is, Tsunade, you have to follow us Uchiha."

Tsunade is still working for Uchiha now, and the training of medical ninjas is just the beginning stage.

The first year hasn't even ended yet, if Uchiha wants to be independent, Tsunade will definitely need to leave with her.

Tsunade immediately thought of Naruto's problem.

Tsunade has seen the political darkness of Konoha.

Whether it's the Third Hokage, or Utatane Koharu, or Mitomon En, they are obviously in the same boat.

Although Orochimaru has taken over as the Fifth Hokage, will this incident affect Orochimaru?

Or whether Orochimaru can be a good Hokage.

Tsunade doesn't know either.

So, she doesn't dare to think about what Naruto will become if he stays in Konoha.

As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto can often come to Uchiha purely because Tsunade is here.

And the Uchiha clan is not far from Konoha.

If Uchiha really planned to take Naruto away.

The Third Hokage would directly go to war with Uchiha.

It would be a fight to the death.

The Third Hokage only needed to ensure that Naruto was in Konoha.

With his unknown number of Anbu and unknown number of Sarutobi clan,

he could ensure that Konoha Village would be passed on.

Now that the Third Hokage has stepped down and Orochimaru has taken over.

Tsunade didn't know what Orochimaru, the Fifth Hokage, thought of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Tsunade was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

After weighing the pros and cons, she still said:

"I will not leave Naruto's side, at least not in the next few years."

Tsunade wanted to wait until Naruto grew up and had the ability to protect himself.

Xia Mu had a faint smile on his face:

"It doesn't matter. Even if we withdraw from Konoha, it is impossible to withdraw all at once. There will be no changes on your side in a short period of time."
