Chapter 358 Orochimaru's Conspiracy

Hokage Building.

Meeting room.

"Next, two advisory elders, Koharu Utatane and En Mitokado, have submitted their resignations to me."

Orochimaru's next words made the elders forget about the Hokage Guard just now.

After all, these two advisory elders have real power.

The two advisory elders stood up and bowed to everyone, and then Koharu Utatane spoke.

"Elders, we are old and have become more and more tired of work."

"We are worried that we will cause losses to Konoha because of our own reasons in the future, so we have submitted our resignation and retirement applications to the Fifth Hokage."

The elders below were like mirrors in their hearts.

These two people were obviously forced to resign because the Sarutobi family was exposed for eating empty salaries.

After all, after such a thing happened, resigning by yourself would be more face-saving.

If you are dismissed, it will be a big loss.

Of course, this matter mainly depends on what the Fifth Hokage thinks.

If the Fifth Hokage wanted to investigate, the two would not be able to escape.

However, everyone saw the Third Hokage sitting calmly in his seat.

So they guessed that the Hokage would not investigate.

"I object!"

Uchiha Natsuki stood up.

Everyone's heart jumped. Uchiha Natsuki really got angry.

"I object to the retirement of the two advisory elders."

"I now impeach the two advisory elders in the name of honorary elders."

"The two elders were obviously derelict in their duties and engaged in favoritism and fraud during their tenure."

"It caused huge losses to Konoha. I demand a strict investigation of these two people."

"If these two people retire before a thorough investigation, a lot of evidence will be destroyed."

Both Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En's faces changed.

Because of the ballot issue before, everyone knew that they had problems.

But like Uchiha Natsuki, he directly dragged them out and whipped their corpses.

Even wanted to grind their bones and scatter their ashes.

There was only Natsuki.

This made the two people hate Natsuki.

Orochimaru hasn't said anything yet, who do you think you are!

The other elders below also looked at what Orochimaru meant.

If Orochimaru wanted to investigate these two people, then the Third Hokage might also be affected.

Orochimaru first glanced at the Third Hokage, and then at the two somewhat panicked advisory elders.

Orochimaru winked at the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage said lightly:

"Elder Xia Mu, you are too radical."

"The two advisory elders have served Konoha conscientiously for so many years. It is inevitable that there are some mistakes and omissions in their tenure. This is human nature."

"Even if there is no merit, there is hard work. My suggestion is that the two advisory elders should retire normally."

Orochimaru raised his eyelids:

"I think what the Third Hokage said is very true."

Xia Mu looked at Orochimaru for a few seconds, and then sat down heavily.

Many elders saw the look on Orochimaru's face and knew what was going on.

Orochimaru continued:

"Since both advisory elders have resigned and retired."

"Then new people will be needed to take over your powers."

Everyone below looked at Orochimaru with burning eyes.

The two advisory elders hold the task system and the medical system.

Which one is not a lucrative position.

No matter which family it is, getting one of the powers will play an important role in the development of the entire family.

But the relationship between the advisory elders and the Hokage is actually very delicate. If the Hokage cannot win over the advisory elders.

Then the power in the hands of the advisory elders is likely to form a restriction on the Hokage.

The advisory elders are generally appointed by the Hokage himself, but a vote is required.

If the majority vote against, the appointment cannot be successful.

So this candidate is very interesting. The Hokage must accept it, and most people must also accept it.

Orochimaru said directly:

"I now propose that Nara Shikaku be the advisory elder, responsible for the medical system. How many people agree?"

Shikaku, who was calm and composed, couldn't help but sit up straight.

Orochimaru never asked him to discuss this matter.

Orochimaru raised his hand, and all the Ino-Shika-cho at the table below raised their hands.

Most of the Shimura family and the Hokage who were close to him raised their hands.

There were exactly eleven votes.

"Eleven votes in favor."

Next: "No votes."

There was silence below, and no one voted against.

The reason for this is very simple. The Nara family itself is responsible for maintaining the normal operation of Konoha's medical system.

The Nara family will only be more handy if they get this power.

Moreover, the Nara family never makes enemies with other families and has always been very low-key.

Even if there are bad relationships, one or two votes against now will not change the outcome.

It's better not to vote, to save face.

As for Uchiha Natsuki, this matter has nothing to do with Uchiha from beginning to end.

Uchiha is weak in medical care, and it has nothing to do with this.

Nara Shikago served as the advisory elder, and he didn't seem to have any opinion.

Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction:

"Very good. Elder Luhe, in the next period of time, you will need to properly hand over the work to the former advisory elder."

Luhe stood up and bowed to Orochimaru:

"Thank you for your trust, Fifth Hokage."

"I will do a good job in the medical system."

Lu He said it calmly, and did not shout any slogans, but everyone had great trust in the Nara clan.

Everyone praised the Fifth Hokage in their hearts for choosing a good person.

"Next item."

Orochimaru continued:

"I now propose that Hyuga Hizashi be the advisory elder, responsible for the task system. How many people agree?"

Wow...

The people below Orochimaru were furious at this proposal.

The key point is not to propose to the Hyuga family, but to propose to give the advisory elder to Hizashi of the Hyuga branch family, not Hiashi of the main family.

Even if Hiashi and Hizashi have a good relationship, the Hyuga main family still has a group of old antiques.

How can the authority held by the branch family be higher than that of the main family?

But the embarrassing point is here, if it is not the Hokage's proposal.

The Hyuga family will never be able to touch the threshold of the advisory elder.

This may be the only ladder for the Hyuga family to move up.

And Hizashi and Natsuki have a good relationship, everyone knows it.

The Hyuga family holds a special position in Konoha.

It is impossible for the Hokage to completely offend them, so the best way is to win them over.

The three previous Hokages could not produce anything that would move the Hyuga family.

As a result, the Hyuga family has always been biased towards the Uchiha family.

But the previous operation of the Uchiha family pulled down the two previous advisory elders.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru directly gave this to the Hyuga family.

After Orochimaru raised his hand, Hiashi raised his hand without hesitation.

Hizashi hesitated for a moment before raising his hand.

Xia Mu on this side had a bad look on his face, and he also raised his hand without hesitation.

Orochimaru's move was an open conspiracy.

Aren't you Uchiha on good terms with the Hyuga family? If you have a good relationship, don't you support the Hyuga family?

In the hall where tasks are received, the Hyuga family is the most popular personnel.

Now the Hyuga family has mastered the corresponding powers.

And the most interesting thing is that Orochimaru gave the position to Hizashi.

The main family does not do tasks or go to the battlefield at all, so they can't use them themselves.

It is impossible to blatantly allow the branch family to abuse power for personal gain.

So most of the other elders also raised their hands.

Almost all votes were in favor, and there was no need to vote against.
