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 rush!"

The Fourth Raikage's voice was filled with anger, and his face was filled with impatience.

"Hey, I know the matter is urgent, but it is precisely because the matter is urgent that we need to be more careful. Mr. Raikage, you may wish to think again and see if there are any unexplained details. We might as well be more detailed. Formulate the next response measures accurately.”

Akimichi Tifeng, who has half-white hair but a round face and a round figure, calmly followed the Fourth Raikage and did Tai Chi.

Orochimaru on the other side was drinking tea leisurely.

In the opposite corner, Terumi Mei and Hagura were leaning against the window side by side, looking at the lively scene of Konoha outside.

The Fourth Raikage is a shadow after all, and Konoha must have high-level officials to receive him. Uchiha Fugaku took Nara Shikaku as temporary assistants to arrange all aspects of the fifth-generation Hokage's accession to the throne. Several other high-level officials came to the Hokage Building.

The only ones who can come forward are Akimichi Tofaze and Orochimaru.

The main thing is to let Akimichi Qiufeng, who is experienced, gentle and good at smoothing things over, do this.

Orochimaru simply felt that there were too many things to do in the Hokage's enthronement ceremony, so he left everything to others and took some time off by himself.

The Fourth Raikage's bad temper was really disgusted by Akimichi Tifou. He couldn't help but want to stand up and slap the table, but thinking that this was Konoha, he had to sit down angrily.

"Elder Tofeng, I know that Konoha is currently preparing for Uchiha Mingjing's Hokage enthronement ceremony, but this time it's not just a simple attack, but we lost four tailed beasts at once!"

It was you who lost the tailed beast, not us.

Qiu Daofeng took a sip of tea and cursed in his heart, but he still had a kind smile on his face.

"Oh, it's okay, Lord Raikage, aren't there still two tailed beasts here in Konoha? According to the information sent back by Uchiha Itachi, who was an undercover agent in the Akatsuki organization in our village, Uchiha Madara wants to resurrect Ten To get the tail, we must gather all nine tailed beasts. Now that the three tails and the nine tails are in Konoha, as well as being closely protected by high-level combatants who have mastered the time and space ninjutsu, everything will be safe!"

Qiudao Qifeng laughed and said.

The Fourth Raikage hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help but sigh.

The crux of the problem is that his adopted brother Kirabi was also captured by Madara!

If he couldn't be rescued in time and the eight tails were pulled out by Madara, wouldn't Kirabi be dead too?

The Fourth Raikage really wanted to rescue Kirabi by himself, but he knew very well that he was sending him away.

In the entire ninja world, only Konoha currently has the power to fight Madara.

But will Konoha agree?

I'm afraid it's unlikely. Konoha must consider its own interests first.

"Senior Qiao Feng, I know what you are thinking, but...as long as Bi can be rescued, I will pay whatever price I can, even my life."

The Fourth Raikage said with a sincere expression.

"Lord Raikage, you should know how much your life is worth to Konoha. There is no need to say more. Now is a crucial moment since the establishment of Konoha. I think there should be nothing wrong with it. If there is anything that can affect this, Raikage-dono, you might as well wait and talk to the newly appointed Fifth Hokage."

Orochimaru put down the tea cup, stared at the Fourth Raikage with a pair of slender snake eyes, and said with a half-smile.

The Fourth Raikage looked confused and did not answer.

He heard the meaning behind Orochimaru's words.

If Konoha wanted to take action immediately, the price of his fourth Raikage's life alone would not be enough.

So what else do they have?

Even if he is a reckless man with a violent personality, the Fourth Raikage is still a Kage who has served for more than ten years, and he is not without any political wisdom.

Those materials, money, and even land, in this situation, Konoha probably won't value them as much as before.

What Konoha really values, or what the entire Kumogakure Village can value Konoha, is probably only Kumogakure itself.

As the Fourth Raikage, does he have this determination?

Moreover, even if he is the shadow of Yunyin Village, this kind of thing cannot be decided by him alone.

and……

[I am the thunder shadow of Yunyin Village, the shadow that carries the village on my shoulders... I cannot put the safety of one person above the entire village, even if that person is my brother or myself, just Just like my father once did...]

The Fourth Raikage gradually had the answer in his mind. He reluctantly picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Sorry, Bee.

Terumi Mei and Ye Cang looked at each other and saw the complicated expressions in each other's eyes.

When did the shadow of a village reach the point where it is now?

The Fourth Raikage, who was arrogant and violent, was forced by reality to talk down to the top management of Konoha. The Fifth Kazekage and the Fifth Mizukage were dependent on others and even became tools for marriage.

There is simply no Tsuchikage left in Iwagakure Village.

The remaining fourth generation Kazekage and fourth generation Mizukage have long since become Madara's subordinates from the supreme shadows in the past.

Among the five shadows now, only the Hokage still maintains his original status.

Even after Uchiha Mingjing came to power, the position of Hokage will become the supreme throne of the shadows in the past starting from the fifth generation...

"Dong dong."

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.

…

…

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.

…

…

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.
