Konoha Year 42 February 28.
The war between Konoha and Sunagakure has ended for several months.
Two months have passed since Akaseki solved Chimera. During these two months, Akaseki was not sent to the battlefield again, but cleared some backlogged A-level tasks.
Masters such as "Konoha's Akaseki" withdrew from the battlefield and began to devote themselves to "ordinary tasks" again, which made Konoha's collaborators also relax.
Konoha, who is willing to accept difficult tasks and can complete them properly, seems to have returned.
But...
Everyone in the village Jonin basically knows that for Iwagakure, the war has actually been repeated over the past few months!
Tomorrow is the day of Jonin's regular meeting. Before the meeting, everyone knew that this meeting was very important.
For this reason, Akaseki went out early this morning to prepare for some "public relations"...
"Hey, Uncle Lanjun, you are doing well today!" Akaseki greeted Lanjun at the intersection of Forest Street, the first stop.
When Lanjun saw Akaseki, his mouth dropped to the sky.
"If you don't prepare well at home and don't visit Ino-Shika-Cho and the others, what are you doing here?" Lanjun had a rather yin and yang meaning.
"Ino-Shika-Cho? Who is it? I'm not familiar with you. I'm here to see you, Ranwu... and uncle Lanjun." Akaseki said with a big wave of his hand.
"Why are you looking for me? If Jiancheng didn't come to me personally, why would he come to you?" Lanjun said disdainfully.
"Clan Leader is still at Kannabi Bridge. I really can't get away. Let's talk about Land of Hot Water's little things, I can make the decision!" Akaseki said, patting his chest.
"Land of Hot Water... Humph, go in." Lanjun was a little nervous.
After the truce between Land of Fire and Land of Wind, Tourism of Land of Hot Water finally started.
In order to develop underground hot springs, Earth Style, Water Style ninjas are in short supply, and...
The environment of Land of Hot Water is also very suitable for the training of ninjas Earth Style and Water Style. For this reason, many people regard this as a "fat vacancy".
Most of Forest Street's ninjas have Earth Style and Water Style talents - Yang Sheng people. Most of their talents are in the physical Chakra attribute.
Although it is the village who is responsible for the task of Land of Hot Water and it is Yugakure who proposes it, but... Yugakure has been inseparable from the Uchiha Clan since its establishment. Lanyu Clan Elder died at Yugakure. After that, Akaseki became the mainstay of Yugakure, and can be called the father of Yugakure.
Later, because of the Outsourcing plan, Uchiha Clan has been influencing Yugakure...
How to allocate Yugakure's tasks? Uchiha Clan's right to speak is definitely more important than Hokage Building - after all, Hokage Building can't control who the client names!
Lanjun Although I know that Akaseki is not specifically talking about this, I still let him in after hearing him mention it...
But before letting him go, Lanjun said with a serious face, "Don't think about these things all the time, don't forget the real business!"
"Well... we are still young..." Akaseki said, pretending to be embarrassed.
When Lanjun saw this, he tried to kick him, but then Akaseki ran in.
In fact, Akaseki also knows that the "business" Lanjun is talking about is about Root's "Wood Release Experiments".
Among Forest Street, apart from Ranwu, only three others, Lanjun, Canglan, and Songluan, knew about this matter.
They also hope to expose Root as soon as possible!
However, this is not something that Akaseki can do in a hurry. He has to wait for Root to reveal his flaws first, otherwise, if he alerts the snake, it will be even more difficult later.
Then Akaseki met Ranwu.
"Huh? Nonō isn't here?" Akaseki replied.
"She is busy with Orphanage's site selection." Ranwu paused and asked, "You came here specifically to find her?"
"Of course not! Why am I looking for her? I'm not familiar with her... I'm here to find you." Akaseki said with a shy face.
Ranwu:...
When Ranwu heard Akaseki's "unfamiliar" words, the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Yeah, she's not even Jonin, aren't you unfamiliar with her?" Ranwu curled her lips.
"Ranwu Jonin, so... who are you going to vote for? Let me help you with your advice?" Akaseki forced the topic.
That's right, apart from the Iwagakure matter, the most important thing in this meeting is the re-election of "Jonin Commander Squad Leader"!
Sakumo Hatake has not carried out missions for several months. When everyone saw him, he was basically in a state of drunkenness. Even if he was bullied while drunk, he would not say a word, and at most he would vomit on others.
Now he has shown no signs of recovery for a long time. Even if Hokage visited him several times in private, he could not find out the reason.
The war with Iwagakure is currently undecided... So just after the year, Sakumo Hatake was deemed unable to continue to perform his duties, and the position of squad leader Jonin Commander was once again vacant.
In more than a month, the candidates have basically been listed, and only the Jonin voting session is left to decide!
Ranwu has been officially promoted to Jonin, and of course has the right to vote.
Moreover, among Forest Street, there are also many Jonin who can vote...
Akaseki came here specifically for "public relations"!
As for "Ino-Shika-Cho"... there are other Clan Elder to visit.
Although the Clan Elders of the Uchiha Clan don't know much about public relations, after all, no one on Forest Street's side can replace Akaseki.
And on Ino-Shika-Cho's side, Akaseki doesn't think the chances are good - although Ino-Shika-Cho has recently become closer to the Uchiha Clan, he still can't resist Torifu Akimichi, who is also a candidate!
"I think my Third Uncle is pretty good." Ranwu said and turned around.
"Don't make trouble, after sister Tsunade voluntarily withdrew, the only candidates with opportunities now are Torifu Akimichi, and our useless son-in-law Uchiha Clan." Akaseki said matter-of-factly.
Theoretically, anyone who is Elite Jonin can sign up, but during the nomination last month, both Tsunade and Jiraiya took the initiative to withdraw - otherwise, although Jiraiya would have little chance, Tsunade would still have a great chance!
As for Torifu Akimichi, it has been nominated before, and even has some hints of being nominated by Hokage Building, but it still cannot compare to "Konoha's White Fang" back then.
Now for Torifu Akimichi, the time is more mature!
Torifu Akimichi is not only more experienced than before, but during the war, he was basically responsible for tough tasks.
Whenever there is a strong attack on the battlefield, Akimichi Clan is basically in front of Konoha, and Torifu Akimichi is in front, which is the most important battle among them.
As a "pioneer", its overall effect may not be as good as Commander-in-Chief, but...
Commander-in-Chief was strategizing, and few people had a real sense of it, but Torifu Akimichi risked countless ninjutsu and ninja tools to act as a human shield in front of everyone, and everyone saw it.
""""""""""hand-type""update"
Overall...
In the war, Torifu Akimichi's contribution was naturally inferior to Uchiha Orochimaru, but the popularity of the Uchiha Clan and Orochimaru made up for this very well!
In tomorrow's voting, Akaseki can't say who will win or lose.
However, except for these two people, other candidates only play the role of "abstaining votes" even if they have not withdrawn.
"Sister Tsunade... it's all that Dan Katō's fault!" Ranwu also got angry when she mentioned this.
That's right, in addition to "Konoha's White Fang", there is now a sluggish Elite Jonin in the village, that is Dan Katō.
Of course, most ninjas can understand his sluggishness. After all, he can't exert his fighting power, so what else do you want from him?
However, for people like Forest Street, Dan Katō's performance is really unsatisfactory - it doesn't matter if you don't have fighting power, you still look like a man, right?
Dan Katō's current state has greatly aggravated Tsunade's internal friction.
"If it weren't for him, sister Tsunade would not have withdrawn from the election." Ranwu said angrily.
Tsunade is a big favorite. If Tsunade also runs for election, I am afraid that he will have the greatest chance...
On the one hand, the effects of Medical Unit are obvious to all; on the other hand, Tsunade has been presiding over Medical Unit's work on the front line all year round, whether it is rescue or medical assistance. While she has made outstanding achievements, there are also countless ninjas who appreciate her.
As for the "extra" part, from birth to popularity, everything is impeccable. The only minus is the addiction to gambling...
However, Tsunade is just a gambling addict on a daily basis, and I don't see her taking any risks during missions, so it's not a big problem.
It is precisely because of this that Tsunade quit on his own initiative - there are too many things to worry about, and now there are more Shizune to take care of, and Tsunade has no energy to do anything Jonin Commander squad leader.
As for Jiraiya exiting...
That is purely Jiahao behavior!
Not many people will choose him if he doesn't quit...
After all, he has "disappeared" for a long time, and his merits and abilities are not considered to be outstanding.
"That's right! It's all that Dan Katō's fault... Our Uchiha Clan's Orochimaru was also very disgusted with Dan Katō, and scolded him because of his attitude towards sister Tsunade. I think he will definitely not vote for Orochimaru... Sigh." Akaseki immediately agreed.
Ranwu also showed a speechless expression as Akaseki took advantage of the situation so obviously.
"Okay... Third Uncle said this before he left. We... are also planning to vote for captain Orochimaru." Ranwu stopped teasing Akaseki.
Canglan is not in the village either. To be precise, Konoha's rich family talkers are basically not in the village!
Many of them were temporarily sent out this month. It was a "coincidence" in name, but as everyone knows, the actual purpose was to ensure the fairness of the Jonin Commander squad leader election and suppress the cliques of the wealthy families as much as possible.
Although Forest Street is no longer Shinobi Clan, Canglan still accepted the mission...
"Third Uncle really said that?" Akaseki's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"It's me Third Uncle..." Ranwu rolled her eyes at him.
Akaseki immediately realized that the meaning was not simple. It was not the problem of who Third Uncle was, but...
Forest Street wants to get tickets together as a group!
In fact, due to historical reasons, the Jonins of Forest Street have never stayed together. After all, Senju Clan has really "disbanded". They are not trying to imitate Sunagakure's Factions.
Akaseki came to PR, thinking about how much he could attract, who knows...
Akaseki understood in the blink of an eye that this in itself was a symbol of Forest Street's "dissatisfaction" - "normally" Forest Street would throw in scattered pieces, but now... He wanted to rush in as a group, but he still had to rush Torifu Akimichi again!
Of course, the target of their dissatisfaction is definitely not Akimichi Clan or Ino-Shika-Cho, but Hokage Building...
