Hokage Building In the conference room, the atmosphere was so solemn that it almost dripped with water.
Uchiha Jun As soon as he sat down, he could feel the gazes coming from all directions - vigilance, fear, calculation, and flattery.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting on the main seat, with white smoke rising from the pipe in his hand.
His eyes stayed on Uchiha Jun and Orochimaru for a moment, and then he said, "Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
"Today's meeting will mainly discuss two things." Sarutobi Hiruzen cleared his throat, "First, the post-war reward system; second, the election of Fourth Hokage."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ninja clan leader said, "Lord Hokage is right. Now that the war has come to an end, it is time to give an explanation to the meritorious officials."
"In this case," Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Jun, "Uchiha Jun has performed well on this battlefield. After discussion with two advisors, I decided to grant him the position of advisor and leader of Root."
As soon as this statement came out, the entire conference room fell silent for an instant.
The heads of each ninja clan opened their eyes wide and looked at each other in confusion.
Consultant?
Root leader?!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's move seems to be to reward Uchiha Jun, but in fact it is causing trouble for everyone!
The Root leader is in charge of the Konoha underground spy agency. His power is enough to make any ninja clan leader sleepless.
In the future, if Uchiha Jun asks for people from various families in the name of Root, will they be given or not?
Even if you give it, if you are not satisfied with it, you will be labeled as "collaborating with the enemy and rebelling against the village" and you will be tortured so much that you won't even have time to cry!
Based on what happened last night, they completely believe that Uchiha Jun can do such a thing!
This damn Sarutobi Hiruzen actually sold them!
I originally thought that even if Hokage Position was lost, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have to hold on to the position of leader Root to protect them.
It turns out that it's better now, just put the "remote control" of these ninja clan leaders into the arms of Uchiha Jun!
The minds of the heads of the ninja clan started to work crazily at this moment.
Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed not to notice their expressions and continued, "That's it for now. The others will be on the list and will be distributed after the memorial service."
"The second thing I want to talk about next - this time Third Shinobi World War, I, as Hokage, must bear the blame."
"Therefore, after today's memorial service, I will step down as Hokage Position, and you will elect Fourth Hokage. After you go back, you can discuss the candidates on your own."
As soon as these words came out, there was another commotion in the conference room.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Orochimaru - this is one of the most vocal successors.
Look at Uchiha Jun again - although this one does not have the name Hokage Position, he holds Root and is linked to Orochimaru like Siamese twins. He is almost the uncrowned king behind Konoha!
When Orochimaru takes the seat of Hokage, it will definitely be an enhanced version of Sarutobi Hiruzen X Shimura Danzō!
At this time, Mitokado Homura looked at Uchiha Jun and suddenly asked, "Speaking of post-war rectification, Konoha's riot last night..."
"Wait." Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Jun interrupted him with a chuckle.
He stood up, took out a scroll from his arms, and threw it on the table with a bang.
"You want to talk about my 'riot' last night?"
Uchiha Jun looked around, "Then I want to ask a question first - if Konoha's consultant just has nothing to do all day long and has nothing to do all day long to make pig-brained plans, then I don't think there is any need for this consultant's position to exist."
The conference room exploded instantly!
"What did you say?!"
"Presumptuous!"
"Are you questioning the decision-making of Hokage and the consultant?!"
Uchiha Jun didn't bother to look at the stressed voices of Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, and looked directly at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Just like these two old guys, their existence has seriously interfered with the future of Konoha. For the future of Konoha, I suggest that these two people be removed from their posts."
"Is there any evidence?" Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of cigarette and said calmly, "If you think the two consultants have done something inappropriate, come up with evidence, otherwise it would be a bit hasty to dismiss them based on just a few words."
"Okay." Uchiha Jun nodded, "Then let me ask Lord Hokage, if I say that now our whole village is sitting on a bomb that can blow the entire Konoha into the sky and no one except Kage Level and Jonin can survive, how should you make a decision?"
The whole place was dead silent.
"What?!"
"Bomb?!"
"Are you crazy?!"
The clan leaders of each ninja clan stood up one after another. The clan leader of the Inuzuka Clan directly released Ninja Dog. Aburame Clan's insect envoys began to send out insects. Hyuga Clan's Byakugan also started to scan the entire Hokage Building and surrounding areas.
However, a few minutes passed and nothing was found.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly. "Uchiha Jun, are you kidding?"
"I'm not kidding." Uchiha Jun pointed to the scroll on the table, "Lord Hokage, why don't you take a look at this first?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the scroll suspiciously, opened it, and his expression suddenly changed.
On the scroll, there are layout plans of Explosive Tag in every corner of Konoha!
Densely packed red dots cover almost every corner of Konoha!
Judging from his attainments in institutions, if the content is true, if all these Explosive Tags detonate, let alone ordinary villagers, the entire Konohas will be razed to the ground!
The one who arranged such a scale must be a master of traps!
"Is this... these things?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was trembling.
"Yes." Uchiha Jun said calmly, "The content is indeed true. If you don't believe it, you can ask Hyuga Clan to lead a team to look for it at the location on the scroll."
Having said that, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't waste any time and directly signaled Anbu to take Hyuga Hiashi to a place on the map to investigate.
