Sure enough!
As Uchiha Setsuna's words rang out, the hearts of everyone Konoha in the scene couldn't help but sink. Even the three people Chiyo, Terumi Mei, and Kitsuchi who were watching from a distance did the same.
Although they did not expect to see such a big show at Konoha today, the three of them felt uncomfortable in their hearts at this moment.
The return of Orochimaru!
Wood Release of the Senju Clan reappears!
If it weren't for the fact that Konoha's strange civil strife was getting more intense, otherwise they, who were both born in Five Great Shinobi Villages, probably wouldn't have the time to watch a show here at this moment.
No one wants to go back to the early days of the Warring States Period, when the entire Ninja World had to bow before Konoha, so at this moment the three of them only expected Konoha to start a fight quickly, instead of sitting down and negotiating honestly like now.
It's just that the anxious mood of the three people obviously cannot affect the people near Hokage Building, nor can it affect the man who is being watched by all eyes.
"So now the candidates for Fifth Hokage are me, Tsunade, Hyuga Hiashi, and Asuma Sarutobi... chi~"
Although he was not surprised by this result, when Uchiha Jin mentioned Asuma Sarutobi, he still couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has no one under his command!
Think about how high-spirited Sarutobi Hiruzen was when he first came to power. Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru Three Legendary Sannin quickly rose to prominence, and they even have the sharp edge of White Fang.
Then we gathered the Konoha ninja clan who were at their peak after recuperation, and the Hokage lineage headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen who was in their prime. They were the most powerful beings in the entire Ninja World and Konoha.
But it is obvious that Sarutobi Hiruzen does not understand the principle of prosperity and decline, and does not realize that he is just a pig taking off on the wind. Before the external conflicts have been completely resolved, he has already turned his attention to the inside of the village.
But in fact, is everything Sarutobi Hiruzen really achieved through his own efforts?
Maybe ordinary people will admire Sarutobi Hiruzen as the winner of Konoha Hokage because of the second place result of Third Shinobi World War, but from the perspective of Uchiha Jin, that is not the case at all.
Even if the person who succeeds Third Hokage is not Sarutobi Hiruzen, then whether it is Mitokado Homura or Utatane Koharu, as long as he is not the one-minded idiot Danzo, the rest will only do better than Sarutobi Hiruzen.
After all, the reason why Konoha won was not because of what Sarutobi Hiruzen did during his reign, but simply because the legacy left by Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama was too rich.
Senju gradually gave Konoha the richest land, brought together Ninja World's most outstanding blood family, and let Senju Clan's bloodline blend into it to nourish Konoha. Konoha was born with the capital to be proud of Ninja World.
Although Senju Tobirama hates Uchiha Clan because of the hatred of the Warring States Period, he himself has extraordinary political talents and talent for developing ninjutsu.
By establishing brand-new systems such as Anbu, Police Force, and Ninja Academy, while balancing the internal conflicts in the village, it also provided a better growth environment for the new generation Konoha Ninja.
It can be said that as long as we continue step by step, the overall strength of Konoha will inevitably be superior to other ninja villages, and the peace of Ninja World will be maintained for a longer period of time.
And what did Sarutobi Hiruzen do?
Create Root?
On the surface, someone needs to be responsible for dealing with dark things, but in fact, he just wants to find someone to take the blame for.
After all, Konoha only has so much manpower and material resources, and it won't really be able to play a greater role just because it is an independent department!
On the contrary, the existence of Root gave ground for the darkness of Konoha to breed, and intensified the conflicts between Hokage and the major ninja clans.
For things whose price you cannot see, fate has already marked the price secretly!
Although the existence of Danzo has attracted some hatred, it is essentially consuming the potential of the entire Konoha, but no one has come forward to say it clearly.
As for talent training?
Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, known as 'Three Legendary Sannin', are worthy of praise for being able to teach such elites, but is this really the credit of Sarutobi Hiruzen?
Tsunade is the princess of the Senju Clan. Her inheritance and talent are destined to be extraordinary.
And Jiraiya is the chess piece selected by Mount Myoboku and Toad. Its own achievements are completely a combination of talent and chance. The only one who has something to do with Sarutobi Hiruzen is Orochimaru.
But Dashewan itself is known as a genius that only appears in decades. How much role Sarutobi Hiruzen can play in teaching remains to be seen.
But beyond that, what else does Sarutobi Hiruzen do?
Uchiha Jin did not find Sarutobi Hiruzen. In the development of Konoha in these years, for any positive event, there are countless negative cases on the contrary.
White Fang, the most powerful sword with a reputation far exceeding that of 'Three Legendary Sannin', was actually broken amidst the rumors of Konoha. 'Three Legendary Sannin', which it was once so proud of, left and defected.
Dan Katō, Senju Nawaki, Hyuga Hiashi...
If Uchiha Jin had not appeared, there would have been a so-called night of genocide!
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was supposed to have inherited the rich legacy of the founding monarch, would inevitably push Konoha to another peak, but now he has become like this.
Not only did it not leave more foundation for the future Konoha, but it was frantically consuming the foundation left by Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama.
If Uchiha Jin didn't know the direction of the original plot, he would really think that Sarutobi Hiruzen was a spy sent by some ninja village.
But things are far more outrageous than ordinary people imagine. Although they are self-righteous and have good wishes, everything Sarutobi Hiruzen does will inevitably lead Konoha to destruction.
If Naruto, the son of Six Paths, had not been reincarnated, even without the pit that Otsutsuki's family had dug for thousands of years, Konoha would have been doomed to fail in the competition of Ninja World.
After all, the foundation will eventually be used up one day, and if you cannot cultivate a new generation of Konoha, you are destined to have no future!
However, this situation was just right for Uchiha Jin. After giving Sarutobi Hiruzen a contemptuous glance, he smiled faintly again.
"Now that there are candidates, the next step is the election rules!"
Perhaps it was because Uchiha Jin's eyes were too chilling, or perhaps because he wanted to finalize the matter as soon as possible, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't wait to speak at this moment.
"The election is naturally decided by jounin voting. The one who gets the higher number of votes is Fifth Hokage from Konoha!"
"Okay!"
To Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectation, Uchiha Jin, facing this unfavorable situation, had no objection at all. Instead, his eyes were filled with an incomprehensible calmness.
Is it possible that Uchiha Jin still has some trump cards?
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little uneasy about this, but thinking of the layout during this period, he still turned his head and looked at Torifu Akimichi not far away.
"A stable Konoha will bring better development to Ino-Shika-Cho. I believe you will make a right choice!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was very friendly, and he revealed to Torifu Akimichi in his words that although the situation at this moment has changed from what was previously discussed, it will definitely transfer greater benefits to the three Ino-Shika-Cho families.
"I vote for Asuma Sarutobi!"
