Third Hokage, who was over fifty years old, could not see any emotional fluctuations on his face. He just took a slow drag on his cigarette and nodded. "I agree. Minato's strength and moral character are obvious to all. However, Hokage Position is a matter of great importance and it will take time to investigate."
"That's natural." Mitokado Homura agreed with a smile, "Now I'm just being shortlisted, not taking over immediately."
Danzo's one eye narrowed slightly and he didn't speak, but the gloominess on his face was almost like water dripping from his face.
"Jiraiya's performance in the Western battlefield was equally outstanding." Utatane Koharu continued to read, "Repelling Sunagakure's attack twice, Second Battle of Kikyo Pass was absolutely The superiority crushed Sunagakure's main force. According to intelligence, Rasa of Sunagakure was gnashing his teeth against Jiraiya at the post-war meeting."
This remark caused a burst of laughter.
"Jiraiya Forget it." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand with a rare smile on his face, "That guy doesn't care about these false reputations. Give him a banner and some bonuses, and he will be happy for a whole year."
"Orochimaru joined Land of Rain vertically and horizontally, directly or indirectly disrupting Land of Earth's penetration of Land of Rain. As the northern line's most important With high command, he withstood Iwagakure's strong attack and defeated Land of Earth from the front." Utatane Koharu said about Orochimaru's achievements.
Listening to Utatane Koharu's narration, Hiruzen Sarutobi also had a smile on his face. You must know that Jiraiya and Orochimaru are his students, which also reflects the strength of Hokage's faction.
"Orochimaru has made great contributions this time. I recommend that he be awarded the title of 'War Hero' like Minato Namikaze and be listed as a candidate for the next Hokage"
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi again. Perhaps it was because they had already experienced it once. Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even smoke a cigarette this time and nodded in the same way.
"Agree"
"Uchiha Clan." Utatane Koharu looked at Fugaku, "In this war, Uchiha Clan sent 321 tribesmen, 73 were killed and 42 were seriously injured. Record On the other hand, we killed eighteen enemy Jonin, one hundred and six Chunin, and several Genin. The most outstanding performers were the Uchiha Fugaku clan leader, and..."
She paused, "Shisui Uchiha. He is only a teenager, but he has shown amazing talent on the battlefield. Now he has the title of 'Body Flicker Shisui'."
Fugaku's expression finally showed some fluctuations, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"The contribution of the Uchiha Clan will be remembered by the village." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Fugaku and said slowly, "I hope Uchiha can participate more in post-war reconstruction and the formulation of new policies. In addition, Police Force's authority can be expanded appropriately."
As soon as these words came out, Danzo's face turned completely dark, but he did not say anything immediately. After all, Uchiha Clan's reputation has improved recently, and it is no longer suitable for him to fall out directly in public.
"Hyuga Clan." Utatane Koharu quickly smoothed things over, "Two hundred and ten tribesmen were sent, and fifty-one were killed..."
The meeting went on like this one by one. Every family and every meritorious person was mentioned one by one, and the honors that deserved were given, and the pensions that deserved were paid.
Until...
"Next is Senju Chen."
When this name came out of Utatane Koharu's mouth again, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became subtle again.
Everyone looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Because everyone knows that this is the real highlight of today's meeting.
After all, the surname Senju is so special. It was everyone's wish to urgently transfer Senju Chen back to the village.
Although everyone may have different purposes for reporting, this result is everyone's default. After all, according to Senju Chen's popularity on the battlefield at that time, if he continues like this, Konoha will really not be doing anything for you.
It can be said that the age difference between Senju Chen and Hokage Position is now.
"Senju Chen, only thirteen years old, has made great achievements in this war."
Utatane Koharu's voice was very soft, but every word that followed was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone in the conference room.
"Senju Chen participated in and led the capture of Iwagakure Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han. According to frontline intelligence, Senju Chen single-handedly suppressed Five-Tails of Complete Tailed Beast Transformation, and used Wood Release Ninjutsu captured him alive, giving us an absolute advantage in the subsequent negotiations with Iwagakure."
"At the same time, he also planned and led the capture of Iwagakure Four-Tails Jinchūriki Roshi, and provided key intelligence and tactical support to Kumogakure, which ultimately led to Iwagakure losing two Tailed Beast in a short period of time. Jinchūriki, which also indirectly contributed to the complete defeat of Iwagakure on the northern front battlefield."
"The greatest casualties in this war were in the northern battlefield." Mitokado Homura took over, his voice low, with a hint of hoarseness after returning from the battlefield, "Iwagakure's human wave tactics cost us a heavy price. In the first few confrontations, we were almost beaten so hard that we couldn't even lift our heads."
"But..." He paused, a flash of brilliance flashed in his cloudy eyes, and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, "The final victory on the northern battlefield completely set the tone of this war. And the turning point of all this was Senju Chen."
Mitokado Homura looked around and said word by word, "Senju Chen used "Wood Release·Advent of a World of Trees" three times in total on the northern battlefield to kill thousands of Iwagakure Ninja stayed in that forest forever. That kind of power not only defeated the main force of Iwagakure, but more importantly, it made the entire Shinobi World realize the deterrent power of Wood Release again."
Wood Release is synonymous with battlefield Death God!
"In addition..." Utatane Koharu added, "He also indirectly contributed to our alliance with Land of Rain. This has made a great contribution to our future strategic extension of Land of Earth and Land of Wind."
This credit is too great.
It's so heavy that people don't know how to reward it.
Reward for money? Senju Clan's inheritance is as rich as any country's, and people don't lack it at all.
Reward? Senju Chen's reputation has resounded throughout Shinobi World. Black Lightning, Jinchūriki Catcher, it's a perfect plan. Which one of the future God of Shinobi is not famous, so why should we reward it?
Rewarding power? This is the most troublesome.
"It's a pity that Senju Chen is too young, otherwise..." Torifu Akimichi just opened his mouth to break the heavy atmosphere.
"Humph."
A cold snort interrupted what Torifu Akimichi wanted to say. It was Shimura Danzō who was sitting aside.
"Senju Chen's contribution goes without saying. After all, he is just a teenager? And hasn't the village rewarded him before? In addition, he has long since quit the front line and returned to the village. His contribution after the war has nothing to do with him."
Danzo's words contained a thorn in their side, but no one responded.
However, most people still looked at Shimura Danzō with strange eyes.
