Late at night, the site of the Hokage Building was a charred ruin.
The temporary administrative meeting was held in an underground riot control hall not far from the drill ground.
The spacious hall was brightly lit, yet the air was heavy and suffocating.
The long conference table was now filled with leaders and elite Jonin from Konoha's various clans.
Hyuga Hiashi, head of the Uchiha Clan Hyuga Clan; Uchiha Fugaku, head of the Uchiha clan; Shibi Aburame; Tsume Inuzuka.
Even the heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho family were all included.
Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, and other Jonin representatives stood silently in the back.
The big shots who usually wielded power in the village were now standing ramrod straight, their expressions tense.
They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
All eyes, seemingly unnoticed, were focused on the head seat at the very top of the long table.
Sitting there was neither the Third Hokage nor the two advisors or elders.
Senju Kenya, wearing those brightly colored floral shorts, arrogantly occupied the main seat.
He casually placed his feet on the expensive solid wood conference table, his flip-flops swaying gently.
He held the white jade pipe in his mouth, slowly puffing out smoke.
But in front of the tightly closed doors of the hall.
Zabuza Momochi, clutching the several-ton black iron greatsword, stood like a fierce iron tower, coldly surveying everyone present.
Shizune and White stood quietly behind Kenya, holding a thick stack of documents.
Click.
Tsunade on the table, breaking the almost frozen silence.
She placed her hands on the table, her green gambler's cloak billowing even without wind, Gate of Opening:
Orochimaru was defeated, Sunagakure surrendered, and the Third Hokage voluntarily stepped down to recuperate.
"I've called everyone here tonight not to discuss anything, but to give you a notification."
Tsunade's sharp eyes swept across the entire area like a hawk's:
"Article One: Effective immediately, the advisory elder positions of Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu are hereby abolished, and the Konoha Council of Elders is completely disbanded!"
"Secondly, abolish the 'Root' organization, classify it as an illegal armed group, and have all personnel under the complete control and investigation of the Senju Clan!"
The two decrees, like two thunderclaps, resounded loudly in the ears of the clan chiefs.
The two dark mountains that had weighed on the heads of the major families for decades were uprooted in an instant!
However, before they could recover from the shock...
Tsunade and dropped the third, truly devastating bombshell:
"Thirdly, immediately dismantle all routine surveillance outposts of the Anbu against the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan' residences!"
"Return the territories and defense autonomy that are rightfully yours to all ninja clans, and cease all forms of bloodline segregation!"
These words were spoken.
Uchiha Fugaku, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, a flash of undisguised horror and ecstasy crossing his blood-red pupils!
Hyuga Hiashi shuddered and instinctively straightened up.
For many years, the Uchiha and Hyuga had endured the suspicion and covert exclusion from higher-ups.
The Third used a soft knife to cut flesh, Danzo used a hard knife to bleed.
They never dreamed of this.
The first thing the Senju Clan did upon returning to Konoha was to tear off the noose around the necks of the various clans!
A sudden, uncontrollable murmur filled the hall.
I felt grateful, but also surprised and doubtful.
But at that moment, a conservative Jonin from the Sarutobi Clan, gritting his teeth, stepped forward.
" Lady Tsunade... this... this might not be in accordance with the village's traditional customs, right?"
"Such a major reorganization was carried out without the approval of the Daming Prefecture, nor with the joint signature of the elders..."
"Tradition? Rules?"
Kenya, who was sitting in the main seat, finally made a move.
He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and put his feet off the table.
"Despair."
The flip-flops made a crisp sound as they stepped on the hard floor.
Kenya stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and didn't even glance Jonin the Jonin who had spoken.
He Earth Flow a reinforced wall on the side of the conference room.
It was a solid blast wall specially built with three layers of granite mixed with high-quality steel to withstand Ninjutsu bombardment.
It's a full half meter thick!
"Lao Tzu has always been a person who values reason and democracy the most."
Kenya stopped, turned around, and wore a harmless, sunny smile.
"Everyone here is a pillar of Konoha; of course, you can voice your opinions."
Before he could finish speaking...
Kenya didn't even gather his strength, nor did he adopt any complicated boxing stance.
He simply and casually extended his right fist, which gleamed with a dark gold luster, forward.
"Boom--!!!"
A terrifying sonic boom, beyond description, suddenly exploded in the hall!
The entire underground riot control hall shook violently, the chandeliers on the ceiling swung wildly, and lime dust tumbled down!
Amidst the horrified gazes of all the clan leaders present.
That thick, blast-proof wall was said to be impenetrable even by a large array of Explosive Tag.
Kenya's seemingly effortless straight punch blasted a massive hole more than ten meters in diameter and tens of meters deep!
The violent shockwave tore everything apart, blasting through the entire surface of the earth!
The night wind howled as it rushed in through the huge hole, dispersing the smoke and dust inside.
Kenya slowly withdrew his right fist and blew away the stone dust that clung to his knuckles.
He turned around, leaned against the edge of the huge hole, and smiled as he surveyed the entire scene:
My office door is always open to everyone.
"Anyone who disagrees, or feels the rules aren't strict enough, is welcome to challenge me to a one-on-one duel anytime."
"I'll definitely use these fists to have a proper chat with him."
The entire hall was deathly silent!
The Jonin Sarutobi, who had just spoken out with a question, suddenly trembled violently and collapsed into the chair with a thud, his whole body drenched in cold sweat!
They punctured a solid steel wall that could withstand B-rank Ninjutsu as if it were tofu.
If this were to hit someone, even their ashes would be broken into molecules!
Absolute force, a matter of course!
Without any hypocritical compromises or wrangling, it's naked authoritarian domination!
Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath, was the first to stand up abruptly, and knelt on one knee:
" The Uchiha Clan swears to uphold Senju Senju's new order to the death!"
Hyuga Hiashi also stood up without hesitation, bowed deeply, and shouted:
" The Hyuga Clan will be fully at the command of Lady Tsunade Lord Kenya!"
" The Akimichi Clan seconded this!"
" The Aburame Clan seconds this!"
In an instant, the leaders of the various ninja clans stood up to express their opinions, fearing that if they were even a second late, their heads would become the next holes in the blast wall.
A change of dynasty is inevitable!
In this wave of fervor and conformity.
Shikaku Nara, the head of the Nara Clan, sat silently in the corner and closed his folding fan.
Shikaku Nara watched this scene silently, his eyes deep, as if he had made a decision.
