Hizu slowly summarized everything that happened, then took out a letter and handed it to Neji.
Neji took it and saw that it was his father's handwriting.
After reading it, Ningji's eyes were already covered with tears. It turned out that his father had so much reluctance, and his uncle also had so much helplessness. The survival of the family, with the high-level officials of Konoha eyeing it, faced with the war with the Kumo ninja. Between sacrificing a person, I might have made the same choice as my father in the original situation.
"Ningji, in the final analysis, we are too weak. If we had the strength we have now, I would never choose to compromise." Hizu said solemnly.
"Uncle, thank you." Neji put the letter away and kowtowed heavily to Hizu.
"Okay, okay." Rizu was also very excited. The gap between uncle and nephew was lifted at this moment.
The next day, before dawn, many people were already waiting at the door of Hinata's house. In addition to the powerful families, even the small families who had received the news and the ninjas who had jounin strength but no family also arrived. There were many people waiting at the door, but everyone was waiting quietly.
Finally, the door to Hinata's house slowly opened.
Several female ninjas from the Hyuga family walked out slowly and came to the crowd to salute.
"Lord Changqing, Sir, the head of the family, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."
Shikaku and the others looked at each other and walked in first, and the rest followed the leading families.
Soon, Shikaku and others arrived at the hall of Hinata's house. It was obvious that the place had been cleaned, and many of the things previously placed had been removed, leaving only many seat cushions to make it easier for those who arrived today to have a seat.
Changqing, Hizu, and the elders of the Hyuga family were already waiting. Hinata and others knelt down behind Changqing.
Seeing Shikaku and others arriving, Hizu stood up.
"Everyone, please take a seat. Thank you for coming."
"Thank you, Head Hyuga." Everyone also bowed and saluted. Then sit down according to the size of the power.
Seeing everyone sitting down, Rizu nodded to Changqing and then said.
"In this attack, the Third Hokage died, and many ninjas and civilians died. The most important thing is that it exposed the shortcomings of our Konoha in all aspects."
"The main reason for gathering everyone together today is to discuss the future development of Konoha and to select a new Hokage as soon as possible."
After Hizu finished speaking, everyone present was silent. Everyone knew who would be the Hokage.
Lu Jiu looked at Xizhou and felt that it would be inappropriate for him and others not to express any opinions, so he spoke.
"What the Hyuga clan leader said makes sense. There are many shortcomings in Konoha. In the past ten years, two consecutive Hokages have died in the village. This is our shame."
"So we in Konoha need to change. As for who should be elected as Hokage, I think that based on the current situation in the village, Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama of the Sannin are not in the village all year round. At present, the village has the qualifications and ability to succeed Hokage. The candidate is the Hyuga clan leader. "Shikaku is indeed the Hokage Chinan, he knows how to speak, he clearly points out the village's predicament without leaving a trace, and now he takes the initiative to push Hiashi forward, which is really impressive.
Chang Qing also nodded slightly, he admired such people very much.
After Shikaku finished speaking, Choza, Yamanaka Haiichi, Aburame Shihui and others beside him also spoke quickly.
"The position of Hokage belongs to you only."
Then everyone present lowered their heads and shouted together.
"Wait a minute." At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
I saw two old people walking in, it was the Hokage Assistant, two elders of Konoha, Koharu and Mito Kadoen.
Everyone was whispering to each other when they saw this. These two people had been deliberately ignored by everyone before. After all, the Third Generation had died and Danzo had collapsed. No one cared about these two people. They didn't expect to come here in person now.
Seeing this, Rizu smiled slightly and said.
"The two elders are not resting at home, so why are they here in person?" After saying this, he motioned to the servants to go and arrange seats for the two of them.
But Xiaochun snorted coldly when he went to bed.
"Hmph, Jiraiya, aren't you coming out yet?"
After saying that, I saw a person slowly walking in the door. He had long white hair, wearing a red vest and wooden clogs. It was Jiraiya.
"Hahaha, I was discovered." Jiraiya scratched his head and said awkwardly.
In fact, Changqing discovered Jiraiya early in the morning, but he didn't point it out.
"It's Jiraiya-sama."
"Jiraiya-sama is here."
Everyone was surprised. Jiraiya has a high reputation in Konoha and is respected by everyone.
When Orochimaru attacked the village before, Jiraiya was actually nearby, but he was keeping an eye on Itachi and Kisame. He didn't quietly return to the village until the two left.
"Jiraiya, what do you think?" Mito Menyan said.
"Here, let's take care of it, as long as it's not me." Jiraiya said with an indifferent expression.
"You..." After hearing this, the two of them turned green with anger.
"I think Tsunade is more qualified to be Hokage than anyone else." Koharu said.
After everyone listened, their expressions changed. It was true that Tsunade was more qualified to be Hokage than anyone else in terms of status, but now the Hinata family was stronger, and then everyone turned their attention to the Hinata side.
Rizu didn't expect that these two old guys would actually propose Tsunade to be Hokage. Then he looked towards Chang Qing.
"I think there is no need to go to such trouble. Whoever becomes the Hokage should be counted among everyone present. Those who agree please stand up. There is no need to say more now. Anyone who thinks Hizu can be the Hokage please stand up." Changqing Without even looking at the two old guys, he spoke calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the Hyuga clan members present stood up, and then Shikaku and others also stood up. In the end, everyone except Jiraiya and the other three stood up.
"You..." Mito Kadoyan and the other two were furious when they saw this. They never expected that there would be such a move. They couldn't refute it at all, and they didn't even have to vote for Tsunade.
"Hey..." After a long time, the two sighed, fully knowing that their era was over, they turned around and left.
"Haha, I support it too." Jiraiya said after the two left.
"So thank you all, thank you so much, Lord Jiraiya." Hizu stood up and bowed to everyone.
Even though Hidashi already knew the result at this moment, at this time, he was still very excited. Finally, someone from the Hyuga clan became the Hokage.
After a while, Rizu calmed down a little and then spoke.
"Thank you all for your love."
"Hokage-sama." Everyone saluted.
"Three days later, the funeral of the Third Generation will be held in Konoha, as well as the funerals of the remaining ninjas and civilians who died."
"Next, we need to rearrange some positions in Konoha." Hizu continued.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked. Come on, this is what everyone is most concerned about.
"Before, I, Konoha, had Anbu and Roots. Before that, there was the Uchiha family's security department. As well as the torture department, the medical department and other departments."
"From now on, all the above departments will be cancelled." Nizu said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately started whispering to each other.
"Quiet. Please listen carefully to what Hokage-sama is saying." Shikaku scolded.
Then the scene returned to calm.
Then Rijiu nodded towards Ningji, who quickly stood up and walked forward, took out a scroll that had been prepared, then saluted everyone, opened the scroll, and read.
"Starting from today, under the Hokage, Konoha will set up a staff, transfer to the overall planning of foreign wars, and appoint the elite jounin Nara Shikaku as the head of the staff. The staff of the staff will be decided by the Hokage-sama and Shikaku-sama after discussion." Ning After Tsuji finished speaking, he handed the scroll to Shikaku.
"Shikaku accepts the order, thank you Hokage-sama." Shikaku said as he took the scroll. But he was relieved in his heart. As smart as he was, he naturally knew the importance of this position.
Hinata then walked up and took out a scroll just like Neji did before.
"As of today, Konoha will set up a war department with the position of minister. Kakashi will be appointed as the minister and Metkai will be the deputy minister. In principle, all ninjas in Konoha will be members of the war department during the war." Hinata finished. Handed the scroll to Kakashi.
Kakashi was stunned for a moment, but was pushed by Gai before he reacted and quickly stood up to catch it.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama."
Then came the fireworks. The little guy stepped forward with excitement, took out the scroll, and read in a childish voice.
"From today on, Konoha will set up a security department to protect the safety of Konoha villages and prevent spies from other countries. Sarutobi Asuma will be appointed as the head of the security department."
Asuma quickly stepped forward to take the order. This was the best position for him. As a third-generation son, he had never had a particularly strong desire for power.
Then Neji stepped forward again, took out the scroll and said.
"Starting from today, Konoha will set up a Logistics Support Department, and Akimichi Choza will be appointed as the director, who will be responsible for all Konoha's supplies and funds."
"As of today, Konoha has set up a special intelligence department, appointing Yamanaka Haiichi as its director, who will be responsible for the collection of relevant intelligence and tasks related to intelligence from various countries in the ninja world."
"The Medical Department will be established from today on. The position of the director will be retained temporarily. The original duties of the medical ninja in the village will remain unchanged."
After Neji finished reading and several people took orders, Hizu stood up again and said to everyone.
"Below the ministers, two deputy ministers will be added, and the captain will be Nishito. As for the candidates, the minister will study them and report them to me. As for the remaining members, the village will issue a special announcement. Ninjas who are interested in that department can sign up. After passing the assessment Immediately belongs to the department personnel.”
"Yes." Everyone responded.
"In addition, starting today, all ninjas in the village will be paid according to their level. The specific content will be announced later."
This time everyone was shocked. Before this, everyone's income was based on doing various tasks, but now they were able to get money for the first time. Many people, especially some Chunin and Genin, suddenly felt that their income was guaranteed.
Hizu was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and he also admired Changqing's idea. As for the funds, he was not worried. In Changqing's words, Konoha will embark on the road to dominate the ninja world from today on, and money will naturally It's to rob other countries.
