As for the more than 20 million taels that the Daimyo had taken out before, Hefeng naturally did not let it go.
He took it back to the village with Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Koharu, who was in charge of Konoha's administrative department, and Mito Monobu, were waiting in Hiruzen Sarutobi's office for a long time.
Although the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen accompanied Zephyr, the two of them still felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
As soon as he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, he couldn't wait to ask for the result.
"Is everything going well?"
Mito Kadoyan was the first to speak, wanting to know the outcome of Zefeng's meeting with the daimyo.
"Although there were some interruptions in the middle, the overall situation was relatively smooth." As he said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked towards the Hokage's seat and sat down.
He took out the cigarette bag that had been with him for many years, lit it, put it to his mouth, and took a deep breath.
Exhales a cloud of smoke.
He did not mention the details of the daimyo's assassination in front of the two of them.
He just told the name of the arrangement.
"The daimyo has decided that Zephyr will be the new Hokage of Konoha."
"What!?"
In an instant, Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, who was sleeping, both widened their eyes.
It just feels weird and unbelievable.
Because according to their previous discussion, they hoped to find Jiraiya and Tsunade so that they could succeed the next Hokage.
To this end, Mito Monohan also reported the decision of Konoha's top management to the daimyo.
I hope the daimyo will summon Hefeng this time and just reward him with some property.
As a result, when Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to the Hokage Building.
What I brought back was the news that Zephyr was appointed as the fifth Hokage! ?
is that a lie!
"Hiruzen, are you serious?" Koharu felt unprecedentedly shocked and seriously doubted whether he was hallucinating something.
Otherwise, how could I have heard such outrageous statements.
Let Zefeng serve as the fifth Hokage?
Not to mention that he is from the Uchiha clan.
Just in terms of age.
Hefeng is only fifteen years old, right?
one……
Fifteen-year-old Konoha Hokage?
Looking at the stunned two people, Sarutobi Hiruzen changed from his normal state and explained in a serious tone.
"Although Zefeng is a bit young, you should have seen the contribution he has made to Konoha."
"He not only reformed the Konoha Police Department, put an end to violent law enforcement, and restored the police department's reputation."
"It also eliminated the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha."
"Under the influence of the Japanese wind, many Uchiha clan have jumped out of their narrow nationalism."
"In addition, the caged bird of the Hyuga clan is also a problem that Zephyr wants to solve."
"And the night I pulled away from the Eight-Tails, you two were also there, weren't you?"
"If Zefeng hadn't taken action in time, not to mention how many outstanding ninjas would have died."
"It's hard to say whether we can successfully pull away the Eight-Tails."
"And to quell the war and repel the Raikage."
"Honestly, Zephyr who can do these things is undoubtedly the best ninja that Konoha has ever seen."
"The reason why I had the idea that Zephyr could not become the new Hokage was mainly because I was worried that he was from the Uchiha clan."
"But now think about it, what is the difference between having a prejudice against a person based on his origin and the Hyuga clan?"
As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen paused for a moment.
He took another puff from his pipe.
The whole person just felt more relaxed than ever before.
"I've thought about it..."
"First appoint Zephyr as the fifth Hokage."
"I, the Third Hokage, step behind the scenes and guide Zephyr in all aspects."
"I believe he can lead Konoha to a new era of prosperity."
Although the daimyo requested at the scene that Zephyr should be promoted to Konoha's Hokage candidate first, and when he captured Orochimaru, he would be officially appointed as the fifth generation Hokage.
But in Sarutobi Hiruzen's view, that was not necessary at all.
With Zefeng's current ability and contribution, he is enough to serve as the new Hokage.
So are the heads of other families in the village.
Other ninjas, civilians too.
The call for Japanese style is very high.
It's better to take advantage of this opportunity and simply announce this matter.
However, when Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking his thoughts, Koharu and Mito Kadoen went to bed, and they suddenly stood there stunned.
They looked at each other, sizing up each other.
what is happening?
How come Hiruzen Sarutobi, who once thought Zephyr should not be Hokage, started speaking for Zephyr now?
"Hiruzen, are you really kidding?"
"What happened?"
After turning to bed, Xiaochun took a breath of cold air and took a step forward.
unusual.
The Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him was absolutely abnormal.
Sarutobi Hiruzen fell back, leaned directly on the chair, and looked at the ceiling.
He thought for a moment.
"If you insist on telling what happened."
"That's because Hizashi defeated Hizashi."
"Before they met, I didn't think Hizashi had any chance of winning."
"Because Hizu masters the secret technique passed down from generation to generation in the clan, and is the strongest member of the Hyuga clan."
"but……"
"You have also seen the results of the facts."
"The person who won the competition in the end was Hinata Hizashi."
"That's what touched me."
"Since the fate of the separated family can be changed."
"Then why can't the fate of the Uchiha clan be changed?"
"Why do we always have a stereotype about the Uchiha clan?"
"Although Tobirama-sama has established an ANBU that monitors the Uchiha clan since he was in power, he has also trained outstanding ninjas like Uchiha Kagami."
Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his gaze from the ceiling and looked at the two companions in front of him again.
"And in my opinion, Zephyr is a better ninja than Tobirama-sama."
"So I decided to support him in becoming the fifth Hokage of Konoha."
Listening to Hiruzen's voice, Yan and Koharu fell into silence again.
Not only was he suspicious of Hiruzen Sarutobi's sudden change of attitude.
Is it really just because of the Hyuga clan's problems?
But no matter what, Hiruzen is the shadow of Konoha.
The power they possess is above them.
The key is……
According to Hiruzen, it was not just him, the Hokage, who supported Zephyr.
Even the great names of the Fire Country.
is also like this.
"What methods did that guy Ze Feng use?" Xiaochun was puzzled.
But one thing is for sure...
When Hiruzen Sarutobi announced the news to the village.
absolute……
absolute……
It will definitely cause an unprecedented uproar!
Because Konoha is about to welcome the youngest Hokage in history!
at the same time.
Zephyr, who returned to the Uchiha station, found Setsuna Uchiha alone.
As his right-hand man in the Konoha Police Department.
Qing and Setsuna are almost the clan members he trusts the most.
But considering Qing's talent is stronger than Setsuna.
He felt that it would be better to leave the task of protecting the daimyo to Setsuna.
Sitting cross-legged on the tatami in Setsuna's living room, Zephyr asked with a serious face.
"Setsuna, can I trust you?"
