Even if he was no longer willing, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen held his nose and signed the agreement reached by Mito Kadoen, Uchiha Tokumitsu, and Hatake Sakumo.
The village's top brass tried to ambush a fellow village jounin without justifiable reasons, which was a huge scandal that could cause a schism in Konoha.
Moreover, his old friend also died in this battle.
Even the root ninjas, who were specialized in doing dirty work, had lost all their talents.
Konoha has lost one of its four top figures.
Such a blow is not a big one.
The third generation of Hiruzen Sarutobi was also aware of all the little tricks Danzo was doing behind his back. He was even more aware that Danzo was obsessed with being the Hokage and was still brooding over his flinching in front of Teacher Tobirama.
But after all, Danzo chose to become the shadow behind the Hokage and the root buried deep under Konoha. Secretly, he got rid of many conspirators who peeked at Konoha Ninja Village and the position of Hokage.
Although Mito Kaden and Koharu had also tactfully reminded Danzo in private to restrain Danzo's behavior, the Sandaime had always tolerated Danzo's various mistakes with a sense of debt and compensation.
"I was the one who killed Danzo..." He signed his name on the Hokage's edict with difficulty. Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the regulations that were weakening the Hokage's power, and missed Danzo in his heart: " I should have told him to stop earlier..."
But there is no way. The Uchiha clan and the forces under Hatake Sakumo have joined forces, and two border troops are participating in the strong onlookers. The dispatched troops stationed in the Land of Rain are unable to do anything under the suppression of Akimichi Tifeng. The western border defense The troops also have an ambiguous attitude...
As if overnight, the originally prosperous Henan University collapsed into internal and external troubles...
Sarutobi Shinnosuke returned to the Hokage's office with a bloody aura.
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the signed documents to the two advisors.
Mito Monohan and Koharu, who were transferred to the dormitory, also got up and left on the pretext of announcing the edict.
"Have everything been taken care of..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his eyes and slowly filled his pipe.
"It's been wiped clean."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke replied in a deep voice: "It's just that I don't understand..."
"what you do not understand?"
The Sandaime raised his head.
"...Why compromise with Uchiha?"
"Because it's not just Uchiha..." The Sandaime couldn't help but smile when he heard this, lit his pipe and started puffing away, "Do you treat Sakumo, Uzumaki, Kurama, Shiranui, and Nohara as if they don't exist?"
"They won't really fight for Uchiha!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was very angry, "Those ninjas are all old fools who adapt to the wind, and they don't even dare to risk the lives of their entire clan to accompany Uchiha!"
"You said it very well..." The Sandaime took a long drag on his pipe, "Don't say it next time!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but be stunned.
"Even if Uchiha's vassal cannot fight to the death, how many other ninjas in the village can send troops to accompany Uchiha to fight to the death!" The Sandaime became more and more angry as he spoke, "Even Ino Shikacho, they still bet on both sides! This is the case. Why do you still expect them?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke lowered his head and said nothing.
"Aren't you still convinced?"
"Father...they are insulting your authority and dignity as Hokage..."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke said slowly.
"Do you think the Uchiha clan can be suppressed easily?" The third generation raised his head and looked at his eldest son who was still unconvinced.
"Isn't it? As long as you take action, the Uchiha clan will not be able to resist it!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke said excitedly: "Even if you want to be tolerant for the sake of the village, you won't give in on such conditions!"
"How many jounin are there in Uchiha?" Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
"Especially since they started participating in the war, how many new magatama have been added? How many jounin do we have in the Sarutobi clan? All the elite members of the Shimura clan have been wiped out in this battle, how many jounin can remain?"
"Even if you don't count the family ninja army, and even if you add in the other jounin in the village who are willing to go to war with Uchiha, how many jounin can there be?"
"Even so, have you ever calculated the difference in combat effectiveness between the ordinary jonin in the village and the Uchiha jounin?"
"Even if we defeat Uchiha, so what? Can we still kill all Uchiha? What will the ninjas in the village think of us! Have you thought about it!"
The Sandaime's voice became increasingly stern.
"...You should quit ANBU after a while."
"Why!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was shocked.
"I will hand over the family ninja army to you. You can take them to the battlefield. There has been some movement in Sunagakure recently..." The Sandaime sighed deeply, "I have never seen the test of the battlefield. In the greenhouse, A grown up jounin is always inferior to a human..."
"I see……"
…
Police headquarters building.
After the official issuance of the Hokage's edict, the Chief of the Police Department, Uchiha Shiki, immediately announced the new organizational structure and personnel appointments.
The Uzumaki Police Station originally located on the outskirts of the Uzumaki clan was renamed the Eastern District Police Office, and the original team was used as soon as the staffing was allocated.
And Uchiha Tokumitsu's father, Uchiha Nakagen, took office as the director of the newly established Western District Police Department, becoming a model of the contemporary Uchiha clan's "father is more important than son".
As for the North District Police Office, which is located in the most concentrated area of Konoha, because the Uchiha clan is still debating over the selection of chief officers, only some patrol members are currently stationed in the North District.
Under the arrangement of Uchiha Tokumitsu, his cousin Uchiha Shiina took office as the Operations Director of the North District Police Office, becoming the number one figure in the North District before the Commissioner of Police took office.
After the family meeting and the police department cadre meeting, Uchiha Tokumitsu was directly promoted to the assistant chief of the police department, becoming the current second-ranking figure in the police department.
If it weren't for Uchiha Tokumitsu's young age, even being a senior assistant director would be a matter of course.
For the Uchiha clan, the power, glory, etc. that Uchiha Tokumitsu brought to the family were too much!
Whether it was through war to gain control of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, or the strategy and foresight shown in the restructuring of the police department, the Uchiha tribe was impressed by it.
What's more, Uchiha Tokumitsu's military exploits are still the most outstanding among the contemporary Uchiha clan members.
Some clan members have even openly proposed to abolish the ancestral system of eldest family inheritance and make Uchiha Tokimitsu the next clan leader.
In this regard, even after receiving repeated promises and guarantees from Elder Setsuna, the current patriarch Uchiha Shifang is still deeply worried.
He even felt that with Uchiha Tokumitsu's current strength, if he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan one day, he would probably be promoted to the position of clan leader by his clan members, Haori Ka, even if he didn't want to.
You have to give something so that Uchiha Tokko no longer has any thoughts about the position of clan leader...
The Uchiha clan leader is in pain and happiness...
…
The jounin squad under the control of Hatake Sakumo also quickly coordinated with the Konoha tribes to determine their specific powers, and at the same time established the supervisory and auditing rights of the jounin squad.
This result is definitely not good news for Konoha F3 after Danzo's dog belt.
"Uchiha actually went to the North District to show off his power!"
Standing in front of the window of the Hokage's office, Koharu felt very unhappy.
After the responsibilities of the Konoha tribes were clarified, the one most affected was the Government Affairs Department she was in charge of.
All matters with slightly vague responsibilities were originally placed under the jurisdiction of the government affairs department. Now, it is good that various departments have confirmed their powers separately without interfering with each other, and the government affairs department has much less room to exert its influence.
To obtain additional jurisdiction, it must be voted on at the Jonin Class meeting and signed and approved by the Hokage.
"The ship is already done, so don't add any extraneous problems..."
Mito Menyan was also quite helpless.
As the village's advisory elder, he had to act as the Hokage's envoy to negotiate with ninjas from the same ninja village. This incident made him feel even more humiliated. However, after the Hokage reached a settlement with Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo within the conditions agreed, the price paid also made various departments whose interests were harmed complain about him.
The person whose original rights were most restricted by style was the Ministry of Government Affairs who moved to Xiaochun.
"We need a new jounin benchmark..."
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the documents in his hand, took out his pipe, and said calmly.
"The Uchiha clan is still too narrow-minded after all, and Hatake Sakumo is the one who is worried..."
Mito Menyan and Koharu, who had transferred to the dormitory, thought so.
Although the Uchiha clan is strong, if they don't launch a coup, there is basically no possibility of gaining the position of Hokage. It turns out that it is very simple because the Uchiha clan is too strong.
If a Hokage emerges from Uchiha, the strength and population of Uchiha will inevitably erode the original division of interests. Therefore, no matter how you support the team, other ninjas or civilian jounin will inevitably boycott Uchiha.
But Hatake Sakumo is different. He is from the Xiaonin clan. Except for Sakumo himself, other clan members are not outstanding in strength. Moreover, Sakumo himself is also known for his benevolence and righteousness, and is highly supported by all the jounin.
With such a background and reputation, coupled with super strength, and the support of the Uchiha clan, he is almost the template for the next generation of Hokage.
But no one is willing to give up power, even if they know that sooner or later it will need to be handed over to the next generation.
If the position of Hokage is destined to be handed over to someone else, then why can't it be handed over to someone you can trust?
"It would be nice if Orochimaru's image could be more friendly to the people..."
Xiaochun sighed after going to bed.
Among the three Hokage disciples, the one with the strongest strength and the most in line with Konoha's current 'political correctness' is Orochimaru. Moreover, he has served as the commander-in-chief and led the ninja army many times. His performance is impressive, and he is also a part of the village. followers.
But personal image is a big problem.
Orochimaru was too cold.
It even gives people an inhuman feeling. There are rumors among the low-level ninjas in the village that Orochimaru is a poisonous snake wearing human skin.
With such an image and strength, he is absolutely qualified to serve as the head of an organization such as Anbu, but it is not enough to become Hokage.
"If Jiraiya wasn't so undisciplined, he would be a pretty good candidate..."
Mito Kabuto mentioned another one of the other three ninjas.
"How can any jounin do something as shameless as peeping at a hot spring girl's bath!" Koharu yelled angrily when he went to bed.
"By the way, why is Jirai still stranded in the Land of Rain?"
Mito Kaden suddenly thought of something, so he asked the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"According to him, he has to stay for a while to teach the few apprentices he has accepted." The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen found it a bit difficult to say, "And... we also have to fulfill the instructions of Mt. Myouki and find the destiny of the ninja world."
"What a ridiculous reason!" Xiaochun snorted when he went to bed to show his dissatisfaction.
As for Tsunade, who was the most suitable among the three ninjas, neither of them mentioned it.
Since the Senju clan has chosen to retire, there is no need to support the descendants of the Senju clan while there are still candidates, whether it is out of their own will or for other reasons.
If the Senju clan is restored again, those who will take over the top positions according to the arrangement of the second generation Senju Tobirama will probably be the most uncomfortable.
Uchiha's strength is too strong, and the Senju clan's prestige is too high. This is the problem and trouble that the two founding ninja clans of Konoha have brought to the current top management of Konoha.
"Orochimaru will go to the ANBU first..." Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen silently took a few puffs from his pipe, "I asked Shinnosuke to withdraw from the ANBU, just so that Orochimaru can take over part of the ANBU's work."
Mito Kado and Koharu looked at each other. Regarding Sarutobi Shinnosuke's latest arrangement, they really didn't know the inside story.
But Orochimaru is indeed suitable for Anbu in terms of his acting style and trustworthiness.
Moreover, it was the Hokage's exclusive power to appoint ANBU personnel, so the two advisors did not say much.
"As for Jiraiya, let him continue to serve in the Jonin class. He is not suitable for anything else..."
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and thought carefully about how to arrange the cards in his hand.
"Tsunade's words..."
At this time, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen also hesitated.
He neither wanted Tsunade to control too much power, nor did he want this outstanding descendant of the Senju to be idle.
"Leave the medical department to Tsunade." Koharu took the initiative to say when he moved to bed: "Tsunade rescued countless injured and poisoned ninjas on the battlefield of the Land of Rain. She is very popular among the grassroots, and her medical ninjutsu skills are also the best in the village. Top-notch, it’s perfect for her to take charge of the medical department.”
"And didn't Uchiha also build a nondescript Police Department hospital? In theory, all hospitals in the village are under the jurisdiction of the Medical Department..."
Mito Kadoyan also agreed, "Just let her have a good fight with the Uchiha Police Department."
Regarding the suggestions put forward by the two old consultant friends, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that they were reasonable, so he decisively agreed.
At the same time, I am very satisfied inside.
After all, he is an old friend of his. He is considerate and considerate in everything he says and does. He recommends all the disciples he has taught. This proves that his nickname of "Ninjutsu Professor" is well-deserved and that he is indeed quite good at understanding people and teaching them. Have attainments.
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he was simply a model of 'rewarding the wise and not avoiding relatives'.
"Then draw up the edict!"
