Chapter 97 The Scramble
Chapter 97 The Scramble
More than a day.
News from Konoha has gradually spread to the outside world.
The walls of Konoha were breached, Konoha was bombarded by numerous explosive tags, and even one of the Hokage Rocks was destroyed.
Later, there was even a Tailed Beast Ball attack.
It's fair to say that Konoha has lost a lot of face.
Especially the subsequent rampage of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, that's the real highlight.
Jiraiya and the Third Hokage were being chased and attacked, completely unable to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
The Third Hokage was injured as a result.
However, Uchiha Chiyo immediately controlled the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki upon his appearance.
Although the Sarutobi clan built a wall, many bounty hunters were left in Konoha.
However, the Mizukage created another hole in the wall with a Tailed Beast Ball.
Most of the spies from each village brought the intelligence back with them.
Each piece of information here can be analyzed to glean a great deal of information.
Just one day later, new information about Konoha emerged.
However, this time it seems more like Konoha trying to cover up their mistake.
Konoha bulletin board.
Konoha needs to give an explanation to the villagers about this matter.
Considering that not everyone is literate.
Someone was reading aloud next to the notice board.
"...Shimura Danzo's actions were extremely egregious and had a tremendous impact."
"Remove him from his position as Hokage's assistant, strip him of his status as an advisor and elder, and disband the Root organization."
The common people below buzzed with questions as they asked each other.
Who is Danzo?
What is the root?
"I don't know, I've never heard of it."
Danzo's presence in Konoha was very low; many ordinary people didn't even know who he was.
The Root is a top-secret organization, so it's normal that ordinary people don't know about it.
However, this announcement is not only aimed at ordinary citizens.
It doesn't matter if they don't understand, as long as others can.
The main event is about to begin.
"...Remove Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Muneaki from their status as honorary elders."
"It will be inherited by Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Chiyo."
"The Uchiha Security Force has been expanded to 30 squads."
"Uchiha Chiyo was credited with successfully repelling the Fourth Mizukage's invasion."
"He will succeed as the principal of the Ninja Academy."
The crowd of onlookers was buzzing with excitement.
"Why is the Uchiha in the security force again?"
"It looks like things won't be easy from now on."
The general public does not have a good impression of the Uchiha clan because they are known for their impartiality and inflexibility, and they don't give an inch to anyone.
In the past two years, after the guards were replaced, they were all replaced by people from other ninja clans.
Now that the Uchiha's security force has been restored, naturally there are complaints.
While the public showed concern for the police force, other eyes were focused on other information.
Although it wasn't mentioned on the bulletin board, all the spies knew that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's rampage was stopped by the Uchiha clan.
In addition to the previous incident of Danzo having a bounty on his head.
The Jinchuriki who attacked Konoha was the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.
Other factions in the ninja world have analyzed that the Konoha leadership has clearly compromised with the Uchiha clan, relinquishing some of their power.
However, the bounty on the black market was not withdrawn, clearly indicating that Konoha wanted to protect Danzo.
The Hidden Leaf Village and the Uchiha clan have not reconciled; instead, they have entered a very delicate state.
……
Hyuga family.
meeting room.
The atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat somber.
As time passed, the branch family learned of Hyuga Mitsunobu's death.
The Hyuga main family announced that Mitsunobu died after stepping on an explosive tag trap while on patrol.
but……
Of course, no one would believe such nonsense. They would definitely roll their eyes during patrols, and almost no one could escape the trap of being caught in such a trap.
There was little reaction to the split-up this time; the things the main family had worried about did not happen at all.
Now we need to quickly support someone who is close to the main family to lead the branch family.
Now, apart from the clan leader Rizu, the First Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder are all sitting here.
Hiashi said, "Now that the family has split up, they have accepted Mitsunobu's death, but lies will always be exposed."
“Our main family cannot directly govern the branch families. We need to promote a branch family elder to take over Guangxin’s position.”
"Please suggest who you think is suitable so we can discuss it."
Elder Muneaki's influence within the main family even surpassed that of Hiashi, and he spoke first:
"Yongren is good; he's simple-minded and obedient."
Second Elder Jianping said:
“Maodou is also worth considering; he’s daring and has many followers.”
The Third Elder, Jiuzang, pondered for a moment:
"I recommend Xiuzhi. It makes your mind sharp and is easy to use."
Each of the three elders individually recommended a member of the branch family who was close to them.
Japanese athlete looked around and said:
"Since everyone has different preferences, let's bring them over so everyone can take a look."
Seeing that Hiashi said this, the elder hesitated for a moment and then said, "Hiashi, why don't you also put forward someone?"
Hiashi closed his eyes briefly and sighed inwardly.
After Guangxin's death, these people began vying for power.
"Then I recommend Sota, after all, he is Guangxin's capable assistant."
The elders exchanged glances, after all, Cang Tai was only twenty years old, which was a bit young.
However, since it was Japan that proposed this, they couldn't really refute it.
Not long after.
The four people who had split up all entered the meeting room.
When Yuuto, Moto, and Shuto saw Sota, a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes before they returned to normal.
Hiashi addressed the four, saying, "Elder Guangxin has suddenly passed away, and his work needs to be taken over."
“We intend to select one of you four to serve as an elder.”
"What are your thoughts?"
Yongren immediately patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me. I will take over the position of elder and carry out the elder's orders perfectly."
With a smug look on his face, Maodou glanced at the three people around him:
"As an elder, one must be respected by the people. I am the strongest, so I should be the elder."
Second Elder Hyuga Kenpei smiled; this Shigeto was still so sharp and outspoken.
Xiu Zhi bowed to the clan leader: "The position of elder can be given to whomever the clan leader wishes, it is entirely up to the clan leader's command."
The elders all had different expressions, after all, these three elders had different scores, and it didn't matter which one became an elder.
It would be greatly beneficial to them, and they couldn't really say anything about it.
At this moment, Cang Tai spoke up: "Clan leader, I usually handle Elder Guangxin's affairs on his behalf."
"I am more suited to this role."
A hint of shock appeared in the eyes of Yuuto, Moto, and Shuji.
The most impetuous-looking hero had already impatiently said:
"Cangtai! You overestimate yourself. How old are you? You want to be an elder!"
Moto also snorted: "Souta, with your strength, you should just give up."
Xiu Zhi smiled and said, "Young people are inevitably impulsive in their actions."
Seeing the people below fighting fiercely for the position of elder,
Hiashi suddenly spoke up: "Let's go with Souta."
"He's more suitable."
The elders and the people below looked at Riji in surprise.
Japan's Japanese football team, however, firmly stated: "It's settled then. Meeting adjourned."
