Chapter 83 High-Level Meeting
This time, it was Koharu Utatane who spoke up: "Whether it's your Hyuga branch family or the main family, you are all villagers of Konoha."
"Because of your mistakes, too many people have died unjustly. You must be punished."
After Koharu finished speaking, she glanced at Fugaku and Chiyo without leaving a trace.
But to everyone's surprise, the two of them didn't react at all.
The Third Hokage continued, "Hereby, Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Muneaki are stripped of their honorary elder status."
Hiashi Hyuga's expression was somewhat gloomy, and he was about to say something when he was stopped by Muneaki Hyuga beside him.
Although the Hyuga clan received the titles of these two honorary elders, they were not actually assigned any official positions.
It's a nominal position, and even if someone has voting rights in such a meeting, it doesn't mean much.
Although they won't be able to attend high-level meetings anymore, it won't really have much of an impact.
Previously, Hyuga tried so hard to curry favor with Hiruzen Sarutobi, but she was still betrayed. Now that the honorary elder has taken it back, so be it.
Zong Zhao was worried that the Uchiha would be fooled, but now he sees that this Uchiha Chiyo is not simple at all.
Even at this meeting, the Uchiha clan was led by Chiyo.
Konoha didn't fall into any of the traps they dug.
The next step should be to compromise with the Uchiha.
As expected, after issuing the punishment for the Hyuga clan...
The Third Hokage then changed the subject: "Because of Danzo's actions, the interests of the Uchiha clan have been greatly damaged."
"In addition, Uchiha Chiyo successfully thwarted the Fourth Mizukage's invasion."
"The two honorary elder positions vacated by the Hyuga clan will be filled by Fugaku Uchiha and Chiyo Uchiha."
Originally, Chiyo had planned to have the Hyuga clan exert their influence to force Konoha to relinquish two elder positions.
However, the incident involving Hyuga Mitsunobu led to the complete dismantling of the Hyuga clan.
Although the honorary elders were changed to Fugaku and Chiyo, these were all trivial matters.
The Uchiha clan remained silent, while the Third Hokage continued reading:
"The Uchiha Security Force has been restored to a size of 30 squads."
Upon hearing this, Fugaku glanced at Chiyo. Just as Chiyo had said, Konoha was indeed preparing to use this to trap them again.
"Are you done talking?"
Seeing that everyone was waiting for the Uchiha clan to make their statement, Chiyo turned around and asked the Third Hokage this question.
The Third Hokage slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Chiyo, do you have any opinions to offer?"
Qianyao tapped the table a few times:
"It's not really an opinion, just a few minor things I need to remind everyone of."
"I have said that Danzo is in cahoots with the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' rampage."
"Qianyao, we have not found any relevant evidence."
Mitomon En said in a deep voice.
Danzo can fall, but he must never die; this is the bottom line for any deal with Danzo.
Qianyao seemed to have known this answer all along, and was not surprised:
"We Uchiha have no interest in expanding the security force. After all, we've lost it for too long and don't want to pick it up again."
"However, I think Konoha Academy is missing a principal from the Uchiha clan."
Everyone present tensed up. What was the Uchiha clan up to?
Want the principal of the Konoha Ninja Academy!?
Although the Konoha Ninja Academy cannot compare to the mission center and hospital system, its influence is still considerable.
All the successors of the ninja clans are in the ninja academy, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is also in the ninja academy.
The former headmaster of the Ninja Academy was just an honorary elder of a small ninja clan, who didn't actually do anything.
This position is practically meaningless; all the teachers are directly appointed by the Hokage.
But if this position were given to the Uchiha, wouldn't that cause a lot of trouble?
"Impossible! This position will never be given to your Uchiha clan!"
Xiaochun reacted strongly to the change of dormitories, feeling that Qianyao was indulging in wishful thinking.
The Third Hokage also said in a deep voice, "The Konoha Ninja Academy currently has a principal, and we cannot replace him without a reason."
Qianyao spread her hands apart to show her innocence:
"Oh dear, we Uchiha have so many children, and we are very willing to learn and improve together with the successors of other ninja clans."
"But I'm worried that my kids might get kidnapped, so I want to become the principal of the ninja academy to protect their safety!"
Qian Yao's pointed remark left the other ninja clan elders deep in thought.
Then he tapped on the table: "I wonder who the principal of the Ninja Academy is now?"
"it's me."
An honorary elder whom Qianyao was unfamiliar with stood up; his name was Takashi Tamura.
Aside from a few famous clans that have honorary elders, other smaller clans in Konoha usually elect one from among many clans.
Takashi Tamura is such an honorary elder, generally belonging to the marginal figures who follow the trend.
"I think Elder Takashi Tamura has worked too hard and could retire early."
Chiyo gave Tamura Takashi a look.
As a marginal figure in the upper echelons, Takashi Tamura's ability to survive to this day is undoubtedly excellent.
He surveyed the entire venue, noting that apart from the occupants of the Tsutomu family, the Mitomon family, and the elders of the Shimura family, who remained expressionless.
The elders of the ninja clan, led by Ino-Shika-Cho, all gave him a look of agreement.
Elders like him are essentially fence-sitters; they often just go along with whatever the Hokage says.
But now the situation has changed, and even the Uchiha clan was almost wiped out.
If they were to attach themselves to the Hokage's faction, they would probably be devoured, leaving not even bones or scraps.
Anyway, he was just a nominal principal and never actually did any work.
He pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"Elder Chiyo is right. I am too old to serve as the principal of the Ninja Academy. I hereby resign from the position of principal and ask the Third Hokage to find someone else."
Koharu's expression changed slightly; she hadn't expected Takashi Tamura to switch sides so easily.
The Third Hokage merely frowned slightly and said, "Elder, have you made up your mind? The position of Ninja Academy Principal is hard-won."
Since Takashi Tamura has already decided, there won't be any more backsliding at this point.
He coughed twice as if to be polite: "Time waits for no one, please forgive me, elders of the three generations."
That's hilarious. Takashi Tamura isn't even fifty yet; time waits for no one.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is now sixty years old, yet he still clings to power.
It's incredibly ironic.
Everyone present had a somewhat amused expression.
Qianyao tapped the table, immediately drawing everyone's attention.
"Since your elder has resigned from the position of principal of the Ninja Academy, I, Uchiha Chiyo, possess the Mangekyou Sharingan!"
"The strongest clan in the ninja world, the fourth elder of the Uchiha clan, and an honorary elder of Konoha."
"Is there anyone who objects to my running for the position of Ninja Academy principal?"
Qianyao rattled off his entire list of titles and then stared at the elders of the Hokage lineage.
Whether it was the dormitory supervisor, the Mitomon, or the elders of Shimura, they all looked at each other in bewilderment.
I never expected Uchiha Chiyo to pull such a stunt.
They all looked at the Third Hokage with pleading eyes.
Since none of the other elders voted against it, even if they had, their votes would have been invalid.
And their vote against it now boils down to two words.
start a feud.
The Third Hokage held the power to veto Chiyo's proposal.
However, Chiyo's confident demeanor clearly indicated that he was not worried about the Third Hokage refusing.
The Third Hokage gave a wink to the elders.
The elders remained seated, unperturbed. Since the Third Hokage had agreed, why should they object?
Qianyao, usurping the host's place, announced:
"Since no one objects, then the Ninja Academy principal is mine."
