Chapter 124 After the meeting
After the Jonin meeting, everyone went home.

The patriarch of the Yamanaka clan went to the Akimichi family's barbecue restaurant for a late-night snack, but the father and son of the Nara clan did not join in the fun. They walked slowly on the streets of Konoha at night, walking home while walking.

On the way, the Nara clan chief asked his son Shikaku, "Shikaku, are you no longer optimistic about Hiruzen at all?"

Not long ago, when he wanted to stand up in a meeting but Shikaku grabbed his clothes to stop him, he guessed that his son might have committed the death penalty for betraying his old friend Hiruzen.

Nara Shikaku did not deny it.

"Yes, the third generation is too indecisive, looking forward and backward, and hesitating too much.

Under the circumstances at that time, he could either cut off his wrist and directly give up his position as acting Hokage in exchange for sympathy and compensation, or he could be tough to the end and reject Elder Inaba's request even if it was shameless!

But he didn't choose either. He didn't want to give up his seat or his face. In the end, he would end up in a situation where he only cares about one thing and loses the other.

In that case, unless he figures it out on his own, whatever advice you give me, dad, will be useless. "

The Nara clan leader sighed, mentally admitting that his son was right.

But he was still a little reluctant to part with it.

"Hey, what a pity. Originally, Hiruzen promised me that he would promote you to be the Jonin squad leader in a while."

Orochimaru is gone, Tsunade has not returned, and Jiraiya's heart is not in the village. If Sarutobi Hiruzen can regain his position as Hokage, it can be said that it is a certainty that the Nara family will get the Jonin squad leader.

But Nara Shikaku sees much more clearly than his father.

"Don't be blinded by a false title, look at Elder Inaba, he is so talented! But facing the position of Hokage so close at hand, he can give up without hesitation and retreat in order to advance.

That is the true far-sighted ninja. "

The Nara clan leader was startled for a moment, and then he realized something like waking up from a big dream.

"You're right, son, it's daddy who made me obsessed for a moment."

As he said this, he patted Shikaku's shoulder with great relief.

"I'm very happy that you can always be so sober. It seems that I can finally leave the family to you with confidence."

He originally thought that this would be a very warm, touching and ceremonial inheritance scene. Unexpectedly, his son Nara Shikaku's shoulders slumped, and he refused with a fish-eyed expression on the spot.

"I do not want."

"Huh? Why?!"

"Being the patriarch is very troublesome. Dad, you still have hands and feet, you can run and jump. I think you can still be the patriarch until you are 80 years old."

The Nara clan chief blew his beard and glared angrily.

"You! You! You! You little bastard, you still want me to work until I'm 80?! There's no way! I tell you I'll retire tomorrow! You will be the next patriarch!"

"Why is this? It's so troublesome..."

For any ninja clan, the position of clan leader is not only up for grabs, but at least everyone aspires to it.

Not long ago, the Uchiha clan almost went full martial arts to choose a new clan leader at Nanga Shrine!

But for the Nara clan, things were a little bit dumbfounding.

Because he found it too troublesome, he couldn't even give him the position of clan leader, which made Shikaku's father so angry that he wanted to beat him.

"All right……"

In the end, although Nara Shikaku agreed, he still had an expression of "It's so troublesome, I'm reluctant, I'm forced to open business."

He even began to think in his mind: How about letting Elder Inaba quickly clear out Konoha?Will I be able to live a retired life early?

If the old patriarch knew this, he would probably have to do it on the spot: The father saw that the son was still alive, so he drew out the seven wolves!

……

That night, most of the ninjas were relatively calm after returning home. It was time to eat and sleep.

In addition to the two ninja clans, the two largest eye-jutsu giants in Konoha!The Uchiha clan was very uneasy because as soon as Uchiha Shigenyu returned to the clan, he immediately received a hero's welcome!

At this jounin meeting, Uchiha Nanaha, who attended as the clan leader, deliberately did not bring Shisui who was on the same front, but brought Uchiha Tsunade, a representative of the radical faction.

The purpose is to let this follower report her achievements to the whole clan as soon as possible after she comes back!

There is no doubt about the credibility of the accounts of the radicals themselves!

At this point, the radical party, which had the largest number of people in the clan, was completely convinced by her as the new patriarch and could no longer resist.

What Hinata Inaba said before the meeting is absolutely correct: the best way to divert internal conflicts is to find a way to vent external pressure!
Finding the perfect target of the Sarutobi clan, Qixuanyu finally twisted the Uchiha clan, which was originally a ball of scattered sand, into a rope!

Now even the most unhappy elder Qingwu dare not speak ill of this little girl publicly in the clan.

Otherwise, the Uchiha around him would quarrel with him every minute, "You said the clan leader is not good, then can you make that old dog like Sarutobi Hiruzen give in? If you can, go ahead, if not, don't beep!"

Another ninja clan who was very restless tonight was the Hyuga clan.

Hinata Hizatsu came back from the meeting and was immediately surrounded by five clan elders.

"How's it going, Hizu? Does that boy Inaba want to be the Hokage? Has he reconciled with you? If he wants to return to the family, we have to offer good conditions and we can't give that boy an easy ride!!"

Call them brainless, but they are also a little clever. At least before the Jonin meeting started, several of their clans could see that Hinata Inaba must have a big plan!
But if you say they have brains, it doesn't seem like they have much...

Several elders of the Hyuga clan were even dreaming before the meeting, thinking that Hyuga Inaba would take the initiative to ask them to reconcile and return to the clan!

Because they feel that young people can only become sharp-edged when they are young. When they reach a high position, they will inevitably become sophisticated and smooth.

If you want to be a hero, you can fight alone, but if you want to be Hokage, how can it be possible without the support of the ninja clan?

So they all naively thought that Hinata Inaba would surrender and seek peace this time.

After all, they are of the same race, so they are natural backers!

Moreover, the Hyuga clan was known as a wealthy family in Konoha in the past, and it was enough to compete with the Sarutobi clan!
At this time, seeing that Hinata Hizashi had not spoken yet, the branch guard Jōnin he brought with him to the meeting spoke first.

"Inaba, he became the elder of the village."

Several clan members were stunned, but still optimistic.

"Oh, becoming an elder first and then seeking Hokage is a good move!"

"As an elder, you also have to win over the support of the ninja clan, otherwise why would he fight against Hiruzen's Sarutobi clan? Hizu, did that kid win over you before the meeting?"

"..." Hinata Hizu was still unable to speak.

In the end, he relied on the help of the jounin of the branch family to explain.

"Elder Inaba did get the support of a wealthy ninja clan at the meeting. He cooperated with the clan leader tacitly and beat Hiruzen Sarutobi to the point of being unable to resist."

Several clan elders were excited and worried when they heard this.

"Hizu, that clan leader is you, right? So you promised him? Hizu, you are confused! You should discuss the conditions first! Tell me, what did that boy promise to our Hyuga family?"

Until then, Hinata and Hinata finally couldn't continue acting...

What was promised?He also wants to know what was promised!

Hinata Inaba ignored him throughout tonight, not even making eye contact once! !

Talking about conditions is nonsense! !
"No...nothing." Hinata Hizu replied in a hollow tone.

"What do you mean there's nothing?! Are you really confused, Rizu?!"

"Inaba didn't even say a word to me tonight. The clan leader who cooperated with him at the meeting was Uchiha..."

At that moment, all the clan elders were stunned.

Uchiha...what the hell? !
