Chapter 1870 The Third Hokage
The square in front of the Hokage Building.
There were huge crowds of people, all with excitement on their faces.
today!
It was the succession ceremony for Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage.
Jiraiya's ascension to the position was the one with the least resistance among all the Hokage in history.
He doesn't need to be like Hashirama Senju, who punched the four countries and suppressed the entire Warring States Period.
He doesn't need to defeat Uchiha Madara with brilliant political skills like Tobirama Senju.
He doesn't need to share power like Sarutobi Hiruzen and rely on Uzumaki Mito's support.
He does not need to give up sovereignty and make compromises like Minato Namikaze.
Jiraiya's rise to power wasn't even his own idea.
The legal first heir to the position of Hokage is Tsunade, but Tsunade voluntarily gave up her right to inherit the position of Hokage.
The most powerful person in Konoha is Uchiha Setsuna, but Wang Ming chose not to participate in the Konoha election.
So Jiraiya passively accepted the authority of Hokage.
Jiraiya is the most legitimate Hokage since Hashirama Senju.
Legal principles, achievements, prestige and strength, none of them is lacking.
If I really have to pick out a flaw in him, it's that he's lustful and likes to peek into the bathhouse.
but,
Political leaders cannot be judged by the morality of ordinary people.
Jiraiya did not continue to wear the "Oil" forehead protector today, took off his red robe, and did not carry the huge scroll.
Wearing a white Hokage robe and holding the Hokage hat in one hand, he slowly walked out from the top of the Hokage Building and stood in the sun so that all the villagers could see him.
"Today! I, Jiraiya, will become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!"
"I will make Konoha strong again!"
Jiraiya's speech was brief, but it sounded very inspiring to the people.
Jiraiya's strength has been verified in wars, and his mission record is extremely impressive. In the eyes of the villagers of Konoha, after Jiraiya comes to power, he will never be beaten at his door again.
Jiraiya's inauguration ceremony was quite brief.
After the death of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya did not need to complete the hat handover ceremony with Sarutobi Hiruzen.
With the death of Danzo Shimura, the power of the Hokage was unified again and he no longer needed to share power with the Elders.
Jiraiya's position was quite positive, he did not need to prove his legitimacy through rituals, nor did he need to enhance his prestige through speeches.
He got to the position because of his strength.
After briefly introducing everyone to each other, Jiraiya returned to the Hokage's office.
In the Hokage's office with several huge glass windows, there were already more than a dozen people waiting. They were all powerful figures in Konoha at the moment.
"Hokage-sama!"
Jiraiya, wearing the Hokage hat, just nodded, walked straight to his desk and sat down, then glanced at everyone.
"Since you asked me to be the Hokage, Konoha must follow my rules from now on." Jiraiya said in a very firm tone.
"As it should be!"
"nature!"
"..."
Just as everyone responded, a discordant voice appeared.
"Jiraiya, even if you are the Hokage, you should follow the rules set by the previous Hokage..."
“Boom…!!”
The person who spoke was the chief of the Sarutobi clan. Before he could finish his words, Jiraiya overturned the table, and the flying table hit the Sarutobi clan chief directly, and his whole body was stuck to the wall mixed with a lot of sawdust.
"Old man! Don't think that just because you are from my teacher's family, you can tell me what to do."
Jiraiya's personality is generous, carefree and not fussy about details, but he cannot follow his temper after becoming Hokage.
Jiraiya looks like an eccentric guy in front of Uzumaki Naruto and Tsunade, but never forget that he is also a ninja, a commander who can command a large army into battle.
Just because he doesn't use political tactics doesn't mean he doesn't know how to use them.
Three fires for the new official to take office!
This sentence is usually heard by people who complain about their bosses, giving people the feeling that it is a derogatory term, but in fact it is a power strategy.
If you are not a person with absolute authority and do not make these three changes after taking office, you will end up in great trouble later.
Jiraiya originally didn't want to start these three fires, but the chief of the Sarutobi clan showed his power to him as soon as he took office. If Jiraiya didn't suppress it, how would he manage Konoha in the future?
"Since you are my teacher's family, I was planning to have you quietly return the embezzled Konoha resources, but I didn't expect you, an old dog, to be so greedy."
"According to the rules of the previous Hokage?"
"Will you continue to allow a bunch of parasites like you to corrupt Konoha?"
The entire office was silent, and no one dared to breathe loudly, because the people in the office might be clean, but the families and forces behind them might not be.
"Sarutobi!"
Jiraiya pointed at the Sarutobi clan leader who was sliding down the wall, and then turned his finger and said, "Tatene, Shimura, Mitomon, listen to me. I will give you one month to return all the Konoha resources you have misappropriated. Don't think that as long as Uchiha Setsuna can deal with you, I can do the same."
"Same with the rest of you."
"As long as we replenish Konoha's resources, I can pretend these things never happened."
After hearing this, the people in the office who were feeling uneasy immediately calmed down.
Making up for the resources owed to Konoha would indeed cost the family a lot of money, but they didn't dare to say anything against it.
Now it's not Jiraiya who needs them, but they who need Jiraiya.
Without Jiraiya to offer them protection, they were nothing more than lambs.
The voluntary sacrifice of the Sarutobi clan leader allowed Jiraiya to complete the entire process of establishing power and prestige, including the three major steps a new official takes upon taking office, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, and giving a big stick before a sweet date.
All the ninjas present were temporarily relieved about Jiraiya, the Hokage.
It has been 57 years since the beginning of the Ninja Village Era. Every Ninja Village has formed an inherent pattern of interest distribution. If these families defect to other Ninja Villages, they will definitely be excluded and suppressed by their original forces.
The secret techniques of Ino-Shika-cho and the others can be stolen; the training methods of Aburame and Inuzuka can be copied; the summoning beast scrolls of Sarutobi and Shimura can be taken.
The only families in the office that are qualified to join other ninja villages are the Hyuga and Kurama families. Other families will be wiped out if they join them.
But even if Hinata and Kurama defected, they would only become studs and breeding machines, breeding their own blood for other families.
Therefore, these people did not dare to refute Jiraiya's words, and did not even blame Jiraiya. They just cursed the stupid Sarutobi clan leader in their hearts.
The chief of the Sarutobi clan was originally a puppet chosen by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and during the voting, he took up an extra seat for himself, so the person he chose was mediocre and stupid.
"Lord Hokage!"
"The entire Uchiha clan has evacuated the police department. Is the village going to take over the police department?"
Nara Shikaku stepped out to change the subject, not wanting Jiraiya to continue digging deeper into the village's financial deficit. Jiraiya pondered for a moment and said, "No need! Let's keep the status quo."
After saying this, Jiraiya was about to continue arranging other matters when a masked Anbu rushed into the office, knelt on one knee, and presented an urgent report with both hands.
Jiraiya picked up the report and took a look at it, his brows immediately furrowed into a shape of a "川" (川).
"What big thing has happened, Hokage?" Nara Shikaku felt inexplicably uneasy, as if this scene was somewhat familiar!
The same was true for others, but they couldn't remember where this familiar feeling came from.
Jiraiya: "The Fourth Raikage Ai invited me to participate in the Five Kage Summit."
In an instant, everyone remembered where the sense of familiarity came from.
Last time, Danzo Shimura had just been elected as the Fifth Hokage, and immediately there came an urgent report that the Fourth Raikage Ai had sent troops to the border. This time when Jiraiya came to power, a letter from the Fourth Raikage Ai also came immediately.
"Hokage, those despicable barbarians cannot be trusted. You must not keep the appointment." Inuzuka Hana exclaimed immediately.
Jiraiya looked at Inuzuka Hana in confusion, "Why?"
Inuzuka Hana just said it subconsciously. When she was directly questioned, her face suddenly turned red. She couldn't say anything logical at all, but she still said reluctantly:
"Danzo-sama successfully won the Hokage election, and then went to the Kumogakure battlefield to meet with the Raikage Ai, and then died."
"The death of the Third Hokage was also due to the Raikage Ai."
"The Second Hokage also participated in the meeting in Kumogakure, so he died in battle."
"I...I think Kumogakure is a little weird...As long as the Hokage and the Raikage meet, it will be soon..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Aburame Shiwei turned around and scolded Inuzuka Hana.
Then she pleaded with Jiraiya, "Hokage-sama! Hana didn't mean to offend me. Please forgive me for speaking without thinking."
Just when Jiraiya was about to reveal it, Akimichi Choza subconsciously said to himself: "It seems that the last opponent of the Fourth Hokage in the Kumogakure battlefield is also the Raikage Ai!"
Suddenly, the office became quiet again.
Even Jiraiya began to doubt it.
Jiraiya thought to himself, "It shouldn't be so weird!"
Everyone took a deep breath and felt something inexplicably reasonable.
Yamanaka Inoichi also scolded Akimichi Chojo, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Qiu Dao Ding Zuo was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted, scratched his hair, and said with a silly smile: "Hahaha!!"
"How can the Raikage defeat the Hokage-sama? That's nonsense."
"Master Shodaime has seen that the first Raikage is safe and sound." Akimichi Choza secretly praised his own cleverness.
But everyone is still somewhat suspicious. For many things, people prefer to believe it rather than not.
"Hokage-sama! You should think carefully about going to the appointment!" Hinata Hiashi also spoke.
Hinata Hiashi secretly wants the Uchiha to take the power, but he also has no ill feelings towards Jiraiya, and there is no conflict of interest. He can accept Jiraiya taking power, so he doesn't want anything to happen to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya looked at Nara Shikaku and said, "Shikaku, you are known as Konoha's top think tank. Please analyze this. Should I go to the appointment?"
Nara Shikaku said a few simple and modest words, and immediately said seriously: "I also do not recommend going to the appointment."
Jiraiya: "Oh! Please tell me more specifically."
Nara Shikaku said: "It is obvious that the Raikage has bad intentions in this Five Kage meeting."
"The Great Uchiha Elder stripped the Third Tail Isobuki of the Fourth Mizukage."
"According to the data and intelligence analysis, the second tail brigade is most likely also in Yu... cough cough cough!!"
Nara Shikaku didn't say the rest of his words, but everyone basically understood what he meant.
Danzo was resurrected, and it was confirmed that Uchiha killed him. In this way, the whereabouts of the two-tail is basically no longer a secret.
It’s just that due to Wang Ming’s powerful strength, everyone chose to turn a blind eye and forget about this matter.
"Once the Hokage attends the meeting, he will inevitably face the Kirigakure and Kumogakure at the same time to ask for the tailed beasts, but we really have no way to hand over the tailed beasts." Nara Shikaku said.
Jiraiya's expression also became serious. The relationship between Uchiha and Konoha was very bad now and they were basically on the verge of a breakup.
"If we listen to the Raikage and his men and go to the Uchiha to ask for the tailed beasts, it would be tantamount to a direct declaration of war."
"Instead of going to war with the Uchiha, it would be better to declare war on the other four villages."
Jiraiya looked into Nara Shikaku's eyes and said seriously, "Do you think the Uchiha are stronger than the other four major ninja villages?"
Nara Shikaku said: "It is indeed true in terms of high-end combat power. Uchiha Setsuna's strength has been proven not long ago."
"The Uchiha family still has 14 pairs of Mangekyō, which means 14 Kage-level ninjas."
"In addition, there are five or six hundred pure-blooded Uchiha who have opened the three-magatama Sharingan. If a real fight breaks out, no one knows if a few more Mangekyō will appear."
Listening to Nara Shikaku's words, everyone couldn't help but recall the slogans shouted by the Uchiha on the night of the Uchiha clan's extermination.
"We really shouldn't have conflicts with the Uchiha. After all, we are from the same village."
Nara Shikaku continued, "This Five Kage Summit."
"It's actually a trial."
"A trial specifically targeting my Konoha."
"Since a fight will occur if we cannot hand over the tailed beast, why bother to attend the appointment? We might as well just declare war."
Jiraiya pondered for a moment and said, "Just follow what Shikaku said and send a letter immediately to ask Kumogakure and Kirigakure to give an explanation for the surprise attack on Konoha, otherwise Konoha will immediately declare war on them."
Jiraiya didn't want to start a war, but he had to start a war.
He needs to give an explanation to all the villagers of Konoha, and he also needs to re-establish the prestige of Konoha.
Although Konoha is powerful, it is also afraid of being targeted by all the ninja villages together.
It is said that even a tiger is afraid of a pack of wolves.
Therefore, Jiraiya could only fight with one punch to open the battle, so as to prevent Baiquan from trying to start the battle and re-establish the prestige of Konoha.
·······
Uchiha clan.
Wang Ming could originally control the Konoha barrier and monitor the entire Konoha. Now that the clan’s territory has become a floating island and is always above Konoha, it makes surveillance even more convenient.
Wang Ming heard every conversation in the Hokage's office clearly.
"Can the Raikage defeat the Hokage?" Wang Ming muttered.
Shimura Danzo and Senju Tobirama both died after meeting the Raikage. Tsunade and Naruto also died once.
"It seems that the first Hokage could not escape this vicious circle!" Wang Ming suddenly thought.
The first Five Kage Summit was held in the 7th year of Konoha. Senju Tobirama did not die, but the position of Hokage was passed to Senju Tobirama the following year.
Hashirama Senju's vitality is extremely strong, and the passive recovery effect of his body exceeds Tsunade's special skills.
Even though he had been dead for decades, the cells he left behind still had terrifying vitality. But such a person as Hashirama Senju actually died in the 16th year of Konoha!
"Could this be another thing like "Daoyou, please stay?" Wang Ming subconsciously pinched his fingers, wanting to deduce it, but then stopped.
When you are weak, it is better not to touch the trajectory of the world's destiny, as that will easily alarm the world's laws. (End of this chapter)
