Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 686 Prime Minister
Members may or may not understand that Lei Luo does not want to be the prime minister, but in short, the 21 members representing the strength of the Congress all elected Lei Luo to be the prime minister.

It was Lei Luo who overthrew the daimyo forces, Lei Luo supported the capitalist forces, and he, the fourth-generation Hokage, controlled the Konoha ninja forces. He competes.

Lei Luo calculated all kinds of situations that might arise in the first Congress, but he only ignored himself, ignoring what he now means to the Nation of Fire, bureaucrats, businessmen, and ninjas.

"Well, since you must choose me as prime minister, then I will be this prime minister..."

After taking the oath in front of the constitution, Lei Luo looked down at the crowd, and unexpectedly saw pairs of eyes full of expectation, which made him feel a little complicated.

But soon, he adjusted his mentality and changed the topic: "However, the prime minister's energy is limited after all, so I tend to elect another prime minister to manage the cabinet on behalf of the prime minister and exercise most of the state power."

"As for the candidate for the cabinet prime minister..." Lei Luo looked up and glanced at the people in the venue. After thinking for a moment, Lei Luo continued, "Let's be selected by everyone present."

Hearing the meaning of Lei Luo's words, the capital councilors and bureaucrat councilors looked at each other, and then turned their heads in unison, looking at the various social classes sitting in the congress hall behind them, and the uncontrollable expression appeared in their eyes. Shine with desire.

Lei Luo must be the leader of the prime minister, and it must be like this, but the prime minister and all members of parliament have a chance to fight for it. This is what they perceive from Lei Luo's attitude.

As Lei Luo just said, the election of the cabinet prime minister is no longer decided by members of the council, but by everyone in the hall, which means...

"This old man intends to run for the post of Prime Minister of the cabinet. Those who support this old man please raise your hands!"

First, he gave Lei Luo a signal look, and after receiving a positive reply, Qian Tianyou suddenly stood up, turned his head, and sternly shouted at everyone in the Congress Hall, causing a commotion.

As if realizing something in an instant, Maeda Takashi also stood up quickly, and shouted with the momentum not weaker than Chida Yuu:

"Everyone, I, Gao Zhi, also wanted to be the Prime Minister the day before yesterday. As long as everyone supports me, I am willing to use all the [-] acres of real estate in the capital to build schools, hospitals and other public welfare facilities, and provide services to everyone for free. I will not take a cent!"

Since the people in the auditorium, except for a small number of ninjas from Konoha, most of them are ordinary people living in the capital of the Fire Kingdom, so Maeda Takashi's words caused a large-scale commotion as soon as he uttered them.

In the following time, the congressmen stood up one after another. The bureaucrats relied on their fame and reputation, and the capitalists relied on economic means. The two congressmen tried their best to win the support of everyone in the auditorium in order to obtain the power of the prime minister.

The current situation is obvious, Lei Luo sincerely does not want to manage the cabinet, and his prime minister is more in name, a symbol of the country's leader.

Therefore, the position of prime minister is the most important thing. To some extent, it can even be said that it is the actual ruler of the country of fire under the capitalist system, and its power is infinitely close to that of the previous daimyo.

The hall of the Congress suddenly boiled up, and the members of the Congress loudly preached their lines, wishing to promise all the benefits. The Konoha ninjas present had obviously never seen such a formation, and they couldn't help but fell into a state of looking at each other.

Glancing left and right at the crazy-looking crowd around him, and then at the group of congressmen in front of him who were screaming hoarsely, Bei Liuhu's eyes were full of confusion, and then asked Fu Yue who was sitting beside him for no reason:
"What's going on here? Don't they know that Master Hokage is the real ruler of the Kingdom of Fire? Is there any point in their fighting?"

Fuyue was silent for a moment, opened his closed eyes, glanced at Bei Liuhu lightly, moved his lips, and managed to utter a few words after a long time:
"Master Hokage, I don't have time to manage specific things."

Noticing that Beiliuhu's face was still dazed, Fuyue's heart did not fluctuate, organized his words, and explained tirelessly:

"According to Hokage-sama's vision, Konoha will expand its scale in the future, recruit a large number of ninjas from the Nation of Fire, form a standing ninja army, and occupy a place in the political arena of the Nation of Fire."

"These things alone are enough for Hokage-sama to be busy. How can he have time to take care of other things? Appropriate distribution of power can also unite the hearts of the people of Fire Nation."

"The position of prime minister is equivalent to being the chief steward of the Land of Fire. He is in charge of the Land of Fire indirectly for Mr. Hokage. His status may not be inferior to that of his previous daimyo."

"The most important thing is that becoming the Prime Minister is equivalent to getting the full support of Hokage-sama and Konoha, so you understand?"

Looking at Beiliuhu's thoughtful nod, but his eyes still revealed confusion, apparently pretending to understand himself, Fuyue didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, and instead observed the situation in the lobby.

Due to the impassioned speeches of the congressmen, the people of the Nation of Fire present, no matter what their status or class they belonged to, suddenly became a little eager to try it out. Obviously, they were very interested in this election system.

But the Kingdom of Fire is a traditional feudal country after all, and the change of ideas and concepts cannot be accomplished overnight. Even though the atmosphere in the auditorium is very enthusiastic, when it comes to the step of voting by show of hands, the people still fall into unprecedented hesitation , resulting in very few responders.

The official career of the great man, the fate of the country, and the choice of the ruler are all in the hands of ordinary people like me at this moment. Arms raised, exercise this sudden suffrage.

Unknowingly, the Congress Hall fell silent.

The No.1 candidate, a former high-ranking official of the Fire Country named Yuu Chida, the current member of parliament, stood quietly on the seat erected next to Lei Luo, waiting for the people of the Fire Country to elect theirs, the new term ruler.

In the front row, the members of capital and bureaucrats were very nervous, while the members of Konoha were very calm. Lu Jiu sat on the seat and looked at the capitalists and officials with blushing faces and thick necks with a faint look in his eyes. For a moment of thought, I don't know what I was thinking.

After a long time passed, Yuu Chida looked at the scene where no one raised his hands, and there was a wave of fluctuation on his face, as if he understood something. He looked back at the silent Lei Luo, and whispered:
"Your Excellency Hokage, the people of our country seem to be very unaccustomed to this power appointment system, so I suggest..."
