Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 691 Questions and Answers
"Master Hokage, before answering your question, can you answer me a question first?"

Watching Lu Jiu's nervous expression, realizing that this conversation might take a long time, Lei Luo was about to tell Lu Jiu to cut a long story short, but at this moment, the smell left over from the battle with Guanghui rose to the tip of his nose...

"Let's talk somewhere else."

He waved at Lu Jiu nonchalantly, thinking that he hadn't visited the capital for so long, Lei Luo took the first step towards the Daming Mansion, and when Lu Jiu saw this, he had no choice but to hold back his restlessness and quickly followed.

At 08:30 in the evening, the sky had completely darkened, and the sky above the capital city of the Kingdom of Fire was gradually shrouded in night, and the hazy moonlight cast down, covering the world with a thin layer of tulle.

In this slightly bustling city, 08:30 is obviously not the time to rest, especially the first congress held today, making the people of the Nation of Fire unable to recover from their excitement for a long time.

Daimyo, Hokage, high officials, big businessmen, parliamentarians, prime ministers and prime ministers, officials and nobles, generals and ninjas...

The great figures who were out of reach in the past gathered together and worked hard for the future development of this country. In order to gain the support of these insignificant civilians, they fought impassionedly and with all their strength...

Most importantly, the candidates for the prime minister and the ruler are really determined by the votes cast in their hands. This unprecedented scene, this extremely intense ideological impact, almost makes everyone living in the capital, three The audience is faintly shaken by it.

It also made them realize... what a constitution is.

The sky in the Land of Fire has changed. There is no doubt that all levels of society are aware of this, and this naturally includes those Konoha ninjas who participated in the Congress and witnessed the entire meeting process.

On the brightly lit streets, citizens can be seen chatting together in twos and threes. The chill atmosphere caused by the coup a week ago is no longer present. In the current capital city of the Kingdom of Fire, almost everyone is looking forward to the new era. Come and feel the passion.

In the semi-outdoor spacious meatball shop, the sound of wind chimes rang from the beams of the back room. Lu Jiu felt the autumn night wind blowing on his cheeks head-on, and he felt very cool, and his restless thoughts calmed down a lot unconsciously.

Glancing at the plate of three-color meatballs on the table, and then at the pedestrians coming and going eagerly discussing something on the street outside the store, Lu Jiu finally turned his head and looked at the person who had just finished chatting with the store owner. Lei Luo said with a smile:

"Master Hokage, it seems that the people have a good sense of the New Deal. The weather in the capital today is really different from a week ago."

Raising his hand, he picked up a bunch of meatballs and stuffed them into his mouth. Lei Luo chewed for a moment, frowned slightly, and then put down the wooden skewer with two meatballs left.

"What the hell is this, so sweet."

Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Lei Luo quickly swallowed the sweets in his mouth, noticed the faint smile on Lu Jiu's face, wiped his mouth, and responded to the other party's previous words in a neither salty nor light way:
"Release part of the power of personnel appointment to the people, so that they can deeply feel the power of the constitution. If the country is lawless, it will not be established, and if the law is unfair, it will be unstable. The era of aristocratic officials wantonly oppressing civilians is over."

"This era belongs to the era of capital, belongs to the era of development, and is also..." After a slight pause, he realized that Lu Jiu was listening carefully. The corners of Lei Luo's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sincere smile, and slowly said the last sentence:

"Belongs to the age of expansion."

Hearing the subtext in Lei Luo's words, Lu Jiu's eyes flickered slightly. At this moment, the young Nara patriarch sensed the power of Hokage-sama. strengths are different.

If you have to say it, this kind of power may be called boldness...

It may also be called, pattern.

Lu Jiu watched Lei Luo's confident and firm smile, feeling the majestic momentum of the other party who regarded the whole world as a chessboard, all social classes as chess pieces, and the changes of the times as a chess game, and his mind was involuntarily turbulent.

There was a moment of silence, and all the thoughts surging in my heart were condensed into one at this moment, making Lu Jiu bite his lip tightly. After a while, he cast his piercing gaze over there, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Master Naruto, what kind of position will we ninjas be in this era?"

He glanced at Lu Jiu in surprise, and noticed that the other party's expression was full of anticipation and anxiety, which was very complicated. Lei Luo didn't rush to answer. Lu Jiu is a smart person. He didn't think the other party would ignore the constitution, about ninjas. the content of this piece.

That said, what this question really wants to ask is...

"When the peaceful evolution plan is over and the world is declared unified, including me, all ninjas of Naruto from now on will be loyal to the Constitution and obey the leadership of the cabinet and Congress."

Lei Luo said this sentence very calmly, but Lu Jiu seemed to have received a severe shock. He subconsciously raised his hand and accidentally knocked over the plate on the table. The three-color balls were scattered on the ground, but they could not attract Not the slightest bit of attention.

"That is to say..." The tone trembled slightly, the question that had been lingering in my heart for the past few days was finally asked by Lu Jiu, who mustered up all his courage:

"When the world is unified, you will completely return power to the Congress and the members?"

Konoha's position, the country's position, were entangled in Lu Jiu's mind. Lei Luo once again saw the deep meaning of the other party's question from his expression, and answered calmly and slowly:

"That's right. At that time, I will no longer interfere with the decision-making of the Congress, nor will I interfere with the operation of the cabinet. In the future, Hokage and Konoha Ninja will directly lead the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister, and the indirect leaders will be the councilors."

The prime minister is decided by the parliamentary vote, and the prime minister is decided by the people's vote. Most importantly, these two positions have a term of office, not a nonsense life tenure. Lei Luo can say such a thing now, and the courage he has shown is unimaginable And know.

And Lu Jiu also got his answer.

From this, the next question arises:
"Master Hokage, I want to know, you treat me..."

Lu Jiu has already asked more than one question, and the fundamental intention of his progressive and continuous probing is also reflected in the last half of the sentence. Lei Luo smiled slightly and answered word by word:

"Lu Jiu, you are a member of the Fire Nation. As long as you abide by the constitution, no one can force you to do anything. This is my guarantee to you."

"But I only have one request..." Lei Luo paused, seeing Lu Jiu's solemn expression, he also became a little more serious, and said in a more serious tone:
"No matter when or where you are, don't forget that you are a ninja, and you represent not only yourself."

The seven members who came from the secretariat and were then inserted into the Congress by Lei Luo were regarded as his means of directly influencing the formulation of national bills to prevent certain things from getting out of control.

But these ninja councilors also have the ability to think independently, and they suddenly have the power to interfere with national legislation. Even if they know who they should listen to, they will inevitably want to go further.
