Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Many ninjas immediately raised their arms to show their support for Yagami Yoruichi.

Some ninjas hesitated for a moment, but upon seeing their supporters, they chose to raise their hands in support.

The situation on the scene was clear: the vast majority of people supported executing Danzo Shimura, confiscating the Shimura clan's property, and sending all the Shimura clan's ninjas to the battlefield as atonement.

The resolution was passed without any doubt.

This can be considered a clever little trick employed by Yagami Yoruichi.

First, a punishment proposal is put forward, and then the Jonin are asked to vote on whether to approve it.

Instead of letting all the Jonin vote on how to punish them.

As a result, under the influence of the atmosphere, many people did not have time to think carefully and simply followed the crowd and handed over their voting rights.

"Now that everyone has made their choice, the punishment for Shimura Danzo is settled. Let's move on to the next topic."

Yoruichi Yagami continued, "The Third Hokage has resigned, but the village cannot be without a Hokage for even a day. Next, we need to elect a successor. I am not a Jonin, so I have no right to nominate or vote, and I will not express my opinion. Anyone who has a suitable candidate can suggest one."

"I propose this to Lord Sakumo Hatake!"

Nara Shikaku had already seen through the situation and reached an understanding with Yagami Yoruichi.

As soon as Yagami Yoruichi finished speaking, Nara Shikaku stood up and said, "Lord Hatake Sakumo's performance in the last Shinobi World War was evident to all. Just a few days ago, he led his troops to defeat the invasion of Kumogakure, and even defeated the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Raikage of Kumogakure. The Raikage died on the spot! This strength is enough to make him the Fourth Hokage. As for his character, Lord Hatake Sakumo's character is impeccable, as everyone has witnessed."

After saying this, Nara Shikaku gave Yagami Yoruichi a subtle look, meaning, 'I've done everything you asked me to do.'

Attributing most of the credit for defeating the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and killing the Third Raikage to Sakumo Hatake was something that Yoruichi Yagami and Shikaku Nara had agreed upon beforehand.

This was all to enhance Sakumo Hatake's reputation.

Chapter 185 Hashirama Senju: Wood Release is simple, all you need to do is form the 'Snake' hand seal...

According to the rules, electing a new Hokage requires three steps.

First comes the nomination, then the Jonin vote.

At least half of the Jonin need to approve before proceeding to the next step: a vote by all Konoha villagers.

If a candidate receives approval from more than half of the villagers, the candidate will be confirmed and submitted to the daimyo for confirmation.

Only after Daimyo's signature is signed and approved can the next Hokage be selected, and the Hokage succession ceremony can be carried out.

Of course, the most crucial step is the Jonin voting.

The opinions of villagers are easily controlled.

As for the daimyo, under normal circumstances, the candidates submitted by Konoha would not be rejected.

The Land of Fire is under the jurisdiction of the Daimyo, and the ninjas are under the jurisdiction of the Hokage. This is a rule that has been tacitly observed by both sides since the establishment of the "one country, one village" system.

Choosing who to become Hokage is an internal matter for Konoha.

Although the daimyo had the power of veto, he never used it.

In theory, the daimyo will decide which candidate to choose only when there are two candidates and their support rates are very close, resulting in a stalemate.

However, such a thing has never happened before in the history of Konoha's founding.

There were no surprises in the Jonin voting stage.

Although some people nominated Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade, or other candidates, and some even suggested that Yoruichi Yagami should become Hokage in order to curry favor with her.

However, Yoruichi Yagami refused, citing her young age and lack of experience, and expressed her support for Sakumo Hatake.

As expected, the subsequent Jonin election proceeded without any surprises, with Hatake Sakumo becoming the sole Hokage candidate with over three-quarters of the votes.

Next, all that is needed is to publicize the announcement in the village, collect the villagers' voting opinions, and then submit it to the daimyo. After receiving the daimyo's letter of appointment, Hatake Sakumo can smoothly become the Fourth Hokage.

After the meeting, Yagami Yoruichi left a clone behind to deal with the clan leaders of various ninja clans who wanted to curry favor with her, while her main body used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to Kurenai Yuhi's side.

"Yoruichi?!"

Kurenai was startled by the sudden appearance of Yoruichi Yagami. When she realized it was Yoruichi Yagami, she showed a surprised expression and pounced on her.

"Yoruichi, is it over?" Kurenai asked worriedly. "It must be very dangerous to stage a coup, right?"

Hearing the commotion, the others also ran out of their rooms and looked at Yagami Yoruichi with concern.

"It's alright, everything has been resolved smoothly," Yagami Yoruichi said. "Next, Uncle Sakumo will succeed as the Fourth Hokage. Once things stabilize in the village, you can go back."

The village is not stable enough right now, so Yoruichi Yagami does not plan to take them back immediately.

Although Yoruichi Yagami has the Flying Thunder God Technique to look after them, she would regret it for the rest of her life if even the slightest trouble occurred.

It's not too late to bring them back once Hatake Sakumo has completely consolidated power in the village, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane, those 'obstacles,' have all been sent to the front lines.

Yagami Yoruichi was only worried that they would overthink things if they waited too long, so he came over early to say hello.

"You can go back after Uncle Shuo Mao officially holds his inauguration ceremony and the village is completely reorganized."

Yagami Yoruichi quickly calculated the time and said, "About two or three months, it won't be too long. By the way, the village will issue a new rule at that time: ninjas under the age of sixteen are not allowed to carry out combat missions. You can all go back to the village and train in peace."

"Combat missions are not permitted?"

Kakashi Hatake asked a question.

Given the average age of ninjas, those under the age of sixteen accounted for nearly half.

If all ninjas under the age of sixteen are unable to take on combat missions, will there be enough ninjas to go around?

It might be enough under normal circumstances, but it's definitely not enough during wartime.

"Don't worry, since this policy has been announced, they will definitely be prepared."

Yagami Yoruichi waved his hand, indicating to Hatake Kakashi not to worry too much: "You just focus on your training and improving your strength. The village's higher-ups will take care of the rest."

The four ninja clans alone—Sarutobi, Shimura, Mitomon, and Utatane—have several thousand ninjas.

The vast majority of them are not registered in the village and belong to the ninja clan's 'private armies'.

Sending these people to the battlefield would not only fill the gap left by the underage ninjas, but would also greatly enhance Konoha's strength.

Not to mention, Yoruichi Yagami's personal strength also surpasses that of this era.

One person is enough to destroy a large ninja village.

If a major war were to break out, the ninjas on the front lines would only need to hold out for a while, allowing Yagami Yoruichi to make a trip to the enemy ninja village, and the war would be over.

However, there's no need to tell them these things.

"Oh, right." Yagami Yoruichi suddenly remembered something, looked at Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Tetsuka, and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I will take over the Anbu after Sakumo-san becomes the Fourth Hokage. How about you two come and help me in the Anbu then?"

Kakashi Hatake's strength goes without saying. With the help of long-term training and battles with Yoruichi Yagami, his progress is much faster than in the original work. He now has the strength of a special Jonin and is not far from becoming a Jonin.

As long as he gets older, his chakra reserves increase, and he accumulates more experience, he will be able to reach the level of a Jonin.

Uchiha Tekka is slightly less capable, but he is still a promising talent.

Considering his Uchiha clan identity, this can be seen as an effective way to deepen his relationship with the Uchiha clan.

Bringing these two into the shadows and training them will make them valuable allies.

"The Anbu?"

Kakashi Hatake thought for a moment, then said without objection, "If Father agrees, I have no objection."

Uchiha Tekka asked, "I am an Uchiha, can I join the Anbu?"

"Lord Sakumo is determined to change the current state of the village and establish a fairer system. As long as you are a member of the village, have enough strength, and are willing to dedicate yourself to the village, you can naturally join the Anbu."

Yagami Yoruichi said to Uchiha Tetsuka, "I have already spoken with your clan leader and the Eighth Elder. From now on, the Uchiha clan can not only join the Anbu, but also participate in the formulation of village policies. We will no longer treat you like prisoners as before."

"Really?" Uchiha Tetsuka's expression was full of surprise, and he said repeatedly, "That's wonderful! Thank you, Yoruichi-kun, thank you, Sakumo-sama!"

"We'll discuss the specifics after we return to the village and you get the details."

After saying a few words, Yagami Yoruichi started to shoo everyone away: "Alright, go back to your training. Kurenai and I have something to discuss."

"Alright, alright, I won't disturb your date anymore." Kakashi Hatake gave a teasing look and pulled Uchiha Tetsuka away.

Kurenai blushed bright red from the teasing and lowered her head, too embarrassed to speak.

Kaori Uzumaki still wanted to pester Yoruichi Yagami, but Rin Nohara forcibly dragged her away.

After spending a day with Kurenai Yuhi, Yoruichi Yagami returned to the village once again using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The village is still somewhat chaotic, but many things are back on track.

Many ninjas also began to spread the word about the previous 'misunderstanding'.

They also widely publicized in the village that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had decided to resign and had nominated Sakumo Hatake as the Fourth Hokage.

Along with the promotion, the numerous contributions that Hatake Sakumo has made since the Second Shinobi World War are also being highlighted.

It must be said that Sakumo Hatake's prestige in Konoha is indeed extremely high.

Since the Second Shinobi World War, Sakumo Hatake has repeatedly killed important members of the enemy, giving Konoha an advantage in local battles.

During the peaceful period of the ninja world, they also completed many extremely difficult missions.

Furthermore, the credit for Yagami Yoruichi's defeat of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the killing of the Third Raikage was also attributed to Hatake Sakumo.

During the period after the relocation of the village, Hatake Sakumo's prestige rose to a new level, gaining the support of almost all Konoha ninja.

Yagami Yoruichi used her shadow clones to wander around the village and eavesdrop on the villagers' conversations. She was completely certain that Hatake Sakumo would not encounter any problems in the villagers' vote of confidence.

Although the voting will not end for a full week, Yagami Yoruichi has already had people prepare the confirmation documents for the new Hokage to be submitted to the Daimyo.

Once the daimyo has signed the document, we can hold the Hokage inauguration ceremony and appoint Sakumo Hatake as Hokage.

After observing the surroundings and confirming that although the village was somewhat chaotic due to the previous battle, the turmoil was quickly subsiding thanks to the concerted efforts of the villagers, Yagami Yoruichi felt relieved and returned to the Senju clan's territory.

Using the talisman left by Tsunade to open the Senju clan's library, Yagami Yoruichi searched for a long time before finally finding the Wood Release ninjutsu scroll left by Senju Hashirama.

With Zyra's version of Wood Release, Yoruichi Yagami has essentially synthesized the 'Wood Release' attribute.

Yagami Yoruichi was naturally very interested in Hashirama Senju's Wood Release ninjutsu.

Yoruichi Yagami wasn't confident he could master those 'Sage Technique' level Wood Release techniques.

But even ordinary Wood Release is already extremely powerful.

From being born in the Tree World to mastering the Wooden Dummy Technique, which allows one hand to press the Nine-Tails to the ground.

Each Wood Release ninjutsu possesses astonishing scale and destructive power, making it well-suited for individuals like Yoruichi Yagami, with her vast chakra reserves, to unleash their full potential.

"Let's start with the wood clones."

Yagami Yoruichi opened the ninjutsu scroll, glanced at it a few times, and then gave a look that said, "Subway, old man, cell phone.jpg".

It says above.

Wood Release - Wood Clone Technique: Clasping hands together, gathering chakra, and creating a Wood Release clone.

Yagami Yoruichi sensed something was wrong and quickly flipped through the ninjutsu scroll to look at the next ninjutsu.

Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees: Form the 'Snake' hand seal, gather chakra, and create a large forest to surround the enemy. The trees can absorb the enemy's chakra, and it has a special effect against tailed beasts.

Turn the page again.

Wood Release: Descent of the Flowering Trees: Form the 'Snake' hand seal, gather chakra, and create a large number of forests and giant flowers with poisonous spores. Once the flowers bloom, they can release poisonous gas to attack enemies.

Wood Release - Wood Dragon Technique: Form the 'Snake' hand seal, gather chakra, and create a wooden dragon to attack the enemy.

……

I watched each ninjutsu technique one by one.

It was all about 'hand seals and chakra manipulation', followed by a brief explanation of the effects of ninjutsu.

Only in the description of the last ninjutsu, 'Sage Art - Wood Release - True Thousand Hands', is there an additional step of 'synthesizing Sage Chakra'.

As for the pathways and synthesis of chakra, including the most important aspect—how to cultivate ninjutsu step by step—not a single unnecessary word was mentioned.

"This is a ninja scroll?!"

Yoruichi Yagami had an urge to tear the ninjutsu scroll to shreds.

It would be strange if you could learn ninjutsu by following this.

All I can say is, they are all reincarnations of Asuras, aren't they?

Hashirama Senju's method of teaching ninjutsu is remarkably similar to that of Naruto Uzumaki.

Under their guidance, even naturally gifted ninjas would likely fail to learn anything.
