Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Leaf.

Inside the meeting room.

"Fugaku!"

"Chiba has awakened Wood Release!"

"Do you want the Uchiha clan to return to the era when they were suppressed by the Senju?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted loudly.

He's trying to sow discord!

He was trying to awaken the fear and hatred deep within the Uchiha clan.

In an instant.

All eyes immediately turned to Uchiha Fugaku.

Yup!

How could the Uchiha clan possibly agree to this?

These are mortal enemies!

Fugaku Uchiha crossed his arms over his chest and closed his eyes slightly.

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's shout.

He slowly opened his eyes, a fierce, scarlet glint flashing deep within them.

The Senju clan suppressed the Uchiha clan?

Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

The Uchiha clan now doesn't even have the right to be suppressed!

The Konoha leadership wants to uproot them all and use them as experimental subjects!

Then.

Fugaku Uchiha slowly stood up.

He ignored Hiruzen Sarutobi's roar and turned to face Chiba in the corner.

"The Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku."

"I fully support Lord Chiba in succeeding as the Fifth Hokage!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

crazy!

They've all gone mad!

The Uchiha clan actually submitted to the Senju clan?

This is even more outrageous than a sow climbing a tree!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was struck as if by lightning.

He clutched his chest tightly, feeling waves of intense, stabbing pain in his heart.

How is that possible?

He had painstakingly built a network of power over the past forty years.

It fell apart in just a few minutes!

Koharu and Homura were completely terrified.

Their legs went weak, and they slumped into their chairs, their minds completely blank.

It’s over.

The leadership's power has waned.

Do not!

still have a chance!

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly turned his head and looked in the other direction.

The Hyuga clan has remained silent.

As long as Hyuga doesn't agree.

Even if Chiba gets the support of other families, it won't be legitimate.

"Nizu!"

"Say something!"

"The Hyuga clan is the foundation of Konoha!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hands frantically, like a drowning man.

the other side.

Hiashi Hyuga sat in the chair, expressionless.

Although he had been to the Senju headquarters and had spoken with Chiba alone.

But he was truly unprepared for these things.

but.

Hiashi Hyuga isn't stupid.

The wall fell and everyone pushed.

Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Aburame, Uchiha.

The core fighting force of Konoha has all sided with Chiba.

If the Hyuga clan were still clinging to the coattails of the higher-ups at this point...

Once Chiba has fully taken control.

The Hyuga clan is facing absolute annihilation!

He had witnessed the terror of the Thousand Hands Wood Release technique firsthand the day before yesterday.

A wooden doll several hundred meters tall could flatten the entire Hyuga clan territory with a single slap.

Can't afford it!

They're absolutely not to be trifled with!

Japanese foot suddenly stood up.

He took a deep breath... no, he didn't even dare to take more than a breath.

"The Hyuga clan!"

"Unconditionally support Chiba-sama!"

boom!

The last straw broke the camel's back, and it came crashing down.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely paralyzed.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, muttering to himself.

"It's over..."

"It's all over..."

The entire extended family has expressed their opinions.

Those commoner Jonin who have been suppressed by the higher-ups, how could they not be aware of the winds blowing?

These old guys withhold mission rewards and give all the good missions to their cronies.

These civilian ninjas could only serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Everyone's had enough!

"I support Lord Chiba!"

A commoner special ninja suddenly stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"It's long overdue for a replacement!"

"High-ranking officials are corrupt and persecute their colleagues; they are unfit to lead Konoha!"

That statement is like a spark falling into a powder keg.

The entire conference room erupted in cheers.

"The third generation abdicates! Advisors out!"

"Support the Senju clan in regaining control of Konoha!"

The sentiment is indignant.

The sound waves grew louder and louder, almost lifting the roof off.

Those ninjas who used to be obsequious in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi all changed their expressions at this moment.

They used the most vicious language to denounce the crimes of Konoha's high-ranking officials.

Mitokazu was trembling all over, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

Xiaochun, who was switching dorm rooms, was so frightened that she couldn't even speak.

Looking at this scene.

Fujiwara, standing above, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This mission was handled exceptionally well.

If the daimyo were to understand the situation here, he would surely reward him handsomely.

"Gentlemen."

Fujiwara cleared his throat, and his voice echoed throughout the hall.

"It seems everyone's eyes are sharp."

"The voice of the people is the true will of the people in Konoha."

"The daimyo's recommendation was indeed correct."

"Lord Chiba, you are the one everyone wants!"

Fujiwara turned around, faced Chiba in the corner, and bowed respectfully.

"Lord Chiba."

"Look at this matter..."

Chiba, who had been silent all along, finally made a move.

He dusted off his clothes and slowly stood up from the chair.

There was no excuse.

There wasn't a trace of insincere politeness.

He doesn't need to resort to Hiruzen Sarutobi's "I didn't want to come out of seclusion, but the village needs me" act.

Chiba raised her eyes.

An extremely terrifying amount of chakra erupted from his body without warning.

Rumble!

The floor of the conference room began to shake violently.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the walls, and the glass windows creaked under the strain.

The chakra pressure of a late-stage Kage-level expert!

Like a tangible tsunami, it instantly swept through the entire hall.

Some of the weaker special jonin even had their knees buckle and fell to their knees.

asphyxia!

despair!

This power does not belong to humankind at all!

The entire room fell silent.

Chiba surveyed the entire arena from his elevated position.

He was very satisfied with the result.

Reasoning?

He hates being reasoned with.

Might makes right.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic..."

Chiba spoke.

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears.

"Then I'll reluctantly take on this mess."

"Starting today."

"I am Senju Chiba."

"Temporarily assume the position of the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village."

"Two weeks later."

"Hold a formal succession ceremony."

Speaking of it.

Chiba paused, his gaze sweeping over the three pale-faced Sarutobi.

"Anyone who disagrees?"

"Now you can step forward."

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Who dares to disagree?

Do you want to die?!

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't dare utter a single fart.

Why should these subordinates stand out?

Hiruzen Sarutobi bit his lip so hard that his teeth drew blood from his lower lip.

humiliation!

What a shame!

He served as Hokage for his entire life.

Now, in his old age, he is being forced to abdicate and usurp the throne by a sixteen-year-old boy.

But he dared not utter a sound.

The aura emanating from Chiba made him feel threatened by death.

He is old.

We can't beat them.

He could only swallow his anger like a stray dog.

"very good."

Chiba withdrew his chakra.

That suffocating sense of oppression vanished instantly.

Everyone was panting heavily, their clothes soaked with cold sweat.

"Since no one has any objections."

"Then let's adjourn the meeting."

Chiba waved his hand, as if shooing away a fly.

Fujiwara folded his folding fan and jogged over to Chiba.

"Lord Chiba, congratulations!"

"The people in Daimyo are still waiting for your good news."

"Could you perhaps find some time to visit the capital in the next few days?"

"The daimyo has prepared a generous gift, and we are waiting for you to receive it."

Chiba glanced at him.

Daimyo of the Land of Fire?

He's just a guy destined to be a puppet.

"understood."

"I will go."

Fujiwara, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, nodded repeatedly.

"Then I will not disturb you any longer while you are handling village affairs."

"This humble official will return to report immediately!"

That's all.

Fujiwara, accompanied by a few attendants, dashed out of the conference room.

The meeting was adjourned.

The commoner jonin dared not linger.

In the blink of an eye, the huge conference room was completely empty.

The door slammed shut.

Inside the meeting room.

Only Chiba remains.

And the dejected Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado.

Also standing on either side are Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, Yamanaka Inoichi, Aburame Shiki, Uchiha Fugaku, and Hyuga Hiashi.

The core power structure of Konoha.

Or rather, the scene of the transition between old and new power in Konoha.
