Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 373 On the Eve of the Hokage Appointment

The meeting lasted for a full month.

Ultimately, succumbing to pressure, Onoki opted for a large settlement.

The Sand Village and Konoha signed a coercion agreement and part of the puppetry technique.

As for getting the Sand Ninja to do some minor things, there are still some benefits to be gained.

Even Konoha couldn't believe that the Sand Village had actually handed over the puppet technique.

Sunagakure stated.

Both the Iwa ninja and the Kumo ninja now have a share, all of which were sourced from Mr. An.

Moreover, Mr. An has appeared once again.

Konoha will eventually be able to obtain Mr. An's stockpile of ninjutsu.

The other party will sell it for any amount of money.

The meeting has ended.

"The compensation from Iwagakure will be delivered to you in a few days."

After speaking in a cold voice, Onoki floated into the air and flew towards the sky.

"Let's go."

Luo Sha spoke directly to Fen Fu.

Everything in Sunagakure is taken care of on the spot.

Sand appeared beneath his feet, carrying him towards the sky, with Fenfu spreading its wings behind it and following behind.

The Yunren, who accompanied the team throughout the entire process, came in silence and also chose to leave in silence.

The only thing that relieved them was that Uchiha Kin really didn't say anything.

"It's finally over."

Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew a fight wouldn't break out, the debate in the meeting had been far too intense.

It feels like war could break out again at any moment.

"You, standing right here, are more worried than the Hokage."

Jin sighed helplessly.

Namikaze scratched his face.

"After all, even if there's only a one in a thousand chance of war breaking out, I still don't want to see it happen."

The war not only harms Konoha, but also the innocent people.

The war killed fewer than 10,000 ninjas, but it was still a major blow to the village.

But a significant number of civilians died among them.

"She's really kind."

Jin pursed his lips.

"Watergate".

"You'd better start thinking about how to beat me in this Hokage election."

"I won't lose."

Minato Namikaze wore a bright smile.

night.

The newly opened restaurant in Konoha was packed with people.

Everyone celebrated the end of the war, and with an absolute victory at that.

Jin sat in the main seat surrounded by people, smiling as he watched them chat.

Orochimaru, standing beside him, watched the lively scene with great interest.

He said to Jin as if he had just thought of something.

"Kin-kun, alcohol is one of the three forbidden things for ninjas."

"What does it matter?"

Jin said nonchalantly.

"Ninjas are human too, they also need to relax."

Making ninjas on call 24/7 is indeed asking too much of them.

"It seems that Kim has a different view on ninjas."

Orochimaru said in a slightly strange tone.

"I wonder if Kin-kun would be a good Hokage?"

Jin turned to look at Orochimaru, a hint of something deeper in his eyes.

"Doesn't Orochimaru-sensei know that my ambition isn't to become Hokage?"

"Yeah?"

Orochimaru didn't look at Jin, but instead watched the lively crowd with a look of enjoyment on his face.

He still couldn't bear to part with Konoha.

"I will run for Hokage with you."

Jin narrowed his eyes, watching the lively crowd.

"Orochimaru-sensei, you should know that the Third Hokage prefers Minato Namikaze, who is easier to control."

After all, what Hiruzen Sarutobi really wanted was a puppet, not a real Hokage.

As his basic internal skills improve, Hiruzen Sarutobi may well have a chance to reach the third level, and he won't really relinquish his power just because he's old and frail.

"We should at least give it a try."

Orochimaru's voice was filled with melancholy. Despite being an extremely rational person, he could still act on emotion.

"Then I wish you success, Orochimaru-sensei."

Jin raised his wine cup to Orochimaru and drank it all in one gulp.

Looking at the untouched wine glass on the table, Orochimaru picked it up with a smile and drank it.

The maidservant beside him immediately poured wine for Jin.

"So, Orochimaru-sensei, who are you planning to get to support you?"

Currently, both the Konoha ninja and the ninja clans are betting on Kin and Minato Namikaze, since whoever becomes Hokage, those who bet on him believe they will make a fortune.

However, most of the ninja clans still support Minato Namikaze.

Because of the village's long-standing beliefs, the ninja clan did not want an Uchiha to become Hokage.

After all, an unstable mental state is a characteristic of the Uchiha clan.

"I plan to cooperate with Danzo."

Orochimaru chuckled as he spoke of Danzo, noting that Danzo's men were now all under the command of Uchiha Kin.

This is also equivalent to Jin's support for him.

"Danzo should be fine, but Orochimaru-sensei, you need to understand that this will make the Third Hokage even more resistant to you becoming Hokage."

Orochimaru's strong sense of autonomy made Hiruzen Sarutobi reluctant to let him become Hokage, and Danzo, who was entrenched in darkness, was also a factor.

That would be even more difficult.

"We should at least give it a try."

Orochimaru also harbored a desire to become Hokage.

"Kim, I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."

If Orochimaru succeeds, he will naturally leave Kin's team.

At the same time, the two will naturally become enemies.

When interests differ, the resulting issues naturally lead to different camps.

Jin smiled without saying a word and stood up.

"Gentlemen."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stopped talking.

Jin's gaze swept around, lingering on everyone's faces for a moment.

These people have absolutely no ninjas from the ninja clan.

That doesn't seem to be right either.

He glanced at Hyuga Kiyoshi beside him, then raised his gaze to Kakashi, who was half-lying on the roof beam.

These two can also be considered members of the ninja clan.

and also.

Jin's gaze shifted to the Uchiha on the other side, whose expression was slightly agitated.

They were excited because the Uchiha clan was finally going to produce a Hokage.

The last time was when Madara Uchiha missed out on the Hokage position.

There were also some lone members of the small ninja clan.

The rest were all commoner ninjas.

Compared to the other ninja clans who favored Minato Namikaze, they favored Kin Uchiha more, since they had all grown up with Kin's help in developing ninjutsu.

It can be said that their current lives are largely provided by gold.

Let us encourage each other.

After saying that, Jin drank the wine in one gulp.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering if they had actually not heard what Jin meant.

but.

Immediately, someone echoed and shouted in agreement.

"For Lord Kim."

"Cheers!!!"

Kakashi, perched on the roof beam, rolled his eyes. These adults really didn't care whether he lived or died.

As a minor, you cannot drink alcohol.

Silently sipping my juice, thankfully this restaurant provides drinks.

Kakashi looked towards the rooftop, where several figures were standing outside.
