The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

"I agree too!"

"The roots must be taken down!"

"Konoha doesn't need roots!"

"I support the Hokage's opinion."

. . . . . .

As a result, the number of jonin groups supporting Minato became even larger, already accounting for about four-fifths of the total number of jonin in Konoha.

As for the remaining one-fifth, they were the three elders and the family of the Third Hokage, and they did not express their opinions.

After all, the leaders of their several ninja clans either did not express their opinions or disagreed with the suggestions made by the Fourth Hokage, so how could they dare to express their opinions?

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see clearly from the situation at the scene that Watergate's policy would definitely be passed.

Even if the remaining jonin collectively opposed Minato, the ratio of those in favor to those against would still be 4 to 1. Those who supported Minato had an absolute advantage!

Strictly speaking, at this Jonin Conference, as long as no one interrupted Minato's final suggestion to abolish the Root, the outcome would not have been changed.

No matter how powerful the Council of Elders is, it only represents the three of them and the families behind them.

How can a group of this size go against the entire Konoha?

That would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

Today, Danzo and his Root are in a state of being pushed down by everyone.

In Cangsi's opinion, Danzo had done too many bad things, and this result was inevitable.

Of course, Souji also believed that Danzo would not remain silent, but this was exactly the purpose of Souji and Minato.

After Danzo's Anbu was abolished, if the other party still dared to do trouble behind the back of Minato, the Fourth Hokage, then next time there would be a reason to directly remove his position as elder.

Minato's goal has never been limited to the Root, Danzo is the biggest target.

The Root can destroy thousands of them, but as long as Danzo is still alive, he can rebuild the Root at any time!

Minato's attack this time was just to knock out Danzo's minions first.

Later on, Minato had already thought of several ways to remove Danzo from the position of the Elders.

As long as Danzo and his Root fall, the remaining two elders, Mitokado En and Utane Koharu, will not pose much threat to him.

"You, you guys... Hiruzen, how could you

What do you say?" Minato led so many jonin to attack him collectively. Before the jonin conference was held, Danzo had never thought of this.

Originally, he thought Minato was still very young, and even if he became Hokage, he would still need the help of their Council of Elders.

If he just joins forces with Mitomon En and Utane Koharu, even if Minato wants to touch him, he will have to consider the consequences first.

What's more, Danzo was also confident that the Third Hokage would definitely not sit idly by.

This is also the reason why, although Danzo had anticipated that Minato wanted to attack him, he was not actually too afraid.

But facing the attack from the entire village's jonin, Danzo was not confident that his three friends would dare to go against the wishes of so many jonin and stand up to help him.

Sure enough, after so many jonin started to attack, both Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu fell silent.

They really wanted to help Danzo, but just as Danzo thought, they did not dare to risk offending more than 80% of the jonin in the village by lending a helping hand to Danzo.

Because the consequence would be that they would not pull Danzo out of the whirlpool, but both of them would be swallowed up along with Danzo!

In this case, my friend must die before I can.

What's more, only the Root is gone, not Danzo himself. He, Danzo, is still one of the elders of Konoha's high-level organization.

If Minato was planning to attack Danzo this time, the two of them might still argue with him again, but if it only involved the Root, they didn't want to take the risk.

After Danzo, who was filled with anger and had no place to vent, turned to look at the Third Hokage for help, the whole audience fell silent.

They also wanted to see what choice the Third Hokage would make.

Will he support the Fourth Hokage, who is his disciple's grandson? Or will he support Danzo?

As for the two elders, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu, it seems that they are not going to continue interfering in this matter. ..

In other words, they have essentially abstained from voting, neither opposing nor supporting it.

As for Danzo, he can only place his hopes on the Third Hokage.

"I support Minato's proposal." After a long silence, the Third Hokage spoke softly.

No matter what, Minato chose the Fourth Hokage himself and was the most suitable successor to the position of Hokage in his mind.

Even though they had different opinions on some points, the Third Hokage would never refute Minato in front of so many people.

"Huruzen, you..." After the Third Hokage said this, he directly announced the death sentence of the Root.

There is no hope. No one can stop Danzo's Root. From today on, it will completely withdraw from the historical stage of Konoha.

As the Third Hokage finished his words, the entire audience suddenly burst into cheers.

"Great, the Third Generation Master also agreed!"

"Yes, this way, the matter is settled!"

"The roots can finally be eliminated?"

"I have waited so long for this day. One of my friends died at the root!"

"Me too. My friend didn't die on the battlefield, but ended up dying at the hands of his own people. This is hell!"

The atmosphere at the scene was unprecedentedly warm, and everyone was cheering that the root had been abolished and the sword hanging over their heads had been removed.

And some people, even until this moment, still can't believe that this day will come.

The root, just as its name suggests, is deeply rooted in Konoha, and grows by sucking the blood of everyone in Konoha.

Although it can make the village more stable, this false stability is caused by the fear in everyone's hearts.

Who would want to be visited by the roots for no reason one day, or have their friends taken away by the roots?

During this period, Danzo's Root had such a great deterrent power in Konoha!

In the original work, it is because the country has entered a peaceful era, and the Third Hokage has suppressed the Root several times, that the Root will not be as powerful in the future.

In times of turmoil, when the Ninja World Wars often occurred, the Root was indeed of great significance to the village.

Wrong protection.

But in peacetime, such a sharp blade will only hurt one's own people!

Looking at the cheering scene, the Third Hokage, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

They didn't expect that the Root had already caused dissatisfaction among so many Jonin in Konoha!

Originally they just thought that although some people in the village had opinions about the roots, they would not have such a reaction after the roots were cancelled.

But today, reality undoubtedly slapped them hard in the face.

Not a single jonin expressed dissatisfaction with the cancellation of the Root. Oh, no, the jonin of the Shimura family didn't seem to look very happy.

What the three did not expect was that the Sarutobi family also joined in the carnival!

Today, everyone has witnessed how smelly this root is.

This is no longer just adding insult to injury, but everyone is one of the people who pushed the roots into the well and drowned.

This is an irresistible trend, and it cannot be stopped by several high-ranking elders of Konoha.

After this incident, the meeting ended quickly. After all, Minato's original purpose in convening this jonin meeting was to attack the Root.

Now that the goal has been achieved, other boring and trivial matters only need to be done as a formality.

After the Jonin meeting ended, Danzo left the conference hall alone with a gloomy face.

After Minato's proposal was approved, he could no longer keep the Root Weaving and had to go back to make arrangements for the follow-up matters.

"Minato, I underestimated you. But don't be too proud. I don't know how long you can stay in the position of Hokage. That position will be mine in the end!" Danzo not only cursed Minato viciously in his heart, but also held such unrealistic fantasies about the position of Hokage.

At this moment, Danzo regretted extremely about one thing he had done, which was backstabbing Orochimaru!

If that incident had not happened, the person who would have become the Fourth Hokage would have definitely been Orochimaru.

And with his many years of cooperation with Orochimaru, even if his roots could not be expanded any further, it would not be unwoven like it is today.

The gap between the two was really too much for Danzo!

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. That thing has already happened and there is no going back now.

Danzo had done more than one or two such things where he ended up losing more than what he gained.

Every time he was full of confidence and wanted to do something big, reality would always slap him in the face and wake him up.

It was like this when he helped Hanzo, and it was also like this when he targeted Souji.

I don’t know if it’s because Danzo was born cunning that he was possessed by the god of bad luck.

There are so few successful examples of what he wants to accomplish!

But Souji can also understand it, after all, he is the 5.5th generation Hokage in the original work.

On the other side, after the Jonin Conference ended, Souji met Uchiha En, Minato, and Uzumaki Kushina briefly, and after saying hello a few times, they each went home.

Such is the busy life of a Hokage.

Let’s not talk about Cang Si for now. He himself has no idea about the position of Hokage. As for Uchiha En, he has now chosen to lie down and has completely forgotten the lofty words he said during his time in the ninja school.

Cang Si remembered that Uchiha En originally wanted to become the first Hokage for the clan?

Now, Uchiha En, looking at Minato's life as Hokage, can't help but feel fortunate that he didn't have any overly brilliant performance in the past.

Otherwise, if he became the Fourth Hokage, he would be the one who suffered!

Chapter 314: Scorpion Targeted by Cang Si

After the Jonin meeting ended, the Third Hokage went to find Minato.

At that time, Minato was a little nervous, thinking that the Third Hokage was here to blame him for attacking Danzo without even saying hello.

However, what Minato did not expect was that the Third Hokage's purpose in coming to him was not this, but to once again hand over the two Anbu teams in his hands.

At this moment, the power of Anbu in the hands of the two men was completely reversed, with Minato controlling three-quarters of the power and the Third Hokage only controlling one-quarter.

The Third Hokage's actions directly confused Minato. Not only was he not here to scold him, but he was also here to return the Anbu's territory?

This really made Minato confused for a moment.

"Are you surprised that I didn't blame you and instead handed the Anbu over to you?" The Third Hokage asked after taking a puff of his cigarette, as if he knew the doubts in Minato's heart.

"Ah, no, Lord Sandaime, I..." Minato felt a little embarrassed when his thoughts were pointed out directly by the Third Hokage, and he didn't know how to answer.

It was because Minato knew that the Third Hokage was truly doing this for his own good that he acted so embarrassed.

After all, if you think from a rational point of view, what he did this time was right, and even if it happened again, he would still do it.

From a sensible point of view, his behavior was a bit unfair to the Third Hokage.

"No need to explain, Minato. After all, I was the Hokage for quite a long time. I know that in that position, many things are considered differently from others. I can understand that." After the Third Hokage exhaled a puff of smoke, he smiled and comforted Minato.

"Thank you for your understanding, Sandaime." Minato thanked sincerely.

"In fact, at the beginning, I was really angry for a moment, thinking that you were too impulsive.

But later, when I saw so many people supporting you, I realized that it was us old guys who were wrong, not you.

You now look so much like me when I was young, both wanting to do our best to make the village stronger.

But now that I am old, I can no longer find the ambition I had back then."

The Third Hokage looked at the young and energetic Minato and said with emotion.

There is another point that the Third Hokage did not say, which is that the methods displayed by Minato this time made him see what a mature Hokage should look like.

That is, no matter what time, never give up because of difficulties.

Minato bypassed him and attacked directly from the village's jonin, which was undoubtedly in line with the Hokage's way of doing things.

The Third Hokage also knew this. He was worrying that Minato was too young and didn't understand anything, which was undoubtedly a waste of time.

Since Minato has already shown his Hokage side, why should he continue to be the bad guy and keep the Anbu under his control?

Therefore, the Third Hokage chose to hand over the two Anbu teams to Minato again and let him play freely.
