Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

Konoha, Hokage Building.

The four top leaders gathered again and held a rare jonin meeting.

Except for the jonin who were out on missions, all the jonin in the village were present.

When they reach the level of jonin, any major event that happens in Konoha basically escapes their ears, let alone a major event like a disastrous defeat suffered by the front-line troops.

The two brothers Hyuga Hiashi and the Hyuga clan's senior ninjas sat on one side. Their uniform black kimonos made the senior ninjas sitting around them dare not even breathe.

No one doubts that the Hyuga clan, who have always insisted on peace and conservatism, now hates Kirigakure. Anyone who dares to say something friendly and harmonious towards Kirigakure will definitely be scanned by this group of white eyes countless times all day long.

"It's my fault. I underestimated Kirigakure's strength, which led to such a defeat on the front line."

I can’t remember how many times the Third Hokage has apologized. As he is about to abdicate, Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to have come to terms with it and is not afraid of having a few more stains on him.

"Minato, the wedding is over, and the honeymoon should be over. This time, you will be the general, and we will gather ten battalions of the former northern forces to crush the claws of Kirigakure."

Unexpectedly, not long after the meeting started, the Third Hokage quietly dropped a bomb.

Without consulting anyone, he bypassed the discussion session with the jonin squad and directly issued the mobilization order.

After coming back to their senses from their astonishment, the jonin in the hall all turned their gazes towards the man.

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen did have the right to make direct appointments, but there were people in Konoha who dared to contradict him and asked him to take back his momentary willfulness.

"As a wartime general in the north, it is my duty to wipe out Kirigakure with the original organization."

Seeing Danzo Shimura standing up, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression turned grim. Could he say that he just didn't want Danzo to hold military power anymore?

If nothing unexpected happens, the Fourth Hokage will be decided after this war. He has no idea whether Danzo, who holds the military power, will cause any trouble.

"Danzo, we are not young anymore, it's time for the younger generation to contribute."

"I agree with your idea. Let's call Orochimaru back. With his many years of experience stationed on the Eastern Front, he is just the right person to serve as the admiral."

Hearing his old friend's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not respond, but buried his head in taking a few puffs of his cigarette.

He couldn't sleep for nights these past few days. On one side was his direct disciple who inherited his ninjutsu, and on the other side was his grand-disciple who agreed with his political ideas.

Both of them are gifted and rare geniuses. It would be great if Jiraiya had a personality like Minato. It would be great if Orochimaru and Jiraiya were a match. But the world is so helpless.

He can only choose one of the two.

The conference hall fell into silence. Even Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, who usually tried to mediate, did not dare to speak up on such matters.

Golden Flash was still sitting in the audience, and with so many people in the hall, it was impossible for Orochimaru not to get the news afterwards.

Although the three of them were discussing with Minato Namikaze, what if Hiruzen changed his mind at the last minute?

Orochimaru is not a good person to begin with. If he knew the role played by the two elders, would he be able to escape unscathed?

The safest way to handle this is to let Hiruzen decide for himself.

At this moment, the jonin in the meeting room came to their senses.

This is not a fight between admirals at all, but a fight between the Fourth Hokage.

For a moment, except for the Yamanaka clan who stood still like a mountain, the other jonin exchanged glances with each other, blinking their eyes faster than turning pages of a book.

"I agree that Minato Namikaze should be the admiral."

As the atmosphere froze, the Hyuga clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi, dressed in black, suddenly stood up and looked at the Third Hokage with a determined look.

"In this war against Kirigakure, the Hyuga clan will definitely do their best."

Everyone looked at the representative of the Konohagakure clan as if they were getting to know each other all over again.

Could it be that the death of a loving father really had such a powerful effect that even Hyuga Hiashi, who never stood out from the crowd, could support the third generation despite the assassin's glare.

"I support the proposal of the Third Generation Master."

"Namikaze Minato is the best choice, Jonin."

"..."

With the first heavyweight supporter, other small and medium-sized ninja clans also expressed their opinions, and most of them supported Minato Namikaze.

The Hyuga clan usually keeps a low profile, and the family they rely on is far ahead of the Uchiha clan.

Some people are attracted by their attitude of not causing trouble, some are attracted by their stable power structure; in short, they just want the stability of their family.

In Danzo's eyes, they were just a bunch of useless people who didn't want to make progress, and he often mocked them. After all the humiliation, it was strange that they agreed to Danzo's proposal.

Uchiha Fugaku sat in his seat without saying a word, while the younger brothers around him were so anxious that their Sharingans were almost smoking.

Silent messages are transmitted through the air.

Clan leader, it’s fine if you act like a Bodhisattva at the clan meeting, but now that there is such a good opportunity to deal with Danzo, how can you let him go?

You didn't stand up and fight like Hinata Hiashi did, and everyone understood you. Now that someone has spoken out, you have to give Shinobi Yami a blow.

My younger brother has a lot of psychological activities in his mind, but Uchiha Fugaku has another layer of worry.

Shinobi An is no longer without a successor like before. The man with the power of the Mangekyo God is sitting not far away.

Didn’t you see the three magatama in his left eye glowing red?

All these small and medium-sized families that jumped out were recorded in the little notebook. Just wait, with the way the Dark Ninja lineage behaves, they will all be in trouble.

The longer it stays stable now, the more people will come to stand in front of Uchiha and attract his attention.

This is called maximizing benefits.

Just as the Uchiha clan leader was trying to continue calming down, an unexpected figure stood up.

"I support Danzo-sama. Orochimaru-sama is the best choice for the Eastern Front's general."

Also a member of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizashi expressed the opposite attitude amid the incredulous gazes of a group of follower families.

After greeting Shimura Danzo, he turned his gaze to Kato Makoto and bowed his head.

"Interesting, is this a sign of surrender to me?"

The white-haired young man touched his chin and nodded slightly.

One is in the open and the other is in the dark, neither of them helps the other and neither of them offends the other. These two brothers play very colorfully.

But it’s okay. The potential of the Uchiha clan’s Sharingan has not been fully tapped yet, and the equally ancient Hyuga clan might also have something.

The weight of the branch family is a bit low, but judging from the tacit understanding between the two brothers just now, the White Eyes should be obtained.

The Hyuga clan went through a difficult "decision". Those who had just been eager to express their opinions now all had Sima expressions, especially when they noticed the gaze of the red eyes looking at them, they wished they could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

"There's no way to avoid it now. I have to find a way to visit this big guy."

Several jonin who were sitting close to each other looked at each other and understood what each other meant.

"I wonder what Master Cheng likes?"

"Do you guys have any news?"

While everyone was discussing secretly, a senior ninja thought for a moment, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind, as if he understood something, and he lowered his head and stopped discussing.

The meeting wasn't over yet, but the balance had already tilted.

Orochimaru's popularity is indeed not as good as Namikaze Minato's. Coupled with Sarutobi Hiruzen's open support and Shimura Danzo's hatred, it is a foregone conclusion that Orochimaru will lose this crucial vote.

"You will regret your decision today, Hiruzen."

Danzo did not look at the final result. Before leaving the venue, he stopped beside the Third Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and was about to say something, but then he put his head back and just picked up the pipe on the table and took two deep puffs.
