Utane Koharu's eyes rolled. "Huruzen, are you just going to give it up?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at her and said, "The one who gave way is Uchiha Owl!"

"Even if he is very capable, how can he get the chance based on seniority? Is the teacher confused?" Mitomon Yan was indignant.

Sarutobi Hiruzen added, "He just defeated Hashirama-sama in his prime, and Hashirama-sama didn't hold back."

Mitomon En choked, then sat down with a wry smile, and Utane Koharu sighed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but laugh at the look on his two old friends. "You two, Owl's rise to power is a good thing for Konoha. Konoha's current prosperity is inseparable from him. As long as you two abide by the law, there won't be any major problems."

The two men smiled bitterly in their hearts. Obeying the law? They were all thinking about how to benefit their own family. If it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who was in power, they would feel a little relieved.

If it was that Uchiha Owl, he probably would never have the chance to embezzle in his life.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Sarutobi Hiruzen announced the end of the meeting. Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu bowed and took their leave. Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at their backs and chuckled.

He knew exactly what kind of people his two old friends were. If he were the Hokage, he might be able to turn a blind eye. But now, he was going to retire and warned them that if anything went wrong in the future, it would not be his fault.

Utane Koharu and Mitomon En left and met Shimura Danzo who had returned from the Uchiha clan. The two looked at each other and asked quickly, "Danzo, did you know that Uchiha Oshige will become the Fourth Hokage?"

Shimura Danzo saw that it was his two comrades, so he stopped and nodded, "I know, Sarutobi told me."

"What do you think? I remember you always talked about the Uchiha clan being inherently evil." Utane Koharu's eyes lit up.

Shimura Danzo roared, "Stop talking nonsense! When did I ever say such a thing? Don't lie! Do you have any evidence? If not, I will punish you!"

Utatane Koharu:......

Mitomon En:......

In the end, the three people parted unhappily. After Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen talked about this matter, they left the Hokage's office.

The Uchiha clan members found a nearby tailor shop and asked it to expedite the making of a Hokage's sacred robe with the name of the Fourth Hokage written on it.

The tailor shop manager was shocked. Was the Uchiha planning a rebellion? Then, Shimura Danzo arrived and explained the situation. The tailor shop manager finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said to the Uchiha clan with a smile, "Time is a bit tight, but if you can do it, this is the price."

The Uchiha clan members threw their money bags and said, "The faster the better, the more refined the better. The Uchiha clan is not short of money."

"Okay!" The store manager smiled happily and asked his tailor to work overtime!

The Uchiha clan members were very grateful to Shimura Danzo for rescuing them, and the two men bowed in greeting.

Shimura Danzo smiled and said, "We are all serving the Hokage."

"Thank you, Lord Danzo!" The two ninjas saluted and handed over a box.

"This is the gift that Lord Owl asked us to give you. Please accept it. Otherwise, Lord Owl will punish us when we return." An Uchiha ninja said respectfully.

Seeing this, Shimura Danzo nodded, took the box, but did not open it. "Thank Owl for me."

"I understand!" The two ninjas left the tailor shop. Shimura Danzo shook his head and walked towards home.

When he got home, he opened the box and found three silver notes worth 100 million taels. His eyelids jumped. What does this mean? Which cadre can withstand such a test!

In the fierce struggle between money and principles, Danzo Shimura didn't know what he was thinking about. He closed the box, hid it in the secret compartment in the floor himself, and sighed.

How could he refuse the new Hokage's kindness? This was also for his own benefit.

In this way, countless people were busy and running around that night, while Uchiha Xiao went to bed early at home.

Thousand Hands Clan Land

Senju Tobirama informed Senju Hashirama about this matter, and Senju Hashirama nodded and said, "Just handle this matter as you see fit. I am not as good as you in politics."

Senju Tobirama paused and said, "Brother, you..."

Senju Hashirama waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I've seen a lot, your elder brother. Although I have different opinions from Xiao, a man should do what he says."

After saying that, Hashirama Senju stood up, smiled, and returned to the room.

Senju Tobirama looked at the back of Senju Hashirama and thought to himself, "I'm sorry, brother, this is all for Konoha."

Tsunade hid behind the door and overheard the conversation between Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju. Her mouth opened slightly. What? Her man is going to become Hokage?

There was joy in her eyes. Hokage, that was the position that all the ninjas in Konoha Village aspired to be, and her man, or her boyfriend to be exact, was about to become the Fourth Hokage when he was less than twenty years old!

Just thinking about it makes me happy. Then I ran towards my room humming a song and skipping.

Rhino Dog: "Is the position of Hokage really that good?"

"Of course, think about the leader of all the ninjas in the village, the top leader of the village. There are only five such positions in the entire ninja world! The value is extremely high!" Tsunade explained patiently.

Rhino Dog was stunned. That was indeed quite high. There were only five of them in the entire ninja world!

"Congratulations, Madam Hokage." Rhino Dog complimented at the right time.

Tsunade blushed, but she didn't argue, snorting, "Go to sleep! Tomorrow's a big day!"

The next day

The village became bustling before six o'clock. Each family had its own channels. After hearing the news that Uchiha Owl would soon succeed to the throne of the Fourth Hokage, they all went out one after another to give gifts to the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Guangzhi also got up early. He remembered what Uchiha Xiao said at the meeting last night, so he stood at the door and warmly welcomed the representatives of each family and served them tea personally.

However, he did not take any gifts, but returned them in the same way, saying that this was Uchiha Xiao's order. They were all compatriots from the same village, and he would also act impartially and make decisions for the villagers.

Chapter 227 Succession Ceremony

The Uchiha clan did not accept any gifts from anyone, and this matter quickly spread. Some people praised Uchiha Oshiro for being fair and honest, some complained that he was hypocritical, and some were jealous of him and said that he had obtained his position in an illegitimate way.

This shows that no matter how well you do or how outstanding you are, there will always be people who like you and there will always be people who are dissatisfied with you. We cannot be perfect, we can only do our best.

Danzo Shimura had heard about all this. His face darkened and he wanted to take action, but suddenly he remembered something, so he went to the Uchiha clan's territory.

When the Uchiha clan members saw Danzo Shimura coming, they quickly invited him into the clan to have a chat with Uchiha Owl.

Uchiha Xiao saw Danzo coming and smiled slightly, "Sit down. What's the matter? You are so anxious that even our Lord Danzo's breathing is a little disordered."

Shimura Danzo rolled his eyes and said, "Do you know what people outside are saying? Today is the day you succeed the Hokage. If you let them talk nonsense there, it will have a huge impact on your reputation!"

"Then what? Lord Danzo, are we going to arrest them just because of a few words from them? Wouldn't that be telling others that we are the kind of people they say we are, and we are guilty as thieves?" Uchiha Xiao narrowed his eyes and took a sip of tea.

Danzo Shimura was stunned. What Uchiha Owl said made sense. If he really did it, regardless of whether he could restore Uchiha Owl's reputation, it was estimated that the reputations of both of them would be ruined.

"So, what do you think, Lord Xiao?" Danzo Shimura calmed down, sat cross-legged on the ground, and asked seriously.

Uchiha Xiao smiled, unfolded the note that the guard regiment had just written down and handed it to Shimura Danzo, then sipped his tea.

Shimura Danzo looked at the names on the list and couldn't help but twitch his lips. "Tankinen Kazeda, Mitomon Kiyoshi, Tankinen Yushin, Mitomon Sen, Kagemura Shito..."

Shimura Danzo's eyes widened. He had never thought that Uchiha Owl was so well-connected that he already had the names of so many people without even showing up. Moreover, the Tenne family and the Mitomon family...

His eyes narrowed, "Hokage-sama, you tell us what to do. The Shimura family will actively cooperate! We will obey your orders!"

Shimura Danzo's address changed, and he realized that at this moment Uchiha Owl's thinking had shifted from a high-level leader to a shadow.

Those lists are the death warrants of their family. If he doesn't put himself in the right position, one day, something might happen to his Shimura family.

"Haha, Lord Danzo, you're joking. The Uchiha and Shimura families are close friends and loving brothers. How could we possibly let you handle such dirty work?" Uchiha Owl said lightly.

"It is not necessary to use force to destroy a family. Force is the lowest level solution." Uchiha Xiao smiled and then whispered in Shimura Danzo's ear.

Danzo Shimura's pupils shrank, and his eyes were full of fear as he looked at Uchiha Owl. So cruel!

Uchiha Owl stopped talking and patted Shimura Danzo on the shoulder. Then he stood up, put on the Hokage's divine robe, opened the door, and the sunlight came in, dazzling Shimura Danzo's eyes.

Shimura Danzo raised his hand to shield his eyes, then slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, Uchiha Owl turned back to look at Shimura Danzo and said with a smile, "Danzo, you will always support me, right?"

Danzo Shimura was stunned and looked at Uchiha Xiao. His heart trembled. What was Uchiha Xiao doing... He did not answer immediately. Uchiha Xiao did not seem to be in a hurry. He turned around and walked out.

Shimura Danzo looked at Uchiha Owl's back and fell into deep thought. Thinking of Uchiha Owl's character, he finally sighed and said, "Forget it. Let me, with my old bones, accompany you for a while, Fourth Daime-sama."

Uchiha Xiao appeared in front of everyone wearing the Hokage's divine robe. The villagers who were originally noisy suddenly fell silent, looked at Uchiha Xiao with respect in their eyes, and stepped back one after another.

Although Uchiha Owl is currently only the quasi-Fourth Hokage, he will be the real Fourth Hokage soon. Even those who had secretly slandered Uchiha Owl before are now afraid to move.

This gentleman has killed more than ten thousand enemies and is invincible!

"Good morning, everyone!" Uchiha Xiao smiled warmly and looked at the villagers. The villagers' originally nervous mood was instantly calmed down. "Everlasting Sister Shaman!"

"Always take my sister!"

……

Uchiha Xiao smiled and said, "Everyone, please don't be anxious or excited. I hope everyone will make way for me. There will be a succession ceremony soon and I need to participate."

Upon hearing this, everyone stepped back, making way for a path leading to the succession platform that had been built overnight.

Then Uchiha Owl walked along the path surrounded by villagers, smiling as he moved forward. The Uchiha clan members guarded him, and the Konoha Guard maintained discipline.

However, the various ethnic groups did not have any dissatisfaction, but instead felt that it was as it should be.

The platform was not far from here, and the whole village could watch the ceremony. Uchiha Xiao quickly walked to the bottom of the platform and looked up.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was wearing the Hokage's sacred robe at this moment, which had the Sandaime Hokage engraved on it. Unlike Uchiha Owl, he was also wearing a Hokage hat on his head.

He arrived at the platform early and looked at this scene with endless emotion in his heart. Seeing Uchiha Xiao being surrounded by the people, he thought of his own time back then.

At this moment, a voice rang out, "The Daimyo of the Land of Fire has decreed that Uchiha Owl be appointed as the Fourth Hokage, and that he be given 2 billion silver taels as a gift!"

This is the messenger from the Fire Nation.

This made the villagers gasp. When the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen succeeded to the throne, this incident did not happen. Uchiha Owl reacted.

Tsunade's father married the biological daughter of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, so Tsunade and the Daimyo are relatives, and Uchiha Owl is Tsunade's fiancé, so rounding it off, Uchiha Owl is a relative of the Daimyo.

The Fire Nation Daimyo will fully support and provide supplies to his relatives.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Uchiha Owl will definitely lead Konoha to expand the territory of the Land of Fire and protect its security!" Uchiha Owl's voice was loud so that everyone present could hear it.

The Fire Nation envoy smiled and nodded. "I will definitely report your words to the Daimyo. I hope you will continue to work hard to protect the safety of the Fire Nation!"

"Of course!" Uchiha Xiao smiled, and then the envoy from the Land of Fire was arranged by the Uchiha clan ninjas to the best viewing seat and sat down to watch the ceremony.

Uchiha Owl looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "The succession ceremony begins! Please invite the Fourth Hokage, Uchiha Owl, to the stage for the succession ceremony!"

Uchiha Xiao threw out the Flying Thunder God Kunai, and then in a flash, he appeared on the platform. The ninjas from the big families nodded. The second generation's Flying Thunder God Technique? He was so proficient!

Chapter 228 Undercover Operation

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Uchiha Owl standing next to him, who was a head taller than him, and smiled, "Congratulations."
