Chapter 55
Before the conference room exploded, Uzumaki Mito continued:
"Sarutobi Hiruzen performed the Shiki Fuujin, which is a ninjutsu that kills both parties. I couldn't hold back."
Although everyone present had some guesses, and Uzumaki Mito also explained.
But when they really heard about the death of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, they couldn't help but show a horrified expression.
Especially Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu.
After Uzumaki Mito finished speaking, they no longer cared about their status as consultants.
They ran to Sarutobi Hiruzen and looked at him sadly.
They didn't expect that their best friend who had gone through difficulties with them would fall in the position of Hokage.
The first generation of ninja heroes ended before it even began.
But they couldn't blame Uzumaki Mito.
Not to mention that their status was not enough, just look at the situation just now.
Sarutobi Hiruzen released ninjutsu in public and tried to attack Uchiha Seiryu.
Uzumaki Mito's behavior of stopping him was legitimate defense, reasonable and legal.
Not to mention, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also a participant in the kidnapping of the child.
Utatane Koharu opened her mouth to say something, but Mito Kadokawa shook her head at her.
He turned around, looked at Uzumaki Mito and said:
"Mito-sama, since the chief criminal Sarutobi Hiruzen has been executed, let us deal with his body."
Uzumaki Mito naturally agreed to this request.
When a person dies, it is like a light going out. No matter how great the sin is, after a person dies, he will follow him into the underworld.
It will only leave a bad reputation for thousands of years.
After seeing Uzumaki Mito agree, the two of them hugged Sarutobi Hiruzen's body and left silently under the gaze of everyone.
They didn't want to watch this meeting anymore.
Danzo was also their friend, and he would not be able to escape death next.
The death of a close friend had already made them very sad, and they couldn't watch Danzo die here with their own eyes.
But they couldn't change the ending, so they chose to escape.
After they left, Uzumaki Mito sighed again. This was the nth time she sighed today.
The Hokage was originally there to protect the village, but now he has been turned into a person who hurts the village by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
This made Uzumaki Mito understand that only a good leader can drive the development of the village.
Thinking of this, she looked at Uchiha Seiryu.
'Will he be the captain of the new era? Can he take the village further? '
'Forget it, there is enough time to give me an answer to this question. '
Uzumaki Mito looked at Danzo, the source of all evil.
She looked at everyone and continued to preside over the meeting.
"For the treatment of Shimura Danzo, let's vote according to the previous rules."
After that, she signaled the people next to her to vote.
Although the people present were shocked by Sarutobi Hiruzen's sudden death.
But when they heard that they had to vote to decide on the treatment of Danzo, they all participated one by one.
After all, no one wants to go on a mission and come back home with a child gone.
This is an act that violates the bottom line and is an unforgivable sin.
After a while, the voting ended.
With the completion of the statistics, the vote to execute Danzo was passed with 100%.
Uzumaki Mito was not surprised by this result. She looked at Uchiha Ang and said:
"Leave it to you."
Uchiha Ang nodded gratefully, then grinned and walked out of the meeting room with Danzo.
In the process of arresting Danzo, even their clan leader was seriously injured.
Now that they can kill Danzo, it can be regarded as revenge for them.
With the end of the trial of the two chief criminals, the meeting was not over.
Now that the Hokage has been lost, Konoha urgently needs a new leader.
Everyone is discussing this matter, and as time goes by, most people look at Uzumaki Mito.
As the wife of the first generation and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Mito also has a high prestige in the village, not to mention her strength.
Just a few small mistakes just now can show that she is stronger than the third generation.
So no matter from which aspect, she is suitable to inherit this position.
Although Uzumaki Mito doesn't really want to be Hokage in her heart.
But in front of the village, her own thoughts are not so important.
The feeling of shouldering a heavy burden is that a thousand people are all looking forward to every word you say.
Looking at the expectant eyes of these people, Uzumaki Mito knew that she had to take up this burden.
She slowly walked to the middle and said loudly:
"Konoha now needs a new Hokage to lead Konoha to move forward!"
"Let me start, I propose myself."
These jonin originally wanted Uzumaki Mito to stand up and take on this important task.
So after Uzumaki Mito finished speaking, they all nodded in agreement.
Although some ninja clans also want to compete for the position of Hokage, such as the Hyuga clan.
They believe that although they cannot call themselves the first ninja clan in Konoha, they are still very strong.
But looking at Uzumaki Mito on the stage, they still extinguished their little thoughts.
Becoming Hokage does have many benefits, but if there is a situation that harms Konoha, the person may be gone.
Judging from Uzumaki Mito's performance today, there is no mercy at all.
And judging from the current situation in the meeting room, Uzumaki Mito is the one that everyone expects.
Uzumaki Mito waited for a long time, but no one came out to run for the election.
She stood there, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Perhaps, she remembered Senju Hashirama.
After a long while, when the people below were talking about it, Uzumaki Mito came back to his senses and said:
"In this case, I will lead you all forward!"
"Nara Shikaku, please inform the daimyo and tell him that Konoha's Third Hokage unfortunately died of illness. Now I will temporarily take over the position of Hokage."
After hearing Uzumaki Mito's words, a man with a pineapple head and a vest stood up.
"Yes, Lord Mito."
After saying that, Nara Shikaku muttered "It's troublesome", which attracted the people around him to look at him frequently.
Uzumaki Mito ignored him. The people of the Nara clan all have this character.
Although they said it was troublesome, they did things very well.
In name, the Hokage still needs to be selected by the daimyo.
But now the Third Hokage's affairs are developing too fast, and Konoha has almost selected the next generation at the same time.
This will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the daimyo.
Although the candidate is Uzumaki Mito, which will reduce this dissatisfaction to the extreme, it still needs a smart person to deal with it.
So Uzumaki Mito is relieved to hand over this difficult task to Nara.
After dealing with the matter on the daimyo's side, she continued:
"In order to ensure the stability of Konoha, the matter of the Third Hokage should not be disclosed for the time being, and we should unify the caliber in the future and say that he died of illness."
"Wait until the matter on the daimyo's side is confirmed, and then announce it to the villagers."
"That's it for today, adjourn the meeting."
All the things have been completed, and the meeting is finally over.
Sometimes, the ship of the old era can also carry the future.
