Chapter 681 Muyue Hokage!
Except for Mu Yue, all the Konoha ninjas who attended the meeting recommended Mu Yue.
And Mu Yue was not Danzo Shimura, so of course it was impossible for him to recommend himself, so he just watched quietly.
"Hanyu Mozuki..." The daimyo subconsciously looked at Muyue sitting next to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He knew Mu Yue. Firstly, Mu Yue was famous after experiencing several major battles. Secondly, Mu Yue once escorted him to watch the Youth Martial Arts Festival in the Kingdom of Rain.
"Hanyu Mugetsu is indeed a very good choice. He has a lot to contribute to the Fire Nation's victory in the Third Ninja War." A somewhat wealthy high-ranking Fire Nation official said.
"Yes, and Hanyu Mozuki is still a Wooden ninja, and can use the first-generation Hokage's special ninjutsu." A senior official of the Fire Nation with a long beard also expressed his approval.
When the Hokage election is held, they will generally only support and not oppose the candidates proposed by Konoha.
If Konoha recommends multiple people at the same time, it will be decided by Konoha through discussion.
Snap.
Seeing that no one raised any objections, the daimyo closed his fan and tapped his palms:
"Since Hanyu Mozuki has great military achievements and is the inheritor of the first generation Hokage's ninjutsu, then Hanyu Mozuki should be the fourth generation Hokage."
At this point, the election of the Fourth Hokage is over, and the candidate for Hokage is completely determined.
"Thank you for your recognition." Mu Yue thanked him politely.
Bang bang bang!
The officials, Hiruzen Sarutobi and others applauded to celebrate the birth of the Fourth Hokage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Mu Yue while applauding, and exhaled slightly, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.
He was not greedy for the power of the Hokage, but Hiruzen Sarutobi still felt something different when he thought that he would soon not be able to stand in front of the glass window of the Hokage's office and look down at Konoha.
For Hiruzen Sarutobi, Konoha was not just a powerful ninja force, not just the place where he grew up, it was the ninja village he was appointed to lead in times of crisis.
It was really difficult for Hiruzen Sarutobi at that time. Even with Senju Tobirama's last words, it still took a lot of effort for Hiruzen Sarutobi to become the Hokage.
In this process, companions such as Shimura Danzo and Mito Kadenen, as well as his family, all contributed a lot, so Sarutobi Hiruzen was very grateful to them.
After securing the position of Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly began to integrate his forces to participate in the war, driving all the forces attacking Konoha out of the Land of Fire and launching a counterattack.
Gradually the situation stabilized and Konoha became stronger. Countless Konoha residents thanked him for his contribution to Konoha. Many Konoha ninjas regarded him as an idol and regarded the position of Hokage as their life goal.
He created a new era of Konoha belonging to the Sandaime Hokage.
How difficult it is, how much Sarutobi Hiruzen loves Konoha, this is the village he brought up with all his heart and soul.
If the succession to the throne had been smoother, Sarutobi Hiruzen's feelings for Konoha might not have been that deep.
"Our era is coming to an end." Mito Kadoyan sighed softly when he saw this scene and thought to himself.
It was okay when he first became Hokage. After becoming Hokage for a period of time, Mu Yue was bound to build a team with himself as the core, just like when Sarutobi Hiruzen appointed him, Koharu, and Shimura Danzo.
At that time, the best choice for these old guys is to abdicate obediently and leave themselves with the last dignity.
After all, Mu Yue is no better than others. Although she is younger, she is not someone who can be easily manipulated.
Mito Menyan is reluctant to give up the power of advisor, but he is not ready to fight Mu Yue when the time comes.
It is true that he worked hard for the development of Konoha, but in the process he also obtained some personal gains for himself.
Mito Kadoyan didn't want to get a good reputation when he got old, so he just retired. After being a high-level executive for so long, he had achieved something in his life.
"Probably, this is the best result." Namikaze Minato clapped vigorously and thought with a slight smile.
As a ninja who aspires to become Hokage, and has personally witnessed Mozuki's step-by-step progression from ninja teacher to Hokage, Namikaze Minato would definitely be lying if he said that he had never felt disappointed.
This is his lifelong dream. No matter who is competing with him, Namikaze Minato will try his best to compete.
But the gap between him and Mu Yue was too big, so big that he couldn't even become Mu Yue's competitor.
The most embarrassing thing is that Mu Yue is now very proficient in using the flying thunder god technique that Namikaze Minato has mastered, and their appearance is also relatively similar, which makes Mu Yue feel like a super Namikaze Minato.
Namikaze Minato has some Mugetsu, and Namikaze Minato has some Mugetsu who doesn't know how to do it.
How can this compare?
It was precisely because of this huge gap that Namikaze Minato was relieved very quickly. He loved Konoha, not Konoha where he served as Hokage, so Namikaze Minato didn't actually care that much about who became Hokage.
When the applause stopped, the daimyo announced that the meeting was officially over.
"Sandaime, is that news true or false?" The daimyo was still curious about the rumor and asked in a low voice.
"It's true." Sarutobi Hiruzen replied.
"It's not a rumor. That Soyousuke is so strong." The daimyo opened his fan and covered his surprised face.
He didn't expect that there could be such a powerful ninja in the Land of Rain.
"No need to worry, it's just that I lost. Our fourth generation will not lose to any ninja, even the first generation." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with confidence.
Although in the eyes of many people, being the second god of ninja is the highest praise for Mu Yue, Sarutobi Hiruzen knows that Mu Yue not only has the potential to become the second Senju Hashirama, but may even surpass Senju Hashirama. .
No one would believe him if he said it. When Senju Hashirama was the same age group as Mu Yue, his strength was actually not as strong as Mu Yue's.
In the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mu Yue is a bit like a combination of their first to third generations of Hokage.
Mu Yue has all of these, including the first-generation goal's ability to escape from the heaven-defying wood, the second-generation goal's ninjutsu development, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's ninjutsu talent.
The daimyo was a little surprised. He didn't expect Hiruzen Sarutobi to bring out Senju Hashirama for comparison.
Because he is the founder of Konoha, coupled with his extremely terrifying strength, Senju Hashirama has a transcendent status in Konoha. Even though the second generation Hokage and the third generation Hokage are quite recognized, no one has ever said that he can be compared to the first generation.
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news." The daimyo said with a smile.
He has a mutually beneficial relationship with Konoha. If Konoha is stronger, it will be better for the Fire Nation.
"Congratulations Muzuki, I will have to call you Yondaime-sama before long." Minato Namikaze walked beside Muzuki and smiled.
Muyue has only confirmed the position of the Fourth Hokage now, and will not truly become the Hokage until the Hokage's succession ceremony is carried out.
"It's not necessary, Yondaime-sama. In fact, I think you are more suitable to become Hokage than me." Mu Yue shook her head.
If the Hokage could get out, he really wanted to give it to Minato Namikaze.
The reality is that Mugetsu can't give in. If he really forces Minato Namikaze to become Hokage, it will only cause a lot of conspiracy theories and opposition voices to pop up in the village, which will actually harm Minato Namikaze.
Mu Yue's various conditions can kill even Orochimaru, let alone Namikaze Minato.
Due to Mugetsu's influence, Namikaze Minato's military exploits were much worse than those in the original work, and even being nominated might be criticized.
"Your illusion, Muyue, I'm very happy that you recognize my ability, but if you can't even become Hokage, it will be even harder for me." Namikaze Minato said seriously.
After the high-level meeting, Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned Namikaze Minato and told Namikaze Minato that Mu Yue wanted to nominate him to become the fourth generation Hokage. Namikaze Minato was touched by Mu Yue's trust in him, but in terms of ability, he was indeed not as good as Mu Yue.
"Now that you have become Hokage, Mu Yue, you must face yourself seriously and not be too modest. So many people voted for you, which shows that everyone trusts your ability."
Seeing Bo Feng Shuimen's serious lecture, Mu Yue could only nod her head and said yes.
It can only be said that people's joys and sorrows are not the same.
Compared to Hokage's affairs, Mu Yue has other things that are more meaningful to him to do.
Mu Yue once again thanked Qian Shu Tobijian in her heart.
Shadow clones are really easy to use, especially those with Yang Seal.
The teaching effect of the shadow clone is not as good as that of the main body, but it is enough to handle Konoha's political affairs.
Half an hour after the meeting ended, Sarutobi Hiruzen announced that Mu Yue was confirmed as the Fourth Hokage, and the succession ceremony was held a week later.
After all, the Hokage is the supreme leader of Konoha. He is not just like the teacher at the ninja school who can just change him. He has many things to deal with.
In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already been making preparations after he decided to succeed, otherwise this week would not be enough.
The news that Mu Yue was about to serve as the Fourth Hokage spread quickly throughout Konoha.
"As expected, Mu Yue is assisting as Hokage."
"Although Lord Orochimaru is also good, I still think that Mu Yue can better lead Konoha to prosperity with his assistance."
"Assistant Mu Yue, he is our beloved Yondaime-sama!"
"What are you doing, gathering together and making noise." The Uchiha ninja who was patrolling the streets of Konoha saw someone gathering around and making noise, and stepped forward to scold them.
The crowd fell silent instantly. After all, these were members of the Uchiha Police Department, and they really had the right to lock people in.
"Sir, we heard that Assistant Muyue was about to succeed as Hokage, so we were happy and couldn't help but speak louder." One person bravely explained.
"Assistant Mu Yue is going to take over?!" The leading Uchiha jounin showed a surprised expression.
Their new era of Uchiha was finally coming.
Thinking of this, the Uchiha Jonin suddenly felt much better, and seeing the crowd surrounding him was no longer so annoying.
"Keep your voice down, don't disturb other people." The Uchiha jounin simply said and left with the others.
The people showed unexpected expressions. Some of them were mentally prepared to be imprisoned for several hours by these Uchiha for any reason.
It's not that they are unfounded, but there are so many similar rumors.
There is a legend that as long as the Uchiha are in a bad mood, even if a passerby accidentally drops his belongings on the ground, they can use the excuse of destroying Konoha's environment to arrest the passerby and squat him there for a few days.
There are also rumors that the Uchiha look down on everyone outside the Uchiha clan, no matter young or old. If you don't set up a stall according to the rules, even if you are an old man, your stall will be destroyed.
However, many elders in Konoha objected to this rumor, saying that all Uchiha cannot be generalized, and there are also good Uchiha who do not serve in the police department.
In short, there are many rumors about Uchiha in Konoha, but most of them are notorious.
"Maybe they are in a good mood today." The people thought in their hearts.
The land of the Hyuga clan.
"What a pity. In recent years, the ninjas in the family have only been mediocre, and no one can catch the eyes of Assistant Mu Yue." Hinata Hizu sighed.
They are also members of a restricted family with pupil skills, and also have many jounin. The Hyuga clan has always regarded Uchiha as their opponent.
Mu Yue, who is about to become Hokage, has two disciples of the Uchiha clan but no Hyuuga disciples. This is undoubtedly very disadvantageous for them.
In the past, Hyuga and Hinata had never worried about the status of the Hyuga clan in Konoha.
Because the Byakugan has such great strategic significance, the Byakugan's powerful long-distance observation ability is unmatched by the Sharingan.
It's different now. The secret technique of seeing, hearing, and color developed by Mu Yue is far more powerful than ordinary perception ninjutsu, and can even be of great help in combat.
The emergence of the Secret Technique of Wisdom and Sex will not directly put the Hyuga clan out of work, but it is certainly not as important as before.
"I hope some more outstanding children will be born next."
Hinata and Hinata prayed in their hearts, he didn't want the Hyuga clan to be left alone in his hands.
Families with ties to Mu Yue are excited for Mu Yue to succeed as Hokage, while some families that have nothing to do with Mu Yue are a little worried about the future.
…
Although Orochimaru was Mu Yue's rival, he didn't know about Mu Yue's succession until night.
During the day, he had been studying Hashirama cells in the training team's laboratory. Even if someone wanted to notify him, they didn't know where he was.
It was Mu Yue who invited him to have dinner together that he heard about it.
"Congratulations, Muyue-kun." Orochimaru said with a faint smile.
He had already lied down, and he had no thoughts of competing with Mu Yue for Hokage, otherwise he wouldn't have been sitting in the laboratory without taking action.
Orochimaru knew that he couldn't fight, so he might as well use this opportunity to let Mu Yue see his sincerity.
"The Hokage election was really good." Tsunade looked at the sumptuous food on the table and nodded with satisfaction.
Yes, this was a celebration proposed by Tsunade to celebrate Mozuki's succession to the throne of Hokage.
She had already thought about it, and she could celebrate again when Mu Yue truly became Hokage.
After Mu Yue becomes Hokage for a week, you can celebrate the one-day anniversary of becoming Hokage.
"One day is too much, at least it's the first anniversary." Shizune couldn't help complaining.
Only then did Tsunade realize that she had subconsciously spoken out her thoughts.
"You heard wrong, I was talking about the first anniversary." Tsunade rubbed Shizune's face.
Zhou Tianmuyue will most likely not agree.
"It's just a week, I heard it too." Obito stood up and said.
"Huh?" Tsunade raised her fist.
"Well, if you think about it, it seems like it's the first anniversary." Obito stepped back.
It's not that he doesn't care about the friendship between classmates, it's that Tsunade really doesn't care about age when she hits people.
