Chapter 275 The three old men were furious, the Book of Sealing
"Remove us from our advisory positions? Godai, isn't this a bit too hasty of you??" With a bang, Koharu Utatane stood up with a gloomy face, glaring angrily.
It's impossible that they would dismiss them from their posts without prior consultation!
She absolutely disagrees with this!!
“You’re right, Fifth Generation, you’re still young. Governing a village isn’t as simple as you think. Even if we’re older, we should at least let us transition for a few years so we can still contribute our remaining energy before making a decision…”
Mitomon En then got up and tried to smooth things over, attempting to buy time by retreating.
In short, the key is to reject this appointment today!
"Fifth Hokage, as the one who inherited Sarutobi's dying wish, isn't it going too far to deny the advisors and elders he left you right from the start? I hope you will rescind your order regarding this matter."
"Tsunade and Jiraiya have been away from the village for too long and don't know much about the situation there, so they're not suitable to be the new Hokage advisors." Danzo, after much deliberation, finally resorted to moral blackmail. He couldn't let Kakashi act recklessly at this point.
If he were to remove these two old buddies from power, he would face a new political group that would be even more troublesome than the three generations of his predecessors.
"Not suitable?" Faced with the three's aggressive and united stance, Tsunade snorted coldly and took two steps forward with Jiraiya, standing to the left and right of Kakashi.
"The three of you seem to have forgotten that the current Hokage is not Sarutobi-sensei, but the Fifth Hokage, Kakashi. Whether it's the Hokage advisor or any other position, he has absolute power to appoint and dismiss personnel."
"So this is a notification, not a bargaining attempt!"
"You can have opinions, but you can only reserve your opinions!" Tsunade said this with great force, showing no intention of continuing to argue with them.
Instantly, Tsunade's merciless rebuke caused Danzo and the other two to turn pale and unpleasant.
What do you mean by "let them only reserve their opinion"? Does that mean nothing they say can change the decision?
"Hehe... Teacher Koharu and Uncle Yan, you've contributed to the village for so many years, it's time for you to go back and rest! With Tsunade and me here, we'll be able to handle anything that happens for the Fifth Hokage." Seeing the sudden change in atmosphere, Jiraiya smiled politely, but his attitude was very clear.
"asshole!!"
Danzo slammed his cane down heavily, about to say something more, when Kakashi suddenly stood up and interrupted him.
"This concludes today's meeting. The personnel appointments, dismissals, and negotiation decisions remain unchanged. This is my first appointment as the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!"
Under the almost cannibalistic gazes of Danzo and his two companions, Kakashi coldly announced with resounding conviction.
After speaking, he nodded to Ishikawa Karin, the Hokage's bodyguard behind him, and got up to leave the meeting room.
His resolute attitude of not looking back allowed the Konoha ninja to see Kakashi's determination and the power behind him for the first time.
With Tsunade and Jiraiya supporting him, the current Fifth Hokage is not the same as the previous Fifth Hokage, Kakashi.
"Shikaku, take me to the Sunagakure envoys. I need to have a final negotiation with them." Seeing Kakashi leave, Tsunade ignored Koharu and the others and told Shikaku to get down to business.
With the information that the Kazekage had died and Gaara, the Jinchuriki, captured, and with Jiraiya and her in charge of Konoha, she couldn't fathom where Sunagakure's courage to start a war came from!
It's worth noting that half of her reputation as a medical genius is built on her status as a nightmare for Sunagakure. In the previous battle against Chiyo's poison techniques, she consistently held the upper hand.
"Yes, Advisor, this way please..." Seeing that the situation was settled, Shikaku immediately responded with a smile and changed his form of address.
On the one hand, it's about expressing one's own attitude, and on the other hand, it's about sending a signal to others to take sides.
The Five Dynasties have already done so much; they can't afford to falter at this crucial moment.
"Well, now that the meeting is over, I'll head back first! Lady Tsunade, Lady Jiraiya..." Hiashi Hyuga, the most powerful clan in Konoha, immediately expressed his opinion and turned to leave.
The title of one of the Three Legendary Sannin is enough to qualify someone to become Hokage, let alone a mere Hokage advisor.
With these two already in power, the Fifth Hokage Kakashi would be completely incompetent if he were to side with the old guard at this point.
It was precisely because of the weakness and incompetence of these guys that his brother ultimately sacrificed himself due to the interests of the clan elders and the village.
Now that there's a chance to change this situation, how could the Japanese team refuse!
"Lord Jiraiya, I have some information to report to you. Please come with me..." Yamanaka Inoichi, the head of the analysis team, acted decisively and immediately found an excuse to pull Jiraiya away.
Now, he represents the mountain tribe!
Seeing that his two old buddies had already sided with the younger generation, Akimichi Choza naturally colluded with them and followed them out.
Seeing this, the others followed suit, and the once bustling conference room was now empty except for Danzo and his two companions, along with a handful of trusted Jonin, who were staring at each other blankly.
Now that things have come to this, how could they not see the choice made by the masses!
Even if they wanted to incite the Jonin to coerce the Fifth Hokage into changing the appointment, they would be powerless to reverse the situation.
"Hmph, this is the result of your choice of Kakashi!" Danzo gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Koharu and En, then got up and left with heavy steps.
This time Kakashi faced two Hokage advisors, but next time it might be him!
Given this level of skill and cunning, he admitted that he had underestimated the Fifth Hokage this time!
"Was this our choice? It was clearly Sarutobi's choice!" Koharu sighed deeply, her face full of resentment, as she looked at Danzo's retreating figure. Mitokado Homura nodded with a bitter smile beside her.
Given the previous situation, it was as if supporting Danzo would make him the Hokage.
Besides, wouldn't Danzo's fate have been the same as theirs if he had become Hokage? No, it might have been even worse!
Thinking of this, the two exchanged a tacit glance and slowly turned to look at the Third Hokage Rock outside the window with complicated expressions.
Perhaps their era ended the moment Sarutobi sacrificed himself...
Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.
"Teacher, you looked so cool today! I believe that after today, Danzo's Root organization will be much more restrained and won't dare to make any moves." Ishikawa took off his mask with a big smile on his face. This was all thanks to him.
Thinking of the bewildered expressions on Konoha F3's faces just now, Ishikawa felt a surge of satisfaction.
If it weren't for the fact that Danzo was still useful because of Rin's situation, he would have advised Kakashi to take advantage of the situation and abolish Root.
“That’s true, but Danzo will definitely not let this go! So Ishikawa, I need you to take control of the second ANBU squad as soon as possible to prepare for monitoring the Root.”
"Is that so?" A glint flashed in Ishikawa's eyes, then he put his mask back on and said solemnly, "Lord Hokage, the Tanuki Squad requests to learn the Book of Sealing."
"The Book of Seals?" Kakashi paused for a moment, then chuckled and nodded in agreement.
He had this idea for a while...
