God's Rebirth

Chapter 988 The Fifth Hokage
Konoha, in the meeting hall, Konoha's senior management is discussing the follow-up matters of the collapse plan.

The Konoha collapse plan event is over, a small part of the Otonin retreated, and after the Sand Ninja and most of the Otonin were completely defeated, all the members except the dead were captured.

Otonin is still easy to deal with. Orochimaru’s Otonin Village is not a big village. No matter how Konoha handles it, it will not cause trouble, but Sand Ninja in the Land of Wind is a big trouble.

Sand Hidden Village, the Land of Wind, has long been an alliance with the Fire Nation. However, since the beginning of the alliance, Sand Hidden Village has a lot of opinions on Konoha.

After the Second Ninja World War, the two countries signed an alliance after the battle between Konoha and Sand Hidden Village.

The third battle of the fuse of the Ninja World War was that Hidden Sand Village in the Country of Wind took the lead in attacking Konoha with the help of the disappearance of the third Kazekage, tearing apart the alliance between the two countries.

The third Ninja World War ended, Sand Hidden Village was defeated, and the alliance was signed again.

Then this time, when Konoha collapsed the plan, Sand Hidden Village and Orochimaru took the initiative to attack Konoha.

If you look through the history of the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire, you will find that Hidden Sand Village has always had great opinions on Konoha as an ally. In other words, they don't want an alliance at all, and they always take the initiative to fight against Konoha.

This was the case during the third Ninja World War, and this is also the case with Konoha’s collapse plan this time. Why does the sand ninja hate Konoha so much? The two countries have been fighting for many years and have deep hatred. If one wants to develop, the Kingdom of Fire is a mountain in front of him.

The country of the wind has a harsh geographical environment, mostly desert areas and sandy weather. In this environment, resources, population, survival pressure, and various reasons lead to the country of the wind having to change, but they want to change, but as an ally, Konoha A stable and obedient ally is needed, and the two countries are destined to be full of contradictions.

Why the Three Kazekages fought against Konoha, why Luo Sha targeted Konoha as soon as he succeeded to the throne, and Konoha’s collapse plan, and why Orochimaru only contacted Sand Village, it was because of the fundamental contradiction between Konoha and Sand. There are contradictions that cannot be resolved without changing the situation.

The Konoha collapse plan is another attempt by Sand Hidden Village to develop out of Konoha's control after recuperating for more than ten years. However, they were cheated by Orochimaru. Orochimaru also sold them all.

The backbone of Shayin Village who came this time was killed, and those who were captured were captured. There was no other way, it was another unconditional surrender, and the unpleasant experience of being forced to sign an alliance under the city.

Konoha also needs to stabilize the situation after going through this incident, and needs the help of a reliable ally, the Kingdom of Wind, who has been subdued so far, so he didn't make any excessive demands.

Therefore, Orochimaru is a real smart person. The Konoha collapse plan he single-handedly planned is to retaliate against Konoha on the surface, but in fact it is to make Konoha's situation more stable.

He has long seen that Sarutobi Hiruzen is no longer suitable to be in charge of Konoha. For the sake of his teacher's first life name (the Japanese people's thinking and three views are different from ours), he planned this plan, let the third generation die in battle to preserve his reputation, and at the same time Solved the fourth Kazekage before the plan started.

The death of the fourth Kazekage signifies that Sand Hidden Village has lost its pillars and backbone. Chiyo and Ebizo are old and have no courage to take risks again. Sand Hidden Village has long been scarce in talent, and the Mesozoic generation after Luo Sha is basically broken .

At least until the next powerful Kazekage rises, Sand Hidden Village no longer dares to betray Konoha at will.After the death of the third generation, Konoha is bound to usher in an era of change. This critical period is actually the most prone to problems, but with Sand Hidden Village as a short-term reliable and firm ally, Konoha is enough to complete the rebirth from the ashes and move towards a new era. .

So to be honest, the Konoha collapse plan designed by Orochimaru is well-intentioned, taking Konoha, Sand Hidden and even other countries into consideration.Konoha collapsed, and after the collapse, it also meant a new life.

The Konoha collapse plan is over, and the entire Konoha Village has suffered a lot of losses. There are collapsed houses and broken walls and eaves everywhere. However, Gu Sheng had planned for a long time, and by the way, he took this opportunity to concentrate the construction area of ​​the village. Adjustment, the process of rebuilding the home went fairly smoothly.

There are construction sites in full swing everywhere in Konoha, and in the meeting hall, Konoha's high-level figures gathered together, consultants Mitomon Yan, Zhuanju Koharu, Jiraiya, and the chiefs of the major ninja clans, The top combat power above the village elite Jonin gathered together.

"Before the third generation leaves, let me take charge of Konoha's overall situation temporarily, but everyone knows that if I am in charge of Konoha, I am afraid that other four kingdoms and even more people will be wary of the Land of Fire..."

While Gu Sheng was speaking, he glanced at everyone, and found that many people were secretly relieved after hearing what he said.

Gu Sheng paused for a moment, and continued to speak: "For some reason, I myself don't have much time to continue serving as Hokage, so... let's gather everyone together today to discuss the candidates for the Fifth Hokage, and I will report when the time comes Complete the alternation for the daimyo."

When Gu Sheng announced this decision, people including Zhuanju Koharu, Mitomon Yan, Hyuga Hizuru and others all looked relaxed, and seemed to be optimistic about this matter.

Gu Sheng served as Hokage, and he was really good to Konoha and even the country of fire, but he was not so happy with the existing power holders in these important positions. He is not the old and frail third generation with a conservative personality. During the period, the rulers of various families suffered a lot in front of Gu Sheng.

The former Nichizuru was indeed a staunch supporter of Komori, but now he is a giant of Konoha, Hinata's patriarch, and he has more issues to consider. At the same time, he is also reluctant to welcome an extremely strong boss who says nothing but weighs on his head.

Not only them, but even the other countries in the ninja world, these people are already undercurrents. Not to mention the country of wind that just signed the covenant, the three countries of thunder, water and earth have actually had secret contact activities, and even biased In one corner, the Land of Rain, the Land of Iron, etc., seem to have also taken action. It is really the ancient prosperity that put too much pressure on the various countries.

Gu Sheng, who was born again during the Three World Wars, suppressed the high-level war situation by himself, and gave everyone an incomparable deterrent.It can be said that if Gu Sheng is here, everything will not be chaotic, including 'Xiao', I'm afraid he would not dare to act rashly, but this situation is not in the interests of Gu Sheng.

What Gu Sheng needs is for everything to be messed up, everything to jump out, and then cut the mess quickly to complete the harvesting of Naruto World in one go.

That's why he made this decision to give up the position of Hokage and disappear again. Because of his previous convictions, everyone probably thought that he would disappear for more than ten years. They confirmed that Gu Sheng was indeed not in Konoha, and they were afraid that everyone could not wait to move.

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, the people below talked a lot, but none of them came out to make a suggestion. This is also the impact of Gu Sheng's direct execution of Danzo that day. If Danzo survived, he would definitely come out on such occasions Make trouble, but this is not in line with Gusheng's goal of smoothly completing the transfer of Konoha's power.

He meant to give up the position of Hokage, but he didn't mean to hand over the power to other people. Only those he approved of were qualified to take this position.

"Master Hokage, I think Mr. Naoki is the best candidate in terms of strength and qualifications."

Hyuga Hyuzu stood up and bowed towards Komori, and recommended the representative of the family ninja, Nakoki. As the grandson of the first generation of Hokage, Nakoki is the best choice in terms of strength and qualifications. Although he is a disciple of Orochimaru, But isn't the one who temporarily replaces Hokage also a disciple of Orochimaru!

And more importantly, Natoki is Tsunade's younger brother. Gu Sheng may object to anyone being Hokage, but Natoki is the least likely to react.

"I think Zilai is also very good!"

Nizuzu recommended Natoki. Gu Sheng hadn’t expressed his opinion yet, but Zhuanzhu Xiaochun stepped up and spoke. The relationship between the family ninjas and the consultants has been very tense in recent years, especially Natoki. To their two consultants and the dead Danzo , I have always had a lot of opinions, if he is really allowed to become Hokage, then the situation of their consultants is probably even worse than Gu Sheng being Hokage.

"Hey, what do you suggest me to do!"

Jiraiya immediately jumped out and was dissatisfied. Among the Sannin, he avoided the position of Hokage the most. After Minato's death, Hiruzaru Sarutobi actually intended him to succeed him. It was precisely because he knew the mind of the third generation that he always Hide outside and travel.

It's the same now, he really doesn't want to get involved in the trouble of the position of Hokage. Orochimaru said that he is innocent, but it doesn't mean that he is a fool. He knows better than anyone that Hokage is not good, so he never shouted when he grew up It's time to be Hokage's catchphrase.

"It's better for Hokage to choose from young people!"

"Even... Master Naoki's strength is no worse than Sannin's!"

……

Under the signal of Nizuzu, the patriarchs of many ninja tribes expressed their opinions one after another. For them, this is a good opportunity to attack the consultants and completely suppress the civilians.

Konoha's power structure is very redundant and complicated. After Hiruzaru Sarutobi came to power, in order to deal with the pressure from all sides, an advisory elders group was formed, consisting of three of his friends, Mitomon Yan, Zenju Koharu and Shimura Dan. The three Tibetans acted as his assistants and worked together with him to manage Konoha.

These three people all have some common characteristics, the students of the second generation Hokage Senju Tomona, the earliest students of the ninja school, and... at that time, the most talented and powerful group of people in the second generation of Konoha.

The combination of these four people grew up during the First World War, successfully took over the power from the first generation of older ninjas who established Konoha, and then... Konoha began to fall into decades of silent internal friction.

Because they are the first batch of members of the ninja school, they naturally maintain the ninja school system, that is, the backing and supporters of civilian ninjas on the surface, and they should be reformists.

But these few people are actually more conservative than most family ninjas, because they themselves were born as family ninjas, and their respective families have also developed rapidly because of their rise.

Konoha's internal system is actually divided into two columns, family ninjas and civilian ninjas. Although they all enter the ninja school to study, in fact, the civilian ninjas who really rise from the ninja school and grow into strong men are really quite limited. All of them are of family background, which involves many reasons.

But... One of the most obvious conflicts is the confrontation between civilian ninjas and family ninjas. This aspect has appeared since the establishment of the ninja school, but it has not been resolved for decades.

The second generation single-handedly established the ninja school, but before it could solve the problem, it was attacked by Jinjiao Yinkaku and finally fell, and the third generation that followed for decades, because of the lack of prestige at the beginning, the follow-up tended to be conservative, resulting in Konoha. There has been no major development in the past ten years, but it has fallen into a vicious circle of constant internal friction.

The root cause is the backwardness of the consultant system, the incomplete reform, and the confrontation between the common people and the family. In fact, it is the result of the intervention of the upper class. The three generations and the consultants have no ability and do not want to solve it, even if they know that it will cause Konoha Internal friction, but they would rather not let go of power.

And when the three generations and Danzo related to this incident died one after another, and if Zhuanju Xiaoharu and Mitomenyan fell again, then Konoha would go to another extreme, the ninja controlled everything, and the civilians were just cannon fodder, then the ninja school It will be useless, and finally Konoha will decline.

Gu Sheng could see clearly that Rizu might be a successful patriarch, but he would not be a suitable advisor or even a shadow, because his structure was too small.

The third generation, Danzo, and consultants control power, and the repeated suppression even leads to internal friction in Konoha, but at least they have preserved a framework maintained by the second generation that is still intact. The thinking of the second generation is not wrong. If Konoha wants to Really rising, the power of civilian ninjas cannot be ignored.

The overall quality of civilian ninjas may indeed be inferior to family ninjas, but the geniuses among them, such as Maitkai, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, etc., have an upper limit above most of the family ninjas.

A benign balance between civilian geniuses and family ninjas is the true king of Konoha's development. It is actually a big mistake to condone and even intensify the contradiction between the two like the three generations.

Gu Sheng turned his head to look at Naoshu, he had to know what Naoshu was thinking, "Shinoki, have you thought about how to control the development of Konoha after succeeding Hokage!"

"I~~~"

Shengshu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, Hokage, this was the ideal he had dreamed of, but as he grew up, he understood more, became less naive, and became more aware of the importance of this position. Heavy, now facing Gu Sheng's inquiry, he doesn't know what to say!
How should he develop Konoha, has he thought about this issue, no, he has always just wanted to be Hokage, and he thinks Hokage is the most powerful, that's all!
"alright, I got it."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and he stood up and announced: "I propose Tsunade to take over as the candidate for the Fifth Hokage, everyone agrees!"
