Hokage Building.
Shrouded in the depths of the night, this place was filled with an aura of decay.
Jiraiya walked in dejectedly, took a deep look at the Hokage's office, and knocked on the door after a long silence.
After receiving permission, he walked in.
The aged Sarutobi Hiruzen was draped in the Hokage robe, wearing the bamboo hat representing the Hokage. He just glanced at Jiraiya indifferently, and without asking anything, he issued a decision directly.
"Jiraiya, it seems you failed!"
"Then there's no need for extra words. Prepare to become the Fifth Hokage in the next few days."
"You don't need to worry about other things."
"Koharu will be back tomorrow morning, and the Jonin Council will be held tomorrow afternoon."
"The day after tomorrow morning, the Hokage inauguration ceremony!"
"Rest well tonight; I also have to go back and make arrangements."
After speaking.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up directly, not even bothering to pay attention to Jiraiya, and left the Hokage Building just like that.
Yes!
There was no need to ask Jiraiya at all. Just from the decadent expression on his face, Sarutobi Hiruzen understood the result instantly.
He was really busy now!
Because there wasn't much time left for him, he didn't have time to comfort Jiraiya. He had to send Jiraiya to the throne of the Fifth Hokage directly before the Uchiha continued to exert force.
Only by settling this matter and stabilizing the village could he free up his hands to confront the Uchiha.
So.
Even though he saw Jiraiya's unsettled mood, he had no intention of paying attention to Jiraiya.
As for Jiraiya not accepting? Then taking the opportunity to leave Konoha?
Hehe, he wasn't afraid!
Jiraiya was someone Sarutobi Hiruzen watched grow up, so he knew Jiraiya's character very well. With his evasive personality, when encountering things, he would only think about hiding. If he couldn't hide, he would choose to obediently listen to others' commands.
In fact, it was true.
Looking at the resolute Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya was stunned on the spot.
He tried to open his mouth to say something, but until Sarutobi Hiruzen left, he still couldn't say a word.
Refuse?
He couldn't say these words!
Although he also admitted that what Tsunade said made some sense, he still wasn't willing to believe that the Uchiha could be a good Hokage.
Perhaps Uchiha Jin's words were right; the prejudice in people's hearts is a big mountain, and no matter how hard you try, you can't move it.
In short...
He just didn't trust the Uchiha!
Even if the Uchiha were really wronged, he was willing to make up for it in other ways, but he absolutely didn't want to let the Uchiha become Hokage.
So, sigh!
After a helpless sigh, he left the Hokage Building.
There was no helping it.
Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen, he really couldn't refuse.
And most importantly, given the current situation in Konoha, there was indeed no one suitable to become Hokage.
Couldn't let Danzo do it, right?
That guy was willing!
However.
Just thinking of this possibility, he couldn't help but shiver.
...
The next day, 10:00 AM.
In the large reception hall of Uchiha Jin's home, the clan heads and elites of various ninja clans were all present, and Uchiha Jin still sat high in the seat of honor.
After everyone arrived, Uchiha Jin spoke first.
"Everyone present must have known."
"Utatane Koharu has obtained the authorization from the Daimyo, and the Hokage's office has also issued a notice."
"Sarutobi Hiruzen is preparing to abdicate and nominate Jiraiya as the Fifth Hokage, and he has also obtained the Daimyo's consent. The Jonin Council is scheduled to be held this afternoon."
"My opinion is—don't participate!"
"Let them play by themselves; our goal remains unchanged."
"Continue to spread rumors and shake their ruling foundation."
"Then on the day Jiraiya becomes Hokage, enter the Uchiha clan grounds at the edge of the village directly, and then announce to the outside world that we are going to create a new Konoha."
"Shikakui, Fugaku."
"You two make a trip to the Daimyo's mansion for me; I need official authorization from the Daimyo's mansion."
"How to deal with the Daimyo, Shikakui, I trust you!"
"Fugaku, you take five elite Jonin squads with you; you need to be responsible for protecting Nara Shikakui's safety."
Uchiha Jin's face was calm.
He didn't mean to discuss with everyone at all, but directly issued his decision. The so-called meeting was just to notify everyone.
Just as he said before, the meeting that really needed discussion had already been settled by a few core members in a small meeting two hours ago.
Now it was just going through the motions to inform everyone of the decision.
As for—the Daimyo?
Of course, he looked at that guy with displeasure, but he knew even better that one must eat rice mouthful by mouthful; eating too much at once could easily choke a person to death.
So.
At present, he had no interest in breaking the rules of the ninja world. Now his goal was only to completely control Konoha.
Before that, everything as usual!
Although Nara Shikakui was helpless, he still made a request: "I have no problem here, but I apply to let Shikaku go with me."
"Okay, you two discuss it yourselves." Uchiha Jin nodded.
Although according to the normal process, Shikaku and others should hide behind the scenes.
After all, they had defected for a short time, but considering the weird rules of the Nara clan, there was a high probability that Nara Shikaku wanted to rest at home properly.
So, forget it.
Since Nara Shikakui mentioned it, let the two discuss it.
In response to this.
Nara Shikaku was full of displeasure, but finally sighed softly.
Of course, he dared not have an opinion on this, and he was relatively familiar with the Daimyo, so although it was troublesome, he would make the trip.
Twenty minutes later.
This meeting ended successfully, but Tsunade did not leave, but followed Uchiha Jin to the small conference room.
"Hey, Uchiha Jin!"
"What is the meaning of this so-called meeting? Isn't this clearly a dictatorship?"
Tsunade didn't give any face and immediately raised her objection.
Yes!
Although she admitted that Uchiha Jin was good in all aspects, the Uchiha's extremism problem must be corrected; otherwise, she was really afraid that Jiraiya's worries would become reality.
Since she had joined the Uchiha camp, she had to solve all problems at the beginning.
To be honest.
When she first attended the meeting, she was very curious about the situation of the Uchiha meeting, but after really attending a meeting today, her heart was completely numb.
Good heavens!
Is that a so-called meeting?
It was simply Uchiha Jin talking, without asking for everyone's opinion at all, okay?
Regarding this point, she absolutely did not agree!
After all, Konoha was the painstaking effort of her two grandfathers, especially since she had already joined the Uchiha camp, so she absolutely would not allow Uchiha Jin in front of her to mess around.
In response to this.
Uchiha Jin's face was calm. After simply pouring a cup of tea for Tsunade, he said in a very calm tone.
"Tsunade, you think too much."
"The meeting to truly decide how to act was already decided in the small meeting two hours ago."
"The large meeting is to notify everyone of the decision, so that everyone knows what to do next."
"And haven't you noticed?"
"Didn't all the ninja clans present have any doubts about this?"
"Everyone reached a consensus on this decision in the small meeting two hours ago."
"It's just that you are not qualified to participate in the small meeting yet!"
