Chapter 120 Retreating to Advance

Danzo's accusations have never ended so embarrassingly.

In the end, one of the secret service captains who was present couldn't stand it any longer, so he helped us move up the stairs.

"Regarding the loss of the roots of Elder Danzo's subordinates, after current investigation, we have initially determined that this is most likely caused by Orochimaru. He also released two important Kirigakure prisoners in Konoha Prison last night, and he himself has been since dawn

He has been missing since then and his whereabouts are unknown to this day.”

Before Orochimaru left, he took away his two most important experimental subjects, namely the two captured by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen: Loquat Juzo and Black Hoe Raiga.

Hinata Inaba knew this.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo didn't know.

They exclaimed one after another.

"What?!"

"Orochimaru, he did this?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't realize until this moment that his understanding of this disciple had become so thin in recent years!

Damn it! What else did Orochimaru do? Sarutobi Hiruzen had a vague premonition of something bad.

This uneasiness made him even more eager to sit back in the position he had lost.

So he didn't want to wait any longer, stood up on his own initiative, interrupted the dark force leader's words, and started the next agenda of the meeting.

“Let’s put aside the fundamental matters for now, and what we want to discuss next is the second important item of today’s meeting!

At present, the village has suffered such huge losses and needs to be restored and rebuilt as soon as possible, and Minato has not returned from his trip. We urgently need a new acting Hokage!

Therefore, I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, am willing to come back and take over the position of Hokage temporarily again!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was so anxious that he didn't want to wait any longer.

Danzo Shimura on the side was completely stunned after hearing this.

One second he was glaring at Hinata Inaba with fierce eyes, but the next second, the shock and anger of being betrayed appeared uncontrollably on his face.

Hiruzen, it's you again! Are you deliberately one step ahead of me again?!

Monkey, you deserve to die!!

After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, everyone looked at Hinata Inaba in the field.

Danzo has long been automatically filtered out by everyone.

At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, the only person who can threaten Sarutobi Hiruzen's position as acting Hokage is undoubtedly this young hero who has returned from the King!

The atmosphere suddenly became tense!

Everyone held their breath and watched in silence.

If a conflict breaks out next, it will definitely be the most important battle tonight!

Although Hinata Inaba's soaring prestige in a short period of time is outrageous, in fact, in the conference room at this moment, the support rate between the two parties is still about half to half.

Most of the veteran ninjas like Inogacho will still support Sarutobi. Without him, it's because the bond is too deep.

Because of this, people like the Nara clan leader are undoubtedly the most nervous at this moment, and they don't dare to blink.

I was afraid that if I lowered my head to pick something up, the roof would fly off my head.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations - Hinata Inaba kept a gentle smile and accepted it calmly.

"I agree, Sarutobi-senpai has rich experience, and it is reasonable for him to regain the position of Hokage."

Just when everyone was confused, Hinata Inaba changed the subject, "But since Elder Sarutobi has returned to the position of Hokage, shouldn't someone fill the vacant elder position?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart skipped a beat, knowing that this kid wouldn't let go so easily!

"I was entrusted by Minato-sensei to take care of the new Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, and I am also a former teammate and classmate of the current Three-Tails Jinchuuriki. I think it is reasonable for me to fill the position of an elder, right?"

Hinata Inaba named the relationship between herself, the Hokage, and the two Jinchūriki in the village without revealing a single word!

None of the four old men in the front row dared to say a word.

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

The Jonin below quickly reached a consensus and almost unanimously approved the proposal.

So Hinata Inaba stood up calmly and walked behind the long table at the front of the conference room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen consciously took the throne of Hokage.

So Hinata Inaba calmly sat down on the seat that had just belonged to Sarutobi Hiruzen, under the gnashing teeth of Shimura Danzo next door.

At this point, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately there was no fight.

For most jounin, this result is already the best ending.

At this time, Hinata Inaba's support rate has not yet overwhelmingly defeated Sarutobi Hiruzen, so most people still hope that they will not fight without fighting.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that tonight's biggest test had passed.

He even laughed secretly, thinking that he had won a victory.

Little do they know that all gifts have secretly marked prices.

Hinata Inaba used retreat to advance with one move, instantly winning the favor of most neutrals present and even Sarutobi's supporters.

And then, just when Sarutobi Hiruzen thought he had regained his lost position, he was about to start the next topic in high spirits.

"Okay, then let me, the acting Hokage, talk about the next phase of the village's reconstruction plan. First of all -"

As a result, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a crisp shout.

"Wait!"

The new Uchiha clan leader Nanabao Yu stood up at this time.

Many jounin cast doubtful eyes on her at this moment.

First of all, the previous Uchiha chief, Fugaku, usually didn't speak at such meetings. Everyone was used to the silent Uchiha.

Secondly, this was the first time for many people to see this extremely young and unfamiliar face.

What did she want to say?

Qixuanyu's youth made the jounin subconsciously feel a little contemptuous.

But the next moment, this young girl quickly taught everyone what it means to be sharp and what it means to be ruthless!

"Just now we just reported the losses on the Night of Nine Tails. With such a huge turmoil, does it mean that just by reporting the losses, it will be dismissed lightly?

Shouldn't we seriously reflect on the cause of the incident and discuss who should bear the primary responsibility for this incident?"

hiss--

After Uchiha Qixuanyu said one sentence, most of the Jonin in the audience couldn't help but take a breath!

This...is this newly appointed Uchiha clan leader so brave?!

This is the rhythm of facing Ninjutsu right in the middle!

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been secretly chuckling just now, suddenly changed his expression when he heard this.

The uneasiness that had just been suppressed in his heart suddenly came up again with a roar of madness!

And Uchiha Nanayu did not disappoint him. He was full of firepower from the moment he came up, pointing the finger at himself who had just sat back as the Hokage for a few seconds.

"First of all, the leak of the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki's delivery time is the most direct cause of last night's accident!

During Kushina's delivery, all the ANBU guarding the delivery room were not arranged by Minato-sensei himself!

Then I would like to ask, should this person who assigned and arranged ANBU guards for the Jinchuuriki delivery room at the last moment bear the brunt of all the losses last night?!"

hiss----

An even denser and louder sound of air-conditioning erupted in the conference room after Uchiha Qixuanyu finished speaking.

All jounin who participated in the meeting collectively made their own contribution to the warming of the ninja world at this moment...

Their eyes widened, their expressions were shocked, their backs straightened involuntarily, and their chins tilted back in unison.

I thought the war tonight had been eliminated...

But I didn’t expect it to explode in another form!

Hinata Inaba used retreat to advance, but Sarutobi Hiruzen was defenseless!

Soon Sarutobi Hiruzen will realize that sometimes the position of Hokage may not be a treasure, but a trap!

Because if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!
Chapter completed!
