Hinata smiled slightly, she didn't mind Lin's move, because no matter which aspect it looked like, this was a manifestation of the root ninja leader's obedience to the new rules, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to give him some hair as a reward, not to mention, If she guessed correctly, she must be familiar with the choice.

"Then I have something straight to say. I propose the candidate: Kakashi Hatake, a disciple of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Shuito, now the elite jounin of Konoha Village, and the instructor jounin of the seventh team."

Sure enough, Lin's tone was clear and calm, and from the series of titles she gave, it was not difficult to see her confidence in Kakashi. Moreover, there is also a hint of irony towards Hinata. Hinata is a student in Class 7. If she opposes her teacher Kakashi, she will feel a little embarrassed no matter how she looks at it.

Although strictly speaking, the choice of Hokage is decided by the daimyo of the Land of Fire, but now everyone seems to be deliberately ignoring this point. After all, as long as the unofficial candidate is reported to the daimyo, it won't affect anything.

"Well, Kakashi Hatake is my teacher, and I have no doubts about his character and ability. However, because of this, I hope to add an equally qualified Sixth Generation candidate as my opponent. , how about it? Elder Lin, do you agree with my addition?"

Narrowing her eyes slightly, Hinata's tone was particularly relaxed, which made Lin grit her teeth immediately, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she nodded: "Of course...if there are other suitable candidates, there is no reason to abandon them."

Such an answer made Hinata cover her mouth and chuckle. Obviously, Lin also knew that it was now a new rule to win people's hearts. If she dared to reject this proposal, it would be clear that she would still play the old-style dictatorship, which would be detrimental to her. It is undoubtedly unnecessary trouble to achieve the suggestion.

"Very good, then let me tell you. I propose the candidate: Sarutobi, the son of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, the current leader of the Sarutobi clan, one of the twelve guardians of the Fire Country, and the instructor of the tenth class, Sarutobi. Asma.”

"Tomorrow, the voting for the two Hokage candidates will be officially held here. Whichever party gets the most votes will take over as the Sixth Hokage!"

(PS1: Huh~~ The new system has been introduced. After all, I am not a political major. There must be loopholes. Everyone can just understand it casually~~)

(PS2: Persistence...daily updates...)

Candidate preparation

The death of two ruling elders and the drastic changes in the political system. Such a violent political earthquake did not seem to have any impact on the civilians of Konoha Village. After it was determined that the alert state was lifted, the entire village returned to its previous stability. In the order of the night market, the lights and sounds of people in the night market also came to life again.

"Really? What Konoha cares about now is not the tradition that represents the past at all, but the 'present' and 'future', right?"

Sitting on the upper edge of the Hokage Rock, Lin looked a little haggard in the night wind. Even though her strength had not declined, the feeling lingering around her was undoubtedly a bit more frustrated. This feeling did not only come from today. Everything she experienced at the meeting also included some things that she finally saw through.

"Yes, since my father passed away, I have understood that Konoha Village should not belong to a few people. Obviously many people have devoted their lives and consciousness to the village, but it is only a small number of people who determine the progress of a village. I mean, don’t you think this is too hypocritical?”

The person standing on the side was none other than Hatake Kakashi, but judging from his tone and expression, this Konoha Jonin, who had always been known for his loyalty and selflessness, clearly showed a rare indifference and rebelliousness at this moment. , as if the mask on the heart was suddenly torn off, and the true side of oneself was revealed.

"That's right... Is this the reason why you have been wearing a mask since you were a child... It's ridiculous. I always thought I knew you, but I didn't expect that I am one of the people who knows you least..."

Lin sighed softly, yes, why did she ignore it? Kakashi's father, Shigesaku Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha who once earned great fame for Konoha, died because of punishment from the top. In order to rescue a companion, the mission failed. Although the senior management did not make any explicit punishment for this matter, they allowed the atmosphere of blame and criticism to permeate the entire village, even reaching the point where the rescued companion turned around. The hatred towards Shigesaku Hatake was so intense that it finally led to the tragedy of a generation of genius ninja committing suicide alone in his own home.

And how could Kakashi, who had witnessed this with his own eyes, remain indifferent to this? The mask worn on the face was not only to cover up his face, but probably the most important thing was to cover up his expression that was distorted by hatred at that time. If it weren't for the people and encounters he met later, I'm afraid there wouldn't be the Konoha Kakashi who is now famous in the ninja world.

"For a teacher, maybe accepting me as a student can be regarded as a kind of 'compensation'. But Obito and Lin made me understand the real 'bond'. It was they who let me know that Konoha Village is still I can have people who really care about me, because they are the ones who are not really involved in 'politics', but are still willing to get close to me. Therefore, for them, I am willing to abandon the regret left behind by my father and protect Konoha as a ninja. This village they long to protect.”

As if he said the words that had been buried deep in his heart for a long time in one breath, Kakashi exhaled a long breath. Even if he couldn't see his face, he could still feel the sadness and sigh accumulated in it.

"I see, so for you, today's changes may be the change that your subconscious has longed for, right?"

Holding her knees, Lin closed her eyes slightly. When she opened her eyes again, the expression in her eyes had become determined again: "But no matter what you think, you must be there on time as one of the candidates tomorrow. , you know, Obito has always wanted to become the Hokage of Konoha Village. Since you still owe his eyes, then help him realize this wish."

It was unclear whether it was an order or a request. It just made Kakashi raise his head slightly and look at the stars in the sky. The white-haired Jonin also said lightly: "Of course, I owe Obito and Rin a lot. , far from the level of eyes or life, if there is a chance to repay, I will not have any refusal."

The common people have not been affected by the earthquake in the political arena. This is completely natural for the heads of the family. After all, what the common people want is just a stable living environment. Although there is also a so-called 'collective sense', this is not just for the family members who are not just It's too much for a century-old ninja village.

"I really didn't expect that we would be able to witness such a change in our lifetime. If we look at it in the long run, maybe this is a good thing."

In the secret room of the Nara clan, the older generation Ino Shikaku trio sat cross-legged around the drinking table. The leader, Nara Shikaku, was obviously worried, and the ravine between his brows was much deeper than before.

"That's right. Although it's a little disrespectful, it gives each ethnic group the right to make appropriate choices. This way, everyone no longer has to be as restrained as before."

Yamanaka Haiichi obviously has more considerations. As a master who is good at psychic ninjutsu, he is also more aware of the barriers and secrets between people. Indeed, the first generation of the family who created Konoha Village deserves respect, because they gave this The peaceful and stable village came for other families and civilians to settle down. However, so much time has passed, and it is time to relax a little more control over other families. After all, everyone is here to support Konoha, not to become slaves of the Senju clan or the Sarutobi clan.

"However, as a buffer between Hinata and Shimura, Shikaku will probably have a hard time in the future."

There was a hint of worry in Akimichi Dingzao's expression and words. Now Konoha's forces have clearly been divided into three groups. The first is the new force group headed by Hyuga Hinata. The advantage of this group lies in its perfect grasp of the power of the new generation. Not only the new capital industries, but also almost all the successors of the big family's generation. They advocate freer speech and investment, and try more effective weapons and communication methods. They are a group that strongly advocates "forward".

The group headed by Shimura Lin is undoubtedly the conservative group. With the root ninja as the core, we intend to continue to adhere to traditional and stable rules and use the chain of power that has been passed down for generations to continue the image of Konoha Village as a typical ninja village. From all aspects, they are a group that advocates [stability].

In the end, Shikaku's faction is undoubtedly represented by all the 'councillors'. They are all people who have experienced great storms and even witnessed the history of Konoha's regime change, but they did not have the power to participate in high-level decision-making before. . Therefore, for them, how to familiarize themselves with and use the currently granted power still requires a long period of exploration and experimentation.

As one of the family heads, Lu Jiu naturally became the representative of these family heads. It is conceivable that for a long time to come, Shikaku will need to carefully balance the communication between members and elders to avoid possible abuse of power.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the issue of the election of the Sixth Hokage.

At the same time, a large number of people rarely gathered inside the Sarutobi clan's residence, and the entire hall was already full of people. The leader is none other than Sarutobi Asuma, the current leader of the Sarutobi clan and the teacher of Shikamaru and others.

"Chief, this is a good opportunity. Although the situation has changed somewhat, if you can become the Sixth Hokage, you still have a chance to maintain the Sandaime-sama's policies."

The person who spoke was a rather steady middle-aged ninja, and after these words were spoken, a large group of young Sarutobi ninjas echoed. Obviously, the drastic change in the political system did make them feel a little uncomfortable, but it made them happy. The only thing is that Hinata nominated Asuma for the sixth generation Hokage.

The current situation of the Sarutobi clan is undoubtedly a bit delicate. As the third generation of relatives, their status in this village is unquestionable, including the benefits they have gained from the new generation of capital. However, with the succession of the Fifth Generation Senju Tsunade, these interests have been greatly reduced. After all, the people in power are no longer relatives, and they need to be cautious in all aspects.

Although the Sarutobi clan can be considered a conservative faction, this time Shimura Lin, who is the leader of the conservative faction, did not nominate Asuma, but chose Kakashi Hatake, who has almost no clan members. This makes the Sarutobi clan Quite disappointed with it. Therefore, although he was a little dissatisfied with Hinata's drastic changes to the overall situation, his act of nominating Asuma had already allowed the Sarutobi clan to regain their impression points.

"Father's measures will lead to a better successor, and...Kakashi is also an excellent Konoha ninja. It would be a good thing if he could become the Sixth Generation."

However, Asuma was obviously lacking motivation. For him, it was enough to look away from many things. The Sandaime's hard-working life experience told him that being Hokage was not that easy. If you want to wear that red hat, you have to pay far more than just an identity. Especially now that Kurenai is pregnant and expecting a baby, Asuma has even less motivation to pursue the position of Hokage.

"Maybe so, but that's no reason to give up your efforts."

At this moment, Yuhi Kurenai's voice rang softly at the door. As a pregnant woman, her abdomen had already bulged very obviously, which made Asuma stand up subconsciously: "Red, why are you here?" Already? Open the window, the air here is not very good."

There is no doubt that Asuma's series of typical good husband behaviors made the Sarutobi clan members sighing. They could see that the family leader did not have much ambition to win the position of Hokage.

"Asma, I know you want to be a good husband and father. But, as your wife, I hope you don't worry too much about us."

Sighing softly, Yuhi Hong's virtuousness was clearly evident at this moment. Although Asuma is her husband, he is also the leader of the Sarutobi clan. If Asma is too lazy for her and her children, it will undoubtedly arouse the dissatisfaction of the Sarutobi clan, which will definitely not be good for Asma himself. So, although she really wanted Asma to be by her side, she knew better what Asma really needed to do.

"Red, thank you..."

Gently holding his wife's shoulders, Asma was obviously moved: "In that case, I will do my best tomorrow."

"All in all, I will never let you and the child down."

(PS1: Oops, I forgot the time!)

(PS2: Okay~~ The fault should still lie with Asuma and Kurenai. As a single dog, it is too troublesome to write this kind of dog food scene~~)

fragments of dawn

Something big happened to the Akatsuki organization, and the news came not through other channels, but from the Akatsuki organization's seal rings worn by the members. As a tool for members of the Akatsuki organization to communicate with each other, the seal ring cannot fulfill its function alone. Its function is actually to convert the chakra signal into a wave of thoughts, and feed it back to Nagato as the central tower, and then the other party will relay it. Only then can the so-called 'communication' be formed.

After Nagato's death, these seal rings were shut down directly from the signal tower and became complete decorations, and could no longer play the role of transmitting chakra signals as before. Therefore, after discovering that the seal ring they were wearing was malfunctioning, other members of the Akatsuki organization quickly guessed that something had happened to their boss.

When Nagato died in the original work, the only people left in the Akatsuki organization who knew the inside story were Kisame and Zetsu, so there was no talk of unrest or anything like that. But at this moment, the Sapphire Group and the Kakufei Group are still alive. When they were recruited, they did not know the situation of Fei and Uchiha Madara. Naturally, the only leader of the Akatsuki organization they knew was Payne. Now after discovering that their leader was killed, although it is possible There is no sense of loyalty such as revenge, but it does not prevent them from thinking about what to do next.

With this in mind, the area that these two groups of members arrived at was none other than the Country of Waves, which had been secretly managed by the Akatsuki organization for two years.

"It's really unlucky. I originally thought that joining the Akatsuki organization would get rid of the annoying situation of being hunted down, but I didn't expect to be like this again."

The dim light of the candle seemed particularly dim due to the huge size of the living room, and sitting opposite each other around this candle were Deidara, Scorpion, Kakuzu and Hidan. It was the character who couldn't help but complain. The most restless Deidara.
