Chapter 194 The Fourth Hokage Orochimaru
"Now, I will inform you about the inside story of the mission money case and the handling process."
"After investigation, 14 years ago, Sarutobi started working in the mission management office. Within a month, he discovered a loophole in the release of missions and persuaded the other four to start the operation of high-paying and low-setting, that is, receiving high mission money, but setting a low amount when setting the mission."
"Since the 32nd year of Konoha, the five people have taken in a total of 32.6 billion yuan in illegal income, but after various squandering, the five people have only 3.5 billion yuan left."
"According to the "Fire Country Criminal Law" Article"
Hokage office building, conference room.
The heads of the major clans gathered together, including the village ninja, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, and Jiraiya.
That's right, Jiraiya on the front line was also called back for a meeting. It is obvious that Sarutobi Hiruzen is still unwilling to give up and wants to try to push Jiraiya to the top.
After all, Jiraiya is too lazy and has no trusted subordinates. If he becomes Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen will still do the work.
It is worth mentioning that Sarutobi Biwako, who never came to attend the meeting, also arrived. There was a child sitting next to her, Hyuga Ningyuan.
Opposite Hyuga Ningyuan, Hyuga Hiashi kept staring at him.
He had originally planned to teach this brat a lesson when he returned, but he didn't expect that the incident that day was too serious. He hurried back to discuss with his father and forgot about teaching Ningyuan a lesson.
It wasn't until he saw Ningyuan again today that he remembered it.
Ningyuan didn't care about his hateful eyes. It's like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law.
There are only a few fathers-in-law as open-minded as Yuhi Shinku, after all.
"By the way, what did those five people do to squander more than 20 billion!" Before the meeting officially started, someone was discussing in a low voice.
"Who knows!" The person next to him sneered. Five people who work in the office building every day squandered more than 20 billion. Whoever believes it is an idiot.
But after all, it is about the former Hokage, and this Hokage is the disciple of the former Hokage. Give him face and don't say it.
Soon, the last three people who came to the meeting arrived.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu.
"Be quiet!" Seeing the playful expressions of some people in the audience, Sarutobi Hiruzen was angry, but there was nothing to say.
Anyway, the money was in his hands, so he could say whatever he wanted.
"I think everyone knows the content of this meeting. I will repeat it here!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a heavy tone: "Five termites are hidden in such an important position as the Hokage Office Building and the Task Management Office, and they have been hiding for 14 years!"
"This is a shame for my Sarutobi clan and a shame for me as a Hokage!" Sarutobi Hiruzen could already imagine how much ridicule he would suffer if he abdicated in this way and spread to other countries.
However, there is no way, unless you want to overturn the table, you must act within this set of rules.
And those five people still have more than 20 billion funds that have not been explained clearly.
If you don't abdicate, they will continue to torture you.
"Although the five of them have confessed their crimes and have been punished, I still bear an unshirkable responsibility for this matter!" Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up: "Red Bean Mud Private Marseille!"
"After this incident, I am sure that I am no longer qualified to continue to serve as the Hokage, so I will step down from the position of Hokage and hand it over to a capable and talented junior!"
Although everyone was prepared, everyone was relieved when it really came to this step.
In fact, what Sarutobi Hiruzen did was mainly to damage the interests of civilian ninjas, but Sarutobi Hiruzen has been suppressing the ninja clan with all his strength during his years in power, and he actually did not please both sides.
So Sarutobi Hiruzen's resignation is good for everyone.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down and leaned heavily on the back of the chair.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, he was still a little reluctant when this day came!
He grabbed the Hokage's bamboo hat for a long time, and then handed it to Mito Kado En.
It was not a succession, but to let him preside over the selection of the fourth generation Hokage.
After all, Orochimaru's black spot has not been found, so it is certainly not the turn of Mitomon En, an old bastard who has no strength and no achievements, to take the throne.
"There is a saying in "Honghuang" that a family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day!"
Suddenly hearing his own words, Ning Yuan raised his head in confusion.
It was really Mitomon En who said that!
"We in Konoha, of course, cannot be without a village chief. Since Sarutobi Hiruzen has stepped down, and the best ninjas in the village have gathered here, then we might as well select the next Hokage!"
"Everyone has a piece of paper in front of you. You can write down your favorite candidates and collect them in five minutes!"
All of them?
Ning Yuan looked at the empty table in front of him. Why don't I have it?
But Sarutobi Biwako had one in front of her, and she took out a pen and started writing.
Ning Yuan glanced at it, and she actually wrote Orochimaru!
I thought you would write Jiraiya!
Five minutes later, Koharu Utane stood up, collected all the papers, and after reading them, she said, "The results have been summarized here. There are four candidates for Hokage submitted by you, namely Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Hyuga Hiashi, and Uchiha Fugaku!"
As soon as the voice fell, countless eyes focused on Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku.
You two are really shameless. You are all under 30 years old, and Fugaku has been on the battlefield. Hyuga Hiashi has not even been on the battlefield. How dare you nominate yourself?
Hinata Hizashi and Uchiha Fugaku's expressions were even uglier, because they didn't nominate themselves at all, but the other party!
You can't choose yourself anyway, so why not disgust your opponent.
Unexpectedly, the two of them wanted to go together!
"Then, let's start." Before Koharu could finish speaking, he saw Jiraiya raise his hand: "I give up my candidacy!"
"What?" Xiaochun was stunned and asked after going to bed.
"I give up the qualification to become Hokage. My character is not suitable for being Hokage!" Jiraiya said categorically.
He was also busy looking for the Son of Prophecy and traveling around to collect information. How could he want to stay in the village and read documents every day?
"Jiraiya, are you sure you want to give up your qualifications to become Hokage?"
"I'm sure!" Jiraiya nodded heavily.
"In that case." Koharu went to bed and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen. Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had no expression, he said, "Jiraiya gave up his qualifications. There are currently candidates."
"I give up too!"
"I give up too!"
Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hinashi both raised their hands.
After turning to bed, Koharu nodded and asked: "Uchiha Fugaku, Hinata Hinashi, are you sure you want to give up your qualifications to become Hokage?"
"OK!" The two nodded reluctantly. If ten years later, there might still be hope of becoming Hokage.
But now, I am too young and have not made any achievements yet
"In this case, the current Hokage candidate is Orochimaru!" Koharu turned to bed and looked at Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, do you want to give up your qualifications to become Hokage?"
It was best to give up, after all, she could still be an elder by virtue of being a partner with Sarutobi Hiruzen, but if Orochimaru came to power, it was hard to say what the future would be like.
"Don't give up!" Orochimaru shook his head.
"In that case!" After sleeping, Koharu picked up the bamboo hat and stood up and came to Orochimaru: "Orochimaru, you are the fourth Hokage of Konoha Village!"
With that said, he was about to put the hat on Orochimaru's head.
But before he put it on, Orochimaru raised his hand and held it down.
"Why, you changed your mind?" Xiaochun asked when he went to bed.
"That's not true!" Orochimaru took the bamboo hat from Koharu, who was sleeping there: "I just want to wear it myself!"
A small detail directly made Xiaochun, who moved to bed, darken her face.
I don’t have any special ideas for wearing a hat for you, is that all?
But everyone had already put on their hats, so she could only return to her seat obediently.
"Next, all you need to do is inform your name and hold a succession ceremony, then you can officially take office!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
"It's okay to inform the daimyo, forget about the ceremony. Konoha Village is not rich, so keep everything simple!" If it were the previous daimyo, Orochimaru wouldn't care, but behind the current daimyo is the Ning organization. In order to show his support for the Ning organization Obey, certain procedures still have to be followed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, it didn't matter.
"So, now can I exercise my power as Hokage?" Orochimaru licked his tongue and asked.
"Of course!" Koharu and Mito Monobu looked at each other when they went to bed. They wouldn't start causing trouble so soon!
Orochimaru stood up and said loudly: "Corruption has happened in Konoha Village, and it has lasted for 14 years. This not only proves that Konoha Village is extremely backward in the anti-corruption mechanism, but also shows that Konoha's The task system has major flaws, otherwise people wouldn’t be taking advantage of it like this!”
The heads of the ninja clan nodded, this is the truth.
"So, from today on, Konoha Village will no longer accept missions!"
"What?" Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up in a hurry. I thought you were just washing the dishes, but I didn't expect you to even overturn the table!
"How can this work!" The other clan leaders also looked at each other, especially the civilian ninja representatives below: "Without the mission, where will our money come from?"
"Yes, I will starve to death!"
Orochimaru smiled, pointed at Fugaku, and said: "After the Uchiha Guard Corps is reorganized, it will no longer have a mission, so it can still survive. Our Konoha Village must also change according to the Uchiha clan's plan. From now on Ninjas no longer perform tasks, but provide subsidies according to their strength levels!"
"Ah this!" Fugaku was stunned, he didn't expect that there was his own business involved!
However, after feeling that many eyes were focused on him, although he did not propose this reform or preside over it, he still subconsciously put on a triumphant expression.
Yes, this is us Uchiha, even the reform of the village must learn from us!
"But, if there is no mission, what should the merchants do if they have entrustments?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.
"No more businessmen will come to issue tasks in the future!" Orochimaru said with a smile.
"Why?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned.
Orochimaru smiled and did not explain in detail.
Where do you think the detailed evidence of those five people came from?
Since two years ago, merchants no longer need to hire ninjas, and all bandits in the entire Fire Country have been wiped out!
The reason why Konoha Village can maintain the previous task volume is because the Ning organization specially issued it in order to paralyze Sarutobi Hiruzen!
"In addition, although there are no longer tasks to be issued, many departments in the village have increased, so a new department needs to be established, called the Supervision Department. The responsibilities of this department are similar to the economic investigation of the Uchiha Guards, and they specialize in investigating Konoha officials. All kinds of corruption and abuse of power by personnel!”
Many people were about to speak, but Fugaku beat them to it.
"Your department has done these things, what do our Uchiha economic investigators do?"
"Investigate private economic crimes!" Orochimaru said.
"How can the people have any economic problems?" Fugaku asked angrily.
Orochimaru smiled: "There will be!"
Fugaku was about to say something when he heard Orochimaru continue: "As for the candidate for the first Inspector General, Shiki Aburame, you can be the one!"
"Ah?" The oil matriarch, who was sitting in the corner with no sense of presence at all, suddenly raised her head, and she still has something to do with me?
"This department requires practitioners to have a deeper understanding of mathematics and economics. Before you take up the post, go to Kyoto University to study mathematics for a few months. I will get you an application for admission. In addition, if you have a clan member you are optimistic about, You can also bring it with you!”
The Aburame clan has always been a family that was underestimated by others. If this family is used well, it actually has the power to change the world.
Not to mention the distance, the insects of the Aburame clan can chew up Mount Taki, which blocks the clouds in the Land of Rain.
Although it takes a long time.
"Yes!" Aburame Zhihui nodded excitedly. Their presence was low, but that didn't mean they didn't want to make contributions.
Now that the new Hokage values this much, he will go through fire and water, Brother Snake!
Seeing that the Aburame clan got a chance, the eyes of the other young ninja clan widened.
I originally thought that changing to Hokage would have no impact on me, but I didn't expect that it might take off!
Yes, although the new Hokage has some background information, it is all on the battlefield. If it is used to manage the village, of course it is better to be a family ninja!
For a time, Orochimaru had already received a certain amount of support even though he hadn't started doing anything yet!
Only Hinata Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku looked at each other, feeling a little on pins and needles.
Starting with the young ninja clan first, does that mean there will be no chance for the two of them?
