Chapter 350 Konoha Night Banquet

   With the gifts ready, Uchiha Mai and Tsunade arrived at Sarutobi Hiizan’s house together, and they made their own judgment even more.

  Invited to the banquet, in addition to the two of them, there are Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Hatake Sakumo, Master Door, and Kushina.

   are the leaders of Konoha, and they can be called people of the Hokage line.

   Seeing that Tsunade and Uchiha Mai are quite close, Jiraiya only felt a pain in his heart, you never know where your rival in love will come out.

   After everyone chatted for a while, Sarutobi Hizen and Sarutobi Biwako walked out of the back hall hand in hand, and greeted everyone, "Don't stand, sit down."

  The banquet was already set up, and before everyone was seated, Uchiha Mai walked over quickly and gave out his gift: "I was notified temporarily, and if you didn't come, prepare a gift.

   This is the newly released album by me and [Boyhood], the signature version of the Supreme Black Gold Collection, please accept it, Mr. Naruto, and wish you and Mrs. Naruto a long life together. "

  The Naruto world is a very unscientific world. It looks like an ancient world, but there are TVs, refrigerators, vending machines and other electrical appliances.

   In recent years, the technology of Snow Country has developed rapidly, and the CD player has also been invented, and the sales volume is very wide.

  Uchiha Mai, as the No. 1 male soloist in the ninja world, holds 32 concerts a year. Naturally, he has to take advantage of the boom in CD players to release a solo album, which is just bad money.

   Sarutobi Hizan took over the album with a smile, gave Biwako his eyes and said with a smile, "Mai, you really have a heart.

   I often tell others that every song of yours is very sunny and positive, and the will of fire is reflected in the lyrics and songs.

  I, Lake Biwa, and Sachima are all your fans. I like this gift very much. "

   Sarutobi Sachima is the eldest son of Hiruzen Sarutobi. A few years ago, he was the champion of the best show of the village evening with the song "I Defend the Frontier for Konoha". He is a person with the will of fire in his heart.

  That kid Asman is a bit unreasonable. When Uchiha Mai held a concert a few months ago, he left Konoha and ran to the capital of the country of fire.

   When you come to a banquet, it is a due gift to give a gift.

The gift from    Tsunade is that she compiled a book called "One Percent of Poker Elites". It expounds Tsunade's entire understanding of Texas Hold'em GTO theory, which is quite advanced.

   Sarutobi Hizan and others questioned the gold content of this book. Can you, Tsunade, also write this kind of book?

   "With the study of GTO theory, when I play Texas Hold'em, I can already guarantee that I will not lose or make money in the long run."

   Tsunade proudly said with his hands on his hips.

   Texas Hold'em is a game of luck after all, lose today and win tomorrow, whether a person plays well or not depends on the long-term profitability.

   Sarutobi Hiizan and others were in awe.

  The luck of Tsunade is known to them. The knowledge in this book can make Tsunade not lose or make money in the long run. The gold content must be higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea.

  Although Sarutobi Hizen didn't need this book, he still happily accepted it. It's all the effort and will of the apprentice.

  The gift from Orochimaru is a newly developed ninjutsu, the gift from Hatake Sakumo is a short sword, and the gift from the master and his wife is a pair of kunai.

  Jiraiya sent his newly published novel, the first volume of "Intimacy in Paradise", and after sending it out, he gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a "you know" look.

   "Teacher, this is the book that you and I discussed the idea and storyline before. It was officially published half a month ago, and the sales are very high."

   Sarutobi Hiruzen understood in seconds, and immediately took "Intimacy Paradise" into his arms, which was the only gift he did not give to Lake Biwa.

  After everyone was seated, Master Men stood up again and smiled shyly: "On the wedding anniversary of Lord Hokage and Mrs. Hokage, I also have good news to tell everyone.

   On the 3rd of next month, Kushina and I will also get married. I hope everyone can attend our wedding. "

  Jilai also heard the words haha ​​and joked: "Watergate, you are a thief, tell us at this time, doesn't it mean that we don't even have a chance to shirk?

   It seems that you are very serious about your money. "

  Master Men quickly explained: "It doesn't matter if you have money, the main thing is to share this joy with everyone."

"Ha ha."

"Ha ha."

  …

   Everyone made fun of the door master, and congratulated Sarutobi Hizan again.

After three rounds of drinking, Sarutobi Hizan patted his wife Lake Biwa's hand and said with a smile, "Actually, in addition to celebrating my wedding anniversary with Lake Biwa today, there are some trivial things I want to talk to you about. ."

   Business is coming.

   Lake Biwa understood and found a reason to call Kushina away together.

   Mai Uchiha and the others put down their chopsticks and wine glasses, and sat upright, waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi to speak.

   Sarutobi Hibiki put his left arm on the dining table, rested his left hand on his cheek, glanced at the crowd, and said with a smile, "Thirty years ago, I took over the position of Hokage from Tobirama-sama.

  I am ambitious and full of passion to lead Konoha to a new height and make a great career.

   In the past 30 years, I have indeed done a lot. Whether it is merit or demerit, right or wrong, it is hard to say. There are only three that can be called meritorious.

   The first is to further improve Konoha's various institutions and rules and regulations on the basis of the creation of the second generation, making Konoha more like a whole.

   The second is to lead Konoha to retreat from the two ninja wars.

   I commanded the second ninja war, and I participated in the third ninja war. Although Konoha suffered some losses, fortunately, the foundation was not damaged.

  The third and most important point is to discover and cultivate many outstanding talents for Konoha.

   In the past 30 years, I have been working as Hokage, and the happiest thing is to see that all of you are able to stand out from the crowd. With a few of you juniors and descendants, I am really proud of Sarutobi Hiizan. "

   Sarutobi Hizen was the first to turn his head to look at Hatake Sakumo, and said with a smile, "First of all, Sakumo, who has made many contributions during his tenure in Anbu.

   After being idle, he did not abandon his personal training. When Konoha was in danger, he responded to the call of the village and once again went into battle as the first army commander to defend against Sandyin.

  I toast you. "

   Sarutobi Hizen raised the wine glass in his hand, Hatake Sakumo was terrified, raised the wine glass with both hands, and respectfully said: "I would like to die for Konoha."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Sarutobi Hizan looked at Jiraiya again, raised his glass and said, "Then Jiraiya, I know you never like to be restrained, and you have long planned to leave Konoha to travel the world of ninjas. .

  After the war started by Yunyin, you led the army to the front line and poured blood for Konoha for several years without any complaints.

  I toast you. "

  …

   "And then Orochimaru..."

  …

   "After that, Tsunade..."

  …

   "Finally, dance.

  You participated in this ninja war from beginning to end, attacking Yunyin pioneer reconnaissance troop, ambush four-tailed human Zhuli, one-person division captured Wuyin Village, and beheaded three generations of Me Kazekage.

   has made great contributions to Konoha, I toast to you. "

   Uchiha Mai got up and raised his glass with both hands, and said modestly: "Just did something within my power."

   After a circle of respect, Sarutobi Hizan sat down and said with emotion: "You have all performed outstandingly in this war, and it is no exaggeration to say that everyone's credit is above me.

   Seeing you behave like this, I am very happy, and while I am happy, I am also reflecting on myself. Compared with you, am I already old, and it is time to abdicate and make a worthy man?

   The answer is yes.

   In recent years, I feel more and more that my physical condition is not as good as before, and my energy is not as abundant as before, and many things make me mentally and physically exhausted.

  Although I think that my body can last for a few more years, but the younger generation of Konoha has grown up, and I don’t need to fall in love.

   Hand over power to the new Hokage as soon as possible, and I can also guide and assist the new Hokage when I have spare energy. When it's really too late to choose a new Hokage, it's bound to go wrong.

  I plan to elect a new Hokage candidate in the near future, what do you think? "

   Sarutobi Hizen took the lead to look at Hatake Sakumo.

   Hatake Sakumo shook his head, looking disinterested, and refused: "I have no plans to do Hokage, or to run for Hokage.

   When I was the Minister of Anbu and was in charge of a front, I often felt that my brain was not enough, and I couldn’t handle many things.

   Minister Anbu is already at his limit, Hokage, I have absolutely no such ability.

   Besides, Kakashi is getting older. I owe him a lot because of work. Now I want to devote more time and energy to my family. "

   Setting up a blind date for Kakashi and continuing the descendants of the Hatake family is what Hatake Sakumo wants to do most now.

   Sarutobi Hizan looked at Tsunade again.

   Tsunade shook his head immediately, avoiding it and resisting: "Old man, you should spare me, for the few months I managed Konoha for you, I felt like living like a year, it was not easy.

   That's just a proxy for Hokage. If it's the real Hokage, I'm afraid I'll lose ten years of my life for one year in office. "

  Want to catch the old lady's strong man, you are dreaming!

   Sarutobi Hizan sighed, Tsunade is capable, but her personality is too salty. If she is willing to be Hokage, Konoha can avoid many troubles.

   Next is Jiraiya.

   Before Sarutobi Hidden looked over, Jirai waved his hand and said, "Teacher, you know me, my biggest wish right now is to leave Konoha to travel in the world of ninjas and collect materials for my new work.

  I am a novelist, a writer and artist first, and a ninja second. "

   "I never counted on you."

   Sarutobi Hizan snorted, and looked at Orochimaru after skipping Jirai.

  Orochimaru smiled slightly, his dark golden pupils flickered, and smiled: "Jiraiya and Tsunade are very resistant to the position of Hokage, but I still want to compete for the position of Hokage, Sannin can't be wiped out.

   The Konoha ninja who doesn't want to be Naruto is not a good ninja, not to mention, I'm still your direct disciple. "

  Orochimaru is confident, and Jirai also voluntarily withdraws from the Hokage campaign. Uchiha Mai is too young to be elected, and Namikaze Minato is not qualified enough.

   He has made contributions in the two Ninja World Wars. He is a top powerhouse who has been famous for many years in Konoha, and has accumulated a reputation for ten years.

  The position of Hokage, who is it for me?

   Sarutobi Hiizhan nodded, Orochimaru unsurprisingly expressed his desire for the position of Hokage, and he is indeed qualified in terms of ability.

   It's just that Orochimaru's character is more like Senshou Tobirama and not like Hiruzen Sarutobi, which is a bit extreme, which makes Hiruzen Sarutobi not very fond of.

   Sarutobi Hiizan's gaze shifted again, looking at Mai Uchiha.

Uchiha Mai leaned on the back of the chair, holding a toothpick in his mouth, and said calmly: "According to Konoha's rules and regulations, when Hokage is in power, the Ninja class has the right to elect candidates for Hokage. In special times, the Ninja class can even elect candidates. A new Hokage.

   In the election of the new Hokage, Konoha ministers, Hokage assistants, advisors, members of the Shang Ninja class and other ninjas have the right to speak.

   Many jounin nodded and said they would fully support me. "

   Every Jōnin is a minority shareholder of the Konoha company and has voting rights in many matters, and the Jōnin of the Uchiha family is no exception.

   Uchiha Mai is not used for anything, there are thirty Uchiha Junin to support him, "many Junin nods" is for sure.

  Orochimaru's confident smile gradually disappeared.

   Uchiha Mai actually intends to run for the fourth generation of Hokage, what did he think?

   As long as nothing goes wrong, relying on his strength, his talent, his age, and accumulating more than ten years of prestige, he will definitely become the fifth Hokage in the future.

  Why do you want to jump out and run for the fourth generation at this time, you can't wait ten years! ?

   Sarutobi Hiizan also clucked in his heart, and the last thing he wanted to see happened.

   Uchiha Mai has strength, prestige and family background. Once he participates in the election of the fourth generation, he is bound to become a popular candidate.

   This is not what Sarutobi Hizan wants to see, Hokage is strictly speaking the Thousand Hands, and Uchiha Mai is just an inner ghost who has broken into the Thousands.

   is nominally an apprentice of Watergate, and has a good relationship with Jiraiya and others, but there is no real master-disciple friendship or fellowship.

   He is an outsider, and Sarutobi Hiizan didn't want to hand over the position of Hokage to Mai Uchiha until he had to.

   If Uchiha Maizhi is in the fifth generation of eyes, it is good to say, at least he can drag it on, and it is impossible to say that he will go to the street in the future, or his strength will be further improved, and he will completely lock the fifth generation of eyes.

   But now, the fourth generation is not Uchiha Mai.

   "So, you will definitely come out and choose?" Sarutobi Hizan looked as usual.

   "You have to give it a try. There are so many people who support me, so if I don't come out to vote, wouldn't I be living up to everyone's support and expectations for me." Uchiha Mai smiled.

   Sarutobi Hizan sneered in his heart, apart from the Uchiha clan, who else supports you?

   Tsunade, who was sitting next to Uchiha Mai, picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass, and added wine to Uchiha Mai's quilt.

   At the same time he laughed and said: "That's right, it's too right.

   Mai has Konoha's strongest strength, Konoha's highest appearance, capable enough and so many people to support him, he really can take on the position of Hokage.

   Moreover, among the Konoha and Fire people, Mai is also very popular, and many people are his supporters and fans.

   Everyone please help out…”

   "Are you popular from a concert?"

  Orochimaru suddenly interrupted Tsunade's canvassing activities, staring at Mai Uchiha with dark golden pupils, and said with a joking tone: "Let's have a concert and release an album, the No. 1 male solo in the ninja world.

  The literary and artistic career is so prosperous, I don't know, I thought Mai was not a Konoha ninja. "
