Uchiha Fugaku spoke in great detail, and his words were full of beautiful aspirations for the future of the Uchiha clan.
But no matter how good Uchiha Fugaku's words are, the voices of opposition will never disappear. This is the internal trouble of the Uchiha clan.
Of course, given the current good situation, these people will not jump out immediately.
But not jumping out now does not mean that they will not jump out in the future. After all, human greed is insatiable, and the hawkish faction of the Uchiha clan definitely wants more.
Uchiha Fugaku saw all of this and made a decision in his heart.
He wanted to see what attitude Namikaze Minato would have towards the Uchiha clan in the future, and then decide whether to deal with the hawkish members within the Uchiha clan.
In general, the choice is up to Minato Namikaze. As long as Minato Namikaze can make the Uchiha clan see hope for the future and as long as Uchiha Fugaku is alive, he will not take risks.
There is no need to take risks and fight to the death for a bright future that can be achieved by following the rules.
Of course, the reason why Uchiha Fugaku had such an idea was because the pressure brought to him by Minato Namikaze and the three father and son of the Hatake family was too great.
Uchiha Fugaku was certain that even if the Uchiha clan made a desperate move, they would be suppressed quickly.
That’s why...Uchiha Fugaku is so honest.
……
The next morning, the whole Konoha was decorated with lights and looked very festive.
The ceremony for Minato Namikaze to succeed the Fourth Hokage is about to begin!
Because Namikaze Minato was born into a commoner family, the lower- and middle-class residents and ninjas of Konoha were very excited, and seemed to be very proud of it.
Moreover, Minato Namikaze's civilian identity undoubtedly ignited a flame in the hearts of everyone in Konoha Village.
Since Minato Namikaze can become the Fourth Hokage as a civilian, there is no reason why they can't!
So today, a seed of aiming to become the future Hokage has been planted in the hearts of some people, and Namikaze Minato has become the object of worship for the lower-level people in Konoha.
On the high platform, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who acted as a tool, handed the Hokage's hat to Minato Namikaze. After that, Minato Namikaze naturally became the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!
With the support of the people and the recognition of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Namikaze Minato's position as Hokage is well-deserved!
"Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for your recognition."
Minato Namikaze had a smile on his face. He reached out to adjust the Hokage hat on his head and bowed slightly towards the audience.
"Lord Yondaime Hokage!"
"Lord Yondaime Hokage!"
"Lord Yondaime Hokage!"
As Minato Namikaze moved, the cheers from the audience became louder and louder, and everyone's face showed recognition and support for Minato Namikaze.
"Everyone, be quiet."
Minato Namikaze raised his hand and pressed down, and the voices from the audience suddenly stopped. This appeal moved Minato Namikaze's heart.
From now on, he will be the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!
The surging emotions in his heart made Minato Namikaze's eyes a little moist, but with a few quick, deep breaths, he suppressed them.
"I am very grateful for your support. I would like to assure you that the future of the village and the Land of Fire will become brighter and more glorious under the leadership of me and the Daimyo!"
"In order to better enhance the village's heritage and the Fire Nation's strength, I will implement a series of reforms after I take office."
"First, the reform of the ninja school."
"Because I come from a commoner family, I feel deeply about Konoha's education problems."
What Minato Namikaze said was absolutely true, and his words resonated with the people in the audience.
Faced with the whispering in the audience, Minato Namikaze did not stop them, but simply raised the volume of his speech.
"Therefore, I have decided to increase the length of time that students at the Ninja School need to stay in school by one year, and I have also made certain adjustments to the corresponding courses."
"In general, the knowledge taught in ninja schools is more profound, including but not limited to teaching various ninjutsu and taijutsu of level A and below."
"Because time is limited, the specific reform matters will be posted on the village bulletin board in the form of big-character posters. Anyone interested can go and take a look."
"it is good!!!"
"As expected of the Fourth Hokage, who was born as a civilian ninja, this reform really touched our hearts!"
"Who said it wasn't! I want to go back to the Ninja School to further my studies!"
"I think so too. Those are some ninjutsu of A-rank and below..."
"Ahem, I'm ashamed. I want to, too. After all, I've only mastered two B-rank ninjutsu since I became a Chunin."
"..."
As soon as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, there was a burst of heated discussion from the audience.
Minato Namikaze, who was standing on the stage, couldn't hear clearly, but he knew that this move of his had won the loyalty of most of the people in Konoha.
Glancing at the audience below, Minato Namikaze's eyes were fixed on Hatake Akira.
"And the position of principal of the reformed Ninja School will be held by me, and the position of vice-principal will be held by Hatake Akira!"
Minato Namikaze's words made Hatake Akira in the audience show a happy expression. This was the position he wanted!
Being the vice-principal of a ninja school not only allows one to recruit some of Konoha's talented ninjas to serve as backup for the main C, but the job is also simple and easy, without too many trivial matters.
More importantly, Hatake Akira can pass on his ideas and fundamentally uproot Sarutobi Hiruzen's roots that are entangled in various parts of Konoha!
He, Hatake Akira, wants to create a new will of fire for Konoha so that Konoha can become a well-deserved super ninja village in the ninja world!
And after that...
That's when Akira Hatake starts his final plan!
Chapter 231 The dispute between the new and old forces in Konoha.
Minato Namikaze's inauguration ceremony was perfect.
Just by virtue of the ninja school education reform, Minato Namikaze won the hearts of the vast majority of people in Konoha Village.
But correspondingly, by doing so, Minato Namikaze also put himself in opposition to the various ninja clans of Konoha.
Civilian ninjas can learn some advanced ninjutsu through ninja schools. If this continues, the advantages of the various ninja clans in Konoha will gradually be lost.
And where do those high-level ninjutsu come from?
Needless to say, most of the ninjutsu circulated in Konoha Village are family ninjutsu passed down from generation to generation by the various ninja clans of Konoha.
The ninjutsu that his ancestors had painstakingly researched was shared free of charge with the group of civilian ninjas in Konoha by Minato Namikaze with a casual remark about educational reform.
But why? !
When Minato Namikaze was giving a speech, the ninjas from various ninja clans would not jump out to offend Minato Namikaze.
After all, a new official has three things to do when he takes office, and Namikaze Minato is now in the ascendant. If he jumps out at that time, he will undoubtedly put himself in opposition to the vast majority of people in Konoha.
Among all the ninjas in Konoha, 7% are civilian ninjas. It is reasonable that these ninja clans in Konoha would not openly oppose Minato Namikaze.
Although they cannot oppose openly, these people are very good at making trouble in secret or pretending to obey.
Minato Namikaze was well aware of this, and Akira Hatake, who initiated this proposal, was even more clear about it.
Since the two of them knew the situation clearly, they naturally thought of corresponding countermeasures to deal with the various ninja clans in Konoha.
Hokage Building, conference room on the third floor.
"I appoint Hatake Sakumo as the head of the Anbu. Does anyone here have any objection?"
After Minato Namikaze finished his speech, he immediately summoned all the Konoha leaders to a meeting in the Hokage Building.
The main purpose of the meeting was for Minato Namikaze to arrange his own people to serve in various powerful departments of Konoha.
As soon as the proposal to appoint Hatake Sakumo as Minister of Abe was made, everyone present quickly exchanged glances and had already made the decision in their hearts.
"The Uchiha clan agrees!"
"The Hyuga clan agrees!"
"The mountain tribe agrees!"
"The Akimichi clan agrees!"
"The Inuzuka clan agrees!"
"..."
The clan leaders of all the ninja clans in Konoha voted in favor, and Minato Namikaze was very happy after getting off to a good start.
"Since everyone agrees, this appointment will officially take effect. Don't forget to sign it later."
Minato Namikaze raised the document in his hand and then put it aside.
"Next, we will vote on the candidate for the deputy director of the Anbu."
"I prefer to let the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, serve as the deputy head of the Anbu. What do you think?"
"The Shimura clan objects!"
"The Tsunabe clan objects!"
"The Mitomon clan objects!"
As soon as Namikaze Minato finished speaking, the three clans, which had risen to prominence thanks to Sarutobi Hiruzen's connections, jumped out to oppose him.
After all, the three clans have suppressed the Uchiha clan a lot after they came to power. If the Uchiha clan is allowed to take advantage of Namikaze Minato's power to re-occupy the high position in Konoha, then the future of the Shimura, Utane, Mitomon and other ninja clans will definitely be difficult.
"On behalf of the Sarutobi clan, I also object to the personnel appointments made by the Yondaime just now."
Immediately afterwards, the abdicated Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes, looked at the spirited Namikaze Minato on the stage with a smile, and raised his hand to cast a vote against it.
"This……"
As Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, a burst of noise broke out in the originally quiet conference room.
Obviously, the nature of this meeting has changed after Sarutobi Hiruzen left.
The one who proposed it was the current Fourth Hokage, while the one who opposed it was the former Third Hokage. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a battle between the new forces and the old forces.
If you are not strong enough, you may get into trouble if you make a statement rashly.
After a brief discussion, some ninja clan leaders who felt that their clans were not strong enough kept silent, neither voting against nor voting in favor.
