Chapter 663 The Fifth Hokage: Jiraiya!
"Teacher, it's almost time!"

Quan's voice came from outside the door.

Dou Ping walked out of the room.

After coming out, he found that not only Izumi, but also Naruko, Karin, Yamama Kouji, and Hinata Sogetsu were ready to leave. It was obvious that he was the only one left.

So he took the lead and walked towards the Hokage building.

On the streets, countless villagers are looking forward to the new Hokage.

It's Jiraiya after all!

Even though the official appointment of the Fire Country Daimyo has not yet been made, everyone knows that there will be no surprises.

As one of the three ninjas, Jiraiya is definitely the best choice for the new Hokage, regardless of his identity, background or personal strength.

At this moment, Konoha really needs good news to dilute its worries and anxieties, so today's Hokage inauguration ceremony is so grand.

It was still a dire situation at dawn, but the village has been transformed now, which shows how much effort has been invested.

The efficiency of ninjas is indeed exaggerated.

If it were an ordinary person, it would definitely not be possible to be so fast.

Of course, the most important thing that made it so lively was that there were not many ordinary people injured or killed last night.

Not even that!

As soon as the fire started, ninjas came to rescue people and put out the fire.

So even though the fire burned down many buildings, there were very few casualties among ordinary villagers. If there were heavy casualties, no one would be in the mood to celebrate today.

As for the damage caused by Danzo leading the Root to assassinate Dohei?
Apart from reducing the area to ruins, there were no casualties among the villagers.

That little building is too remote!

That's why Dohei suspected that someone in the village's upper echelons was collaborating with Danzo.

Otherwise, if they were really arranged to rest in the village center, there would definitely be a large number of casualties among the villagers.

Enter the Jounin Hall on the first floor of the Hokage Building.

At this time, all the jonin and higher-ups had arrived.

Even if Dou Ping directly withdrew from the Hokage candidate, he was still qualified to come and take a look.

There were a total of four candidates for Hokage. Two of them voluntarily withdrew, one became a traitor, and finally only Jiraiya was left as a candidate. Naturally, there could be no one else to be the Fifth Hokage today.

A daimyo envoy with thick powder on his face was standing on the stage, reading out the daimyo's appointment to everyone.

"…Jiraiya will be the Fifth Hokage!"

At the end of the long and boring text, the other party handed Jiraiya an appointment document.

Obviously, the Daimyo maintained his status through this procedure and showed that his status was above that of the Hokage.

After all, the Hokage is appointed by him, the daimyo, so it is obvious who has a higher status.

Just for this nominal benefit, a huge amount of funds will be spent.

Jiraiya took the document which had more symbolic meaning than practical significance and said:
"I will definitely live up to the expectations of His Majesty the Daimyo and lead Konoha to protect the Land of Fire!"

Now is the stage of the war.

Due to the attack by the Cloud Ninja and the Iwa Ninja, the Fire Country was greatly affected, so the Fire Country Daimyo sent the appointment documents so quickly.

I just want Konoha to resolve the issue quickly.

“I hope you can do what you say!”

The daimyo envoy nodded and left.

Then, Koharu Utane walked up to Jiraiya holding a Hokage hat.

"After wearing this hat, you will no longer be an ordinary ninja, and the love of ordinary people..."

Tang Ping was reciting in his mind the lines from a movie he had watched before traveling through time, and found it very interesting.

The Fifth Hokage Jiraiya!
It is definitely a completely different direction from the original plot.

The butterfly wings finally set the ninja world on a completely different course.

The normal procedure is to go out and accept the cheers of the villagers.

But Tang Ping naturally couldn't let the process go smoothly, so he walked out.

"Uchiha Dohei, what are you going to do?"

Tsunade stood in front of him, looking at him with alert and vigilant eyes.

She knew that the other party was a traitor. In addition, he was assassinated by Danzo in the early morning, so he must be very angry. Naturally, she couldn't let him cause trouble. "Tsunade-senpai, even if I, the candidate for Hokage, don't become the Hokage, I still have the right to talk to the Hokage, right?"

Tang Ping spoke calmly, as if he wasn't trying to cause trouble.

But the high-ranking members of the Hokage faction were all aware of his rebellious nature and his unconventional ways, and they did not believe what he said at all.

So, not only Tsunade, but also the two advisors, Asuma, Shikaku and others, also stood silently behind Tsunade.

"Of course you have this right!"

Jiraiya's voice rang out.

The look he gave Tang Ping was filled with hidden anger and hatred.

There is no way. Myoboku Mountain is still in the hands of the other party, and the remaining toads are in a "homeless" state. How can he not hate them?

That is to say, he took into consideration the current dire situation in Konoha, otherwise he would have turned against him long ago.

Once the danger is eliminated, the next thing to do is to deal with the castle tower. He changed his previous ideas and took the position of Hokage, not only to save Konoha, but also to deal with Dohei.

Because the other party is the 'Son of Destruction'!

According to the prophecy, Myoboku Mountain was destroyed, and the next would be Konoha, so whether out of personal grudges or for the sake of Konoha, Jiraiya had to find a way to destroy the other party.

"Hokage-sama, I wonder what punishment Sarutobi Hiruzen will receive?"

Dou Ping said what he wanted to say, which made everyone in the Hokage department look dark.

It's simply a slap in the face in public!
“This needs to be investigated slowly!”

Mito Kadokendo quickly took over the conversation to prevent Jiraiya from saying the wrong thing.

"Oh!" Tang Ping sneered, "Will this investigation take several years or even decades? Will the punishment be given after the person dies?"

He was not saying this casually, because this kind of thing is very likely to happen.

Even if Jiraiya and Tsunade are unwilling, they do not have the final say in the Hokage system.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen is a prominent figure in the Hokage family. If he is really punished, he will lose all face. Even for the sake of the reputation of the Hokage family, it is impossible to punish him.

But it cannot be denied that he did do a lot of wrong things, and he has to be punished, so the best option is to delay the investigation until no one is paying attention and then let it go.

As Dohei said this, the two advisors and Nara Shikaku's eyes flashed with horror, and their expressions became a little unnatural.

Because they had already discussed this idea yesterday.

Seeing this, Tang Ping naturally would not give the other party a chance to escape.

"It seems that I was right. It was difficult to deal with before because there was no Hokage. Now that the Hokage has been selected, I wonder what our Godaime will say. It won't be like what Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo did before, completely 'three glasses of wine as punishment, and never do it again', right?"

Tang Ping raised his voice.

Although there were many Hokage people in the hall, there were also some non-Hokage people who were naturally very concerned about this matter.

Especially when Danzo was mentioned, they were filled with resentment.

Because Danzo is really a bad person and has done countless bad things, but he has always relied on the support of Sarutobi Hiruzen, which makes them dare not speak out.

Now that the other party has escaped, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who supported him, naturally became the outlet for everyone's resentment.

Although they didn't dare to say anything, after all, Konoha was the world of the Hokage.

But just showing concern is already a statement.

"Of course not!" Jiraiya shook his head. He was also extremely dissatisfied with the relationship between his teacher and Danzo, but he would not learn from him, so he thought seriously about how to punish him.

Neither too heavy nor too light is good!

If it's too heavy, it'll hit the Hokage's face.

It would be even worse if the punishment was too light, because everything Sarutobi Hiruzen did was true, and if the punishment was too light, it would not be possible to "convince the people."

After all, if you dare to do it on the first day of the month, don't blame others for doing it on the fifteenth day!

"Jiraiya, today is your golden day as Hokage. We can talk about this later!"

Utane Koharu persuaded.

No matter what we do now, it will be wrong. It would be better to delay it for a few days and punish them after Dohei and most of the ninjas leave. By then, the initiative will be in their hands.

"this…"

Jiraiya was a little moved.

However, at this time, Tang Ping naturally would not take the opportunity to kick the man down, and directly took out the trump card he had hidden before.
