Chapter 206: Chapter 206
«...»
Hearing Yeruashi's words, everyone present froze for a while, and then started whispering to each other, ignoring Koharu's green face.
"Stop talking...»
Hiruzen sighed helplessly and said, " Elder Koharu is just trying to reduce Konoha's economic expenses. So, do you have other topics?»
The conference room was silent for a while.
Many of the people present looked at Yeruashi.
The silence was interrupted by Fugaku's calm voice: "Lord Hokage, it's been a month since the Fourth Hokage's funeral, I think for the sake of the village's well-being, it's already time to elect the Fifth Hokage.»
These words caused Hiruzen, Kohara, and Homura to visibly stiffen, and the same thought flashed through their minds at the same time.
The time has come.
Fugaku paused and continued calmly: "I'm nominating Hatake Yeruashi, what do you think of that, Lord Hokage?»
The conference room was quiet again.
Koharu said in a heavy voice: "The merits of the Elite Junin Hatake Yeruashi are quite enough to become the Fifth Hokage, but he is too young.»
She understood that it was impossible to stop it, Yeruashi would become Hokage sooner or later, they could only try to delay it.
Hyuga Hiashi, who was sitting next to Fugaku, said, " Among the Great Villages, there was already a precedent of Kage being inaugurated at the age of fifteen. So we can have the inauguration next year, by which time Lord Yeruashi will be fifteen years old, and he is also a Jinchuriki Kyubi. I don't think there is a more worthy candidate for becoming the next Hokage.»
Hiashi had already changed his address to Yeruashi.
In his opinion, making Yeruashi the next Hokage was already a done deal.
"Jinchuriki Kyubi...»
Hiruzen glanced at Yeruashi, who was sitting nearby, and wanted to swear. Haven't you seen the Kyubi sleeping all day outside the village? What kind of Jinchuriki?!
Apparently, there is something special about the Kyubi that allows you to divide its chakra just at will.
Homura spoke: "There is nothing wrong with making Yeruashi the Fifth Hokage, however, at this point, I would recommend that he take the position of assistant Hokage to familiarize himself with the internal affairs of the village, in which case, the transfer of the position will go most smoothly.»
Discussing this issue with Koharu, they came to a consensus, since there is no way to stop the formation of Yeruashi Hokage, then it is necessary to delay it as long as possible, they could not just give up everything and retire early.
"I don't think there's any problem with that.»
Shikaku Nara put down the documents and said, " Hiruzen also took office without a transfer process. Now all departments of Konoha are stable, so there will be absolutely no problems with familiarization after taking office, there is no need for additional time for adaptation.»
Koharu frowned: "But it happened during the war...»
Shinku Yuhi said softly, " Elder, don't forget that the current peace is due to Lord Yeruashi.»
After the words of Shinku Yuuhi, other Shinobi also began to express their opinions.
With the exception of the discontent of a few Shinobi who were loyal to Hiruzen to the last, all the other Shinobi, including the heads of large clans, almost unanimously supported Yeruashi.
The upper layers of Konoha came to a consensus, since the time of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, such a scene has rarely occurred in the village.
"Yeruashi, what's your opinion on this?»
Hiruzen spoke to Yeruashi, his voice heavy.
Yeruashi smiled: "I may really be too young to take up the post of Hokage right now, but still...There is one question I would very much like to discuss.»
After saying that, Yeruashi took out a document and tossed it to Hiruzen.
The third Hokage took the document and began to read it carefully.
His gaze immediately froze.
"Lord Hokage, what is it? Perhaps you should read it out loud?»
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Hiruzen and asked with interest.
Hiruzen's fingers were trembling slightly, and he looked at Yeruashi, and then he looked at Kohara and Homura sitting next to him, a look that made Kohara feel very bad.
"Lord Hokage, please read it.»
Hyuga Hiashi said calmly.
The other Shinobi also looked at Hiruzen with undisguised interest.
Hiruzen looked around the conference room, which was already completely out of his control, opened his mouth with difficulty, and began to read out the contents of the document in a heavy voice.
This was information about the assets that Homura and Koharu had withdrawn from the Konoha economy during their time as Hokage advisors.
The total amount exceeded two billion!
Actually.
Part of these funds belonged to the shadow side of Konoha.
Koharu and Homura directed a significant portion of these funds to Danzo, to support and develop the Root, as well as to support the activities of the Anbu.
But even so, Koharu and Homura were still not clean enough on the hand, taking a certain part of the funds for personal use.
This matter had never been investigated before, because Konoha was under the control of Hiruzen, Koharu, and the others, but in these two months, the situation in the village had changed a lot.
The conference room was silent.
Everyone present was looking at Kohara Utatane and Homura Mitokado.
Of course, everyone knew about this flow of money directed to the Anbu and the Root, and they were also well aware that Homura and Koharu, through whom these funds had passed over the years, were probably not clean hands.
Koharu and Homura's behavior confirmed this. The faces of the two Hokage advisors twisted in nasty grimaces, they wanted to say something in their defense, but the facts provided could not be refuted.
"The interrogation department.»
Yeruashi's calm voice rang out in the silence.
"I'm listening!»
The commander of the interrogation department immediately rose from his seat.
Yeruashi waved his hand, " Take them and conduct a thorough interrogation. Confirm where all the stolen funds went...until the last Re.»
"Got it!»
The commander of the interrogation department approached Kohar and Homura, and then said in a heavy voice: "Advisors, follow me.»
Koharu and Homura looked at Hiruzen, about to say something, but Yeruashi snapped his finger, creating an air bullet that rained down on the two councilors ' bodies.
Bang!!
Koharu and Homura flew backward, slamming into the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Yeruashi...you!»
Hiruzen stood up abruptly and exclaimed.
Yeruashi looked at him indifferently and said: "I think it would be more correct to impose the punishment after the interrogation, in accordance with the laws of Konoha, don't you think so, Third Hokage?»
Hiruzen frowned heavily, but when he saw a lot of indifferent eyes in the meeting room, he helplessly returned to his seat: "You're right, that's what we'll do.»
He had been looking forward to this day.
But I didn't expect that Yeruashi would take such a tough and decisive step.
This is far from being as simple as depriving Koharu and Homura of power and authority, Yeruashi intends to tie them to the pillar of shame...At that moment, Hiruzen couldn't help but remember how something similar had happened to Hatake Sakumo in the past...
