Dismissing Them One by One

A corner of the stage.

Genma Shiranui's face stiffened.

He's currently only a Chunin and doesn't have voting rights.

However, because he was in charge of keeping the Hokage's attire, he was allowed to listen in, but he couldn't express his opinion.

Upon hearing Junichi's words, he broke out in a sweat and hesitated.

I don't know if I should go out.

"Um?"

Seeing that he didn't move, Zhun glanced at him.

He was given a wide view.

Genma Shiranui felt a chill run down his spine, immediately thinking of the fate of those who opposed Junichi Uchiha.

He shivered immediately, and without further hesitation, strode forward.

"Lord Godai, please."

Genma Shiranui bowed deeply and respectfully presented the Hokage attire with both hands.

"Not bad, you know what's good for you." Junichi chuckled, casually picking up the Hokage hat and tossing it around in his hand.

This thing is just a woven product made of bamboo.

But what's important is its symbolic meaning.

When this straw hat falls into Junichi's hands, all the ninjas of Konoha will have to bow down to him.

Unless that person is going to betray the village.

Otherwise, everyone must obey Zhunyi's orders.

"We agreed before that Danzo Shimura would be judged by the Fifth Hokage." Junichi smiled and looked at the crowd below. "Now, I am the Fifth Hokage."

"I sentence Shimura Danzo to death."

"The former senior executives who knew about it but failed to report it or were negligent in their duties are all responsible, but considering their poor health, we will remove them from their positions."

Silence fell over the crowd.

All the Jonin lowered their heads.

It was indeed agreed that Danzo Shimura would be judged by the Fifth Hokage, but everyone knew that this was just a delaying tactic by the Third Hokage.

of course.

Now that Junichi is the Fifth Hokage, it's too late to say anything.

He can naturally turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist.

"It seems no one has any objections."

Zhun-yi smiled and nodded. The former high-ranking official was thus dismissed by him with such ease.

He paused, then added, "The interrogation of the Root should also be put on the agenda."

"Might Guy, Jonin."

Junichi suddenly called out a name.

in the crowd.

A man with a watermelon-shaped haircut, thick eyebrows, and wearing a green bodysuit looked up warily.

"I appoint you as the chief judge to investigate the root of the crime, effective immediately," Junichi said to him.

Matt Kee frowned, his expression complex.

"What, are you going to disobey the Hokage's orders?" Junichi's voice suddenly turned cold.

Matt Kai's expression changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head: "I wouldn't dare."

"Then why don't you agree?" Junichi sneered, his tone full of pressure.

Matt Kai's expression froze.

The surrounding Jonin looked at him with complicated expressions.

The air was slightly heavy.

A silent pressure fell on Matt Kee's head.

He simply couldn't refuse.

Because this is the Hokage's order!

"...Yes, Fifth Generation Lord." Might Guy was silent for a few seconds before finally lowering his head.

Not far away, Kakashi sighed inwardly, a look of sympathy on his face.

"very good."

Junichi nodded in satisfaction; he had initially gained control of this nuclear weapon of the Eight Gates Formation.

It has to be said, it feels really good to be intimidated by a sense of righteousness and authority.

"Furthermore, with the removal of high-ranking officials, former trusted subordinates inevitably have some blemishes, but I'm too lazy to investigate. You can all write your own voluntary resignation applications, and I'll approve them all." Junichi then looked at the other Jonin and said with a smile.

Instantly, all the Jonin in the arena wore expressions of utter disgust.

The high-ranking officials, led by the Third Hokage, have controlled Konoha for decades, and their influence has grown to a considerable extent.

It can be said that the heads of each department are all trusted subordinates of the higher-ups.

These trusted subordinates.

Naturally, it came from one of the Jonin present.

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi had been Hokage for the past few decades, so naturally they would side with the Third Hokage.

Now, however, it is to be eliminated by the word "one".

Decades of investment and operation have all gone up in flames!

"What, you have a problem with that?" Junichi said with a mocking smile, staring at the crowd below.

His gaze swept across the room, and all the Jonin lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

No one dared to resist.

With the righteous cause at his disposal and overwhelming military strength, he was ready to fight.

There was no way to resist.

No matter how frustrating it is, you have to endure it!

"I will obey the Fifth Hokage's orders." A commoner Jonin was the first to give up resistance and obediently said, "I will write my abdication application and leave this afternoon to go home."

Some people have expressed their opinions.

The other Jonin also followed suit and expressed their obedience.

"Me too."

"The entire oil-producing women will resign."

"I will obey Lord Wudai's will."

……

In an instant.

Three-quarters of the key positions in Konoha's various departments are now vacant.

Even the eight seats in the Jonin Council were vacated, with all members voluntarily stepping down.

"very good."

Zhun Yi's smile grew more and more obvious; these people were quite sensible.

Of course, another way to put it is as a fence-sitter.

Although not of the bourgeoisie, their weakness was on full display, much like the aristocratic families of ancient dynasties.

It doesn't matter who ascends to the throne; the country will be governed by scions of powerful families.

"Tsunade, Jiraiya..."

Junichi's gaze shifted to the two who had remained silent, and he said with a faint smile, "You two must be tired from your journey back to the village. It just so happens that the Third Hokage is paralyzed in bed and needs someone to take care of him."

"As disciples, you should personally attend to their needs regarding medicine and remedies."

"I won't be assigning you any positions."

Tsunade and Jiraiya had frighteningly gloomy expressions.

This is a plausible excuse.

They were perfectly positioned to keep the two people aloft, preventing them from interfering with the village's operations.

But they could not accept it.

"That's enough!"

Tsunade first glanced at the other Jonin, who had all made promises and patted their chests to guarantee it.

At the crucial moment, however, he swayed directly to Junichi Uchiha's side.

They're all traitors!

"I do not agree with you being the Fifth Hokage!" Tsunade said angrily, her sharp gaze piercing Junichi.

Junichi, his expression calm and collected, chuckled, "Are you questioning the Daimyo?"

"No, I'm questioning you!"

Tsunade simply dropped the pretense and coldly said, "The Daimyo has always been close to the Senju clan, so it's impossible for him to appoint an Uchiha as Hokage."

"Uchiha Junichi, I suspect you did something to the Daimyo."

"Until the truth comes out, I absolutely will not agree to you becoming the Fifth Generation!"

The words were spoken.

An uproar erupted among the Jonin.

Many people's eyes flickered.

They had their doubts, but no one dared to question it directly.

The fate of the four major families is a prime example.

"Junichi-kun, there are some things you can't do," Jiraiya said, looking at Junichi sternly. "You've crossed the line!"

The other Jonin began to stir with barely suppressed excitement, exchanging glances repeatedly.

Only...

Kakashi glanced at Junichi secretly and saw that the clan leader was calm and composed, with a serene expression.

He immediately shook his head inwardly, knowing that it was definitely not that simple.

Junichi Uchiha left such an obvious loophole.

"So, you two are questioning whether I used illusion magic on the Daimyo?" Junichi asked with a light laugh.

"I didn't say that!"

Tsunade's expression was icy as she said in a low voice, "I simply don't agree with this result!"

Jiraiya nodded in agreement: "This is not the normal procedure. It has never happened before in history. A daimyo bypassed Konoha and was directly appointed Hokage."

The other Jonin were eager to try.

"To put it bluntly, you still suspect that the Uchiha clan attacked the Daimyo," Elder Xiongji sneered. "But kid, you need evidence to back up your claims."

He looked at the two of them with a half-smile, a mocking curve at the corner of his mouth.
