0639 congress nomination begins (Ch 0639)

Dong Si explained with a smile, “The ability of Patriarch Fugaku is not disclosed to the public, and the Sandaime-sama already has a great reputation, so the remaining hero spot is given to me.”

“Well, how about I join you, Minister.” When he was joking in the morning, the scar at the corner of his mouth was pulled, which made Dong Si wonder why this guy only liked to sneer lightly every time.

“By the way, is Director Toushi’s department really the same as the Root? Doesn’t that mean…” Shisui was concerned about another aspect.

“Anyone who is capable can come, provided they can pass the assessment of the Anbu. I guess I have some power to pick a few capable assistants myself. The power of the Safety Supervision Department is smaller than that of the Root Department, and the duties of the Safety Supervision Department are only slightly different from those of the Anbu, but… things that the Anbu is not convenient to do are still handled by the Safety Supervision Department, and things that the Anbu does that are difficult to admit are still “credited” by the Safety Supervision Department.” Dong Si spoke the truth. Because he also wanted to win over some strong people to work for him, so that he could worry less.

“Anyway, I’ve already registered with the minister, so remember to reserve the position of squadron leader for me.” Although he was joking in the morning, it was obviously what he really thought.

“So, Toushi, do you support Lord Jiraiya or Senior Kakashi?” Shisui returned to the more important issue.

Toushi patted Shisui’s shoulder heavily, “Need I ask? Of course I support Kakashi. Among all the candidates in the village who are qualified to be Hokage, only Kakashi can achieve the goal of the Fourth Hokage. Master Jiraiya, you are not interested in this, you lack motivation, and you are not energetic enough.”

Jiraiya, who has a ranger personality, is only suitable to be a hero, similar to Naruto – that’s what Toushi thinks.

“Then I will join the Security Inspection Department with Itachi,” Shisui said solemnly.

Dong Si was delighted. After working together for so long, these guys finally recognized him. “You’re most welcome!”

“Will you find a way to exempt us from the assessment, Mr. Minister?”

“You can pass the exam, so why worry? Don’t waste your exemption.”

“That’s not what you said just now.”

“Just now? Did I say anything?”

“Shisui, this guy deserves a beating, let’s deal with him together…”

“good……”

At the first light of the next morning, the first few rows of the Konoha Jounin meeting room were gradually filled with people. Only one-fifth of the 200 seats were occupied, and many of them had rushed back from various borders in the past two days.

Dong Si glanced around the room – only Zuo Laiye was leaning against the railing in the back row, and Kakashi, who was destined to be another protagonist today, was sitting in the front row with his eyes lowered.

Asuma also attended the Jonin Conference, and he was easily recognized with his full beard.

Utatane Koharu stood up and walked to the podium: “From today on, the Root Department will be disbanded, and its original tasks will be transferred to the newly established Security Supervision Department.” She pointed her skinny finger in the direction of Toushi, “Kazesai Toushi will be the first director, directly under the Hokage’s office.”

Dozens of gazes from all around were directed at him.

Amid the murmurs, Dong Si quickly stood up to accept everyone’s gaze and bowed.

He noticed Kakashi tilt his head slightly, and as he sat down he looked back to see Jiraiya sitting up straight and giving him a curious look.

The patriarchs of the big clans such as Lu Jiu all made small gestures such as nodding and smiling.

The host gave another long speech, mainly reviewing the incident of Danzo colluding with Orochimaru in rebellion.

“Next we will proceed with the nomination of the fifth Hokage.” Mitomon En, who also came to the podium, announced the most important part of this meeting.

Theoretically, all the jonin in the village have the right to nominate candidates for Hokage, but everyone abides by the “rules” and does not use this right at will.

Utane Koharu was the first to break the silence and mentioned the name “Jiraiya”.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Fugaku announced the name “Hatake Kakashi”.
