Sandai had considered the possibility of losing before.
This is a very normal consideration.
After all, anyone can lose.
No one can keep winning.
But Sandai still didn't expect that the final defeat would be like this.
This was far beyond his expectation, and it was so ironic that he didn't expect it at all.
After these things now.
He has no way to continue competing for the position of Hokage in Konoha Village.
As the former Third Hokage of Konoha Village, he is very aware of how unfavorable public opinion is to him now, and he also understands that such public opinion cannot be easily reversed by him.
Public opinion now has reached a very scary level.
Danzo plus Orochimaru plus Konan and the fact that the roots have been disbanded, these things are all stacked up together.
If only there was only one of these things.
The third generation's psychology is not that fearful, because this is not something that is completely impossible to crack.
But the reality is.
These things were like a thousand arrows shooting at this moment, and they all appeared on him together, making it impossible for him to break them one by one. The cumulative effect was like a shackle that could not be untied, and the more it was tied, the older it became. The more it goes, the deeper it goes.
These things seemed to drag him into an unsolvable abyss at this moment.
In such an abyss.
Sandai very clearly recognized the changes in the current situation. He understood that this time he said it very thoroughly. There was no way to reverse the situation. According to the current public opinion, even if Senju Tobirama teacher came, there was no way. Let's turn everything around at this moment.
"The situation is over."
The third generation muttered lightly.
He looked much older.
After this fight for the position of Hokage, he understood more clearly that now is a new era.
The era that belonged to him in the past has completely come to an end.
To a certain extent, Sandai has already been mentally prepared. He knows that he may lose, so as long as he tries his best, he will not have any regrets. But when this matter is really put in front of him, He will find that even if he has experienced it, as long as he does not achieve what he wants to do, he will have regrets.
When such regret appeared in front of him, he felt a very unspeakable sadness in his heart.
Still unwilling.
Still regretful.
On such a matter, the third generation did not really let go.
after all.
The third generation was very concerned about the position of Hokage.
but.
No matter how many possible fantasies he had in his mind, he also knew that by this time, everything had been settled.
There is no chance of a comeback.
All of a sudden.
The third generation looks much older.
…
However, things did not end so easily. With the wave of Namikaze Minato, more people in Konoha Village knew that the third generation was helping Konan become a ninja in Konoha Village.
at the same time.
The top leaders of the major families in Konoha Village have also released the news that the Roots have been disbanded. Such news, if presented alone, will not cause too much reaction from the people of Konoha Village. After all, the Roots are with them. It's still too far away.
But this time.
Many public opinions are surrounding the root cause.
One of the fundamental reasons why many people choose to believe in the third generation in the end is that it has nothing to do with the third generation. The third generation may still be what everyone sees on the surface, and the third generation may still be the ultimate victim of this matter.
For some of these reasons, some people choose to keep their own ideas and believe in the third generation.
But when it was revealed that the roots had been disbanded, their trust in the third generation was shaken to a certain extent, because from the time the third generation said these words, it was proved that the third generation was actually involved in the root.
Now that we know what happened to the Roots, why didn’t we say it before that the Roots had been disbanded? If we had spoken out, everyone would have understood and would have disbanded the Roots. These problems can be attributed to Danzo and what he did. One of the main purposes of such things is to frame the third generation.
But at this point in time, this matter has been exposed by public opinion, and the third generation has previously dumped all the blame on the roots, which has to cause many people to think deeply.
The people of Konoha Village began to think about this matter. What proportion of the third generation is in the body
What does the matter of not disbanding have to do with breaking up
Were those things done by the third generation or by the roots
Why was the root disbanded at this point in time
Is there something hidden here
One question mark after another appeared in the hearts of the people of Konoha Village, and with these question marks, the public opinion in Konoha Village became even stronger.
These things all intertwine into a complex pattern.
If the root has been disbanded, there will be no way to use the root to cover what Danzo and Orochimaru did, and there will be no way to complete the cleansing of the third generation. And before the third generation himself is cleansed, there is no way to completely The matter of Xiaonan joining Konoha Village was solved.
It's like a layer of locks, now the three generations are trapped here, and they can't be unlocked at all.
The mood of the discussion became more and more intense.
And at this time.
Behind Ichiraku Ramen in Konoha Village.
In a room.
Namikaze Minato looked at the couple in front of him, his face slowly relaxed. At this time, he also understood that he had a chance to win. It was only a matter of time before he became Hokage. All other things were gone. It's important.
It's not that Namikaze Minato doesn't know a little bit of common sense, it's precisely because he understands what kind of concept this is, so he knows that the third generation simply can't complete a comeback in such a thing.
Precisely because of this understanding, Namikaze Minato knew in his heart that the time had come for him to become the Hokage of Konoha Village. Although he was still only a few days away from becoming the Hokage, he was now certain in his heart This is the result.
"Qingyu, do you have anything else to explain when you come to me?"
Namikaze Minato looked at Haruyu, looking over, he knew that his current achievements were inseparable from the genius strategist in front of him. It could almost be said that these achievements step by step were all buried by Qingyu.
Namikaze Minato has no intention of burning bridges at all. He knows the couple's contribution to this matter, so he is also prepared to create a certain degree of interference with Aoyu.
But Namikaze Minato didn't expect that Qingyu would come here at this time and want to find him by name, which made him have some doubts in his heart.
"Yes."
The couple nodded without hesitation. He could see that Namikaze Minato already looked like he had a chance to win, but he felt that this was not enough.
As the mastermind couple behind the whole thing, they also knew that the third generation had arrived and had no way to argue. They were exhausted and could no longer compete for the position of Hokage.
But for Qingyu, this is the final blow.
"We are going to take our last resort."
Aoba raised his head and stared into Namikaze Minato's eyes, the color in his eyes was extremely serious. He knew very well that Namikaze Minato might not be able to listen to these words now, but he still had to say some things because of this The process is very important to him.
"Now the third generation seems to have lost the ability to fight back, but we don't know how many trump cards are behind the third generation. If at the last moment it shows a trump card that we have not considered at all before, then we will eventually Very passive."
Qingyu paused slightly when he said this, and looked up at Namikaze Minato, but found that Namikaze Minato had no intention of interrupting, but was listening to him seriously, so he nodded again and continued to speak.
"You can never relax until the last moment, and you can't say you have completely won until the last moment."
"There are still many variables."
“We need to nip these variables in the bud.”
"We should not feel that it is redundant to take any measures before victory. I would rather take a few more steps now than to think of ways to remedy the situation when problems arise in the Hokage Chronicle. too difficult."
"We cannot be passive."
"As I said before, we have to take the initiative. Now the Third Generation has given us a very good opportunity. That is, in the hearts of the people in Konoha Village, the Third Generation and Xiaonan have been bound together."
"Next we have to unleash Xiaonan's reversal."
"Let Xiaonan's public opinion echo directly in the sky of Konoha Village. Once Xiaonan has a problem, it will be equivalent to a problem with the third generation. At that time, the third generation will truly and completely lose their voice and power."
"Of course, during this process, we cannot sit back and enjoy the results, because everything has not been settled yet. If the third generation really takes the opportunity to find a possibility that we have not thought of and reverse things, it will be very difficult for us. Not good news."
"We must not relax."
"Now is not the time."
Aoba said one sentence after another. After he said these words, it was obvious that Namikaze Minato's expression had become serious.
For him, Namikaze Minato has a very good advantage, that is, although the other party already has such a high status, he can still listen to the advice given by others.
"After Xiaonan's incident broke out, we will be the first to condemn Sandai through public opinion. We will make Sandai hang there and be unable to get out. By that time, he will be unable to make any decisions."
Qingyu told the last part of the whole thing. He believed that when they brought these things to the end, it would be a very gorgeous show, but the chess pieces in these performances didn't know what they were going to do. From the beginning, everything was decided between them. All their efforts will not change the final outcome in any way.
