And at this moment, Shikaku also said, "This matter will be entrusted to us. We will properly bury the Third Hokage."
After all, the Third Hokage had grace towards them, and they would express their gratitude by burying him well.
Ryosuke naturally had no objection. "Then, it's up to you."
Soon, Shikaku sent several clan members to carry the Third Hokage's body down. There was no need to leave the body exposed here.
It was impossible to hold a grand public funeral in the village, but they could still hold a grand funeral for themselves.
It could also be considered as repaying the Third Hokage.
After these people carried the body down, the scene fell into silence. Now the village has no Hokage, and a clan leader proposed.
"Now that the Third Hokage has died due to guilt, shouldn't we also elect a new Hokage, to be confirmed by the Daimyo, and then the new Hokage will lead the village?"
Some of the clan leaders also spoke in agreement. "That's right, the village can't be without a Hokage."
They also understood that the next Hokage would definitely be from the Uchiha clan. This time, the Uchiha had shown enough dominance.
Whether it was combat power, reputation, or qualifications, they were firmly number one in the village, and no one could compete with them.
But even if the village elects this clan, it still needs the Daimyo's approval, though it's generally always approved.
In the Land of Fire, the Daimyo is responsible for managing the Land of Fire, while the Hidden Leaf Village is responsible for providing military support and protecting the Land of Fire.
The Daimyo's house cannot directly interfere in the village's decisions; the Hidden Leaf Village only belongs to the Daimyo's house.
And Ryosuke was not in a hurry to push his family up at this moment. It was not the right time yet; they needed to wait until the Third Hokage's death had completely calmed down.
When the news of the Third Hokage's guilty suicide spread, the village would definitely be unstable, and the villagers would probably not be able to accept it for a while.
However, after that, the Uchiha clan would definitely rise to power.
He wasn't happy about needing the Daimyo's approval for the Hokage nomination. After all, the Hidden Leaf Village controlled the strongest military power, and a mere Daimyo shouldn't be able to decide the Hokage position for them.
He directly said, "Now, there's no rush to elect a new Hokage. Let's hold the clan leaders' meeting a week later. Everyone should think carefully about who to nominate. Of course, everyone can also nominate their own candidates, and then the clan leaders will choose. The one selected will be the Hokage recognized by the village."
"What do you think?"
The clan leaders present were somewhat stunned. They didn't expect there wouldn't be further progress; he really had patience. Naturally, they wouldn't oppose.
Holding a clan leaders' meeting was just a formality. Who had the ability and the guts to oppose the Uchiha clan? That would only bring discomfort to themselves.
They all echoed. "Then, as you say."
Before they knew it, they had started using honorifics. Because this person was now the strongest in the Hidden Leaf Village, and even in the ninja world. Such a strong person should personally take the position, right?
It was clear that this meeting was presided over by Uchiha Ryosuke, while Fugaku remained silent, everything was led by Uchiha Ryosuke.
At this time, Ryosuke continued to propose. "The Third Hokage has committed suicide due to guilt, and the two elder advisors have been dismissed due to their crimes."
"But the affairs of the village still need someone to manage, so Nara Shikaku will temporarily take over the duties of the two of them. I wonder if Nara Shikaku is willing?"
Shikaku was taken aback, not expecting the Uchiha clan to let him be the temporary transitional figure for the village during this period. He was very surprised, wondering what the Uchiha clan was thinking. Even if they weren't in a hurry to take over, at least they should have control of the village.
Perhaps they thought there was no need to rush. The Hidden Leaf was already under their control.
"Alright, I have no objections."
Now, the village was in this state, with four top leaders either having stepped down, committed suicide, or been killed. Now, only he could step forward and do something for the village.
At this point, Uchiha Ryosuke looked towards the two elder advisors, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane and said, "You two should coordinate with Nara Shikaku to hand over your tasks."
The two elder advisors quickly said, "Okay."
They didn't dare refuse. Danzo was dead, the Third Hokage was dead, and they were lucky enough to still be alive.
Ryosuke was very satisfied with their response. The reason he made Nara Shikaku an advisor was that he was a very capable person, especially when it came to intelligence, and he would definitely be able to manage the village well.
Now, the necessary tasks had been completed. He was very satisfied with the results of today's meeting. Not only had they successfully brought the Third Hokage down, but it also didn't have too big of an impact on the Uchiha clan.
After all, he had committed suicide due to guilt. Who could blame the Uchiha clan?
It was also time to leave the scene. He then ordered the Uchiha clan to return to their clan grounds and the guard team building.
Hachiyo and Fugaku naturally had no objections. They were also very satisfied with today's result. Except for Hachiyo, who still felt a little uncomfortable.
That was regarding the treatment of the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan. These two clans had caused deep disasters for the Uchiha clan.
Of course, they wouldn't ruin Uchiha Ryosuke's plans now. They would wait until they returned to the clan grounds to discuss.
Meanwhile, those left behind were also looking at each other, preparing to leave. Today had truly shocked them. The sky of the Hidden Leaf Village was about to change, and a new dynasty was about to begin.
Actually, the four Hokages of the Hidden Leaf Village could all be considered part of the Senju clan's system.
The First Hokage Senju Hashirama, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was the disciple of the Second Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze was the grand-student of the Third Hokage.
But the future would belong to the Uchiha clan. They had no problem accepting it. The Uchiha clan was rising again. They truly had the ability to lead the Hidden Leaf Village.
———
Soon, the news of the Third Hokage's guilty suicide spread throughout the entire village, and all the information was exposed. The villagers of the Hidden Leaf Village were all in disbelief.
Although they already knew, the Third Hokage really had killed Shisui and even allowed Danzo to conduct many human experiments. Himan experiments were, of course, not allowed, and the villagers didn't want to be used as experimental material.
The human experiments conducted by Danzo were even more horrifying than those done by Orochimaru. He used many babies for experiments and even indirectly led to the decline of the Senju clan.
People were discussing in groups.
"Did you hear about today's clan leader meeting? How did the Third Hokage not notice that Danzo used more than 50 children for human experiments?"
"Human experiments? That's too cruel, it's practically inhuman."
Human experiments would cause immense suffering to the subjects, who would then die.
"I heard they were fusing the cells of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, but it backfired and killed them."
"Who knows? This Third Hokage really was incompetent."
"Indeed, he was very incompetent. The ninja school textbooks even claimed the Third Hokage was the strongest Hokage. How ironic."
Some people joined the discussion midway.
"Strongest Hokage, my foot! Even more explosive news has come out. The Third Hokage is probably the worst Hokage."
