Not paying attention to the anger in Lin's tone, Hinata just turned around with a smile and stood face to face with Lin on the high platform. She lazily raised her right hand: "First of all, as the proposer, I agree with Mu. Ye implements the Senate system. Lin, you look like you are against it. So, we are one-on-one, and the final choice lies with the third elder, Mr. Shikaku."

As if bound by some invisible force, the focus of the venue shifted again, this time to the crowd below the high platform. As the third elder, Shikaku Nara is the focus at this moment.

Cold sweat oozed from Shikaku's forehead. Even when his life hung by a thread in the early battles, he had never felt such great fear. The simplest reason is that death in battle will only affect him alone at most. However, at this time, here, at this moment, if the decision he makes is wrong, it will definitely not only affect his life, but also the fate of the entire Nara family.

No one in the surrounding crowd spoke up to force the 'lucky' new elder. They just silently retreated to an appropriate distance, leaving an open space for the Nara family head who was engaged in a fierce ideological battle. Even these people who are far away from Shikaku include his lifelong friends, Yamanaka Kaiichi of the Yamanaka family, and Akimichi Choza of the Akimichi family.

Such an atmosphere undoubtedly made Lu Jiu feel doubly stressed. Even though he is known as Konoha's military advisor, he is still just a human being after all. It was as if the air around him was frozen, giving him the illusion of suffocation.

There is no doubt that this is the choice for him to take sides. Should she obey Hinata Hinata, who represents the emerging class, or choose to obey Lin Shimura, who represents the traditional class.

As the third elder, his tragedy is that his identity was only forcibly given. As for Hinata and Lin, they both relied on their own efforts and the power in their hands to take this power.

If agreed, then there is no doubt that the Nara family will become a thorn in the side of Shimura Lin and the Gen nin behind her. As the successor of Danzo, even though Shimura Lin has always been very low-key, her strong control over the Gen nin has made her The threat cannot be underestimated. And the most important thing is that she undoubtedly represents all the inheritance and continuation since the first generation. Opposing her is tantamount to opposing Konoha's history and tradition. As a loyal ninja to Konoha Village, Shikaku couldn't let himself make such a decision easily.

However, if you disagree. First of all, the Nara family will be hated and ostracized by all the surrounding families, even the long-standing allies the Yamanaka family and the Akimichi family, because this rejection is basically equivalent to ruining the desire and security of all families in Konoha. Why do the various families in Konoha seem to be so close to each other but rarely communicate with each other? Why is the Hyuga clan, currently the strongest clan, almost consciously alienated from other clans?

The simplest reason is: no one dares to let the top management of Konoha suspect that these families are colluding with each other in private. Even the Inar, Deer, and Butterflies clans are regarded as a complete whole because they were already in alliance before joining Konoha. Apart from the fact that these three families are authorized to communicate internally, they basically have no 'extra' contacts like other families.

The powerful Uchiha clan was wiped out overnight. This was not just a matter of a single clan, but also allowed the other families to see the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness of Konoha's top leaders. Even the companions who founded the village together at the time still acted when necessary. It’s a time when the sword leaves no one behind.

If we reject this Senate system, all the families in Konoha Village will still have to be good children as cautiously as before. Even if they are nominally free, they will only be in a birdcage.

In just less than a few minutes, the ground under Lu Jiu's feet was already wet. The drops of sweat even made him feel that he was on the verge of collapse.

"It seems like this is not an easy choice, so please be sure not to make a rash decision."

At this moment, the girl with white eyes on the high platform spoke again, but this time there was obviously a harsh coldness in her tone, just like her next sentence!

"Shikamaru's father!"

There is no doubt that if Shikaku was still suffering in purgatory a moment ago, then these words were undoubtedly a sudden cold wind. While blowing chills all over his body, it also instantly calmed his almost boiling head. down.

Yes, it's really scary... It's not a sudden death, but the reality that even death is unattainable...

Perhaps Shimura Lin and the root ninja behind her have the ability to make the Nara clan follow in the footsteps of the Uchiha clan and be wiped out overnight. However, this seemingly gentle white-eyed lady definitely has the ability to make the entire Nara clan feel worse than death. After all, although she does not control an obvious military organization, she does control almost all the emerging economic industries in the entire Konoha Village. Not to mention anything else, all the medicinal materials needed to control the divine water are already given to the Nara family. A path that brings countless wealth. If it were cut off... the Nara clan might not starve to death, but they would no longer have their current income...

Moreover, now within her Hinata group, Shikaku's only heir, Shikamaru, is working within it. If her plan was denied, Shikaku simply couldn't imagine what would happen to the entire Nara family, including his own son.

Yes, one party is a death that will only cause pain for a moment at most. On the other hand, it is a torture that cannot even lead to death.

There is no need to say more about this choice.

Silently, Shikaku slowly raised his right hand, and a dry word slowly came out of his mouth.

"I...as the third ruling elder..."

"Agree...the Senate system!"

(PS1: Although it’s a bit delayed, these things still need to be explained clearly~~)

(PS2: So, Hei Hina deliberately wants to take over the Senate. The fundamental purpose is to use the capital at his disposal to truly wrest power from the hands of the conservatives~~)

New rules and new Hokage

"To add, you councilors have the 'right to make suggestions'. In short, you have the power to make certain suggestions to the elders and Hokage. However, each councilor can only make suggestions once every six months, so please proceed with caution. Then, After it is submitted to the Senate, everyone will vote to decide whether to implement the suggestion. In order to effectively screen and select suitable suggestions, the three elders, including the Hokage, all have the 'permanent suggestion power' and the 'permanent veto power' . In short, the cooling time for suggestions made by elders and Hokage is 0, and they can temporarily veto the implementation of a suggestion according to their own wishes. The suggestion can be made again after three months, and if it is still passed, it can be forced Execution. Otherwise, it will be disqualified from execution.”

The large conference room in the Hokage Building that had been tidied up had obviously been hastily adjusted to its internal structure. The large round table that was originally only used for the Hokage and the elders was removed and replaced with two long conference tables. A group of Konoha family heads were lined up on both sides, savoring the suggestions of Miss Hinata behind the front conference table with different expressions.

Hinata's position is in the center of the conference table. She has obviously been planning for such a power reform for a long time. After all, for her, the power structure of this world is too rigid. The bloodline system that is passed down from one body to another seems to have brought Plenty of stability, but stability often also means 'sticking to the status quo' and 'not making progress'. As the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, although she is indeed the ruling elder and can definitely become Hokage, neither of these two identities will allow her to gain true freedom of power.

Judging from the fact that her previous reasonable requests, such as personnel changes for Konoha Barrier and investment requests for motorcycles, were rejected, it will take at least several generations of efforts for this village to get out of its stubbornness, otherwise Otherwise, they can only face the constraints and restrictions of the old forces represented by Mito Monobu, just like Tsunade being slapped in the face by the two elders all day long. Those who don't know think that Tsunade is not the Fifth Generation but the two of them. 's granddaughter.

Therefore, Hinata has absolutely no interest in being such a power puppet. Moreover, even if these two old elders are no longer there, nothing has changed. When Kakashi was the Hokage in the original book, Tsunade, the fifth generation who had apparently laid down his power, could still freely enter and exit the Hokage's office, and even conduct some government affairs. The so-called 'advice' clearly shows that Tsunade had become the new 'older generation' at that time.

Unless the power structure is completely changed, even if Hinata becomes Hokage, she will probably have more responsibility than power. Judging from the life of the new generation of Naruto who became Hokage, even though he was the Jinchuuriki of the Nine-Tails and had a genius assistant like Shikamaru, he was still so tired that he could pass out in the office. This is very revealing. Some problems are that Naruto has too many things to deal with.

To be fair, centralization and dictatorship can be useful sometimes, but they don't mean one person manages everything. But the paradox is that many times one person cannot manage everything without doing it himself.

Therefore, it is necessary to seek some trustworthy lower-level officials to assist in management. However, if these officials do not have any guarantees and benefits, it is impossible to expect them to be loyal forever. There are too many temptations in this world, which are beyond what humans can bear. Only a clear system can firmly maintain them. The lower class.

The advantage of the Senate system is that everyone involved can get some power. For this power, they can be more motivated and loyal, and the appointed officials can be trusted.

The family heads of Konoha Village naturally don't have to worry. They have been living in the shadow of being stalked or even exterminated if they disagree with each other for so long. Now they finally have a glimmer of hope of turning over and becoming masters. If anyone stops them, That must be their common enemy. At this point, as the elder who made suggestions, Hinata's support rate was absolutely crushing.

Nara Shikaku and Shimura Rin were lined up on the left and right. Compared to Hinata who was chatting, the faces of these two people were not so good-looking. After all, they were completely fooled by this girl with white eyes. Although it sounds like the elders still have the 'permanent suggestion power' and the 'permanent veto power', according to Hinata, whether these suggestions can be implemented still depends on the number of voters in the entire Senate.

In short, if the consent of enough family heads cannot be obtained, then even the elders and even the Hokage will no longer be able to cover the sky with one hand as before. Moreover, this is more about making a fuss about the support rate. For example, if a suggestion is rejected, then within the three months of cooling down, the vetoing elders have enough time to exert influence on the members. If it works, the votes can be overturned in the three-month re-decision. Thus reaching a complete rejection.

But if this is not possible, the proposal can only be delayed for three months at most. To put it bluntly, it means whether the voting family heads can get enough benefits to drive them to vote in favor. This is more of a business game than the dictatorship of the past.

As for business games, it naturally depends on who has more advanced business skills. In this regard, I am afraid that all the Hokage in the history of Konoha combined are not enough for Hinata to play. After all, the vision and foresight are different. A whole world wide. Not to mention the status of the two elders Shikaku and Lin, and the possible emergence of the sixth Hokage.

This may seem fair, but it actually moves the political system into a new area. In this area, Hinata has a full-level divine outfit, while the others are completely blank slates. Who has the right to speak? Of course there is no need to say more.

"The voting system is still that the minority obeys the majority and adopts a secret system. Elders and Hokages do not have the right to vote, but they can appropriately supplement and modify the suggestions with the consent of the proposer. Of course, if the proposal is Introduce war, such as being declared war by other villages. Then all wartime powers will temporarily belong to the Hokage and the Council of Elders. Until the war is determined to be over, the Senate system will be restored. These are the things that need to be determined, oh, one final word, no If you abstain from voting, there are not many council members in the village, so there is no need for neutral wall grass."

After glancing around at the freshly elected members in the audience with satisfaction, Hinata slowly spoke: "So, do you have any objections or questions?"

It is natural for these congressmen who have just gained power to object to anything. Even if the eldest lady takes away some of the benefits, this is a natural behavior in their eyes. After all, this Senate system determines that tragedies such as genocide will never happen again in the future.

Even if the family is at odds with each other, they will still be open to the outside world on matters of life and death. There are not many families left in the top ranks of Konoha. If they don't unite, who knows if Konoha's top brass will target the next one after killing one. At this point, it is absolutely impossible for the top management of Konoha to integrate into these families. Even Hyuga Hinata, as an elder, cannot represent the Hyuga clan. Only Hyuga Hinata can represent the Hyuga clan. This is the gap between classes. Although Hinata is the eldest lady of the Hyuga clan and Hizu's biological daughter, here, she is the elder of Konoha, and Hizu is the head of the Hyuga clan.

"No, these systems sound very complete. You must have spent a long time designing them."

Lin, who was on Hinata's left, spoke in a calm tone. Now that the victory or defeat was decided, she was not going to make useless objections. She could only say that she was one step behind in this move. Therefore, what is needed now is how to quickly adapt to the new rules and gain the upper hand again. At the worst, we must first balance this ambitious white-eyed lady.

Moreover, she could tell that Hinata had obviously hidden a very bad setting, that is, the so-called "Elders and Hokages can obtain the consent of the proposer and modify and supplement their suggestions", and just like Hinata Just like she used Shikamaru to threaten Shikaku before, it was hard to say whether she would repeat her old tricks and use this so-called reasonable setting to interfere with the suggestions of other family heads.

In a word, these rules are not so much fair as they are all tailor-made for Hinata.

"Pretty much. Ever since I came to this world, I've been thinking about how to change the ancient and rigid rules of the past."

Turning her head slightly, Hinata did not intend to hide her attitude anymore. You must know that when Koharu and Mito Kadoyan were still there before, she had to think twice about what she said.

Nara Shikaku on the right wisely did not intend to join the discussion, but he finally calmed down. First of all, he became an elder, which was definitely a good thing for the Nara clan, and since he had already expressed his attitude and sided with Hinata, there was nothing to regret. The ability and skills of this Byakugan lady are obvious to all. Firstly, she will definitely not harm Konoha, and secondly, Shikamaru is also highly used by her, so there is no reason to violate her wishes.

"So, as the ruling elder, can I make suggestions now?"

Looking at the councilors in front of her, Lin's eyes calmed down, and her words made Hinata next to her slightly roll her eyes: "Of course, the elders have the 'always making suggestions', so it's natural. .”

"Very good, then I suggest that we immediately prepare to decide on the candidate for the Sixth Hokage. After all, the Senate and the Council of Elders have already filled up their positions, and we cannot leave the position of Hokage vacant any longer."

Lin's tone obviously had a hint of calculation. Yes, she could see clearly now that Nara Shikaku, as the third elder, had undoubtedly sided with Hinata. In this way, Hinata had two Elder level power. Therefore, the counterattack she can make is to try to make the sixth generation Hokage a decision-maker on the same side as her. After all, Hokage represents the face of a village, and also has the same veto power and suggestion power. If Lin can win , then at least it can balance the current high-level power.

This suggestion obviously caused a brief commotion among the parliamentarians in the audience. Indeed, because the sixth generation Hokage Danzo was assassinated before, the candidate for the sixth generation was not decided again due to formal reasons, but now it seems that it is time. .

"Very good, but candidates also need to be proposed. Since Lin made this suggestion, there must be a candidate that she is satisfied with, right? Tell me, who is it?"
