----------

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and the warm spring breeze made people drowsy, but Konoha was very lively early in the morning because Sunagakure shinobi surrendered.

It can't be said that they surrendered, but Sunagakure shinobi couldn't hold on any longer. Hatake Sakumo killed too many people, so after Ishigami Hara left, he completely suppressed Sunagakure's possible counterattack, and they had to sign an agreement with Konoha.

This matter is naturally worth celebrating, but with the signing of the agreement, it is natural to handle the relationship with Sunagakure as soon as possible.

But at this juncture, the Jōnin meeting was held. Originally, when these two things were put together, Sunagakure's surrender was definitely more important, but now many people in the village have a hunch that this Jōnin meeting will definitely have a big event.

Therefore, the handling of Sunagakure's affairs was naturally postponed, and the Jōnin meeting was held on time.

The huge conference hall was already full of people below, and if you count them carefully, there were no less than two hundred people.

Several Elite Jōnin sat in the upper positions, all of whom were famous and powerful shinobi in the village, such as Akamichi Torifu, who was of the same generation as the Hokage.

As the leader of the Jōnin class, Akamichi Torifu also participated in this war, but he was active on the battlefield as a support before, and his main responsibility was Sunagakure shinobi. This time he was specially transferred back from the front line because of the Jōnin meeting.

That's right, the village leaders had already informed him early, so looking at the people below, Akamichi Torifu had more thoughts in his mind.

As time went by, the people were basically all there, but everyone was looking up at the door, waiting for the arrival of a key person.

Not long after, Ishigami Hara appeared at the door. Although he was not the last to arrive, he naturally attracted much attention at this time.

Wearing a well-fitting robe, he looked well-proportioned and tall. Although he had not grown up yet, he was already 1.7 meters tall, not much different from an adult. The only difference was that his handsome face was a little immature.

But no one could ignore his existence. Ishigami Hara was already an inaccessible strong man to everyone. He was the one who could influence the direction of the war with his own strength. Such a person could not be ignored even if he was young.

Another point was that Ishigami Hara had a presence far beyond that of ordinary people. He was already a celebrity in the village before he became famous on the battlefield. It was just that because of the war, his reputation was even greater now.

"Good day, Hara-kun."

"Long time no see, Hara-kun."

Everyone greeted him one by one. Although their attitude was not very enthusiastic, they were genuinely kind. Ishigami Hara was a little too special in the village, so that people who knew him or not were willing to build a good relationship with him.

"Good day, everyone."

Ishigami Hara responded, with the same friendly attitude, and soon asked for a seat to sit down during the conversation.

After sitting down, he could still feel the gazes from all directions, many people had curiosity in their eyes, but more were thoughtful.

Akamichi Torifu, who was at the top and the host of this meeting, also cast a look at Ishigami Hara, but compared to the confusion of others, he knew more and naturally understood the true meaning of this Jōnin meeting.

Thinking of that possibility, Akamichi Torifu sighed inexplicably. He really didn't know whether this change was good or bad for the village.

"Ahem!"

Soon, Akamichi coughed to attract everyone's attention and said, "Then, let's start this meeting."

The things discussed at the Jōnin meeting are generally related to the village or the shinobi group.

For example, at the Jōnin meeting at the beginning of the war, Tsunade proposed the idea of a medical team.

Although it was not implemented immediately due to a lack of support, subsequent meetings saw it carried out.

In addition, other matters, such as the promotion of certain shinobi in the same period or the retirement of others from active duty, also need to be decided by the Jōnin meeting.

Of course, the Hokage also has authority in this regard. The promotions discussed are essentially a list selected by the Jōnin meeting, which is then handed to the Hokage for final judgment. When necessary, the Jōnin meeting can bypass the Hokage and make a direct decision.

In short, the Jōnin are a very special group in the village. An individual may not wield much power, but collectively, they can influence the village's direction. This is how Konoha's power structure operates.

Therefore, the Jōnin meeting couldn't be held to discuss only one issue. As usual, the first topics were normal matters, such as the list of shinobi promotions and the arrangements for the injured.

After all, the Hokage couldn't handle everything, and these tasks naturally needed to be shared.

As the meeting continued, some people gradually sensed that something was different, and from time to time, glanced at Ishigami Hara with thoughtful expressions.

Finally, when the last minor matter was addressed, the meeting fell into silence, and no one spoke.

Akamichi Nofu, sitting at the top, took a deep breath and then said, "Please let Ishigami Hara Jōnin speak; he has a proposal to make."

Everyone looked at Ishigami Hara, who stood up, glanced around, nodded slightly, and smiled.

"I propose to re-elect the Hokage."

There was a moment of silence, followed by an uproar, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Many knew that something significant might occur at this Jōnin meeting, but they never imagined it would involve the Hokage, a matter of immense consequence.

"Re-elect the Hokage? Isn't it a bad idea to do this now?" someone spoke up, pointing out that even if Konoha held an advantage in the war, changing the Hokage at this time would inevitably cause problems.

This was a reasonable concern, and most would agree.

However, some in the hall remained silent, deep in thought.

When these words came from Ishigami Hara's mouth, people couldn't help but wonder if he had any conflicts with the Hokage.

With a bit of thought, it became clear that if this situation wasn't handled carefully, it could destabilize the village.

This Jōnin meeting had notable absences, as Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had not attended. Many were shocked when they thought of Ishigami Hara's proposal.

Looking up, they saw that Akamichi Torifu and others, especially the two advisors, remained silent, with the advisors slightly closing their eyes, never speaking from the start.

"Yes, it's not in the village's best interest to elect a new Hokage at this time."

"Ishigami Hara, why propose electing a Hokage now? Is there something wrong with the Third Hokage?"

"Yes, is there any misunderstanding here?"

Many shared these concerns, but at that moment, the representative of the Uchiha clan stood up and said loudly, "I support Jōnin Ishigami Hara's proposal."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the hall instantly froze.
