At the competition venue.

Hizashi, who was standing next to Moonlight Hayate, naturally heard Zephyr's speech.

Ever since I was young, no one has ever spoken out for the separation of the Hinata family.

No one thought about changing the fate of the caged bird in the separation.

It’s Japanese style!

It was him who took the initiative to find himself.

He took the initiative to design all this for himself.

And that chakra fruit, he could have given it to Uchiha Kiyoshi, Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Itachi...

He could have given it to anyone in the Uchiha clan to enhance the Uchiha clan's combat power.

But, he didn't!

Instead, he gave himself the chakra fruit, giving himself the power to defeat Nizu!

"Without Zephyr, not only would I not be able to get rid of the Caged Bird Curse Seal, but even Neji would not be able to grow freely."

"Japanese wind..."

"Thank you."

Hizashi turned in one direction and stared at Zefeng standing on the rostrum.

My heart is filled with gratitude to him.

And secretly swore in my heart.

No matter what He Feng decides from now on, I will support him wholeheartedly!

As for the top management of Konoha, headed by Hiruzen, they all slumped on their chairs.

Looking at the back of the breeze that is proud of the spring breeze.

Complicated feelings.

What happens next is relatively simple.

Both Konoha's public opinion and Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, supported Zephyr's political philosophy.

Especially those who are separated from the Hyuga family.

After getting rid of the control of the caged bird, he also recognized the abilities of Zefeng, the captain of the Konoha Police Force.

As Hizashi who defeated the clan leader Hizu, he also became the favorite of the branch family.

They still hope that Hizashi, the representative of the branch, will lead the future of the branch.

in other words……

After being completely controlled by Ze Feng.

The division of the family became the division of the day.

And he, who helped Hizashi deal with Neci's caged bird, naturally became Hizashi's most supportive person.

In addition, the Hyuga clan has many more branch members than the clan.

After this wave of operations, it was equivalent to directly attracting a large number of people from the Hyuga team who had never wanted to participate in Konoha politics.

I mentioned to Hizashi before that I hope people from the Hyuga clan can join the police department.

It is also driven by daily differences and is progressing steadily.

In addition, other villagers in the village have gradually changed their stereotypes about the police department.

Of course, this didn't change overnight.

But ever since Hefeng became the deputy captain of the Police Department, he has slowly influenced the entire Konoha with various slogans, various efforts, and various reforms.

So far, less than half a year has passed.

Expose the darkness of the root organization, quell the war, and make Zefeng famous in Konoha.

Coupled with the political concept of equality for all created by the Soubun incident, it directly pushed the prestige of the Japanese style to the forefront throughout Konoha.

By the time Sarutobi Hiruzen reacted, there were already voices in the village supporting Zefeng as the next Hokage.

But this is nothing surprising.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was the Third Hokage, there were voices of dissatisfaction with him in Konoha because of the Third Ninja War.

Due to the fermentation of this voice, he recommended Namikaze Minato.

Later, on the night of the Nine-Tails Troubles, Namikaze Minato died, and he returned to the position of Hokage.

But he has not made any political achievements in these years.

On the contrary, it was Zephyr who did many good things for Konoha in a vigorous and resolute way.

It was recognized by everyone.

Today's Sarutobi Hiruzen is both surprised by Zefeng's various methods and feels helpless.

No matter how much you don't want to admit it or accept it.

They all have to admit it.

Today, Zephyr, and even the entire Uchiha clan, is a force that cannot be defeated in Konoha.

Plus the addition of the Hyuga Branch Family.

He was even able to compete with the top management of Konoha led by him.

And something even more detrimental to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Because of the killing of the Fourth Raikage and the defeat of Kumo Hidden Village.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire promised to reward Zephyr.

"Creating public opinion in the village is Zefeng's specialty."

"This meeting with the daimyo may be used by him to make a big fuss."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paced back and forth in the Hokage's office.

And today is the day when the Daimyo of the Land of Fire will summon Zephyr.

Even if he wanted to stop it, he couldn't do anything.

Crunch.

Soon, the door to the Hokage's office was pushed open by an ANBU ninja.

"Third Hokage-sama, Zephyr is here." The ANBU ninja whispered softly, reporting to Hiruzen.

And on his right side, it was Zefeng's figure that appeared.

"You're here, Zephyr."

Hiruzen took a deep breath from his pipe and exhaled a long stream of smoke.

I suppressed my thoughts for the time being.

"Yeah." Zephyr nodded and strode into Hiruzen's office, "I'm really nervous when I think about meeting the Daimyo of the Fire Country."

Hiruzen and Zephyr looked at each other.

In his heart, he didn't think that Zephyr would be nervous when he saw the daimyo.

With a gentle personality.

It’s hard to imagine that the word nervousness is in his dictionary of life.

On the contrary, I felt a little nervous in my heart.

Logically speaking, it is normal for the hero who helped put down the war to accept an interview from the daimyo.

Under normal circumstances, there is no need for the Hokage to accompany you.

But I don’t know why, but when I think of Zefeng going to meet the Daimyo of the Fire Country.

There will be a kind of uneasiness in his heart.

Think about it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was still determined.

Go with Zefeng to meet the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

To avoid any trouble.

that's all.

After Zephyr came to his office, Hiruzen called several ANBU ninjas to accompany him.

Depart for the daimyo's mansion.

On the way, Hiruzen did not forget to remind Zefeng not to talk nonsense when he saw the Daimyo of the Land of Fire later.
