363. New Hokage

No one knew what to say about this.

"Where is Sarutobi-sensei?" Jiraiya asked.

Alexander didn't reply. The man was currently in prison, awaiting his public trial with Danzo.

"We already have the nod from the Daimyo, I also gave him the approval, now all that remains is all of your clans," Minato spoke.

All the clan heads looked at each other. The first ones to speak in favor were the heads of Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Nara clan.

"Well, if Lord Hokage wants to quit, then I can't think of anyone else suitable for being the Hokage. Unless Lord Jiraiya wants to become Hokage but even then, Lord Sage will outclass him in every way," Shikaku said in his tired voice.

"Damn right, I need to complete my research and launch my new book, The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi may have commercially failed but this one will be a hit." Jiraiya shamelessly announced.

"What is the name of the new book?" Choza Akamichi, head of the Akimichi clan asked.

"Hahahaaaa, it is simple and easy to remember. It's called Icha Icha Paradise(Translates to 'Make Out Paradise')." Jiraiya revealed.

*Cough*

"I think we are derailing from the main topic," Minato reminded everyone.

"Lord Sage has the support of the Akimichi clan," Choza announced.

Following him, Inoichi Yamanaka also agreed, "Lord Sage has Yamanaka clan's support."

"Hatake Clan supports you"

"You have Aburame Clans support"

"Inuzuka Clan supports you"

Now, the Uchiha and Hyuga clans remain. Though at this point, even if they didn't agree, Alexander would still become the Hokage.

Hiashi Hyuga then spoke, "You are a sage from an era when Hyuga and Uchiha clans didn't even exist. If you become the Hokage, I feel you won't be leaning to any particular side or clan."

"Uchiha clan will support Lord Sage," Fugaku also added.

~For now, the next Hokage will be an Uchiha, no matter what.~

Minato nodded, all of them had agreed to let Alexander become the Hokage, "So, let's announce the new Hokage to the whole village..."

"Before that, I need to tell you all something. Shisui, come in," Alexander interrupted Minato.

Shisui quickly entered with Itachi following behind. Everyone was interested in knowing what the two boys had done.

"Show them," Alexander instructed.

Shisui untied his bandages and showed his missing eye. Everyone gawked at the scene.

"What happened to you, Shisui Uchiha?" Fugaku quickly asked.

Alexander spoke before Shisui, "Let me tell you all something, yesterday..."

Alexander told them about all the things Danzo had been doing behind the back of the village. And that he was doing it with full freedom given by the Third Hokage.

"Yes, Danzo is a very unstable person. Even I was looking for ways to deal with him," Minato added.

"This is why I have arrested Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi. They will be publicly trailed where I will tell you all many more things the two have done." Alexander informed them.

Fugaku Uchiha was pissed right now, Alexander could only imagine what the man would feel when he tells them Danzo's plans for Uchiha Clan.

"But, I am going to raid the root base right now, tell me if any of you want to join me and see the horrors he has committed with your own eyes." He asked.

None of them denied it.

...

Alexander led them all into the Root hideout. It went deep underground and after just entering they felt creeped out.

Many Root Ninjas tried to attack but all of them were simply slapped away by Alexander.

Most of the Clan heads knew about Root's existence but didn't know how big it was or how it operated.

Alexander saw Sakumo Hatake antagonizing a Root ninja to spill the beans but the guy became paralyzed.

"Don't, you can't make them speak. A cursed seal has been imprinted on the back of their tongues by Danzō, which when activated, would paralyze their entire body if they tried to speak anything about Danzō or the organization, rendering them unable to speak or move." He explained.

Alexander walked to the man and used his powers to cancel out the connection between the seal and the chakra, which left the seal useless.

They kept one walking in and reached a place with many tanks filled with water and many people inside, some of them were even kids. He noticed each of them had a pure white body part.

"These must be his test subjects on whom he tested implanting Hashirama's cells. Sadly, all these are dead." Alexander made an observation.

Meanwhile, the clan heads were shocked by the sheer size of the base.

"To think that the taxes given by whole Konoha were used for such things." Hiashi Hyuga exclaimed.

"And the third Hokage didn't even consider this important enough to be told to us. We have been kept in the shadows for so long. Who knows what other horrors he has committed that Lord Sage will announce today." Inoichi Yamanaka added.

*Zip*

A noise came and a large man appeared close to Alexander. Dobby walked up to Alexander and whispered something to Alexander's ears. It made him visibly mad, making everyone else wonder what it was.

Then suddenly another man popped out of thin air and walked to Alexander in a brash manner, "Haha, Alex, come out with me, the festival is so fun, those little beasts are too fun to be around. Each of them is making the village fall in love with them with their funny acts."

All the clan heads recognized the man with shock-filled eyes. They all had thought Alexander was joking when he said he was friends with Daimyo of Wind Country, but it seems they really were friends and very good ones at that.

Alexander looked back at everyone, "Okay, this is it. I have already captured all the Root ninjas, let's go back now, the festival must have already started."

...

Currently, he sat with a lot of people in the Konoha Ninja Academy's grounds. A big stage was set there for the tailed beasts to do their play, directed by Amy.

They were all currently reenacting Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs. Kokuo was acting as snow white because he was the whitest, Amy was acting as the prince.

Kurama was the queen because everyone was still a bit salty with him. The other seven were acting as dwarfs. Berry was acting as birds after he learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Hats was the support staff, responsible for changing the background scenes with his chaotic magic.

All in all, it turned out to be very funny. They were clumsy and their small form factor with cosplays made them look very cute. Kurama was the best actor as he was supposed to act cocky and it was natural for him.

In the end, Amy gave Kokuo a kiss and he woke up in his Snow White dress. After that, they danced to a song and bowed to the audience.

"Hahaha, what a fun show, Lord Sage," the third Raikage laughed loudly. No one was expecting him to truly come but he did.

He was extremely pleased that the tailed beasts were truly free and were not treated as weapons. And he also liked to see them the way they were right now, making him realize that every page has two sides, the world had only seen one side of the tailed beasts.

"I'm glad you liked it, A. Be sure to enjoy this evening, the drinks are on me. Take Ragnarok with you, grab some drinks and come near Hokage building, I have an announcement to make." He replied and patted his shoulder.

Soon, Raikage and Ragnarok went to a bar with arms on each other's shoulders like they were long lost buddies. To the knowledgeable people of Konoha, it was a crazy sight. The Daimyo of Wind Country and Raikage of Kumo being buddies.

Alexander signaled to Dobby to announce around the village for everyone to come to the Hokage building. Except for the children.

~*Sigh* Time for serious business~
