Chapter 110 The two parties who have no chance of becoming Hokage

A few days later, Fugaku walked out of the Hokage Building with a gloomy expression.

In the high-level meeting to nominate the Fourth Hokage, the Third Hokage recommended Namikaze Minato, Assistant Danzo recommended Orochimaru, and several other advisors also recommended their favorite ninjas.

Only Uchiha was not even nominated, which made Uchiha Fugaku very unhappy.

He knew that Uchiha's hope of running for the Fourth Hokage was very slim, but it was too much to not give him a chance to run.

Moreover, this is not the first time that Uchiha has missed the nomination.

Since Madara Uchiha failed to run for Hokage, Uchiha has never been nominated for Hokage again, and now nearly fifty years have passed.

After returning to the Uchiha clan, Fugaku announced the matter at the meeting at Nanga Shrine.

After hearing that Uchiha had not been nominated for the Hokage nomination, the Uchiha present suddenly boiled. All kinds of complaints about the unfairness of the top officials came one after another. They also could not accept this powerless fact.

But the reality is this. Uchiha is not even qualified to run for Hokage, let alone become Hokage.

No matter what Uchiha said, there were still a large family with more than a dozen jounin and hundreds of elite ninjas. In terms of strength, it was by no means inferior to any other family. The actions of the top leaders were really too much.

"Captain Fugaku, what the senior management has done is too much, we must make them pay the price!"

"Captain Fugaku, if we let one of the candidates have an accident, will he be eligible to run for Hokage?"

After such words suddenly came out from the crowd, all Uchiha were stunned and looked at the speaker.

Uchiha thought about running for Hokage and once publicly challenged the senior officials, but the Uchiha elder was eventually imprisoned by the second Hokage.

But the idea of ​​attacking the Hokage candidate had never occurred to them.

The arrogance of being Uchiha does not allow them to plot conspiracies in the dark. They prefer to face the enemy head-on and use their strength to win the battle openly.

Fugaku glanced at the Uchiha who spoke, and said with a serious face: "The ninjas in the village are all our companions. We Uchiha want to become Hokage in an upright manner, and we must not engage in such tricks."

At this time, this Uchiha whispered:

"But we didn't get nominated. If the position of Hokage is always held by people from the Senju family, we will never be able to become Hokage. They won't even give us a chance."

Fugaku's expression changed, but he still scolded him sternly.

The speaker has no intention of listening, but the words of this Uchiha have made many Uchiha see new hope. If they can't run to become Hokage, can they find another way to launch a coup against high-level officials.

Coup became Hokage and was also Hokage.

However, the strength of the Hokage family is too strong now. Even if they have ideas, they are just ideas and it is difficult to put them into action.

Shisui in the corner was quietly listening to the content of the clan meeting.

His face seemed expressionless, but in his heart he remembered what Byakuya once said, being close to the Hokage would make Uchiha unlucky, and sooner or later the Uchiha would perish because of the Hokage.

He didn't know whether Uchiha would perish because of Naruto.

But the current clan members do have bad thoughts because of the position of Hokage, and things are developing in the direction predicted by Bai Ye, which makes him very panicked, but he is powerless.

…

A few days later, the Hokage Building convened a meeting of all Jonin to start the campaign for the Fourth Hokage.

There are only two ninjas who are qualified to run for Hokage. One is Namikaze Minato who has achieved great feats in the Iwagakure War, and the other is Cold Lord Orochimaru who has achieved extraordinary feats in the Battle of Mount Kikyo.

Of the two remaining people who were eligible to participate, Jiraiya voluntarily gave up the campaign, while Tsunade went out and left the village.

After briefly introducing himself, the Fourth Hokage campaign officially began.

Just when the Konoha Jonin thought that the competition between Orochimaru and Namikaze Minato would be very fierce or even deadlocked, the voting results exceeded everyone's expectations.

Namikaze Minato defeated Orochimaru with an almost crushing advantage and became the fourth Hokage of Konoha.

This result surprised all the ninjas present. After all, although Orochimaru was aloof, he was actually quite popular in the village and was a good boss who was capable and responsible.

After his defeat, Orochimaru walked off the rostrum expressionlessly, turned around and walked towards the root base.

Danzo on the side looked hard at Namikaze Minato and the Third Hokage on the stage, then followed Orochimaru and disappeared into the crowd.

After entering the root base, Orochimaru said nothing.

As if being indifferent to the position of Hokage was not as important as the experiment he was about to conduct.

Danzo glanced at Orochimaru and said rather dissatisfied:

"Orochimaru, Hiruzen must have manipulated the voting results. With your resume, you can't be as far behind in the number of votes as Namikaze Minato. He deliberately didn't let you become Hokage."

"How could that brat Minato Namikaze be a good Hokage? In the end, it wasn't him, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who continued to exercise the power of Hokage under the pretext of assisting the Fourth Generation."

After listening to Danzo's words, Orochimaru silently put down the test tube.

He was far from as expressive as he looked on the inside. He was very angry about his failure in running for Hokage, but he was not used to showing all his thoughts on his face.

"I'm actually not interested in the position of Hokage, but the teacher did go a bit too far this time."

Orochimaru's idea is very simple, he can not give up the position of Hokage, but you can't deny it, or use some dishonorable means to win.

After a pause, Orochimaru continued:

"I will forgive Sandaime-sensei this time, but Danzo-sama, I think Namikaze Minato is quite ambitious, and he will not let his teacher control him obediently."

"It would be interesting if the teacher's hand-picked successor also became his political enemy."

Orochimaru seemed dismissive of the position of Hokage, but Danzo was different.

The reason why he supports Orochimaru's candidacy for Hokage is because Orochimaru is not interested in the position of Hokage. After being elected as Hokage, he also became Hokage in disguise.

He had a hundred ways to make Orochimaru obediently become a stamping machine, but unfortunately the campaign failed.

Danzo, who was in a depressed mood, ignored the topic of Hokage, looked at the experimental subjects around him, and said: "Orochimaru, how is the progress of the wood escape experiment? Are there any successful experimental subjects?"

Orochimaru stuck out his forked tongue, then shook his head and said: "The phagocytic ability of Hashirama cells is too strong. There is currently no experimental body that can carry Hashirama cells. A lot of experiments are still needed."

"Generally speaking, there is too much Yang Escape power in Hashirama's cells, so Yin Escape is needed to neutralize it..."

Danzo didn't want to hear the experimental data and asked directly: "How long will it take? If Sarutobi finds out, he will have another excuse to target us."

"Conduct three more experiments at most, and we will have the final results. Go find some more laboratories."

Orochimaru said expressionlessly, he didn't care about Danzo's words, he only cared about the materials and funds for the experiment.
