Chapter 122 Jiraiya, Asuma gives up the election!
"Jiraiya, Tsunade."
"I don't think it will be so easy to hand power to you in this election!"
"Of course, if you can get the power through your own means."
"I surrender!"
Orochimaru's voice still echoed in Tsunade's ears.
As expected, these Konoha high-ranking officials are still...
Tsunade was a little disappointed though.
but……
"My target isn't actually the Hokage!"
"As everyone knows, I have been carrying out missions outside all the time. I have more abilities in this area."
"So, I give up the Hokage election and nominate Tsunade to be the Hokage!"
At this moment, Jiraiya's loud voice rang out.
He simply took out a piece of paper, wrote Tsunade's name on it, and put it in the voting box.
For a moment, the scene became quiet.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting on the high platform, grabbed the armrests of the chair tightly and forced himself to calm down.
Shimura Danzo's expression could not hide his gloom.
As for Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, they were a little confused.
This seems to be somewhat different from what they discussed before!
Of course, the reason why these four people have not taken any action yet is very simple.
After all, Jiraiya gave up, and there were two others...
At this time, Uchiha Fugaku also came to the podium.
"I won't say anything more."
"Everyone has seen how our Uchiha have behaved in the village recently."
"If I become Hokage, then the Uchiha will definitely become the strongest shield protecting Konoha!"
"At the same time, it will become Konoha's strongest spear of attack!"
"As the head of Konoha's Guard Department, I know exactly what the village needs right now."
"At the same time, after being in office for so many years, I also understand the entire Konoha!"
"Moreover, we Uchiha are one of the original ninja families that established Konoha Ninja Village. Please believe in our feelings for Konoha!"
Uchiha Fugaku didn't say much, but every word he said hit the mark.
strength!
identity!
idea!
In just two minutes, Uchiha Fugaku finished his speech and returned to his seat.
The next one is Tsunade.
Tsunade walked onto the stage, her expression calm.
"Everyone of Konoha, my philosophy is also very simple!"
"I have participated in several ninja wars..."
……
Tsunade's speech is going to be a little longer.
It starts with the Ninja World War and ends with his thoughts about the village...
At the same time, the importance of medical ninjas in the ninja team and the future development of Konoha were briefly explained.
The last one to come on stage was Asuma Sarutobi.
Asuma stood at the podium and took a deep breath.
"In fact, it's not my own idea that I can stand in this position."
"As a member of Konoha, I naturally want to become Hokage!"
"But I am well aware of my own strength, qualifications, and abilities..."
“And far behind the other three candidates.”
"Master Jiraiya, if you choose to give up your candidacy, why should I still be standing here!?"
"Just because I'm the Sandaime Hokage's son?!"
"This identity has brought me a lot of glory and made me confident that I can sit in that position in the future."
"But now I see clearly."
"To become a Hokage is not just to sit in that position and enjoy the power and glory given to me by the village."
"At the same time, you also need to shoulder the glory and rise and fall of the entire village."
"During this time, I became the guiding jonin of Team 10."
“I’ve seen how hard these kids work and how quickly they’ve grown!”
"Compared to the position of Hokage, I would rather be the principal of Konoha Ninja School. Now that my father is old, I would like to share this part of the responsibility!"
"So, I will also withdraw from the election and cast my vote for Minister Uchiha Fugaku!"
After saying this, Asuma Sarutobi directly wrote down Uchiha Fugaku's name and put it in the ballot box.
For a moment, the scene became a little strange.
The Hokage election, which was once very enthusiastic, is now too quiet.
Jiraiya and Asuma Sarutobi's resignation reduced the original four people to the current two.
Uchiha Fugaku and Tsunade!
"Naruto, this is..."
Sasuke was also stunned at this time.
Now his father and Lady Tsunade are still on the election stage, but... why did things develop like this! ?
"Today's election might be a little interesting!"
"Sasuke, we..."
Naruto leaned close to Sasuke's ear and whispered something to him.
"This...but we..."
"I see……"
Sasuke didn't say much, but nodded seriously.
Then he left his position.
Naruto, on the other hand, retreated a certain distance.
"Did you arrange this matter, sir?!"
Naruto spoke quietly.
"I don't have the means to influence Uchiha Fugaku."
"I just came into contact with Asuma."
An ordinary ninja standing next to Naruto spoke calmly.
"Then...it seems someone else has taken action."
"I just don't know who could change the will of the Uchiha clan leader in just one night."
Naruto spoke again.
"Is that so?"
"Then this matter is not something I need to worry about."
"Now, I actually hope that Uchiha Fugaku can become the Hokage!"
"Then, seeing Tsunade and Jiraiya lose will make me somewhat happy!"
The ninja [Orochimaru] pulled the corner of his mouth and subconsciously wanted to lick his tongue.
"Your Excellency, you are really..."
Naruto shook his head helplessly.
Orochimaru...is one of the few sober people in the Naruto world.
Because of this, Naruto now has no idea what Orochimaru wants to do.
Because, this guy might directly start the Konoha collapse plan in the next moment.
So... well... it's better for Orochimaru not to take action.
At this time, the other members of the Twelve Little Ones had also gathered around Naruto.
"Naruto, is there anything you need us to do?"
"Yeah Naruto, there haven't been any missions lately. I went to catch cats yesterday."
"You still have cat scratches, I was weeding yesterday..."
……
Several people started chattering.
I have to say, this kind of enthusiasm... is only possessed by young people.
"Next, we are going to do something big!"
"By the time……"
Naruto began to talk about his plan.
No matter what problems may arise next, as long as they are here, nothing will go wrong...
