Chapter 123 Tsunade is elected, and changes occur suddenly!
Next, the normal voting process will follow.
Because Asuma and Jiraiya gave up, the only remaining candidates are Tsunade and Uchiha Fugaku.
However, neither of these two people is Sarutobi Hiruzen's best choice.
Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen prefers Tsunade.
First of all, Tsunade had no family support, and the Senju clan had already dispersed to various parts of the village long ago.
In fact, the name of Thousand Hands no longer exists.
At the same time, no matter what, Tsunade is still his disciple, so it is naturally more convenient for her to do some things.
Finally... although the Uchiha favors him,... the Uchiha is still not to the extent that Sarutobi Hiruzen can be completely assured. [In short, the Uchiha is not easy to control]
As the ninjas threw their votes into the box one by one, Sarutobi Hiruzen was basically certain that this election was beyond his control.
At this time, Asuma Sarutobi still had no intention of coming over to explain to him.
He just stood among the ninja team, like an ordinary ninja.
Danzo's expression wasn't very good either.
It seems that this is not what he wants to see...
"Now, the voting is closed."
"Next, we will complete the counting of the bills in the presence of Konoha's elders and the Fire Country Daimyo!"
Several ninjas carried the box onto the platform.
"haha……"
"Can I participate too!?"
At this moment, Daimyo looked like an old naughty boy, with a happy smile on his face.
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed again.
Who said this...
When he looked over, he saw a strange ninja.
And this ninja even smiled at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
That smile...
"Hokage, open the box now."
"I'm looking forward to seeing who your Godaime Hokage will be this time!"
"In fact, compared to me personally, it seems difficult to choose between Uchiha Fugaku and Tsunade."
The daimyo's voice brought Sarutobi Hiruzen back from his thoughts.
"it is good."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and opened the box.
Soon, the tickets were taken out one by one.
Because there are only two people, the subsequent statistical work is very simple.
Looking at the bills of Uchiha Fugaku and Tsunade, they are of similar height.
This... for the Uchiha, can be said to be the greatest victory ever.
After all, the Uchiha's status in the village was previously at a level where they were suppressed by the higher-ups and feared and hated by the common people.
"Mr. Zero!"
At this time, Uchiha Fugaku stood in his place.
But suddenly I felt a gaze.
Turning slightly, he saw Uchiha Zero [Naruto's Shadow Clone] standing not far away.
A cold aura emanated from Uchiha Zero, who was wearing a mask.
Even Uchiha Fugaku had no doubt at all.
If Uchiha Zero attacked him, he would be killed.
Moreover, only Uchiha Fugaku could feel this murderous aura.
but……
why?
Uchiha Fugaku couldn't understand the murderous aura that Uchiha Zero suddenly exuded towards him.
"Why!?"
"Have you forgotten the previous plan?"
"Or what made you change your mind? "
A voice suddenly exploded in Uchiha Fugaku's ears.
He was sure that this was Uchiha Zero's voice.
but……
Is this some secret technique?!
"The path we took before was wrong!"
"If the ninja world wants to achieve true peace, it should follow the path that Uchiha Madara-sama took."
Uchiha Fugaku spoke in a low voice.
He was not sure whether Uchiha Zero could hear him, but now he could only try.
"Uchiha Madara!?"
Naruto was a little dumbfounded at this point.
Now Uchiha Madara's bones are cold.
How could it suddenly affect Uchiha Fugaku's decision?
and……
Uchiha Zero [Naruto] turned around and disappeared on the spot.
Things were a little weird, so Naruto decided not to take any action for now.
Let's see what the situation is.
At this point, the statistics are also over.
"In this election, a total of 1003 ninjas voted."
"Among them, there are 102 jonin, 600 chunins, and 301 genins!"
"Now announcing the results, Tsunade has 521 votes!"
"Uchiha Fugaku, 482 votes!"
"The fifth Hokage will be Lady Tsunade, and the inauguration speech will be held in three days."
"Next, we will focus on those who have been working diligently for the village until the Sandaime Hokage takes the stage to give his speech."
"At the same time, this flame of Hokage will be passed on to the next Hokage."
Utane Koharu took the result and told it loudly to all the ninjas.
"We're almost there, and we Uchiha will have a Hokage!"
"Yes, if Tsunade hadn't suddenly returned to the village, perhaps the position of Hokage would have belonged to us Uchiha!"
"It seems that the top management still prefers Tsunade..."
The Uchiha ninjas were somewhat dissatisfied and felt regretful...
However, there was a look of confidence in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes.
At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also stepped forward.
"Tsunade is the head of Konoha's medical department, whether it's getting along with everyone in the village or fighting outside."
“They all performed very well.”
"Next, we will do our best to assist Tsunade in getting familiar with the affairs of the village as soon as possible."
"at the same time……"
"Sandaime Hokage, are you planning to continue interfering in the village's internal affairs? Don't you want to give the power of Hokage to Godaime Hokage?!"
"Just like when the Yondaime-sama was in power?!"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech.
There was also a moment of silence at the scene.
The ninja's words were clearly heard by everyone.
There was no trace of anger on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.
"The affairs of the village are quite complicated. When Tsunade returns to the village..."
"You're looking for so many excuses, aren't you just looking for the power of Hokage?"
"It's so funny! He has been in power for the longest time, but he made Konoha so weak!"
"Yeah, is this the power of the strongest Hokage!?"
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could continue speaking, several more voices were heard.
At this time, Naruto, who heard these voices, was also ready to fight.
It seems that someone can't help but take action.
The following words made Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly gloomy.
As the Hokage of Konoha, he has always been fighting for Konoha.
Now, this...
"who are you?!"
Only then did Sarutobi Hiruzen see clearly the ninjas who had just spoken, and he had no impression of them at all.
They...are not ninjas from the village? !
"We just heard that the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha was willing to die for the village."
"Even at such an old age, I still want to continue to contribute to the village."
"I was really looking forward to it, so I came to take a look!"
The ninja said as he raised his hand and formed a seal.
At the same time, ninjas in several other locations also began to form hand seals.
In just a moment, the election center was separated from the outside world.
