Chapter 172 Uchiha enters and the conference room is shocked!

"Minato-senpai?"

Kai thought of the gentle, powerful and nearly perfect Minato, and couldn't help but worry about Sensei Orochimaru.

But he quickly thought of the competition between himself and Kakashi, and laughed again:

"Kakashi! I didn't expect that our teachers would have a youth showdown!"

"Yoshi~ That's awesome!"

Hearing the teacher's words, Kakashi subconsciously glanced at Haneda, and seeing his eyes change slightly, he quickly said:

"How about this, Kai, how about we go have a fight now?"

"Okay, Kakashi."

Kai didn't realize what was wrong. He was afraid that Kakashi would regret it, so he quickly agreed.

"Sorry, Haneda, I may have to keep you waiting for a long time." Kakashi said.

"It's okay. After this is over, let's go train."

Haneda looked at Kakashi who had regained his spirits and smiled.

…………

In the days that followed, Haneda always trained with Kakashi.

His focus began to shift from Lightning Release, Flying Thunder God, and Five Elements Ninjutsu to developing the abilities of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

At the same time, through arrangements with the Uchiha, he could obtain the latest information about the village.

Especially the news about Orochimaru.

Fortunately, Haneda already had a deep enough understanding of the Five Elements Ninjutsu. Although he was not proficient in it, he was familiar with it.

Great progress has been made in attempting chakra fusion.

For example, the fusion of wind style chakra and lightning style chakra, and the burning style chakra formed by fire style chakra and wind style chakra.

Haneda even tried to combine Lightning Release, Wind Release and Fire Release.

Possessing the immortal body's ability to restore pupil power, as long as Haneda doesn't overuse Senluo Wanxiang, he can recover as before overnight.

This undoubtedly accelerated the development of all things in the world.

After two and a half days of training, facing the resentment that was gradually accumulating in the village, the Sandaime Mingzhe announced that he would soon abdicate.

Two and a half days later, the Sandaime was preparing to hold a jonin meeting in the Hokage Building to vote on the candidates.

That is, the candidate to succeed the Fourth Hokage is elected through voting by the jonin.

This process has determined the candidate for Hokage to a certain extent.

After all, those who approve of a candidate will generally approve of him later.

This is a process of taking sides.

Early morning, Hokage Building.

The jonin representing Konoha's middle and high-level leaders walked into the meeting room early.

Kakashi and Minato were walking together, with Jiraiya and Kushina beside them.

As the door to the conference room got closer, Minato couldn't help but become worried, and his face became tense.

Hokage, that had always been his dream.

But now there is a huge peak blocking his way.

Even if you are not knocked down by the height of the peak, the fact that you are likely to fail is still before you.

Noticing the nervous Minato, Kushina rested half of her head on Minato's shoulder and comforted him:

"Don't worry, I've got your back."

"Thank you, Kushina. I will also carry your dream and keep going."

Minato smiled softly as he remembered their childhood dreams.

Jiraiya, who had eaten a mouthful of dog food, coughed a few times and said:

"Don't worry, Minato. With my white-haired boy, the Toad Sage Jiraiya from Myoboku Mountain here, everything will be fine!"

"I'll support you too," Kakashi followed silently.

At this moment, an inharmonious voice was heard.

It was Gai, Dai, and Orochimaru who walked over.

"Minato-senpai, although you are Kakashi's teacher, I believe that Orochimaru-sensei will never lose!"

Kai glanced at Kakashi proudly and said:

"Teacher Orochimaru has served as the commander-in-chief of many battlefields, with numerous military achievements and a great reputation. He is the one that everyone expects!"

As Kai talked about the lines he had memorized from a book, his eyes gradually became excited.

Orochimaru glanced at his disciple and said to Jiraiya:

"I didn't expect you would give up the position of Hokage like Tsunade did."

"Aha, can't you give it to the students, Orochimaru?" Jiraiya said with a kind smile.

Originally he wanted to have a chat with Orochimaru, but Orochimaru took Gai and the others straight to the meeting room.

Dai passed by Minato and said apologetically:

"Although I agree with your philosophy, Orochimaru is my son's teacher. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, my students support me too, so let's just consider that as a offset." Minato said with a gentle smile.

Suddenly, there was a sound of orderly footsteps coming from behind.

Haneda and Fugaku came over with more than 40 Uchiha jonin.

They were dressed in neat black uniforms, and the Uchiha clan emblem on their right arms stood out against the black.

This wild, aloof, and sharp uniform instantly attracted the attention of the entire audience.

This momentum made Danzo, who was watching here secretly, feel his heart beat faster.

When did the Uchiha become so united?

Could it be that the new Uchiha clan leader, Fugaku, wants to run for Hokage? !

What on earth does Uchiha want to do!!

Haneda came to the door of the meeting room and stopped.

The Uchiha jonin behind him stopped in tacit understanding.

Haneda smiled at Minato and said:

"Minato-senpai, I still remember what I said last time."

Minato looked at Haneda and the large group of Uchiha jonin behind him and was very confused.

But he quickly remembered what Haneda had said a few days ago:

"Then you better do your best, Minato-senpai. Kakashi and I will definitely support you in becoming Hokage."

Jiraiya whispered in Minato's ear:

"See, your personality charm is such that even the Uchiha recognizes you."

Through the Nine-Tails' perception ability, Kushina saw Haneda's sincere support for Minato and the friendliness of the Uchiha behind him.

She thought of something and couldn't help but feel happy for Minato.

The Uchiha family, the first family of Konoha now, also supports Minato!

At this time, Haneda spoke again:

"Minato-senpai, I've heard a saying that the one who is recognized by everyone is the Hokage."

"Let's go, the candidate voting is about to begin."

Fugaku echoed, "Minato, you are someone that Haneda recognizes, and I recognize you too."

After that, Fugaku and Haneda took the lead and walked into the meeting room.

In a flash, the three rows of seats that were originally empty were filled within a few seconds.

The Nara clan, the Yamanaka clan, the Akimichi clan...

Even the Hyuga clan, the second largest clan in Konoha, looked at him with surprise.

The Uchiha are so united?

what's the situation!

All the clan leaders turned their attention to the current Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku.

But looking at Fugaku, they shook their heads silently.

Then, his gaze turned to Uchiha Haneda.

This young man has performed exceptionally well since he was young.

During the third war, Haneda captured Rasa alive, ambushed the Fourth Raikage, and almost captured the Fourth Raikage again.

His swordsmanship and lightning escape techniques are well-known throughout the ninja world.

Among them, Chidori, Kirin, and the Lightning Release Chakra mode learned from Kumogakure are all terrifying ninjutsu.

Uchiha's entry even suppressed Minato, Jiraiya and others who entered later to a certain extent.

The Sandaime stared silently at the conference room, looking at the three rows of Uchiha jonin in neat uniforms and sitting upright, and fell into deep thought.
