Chapter 234 Everyone stand up, the undisputed Hokage!

Time passed slowly, and the time for the meeting to start was getting closer and closer.

The Sandaime stepped out from behind the scenes.

He stood at the front of the conference room, looking at the familiar decorations in front of him, and time seemed to have gone back to the past.

The two elders, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu, also came.

They noticed that Danzo hadn't come, glanced at Hiruzen, then looked at each other, and finally sat down silently at the elders' table.

No one spoke in the entire conference room, and everyone was silently waiting for the man to arrive.

tick tick tick ~

The clock hanging on the wall was turning slowly.

Just as the second hand was about to point to the end, two kunai fell in front of the conference room, one on the left and one on the right.

Haneda and Kakashi appeared in the conference room in an instant.

This scene shocked everyone in the conference room.

They knew that Kakashi had learned Flying Thunder God, but they never expected that Haneda could do it too!

Kakashi greeted the Sandaime and sat down, while Haneda sat directly in his seat.

When everyone thought that the Sandaime might attack Haneda, nothing happened.

Kakashi vaguely understood something and smiled at Haneda.

At this time, the Sandaime said:

"Today we are holding a jonin meeting to discuss the election of the new Hokage, the fifth generation."

"I am old and no longer able to handle the affairs of the village. Today I officially announce to everyone that I will resign from the position of Hokage."

"The next step is to vote for the candidates. Those who are interested in running should go on stage and make a speech first."

After saying that, the Sandaime left the podium and sat down on a chair nearby.

He felt his body relaxed and comfortable, but at the same time a feeling of tiredness came over him.

At this time, no one in the conference room stood up and walked onto the stage.

Everyone stared silently in one direction, where Uchiha Haneda was.

Haneda stood up, facing everyone's gaze, and strode to the front of the conference room.

"My name is Uchiha Haneda."

"I came here for only one thing, to become Hokage and make Konoha great again!"

After Haneda said just two sentences, all the Uchiha jonin stood up and applauded.

The Shimura clan reacted quickly, even faster than the Hyuga clan, and as soon as the Uchiha stood up, the clan leader took the lead in standing up and applauding.

Immediately afterwards, Hinata, Hatake, Ino-Shikacho, Aburame, Sarutobi...all the jonin, including the civilian ninjas, stood up.

The Sandaime looked at the scene in front of him and rubbed his eyes subconsciously.

He knew that the voices supporting Haneda would be unprecedented, but he didn't expect that everyone would support Haneda.

It was completely beyond the imagination of the third generation.

Even Haneda was very surprised.

He had already predicted that more than 80 percent of the ninjas in the entire Jonin group would support him.

But I didn’t expect it to be 100%!

But if you think about it, it does make sense.

Haneda had accumulated enough military exploits and reputation during the Third World War, and had a deep relationship with the Fourth Generation.

The Yondaime represents the civilian class, and all civilian jonin naturally have a good impression of Haneda.

As for family ninjas, they need to consider much more than ordinary people. They have to consider the survival and prosperity of the entire family.

For example, the Shimura clan rushed to join the second team in order to show their determination to abandon darkness and join the light.

When the other ninja clans saw that the Hyuga clan, the second largest clan in Konoha, had clearly sided with Haneda, the outcome of the election was already determined.

Naturally, they followed suit without any hesitation.

When the applause ended, Haneda glanced around the conference room and said with a smile:

"It seems that I am the undisputed Hokage."

As soon as Brother Haneda spoke, Asuma in the audience immediately echoed:

"of course!"

"Brother Haneda is the most outstanding ninja in all of Konoha!"

"No one understands Hokage better than Brother Haneda, and no one is more suitable to be Hokage than Brother Haneda!"

Everyone in the conference room looked at Asma strangely.

However, considering the Sandaime's attitude towards Haneda, they immediately understood.

It turned out that Haneda and the Sandaime had already reached a consensus, and this jonin meeting was just a show.

Chief Shimura was the second to agree loudly:

"That's right! Konoha can only be great again if it is led by the naturally kind Uchiha heroes!"

"We, the entire Shimura clan, openly support Master Haneda!!"

Haneda glanced at Chief Shimura and said jokingly:

"The leader of the Root, Danzo Shimura, is also a member of your Shimura clan. Does he support me as well?"

Chief Shimura said without any hesitation:

"The inherently evil old devil Danzo has been expelled from our Shimura clan!!"

"Three years ago, old Danzo escaped from Konoha Prison. On behalf of the Shimura clan, I implore Lord Haneda to order the capture of the fugitive criminal!!"

"Well, well, the Shimura clan's loyalty to Konoha is evident."

Haneda was amused by the Shimura clan's tact, but he would not let them off so easily.

"I heard that a large part of the Root's funding was provided by the Shimura clan, and that old Danzo is now missing..."

Before Haneda finished speaking, Shimura clan leader patted his chest and promised:

"All expenses for capturing the fugitive criminal Danzo will be borne by our Shimura clan!!"

"We, the Shimura clan, are willing to mobilize all our strength to go through fire and water for Master Haneda, no matter what it takes!!!"

After hearing this, the Sandaime couldn't stand the moral integrity of the Shimura clan leader anymore.

He coughed a few times and said:

"Elder Danzo fell seriously ill last night and has asked me for leave."

"His three years of felony convictions have also been pardoned by this old man. He is not a criminal."

Haneda glanced at the Sandaime next to him, thinking about his tact in the morning and Asuma's father-son relationship, and did not pursue the matter further.

Haneda already had a plan in mind for Danzo's plan.

He didn't expect to rely on Konoha's power to arrest Danzo.

Haneda said calmly:

"Sandaime, since I am the only candidate for Hokage, all the jonin have voted unanimously in favor of me."

"Just announce the results directly."

"I, Uchiha Haneda, will succeed as the fifth Hokage!"

The Sandaime shook his head:

"According to the succession rules set by Hashirama-sama, the election of Hokage must also be approved by the villagers, as well as the approval of the Daimyo-sama."

Haneda didn't think much of the villagers' recognition.

But the words "Daimyo-sama" from the Sandaime made him feel a little sick.

Suddenly, an idea came to Haneda's mind, and he smiled:

"That's it, it won't take long."

After the candidates voted, the Sandaime immediately announced that Uchiha Haneda would be the successor to the Fifth Hokage.

Since the war between Konoha and Kumogakure was not completely over, the Sandaime quickly set a time for the villagers to vote.

After three days.

This period of time was used by Haneda to canvass votes and gain approval from the villagers.

Of course, the Sandaime also has his own little thoughts.

Haneda will be very busy in the coming time, so his old friend Danzo can leave Konoha smoothly.

But unknown to the Sandaime, Danzo was planning something big.

He never left Konoha.
