Chapter 165: Hokage Election Ends

Uchiha clan.

The elite members of the Uchiha clan almost all gathered at a small shrine beside the Nanga River.

Nanga Shrine has been built for nearly two hundred years. It is an important meeting place for the Uchiha clan. The atmosphere is very hot now.

Two pairs of Mangekyō!

In the past, I would never dare to think about it!

In the past, if there were two pairs of Mangekyō, the Uchiha would dare to ride on Sarutobi Hiruzen's head and act arrogantly!

Hokage, how many thousands of ninjas does he have?

In that case, the Hokage would act according to the Uchiha's face.

Now, Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation is a bit high, low-key, low-key.

Uchiha Fugaku, who was sitting in the main seat, received the hot eyes of the clan members, as if they wanted to engrave Fugaku's eyes in their hearts.

Uchiha Fugaku silently pulled his clothes to wrap himself more tightly.

"Everyone is here, take a seat. Shisui, sit next to me."

"Yes, clan leader."

Uchiha Shisui sat near Uchiha Fugaku.

The Uchiha elite who was squeezed away was not angry at all, but instead squeezed other Uchiha clan members triumphantly.

"There are three main things to hold the clan meeting today. The first thing is that Shisui and I have both opened the Mangekyō Sharingan."

The scarlet Sharingan of the Uchiha clan suddenly lit up, emitting a strange and cold red light, scanning Uchiha Fugaku and Shisui from side to side.

This is a unique celebration ceremony of the Uchiha clan, which is used to express their celebration and blessings to each other, but Shisui seems a little unaccustomed to it, and his whole body is a little stiff.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Shisui diverting some of his attention and breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he was facing the hot gazes of so many Sharingans, he felt a little scalp tingling.

"The second thing is that the Third Hokage will retire and the Fourth Hokage will be elected."

"Then can Fugaku participate in the Fourth Hokage election?"

Uchiha elder Uchiha Ryoji said with shining eyes.

"Of course! I think Fugaku has a great chance!"

However, another elder with white hair and beard poured cold water directly, "The Hokage election depends on the number of votes! Although we have a high proportion of Uchiha jonin, the number of jonin is not much compared with the entire Konoha."

"Who will vote for us except our own clan members?!"

Uchiha Ryoji was furious and indignant about this.

"This is unfair! Our Uchiha jonin can beat two by one, why can't it be counted as two votes? No, it should be counted as three votes!"

"You are so powerful, why don't you count it as one hundred votes!"

Fugaku stretched out his hand and slapped it hard on the table.

Bang!

After the huge noise, the two elders snorted coldly and fell silent with a sour face.

We still have to give face to Fugaku. Even if we don't give face to the clan leader, we have to give face to the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"The third thing is about Uchiha Obito..."

Uchiha Fugaku paused, then said:

"I will participate in this Hokage election, but this election is too sudden, and the Uchiha is still not well prepared. My chances of being elected Hokage are very small."

The Uchiha clan nodded in agreement.

The Uchiha clan is indeed very powerful now, but the preparation for the election of Hokage is not to say that they were caught off guard, but that they were unprepared.

Because in the past Konoha, no one believed that Uchiha could be successful in the election of Hokage, including Uchiha himself.

"Uchiha Obito is a disciple of Minato Namikaze. If Minato Namikaze becomes the fourth Hokage, there will be members of the Uchiha clan who will enter the master-disciple inheritance system of Hokage."

"In addition, the Uchiha clan is willing to spend time preparing, and the fifth Hokage will definitely be Uchiha Obito!"

"So, if I have no chance of success this time, then the Uchiha will fully support Minato!"

"Yes, clan leader!"

Then, dozens of pairs of excited Sharingan looked at Obito.

"Hey, why did it happen to me?"

Uchiha Obito originally wanted to play a supporting role, but he didn't expect to become the protagonist.

"Okay, okay..."

Uchiha Setsuna nodded happily. He was very optimistic about Uchiha Obito and felt that Obito had the potential of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

These days, he has been trying to get closer to Obito, but Obito is not interested in him.

But fortunately, he found Obito's weakness, which is that he is too kind.

So, Uchiha Setsuna would wait on the road every day, waiting for Obito to help him cross the road, and then he would take the opportunity to tell his thoughts.

…

The Hokage election was held soon.

Minato's reputation was far ahead of others, because Sarutobi Hiruzen pushed all this behind the scenes.

It can be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen used his reputation to cheer for Minato.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that what he did would cause certain damage to Konoha, just like his disciple Orochimaru would definitely be harmed.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen still acted without hesitation, because he was sure that it would be beneficial to the village.

As long as it was beneficial to the village, he would do it, even if it would cause dissatisfaction to others.

At the Hokage election ceremony, Namikaze Minato had the highest number of votes.

Because Namikaze Minato was the successor selected by the Third Hokage, everyone had to give the Third Hokage a face.

You give a face, I give a face, Namikaze Minato successfully selected the Fourth Hokage.

Although some people were dissatisfied with this result, they could only bear it under the pressure of the Third Hokage.

Today, Minato Namikaze is the "quasi-fourth-generation Hokage".

For a more formal appointment, it is necessary to communicate with the daimyo, and then Minato Namikaze can officially succeed to the fourth-generation Hokage under the greeting of the envoy sent by the daimyo.

However, the news that Minato Namikaze successfully selected the fourth-generation Hokage was announced first, so that everyone can get familiar with it first.

Almost at the same time, the announcement that Minato Namikaze selected the fourth-generation Hokage spread to the entire Konoha and the entire ninja world.

"What? If it weren't for the third-generation Hokage, that old man would always be worried about the Nine-Tails and would not let me go out at all. I could also make military achievements, participate in the Hokage selection, and become a Hokage."

Looking at the angry face of the little pepper with his hands on his hips looking at himself, Minato Namikaze thought of something and his face turned red.

"Are you listening to me!"

"Kushina, you said you would marry me when I became Hokage, and now I have done this."

Kushina's face turned red when she heard Minato's words, but she still took the initiative to grab Minato Namikaze's palm.

Kushina blinked her eyes, looked at her lover, and smiled happily.

"Then let's get married."

The two looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly laughed together, everything was self-evident.

Whether it was Minato or Kushina, their feelings for each other were confirmed.
