Chapter 178 After the election, inducing Nohara Lin (please subscribe)

"Everyone, today's Jonin meeting is mainly about discussing some matters after the war with you."

More than two hundred jounin, except those who were on missions outside, all the jounin in the village came. After everyone arrived, Sarutobi Hiruzen talked about the jounin meeting.

It seems that all the Kage-level ninjas in Konoha are here except Tsunade who is outside.

There are also many people who have the strength of jounin but cannot come, such as the Uchiha clan or the branch ninjas of the Hyuga clan. It is easy for civilian ninjas or ninjas from small clans to pass the jounin examination, but it is difficult for them from big clans like them. .

Every time I apply, there are no suitable tasks, or I have to wait in line; but this excuse does work, because jounin has to measure many aspects, and the tasks are more difficult or complicated than ordinary B-level tasks.

When Uchiha Yoichi came in just now, he saw Kakashi; in just a few days, this kid actually passed the Jonin test.

But it’s normal to think about it. As long as there is a suitable task, it is not surprising that he can become a jounin in two days; and Kakashi already has the strength of a jounin, and now he has two Magatama Sharingan. Although it will consume his chakra, But in a short period of fighting, the Sharingan was even more powerful to Kakashi.

"Kusu Ninja Village and Taki Ninja Village have decided to send envoys to us to sign a peace agreement. The time is set in half a month. However, there is still no movement from Iwa Ninja Village and Kumo Ninja Village. They neither intend to admit defeat nor sign a peace agreement. Intend"

"Although Kirigakure and Sand Ninja Village are fighting fiercely, Kirigakure Village also has thoughts about us. Recently, many Kirigakure ninjas have appeared on the border between the Country of Waves and our country. Kirigakure has even been seen in the ruins of the Country of Whirlpool. Hidden Ninja."

What Sarutobi Hiruzen said seemed to be very important, but there was basically no chance for jonins like them to interrupt, which is commonly known as 'nonsense'!

But Uchiha Yoichi also understands that after all, Wang Zha will be left to the last.

"There is one last thing, which is basically the most important thing today."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused for a moment when he said this, and after looking around at all the Jonin in the room, he continued: "Some time ago, there were rumors that the village was going to elect the Fourth Hokage. This is not a rumor. The main purpose of the Jonin meeting held today is Because of this incident, let’s start the election of the Fourth Hokage next.”

Wow!

Many Jonin who already knew about it naturally did not react to this matter, but there were also some who only found out about it suddenly. They would definitely be surprised when they heard such a sudden thing.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "First of all, let's start with the nominations. We will select a few nominations mainly based on military exploits, strength, and mission resumes. Then we will let others vote, and finally hand it over to the Daming Mansion, and we will be able to choose The Fourth Hokage is born."

Theoretically, anyone who is a Jonin can participate in the Hokage selection.

However, in order to save time, there are many requirements for jounin candidates.

"I propose, Jiraiya-sama."

Yamanaka Kaiichi raised his hand first and said: "Jiraiya-sama is worthy of being the Fourth Hokage in terms of strength and merit, and Jiraiya-sama is also a Sannin."

"Haiyi, thank you for your trust. You don't need to choose me. I have obvious shortcomings and am not suitable to be Hokage, haha."

Jiraiya didn't wait for Yamanaka Kai to finish, he quickly interrupted, and then said in a slightly solemn tone: "I recommend my own disciple, Namikaze Minato.

Although he is still very young, his belief in becoming Hokage is very sincere, and Minato's strength and abilities are stronger than mine as a teacher. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen answered at this time and said: "Well, since you don't want to, then even if you go to Namikaze Minato, is there anyone else?"

"I recommend Jounin Hatake Sakumo."

A civilian jounin spoke. He was sitting relatively far back and was recommended spontaneously, so he stood up when he spoke.

"I admire Sakumo-senpai very much for both his strength and ability. I think Sakumo-senpai can also run for the Fourth Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo and others glanced at Hatake Sakumo, but when they saw that he did not refuse immediately, they suddenly felt a little strange.

Both of them believed that Hatake Sakumo had no intention of becoming Hokage. After returning, except for helping Kakashi apply for a Jonin examination, he basically did not leave home.

How could he have such thoughts?

However, seeing that Hatake Sakumo did not refuse like Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to say: "Sakumo is also very outstanding, and he is also included in the Hokage candidate."

This incident made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel a little bad, but he still stabilized his thoughts and continued to ask: "Is there anyone else? You can also recommend yourself."

"I recommend Orochimaru."

Danzo couldn't help but say at this time: "Orochimaru's strength and mission history"

"Thank you Danzo-sama for your consideration, but I am not very suitable for this Hokage. The reason should be the same as Jiraiya. I am not very suitable personally."

Orochimaru said with a smile, then glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and continued: "I would also recommend Sakumo-kun, although someone has already recommended him."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned dark. Orochimaru's move made him feel that the situation was out of control.

"I recommend Yang Yi Clan Leader"

"Hands down, Yoshiken-kun, my qualifications are still very low. In addition to my strength, I still have some things to learn. Since someone recommended Sakumo-senpai, there is no need to recommend me."

Uchiha Yoichi interrupted the words of the clansmen behind him. This was discussed in advance in order to make those jounin who had not yet won over to neutrality favor Hatake Sakumo.

Even the Sannin and Uchiha clan leaders have continuously recommended it, and there have been rumors in newspapers recently. It should be a no-brainer for who is the most suitable ninja for the Fourth Hokage, right?

Orochimaru and Uchiha Yang helped them make the choice directly!

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened again. By now he finally understood that it was not that the Uchiha clan wanted to become Hokage themselves, but that they wanted to choose a Hokage ally.

He had known for a long time that Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Yoichi had a very good relationship, so good that the Uchiha clan did not even pursue the Sharingan on Kakashi, but he just ignored this relationship.

Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that the Uchiha clan would hold the position of Hokage in their hands. The previous Uchiha were indeed as thirsty for power as they thought.

but now

Hatake Sakumo also had some embarrassment on his face. Although he knew that Uchiha Yoichi wanted him to be the Hokage, this was too flattering.

".In this case, if there is no one else, the only candidates for the Fourth Hokage are Namikaze Minato and Hatake Sakumo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had some bad feelings in his heart. If he had known that Namikaze Minato's final opponent would be Hatake Sakumo, he would have definitely prepared in advance.

But at this point, he can't cancel the election and postpone it to the next time; and Daming Mansion has received the news, and it is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow.

"Start voting."

Then the Jonin voting began, and as each vote increased, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart gradually sank.

Namikaze Minato is indeed excellent, but it also depends on who he is compared to.

With Orochimaru and Uchiha Yoichi, he might still be able to compete with his popularity and other aspects; but if his opponent is Hatake Sakumo, the votes will suddenly be widened.

In addition to the ninjas from the four tribes of Ino Shikacho and Sarutobi, there were only more than thirty jounin who voted for Namikaze Minato. In the end, Namikaze Minato's total votes were only eighty-one.

Hatake Sakumo's votes were a full 143. The gap of more than 60 votes was really quite big.

"The voting results are out. The daimyo will come to Konoha Village tomorrow. Everyone in the village should attend the meeting then."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, those he just mentioned were the village advisors and the Jonin Class Leaders.

Uchiha Yoichi will not be able to attend the final Yondaime selection meeting tomorrow, but it doesn't matter anymore, he has already made it clear to the daimyo.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen may still regard the daimyo as his last hope, but when the daimyo chooses Sakumo Hatake as the fourth generation goal, he will be so uncomfortable that he wants to crush his pipe.

Just as Uchiha Yoichi guessed, after finishing the Jonin meeting, Sarutobi Hiruzen called out Mito Katobu, Koharu and Danzo, hoping that they would work together to persuade the daimyo to choose Namikaze Minato as the fourth generation tomorrow. Naruto.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was too lazy to argue with Danzo. When he knew that Danzo recommended Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen guessed that Danzo had leaked the election of Hokage.

But Danzo was also fooled by Orochimaru. His disciple had already been mixed up with Uchiha, and Danzo didn't even think of it.

Danzo also had an ugly look on his face. He was actually tricked by Orochimaru like a monkey. He had promised well at the time, but then dumped him in the jounin meeting.

'Orochimaru, Uchiha Yoichi, you deserve to die! ’

Danzo now also understands that if he wants to continue to preserve the roots, letting Namikaze Minato become the Hokage is the best choice. At least he can get Namikaze Minato to agree to keep the roots through Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If it had been Hatake Sakumo, this would have been difficult.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so listless after you come back?"

After Kushina saw Namikaze Minato come back, she sat directly on the sofa without saying a word. She was far from her usual 'Little Sun' state, so she asked with concern.

"Kushina, I may not be Hokage."

Namikaze Minato said feebly that if the competitor were Orochimaru, he would have the confidence to compete, but the current competitor is Hatake Sakumo who is supported by Orochimaru and Uchiha Yoichi.

Namikaze Minato is not sure at all now.

"If you don't want to be Hokage, you don't want to be Hokage. It doesn't matter; if you can't do it with the Fourth Generation, you can still compete with the Fifth Generation."

Kushina comforted her immediately, and then changed her expression to a fierce expression: "If you don't become Hokage, won't you and I get married?"

"Of course not, it's just that I want to become Hokage and then release the restrictions on you!"

Namikaze Minato explained, this answer made Kushina laugh immediately, and then said to him: "It doesn't matter, I believe you will always find a way."

"Kushina"

Namikaze Minato said movedly, and then regained his confidence.

the other side.

Uchiha Yoichi has also returned home. So far, the election of the fourth generation Hokage has been concluded, and he does not need to worry about it next.

After Hatake Sakumo becomes Hokage, the village will definitely no longer be blocked in applications from Uchiha clan jounin.

"You're back."

After seeing Uchiha Yang come back, Uzumaki Mina came out to greet him with a smile, and her belly was getting bigger day by day.

"Well, the election for the Fourth Hokage was held today. There are now two candidates, and the results will be out tomorrow."

Uchiha Yoichi said casually, and then he saw Nohara Lin coming out of the house.

After Nohara Lin came out, she nodded and bowed to Uchiha Yang with some embarrassment. She stayed for a meal today, and now she still had something to ask Uchiha Yoichi, so she felt a little embarrassed.

After Uchiha Yoichi came in, Uzumaki Mina winked at Nohara Rin, but she was still a little embarrassed when she saw the latter, so she took the initiative to help Nohara Rin and said: "Master Yoichi, Rin has something to ask of you, no. Do you know if you can help her?"

Uchiha Yoichi looked at Nohara Rin and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Yes, I heard that Mr. Yang Yi has a way to quickly improve his strength. I, I want to become stronger, so if I can, can I ask Mr. Yang Yi to give me some advice?"

After saying that, Nohara Lin bowed deeply. She knew that this behavior was very abrupt, but because she was captured because of her poor strength, the following series of things happened.

In addition, Uzumaki Mina kept persuading her, so Nohara Rin mustered up the courage to ask Uchiha Yoichi how to become stronger.

Moreover, Uzumaki Mina had promised Nohara Rin that in the morning, Uchiha Yoichi would give her a try even if it was for her sake.

Uchiha Yoichi pretended to be confused and asked: "You want to become stronger? You are a medical ninja, why do you suddenly want to become stronger?"

"Because medical ninjas must also be able to protect themselves, otherwise they will become a burden to their teammates!"

Nohara Rin took a deep breath and said resolutely: "I don't want to become a burden to my teammates anymore and let my friends die because of my lack of strength. So please give me some guidance, Mr. Yoichi."

"I know, the idea is brilliant, I can teach you."

Uchiha Yang nodded and said to Nohara Rin: "For conventional training methods, if you ask any jounin for advice, they will tell you. Even Mina should have told you. It doesn't matter if I don't tell you."

"But I have another way to increase your strength, which is very suitable for ninjas like you."

Asking for a monthly ticket!
