Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down.

Chapter 1052 Those are all my words!
Square center.

There are giant targets placed in a circle.

Apparently, the voting method is the same as the jonin confidence vote.

Just shoot the kunai on it.

As for not being able to vote? .

It's really embarrassing, just give up your skirt.

In the center of the circle of targets was a two-story wooden platform, with the people on it vaguely divided into two groups confronting each other.

On the left is Tsunade, with Ino, Shizune, Kobayashi Taira, and Nobi Nobita standing behind him.

Both Kobayashi Taira and Nobi Nobita have an identity.

Civilian Jonin!

The kind that can represent ordinary civilian ninjas and small ninja clans.

On the right is Asuma, along with Naruto, Shikamaru, Kakashi, Utane Koharu, and Mito Kado En.

The two sides represent the doves and hawks respectively, and also represent the future direction of Konoha.

As for Sakura, the heroine in the original story? .

As the time traveler Youtang Ping, his role is pitifully small. He has no chance to go on stage at all and just stands in the audience.

"Asuma, do you know that you will bring Konoha into destruction!"

Tsunade's tone was calm, but there was murderous intent in her eyes. If possible, she would like to kill the other person.

It was precisely because of the other party's obstruction that she has not yet ascended to the position of Hokage.

You know, Tang Ping only gave her one month, and now half of the time has passed, every minute and every second is extremely precious.

Once the time has passed, the Lieyang Kingdom will not be polite, and Konoha will be finished.

"Lady Tsunade, only the Will of Fire can save Konoha!"

Asma responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Even though he has turned evil, it doesn't mean he is willing to watch Konoha decline and the Sarutobi clan perish.

Even if it has to be destroyed, it must be done by myself. I will never allow it to be destroyed by the hands of the Lieyang Kingdom.

If there was a Hokage, he would definitely come out first to host the event and say a few words.

But Jiraiya had already died in the battle, so naturally the two Hokage candidates had to take the field themselves.

Tsunade stepped forward first, facing the countless gazes below.

She knew that what she was going to say next might irritate many people and would also affect the reputation of the Senju clan.

But she did not regret it, because reputation was nothing compared to living people.

She understood this principle very well.

"I know that everyone will fight to protect Konoha, but we can't make unnecessary sacrifices..."

She expressed her own ideas.

That is to allow the village to join the Lieyang Kingdom, avoid being disturbed by war, and at the same time obtain higher welfare for everyone.

In the 'simple' world of the ninja world, although the ninja profession can poison, assassinate...all of these are possible, but those are only for carrying out missions and fighting.

Normally, he is even simpler than a warrior.

Especially the strong ones!
Except for some special beings, all strong people attach great importance to their reputation, and many of them have sacrificed their lives for it.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible to lie during the election.

Lying will also affect one's own ninja way, and will make one useless in the future.

This may be why the strong disdain to lie.

Of course, except for battles and missions, undercover work is also a common thing for ninjas.

Therefore no one would doubt what Tsunade said at this time.

In other words, as long as she is allowed to take the position, the village can be spared from war and enjoy better welfare benefits.

When it comes to welfare benefits, no one will doubt it at all.

Compared with the welfare benefits of the Lieyang Kingdom, the major ninja villages are completely "exploitative".

Apart from having more rules and less power, the Kingdom of Lieyang is completely like the 'beacon of the ninja world' and the 'ninja paradise'.

Of course, this is for civilians or small ninjas.

For the Great Ninja Clan, the advantage of the Fiery Sun Country is not that great.

Because they can enjoy those resources in their own villages, and at the same time they have much more power.

Perhaps this is the reason why, until now, although countless people from the Lieyang Country have defected, no major ninja clan has ever taken the initiative to defect.

Tang Ping naturally didn't care about this.

He will not indulge these ninja clans. If they want to join the Lieyang Kingdom, the prerequisite is that the ninja clans hand over their power.

Therefore, Tsunade's words on the stage made the civilian ninjas and the smaller ninjas extremely excited, but the larger ninjas and high-ranking officials in high positions of power were completely indifferent.

After Tsunade finished speaking, the voting began.

Dense kunai hit the target.

Note that nearly half of the registered ninjas in the village at this time are from the Hokage clan.

After all, no matter how many civilians there are, the proportion of them who can become ninjas is far less than that of the ninja clan.

Not to mention, whenever there is a battle, most of the civilian ninjas serve as cannon fodder, so the sacrifice ratio cannot be too high.

Under these influences, it is normal that the number of civilian ninjas far exceeds that of ninja clans, but their numbers are not as high as those of ninja clans.

If you observe carefully, you will find that most of those who voted for Tsunade were civilian ninjas and small ninjas, and none of the big ninjas voted.

Apparently, they were 'canvassed'.

It's not just about canvassing for votes, you may also be threatened.

There is no such thing as martial ethics in the Naruto series!
If you dare to vote for Tsunade, they can't guarantee that they can deal with the Fiery Sun Country, but they can guarantee that they can deal with you.

Therefore, it is not surprising that this situation occurs under coercion and inducement.

'How can it be! ’

With her arms folded across her chest, Tsunade, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly saw her pupils shrink when she saw the number of kunai on the target.

As for these great ninja clans and Hokage factions, she was naturally aware that they would most likely not vote for her, so she didn't hold out much hope.

But what she couldn't believe was that there was not even one person who supported her?

You know, before today, she had already received promises from many people, who said they would support her.

But now, not only did no one vote for her, but even many civilian ninjas did not vote for her. This is hard to believe.

In fact, the reason is very simple.

Late last night, the Root and the Anbu took action at the same time, and with the addition of some people sent by various major forces to provide support, they "solicited votes" from many civilian ninjas overnight.

Compared to the big ninja clans, which require bribery, these civilian ninjas only need "coercion" and they will be fine.

Don't talk about martial arts!

In the past, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to put on a show and throw all the bad things onto Danzo, while he himself was still the "pure and innocent" Hokage.

But now, the Naruto system is not even willing to pretend.

But who can blame Asma for having turned evil?

For him, destroying Konoha is also his own way of ninja.

The prerequisite is to be destroyed in one's own hands, not destroyed by others.

After seeing the number of votes, Tang Ping, who was watching the excitement in the audience, sighed softly.

"Tsunade lost!"

The other party used these methods, which directly reduced Tsunade's vote count to less than half.

Asuma himself has more than half of the basic supporters, and even if he casually wins over some ordinary ninjas, the number of votes he gets will not be too high.

All I can say is that Tsunade didn’t lose because of her ability, but because of her moral integrity.

They simply abandoned the ethics of martial arts, but she had no choice but to do so. It was hard for her to avoid losing.

Playing like this in the Naruto series will definitely have a significant impact on itself.

But if they don't do this, they will have no future, so they have no choice but to swallow it even though they know it is a slow-acting poison.

Asuma walked slowly to the platform and spoke slowly.

"During the decisive battle, I burst into tears when I saw the coalition forces being defeated by the Lieyang Army!"

"At that time, I swore in my heart that one day I would take everything back!"

"Maybe this is my only chance in this life!"

"Once I become Hokage, I will restore the glory of Konoha!"

"Let the will of fire reignite!"

...

Asuma gave an exciting speech, which also made the eyes of the surrounding Konoha villagers and ninjas light up.

The pride of being the leader of the five major ninja villages made them extremely excited.

However, one of them felt something was weird.

'He's using my words!'

Tang Ping suddenly remembered that he seemed to have said all of the things the other party said.

He had said this many times in his previous speeches and jokes, and many people had recorded his words, so it was not surprising that people in the ninja world knew this.

The question is, how could Asma learn to give a speech like me?

Of course.

The effectiveness of this brainwashing speech will be revealed in the next vote.
