Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 187: The Hyuga clan's rebellion! The glory and honor of the Hyuga clan!

The actions of Utane Koharu and Mitokado En plunged the entire venue into dead silence.

Countless ninjas had stunned expressions on their faces, the higher-ups frowned, and even the commoners and nobles who were watching the show felt something was amiss.

This practice has completely affected the direction of this election and violated the rules of fairness and justice.

Moreover, everyone saw the entire voting process. As far as the current situation is concerned, Uchiha Fugaku's position as the Fifth Hokage is almost secure. But suddenly something like this happened. How could Fugaku and the Uchiha clan tolerate this?

Countless eyes turned to Uchiha Fugaku, looking at the war hero who killed everyone on the battlefield and defeated Kumogakure for Konoha.

He clenched his fists, his eyes were bloodshot, and his blood-red Mangekyō Sharingan looked at the Hokage people on the podium, as if he wanted to lift up the thick darkness and see clearly what was behind all this.

"Acting Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Fugaku's voice sounded slowly, his tone suppressed, anyone could hear the emotion contained in it: "What Representative Utane Koharu and Representative Mito Kado En did...is not appropriate!"

Countless eyes fell on Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As the acting Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen is not only the host of today's Hokage election, but also the 'referee' and the supreme leader.

If he says it is unreasonable, then it is unreasonable. Even if the votes are mixed up, they can still "re-vote".

But if he says it's reasonable...

"Although Representative Utatane Koharu's actions were a little inappropriate, they did not violate the rules."

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Please do not interfere with the Hokage election process, Representative Uchiha Fugaku."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar, Fugaku's eyes turned cold, and the Uchiha clan was even more furious!
"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you are so lucky!"

"This is a grand event for all of Konoha! This is a historic moment for the entire Land of Fire! This is a live broadcast that the entire ninja world is watching!"

"A huge conspiracy! The Hokage election is a huge conspiracy!"

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you're Fengsi!"

"Damn you Sarutobi Hiruzen, are you qualified to be a Hokage? Are you qualified to be a referee? I really am sorry for you!"

There were constant sounds of cursing, sarcasm and noise.

Countless eyes fell on Sarutobi Hiruzen with complicated expressions, even Shimura Danzo, Utane Koharu and others looked at him.

They all knew very well that to do such a thing in such an occasion and under such public attention would not only have the potential to drive the Uchiha clan mad and force them to rebel, but would also once again nail Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had managed to escape with the 'Box of Bliss', to the pillar of shame.

No matter what the result of today's election is, Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation will be completely ruined. It can be said that in order to stop the Uchiha clan, he almost gave it his all!

"Yu, prepare the barrier. Be careful of the Uchiha clan. If they start to act, cut off the live broadcast signal first."

Danzo used chakra to transmit orders, and a Root ninja instantly disappeared from the spot. At the same time, several Root ninjas had surrounded Uchiha Fugaku in four corners.

As long as Uchiha Fugaku makes any rash moves, they will take direct action.

At this distance, no matter how powerful the Mangekyō Sharingan is, it cannot escape the restrictions of the sealing technique!

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not speak, but there was a gleam of light in his lowered eyes.

A large number of Anbu who were maintaining order in the dark also began to prepare.

Countless eyes were focused on Uchiha Fugaku, and everyone wanted to know what the patriarch of the Uchiha clan would do.

Overturn the table in anger?

Probably.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's behavior was simply an insult to the Uchiha clan. It made it clear to the Uchiha clan that you, as an Uchiha, could forget about the position of Hokage. In this situation, coupled with the Uchiha clan's violent temper, Uchiha Fugaku might really get furious and overturn the table on the spot.

But under the gazes of countless people, Uchiha Fugaku did not speak, but just looked deeply at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo with his bloodshot eyes.

"I hope the Acting Hokage understands that this is an election, not a joke."

"Haha, Representative Uchiha Fugaku is joking. I understand that this is an election." Seeing Fugaku's behavior, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "Everything we do must naturally comply with the rules of the election."

As for what the rules are... that naturally has the final say from me, the acting Hokage!
"..."

Uchiha Fugaku did not respond, which made countless people present look a little disappointed, but in the eyes of more people, a little helplessness and resentment emerged.

"Damn it, Sarutobi Hiruzen is really going too far. Patriarch Fugaku is doing this entirely for Konoha and cannot stand the internal strife, but Sarutobi Hiruzen and his gang are taking this opportunity to intensify their suppression of Patriarch Fugaku!"

"That's right, it's a pity that our Patriarch Fugaku has always been dedicated to the people and Konoha, but now..."

"Damn Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

"Shady! Shady! Shady!"

Countless members of the Uchiha clan were filled with resentment, and many ordinary ninjas were also somewhat touched when they saw this scene, but the voting was over at this moment, and no matter how touched they were, they could not change the result of the vote.

Many people shouted about the conspiracy, but before they could finish their shouts, they were restrained by the Anbu or Root ninjas.

There are even micro-silent barriers to filter out all the unpleasant noises.

"A ninja is someone who can endure what ordinary people cannot endure. Chief Fugaku is truly outstanding in this regard."

On the high platform, Mangetsu Kizuna was amazed. If this happened in Kirigakure, there would be no need to say anything and they would just beat them up with Susanoo.

Haven’t you seen how the current Fourth Mizukage, Mizunotsuki Yori, defeated the Third Mizukage in this way and took the position of Mizukage?

Compared with Kirigakure, Konoha is simply too "harmonious"!
Fugaku's silence did not stop Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo's actions. Since they had already taken action, they naturally would not just get a few votes.

As expected, before Sarutobi Hiruzen could give any orders, Akimichi Tofu on the podium had already stood up and poured all the tickets in the wooden box to Shimura Danzo.

"I am dull and incompetent. Whether it's my character, talent, or magnanimity, I am not as good as Representative Danzo. I will vote for Representative Danzo."

"Indeed, compared to Representative Danzo Shimura, I am still far behind in both qualifications and abilities." The head of the Aburame clan, Shiwei Aburame, narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"If there is anyone in Konoha who can inherit the position of the Fourth Hokage and take over from the Third Hokage, Shinobi Yami should be the best candidate."

"Ah, I, an old fellow, think so, too."

However, in just a short moment, except for the Hyuga clan leader Hyuga Hiashi, all the representatives on the field gave up the election for the Fifth Hokage and gave their votes to Shimura Danzo.

To be honest, this practice is quite against the rules, but in Konoha Village, it seems so reasonable. I took your approval and gave your expectations to the person I approved of!

This kind of statement is always so surprisingly reasonable in a passionate comic like Naruto.

After handing the ballot to Danzo, Utatane Koharu and others also stepped down, and only Uchiha Fugaku, Shimura Danzo, and Hyuga Hiashi were left in the huge venue. However, everyone's target was basically focused on Uchiha Fugaku and Shimura Danzo, and no one paid too much attention to Hyuga Hiashi.

Those who voted for Hyuga Hiashi were basically members of the Hyuga clan. Even if there were other people in the village, there were not many. Although the number of votes was much higher than that of Utane Koharu and others, it was still far from enough to threaten Uchiha Fugaku and Shimura Danzo who now received a large number of votes.

"Counting the votes, Danzo should have won." Sarutobi Hiruzen estimated the approximate number of votes in his mind, but a hint of nervousness appeared on his old face.

After all, the position of Hokage that he had just obtained was gone. Although what he did was a sinister and despicable political tactic, no matter how calm Fugaku appeared now, there was a possibility that he would do something desperate.

By then, it will be a civil war in Konoha!

Everyone would be nervous when facing the Mangekyō Sharingan.

However, Uchiha Fugaku just sat calmly in his seat, not in a hurry at all, and waited quietly for the so-called representatives present to cast their votes for Shimura Danzo one by one.

This appearance made Sarutobi Hiruzen and others feel a little strange.

Could it be that Fugaku's scheming character has been trained to such an extent that he can remain calm even if he lost the position of Hokage?
In fact, Fugaku was also shocked and angry, and extremely flustered. He kept looking down at Mangetsu Hozuki in the VIP seat, but what he got was still Mangetsu Hozuki's confident look.

"Keep calm, it's not a big problem."

"No buddy, at this point, it's not a big problem. Can it be done?"

"I guarantee you'll win, bro~!"

Looking at Mangetsu Hozuki's confident look, Fugaku's mouth twitched slightly. He took a deep breath and continued to remain silent.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen also breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be the best thing if Fugaku could let it go and let Konoha avoid a civil war. At worst, when power is distributed, he could give some to the Uchiha clan and let them move out of the remote corners of the village.

"In that case, the next step is to count the votes..."

"Wait!"

An abrupt voice sounded, interrupting the final process of the Hokage election once again.

Under the astonished gazes of countless people, Hyuga Hiashi, who had been silent and resting with his eyes closed, suddenly stood up and looked at Uchiha Fugaku.

"Patriarch Fugaku is able to open the Mangekyō Sharingan, which is quite like the style of the Uchiha ancestors. I admire him!"

Say it.

Amid countless people's stunned, shocked, unbelievable and puzzled looks, Hyuga Hiashi cast all his votes for Uchiha Fugaku.

In an instant, the whole place was in an uproar!

"what?!"

"Hizuki, do you know what you are doing?"

"Hizuki, why you!?"

There was a constant stream of voices of surprise and doubt, and even several members of the Hyuga family had expressions of disbelief, unable to believe what they were seeing.

The Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan are the two most powerful clans in Konoha. The two clans have maintained a competitive relationship since the establishment of Konoha. If we talk about the relationship, the relationship between the Hyuga clan and the Hokage series is definitely stronger than that of the Uchiha clan.

But why...

Not only were the faces of the people present filled with disbelief, but even Uchiha Fugaku's face showed a hint of astonishment, as if he had not expected the scene before him.

He glanced at Rizu, and then subconsciously turned his gaze to Guideng Man Yue in the VIP seat.

"No buddy, are you really that awesome that you even managed to take down Hiashi?"

"Brother Bao, if I say you are stable, then you are stable!"

Hinata Hiashi's actions caused an uproar in the audience and attracted everyone's attention. In addition, Uchiha Fugaku and Hozuki Gengetsu were communicating using chakra, so naturally it did not attract the attention of others.

After doing all this, Hyuga Hiashi walked off the stage under the shocked and stunned eyes of countless people, just like Utatane Koharu and others before him. He turned a deaf ear to the eyes of the people below the stage and the doubts of several clans beside him.

This approach made the clan leaders even more confused.

No, it’s just Rizu.

We know that we have no chance of becoming Hokage, but looking at the current situation, no matter whether it is Uchiha Fugaku or Shimura Danzo who takes the position, our Hyuga clan will be able to maintain our position as a special clan in Konoha Village, and maintain our Hyuga clan's absolute core status and identity in Konoha.

If you do this, wouldn't the thousand-year-old competition between Hyuga and Uchiha have now become a situation where Hyuga is inferior to Uchiha? !

Could it be that Uchiha Fugaku opening two Mangekyōs puts so much pressure on you? !

Rizu saw all the puzzled, doubtful and shocked looks on the faces of the clan members, but he didn't care.

The Hyuga clan does attach great importance to things like reputation and name, but compared with what he is about to obtain, what are these things?

As Hinata Hiashi walked off the stage, his eyes fell on Mangetsu Kizuki who was sitting in the VIP seat. His mind couldn't help but recall the encounter and conversation between the two of them last night.

"Chief Hiashi, look at the Hyuga clan today, and then look at Uchiha Fugaku today."

"Do you know why the Hyuga clan was able to fight against the Uchiha clan with the Mangekyō Sharingan for hundreds and thousands of years in the Warring States Period without being outdone, but now cannot be compared with the Uchiha clan that produced Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Fugaku?"

"The reason is very simple. The heritage of your Hyuga clan has long been in ruins in the long river of history!"

The fellow named Gui Deng Man Yue, who used a method that almost got something for nothing, aroused his thoughts.

"As long as you help Patriarch Fugaku win the position of Hokage tomorrow, the Hyuga clan will be able to regain the glory of a thousand years ago. This is the promise of the Fourth Mizukage Mizuno Tsukiyomi!"

The promise made by the Fourth Mizukage, Mizuno Tsukiyomi, directly convinced Hyuga Hiashi!
Hinata Hiashi silently clenched his fists, paying no attention to the Hokage election which had changed drastically. He stared at Mangetsu Kizuki with veins bulging on both sides of his forehead, and even subconsciously rolled his eyes.

Recreating the glory of a thousand years ago, the power is no less than that of Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan...

The power of their Hyuga clan...
