Konoha: From Aburame to God.

Chapter 165: End of the Hokage Election
Uchiha family.

Almost all the elite members of the Uchiha clan gathered at a small shrine by the Minamiga River.

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

Two pairs of kaleidoscopes!

I would never have dared to think about it before!
In the past, if Uchiha had two pairs of Mangekyō, he would have dared to ride on Sarutobi Hiruzen’s head and act arrogantly!

Naruto, how many thousands of ninjas does he have?
In that situation, the Hokage acted according to the Uchiha's mood.

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

Uchiha Fugaku, who was sitting in the main seat, received the fiery gazes of his clansmen. Those gazes were as if they wanted to engrave Fugaku's eyes in their own hearts.

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

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

"Yes, patriarch."

Uchiha Shisui sat close to Uchiha Fugaku.

The Uchiha elite who were squeezed out did not get angry at all. Instead, they proudly squeezed other Uchiha members.

"There are three main things to do in convening the clan meeting today. The first is that both Shisui and I have activated our Mangekyō Sharingan."

The Uchiha clan member's scarlet Sharingan suddenly lit up, emitting a strange and cold red light, and scanned Uchiha Fugaku and Shisui from side to side.

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

Uchiha Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shisui divert some of his attention. Even though he was facing the fiery gazes of so many Sharingans, he still felt a little scalp tingling.

"The second thing is the retirement of the Third Hokage and the election of the Fourth Hokage."

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

The elder Uchiha Ryoji Uchiha said with shining eyes.

"Of course I can! I think Fugaku has great hopes!"

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

"Who will vote for us except our own people?!"

Uchiha Ryoji was furious when he heard this and felt indignant about it.

"This is not fair! Our Uchiha jonin can beat two at once, so why can't it be counted as two votes? No, it should be counted as three votes!"

"You are such a powerful guy, why don't you count as one hundred votes!"

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

boom!
After the loud noise, the two elders snorted coldly and fell silent with sour faces.

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

The Uchiha clan members nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

The Uchiha clan is indeed very powerful today, but in terms of preparation for the election of Hokage, one cannot say that they were caught off guard, but rather that they were totally unprepared.

Because in the old Konoha, no one believed that Uchiha could successfully run for Hokage, including Uchiha himself.

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

"Plus, since the Uchiha clan is willing to spend time preparing, 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 Sharingans looked at Obito.

"Hey, why did this happen to me?"

Uchiha Obito originally wanted to be 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 discovered Obito's weakness, which was that he was too kind.

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

……

The Hokage election will be held soon.

Minato's reputation skyrocketed because Sarutobi Hiruzen was the one pushing it all behind the scenes.

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

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that his actions would cause certain damage to Konoha. For example, his disciple Orochimaru would definitely be harmed.

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

As long as it is beneficial to the village, he will do it, even if it causes dissatisfaction among others.

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

Because Minato Namikaze was the successor chosen by the Third Hokage, everyone had to give him some face.

You give me face, I give you face, and Minato Namikaze successfully chose the fourth Hokage.

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

Today's Minato Namikaze is the "quasi-Fourth Hokage".

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

However, the news that Minato Namikaze successfully selected as the Fourth Hokage will be announced first so that everyone can be familiar with it.

Almost at the same time, the announcement of Minato Namikaze choosing the Fourth Hokage spread to the entire Konoha and the entire ninja world.

"What? If it weren't for the Third Hokage, that old man would have been worried about the Nine-Tails and wouldn't let me go out at all. I could have made military achievements, participated in the Hokage selection, and become Hokage."

Looking at the little hot pepper who was looking at him with her hands on her hips and an angry look on her face, 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 just that."

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

Kushina blinked and looked at her sweetheart with a happy smile.

"Then let's get married."

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

Whether it's Minato or Kushina, their feelings for each other have been confirmed.
