Naruto: Starting with the power of two systems

Tsunade was a student of the Third Hokage.

How could he possibly support the Third Hokage's disciple?

No one else was surprised to hear his opinion, and the relationship between the Uchiha and Hyuga clans became closer that year.

In particular, Uchiha Ryosuke helped the Hyuga clan resist the unreasonable demands of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Subsequent rumors circulated that it was Hiashi Hyuga's younger brother who was prepared to sacrifice himself to quell the anger of Kumogakure.

Although the Hyuga main family and branch family don't have a good relationship, he is still his younger brother. Hyuga Hiashi wouldn't just watch his younger brother die innocently, would he?

That would be a great debt of gratitude to Hiashi Hyuga.

Not to mention they fought against the Hidden Cloud Village together, so they have a bond of camaraderie forged through shared hardships.

A slight smile appeared on Fugaku's face, and he was secretly delighted.

It is gratifying that the Hyuga clan stands on the side of the Uchiha clan.

The Hyuga are a prominent clan in the village, and their words carry considerable weight.

Shikaku felt even more conflicted at this moment.

Such powerful clans joined in supporting the Uchiha clan.

It greatly influenced the trajectory of the election for the Fifth Hokage.

Since he was the one in charge, he naturally wouldn't speak out to express his support for Lady Tsunade.

They could only turn their attention to Yamanaka Inoichi.

Yamanaka Inoichi sensed Shikaku's gaze, understood what was happening, and stood up to speak.

"Our Ino-Shika-Cho clan supports Lady Tsunade becoming the Fifth Hokage."

His words surprised everyone present. Even the Ino-Shika-Cho trio had stood up to support Lady Tsunade?

They're members of the guard; are they opposing the Uchiha clan?

Shikaku glanced worriedly at Fugaku Uchiha's reaction, only to find that the other man remained calm and composed.

There was no displeasure on his face, and he felt relieved.

It seems the Uchiha clan is not going to cause trouble for the three clans.

Fugaku, of course, would not cause trouble for the three clans because of this.

When power was initially divided, there was no intention to make the three clans submit to the Uchiha clan; it was merely to change the Uchiha clan's image in the village.

There's also the relationship between the three clans and the Third Hokage.

It's time for him to make a statement.

"My Uchiha clan does not intend to participate in this election for the Fifth Hokage, so there is no need for you to nominate me."

Everyone present, except for Tsunade and Shizune, looked shocked and bewildered.

Whether you support the Uchiha clan or the Tsunade clan.

Did the Uchiha clan suddenly give up?

Isn't this clan always thinking about seizing the Hokage position?

I've had this idea ever since the Second Hokage died.

There are reasons behind this group's thinking.

Because many outstanding geniuses have emerged in the clan.

Whether it's Uchiha Shisui or Uchiha Itachi.

Those were all top-tier, while at the same time, other forces in the village withered away, with no successors.

Shikaku also couldn't believe it.

"Is Chief Fugaku serious?"

Fugaku nodded in response.

"Of course it's true."

He certainly wouldn't joke about something like that.

Everyone's expression changed drastically; this was actually true.

I really don't understand.

Hiashi Hyuga was also somewhat confused by the Uchiha clan's decision, which was beyond his expectations.

What exactly is this clan thinking?

Of those present, only Tsunade probably understood that the young man had kept his promise.

Giving up the position of Fifth Hokage was not in vain for his efforts.

Shikaku was the first to recover from the shock.

It seems the Uchiha clan was so calm and collected before, as if they were determined to get this position.

Judging from the current situation, they have no intention of participating at all, so these election matters are irrelevant to them, which is why they look so indifferent.

Shikaku also didn't notice, which made him seem a little dazed.

But that doesn't matter anymore; it's something the Uchiha clan themselves have admitted.

This group's voluntary withdrawal can also avoid internal strife within the village, which is conducive to the village's unity.

"Since the Uchiha clan doesn't intend to run for election, do any of you have other candidates?"

Chapter 218 The Patriarchal Meeting Ends

The clan leaders present exchanged glances.

It's obvious that there's no one else to choose from besides Tsunade.

There may be some people with some ability, but compared to Tsunade and the Uchiha clan, they are not as capable.

That's incomparable in any aspect, whether it's combat strength, seniority, or any other comparison.

Those who supported the Uchiha clan, seeing that the Uchiha were no longer running for office, naturally gave up on nominating a new candidate.

They couldn't possibly force the Uchiha clan to participate in the election; they didn't have that capability.

Looking at the quiet meeting room, Lu Jiu naturally knew that they had no more suitable candidates.

He himself knew that even he was no match for Tsunade and Fugaku Uchiha, let alone others, so he could announce it now.

"Since no one else has a choice, Tsunade, the only candidate this time, will naturally become the Fifth Hokage. I will then send someone to deliver this message to the Daimyo's residence. After the Daimyo's approval, Lady Tsunade will officially become the Fifth Hokage. What's the point of giving her the position then?"

Everyone remained silent, clearly indicating that there was no objection.

Rather, they are still a bit confused that the Uchiha clan did not participate in the election.

But that's the truth, isn't it? Let the Uchiha do whatever they want, as long as they're happy.

Soon, the news that Tsunade had been elected as the Fifth Hokage spread throughout the village.

The villagers were equally surprised to hear the news.

It turns out that Lady Tsunade won.

After all, the Uchiha clan has been causing a lot of trouble lately, yet none of them are running for office.

This is unbelievable.

This sparked discussion among the villagers.

"Have you heard? Lady Tsunade is preparing to become the Fifth Hokage. She just needs the Daimyo's approval to officially become the Fifth Hokage."

"It doesn't seem like a big deal. Lady Tsunade had enough prestige to successfully run for the Fifth Hokage."

"That's not the point. The point is, the powerful Uchiha clan didn't even run for election. Isn't that strange? Do you know why?"

"I don't know. These things don't really concern us ordinary people. The selection of the Hokage is not something we can decide."

"As long as the candidate can lead Konoha to prosperity, that's enough. Lady Tsunade will definitely make the village more prosperous."

“What you said is indeed true. It’s not up to us villagers to decide what happens in the ninja world.”

The news spread quickly through the village, but then quickly subsided.

After all, ordinary people still have to make a living and don't have that much time to care about this.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade sat in the seat that the Third Hokage used to occupy.

My heart is full of emotions.

There was a time when I never thought about becoming Hokage.

The Hokage was a real problem, but the situation has changed, and as a member of the Senju clan, she has to step forward.

Since she is in this position, she will naturally do her best to lead the village, especially in dealing with the great disaster of the Ten-Tails.

I need to find some time to talk to Uchiha Ryosuke about how to deal with this.

At that moment, Nara Shikaku pushed open the door and walked in.

A smile on his face.
