"My dream is to become a Hokage. This is the goal I have always pursued and the reason why I am standing here..."

Minato stood on the podium and loudly spoke about his persistence in the position of Hokage, as well as his views on the village and the Hokage.

But not many of the jonin below were listening carefully.

Especially the ninja clan.

They had already prepared to side with Orochimaru.

There is no other reason. Orochimaru is a direct disciple of the Sandaime, and his qualifications and reputation far exceed those of the young Minato.

Orochimaru’s victory is almost a foregone conclusion!

Just as everyone was waiting in boredom for Minato to finish his speech, a sound of applause and praise suddenly rang out.

"it is good!"

"Minato-senpai is indeed a strong man who has fought against the Yondaime Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee many times!"

"The speech is as dazzling as the reputation of the yellow flash!"

It was Haneda who stood up and cheered loudly.

When he stood up and clapped his hands, all the Uchiha jonin stood up at the same time.

All of a sudden, one-tenth of the jonin in the entire conference room stood up.

Seeing this, some ninjas who have always been fence-sitters had to consider whether to remain neutral or support Minato.

The Uchiha clan had great power in Konoha, especially after the rise of Haneda, they had the momentum to suppress the top leaders of Konoha!

Even the Hyuga clan, the second largest clan in Konoha, began to consider Minato.

Those who originally planned to stand completely on Orochimaru's side have now begun to exchange glances, discussing whether to remain neutral.

At this time, Danzo, who was sitting in the elders' seat, looked at Haneda and the Uchiha clan behind him with a very gloomy expression.

I originally thought that the Uchiha would be depressed for a while after losing Sakumo and Kenji.

But he didn't expect that Haneda united the entire Uchiha and challenged Orochimaru, whom he secretly supported!

Danzo kept giving Orochimaru looks, signaling him to curb Minato's current momentum.

But Orochimaru watched with interest as Kushina, Jiraiya, Kakashi and the others stood up one by one to support Minato.

"The rotten windmill has also begun to turn... Who is blowing this wind?"

Orochimaru looked at Haneda and remembered what Haneda once said in front of the memorial.

"interesting."

Due to the momentum of Orochimaru and Minato, those who originally wanted to compete for the position of Hokage gave up the idea.

Voting for candidates also ended quickly.

The voting results that were supposed to be announced were obscured by the Sandaime's words.

This was a result that surprised him.

Minato's votes were surprisingly not much different from Orochimaru's, with nearly 30% of voters abstaining from voting.

Even some of the hardcore Naruto fans, Ino-Shika-Chou, voted for Minato!

The Sandaime fell into deep thought as he watched Haneda and the Uchiha jonin neatly leave the conference room.

At this time, Danzo came over and asked in a deep voice:

"Hiruzen, what are the voting results?"

The Sandaime took a drag from his pipe and said, "Minato is only seven votes short."

"what?!"

Danzo opened his eyes wide. Such a close vote was actually the result of a competition between Orochimaru and Minato.

He couldn't believe it.

Suddenly, an evil face appeared in his mind, and Danzo gritted his teeth and said:

"Is it that brat from the Uchiha clan, Haneda?"

The Sandaime said nothing and agreed with Danzo's words.

After a moment, he blew out a smoke ring and said in a deep voice:

"One third of Minato's votes came from the Uchiha clan."

"Another quarter are Sakumo's former subordinates."

Boom!

Danzo slammed the table, angrily saying:

"Hiruzen! I told you that you would regret the decision you made!"

"If you had listened to my advice seven years ago, what happened today wouldn't have happened!!"

The Sandaime retorted:

"The Uchiha are not rebelling right now! Danzo!"

"Haneda took the lead in supporting Minato's appointment as Hokage, which proves that they are actively integrating into the village!"

Danzo opened his eyes wide and said:

"They want more power! They never give up the idea of ​​fighting for power!"

"Hiruzen! As long as you remove the restrictions on the Root, I will help you personally..."

"Uchiha is the Uchiha of Konoha, I will not agree with you..." The Sandaime interrupted Danzo.

But Danzo soon interrupted him as well.

"You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"

"I am the Hokage!"

The Sandaime and Danzo once again parted ways unhappily regarding how to deal with the Uchiha.

Fortunately, the door of the conference room was large, so Danzo did not slam it shut.

This saved the village a small amount of money.

At the same time, the eighth generation of Uchiha, who served as the Anbu, quietly came to the Uchiha clan's territory and found Haneda and Fugaku.

He gave a detailed account of what had just happened in the conference room.

Haneda listened to the familiar words of the Sandaime and Danzo and smiled:

"The Uchiha are now more united than ever before."

"Even if the Root removes the restrictions, Danzo, a rat in the gutter, can't cause any trouble."

Chapter 174 Orochimaru defected and the plan went smoothly!

After saying that, a pattern of the sun appeared in Haneda's eyes.

That's the Mangekyō Sharingan!

Even Yashiro, who had heard that Haneda had the Mangekyō Sharingan, couldn't help but be secretly shocked when he saw these eyes.

Such chakra and such eye power are totally beyond the capability of his three-magatama Sharingan to contend with.

I'm afraid that one illusion will kill him instantly.

Haneda ordered:

"Continue to lurk in the Anbu and gather information about the Root and Orochimaru."

Haneda turned his back and said mysteriously yet confidently:

"If nothing unexpected happens, something big will happen before the vote at the Jonin Council."

…………

The vote at the Jonin Council will be held in a month.

During this period, candidates are canvassing for votes, and that is when Minato and Orochimaru visit the major ninja clans to promote their political ideas.

But surprisingly, Minato was promoting the event very hard during this period, but Orochimaru seemed to have disappeared, with no news about him.

With his tolerant and gentle personality, and his sunny, handsome and gentle appearance, Minato gained the support of many middle and lower-level ninjas.

Many neutral jonin who originally supported Orochimaru also began to support Minato.

On the night before the vote at the Jonin Conference, shocking news reached the Hokage Building.

Orochimaru actually conducted live experiments on villagers and ninjas from the same village!

The experiment of transplanting Hashirama's cells from the past has also been initiated!

The Sandaime immediately gave the order to block the information obtained by the Anbu and strictly prohibited it from leaving the Hokage Building.

At the same time, he led a team of Anbu personnel and moved quickly towards Orochimaru's laboratory hidden in the Forest of Death.

But a crow quietly landed on an old two-story house.

Haneda took out the note tied to the crow's claws, unfolded it, glanced at it, and smiled slightly.

The chance to obtain the address of Ryuchi Cave and Hashirama's cells has arrived!

The full moon hung high in the sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the Death Forest, barely illuminating the gloomy woods.

Under a pillar in the passage is a hidden laboratory.

Orochimaru stood in front of the experimental table, conducting human experiments with a scalpel in his hand.

He looked coldly at the ninja from his fellow village on the experimental table, calculating the time silently in his mind.

For some reason, his mind flashed back to Rope Tree, Kato Dan, and his subordinates who died in the war...

The last scene stayed on a young man with a bright watermelon-like head.

"Life is so fragile. Interesting things are always fleeting and meaningless."

“Only with eternal life can you see more.”
