Chapter 313 Fifth Generation Nomination
Konoha Village
Meeting Room
Except for Fugaku who was cloning his eyes. The other elders had gathered together.
All the elders had received the news in advance.
It is very likely that they knew about this meeting because of the sudden end of the war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure.
And the recent actions of the Uchiha clan.
It has to be said that the Uchiha clan has been in trouble recently.
Because of the war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure, the third generation did not want to fight with the Uchiha clan at this juncture.
He gave an honorary elder position to Uchiha Natsuki.
Natsuki also took advantage of the fact that the third generation did not want to fight head-on and made trouble crazily.
He directly spent money to bribe various clans.
He spent money to bribe Kakashi.
Even the Hyuga clan was bribed by him.
In recent days, rumors unfavorable to the third generation have been circulating throughout Konoha Village.
And the third generation Hokage also responded accordingly.
He did not deny those rumors.
But he directly pushed Orochimaru out.
He put Orochimaru's cloning technology on the stage.
Many years ago, everyone would take a detour when they saw Orochimaru.
Nowadays, everyone is begging to see Orochimaru.
So many disabled jonins all hope to have healthy limbs.
The family also hopes that these people can regain combat power.
To contribute to the family.
Orochimaru is also very enthusiastic when he sees these people now.
After all, these people are willing to accept cloning. If the cloned limbs mutate, they will pay Orochimaru to clone again.
It is equivalent to paying money to send guinea pigs to Orochimaru.
Although Orochimaru will spend millions of materials if he fails once.
But the value created by saving a disabled jonin is definitely far more than this number.
This results in a result that everyone is very satisfied with.
Orochimaru's reputation in the village has also been increasing day by day recently.
Everyone speculated that the third generation should take action again at this meeting.
The Third Hokage knocked on the table with his pipe:
"The war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure ended suddenly."
"The ninja world should be peaceful in the near future."
"Some of the preparations we made before can also be stopped."
The Third Hokage looked at Uchiha Natsuki with a playful look.
"In recent years, I feel that my energy is not as good as before, and I can't handle the various political affairs of Konoha."
"I decided to formally elect the Fifth Hokage!"
Wow...
The people below were in an uproar.
The elders thought that the Third Hokage convened a high-level meeting because of the war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure, or even the appearance of the leader of Akatsuki.
Unexpectedly, the Third Hokage only mentioned the war in one sentence.
The leader of Akatsuki was not even mentioned.
The selection of a new Hokage can be proposed by the people below, or it can be decided by the current Hokage.
The current Hokage decides to elect the next Hokage, which means that he resigns and steps down.
Unexpectedly, the Third Hokage actually resigned on his own initiative.
Everyone looked at Xia Mu, Xia Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The Third Hokage pressed his hand.
Everyone fell silent.
Everyone was wondering when the confrontation between Uchiha and the Third Hokage would end.
Unexpectedly, the Third Hokage flipped the table directly.
No more time and opportunity for Uchiha to show his political achievements.
The Third Hokage knew Xia Mu's character clearly. If Uchiha continued to be active, Xia Mu might be able to come up with more ways.
Let the other elders vote for the new Hokage.
Instead of doing this, it is better to propose it yourself and take the initiative in your own hands.
"Does anyone have any objections?"
The Third Hokage looked around the room, but everyone knew that the Third Hokage was asking Uchiha Xia Mu.
Sure enough, Uchiha Xia Mu stood up.
"The Third Hokage has made great contributions over the years and has devoted all his energy to Konoha. He should retire to a good old age."
"My Uchiha clan also thinks that there should be a new Hokage to lead our Konoha to a new level."
"I, Uchiha Natsuki, believe that I can bring better development to the village."
"So..."
Natsuki looked around and said in a clear and powerful voice:
"As the honorary elder of Konoha Village and the head of the Uchiha clan, I announce that I will participate in the election of the Fifth Hokage."
Everyone looked at each other. Uchiha took it head-on.
The Third Hokage seemed to have expected it: "According to the regulations, the nomination of honorary elders requires voting. How many people agree that Uchiha Natsuki will participate in the election?"
For the election of the new Hokage, the nomination right itself lies with the Hokage and the advisory elders.
But as long as you have the position of honorary elder, you can also nominate.
But the nominees must be voted.
If the vote fails, the nomination will fail.
Natsuki raised his hand: "I and Fugaku have two votes."
Natsuki said this because Fugaku didn't come.
Hiashi and Hizashi looked at each other and raised their hands.
Five other elders raised their hands.
There were only nine votes in favor.
But Natsuki didn't look disappointed.
He smiled and said: "I have received nine votes in favor."
The third generation frowned slightly: "Who are the ones who oppose Uchiha Natsuki's participation in the election?"
The Hokage, who sat on both sides of the Hokage, Koharu Utatane, En Mitokado, the Shimura family, and the Sarutobi family voted against it.
The big clans such as Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, and Inuzuka were all silent, and silence was equivalent to abstention.
In addition, two elders voted against.
The total number of votes against was only 6.
Xia Mu nodded with satisfaction, and then sat down.
The Third Hokage looked at the various clans.
These are all those who have recently received money from Xia Mu. It is hard to say whether they will vote for Xia Mu when selecting the Hokage.
If they even vote against the nomination, then they are definitely enemies.
The Third Hokage knew that Xia Mu invested (bribed) various clans.
Since Xia Mu's nomination was successful, he didn't say much.
"I nominate my disciple, Orochimaru, to run for the Fifth Hokage election this time."
The nomination of the Hokage and the advisory elders does not require voting.
The elders below were all mentally prepared, and no one had any objections.
Then everyone looked at Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En, as well as the representatives of the Akimichi family.
Akimichi Tofu has been in poor health in recent years, and he only sent a representative every time.
This representative shook his head: "Elder Tofu has no nomination."
Utatane Koharu also shook her head to indicate that she had no nomination.
When everyone thought that Mizutomon En had no nomination, Mizutomon En suddenly said:
"I nominate Tsunade to participate in the Fifth Hokage election."
Everyone was a little agitated, and everyone knew that Tsunade was now in the Uchiha clan and was working for the Uchiha.
Nominating Tsunade now is not just to disgust the Uchiha.
Tsunade's qualifications are definitely enough, and she enjoys a very high status among medical ninjas.
Some medical ninjas who don't know the truth may really vote for Tsunade.
No matter how many votes Tsunade gets, it will definitely affect the relationship between Natsuki and Tsunade.
Although it is highly likely that Tsunade will not run for election, it is no problem to disgust the Uchiha.
Natsuki looked at Mizutomon En with a mocking look and said nothing.
The Third Hokage also looked at him and said nothing.
He knocked on the table.
Everyone fell silent.
"Then, the candidates have been selected, and the confidence vote will be held next month."
All Konoha jonin have one vote.
The reason for the one-month buffer period is to give each candidate a chance to canvass for votes.
When the confidence vote comes, the one who gets the most votes will be the next Hokage.
