Chapter 354: The Same Ninja World, the Same Dream

Following Sarutobi Hiruzen's order, the entire Konoha was in chaos.

Konoha was originally established by Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, and the first Hokage was served by the strongest Hashirama. There is no problem with this.

In the early days of the establishment of the village, Uchiha Madara betrayed Konoha and the Senju family became the dominant family. Izuna was hacked to death before the village was established, and the Uchiha clan lost all its top experts.

On the other hand, in the Senju clan, in addition to the Senju Tobirama who is as famous as Izuna, there is also the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Uzumaki Mito, who is still powerful.

Naturally, Senju Tobirama became Konoha's second-generation talker.

After the second generation took office, he implemented a number of reforms to Konoha and promoted a variety of policies to make Konoha look more like a whole.

And because although the Senju Clan still has some power, it is no longer what it used to be. The Senju Clan has also transferred a lot of power, giving some comfort to the small families who followed the two major families in establishing the village.

In fact, the Sandaime Hokage originally needed to be elected, at least for a while.

Several candidates were recommended by the Jonin class and major families, and finally Senju Tobirama recommended one of them to the daimyo.

However, during the peace agreement signing ceremony, they encountered a rebellion in Yunyin Village, and Senju Tobirama had to kiss Hiruzen Sarutobi without even going through the superficial procedures.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen came to power, Xiao Guicao continued to build on the second generation goal.

At the same time, because the initial strength and prestige were indeed insufficient, a lot of power was transferred to stabilize the rule, such as the establishment of Hokage assistants and advisors.

Let Konoha, a grass-roots team, officially become a republican village with a "senator".

This fourth-generation election will be different from before. At the same time, because Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't want to break up with Mai Uchiha, he can't make any extra moves in the election.

Therefore, canvassing votes has become a top priority. When the voting results come out in two months, whoever has more votes will be the fourth generation.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't and didn't dare to do anything after the knot came out. Of course, it is normal to use coercion and inducement during the canvassing process. These are all conventional methods.

Following Hiruzen Sarutobi's order, the entire Konoha was shaken and turned into a mess.

Orochimaru, Namikaze Minato, and Uchiha Mai stepped forward one after another to announce their participation in the election of the Fourth Hokage. After that, no top powerhouse came forward.

From this, the people of Konoha and the ninjas deduced that Jiraiya and Tsunade should not want to run for the fourth generation. Don't choose me, it's useless to choose, and I won't take the responsibility if you choose me.

In fact, there was one person who was ignored from beginning to end—Shimura Danzo.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen invited Orochimaru and others to a family dinner, Danzo felt something was wrong. Your ordinary family dinner almost wiped out the entire Konoha.

After the news came out, Danzo learned that Sarutobi Hiruzen was asking for everyone's opinions.

Jealousy, Danzo watched Uchiha Mai and the others in the village being so proud of themselves every day that his fists were clenched red and his teeth were about to be broken!

jealous! jealous!

But Danzo was helpless. Mai and Uchiha were young, talented and powerful, and they were born to run for Hokage.

He is different, his strength is indeed a little bit lower, and he is also a little older.

What Konoha needs is vitality. In terms of political ability, Uchiha Mai, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato are all immature, at least not comparable to the veteran Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If they choose, they are optimistic about their future. This is value investment.

The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen abdicated was that he was getting older and unable to cope with his duties. He couldn't let Sarutobi Hiruzen go and choose Danzo who was inferior to him in all aspects.

Therefore, Danzo could only cry at home every day, watching the Uchiha dance and the others showing off their magical powers.

With a big family and a big business, he also runs Kirigakure Village. Mai, known as Uchiha Hanjo, was the first to start the attack. He immediately rented the Konoha Arena for a few days and started giving concerts and speeches.

Later, an elite campaign team was formed, with team members including but not limited to Fugaku, Tsunade, Hatake Sakumo and other big names and celebrities.

The team's first strategy is to spend a lot of money to put up posters and banners in various stores in Konoha.

[Choose Uchiha Mai and connect to the Internet! 】

[Choose Uchiha Dance and get rice and noodles! 】

...and so on.

There are many civilian jounin in Konoha. Because these jonin come from the masses and are subordinates of the Hokage, they are not considered direct descendants of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Moreover, these civilian jounin have a certain degree of empathy and will sympathize more with the civilians of Konoha.

Although Konoha civilians do not have the right to vote, as their prestige and popularity among civilians increases, they can still win over some ninjas who have emerged from the civilian population.

At least we can deal with a few people who are not very firm in their stance.

Immediately after Uchiha Mai, Orochimaru also fired a shot, copying the former's operation in all aspects and hanging banners on the streets of Konoha.

A few days ago, Orochimaru worked with Danzo and defrauded Danzo of a lot of money in the name of various scientific research projects, which made his family rich. All the unconscionable money Danzo earned went into his pocket.

Orochimaru can fight the propaganda war.

The two of them each performed a set of punches, which confused Minato Namikaze. It turns out that running for Hokage is such a complicated thing, and it costs money.

The master is short of money. Although he has some savings, it is far less than Uchiha Hanjo and Orochimaru. Moreover, he is about to get married to Kushina, which is when he needs money.

Just when the master was in trouble and Kushina planned to spend all her wealth to support her husband's Hokage dream, Jiraiya stepped forward.

Isn't it just that you don't have money for the publicity campaign? I'll pay for it for you! Your teacher is not only one of the most successful ninjas in Konoha, but also a well-known best-selling author in the ninja world. I'm not short of money.

Really·I wrote Xiao Liu to support you.

The three candidates completely divided the streets of Konoha, and gradually rolled up: Uchiha Bancheng even sponsored thousands of poor Konoha Genin in a crazy way, and pulled the banner on their backs.

"Advertise it widely, let everyone know that I am running for the fourth generation Hokage, and use strong financial resources and momentum to create a big scene.

While winning over those wavering, give confidence to those jonin who already support Mai.

But doing this alone is far from enough."

In the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Mai analyzed the current situation to his team: "So we have to quickly advance the campaign plan to the second stage.

Uncle Fugaku, Sister Tsunade, it's your turn to take action."

Uchiha Mai did not mention Hatake Sakumo, who was tongue-tied and really not good at speaking.

Fugaku's eyes flickered, and he asked, "You mean, we should lobby the various families in Konoha?"

"Yes."

Uchiha Mai nodded and said, "There are dozens of families in Konoha, big and small, all of whom followed Senju and Uchiha to establish Konoha.

As some families have declined, even without ninjas, they still have voting rights.

And some large families that have not declined, the family members often have several senior ninjas, and the clan leader may still hold some position in Konoha, which is the largest voting base.

For example, Uncle Fugaku, you have 5 votes. The head of the security department has three votes, the senior ninja level has one vote, and the Uchiha clan leader has one vote.

Just the number of votes of an individual is an ordinary Five times the number of jonin. Not to mention that if I can deal with you, it means I can deal with more than 30 jonin of the entire Uchiha clan.

This is the real highlight.

Tsunade nodded slightly, agreeing with Uchiha Mai's words, thinking for a moment, and added: "These people are not as easy to deal with as ordinary ninjas.

Even if they are small and declining families, they are generally not too lacking in material things. Their positions are relatively firm, and they will be more cautious when making choices, and they need to weigh the pros and cons of all aspects.

But overall, they will consider the future more. The future can also be equated with [continuation], which is what a family really values.

Tsunade pointed out the key to the ninja family.

Although her personality is a bit salty, Tsunade's ability is really outstanding. She has also served as the acting Hokage for a period of time to control the overall situation, and her vision is sharp.

Fugaku frowned and said, "I will take out some of the family's training experience and ninjutsu scrolls to win over those families that have already declined.

But those big families are not easy to deal with."

The current Uchiha clan has completely updated the things they practice, from ordinary fire escape to dance style ninjutsu.

Some obsolete ninjutsu and unimportant training experience will not be painful to give away.

"Then give them the future, pen and ink."

Uchiha Wu laughed and signaled Tsunade with his eyes, then realized that this was in the Uchiha clan, not Tsunade's home.

A few seconds later, a ninja from the Uchiha clan immediately brought the best paper and pen.

Uchiha Wu picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, improvised and wrote two lines on the white paper.

Tsunade leaned over and read the words above with a puzzled look: "The same ninja world, the same dream. And, let Konoha be great again?"

"Yes, these are my two campaign slogans."

"Why?" Fugaku asked.

Although this sentence sounds quite sophisticated, Fugaku really doesn't understand its meaning.

Uchiha Mai explained: "After I take office, I will merge the two ninja villages of Konoha and Kirigakure into one. Even if we don't merge them, we will integrate the resources of the two ninja villages.

Konoha and Kirigakure, the Land of Fire and the Land of Water have many places where resources can be exchanged. Once the integration is completed, both ninja villages can gain strength.

As one of the big families of Konoha, they can get more benefits from the resource integration."

The integration of ninja village resources will definitely achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

Kirigakure and Konoha do not need to guard against each other. First of all, they do not need to guard against each other in various trades, and it will be much more convenient when doing tasks.

Once the two villages merge into one, it will undoubtedly become the most powerful village in the ninja world, leaving Kumogakure and Iwagakure behind and recreating the glory when the village was first built.

No, maybe it will be even stronger than before.

Konoha was only strong because of the two heroes, and the overall structure was not healthy. At least the civilians and ninjas in the village did not get much benefit.

Tsunade's heart surged. The merger of the two ninja villages was a completely different path from the one her great grandfather had taken, and this was exactly what she wanted to see.

"But..."

Fugaku frowned slightly and said, "Even if we are happy to see the merger of the ninja villages, I am afraid we will encounter resistance from the daimyo.

Konoha is Konoha of the Land of Fire, Kirigakure is Kirigakure of the Land of Fire, we are just a ninja village, and many things are not up to us to decide."

"Just draw up the pie first."

Uchiha Mai smiled, then raised her left hand and clenched her fist, and said with a smile: "Besides, this is also something I have always been dissatisfied with.

Fist is power. This has always been my belief. The era when the great names of various countries could enjoy the dominance of their pairs of ninja villagers just by relying on the unfounded name of "descendant of gods". It is time to end.

We who have the power should take back what is ours. "

! ! !

Fugaku and Tsunade were shocked. They didn't expect you, Mai Uchiha, to have such appalling and rebellious thoughts.

but I like it!

No ninja with great power can tolerate an irrelevant ordinary person or trash shitting on his head.

Unless you give money, give a lot of money.

In fact, Konoha is the "army" of the Land of Fire, and Naruto is the leader of the army.

In "Boruto", because the ninja world was plowed over again, Naruto gained more power and was upgraded from the leader of the army to the leader of the Fire Country.

Naruto's military and political affairs were seized, and he was extremely busy with various meetings all day long. He shouldered the responsibilities related to the livelihood of the people of the Fire Nation that were once the responsibility of the daimyo.

This pattern is just like the shogunate period in this book: the power of the shogun in charge of the army continued to expand, eventually turning the emperor of the eternal line from a leader into a sign and a mascot.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Uchiha Mai's idea, and it is even in line with the normal development of the ninja world.

"Furthermore, if we really want to talk about [descendants of gods], Senju and Uchiha are the true descendants of gods."

Mai Uchiha added.

"What do you mean?" Tsunade and Fugaku asked at the same time.

"I just used these eyes to see some unknown information: Senju and Uchiha are direct descendants of the Sage of Six Paths."

Uchiha Mai pointed at her eyes.

Fugaku:! ! !

Tsunade:! ! !

"Six Paths Sage really exists?" Tsunade said in surprise.

For a long time, the Immortal of Six Paths was just a legend, a mythical figure.

However, the Uchiha and Senju clans are indeed the two most profound families in the ninja world. According to the family genealogy and archive records, they can indeed be traced back to thousands of years ago, which is the ancient era when the Sage of Six Paths existed.

"It exists, but that's not the point."

Uchiha Mai said calmly: "Winning over the major families in Konoha and getting back what belongs to our ninjas is the most important thing at hand.

I'm going to trouble you, Uncle Fugaku and Sister Tsunade. "

"snort!"

Tsunade gave Uchiha Mai a charming look.

It's like this every time. After arousing people's interest, they just ignore it and make them unable to get up or down.
