Garbage skills achieve the strongest ninja world

Chapter 354 Election Site

"It's hard for me to give you an answer right away. I need to think about it for a few days. Anyway, I will definitely give you an answer."

Sarutobi Hiruzen weighed the matter for a long time and struggled. After all, this matter was too closely related. Even if he was the Hokage, he could not weigh the pros and cons in a moment.

Mai Uchiha stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen for a long time, then put away the fishing gear, held on to the bamboo hat, turned around and left, and said without interest: "Let's go.

I'm looking forward to your reply, it's boring, it's really boring if you can't catch a single fish."

I sat here for a long time. Although it was mainly to discuss things with Sarutobi Hiruzen, I didn't catch a single fish, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

The more Mai Uchiha thought about it, the more angry she became. As she walked, she glanced at the lake with the corner of her eye. With a finger, the chakra turned into several threads and shot towards a few big fish weighing three to four kilograms in the lake.

Wrap it around, pull it up with a hook of your fingers, and throw it into the fish basket at your waist.

This is called fishing, using chakra to turn into silk thread. This is a technique only used by many awesome puppet masters.

However, since Uchiha Mai is so powerful now and has the Sharingan, most of the special techniques can be mastered at a glance unless her attributes really don't support it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Mai Uchiha's retreating back, knowing that he had to give Uchiha Mai an explanation no matter what, either fair or the Hokage candidate.

Even if you go out to catch fish, you are not willing to come back empty-handed. People who are accustomed to using some special cheating techniques have double standards. The most intolerable thing is to become the target of others using cheating techniques to defeat and shady people.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi does some small tricks without compensation, he will completely break up with Mai Uchiha.

Shaking his head and putting away his fishing gear, Sarutobi Hiruzen returned home. He did several more polls in the next few days and found that the situation was becoming increasingly grim.

There are more and more people supporting Uchiha Mai. This is what happens in [campaign] events. Whoever shouts louder slogans and draws attractive and implementable cakes will get more votes.

Compared to Mai Uchiha's campaign slogan, Minato's campaign manifesto pales in comparison. If it hadn't been for a better image, it would have been exploded.

As the election day approached, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally made a decision.

The official venue of the election was held at the Hokage Assembly Hall. Hiruzen Sarutobi had already arranged everything. Hundreds of ninjas with voting rights bustled into the assembly hall and took their seats in order according to the positions of name cards on the table.

Behind the name tag is a piece of paper and a pen. Different numbers are printed on the corner of the paper. The numbers on most papers are 1 or 2.

Fugaku is 5, Tsunade is 4, and Mai Uchiha is 7. This is the number of votes each of them has.

Fugaku glanced at the pen and paper in front of him, turned to Mai Uchiha next to him and asked: "How are you doing? Are you confident?"

"What confidence?"

"Confidence in the choice." Fugaku replied, and then he asked and answered himself: "It should be there. Tsunade-sama and I have visited a lot of people these days."

Fugaku's tone was a little excited. After many years, Uchiha, who founded Konoha with the Senju clan, was finally going to have a Hokage.

I think back a few years ago, the Uchiha clan still had to please the Hokage and survive in the cracks. Today, a few years later, it has become the number one wealthy clan that can compete with the Hokage clan and is truly worthy of the name.

"Whether you can choose it or not depends on the Hokage's wishes."

Uchiha Mai said casually: "However, I am 100% confident that I will become the most powerful person in Konoha after today."

In contrast, Uchiha Mai hopes that she will not be chosen. As far as the current situation is concerned, Hokage Advisor + Hokage Candidate is more popular than Hokage.

After all, the ninja world is a civilized society. If there is no such thing as the liquidation of the Bangzi Kingdom, Sarutobi Hiruzen will still be the Hokage of Konoha after he abdicates.

Mai Uchiha or Minato, if either of them took over the position of Hokage from Hiruzen Sarutobi, they would not be able to forcefully confront Hiruzen Sarutobi when they have different opinions.

First of all, it doesn't sound good to say it out. The third generation and the fourth generation can also be called a special teacher-student relationship. Old and young are orderly, and respecting the teacher is the traditional virtue of the ninja world.

On the other hand, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen hands over the position of Hokage, his authority in the Hokage system will not change.

I'm afraid that when many Hokage ninjas encounter problems, the first thing they think of will be him instead of the new Hokage.

The only person in Konoha who can break this situation is Tsunade. The founder of the medical ninja system + the only successor of Senju + the granddaughter of two Hokage's identity bonus is too great.

Even if Mai Uchiha is not afraid of the Hokage, he will be restricted by secular prejudice and public opinion after becoming Hokage, and there is nothing he can do about Sarutobi Hiruzen.

When eating in a pot, you have to abide by some rules and don't think about smashing the pot all day long.

Hokage candidate + Hokage consultant is actually a better choice, because it is a quasi-fifth generation, with a fourth generation in between, and has no direct connection with the first three generations of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

More convenient for distance fighting.

At the same time, because there is a Yondaime Hokage above his head, if one day he and Sarutobi Hiruzen fight to the point of breaking out, and the whole city is in trouble, he can still put the shit basin on the Yondaime's head.

Why do I, a mere Hokage candidate, dare to insist on my own opinion and go against the previous three generations?

That's all because I received the Yondaime's instructions!

The fourth generation was not satisfied with the current situation of the first three generations frequently intervening in Konoha's major decisions, and was unwilling to personally affect his own image. This hurt the relationship with the third generation, so he instructed me to argue with the third generation.

I, Mai Uchiha, feel bitter in my heart. I have sacrificed too much for Konoha.

A few minutes later, Hiruzen Sarutobi walked onto the podium with a bright face, stood in front of the table and held the ballot box and delivered a simple speech of seven to eight hundred words.

Then he got to the point and said: "Then, the final voting session for the fourth generation Hokage election has officially begun.

The candidates are Orochimaru, Namikaze Minato, and Uchiha Mai, three jounin who have made outstanding contributions to Konoha. I will not introduce their deeds one by one. I believe you all know them.

Put a pen and paper in front of you. The number of votes you have is printed on the corner of the paper. Write the name of the candidate you support on the paper and put it into this ballot box.

I will then do the statistics myself.

In line with the principle of fairness and justice, this voting will be anonymous. I hope everyone can understand."

After that, Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the paper and pen next to the ballot box and wrote a name, folded the paper and threw it into the box, setting an example for everyone.

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally has the right to vote, and the number of votes exceeds that of Mai Uchiha, up to 9 votes.

Hokage 4 votes + Minister of Education 3 votes + Sarutobi clan leader 1 vote + Konoha Jounin 1 vote.

Uchiha has 3 votes for the head of the Hollow Department, 3 votes for the head of the garrison headquarters, and 1 vote for the Jounin of Konoha. Konoha has the second highest number of votes for a single person.

After finishing the demonstration, Hiruzen Sarutobi walked off the stage with a smile on his face, and instantly cast a veiled look at Mai Uchiha.

There is something weird.

With the [Spiritual Vision] ability turned on, Mai Uchiha looked at the ballot box and saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's name clearly written on his ballot.

Sarutobi Hiruzen supported Minato. Under normal circumstances, he would fight for every vote and would never vote for Mai Uchiha with his 1 vote worth 9 votes.

So, there must be something weird about this election.

Uchiha Mai smiled. It seemed that she could get what she wanted. She picked up the pen on the table and wrote Namikaze Minato's name on the ballot.

Fugaku, who had just finished writing his name on the ballot, happened to look over. He was horrified when he saw Mai Uchiha doing this, and he persuaded her in a low voice: "Mai.

Now is not about the friendship between teachers and students, when humility is a virtue, every vote is precious, not to mention that your vote has the second highest value in Konoha.

I bet Namikaze Minato must have his own name written on that ticket. Even if he wrote your name, we still lose 3 votes."

"No problem." Mai Uchiha waved her hand.

Fugaku was extremely anxious in his heart. The two of them were only between brothers, but they couldn't ruin their great future because of being too rough.

wrong……

After a few seconds, Fugaku, who was distracted because it was related to Uchiha's long-cherished wish, realized that Uchiha's dance must have deep meaning.

Could it be that there is an inside story behind this election?

More than ten minutes later, everyone put their votes into the box, and Hiruzen Sarutobi walked onto the podium again and stood in front of the table.

After another speech, he said: "Next, I will read out the votes on the ballot, and the Sannin Jiraiya will also count the votes on the blackboard.

The candidate with the highest number of votes will become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha."

It was like running for election for village cadres in the village.

"Uchiha Mai, 1 vote.

Uchiha dance, 1 vote.

Namikaze Minato, 1 vote.

Namikaze Minato, 2 votes..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly took out the ballots from the box one by one, and after reading the vote count, he destroyed the ballots. There was no proof of fairness and justice.

Jiraiya recorded the votes of the three people on the blackboard.

Not long after, Uchiha Mai and Namikaze Minato had more than twenty "positive" characters under their names, and the number of votes exceeded 100, and the gap was very small.

Under Orochimaru's name, there are only a few correct characters, and the number of votes is not enough to be a fraction of the other two.

Sitting in the audience, Orochimaru felt as if he was sitting on an execution rack, and every glance around him looked like a whip dipped in chili pepper water.

Happiness belongs to them, I am just a clown.

Orochimaru clenched his fists angrily, feeling ashamed and wanting to leave this hall immediately.

Danzo's face was also livid. If he had known that Orochimaru was so useless, he would have voted for Minato Namikaze and himself.

At present, the votes of Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Mai are extremely close, and Orochimaru is far behind, which means that all votes cast for Orochimaru will become "wasted votes" and will not reflect any value.

If you vote for Namikaze Minato and yourself, you might be able to become the key to victory or defeat, allowing Namikaze Minato to overpower Mai Uchiha.

Danzo's attitude and expectations for this election are just like Lin Xian'er's feelings for the swordsman A Fei: Anyone can do it, but you can't.

The other side.

The door master sat upright, staring nervously at the inexhaustible number of votes on the blackboard. His left hand was clasped with Kushina's left hand next to him, and his fingers were intertwined.

Feeling that her husband's palm was quite moist, Kushina touched her belly and said softly: "Don't be nervous, Minato.

The gap between you and Mai is very small. At present, it seems that whoever wins may lose. But no matter which of you can become Hokage, it will be a good thing for Konoha.

Some things are fine as long as you work hard and don't leave any regrets. At least you have tried hard, which proves that in everyone's mind you are no worse than anyone else.

Regardless of whether you can become the Fourth Hokage or not, you are my husband and the father of my child."

"Um."

Namikaze Minato nodded, his nervousness relieved a lot, and he hugged his wife's waist, feeling more at ease than ever before.

Even if I can't become the Fourth Hokage, I will become the happiest husband and father in the ninja world.

Among the entire venue, only Mai Uchiha was the calmest, her expression remained as usual, because the outcome had already been determined.

Uchiha Mai has always maintained the [spiritual vision] state, and every time Hiruzen Sarutobi takes out a ballot, he can see the specific number of votes and names on it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi did some tricks and gave some of the votes that belonged to Mai Uchiha to Minato Namikaze.

The current real number of votes is 147 for Mai Uchiha, 106 for Sect Master, and 22 for Orochimaru.

emmm, Orochimaru's vote count is normal, Sarutobi Hiruzen neither added votes to him nor divided his votes.

Long before the election, Sarutobi Hiruzen had clearly supported Minato and devoted all the resources of the Hokage family to Minato, just to fight against Mai Uchiha.

Many of Orochimaru's supporters are from the Hokage family. Between Hokage and Orochimaru, they would definitely choose the former. Those who are willing to vote for Orochimaru are pure die-hards.

The combination of various reasons resulted in Orochimaru's dismal vote count.

"Namikaze Minato, 7 votes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen read out another ballot, and Jiraiya behind him also quickly added one straight character and two more strokes under Namikaze Minato's name.

Because of these 7 extra votes, Minato's vote count on the blackboard instantly surpassed that of Mai Uchiha, and the gap opened up by a straight margin.

There was an uproar in the conference room, and there was a burst of whispers.

Although voting is anonymous, many ballots with special numbers can still be used to deduce the identity of the voter.

For example, if the number of votes is 5 and the vote is for Uchiha Mai, then the voter is most likely Fugaku.

And 7 votes is even better, and it must be the head of the two departments, Konoha Jonin Mai Uchiha.

The master's anus tightened, surprise, bewilderment, gratitude and many other emotions flashed through his eyes, and he turned to look at Uchiha Mai.

Then he quickly lowered his head with guilt, feeling ashamed of his own selfishness and his shameless menstruation.

"What's wrong?" Kushina asked with concern.

The master sect murmured in a low voice: "In order to be successfully elected as the fourth generation head, I voted for myself.

In fact, at that time, I thought about voting for Orochimaru-sensei or Mai, especially the latter. His concept of "One Ninja World, One Dream" is really convincing.

In the end, my selfishness and shamelessness convinced me: vote for yourself. Voting for yourself is a sign of greater confidence. Doesn't voting for others mean that you think you are inferior to others?

Now I realize that I was wrong, Mai voted for him, no one will doubt whether Mai has the ability to match Hokage, and no one will doubt whether he is confident.

This is a sign of true confidence.

He has the noblest morals and the purest heart in the ninja world. Compared with Mai, I am just a despicable, shameless and selfish villain."
