Chapter 171 Is this Naruto selected?
The good news is.
The Uchiha clan has defected from Konoha, and Jiraiya also wants to become the Fifth Hokage, so the votes of this clan are no longer needed.
In this case, the upcoming Jonin vote of confidence is undoubtedly a good situation for Jiraiya.
first.
Junin of the Sarutobi, Zhuanju, and Mitomon tribes will undoubtedly fully support Jiraiya.
Next.
Konoha's Inokacho clan has always been a staunch supporter of the Hokage series, and has been loyal to the third generation for decades. As long as he gives an order, they will vote for Jiraiya.
There is also the Hyuga clan.
This family was also recruited by the Third Generation Police Department and joined him, so it is impossible to betray.
Jirai couldn't help but sigh with emotion that his mentor, the third generation, had already paved the way for him, allowing him to get half of Konoha Jominin's votes without any effort.
The rest are other small and medium ninjas and commoner ninjas.
In the conference room.
The third generation looked serious, and he also told Jirai:
"The votes of the four clans of Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, and Hyuga will be left to the old man. Jiraiya, before tomorrow's Jonin vote of confidence starts, you have to walk around the other ninjas more, the more votes you get The better, try to be foolproof."
"I see."
Zilai also answered solemnly.
Hearing this, the third generation nodded in relief, showing a smile:
"Then, I look forward to handing over the Hokage hat to you tomorrow. Get ready, Ziraiya."
"For Konoha, I will die."
Zilai also has a firm gaze.
At the same time, he also realized that today might be his last free day.
at dusk.
Jiraiya, who had been traveling among the various ninja clans in the village for most of the day, dragged his tired body, and unknowingly, he came to the gate of the ancestral house of the Senshou clan.
He came here to meet someone.
Tsunade.
Because, regarding the fact that he is about to become Hokage, among the tens of thousands of ninjas in Konoha, what Jiraiya hopes to get the most is the support of Tsunade.
However, to his disappointment.
"Master Tsunade just went out."
It was Shizune who opened the door, holding a pet piglet in her arms, and said to Zilai.
"Where did she go?" Ji Laiye was taken aback, and asked quickly.
"It seems... to find Uchiha to break it." Shizune frowned and made a guess.
Hearing Duan's name, Jilai was also taken aback.
ten minutes later.
Uchiha tribe outside the earth.
Jiraiya had just arrived here when he saw Tsunade's back from a distance and walked into Uchiha's meat reform department building.
"..."
He was speechless for a long time, and finally left sadly.
Meat reform department, equipment area.
Duan alone enjoys the huge gymnasium, sweating profusely for strength training.
What he enjoys the most is the feeling of muscle soreness after exercise.
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the door.
Bang.
Put down the barbell abruptly, picked up a towel beside him to wipe off his sweat, and then looked at the person who came.
"I agree to your terms. You teach me Yin Escape Illusory Physique, and I teach you Yin Seal."
Tsunade got straight to the point, it seems that he has thought clearly.
"Okay, refreshing enough."
There is no nonsense in judging, please ask Tsunade to wait for a while at the Taijutsu Dojo, "Let me take a shower first, and then we will start communicating."
Tsunade clasped his hands on his chest and nodded: "Yeah."
Sunset and moonrise, night falls.
In order to dispel Tsunade's worries, and to show his sincerity, he insisted on offering to teach Tsunade the Yin Escape Illusion Body Art first.
Tsunade naturally readily agreed to this.
So.
In the indoor dojo of the Meat Reform Department, two figures came and went, fighting together until late at night.
Nothing to say all night.
Early the next morning, I put on Uchiha's high-necked blue robe, tied a belt, and prepared to go out.
Tsunade came out from a side room and asked suspiciously, "Do you want to go out?"
"Today is the day of the Jonin vote of confidence, Jirai is going to become Hokage, don't you plan to witness this historic moment?"
With a flash in his eyes, he extended an invitation to Tsunade.
Tsunade shook his head and yawned: "I'm not interested in joining in the fun."
After finishing speaking, he raised his hands and stretched his waist, then turned and went back to the room.
She practiced phantom phantom with Duan until late last night, causing backaches and backaches, so she simply stayed here overnight, but it seems that she didn't sleep very well, and she needs to catch up on getting back to sleep.
Today seems to be a good day.
The wind is sunny and the sky is cloudless. A flock of birds are flying over Muye Village.
When Duan arrived in front of the Hokage building, there was already a sea of people here, and tens of thousands of Konoha villagers were eagerly waiting for the official announcement of the candidates for the Fifth Hokage.
During this difficult period, Konoha needs a young and energetic new Hokage to boost the morale of all the villagers and lead the village out of the trough.
Many people firmly believe that Jiraiya-sama is the chosen one.
The appearance of Duan caused a commotion in the crowd, and then—
Swish Swish Swish.
Looks full of resentment and hatred came from all directions and landed on him.
If eyes could kill, Duan would have died thousands of times by now.
In the eyes of the villagers, Uchiha is the root cause of Konoha's current situation. Uchiha Duan is even more parasitic on Konoha Village, the biggest cancer.
It is a disgrace to Konoha that such a person can still sit in the seat of Assistant Hokage with dignity.
Absolutely don't care about the villagers' hostility.
He walked straight into the Hokage Building and came to the rooftop, where Konoha's jōnin had gathered and were whispering.
after awhile.
As today's protagonist, Jiraiya the Fifth Hokage, finally appeared in the anticipation of everyone.
I saw him walking out of the crowd alone, then turned around, faced everyone on the rooftop, and bowed.
Then, Thirdaime also walked to Jiraiya's side, and announced in a deep voice:
"Now, the Jonin vote of confidence will officially begin. Those who support Jiraiya becoming the Fifth Hokage, please raise your hand."
The voice just fell.
Shua Shua.
Junin from the Sarutobi, Zhuanju, and Mitomon tribes raised their hands immediately.
Under the influence of their leadership, some junior ninjas of small and medium ninja races, as well as junior ninjas of civilian origin such as Maitkai, also raised their hands to vote in favor.
However, it is surprising.
Junin from the Zhuludie clan stood there with their hands folded, and they didn't raise their hands for a long time.
Um?
Seeing this scene, Sandaimu couldn't help shrinking his pupils and was taken aback.
It was only then that he realized that he might have made a mistake this time.
Yesterday, the third generation met with the patriarchs of the Inokacho tribe, and solemnly asked them to support Jiraiya in his position.
He thought that the three clans would obey him as always, but unexpectedly, they had their own ideas.
The third generation was indeed careless, or in other words, he overestimated the weight of his "former Hokage" in the hearts of others.
Not long ago.
In the battle between Konoha and Ugakure, the three tribes of Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi fought as the main force of Konoha, and suffered heavy losses as a result, many elites died on the battlefield.
Because of this reason, Ikacho is full of complaints about the third generation who hastily launched a war, and even has no good impression of the third generation's disciple Ziraiya.
The third generation came to see them yesterday. Although they seemed to be sincere and kept saying that they were for the will of Konoha and Fire, they didn't promise any specific benefits.
The three pig, deer and butterfly clans no longer eat this kind of thing.
At this time, they chose to use this method to express their protest and dissatisfaction to the Hokage family.
The third generation's face became a little ugly.
His gaze temporarily moved away from the Inokacho clan, and looked at the Hyuga clan aside.
Since Uchiha left, the Hyuga clan has become the largest clan in Konoha, with a large number of jonin in the clan, and has a lot of voice in the village.
As long as the Hyuga clan votes for it, even if there are no votes from the Inokacho clan, Jiraiya can still successfully ascend to the position of Hokage.
Don't let me down, Nizuru.
With such a mood in mind, the third generation looked at Hinata Hyuzu with scorching eyes, only to find that the latter had a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.
these days.
As the captain of the police department, Hinata Hizuru gradually understood one thing.
The seemingly glorious police department is actually a hard job.
The patrol team of the police department is a profession with merits and deeds.
No matter how civilized and law-enforced the Hyuga clan is, they will not be praised by the villagers if they do the security work in Konoha Village in an orderly manner, because in the eyes of many villagers, this is the job of the police department.
However.
Once the police department has conflicts and disputes with the villagers on public security issues, they are often accused by the villagers, saying that the police department abuses their power and rides on the villagers to do their best.
Simply put, it is thankless.
If this continues, I am afraid that within a few years, the reputation of the Hyuga clan in Konoha will deteriorate rapidly, and sooner or later they will become the second Uchiha.
What makes Hinata Hinata the most dissatisfied is—
The police department is extremely busy every day, but most of them deal with trivial matters.
Whenever a major situation arises, Konoha Anbe will intervene as soon as possible, excluding the police department in the name of protecting the village and Hokage.
The result is.
The police department does not have much power, but the work is full of hardships, helplessness and sadness, which makes the Hyuga clan who had a good vision for the police department before feel more and more disillusioned and deceived.
Now, Hinata Nyaku finally understands why the Uchiha clan gave up the police department.
He couldn't help but think of the pitiful eyes that Uchiha Fugaku cast on him at the handover ceremony of the police department.
The Uchiha clan threw a pair of heavy shackles that had been worn on their bodies for decades to the Hyuga clan.
Hinata put the shackles on herself happily, thinking she had found a treasure.
At the beginning.
When the third generation handed over the police department to the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hyuzu was grateful to him, but only now did he realize that this was a complete trap.
He finally saw the true colors of the third generation.
Now, the third generation is still fantasizing that the Hyuga clan will support his disciple Jiraiya to ascend the position of Hokage.
It's just a dream.
So.
The group of Hinata Ninja headed by Hinata Hizuru also adopted the same approach as the Inokacho tribe. They all folded their arms, and it seemed that they did not intend to raise their hands at all.
"Old man, what's going on?"
Jiraiya also noticed something was wrong at this time, and looked at the third generation in surprise.
If this continues, he will not be able to pass the Jonin vote of confidence within Konoha, and will miss the position of Hokage.
"interesting."
Duan couldn't help laughing when he saw this good scene.
It seems that the perverse behavior of the third generation over the years finally caused a backlash and broke out completely.
The Konoha right now.
There are already many hills, and all ethnic groups are fighting each other for their own interests, and they have become a mess, and they can no longer be united.
This is the harbinger of doom.
Time passed by every minute.
On the rooftop, just when the atmosphere reached a stalemate, and it seemed that Jiraiya was about to lose the fifth generation.
Whoosh.
An Anbu suddenly appeared, knelt down on one knee to the third generation in a panic, and reported in a hurried tone:
"Master Hokage, the Land of Thunder has suddenly declared war on the Land of Fire. The Fourth Raikage has led an army of 10,000 Yunyin to the south and has entered the Land of Tang!"
What? !
Hearing the news, everyone present except Duan changed their expressions.
The Land of Tang is a small country sandwiched between the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder, and has always existed as a buffer zone between the two great powers.
During the Third Ninja World War, the battle between Konoha and Yunyin was fought on the territory of Tango Country.
Now, is history repeating itself?
The third generation's face became more and more gloomy.
The situation he was most worried about finally happened.
Yun Yin suddenly declared war on Konoha, obviously because he had spotted Konoha's weakness and planned to take advantage of the situation to loot.
Behind this, is Duan secretly instigated?
Three Daimu's eyes froze, and he cast an angry look at Duan.
With a sneer on his face, he looked at the third generation calmly.
at this time.
"Master Hokage, the Daming House has sent a remote video call, please go to the meeting room immediately."
Another Anbe appeared and said so.
Although the third generation has announced his resignation as Hokage, the Anbu of Konoha have followed him for many years, and they are all loyal and only recognize him as Hokage.
"Go, go to the conference room."
The third generation did not dare to neglect, took Xiaochun, En and Jiraiya with them, and hurried down the rooftop.
Konoha and the other jounin looked at each other and followed.
One minute later.
Nearly a hundred people poured into the conference room mightily.
The TV screen on the wall.
The fire country daimyo was pacing back and forth while fanning his fan, with restlessness written all over his face.
When he saw the appearance of the third generation and others, he immediately put away the folding fan, slapped it on the table, and then asked with a straight face:
"What are you doing, you are still choosing Hokage here, the enemy's army has already hit the gate of the Fire Country!"
At this time, the daimyo's face was full of anger, and he lost his noble demeanor. He was completely different from his elegant and calm appearance yesterday.
That's because he just talked to the daimyo of the country of thunder and asked the latter to explain the declaration of war, but he was ridiculed by the other party and was very angry.
Facing the roar of the daimyo, everyone in Konoha looked at each other.
Um?
Seeing that no one answered his words, the daimyo's angry eyes finally fell on Jiraiya:
"Jiraiya, you are the Fifth Hokage, tell me what you plan to do?"
He didn't know that there was internal strife in Konoha, and Jiraiya failed to pass the Jonin confidence vote, so he thought that the other party had officially succeeded to the throne.
This is an opportunity.
Seeing this, the third generation immediately gave Jiraiya a look.
Jiraiya gritted his teeth, his expression became firm, and he made a resounding promise to the daimyo on the spot:
"Master Daimyo, please rest assured. I will personally lead the Konoha troops to the Land of Tang, and I will stop the Cloud Shadow Army at all costs and prevent the enemy from stepping into the border of the Land of Fire!"
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Daimyo's expression softened a little.
"Okay, I hope you will not disappoint me, Fifth Generation. In terms of logistics, the country of fire will provide all necessary support to Konoha."
Daimyo calmed down and said so.
The Kingdom of Fire and Muye Village have a close relationship.
He just finished speaking.
"It's not good, my lord!"
A minister of the Fire Nation suddenly appeared on the TV screen. After falling, he ran to the daimyo and reported what happened to the latter.
Snapped!
Daimyo heard the words, his face turned pale in a flash, his whole body was struck by lightning, and the folding fan in his hand fell to the ground.
