I teach kendo in the ninja world

Based on this idea, Uchiha and Hinata, two wealthy families with sufficient strength, are not actually the ideal candidates in Araki's mind.

Their role is just to be the first to stand up and completely kick out the old forces of the Hokage family.

Sure enough, I saw the heads of the two wealthy clans in Konoha Village speaking at the same time, and then a group of ninjas from small and medium-sized families also came to support them. Even Inuzuka, Aburame, etc. usually have good relations with the Hokage family. , but not very close families all stood up.

There were even some ninjas with civilian backgrounds playing drums.

It can be said that Araki's proposal has the support of everyone in Konoha except the die-hard Hokage family.

After all, no one had a chance originally, but now, no matter how big the chance is, at least they have an idea.

Qiudao Qifeng sighed in his heart when he saw this, but he had no intention of intervening.

As a disciple of the Second Hokage, except for Uchiha Kagami, who died early, he was the only one who was not at the peak of power during the reign of the Third Hokage.

Rather than being squeezed out, it is better to say that he sees things more clearly. Of course, to put it harshly, it can also mean that he is not motivated enough and just muddles along, choosing to lie down.

If you stand high, you can certainly see far, but you may also fall hard.

Today is the best example. Four old classmates who were at the top of Konoha were killed in one fell swoop, but he, the least motivated person, was still staying here.

Seeing that the majority of supportive voices below, Araki continued: "Since everyone supports it, it's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Today, under the joint witness of our three kingdoms of water, wind and earth, Konoha will be elected. The Fifth Hokage."

After saying that, he turned to look at Akimichi Tifeng, "Senior Tifeng, as the most virtuous and respected person in Konoha, please personally preside over this matter."

"Ah... well."

Qiu Daofeng sighed slightly and agreed, "Then I don't know, what are the rules for this election?"

"The Hokage of Konoha is chosen, so naturally he will follow Konoha's past rules. Senior Tofeng doesn't have to worry, he can do whatever he wants."

Although he heard what Araki said, Akimichi Fengfeng did not dare to use it at will, but simply described Konoha's past process.

"In the Hokage election, under normal circumstances, the candidates must be determined first. The number can be one or more. Then a vote of confidence is held for the Jonin. The one with the most votes will be established as the preliminary candidate. Finally, all villagers will vote A vote of confidence, and if there are no problems, report the name and get the final appointment.”

"Hmm...it doesn't sound like a big problem."

Araki pondered, "But I still have two questions."

"Please say."

"First, how did this initial number of candidates come about?"

"If you are nominated at the jounin meeting and the Hokage agrees, you can become a candidate."

"Second, when it comes to the voting of all the villagers, is there only one candidate left? All the others were eliminated in the Jounin vote of confidence?"

"Uh, yes. Villagers can only vote to trust or distrust one candidate."

"I don't think that's right."

Araki shook his head.

"W-what's wrong?"

"According to such rules, wouldn't the villagers' voting rights be in vain? Everything was decided at the jounin meeting, so what's the point of asking them to vote again?"

Araki suggested, "How about adding the number of villagers' votes to the number of jounin votes, and judging the outcome based on the total number of votes?"

"But the number of villagers is much greater than that of jounin. In this case, jounin voting will seem meaningless." Akimichi Tifeng said hesitantly.

"This is simple and can weight the jounin's votes."

Araki said casually, "Let's count the number of villagers who will participate in the vote and see how many times it is the number of jounin. Then increase the number of votes for each jonin in equal proportions so that the total number of their votes is equal to that of the villagers. As long as the number of votes is equal, that’s enough.”

"This... is not impossible."

This method may sound a little complicated, but it is indeed more reasonable and makes both villagers and jounin feel more involved.

The reason why Araki suggested this was of course not because he wanted to torment people for nothing.

But compared to these experienced Jonin, most of whom have clear minds, the villagers are easier to be fooled, and their votes are easier to win, as long as they can draw cakes.

Of course, this is his opinion. For those who want to run for election, it is actually easier to win votes for Jonin because they are familiar with each other and only need to make some targeted exchanges of interests.

But the group of villagers is too large. It seems that it is of little use to win over one or two people, or 100 or [-] people.

But if you want to win over more, the energy and time required are too huge.

For a time, many aspiring people frowned and began to think hard.

As for objection?

Well, no one is a fool. After such a long time, the Konoha ninjas who came back from the outside have already educated the jounin who stayed in the village about Araki's strength and achievements.

Under the absolute suppression of force, no one dares to joke with their own lives.

Seeing that everyone was meaningless, Araki nodded with satisfaction, "In that case, it's settled. It just so happens that all the Jonin in Konoha Village are here now, so we will complete the first item of the election - the nomination process. . Then the candidates can have some time to win votes for themselves. How long is this time usually?"

He looked towards Qiudao Feng.

"Um...there is actually no fixed time interval. Anyway, it can be done until the voting starts." Akimichi Tifeng said.

He didn't feel it at first, but today when Araki asked him about every detail, he immediately discovered that there were so many laxities in Konoha's election process.

"That's true, but we people can't stay in Konoha for too long..."

Araki said words that moved Akimichi Tofeng. He was now afraid that Araki and the others would stay in the Land of Fire.

"Then let's do it in three days. The Jounin voting will begin after three days, and the village vote will be held after the end. The schedule should be tight."

"Ok, no problem."

Then, at Araki's signal, Akimichi Tifeng performed a partial doubling technique, enlarging his head, and said to all the jounin:

"Now, I will preside over the Jonin meeting. Those who want to be elected as the Fifth Hokage can nominate themselves, or they can nominate others. They raise their hands first before speaking."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately raised their hands.

"I nominate Hyuga Clan leader, Hyuga Hizashi!"

"I nominate the leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku!"

After there were two leaders, the jounin below immediately became excited, and one name after another was reported.

After a while, almost all the patriarchs of medium-sized and above families were nominated, and many even nominated themselves directly.

The number of candidates for this term of Hokage has set a record in Konoha.
