Started as a Hokage

Seeing that the person involved, Gen Shuyi, didn't speak, it was hard for everyone to say anything, although it was not in line with the rules of the ninja world for the previous generation of Hokage to run for the next election.

But after all, the era of Ninja Village has only started 100 years ago. Many things are newly developed. Who would have known what Naruto was a hundred years ago.

In fact, Minamoto Shuyoshi was relieved when he heard that Sarutobi Hiruzen was going to run. He was not worried about Sarutobi Hiruzen competing with him.

He was afraid that Hiruzen Sarutobi would be forced to serve as acting Hokage by virtue of his high qualifications as Hokage, and then start the long fifth generation inspection, forcing him to use rogue tricks to prolong the time.

In that case, even Yuan Shuyi couldn't say anything, after all, his qualifications were too low.

Even if everyone recommended him as a candidate, it would be justifiable if Hiruzen Sarutobi proposed to conduct an investigation for a period of time.

On the contrary, it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who compromised, and everyone was on the same starting line. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen would have a huge advantage, at least Minamoto Shugi would not have to be controlled by others.

Besides, Minamoto Shuyoshi was also confident that he would not lose to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen ran for election, and everyone was happy, especially those guys who opened gambling houses.

Originally, if other people competed with Yuan Shuyi, everyone would be worried about the guy opposite Yuan Shuyi.

There is no way Minamoto Souyoshi's momentum has been too strong recently. Even outsiders know the name of Konoha Minamoto Souyoshi. Coupled with a series of measures and publicity, now the ninjas and villagers at the bottom of Konoha will generally support Minamoto. Shuyi.

This kind of one-sided support rate makes it difficult for these guys who open gambling houses to make money.

But now that Sarutobi Hiruzen is running for election, the situation is different.

Even though Minamoto Shugi has become more popular in Konoha in recent days, Hiruzen Sarutobi has been the Hokage for decades. His reputation during his tenure was not bad, and he is generally recognized by the villagers and ninjas.

In this case, the situation suddenly turned upside down, and Yuan Shuyi became the weaker party.

After all, compared to Minamoto Sougi, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, is the most reasonable and acceptable one.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen will be the favorite in this Hokage election, but Minamoto Souyoshi is not a one-sided defeat.

Those Jonin with the fourth generation Hokage cheered for Gen Shuyi, and his momentum was not much worse.

What gambling houses like most is this kind of situation. It is not one-sided and anyone can win. Only then can they make a lot of money.

At this time, several clan leaders felt that their mouths were about to burst into laughter. They originally looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with murderous eyes, but now they wanted to hug him and kiss him.

God of Wealth, this is it!

He was worried about everyone's urgent needs, and would come to help at the expense of his own reputation. He was worthy of being the third generation Hokage.

At this time, Inokacho frequently winked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and then when he saw that Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't respond at all, he winked at the two elders eagerly.

As a result, he saw the two elders looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen in a daze.

"Hiruzhan, you, you are crazy!"

Xiaochun said with a shiver when he went to bed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at her and shook his head: "No."

"Then you..." Before Koharu could finish his sentence, he was stopped by Mito Kadoyan.

Seeing Mito Menyan shaking his head at himself, Xiaoharu could only sit down with his head down without saying a word after going to bed.

In the eyes of them, including Inokacho, Sarutobi Hiruzen was crazy.

Why should you run for the Fifth Hokage?

It's not necessary at all.

If he wins, he will be at his current position. If he loses, Minamoto Shuyoshi will step on Sarutobi Hiruzen to take the position, and the momentum will be even greater.

There is no benefit at all to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Even if everyone objected to the previous issue, Hiruzen Sarutobi could still delay it.

Then urgently find Tsunade or Jiraiya. I believe they will come back to help after knowing the current situation in Konoha and the teacher's difficulties.

But now that Sarutobi Hiruzen has personally come to an end, there is no room for turning things around.

Once he fails, not only Sarutobi Hiruzen but also the entire Hokage series will become a stepping stone for Gen Shuyi, and he will not be able to hold his head up for a long time in the future.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his two friends beside him, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

Would he not be aware of something they both knew?

But there is no way!

They are no longer what they used to be.

The ANBU has been destroyed and he can't even find anyone who can help. What can he do?

Rely on the two elders or the ninjas from the Hokage line?

Both elders are rootless, and it is difficult for them to protect themselves.

The ninja clan of the Hokage family had an ambiguous attitude, wandering between Minamoto Shuiyi and himself.

Not reliable at all.

To put it bluntly, they became the Hokage line for profit.

Now what Minamoto Shugi can give far exceeds the benefits that Sarutobi Hiruzen can bring.

Why did Sarutobi Hiruzen think that they would always be on the same side?

What's more, these people have no idea how powerful the group behind Yuan Shuyi is. It is a force supported by the power of an entire country.

It is impossible to confront Yuan Shuyi at this time. Once the methods of the two elders are followed, who can guarantee that Yuan Shuyi will not overturn the table?

Now how can the Hokage family have the strength to fight against Gen Shuyi!

No one can say whether it will cause a bigger disaster by then.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to abandon an old face and compete openly and honestly. Even if Yuan Shuyi loses, he can't say anything.

If Yuan Shuyi wins, there will be nothing to say.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was now walking a tightrope, and only he knew the pressure and difficulty involved.

If he didn't want to continue walking on the tightrope, he would have to walk on the wooden plank and fight with Yuan Shuyi.

"Since the Sandaime-dono is going to run for election, shouldn't it be time for the interim leader of the village and the host of the Fifth-Daime election to be replaced as well?"

One of the clan leaders asked with a frown.

Everyone was silent when they heard the words.

Indeed, Sarutobi Hiruzen is a candidate, and Zauba seems to be inappropriate in the position of Acting Hokage or Temporary Hokage. He can't be both a contestant and a referee.

But the problem is, who else in Konoha can take on the role of temporary leader of Konoha now besides Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"It's better to set up a decision-making group. Several high-level officials from Konoha will serve as members of the decision-making group. All decisions will be reviewed and approved by the entire decision-making group, and can only be implemented if approved by all members. This will also eliminate the problem of one-word speech. , what do you think?"

The representative of the Nara family stood up and suggested.

Gen Shuyi looked at the patriarch of the Nara family in surprise. This proposal was very reformative. Could it be that his appearance led to an increase in productivity and a change in the superstructure?

Everyone found it very interesting when they heard it. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. They all nodded and thought this decision was a good one.

As a result, everyone counted those who were qualified to join the decision-making group.

They are all from the Hokage series.

This is completely different from Sarutobi Hiruzen continuing to serve.

They began to object again.

In the end, I had no choice but to add the heads of several relatively large families, including the Aburame family, Hyuga family, Inuzuka family and Uchiha family.

Although the Hokage family is actually still the main group, they are not in the same camp anyway.

At least the Uchiha clan is still stirring up trouble.

Everyone felt that this was a last resort, and they pinched their noses and agreed.

But deep down, I feel that Yuan Shuyi’s election this time will be difficult.

The meeting is almost over here.

Everyone was happy, the fifth generation election event continued, the Hokage family regained the power they deserved, and the Uchiha family entered the top ranks of Konoha in a dignified manner.

Perhaps the only one who suffered was Yuan Shuyi.

In fact, Minamoto Shuyoshi was quite satisfied. At least Sarutobi Hiruzen abided by the rules of the game, and the two sides were able to compete in a relatively fair situation.

Yuan Shuyi actually has certain advantages.

After all, how many people in Konoha now have the surname Yuan, even he doesn't know.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that he could defeat Gen Shuyi based on his reputation, so he should give it a try.

The Konoha now is not the Konoha it used to be.

Times have already changed.

Yuan Shuyi walked out of the conference room easily, causing everyone to look at him strangely.

Others might think that Gen Shuyi was pretending to be relaxed, but Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart became even heavier.

Yuan Shuyi acted too confident. He felt that the events just now did not have any impact on him. Was he feeling confident?

Sarutobi Hiruzen took two puffs of cigarette, handed a scroll to the head of the Nara family and said: "Two envoys from the Kingdom of Thunder will come to the Kingdom of Fire to establish allies, and they will pass through Konoha. You must receive them well and do your best to satisfy them. Their request. The Kingdom of Thunder now has strong military force and has always coveted the Kingdom of Fire. Don’t give them any excuses.”
