Wandering the ninja world from the Valley of the End

The atmosphere in the tavern was still lively. The ninja who spoke was only in his twenties and was a new generation of ninja.

The time between World War II and World War III was not long. Including the time of the war, the span was more than fifteen years. Therefore, although these new generation ninjas respected the Sannin who became famous in World War II and recognized their strength, they could not Compared to Namikaze Minato of the same generation, they still prefer the latter.

After all, for them, the Third Ninja World War was the Ninja World War in which they fully participated. Minato who emerged in this Ninja World War was the hero closest to them.

However, just after he spoke in support of Minato, the ninja on the other side stood up and said angrily: "Fart!"

This was a middle-aged ninja who was quite drunk at this time. He pointed at this ninja and said, "How can you evaluate Mr. Orochimaru? Do you know how terrifying the war in the Land of Rain was? Not only did we If you have to face the Rain Ninja, the Iwa Ninja and the Sand Ninja, if you weren't the Sannin-sama, you wouldn't be farting here today."

In anger, he tore off his upper body coat, revealing his bronze skin, which was covered with knife wounds. The concentration was shocking, and it also represented his life-and-death record. There was a scar in the center that extended all the way to his abdomen. It was so deep that some ninjas nearby were secretly dumbfounded. They didn't know how he survived such an injury in the first place.

"Did you see it? It's this scar. When I fought hard in the Land of Rain, and was later besieged by the troops of the Land of Rain led by Hanzo, I was saved by the Sannin. In terms of merit, Namikaze Minato is better. Ignorant The juniors have no idea what kind of pressure we faced back then.”

The ninja cursed angrily. He was a chuunin in the Third Ninja War, and now he is a special jounin. The reason for the battle between the three ninjas and Hanzo was because the ninjas in Konoha were besieged. Go to the rescue, and it was that battle that made the Sannin famous. From then on, those rescued ninjas became loyal supporters of the Sannin.

Ninjas, especially young ninjas, always care about face, especially after drinking. The young ninja who had just started to speak blushed and said angrily: "Even so, it was Minato-sama who took the greatest credit in this ninja war. You can't be fine just because you were saved on the battlefield. Anyway, I I support Minato-sama.”

The two got into an argument about this, and as they both drank, the verbal conflict intensified. In the end, it was unclear who made the first move, and it turned into a fight.

The ninjas who were watching gathered in a circle, cheering each other, and the scene became completely chaotic.

It can be said that this is the current situation in Konoha Village. The Three War Faction on Namikaze Minato's side and the Second World War Faction on Orochimaru's side are respectively supporting the popularity of this election.

......

Time passed quietly, and there were only three days left before the election of the Fourth Hokage. The atmosphere in Konoha Village was getting more and more heated.

In a courtyard in the center of the village, there was light snow in the sky again. Orochimaru, dressed in a white kimono, sat on the wooden corridor, quietly watching the snowflakes fall.

The prismatic snowflakes fell on the hand and quickly merged into water droplets, unable to be preserved even for a moment.

He was wearing very thin clothes, but with the protection of chakra, he didn't feel cold.

The general election is in three days. If you say you don't have any ideas, you would be lying. The ninjas in the village have a special feeling for the position of Hokage. The only ones who can't be moved are Tsunade and Jiraiya. A kind of ninja who was struck.

Speaking of Jiraiya, he left the village a few days before the election. The story is still the same. He went out to collect materials. I heard that he had new inspiration and wanted to write a new novel.

He saw the overall atmosphere of Konoha and had some thoughts on the election of Hokage. This time, his teacher seemed to be more inclined to Namikaze Minato. Orochimaru also understood the reason.

It's nothing more than Namikaze Minato's gentle personality, and he is also a representative of the dove faction, and Minato is very popular among the new generation. If he is elected as Hokage, it will inspire the younger generation of ninjas and bring a new wave of prosperity to the village. Vigorous.

s In addition, there is also the reason for Orochimaru's own personality. In recent years, Orochimaru and Sarutobi have not been so close, and his own personality is a bit extreme, which makes it difficult for Sarutobi to grasp.

Generally speaking, from all aspects of data, Namikaze Minato has a greater chance of winning.

......

The day of Konoha Village's general election finally came, and on this day, all the villagers got up early.

Whether they were older or younger, whether they were ninjas or ordinary people, they all headed towards the Hokage Building.

In front of the Hokage Building, it will be decided who will be the Fourth Hokage, where the stage for the election has already been set.

In Konoha, even some older ninjas have not experienced the so-called Hokage election. The average lifespan of ninjas is too short. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo are definitely considered to have a long life, but even they have not He had experienced the early elections in Konoha, not to mention other ninjas.

When the villagers came to the Hokage Building, a magnificent election stage appeared in front of them. Anbu ninjas had already appeared below to maintain order.

As candidates, Minato Namikaze and others remained calm on the stage, watching the villagers continue to gather here.

Even if they are excited, they try to look calm. At this time, they must not show too much joy or anger.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, sat in the back and watched this scene quietly. Although he was partial to Minato in his heart, he also had complicated feelings for Orochimaru. After all, he was his favorite disciple, so he tried to be as fair as possible.

Let's leave the task of choosing Hokage to all the villagers and see what they really think.

Everything went according to plan. At ten o'clock in the morning, Sarutobi stepped forward and personally announced the start of the election.

Voting, classification, everything was carried out calmly, and the whole election lasted for a whole day. Fortunately, the number of villagers in Konoha was not large, and Sarutobi had enough manpower prepared.

As night fell and the lights were lit in Konoha Village, the statistical results came out. Namikaze Minato was elected with a huge advantage over Orochimaru with half the votes. The selection of the Fourth Hokage is confirmed.

Later I heard that Danzo wanted to express his objection, but was forcefully suppressed by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At the beginning of Konoha's forty-eighth year, Namikaze Minato became the fourth Hokage.

At this point, all the elections for the Fourth Kazekage, the Fourth Raikage and the Fourth Hokage have been completed. The Kiri Ninja Village is also preparing for the Mizukage to take over. Except for the immortal Onoki of the Iwa Ninja Village who is still holding on, the ninja world is completely Enter the era of the fourth generation of shadows.
