"The Sarutobi clan..."

With similar rewards, it is impossible for the Third Hokage to blatantly allocate benefits to his family that are much higher than those of other families. The future is long.

"The Nara clan will award 3 Jonin places and 5 ANBU places. The Nara clan's land outside Konoha Village can be expanded by [-]%."

As soon as Mito Kadoren finished speaking, several Uchiha jonins in the front row were about to get angry. Fortunately, they were stopped in time by the eyes of Fugaku and the elder.

Namikaze Minato behind him let go of the seal on his left hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

Throughout Konoha, there are still a few ninjas who master the one-handed seal.

However, because the ninjutsu they are good at are different, the ninjutsu that can be released with one hand seal is naturally different.

It is not possible to cast all the ninjutsu you have learned with one hand.

Minato didn't want to be an enemy of Uchiha. He was familiar with Fugaku and deeply sympathized with his family's plight.

However, for the stability of Konoha, sometimes choices have to be made.

Fortunately, Fugaku did not disappoint him and did not let the Uchiha riot.

The days are long, and he believes that he can change the status quo and allow the Uchiha clan to truly integrate into Konoha.

More than an hour later, the combat merit rewards of all clans and civilian jounin had been announced.

No one has any objection, no one dares to have any objection.

In such a grand conference, no one would be stupid enough to give eye drops to the Third Hokage.

In addition to superficial rights, there are also some gray interests that cannot be discussed on the table. This depends on the secret methods of each family.

"Next is the second topic of this conference, the election of the Fourth Hokage."

Mito Monohan finished announcing his meritorious service, Koharu Koharu took over the topic, stood up and said.

After hearing this, everyone gathered their thoughts and sat upright, waiting for the next step.

"First of all, announce the list of Hokage candidates recommended by the major families and Konoha jounin."

"One of the three ninjas, Orochimaru."

Gen Zheng Miao Hong, powerful and outstanding in battle, Orochimaru was the first to be nominated, which is understandable.

"Uchiha Fuyake."

It is impossible for Konoha's top leaders to ignore their petitions as the largest wealthy family in Konoha in name only.

"One of the three ninjas, Jiraiya. To add, Jiraiya himself is not willing to accept the position of Hokage."

This is the choice of most small families and civilian ninjas in Konoha.

"Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya's disciple, the greatest contributor to the Ninja World War, the yellow flash that makes Iwagakure and Kumogakure villages terrified!"

He has strength, connections, and military exploits. As for Namikaze Minato's character, everyone knows it and there is no need to elaborate.

Namikaze Minato in the rear was a little embarrassed by the praise, and the civilian ninjas beside him cast admiration, appreciation, and friendly glances at him.

"The last candidate, Shimura Danzo."

Like Uchiha Fugaku, his name was simply mentioned.

Regarding the choice of the position of Hokage, Koharu and Men Yan fully supported Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision.

It's really ironic, with Konoha's high-level F4 around, it's impossible for the Uchiha clan to have a Hokage;

With Hiruzen Sarutobi and the two advisor elders here, Danzo Shimura has basically no chance of becoming Hokage.

The position of Hokage must be a positive image in the sun. From the day the root was established, Danzo was destined to live in darkness for a lifetime.

On one side of the stage, Danzo Shimura's mouth slightly raised.

It's not that he is completely sure that he is qualified to be the Hokage, but with this nomination, his future maneuverability will be greater.

With the blessing of Hashirama's cells, he has full confidence in his long life.

“Next, let’s start voting!”

After Koharu gave the order to go to bed, several Chuunin staff quickly issued voting tickets. Except for the Third Hokage, who had two votes, everyone else had one vote.

"I recommend..."

The Third Hokage suddenly spoke, paused for a moment, and then continued,

"Namifeng Minato!"

Whoa!

There was a commotion among the small families and civilian jounin in the back row, and they were somewhat unprepared for Sarutobi Hiruzen's sudden statement.

The Third Hokage did not recommend his disciple Orochimaru, and he should not help each other. Such straightforward support for Namikaze Minato surprised everyone and also gave them a hint of joy.

Compared to Orochimaru, everyone is still more willing to accept Namikaze Minato.

As for the senior executives and major families in the front row, they have known about this for a long time. Except for the Uchiha clan who are unwilling to accept it, everyone else is well aware of it.

Orochimaru's expression condensed, and the air around him became a little colder.

Danzo smiled slightly, knowing that after this incident, the relationship between Orochimaru and the root became stronger.

The next voting session went very smoothly, with Minato Namikaze overwhelmingly overwhelming the other candidates.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru were ranked second and third. What made Danzo aggrieved was that Fugaku was ranked in front of him.

"In this case, Namikaze Minato wins the election, and a handover ceremony as Hokage will be held in one month, and the whole village will be notified."

Pa...pa~

The audience burst into continuous applause. Minato kept smiling and accepted everyone's congratulations calmly without any stage fright.

"Men Yan, Xiaochun, please go to the daimyo's place."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to the left and right,

"Yes!"

The two nodded their heads.

At the end of the conference, everyone left one after another, some happy and some sad.

Boom~boom!

"Master Hokage, Uchiha Fugaku asks to see you."

"Come in."

"Lord Hokage, our clan has almost gone out in full force to fight, so I'm afraid it's unfair to treat us like this."

Fugaku said straight to the point, he didn't want to come because he knew it would be useless.

But as the clan leader, he had to come, and he always had to do something to show to the clan.

"Fugaku, please be patient and sit down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not angry. Stabilizing Fugaku and the Uchiha clan had always been his strategy.

The reason why he did not give the Uchiha clan the rewards they deserved was to leave the weight of winning people's hearts to his successor.

Fugaku saw that the Third Hokage was not in a hurry to reply, so he had no choice but to sit down and wait for the next sentence.

"Konoha will never forget the contribution of the Uchiha clan in the war."

Sarutobi Hiruzen first praised him.

Fugaku doesn't take it seriously either. He is also the leader of the clan. Leaders are accustomed to using routines, and there must be a "but" behind them.

What comes after "but" is the important point, what comes before is just nonsense.

"But what happened in the Kingdom of Water, what you did... was a bit too much."

"I wonder what Hokage-sama is talking about about the Kingdom of Water?"

Fugaku would naturally not admit that the Uchiha clan had done anything other than assisting the Uchiha elder.

"You and I know this very well. If you don't admit it, I won't get to the bottom of it. How about equalizing the merits and demerits?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said slightly threateningly.

"I don't understand what Hokage-sama said. In that case, I'll leave."

Fugaku's goal has been achieved (to express the dissatisfaction of his tribe, but he has no hope for more rewards.), and he does not want to talk about other things that are detrimental to his tribe.

"The mysterious flame organization and the Sharingan mask man who calls himself 'Yu' are really not from the Uchiha clan?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked abruptly.

"no!"

Fugaku replied simply and clearly, then turned and walked towards the door.
