Naruto's strongest force

Sure enough, not long after, Orochimaru's name was all on the ballot.

On the monitor, Tsunade only had 71 votes, Natsuki had 110 votes, and Orochimaru already had a full 260 votes.

This crushing vote ratio made everyone in the audience aware of the situation.

But the voting is not over yet, and the fifth generation Hokage cannot be announced now.

Tsunade crossed her arms and frowned slightly as she looked at the voting numbers, not knowing what she was thinking.

Orochimaru had a vague smile on his face, and seemed to be in a happy mood.

The chanting on the stage continued: "Orochimaru, Orochimaru, Orochimaru, Uchiha..."

But everyone knows that it is almost over.

Shisui and Natsuki on the stage looked at each other, and Natsuki nodded.

Then Natsuki suddenly raised his hand.

Immediately, an ANBU came to Xia Mu, and Xia Mu said something to the ANBU.

The ANBU looked surprised, and after confirming again and again, they quickly reported to the Third Hokage.

The third generation narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering what Xiamu was up to.

but.

The position of Hokage will never be given to you as Uchiha!

"Master Hokage, Uchiha withdrew from the Hokage election."

???

The words from the ANBU immediately confused the third generation.

"What did you say? Repeat it again!"

All three generations suspected that they had heard wrongly.

ANBU understood the Third Hokage's surprise very well, after all, he had confirmed it to Natsuki three times.

"Hokage-sama, you heard correctly, Natsuki Uchiha expressed his intention to withdraw from this election."

After confirming again, the Third Hokage frowned and asked:

"Did he say anything else?"

Darkness shook his head.

The Third Hokage asked about the score. After learning that Orochimaru was far ahead, he wondered if Natsuki was prepared to lose more decently.

Although he found a reason for Natsuki, the Third Hokage felt huge uneasiness in his heart.

However, the Third Hokage didn't know for a moment what Natsuki had in mind.

He had no choice but to wave his hands in annoyance: "Go down and inform."

Anbu took the lead.

The third generation came today to announce the start and the result of selecting the fifth generation Hokage.

He kept running back and forth during the middle of things, which was inconsistent with his identity.

So ANBU made a trip.

Below, Mito Kadoyan, as the advisory elder, picked up the microphone.

Voting here has also been temporarily stopped.

"We just received news that the honorary elder, Natsuki Uchiha, has withdrawn from the election for the Fifth Hokage."

After Mito Gate's voice came out, there was some commotion throughout the venue.

Some people take it for granted when they see the score on the stage.

But some people feel something is wrong. If they wanted to quit, they would have quit long ago. What is the meaning of quitting at this time?

The result at this time is clear at a glance.

"Natsuki Uchiha, here, on behalf of the Third Hokage, I would like to ask you whether you want to withdraw from the election of the Fifth Hokage."

There was silence below. Xia Mu nodded and said clearly: "Yes, I quit."

Although Mito Kadoyan didn't know what Natsuki was doing, he continued to announce:

"Okay, Uchiha Natsuki has withdrawn from the election for the Fifth Hokage. Now only Orochimaru and Tsunade are left. Please continue to vote."

Tsunade glanced at Natsuki in confusion and frowned even more.

Sasuke glanced around at his father and brother, who looked normal, and suppressed his doubts.

Naruto also scratched his head, a little confused.

But he also knew that he couldn't make a fuss on this occasion, he could only keep his doubts in his stomach.

……

Although there are still two candidates in name.

But the huge gap in votes let everyone know that there was no suspense in this election.

Some families are even considering the difference between Orochimaru's policy and that of the Third Hokage.

How should my family get along with Orochimaru in the future?

Sure enough, after the remaining dozen or so votes were counted.

The ballot box ahead is empty.

The counting staff opened the ballot box and spread it around. There was no vote inside.

The number of votes on the screen was fixed at Orochimaru with 376 votes, Tsunade with 113 votes, and Natsuki with 197 votes.

Orochimaru won with an overwhelming advantage.

His votes even exceeded Natsuki and Tsunade combined.

The third generation has already come down from the Hokage Building.

Everyone below was quiet, ready to wait for the Third Hokage's announcement.

The Third Hokage walked to the microphone with a smile on his face:

"The results of today's vote of confidence are out."

"I won't read the numbers above, everyone can see them."

"Then I declare!"

The people below were ready to cheer.

A clear voice directly interrupted the Third Hokage's speech.

"Wait!"

It was Natsuki Uchiha. He stood up and stopped the Third Hokage from speaking.

Sandai was forced to hold back his breath, and his old face turned red.

There was anger in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"Xia Mu, what do you want to do?"

Natsuki turned over and jumped onto the stage. He ignored the Third Hokage, whose face was ashen beside him.

He grabbed the microphone and said, "I suspect someone is cheating in the voting, and I demand that the votes be checked on the spot!"

"Wow..."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Xia Mu's words made everyone stupid.

There was a continuous sound of discussion below.

"How can there be cheating in voting? Isn't this something that can be detected?"

"Hmm... I'm really not sure. Natsuki Uchiha is our honorary elder of Konoha and the leader of the Uchiha clan. He shouldn't talk nonsense, right?"

"Is there really someone cheating?"

"I think the Uchiha clan can't afford to lose..."

"Then why Uchiha Natsuki withdrew from the election..."

The entire venue was buzzing with suspicions and discussions.

All the ninjas present exchanged glances with each other, but what they saw in each other's eyes was confusion.

No one knew what Uchiha Natsuki was planning to do.

Orochimaru's expression remained unchanged and he didn't care about the noise outside.

Minato, who was looking at the tickets on the stage, had already discovered the clue, and he looked at the Third Hokage.

Third Hokage, this is how you let me win back then, right?

Minato couldn't help but feel discouraged, and guilt flashed in his eyes when he looked at Orochimaru.

But he quickly cheered up.

He has already lived his life again, so why should he think about the past things?

There was a playful smile on Tsunade's lips in the audience.

She knew that Xia Mu would not give in so easily.

The third generation looked very bad:

"Natsuki, what are you doing? Are you questioning the fairness of the village!?"

“No one can cheat on a vote of confidence!”

Impartiality?hehe.

Xia Mu raised his head and refused to give in:

"I am a candidate for the Fifth Hokage, and I am qualified to ask for a vote check on the spot."

Xia Mu spoke into the microphone, and his words reached the ears of everyone in the audience instantly.

Everyone in the audience gradually became quiet.

They all looked at the Sandaime with their eyes.

The Third Hokage stared at Natsuki with cold eyes, and countless pairs of eyes looked over.

The third generation could only grit his teeth and declare:

"Okay! Now check the tickets on the spot, so that you, Uchiha Natsuki, will be convinced that you lost!"

The tense atmosphere on stage was felt by everyone in the audience.

Anko saw that the teacher was about to be elected as the fifth generation Hokage.

Just when my heart was surging, something suddenly appeared.

Natsuki Uchiha actually asked for a ticket check! ?

He actually suspected someone of cheating! ?

How could a teacher cheat! ?

It is impossible for a teacher to cheat!

Anko was very angry, and she stared in the direction of Natsuki Uchiha.

You are the one who cheats, your whole family cheats.
