In the Jonin class conference room, many Jonin put their votes into the mailbox.

"The consideration time is ten minutes. Please write as soon as possible, jounin, otherwise it will be deemed as a waiver."

Many jounin in the field did not write, especially a large number of jounin from the Hyuga family. All members did not touch the pen from the beginning to the end. Namikaze Minato urged all the jounin to vote and count the votes.

The voting of the jounin class is of great reference significance, but it does not mean that the person with the most votes will definitely be elected as Hokage. There are also the opinions of several senior people and the opinions of the Daimyos of the Land of Fire.

Although the Fire Nation daimyo has little control over Konoha, if he strongly opposes it, he will still have some influence.

"Okay, let's start counting now."

After waiting for about ten minutes and seeing that there were no jounin in the room to vote, Minato Namikaze ended the voting session and started counting the votes.

Namikaze Minato took away the outer shell of the envelope box and revealed the glass container inside, which contained many notes. Transparent and open statistics would be more convincing to the public.

"One vote for Namikaze Minato."

Namikaze Minato picked up the first piece of paper, which had his name written on it, and couldn't help but reveal a shy and sunny smile.

"cough cough"

Sarutobi Hiruzen behind him noticed Namikaze Minato's state and couldn't help but cough slightly.

When Namikaze Minato heard the sound of coughing, his face suddenly became serious. As a candidate for Hokage, sunshine is very important, but a majestic aura is more important.

"Naru Uchiha gets one vote."

"Orochimaru one vote."

"Tsunade's vote"

The blackboard was moved from behind. As Namikaze Minato read the name, he wrote the name on the blackboard, and then drew a character on the back. Each straight character was counted as five votes.

Minato Namikaze moved faster, grabbed the ballot, and read the name aloud.

As Namikaze Minato recited, the three senior executives behind him could not help but frown slightly.

Namikaze Minato grabbed the glassware, but there was no note in it. He nodded and whispered to the ninja who was counting behind him:

"There are no more notes. Count the votes."

The chuunin on the blackboard in the back began to count.

"Namikaze Minato, sixty-one votes."

"Uchiha Naraku, sixty-three votes."

"Tsunade, seventeen votes."

"Orochimaru, eleven votes."

"Jiraiya, five votes."

"Hatake Sakumo, three votes"

There are also some jounin who vote for some other jounin in Konoha, but they are all one vote and two votes, so they can't make any waves.

"Our usual acts of kindness still make a difference at critical moments."

Naraku couldn't help but smile when he heard that he ranked first in the vote. In the hasty voting, except for the Hokage department who had discussed it, the votes were concentrated, and Naraku had the Uchiha Jonin vote, the rest of the votes were in chaos.

The Sannin had no ambitions for the position of Hokage. They traveled extensively, studied ninjutsu, and were busy with medical treatment. They didn't even come to the meeting.

Naraku saved many ninjas during the war. When fighting Sunagakure, many ninjas were poisoned, as well as Akita Yuya, and many more.

Uchiha Naraku's reputation was praised and praised by many Konoha ninjas.

Uchiha Naraku is powerful, has no airs, and never bullies the weak. Instead, he is very helpful and gives guidance to the Konoha ninjas. At this moment, it has blossomed.

Of course, there are still many middle genin in Konoha, but the middle genin positions cannot participate in the jounin class meeting. Maybe the three ninjas have more fans among the middle genin, but in the jounin class, they do not have the support of the third generation, but they are running for election But Naraku.

"The top four are Uchiha Naraku, Namikaze Minato, Tsunade, and Orochimaru. The four are Hokage candidates. They also need to refer to the Daimyo's suggestions and rulings. We will hand the list to the Daimyo and wait for the final result."

Koharu said softly as he went to bed. He didn't expect Uchiha Naraku to have the support of so many Jounin of Konoha. The Sarutobi family and the Inorakacho family had more than fifty votes combined.

The total number of Uchiha votes was less than forty. In the voting of civilians and small and medium-sized ninjas, Uchiha Naraku received a lot of support.

The Sannin's Tsunade Hime and Orochimaru are also supported by many civilians. The Yellow Flash, which is fully supported by the Hokage Department, has an average number of votes among civilians.

Namikaze Minato became famous relatively late. Although he was supported by many Konoha jounin, his reputation was still far behind the established Konoha heroes.

Namikaze Minato may not be bad in terms of strength, but reputation is something that cannot be compensated for by other heroes in just one or two battles.

The Sannin of Konoha have experienced so many battlefields. This is because the Third Generation and others support Namikaze Minato. If they support the Sannin, Naraku's votes may not necessarily win.

"Naraku-sama is powerful and popular, so what else needs to be considered? We suggest that we just elect Naraku-sama as the Fourth Hokage!"

An Uchiha jounin stood up and directly waved the flag for Naraku.

"Yeah yeah!"

"I support!"

"Naraku-sama is powerful, gentle and reliable. He is a trustworthy ninja!"

"I think the important responsibility of Hokage can be entrusted to Naraku-sama!"

An Uchiha jounin stood up and spoke up. What was even more embarrassing for the Hokage clan was that the other Uchiha jounin had not spoken yet. Many civilian clan and small and medium ninja clan jonins also expressed their support.

The three senior executives looked at each other and frowned slightly. They didn't expect Uchiha Naraku to have so many supporters.

Naraku couldn't help but smile when he saw that he was supported by many ninjas on the field, indicating that his image in the minds of Konoha ninjas was very reliable.

Naraku understood that voting was a vote and there were other procedures, but now it was time for him to take a strong stand. He stood up and said loudly:

"Thank you very much for your support, jounin. If I serve as the fourth generation Hokage, I will definitely assume the responsibility of Hokage, benefit the villagers of Konoha, create income, and safeguard peace.

All the villagers who protect Konoha live and work in peace and contentment, maintain peace and order in the ninja world, and do their best to prevent war from happening in the ninja world, so that the seedlings of Konoha can thrive and become talents..."

Naraku stood up and talked non-stop, and at the end of the last part "Will of Fire", the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Namikaze Minato, who came in second place in the vote, heard Naraku's words and couldn't help but applaud in support.

The trio on the high platform looked at Uchiha Naraku, Mito Katoen and Koharu's brows furrowed even deeper, and Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked his pipe expressionlessly.

"Uchiha Naraku is so popular, how did he do it, and why is he different from other Uchiha."

Thoughts flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, and he had the impression that Uchiha was simple-minded. With a deeper mind, Sarutobi Hiruzen only remembered Uchiha Fugaku and Naraku, but Fugaku was kind-hearted, peace-loving, and did not fight for power.

This Uchiha Naraku is also peace-loving and kind-hearted, but he especially likes to fight for power and exploit every opportunity. At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he had underestimated Uchiha Naraku.

Within the Uchiha clan, those who are strong are often simple-minded and difficult to become a leader. Gentle people tend to have complicated minds and are better suited to overall planning.

This Uchiha Naraku is very kind-hearted, but he never hesitates when he is strong, which can be seen from his speech just now.

"cough cough"

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed slightly.

Namikaze Minato reacted, put down his clapping hands, and said in a deep voice:

"Please keep quiet, Jonin, and just discuss it privately. There are still opinions from the Third Hokage and the senior officials that have not yet been expressed!"

The Jonin in the field heard the words and looked towards the senior officials, waiting for instructions.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that the jounin in the field gradually became quiet and said:

"I already know everyone's opinions, and I will definitely let someone whom everyone approves of become Hokage, but the change of Hokage requires the consent of the daimyo.

Uchiha Naraku, Namikaze Minato, Tsunade, and Orochimaru are candidates for Hokage, waiting for the daimyo's opinion. Before this, before the Hokage was selected and appointed, I, as the previous Hokage, was temporarily in charge of Konoha's many affairs. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen planned to take a break and finalize Iwagakure's peace talks first, and then go to the Fire Country capital to ask for orders after Danzo Shimura came back from his work in the northwest.

As for the support of the daimyo, it was completely fooled by Sarutobi Hiruzen. Konoha never looked at the daimyo's face, but at this time, the third generation had to use the daimyo's name to calm down.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already made a calculation in his mind. If it didn't work out, it would be better to support the Sannin than to hand over the power to Uchiha Naraku.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but glance at Hinata Hinashi.
