When such simple words were spoken, everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh secretly.

On the podium, Danzo Shimura looked at Might Guy in surprise, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

“So, now, there are two candidates.

"Danzo-sama, your abilities and strength are beyond doubt.

"As for this Uchiha Sasuke..."

On the rostrum, the envoy who had been listening to the entire process spoke again.

He looked towards Sasuke below the stage, not hiding his admiration, and said:

“Master Jiraiya has mentioned this person to us many times in his letters before.

“Everyone in the daimyo’s mansion now knows that in recent years, Konoha has produced another young genius who is as bright as a star.

"Just like Minato Namikaze before."

After a pause, Sakai Shuichi took a deep breath and exclaimed:

"The fate of the Uchiha clan actually has such a stunning ending, which makes people sigh.

“You’ve come a long way, young man.

“It’s really not easy.”

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little surprised by the envoy's praise and sincerity.

He immediately returned the greeting modestly and said cautiously:

"You flatter me."

("Humph, that's not enough praise.")

In his mind, Jiraiya spoke lazily.

("What the hell is going on here?")

Uchiha Sasuke was confused and couldn't help but ask.

("This kid took a full fifty million taels from me.")

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Jiraiya stretched out five fingers.

There was even a hint of boasting in his tone.

Even so, Uchiha Sasuke has seen money now.

But when I heard such an astronomical figure, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

(“Don’t worry about the money.”)

In his mind, Jiraiya said lazily:

("This person is the top figure in Daming Prefecture and will be of great help to your future work.

("Danzo wanted to give him money, but I'm afraid he wouldn't accept it.")

(“I’m afraid his problem is not whether to accept it or not?

("I think even if all the ninjas in the entire village were added together, they wouldn't be as rich as you alone.")

Uchiha Sasuke responded in his mind.

Before this, I had heard that Jiraiya made a fortune with "Intimate Paradise".

But being so arrogant was indeed far beyond Sasuke's expectations.

"Well, if there are no other candidates, then we might as well vote first."

Seeing Shimura Danzo's increasingly gloomy face, Sakai Shuichi, who felt under great pressure, did not dare to do anything too much.

He immediately stopped talking and signaled to move on to the next step.

"I am from the Nara clan."

On this side, Nara Shikamaru raised his hand first and took a step forward.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the young patriarch.

Among them, Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza were the most nervous.

Nara Shikamaru turned his head to look at Uchiha Sasuke and said slowly:

"Abstain."

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke looked back at Nara Shikamaru silently, without revealing any expression on his face.

The two of them understood each other's thoughts completely.

On the side, the other two clan leaders of "Pig, Deer and Butterfly" immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them also took a step forward, raised their hands one by one and said:

"The mountain clan abstains."

"The Akimichi clan abstains."

On the podium, Sakai Hideichi nodded expressionlessly.

At this time, a strong female voice sounded, saying loudly:

"I vote for Uchiha Sasuke!"

Everyone's heart trembled, and they looked in the direction of the voice, only to see the patriarch of the Inuzuka clan, Inuzuka Tsumugi.

At this moment, he put one hand on his waist, raised his right hand, and firmly shouted out his choice.

("sure.

"It seems that the Inuzuka clan intends to bet all its wealth on you this time.")

In his mind, Jiraiya sighed with relief.

At this point, the situation is still unclear.

He was the first one to come out and clearly support Uchiha Sasuke. The value of this action is naturally needless to say.

And no matter what the outcome, the future of the Inuzuka clan.

Because of this action by the patriarch, a radical change will inevitably take place.

On the other side, Uchiha Sasuke and Inuzuka Tsumugi's eyes met.

The latter looked at Sasuke encouragingly, then retreated again.

"very good.

"Now, one vote for Uchiha Sasuke."

On the podium, Shuichi Sakai said with a smile.

"I vote for Uchiha Sasuke too."

In the other row, Hatake Kakashi also raised his right hand.

He spoke out his choice in a calm tone and loudly.

"Then I'll vote for Sasuke too."

On the side, after seeing Kakashi's choice, Might Guy also raised his hand and spoke.

His ideas are simpler than anyone else's.

Since Sasuke said he has no problem, then there should be no problem.

In addition, of course, my own judgment may occasionally be wrong.

But fortunately, Kakashi is not a fool!

(“Hey? You’re pretty popular, kid!

(“Will he be elected directly?”)

In his mind, Jiraiya suppressed his inner nervousness and joked with a smile.

"Uchiha Sasuke, three votes.

"Shimura Danzo, zero votes."

On the podium, Shuichi Sakai continued to read out the voting process in real time.

"I want to vote for Danzo-sama."

In the audience, Hinata Hiashi, who had remained silent until then, finally stood up.

He just raised his right hand and spoke firmly in front of everyone.

Uchiha Sasuke slowly turned his head and looked coldly in the direction of Hinata Hiashi.

At this time, the latter's raised right hand was trembling slightly, but he never put it down.

"Are you sure?"

On the rostrum, Shuichi Sakai acted in a businesslike manner and confirmed it for the second time.

I saw a drop of sweat quietly sliding down Hinata Hiashi's forehead.

But he still did not put down his raised right hand.

Hinata Hiashi looked forward with a scorching gaze and responded in a deep voice:

"determine."

"very good."

Sakai Hide nodded and said:

“Then the vote is now three to one.

"Everyone, continue."

("The second one.")

Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head and counted silently in his mind again.

(“The traitor has already jumped out on his own!”)

In his mind, Jiraiya confirmed it all with his own eyes.

The excited voice trembled like a leaf in the wind.

Unstable, yet full of repressive power.

"Everyone, I think some things should be put on the table and discussed openly."

At this time, halfway through the voting, Sarutobi Asuma suddenly stood up and said loudly:

“The accusations regarding Uchiha Sasuke are indeed ridiculous at first glance.

“But the doubts raised by Danzo-sama are not completely unreasonable.

“The election of Hokage-sama is definitely not a trivial matter.

“Some things should be made clear before they are said.

“It’s really hard for me to cast my vote.”

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

On the podium, Mizuto Menyan coughed lightly and spoke slowly.

"Then I won't be polite."

On this side, Asuma Sarutobi simply saluted towards the podium.

Then, he turned to face Uchiha Sasuke and asked loudly:

"I won't talk about the rest. As for 'Fire Style: Flame Armor', why did you say you learned it from me?

"Moreover, you clearly misled the Anbu in charge of the interrogation, implying that you and I were colluding with Orochimaru who was preparing to attack Konoha?!"

For such a long time, Asuma Sarutobi was actually unaware of this detail.

But during this period, as the investigation into Uchiha Sasuke's true identity was carried out, the surrounding past events regarding the suspicious point of the "Flame Armor" were also dug out by Danzo.

As the secret letter was distributed everywhere, this detail became one of the evidences that Uchiha Sasuke was a "time traveler".

It spread on a small scale among Konoha's elite ruling circle.

"'Flame Armor' is the secret technique passed down by my Uchiha clan. I told them the truth, but the Anbu at the time didn't believe me. Instead, they insisted on accusing me of collusion with Orochimaru."

On this side, facing the sudden attack from Sarutobi Asuma, Uchiha Sasuke seemed calm.

He looked directly into the other person's eyes and asked calmly:

"At that time, I was just an ordinary Genin. I didn't have a father who was the Hokage. If you were me, what would you do?"

Faced with this rhetorical question, Sarutobi Asuma was stunned and suddenly didn't know how to answer.

On the other side, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly raised his voice, took another step towards the other party, and asked loudly:

"Or is it that, as the son of the Hokage, you simply cannot understand the real plight of a helpless low-level ninja?!"

Faced with Uchiha Sasuke's sudden burst of momentum, the elite jonin Sarutobi Asuma was shocked and couldn't help but take half a step back.

Soon, realizing that he had lost his composure, he stopped and calmed down.

He just nodded slowly at Uchiha Sasuke.

Then, he turned to face the podium, raised his right hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Then here's my vote.

"Vote for Shimura Danzo."

"!"

As soon as these words were spoken, ripples appeared in everyone's hearts.

Kurenai Yuhi, who had been standing next to Asuma, couldn't help but look sideways.

An uneasy look suddenly appeared on that delicate face which had originally seemed calm.

Then, Asuma turned to Uchiha Sasuke and explained:

“Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing personal here.

"But your answer still can't convince me for the time being."

This defense was not only addressed to Sasuke, but also an explanation to his comrades present.

Here, Sarutobi Asuma said this while turning to face the ninjas and speaking loudly:

"If the 'Flame Armor' is really the secret technique of the Uchiha clan, why has it never been used by an Uchiha before?

"Although my father is not the strongest Hokage in history, in terms of experience, he is definitely the best in the ninja world.

"If this ninjutsu is something he has never seen before, then what else could it be except a brand new ninjutsu that has just been developed?"

"Are you sure you want to keep going here, Asuma?"

On the side, Uchiha Sasuke said coldly:

"The only thing I want to say is that you worship your father too much.

"In this matter, your arrogance is exactly the same as that of the Third Hokage."

"you"

On this side, Asuma Sarutobi, whose father was "humiliated" in front of others for the first time, suddenly changed his expression.

His face turned red, his eyes were glaring, and he was about to say something.

At the side, Nara Shikamaru, who had quietly come to Asuma's side, grabbed the man's sleeve in time and whispered:

"Asuma-sensei, forget it."

Everyone actually knows it.

Regarding this matter, under the current situation, there is no point in openly arguing about it.

Just as Uchiha Sasuke said to Might Guy before.

No one in this room is a fool (except, of course, maybe Mr. Might Guy).

Everyone can see the controversy over Uchiha Sasuke's identity very clearly.

There are definitely doubts.

But there is absolutely no evidence.

If you say that there is no problem at all with Uchiha Sasuke, then there are indeed some doubts that are difficult to explain.

But if you want to kill the other party just by relying on the accumulation of these doubts, it may be a bit difficult.

Come to think of it, as a ninja, who wouldn't keep a few cards up his sleeve?

Taking Uchiha Sasuke's family background and life experience as an example, we can start from the perspectives of his qualifications, family background, and the mentality of the person involved.

The emergence of those doubts is actually a perfectly normal thing.

What's more, now Inuzuka Tsumugi, Hatake Kakashi and others have already openly expressed their attitudes.

Well, at this point, it seems unnecessary to argue about these things anymore.

On this side, Asuma Sarutobi understood the logic behind this.

He just pulled open his sleeves and stopped arguing.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of Xihi Kurenai without saying a word.

"I, Yuhi Kurenai"

On this side, Xihi Kurenai raised her right hand.

I only heard her gentle voice, and she said:

"Abstain."

"!"

On the side, Asuma Sarutobi looked at his lover with some surprise.

The latter, after finishing his words, quietly returned to his original position without saying another word.

"very good."

On the rostrum, Shuichi Sakai continued to read out the voting process in real time:

"The current vote count is three to two, and Uchiha Sasuke is currently in the lead.

"Everyone, continue."

(“Now, only the Aburame clan has not voted.”)

In his mind, Jiraiya couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and said silently:

(“You never know until then what these people are going to choose.

("Just for this sight, this fake death is worth it.")

The current voting pattern is indeed much better than what Uchiha Sasuke and others had previously expected.

After all, Sasuke’s biggest political resource in Konoha, Jiraiya, was already completely “dead” in everyone’s mind.

In addition to the dirty water that Danzo Shimura deliberately threw at him, in fact, Asuma's behavior just now was a relatively normal reaction.

However, Uchiha Sasuke's own prestige, or the degree of dislike for Shimura Danzo, had already exceeded the previous expectations of Jiraiya and others.
