Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

In addition to his prestige on the battlefield, Shadow Moon also won the hearts of the new generation of ninjas through his support for the Konoha Orphanage over the years.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha's promotion policy for jonin became relaxed, and many young ninjas who had made merit on the battlefield were quickly promoted to jonin, such as Kakashi Hatake who was promoted to jonin at the age of twelve. Many of these ninjas were orphans who came out of Konoha's orphanage.

These orphans grew up under Shadow Moon's support and care, and have deep gratitude towards Uchiha Shadow Moon.

In the eyes of these young jonin, Uchiha Kagezuki is not only their benefactor, but also their spiritual pillar.

They had witnessed Shadow Moon's bravery and wisdom on the battlefield, and their admiration for him even surpassed that of the current Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Lord Shadow Moon not only saved us, but also gave us a future. He is our role model." said a young ninja who had just been promoted to Jonin.

For these young ninjas who have been promoted exceptionally on the battlefield, Yingyue's leadership and personal charm are irreplaceable.

These new generation of jonin will undoubtedly vote for Uchiha Kagezuki in the upcoming vote of confidence.

In addition to the loyal members of the Police Department and the young ninja from the Konoha Orphanage, Shadow Moon's influence is spread across all levels of Konoha.

As Konoha's frontline commander, his performance in the war earned him respect from many senior ninjas.

Yingyue's decision-making is decisive and efficient. His performance in escaping danger several times in the war has made Konoha's veteran jonin full of trust in him.

In contrast, although Orochimaru is also a strong candidate for Hokage, his support is mainly concentrated on the experimental department and the ninjas on the front line of the Land of Grass that he leads.

Orochimaru was known for his coldness and rationality, and although his ninjutsu abilities were extremely outstanding, his aloof personality made many ninjas feel in awe of him, but it was difficult for them to feel a sense of belonging.

In the upcoming Konoha Jonin confidence vote, the vast majority of ninjas believe that Kagezuki is the best candidate for the Fourth Hokage.

Not only because of his reputation on the battlefield, but also because of his long-accumulated reputation within Konoha and his influence on all classes in the village.

At the same time, Danzo Shimura was filled with anxiety and anger.

He has always been the representative of Konoha's hawkish faction, advocating a tough policy, and has been secretly pursuing the position of Hokage.

However, Danzo was deeply disturbed by the rise of Shadow Moon, who not only did not get along with him, but even took the opposite position from him on many decisions.

"If Kagezuki becomes the Hokage, my influence in Konoha will be gone..." Danzo thought to himself.

He had originally placed his hopes on Orochimaru, who had a deep cooperative relationship with Danzo. Danzo believed that if Orochimaru was elected Hokage, he would be able to continue to control some of the power of Konoha.

However, now, Uchiha Kagezuki's support rate far exceeds that of Orochimaru, which makes Danzo realize that he may be losing his last chance.

"I can't let Kagezuki become Hokage." Danzo vowed to himself. He knew that the hawkish forces in Konoha were not enough to reverse the voting results, but he was still looking for opportunities to try to stop Kagezuki's rise.

As the Jonin confidence vote approaches, the future of Konoha Village becomes clearer.

With overwhelming support, Yingyue became the best candidate for the Fourth Hokage in the hearts of the jonin of Konoha Village.

Whether it is senior ninjas or new generation of jonins, almost all of them tend to support Yingyue.

At the same time, Yingyue has the strong support of the Uchiha clan.

As the head of the Uchiha clan, he possesses powerful clan resources and influence.

Under Shadow Moon's leadership, the Police Department became one of the most disciplined and combat-capable departments in Konoha, which undoubtedly boosted the confidence of Shadow Moon's supporters.

However, the power transfer in Konoha Village is far from over. Although Yingyue has the upper hand in the vote of confidence, Danzo will not give up easily.

At this critical moment, the power struggle in Konoha Village entered a more intense stage.

"No matter what the outcome, I will not let the future of Konoha fall into the wrong hands." Yingyue stood on the high tower of Konoha Village with a firm look in his eyes.

Peace in the ninja world seemed to have arrived, but he knew that the real challenge had just begun.

As the voting day approaches, the atmosphere in Konoha Village becomes increasingly tense.

Everyone is waiting for the revelation of the Fourth Hokage, and the competition between Shadow Moon and Orochimaru is like a silent storm, quietly spreading in every corner of Konoha Village.

The peace in the ninja world is not yet stable, and the future of Konoha Village is still hanging in the balance.

On the eve of the upcoming Jonin confidence vote in Konoha Village, the election for the Fourth Hokage has entered a white-hot stage.

Although Uchiha Kagezuki's reputation has already dominated in Konoha Village, at this critical moment, Kagezuki's supporters did not dare to take it lightly. They took action one after another to gain more support for Kagezuki and ensure that he could successfully ascend to the position of Hokage.

Yingyue once served as a guiding jonin, and he trained three outstanding students: Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi, and Shizune.

These three students performed outstandingly during the war, made great achievements on the battlefield, and have now been promoted to the younger generation of Jonin.

Asuma Sarutobi, the son of Sarutobi Hiruzen, is a student of Shadow Moon. He not only inherited the will of fire, but also learned the calm and decisive fighting style from Shadow Moon.

Although Asuma was born into the Sarutobi clan, he has great respect for Kagetsuki and believes that Kagetsuki is the only candidate for the next Hokage.

He actively canvassed votes for Kagezuki among the younger generation of jonin, using his own reputation and family background to gain the support of many jonin.

As a genius of illusion, Yuhi Kurenai became an independent jonin under the guidance of Yingyue.

Kurenai's father, Yuhi Shinku, is an important figure in the Konoha Police Department and a loyal supporter of Kagezuki.

The father and daughter teamed up and mobilized many of the Police Department's jonin to ensure that Kagezuki received solid support in the vote.

Shizune, one of Shadow Moon's favorite disciples, is not only a leader among medical ninjas, but also a rescue hero in war.

Her uncle, Kato Dan, is a famous elite ninja in Konoha and has great respect for Kagezuki.

Dan was also very influential among the jonin of Konoha. He helped Shizune to actively canvass for votes, which made the camp of Yingyue's supporters continue to grow.

The Konoha Police Department is almost a die-hard supporter of Shadow Moon.

As Minister, Shadow Moon not only increased the pay packages of the police department, but also enhanced their status and influence.

Therefore, the loyalty of the police department's jonin to Kagezuki is unquestionable, and they actively canvass votes among ninjas from other departments to ensure that Kagezuki gains more support.

Kagezuki's supporters include many of the jonin he rescued during the war.

These ninjas were grateful to Shadow Moon for coming to their rescue when they were in trouble, so they spontaneously campaigned for Shadow Moon after the war.

The kindness shown during the war and Shadow Moon's prestige on the battlefield made many jonin undoubtedly stand on his side before the vote.
