Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to the Hokage Tower and planned to resolve the matter quickly, whether it was Jiraiya or Kakashi! It doesn't matter! Danzo must not be allowed to become the Hokage.
"Isn't there anyone who recommends Kakashi? Let me start by recommending my lifelong enemy Kakashi." Metkai said passionately that it would be good for his friend to become Hokage.
"I recommend Danzo Shimura."
"I also recommend Danzo-sama."
"Me too."
As Metkai started, many Jōnin who were waiting and watching began to vote. They were all families attracted by Danzo's assimilated body.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Inokacho. Inokacho's weight was not low. If Inokacho sided with Jiraiya, many people would definitely follow him.
"I also vote for Danzo Shimura."
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could wait for Ino Shikacho's vote, Hizu, the leader of Konoha's most powerful clan, voted.
Now that the Uchiha have been exterminated and the Senju have perished, Hinata is indeed the most powerful family in Konoha. Although this first wealthy family is a little aggrieved, the fact that the Rizu are now siding with Danzo makes many people feel bad. Hinata is famous for being a middle class.
Establish a faction.
"I also vote for Danzo."
At this time, Konoha's two major advisors both spoke up, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became even more ugly. He had not seen any ninjas from the dormitory clan before, so he thought Danzo was only wooing Mito Kadoen. Unexpectedly, Koharu was also attracted by
Winning over.
Why, when we were chatting the day before yesterday, we obviously said that we would vote for Jiraiya, why did we change our mind, or was it just to numb him at that time.
The two advisors spoke, and the jounin of their families all voted for Danzo.
Although Jiraiya has his own supporters and the support of the Sarutobi clan of ninjas, how can he compare with the painstaking layout of Danzo's assimilated body!
To be honest, Danzo's assimilated body didn't expect that Hizu would support him. For others, he was just another God who amplified his desires. For Hizu, he just used his emotions to move him and reason, and conveniently amplified his desire for Sarutobi Hiruzen.
dissatisfaction.
I originally thought that he would be neutral, such as voting for Kakashi, who had the lowest number of votes, so as not to offend Danzo or Jiraiya, or simply give up voting. It seems that the benefits are very impressive! The Hyuga clan leader is not immune to this.
Soon, except for the Jonin of Inokacho's lineage, everyone else had voted. Jiraiya and Kakashi's combined votes were not as many as Danzo's.
With Jiraiya in front, there were only five people who voted for Kakashi, excluding Metkai, there were only four people, and Kakashi didn't vote for him.
Unlike the villagers who are easily incited, Jiraiya's problem is just a minor flaw to these jounin. In addition to Kakashi, there are also some fans of Jiraiya.
Everyone is looking at Nara Shikaku. He has always played the role of a think tank in Ino Shikacho. Even among Konoha, his wisdom can be ranked among the top three. Everyone is curious about what Shikaku will choose.
Shikaku's decision will affect Yamanaka Haiichi and Akimichi Choza, and these two people will affect their families.
It can be said that Shikaku's decision will affect who will be the next Hokage.
He voted for Danzo, and Danzo would crush the other two with his full strength. He voted for Jiraiya, and Jiraiya won by a slight margin. If he voted for Kakashi, Danzo still won.
Although the attitude of the daimyo is also important, the most important proportion is the vote of the jounin.
"He voted for Danzo Shimura."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shikaku voted. If possible, Shikaku wanted to vote for Jiraiya, but he understood that Danzo's ruthlessness was not comparable to that of Jiraiya.
Even if he loses here, Danzo will use his daimyo to make himself Hokage, because they all vote for Jiraiya, and Jiraiya is only ahead by a few votes. The gap is not big, and Danzo still has room to maneuver.
Daimyo and common people are all available.
There is another reason, Danzo gave too many things, which he didn't want at first, but it was really too much, so I feel sorry for the Third Generation and Jiraiya-sama.
Inarakacho's positioning is very good. They have always helped whoever becomes Hokage, or in other words, they only help the winner and never do anything unnecessary.
Just like Minato had a higher winning rate back then, so they supported Minato.
No matter who becomes Hokage, he will need the support of the Inar, Deer, and Butterfly clans. The wisdom of the Nara clan is very important to Konoha. The secret skills of the Yamanaka clan are very useful in dealing with spies and are also a good auxiliary.
The attack power of the Akimichi clan's secret techniques is pretty good, and when combined with the Nara and Yamanaka clans, the weak can often defeat the strong.
The Akimichi clan seems irrelevant, and Aburame, Hinata and even other clans can replace them, but in fact it is not the case. They have an unspeakable tacit understanding with Nara and the mountains.
The voting was completed soon. Danzo's assimilated body had the support of Shimura, Mitomon, Tenden, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, Hinata, and the Aburame clan, and was far ahead in the number of votes.
In fact, if it weren't for Hinata and Nara knew that Danzo's power had surpassed Sarutobi Hiruzen, they would not necessarily support Danzo, even if the conditions offered by Danzo's assimilated body were very tempting. In the ninja world, after all, it is about strength.
Have the final say.
Sarutobi Hiruzen forced a smile and said: "Let us congratulate Danzo Shimura for being far ahead. It seems that he is the one expected by everyone. I will inform the daimyo. If nothing else happens, the fifth generation will be Danzo."
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt very unhappy. He had already thought about it. He would take the opportunity to have an attack after Danzo became the fifth generation, making Danzo unable to grasp the root and causing him to lose a lot of help.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't understand how Danzo managed to win over Hinata and how he managed to win over Inokacho.
Especially Hinata, who had something to do with Hizashi's death in the first place, but Danzo, Mito Kaden and Koharu were all accomplices.
"Then, the Hokage Rock can start carving. Also, leave those documents to me. If you want to retreat, then completely retreat and become an ordinary jounin. I don't want the events of the Yondaime period to happen.
During the Nine-Tails Rebellion, most ANBU actually went to you, the Third Hokage, first, instead of the Fourth Hokage."
Danzo's assimilated form made it clear directly, without giving any face to Sarutobi Hiruzen. He wanted to shrink Sarutobi Hiruzen's power so that he could not be the Hokage's assistant or elder.
Let him not be able to control the Anbu, nor interfere with the roots, let him be an ordinary jounin and an honorary third generation Hokage.
The expressions on other people's faces were even more exciting now, but considering that Danzo said this, it's not surprising.
Sarutobi Hiruzen almost laughed angrily. Could it be that Danzo thought that after becoming the Fifth Daime, he would be at his mercy. Sarutobi said gloomily: "Danzo, I am the Hokage now, please be careful with your words."
Danzo's assimilated body spread his hands and said: "You won't be the same in a few days. Moreover, look at how many people in the village recognize you, not even one tenth!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen is even more angry now. You threw all the blame on me. Now you are clean, but I am about to be crushed to death.
"Forget it, Hokage-sama, cherish your last few days as Hokage."
Danzo's assimilated body left after saying this. It was so cool, but this was not enough. Regardless of whether Sarutobi wanted to or not, the assimilated body would not let him become a high-level person again, and this was just a small revenge. Other split bodies were needed in the follow-up.
