Novel-V Chapter 260 The Fourth Hokage Election
Chapter 260 The Fourth Hokage Election
Chapter 260 The Fifth Hokage Election
The next day, the funeral of the Three Hokages.
Because of the agreement with Uchiha Fugaku not to show up, Jiraiya also hid his identity and quietly participated in the funeral of the third Hokage.
Even though Sandai Hokage did many wrong things, he was still his teacher after all, and he chose to send Sandai Hokage for the last time.
On the day after the funeral, he left Konoha with Naruto Uzumaki, and not many people knew that he had returned to Konoha.
Four days later, the conference room of the Hokage Building.
Around a long conference table, apart from the imprisoned Sarutobi, Mito, Zhuanban, and Shimura patriarchs, the patriarchs of each family and the elite jonin among the civilian ninjas sat.
Uchiha Fugaku, who is the agent of Hokage, sat on the main seat, and he glanced at the people on the left and right sides and said.
"Start the election of the Fifth Hokage, implement an anonymous voting system, and the person who gets the most votes will be elected as the Fifth Hokage."
Have a pen and paper at everyone's desk so that everyone can write down who they want to vote for.
Without too much thinking, everyone started writing.
Since the death of the third Hokage, these people have thought about it, and naturally they have thought about it long ago.
Everyone wrote and folded the note, and put it into a sealed wooden box.
Shikahisa Nara and Nobuhiro Hatake stepped forward, took out the note from the wooden box, and counted the voters.
"A total of three people got votes, namely Jiraiya, Tsunade, and you, Fuyue patriarch."
After the statistics, Nara Shikahisa and Hatake Nobuhiro reported to Uchiha Fuyuehui.
Uchiha Fugaku was not surprised that Jiraiya and Tsunade could get votes.
Although the two have left the village for many years, they still have a very high reputation in the village.
The reason why he didn't want the two of them to return to Konoha was because he was worried that after they returned to the village to lobby, some family patriarchs who had been wooed by him would change their minds.
He nodded with a calm expression on his face.
"Just announce the ballots!"
It would be impossible to say that he was not nervous, but since he dared to hold an election, he was naturally prepared.
Before that, he had already wooed more than half of the family patriarchs.
Although there is no guarantee that all the people who have been recruited will match their words and deeds and vote for him, as long as most of them are consistent with their words and deeds, he will be successfully elected.
Of course, if he failed, he would have to resort to coercive means, but he didn't intend to do so unless it was a last resort.
After all, this method is not conducive to his future rule over Konoha.
Swah——
In the conference room, everyone's eyes were on Nara Shikahisa and Hatake Nobuhiro, waiting for the two to announce the voting results.
Shikahisa Nara and Nobuhiro Hatake swallowed, and spoke together.
"Ji Lai also has nine votes."
"Twelve votes from Tsunade."
"Fuyue patriarch eighteen votes."
"The leader of the Fuyue clan with the most votes, the elected leader of the Fuyue clan."
With the determination of the final winner, everyone's eyes turned away from Nara Shikahisa and Hatake Nobuhiro, and fell on Uchiha Fugaku, who was elected as the Fifth Hokage.
"Congratulations to Patriarch Fuyue."
"Congratulations to Patriarch Fuyue."
……
Whether it is a person who voted for Uchiha Fugaku or a person who did not vote for Uchiha Fugaku, they all congratulate Uchiha Fugaku uniformly at this time.
People who voted for Uchiha Fugaku are naturally happy, after all, they voted for this Hokage.
Those who did not vote for Uchiha Fugaku did not dare to let Uchiha Fugaku find out that he did not vote for him, so as to avoid being liquidated by Uchiha Fugaku later.
"Thank you for your trust."
Uchiha Fugaku smiled.
The Fifth Hokage position is something he must obtain, no matter what method he uses, he must obtain it.
It would be the best to be able to go through the normal process of elections instead of going to the Hokage position through coercive means.
He doesn't care about those who didn't vote for him.
It's just that personal choices are different, but it doesn't mean that these people are hostile to him, and there is no need to investigate further.
Of course, if there are really hostile people, then he will never let them go.
"Master Hokage, the villagers are still waiting outside. Please put on the Hokage robe and go to the open-air terrace of the Hokage Building to accept the congratulations from the villagers."
Nara Shikahisa said to Uchiha Fugaku.
No matter who he voted for before, since Uchiha Fugaku was elected as the result of the vote, he will admit the result and willingly assist Uchiha Fugaku.
"it is good."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded with a smile.
The Hokage robe of the Fifth Hokage was naturally prepared, and he asked Anbu Ninja to fetch it and put it on his body.
The whole is white, and the bottom is dyed with a large red, like a burning flame.
"Fifth Hokage" is written on the back, showing the identity of the Fifth Hokage.
He walked out of the meeting room and walked towards the open terrace on the top of the Hokage Building, followed by the patriarchs of various families and the elite Jōnin among the civilian ninjas.
When he came to the open-air terrace and looked at the densely packed villagers below the Huoying Building, he felt a surge of emotion.
After crossing over, he has always been on tenterhooks, worried about the threat from the third generation of Hokage.
Now that the first series of the third Hokage was finally brought down by him, and he was successfully elected as the fifth Hokage, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Villagers, after the election, the leader of the Fuyue clan won the largest number of votes, and the leader of the Fuyue clan will be the Fifth Hokage!"
Nara Shikahisa and Hatake Nobuhiro stood slightly behind Uchiha Fugaku, announcing the election results to the villagers below.
"Five Generations of Hokage—"
"Five Generations of Hokage—"
……
Uniform voices resounded among the villagers below.
If it was a year ago, if it was learned that Uchiha Fugaku was elected as Hokage, there might be booing among the villagers. After all, Uchiha Fugaku and the Uchiha family have a bad reputation.
But after more than a year of improvement, especially some time ago, Uchiha Fugaku defeated the Mudun ninja and captured Orochimaru, and his reputation reached an extremely high level.
Therefore, after learning that Uchiha Fugaku was elected as the Fifth Hokage, what he got was not boos, but warm cheers.
In the crowd below, the members of the Uchiha family were all excited.
"The long-cherished wish of the Uchiha family for many years has finally come true!"
The eyes of the First Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder were slightly moist because they were too happy.
The Uchiha clan and the Senju clan jointly created Konoha, but there has never been a Hokage. This is the biggest regret of the Uchiha family generations.
Now it's finally over, the Uchiha family finally has a Hokage.
"Father became Hokage?"
Uchiha Sasuke looked excitedly at Uchiha Fugaku wearing a Hokage robe on the top of the Hokage Tower, and asked Uchiha Mikoto.
"Yes, your father became the Fifth Hokage."
Uchiha Mikoto nodded excitedly, very proud in her heart.
The birth of a Hokage is the long-cherished wish of all generations of the Uchiha family, and this long-cherished wish is finally realized by her husband.
She is proud of it and happy with it.
