After Namikawa Yū confirmed his abdication, the entire Ninja World fell into silence.
In this silence, new competition and fanaticism began to emerge.
For position of Leader, who is about to be vacant, all the ninja villages have started their own actions.
No way, position of Leader is too tempting.
In the past era of ninja villages, the shadows of major ninja villages could make countless people dream about them. People like Shimura Danzō even dreamed of becoming Hokage.
And what is before them now is not just the shadow of a village, but Federal Leader.
As Federal Leader, he can theoretically rule everything in Federation, and he has great power in military, economic and other aspects.
This status and power are much stronger than the so-called Hokage.
To put it bluntly, no matter who ascends to this position, it will be of great benefit to the forces and people behind him.
So now, around position of Leader, various forces have begun a new round of competition.
"Hiruzen, the next position of Leader, we Konoha must get it!"
Within Konoha, Shimura Danzō looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi in front of him and spoke in a deep voice.
By now, Hiruzen Sarutobi and others are already very old.
In fact, he has recently been preparing to step down, pass the position of Hokage to others, and retire from the position of Hokage himself.
But before he actually implemented it, the news that Namikawa Yū was about to abdicate had already come.
Suddenly, the whole Konoha changed, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's retirement plan was naturally temporarily cancelled.
"Everyone knows what position of Leader means to Konoha!"
Shimura Danzō spoke in a deep voice, with strong ambition in his eyes at this moment. "The reason why Federation was established was that we, Konoha, took the lead. To put it bluntly, without us, Konoha, there would be no Federation today."
"No matter from which aspect, this position of Leader should belong to our Konoha!"
Hearing this, other people present could not help but nod silently.
From a realistic perspective, in this world, the establishment of Federation is entirely due to the power of Konoha and the leadership of Namikawa Yū.
Without Namikawa Yū, Federation would be impossible to establish.
And Namikawa Yū is the person of Konoha. He was once the Hokage of Konoha, so naturally he also represents Konoha.
Among Ninja World today, Konoha is not only the strongest, but also occupies the most seats in the parliament.
As long as they can make up their mind to participate in the election, they have a high chance of success.
"The election is definitely necessary."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and nodded, agreeing with Danzo's idea.
For Konoha, he definitely has to join in the campaign for leadership.
Faced with this once-in-a-century opportunity, no one can miss it.
For Konoha, there is only one problem now.
"Who to send for election?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shimura Danzō and others in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "The candidate for the leadership is no better than the Hokage, you must have sufficient qualifications and strength."
"Among our Konoha, who are the suitable candidates now?"
Running for Hokage already requires a lot of strength.
If his strength is not above Elite Jonin, he will not be able to convince the public.
When running for Federal Leader, the requirements for strength are even higher.
After all, this is the leader of Federation, the theoretical ruler of all Federation.
If you want to hold such a position, even if you are not the strongest person in Ninja World, you must at least be among the strongest ones.
The previous Federal Leader was Namikawa Yū.
In addition to Uchiha Madara, Namikawa Yū was the strongest player of Ninja World at that time.
After the battle with Uchiha Madara, this concept became even more popular.
After all, the battle between Namikawa Yū and Uchiha Madara was recorded by everyone.
Even if you are a ninja who claims to be powerful, if you look at the records of that battle, you will immediately recognize yourself and be shocked into a cold sweat.
Under such circumstances, it is not easy for Konoha to recommend a suitable candidate.
"How about Minato?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said.
In this time and space, Namikaze Minato finally met Jiraiya and now became Jiraiya's student.
In previous battles, he also successfully stood out, and now he also has the name Yellow Flash.
"Minato is a suitable candidate."
Others present nodded secretly, but soon someone shook their head. "Although Minato's strength is good, he is too young."
In terms of strength, Yellow Flash needless to say, even among Kage Level, it is among the strongest.
But in terms of qualifications, Namikaze Minato is still far behind.
Federal Leader This position is too important after all, and someone with slightly lower qualifications will not be able to get too many votes.
After all, you are so young and you look unreliable.
In this regard, Namikaze Minato has huge flaws.
At this time, let alone running for commander, he even ran for Hokage. There are some problems.
But apart from Namikaze Minato, are there any suitable candidates among Konoha who can be recommended?
Hiruzen Sarutobi I can't help but have a headache when I think of this.
To be honest, with the continuous development of the times, the ninja training in Konoha has become very mature.
Many outstanding ninjas appear every year, including some outstanding geniuses.
But the problem is that these geniuses are too ordinary.
If it were just Elite Jonin, or even the shadows of each village, these geniuses might be able to serve.
But when it comes to Federal Leader, it seems a little less interesting.
"How about Jiraiya?"
Someone suggested. "He has practiced Senjutsu and has mastered the same power as Ji. Maybe he can take on the role."
"No."
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head. "His level is too low to bear such a heavy responsibility."
"Besides, his personality is not suitable."
The strength of Jiraiya, let alone Namikawa Yū, even Hiruzen Sarutobi may not be able to defeat it.
It is too forced to let him run for the same age as Federation.
And in terms of personality, Jiraiya is probably not willing to run for leadership.
"What about Orochimaru?"
Someone else made a suggestion.
Hearing the name Orochimaru, the eyes of many people present lit up.
This is a good choice.
As a disciple of Namikawa Yū, Orochimaru has a natural advantage in running for position of Leader.
In today's era, what everyone pays attention to is not to favor the virtuous but not to avoid relatives.
If there is a relationship, then that is the best.
Just like the Hokage of Konoha, he is often chosen from the Hokage's disciples and relatives.
The same goes for position of Leader.
This is not a bad habit, but a habit.
In addition to his identity, Orochimaru is also equally powerful.
Over the years, he followed Namikawa Yū in the laboratory to study many forbidden techniques, and made great progress in the development of Federation.
In terms of strength, not only is Taijutsu powerful, but he also masters Wood Release.
Of course, in fact, not only Wood Release, but Sharingan also mastered it.
A long time ago, with the permission of Namikawa Yū, he used Chimera Technique to devour a Uchiha Clan corpse possessing Sharingan, thus obtaining Sharingan.
Just to avoid other influences, this matter has not been exposed.
This is also something that can't be helped.
In this world, any Kekkei Genkai family values their own family's Kekkei Genkai very seriously and will not allow it to be leaked out easily.
In the original work, like Kakashi, just getting a Sharingan has caused an uproar, let alone like Orochimaru, who directly used Chimera Technique to plunder Kekkei Genkai.
If this matter spreads, it will definitely cause huge trouble, even if Namikawa Yū himself is Federal Leader, he cannot avoid it.
After all, even if he is Uchiha Clan's Clan Head, he still has to worry a little about the mood of his clan members.
It's good to do whatever you want, but it may also cause many hidden dangers.
For this reason, neither Orochimaru nor Hiruko has exposed their Sharingan.
But just on the surface, Orochimaru is already extremely good.
In terms of strength, Orochimaru, who has mastered many forbidden arts and Wood Release, is undoubtedly the top one.
In terms of identity, Orochimaru is the disciple of Namikawa Yū.
In terms of merit, he has created many forbidden arts and inventions, and has made great contributions to today's Federation.
Recommending him to run for Federal Leader is the most perfect thing.
Unfortunately, there is also a huge problem.
"Before coming here, I already asked Orochimaru for his opinion."
Facing the attention of everyone present, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, "He doesn't want to run for this position."
Not everyone covets the position of Federal Leader.
For Orochimaru, he has nothing missing now.
As a disciple of Namikawa Yū, even if he is not Federal Leader, he still enjoys a respected status. Not only does he have countless resources, but he can also conduct his own research as he wishes.
Running for position of Leader is even more troublesome for him, because he must devote a lot of time to developing Federation, which will delay his research to some extent.
He has no attachment to power, so naturally he doesn't want to.
Relatively speaking, Hiruko is willing to be in the limelight.
It's a pity that his strength and performance are far inferior to Orochimaru, and his personality is not calm enough, so even if he wanted to run for office, he couldn't do it.
Neither Namikaze Minato nor Orochimaru can do it, so who else can send Konoha?
Soon, they thought of a suitable candidate.
"How about the stepfamily member?"
Kagami Uchiha asked.
"You mean...
Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart moved. "Tsunade?"
"No, she won't agree to it."
The image of Tsunade flashed through his mind, and the next moment Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, rejecting this possibility.
In her opinion, Tsunade would not agree to run for the leadership.
The reason is similar to Orochimaru.
She lacks nothing now, and running for the leadership is just causing trouble for herself.
"Of course not Tsunade."
Kagami Uchiha smiled, "I'm talking about Ming."
"Ming?"
Hearing this name, the people present couldn't help but feel moved in their hearts.
Uchiha Akira, this is the child of Namikawa Yū and Tsunade.
Now, he has grown up and has grown into an outstanding ninja under the guidance of Tsunade and Namikawa Yū.
Although he has not awakened his own Sharingan, he has also activated Wood Release and Sage Body, and the practice of Senjutsu is also very smooth.
Although the overall strength cannot be considered top-notch, it is definitely not weak.
"Before departure, I had a chat with Ming."
Kagami Uchiha said, "He has the idea of running for commander."
Whether it is Orochimaru or Tsunade, they have now found their own pursuits and do not want to be disturbed by others.
But Uchiha Akira is different.
He has just grown up now, and it is the time when he is most looking forward to the future.
Campaigning for Federation is quite attractive to him.
"If it's possible, that's not bad."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. "Following Madara's Rinnegan, it seems that he intends to transplant the original pair of Mangekyo Sharingan to Ming."
"If this is the case, Ming's strength will also grow greatly."
With Wood Release and Mangekyō Sharingan in hand, plus Sage Body and Senjutsu, this is just a little Namikawa Yū.
Coupled with his identity as the son of Namikawa Yū, I believe that most people in Federation will be willing to buy it.
With this thought, they made a decision and prepared to force the son of Namikawa Yū to run for election.
At this moment, similar things are happening in other ninja villages.
Unfortunately, not everyone is like Konoha and can find the right candidate.
Therefore, most of the people they recommend for election are somewhat abstract.
Third Raikage After thinking for a long time, he decided to recommend his own child, the next generation of Ai.
According to the rules of Kumogakure, this child will be the next generation of Raikage.
It's a pity that there was no surprise in this selection, and he was directly eliminated as soon as he stood up.
After all, he is too young, and his strength is not even as good as Namikaze Minato.
Among Kumogakure, it may be the worthy successor of Raikage.
But put it on the entire Federation stage, it is nothing.
For the sake of fairness, in this election for Federal Leader, each ninja village can propose its own candidate.
For great Ninja Villages like Konoha and Kumogakure, two people can be nominated directly.
The most important requirement for leadership is strength.
So on that day, a competition between the candidates began first.
The opponent that young Ai faced was none other than another candidate sent by Konoha, Namikaze Minato.
Konoha recommends Namikaze Minato, of course, not because he really wants to run for the leadership, but because he wants to show his face in this kind of situation and let him accumulate a wave of qualifications.
This will also be very beneficial for him to take over as the next generation of Hokage.
Yes, just as Third Raikage's son is about to take over as Raikage, Namikaze Minato is already the default Hokage within the current Konoha.
Just waiting for Federal Leader's campaign to end, Hiruzen Sarutobi will abdicate and let Namikaze Minato come to power.
"What a lively occasion."
On the high platform, Namikawa Yū pulled Tsunade and quietly watched the battle.
At this moment, watching Namikaze Minato appear, he couldn't help but smile on his face.
Obviously, his attitude towards Namikaze Minato is different from others.
After all, this one is his true teacher and the one who truly taught him Flying Thunder God Technique.
"This student from Jiraiya is very powerful."
Tsunade on the side looked at it with great interest. "His nerve reaction speed is very fast, and his speed is not much slower than that of you."
"Yeah."
Namikawa Yū smiled and nodded, agreeing with this.
