"What!"
In the Shimura Clan's clan, Shimura Danzō suddenly raised his head and looked at the person in front of him with a look of astonishment on his face. "Is this true?"
"That's right."
The person in front of him looked solemn. "It has been confirmed that Uchiha has issued a statement and is preparing to participate in the Hokage campaign."
"Many people have already expressed their stance on this and are ready to support it."
"It's actually like this."
Hearing this news, Shimura Danzō couldn't help but feel a little headache.
When it comes to running for Hokage, it mainly depends on the opponent.
Originally, Shimura Danzō had some confidence in his candidacy for Hokage and felt that he could probably become Third Hokage of Konoha.
After all, his opponent is none other than Uchiha Clan Head.
It is not difficult for him to defeat this Uchiha Clan Head.
After all, before he could do anything, that Uchiha Clan Head had already made himself somewhat angry.
If this trend continues, Hokage Position must be his.
It happened that at this moment, Namikawa Yū stood up.
It's okay if he didn't come forward. Once he did, Shimura Danzō and others were immediately shocked.
Before this day, he was aware of Namikawa Yū's fame and appeal. He had some understanding of it, but he did not have a specific feeling about it.
But when Namikawa Yū came forward, he was still frightened.
Throughout Konoha, many originally silent ninjas immediately began to speak out.
They took to the streets and started supporting Namikawa Yū in front of everyone, hoping to make him Hokage.
The reason for this is the result of Namikawa Yū's hard work over the past many years.
Over the years, he seemed to have done nothing, but in fact he had been silently doing logistical work for Konoha.
Konoha Hospital was founded by him, and many Medical Ninja were his students and had been taught by him personally.
He once established the earliest medical training class and participated in the compilation of teaching materials. Today, most of Medical Ninja within Konoha are his students.
To put it bluntly, among the Medical Ninja group within Konoha today, Namikawa Yū has a greater reputation than the later Tsunade.
When they are not needed at ordinary times, these supporters may seem like they have nothing, but now that Namikawa Yū stepped forward, they immediately showed a terrifying influence.
A large number of Medical Ninja began to call on people around them, wanting to support Namikawa Yū in this way.
And based on these people, it can influence more people.
That kind of astonishing performance shocked many people just after it was revealed.
Shimura Danzō is also one of these secretly shocked people.
At this moment, he was looking at the surging flow of people in Konoha, listening to the whispers of the villagers everywhere, and he just felt jealous.
The support of ordinary villagers and ninjas may not seem to change anything, but it means that Namikawa Yū's reputation has now reached a level beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Based on these people, we can also influence more people.
After all, even for a force like Konoha, ordinary ninjas still account for the majority.
Namikawa Yū has an absolute reputation among these people and can naturally influence many people of higher classes.
Looking at such a grand occasion, many Jonin who originally wanted to support Shimura Danzō could not help but be shaken.
Originally, if Namikawa Yū did not participate in the election, then it would be okay if they chose to support Shimura Danzō without a better choice.
But now, since Namikawa Yū has stepped forward, they seem to have a better choice.
At least, compared to the Shimura Danzō in front of you, Namikawa Yū is much more popular.
Suddenly, the supporters around Shimura Danzō could not help but waver.
"Teacher, is this also your arrangement?"
Shimura Danzō Feeling the wavering of the people around him, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh at this moment.
When he wasn't running for Hokage, he didn't feel much.
But now after actually running for Hokage, he can feel how powerful Second Hokage has prepared for Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Including the Namikawa Yū in front of me.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi had not disappeared, as a student of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he would naturally be a loyal supporter of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Then this power should also belong to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
It is precisely because of this that Shimura Danzō is qualified to compete.
Otherwise, with his current strength, he would not even be qualified to participate, let alone stand up and compete.
"Can't give up yet."
Shimura Danzō thought, "It's not the last moment yet."
"Torifu, and Yan and the others...
He looked into the distance, thinking of his friends at this moment.
Those few friends are the backbone of Konoha, and each represents a force within Konoha.
As long as they are willing to support themselves, then Hokage Position still has room to compete.
He thought of this and walked towards where Mitokado Homura and others were.
But just a moment later, he came back with a livid face.
None of his old friends supported him.
Although he had expected this result before, he did not expect that these people would reject it so completely.
Among the few people, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu refused on the spot and said they would support Namikawa Yū.
Torifu Akimichi did not refuse directly, but he also did not agree. He just expressed tactfully that he did not want to participate in this matter.
As for Kagami Uchiha, Shimura Danzō had no hope at all.
After all, he is a sibling of Namikawa Yū, and was personally treated by Namikawa Yū before. He will definitely support Namikawa Yū, both emotionally and relationally.
After he finally walked around, he found that no one in his group of old friends supported him.
This made him feel a little chilly.
Only then did he realize that his base was weaker than he thought.
I thought that in this competition between me and Namikawa Yū, even if these old friends did not side with me, they would not side with each other for the sake of their past relationships.
But now it seems that he is overthinking.
Torifu Akimichi may take a neutral position due to past relationships, but Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu and others will undoubtedly support Namikawa Yū.
As for Kagami Uchiha, there is no need to say more.
His situation was far worse than he imagined.
"The only breaking point right now is...
Shimura Danzō looked in the direction of Uchiha Clan Compound: "Uchiha Clan...
Of course he doesn't expect Uchiha Clan to support him.
Putting aside his consistent attitude towards Uchiha, it is impossible for the Uchiha Clan himself to give up his support for Clan Head and instead come to support him, an outsider.
What he was thinking about were other plans.
Namikawa Yū was also born in the Uchiha Clan, but now he is on his own, competing with Uchiha Clan Head Hokage Position.
Shimura Danzō puts himself in Shimura Danzō's shoes, Uchiha Clan Head must be very annoyed at this moment.
As long as he can provoke a fight between these two parties, he might have a chance to succeed.
