With the blessing of chakra, Namikawa Yū's calm words spread throughout the world.

Listening to his words, the Uchiha people around them were silent for a moment.

Then terrifying shouts began to be heard.

"Continue! Continue!"

"Long live Clan Head!"

Waves of shouts kept coming.

The young Uchiha tribesman looked at the figure on the high platform, his face full of enthusiasm at this moment.

There was only that one person left in their eyes at this moment.

As for Uchiha Kawaaki? They have already forgotten about it.

Even the few tribesmen who originally supported Uchiha Kawaaki could only sigh when looking at this scene, and finally chose to support the new Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan.

No matter what happened in the past, now that the other party has become Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan, it represents the entire Uchiha Clan.

Whether it is public or private, they must support Namikawa Yū.

This is their only option.

On this day, surrounded by many clan members, Namikawa Yū officially became Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan.

The original Clan Head Uchiha Kawaaki was appointed as Clan Elder and was responsible for attaching him to handle daily affairs.

And this also means that a popular candidate who was originally running for Hokage has withdrawn directly.

Most people were happy about this news.

Compared with the previous performance of Uchiha Kawaaki, the performance of Namikawa Yū is much more trustworthy.

Most people are willing to believe that if Namikawa Yū takes over, Konoha should continue to maintain stability and there will be no turmoil.

However, naturally some people are also dissatisfied with this.

"It's actually like this...

In the ancestral land of the Shimura Clan, Shimura Danzō quickly received the news.

Until now, he still couldn't believe it.

"Following... he actually became Uchiha Clan's Clan Head so easily?"

Until this moment, he was still feeling a little confused.

Previously, he was still planning in his mind how to make Namikawa Yū and Uchiha Clan conflict, thereby consuming the power between them.

In the blink of an eye, Namikawa Yū defeated Uchiha Kawaaki and became Uchiha Clan's new Clan Head.

These two forces that he was originally afraid of actually merged directly at this moment!

How to fight this?

Shimura Danzō felt a little desperate.

His strength and popularity are not as good as Namikawa Yū.

Now Namikawa Yū has become Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan. After inheriting the power of the Uchiha Clan, his strength has undoubtedly taken a step further.

What is he going to compare with the other party?

After some time, more news came.

Each of these is undoubtedly bad news for Shimura Danzō.

News has spread from the Senju Clan that Namikawa Yū will accept First Hokage's grandson, that is, Younger Brother Senju Nawaki of Tsunade, as his disciple.

There is no doubt that this represents a closer connection between the Senju Clan and Namikawa Yū, and also means Senju Clan's personal platform.

After the news came out, Ino-Shika-Cho Clans, who was still hesitating at first, did not stop at all. He directly stated the news and declared that he would support Namikawa Yū's candidacy for Hokage.

Not to mention the ninja clan represented by people like Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, they stood up from the very beginning.

Even Sarutobi Clan, who has always had a good relationship with Shimura Danzō and was a friend of Hiruzen Sarutobi, has publicly declared his support for Namikawa Yū.

As for the reason, of course there is no need to say more.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is Shimura Danzō's friend, but he is also Namikawa Yū's teacher.

One is Clan Head's good friend, and the other is Clan Head's only disciple of the mantle. There is no need to say which one is closer.

Even before, Sarutobi Clan was more inclined to Namikawa Yū, not to mention that Namikawa Yū is more dominant now.

Calculated in this way, the strongest clans of Konoha are Senju and Uchiha, Hyūga and Sarutobi Clan. Now three clans have directly expressed their support for Namikawa Yū, and only one Hyūga has not made a clear stance.

Shimura Danzō looked around and found that except for the Shimura Clan who was willing to support him, there was no other supporter around him.

Even if we exclude the power of the ninja clan and only look at civilians and ninjas from small clans, Namikawa Yū still has the upper hand.

In comparison, he had no chance at all.

"Teacher...

Standing there, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Various thoughts flashed through his mind at this moment. "Is this what you expected a long time ago?"

"That's okay...

Now that things had developed to this moment, he felt relieved.

The difference in strength between the two sides was so huge that he no longer even had the intention to work hard.

He only has one idea now.

That's why I want to wait until the day when Hokage votes.

He wanted to see how many votes he would cast for Namikawa Yū in the end.

Time passed slowly.

Soon, the Jonin voting day officially arrived.

On this day, several veteran Jonin were responsible for acting as vote counters, while Uzumaki Mito came here personally.

"Let's get started."

She looked at the time and then announced the start of voting.

Then Jonin looked serious and stepped forward to cast his vote.

Registered votes began to be cast one by one.

In the blink of an eye, Namikawa Yū's votes began to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it exceeded hundreds of votes in a short period of time.

On the other hand, for Shimura Danzō, up to now, the number of votes is still in single digits, and it has not increased for a long time.

Soon, the final voting results were announced.

Namikawa Yū got more than two hundred votes.

But Shimura Danzō only got nine votes.

Seeing this result, Shimura Danzō's face turned pale.

Nine votes...

The Shimura Clan he came from is not considered a small clan, and there are some ninja clans who have long-term alliances with the Shimura Clan and are considered allies.

Among these people alone, there are more than nine Jonin.

Nine votes... In other words, even among his base, some people chose to vote for Namikawa Yū instead of him.

This result was simply more uncomfortable than watching Namikawa Yū win.

But now the result has appeared. No matter what, in front of so many people, he can only admit it.

"It seems the result has been announced."

Ahead, Uzumaki Mito looked at the ballot box in front of him and smiled.

The next moment, under the unexpected gaze of everyone around her, she slowly stood up and put her vote into the Namikawa Yū ballot box in front of everyone.

Along with a crisp sound, everyone's minds were in a trance.

At this moment, they already knew that Namikawa Yū's Hokage Position could no longer be shaken.

"Let's welcome our Third Hokage."

Uzumaki Mito personally stepped forward and put on Namikawa Yū the godly robe representing Hokage.

It is also from this moment that Konoha officially enters a new chapter.

Namikawa Yū officially became Third Hokage of Konoha.

"It's done, it's really done!"

Looking at this scene, the Uchiha Clan ninja couldn't help but feel excited.

Even Uchiha Setsuna, a representative of the radical faction, couldn't help but feel in a trance.

"This is...

... Our Uchiha Clan Hokage...

He looked at Namikawa Yū in front of him wearing the royal robe, and at this moment he couldn't help but feel a little palpitating in his heart.

Not far away, Kagami Uchiha, Mitokado Homura and others were smiling, happy to see this scene.

But for Namikawa Yū, becoming Hokage is just the beginning.

Today's Konoha is not very stable.

From the outside, after just experiencing a Shinobi World War, the current Ninja World is not very stable.

Although most of the wars between the countries have come to an end, some conflicts are still ongoing, and another war may break out at any time.

Internally, Konoha, who had just experienced the war, was already very exhausted. The major ninja clans had suffered heavy losses and were in urgent need of training.

Namikawa Yū takes over in this situation, and there are undoubtedly many things that need to be dealt with.

"Daimyo has written, congratulating you on becoming Hokage."

In the Hokage's office, Kagami Uchiha walked into it and said to Namikawa Yū, "In addition, the construction payment promised by Daimyo has now been received."

"Yeah."

Namikawa Yū nodded. "It's quite timely."

"Gather representatives from all major ninja clans for me."

He looked at the mirror in front of him and said this.

Kagami Uchiha in front of him nodded and quickly went down.

In just a moment, representatives from all major ninja clans gathered together.

"In this war, all ninja clans suffered heavy losses."

Namikawa Yū looked at the people around him, and then said, "I know how difficult it is for you, so I am going to divide part of the money distributed by Daimyo this time and give it to you Clan Head."

"You Clan Head can arrange this amount by yourself, and the village will not interfere."

Hearing this, everyone present showed joy on their faces.

This time Shinobi World War, all major ninja clans basically suffered heavy losses, and many clan members were killed in the war.

After all, this is not the future, Ninja Academy has just been founded not many years ago, and Commoner Ninja has not yet become the main force in the village.

Nowadays, the main force of ninjas in Konoha is composed of major ninja clans.

This also led to the fact that many ninjas suffered the most casualties in Shinobi World War this time.

Of course, there are pension arrangements for ninjas who died in the war.

But this does not mean that the major ninja clans have no losses.

Because many of those ninjas who died in battle were trained by consuming the resources of the entire ninja clan. After they died in battle, not only did all their previous investment go to waste, but the ninja clan also had to take care of their wives and children.

Only in this way can the cohesion of the entire family be ensured.

Regarding these invisible losses, all major ninja clans were originally prepared to admit their losses.

After all, in the ninja profession, you earn commissions from licking blood with your sword. Even if you die on the battlefield, you can only endure it.

Compared to the past ninja era, there is still some pension available.

I never thought that the newly appointed Third Hokage would be so considerate of public opinion and even compensate the Ninja clan. This is an unexpected surprise.

Of course, Namikawa Yū's grant of subsidies to them is not purely out of kindness, it is just to help them recover as soon as possible.

At this moment when Commoner Ninja has not yet fully risen to replace the ninja clan, it is still necessary to maintain the strength of the Genin clan in order to get things done.
