As soon as the voting started, Uchiha Clan and Forest Street directly sent representatives to "vote"...
Uchiha Clan is quite expected - unless they are going to perform a "hand-tearing-in-law" show today, everyone knows that they will definitely vote for "Uchiha Orochimaru".
However, the performance of Forest Street is very meaningful...
No matter how you look at it, they are deliberately trying to cheat on the votes, and they are cheating together with the Uchiha Clan!
Seeing this scene, some Jonin secretly changed their minds.
Although no one took out the ballot to modify it on the spot, but...
Some Jonin who were clearly here chose to suppress their votes and not vote at this time - generally speaking, if Jonin who are not in the village want to abstain from voting, they can just come back without sending a ballot. If they are in the village and want to abstain from voting, then they can just vote for someone else.
Now there are so many people who come but don't vote, obviously they have changed their minds temporarily.
Akaseki estimates that most of these people are the votes of Torifu Akimichi...
After all, the scene where Forest Street and Uchiha Clan stand side by side again after decades is really shocking.
The two major village-building families somehow reached an agreement, which made everyone think a lot.
Many people who originally wanted to invest in Torifu Akimichi and Jonin decided not to invest after thinking about it.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who hold hands, which should be the votes of Orochimaru...
There are quite a few rebellious Jonins, especially...Akaseki voted. When he turned around, he saw the smart people of the Uchiha Clan grinning at other Jonins, as if they wanted to increase their intimidation.
Akaseki:...
But no matter what, this scene will definitely make Torifu Akimichi lose more votes!
In addition, Akaseki noticed that Jonin from the three Ino-Shika-Cho companies voted separately at this time - although the vote should be for Torifu Akimichi, it was very low-key, exactly the opposite of the Uchiha Clan.
"Have you all voted?" Sarutobi saw that no one came forward, so he asked.
While talking, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked specifically at those "people who arrived but did not vote".
Seeing that no one answered, Sarutobi nodded and said, "Minato, please vote in all the votes you received."
"Yes." Minato stepped forward and said, "These fifteen votes were voted by Jonin who are not in the village. This is my vote."
After Sarutobi looked at it briefly, he asked Minato to put the ticket into the ballot box.
Sarutobi was still a little distracted because of Lanjun's performance. It took a moment to react and said, "Minato has become the teacher's Flying Thunder God Technique. In the future, we Konoha will have more advantages in terms of battlefield movement and support!"
Hearing this, some Jonin who had just learned about it said "congratulations" to Minato...
At the same time, there is no need to count the votes at the ballot box. The "Sealing Technique" on it will automatically recognize the votes.
After Sarutobi Hand Seals, on the Sealing Technique of the ballot box, the proportion of votes naturally appeared...
Except for a few abstentions from others, a total of one hundred and forty votes were in the names of Torifu Akimichi and Uchiha Orochimaru...
69:71--Orochimaru small victory.
This result made the venue quiet again.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was silent for a while and then said, "It seems that everyone's opinions are not unanimous. No one's support rate reaches 70%, so..."
Normally, Jonin Commander must have a support rate of more than 70% in order to be elected. Otherwise, we can only give everyone time to "continue to consider" and choose a date before voting. This is a sign of respect for every Jonin.
Sakumo Hatake also received more than 70 votes before, but the more than 70 votes at that time was enough for 70%!
Now... half of it is not enough.
"Ahem..." Danzo suddenly coughed twice and then said, "Lord Hokage, now that the war is not going on, Jonin Commander's position is very important. I think it is better to appoint an agent first... It can also give Jonin, who has no idea, a more direct observation opportunity."
Danzo The resentment will overflow from these words.
Looking at "Uchiha Clan", the number of votes was almost over half, the highest in the audience, and even...Forest Street's high-profile platform, which made Danzo unable to calm down, and began to get angry with other Jonin.
"Assistant Shimura means..." Sarutobi hesitated at this time.
"Assistant Shimura is right, why not let Uchiha Orochimaru, the one with the highest votes, represent Jonin Commander first!" Yangyong directly interrupted at this time.
Shimura Danzō was about to refute when he heard this, but Lanjun on the side also said, "Yes, Orochimaru not only has the highest votes, but also Commander-in-Chief who was Land of Wind Battlefield before, so he has rich experience."
This scene caught Danzo off guard - Danzo never thought that Forest Street would come out to support Orochimaru and showed resistance to his own suggestions. He didn't know how to react for a moment.
Before Danzo could think clearly, Torifu Akimichi stood up on his own initiative.
"Everyone, thank you for your love for me. However, for the position of squad leader Jonin Commander, I have thought about it and decided that Orochimaru, who is more alert and cautious, is more suitable... Therefore, I have decided to withdraw my candidacy." Torifu Akimichi said proactively.
On the one hand, it is because Torifu Akimichi no longer wants to waste time on this kind of thing. As Danzo said, the battle is not over yet, and it is natural for Orochimaru, the biggest contributor to Land of Wind Battlefield, to become the squad leader of Jonin Commander; on the other hand, Torifu Akimichi is also a little frustrated...
The last time I ran for election under the recommendation of Hokage Building, I still lost to Sakumo Hatake, and it was a "big defeat" - at that time, it could be said that Torifu Akimichi was too young, and at that time, everyone did not have enough trust in Hokage Building.
However, this time, facing Orochimaru, who was younger than himself, Torifu Akimichi still lost - although there were many more votes than last time, it was not glorious...
In addition, Forest Street's actions made Torifu Akimichi see the division in the village... or at least the signs of doubting Hokage Building, so he immediately withdrew to avoid further escalating the situation.
Furthermore, recently Ino-Shika-Cho has a good relationship with the Uchiha Clan. Orochimaru is also a student of Third. Torifu Akimichi feels that there is nothing wrong with him being the class monitor of Jonin Commander.
Even when he came forward to express his position, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Utatane Koharu breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Shimura Danzō stared at this little brother with hatred.
"Okay! Akimichi Clan Jonin is indeed elegant and upright!"
"Then these 69 votes should also be counted as Orochimaru."
"It would be great if we could directly appoint and remove them today!"
Akaseki:...
Torifu Akimichi quit, Jonin of the Uchiha Clan couldn't help but come out immediately, which made Akaseki feel uncomfortable for a while.
Fortunately...
"Ahem, okay, since Akimichi Clan Jonin quits... let's do this, Orochimaru will do Acting Jonin Commander first." Hiruzen Sarutobi decided.
"Agent? There must be a deadline, right?" Yangyong asked directly.
It is difficult for other people to say this, but when Uchiha Clan people say it, no one seems surprised.
After being "checked", Sarutobi felt that Uchiha Clan was a bit annoying, but he did not hesitate and said directly, "A vote of confidence will be held in three months. If there are less than three negative votes, the appointment will be official."
Without this sentence, "agent" could always be "agent".
""""""""""hand-type""update"
However, with the addition of a vote of confidence process, there is a high probability that it will become a regular job in three months...
Danzo had the intention to raise objections, but now that Torifu Akimichi has withdrawn himself, he has nothing to do.
Then the election of Jonin Commander came to an end.
But Jonin Meeting is not over yet, and we will talk about Iwagakure later...
"Northwest The battlefield situation is tense. Let's discuss it." When Hiruzen Sarutobi said this, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Uchiha Clan and Forest Street Jonin.
If we want to have a truce with Iwagakure, there are two biggest obstacles, one internal and one external.
The internal reason is that it is difficult to explain because there is no result in the battle - ordinary ninjas are already tired from the war with Sunagakure, so they do not have to give this explanation, but... Nawaki's death makes Forest Street very upset.
Originally Hiruzen Sarutobi was still sure to convince Canglan and them...
After all, Forest Street and Jonin have not shown a hawkish side for a long time. Although Nawaki was very sad and angry when he died, but... they are not unreasonable people. Hiruzen Sarutobi feels that they can be persuaded. At most, they are not happy.
But now...
Hiruzen Sarutobi dare not take it for granted.
As for external factors, that Two Scales has noticed that Konoha Ninja is generally war-weary, and wants the lion to open his mouth and take back Kannabi Bridge's victory!
Not only can Hiruzen Sarutobi himself not accept this, but he also knows that Uchiha Clan will definitely oppose it vigorously.
At this time Orochimaru stood up directly.
"It seems that our new monitor has something to say." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere during the vote.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi's dissatisfaction with Orochimaru has reached its peak because of "Uchiha Clan", but...
After all, Orochimaru is still a student of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Sarutobi's dissatisfaction is also dissatisfaction with "his own students". Therefore, Sarutobi is not dissatisfied with the results this time, but is a little uneasy because of the "interlude" during the voting.
"I have carefully studied the battlefield situation between Lord Hokage and Iwagakure. I suspect that Iwagakure has no sincerity in the truce at all. The reason why it is repeated is to continuously weaken our Konoha and prevent us from recovering from the previous fierce battle with Sunagakure." Orochimaru directly talked about business.
Sarutobi groaned after hearing this, but Danzo sneered and said, "Uchiha Clan, squad leader, are you being alarmist?"
Danzo specially called "Uchiha Clan monitor" to remind Sarutobi, but Sarutobi was just a little worried, but... Uchiha Clan was called beautiful by him!
Danzo:...
"Although Iwagakure has increased the pressure from time to time, even if we were caught off guard in Kannabi Bridge, Iwagakure has never taken the opportunity to expand the results. Isn't this a sign of not wanting to fight with us?" Danzo said matter-of-factly.
Orochimaru sighed after hearing this, as if lamenting Danzo's IQ, and then asked naturally, "Assistant Shimura, why don't you think about it the other way around?"
Danzo:!!!
