"The voting results are now announced..."
At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi personally opened the ballot box for Sealing, and at the same time, under the witness of the four identified Elder, the vote count was completed.
"First of all, the Jonin who received the most votes of confidence is...Canglan Jonin." Sarutobi announced the undisputed number one.
The launch of "Elders' Council" was directly triggered by the exposure of Root's secret research on Hashirama Cells.
Whether he is from the Shinobi Clan or a commoner...
At this time, no one would have any objections to Forest Street's superiority to Canglan.
Especially this time, Uchiha Clan, who usually competes with Forest Street, also voted for Canglan, making the votes more unified.
And this time Canglan is still a "civilian" in theory...
"After that, it's Nara Luzang Jonin." Sarutobi continued to announce.
Nara Luzang, which is Clan Leader of the Nara Clan, the father of Shikaku, is now Sunagakure, which can be said to be the brain of Ino-Shika-Cho Clans!
It was expected that Lu Zang would be elected, but...
The second highest number of votes caused the Uchiha Clans at the scene to burst into loud applause, and some even looked at the Hyuga Clan deliberately provocatively.
Not to mention Hyuga Clan, even Ino-Shika-Cho Clans seemed a little embarrassed at this time, fidgeting and smiling and nodding to the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga.
Yes, Nara Luzang and Hyuga Jisuke are already "big hits".
But no one can say for sure who will be taller.
From the Uchiha Clan's point of view, we certainly hope that Nara Luzang will be higher - because Uchiha Clan's collective vote has Nara Luzang's vote.
Now that Nara Luzang is higher, it immediately satisfies Uchiha Clan's sense of control, and there is a feeling of "we, Uchiha Clan, should nod".
Of course, Akaseki feels that it may not be the cause of the Uchiha Clan...
Although Hyuga Jisuke got many votes among the Shinobi Clan Jonin, its popularity among civilians Jonin is low.
On the contrary, Nara Luzang often appeared in frontline headquarters as a think tank in previous wars. Commoner Ninja is quite popular. If we judge it "fairly", Nara Luzang is more reliable.
However, Akaseki did not stop everyone from applauding and provoking...
On the one hand, this is the nature of the Uchiha Clan. If you have to suppress even such a small thing, it may not be a big deal later. Don't look at the Uchiha Clan clansmen, especially the young clansmen, who all admire Akaseki, but the brains that have been modified by Sharingan Dojutsu Power may give Akaseki a big blow at any time;
On the other hand, Akaseki feels there is no need to stop him. Even if he doesn't make noise now, Hyuga Clan or Other Ninja Clans will not think Uchiha Clan is very polite...
On the contrary, now after the Uchiha Clan sticks to his face, even if Hyuga Clan has "hate +10", it is in vain because the quota is already full. At the same time... Hyuga Clan wants to express his anger at the Nara Clan, or Ino-Shika-Cho, which is equivalent to gaining allies for the Uchiha Clan.
Indeed, Hyuga Jisuke has a dark face now. Although he ignores Uchiha Clans, there are quite a few Clan Elders of the Hyuga Clans, glaring in the direction of Ino-Shika-Chos...
"Then Hyuga Jisuke Jonin." Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to announce.
This is not unexpected. Although Uchiha Clan did not vote, and Hyuga Jisuke himself made almost no contribution in the war, and Main Family did not go to the front line at all, but after "weighing the pros and cons", Hyuga Jisuke must have received most of the Shinobi Clan Jonin's votes.
"Huh..."
"Those who haven't even gone to the front lines..."
"Oh, that's sad."
"There are too few people who are as fair as us!"
Uchiha Clan started muttering even more nonchalantly - but who here is not a person with sharp ears and eyes? Who wouldn't be able to hear it?
"You..." Hyuga Clan and Clan Elder couldn't help but want to spray back.
"Silence! That's outrageous!" Jiancheng shouted directly at everyone.
When Uchiha Clan saw Clan Leader speaking, they all calmed down. Hyuga Clan, who had just wanted to fight back, was choked up. However, under the long gazes of Lord Hokage and Konoha Military Police Force, they all kept their mouths shut.
Akaseki curled his lips...
Yes, although this was not instigated by Akaseki, it does have something to do with Akaseki - when unifying everyone's vote, Akaseki specifically emphasized that we will not vote for Hyuga Jisuke, not because we have a bad relationship with the Hyuga Clan, but because...
We are fair!
Only those mediocre Shinobi Clans would invest in someone who has no contribution for the sake of profit. We Uchiha Clans are so glorious that we would never do such a thing!
No matter whether you thought so before, but under Akaseki's "pace", everyone really feels that not voting for the Hyuga Clan is a sign of the Uchiha Clan's righteousness...
Great benevolence and righteousness...
Ren won't say anything yet.
It's time for this "righteousness"!
After all, the emotional core of "righteousness" is "sacrifice the small self for the greater self."
It can be regarded as a small improvement to everyone's "Yin Style"...
The amplitude is not that big, but it is better than nothing. After all, Uchiha Clan people usually have very few opportunities to "stimulate" Yin Style to change.
As for whether the starting point is "righteousness"?
It doesn't matter...
What originally stimulated the changes in the Uchiha Clan's chakra was "emotion". I felt that I was too righteous, which was also a kind of "righteousness" that Sharingan recognized.
Therefore, Akaseki brought the rhythm in advance.
When they saw Other Ninja Clans, they all voted for Hyuga Jisuke. Uchiha Clan's moral pride suddenly exploded. They all felt that they were the most loyal people in the village!
Meanwhile...
Indeed, objectively, it also made some civilians Jonin and Uchiha Clan greatly change their views.
The election of Hyuga Jisuke at this time does not make sense in terms of "reason", not to mention that Hyuga Clan's influence is inherently restrained and isolated from the village, and more importantly, Hyuga Jisuke himself has never been to the battlefield before!
It wouldn't have mattered six years ago, but what time is it now?
Konoha has just experienced six years of war, with countless casualties, Forest Street's twelve-year-old children were all killed in the battle, but at this time, a Elder who has never been to the battlefield was actually selected...
The only "reason" that can be said is that Hyuga Clan itself did play an important role on the battlefield.
Konoha's advantage over Sensory Ninja is largely supported by the Hyuga Clan - all Hyuga Clan that can open eyes can be regarded as Sensory Ninja, which gives Konoha a huge advantage in terms of Sensory Ninja's equipment.
If all the credit for these Hyuga Branch Family ninjas on the battlefield is attributed to Hyuga Jisuke, it would indeed be big enough...
Hyuga Jisuke himself thinks it should be calculated this way!
After all, what credit does "tool" have? Of course, the person holding the tool can be regarded as the subject of credit.
However, many people obviously do not think so. When they heard that Hyuga Jisuke was elected, many Commoner Ninja felt unhappy.
Looking at the looks in the eyes of some civilians Jonin, Akaseki felt even more "provocative" Hyuga This wave is not a loss - if we don't show it, who will know that we didn't vote?
"The last fourth elected Elder Jonin... is Namiashi Jonin." Hiruzen Sarutobi announced.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's final announcement was a little different - it didn't mean that he got fourth place in the vote, it just said that he was the fourth person elected.
Obviously, Fujirō Namiashi was elected because the restriction of "at least two civilians Jonin" was triggered.
Directly select the one with the most votes from the remaining civilians Jonin.
Fujirō Namiashi is not too outstanding among civilians Jonin - after all, apart from Jiraiya and Orochimaru, none of them are too outstanding among civilians Jonin.
The reason why Namiashi was elected is easy to guess...
Previously on Jonin Meeting, Namiashi was the first one who couldn't help but stand up and accuse Shimura Danzō head-on!
When everyone is similar, this "courage" to speak out becomes very important, and he suddenly gets a large number of votes of confidence from civilians Jonin.
Likewise...
After Shikaku told him that Fujirō Namiashi's voice was very high, Akaseki also decided to pool Uchiha Clan's votes. In the end, Uchiha Clan's three votes were cast for Canglan, Nara Luzang, and Fujirō Namiashi, accurately casting three out of three votes.
It's not just about voting.
Fujirō Namiashi and Uchiha Clan are originally related...
He and Kamizuki Kongyun often team up with Kagami Uchiha.
The three of them were together when Mirror Clan Elder died. Mirror Clan Elder's sacrifice gave them a chance to escape.
Although Uchiha Clan failed to continue this friendship after that, and instead bullied the two of them in all aspects because of the death of Jing Clan Elder, but... Namiashi and Kamizuki themselves are still very grateful to Jing Clan Elder.
In addition, the son of Fujirō Namiashi is Namiashi Raidō, which is also the student of Minato...
Therefore, although Akaseki and Fujirō Namiashi have not collaborated directly, their relationship is actually not small.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi made this announcement, Akaseki immediately stared at the Uchiha Clans and did not let them speak rudely again - otherwise, Clan Elder's sacrifice to save him would be enough for the Uchiha Clans to talk about for a while.
Then the votes for all the candidates were announced...
Akaseki:...
Looking at the end, there are clearly 0 votes, and they are all Uchiha Clan, Akaseki. I can't help but feel helpless.
These eye-catching bags!
Originally, Akaseki took the initiative to express his non-candidacy, and after unified voting within the clan, it was completely meaningless for other Uchiha Clan to register.
But...
Since there is no strict order not to register individually, several Uchiha Clan and Jonin still signed up.
The others in the clan still followed suit, but they just had to sign up...
The result is another demonstration of their popularity - not even a consolation vote! Why do you bother?
"Hoho, there are so many zeros." Clan Elder from the Hyuga Clan seized the opportunity and mocked.
Akaseki:...
Although I knew he didn't mean it that way, Akaseki, who had been "contaminated", still felt awkward.
Then, before anyone else could speak, Akaseki said calmly, "We Uchiha Clan and Jonin can sign up if they want to. It is better than being scolded and tortured when some people say they want to sign up."
"You... what are you talking nonsense! Where is there anyone who wants to sign up... We Hyuga Clan..." Clan Elder of the Hyuga Clan heard this and was immediately shocked and annoyed.
Hyuga Clan and Branch Family want to sign up?
Of course not!
Do you still use Hyuga Jisuke to reprimand and provoke Caged Bird to punish you before you know it's not allowed?
But...
"Huh? I didn't say it was you Hyuga Clan... I meant Minato wanted to sign up, so I scolded him. Why are you running for Elder at such a young age..."
Minato:...
Akaseki asked in a matter-of-fact tone, "What do you think?"
Hyuga Clan people stopped talking.
At the same time, the sharp-eyed and careful Jonin has discovered why this number is wrong?
After everyone's votes are added up, there are still three votes missing?
Don't all Jonin have to vote? Why is there still one who hasn't voted?
The matter of Dan Katō has not yet been made public, and ordinary Jonin is not aware of it. For a moment, everyone felt a little heavy, thinking that a comrade on the front line had died.
