Extra 6: The Grand Election

Naruto swallowed the meat in his mouth, scratched his head, and said, "How could I? No matter how busy I am, I have to make time for Hinata and everyone else."

"And if I'm elected, I'll definitely have to find ways to improve everyone's lives; I can't just be busy with work."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hinata beside him, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Hinata blushed even more and lowered her head gently.

" Sasuke, what about you? What are your thoughts on this election? Don't just stay silent." Shikamaru chewed on some meat while looking at Sasuke.

Sasuke put down his chopsticks and bowl, pondered for a moment, and said, "I still stand by what I said: no matter who is elected, the safety and development of Yan Star cannot be neglected."

"I will do everything I can to protect it; it's our shared responsibility."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if I don't succeed him. I've already decided that I must follow in Brother Yan's footsteps from now on!"

"My ultimate goal is to transcend to a higher dimension!!!"

Hearing Sasuke say that...

Everyone was slightly taken aback, then their eyes revealed admiration.

Naruto broke the silence first, patting Sasuke's shoulder hard and grinning, " Sasuke, whatever decision you make, I'll support you!"

Haruno Sakura nodded and said, "Yes, we all believe you have the ability."

Shikamaru sighed helplessly, "Sigh, you're all so ambitious."

"I'll have it much easier. I can just continue living my leisurely life on Yan Star and provide some logistical support for you busy people."

Choji, stuffing food into his mouth, mumbled indistinctly, " Sasuke, if you successfully ascend to another dimension, don't forget us! Maybe you can bring us back some delicious food from other dimensions!"

Sasuke looked at everyone, a slight smile playing on his lips, "Don't worry, even if I embark on the path of dimensional ascension, I will never forget you all."

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard swayed gently, their petals falling like snowflakes onto everyone's shoulders.

Watching the petals fluttering in the air, Tenten suddenly had a brilliant idea and jokingly said with a smile, "Hey, speaking of which, it seems that among our group, only Sakura and Sasuke are still single!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura's face flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly.

Ino teased from the side, " Sakura, you'd better step up your game! Sasuke so outstanding, be careful he doesn't get snatched away by someone else!"

Sakura's face turned even redder. She gently bit her lip, looked up at Sasuke, and her eyes revealed a hint of stubbornness and expectation.

Kiba Inuzuka chimed in, " Sasuke, stop thinking about leveling up! You should also think about your future!"

"Yes!" Shikaku smiled and continued the conversation, " Sasuke, your parents have already had three children, and Itachi has married his childhood sweetheart. You're the only one left."

"Last time, Fugaku and Aunt Mikoto even asked me if I knew any suitable girls to introduce to you."

"..."

Faced with the jeers and commotion from the crowd, Sasuke smiled helplessly and did not respond.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Sakura's eyes, and she quickly changed the subject.

As the Tenten went by, the election for Yan Star entered its final crucial stage.

The city was filled with campaign speeches and promotional events, and the public was enthusiastically discussing who was the most suitable candidate to succeed Emperor Yan.

Finally, the election day arrived.

The entire Yan Star was immersed in a tense yet exciting atmosphere, with people flocking to the polling stations to cast their votes for their chosen Emperor Yan.

The voting process went very smoothly.

After a long and rigorous vote counting process, the results were finally announced.

Sasuke Uchiha by six votes, surpassing Naruto Uzumaki, and was successfully elected as the third Flame Emperor Yan of Yan Star.

After the results were announced, cheers and applause erupted on Yan Star.

People have high hopes for Sasuke, believing that he can lead Yan Star to an even more glorious future.

Sasuke stood in the central square of Yan Star, looking at the cheering crowd, feeling both excited and apprehensive.

At this moment, the expectations of the crowd surged towards him like a tide, strengthening his resolve to forge ahead.

Naruto was the first to walk up to Sasuke, patting him on the shoulder as always and grinning, " Sasuke, I knew you could do it! If you run into any trouble, don't forget that you have your good brother here to support you!"

Sasuke nodded slightly, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Thanks. Without your support, I wouldn't have made it this far."

Haruno Sakura stepped forward, her eyes slightly red, and said softly, " Sasuke, you must become the Emperor Yan that everyone can be proud of. I believe you have the ability. If you need medical assistance, feel free to contact me anytime."

Sasuke looked at Sakura and sincerely thanked her.

At that moment, Senju Tobirama slowly strolled over.

The soon-to-be-retired second Emperor Yan looked intently at Sasuke and spoke earnestly.

" Sasuke Uchiha, from this day forward, the future of the Yan Star rests in your hands."

"Now that you stand here, you must be aware of the difficulties ahead. You must balance the various forces, protect every inch of Yan Star's land, and not betray the people's trust."

Sasuke knelt on one knee, solemnly accepting the badge symbolizing the power of the Emperor Yan, and replied, " Sasuke do his utmost to live up to your trust."

After the enthronement ceremony, Sasuke immediately threw himself into busy political affairs.

The first priority is to gather experts from all sides to thoroughly discuss Yan Star's development strategy.

Inside the meeting room, the atmosphere was both solemn and enthusiastic, as scholars, representatives of ninja clans, and military commanders expressed their opinions freely.

Uchiha Feng spoke first, saying, " Emperor Yan, the situation on the surrounding planets is complex. We must accelerate the construction of our defense system. I propose increasing investment in the chakra sensing network and energy shield nodes to ensure absolute safety."

Hyuga Yuto nodded slightly, then said, "Defense is important, but we cannot neglect diplomatic expansion."

"By forging closer alliances with friendly planets and sharing technology and resources, Yan Star can gain a foothold in the universe and seize more opportunities for development."

Sasuke pondered for a moment and said, "What you two say is very true; defense and diplomacy must go hand in hand."

" Uchiha Feng, you are responsible for overseeing the subsequent construction of the defense system. You must ensure that the defenses of key areas are upgraded again within six months."

" Hyuga Yuto, I'll leave the diplomatic affairs to you. Arrange meetings and negotiations with several important planets as soon as possible, and strive to reach substantial cooperation agreements."

"Yes, sir!" The two accepted the order and left.

"..."

In the following period, Sasuke distributed the Konoha 12 into various other departments.

Soon, the core faction belonging to the third Emperor Yan was established.

A year later, the transition of power to Emperor Yan went very smoothly, and the development of Yan Star gradually began to get on the right track.
