"The Hokage? He really said that?"
Upon hearing Nara Clan Compound Nara Shikaku's explanation, Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza immediately widened their eyes.
Nara Shikaku, sitting across the low table, nodded with a gloomy expression.
"That's right, there's no doubt that Uchiha Mirai has decided to run for Hokage."
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
"This is troublesome."
Akimichi Choza slumped in his chair, as if he had lost his soul in an instant, his eyes lifeless.
The Uchiha Mirai has decided to run for Hokage means that the Calamity Uchiha has a completely opposite stance on this matter.
The Uchiha Mirai is no pushover.
The reason why the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, has fallen to his current state is inextricably linked to that Calamity Uchiha.
Akimichi Choza even speculated that Sarutobi Hiruzen's current lung disease was also related to Uchiha Mirai.
After all, many ninjas who survived under Uchiha Mirai after the Third Great Ninja War exhibited similar symptoms.
But now is clearly not the time to dwell on such things.
If Uchiha were to actually become Hokage in the future...
"Ding, don't be too pessimistic. Things may not be beyond repair."
Yamanaka Inoichi deep voice.
"What, do you have a solution?"
Akimichi Choza looked over there.
"First of all, even if the Uchiha Mirai, the probability of them winning the Jonin votes would be extremely low."
"Secondly, as direct descendants of the Hokage, we have a significant advantage. With a little manipulation, we can easily reduce his votes."
Akimichi Choza's eyes suddenly lit up.
Just as Yamanaka Inoichi said, the key to becoming Hokage is the Jonin election.
They could easily manipulate the Jonin election to reduce the Uchiha Mirai votes to an extremely low level.
How many Jonin could the Uchiha Clan alone have?
He is simply not qualified to run for Hokage.
"This shouldn't be too difficult to do. The Uchiha Clan has been too powerful lately, and no other ninja clan wants to produce an Uchiha Clan."
Nara Shikaku's eyes were deep and thoughtful.
This is also why he said those words in the Uchiha Clan Compound.
Uchiha Mirai, they will undoubtedly be fighting against the entire Konoha!
If Uchiha Mirai, given his strength and the current power of the Uchiha Clan...
In the future, Konoha will inevitably become a place dominated by the Uchiha Clan.
The living space for other ninja clans will be greatly reduced.
And what's even more terrifying is that Uchiha Mirai currently very young!
His peak period is still a long way off.
Who is the Sixth Hokage?
Who is the Seventh?
The Uchiha Mirai could potentially train a designated next Hokage.
No ninja clan could tolerate this!
"Shikaku, how are Tsunade and Jiraiya doing?"
Yamanaka Inoichi question.
He remembered that Nara Shikaku had already sent people to persuade them to succeed him as Hokage.
"Things are a little more complicated than I expected. Jiraiya has clearly rejected the Hokage's request, Tsunade is still hesitant."
Is that so?
Yamanaka Inoichi frowned.
If the Hokage cannot be selected soon, the situation will become troublesome.
"Don't worry! Now is not the time for them to hesitate."
Nara Shikaku's pupils resembled deep, gaping holes.
The Ino-Shika-Cho Clan has been bound to the Hokage for far too long.
Since Uchiha Mirai emerged from seclusion, the Third Hokage has made a series of disastrous moves, completely lacking the Shinobi Hero spirit he once possessed.
With Danzo dead, the power of the Hokage lineage was greatly weakened.
What's most infuriating is that Danzo death, withdrew a large number of the elite forces of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, almost all of whom were lost in the battle against the Uchiha Clan.
They were still angry but dared not vent it.
As long as the Third Hokage remains Hokage, he will be their superior and able to suppress them completely.
The Third Hokage is now seriously ill, and his lung disease is getting worse.
This is such a rare opportunity.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is no longer qualified to serve as Hokage.
It's time for Konoha to welcome a new king.
And these three races will gain the most from this change.
The following day, a startling piece of news spread like wildfire, reaching the entire village at an astonishing pace.
Konoha instantly erupted into a frenzy.
"Have you heard? The Third Hokage is unable to continue serving as Hokage due to lung disease, and the election for the new Hokage is about to begin!"
"So fast? Speaking of which, the Third Hokage was probably the longest-serving Hokage in the village, right? He's been in office ever since the Fourth Raikage died."
"Lady Tsunade and Lord Jiraiya are both in the village. Could it be that they came back for this matter?"
"I wonder who will succeed the Fifth Hokage?"
Just as the streets and alleys of Konoha were engulfed in shock and discussion, in the Sarutobi Clan Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was recuperating, heard his subordinate's report and suddenly froze, dropping the medicine bowl he was holding to the ground.
Snap!
The ceramic bowl shattered into pieces, and the brown, bitter medicine splattered all over the floor.
"What happened?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen glared angrily at the ninja who was kneeling and reporting.
"Cough cough! Cough cough!!!"
The intense emotional turmoil caused him to cough violently and uncontrollably, as if he were coughing up his lungs!
He's not dead yet!
He's not dead yet!
Why is an election for a new Hokage being held?
He, the Third Hokage, was actually the last to find out!
Sarutobi Hiruzen was trembling with rage, and his eyes were bulging with bloodshot veins.
Where did this news come from?
Is this an attempt to force the emperor to abdicate?
Just then, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.
"Hiruzen! What's going on? Why is there a sudden election for the Fifth Hokage?"
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, panting heavily, leaned against the door and shouted at Sarutobi Hiruzen mean?
Sarutobi Hiruzen silent.
The splattered brown medicine on the ground was extremely glaring.
"You don't know either?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was hoarse.
He originally thought that the only people who would release the news of the Hokage election while he was recuperating from a serious illness were his few old friends.
But now it seems...
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
They were all intelligent people, and seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's performance, they immediately understood many things.
"This is troublesome, Hiruzen."
The atmosphere in Utatane Koharu.
Are those guys trying to force me to resign?
The Third Hokage has not yet announced his abdication.
Releasing election news at this time is almost tantamount to...
Coup!
The air in the room suddenly turned icy cold.
The ninja who delivered the message knelt on one knee, trembling in the atmosphere.
As evening approached, another astonishing piece of news suddenly broke out, pushing the entire situation to its climax!
Uchiha Mirai decides to run for Hokage!
