Don't give me that nonsense about him reining himself in once he became Hokage.
After more than a decade, everyone knew exactly what sort of man he was.
"You..."
Danzo was so furious his teeth ached. He wanted to tear Uchiha Yan apart on the spot.
"Enough, Danzo! Your nomination stands. Sit down!"
The Third Hokage spoke up sharply, ordering Danzo back into his seat.
Then he turned to Uchiha Yan. "Yan, we're holding an election. Don't cause trouble."
All he wanted was to settle this quickly, without any more complications.
As for the feud between Uchiha Yan and Danzo, they could sort that out themselves later.
"Fine."
Uchiha Yan shrugged and said nothing more.
"Does anyone else have a nomination?"
The Third Hokage looked around and asked again.
He waited a long while, but no one else stood up.
The Third Hokage rose and announced, "All right, then. We have these four candidates."
"Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Danzo."
"Each of you has four wooden sticks of different colors in front of you."
"Red represents Tsunade, white represents Orochimaru, yellow represents Jiraiya, and black represents Danzo."
"Raise the stick corresponding to your choice."
"Begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone raised their sticks.
At a glance, more than eighty percent had chosen red.
In other words, they supported Tsunade.
Of the rest, a small number chose Orochimaru or Jiraiya.
Only the dozen or so members of the Shimura Clan chose Danzo.
Seeing the result, Danzo's face turned black as soot.
The Third Hokage smiled. "Excellent. Tsunade has the support of more than four-fifths of you, so let us congratulate her on officially becoming Hokage. Does anyone object?"
"No."
The vast majority shook their heads and prepared to stand up to congratulate Tsunade.
Bang!
Just then, Danzo shattered the table
