"One vote for Shimura Danzō!"
"One vote for Shimura Danzō!"
"Shimura Danzō!"
"Shimura Danzō!"
Mitokado Homura drew four ballots in a row from the box, all votes for Danzo, making him turn around and add four tally marks beneath Danzo's name.
Yes, after several days of preparation, the election for the Fourth Hokage had finally begun.
As it turned out, work was much more efficient without a leader who wanted to give speeches every single day.
Only two names were displayed on the election blackboard: Shimura Danzō and Orochimaru.
Although Sakumo enjoyed strong public support, he had firmly refused, unwilling to let anything at all go wrong for his old buddy Danzo.
Orochimaru had not even shown up yet, presumably not taking this uncalled-for business to heart.
In terms of seniority, Danzo had witnessed Konoha's growth.
In terms of achievements, Danzo had fought bloody battles for Konoha in both the First and Second Shinobi World Wars, and now he even wore the half-sleeved robe signifying the Daimyō's recognition.
As for ability, the battle in the Land of Lightning was the greatest proof!
Right now, the ninja from the Eastern Front wanted only to roar:
Who! Else!
They really had no idea why the Second Hokage had not chosen Lord Danzo!
"One vote for Orochimaru!" A hint of relief entered Mitokado Homura's booming voice. Finally!
If Orochimaru did not get a single vote, that would make for a serious grudge.
Hm?
The Eastern Front ninja's gazes sharpened!
Some Jonin actually had the nerve to vote for someone other than Lord Danzo.
Don't let us catch you!
Or you'll be sorry!
"One vote for Orochimaru!"
"Orochimaru!"
"Orochi..."
Hm?
Something's clearly wrong with this Konoha!
Maybe we should just start killing!
The Eastern Front ninja's mindset underwent a few changes.
