History seemed to begin repeating itself at that moment.
When the village was founded, the Senju Clan had produced two generations of Hokage, striking awe throughout the Shinobi World.
Now, was it finally time for a face from the Uchiha Clan to appear on Hokage Rock?
"I, speaking only for myself, support Uchiha Minamoto."
Tsunade spoke softly.
But no one could disregard her opinion.
Because she was Princess Tsunade of the Senju!
Her Granduncle was Hashirama Senju, her Second Granduncle was Tobirama Senju, and her teacher was Hiruzen Sarutobi!
Before anyone realized it.
Only Hiruzen Sarutobi and Utatane Koharu in the entire conference room had yet to state their positions.
Utatane Koharu looked over.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked back.
Their eyes exchanged a message in an instant.
Hiruzen, what do we do?
You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?
Then... shall we?
Utatane Koharu stood, looking at Uchiha Minamoto as she forced a smile.
"I also support Commander-in-Chief Uchiha Minamoto's appointment as the new Hokage Advisor."
Shimura Danzō was gone.
Mitokado Homura looked to be on his way out, too.
Utatane Koharu could only save herself.
She did not want to become the next target of Uchiha Minamoto's reckoning!
So she cast her vote in support!
Finally, everyone's gaze converged on the head seat once more.
Everyone was waiting for the Third Hokage's final decision.
As Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the scene before him, conflicting feelings churned within him.
He had seen right through Uchiha Minamoto's overt scheme.
Perhaps this brat did not truly need to become a Hokage Advisor.
The position of Hokage Advisor sounded impressive, but in reality, it was not as lofty or powerful as people imagined.
To put it bluntly.
The so-called High-Level Advisors were really just parasites clinging to the Hokage.
That was right.
