I have a bunch of relatives who want to be Hokage

"Come here suddenly, what's the matter?" Uchiha Fugaku asked.

He is an elder and his magnanimity cannot be lost.

"Oh, that's it." Uchiha Shingen was about to speak when he saw Uchiha Fugaku wave his hand and made a "go out and tell" gesture to himself.

He had no choice but to shut up and follow Uchiha Fugaku out of the study.

"Xingen, let me ask you something."

"Clan leader, please tell me."

"After you came back, some bad rumors suddenly popped up in the village, did you know?"

"Hmm? Patriarch, what kind of rumors are they?"

"Of course, I personally don't mind talking about the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, but suddenly there are such rumors, which is not good for the family's image..."

Oh? Has it spread to the village?

Sigh...The gossip spirit of Konoha residents is really...

Uchiha Shingen was very emotional and was about to say something to comfort him when he found Uchiha Fugaku staring at him with a very playful expression.

Wait a minute!

This is doubting him!

There is no evidence, how can this be done! ?

"Clan leader, you know me!" Uchiha Shingen was filled with indignation, "I can't tolerate rumors the most. I will investigate carefully. When I catch that guy, I will leave it to you to punish him!"

"Forget it..." Uchiha Fugaku withdrew his gaze and let out a long sigh, "Why be angry when your mouth is on someone else's body."

In fact, he was very angry.

Not angry at the rumors, but...

This little bastard is so shameless, why doesn't he run for clan leader? ?

Is he the kind of person who doesn't give up his seat to young people? ?

Don’t you know how much the young people in your clan admire you? ? You should quickly propose to me that you want to be the leader of the clan!

"As expected of you, with this attitude!" Uchiha Shingen gave a thumbs up, "I will only recognize you in our family! I will kill whoever you say you want to kill!"

Is it okay to cut yourself?

Uchiha Fugaku sneered in his heart.

"If you fart, let it go!"

"Okay, Patriarch, actually I just heard about something..."

"Hokage assists? I won't compete. Don't you always say that you have to wait for the opportunity? I think the time is very immature now and the election is hopeless." Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand, he was really not interested.

In fact, he feels good now.

Namikaze Minato, the Hokage, became more and more interested in him.

The reputation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha has also been steadily improving, and the relationship with the Hokage Building has also eased a lot. In fact, there are even many people who speak out for the Uchiha clan in the current advisory group.

After all, what the Uchiha clan does for the village is seen by everyone.

This really made him happy.

"No, clan leader, you misunderstood." Uchiha Shingen said.

"Huh?" Uchiha Fugaku was confused. This was not something Uchiha Shingen would say.

He still knew very well that Uchiha Shingen was aiming for the position of the Hokage's assistant from the beginning.

"Clan leader, you are running for office just because you can't win."

"Nonsense." Uchiha Fugaku was unhappy and made a pun, "Don't do such crooked things."

"Clan leader, this is really a good opportunity." Regarding the hint from the facially paralyzed clan leader, Uchiha Shingen directly went in his left ear and out his right ear, "Nara Shikaku told me today that someone hopes that our family will not participate in the election."

"Nara Shikaku..." Uchiha Fugaku couldn't ignore this name, he paid attention to it, "He said that?"

"Yeah, I picked the Nara family very clean. I pretended to be angry."

"I understand. The superior clan will discuss this matter again." Uchiha Fugaku made a decision, "If the family needs it, I will go."

Chapter 5 Who does Nara Shikaku want to vote for?

After leaving Uchiha Fugaku's house, Uchiha left first in a very good mood.

Lao Gou criticizes, no, it’s the facially paralyzed Shuai Bi who finally gave up and was willing to go out.

Talking about upper clans voting, the Uchihas who have not had a stool in the decision-making level for decades, it would be considered moral integrity not to raise their feet to count the votes.

This position was also created by Senju Tobirama.

With kings like Mori no Senju and Uchiha at the beginning, and a group of powerful ninjas settling in later, the organizational composition of Konoha Hidden Village was very complicated from the beginning, with multiple internal forces forming, and a major hidden problem. The heap was just overshadowed by the strength of the Ninja God and Konoha Shura.

As the person who actually governs the village, Senju Tobirama feels less and less confident as time goes by, feeling like he is sitting on a powder keg.

Oh, he's not worried about his generation, he's worried about the next generation.

So there was the position of Hokage Assistant.

The Hokage Assistant was defined from the beginning as "the person who assists the Hokage in exercising his power", which also implies the setting of "ensuring that the village will not become the Hokage One Word Hall".

Hokage and Hokage's assistant, one master at a time, jointly control Konoha.

This design is actually to prevent various interest groups in the village from turning against each other due to the position of Hokage in the future, causing the village to collapse from within.

It's not unusual for this kind of thing to happen to ninjas.

In order to ensure that the Hokage's assistant has enough power and status to reconcile dissatisfaction with the Hokage, the Hokage's assistant also runs for election in the same way as the Hokage, that is, the jounin class votes and the daimyo is appointed.

Moreover, the Hokage cannot directly remove the Hokage Assistant, but can only nominate a new person to run for the Hokage Assistant again, and the original Hokage Assistant can still participate in the election.

Danzo Shimura abdicated in the first place because the leader of their interest group was Hiruzen Sarutobi and had to step down.

The news that Uchiha Fugaku was running for Hokage's assistant caused a storm of public opinion in the Uchiha clan that day.

The whole clan was shocked.

Many people couldn't believe it.

So, when the clan meeting was held in the evening, for the first time, no one was late, and they all arrived early.

This clan meeting was extremely formal, held in the largest auditorium in the clan, and everyone arranged their seats spontaneously.

The clan leader and elders sit on the stage, which is the old rule.

After that, the first row is the jounin of the family, followed by the chuunin and genin, arranged in this way.

Everyone was very serious. Hundreds of Uchiha ninjas filled the hall, and some genin who had no seats simply found empty spaces to stand.

All ninjas are here, regardless of whether they have their Sharingan opened or not.

There was even silence in the clan. Ordinary clan members who were not engaged in ninja work were silently waiting for the news at home.

These ordinary clan members can also understand the situation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha over the years and the recent changes.

From being sullen and lifeless every day to an environment filled with laughter and joy, no one wants to go back to the past.

But under this change, all the tribesmen are actually feeling uneasy inside.

That is, the Uchiha clan has no place in the Hokage Building, and the higher-ups have no channel for them to speak out.

Then everything in front of you will still become a passing cloud at any time.

This is also an important reason why the Uchiha clan is obsessed with Naruto. Everyone is not stupid. The previous atmosphere of the family and the village drifting apart made everyone breathless.

The police department can be expanded because most of the clan members have accepted Uchiha Shingen's statement that "you can gain something only if you give up."

If Uchiha Fugaku can run and be successfully elected as Hokage's assistant, then everyone will have peace of mind from now on.

They would no longer be Konoha's "marginal people".

Thumb...thump...

Footsteps came from the door.

Whether they were kneeling, sitting on the tatami or standing, they all turned their attention to the entrance of the auditorium.

The figures of Uchiha Fugaku and the elders appeared at the door.

Everyone who was sitting on their knees stood up and made way for them.

Uchiha Shingen, who was sitting in the front row as the jounin of the family, also stood up with everyone.

Together we watched Uchiha Fugaku and the elders walk into the path that the clan members gave way to and walked towards their seats on the stage.

Uchiha Fugaku and the elders were not walking very fast. Every time they passed someone, they would take a serious look at each other's expressions.

The expressions of both parties were very solemn.

When he walked to Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Fugaku looked at them with a smile on his face, then stepped onto the stage and knelt down in his place.

When several elders passed by, they also made the same move. Uchiha Setsuna was the last one. He patted the two of them on the shoulders and said "well done" to Uchiha Shingen before taking his seat on the stage.

When the clan members saw that all the elders were sitting down, they sat down again one after another.

"Let's start the discussion now." Uchiha Fugaku said, looking at the enthusiastic eyes of the whole room, he nodded, "I believe everyone knows that regarding whether our clan will participate in the election to be the Hokage's assistant, and who will participate, this is the only thing that needs to be done today. things to discuss.”

"Everyone can speak freely." Uchiha Setsuna added, "Needless to say, everyone knows the significance of this matter to the family. There is no need to distinguish between jounin and genin here."

Uchiha finished speaking in an instant, and the Uchiha had already begun to discuss.

The clansmen around Uchiha Shisui also asked him about the opinions of the current high-level officials of the Hokage Building on this matter.

In Konoha, whenever there is an election, there must first be a nomination.

The people with the right to nominate are the Hokage, the Hokage's assistant and the advisory elders.

The advisory group itself can also nominate one person after reaching consensus.

There is no need to consider this point. It would be damned if the current advisory group can reach a consensus.

Every time they had a meeting and quarreled, they could be heard upstairs and downstairs.

Uchiha Shingen asked more people. Now there are only two people in the Uchiha clan who can enter and exit the Hokage building openly. Uchiha Shisui is in the ANBU because he is in the jounin class. Once nominated, the jounin class The class's vote was decisive.

"Shingen, what is the attitude of the current jounin class towards the family?"

"It depends on who it is." Uchiha Shingen recalled the social achievements in the Jonin class during this period, "Don't think about it Sarutobi, they are competitors and will not vote for the Uchiha, Inokacho, etc. They always vote for the same person, basically they will vote for whoever Sarutobi votes for, but..."

"Isn't that a sure defeat?" A Jonin clan member criticized angrily, "It's the most despicable thing to do a behind-the-scenes operation!"

"So it's basic." Uchiha Shingen sighed, "Listen to me. What I'm saying is that the three of them must vote for the same person, but it's just 'basically' that they vote for the same person as Sarutobi."

It's just a vote, not a war. The relationship between the three clans, the Inar, Deer, and Butterflies, is still different from the alliance between them and Sarutobi.

"Today, Nara Shikaku told me that he hopes we will not run for election, so..."

"Nara Shikaku? He is the squad leader of the jounin class!" The jounin took a deep breath, "Sure enough, there is still not enough time? Sure enough, there is no support for our family in the jounin class."

"...Brother, what I mean is that Nara Shikaku actually hopes that our clan will participate in the election..." Uchiha Shingen looked at him helplessly, "Can you please stop interrupting me and let me finish my sentence at once?"

The other party shut up angrily.

Uchiha Shingen cleared his throat and continued.

"Dude, I have been going to the jounin class every day these days, and I have basically gotten a rough idea of ​​the situation. Hinata has the most people, Sarutobi is second, and our family has the least... Forget it, this is nonsense. In short, except for those two, there are a few others. The number of family members is about the same, and then there are the commoner jounin, these people will vote for whoever the fourth generation nominates."

"What does this have to do with Nara Shikaku wanting us to run? Why did he tell you not to run?"

The one who spoke was the jounin. His name was Uchiha Yunto. According to rumors, when his mother was pregnant with him, she couldn't stand the terrible name his father gave him. She raised her head to breathe fresh air and saw a A cloud drifts past...

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Uchiha Yunto does have a good wind escape.

Moreover, he is also known as reckless in his family. Everyone thinks that his intelligence is focused on fighting.

"If he really doesn't want us to run for election, he will persuade the clan leader through the Akimichi clan." Uchiha Shingen did not explain too much and expressed his guess, "I think Nara Shikaku wants the fourth generation to nominate the clan leader. This way we can divide the batch of votes among civilian jounin."

"What if the Fourth Hokage doesn't nominate us?"

"Yes, the only ninja of the Ninja clan that the Yondaime can nominate is the clan leader." Uchiha Shingen said confidently.

"Who will Nara Shikaku and the others vote for?" Uchiha Yunto scratched his head.

"Don't you even think about it..." Uchiha Shingen looked at him, "Have you forgotten that the Sandaime can also nominate? The Sandaime will never nominate the Sarutobi clan, so he must nominate Nara Shikaku himself."
