The Muscle God of the Uchiha

pity.

After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, with the death of the fourth generation, this promise was also buried together.

Chapter 170: Why not choose Hokage?

The good news is.

The Uchiha clan defected from Konoha. Jiraiya wanted to become the fifth Hokage and no longer needed the votes of this clan.

In this case, the upcoming Jonin vote of confidence will undoubtedly be a good situation for Jiraiya.

first.

The jounin of the Sarutobi, Tenjin, and Mitomon clans will undoubtedly support Jiraiya.

Secondly.

The Ino, Deer, and Butterfly clan of Konoha have always been staunch supporters of the Hokage clan, and have been loyal to the Sandaime for decades. As long as he gives the order, they will vote for Jiraiya.

There is also the Hyuga clan.

This clan was also recruited by the Sandaime using the police department and joined his command, so it was impossible to betray them.

Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh that his mentor, the Sandaime, had already paved the way for him, allowing him to get half of the votes of the Jounin of Konoha without any effort.

The rest are other small and medium-sized ninja clans and civilian jounin.

In the conference room.

The Sandaime looked serious and warned Jiraiya:

Leave the votes of the four clans of Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi and Hyuga to me. Jiraiya, before tomorrow's Jonin confidence vote begins, you have to visit other ninja clans more, the more votes you can get. The better, try to be foolproof.”

I see.

Jiraiya responded solemnly.

Hearing this, the Sandaime nodded happily and showed a smile:

Then, I look forward to handing the Hokage hat to you tomorrow. Get ready, Jiraiya.

I will die for Konoha.

Jiraiya's eyes were firm.

At the same time, he also realized that today might be his last free day.

at dusk.

Jiraiya, who had been running around among the various ninja clans in the village for most of the day, dragged his tired body and unknowingly arrived at the gate of the ancestral home of the Senju clan.

He came here to meet someone.

Tsunade.

Because, among the tens of thousands of ninjas in Konoha, what Jiraiya hopes to get the most is Tsunade's support for his upcoming Hokage.

However, he was disappointed.

Tsunade-sama just went out.

It was Shizune who opened the door. She was holding a pet piggy in her arms and said to Jiraiya.

Where did she go? Jiraiya was stunned and asked quickly.

It seems... I went to find Uchiha. Shizune frowned and made a guess.

Jiraiya was immediately surprised when he heard Dan's name.

ten minutes later.

Uchiha clan extraterrestrial.

As soon as Jiraiya arrived, he saw Tsunade's back in the distance and walked into the Uchiha Meat Modification Department building.

...

He was speechless for a long time, and finally left sadly.

Meat modification department, equipment area.

He had the huge gym to himself, sweating profusely while doing strength training.

What he enjoyed most was the feeling of muscle soreness after exercise.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the door.

Bang.

Duan put down the barbell, picked up the towel on the side and wiped his sweat, then looked at the visitor.

I agree to your terms. You teach me Yin Escape Illusion Body Technique, and I teach you Yin Seal.

Tsunade got straight to the point and seemed to have thought it through.

Okay, that's cool enough.

Danya didn't want to talk nonsense and asked Tsunade to wait for a while at the taijutsu dojo, Let me take a shower first, and then we can start communicating.

Tsunade crossed her arms and nodded: Yes.

The sun sets, the moon rises, and night falls.

In order to dispel Tsunade's concerns and to show his sincerity, Duan offered to teach Tsunade the Yin Escape Phantom Body Technique first.

Tsunade naturally agreed readily to this.

then.

In the indoor dojo of the Meat Modification Department, two figures came and went, fighting each other until late at night.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, Suan put on Uchiha's high-collared blue robe, tied his belt, and got ready to go out.

Tsunade walked out of the side room and asked doubtfully: Do you want to go out?

Today is the day for the Jonin's vote of confidence. Jiraiya is going to be the Hokage. Don't you plan to witness this historic moment?

Dan's eyes flashed and he extended an invitation to Tsunade.

Tsunade shook her head and yawned: I'm not interested in joining in the fun.

After saying that, he raised his hands, stretched out, turned around and went back to the room.

She practiced Phantom Body Technique with Duan late last night, which made her back hurt, so she simply spent the night here, but it seemed that she didn't sleep very well and needed to catch up on some sleep.

Today seems to be a good day.

The wind was beautiful and the sun was clear, with no clouds in the sky, and a flock of birds soared over Konoha Village.

When Suan arrived in front of the Hokage Building, the place was already packed with people. Tens of thousands of Konoha villagers were eagerly waiting for the official announcement of the candidate for the Fifth Hokage.

In this difficult period, Konoha needs a young and powerful new Hokage to boost the morale of all villagers and lead the village out of the trough.

Many people firmly believe that Lord Jiraiya is the chosen one.

The sudden appearance caused a commotion in the crowd, and then——

Swish, swish, swish.

Gazes full of resentment and hatred came from all directions and fell on him.

If looks could kill, Duan would have died thousands of times by now.

In the eyes of the villagers, Uchiha is the root cause of Konoha's current situation. Uchiha Dan is the biggest cancer parasitic on Konoha Village.

It is simply a shame for Konoha that such a person can sit in the position of Hokage's assistant so openly.

He didn't care at all about the hostility of the villagers.

He walked straight into the Hokage Building and came to the rooftop, where all the Jounin of Konoha had gathered and were whispering.

after awhile.

As today's protagonist, Jiraiya, the quasi-Fifth Hokage, finally appeared amidst everyone's expectations.

I saw him walking out of the crowd alone, then turned around, faced everyone on the rooftop, and bowed.

Then, the Sandaime also walked up to Jiraiya and announced in a deep voice:

Then now, the Jonin vote of confidence has officially begun. Those who support Jiraiya becoming the Fifth Hokage, please raise your hands.

The words just fell.

Swish.

The jonins of the Sarutobi, Tenden, and Mitomon clans immediately raised their hands.

Under their leading influence, some jounin from small and medium-sized ninja clans, as well as jounin from civilian backgrounds such as Metkai, also raised their hands to vote in favor.

However, here's the surprise.

The jonins of the three clans of Ino, Deer, and Butterfly stood there with their arms folded, and did not raise their hands for a long time.

Um?

Seeing this scene, the Sandaime couldn't help but shrink his pupils and was surprised.

Only then did he realize that he might have made a mistake this time.

Yesterday, the Sandaime met with the clan leaders of the Inar, Deer, and Butterflies tribes and solemnly asked them to support Jiraiya in his rise to power.

He originally thought that the three tribes would listen to him as always, but to his surprise, they had their own ideas.

The Sandaime was indeed careless, or in other words, he overestimated the weight of his former Hokage in other people's hearts.

Not long ago.

In the battle between Konoha and Amegakure, the three clans of Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi fought as the main force of Konoha. As a result, they suffered heavy losses, and many elites were killed on the battlefield.

Among them, the Qiudao clan also lost the respected elder Qiudao Feng.

For this reason, Inogacho was full of complaints against the Sandaime who had rashly launched a war, and he also had no favorable impression of Jiraiya, the Sandaime's disciple.

The Sandaime came to see them yesterday. Although he seemed sincere and said he was for Konoha and the Will of Fire, he did not promise any specific benefits.

The three clans of pigs, deer, and butterflies no longer do this.

At this time, they chose to use this method to express their protest and dissatisfaction to the Hokage family.

The third generation's face turned a little ugly.

He temporarily moved his eyes away from the Inar, Deer, and Butterfly clans and looked at the Hyuga clan on the side.

Since Uchiha left, the Hyuga clan has legitimately become the largest clan in Konoha. There are many jounin in the clan and they have a lot of say in the village.

As long as the Hyuga clan votes in favor, even if there are no votes from the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly clans, Jiraiya can still successfully ascend to the position of Hokage.

Don't let me down, Rizu.

With such a mood, the Sandaime looked at Hinata and Hinata with burning eyes, only to find that the latter had a bitter look on his face.

these days.

As the captain of the police department, Hinata Hizu gradually understood one thing.

The seemingly glorious police department is actually a hard job.

The patrol team of the police department is a profession that has its share of successes and failures.

No matter how civilized the Hyuga clan is in enforcing the law, they will not get praise from the villagers for the orderly security work in Konoha Village, because in the eyes of many villagers, this is the job of the police department.

However.

Once the police department has conflicts or disputes with villagers on public security issues, they are often accused by the villagers, saying that people from the police department abused their power and lorded it over the villagers.

To put it simply, it is thankless.

If this continues, I am afraid that within a few years, the reputation of the Hyuga clan in Konoha will rapidly deteriorate, and sooner or later they will become the second Uchiha.

What dissatisfied Hinata the most is——

The police department is extremely busy every day, but most of them deal with trivial matters.

When encountering a major situation, Konoha ANBU will immediately intervene, excluding the police department in the name of protecting the village and the Hokage.
