TUS Chapter 163: The Hokage Vote
🕑 Added 2024-08-01 04:48:49 +0000 UTC"By the way, where's Shizune?" Funan suddenly asked. "Isn't she your little follower?"
This time it was Tsunade's turn to mock. "Oh, you still remember Shizune, it's rare, I thought you were dazzled by the number of women around you."
Funan glanced at her and said faintly: "I heard that you owe a lot of money, is it true?"
Tsunade's face turned pale, and she said: "What do you mean?"
"Literally."
"Hmph!" Tsunade snorted coldly and turned away.
"Would you like to have a drink?" Funan smiled and said: "Do you have money to drink?"
"What do you want?" Tsunade sneered. "Still want to get me drunk? What do you want to do? Bad boy!"
"Oh, don't think too much." Funan responded indifferently. "You should be older than my mother. Even if I am not picky about food..."
[Boom!]
The ground suddenly sank.
Tsunade stood in the crater, fissures spreading around her.
Funan's figure had disappeared in a series of flashes.
Tsunade had a gloomy expression and coldly looked in the direction where Funan left. “Well, you got away quickly. But this isn’t over, remember that!”
The people around trembled in fear at the sight of Tsunade.
Jiraiya, who had been approaching excitedly, stopped and his expression of excitement turned to fear.
Tsunade is still Tsunade!
Jiraiya ran in the opposite direction at a faster speed.
When Funan returned to her residence, Shizune was drinking tea and chatting with Shirayu.
There was also Uzuki Yugao by her side.
Seeing his women so harmonious, Funan felt satisfied and entered the room, without wasting time, he hugged Shizune.
His hands began to move in a dishonest manner.
“What were you talking about, dear? Have you missed me after all this time?”
Shizune blushed deeply and scolded him: “Be more decent!”
"We are all family, what's the matter?" Funan said with a smile. “Tonight you will see how I fight against the three of you.”
“Aren’t you afraid of being exhausted?” Shirayu poured a cup of tea for Funan and said: “Do you want to take the position?”
“Yes, it’s time for me to become Hokage.”
“It won’t be that easy, will it?”
"Haha, it's not as difficult as you think." Funan said indifferently. "Remember what I said? I want the people in the village to beg me to become Hokage!"
"Beg you?" Shirayu almost laughed.
"Don't believe it?" Funan smiled and said: “Then let's bet.”
"Okay!" Shirayu didn't care and said: "Let's bet. I'm curious to see how you plan to get the townspeople to beg you to be Hokage."
Funan then began to plan his strategy.
However, he had not spoken to many people. Only a few.
After that, he walked into the Forest of Death, first absorbing the life energy of a group of cultists, and then swallowing all the recently collected death row prisoners and captives.
Under this huge life energy, the fruit in his body began to mature again.
This time, Funan's choice is still Sage Mode.
Funan fruits looked like this:
Level 4 (Fire Release)
Level 6 (Eye Techniques)
Level 5 (Sage Mode)
…
Seven days later, Akimichi Torifu returned to Konoha with a large army.
As expected, both Torifu and Hiruzen were injured.
People were not interested in the injuries of these two, but instead looked at them with a strange expression.
They had set out with five thousand people. And then they had added a few hundred more elites. Now there were only about sixteen hundred people left.
Four thousand had died!
Konoha had not suffered such a great loss in years.
Torifu, with an ashen complexion, announced his resignation as interim Hokage in public.
He really couldn't stand to remain in that position. At this moment, he felt that everyone looked at him with hatred and contempt.
"Since Torifu-sama has resigned from the position of Acting Hokage, then we will elect the Fifth Hokage to lead us!" Shikaku announced, during the village Jonin meeting.
Hearing his words, the room fell into absolute silence.
"I recommend Tsunade." A Jonin stood up.
Mokume Kotaro.
He represented the civilian shinobi and had great prestige among them. He had worked as a team with Tsunade and knew her well. He looked at Tsunade who had just returned, his eyes full of determination.
Before Tsunade could say anything, one Jonin after another began to stand up.
"I also recommend Tsunade-sama!"
"Me too!"
"I, recommend Tsunade-sama!"
In the blink of an eye, a large number of Jonin recommended Tsunade.
Tsunade could no longer sit still and stood up suddenly. "Everyone, you forgot, I..."
"I also recommend Tsunade!"
A voice interrupted Tsunade's words.
Akimichi Torifu!
He said calmly: "As an ordinary jonin of Konoha, I recommend Tsunade." After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Funan.
Funan maintained a calm expression, not even looking at him, with a slight smile on his lips.
But when Torifu stood up, even more Jonin began to stand up.
Jiraiya sighed and stood up and said: "I choose Tsunade too!"
He was always worried about Uchiha, which was also the view of most Konoha shinobi.
"Hey!" Tsunade exclaimed, unable to contain herself.
Could it be that she really would have to stay and become Hokage? She was not interested in sitting on the volcano that was Konoha.
"Before recommending me, didn't you consider whether I really wanted to do it?"
"Tsunade!" Hiruzen said in a stern tone. "Don't act on impulse. Do you want Konoha to be destroyed?"
Damn it!
Hearing this, Tsunade was about to explode.
Who wants to destroy Konoha?
You are the least qualified person to say this, right?
Just then, Funan spoke, as he looked at Tsunade with a smile. "Hiruzen is right. Tsunade, Konoha is the work of the First Hokage. Could you bear to watch it be destroyed?"
Tsunade: "???"
Others: "???"
"What did you say?" Tsunade stared at Funan in amazement.
An Uchiha who has coveted the position of Hokage for decades is saying that?
Since when did the Uchiha clan's spirit become so selfless? Had they underestimated the Uchiha?
Then, many people suddenly realized.
Uchiha is still the arrogant Uchiha. They are ready to compete for the position of Hokage openly and win the victory in an upright manner.
But does Uchiha Funan really think he has a chance?
The next moment, Aburame Shibi stood up and said: "I recommend Uchiha Funan!"
There was a moment of silence at the scene.
"I support Tsunade!"
An old voice sounded.
It was Sarutobi Hiruzen!
There's no denying that Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn't very popular at this time, but after being Hokage for so many years, he could still influence many people.
Funan looked at the people present.
After Hiruzen supported Tsunade, the number of votes almost reached half of the Jonin present.
It was almost certain that Tsunade would become Hokage.
But Funan remained calm.
Hiruzen and the others, on the other hand, were becoming increasingly nervous.
What's going on?
With the vote at this point, why has Funan not shown its cards yet?
Is there only one Aburame?
Therefore, the biggest problem must be...!
Hiruzen and Torifu turned their gazes towards the Hyuga clan.
The world has always known that the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan had allied themselves.
Therefore, from the beginning, Hiruzen and the others had been on guard against the Hyuga clan.
For this reason, they also prepared a big gift for Uchiha Funan.
Hiruzen and Torifu looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Let's decide the winner!
The two of them looked at Hyuga Hiashi with a sharp gaze.
Hyuga Hiashi's face was bitter, and he looked at the elder beside him.
The elder looked at Hiashi with an even more ferocious expression and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Hiashi, don't fool yourself! It's for the good of the clan!"
He thought of the promise Sarutobi Hiruzen made to his clan the other day and his heart filled with fervor.
Hiashi sighed faintly, stood up, and said: "We, the Hyuga clan, recommend... Tsunade!"
"Wow!"
Hearing this result, there was an uproar at the scene.
Wasn't it said that the Hyuga and Uchiha had formed an alliance? How come the Hyuga betrayed the Uchiha?
Hearing the result, Tsunade was stunned. Since when did I say I wanted to be Hokage? You bastards are fooling me!
The position of Hokage, which others coveted, she truly detested.
In addition, many people at the scene had expressions of discontent.
These were people who wanted to vote for Uchiha.
Uchiha is now powerful, and Uchiha Funan is indeed very charismatic and worthy of their following.
But the overall situation has been decided, and no matter how much they vote, it doesn't make much sense.
They did not understand why Uchiha Funan had suggested from the beginning that they should not vote.
Meanwhile, Aburame Shibi maintained a calm expression. He was the only one who voted for Uchiha.
Many people looked at him with a playful look.
Hiruzen and Torifu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they were not very satisfied with Tsunade's success, it was much better than Uchiha.
