Train to Another World.

Chapter 165 The Election Begins

Li Zhuoguang pulled Qin Daniu aside and said, "Think about it, if you force him to accept you, he will definitely feel resentful.

By then, even the martial arts you taught me will be in conflict with them. How can I practice boxing well in this situation?"

Qin Daniu said as a matter of course: "I don't want to force his apprentice, I just want his master to know the gap between us and willingly let his apprentice make a better choice."

"Then, is there a possibility that you are not a match for his master?"

Qin Daniu thought for a moment and answered confidently, "The warrior named Ai is one of the Five Kage, and the best at close combat among the Five Kage, but he is only comparable to me.

After this mission, I will definitely be stronger than him. Even the top taijutsu masters are only this strong, so an ordinary jonin should not be my opponent. "

Li Zhuoguang looked around to see if there was anyone around, and whispered to him about the characteristics of the Eight Gates of Dunjia. Qin Daniu frowned even more after hearing this.

"This is not the noble path, but the path of a dead warrior. I cannot let him go astray."

Li Zhuoguang wanted to say that ninjas were assassins, but that probably wouldn't convince Qin Daniu, so he simply said, "Why don't you teach him some martial arts first and let him try them out, what if he changes his mind?

Even if it doesn’t work out in the end, you won’t suffer much loss.”

Qin Daniu thought this was the truth, as his second master Yan Chixia did the same thing. After he became a master, he bowed to the tablet and worshipped his master.

Qin Daniu said to Xiao Li: "You don't need to worship me as your master yet. I will teach you a set of martial arts first."

Xiao Li shook his head like a rattle: "No, since I have decided not to take you as my master, I can't take advantage of you."

Qin Daniu nodded and admired this disciple candidate even more, even though Xiao Li was older than him.

Li Zhuoguang advised: "It's not a benefit, just think of it as a gift from him because he appreciates your hard work. If you still insist on not learning, then I will have no choice but to go to the task center to post the task."

Xiao Li looked depressed, but finally agreed.

"Okay, I will teach you the Snake Shadow Fist right now. Although the Phantom Snake Hall was easily destroyed by my master, this boxing style still has some merits.

Your body is in poor condition, so you need to eat more meat before you start practicing."

Li Zhuoguang's face fell, he felt that he was indirectly insulted. You know, the first martial arts he learned was the "Snake Shadow Fist", and he had practiced it for much longer than the "Barbarian Bull Fist".

He shook his head, took one last look at Xiao Li who was being force-fed dried meat by Qin Daniu, then turned and left.

The Hokage election will be held in a few days. After all, the Ninja Alliance will be established soon, and the Kage of each village will hold important positions in the alliance.

If Konoha Village still has two Hokages when the Allied Forces are formed, it would be a joke. So no matter what, the Hokage must be selected before the Allied Forces are formed.

Li Zhuoguang has already made all the necessary preparations. For an election like this, there are only three key points: digging up the opponent's dirt, clearing up one's own past, and expanding the voting base.

Li Zhuoguang clearly noticed that during this period, the legend of the demon fox began to gain popularity again, and no one else would do such a thing except Danzo.

As for Naruto, he really has no other power except for his campaign manager Li Zhuoguang. According to the original plot, he was able to become the Seventh Hokage because he saved the world and because his personal strength after the war had surpassed the First Hokage, reaching an inhuman level. If he doesn't become Hokage, no one dares to be one.

Kakashi was only helping Naruto take over Konoha temporarily because Naruto was a little inexperienced. Otherwise, how could there be a Hokage who abdicated in his prime?

The war has not started yet. Although Naruto has just saved Konoha Village once, he has only washed away his bad reputation as a fox demon.

It's not entirely true that he has a huge advantage. After all, the people who have a good relationship with him are all Konoha's ninjas. But in this election, there is no difference in the effectiveness of the votes in the hands of the jonin and the votes in the hands of the civilians.

The common people only know about him from public opinion, and public opinion is Danzo's strong point.

A few days passed quickly, and soon it was the day of the Hokage election.

The daimyo and his wife of the Land of Fire attended the election meeting as expected.

In order to show their importance, the clan leaders of all the ninja clans in Konoha Village, as well as envoys from other countries, attended the election.

What is even more commendable is that the priestess Shion from the Demon Country and the ruler of the Snow Country, Fuuka Koyuki, were both present to watch the ceremony in person.

The three ninja clans of Ino, Shika and Chou stood together because of their close relationship. Choji was sharing snacks with his father. Ino heard that Sasuke was back and was looking around to see if Sasuke would come to the scene to support Naruto.

Shikamaru stayed obediently beside his father, yawning. Shikaku glanced at Shikamaru and said, "I remember that you had a good relationship with Uzumaki Naruto when you were in school. Why don't you seem nervous?"

Shikamaru waved his hand: "There's nothing to be nervous about. The result is probably already determined." Hearing this, Shikaku lowered his eyes and looked at Shikamaru: "What do you know?"

"The Minister of Finance who is temporarily residing in Konoha, the first thing he did when he arrived in Konoha was to treat Naruto to barbecue."

"Didn't he also invite Shimura to have tea on behalf of the Hokage afterwards?"

"Whether you're asking for the Deputy Hokage or Naruto, I happen to be there."

"what have you found?"

"The Minister of Finance was very relaxed when he was having dinner with Naruto, and his smile was very natural. And the only time he smiled was when he escorted Danzo-sama out of the shrine that day, and that was when the ambassador of the Hidden Cloud Village came to cause trouble."

Shikaku nodded, "It looks like Uzumaki Naruto will be the Hokage."

Shikamaru asked back, "Dad, do you know anything about this?"

Shikaku shook his head: "Shimura-shiro Hokage doesn't trust me. Although I am still an advisor in name, he relies more on the people of the Root. I know one thing, that is, Shimura-shiro Hokage really believes that the Minister of Finance is on his side.

That’s deadly.”

Shikamaru asked in confusion, "Dad, didn't you speak highly of Danzo-sama before?"

Shikaku admitted: "That's true, but when he has the opportunity to get what he desires, he begins to be more inclined to believe in favorable information. So..."

"He is doomed to fail?"

"You must learn to be strong without desire."

Li Zhuoguang and his group, as representatives of the Fire Nation, were also watching the ceremony in the stands, except William.

Although William joined the Hunter's Guild funded by the military, he is still an anarchist at heart. Because of his personal experience, he hates everything related to politics.

So he took the initiative to stay in the inn, saying that he was there to guard the prisoners, but in fact he just wanted to have some free time.

William stayed in the room where the Eagle Squad was imprisoned, using a screwdriver and parts to modify his newly bought hatchet. After all, for hunters in his world, traps and mechanisms were the main means of hunting cannibals.

A head-on confrontation is only a last resort, so the hunters who can survive are often experts who can modify weapons according to their needs, which is the most basic operation.

The door behind William was suddenly pushed open. He stopped what he was doing and grabbed a piece of steel wire at hand.

The person who came was Karin. She thought that Li Zhuoguang and the others had gone to participate in the Hokage election and there would be no one here, but she didn't expect that there was still one left.

She greeted William with a stiff face: "Uncle William, hello."

"Hello to you too, red-haired kid. You came here in such a hurry, aren't you here to help the prisoner escape?"

Karin swallowed her saliva: "How...how could it be?"

William didn't comment, but just pointed to the noisy crowd outside: "Do you know what's going on outside?"

Karin nodded, "It's the election of the Hokage."

"Uzumaki Naruto, even if he's your cousin, how does he treat you?"

Karin's expression froze for a moment: "Very good."

"He is out there trying to get what he has always dreamed of. If you, as a fellow clan member he brought back to Konoha, release the felon at this juncture, what do you think he will do?"

"This...I..."

"Why would you hurt your loved ones who care about you for someone who sees you as a tool?"

Karin glanced at Sasuke and said decisively: "I like him."

"Oh, then ask him if he likes you?"
