Konoha: Uchiha Shisui's Advisor Alliance

Chapter 160 Mitomon En's Decision

Some people were not surprised by Danzo's arrival. After all, this Jonin meeting was related to the selection of Hokage, and with Danzo's personality, how could he not come?

The other part is a little curious.

"How come Danzo is still alive?"

Having not heard from the other side for so long, many people thought that Danzo had been killed by the two advisors or the Uchiha.

The other party suddenly arrived in the middle of the meeting, which made some people extremely disappointed.

However, most people's attention was still focused on the wealthy old man next to Danzo.

"The daimyo's messenger, why would someone from the daimyo come here suddenly? And he's with Danzo, could it be that Danzo convinced the daimyo?"

Since the Third Generation, the Daimyo's influence in Konoha has been increasing, and his attitude will naturally have some impact on the selection of Hokage.

However, after all, the Third Hokage and the Daimyo have been partners for so many years, and their relationship is still relatively peaceful. The Daimyo has not interfered too much in Konoha's affairs, especially in the selection of Hokage, and has always obeyed the will of the Third Hokage and Konoha.

But now they suddenly sent an envoy to speak for Danzo, which surprised everyone and made them feel a little repulsive.

Nara Suzaku curled his lips. He knew that Danzo must have had no good intentions in hiding.

The two advisors' faces were not very good either. As advisors to the Hokage, they certainly did not want the Daimyo to interfere in Konoha's affairs.

However, the rejection in Utane Koharu's heart soon disappeared.

Is it Uchiha, or Daimyo and Danzo? It doesn't seem that difficult to choose.

Zhishui and Yan Shifan suddenly realized that they had sent people to surround the Root early on. The other party was able to bring people to the venue safely, which obviously meant that they were definitely not at the Root base.

"Now that Elder Danzo has arrived, let's continue with the voting."

Nara Suzaku didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two sides, so he just let the program continue running.

"Now that the Third Hokage has retired, Konoha is leaderless, and there are constant wars on the border. Konoha is in need of a highly respected person to serve as Hokage."

Danzo didn't say anything, but the daimyo's messenger beside him suddenly spoke.

"The daimyo is very concerned about the selection of the fifth generation, and has ordered me to come with Advisor Danzo. I wonder who else will be elected besides Advisor Danzo?"

Everyone had different expressions when they heard this, and then they all looked at Shisui.

Seeing this, Shisui slowly stood up. The other party represented the daimyo. On paper, the daimyo's status was even higher than the Hokage. As a ninja, he was just a subordinate of the daimyo, so naturally he could not be rude.

"I am the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Shisui, and I am also a candidate for Hokage."

The daimyo's envoy looked at Shisui with some surprise. He didn't expect that the other party was so young, even younger than the Fourth Hokage when he participated in the election.

Danzo also raised his eyebrows. In order to prevent being noticed by Uchiha and the other two, he did not let the people from the Root pass on any message to him while he was away from Konoha.

However, Shisui standing up only made him a little surprised. After all, it was the evil Uchiha clan. It was normal for them to betray the alliance and have evil intentions while he was away and covet the position of Hokage.

Danzo glanced at everyone, but when no one reacted, he realized something was wrong.

"Only one person?"

The daimyo's envoy was also stunned. The Uchiha clan had candidates in every generation, and it was obviously impossible for them to be nominated by the other two advisors. Then who was Danzo's real competitor?

Utatane Koharu realized that the Root base had been surrounded. If Danzo had just returned to the village, he must know nothing about what was happening in the village.

She gestured to the tribesman beside her, and that person quickly stood up and came to Danzo, then whispered in his ear everything that had happened in Konoha Village during this period, adding some exaggeration.

Danzo's brows slowly furrowed and he glanced at Utane Koharu.

Live it!

That was his first reaction.

Then he looked at Shisui and thought to himself: Uchiha is indeed born evil, he acts so despicable, he agreed to form an alliance but he secretly stabbed him in the back.

After confirming that the only candidate for Hokage this time besides Danzo was Shisui, the Daimyo messenger couldn't help but frown and said, "The selection of Hokage concerns the entire Konoha and the future of the Land of Fire. It is better to have a mature and stable person."

Mature and stable.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly remembered that due to Shisui's strength and status, everyone had always ignored his age, but Shisui was only fourteen years old, and would only be fifteen after the New Year.

Even though the Yondaime was already in his twenties when he became Hokage, there were still many people who opposed him. It was only the Yondaime who overruled the majority and expressed that he would guide the Yondaime from behind, and only then did everyone reluctantly agree.

But now that the Third Hokage has retired, Konoha is in crisis and unprecedentedly weak. Is it really appropriate to let such a young man become Hokage and decide the future of Konoha?

The young ruler makes the country suspicious!

Utatane Koharu was overjoyed when she saw this, and even her eyes became much gentler when she looked at the daimyo's envoy.

"Shisui should obey the orders of the Daimyo-sama, but the Hokage election has its own rules, and people's hearts and minds gather and disperse. Shisui cannot interfere, and can only let nature take its course."

Shishui smiled gently and was not angry. He had learned a lot from watching Yan Shifan fighting with the two advisors for so long.

The daimyo's order!
At any time, people will never have exactly the same views on a thing, even if the idea has been around for a long time.

The Konoha ninjas had the same attitude towards the daimyo.

Some conservatives regard the Daimyo as the most prestigious person in the Land of Fire, even more important than the Hokage, and as a ninja of the Land of Fire, one should risk his life to protect the Daimyo.

There are also radicals who treat the daimyo as an ATM. They just need to withdraw money on time, and if they don't obey, they can be replaced.

As for the most representative figure of the radical faction, it is naturally Danzo~
Danzo's eyes changed slightly as he thought of the previous deal with the Daimyo, but considering the current situation, he didn't say much.

Everyone felt unhappy when they heard this. The daimyo's hand was too long. He even wanted to openly influence the Hokage selection. He simply didn't take them seriously.

In particular, the new chief of the Sarutobi clan had long been dissatisfied with the daimyo.

You were unwilling to allocate funds during a proper discussion, but you were in a hurry to send money after someone died, which resulted in them not only losing the young patriarch, but also almost losing three generations.

Although everyone respects the daimyo on the surface, those who can become jonin have all seen the world. Konoha is Konoha. Not to mention the civilian jonin, which ninja clan is willing to let the daimyo come in and get involved?

The daimyo has other ninja forces under his control. Can't they tell who is close to him?

Nara Suzaku saw everything and secretly sighed that Danzo was really missing the point.

Mizuto Menen also glanced at Danzo and shook his head secretly.

Is the Daimyo's attitude important in the selection of Hokage?
Of course it is important. Under the current circumstances, if Shisui does not run for the election, the Daimyo can directly appoint Danzo as the Hokage. Of course, Danzo still needs the consent of the Konoha high-level officials, that is, the three advisors, and then the procedure must be passed after the vote of the Jonin meeting.

Among them, the Jonin Conference is the highest meeting in Konoha, and its importance is self-evident.

Danzo abandoned the jonin and chose the daimyo, so how could he be compared with Shisui who had the support of 40% of Konoha's jonin, and how could he become a real Hokage by passing the jonin conference?
When the daimyo's messenger saw Shisui mention the procedure, he couldn't help but said with a smile: "The daimyo's meaning has been conveyed. At present, it is obvious that Advisor Danzo is more suitable for the position of Hokage. As for Uchiha Shisui, he is too young. Of course, the daimyo still believes in the existence of young heroes. In a few years, Shisui may be comparable to the former Yondaime and lead the future of Konoha, but it is not appropriate now."

After the daimyo's messenger finished speaking, without waiting for anyone else to speak, Danzo waved his hand and said directly: "When I become the Hokage, I will lead Konoha to repel the enemy and stabilize Konoha. Let's just start the voting."

After saying that, he glanced at Shisui, and the two looked at each other. Danzo's eyes were inexplicable, but Shisui understood what the other person meant.

The two had made an agreement before, and as long as Shisui was willing to abide by it now, Danzo could still reward him later.

Shisui couldn't help but smile when he saw this, why is it that whoever Uchiha supports can increase the chances of winning by 20%?
Because the number of Uchiha clan's jonins is close to 20% of Konoha's total jonins, coupled with their influence, this can help the candidates increase their chances of winning by 20%.

And this 100% chance of winning does not just mean an increase of 20% on the original basis, but the total chance of winning of everyone is , and Uchiha accounts for nearly %.

If we only talk about the jonin, with the strength of the Uchiha jonin, the level of danger of the Uchiha is simply terrifying.

However, in front of Konoha's tens of thousands of ninja troops, the Uchiha's size is insignificant.

Not to mention some alternative ninjas. They don't have the title of Jonin, but that doesn't mean they don't have the strength of Jonin. The Uchiha used to be not only isolated, but also internally disunited. This forced the Uchiha to compromise when facing the entire Konoha.

But now it’s different. Including its own ninjas, Uchiha has already gained the support of 40% of Konoha’s senior ninjas.

Even though Shisui only has 40%, that doesn't mean the other party has 60%, because there are unknown numbers of people who are unwilling to participate in their fight.

Some people even disliked Uchiha, but hated Danzo even more, so they simply refused to help either side.

With this thought in mind, Shisui nodded slowly in the face of Danzo's calm but expectant eyes, and then Nara Suzaku announced the start of the voting.

The voting process ended quickly. After taking the data sorted out by several assistants, Nara Suzaku slowly looked up with a strange expression.

Danzo glanced around the room, feeling confident.

Yan Shifan, who knew the truth, raised his lips slightly, and Mizuto Menyan, who guessed the result, also shook his head secretly.

"Announce it."

A deep voice sounded, and Danzo suppressed his excitement, tapped his cane forward and prepared to step forward.

"The votes in favor accounted for 6%, the votes against accounted for 59%, and the rest abstained."

Since some jonin are not in the village, their votes will be represented by people they designate, and those who do not designate will be regarded as abstentions.

Shisui was a candidate and could not vote, so all Uchiha votes were represented by Yan Shifan. Shisui "promised" to vote for Danzo, but unfortunately Yan Shifan did not agree.

It seemed that this result was not satisfactory. Danzo frowned slightly and sighed: "Sixty percent of people agree that it is so-so. I am still a little short of it."

After saying that, he was stunned.

The daimyo envoy standing beside him looked at him in surprise.

"Advisor Danzo, didn't you say that with your prestige in Konoha, you have at least 30% support?"

Facing the playful gazes of so many jonin, the daimyo's envoy felt his scalp tingling and his old face flushed.

Danzo also reacted, his eyes filled with shock, and he stared at Nara Suzaku, becoming very suspicious, and then walked straight up to him.

Nara Suzaku had anticipated this and took out the ballot directly.

"Advisor Danzo, everything is here. If you have any questions, you can look it up."

Danzo's face twitched, then he looked at the other person deeply and stopped what he was doing.

At this moment, he turned sideways to face the group of jonin, feeling everyone's gazes. Even though he was quite shrewd, he couldn't avoid feeling a little embarrassed.

Then he became angry.

He has the support of the daimyo and can bring funds to Konoha. Konoha is in need of money, so how could it be possible that it only has less than 10%? And Uchiha is also here, plus Uchiha's 20%, how could it be possible that
Danzo was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. He cast a cold gaze at Shisui and said word by word, "Did you do it?"

Shisui smiled politely at first, then asked in confusion, "What are you talking about, Advisor Danzo? The future of Konoha lies in the three advisors and the jonin, and I am just a candidate. I cannot vote, so how can I influence everyone's decision privately?"

Yan Shifan only represented the Uchiha's voting rights, and he had not yet informed the people behind him. However, they were not blind and had expected this.

Some people looked at him sideways, but Shisui approved of them in his heart. He still respected them.

As for Danzo, his body was trembling slightly and his eyes were gloomy.

How dare Shisui? Without him, which Hokage would help the Uchiha? Without him, how long can the Uchiha last?

Did he forget the plight of the Uchiha in the past and his help?

Mitokado En remained silent, even Utane Koharu had expected this. Of course, she did not expect Danzo to pass the Jonin Conference, as her real reliance was still behind.

"Although the Jonin Council did not pass it, given Konoha's current situation, it is not appropriate to find someone who is too young to be the Hokage. Why not let Danzo take over as the Hokage temporarily?"

Generation Hokage!
Everyone was shocked and looked at Utane Koharu. The Sandaime's status was actually the Acting Hokage, and he had to take emergency measures. If he was just the Acting Hokage, he would not need the approval of the Jonin Conference.

As long as the daimyo nods and the three advisors agree, Danzo can become the Acting Hokage. As for whether anyone will obey the Acting Hokage's orders, that is another matter.

"That is exactly what the Daimyo meant. Advisor Danzo will temporarily take over the position of Hokage."

The daimyo envoy wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly expressed his opinion.

Danzo frowned, somewhat unwillingly, but there seemed to be no other way at the moment.

"Never mind. Even if I have to bear the title of Acting Hokage and deal with the Uchiha alone, I can still stabilize Konoha, eliminate external enemies, and become a true Hokage."

With this thought in mind, Danzo had no choice but to compromise, and then said: "In this case, I will temporarily take over the position of Hokage, waiting for Hiruzen to recover, or for other candidates to grow up."

Danzo looked at Shisui with cold eyes. As long as he became Hokage, the first one he would eliminate would be Uchiha!

"Hahaha, Advisor Danzo is too impatient."

Yan Shifan laughed loudly, and then continued: "To become the acting Hokage, you need at least three advisors to support you, but now there are only two. Should you also ask the third person if he agrees?"

Danzo was disdainful in his heart. Although the two had betrayed him and he had sent people to assassinate them, he believed that when it came to major issues against the Uchiha, both Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En would support him.

But Utane Koharu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She slowly looked at Mito Kado En and remembered his abnormal behavior today.

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Mizuto Menyan frowned slightly.

"I"
