Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 514 I also support Mr. Fugaku

Tsunade's words left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

However, no one spoke up immediately.

In the mezzanine, Li Yao, who had interrupted his search for the dog, stood beside Tsunade with the Third Hokage, looking down at the crowd with their various expressions.

Li Yao's lips curled up slightly as he asked, "Who do you think will be the Fourth Hokage?"

The Third Hokage paused for a moment, then asked in return, "Who do you want to become the Fourth Hokage?"

Li Yao chuckled and said, "Who do you least want to become the Fourth Hokage?"

The Third Hokage instinctively looked at Fugaku Uchiha, then froze and fell completely silent.

He knew that the Fourth Hokage was indeed Fugaku Uchiha.

Li Yao's genjutsu might not be able to affect Uchiha Fugaku, who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, but it would be easy for him to influence others.

The Uchiha clan has long coveted the Hokage position, so it goes without saying that they will definitely step forward to compete for it.

At that time, Tsunade, Konoha's White Fang, Orochimaru, and other ninja clans all stood up to express their support.

Fugaku Uchiha had no choice but to become the Fourth Hokage.

Once Fugaku Uchiha becomes the Fourth Hokage, given what he did to the Uchiha clan in the past, the Uchiha clan will obviously not let the Sarutobi clan get away with it.

"This guy, he still doesn't want the Sarutobi clan to have an easy time!"

The Third Generation glanced at Li Yao, a slight thought stirring within him, but he remained silent.

As long as Li Yao doesn't personally intervene, the Uchiha clan's targeting will cause some casualties to the Sarutobi clan, but at least they won't be wiped out.

He also believed that, given the wisdom of the Sarutobi clan, they would not allow the Uchiha clan's targeting to go too smoothly.

Furthermore, through years of subtle influence in Konoha, most villagers have developed a stereotype of the Uchiha clan's arrogance and conceit. If the Uchiha clan goes too far, they will face repercussions.

Li Yao can use illusions to influence the high-ranking members of various races, but he cannot influence everyone.

Thinking about these things, the three generations felt much more at ease.

The plot then unfolded exactly as predicted by the third generation.

"I propose that Fugaku Uchiha become the Fourth Hokage." Just as everyone was getting excited, Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, spoke up first.

His suggestion surprised everyone.

Everyone thought that Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, would suggest Orochimaru.

After all, Orochimaru was one of the Legendary Sannin, and he had fought alongside the Lightning Release clone, White Fang. More importantly, he was from the same school as Tsunade.

As it turned out, the person who suggested the Lightning Release clone, White Fang, was Uchiha Fugaku, with whom he had little interaction.

Everyone was surprised and puzzled.

Li Yao's Lightning Release clone, White Fang, said calmly, "I am not familiar with Clan Chief Fugaku, but as a member of the Uchiha clan who co-founded Konoha with the Senju clan, and given Tsunade's decision to relinquish the Hokage position, I believe that Clan Chief Fugaku, who comes from the Uchiha clan, is fully qualified to be the Fourth Hokage and has the ability to lead Konoha to greatness."

Faced with the praise from Lightning Release clone - White Fang, Fire Release clone - Fugaku smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for the recommendation, Sagumo-kun. I am also willing to lead everyone to work together for the strength of Konoha."

With the words "Fire Release Clone - Fugaku," it was essentially a declaration that he was going to participate in the internal election for the Fourth Hokage.

If the other clan leaders do not object, it is even though most of them do not want the Uchiha clan to produce a Hokage.

However, after Konoha's White Fang, representing Tsunade's side, proposed that Uchiha Fugaku be the Fourth Hokage, they became somewhat afraid.

He feared that if Fugaku Uchiha still ascended to the position of Fourth Hokage despite the opposition, he would suffer the consequences of being treated unfairly.

After all, the Uchiha clan was the strongest in Konoha. If Fugaku Uchiha became Hokage, that would be terrible.

They dared not offend them.

Everyone looked at Orochimaru and Hiashi Hyuga; they were the only two here who could compete with Fugaku Uchiha for the position of Fourth Hokage.

Although Minato Namikaze is also very powerful and has a good reputation in the village, he is still far inferior to these two.

Seeing this, Li Yao understood the situation perfectly.

In the original story, without the support of the Third Hokage, it would have been impossible for Minato to seize the Hokage position from Orochimaru.

Hiashi Hyuga frowned slightly, glancing at Fugaku Uchiha, his Lightning Release clone White Fang, and Tsunade, unable to discern whether there was any transaction between the three.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Konoha's White Fang supporting Uchiha Fugaku is essentially the same as Tsunade supporting Uchiha Fugaku.

Thinking of this, Hiashi Hyuga lowered his gaze and fell silent.

Although Tsunade was the only member of the Senju clan, the Senju clan's influence remained. After Tsunade personally sent the Third Hokage to his death, the Ino-Shika-Cho clan and other ninja clans that had originally sided with Sarutobi because of the Senju clan also distanced themselves from the Sarutobi clan and sided with Tsunade.

So Tsunade's opinion is very important in this internal election. If she doesn't make a suggestion, that's fine, but once she shows a preference for someone to be Hokage, that person is basically the one.

Now, Konoha's White Fang, representing Tsunade, is proposing to Uchiha Fugaku.

Heh... Hiashi Hyuga shook his head and chuckled to himself.

With the Uchiha and Senju clans joining forces, who can oppose them, and who dares to oppose them?

Hiashi Hyuga's silence, in the eyes of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan leaders, undoubtedly meant that he was giving up the fight for the Fourth Hokage and was not against Fugaku Uchiha becoming the Fourth Hokage.

So they turned their attention to Orochimaru.

If Orochimaru doesn't object, then the Fourth Hokage will be Fugaku Uchiha from the Uchiha clan.

"It's up to you, Lord Orochimaru! You absolutely have to step forward!"

The new head of the Sarutobi clan stared nervously at Orochimaru.

Everyone present, while displeased with Fugaku Uchiha becoming Hokage, could accept it nonetheless.

Only the Sarutobi clan could not accept it.

Anyone can be the Fourth Hokage, except for someone from the Uchiha clan.

Not only did the third generation understand, but the new head of the Sarutobi clan also understood.

If Fugaku Uchiha really becomes Hokage, then the things that the previous three Hokage did to the Uchiha clan will turn around and happen to the Sarutobi clan.

When that time comes, the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan will be the ones who mysteriously disappear while on missions.

Therefore, Fugaku Uchiha must never be allowed to become Hokage.

Unfortunately, after the incident involving the Third Hokage, and with Tsunade leading the way, no other ninja clan in Konoha dared to get close to them anymore.

The new head of the Sarutobi clan now only hopes that Orochimaru will step forward.

As a disciple of the Third Hokage, Orochimaru's ascension to the Hokage position would best serve the interests of the Sarutobi clan.

At this moment, they were under the gaze of everyone.

Orochimaru was also pondering this. He actually had his own ideas about the Hokage position, not because he liked power or anything like that.

Once he became Hokage, he gained control over finances and development, allowing him to openly conduct research on forbidden ninjutsu techniques he desired.

However, Orochimaru was very concerned when Sakumo-kun suddenly suggested that Fugaku Uchiha become Hokage.

While others may not know or haven't thought about it carefully, Orochimaru is very clear about the fact that Sagumo-kun and Uchiha Fugaku disappeared and reappeared at almost the same time.

There must be some connection between the two that he is unaware of.

These two, together with Tsunade,

There is no place for him in Konoha anymore.

With that thought in mind, and facing everyone's gaze, Orochimaru said calmly, "I also support Fugaku-kun becoming the Fourth Hokage."
