Supporters on both sides know they cannot easily switch sides; they have no choice but to stick to their current path.

Unless the side they support completely loses power.

The situation on the field returned to the previous pattern, with supporters from both sides arguing back and forth.

But among all these people, not one of them mentioned the recent hot candidate for Hokage, Uchiha Fugaku, as discussed by the villagers.

One reason is that the Uchiha clan did not have a good relationship with other ninja clans in the village.

Another point is that Uchiha Tonan, as a member of the Uchiha clan, already holds a high position.

If Fugaku Uchiha were to become Hokage, then the other ninja clans of Konoha could almost be considered subordinate clans of the Uchiha clan.

This is an outcome no one wants to see.

Sitting to the side, Fugaku Uchiha opened his mouth, wanting to recommend himself, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

Few of the people present knew him well, and it seemed that none of them intended to recommend him.

At that moment, Fugaku Uchiha realized that all his previous efforts to promote himself among the villagers had been completely useless.

Because none of the people eligible to vote were villagers.

Thinking of this, Fugaku Uchiha clenched his fists secretly and looked up at Tonan Uchiha.

He pinned his hopes on Uchiha Tonan not forgetting what he had said: that he would support him as long as he wanted to fight.

Moreover, judging from the moment Uchiha Tonan spoke up to dismiss Sarutobi Hiruzen, he was followed by a group of followers.

If Uchiha Tonan were to support him, he would have a fighting chance.

After a long while, the conference room became noisy.

The Sarutobi lineage supported Minato Namikaze, while the Danzo lineage naturally supported Danzo.

The two sides argued back and forth, but their positions were evenly matched.

Danzo saw that Minato Namikaze had so many supporters.

Suddenly, he thought of the relationship between Minato Namikaze and Tonan Uchiha, and his eyes turned slightly cold.

It's unlikely that anything will go wrong and that this blond kid will get the better of it.

Just then, Uchiha Tonan, who had been silent all along, spoke softly: "I think Lord Fugaku is very suitable to be the Fourth Hokage."

Everyone was slightly taken aback, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Strangely, this time no one echoed Uchiha Tonan's opinion.

The essence of power is always to develop towards the monopoly of relationships.

Konoha is a collection of various forces, and no matter how they compete, the final result will inevitably be the dispersion of power.

This is in everyone's best interest.

The reason why those people supported Uchiha Tonan's opinion before was because Uchiha Tonan did not affect their interests.

Seeing the atmosphere getting a bit awkward, Naraku, sitting at the head of the table, lazily waved his folding fan and said:

"Since you all disagree, let's vote."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped arguing and acquiesced to this fair solution.

Naraku closed his fan, pointed it at Fugaku Uchiha, and said loudly:

"Raise your hand if you support Uchiha Fugaku."

The entire room fell silent, except for Uchiha Tonan, who raised his hand.

Seeing this, some of the higher-ups on the field looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a hint of mockery in their eyes.

It seems to be mocking Uchiha Fugaku for overestimating his abilities.

A few breaths later, Naraku announced the result expressionlessly: "One vote."

Fugaku Uchiha forced a smile and looked at the crowd, saying:

"Actually, I never intended to become the Fourth Hokage."

I'm having trouble managing such a large Uchiha clan.

I just didn't expect Tu Nan to mention my name; please excuse the embarrassment.

Naraku then pointed in Danzo's direction with his fan and said leisurely:

"Raise your hand if you support Danzo."

As soon as he finished speaking, the supporters of Danzo's faction in the room raised their hands.

However, the number is only about one-third.

After a long while, Naraku looked at Danzo with a half-smile and said:

"It seems to be less than half, Danzo, why don't you count them specifically?"

Danzo's expression was slightly gloomy. He looked up at Uchiha Tonan, who sat calmly in his wheelchair, and forced a stiff smile, saying:

"Tunan, now it's just me and Minato running for Hokage, you can vote again."

Uchiha Tonan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded in sudden understanding and said:

"I see, I understand."

After saying that, he continued to sit still.

This action immediately made Danzo's heart skip a beat.

But in this situation, it's not appropriate to make a scene.

Seeing this, Naraku chuckled twice, his words carrying a meaningful meaning:

"It seems like no one's here anymore."

"Then raise your hand if you support Minato Namikaze."

Supporters of the Sarutobi lineage raised their hands.

Uchiha Tonan, in his wheelchair, slowly raised his hand.

The next moment, those wavering fence-sitters seemed to hear the horn of victory, and one by one they raised their hands high.

He was afraid that Minato Namikaze wouldn't see him.

The next Hokage has been decided.

"Oh!"

Danzo slammed his fist on the table, jumped to his feet, glared at Uchiha Tonan, and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Uchiha Tonan, what do you mean?"

Everyone was surprised that Danzo was so uncouth, throwing a tantrum on the spot after failing.

However, some people know part of the inside story and are taking a wait-and-see attitude.

Uchiha Tunan raised an eyebrow, spread his hands innocently, and said:

"Lord Danzo, now it's time for everyone to choose the person they think is most suitable to be the Fourth Hokage."

Is there a problem with me casting my vote?

Danzo was stunned by what he heard, then his body began to tremble and he let out a chilling laugh.

"Hehe... Hahaha... You're very good... You really are very good..."

The next moment, Danzo suddenly used the Body Flicker Technique and appeared in front of Uchiha Tonan.

He bent forward, his hands gripping the armrests of Uchiha Tonan's wheelchair, his face almost touching Uchiha Tonan's, and said fiercely:

"Don't play dumb! You promised me!"

Minato Namikaze, worried that Danzo might attack Uchiha Tonan, instinctively stood up.

But he was held down by Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was standing next to him.

"Don't worry, he won't dare to make a move."

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi said this, he secretly wished that Danzo would kill Uchiha Tonan with lightning speed.

Of course, it's also possible that he was killed by Uchiha Tonan.

But in the current situation, whoever dies will only benefit themselves and will not cause them any harm.

Naraku, who was at the head of the table, had already unfolded his folding fan to cover the lower half of his face, and his eyes were slightly narrowed.

What a pity... Danzo, that old guy, was quite to my liking.

Why did I have to mess with this guy?

I estimate he won't live much longer.

Everyone on the field now focused their attention on the two of them.

From Danzo's words, everyone guessed that they must have some unspeakable secrets.

Otherwise, Danzo wouldn't have lost his composure like that.

But Uchiha Tonan remained unmoved by Danzo's accusations, instead a strange smile appeared on his lips as he calmly said:

"I've changed my mind."

"you........"

Danzo was taken aback upon hearing this, but then his anger surged, and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill Uchiha Tonan immediately.

Uchiha Tonan sat steadily in his wheelchair, seemingly waiting for Danzo to make his move.

After a long while, Uchiha Tonan grew somewhat impatient.

Gently raise your hand and place it on Danzo's chest, pushing him away.

In that brief moment, Danzo had countless urges to attack, but he restrained himself each time.

When he came to his senses, he found that he had been pushed aside by Uchiha Tonan.

I felt incredibly frustrated.

Old man, even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn't be able to do it.
