The latter looked at Sasuke encouragingly, then retreated again.

"very good.

"Now, one vote for Uchiha Sasuke."

On the podium, Shuichi Sakai said with a smile.

"I vote for Uchiha Sasuke too."

In the other row, Hatake Kakashi also raised his right hand.

He spoke out his choice in a calm tone and loudly.

"Then I'll vote for Sasuke too."

On the side, after seeing Kakashi's choice, Might Guy also raised his hand and spoke.

His ideas are simpler than anyone else's.

Since Sasuke said he has no problem, then there should be no problem.

In addition, of course, my own judgment may occasionally be wrong.

But fortunately, Kakashi is not a fool!

(“Hey? You’re pretty popular, kid!

(“Will he be elected directly?”)

In his mind, Jiraiya suppressed his inner nervousness and joked with a smile.

"Uchiha Sasuke, three votes.

"Shimura Danzo, zero votes."

On the podium, Shuichi Sakai continued to read out the voting process in real time.

"I want to vote for Danzo-sama."

In the audience, Hinata Hiashi, who had remained silent until then, finally stood up.

He just raised his right hand and spoke firmly in front of everyone.

Uchiha Sasuke slowly turned his head and looked coldly in the direction of Hinata Hiashi.

At this time, the latter's raised right hand was trembling slightly, but he never put it down.

"Are you sure?"

On the rostrum, Shuichi Sakai acted in a businesslike manner and confirmed it for the second time.

I saw a drop of sweat quietly sliding down Hinata Hiashi's forehead.

But he still did not put down his raised right hand.

Hinata Hiashi looked forward with a scorching gaze and responded in a deep voice:

"determine."

"very good."

Sakai Hide nodded and said:

“Then the vote is now three to one.

"Everyone, continue."

("The second one.")

Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head and counted silently in his mind again.

(“The traitor has already jumped out on his own!”)

In his mind, Jiraiya confirmed all of this with his own eyes.

The excited voice trembled like a leaf in the wind.

Unstable, yet full of repressive power.

"Everyone, I think some things should be put on the table and discussed openly."

At this time, halfway through the voting, Sarutobi Asuma suddenly stood up and said loudly:

“The accusations regarding Uchiha Sasuke are indeed ridiculous at first glance.

“But the doubts raised by Danzo-sama are not completely unreasonable.

“The election of Hokage-sama is definitely not a trivial matter.

“Some things should be made clear before they are said.

“It’s really hard for me to cast my vote.”

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

On the podium, Mizuto Menyan coughed lightly and spoke slowly.

"Then I won't be polite."

On this side, Asuma Sarutobi simply saluted towards the podium.

Then, he turned to face Uchiha Sasuke and asked loudly:

"I won't talk about the rest. As for 'Fire Style: Flame Armor', why did you say you learned it from me?

"Moreover, you clearly misled the Anbu in charge of the interrogation, implying that you and I were colluding with Orochimaru who was preparing to attack Konoha?!"

For such a long time, Asuma Sarutobi was actually unaware of this detail.

But during this period, as the investigation into Uchiha Sasuke's true identity was conducted, the surrounding past events regarding the suspicious point of the "Flame Armor" were also dug out by Danzo.

As the secret letter was distributed everywhere, this detail became one of the evidences that Uchiha Sasuke was a "time traveler".

It spread on a small scale among Konoha's elite ruling circle.

"'Flame Armor' is the secret technique passed down by my Uchiha clan. I told them the truth, but the Anbu at the time didn't believe me. Instead, they insisted on accusing me of collusion with Orochimaru."

On this side, facing the sudden attack from Sarutobi Asuma, Uchiha Sasuke seemed calm.

He looked directly into the other person's eyes and asked calmly:

"At that time, I was just an ordinary Genin. I didn't have a father who was the Hokage. If you were me, what would you do?"

Faced with this rhetorical question, Sarutobi Asuma was stunned and suddenly didn't know how to answer.

On the other side, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly raised his voice, took another step towards the other party, and asked loudly:

"Or is it that, as the son of the Hokage, you simply cannot understand the real plight of a helpless low-level ninja?!"

Faced with Uchiha Sasuke's sudden burst of momentum, the elite jonin Sarutobi Asuma was shocked and couldn't help but take half a step back.

Soon, realizing that he had lost his composure, he stopped and calmed down.

He just nodded slowly at Uchiha Sasuke.

Then, he turned to face the podium, raised his right hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Then here's my vote.

"Vote for Shimura Danzo."

"!"

As soon as these words were spoken, ripples appeared in everyone's hearts.

Kurenai Yuhi, who had been standing next to Asuma, couldn't help but look sideways.

An uneasy look suddenly appeared on that delicate face which had originally seemed calm.

Then, Asuma turned to Uchiha Sasuke and explained:

“Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing personal here.

"But your answer still can't convince me for the time being."

This defense was not only addressed to Sasuke, but also an explanation to his comrades present.

Asuma Sarutobi said this, he turned to the ninjas and said loudly:

"If the 'Flame Armor' is really the secret technique of the Uchiha clan, why has it never been used by an Uchiha before?

"Although my father is not the strongest Hokage in history, in terms of experience, he is definitely the best in the ninja world.

"If this ninjutsu is something he has never seen before, then what else could it be except a brand new ninjutsu that has just been developed?"

"Are you sure you want to keep going here, Asuma?"

On the side, Uchiha Sasuke said coldly:

"The only thing I want to say is that you worship your father too much.

"In this matter, your arrogance is exactly the same as that of the Third Hokage."

"you"

On this side, Asuma Sarutobi, whose father was "humiliated" in front of others for the first time, suddenly changed his expression.

His face turned red, his eyes were glaring, and he was about to say something.

At the side, Nara Shikamaru, who had quietly come to Asuma's side, grabbed the man's sleeve in time and whispered:

"Asuma-sensei, forget it."

Everyone actually knows it.

Regarding this matter, under the current situation, there is no point in openly arguing about it.

Just as Uchiha Sasuke said to Might Guy before.

No one in this room is a fool (except, of course, maybe Mr. Might Guy).

Everyone can see the controversy over Uchiha Sasuke's identity very clearly.

There are definitely doubts.

But there is absolutely no evidence.

If you say that there is no problem at all with Uchiha Sasuke, then there are indeed some doubts that are difficult to explain.
