Naruto: I am invincible in the ninja world with full favorability

Most Uchiha ninjas pursue efficiency and generally don't talk nonsense.

This is true whether you are doing a task or attending a meeting.

Fugaku quickly brought up the topic:

"According to the information sent by the Eighth Hokage, after the Third Shinobi World War, the village is no longer satisfied with the Hokage, and the Sandaime is also planning to abdicate."

"Hokage's disciple Jiraiya recommended Minato Namikaze to be the Hokage, but Hokage supports Orochimaru more in his heart."

"According to the rules set by Hashirama-sama and Tobirama Senju, the election of Hokage must be voted on by the Jonin Council, chosen by public opinion, and finally appointed by the Daimyo."

"But the reality is that the first step will determine the Hokage, which is the jonin vote."

"We Uchiha are the largest clan in Konoha, and the current jonin account for about one twentieth of the total number."

"This is a force that can influence the final outcome. Both Orochimaru and Minato cannot be ignored."

"Tonight's meeting will discuss who the Jonin Council will vote for."

When Fugaku finished speaking, the third elder was the first to stand up and said:

"Of course it's Orochimaru! No matter his achievements or strength, he is recognized by the villagers!"

"And Orochimaru is above Minato Namikaze in seniority!"

The second elder agreed immediately:

"That's right. Orochimaru's performance in the Second and Third World Wars is obvious to all, and the Hokage also likes Orochimaru."

"Even the head of the Nara clan recognizes Orochimaru more."

The Ino-Shika-Cho clan represented by the Nara clan leader has always belonged to the Hokage faction. The fact that the Nara clan leader supports Orochimaru has already explained the Sandaime's inner thoughts.

The tribesmen in the basement echoed.

They also highly recognized Orochimaru's strength and achievements.

Fugaku, who originally wanted to support Minato, didn't know whether he should speak up at this time.

Until he saw Haneda's encouraging eyes, he gritted his teeth and said:

"I think Minato is pretty good."

The moment Fugaku opened his mouth, the originally noisy meeting room suddenly became quiet.

Fugaku gritted his teeth and explained:

"There are already many people in the village who support Orochimaru, and Uchiha's support is just the icing on the cake."

"But Minato is different. The only ones who openly support him are Jiraiya, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina, and a handful of jonin."

"The support from Uchiha is a timely help right now."

"Moreover, the support of Uchiha will lead some ninjas who were originally neutral, or who supported Minato in their hearts but were forced to support Minato due to the situation."

"This way, Minato will have enough capital to compete with Orochimaru."

The first elder glanced at the second elder, who immediately asked:

"Since Orochimaru has a much higher chance of becoming Hokage than Minato Namikaze, why should we take the risk and support him?"

"Master Patriarch?!"

What Fugaku just said was naturally what Haneda had instructed him to say. Haneda had also prepared an excuse for the elders' difficulties.

Fugaku said as he recited:

"To gamble on the next generation, for a better future for the Uchiha!"

"Orochimaru has too many supporters. The support of the Uchiha is insignificant in his eyes and cannot bring much benefit to the Uchiha. But Minato is different."

"He is very powerful and has made great achievements. He is one of the most outstanding talents of the new generation."

"In everyone's opinion, he is the perfect Fifth Hokage, right?"

When Fugaku finished speaking, some of the clan members who had originally supported Fugaku echoed him.

Even the neutral clan members began to support Fugaku.

There is no other reason, what Fugaku (Haneda) said is very right.

Supporting Orochimaru is just insignificant in Orochimaru's eyes.

But the next generation of Watergate was different.

Now Uchiha’s team belongs to angel investment and original shares!

This is a bet that is almost certain to pay off hugely!

Seeing this, the Great Elder had to step down.

He was unwilling to let Fugaku gain the support of his clan members, as this would threaten his interests.

"The fifth Hokage? Orochimaru is only in his thirties now, so he will be the Hokage for at least ten years, right?"

"At this time, if Orochimaru dislikes Uchiha because of the election and targets us, what should we do?"

"Just like the Nidaime."

"In ten years, what will become of the Uchiha? How weakened will they be?"

"Master Patriarch, can you promise?"

After saying this, Fugaku had no excuse to refute.

He had heard a lot from his father about Senju Tobirama's targeting of Uchiha.

Naturally, it is clear how much weight the Second Hokage holds in Uchiha's heart.

Even the previously neutral tribesmen fell silent at this point, not knowing who to support for a moment.

And just at this moment, Haneda stood up.

He immediately attracted the attention of the whole audience.

Haneda laughed and said, "It's very simple. I'll guarantee it, right?"

After saying this, his aura was no longer hidden and was revealed.

Mangekyō Sharingan!

In an instant, all Uchiha were shocked.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, Haneda used his Mangekyō Sharingan to scan the basement.

"I, Uchiha Haneda, hereby announce!"

"I agree with what Brother Fugaku said. I support Minato-senpai in the Hokage election!"

"Now, who is for it and who is against it?"

…………

Chapter 171 The United Uchiha

When Haneda finished speaking, the ancestral hall fell into silence.

The many Uchiha clan members in the basement looked at Haneda with surprise, excitement, or complexity.

The elders were also silent. The chief elder stared at the Mangekyō Sharingan and recalled the powerful men who had appeared in the Uchiha in the past.

Anyone who possesses these eyes will become a powerful figure in the ninja world in the future.

Madara, Izuna, Chiri...

The Great Elder sighed silently in his heart. The Uchiha clan leader who had the support of Haneda must be respected no matter what his abilities were.

He stood up and said:

"Let's follow what Master Haneda, the clan leader, says."

After the Great Elder finished speaking, everyone realized that the Great Elder tacitly acknowledged that Haneda's status was above his.

The clan leader who has the support of Haneda must be the clan leader with real power.

No one can disobey!

The second elder, the third elder and others agreed one after another and began to praise Fugaku's resourcefulness and foresight.

In his words, he always expressed his respect for Haneda and the clan leader.

The discussion about whether to support Orochimaru or Minato has ended, and the Uchiha top brass has already identified the future leader.

That is Fugaku who has the support of Haneda!

After the clan meeting was announced to be over, Haneda and Fugaku left the ancestral hall.

The Great Elder and other elders then left, followed closely by the other Uchiha Jonins.

Fugaku glanced back at the scene before him.

The elders who had previously pretended to obey him but actually disobeyed him have now been completely subdued by Haneda.

As a result, he also gained the respect of many Uchiha clan members.

Fugaku couldn't help but smile and thanked Haneda:

"Thanks to you this time, Haneda."

"They help me write articles and promote me."

Haneda smiled and said:

"Brother Fugaku still has many potential supporters."

"The people left behind by the clan leader are all supporting you."

"Father..." Fugaku remembered the jonins like Yashiro, Inahbi, and Tetsuka, and fell silent.

These people were all trained by their father and were the team left for him.

It is very likely that my father had anticipated what would happen today and had prepared himself for it a long time ago?

Haneda stood silently beside Fugaku and comforted him:

"Uncle clan leader will watch over you in the other world and carry on the Uchiha legacy."
