Uchiha Tetsuka waved his hand and went to talk to others about it.

The final time was set for this evening at Konoha's BBQ restaurant, Q.

Kiyoshi readily agreed and followed Mikoto back to the Uchiha settlement, shoulder to shoulder.

When Nohara Rin came out, she wanted to talk to Kiyoshi, but after taking a few steps, she heard Tetsuka talking about a class reunion, so she agreed to go too.

Anyway, I'll be able to see Kiyoshi tonight.

After that, Kiyoshi will probably be busy dealing with the Hokage's political affairs, and thus won't have as much time.

The thought of having even less time with Kiyoshi made Nohara Rin feel suffocated.

She clutched her chest and walked alone toward her newly purchased house.

Around the Hokage Building, discussions continued to rise and fall, creating quite a lively atmosphere.

Today's results will spread very quickly.

By the next day, everyone in Konoha would probably know that Kiyoshi would be the next Hokage.

Beneath the turbulent waters, things began to calm down after the selection of the acting Hokage.

But everyone knows that it all depends on whether Si will make a big splash as a new official.

"Captain Fugaku actually made Kiyoshi the Hokage."

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha looked on with a sigh.

Did the Uchiha clan actually produce a Hokage?

Unfortunately, the Hokage in this election was not Fugaku, whom he admired.

He was a young kid.

He still remembered how thin and weak Kiyoshi was when he arrived in Konoha.

In the blink of an eye, he had become a high-ranking member of Konoha.

It is also the symbol of honor of the Uchiha clan.

In the future, discrimination against the Uchiha clan will definitely decrease significantly.

"Kiyoshi is an all-around genius, so it's no surprise that he became Hokage."

Fugaku shook his head.

His strengths and weaknesses are both very obvious; he is skilled in using "Fire" Release and "Yin" Release ninjutsu.

However, Qing Si did not adhere to this principle.

Although he uses the "Lightning" technique most often, he is also quite proficient in the other six elements.

He also possesses a bloodline limit that he does not have.

"Captain Fugaku, does that mean the Uchiha clan can control everything in Konoha?"

Uchiha Hachimoku suddenly thought of something.

The police department is under the jurisdiction of the Uchiha clan, and the prison system also has Uchiha personnel.

Now that Kiyoshi has become the acting Hokage, more Uchiha ninjas will join the Anbu in the future.

From this perspective, it's clear that Konoha was gradually being infiltrated by the Uchiha clan in every aspect.

"No, we need to be even more careful in the future."

Fugaku's expression was serious.

He knew his clansmen's character very well.

The discrimination faced by the Uchiha clan was partly due to the instigation of Konoha's higher-ups, but also stemmed from historical issues.

They are also inseparable from arrogance, aloofness, and prejudice... These are characteristics that most people in the tribe actually possess, so it's normal that they are not well-liked.

What goes up must come down. These glories will breed arrogance among the clan members, and may even cause other ninja clans to unite against the Uchiha.

He was able to become the clan leader because he had a visionary perspective.

However, this overly far-sighted vision can lead him to consider all sorts of worst-case scenarios even before he takes any action.

It makes him look very cowardly, and his past attempts to stage a coup against Konoha but not doing so are not pure.

"Alright, let's go back first. We can talk about it when the meeting starts."

After saying this, Fugaku hurried forward.

Seeing Kiyoshi become Hokage with his own eyes, Fugaku couldn't help but feel a little envious.

He just wanted to be alone.

The crimson kaleidoscope patterns were faintly visible, and Fugaku was afraid of exposing his kaleidoscopes to the outside world.

Although there's no need to hide it anymore, the timing of its activation is wrong.

Doesn't this prove that he was hiding his strength and refusing to help those in need?

Or it could be a rumor that he was jealous of Kiyoshi, which led to the creation of the Kaleidoscope, or some other inexplicable rumor.

Slander from others is a sharp sword.

Experiencing firsthand the terrifying Fugaku firsthand allows one to understand some of the feelings that Sakumo Hatake had at the time.

"it is good."

Uchiha Hachimoku passed by a blond-haired ninja and caught up with Uchiha Fugaku.

The blond-haired ninja was none other than Minato Namikaze.

Seeing that he was almost hit, he voluntarily moved aside.

"Kushina, I'm here."

Minato Namikaze waved his hand; he had more important things to do and more important people to see.

Kushina, standing in the crowd ahead, clutched the emerald green magatama necklace on her chest, searching for Kiyoshi's figure.

"Kushina?"

Minato Namikaze walked over on his own initiative.

"It's the Water Gate."

Kushina turned her head and looked at Minato Namikaze, who had a smile on his face.

"I never expected that His Highness would choose Kiyoshi in the end."

Namikaze water gate.

His expression was somewhat complicated.

While Hiruzen Sarutobi left Kiyoshi to explain some matters, he went out with the others.

Some ninjas patted him on the shoulder and said that Kiyoshi's victory was unfair, that he had used bribery.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru, who was some distance away, said:

“Minato’s little achievements are publicized, while the Uchiha clan has unknown achievements that have been kept secret.”

Upon hearing this, the ninja who patted his shoulder retorted sharply.

Without saying anything more, he slunk away.

They assumed Orochimaru had given up after failing to become Hokage.

Minato Namikaze felt somewhat guilty.

He could indeed sense that his village had such prestige, which was inseparable from the support of three generations.

Kiyoshi, however, earned the recognition of others through his own efforts.

The gift was just an extra; Minato Namikaze didn't think that someone as noble as the Daimyo of the Land of Fire needed any bribes.

Konoha needs funding from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to boost its economy; such a place would never lack precious items.

At least Minato Namikaze couldn't figure it out.

"Don't be sad, Minato. I believe that even if you don't make it this year, there will be another year. You're still young."

Kushina comforted her.

Becoming Hokage was always Minato Namikaze's dream, and he put in a lot of effort to achieve it.

It must be very upsetting that I didn't get the position.

"I know."

Minato Namikaze nodded.

He is not the kind of person who wallows in pain.

If it doesn't work this time, then we'll try next time.

"Let's go, Kushina."

Minato Namikaze made an inviting gesture.

He planned to take Kushina out for a stroll.

"Hmm... Ah... Where is Kiyoshi?"

Kushina stammered.

"Kiyoshi, it seems he just went back with Mikoto."

Minato Namikaze pointed in a direction.

There are so many people here, it's so crowded that it's easy to get separated if you just turn around.

"Ok."

Kushina was somewhat disappointed.

She exchanged pleasantries with Minato Namikaze for a while, but ultimately declined his offer.

The reason given was to control the power of the Nine-Tails.

There were too many people here, and Kushina was afraid that if something really happened, it would be terrible.

Although Kiyoshi helped suppress the Nine-Tails, Kushina didn't dare to gamble.

"Ok."

Minato Namikaze watched Kushina's departing figure and sighed softly.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived at Mount Myōboku.

"I've come to hone my immortal skills, now that I'm in a position to become a sage."

The Minato Namikaze gate opens into the depths.

"Celestial arts" are not his area of ​​expertise; in other words, they are his weakness.

The best way to quickly become stronger is to make up for your weaknesses.

…………

"Hiruzen, aren't you afraid of raising a tiger that will eventually turn on you?"

Xiaochun turned to her room.

What the Uchiha clan can think of, these ninjas who specialize in politics can also think of.

Nobody's a fool; anyone who is would have died on the mission.

"That's right. Power must be checked and balanced to prevent it from becoming a dictatorship of the Uchiha clan."

Mitokado nodded in approval.

In front of the two old men was the back of Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was smoking with his head down.

"call……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of white smoke and slowly said:

"Isn't there still a gap at the base? Let Shuimen fill it."
