Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan Chapter 770: Nomination rights

Strictly speaking, the last legal Hokage of Konoha is not the Third Hokage sitting in the conference room at this time, but Danzo who has defected.

Danzo is the acting Hokage who is truly recognized by both the village and the Fire Country daimyo, and is the official and legal successor of the Third Hokage.

Of course, after Danzo secretly held the "Blood Fusion Ceremony", causing thousands of Konoha ninja casualties and defecting, his identity as the acting Hokage was naturally deprived of him by the village.

So in comparison, in Konoha Village right now, the position of Hokage is actually vacant.

The reason why everyone acquiesced in the third generation taking over Danzo's duties as Hokage was simply because after Danzo's defection, the whole village was in panic and urgently needed a strong man with qualifications and prestige to step forward and stabilize people's hearts.

Now Uchiha Fugaku used this as an excuse to demand the formal election of the Fifth Hokage at a high-level meeting. This is irrefutable in legal terms.

After pondering for a moment, the Third Hokage on the throne nodded and said, "Yes, the village should officially elect the Fifth Hokage!"

After sleeping, Koharu's expression changed: "Hiruzhan, how could you..."

The Third Hokage first made a calm gesture to Koharu who was going to bed, and then said to everyone with a calm face: "I temporarily took over as Hokage because of the situation at that time. Now the situation has returned to calm. It's time to elect the Fifth Hokage."

The third generation really did not want to hand over the position of Hokage to the Uchiha clan, but he did not want to break the rules of the village.

Because this set of rules is the guarantee for the continued inheritance of the Hokage line. If he breaks this rule himself, then others can follow suit in the future.

After sleeping, Xiaochun quickly realized this and then fell silent.

As soon as the meeting started, such a hot topic was raised, which caught all the senior executives participating in the meeting off guard. Some people looked surprised, some looked thoughtful, and some had flashing eyes.

For a while, the conference room fell into a brief silence.

The one who broke the silence was Fugaku, the leader of the Uchiha clan. He smiled and said confidently: "As the leader of the Uchiha clan, I announce that Shisui and I will participate in the election of the Fifth Hokage at the same time! ”

As soon as Fugaku finished speaking, many senior officials cast their eyes over him.

When I went to bed, Xiaochun said bluntly: "I'm afraid this is against the rules!"

Konoha has a set of mature rules for electing Hokage, which is to be nominated by the previous Hokage or advisory elders, and then a vote of confidence of all Jonin will be held. The person who passes the Hokage can become the new Hokage.

Except for the first and second generation Hokages who personally created Konoha, the subsequent Hokage, without exception, are all elected through this set of rules.

For example, the third generation is nominated by the second generation.

When running for the Fourth Hokage, the third generation as the former Hokage nominated Namikaze Minato, and Danzo, as the advisory elder, nominated Orochimaru. However, Namikaze Minato defeated Orochimaru in the vote of confidence and successfully ascended the throne. He became the Fourth Hokage.

Later, Danzo became the acting Hokage, and he also removed the third generation through a vote of confidence. As his own advisory elder, he nominated himself and became the Hokage candidate.

It's just that he failed to pass the vote of confidence of all Jonin, so he only became the temporary acting Hokage, not the official Fifth Hokage.

It can be said that it is this set of rules, or more specifically the 'nomination rights' possessed by the previous Hokage and advisory elders, that is the key to the inheritance of the Hokage line.

As long as they keep their nomination rights, the Hokage family can easily control the successor!

Glancing Koharu in the back room coldly, Fugaku said sternly: "I think everyone present must have forgotten that the fourth generation, who was nominated and elected by the third generation, died inexplicably, and during the third generation's term, the village Suffering unprecedented heavy losses, Danzo, who was later nominated by the advisory board of elders, defected as the acting Hokage, making the village a laughing stock in the entire ninja world!"

Listening to Fugaku's cold accusation, Koharu was speechless when he went to bed, and the third generation on the throne also looked gloomy.

The death of the fourth generation can be said to be an accident, but the destruction of the village and the defection of Danzo are indeed unavoidable responsibilities for the Hokage family.

In particular, Danzo's defection as the agent of the Hokage has made it difficult for the Hokage family to talk about it, because there has never been a bizarre incident of a village of shadows defecting in the ninja world, and Konoha is embarrassed in this regard. Lost it at grandma's house.

Unlike the Hokage family who were speechless, the heads of the major families participating in the meeting began to whisper to each other, even the three 'Ino Shika Die' families who had always strongly supported the third generation were no exception.

Because there is some truth in what Fugaku said. The Hokage family has indeed made frequent mistakes in recent years. In the past, there was internal strife between Danzo and the third generation of the Hokage family.

Danzo, who successfully seized the position of Hokage, not only failed to fulfill his obligations as Hokage, but for his own selfish purposes, he secretly held the "Blood Succession Ceremony" without telling everyone, and ignored the lives of Konoha ninjas, causing The Konoha ninja suffered hundreds of casualties, which caused the trust of the major families in the Hokage line to fall to the bottom.

After examining the expressions on the faces of the heads of the major families, the third generation knew that at this time it was no longer possible to suppress the Uchiha clan forcefully, so he could only choose to compromise and said: "If you Uchiha clan insists, I agree. Got it!"

Fugaku immediately said: "We insist that this time Shisui and I will participate in the election of the Fifth Hokage at the same time! Moreover, I propose that this election include a competition. After all, the threat of the Akatsuki organization is close at hand, and we must not Ye needs a powerful Hokage!"

The reason why Fugaku roped in Shisui~IndoMTL.com~ was to further increase the chances of the Uchiha clan being selected, and because it was a formal candidate, Shisui, as a member of the Uchiha, had no reason to refuse.

As for Shinichi, because he once defected, he would never be able to become the Hokage for the rest of his life, so Fugaku did not include him in the running for the Fifth Hokage.

Looking at the confident Fugaku, Hizu was a little moved, but in the end he sighed and said to himself: "What a pity, I wish I had found the giant reincarnationan!"

This time the Hokage family was forced to make a compromise and relax the restrictions on nomination rights. This is actually an opportunity for the Hyuga clan.

It's just that without the help of the giant reincarnation eye, Hizu had no confidence to match the Uchiha clan with the Mangekyo Sharingan, so he could only watch the opportunity slip away with regret.

The other major ninja clans also had thoughts on their minds, but when they thought of facing the Uchiha family's kaleidoscope, the thoughts that had just been alive quickly died out again.

On the main seat, the Third Generation, who had been silently observing everyone's expressions, said at this time: "In the name of the previous Hokage, I nominate Jonin Kakashi to run for the Fifth Hokage!"
