I have a bunch of relatives who want to be Hokage

Chapter Six Nara Shikaku’s Flaws

Nara Shikaku, who served as the tactical commander of the ninja coalition in the original time and space, in Uchiha Shingen's view, is the most likely person to be selected as Hokage's assistant.

His conditions in all aspects are very good.

As a person trained by the Sandaime, he is a standard Hokage.

His age is not much different from Namikaze Minato. When Namikaze Minato was still in the jounin class, he helped Minato make suggestions many times. His ability was fully recognized by Namikaze Minato. As long as he got the most votes, Namikaze Minato would not hesitate at all. , will immediately name him as Hokage's assistant.

Inakacho developed very well during the Sandaime period, and had a relatively harmonious relationship with all the ninja clan, which provided the basis for canvassing votes.

Take the Hyuga clan, which has the largest number of people, as an example. Hinata's pursuit has always been to become a ninja clan trusted by the Hokage, and Nara Shikaku, who has a good relationship with the third generation and the fourth generation, as a middleman will make them feel most at ease and trust their abilities.

Nara Shikaku's opponent in the election will probably be the nominee of the Sarutobi clan, and the Sarutobi clan is also very capable of canvassing votes.

Nara Shikaku will definitely eliminate those uncertain factors first, and the biggest uncertain factor is the votes of civilian jounin.

Civilian jounin has no family constraints, and voting depends entirely on their own ideas. They are the most scattered and can easily become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

At the same time, it is also most likely to be concentrated, such as the people nominated by the Hokage. When civilian ninjas don't know who to vote for, they will vote for whoever the Hokage nominates. If the Hokage doesn't nominate them, they will vote for them casually.

Instead of letting them vote randomly, it is better to let the fourth generation nominate Uchiha and then waste these votes. This is the best way. The remaining votes are games between ninjas. That is an area that everyone is familiar with. In this regard, Nara Shikaku has an advantage.

Uchiha Shingen believed that in order to ensure that the Uchiha clan would not use the power of the police department to win over other ninjas, Nara Shikaku would definitely introduce other candidates to compress the Uchiha's canvassing space.

Those who play tactics don’t have a clean heart.

Although it may not be Nara Shikaku's own idea to run for Hokage's assistant, this is the case for the ninja clan, and personal will must be subordinated to collective interests.

The alliance of the three Ino, Deer, and Butterflies families has fully developed through the Sandaime era. Today, talents have emerged in large numbers, and they have reached a key point from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Not everyone in the Nara clan is afraid of "trouble".

Uchiha Shingen finished speaking his opinion and became silent.

He looked to the side, Uchiha Shisui frowned - he was confused by the question.

The Anbu in the Yondaime era were not as "well-informed" as before.

He probably also had a dark eye on the movements of those people in the Hokage Building.

However, Uchiha Shisui's mental state is much better now than in the original time and space. At least he no longer worries that the confrontation between the family and the Hokage Building will develop into an irreversible situation.

So now he is simply confused.

The tribesmen who asked him gradually realized this, so the way they looked at Uchiha Shisui changed - they became sympathetic.

"Shisui, I think you should stop being an ANBU." Someone said, and this statement was recognized by many people.

"That's right, you don't necessarily know what's going on in the village."

"Shisui, you are not that good. Go back to the police department. The current police department is very good."

After hearing the kind words and advice from his tribe, Uchiha Shisui was confused and couldn't help but feel sad.

He began to wonder if he was really too hot...

Uchiha Shingen couldn't stand it anymore and helped him out.

"Shisui's job is a foreign assignment. This kind of job does not have much contact with senior officials."

"Oh~~"

"As expected of Shingen, he is easy to understand!"

The tribesmen all showed expressions of "I see."

Uchiha Shisui shrugged his head, dejected.

On the stage, Uchiha Fugaku and several elders were silent.

The clan members' discussion gradually became quieter.

Everyone is providing information as much as possible, and everyone already has the answer in their mind.

"Clan leader, please run for office in person!" someone said.

As soon as the first person spoke, everyone started to follow.

"Everyone can choose a representative to speak. You and I can't hear each other clearly." Uchiha Setsuna reminded on the stage.

"Elder, there is no need to go to such trouble." Uchiha Shingen said, "I believe that the majority of the clan members have the same opinion and hope that the clan leader will run for the position of Hokage's assistant."

"Even if it is a failure?" Uchiha Fugaku finally spoke, and he looked at Uchiha Shingen.

Now Uchiha Shingen has essentially become the representative of the Uchiha clan outside. This can be seen from the fact that the clan members became silent as soon as he opened his mouth.

Not only because of strength, Uchiha Shisui is also very strong, but he does not have the appeal of Uchiha Shingen.

In the final analysis, as the situation of the Uchiha clan gradually improved, Uchiha Shingen's figure has always been there.

Invisibly, the tribesmen now have a full sense of trust in him.

"Even if we fail, it's not a bad thing." Uchiha Shingen turned around and faced all the clan members. "The purpose of the campaign is to make a voice. In this process, we will have the opportunity to contact many people and establish deeper connections with them. , with this opportunity, we can use greater efforts to change other people's stereotypes of Uchiha."

"Things may not go as smoothly as you think, Shingen." Uchiha Fugaku said, "The opponent is Nara Shikaku."

"Clan leader, I won't talk about Nara Shikaku's personal thoughts, but I am sure of one thing." Uchiha Shingen smiled, "He also has flaws, and these flaws are very serious."

"What flaw?"

"Strength." Uchiha Shingen said word by word, "The Hokage assistant is also a 'shadow' and has strict requirements on personal strength. This is Nara Shikaku's flaw. He does not correspond to the 'shadow' level. of hard power.”

"The Hokage rarely has the opportunity to fight in person." Uchiha Fugaku said with a smile, "Your reason may not be valid. Nara Shikaku can become the squad leader of the Jonin class, and his strength is not weak."

"But clan leader, you are stronger." Uchiha Shingen pointed to his eyes, "I gained a little bit from my trip this time. clan leader, I can feel that your eye power is the same as Shisui's, it is also the Mangekyo Sharingan. When the gap in strength reaches a certain level, all the advantages Nara Shikaku possesses now will become a drag."

He turned around and faced everyone again and said loudly: "With two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, the Uchiha clan has opened up the power of the police department. Even if they fail in the election, they will not get nothing. What do you think?"

There was silence in the auditorium.

After a while, the whole place was in an uproar!

Chapter 7 Passed unanimously

In the auditorium, which erupted after a short silence, all the Uchiha expressed the same idea although their words were different.

Damn it! Patriarch, are you so arrogant? ?

Uchiha Shisui also looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a calm expression in astonishment.

It turned out that he was not the only one with the Mangekyō Sharingan. No wonder when he came back, Uchiha Fugaku asked him if he had opened the Mangekyō.

Huh? Why are you still a little excited?

"Fugaku, is what Shingen said true?" Uchiha asked instantly.

"Yes..." Uchiha Fugaku nodded, a little sadly, "During the war, I had this power."

"Then, here comes a new problem." Uchiha suppressed his excitement for a moment and looked at Uchiha Shingen, "Shingen, as an old guy, I still have a say in this aspect... Only the kaleidoscope can sense it. Another pair of kaleidoscopes, do you also have a kaleidoscope?"

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Uchiha Shingen.

There is expectation and excitement.

"Elder, you guessed wrong. I really don't have one." Uchiha Shingen shrugged.

But Uchiha Setsuna didn't believe it.

"I think you have it." The stubborn old man revealed his evil side, "Maybe it has been activated but you don't know it yourself? In this way, if you let Shisui use the kaleidoscope illusion on you, it will definitely come out."

Come out and look like you!

Seeing that Uchiha Shisui on the side seemed a little excited, Uchiha Shingen quickly put his hand on his shoulder and pressed him with strange force to prevent him from getting up.

"Elder, don't be ridiculous, Kaleidoscope can't do this."

"It's not a bad thing to try." Uchiha recalled the two brothers in an instant, "Shingen, if you are too steady, you will miss the opportunity. If it is possible, you should try boldly."

"You will die if you try!" Uchiha Shingen's attitude was firm, "Stabilize your growth and don't let it go. This is my way of ninja."

"The Way of Ninja..." Uchiha Setsuna's expression was a little sad, "This is a very serious thing to say, but every time you talk to us about the Way of Ninja, you say something different. Don't you think about fixing a Ninja Way? Set one. Small goals, such as opening a kaleidoscope first, I think would be good..."

"...Elder, can we get down to business?"

"Okay..." Uchiha Setsuna looked back at Uchiha Fugaku, "Fugaku, please tell me."

"Well, actually, I mean that too." Uchiha Fugaku nodded and stood up from the tatami.

Looking at each tribesman in front of him, he had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions.

"Maybe you all remember that when we gathered here before, we were powerless to do anything about the current situation. At that time, you also wanted me to run for the Fourth Hokage. As you can see, even if I can get the nomination, no one will Vote for us.”

The clan members who were originally full of excitement regained their composure one by one and remembered the past.

"At that time, I asked everyone to be patient, and I was also patient. Even if I got the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, I didn't dare to say it, because I was worried that everyone would lose their expectations and patience for the village. After all, the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan We know best.”

Everyone listened silently.

"When did it start to change? It was the time of the Nine-Tails Uprising. At that time, Uchiha became a hero. Oh, by the way, before that, we held an ice and snow exhibition. Maybe everyone didn't feel it deeply, but from that time From the beginning, the villagers’ perception of Uchiha began to change.”

Following Uchiha Fugaku's narration, the clansmen recalled.

"This time, I will recommend myself to Hokage-sama, hoping that he will nominate our clan to run for Hokage's assistant. As a sign of sincerity, I will not hide the Mangekyo Sharingan from the Hokage Building, and will further open up the police department. This time, it will not only be a guard I will also open up the force establishment and the police headquarters, not only to the ninja clan, but also to civilian ninjas. I hope everyone is mentally prepared."

Uchiha Fugaku glanced around the entire audience, clearly seeing the changes in everyone's expressions.

Most of the tribesmen did not resist, but were at a loss. Only a small number of people not only did not take it seriously, but were very excited.

"Now that you have decided to participate in this matter, don't be confused!" Uchiha Fugaku shouted loudly, "Think about it! How will Uchiha make everyone feel during this election?"

"Clan leader, what is it?" someone asked.

"It's not 'Uchiha is going to be Hokage's assistant', but 'Uchiha is going to return to the village'. I think this is our goal." Uchiha Fugaku answered this question, "Maybe someone will leave the police force Ministry, but it will have a wider space, don’t you have confidence in this?”

"Of course, patriarch!"

"That's right! I've long been tired of staying in the village!"

Everyone suddenly started talking, their voices getting louder and louder, and the confusion was fading from their faces.

The Uchiha of the Warring States Period were always labeled as aggressive.

Faced with challenges, people in this family generally have relatively good adaptability.

The more you struggle, the stronger you become.

On the contrary, an unchanging environment will make them lazy, become weak, and develop some inexplicable things.

"That's good." Uchiha Fugaku nodded, "But things have to be done step by step. The police department is still very important to us now. I won't throw it away casually. In the future, I will gradually After changing the organizational form of the security force in the past, everyone will have to adapt to it. The companions around you may not necessarily all be members of your family."

"Don't worry, clan leader! We're ready!" Someone in the crowd immediately responded.

By this time, no one was confused anymore and everyone was full of energy.

This feeling of tossing and tossing made everyone excited and very exciting.

Those with bigger imaginations have already begun to “imagine the future.”

"Shingen, do you have anything else to say?" Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha Shingen again.

"No more, clan leader." Uchiha Shingen himself didn't care about the results of the election. What he cared about was the way the Uchiha clan campaigned. It seemed that Uchiha Fugaku had had this idea for a long time.

It was really like what I acted before.

They are all old actors who bully young people.

"Well, then let me give you a suggestion." Uchiha Fugaku nodded, "You should always take Shisui with you more often. You will have to support each other in the future."

"Okay, Chief."

"Then, the matter to be voted on today is..." Uchiha Fugaku paused for a moment. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, he spoke clearly and loudly, "From today on, the family will run for the position of Hokage's Assistant. Those who agree, You can raise your hands.”

Wow!

Everyone raised their hands high at the same time, including the elders behind Uchiha Fugaku.

"The vote is over, unanimously passed!"
