Chapter 678 Influence
The Jonin voting results surprised the ninjas present.
But no matter what they think, the outcome of the vote cannot be changed.
In the Jonin voting, Mu Yue had an absolute lead.
After the meeting, Mu Yue's friends came forward to congratulate him.
"Mu Yue, you are really going to be prosperous now. The position of Hokage is within your reach." Kushina patted Mu Yue on the shoulder and smiled excitedly.
In fact, a long time ago, when she was in ninja school, Kushina also aspired to become Hokage and become the first female Hokage in Konoha.
However, there is no special reason why Kushina wants to become Hokage. She just regards this as a lofty ambition. She is a person who is not willing to be ordinary.
"It's not certain until the exact result comes out." Mu Yue shook her head.
He didn't think being the Hokage was something to be happy about, and he didn't want to open champagne at halftime.
"You really can't be careless about this, but I still want to congratulate you on gaining so much support in the Jonin vote." Namikaze Minato said with a gentle smile.
Seeing his friends suppress seniors like the Sannin in the election of the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato felt a little emotional.
When Mu Yue was still a chuunin, he was already a well-known jounin, but now that Mu Yue is about to become Hokage, he is still just the squad leader of the jounin class.
However, Namikaze Minato is neither jealous nor envious of Mugetsu, only admiration.
Because he was familiar with Mu Yue and knew that all this stemmed from Mu Yue's own abilities and contribution to Konoha, rather than Mu Yue's relationship at the top.
Putting Namikaze Minato into Mu Yue's life, he asked himself that he could not achieve Mu Yue's level.
"I voted for you with my precious vote. It's not too much to celebrate with a big meal for having such a big advantage." Tsunade said bluntly.
Mu Yue nodded, it would be nice to have a big dinner once in a while.
Jiraiya, who was trying to comfort Orochimaru with a joke, was instantly shocked when he heard it.
It doesn't matter if he goes back to Konoha, it would be a pity if he doesn't get Mu Yue's meal even if he comes back in a hurry.
"Ahem, Orochimaru, we seniors have to be considerate. Although you and Mu Yue are currently competing for Hokage, it can't affect your private relationship." Jiraiya said with a serious face.
He wanted to have a meal, but Jiraiya felt that it was not good to leave Orochimaru at this time, so he had to take Orochimaru with him.
"Jiraiya, when did you have the illusion that you have the ability to educate me?" Orochimaru said calmly, walked directly to Mu Yue, and made a request for a meal very calmly.
The fact that the votes were blown away by his juniors did make Orochimaru a little uncomfortable, and he also had his own pride.
But that's all, because that junior is Mu Yue.
When he heard that he was running for Hokage with Mu Yue, Orochimaru knew that he was definitely chosen to be a companion this time.
What can he do to win over Mu Yue? Apart from his mission resume, there was almost nothing he could do to defeat Mu Yue.
In terms of strength, Mu Yue was able to severely injure the Fourth Kazekage with one punch, and then developed the Wood Release unique to the God of Ninja; in terms of military exploits, Mu Yue was the Konoha hero who ended the Third Ninja War.
Orochimaru, who was aware of the gap between the two, didn't feel too disappointed.
And they are still partners. Strictly speaking, Mu Yue becoming Hokage is a good thing for Orochimaru, although it would be better if he didn't become Hokage himself.
"And me."
Jiraiya didn't expect that the cold Orochimaru would also fall in love with the rice, so he was stunned for a moment.
When he came back to his senses, he found that several people had walked some distance while walking and chatting, so he quickly caught up with them.
In addition to friends, Mu Yue also called Asuma Obito and other students and disciples to have a dinner together. "No matter how many times I eat Muyue-sensei's cooking, I never get tired of it. It would be great if the Sharingan could copy this. I can eat it every day without bothering Muyue-sensei." On the way back to the Uchiha clan, Obito lamented that the Sharingan was not powerful enough.
He tried to use Sharingan to copy Mu Yue's cooking techniques one to one, but he didn't make food as delicious as Mu Yue, but the taste was just okay.
"The Sharingan is not omnipotent. If you study seriously with Teacher Muyue, you might be able to do better." Shisui replied casually.
"Forget it then. I'll learn cooking later when I can no longer improve my strength."
Obito didn't want to waste time on cooking and eventually be surpassed by Kakashi in strength, and then be ridiculed and humiliated by Kakashi.
"But Teacher Muyue has such a huge advantage, it is a waste of the clever idea I have been thinking about." Obito quickly brought the topic to the Hokage election.
"It doesn't seem like it was wasted. You can remember it for now and use it later when I run for Hokage."
"It's still a waste." Shisui warned tactfully, as blind operations can easily have counter-effects.
"Don't you think my idea is good, Shisui?"
"Thousands of years ago, it might have been a rare and ingenious idea that would have been applauded."
Obito:......
After arriving at the Uchiha clan, the two separated and went back to their respective families.
Not long after Shisui returned home, Uchiha Fugaku personally came to the door.
"Did you have dinner at Mu Yue's house today?" Uchiha Fugaku asked.
When he left, he saw Zhisui and Muyue leaving.
"Yes." Shisui nodded.
"Assistant Mu Yue will most likely become Hokage this time. We must seize this opportunity. Once the trend in the village turns to Assistant Mu Yue, we will advance the idea of Assistant Mu Yue." Uchiha Fugaku said quickly.
"When the time comes, call the elders together for a meeting to discuss and reach a consensus before holding a clan meeting."
It's not that the Uchiha clan doesn't want to enter the core decision-making level of Konoha, it's just that they can't squeeze in.
Mu Yue's reputation in the Uchiha clan is very good, and the Uchiha ninjas all know that their two geniuses are Mu Yue's disciples.
Now that there is hope like Mu Yue, Uchiha Fugaku does not believe that those elders will still oppose the reform of the police department.
Unless they don't want Uchiha to get better, but in that case, Uchiha Fugaku will have to use his clan leader's rights.
"Yeah." Shisui nodded again.
Uchiha Fugaku's actions gave Shisui a new understanding of Hokage's power and status.
Although Uchiha Fugaku was also towards him before, he was not so proactive. Now that Mu Yue has the opportunity to succeed as Hokage, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly became a lot more active.
Shisui didn't hate Uchiha Fugaku for being like this. After all, Uchiha Fugaku was also for the Uchiha clan.
He thought that an Uchiha ninja like Uchiha Fugaku would rather rebel against the village than the clan.
PS:
I was in a bad state. I felt that if I wrote any more, I would ruin the plot I had planned. Plus it was very late, so I just stopped writing and gave away two thousand.
I have a holiday today. I hope I can recover a bit during the day. Then I will write more and make up for the missing two thousand words.
