Chapter 521

"Vote counting finished!"

I don't know how long it took, the notary's voice pulled Senju Feizhen, who was lost in thought, back to reality. Looking at Sarutobi Sasuke, who was looking like a mourning dog in the distance, she knew she had lost this time, and lost very thoroughly.

"As expected of the naturally evil Uchiha, actually playing this kind of dark box operation."

No, wasn't the person who played small tricks at the beginning you?

"Miss Feizhen, what should we do now?"

Sarutobi Sasuke was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. For this election, their Ninja Clan Alliance had exhausted all their efforts, connections, and financial resources. If it ended in failure, the indestructible alliance might fall apart because of this.

"It's all Uchiha people playing tricks, they pulled votes we didn't count."

"Impossible! Civilian Jonin were bought by me for the most part. Could it be Hyuga? No, it shouldn't be. Hasn't their relationship always been not very good?"

Sarutobi Sasuke, who started to review, frowned tightly. For his son's election, he specially pulled a group of civilian Jonin and promised them rich resources after success. Reasonably speaking, these people shouldn't have defected at the last minute.

"It's not Hyuga."

Hyuga Xiang Tianyao, who was accompanying the run, had no problems with the votes he received. Senju Feizhen had ruled out his suspicion from the beginning.

"Then where did those votes come from?"

It couldn't be that someone used Edo Tensei to resurrect the Jonin who sacrificed before, right?

"There is a traitor, Clan Leader Sarutobi, someone inside your Ninja Clan Alliance has defected."

After screening out everyone who was suspicious using the elimination method, Senju Feizhen said to Sarutobi Sasuke with a heavy expression.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Sarutobi Sasuke shook his head violently upon hearing this. Their Ninja Clan Alliance had always been an iron bucket, and they had made a blood oath at the beginning of the alliance a hundred years ago never to betray.

"It's hard to draw a person's bones, and it's hard to know a person's face."

Senju Feizhen shook her head. She was already convinced that there was a traitor in the Ninja Clan Alliance.

It couldn't be that someone inside their Senju clan defected to the Uchiha, right?

"At this point, then the previous campaign funds..."

Knowing that his son had lost the election, Sarutobi Sasuke recalled the large amount of funds he had taken out, so he reminded Senju Feizhen cautiously.

"It's a problem that appeared inside you."

How can the money that has been swallowed be spit out? Their Senju clan has already tried their best. The failure is because your Ninja Clan Alliance is not giving enough effort.

Moreover, that money is no longer in her hands now.

"Damn curly-haired guy! He must know some inside story!"

Thinking of the banknotes that hadn't warmed up in her hands, falling into Uchiha Gin's pocket like this, Senju Feizhen would be lying if she said she wasn't angry.

"Now announce the election results."

The notary stood out, holding the already counted ranking.

"Lord Izuna! Stable! We are stable!"

In the area where the Uchiha clan gathered, an Uchiha Jonin who carefully recorded the votes clenched his fists excitedly.

"I said early on, this kind of election is just a process. In the whole of Konoha, besides Lord Izuna, who else is qualified to succeed as Hokage."

"That's right, that's right~"

Listening to the flattery of the clansmen in his ears, Uchiha Izuna appeared light and breezy, not affected by external information at all, with a faint inexplicable meaning in his somewhat distracted eyes.

"Hokage, well..."

"Monkey! Didn't you say your father pulled connections for you? How could this happen?"

The F6 belonging to the Ninja Clan Alliance gathered together. Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose expression was the smelliest, was being complained about by Danzo, who only got a few friendly votes, making him feel upset.

"I don't know either."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, with a face as black as iron, shook his head coldly. He had been counting votes silently in his heart. In the first half, his vote count was far ahead, but for some reason, Uchiha Izuna suddenly exerted force in the second half, and the vote count began to soar, soon catching up with him.

The Sarutobi clan had already customized his Hokage robe, was it going to be given to Uchiha Izuna as a gift?

"Clan Leader, why don't we help the Ninja Clan Alliance? This is a great opportunity to topple the Uchiha."

Among the Jonin of the Hyuga clan, there were also many strange voices. Some Hyuga clansmen who didn't know why gathered their courage to ask Hyuga Xiang Tianyao, who was closing his eyes and resting.

It was normal for him to have questions. The status of the Hyuga clan in the village was very awkward. It belonged to the kind that was neither high nor low, and because of the special system of the Hyuga clan, it was difficult to break the situation by themselves, so they urgently needed strong allies to help.

And the Ninja Clan Alliance, which was becoming more and more powerful, happened to be a very perfect ally.

"Go back and reflect in the face-wall room for three months."

Hyuga Xiang Tianyao didn't even bother to open his eyes. A light sentence decided the fate of this talkative clansman.

"... Yes."

The Hyuga clansman who had just spoken out turned pale, but as a branch family, he couldn't resist the order of the main family at all.

What a bunch of brainless idiots.

Topple the Uchiha?

A dead camel is bigger than a horse. Although Uchiha Izuna is not as good as Uchiha Madara, his strength is still unfathomable.

Hyuga Xiang Tianyao slowly opened his pure white eyes, his gaze falling unobtrusively on Uchiha Izuna, who was distracted in the distance.

From the perspective of his Byakugan, Uchiha Izuna's whole body radiated rich chakra like substance, as if it were endless, and the cold power escaping from his eyes also made Hyuga Xiang Tianyao feel terrified.

Monsters, the Uchiha are all monsters.

"The one ranked first in the number of votes is, Uchiha Izuna."

"Yay!"

"Meeting! Must hold a meeting!"

"Lord Izuna, why do you look so... calm."

Walking side by side with Uchiha Izuna, Kagami, who was about to take office as the first leader, found that the uncle who was about to take office had no excitement or joy on his face, but instead carried a trace of weariness.

"Boring."

"Uh..."

Even though he successfully succeeded to the Hokage position he once dreamed of, the emptiness in Uchiha Izuna's heart was still not filled.

In his vision, there should have been a white-haired mourning dog following behind him.

"Congratulations, congratulations~"

Uchiha Gin appeared at the right time, breaking the somewhat awkward atmosphere between the two.

"Big Brother."

"Uncle Gin!"

The two expressions eased a lot after seeing Uchiha Gin.

"This is a red envelope prepared for you, don't dislike it for being small."

Uchiha Gin smiled and took out two stacks of red envelopes he had prepared in advance, and without saying a word, forced them into the hands of the two.

"Ah, this... how embarrassing... thank you~"

The two wanted to decline, but were conquered by the heavy weight in their hands, and immediately put away the red envelopes unobtrusively.

"Little cousin, today is the day of wealth, you must tell him this good news yourself."

Uchiha Fuyu had been running around for the clan's business for several months. According to the news sent back, he would return to Konoha from the Land of Waves tonight.

"Fuyu, that kid, really doesn't want to go home more and more now."

Mentioning his son, Uchiha Izuna finally recovered a bit of color in his eyes, and a proud look appeared on his face unconsciously.

"So you two should have a good chat today."

Uchiha Gin recalled the scene when he met Fuyu in the Land of Waves last time. At that time, Fuyu looked worried for some reason. Maybe he encountered some difficulties, just in time for his little cousin to enlighten him.

As night fell, the Uchiha opened the carnival mode. The clan land was brightly lit, and the fragrance of rice and wine intertwined, extending to the whole of Konoha.

"Damn it!"

Senju Feizhen, who was eating white porridge and pickles, greedily sniffed the fragrance in the air, with an expression of enjoyment on her face.

However, as soon as she thought of the source of this smell, her face instantly became gloomy, and the speed of changing her face was comparable to the peak Chuan Zi.

"Damn curly-haired guy!"

Looking down at the shabby dinner on the table, Senju Feizhen cursed the culprit who caused her bankruptcy in her heart.

If it weren't for that curly-haired guy's interference, she would have turned over successfully long ago, not only being able to pay off the previous foreign debts, but also being able to improve her life.

On the side of the Ninja Clan Alliance, they were too busy to eat. All the Jonin who participated in the voting were ordered to gather together and accept the inspection of the Yamanaka clan one by one.

"Still can't find it?"

Sarutobi Sasuke narrowed his eyes, looking at the statistics handed over by the representative of the Yamanaka clan, his expression becoming more and more heavy.

"Our Jonin have all been inspected. Except for a few Shimura loyalists who voted for Danzo, other Jonin chose the young clan leader Sarutobi."

"If we have no problems, then..."

Stroking his goatee, Sarutobi Sasuke's narrowed eyes gradually widened, and a terrible thought flashed in his heart.

Could it be that the Senju clan is a thief calling for a thief?

"Impossible, what good does this do for them?"

But as soon as this thought arose, it was quickly denied by him. The one who least wanted to see the Uchiha gain power was the Senju clan. It would be good if they didn't trip them up.

"Check again!"

It must be that the traitor's disguise skills are excellent!

At the entrance of the village, Uchiha Fuyu, who was dusty, led his subordinates into the village and smelled a rich fragrance, and was immediately puzzled. As the clan land got closer and closer, this fragrance became clearer and clearer.

"Our welcome party?"

Uchiha Fuyu looked at the bustling clan land, and couldn't help but feel a bit moved. The hidden grievance instantly vanished.

"Haha, Young Master Fuyu! You are finally back!"

A passing clansman discovered Uchiha Fuyu's figure and immediately laughed and came to welcome him.

"What happened at home?"

It is not difficult to guess from the expressions of the clansmen that this banquet was not used to welcome him. Uchiha Fuyu was disappointed, but still asked.

"Good thing, a great good thing, let's not talk about it, if you go late, there will be no seats!"

"Good thing?"

Looking at the back of the clansman leaving, Uchiha Fuyu's doubts became heavier and heavier. Could it be that his big cousin finally got married?

"It's Fuyu, that kid."

In the center of the clan land, Uchiha Izuna was drinking alone. Uchiha Gin beside him sensed a familiar aura. Looking back, wasn't the big nephew who hadn't been seen for a long time walking over?

"Seen Father, Big Cousin."

Uchiha Fuyu stepped forward respectfully to salute, but his curious gaze fell on the clansmen celebrating around. He still didn't know why the clansmen were so happy.

"Hard work, since you are here, let's eat together."

Uchiha Izuna nodded, and Uchiha Fuyu didn't be polite, sat down beside his father, picked up chopsticks, and ate heartily.

"Fuyu, didn't you have any accidents on this trip?"

Sensitively noticing that his son's mental state was not very good, Uchiha Izuna asked suspiciously.

"There were no accidents, it's just..."

Uchiha Fuyu, who had his mouth full of delicious food, frowned. He did have something, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Just what?"

"Nothing."

Fuyu remembered the "ambiguous" behavior of the Land of Waves Daimyo, and his chrysanthemum tightened subconsciously. But then he thought, the Land of Waves is an important partner of the Uchiha. If he magnified this matter, he was afraid it would cut off the Uchiha's financial path.

"Fuyu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Your father's status is different from before, and he can definitely support you."

"Status? What status?"

Fuyu was stunned upon hearing this.

"Hokage, you can live a fairy life of bullying men and women soon."

"Nani? Old Dad, did you open a hang?"

Looking at his father in disbelief, Uchiha Fuyu wished he could slap himself twice to wake up.

"Am I that unbearable in your heart?"

Seeing that his son actually looked down on him, Uchiha Izuna was unhappy on the spot.

"No... no, I'm just too excited."

How did I become the son of the Hokage in a daze? This is the strongest second-generation ancestor in Konoha. I can walk sideways when I go out in the future.

Wait!

My old dad is the Hokage, then what am I worried about!

"Father, you must make the decision for me~"

"Huh?"

Uchiha Fuyu immediately knelt before Izuna with tears and snot, and repeated his encounter in the Land of Waves truthfully.

"Bang!"

"Damn Land of Waves, this is bullying my Uchiha for having no one!"

Hearing that someone coveted his son's chastity, Uchiha Izuna opened his Mangekyo on the spot, his scarlet eyes filled with murderous intent.
