Chapter 523: The tradition of Uchiha's father's kindness and son's filial piety is long-standing

The second election soon came to an end. As expected, Uchiha Kagami won the election with an absolute advantage and took the position of branch secretary into his pocket.

"Congratulations, Kagami."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who missed the Hokage position, came to congratulate him for the first time. He had adjusted his mentality at this moment.

Thinking about it, there is still the big senior Uchiha Izuna in the village. How could he, a small character, have the opportunity to dye his fingers on the Hokage position?

"Hiruzen, don't be discouraged, you will definitely win next time."

Kagami, who had just finished accepting the congratulations of the clansmen, turned his head, looking at the lingering sadness in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, and comforted him thoughtfully.

"Borrow your auspicious words."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded lightly. He didn't feel discouraged because of this failure.

There is no child who cries every day, and there is no gambler who loses every day.

He is still young, and there are plenty of opportunities in the future.

The election of Konoha's new leader came to a temporary end, and the next step is to wait for the announcement. During this period, the two new leaders need to have a meeting with the nobles headed by the Daimyo to get to know each other.

"Phew... Fortunately, I lowered Kagami's odds, otherwise I would have lost a lot this time."

Outside the Hokage Building, Uchiha Gin, who finished the second competition, returned to the base and counted the banknotes in his hand, sighing with lingering fear.

The heat of the branch secretary election was obviously lower than that of the Hokage, and there were fewer people betting, basically all of Kagami's fans, who could chase stars and make money, why not do it?

"Really can't understand you."

Uchiha Hikari on the side, resting her chin on her hands, looked at Uchiha Gin, who fell into the eyes of money, and shook her head helplessly.

"What's wrong with me earning some money to subsidize the family? Money is not hot."

Uchiha Gin raised his head upon hearing this, and happened to see Senju Itama, who was absent-minded, and frowned slightly.

"Little brat, what's wrong with you?"

"I have something on my mind."

At this moment, Senju Itama was still struggling with why the Hokage position didn't fall into the pocket of the Ninja Clan Alliance as the people in the family said.

"Here, give it to you~"

Uchiha Gin, worried that Senju Itama would be depressed, fumbled in his pocket and threw a lemon-flavored lollipop he had treasured for a long time.

"This is..."

Subconsciously raising his hand to catch the flying thing, Senju Itama looked at the lemon-flavored lollipop in his hand in confusion.

"This one is strong, it can suppress things in your heart."

Uchiha Gin pouted, signaling her not to live up to his kindness.

"Then thank you very much."

Senju Itama rolled her eyes and threw the lemon-flavored lollipop back. She didn't like sour.

"There should be a banquet tonight, and I can eat again~"

The Uchiha won the double crown, so they must continue to hold a banquet. Just finished eating the white-hair's seventh-day banquet, this can be considered a continuation.

Can't finish eating, can't finish eating at all~

"I won't go. Remember to pack me some braised pork knuckles."

After the election, Senju Senju Feizhen, with a stinky face, took the Senju clansmen and left first. I don't know if it was because of a guilty conscience, but she took big steps when she left. She really wasn't worried about pulling her eggs if her steps were too big.

The Ninja Clan Alliance withdrew from the Hokage Building with mutual suspicion. This failure was very likely that there was a traitor within them.

Sarutobi Sasuke now looks at everyone like an internal traitor.

The Uchiha Jonin were the most relaxed, walking out of the Hokage Building in an orderly manner with laughter, and waving to the Uchiha clansmen who had been waiting outside for a long time.

"We won!"

"Open the banquet! Open the banquet!"

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

Kagami, who was walking side by side with Uchiha Izuna, found that the uncle who was about to take over as the first leader didn't have any excitement or joy, but instead carried a trace of boredom.

"Boring."

"Uh..."

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

In his vision, there should be a white-hair loser dog following behind him.

"Congratulations, congratulations~"

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

"Big cousin."

"Uncle Gin!"

The two saw Uchiha Gin and their expressions finally eased a lot.

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

Smiling, Uchiha Gin took out two red envelopes he had prepared in advance and 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 accepted the red envelope without a trace.

"Little cousin, today Uchiha Fuyao is back, you must tell him this good news yourself."

Uchiha Uchiha Fuyao has been running around for the family business for several months. According to the news passed back, he returned to Konoha from the Land of Waves tonight.

"Uchiha Fuyao, that kid, is really getting less and less home-oriented now."

Mentioning his son, Uchiha Izuna's eyes finally regained some color, and a proud look appeared on his face unconsciously.

"So you two have a good chat today."

Uchiha Gin recalled the scene when he met Uchiha Fuyao in the Land of Waves last time. At that time, Uchiha Fuyao looked worried for some reason. Maybe he encountered some difficulties, just enough 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 food and wine intertwined, extending to the entire Konoha.

"Damn it!"

Senju Senju Feizhen, who was eating white porridge and pickles, greedily smelled the fragrance in the air, with a look of enjoyment on her face.

However, thinking of the source of this smell, she 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 Senju Feizhen cursed the culprit who caused her bankruptcy in her heart.

If it weren't for that curly-haired guy making trouble, she would have turned over successfully long ago, not only paying off the previous foreign debt, but also improving her life.

On the side of the Ninja Clan Alliance, they couldn't even take care of eating. All 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 statistical table handed over by the representative of the Yamanaka clan, the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

"Our Jonin have all been checked. Except for a few Shimura family 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 last thing they want to see is the Uchiha gaining power is the Senju clan. It's good enough not to trip them up.

"Check again!"

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

At the entrance of the village, Uchiha Uchiha Fuyao, who was dusty, brought his subordinates into the village and smelled a rich fragrance, his heart was very confused. As the clan land got closer and closer, this fragrance became clearer and clearer.

"Our welcome party?"

Uchiha Uchiha Fuyao looked at the lively clan land, and couldn't help but feel a bit moved. The deep grievance instantly vanished.

"Haha, Young Master Uchiha Fuyao! You are finally back!"

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

"What happened at home?"

From the expression of the clansman, it is not difficult to guess that this banquet is not used to welcome himself. Uchiha Uchiha Fuyao was disappointed, but still asked.

"Good thing, a great good thing. Don't talk about it, go late and there will be no seats!"

"Good thing?"

Looking at the back of the clansman moving away, the doubt in Uchiha Uchiha Fuyao's heart became heavier and heavier. Could it be that the big cousin finally got married?

"It's Uchiha Fuyao, that kid."

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

"Seen Father, Big Cousin."

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

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

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

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

Keenly noticing that his son's mental state was not very good, Uchiha Izuna asked in confusion.

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

Uchiha Uchiha Fuyao, with his mouth full of delicious food, frowned. He did have something, but he didn't know if he should say it. 【52

"Just what?"

"Nothing."

Uchiha Fuyou recalled the "ambiguous" behavior of the Land of Waves' Daimyo, and his sphincter tightened instinctively. But then he thought that the Land of Waves was an important partner for the Uchiha, and if he blew this matter out of proportion, he might cut off the Uchiha's financial path.

"Uchiha Fuyou, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Your father's status now is different from before; he can definitely back you up."

"Status? What status?"

Uchiha Fuyou was stunned upon hearing this.

"Hokage, of course. You'll soon be able to live the life of a god, bullying men and women as you please."

"Nani? Dad, did you use a cheat code?"

Looking at his calm and composed father in disbelief, Uchiha Uchiha Fuyou wanted to slap himself twice to wake up.

"Am I really that unbearable in your heart?"

Not expecting his son to look down on him, Uchiha Izuna was immediately displeased.

"No, no, I was just too excited."

How did he muddle-headedly become the son of the Hokage? This was the strongest second-generation heir in Konoha; he could walk sideways wherever he went from now on.

Wait!

My dad is the Hokage, so what do I have to be afraid of!

"Father, you must stand up for me~"

"Huh?"

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

"Boom!"

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

Hearing that someone coveted his son's chastity, Uchiha Izuna was so angry that he activated his Mangekyo on the spot, his scarlet eyes filled with chilling killing intent.

"I'm going to go chop that old pervert in half right now!"

"Uh, little cousin, is there some misunderstanding here?"

Uchiha Gin, who had also heard the eldest nephew's explanation, had a very strange expression. Was his uncle being too enthusiastic?

"Misunderstanding? Once or twice would be fine, but that old pervert not only touches my head every time he sees me, he also asks about my well-being, and even tried to keep me with money!"

"This..." Could it be pocket money from a grandfather to a grandson?

"Father!"

"You just wait, I'm going to go settle the score with him right now!"

His son had been wronged; how could he, as a father, sit idly by? Uchiha Izuna even threw the matter of taking office as Hokage to the back of his mind, preparing to set off immediately for the Land of Waves to seek revenge.

"Little cousin, don't be reckless. Your status now is not what it used to be."

Uchiha Izuna could basically be considered the Third Hokage of Konoha now; one move affects the whole situation.

"Whoever wants to be Hokage can be it."

At this point, Uchiha Izuna finally said the words that had been suppressed in the bottom of his heart for a long time.

"Eldest cousin, I said before that one cannot order the white-haired one around. This Hokage position means nothing to me."

"But the votes have all been cast now; you can't just abstain, can you?"

Uchiha Gin scratched his head and did not speak to stop him.

As a sensible parent, he never forced his children to do things they didn't want to do.

Even if it was Hokage, if his little cousin didn't want to do it, no one could force him.

"What does it matter if I voluntarily give it up? It's a pity that Kagami has already taken the position of Branch Secretary, otherwise I'd let him enjoy it."

Uchiha Izuna had figured it out; the position of Hokage was not actually that important to him. What he valued was just that white-haired one who shared an office with him.

If there was no white-haired one in his Hokage office, what was the point of being Hokage?

"Let me think, if you really give it up, then it will be cheap for Sarutobi Hiruzen~"

According to the election rules, if someone abstains, the person behind them can move up to fill the vacancy. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who received the second-highest number of votes, would be considered to have won the resurrection match.

"Since that kid is a disciple valued by the white-haired one, what does it matter if I hand the Hokage position to him?"

Waving his hand very generously, there was not the slightest greed for power in Uchiha Izuna's eyes.

Under the long-term indulgence of his two older brothers, Uchiha Izuna's desire for worldly things had dropped to freezing point; the gain or loss of the Hokage position could not affect him at all.

If he wanted power, he was the Uchiha Deputy Clan Leader, below one person and above ten thousand.

If he wanted money, he had a house of gold.

"Are you really at ease handing Konoha over to that bunch of guys?"

Looking at his little cousin who could pick things up and put them down, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.

"This is your eldest brother's hard work; aren't you worried they'll mess things up?"

"Eldest brother once said that Konoha has never been the private property of any clan; the position of Hokage should be held by the capable."

Uchiha Izuna shook his head gently. In this big family of Konoha, as long as you have the ability, you can take the stage.

"Besides, isn't Kagami still there?"

Of course, another reason Uchiha Izuna could safely shirk his responsibilities was the existence of Uchiha Kagami.

As the Branch Secretary, Kagami's power was on par with the Hokage, so he was not worried that Sarutobi Hiruzen would act to discard the donkey after the millstone was used once he took office.

"Oh my, I really can't do anything with you. Then in what name are you going to the Land of Waves?"

Seeing that his little cousin's mind was made up to run away, Uchiha Gin stopped trying to stop him. Anyway, even a dog wouldn't want to be Hokage!

"The mission center has always had missions for the Land of Waves; I'll just take one at random."

Konoha's mission center was still in the hands of Uchiha Izuna, and his memory of those long-term missions was still very deep.

"Hehe! That old pervert, the Land of Waves' Daimyo, who has no asshole for a son—if I don't beat the shit out of him, I'll call him Daddy!" (End of chapter)
