Chapter 319: Advising Namikaze Minato, in the name of

Namikaze Minato indeed didn't understand.

Yes.

If it were a normal person, since they were sure they could win, shouldn't they come to win him over more?

How come when it came to Uchiha Jin, they only needed him to remain neutral?

At this moment.

He became increasingly interested.

He wanted to hear what Jin could say.

Uchiha Jin's expression was normal.

After pondering for a little while, he suddenly spoke.

"What I'm about to say might be a bit unpleasant."

"You can't get angry, Minato-aniki, I can only guarantee that what I say is reasonable!"

Namikaze Minato crossed his arms.

He was a broad-minded person himself, so he naturally didn't care about small things.

He nodded directly and spoke immediately: "Just say whatever you have to say; your Minato-aniki is very broad-minded and guarantees that I won't make things difficult for you later."

"Hmm, that's good!"

"703" Uchiha Jin took a deep breath and then spoke faintly: "Because Orochimaru is too strong!"

"For a veteran like him who participated in the Second War, he has enough subordinates to obey orders, and more ninja clans are willing to support Orochimaru."

"And Orochimaru himself is also a self-centered personality."

"As long as he takes office, he will definitely govern Konoha according to his own personality."

"Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen is his teacher, don't even think about ordering Orochimaru!"

"As for the other elders, that goes without saying."

"Even if they don't agree, Orochimaru's orders can still be issued; he has enough ninjas to do things for him."

"This is something Sarutobi Hiruzen and the elders can never accept!"

"Having governed Konoha for so many years, how could they accept having no power in their hands?"

"Minato-aniki, you are different!"

"First of all, your rise to power was too short, and you didn't have enough time to truly build a force centered on you."

"And because of the Flying Thunder God, it's even difficult for you to build bonds with other ninjas."

"So when you do missions, you often have to keep changing teammates."

"This results in your reputation being loud, but in reality, you don't have reliable subordinates."

"Especially since you are from a commoner background and have no ninja clan support."

"If you take office, you can't change anything."

"Because no one will execute what you say, and a few elders and the former Hokage can block you."

"Let alone the major departments of Konoha, you can't even command the Anbu."

"The only thing you might be able to command is the Hokage Guard Platoon!"

"But the problem is that the guard platoon has at most four spots; how much can they do for you?"

"Even if I think with my toes, I know who Sarutobi Hiruzen will support."

"Letting you ascend, Sarutobi Hiruzen still governs Konoha."

"Everything remains the same!"

Namikaze Minato's face was calm.

But deep inside, waves had long since risen.

Actually.

No one knew that when he returned today, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already told him that he would support him for the Fourth Hokage.

At that time, he was very happy.

But now, hearing Uchiha Jin say this, he only felt his hands and feet go cold.

He wanted to be Hokage because he wanted to do things.

He didn't want to be a mere puppet!

So that was it.

Although he was still unwilling to believe Uchiha Jin's speculation, thinking it was just a coincidence.

But, at the same time.

His sixth sense was reminding him that perhaps Uchiha Jin was right.

Time slowly passed.

Namikaze Minato thought for a long time before he couldn't help but speak: "Even if Lord Hokage hopes for me to ascend, he only has one vote, so why do you think he can succeed?"

"Minato-aniki, is that a problem?" Uchiha Jin shrugged: "As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen is willing, then the Sarutobi, Utatane, Mitokado, and Shimura clans will definitely all vote in support."

"The Ino-Shika-Cho are already the Hokage faction, so they can naturally see the true situation of Konoha next."

"So they naturally wouldn't dare to refuse Sarutobi Hiruzen's request!"

"Next is your teacher."

"Although Jiraiya has no subordinates or forces, he has risked his life for Konoha; if he personally steps in to pull votes for you, he can pull in a large wave."

"Even Tsunade, looking at Jiraiya's face, might have to come out to support you."

"The princess of the Senju clan coming out naturally means another large wave of votes."

"You are from the commoner line, so you can at least take half of the commoner Jonin vote bank."

"Electing a Hokage is about voting, but in reality, there is a lot of room for operation."

"After the war ends, you will find that most of the Jonin who support Orochimaru will be transferred to the border, and since they can't return during the election, they naturally can't vote."

"The Jonin Commander is Nara Shikaku; when to start the election is just a word from Sarutobi Hiruzen, right?"

"As long as the Jonin class is handled, the Daimyo's side is just a formality."

"Others have no chance!"

"Even your opponent Orochimaru, the moment the war ends, Sarutobi Hiruzen will give him a secret mission, and Orochimaru will naturally disappear completely..."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen has governed Konoha for so many years; his influence has long since permeated every aspect."

"Is this something to be played with?"

Namikaze Minato was completely speechless.

So, that was it?

Could even the Hokage election be manipulated like this?

Truly, he had gained knowledge!

He finally understood why Uchiha Jin didn't need him to do more when they made the bet.

A puppet Hokage indeed didn't need to do anything!

He tried to refute, but found he had nothing to say.

After a long time.

He could only shake his head helplessly.

"That, Jin-kun!"

"I still can't believe you, you said too much today, I need to think about it carefully." ===== CHAPTER 320 =====
