Call Me Hokage

Chapter 96 Call Me Hokage (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Choose Naruto first!

Let's choose Naruto as the agent first!

Uchiha Jin's simple words once again put everyone in the room in a dilemma.

The question of whether one could serve as Hokage for half a lifetime like the Third Hokage, or only hold the position of acting Hokage for a month, should have been a question that didn't even need to be considered.

But the problem is...

According to Uchiha Jin, in order to ensure fairness in the Hokage election, one cannot run for acting Hokage.

The approach was like placing a tempting carrot in front of a donkey. Even though they knew Tsunade might return to the village to participate in the election, none of the candidates, including Hiashi Hyuga, were willing to be the first to step forward.

Are you kidding me!

If Tsunade had wanted to become Hokage, then there wouldn't have been any Minato Habun back then!

Although what happened to Tsunade back then was kept secret, this secrecy was only directed at the ninjas of the enemy countries. How could those who were the true power core of Konoha not know about it?

Moreover, although Hiruzen Sarutobi's one-month deadline seemed unequivocal, it was clear to everyone that he was simply buying time and opportunities.

Furthermore,

Judging from the attitude that Uchiha Jin just displayed, this acting Hokage is not something that those small clan ninjas have a chance of. If they want to compete with Uchiha Jin, they must be at least at the level of Hyuga Hiashi and Akimichi Torifu.

To secure a one-month acting position as Hokage, and then deprive the Uchiha clan of a powerful rival a month later.

Those present who were destined to become clan leaders were all elites among elites, so how could they not see through Uchiha Jin's simple wishful thinking?

and so……

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes showed a constant struggle, but considering that once Tsunade returned to the village, his Hokage lineage might return to its peak, he gritted his teeth and sighed helplessly in response.

"Sigh... I agree to choose Naruto as the proxy first!"

Oh!

Uchiha Jin's eyes were full of sneers, and his disdain grew stronger.

That's it!

There's really not a single one who can fight!

With just a simple pie-in-the-sky promise, without even using much of the basic dragon-slaying technique, these weaklings surrendered one by one.

Looking around at the entire arena, Uchiha Jin suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense that Uchiha Jin is like that, since they are all a group of guys who are used to compromising.

If we simply abandon that suicidal attitude and offer a less unacceptable choice, along with a future full of sweetness, we can achieve our goals.

So who would be willing to completely overturn the table and accept the terrible consequences they themselves wouldn't want to bear?

of course!

They never imagined that the real show would only begin when the seemingly delicious pie was finally ready to be delivered.

With former Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi already expressing his opinion, Hiashi Hyuga, who believes he is qualified to become the Fifth Hokage, and Torifu Akimichi, who represents the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and other friendly Hokage lineage, suddenly became calm and composed, despite their initial excitement.

It's just a month of acting as Hokage!

Only a reckless fool like Uchiha Jin would care about such petty gains.

If we can appease the Uchiha clan and provide them with some additional assistance after we rise to power, then perhaps we can completely tame this runaway Uchiha.

As for whether anything unexpected will happen this month?

Looking at the arrogant and domineering Uchiha Jin, and the Konoha ninjas who dared not speak out against him, everyone felt a strange sense of relief.

The Uchiha clan doesn't understand human nature!

If Uchiha Jin could achieve something within a month, they would feel that the world was truly beyond saving!

Ah!

It's only a month. Even if Uchiha Jin is a bit arrogant and domineering, everyone can just put up with it and it will pass.

Ok……

Just bear with it... it'll be over soon...

"good!"

"Since everyone wants to choose a Naruto proxy first, then..."

Just as everyone was mentally preparing themselves, Uchiha Jin suddenly shouted again, drawing the attention of all the ninja clans, large and small, in the arena once more.

"I've proposed a plan for research... well, not really research, more like everyone helping me out. I, Uchiha Jin, am willing to reluctantly take on the role of acting Hokage!"

"I'm a very democratic person. As long as you don't look down on the Uchiha clan or on me, Uchiha Jin, feel free to express your opinions!"

At this point, Uchiha looked around again, making eye contact with every person present who was worth mentioning, and then spoke boldly once more.

"I've finished speaking. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

"this……"

Although I had prepared myself mentally, I was still shocked when I actually saw Uchiha Jin about to take over as acting Hokage.

At this moment, apart from Fugaku Uchiha, who had already started to grin foolishly, the other clan leaders of the ninja clans hesitated again.

"Let's be straightforward!"

Seeing the situation fall into an awkward state again, a hint of impatience flashed in Uchiha Jin's eyes. He then turned to Nara Shikaku and called out his name.

"Chief Nara, do you agree?"

"Well……"

Nara Shikaku's forehead was covered in cold sweat, but as the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly heavy and oppressive, he could only nod helplessly.

"I agree!"

Ah!

Uchiha Jin nodded in satisfaction, then turned back to look at Hyuga Hiashi and Akimichi Torifu, and continued to ask with a calm expression.

"Both the Hyuga clan head and Uncle Torifu are strong contenders for the Fifth Hokage position. To be fair, I've reluctantly agreed to become the acting Hokage. I hope neither of you will have any objections!"

"snort!"

Hiashi Hyuga snorted lightly. Although he disliked Jin Uchiha, he was unwilling to clash with a "madman" at this time.

"Young people have so much energy! You're much braver than I was back then. I believe in you!"

Akimichi Torifu was smiling happily at the moment, and his bright eyes shone exceptionally brightly beneath his slightly aged face.

Uchiha Jin was somewhat surprised by Akimichi Torifu's performance, but considering the opponent's powerful Yang Release aura, he now understood why the opponent was so strong.

After gaining the approval of Nara Shikaku, Hyuga Hiashi, and Akimichi Torifu, Uchiha Jin completely ignored Uchiha Fugaku and turned to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was not far away.

"Are you going to object?"

Gently fidgeting with his knuckles, Uchiha Jin's tone was exceptionally cold.

"well……"

Uchiha Jin responded with a helpless sigh. Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to be deep in thought, and the twilight around him intensified. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"The village belongs to everyone, so naturally everyone should decide who becomes Hokage, and the same applies to the acting Hokage!"

hiss……

With Hiruzen Sarutobi's decisive words, everyone present seemed to awaken from a dream, finally realizing the truth at that moment.

Konoha has changed!

"Jin, you succeeded!"

Fugaku Uchiha couldn't contain his joy, even forgetting the resentment he had just felt at being tricked by the other party, and he tightly gripped the arm of Jin Uchiha with a happy expression.

Snapped!

In response to this overtly homoerotic gesture, Uchiha Jin slapped away Uchiha Fugaku's large hand without hesitation and said with some disdain.

"How can someone from the Uchiha clan have no manners at all? What kind of behavior is this, with no respect for elders!"

At this point, Uchiha Jin suddenly turned around and spoke arrogantly to everyone present.

Call me Hokage-sama!
