Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Mu Yue had a subtle expression. What was he going to do? Was he going to support him in asking the Third Hokage to abdicate?

"Hokage hat!"

Obito's eyes widened and he looked at Mu Yue excitedly. He subconsciously took out his camera and took a picture of Mu Yue.

Snapped!Snapped!

The next moment, two transparent energy energies hit Asuma and Obito on the head.

Then Mu Yue took off the Hokage's hat. He didn't have any obsession with the Hokage.

"Asuma, where did you order it? It's exactly the same hat as the one the Hokage is wearing." Obito asked curiously, touching his head skillfully.

When he was taking his graduation photos, he always wanted to wear this kind of hat, but unfortunately there was no one exactly the same, not even a high-quality imitation.

"Haha, who knows? I picked it up." Asma said perfunctorily with a laugh.

This is not exactly the same, because this is what Sarutobi Hiruzen usually wears on his head.

Shisui had a thoughtful expression.

Custom-made? What clothing store would dare to make this thing? It looks exactly like the real Hokage hat.

Considering Asuma's identity, Shisui felt that this should be the real Hokage hat.

Asuma picked up the Hokage hat and put it into the scroll. Although he was angry, he didn't really want to give the hat to Mu Yue right now. He would put it back after returning home.

Seeing Asuma hesitate to speak, Mu Yue said to Obito and Shisui:

"There are some materials I usually organize upstairs. You can go and take a look."

Asuma clearly had something he wanted to say to him, but was hesitant because of Shisui and Obito's presence.

Mu Yue could understand this. Asuma and Obito were just good friends, not a long-term life-and-death relationship like the one between Kakashi and Obito.

"Teacher Mu Yue, that's not necessary." Asuma thought about it and decided to directly tell Sarutobi Hiruzen what he said and his speculation.

Because the matters involved were so important, Asuma initially wanted to let as few people know about it as possible.

But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that Obito and Shisui were not unknown people in the village and could help Mu Yue in the election.

Moreover, given Obito and Shisui's personalities, it is impossible for them to betray Mu Yue and leak the information.

"The Fourth Hokage!" Obito's eyes sparkled.

If the invincible Mu Yuexianren becomes Hokage, Konoha will surely take off.

"Asuma just said that he might be nominated, why do you say it as if he has already succeeded to the throne?" Mu Yue knocked on Obito's head again.

"Isn't this trust in you?" Obito said with a laugh.

Shisui nodded in his heart. With Mu Yue's current reputation in Konoha, the probability of him becoming Hokage is very high.

As for the fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze in the original history, his current fame is completely incomparable to Mu Yue.

"If Aunt Tsunade is also nominated, the final result is hard to say, but we can start preparing now and seize the initiative when the time comes." Asuma said.

This is the purpose of his coming. If he had known the information in advance and started preparing, he would have been well prepared to compete for votes to the greatest extent possible.

Of all the potential contenders, Asuma feared Tsunade the most.

Because Tsunade has too many buffs on her. She is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, the most orthodox existence in Konoha, and she is also the disciple of his old man.

In addition, as the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world, Tsunade has treated a large number of ninjas and various officials and nobles, and her network of contacts is also very terrifying.

Tsunade did not participate much in the Third Shinobi World War, but she made great achievements in the Second Shinobi World War.

A series of factors combined to make Tsunade no less successful than Mu Yue in the election.

"How about hiding a stone with 'Konoha Xing, Mu Yueying' engraved on it in the fish's body?" Obito said excitedly.

"We can hold a class reunion, contact students who were taught by Teacher Mu Yue in the past, and integrate everyone's strength to help Teacher Mu Yue." This was Shisui's idea.

Chapter 677 Overwhelming Votes

In the meeting room of the Hokage Building.

A large number of Konoha Jonins in uniforms were sitting around the huge conference table.

"Is there something big to announce? Why are so many people here today?" A senior ninja noticed that there were unusually many people in the meeting room today.

In fact, not all the jonin need to be called to every meeting. Most of the time, only the jonin who have been notified will come.

Jounin with special organization like Anbu Jounin will attend fewer meetings.

"Cough cough."

After everyone arrived, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the main seat, coughed twice, attracting the attention of all the ninjas present.

"Carrying on the will of the second generation, protecting the village, we have gone through dozens of springs and autumns. Time flies by, and before I knew it, my hair has turned gray and my muscles have weakened.

The courage of the past is gone; the wisdom of the past needs new thinking to succeed. The position of Hokage is not the honor of one person, but the burden of Konoha. It needs a capable person to maintain Konoha's peace, pass on the will of Konoha's fire, and protect Konoha's new buds.

Therefore, I have made up my mind to step down from the responsibility of Hokage in the near future and pass the throne to a rising star."

After he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a light breath, opened the cup and drank some water to moisten his throat.

Sarutobi Hiruzen would not normally use such flowery language in meetings, but this time he was abdicating, so there had to be some sense of ceremony.

"?!"

The ninjas in the conference room all showed expressions of shock and confusion.

Except for Mu Yue, Mito Men Yan and others who knew it in advance, the rest of the senior ninjas were shocked by Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

Even Orochimaru, who knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen was defeated, was a little surprised.

Losing to a junior might indeed be somewhat embarrassing for a Hokage like Sarutobi Hiruzen, but it was not serious enough to make him resign and abdicate.

Because of Sosuke's holding back, Konoha didn't even suffer any actual losses. As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen pretended nothing had happened, it wouldn't have much of an impact unless Sosuke didn't publicize it.

"Did something happen?" Nara Shikaku's eyes flashed.

He did not believe the reason given by Sarutobi Hiruzen that he was old and weak. Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed not young anymore, but he was not that old either.

Ohnoki is six years older than Sarutobi Hiruzen, yet he is still serving as the Third Tsuchikage.

"Hokage?" Tsunade subconsciously looked at Mu Yue, then frowned.

Mu Yue has been very popular in Konoha recently. In addition, Mu Yue made great contributions in the Third War, so it is not impossible for her to be nominated.

However, Tsunade doesn't really want Mu Yue to become Hokage. If Mu Yue becomes Hokage, wouldn't she have to waste a lot of time on official duties? Would she have the energy to cook properly then?

"Who will be nominated?" The Konoha senior ninjas looked at the Konoha strongmen in the conference room curiously.

Mu Yue and the Three Ninjas attracted the most attention and were considered the four most likely ninjas.

As for Minato, although he is excellent in all aspects, with Mu Yue around, most people think that Minato Namikaze has no chance.

After all, there are experienced and powerful three ninjas here. If Mu Yue and Namikaze Minato are both nominated, then all three ninjas must be nominated, and then the number of people will be too large.

Obito kept his mouth tightly closed, but his eyebrows couldn't help but dance with excitement. He couldn't wait to vote for Teacher Mu Yue.

"Orochimaru is one of the three most famous ninjas in the ninja world, and one of Konoha's signature ninjas. He diligently carries out missions, solving one difficult commission after another, securing significant benefits for Konoha and helping it establish a good reputation."

After a brief pause, Sarutobi Hiruzen officially began to introduce the nominated ninjas.

When the jonin heard Orochimaru's name, they showed expressions of "as expected".

At the beginning of the Third War, the Three Ninjas were considered very likely to inherit the position of Hokage, so no one was surprised or had any problems with Orochimaru's nomination.

“He has made distinguished military achievements since the Second Shinobi World War, and his contributions to Konoha are profound and significant.

Based on Orochimaru's outstanding contributions to Konoha and the positive changes he could bring to the future, the high-level meeting, after careful consideration and extensive discussion, decided to nominate Orochimaru as the candidate for the Fourth Hokage.

Bang bang! !

After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his speech, thunderous applause broke out.

Orochimaru performed well in both Ninja World Wars, and this nomination is well deserved.

"During the Third Shinobi World War, a large number of outstanding ninjas emerged from our Konoha, and Hanyu Muyue was the most outstanding among them. Even if the scope is expanded to the entire ninja world, Hanyu Muyue was the ninja with the most outstanding performance in the Third Shinobi World War.

Hanyu Muyue had turned the tide several times when Konoha's forces were at a disadvantage. In the final battle, he faced a combined attack from multiple Kages and remained calm, laying the foundation for Konoha's ultimate victory.

After the applause stopped, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately began to introduce the second nominee, Mu Yue.

"That's true." Tsunade couldn't help but roll her eyes at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Why are you thinking about retiring at the age of 54? Wouldn’t it be better to work for a few more years?

Tsunade guessed that it would be Mu Yue and Orochimaru. Jiraiya had the same attitude as her and refused to become Hokage, so he probably wouldn't be nominated.

In this case, Tsunade feels that Mu Yue, who has better popularity and Wood Release, has a greater chance of being elected.

"Therefore, after unanimous deliberation at the high-level meeting, we have decided to formally nominate Hanyu Muyue as the candidate for the fourth Hokage's replacement."

clap clap clap!

After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, the conference room suddenly erupted in applause even louder than before.

Students like Obito and Asuma gave him enough face, and the only thing missing was using chakra to strengthen him.

Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Yami, and other Uchiha exchanged glances with each other and applauded excitedly.

For the Uchiha clan, it would be a great thing for Mu Yue to become Hokage.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Obito and Shisui became the legitimate Hokage is very exciting.

With the Hokage teacher, and the two of them being very capable, it should be no problem for them to produce a high-ranking official, if not a Hokage.

"I choose Teacher Mu Yue! He can make us stronger." Obito said excitedly.

There is no doubt that he firmly supports Mu Yuexianren to become Hokage.

"Please be quiet, Jonin Obito. There is no need to express your thoughts like this." Mitomon En reminded.

The election of the Hokage at the Jonin Conference is not done by a show of hands, but by secret ballot.

Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing when voting, watching your subordinates and friends vote for your opponent instead of you.

Kakashi covered his face speechlessly and moved his chair slightly to the side without making a sound.

"The above are all the candidates for the Fourth Hokage election. Voting will begin in five minutes." Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.

The atmosphere in the following meeting was somewhat silent, and few people spoke out to discuss who to choose.

There's no special reason, it's just that it's easy to offend people.

After all, those present were all elite ninjas, and at this distance, unless someone was really whispering in your ear, you could probably hear what they were saying if you listened carefully.

When Shisui and the others heard that their only opponent was Orochimaru, their faces instantly lit up with joy.

What they were most worried about was Tsunade being nominated, so they came up with many ways to grab votes.

If the opponent was only Orochimaru, there would not be so much trouble. With Mu Yue's current reputation in Konoha, even if he did nothing, there is a great possibility that he would defeat Orochimaru and be elected Hokage.

"Tsunade, who are you going to choose?" Jiraiya asked bluntly.

He had already left the Land of Fire, but he came back a week ago after Sarutobi Hiruzen contacted him and told him about something important.

For Jiraiya, there is no need to be too shy about the topic of who to choose. After all, if he has an idea, it is not difficult to make a nomination.

Now that he is like this, those nominated ninjas should thank him for resisting the Hokage, as they have lost a strong opponent.

"Mu Yue." Tsunade answered briefly.

She didn't want to see Mu Yue becoming Hokage, but Tsunade would not vote for Orochimaru for this reason. If Mu Yue happened to miss the position of Hokage because of this, how could she have the nerve to eat so many meals.

Also, Tsunade felt that Orochimaru was not suitable to be Hokage. In her opinion, Orochimaru was a little crazy now, wanting to learn all the ninjutsu and wanting to live forever.

If a ninja like this becomes Hokage, who knows what kind of trouble will happen.

"What about you?"

"I'm going to give up," Jiraiya replied.

He actually thought that Orochimaru was not suitable to be Hokage, but Jiraiya felt that it would be too hurtful to Orochimaru if he voted for Mu Yue.

Just give up and don't choose. It's allowed by the rules anyway.

Five minutes passed quickly.

Ballots were distributed to each of the jonin.

It was a piece of paper with the names of two candidates written on it.
