Chapter 468: Who Has Any Objections?
Land of Fire, Great Mansion.
It was the first time Aoba came here, and the two consultants who accompanied him were naturally Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hashi.
The reason was very simple. Homura and Koharu, the two old helpers, actually crossed the center of Konoha's power and directly brought this matter to the great name, wanting the Damyo to make the decision for them.
It had to be said that this move was very rough and useful.
After all, the political system of the Naruto World was very strange, and the appointment of the Hokage was actually issued through his name.
But in fact, most of the time, it was just a formality. For the real Hokage candidate, Konoha was still the one who had the final say. It was all to determine the candidate's name. Later on, the name of the Hokage was given a sense of respect, and finally, it was done with a seal and a letter of appointment.
Then why did the name of the 'Damyo' become much more important this time?
Of course, it was because there was no leader in Konoha, and there was no one who could make the final decision, and the opinions of the higher-ups in Konoha were divided into two groups, unable to make a choice as soon as possible.
Therefore, at this time, the importance of fame was reflected. Whoever got the support of the great name might win in the end.
"Please come in, the great name will be here soon."
After following the waiter into the conference room, Aoba immediately saw the two reckless old gang members, Homura and Koharu. If these two old gang members did not suddenly jump out of the coffin again, even if Jiraya came back, things would not have become so troublesome.
Aoba had already decided that regardless of whether he would succeed or not, he would definitely kill these two old bastards!
"Hmph!"
When the two old bastards saw Aoba appear with the two consultants, they immediately snorted coldly.
The relationship between the two sides was already about the same as falling out. Whoever lost would be eliminated.
Naturally, there was no need for them to pretend to be polite anymore.
As for Jiraya, he had been resting in his chair with his eyes closed. No one knew what he was thinking.
In fact, even Homura and Koharu didn't know what Jiraya was going to do. He was very depressed!
Aoba was too lazy to bother with these two old bastards who were destined to be punished.
After taking their seats, the two sides were clearly divided. The atmosphere was a bit tense. On the contrary, Jiraya was like an outsider, as if he was asleep.
Not long after, the famous person walked in with a yawn and sat on the main seat.
"You are Shinomiya Aoba? As the rumors say, heroes come from youths. I am very optimistic about your future."
As soon as they met, the famous person looked at Aoba and said with a smile.
However, although it looked like he was praising Aoba, both of them could hear the implication of the famous person.
What do you mean by 'looking forward to your future'?
Aoba's face sank and he frowned slightly. On the other hand, Homura and Koharu subconsciously revealed a proud smile.
The situation was very strange. There was no joy on his face when he was praised. Instead, he had an expression of victory that was not mentioned.
"Since everyone is here, let's start quickly. I have to go back and rest later. Yawn..."
The Damyo yawned again, not sure if it was because he had overworked himself last night.
"Your name is great. The two people who are qualified to be the 5th Hokage are already sitting here. The situation has already been explained before, so now I want to hear your opinion." Homura directly said, not giving Aoba people a chance to speak.
As for what the situation was like before?
Then only they knew about it.
It was a bit despicable, but it was within the rules.
"Oh, ask for my opinion. It's really troublesome. Just him. I believe that the disciple of Hiruzen should be able to fulfill his duties as the Hokage."
"If there are no objections, you should quickly bring the appointment documents back. Don't delay my rest."
After casually pointing at Jiraya, Homura and Koharu were so excited that they almost stood up.
Fugaku and Hiashi looked at each other and saw deep regret in each other's eyes.
They had tried their best, but they still fell on the last step. How could they not feel pity?
Only Aoba, who had guessed this would happen, remained expressionless.
But at this time, Jiraya who seemed to be asleep suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I have an objection."
"Jiraya! What are you doing? Are you crazy?" Koharu was so anxious that he wanted to kill Jiraya, this bastard, and the other side didn't have an objection, so why would he raise an objection?
"Sorry, Damyo. Maybe Jiraya is too excited. We have no objection." Homura immediately said.
"No, I have an objection. It has always been your idea to let me be the Hokage, not mine, right?"
"You! Do you want your teacher to die with grievance?"
"Even if Sarutobi-sensei is still here, he will follow my own wishes and not force me to do anything."
The two old helpers were so angry that their faces turned ashen, trembling and unable to speak.
Then Jiraya sat up straight and calmly said, "I want to quit the elections of the 5th Hokage."
"Are you sure? You really don't want to be the Hokage?" Instead of getting angry, he suddenly looked at Jiraya with interest, not even yawning, full of energy.
Jiraya nodded, "The position of the Hokage has never been what I pursue. I am very sure about this. But if possible, I hope you can appoint me as the Hokage."
Should I become the Hokage?
Crazy, really crazy!
Hiruzen, look at these good disciples you have taught!
Homura and Koharu were so angry that they collapsed on the chair and completely gave up.
"You don't want to be the Hokage? Can I ask why?" The famous person was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously.
"Probably. I'm worried."
Coincidentally, after saying this, Jiraya looked at Aoba.
Aoba didn't look surprised at such a sudden reversal. Instead, his expression was a bit ugly.
Although he wanted the position of Hokage to complete the mission issued by the system, after he had already lost to Jiraya, he gave him the 'indifferent' position.
What was this?
And why did Jiraya, who didn't want to be the Hokage, specifically ask for the position of the Hokage?
Who was the one who was worried?
The answer was obvious.
Jiraya wanted to keep an eye on him!
Moreover, he wanted to bet on the position of Hokage!
If he did well after becoming the Hokage, then naturally he could leave without worry, or this was what Jiraya wanted.
But if...
