----------

As more and more people spoke up, the atmosphere gradually became heated. Many people chose to nominate Ishigami Hara to become Hokage. When Ishigami Fū and others spoke, others immediately followed.

"Ishigami Hara is very good. He defeated the enemy several times on the battlefield and saved many people. If he becomes Hokage, I think many people will be convinced."

"That's right. Ishigami Hara is extremely talented. He is likely to become the second god of shinobi. Choosing him as Hokage can ensure that our Konoha will continue to be strong."

"Yes, it can also shock others!"

"I also choose Ishigami Hara!"

"I vote for Ishigami Hara!"

As more and more people spoke enthusiastically, the number of votes Ishigami Hara received also increased. It seemed that the ending was already destined to be a draw.

But at this time, some people still made different voices.

"I vote for Jōnin Nawaki. He is just as young, has mastered the Wood Release, and is the grandson of the First Hokage. If he becomes Hokage, I think he will make a difference in the village."

The crowd was quiet for a while, and many people cast their votes at that person. When they found out that he was a civilian ninja, they thought that this move was reasonable.

The reason was that the person who spoke was named Senju.

At the top, the two advisors looked at each other, and when they heard someone call out Nawaki's name, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This was not surprising, because after Nawaki, someone else called out Jiraiya's name, and even Hatake Sakumo's name.

Hatake Sakumo immediately stood up and waved his hands: "I can't do it."

"Jōnin Hatake has the ability."

"No, no, no, I can't do it."

Hatake Sakumo said he was unwilling to do anything. He had realized that if he got involved at this time, it was hard to say whether he could win, but it would definitely be easy to be hated.

Ishigami Hara might not hate him, but those who supported Ishigami Hara might not.

In this way, the nomination continued. As time went by, Ishigami Hara's votes were always far ahead, and even at the end, there was a cliff-like difference between him and the second place.

Finally, the meeting came to an end. Everyone had said what they should say, and the rest needed to be counted.

Everyone looked at the long number of votes on the blackboard. Some breathed a sigh of relief, while others had no expression.

"Ishigami Hara one vote!"

"Ishigami Hara one vote!"

"Ishigami Hara one vote!"

"Ishigami Hara one vote!"

"Ishigami Hara one vote!"

"Nawaki one vote!"

"Hatake Sakumo one vote!"

"Nawaki one vote!"

"Ishigami Hara one vote!"

"Jiraiya one vote!"

"Jiraiya one vote!"

"Jiraiya one vote!"

In fact, this process can be completely omitted, because anyone with a discerning eye can see the result, but this process is indispensable.

Soon the results came out, Akimichi took the result and took a deep breath, glanced below, and then said in a deep voice: "According to the results of the election, Ishigami Hara Jōnin received 322 votes, Jiraiya Jōnin received 76 votes, Hatake Sakumo Jōnin received 21 votes, Nawaki Jōnin received 7 votes..."

After Nawaki, there were three other people, but the number of votes was only a pitiful three darts.

"After the Jōnin meeting, three candidates for Hokage have been selected, namely Ishigami Hara Jōnin, Jiraiya Jōnin, and Hatake Sakumo Jōnin."

The two consultants beside him looked gloomy, obviously not satisfied with the result, but the result has come out, and at this point in time, even if they want to change it, it is impossible to do so.

After all, it is a Jōnin meeting, even if the two consultants have some power, they cannot affect this election, and the result is already set in stone.

"Among the three candidates, Ishigami Hara Jōnin has the most votes."

"Based on the principle of leading in votes, if no one objects, he will officially become a candidate for Hokage! Everyone, the Jōnin class will show the results of this election to the village, and will also inform the daimyo of the results."

"With the daimyo's consent, Ishigami Hara Jōnin can officially succeed to the position of Hokage!"

Ishigami Hara sat in the middle of the meeting, with a faint smile on his face, nodding slightly to the people around him, as if he was not surprised by the result.

At this time, the meeting hall was already in a mess, and the people in the circle were cheering.

"Ishigami Hara is worthy of it, amazing!"

"We support Ishigami Hara to become Hokage, Ishigami Hara , please lead the village to a higher position!"

"Ishigami Hara!"

"Hahaha!"

Obviously, this result satisfied many people.

If only a part of people supported Ishigami Hara at first, then as the meeting progressed, many of them were swept up in an inexplicable atmosphere and voted for Ishigami Hara.

This kind of followers are the mainstream. They don't have too many opinions. It's doubtful that they are not particularly sensitive to many things, but they can subconsciously distinguish which ones are good and which ones are bad, so they follow the trend and vote for Ishigami Hara.

And it is often this kind of people who are most easily affected by the atmosphere, and the current state is almost like this.

At the top, after Akimichi Torifu finished talking about the results, the two consultants looked at each other, stood up one after another without any words, and left directly.

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was working with his head down, seemingly never affected by certain things, and his attention was devoted to his work.

Bang!

The door was pushed open, and Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu came in one after another. After sitting down, the latter said directly: "Hiruzen, it's already this time, can you still calm down? The results have come out over there, and Ishigami Hara, that kid, succeeded!"

Mitokado Homura also frowned and said in a deep voice: "Hiruzen, you must find a way to stop him. Now the only chance is to rely on the daimyo."

Utatane Koharu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, even if the Jōnin meeting has already reached a result, if the daimyo does not agree, then he will not be able to sit firmly on the position of Hokage, and it will even affect the relationship between the village and the Land of Fire!"

Mitokado Homura nodded: "Hiruzen, you can't hesitate. If you don't do something, you really won't have any chance."

Obviously, even now, the two of them can't accept Sarutobi Hiruzen being replaced and Ishigami Hara becoming the new Hokage.

Because in that case, the two of them will inevitably lose power with Sarutobi Hiruzen, which is not what they want to see.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the pen in his hand, stretched his neck, sighed slightly, and then shook his head.

"I don't intend to do this."

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu looked at each other, both of them were surprised.

"Hiruzen, now is not the time to be willful!" Utatane Koharu advised.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and took out his pipe to light it. After taking a puff, he said: "Some rules cannot be broken. Since it is the result of the Jōnin class's recommendation, I will naturally abide by it as a Hokage."

"Hiruzen, what do you think?" Mitokado Homura was also anxious.

Sarutobi Hiruzen just shook his head: "Ishigami Hara became Hokage, this matter cannot be changed by me, and you can't change it either, just accept it."
