Hokage: Ryo’s Path

The week-long Hokage election has been in full swing for three days.

In the past three days, Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru, and Yamanaka Ryo have been clenched tightly in terms of votes.

On the second day, Yamanakasco and Orochimaru once surpassed Namikaze Minato and became the first place, but then Namikaze Minato overtook them.

In the meeting room of the Yamanaka Clan, the patriarchs of the Inoka Butterfly Clan have been paying attention to the Hokage election.

"These three days are basically small fights. From tomorrow, the major families will almost intervene?" Yamanaka Hai asked after taking a look at Nara Shikajiu.

"Well, it should be like this." Nara Shikahisa frowned and responded.

Nara Shikahisa's expression was too serious, Akimichi Dingza was a little strange, and immediately asked: "Shikaku, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just wondering why that person hasn't moved yet."

"Well, indeed. If you don't come today, you can only come tomorrow." Before Yamanaka Kai could finish his sentence, a member of the Yamanaka Clan ran in in a hurry.

"Patriarch, Lord Lujiu, Lord Ding Zuo, Danzo asks to see you."

When the three of them heard that Danzo was coming, their eyes lit up. After waiting for two days, Danzo finally couldn't bear it anymore.

In the front hall of the Yamanaka clan, the patriarchs of the Zhuludie clan appeared at the same time, because they were in the Yamanaka clan's territory, Yamanaka Haiyi greeted Danzo very warmly: "Master Danzo, long time no see!"

"Three, long time no see!" Danzo responded lightly.

After the four of them were seated, Danzo straight to the point said the purpose of his trip: "Three patriarchs, how will Hokage withdraw from this Hokage election?"

Danzo was ready to bleed a lot this time, and facing Konoha's smartest person, Nara Shikahisa, there was no need to hide.

"Master Danzo is so frank, we don't talk nonsense, our three clans want the entire Konoha medical system." Nara Shikahisa put forward their conditions.

Danzo will come as early as the first day Shikaku Nara thought of it. That's why he met with the Yamanaka Clan, Yamanaka Kaiichi, and Akido Dingza to discuss how to deal with Danzo.

Nara Shikajiu had calculated everything a long time ago. With his operation, Yamanaka Ryo has a 50% chance of overpowering Namikaze Minato and becoming Hokage.

But Nara Shikahisa did not expect that Yamanaka Ryo was not willing to be Hokage at all, which disrupted Nara Shikahisa's overall plan.

In the Hokage campaign in the original book, Orochimaru and Danzo are in a cooperative relationship. Orochimaru wants to become Hokage so that he has the right to mobilize more resources for his research, while Danzo wants to further control Konoha by manipulating Orochimaru.

But at the moment, on the second day of the Hokage election, Danzo approached Orochimaru and proposed cooperation.

Today's Orochimaru is different from the original period, and some of the techniques and ideas provided by Yamanaka Ryo are enough for him to study.

Therefore, Orochimaru has no interest in being Hokage, which will delay his time.

But just yesterday, Yamanaka Ryo came to find Orochimaru specifically, and asked Orochimaru to put down the experiment in hand and cooperate with him to hide it once.

Orochimaru was a little reluctant at first, his research on the first generation of cells had reached a critical point, and he didn't want to waste time.

Yamanaka Ryo guessed that Orochimaru would refuse, so he decisively took out a dead body.

Orochimaru's eyes lit up after observing the characteristics of Bai Jue's corpse. Bai Jue's special body was too attractive to Orochimaru, and Orochimaru decisively agreed to Yamanaka Ryo's request.

In this way, Danzo reached a cooperation with Orochimaru.

Therefore, in order to support Orochimaru's supremacy, Danzo came to the Yamanaka Clan and asked Yamanakato to withdraw from the election, reducing a strong contender for the Hokage position.

"Konoha's entire medical system, this request is too much!" Danzo shook his head and refused directly.

After that, it was the two of them arguing, Yamanaka Kaiichi and Akido Dingza listening to it drowsily.

In the end, after dozens of minutes of negotiation, the two sides reached a consensus. Danzo directly handed over the control of Konoha Hospital to the Inoka Butterfly clan. Namikaze Minato cannot be supported in the election.

On the fourth day of the election, Kaiichi Yamanaka publicly announced on behalf of the Yamanaka clan that Ryo Yamanaka withdrew from the Hokage election on the grounds that Ryo Yamanaka was too young and lacked qualifications.

Haiichi Yamanaka's reason was perfect. After all, Toto Yamanaka was really only 14 years old, but it was just subconsciously ignored by everyone.

After Yamanakato withdrew from the election, only Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru could become Hokage.

On the fourth day of the election, Yamanakato's sudden withdrawal made it too late for Konoha's major families to make a move, so the number of votes on the fourth day did not change much.

The number of votes in the election on the fifth day changed dramatically. Due to Danzo’s operation, Konoha’s small and medium-sized families all chose to support Orochimaru.

"Brother Minato, why are you not in a hurry at all?" Yuan Yamanaka asked at the third training ground looking at the calm and breezy Namikaze Minato.

"Yuan, don't make sarcastic remarks, Minato must look calmer, so don't provoke him." Kushina said after glaring at Ryo Yamanaka.

"Sister Kushina, you misunderstood. I just want to say that Brother Minato doesn't have to worry about the current situation." Yamanaka Ryo quickly explained to Kushina.

"Why don't you worry? The current situation is very unfavorable for Minato!" Kushina asked a little strangely.

"It's very simple! Because Brother Minato is a commoner ninja, Konoha's high-level executives are generally family ninjas, and it is difficult for commoner ninjas to succeed. Finally, a genius emerged among the commoner ninjas. The commoners and ordinary ninjas of Konoha will definitely support Brother Minato. .Compared with the villagers and ordinary ninjas, the base of family ninjas is too small, and the last one must be the Minato brother who wins."

Yamanakato told Kushina the main reason why Kazunami Minato was selected as the Fourth Hokage in the original book.

"But now Minato's votes are so far behind, I'm still worried." Kushina said sullenly.

"Actually, Uncle Snake doesn't want to be Hokage at all, sister Kushina, don't worry!" Yamanaka Ryo didn't want to see Kushina's frowning face, so he simply said what Orochimaru thought.

Hearing this news, Namikaze Minato, who had not reacted until now, frowned, and asked Yamanaka Ryo: "Ru, you said that Oshemaru-senpai doesn't want to be Hokage? What's going on?"

"Literally speaking, Uncle Snake has his work to do, and being Hokage is a complete waste of time for him."

"You are not interested in Hokage, Jiraiya-sensei doesn't want to be Hokage, and Sakumo-senpai is the same, but now even Orochimaru-senpai doesn't want to be Hokage, doesn't that mean that I have been worrying for nothing all this time?" Kushina Hearing the words, I couldn't believe it.

"That's it. The position of Hokage was only wanted by Brother Minato from the beginning, but even if we want to compete with Brother Minato, we don't have much chance."

Things really happened as Yamanaka Ryo said. On the sixth day, civilians and ordinary ninjas worked hard, and the support rate of Namikaze Minato continued to rise, surpassing Orochimaru.

On the seventh day, the two largest families in Konoha, Uchiha and Hinata, both chose to support Namikaze Minato.

After seeing Uchiha and Hinata's votes, Yamanaka Ryo understood why Namikaze Minato had been so calm. It turned out that he had already dealt with Uchiha and Hinata secretly.

In this way, the position of the Fourth Hokage is finally settled, and as in the original book, the Fourth Hokage is still Namikaze Minato.
