Others, either acting discreetly or harboring ulterior motives, quietly stepped forward and deposited their votes into the box.
No one else has any way of knowing the true number of votes.
The ballot box was engraved with a sealing talisman, so even if the Hyuga clan members used their Byakugan, they couldn't see what kind of votes were cast inside.
The ballots were distributed a week ago. Each ballot must clearly state who you voted for and include your full name.
Finally, to prevent anyone from causing trouble, everyone had to leave a small chakra mark.
If anyone is unable to return in time, they must inform the secret service in advance which candidate they wish to vote for, and the secret service will record it carefully.
Even after the Hokage is elected, this ballot box must be properly sealed away.
This is the fairest way possible.
According to the rules, both active and retired Jonin have the right to vote.
But in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, there are only a few hundred Jonin combined.
Don't underestimate the "Twelve Little Strongmen"
The teachers are all Jonin, because they are all extraordinary individuals.
In general, it's already quite good if a genin team has a special jonin as its leader.
Most of the time, it was Chunin who were leading the teams.
For many Jonin, mentoring Genin is a complete waste of time and energy.
It would be better to use that time to take on more jobs.
Because there are so few Jonin, those who want to become Hokage focus their efforts on the veteran ninja clans.
Only those ancient and prestigious families can continuously cultivate Jonin (high-ranking ninja).
Many Jonin have retired and are quite old, but their votes are still very effective.
At this point, it comes down to who has the strongest financial foundation.
Kawasaki didn't send too many people up; he just sent a few to stuff all the ballots into the ballot box.
The Hyuga clan did the opposite, sending out a number of Jonin in turn.
In this way, the power of the Hyuga clan is fully displayed.
However, no one knows for sure who they voted for.
Despite Tsunade not campaigning much before the election, a number of medical ninjas lined up to vote for her.
Unless it is wartime, medical ninjas rarely go to the front lines, so there is basically no need to worry about them being lost.
Moreover, the number of Jonin among the medical ninjas is much greater than expected.
The number of Jonin in a village should theoretically be kept secret.
However, as one of the Five Great Nations, Konoha Village values openly flexing its muscles.
Instead of trying to hide and prevent outsiders from sneaking in to spy,
It would be better to be more open and let spies from various countries see it clearly.
Look at us, Konoha is just that awesome!
With four lanes below, the voting was completed in less than half an hour.
Next came the vote counting, and Kawasaki, Orochimaru, and Tsunade all struck almost the same pose.
With arms crossed in front of the chest.
He looks confident and assured.
But the meanings behind their confidence can be quite different.
Kawasaki had no idea what others were planning.
However, Kawasaki had barely scanned the venue when the system started beeping incessantly.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for significantly altering Sarutobi Asuma's life path.]
Congratulations on obtaining the following technique: Fire Release: Ashes Burn x1 (can be replaced with a similar ninjutsu).
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for significantly altering Kurenai Yuhi's life path.]
Congratulations on obtaining the following item: Sakura Mina Technique x1
[Ding! Congratulations, Host 997, for significantly altering Anko Mitarashi's life path.]
Congratulations on obtaining the following: Incomplete Cursed Seal x1 (can be exchanged for a similar ninjutsu).
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for significantly altering Sai's life path.]
Congratulations on obtaining the following item: Super Beast Imitation Painting - Eagle X1
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully recruited Sai.]
Congratulations! You have obtained the following: Painting Talent or Replacement of an Existing Talent x1.
The series of system notifications gave Kawasaki a headache.
Kawasaki, upon seeing this, could only say that it had both advantages and disadvantages.
He killed Hidan, which directly changed the fate of Asuma and Kurenai.
I just haven't seen Asma and his wife yet.
The same goes for saving Sai's brother; I only just saw it and it was triggered now.
But why are red beans involved?
What happened to her?
Kawasaki was a little confused, and could only attribute it to the changes caused by Orochimaru.
The ninjutsu Asuma and Kurenai received as rewards were a bit underwhelming.
Let's not even talk about Kurenai, since the Uchiha clan still exists.
Ashes burn...
You're the son of a Hokage, yet your Fire Release technique is so weak.
Fire-type ninjutsu is useless to the Uchiha clan, since Kawasaki knows every technique.
Kawasaki thought for a moment and then replaced it with Great Fire Annihilation X1.
Red Bean's "incomplete curse seal" left Kawasaki somewhat puzzled.
The above effect is: to perceive Orochimaru through continuous pain.
Chapter 219 I'm withdrawing from the Hokage election!
Thinking about it, it seems that the red bean's curse seal does indeed have this function, but Kawasaki still feels that something is not right.
Kawasaki didn't need this one, so he replaced it with the complete version of the cursed seal. Now he has two cursed seals.
It must be said that the cursed seal provided Kawasaki with great convenience on the battlefield of the Land of Water.
Sai's Super Beast Imitation Drawing is useful; it allows him to fly.
After dealing with things here, I should go find Onoki to collect the debt.
Did I not expect Sai to be so devoted to Orochimaru now?
Kawasaki was speechless when he saw Sai's talent for drawing.
If it can't be replaced, wouldn't it be useless?
Kawasaki opened the window and saw that there was only one valuable talent that could be replaced: Illusion Mastery.
Kawasaki frowned in thought; it seemed that this was what the system meant by optimization.
Give him whatever he lacks.
Kawasaki chose to change his Archery Mastery to Illusion Mastery.
All the mistakes I made when using illusion magic in the past came flooding back to my mind.
It seems I can make up for my weakness in illusion magic in the future.
During the vote counting process, the Third Hokage sent one person to count the votes, and each candidate sent one person to stand at the back to prevent cheating.
The Third Hokage sent a Jonin from the Sarutobi clan to count the votes.
Orochimaru's side sent out their number one, standing behind him; Kawasaki Uchiha's side sent out Shisui; and Tsunade's side sent out Shizune.
When the votes were counted, everyone below fell silent.
Sasuke kept his eyes fixed on the stage. He didn't have a deep understanding of the Hokage, but he knew that his father had always hoped that the Uchiha clan could produce a Hokage.
Naruto's childhood dream was to become Hokage, but after experiencing the sweetness of family love, he forgot about becoming Hokage.
He has family, friends, and people who love him now, so he doesn't need to be Hokage at all.
After initially learning the true identity of the Third Hokage, he hated the word "Hokage" for a time, but later learned that his father was the Fourth Hokage.
As he grew older, he was able to view the title "Naruto" with greater equanimity.
Some time ago, Kawasaki told Naruto that once the Fifth Hokage was chosen, he would let him meet his father.
So right now, Naruto just wants to finish the election for the Fifth Hokage as soon as possible.
He would be happy whether Kawasaki-senpai or Tsunade-neechan were elected.
As for Orochimaru, he wasn't very familiar with him and had no idea what he meant by Orochimaru.
However, someone who can heal Uncle Fugaku and Brother Itachi's eyes must be a decent person.
A huge screen was erected behind the square, displaying the names of Uchiha Kawasaki, Orochimaru, and Tsunade.
The vote count is shown below.
Before the vote counting began, three more boxes were brought out, these boxes were smaller than the previous ballot boxes.
The three boxes each had the name of one of the three candidates written on them.
When the song reaches this person's name, just put the ticket in.
If there are any objections, tickets can be checked on the spot.
