Hokage: Start By Prying Hinata Away

While the two were panicking and guessing, Utatane Koharu had already pulled out the water from the grapes.

There are countless grape seeds inside!

‘Has the poison been put into the grape seeds so as not to leave traces? ! ’

Gangzitie was shocked.

Snap, snap, snap.

When Utatane Koharu put the grape seeds in the bowl, she breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

With a slight smile on his lips, he said: "Lord Daimyo, it's done!"

The daimyo's worried heart also sank.

He said angrily: "Fortunately, the bed consultant is very cautious, otherwise I'm afraid I'll get..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a hint of coquettishness and shyness on Utatane Koharu's face...?

"Open your mouth, ah~"

Utatane Koharu took a plump grape with no seeds and stuffed it into the daimyo's mouth.

The daimyo was stunned for a moment. When the grape came within one centimeter of his mouth,

He asked: "Can these grapes still be eaten?"

"Ah? Of course! These are seedless grapes that I have used decades of experience in medical ninjutsu to perfectly remove the grape seeds inside! Guaranteed not to have a single grape seed!"

Utatane Koharu smiled confidently.

The daimyo frowned, his brain was working rapidly, and he suddenly understood something.

"You...did you peel the grapes for me because of the words I complained about?"

"Yes, these are all grapes that I peeled with great care."

A hint of shyness appeared on Utatane Koharu's face.

The daimyo's eyes widened when he heard this.

He yelled angrily: "You, you, you! The point of what I said was peeling grapes! She is a beauty! Do you understand, a beauty? Why are you, an old woman, joining in the fun! Are you considered a beauty too!"

Hearing the daimyo's curse, the grapes in Utatane Koharu's hands were crushed directly.

"I remember that I was just a flower in the village back then! You actually called me an old woman!"

Among the old women in Tsunade, she had already accumulated her anger points. When she heard the name call her an old woman, and her efforts were not valued, she immediately broke her guard.

"Back then! Your days were decades ago, right? Don't even think about spending more money on me!"

When Gang Zitie, whose brain was in a state of confusion, heard the two of them arguing, it no longer mattered what the truth was.

He realized it was his turn!

He quickly pulled Utatane Koharu out of the VIP room, and at the same time smiled and apologized to the daimyo.

"Zitie, don't pull me, I have to teach him a lesson!"

'you? Teach the Daimyo a lesson? ’

Gang Zitie rolled his eyes at her while advising.

"Forget it, forget it, Mr. Advisor, please spare the name for once."

The only advantage of this VIP room is that the sound insulation effect is much better.

As an ordinary person, the daimyo could not hear the two talking outside the door.

The daimyo in the room was still extremely angry.

"Stinky old woman! If it weren't for little Tsunade, I would definitely no longer contribute to Konoha's finances!"

The entire village of Konoha experienced a financial crisis without knowing anything, and the reason turned out to be a bunch of grapes.

…

The next day, the day of the Hokage election.

After these days of publicity, everyone in the village knew that the election ceremony for the fifth Hokage was about to begin.

This is the most important day in the village, a moment that will be recorded in the history of the village.

Basically all the villagers stopped what they were doing and came to the Hokage building to watch.

Aside from the time when Minato died in Namikaze and Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to power, the last official election was when Yellow Flash became the Fourth Hokage.

Thirteen years have passed since that election.

On the top of the Hokage building, Gang Zitie and Shenyue Izumo had already made arrangements for the ceremony.

Rows of civilian Jōnin and Jōnin from various clans lined up, all holding prepared ballots in their hands.

There is a huge ballot box on the edge of the building's roof.

On either side stood the Daimyo, Tsunade and Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was just here to make up the numbers, so that the election would not be so fake.

But in fact, most people know that this time it is just a process, and the daimyo and advisors have already begun to let Tsunade handle some tasks that can only be handled by Hokage.

The main reason is that the village is in urgent need of a new leader to stabilize people's hearts.

Jiraiya is unwilling to be a Hokage, so Tsunade is the second best candidate.

After seeing that almost all the Jōnin from the important families had arrived, Utatane Koharu walked to the edge of the roof and shouted: "The voting for this Hokage election has begun!"

The moment her voice fell, everyone in the Hokage downstairs started talking.

"It's finally started! I've been waiting for half an hour!"

"Who will be on Fifth Generation?"

"Of course it's Master Jiraiya!"

"It's clearly Tsunade-sama!"

"Tsunade-sama has a broad mind and will definitely lead Konoha to a bright future!"

"Are you serious about your ambition?"

"Just tell me whether it's big or not."

Feng'an, who was also in the audience, was stunned for a while when he heard the conversation of these people.

Although he has become far more powerful than Jōnin, he is actually still just a Genin.

Therefore, he is not even qualified to vote.

If Hinata hadn't called this the most important historical moment in Konoha and wanted to come and see it, he would rather sleep at home.

'Still paying so much attention to form, the whole Jiraiya is forced to stand on it,'

Feng'an shook his head slightly, then took a bite of the glutinous rice dumpling in his hand.

"Feng'an, who do you think will be the fifth Hokage?" Hinata also gnawed on the glutinous rice dumplings and asked.

Ask me this? Isn't this equivalent to an open-book exam?

Feng An smiled and said, "Tsunade, after all, she is the granddaughter of First Hokage."

Hinata nodded in agreement.

On the rooftop of the Hokage Building, Jōnin stepped forward one by one to vote in the red ballot box.

After the voting ends, the votes are tallied and the one with the most votes will become the Hokage.

After the common people Jōnin cast their votes, the next step was for Jōnin from each major family to vote.

Of course, members of the Hyuga clan are among them.

Soon, all Jōnin votes were completed.

Utatane Koharu said: "Izumo, let's count the votes."

"yes."

Kamizuki Izumo walked respectfully to the ballot box and started counting the votes one by one.

The first one says Jiraiya.

Shenyue Izumo knew this very well, so he didn't show any emotion on his expression.

He knew this was a trick by their top brass, and deliberately sent a few Jōnin to vote for Jiraiya, so that the people could witness the Hokage election instead of what had been decided.

Except for a few pictures of Jiraiya, the last few pictures all have Tsunade's name.

But Shenyue Izumo still looked very serious about cleaning up.

Just as he opened the next ticket,

There was a sudden pause, and he suspected that he had seen it wrong.

how can that be possible?

He closed his eyes and opened them again.

The ticket still says, Feng'an.

"Why is there his name?!"

Hyuga Hiashi, who was in the distance, saw the stunned expression of Izumo Kamizuki, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
