Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan - Chapter 850 Very Strange

As the information about the next stage being postponed reached the stands, the audience began to leave the Coloseum in groups of two and three. While orderly leaving, they couldn’t help but discuss the details of the two fights that they got to see today.

“Hahaha… Man… I really did not expect that I was able to see the legendary Susano’o with my own eyes!”

“It’s not as surprising for me. I had assumed that we would be able to see the power of Uchiha’s Susano’o… although… I had expected that it would be through Uchiha Shisui… not Uchiha Fugaku.”

“Yeah…. Who would have thought that the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan would also have the Legendary Mangekyou Sharingan… He is indeed an exceptional Shinobi… I heard that not even the Uchiha Clansmen knew about this.”

“I would say that buying the tickets was not in vain… both the fights were super exciting!”

“But man… the first fight… it was exciting, but it was also hard to understand. I still don’t get how Hyuga Kuroto defeated Uchiha Shisui… it was just too sudden, it doesn’t make any sense.”

“It’s not your fault buddy, as we are just ordinary villagers. There was a Jonin who was sitting next to me and he told me that even for him, it was quite difficult to understand what exactly happened at first, but he did make a guess…”

“I see… I see… so what exactly happened?”

“So, it’s like this…”

Similar conversations were unfolding everywhere. Undoubtedly, the two fights of the first stage of the Hokage Election were an eye-opener for the audience.

Compared to these fights of the Hokage Election, the Chunin exams held twice a year appear to be children’s games, and everyone couldn’t help but want to talk about it more and more.

And the ones most excited to talk about the two fights are none other than the Uchihas and the Hyugas.

After the first stage of elections, it’s quite clear that the next Hokage will either be an Uchiha Fugaku or Hyuga Kuroto.

In other words, either an Uchiha or a Hyuga!

If it was in the past, the Hyuga Clansmen would definitely choose to avoid any conflict with the Uchiha Clan, but now it’s different. Hyuga Kuroto defeated Uchiha Shisui Fair and Square in the first stage of the Hokage Election and he is one of the two candidates likely to become Godaime Hokage. The Hyuga Clansmen feel that if they become meek or admit defeat in front of Uchihas, then it would weaken Kuroto’s momentum in the final stage, so even if they were a little nervous, they gritted their teeth and chose to face the Uchihas head on.

On the side of Uchiha, many clansmen were angry and frustrated as they felt that Shisui’s defeat was unjust.

And this led to some friction between the two clans.

But with the timely intervention of the village authorities and restraint from the Patriarch of both clans, two sides were forcibly held back and returned back to their districts while swearing and cursing each other.

…

Uchiha District

Uchiha Shin–who was humiliated by Kuroto a few days ago–complained, “Patriarch, why didn’t you let me settle the account with that damn Hyuga? I would have taught him a lesson!”

After returning to his usual stern demeanour, Fugaku instructed, “Before I become Godaime Hokage, none of you are allowed to make any trouble. I don’t want you to give anyone any reason to pick our faults… understand, no mistakes are allowed!”

Although Fugaku feels that the Hyuga Clan won’t be able to make any big waves, out of caution, he still chose to exercise restraint on his subordinates.

“Agh… fine… but Fugaku-sama… after you become Godaime Hokage, I will definitely settle the account with that guy!”

No one has ever come this close to becoming Hokage, and none of the Uchiha Clansmen wants to do anything that would become a hurdle for Fugaku. Therefore, Shin willingly nodded and agreed to exercise restraint for a while.

…

Hyuga District

“If Kuroto were to become Godaime Hokage, I can finally show off to that damned Uchiha..!” spoke one of the older Hyuga shinobi with a smirk.

Another older Hyuga said with a smile, “Back when I heard that Kuroto has become the Principal of Konoha Ninja Academy, I knew that he would have great achievements in the future… Oh man, I was right. Ahhh…”

“Humph… you are talking about the day he became Principal… I knew that he would have great achievements in the future the day I saw Hima introduce him to me as a baby. His eyes had a sense of clarity you can not expect from a child.”

“Oh stop it you two… it doesn’t matter how early either of you realized that he would have great achievements… what’s important is now, where is he now? I want to congratulate him on his win, but I couldn’t find him anywhere.”

“Come to think of it… I did not see him after the fight… and Yui-chan too…”

“Give the young ones some privacy… the two of them must be together celebrating. It would be impudent to intrude on their private time.” Said another older Hyuga with a perverted smile.

*Smack*

“Ahh… what was that for wife?”

Suddenly everyone laughed.

While an amicable discussion was going on among the Hyugas, Kuroto and Yui had rushed to the betting stand to collect the money they won.

…

Somewhere outside Konoha

Standing on the edge of a cliff, Obito looked towards the distant Hokage Rock.

The Godaime Hokage Election is undoubtedly a major event that concerns all the major and minor organizations and groups in the Shinobi World. As the biggest opposition to the authority of the five great shinobi villages, Akatsuki is definitely paying special attention to this matter.

The leaders of Akatsuki aren’t sure if there would be some traps set up by Amatsukami in Konoha to ambush them, so only Obito and Zetsu were responsible for keeping a close watch as both of them are incredibly difficult to kill.

At this time, Zetsu came out of the ground and spoke, “First stage of the Godaime Hokage Election is completed, the ones to make it to the next round are Hyuga Kuroto and Uchiha Fugaku, as for the second stage… it was temporarily postponed because the Coloeum is badly damaged.”

“Is that so…?” muttered Obito with an absent-minded tone.

For some reason, the word ‘Hokage’ always hits him deeply and he would end up remembering the dream he has long buried in his heart.

Zetsu added with a smile, “Who would have thought that the informant you developed in Konoha would end up becoming one of the two candidates? If he continues to give us what we want, then perhaps we will be able to get more information on them… and maybe we will also be able to get our hands on Kyuubi without much trouble.”

Obito nodded absent-mindedly, “Yes.”

Noting Obito’s absent-minded tone, Zetsu commented, “You seem a bit strange today.”

Zetsu’s words pulled him back to god, and he snorted, “Humph… I was just thinking how pathetic Konoha has become that they would select someone like Kuroto to be one of the candidates.”

Zetsu glanced at Obito and added, “I was right… you do seem strange today. You are angry for some reason?”

“Angry? And me?” startled, Obito hurriedly shook his head, and explained, “Why would I be angry? I am just laughing at the ridiculous situation before me. When we were in the academy, that guy couldn’t even win against me… and now he has become a Hokage candidate? Isn’t this absurd?”

Zetsu shrugged, “I don’t think so… He did defeat Uchiha Shisui using his wit. Sometimes, strength isn’t everything, perhaps he has the brains to be Hokage that’s why he was nominated?”

“You…!” Obito was takenaback by Zetsu’s words and did not know how to counter him.

Zetsu once again spoke, “Yes… you are behaving very strangely today.”
