Uchiha’s God of Muscle - Chapter 170

The good news is.

The Uchiha clan defected from Konoha. Jiraiya wanted to become the fifth Hokage and no longer needed the votes of this clan.

In this case, the upcoming Jonin vote of confidence will undoubtedly be a good situation for Jiraiya.

first.

The jounin of the three clans, Sarutobi, Utatane, and Mitokado, will undoubtedly support Jiraiya.

Secondly.

The InoShikaCho clan of Konoha have always been staunch supporters of the Hokage clan and have been loyal to the Sandaime for decades. As long as he gives the order, they will vote for Jiraiya.

There is also the Hyuga clan.

This clan was also lured into the police force by the Sandaime and joined his command, so it was impossible to betray them.

Jiraiya couldn’t help but sigh that his mentor, the Sandaime, had already paved the way for him, allowing him to get half of the votes of Konoha jounin without any effort.

The rest are other small and medium-sized ninja clans and civilian jounin.

In the conference room.

The Sandaime looked serious and warned Jiraiya:

“Leave the votes of the four clans of Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi and Hyuga to me. Jiraiya, before tomorrow’s Jonin confidence vote begins, you have to visit other ninja clans more, the more votes you can get. The better, try to be foolproof.”

“I understand.”

Jiraiya responded solemnly.

Hearing this, the Sandaime nodded happily and showed a smile:

“Then, I look forward to handing the Hokage hat to you tomorrow. Get ready, Jiraiya.”

“I shall die for Konoha.”

Jiraiya’s eyes were firm.

At the same time, he also realized that today might be his last free day.

at dusk.

Jiraiya, who had been running around among the various ninja clans in the village for most of the day, dragged his tired body and unknowingly arrived at the gate of the ancestral home of the Senju clan.

He came here to meet someone.

Tsunade.

Because, among the tens of thousands of ninjas in Konoha, what Jiraiya hopes to get the most is Tsunade’s support for his upcoming Hokage.

However, what disappointed him was.

“Tsunade-sama just went out.”

It was Shizune who opened the door. She was holding a pet piggy in her arms and said to Jiraiya.

“Where did she go?” Jiraiya was stunned and asked quickly.

“It seems… She went to find Uchiha Dan.” Shizune frowned and made a guess.

When he heard Dan’s name, Jiraiya was immediately surprised.

ten minutes later.

The Uchiha clan land.

As soon as Jiraiya arrived here, he saw Tsunade’s back from a distance and walked into the Uchiha Muscle Modification Department building.

“…”

He was silent for a long time, and finally left sadly.

Muscle modification department, equipment area.

Duan had a huge gym to himself, sweating profusely while doing strength training.

What he enjoys most is the feeling of muscle soreness after exercise.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the door.

Bang.

Dan put down the barbell, picked up the towel on the side and wiped his sweat, then looked at the visitor.

“I agree to your terms. You teach me the Yin Escape Illusion Body Technique, and I teach you Yin Seal.”

Tsunade got straight to the point and seemed to have thought it through.

“Okay, that’s refreshing enough.”

Dan didn’t want to talk nonsense, and asked Tsunade to wait for a while at the Taijutsu dojo, “Let me take a shower first, and then we can start communicating.”

Tsunade crossed her arms and nodded: “Sure.”

The sun sets, the moon rises, and night falls.

In order to dispel Tsunade’s concerns and show his sincerity, Dan offered to teach Tsunade the Yin Escape Phantom Body Technique first.

To this, Tsunade naturally agreed happily.

So.

In the indoor dojo of the Muscle Modification Department, two figures came and went, fighting each other until late at night.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, Dan put on Uchiha’s high-collared blue robe, tied his belt, and prepared to go out.

Tsunade walked out of the side room and asked doubtfully: “Do you want to go out?”

“Today is the day for the Jonin vote of confidence. Jiraiya is going to be the Hokage. Don’t you plan to witness this historic moment?”

With a flash of his eyes, he extended an invitation to Tsunade.

Tsunade shook her head and yawned: “I’m not interested in joining in the fun.”

After saying that, she raised her hands, stretched out, turned around and went back to the room.

She and Dan practiced the Phantasmal Body Technique very late last night, which made her waist and back hurt, so she simply spent the night here, but it looked like she didn’t sleep very well and needed to catch up on some sleep.

Today seems to be a good day.

The wind was beautiful and the sun was clear, with no clouds in the sky, and a flock of birds soared over Konoha Village.

When Dan arrived in front of the Hokage Building, the place was already crowded with people. Tens of thousands of Konoha villagers were eagerly waiting for the official announcement of the candidate for the Fifth Hokage.

In this difficult period, Konoha needs a young and powerful new Hokage to boost the morale of all villagers and lead the village out of the trough.

Many people firmly believe that Lord Jiraiya is the chosen one.

Dan appearance caused a commotion in the crowd, and then——

Swish, swish, swish.

Gazes full of resentment and hatred came from all directions and fell on him.

If looks could kill, he would have died thousands of times by now.

In the eyes of the villagers, Uchiha is the root cause of Konoha’s current situation. Uchiha Dan is the biggest cancer parasitic on Konoha Village.

It is simply a shame for Konoha that such a person can sit in the position of Hokage’s assistant with dignity.

He didn’t care at all about the hostility of the villagers.

He walked straight into the Hokage Building and came to the rooftop, where all the Jounin of Konoha had gathered and were whispering.

after awhile.

As today’s protagonist, Jiraiya, the quasi-Fifth Hokage, finally appeared amidst everyone’s expectations.

They saw him walking out of the crowd alone, then turned around, faced everyone on the rooftop, and bowed.

Then, the Sandaime also walked to Jiraiya and announced in a deep voice:

“Then now, the Jonin confidence vote has officially begun. Those who support Jiraiya becoming the Fifth Hokage, please raise your hands.”

The words just fell.

Swish. Swish.

The jounin of the three clans, Sarutobi, Utatane, and Mitokado, immediately raised their hands.

Under their leading influence, some jounin from small and medium-sized ninja clans, as well as jounin from civilian backgrounds such as Might Guy, also raised their hands and voted in favor.

However, what is surprising is.

The jonins of the InoShikaCho tribes all stood there with their arms folded, but they did not raise their hands for a long time.

Hm?

Seeing this scene, the Sandaime couldn’t help but shrink his pupils and was surprised.

Only then did he realize that he might have made a mistake this time.

Yesterday, the Sandaime met with the clan leaders of the InoShikaCho tribes, and solemnly asked them to support Jiraiya in ascending to the throne.

He originally thought that the three tribes would listen to him as always, but unexpectedly, they had their own ideas.

The Sandaime was indeed careless, or in other words, he overestimated the weight of his “former Hokage” in other people’s hearts.

Not long ago.

In the battle between Konoha and Amegakure, the three clans of Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi fought as the main force of Konoha. As a result, they suffered heavy losses, and many elites were killed on the battlefield.

Among them, the Akimichi clan also lost the respected clan elder Akimichi Torifu.

For this reason, InoShikaCho was full of complaints against the Sandaime who had rashly launched a war, and he also had no favorable impression of Jiraiya, the Sandaime’s disciple.

The Sandaime came to see them yesterday. Although he seemed sincere and said he was for Konoha and the Will of Fire, he did not promise any specific benefits.

The three clans of InoShikaCho no longer do this.

At this time, they chose to use this method to express their protest and dissatisfaction to the Hokage family.

The third generation’s face became a little ugly.

His eyes temporarily moved away from the three InoShikaCho, and looked at the Hyuga clan on the side.

Since Uchiha left, the Hyuga clan has legitimately become the largest clan in Konoha. There are many jounin in the clan and they have a lot of say in the village.

As long as the Hyuga clan votes in favor, even without the votes of the InoShikaCho clans, Jiraiya can still successfully ascend to the position of Hokage.

Don’t let me down, Hiashi.

With such a mood, the Sandaime looked at Hyuga Hiashi with burning eyes, only to find that the latter had a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.

These days.

As the captain of the police department, Hyuga Hiashi gradually understood one thing.

The seemingly glorious police department is actually a hard job.

The patrol team of the police department is a profession that has both merits and demerits.

No matter how civilized the Hyuga clan is in enforcing the law, they will not get praise from the villagers for the orderly security work in Konoha Village, because in the eyes of many villagers, this is the job of the police department.

However.

Once the Police Department has conflicts or disputes with villagers on public security issues, they will often be accused by the villagers, saying that the Police Department members abused their power and lorded it over the villagers.

To put it simply, it is thankless.

If this continues, He is afraid that within a few years, the reputation of the Hyuga clan in Konoha will rapidly deteriorate, and sooner or later they will become the second Uchiha.

What dissatisfied Hyuga Hiashi the most is——

The police department is extremely busy every day, but most of them deal with trivial matters.

Whenever a major situation occurs, Konoha Anbu will immediately intervene, excluding the police department in the name of protecting the village and Hokage.

The result is.

The Police Department does not have much power, but its work is full of hardship, helplessness and sadness. The Hyuga clan, who had previously had a beautiful vision for the Police Department, increasingly feel disillusioned and deceived.

Now, Hyuga Hiashi can finally understand that Uchiha.

Why did the tribe abandon the police department?

He couldn’t help but think of the pitiful look Uchiha Fugaku gave him at the handover ceremony of the police department.

The Uchiha clan threw a pair of heavy shackles that had been on them for decades to the Hyuga clan.

Hyuga, on the other hand, happily put the shackles on himself, thinking he had found a treasure.

At the beginning.

When the Sandaime handed over the police department to the Hyuga clan, the Hyuga clan was grateful, but now they realize that this was a complete trap.

He finally saw the true face of the Sandaime.

Now, the Sandaime actually still fantasizes that the Hyuga clan will support his disciple Jiraiya to ascend to the position of Hokage.

It’s simply a dream.

So.

A group of Hyuga Ninja headed by Hinata Hiashi also adopted the same approach as the InoShikaCho clan. They crossed their arms and seemed not to raise their hands at all.

“Old man, what’s going on?”

Jiraiya also noticed something was wrong at this time and looked at the Sandaime in surprise.

If this continues, he will not be able to pass the jounin vote of confidence within Konoha and will miss the position of Hokage.

“interesting.”

When Dan saw this scene, he couldn’t help but laugh.

It seems that the Sandaime’s perverse behavior over the years has finally caused a backlash and completely exploded.

The current Konoha.

Already, the mountains are covered with trees, and various ethnic groups are fighting for their own interests. It has become a mess and can no longer be united.

This is a sign of destruction.

Time passes by minute by minute.

On the rooftop, just when the atmosphere reached a deadlock, Jiraiya was about to miss the fifth generation position.

Whoosh.

An Anbu suddenly appeared, knelt down on one knee in a panic and reported in a rapid tone:

“Lord Hokage, the Kingdom of Thunder suddenly declared war on the Kingdom of Fire. The Fourth Raikage led an army of 10,000 Kumogakure southward and has entered the Kingdom of Hot Water!”

What? !

Upon hearing the news, everyone present except Dan’s expressions changed.

The Kingdom of Hot Water is a small country sandwiched between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Thunder. It has always existed as a buffer zone between the two major countries.

During the Third Ninja War, the war between Konoha and Kumogakure started on the territory of the Country of Hot Water.

Now, is history repeating itself?

The third generation’s face became increasingly gloomy.

The situation he was most worried about finally happened.

Kumogakure suddenly declared war on Konoha, apparently taking advantage of Konoha’s weakness and planning to take advantage of it.

Is Dan secretly instigating this behind the scenes?

The Sandaime’s eyes flickered, and he cast an angry look at Dan.

The cross-section showed a sarcastic expression, and he looked at the Sandaime calmly.

At this time.

“Lord Hokage, the Daimyo has sent a remote video call. Please go to the conference room immediately.”

Another Anbu appeared and said this.

Although the Sandaime has announced his resignation as Hokage, these Anbu in Konoha have followed him for many years, and they are all loyal and only recognize him as Hokage.

“Let’s go to the conference room.”

The Sandaime didn’t dare to neglect, so he took Koharu, Homura and Jiraiya with him and hurriedly got off the rooftop.

All the Jounin in Konoha looked at each other and followed.

One minute later.

Nearly a hundred people poured into the conference room.

On the TV screen on the wall.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire was fanning himself and pacing back and forth, his face full of anxiety.

When he saw the Sandaime and others appearing, he immediately put away his folding fan, slapped it on the table, and then asked with all his face:

“What are you doing, are you still choosing Hokage here? The enemy’s army has arrived at the door of the Fire Country!”

At this time, the daimyo had an angry look on his face and lost his noble demeanor, completely different from the elegant and calm look he had yesterday.

That’s because he just had a conversation with the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder, asking the latter to explain the declaration of war, but he was ridiculed by the other party and became very angry.

Faced with the roar of the daimyo, everyone in Konoha looked at each other.

Hm?

Seeing that no one responded to his words, the daimyo’s angry eyes finally fell on Jiraiya:

“Jiraiya, you are the Fifth Hokage, tell me what you are going to do?”

He didn’t know that there was internal strife in Konoha and that Jiraiya failed to pass the Jonin vote of confidence. He thought that the other party had officially succeeded to the throne.

This is an opportunity.

Upon seeing this, the Sandaime immediately glanced at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, his expression became firm, and he made a firm promise to the daimyo on the spot:

“Daimyo-sama, please rest assured. I will personally lead the Konoha troops to the Country of Hot Water. I will stop the Kumogakure army at all costs and prevent the enemy from entering the border of the Country of Fire!”

After hearing Jiraiya’s words, the daimyo’s expression softened slightly.

“Okay, I hope you will not disappoint me, Godaime. In terms of logistics, the Country of Fire will provide Konoha with all necessary support.”

The daimyo calmed down and said this.

He just finished speaking.

“Emergency, Lord Daimyo!”

A minister of the Fire Nation suddenly appeared on the TV screen. After a fall, he ran to the daimyo and reported something to the latter.

Snap!

When the daimyo heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. His whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and the folding fan in his hand fell to the ground.
