After the strategy of the second stage was formulated, Fuyue and Tsunade acted quickly, running to the various families of Konoha with various gifts every day and making empty checks.

On Fuyue's side, there are ninjutsu scrolls and training experience treasured by the Uchiha clan, which is a real benefit, and it is very attractive to those small families that are in decline.

Tsunade has the prestige of the founders of Sannin and Konoha medical systems. If she chooses in person, she can even beat Mai Uchiha and Minato, and it will be equally beneficial.

The campaign team went both ways, and soon succeeded in winning over many small families that were in decline, and at the same time made some big families with ambiguous attitudes to favor Uchiha Mai.

With this heavy punch, Orochimaru and Minato, especially Orochimaru, really couldn't take it.

Uchiha Mai has himself, Fuyue, the patriarch of the most powerful ninja family in the ninja world, and Sannin Tsunade Hime, who have records, favors, and fame.

There is only one loner in Orochimaru.

One-on-three, there is no possibility of victory. If you want to turn the situation around, you can only seek foreign aid and form your own campaign team.

With the idea of ​​trying it out, Orochimaru took the lead in finding Sarutobi Hizen, hoping to get the support of the three generations of Hokage.

Sarutobi Hipsan is the leader of the Hokage family. I don't know how many direct descendants of Join, and winning the support of Sarutobi Hizen is equal to winning half.

However, Sarutobi Hiizhan unsurprisingly refused Orochimaru's request.

This old man is the referee of this election. If I support a certain candidate and stand for you, Orochimaru, wouldn't it be unfair to the other two candidates?

So Orochimaru, you'd better ask Gao Ming.

Having suffered a setback here, Orochimaru turned around and visited Shimura Danzo, hoping to win the support of Sarutobi Hiizan's biggest political enemy.

Shimura Danzo has resumed his post, and he has roots under his hands. He has a good relationship with Koharu and Mito Gate.

Although Danzo has a bad relationship with the rest of Konoha, it is a big ticket warehouse, and it is something that Orochimaru must win.

On the Danzo side, there is really no one to support except Orochimaru.

Uchiha Mai has a bad relationship with him, and Minato is a person supported by Sarutobi Hizen. Orochimaru was okay, but only stabbed him once or twice in the back.

The two hit it off and returned to their former intimate state, as if Orochimaru had never left the Danzo camp from beginning to end.

On the other hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who refused to endorse Orochimaru on the grounds of fairness and justice, turned around and activated all the connections and powers he could mobilize to draw votes for Minato Namikaze.

It is also a lot of throwing coins and painting big cakes.

No way, Sarutobi Hiizan didn't want to be too explicit for the door master, but the combination of Uchiha Mai + Fuyue + Tsunade was too cruel.

And Uchiha Mai's campaign slogans [One Ninja World, One Dream] and [Make Konoha Great Again] are too deceptive.

Mai Uchiha, who is already a real talker in Kiriyin Village, will definitely integrate the resources of the two villages as long as she is successfully elected as Hokage.

Everyone and every family who follow him can get real benefits and hope at your fingertips, and everyone has a bright future.

Sarutobi Hizanbu personally stood up to support Naikaze Minato, and activated the power of the Hokage family to draw votes for Master Men, who is likely not to be Uchiha Mai's opponent.

Even so, when the votes were estimated in advance for the first time, Master Men's votes were only half with Uchiha Mai. When estimated again, it was even lower than before.

Sarutobi Hizan really couldn't sit still. A week before the election, he asked Tsunade to relay it and asked Uchiha Mai out, hoping to have a good talk with him.

What is there to talk about now?

Uchiha Mai was a little surprised, but when she had nothing to do, she accepted Hiruzen Sarutobi's invitation.

The location of the conversation was set at a lake outside Konoha Village.

The weather wasn't very good, but it wasn't bad either. Overcast clouds covered the sun and raindrops fell from time to time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting on the bank wearing a shoji, holding a fishing rod on his chest, and he talked eloquently: "Most people like that kind of cloudless weather, but this old man is different from them.

This kind of slanting wind and drizzle weather is the most refreshing, and it is very suitable for going out for hiking.

At the same time, fish schools are also the most active in this weather. In cloudy and rainy weather, the pressure is reduced, and the oxygen in the water will decrease. River fish generally breathe on the surface or even surface.

This rainy day is the best for fishing. "

Uchiha Mai is also sitting on the shore with a fishing rod in hand and wearing a scorpion. Unlike the high-spirited Sarutobi Hizen, he doesn't like fishing.

In order to save Sarutobi Hiizan's face, Uchiha Mai just smiled and said: "Hokage-sama is really knowledgeable. If you want to come and go fishing in the past, most of them have gained a lot."

"Haha, not every time there is a harvest, and there are many times in the Air Force."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed and said modestly, "But whether there is gain or not is not the most important thing, the important thing is to enjoy the process.

like now.

This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment is quiet and rarely visited, and will not be disturbed by anyone. Just sitting here, you will feel like you are integrated into the natural mind and washed.

Even if you can't catch anything, it's a pleasure. "

"Indeed."

Uchiha Mai nodded slightly, and said casually: "It's true that the environment is so quiet that few people come here, so quiet that even the fish don't know this place."

The two had been fishing for more than an hour without even moving the fish float, and the "fish surfaced" that Sarutobi Hizan said was never seen.

The lake may be poisonous.

The corners of Sarutobi Hiizan's mouth twitched and smiled awkwardly, how could he be so unlucky today, let alone biting the hook, he didn't even see a single fish shadow.

The two chatted for a long time, and Uchiha Mai suddenly said: "A few days ago, I had a meal with Orochimaru and talked a few words by the way."

To the point!

Sarutobi Hiizhan narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched the fishing rod in his hand, and said casually, "What did we talk about?"

"Election-related matters."

Uchiha Mai calmly said: "Orochimaru is a little dissatisfied with you, and promised not to endorse anyone.

Turning his head, he turned to Mr. Watergate. At Mr. Watergate's wedding, he unabashedly expressed his preference and support for Mr. Watergate. "

Minato held a wedding about half a month ago, and all the important people in the village were present. Hizan Sarutobi publicly expressed his appreciation for the master on this occasion. The specific attitude is self-evident.

Orochimaru's dissatisfaction is also due.

"Just a few more glasses of wine and a few more words."

Sarutobi Hiizhan was not at all embarrassed, and said lightly: "Minato is my favorite student, and of course, Yu and Orochimaru are also.

In the future, when I attend you... um, when I attend your or Orochimaru's wedding, I will praise you that much. "

Uchiha Mai laughed and didn't answer.

After another moment of silence, Sarutobi Hizan felt that the atmosphere had reached a point, and said, "Mai, don't choose this time."

"What's the meaning?"

Uchiha Mai asked a question, and then said: "More than a month ago, I said that I would be elected, and you said neither support nor objection.

After learning about your attitude, I formed a campaign team and used money to fill the entire Konoha with advertisements.

Uncle Fuyue and Sister Tsunade visit each family every day with various ninjutsu scrolls handed down from our family, and tell them about my grand plan.

Now you suddenly say that you won't let me choose, so the cost of my early investment, isn't it all wasted? "

"I will make up for your loss."

Sarutobi Hiizhan had long expected Uchiha Ball to say this, and replied: "I will copy a book of seals for you, which records in detail the various ninjutsu and secret techniques that the Hokage family has collected and developed over the years. .

This compensation is enough to make up for the loss of your family inheritance caused by sending out various ninjutsu scrolls.

I will double the money you put into your campaign. The ninjas who run for you, such as Fuyue and Tsunade, will also get rich rewards. "

All aspects are taken care of.

"The money paid to me, the remuneration paid to Fuyue, is it you or the village?"

Sarutobi Hizan didn't answer, and was silenced by Uchiha Mai's words.

As a Naruto Sarutobi Hizan, the salary and allowances are very generous, but they are far from comparable to Uchiha Mai, who has a family and regards Kirigakushi as private property.

So this compensation must be pulled out of the village's finances using Hokage's authority.

"After I choose Hokage, the book of seals and the so-called compensation will be mine," Uchiha Mai said.

"The premise is that you can choose."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Orochimaru may not be your opponent, but Minato may not.

He has the full support of Jiraiya, has strength and potential, and the most important thing is that he has a better image than you, and has won the favor of many Shangnin and clans.

It is possible for you and Minato to win or lose, the number is five or five. If you lose, all the investment costs will be in vain. "

Uchiha Mai said nonchalantly, "Five achievements are enough.

I have Wuyin Village as a backstop, and I can afford to lose. "

Sarutobi Hiizhan felt a bit of a headache, and Uchiha Mai had his back against the Hidden Village, which was the most uncomfortable.

Konoha is not Hiruzaki Sarutobi's Konoha, but Kirigakushi is Uchiha Mai's Konoha alone. His prestige in Kirigakura is just like the one thousand hand pillars in Konoha back then.

In this campaign, there is not a big gap between Uchiha Mai and Sarutobi Hizan in the resources they can mobilize and their backers.

"That's it."

Sarutobi Hizan thought for a moment, and then came up with a compromise plan: "Ten years, at most ten years later, I will find a way to persuade Minato to abdicate.

You are only fifteen years old this year, and you will be twenty-five in ten years. You are at the peak of your life, and I believe Minato would be happy to hand over the position of Hokage to you at that time.

Don't choose this time. I will fully support you in ten years. By then, the possibility of you becoming the fifth generation goal will be 100%. "

"What is eligible to fight now, why should I take a step back and wait until ten years to fight?"

Uchiha Mai turned his head to stare at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who also stared at him like a torch.

The atmosphere became very solemn at this moment, a stupid fish bit the hook of Hiruzen Sarutobi, causing the fish to float and sink, and Hiizan Sarutobi was unmoved.

After a long time, the fish managed to break free from the hook and escape. Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around after realizing it, pulled up the fishing rod and said regretfully, "Alas, it's rare for a fish to bite the hook, and it was the one who broke free."

Uchiha Mai also retracted his eyes, and then said: "However, it is not impossible for me to take a step back."

Sarutobi Hiizhan was slightly startled, but he didn't expect the always strong Mai Uchiha to give in, and hurriedly asked, "What conditions?"

"Double Hokage."

Uchiha Mai stared at the lake and said solemnly: "Just like Yunyin Village, a Hokage, a Hokage candidate.

You only said that you will fully support me after ten years, and you have no evidence. Lord Hokage, it is difficult for me to trust you.

Let Minato-sensei be the Hokage, I will be the Hokage candidate and Hokage advisor, and at the same time I will also be the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village. Konoha can't set up obstacles for me.

There are two villages, two shadows, a lot of people and a lot of money, and they can take care of each other.

To put it in a nasty way, one day something happens to the Minato-sensei, and I can immediately assume the position of the fifth generation to minimize the impact and loss on the village. "

Sarutobi Hizan was lost in thought.

It's a good thing that Uchiha Mai is willing to take a step back, but the price he shouted is too high, so high that he feels a little unaffordable.

Hokage Candidate + Hokage Advisor + Imaginary Minister + Mizukage of Hidden Village + Uchiha's Talker, the five identities are superimposed, and they are almost no different from the real Hokage.

It is even said that even if Minato, who is a commoner, is a fourth-generation head, his power is likely to be far inferior to Uchiha Mai.

After all, Minato's commoner background in all aspects needs to rely on the Hokage department led by Sarutobi Hijen, and Uchiha Mai has his own team.

"Konoha doesn't have the tradition of being a Hokage candidate. It's been like this for decades. It's not good to change the rules casually."

Sarutobi Hizan started to bargain: "You do a water shadow in Wuyin Village, and the influence is not very good.

[Staff Headquarters] Minister, the veritable helm of Wuyin Village, isn't your prestige enough? "

Uchiha Mai put away the fishing rod, got up and stared down at Sarutobi Hizan, and said coldly: "When the first and second generations were in power, Konoha didn't have Hokage advisors and Hokage assistants.

Can there be a Hokage candidate? It's not a matter of your words, but you said that you want to appoint me to be the fifth generation purpose. Could it be that Hokage-sama was joking with me just now?

On the Wuyin Village side, I always have to give them an explanation, whether I can choose the fourth-generation eyes or not, the fifth-generation eyes water shadow I have made. "

Undoubtedly, there is no room for bargaining.

Sarutobi Hizan kept tapping his temples, weighing in his heart, and murmured, "Let me think about it, let me think about it..."

To make Minato into the fourth generation of Hokage, Sarutobi Hiizan is very moved. But having Uchiha Mai as Hokage's assistant was a bit uncomfortable.

The reason why Sarutobi Hizen wanted to delay for ten years was to see whether Uchiha Mai would continue to grow or become hurt by writing round eyes in ten years.

The former is completely flat, the latter is the best, "I will fully support you in ten years" is not said, a blind man also wants to be a fifth-generation eye, and let's go to your dream.

But once the Hokage alternate is appointed, it will be a bit difficult to operate in the future.
