"It's too exaggerated, sir, my son is running for the fifth generation..."

Minato was dumbfounded, why should he be so alarmist? But if this happens, he may actually quit in order to fulfill the dream of his younger generation.

Jiraiya silently took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes from his arms, pinched one out and put it into his mouth. Then he lit the cigarette with flames formed in his fingers, holding the cigarette butt between his hands and taking a deep breath.

The front part of the cigarette emits red light, and wisps of smoke rise from the front, which is all Jiraiya's regret and heartbreak.

"This is my teacher's experience." Jiraiya glanced at Mai Uchiha and Tsunade.

Just like you never know where your love rival will come from, you can't be sure that the person who will run for you in the future will definitely not be your son.

So life is so unpredictable.

"It would be a pity not to choose if I had the chance." Sarutobi Hiruzen fit another sentence.

"yes."

Uchiha Mai smiled and said: "Just choose the Fourth Hokage, Minato-sensei doesn't need to worry so much.

If you give up the dream that has been deep in your heart for many years because of my relationship, then even if I can choose it, I will feel guilty."

Uchiha Mai is not afraid that the master will come out to compete with him, because he has an alternative plan.

Regardless of whether he can successfully choose the fifth generation, Uchiha Mai has a way to control part of Konoha's power. The only difference is how much and how complicated it is.

"Look, Wu is supporting you in your election, what else do you have to say.

You wouldn't think that Orochimaru would hold a grudge just because you were chosen. They are all Konoha ninjas, and who can be the Hokage?

Give it a try, Minato."

Jiraiya once again persuaded his apprentice and looked at Orochimaru. Although he did not want to be Hokage, he supported his student becoming Hokage.

"how could be."

Orochimaru was smiling on the surface, but he was thinking a lot about it, and he saw that the master had been convinced, and it was basically impossible for him to get the support of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi supported him, he wouldn't have wasted his time in taking turns with Jiraiya, trying to persuade Minato left and right.

"What Hokage-sama and the teacher said makes sense."

The master nodded, his heart knotted, and he showed a weak smile. He raised his glass and said with a smile: "Then Orochimaru-sensei, Mai.

Although I am not very confident, I still decided to run with you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction.

Although your master and I are very capable, as long as you are willing, I have the opportunity to take you to the top and let you experience the feeling of flying.

But you have to take the initiative yourself. You can't let your master work hard on your behind all day long, right?

Don't be afraid of competition and don't be unsure of yourself. You have a good personality, are handsome, have outstanding strength, and have strengths that ordinary people can't match. These are the things I like very much, Master.

No matter what he said, the master finally figured it out and Hiruzen Sarutobi was very happy.

The purpose of the banquet had been achieved, which was to test out the thoughts of Mai Uchiha and Orochimaru, and to successfully convince Minato to reach some kind of agreement with Mai Uchiha.

It was not a bad night for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The old man raised his glass and said with a smile: "Although I cannot wish everyone of you to get what you want, I still hope that you can get what you want.

Two months later, I will hold a voting ceremony at the Hokage's office. Ninjas above the team leader level of the Ministry of Government, Anbu, Ministry of Education and other departments, members of the Jonin class, and each ninja family in Konoha will receive one to three votes.

voting rights.

The person with the most votes in the end will become the first candidate for the Fourth Hokage. After consulting the daimyo and getting permission, he will officially succeed the Fourth Hokage.
Chapter completed!
