Konoha: Reviving the Glory of Uchiha

Chapter 140 The dust has settled (Happy New Year)
That afternoon, Yuan Uchiha was handling official duties at the police department as usual.

During this period, the reform of the third detachment has begun to bear fruit. Decentralizing the power of the police department to each family has an obvious benefit.

The Police Department is no longer the voice of the Uchiha clan, and there is no fixed target for everyone to vent their dissatisfaction. Unlike in the past, the Uchiha clan was equal to the Police Department. To criticize the Police Department is to criticize the Uchiha clan.

This was also the main reason why the Aburame clan and the Inar, Deer, and Butterfly clan hesitated at that time.

Joining the police department now is, in a sense, helping the Uchiha clan attract firepower.

Moreover, the reputation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha is extremely poor, and anyone who steps into this muddy water may get into trouble.

To be honest, the power of the Police Department is great, but no matter how powerful it is, it must be taken with a life!

If it hadn't been for Aburame Shimi's repeated requests, and the presence of Kaguya Yamanaka, who was very close to Uchiha, the Inokacho clan would not have sent anyone to join the police department.

"Dong dong~" A knock on the door sounded outside the office, interrupting Uchiha's work routine.

Uchiha Yuan opened his mind and immediately knew who the person was.

He stood up and opened the door, and standing outside the door was Minato Namikaze.

"Minato-senpai, why are you here when you are free?" Uchiha Toto asked while inviting Namikaze Minato in.

"Yuan, you should know the purpose of my coming, right?" Namikaze Minato asked back.

Uchiha smiled far away he did know.

Now the election of the Fourth Hokage has reached a critical moment, with Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru's votes basically tied.

Who can become Hokage depends on who the remaining big families choose.

Namikaze Minato had already visited Uchiha Fugaku last night. Uchiha Fugaku and Namikaze Minato had a good relationship. He hoped that Namikaze Minato would become Hokage.

However, the Uchiha clan is not the only one who speaks to Uchiha Fugaku. Namikaze Minato learned some information about the Uchiha clan from Uchiha Fugaku.

The Uchiha clan is very divided within itself, and the opinions between the hawks and the doves are not unified.

According to Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Yuan should be a member of the dove faction.

And now Uchiha Yuan has become the captain of the police department. He is considered a high-ranking member of the Uchiha clan and has a certain status within the clan.

That's why Minato Namikaze came here, hoping to use Yuchiha Yuan to communicate with the pigeons of the Uchiha clan and get them to support him in becoming Hokage.

Uchiha Yuan naturally knew the purpose of Namikaze Minato's visit. Even after Namikaze Minato said so, he no longer hid it: "Minato-senpai, to be honest, I personally hope that you will become the new Hokage, but I am not the only one who wants to be the new Hokage." People cannot represent Uchiha, I need a reason to convince others."

"I understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Yuanqing has been working on the reform of the Police Department since he became the captain of the Third Division of the Police Department. I believe you really want to change the Uchiha clan.

After I become Hokage, I will try my best to help eliminate the opinions of the village's senior officials on the Uchiha clan and put the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan on the right track. "

"This condition is not enough!" Uchiha Yuan said directly.

"What do you want then?"

"I want a promise."

"Promise? What promise?" Namikaze Minato asked.

"When the time is right, I hope you, Minato-senpai, can support our Uchiha clan members to become the next Hokage."

Namikaze Minato was a little hesitant when he heard this. He is a person who values ​​​​promises very much, and the position of Hokage is of great importance. Namikaze Minato didn't know whether to agree or not.

Uchiha's vision added: "Don't worry, Minato-senpai, the time is right as I said. Most people in the village who can accept and identify with the Uchiha clan will become Hokage. I hope you can help me when the time comes."

Namikaze Minato thought for a long time and nodded in agreement.

After getting the promise from Namikaze Minato, Uchiha went to find Uchihaha. Now, there is no doubt that he is the one responsible for Dove Faction's words.

Uchiha Yuan and Uchiha Yuan chatted for more than an hour, and finally convinced Uchiha Yuan to support Namikaze Minato.

At the same time, Uchiha Fugaku was also doing the work of the hawk of the Uchiha clan.

The Hawks themselves have no tendency. As long as they are not members of the Uchiha clan, it will be the same for anyone.

However, under the lobbying of Uchiha Fugaku, the hawks of the Uchiha clan also felt that it was more appropriate for Minato Namikaze, a commoner with no foundation, to ascend to the position of Hokage than Orochimaru.

At this point, the Uchiha clan reached a unified opinion.

On the other side, the Hyuga clan is also discussing who to support becoming Hokage.

Logically speaking, Hyuga Asana is Orochimaru's disciple, and the Hyuga clan should fully support Orochimaru.

But Hyuga Asana is a member of the branch family, and the Hyuga clan does not want to see Hinata Asana become a disciple of the Hokage.

The Hokage's disciple has already allowed Hyuga Asana's branch family to enjoy rights that are almost equal to those of the clan. If he becomes the Hokage's disciple, wouldn't Hyuga Asana's status in the clan surpass that of the clan?
Therefore, most people in the Hyuga clan are opposed to Orochimaru becoming Hokage.

In addition, the current heads of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizashi, and Namikaze Minato are considered peers, and the two have fought side by side on the battlefield for many years.

Therefore, Hinata Hyuzu is also more inclined to choose Namikaze Minato as Hokage.

Except for Hinata and Uchiha, the Sarutobi clan, the largest family in Konoha, could not support anyone under the orders of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In any case, the Three Generations of Hokage made an attitude of not wanting to help on the surface.

Soon the time came to the last day of voting, and the votes of Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru were still very close.

At this time, Hinata and Uchiha Yuan expressed their opinions at the same time, and the two big families voted all their votes for Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato suddenly took a big lead over Orochimaru and was successfully elected as the Fourth Hokage.

As soon as the election results came out, everyone in Danzo was stunned.

This election Danzo spent a lot of manpower and material resources to support Orochimaru, but in the end it failed.

"Uchiha, Hinata! The old man will definitely make you pay the price!" Danzo pinned Uchiha and Hinata's blame for Orochimaru's failure.

A few days later, the Third Hokage publicly announced that Namikaze Minato would succeed the Fourth Hokage, and set the succession ceremony for a month later.

From now on, Namikaze Minato will learn how to deal with government affairs with the third generation of Hokage.

A month later, Namikaze Minato held a succession ceremony and took over the duties of the Fourth Hokage from the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

With the rise of Namikaze Minato, Konoha's history turned a new page.

However, the senior officials of Konoha Village did not take Minato Namikaze too seriously. In their opinion, being too young was not a good thing.
