I am a novelist and literary artist first, and a ninja second."

"I never counted on you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen hummed, looked past Jiraiya and looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru smiled slightly, his dark golden pupils flickering, and said with a smile: "Both Jiraiya and Tsunade are very resistant to the position of Hokage, but I still want to compete for the position of Hokage. The three ninjas cannot be wiped out.

A Konoha ninja who doesn't want to be Hokage is not a good ninja, not to mention, I am still your direct disciple."

Orochimaru is confident, Jiraiya voluntarily withdraws from the Hokage race, Uchiha Mai is too young to be chosen, and Namikaze Minato is not qualified enough.

He has made contributions in both ninja wars. He has been a top expert in Konoha for many years and has accumulated a reputation for ten years.

Who else should I take the position of Hokage?

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and Orochimaru expressed his desire for the position of Hokage as expected. In terms of ability, he was indeed qualified.

However, Orochimaru's character is more like Senju Tobirama than like Sarutobi Hiruzen, and is a bit extreme, which Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't like very much.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze shifted again and looked at Mai Uchiha.

Uchiha Mai leaned on the back of the chair, holding a toothpick in her mouth, and said calmly: "According to Konoha's rules and regulations, when the Hokage is in power, the Jonin class has the right to nominate a Hokage candidate. During special periods, the Jounin class can even nominate a Hokage candidate.

A new Hokage appears.

In the selection of the new Hokage, ninjas such as Konoha's ministers, Hokage assistants, advisors, jounin class members, etc. all have a say.

Many jonin nodded and said they would fully support me."

Every jounin is a small shareholder of the Konoha company and has the right to vote on many matters, and the jounin of the Uchiha clan is no exception.

Uchiha Mai can be used for everything, and there are thirty Uchiha jounin supporting him. "Many jounin nod" is certain.

Orochimaru's confident smile gradually disappeared.

Mai Uchiha actually plans to run for the Fourth Hokage. What does he think?

As long as there are no mistakes, relying on his strength, talent, and age, and accumulating prestige for more than ten years, he will definitely be able to become the Fifth Hokage in the future.

Why bother running for the fourth generation at this time, when you can’t wait ten years!?

Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt a thump in his heart, the thing he least expected to see happened.

Mai Uchiha has strength, prestige and family background. Once she participates in the fourth generation election, she will definitely become a popular candidate.

This is not what Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to see. Strictly speaking, the Hokage system is the Senju system, and Uchiha Mai is just a mole who broke into the Senju system.

He is nominally Minato's apprentice, and has a good relationship with Jiraiya and others, but there is no real master-disciple relationship or fellow disciple relationship.

He was an outsider, and Hiruzen Sarutobi did not want to hand over the position of Hokage to Mai Uchiha unless he had to.

If Uchiha Mai aims at the Fifth Generation, then it's okay, at least he can hold off. There's no telling whether he will rush out in the future, or his strength will further improve, and he will completely lock in the Fifth Generation.

But now, the Yondaime is not incapable of Uchiha dancing.

"So, you will definitely come out to choose?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked as usual.

"I have to give it a try. So many people support me. If I don't come out to choose, wouldn't I be living up to everyone's support and expectations for me." Mai Uchiha smiled.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered in his heart, besides the people of the Uchiha clan, who else supports you?

Tsunade, who was sitting next to Mai Uchiha, picked up the wine bottle and poured herself a glass first, then added wine to Mai Uchiha's quilt.

At the same time, he laughed and said: "That's right, that's so right.

Mai has the strongest strength in Konoha, the best appearance in Konoha, sufficient ability and so many people supporting him, so he is indeed worthy of the position of Hokage.

Moreover, Mai is also very popular among the people of Konoha and the Land of Fire, and more and more people are his supporters and fans.

Please help me more..."

"It's just the popularity that comes from holding concerts."

Orochimaru interrupted Tsunade's canvassing with a cold face, stared at Mai Uchiha with dark golden eyes, and said sharply: "Let's hold a concert and release an album, the number one solo male in the ninja world.
