Feeling that her husband's palm was quite moist, Kushina touched her belly and said softly: "Don't be nervous, Minato.

The gap between you and Mai is very small. At present, it seems that whoever wins may lose. But no matter which of you can become Hokage, it will be a good thing for Konoha.

Some things are fine as long as you work hard and don't leave any regrets. At least you have tried hard, which proves that in everyone's mind you are no worse than anyone else.

Regardless of whether you can become the Fourth Hokage or not, you are my husband and the father of my child."

"Um."

Namikaze Minato nodded, his nervousness relieved a lot, and he hugged his wife's waist, feeling more at ease than ever before.

Even if I can't become the Fourth Hokage, I will become the happiest husband and father in the ninja world.

Among the entire venue, only Mai Uchiha was the calmest, her expression remained as usual, because the outcome had already been determined.

Uchiha Mai has always maintained the [spiritual vision] state, and every time Hiruzen Sarutobi takes out a ballot, he can see the specific number of votes and names on it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi did some tricks and gave some of the votes that belonged to Mai Uchiha to Minato Namikaze.

The current real number of votes is 147 for Mai Uchiha, 106 for Sect Master, and 22 for Orochimaru.

emmm, Orochimaru's vote count is normal, Sarutobi Hiruzen neither added votes to him nor divided his votes.

Long before the election, Sarutobi Hiruzen had clearly supported Minato and devoted all the resources of the Hokage family to Minato, just to fight against Mai Uchiha.

Many of Orochimaru's supporters are from the Hokage family. Between Hokage and Orochimaru, they would definitely choose the former. Those who are willing to vote for Orochimaru are pure die-hards.

The combination of various reasons resulted in Orochimaru's dismal vote count.

"Namikaze Minato, 7 votes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen read out another ballot, and Jiraiya behind him also quickly added one straight character and two more strokes under Namikaze Minato's name.

Because of these 7 extra votes, Minato's vote count on the blackboard instantly surpassed that of Mai Uchiha, and the gap opened up by a straight margin.

There was an uproar in the conference room, and there was a burst of whispers.

Although voting is anonymous, many ballots with special numbers can still be used to deduce the identity of the voter.

For example, if the number of votes is 5 and the vote is for Uchiha Mai, then the voter is most likely Fugaku.

And 7 votes is even better, and it must be the head of the two departments, Konoha Jonin Mai Uchiha.

The master's anus tightened, surprise, bewilderment, gratitude and many other emotions flashed through his eyes, and he turned to look at Uchiha Mai.

Then he quickly lowered his head with guilt, feeling ashamed of his own selfishness and his shameless menstruation.

"What's wrong?" Kushina asked with concern.

The master sect murmured in a low voice: "In order to be successfully elected as the fourth generation head, I voted for myself.

In fact, at that time, I thought about voting for Orochimaru-sensei or Mai, especially the latter. His concept of "One Ninja World, One Dream" is really convincing.

In the end, my selfishness and shamelessness convinced me: vote for yourself. Voting for yourself is a sign of greater confidence. Doesn't voting for others mean that you think you are inferior to others?

Now I realize that I was wrong, Mai voted for him, no one will doubt whether Mai has the ability to match Hokage, and no one will doubt whether he is confident.

This is a sign of true confidence.
