After the Kyuubi Seal incident came to an end, the election for the second Hokage was put on the agenda.
Yes, it was an election. Zhu Jian did not agree to let Tokuma succeed directly, but decided to hold another election.
Uchiha Izumi was also surprised when he heard the news and personally visited each family. Especially the three families of Yuan Fei, Shimura, and Akimichi, he brought the Uchiha Mirror with him, hoping to use their friendship to canvass votes for him.
Uzumaki Family base, after Zhu Jian decided to step down, he came to Masahiko's place every two or three days, not to discuss business, but to learn how to play dice. Masahiko really can't do anything about this gambler.
"Zhu Jian, have you heard, recently Uchiha Izumi is also fighting for the Hokage, do you have any opinion?" Masahiko said with a smile.
Zhu Jian frowned, "Second Grandpa, why are you so sure it's eleven?"
Masahiko's face darkened, "Aren't you afraid that Tokuma can't compete with Uchiha Izumi?"
Zhu Jian picked up the dice cup and shook it, "Why can't I get eighteen?"
…
Masahiko slammed the table, startling Zhu Jian. He grabbed the dice cup and shook it hard, "Guess what time it is now?"
"Eleven, no, eighteen!" Zhu Jian hesitated.
Masahiko opened the dice cup, the three dice overlapped, and the top one was one.
Zhu Jian's eyes widened, "Second Grandpa, is this okay?"
Masahiko smiled, "Do you want to learn? I'll teach you! Answer my question first … "
Masahiko wanted to repeat his question, but he didn't expect Zhu Jian to say directly, "Second Grandpa, don't worry, Uchiha Izumi can't compete with Tokuma. He used the Mirror of Uchiha to win over Hizen, Danzo, and Takukazu, but Tokuma is their Sensei … "
Masahiko's face was as black as charcoal. It turned out that Zhu Jian had heard everything he said, but he didn't reply. Looking at Zhu Jian who couldn't wait to get the die's new skill, Masahiko said faintly, "Aren't you afraid that Uchiha Izumi has something up his sleeve?"
"Hurry up and teach me, Second Grandpa." Zhu Jian shook his head. "What other tricks could there be?"
While they were talking, a Maelstrom clansman knocked on the door and came in. "Great Elder, Elder Uchiha, Uchiha Quan is also here."
Masahiko nodded and gestured for him to come in. He turned to Zhu Jian and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Look, the backup is here, right? You hide in the back and watch how he tries to rope in Second Grandpa … "
Zhu Jian nodded with a strange expression and took the dice cup and hid in the back room.
Uchiha Quan was also welcomed in, and when he saw Masahiko, he smiled and said, "Uncle Masahiko …"
Masahiko waved his hand and interrupted him. "Don't call me uncle. Call me Grandpa. If Uchiha Madara was still here, would you dare to call me that?"
Uchiha Quan's face was also black, and he cursed in his heart. "If Madara was still here, I would dare to call you old man …" But after all, he was asking for help, so he could only say, "Masahiko … Grandpa."
"Hey, sit down." Masahiko agreed with a smile.
Uchiha Quan's mouth also twitched, and he sat down. The chair that Zhu Jian had just sat on was still a little warm. He frowned and asked, "Grandpa Masahiko, was there anyone else here just now?"
Masahiko was stunned for a moment. "Ah, no, I just put my feet on your chair."
Uchiha Quan was also speechless.
Finally, he held back his anger and said, "I think you know why I am here. I hope that Maelstrom will support me to be Hokage."
Masahiko sighed and scratched his head. "We are in-laws with Senshoku. How can we support you?"
Uchiha Quan also shook his head. "Your Maelstrom is now second only to Senshoku and Uchiha Clan. Hokage can take turns to be Hokage. If you are willing to support me this time, next time …"
Masahiko smiled and shook his head. "Even if we support you, you can't be Hokage."
Uchiha Quan also showed a proud smile. "There are already many families who are willing to support me. With you, I will win."
Masahiko froze for a moment and replied, "Then I will think about it …"
Uchiha Quan also smiled more proudly. He said goodbye to Masahiko and left the Maelstrom station.
When Uchiha Quan also left, Zhu Jian came out of the inner room. Masahiko couldn't help but laugh.
"Zhu Jian, look at him … haha!"
Zhu Jian looked confused. "Grandpa, why are you so happy that Tokuma can't be Hokage?"
Masahiko's mouth stiffened. He pointed his finger at Zhu Jian and fell behind the chair with a trembling smile.
Zhu Jian showed a natural dark smile …
…
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. The voting for the Hokage election began.
Uchiha Quan also lost to Tokuma with a high vote of 59.
If there were only 100 people eligible to vote, Uchiha Quan would certainly win, but … there are 1000 people eligible to vote. And it just so happens that there are 60 people eligible to vote in Uchiha Quan's family. Who didn't vote for Uchiha Quan …
Looking at his completely green old face, Masahiko smiled even more happily.
Uchiha Quan also came over bitterly. "Masahiko … Grandpa, didn't we agree?"
Masahiko smiled. "Didn't you say that many families support you … You see, there is a person in Uchiha Quan who didn't vote for you."
Speaking of this, Masahiko paused and thought of something in his heart. He said: "And maybe your son doesn't support you …"
"Kuroto …" Uchiha Quan also murmured, his face changed slightly, and turned away.
The Hokage election came to an end, Tokuma succeeded in becoming the second Hokage, and Masahiko also got 20 Witness Points. Compared with Zhu Jian, he was much more responsible. He stayed in the Hokage building all day and refused to come out.
Masahiko was helpless because Zhu Jian pestered him all day to learn dice. Later, he rejected him by saying that he needed to practice his carving skills.
This was not an excuse, but Masahiko was really practicing. He spent another nine Witness Points on carving and brought it to the maximum level. After that, he has been familiarizing himself with his full level of carving skills.
Of course, he didn't want to carve the Hokage Rock for Tokuma, but he remembered that the Valley of the End needs two huge statues. Great ninjas like Madara and Zhu Jian need to be remembered by future generations.
When Masahiko was familiarizing himself with carving skills, Konoha was in a little chaos.
Uchiha Izumi also failed in the Hokage election, and the Uchiha Clan was unwilling to give up, so they started to cause trouble everywhere, whether it was the Medical Department, teahouses, restaurants, or even the Ninja School, they wanted to intervene.
The families jointly sued Tokuma many times. Tokuma had no choice but to establish Daimyo's famous organization, the Konoha Police Force, and the main positions were all held by the Uchiha Clan.
They are responsible for formulating the laws and regulations of the village, strengthening and maintaining the order and security of Konoha Hidden Village, and can arrest people and ninjas with criminal tendencies.
With such great power, Uchiha's emotions were appeased, and Konoha returned to peace again.
But this is only the precursor of the storm …
