"Be mindful of the occasion today."

"It's... father."

Uchiha Tetsuka covered his head, not daring to refute.

"puff."

Uchiha Inahi held back her laughter.

"Everyone in the clan is very active."

Mikoto said.

"Yes."

Kiyoshi glanced around; there were quite a few people.

Even the owner of the Uchiha pancake shop, Uchiha Tessho, and his wife, Uchiha Kyo, came, which shows how much the clansmen cared about this matter.

That makes sense, since Kiyoshi's generation was the most prosperous generation of the Uchiha clan.

With geniuses like Kiyoshi and Shisui holding the fort outside, and pillars like Tetsuka and Inahikasa contributing to the Uchiha clan.

If the Uchiha clan continues to lie low and survives until "Boruto," they won't be any worse off than the Hyuga clan.

Furthermore, the Sharingan cloned by the Uchiha Shinbu clan could be freely transplanted into clan members who could not awaken the Sharingan.

In the ninja world, is there anyone more suited to the Sharingan than the Uchiha clan?

The Uchiha clan, whose members all possess the Sharingan, can only completely overwhelm the Hyuga clan, whose members all possess the Byakugan.

Unless Hyuga synthesizes the "Tenseigan", the base stats of the "Byakugan" are indeed too low.

"The white eye" is a strategic weapon in war, but it is not enough for an individual's individual strength.

"Lord Kiyoshi, do you now possess the qualities to become Hokage?"

Uchiha Shisui continued to observe this scene.

He was thinking about the relationship between his family and the village.

Suddenly, a woman caught Zhishui's eye.

That was Uchiha Hazuki.

From her expression, it was clear that she was somewhat afraid of Kiyoshi.

Why would they fear Kiyoshi?

Zhi Shui couldn't understand it.

He glanced at Kiyoshi, who was surrounded by the crowd, and suddenly thought to himself, "Perhaps there is a side of Lord Kiyoshi that I don't know about?"

…………

Before long, the conference room in the Hokage Building was filled with people.

The Hyuga clan, the Aburame clan, the Yamanaka clan, the Inuzuka clan...

All the prominent ninja clan leaders of Konoha came here.

This is... the aristocratic class.

They possess bloodline limits and secret techniques that ordinary ninjas do not have, giving them a significant advantage in certain areas.

There were also some ninjas from the commoner class.

They had nothing; all they could rely on was their talent and their ability to escape.

Apart from special cases like Minato Namikaze, almost all ordinary ninjas can only use the Five Elements Release Techniques as a means of fighting enemies.

"Has the Uchiha clan arrived?"

Nara Shikaku quietly observed this scene. The current head of the Nara clan intended to groom him to be the fifteenth head of the clan.

Therefore, he was still in a relatively central position in this meeting.

The living space is limited, and everyone here is a Jonin.

Some people can be in front, while others can only be in the back.

Behind this lies the ninja's strength and family background, which are unspoken rules that are never made public.

"Between Fugaku and Kiyoshi, the winner should be... Kiyoshi."

In a flash, Nara Shikaku arrived at the answer.

"Well said."

Nara Enju stroked his long black beard, satisfied with Nara Shikaku's deduction.

Do you know why?

"Kiyoshi possesses a stronger 'Will of Fire' than Fugaku."

Nara Shikaku replied almost without hesitation.

In Konoha, the "Will of Fire" can be considered politically correct.

The Uchiha clan also has its iconic figures.

That was Uchiha Kagami.

He became the Hokage's bodyguard and was one of the Second Hokage's confidants.

The current Uchiha Seiji bears the shadow of Uchiha Kagami.

Even if the Second Hokage were alive, he would choose Kiyoshi over Fugaku.

Fugaku is a typical Uchiha, but he's not politically correct enough.

"very good."

Nara Yanju said with a smile.

The Nara clan has a worthy successor.

While they were whispering amongst themselves, the Uchiha clan members immediately took over the center positions.

The other ninja clans also voluntarily retreated.

The Uchiha clan is somewhat considered the number one clan in Konoha, and no one wants to offend them at this time.

Some even started looking towards the Hyuga clan, hoping that the two clans would clash.

To their surprise, the Hyuga clan treated the Uchiha clan very mildly.

Their clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga, even greeted Kiyoshi and they chatted casually.

Whispers began to circulate in the conference room, only ceasing when the door clicked open again.

The high-ranking officials of Konoha and the officials from the Land of Fire who were observing the proceedings had arrived.

"Is everyone here?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had the Anbu count the number of people, and then began to give his remarks.

He first talked about his childhood, and then about how he became Hokage.

It's basically a motivational message: even if you don't become Hokage this time, don't be discouraged.

Anyone who has contributed to Konoha and shed blood can run for the next Hokage.

Everyone has a chance, so don't be discouraged.

After talking for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally got down to business.

The other ninjas also became serious, knowing that the crucial moment had arrived.

"Hiruzen, this is the proposed list."

Mitokado Homura pushed up his glasses and handed Hiruzen Sarutobi a list from a folded booklet.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi opened the list, it contained only a handful of names.

"The first one is Orochimaru."

Hiruzen Sarutobi read out the first person's name.

"Humph."

A glint of light flashed in Shimura Danzo's eyes. Orochimaru had already made a name for himself in the last Shinobi World War, not to mention his active role in the Third Shinobi World War.

His achievements cannot be insufficient.

Next, as long as Orochimaru defeats the other Hokage candidates and becomes Hokage, he can regain his position as the leader of Root.

Danzo Shimura didn't want to linger for even a second longer than he had experienced the taste of losing power.

The other ninjas also had knowing expressions, having anticipated this situation.

The Sannin are all very famous, so they wouldn't be surprised if Tsunade suddenly appeared.

"Heh heh, a nomination?"

Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth.

It seems that in Sarutobi-sensei's heart, his disciple was not entirely without importance.

"The second one is Minato Namikaze."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he looked up at the dark mass of people, observing everyone's micro-expressions.

Thank you all for your support.

Minato Namikaze scratched his head and expressed his gratitude.

He was very happy.

If he gets nominated, he'll be on the next level and become Hokage, a dream come true!

"Congratulations, Minato."

Jiraiya was the first to offer his congratulations.

He was also happy for his disciple, Minato Namikaze.

"See what I told you? Minato is definitely going to become a Hokage candidate."

Jiraiya said smugly to Tsunade.

"Hmph, my disciple is not bad either."

Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya.

That face had a lewd smile, which almost made Tsunade punch him.

Because Jiraiya also had that same smile when he peeked into the women's bathhouse...

Chapter 334 Kiyoshi Nominates Hokage Candidate, Konan's Visit

"The third one is the Uchiha..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi drawled out the last syllable of "Uchiha".

Fugaku Uchiha's heart tightened, and he listened intently to what Hiruzen Sarutobi would say next.

The nearby ninjas also pricked up their ears, channeling chakra into their ears, trying to hear the following name clearly.

The Uchiha clan has been selected as a Hokage candidate for the first time.

Madara Uchiha, one of the greatest elders who founded Konoha, was not even qualified to run for Hokage.

It now appears that the Konoha leadership has shown a change of heart regarding the Uchiha clan.

"who is it?"

Uchiha Hachimoku couldn't help but ask.

"Eight generations must not be disrespectful."

Fugaku Uchiha frowned.

"I'm sorry, Captain Fugaku, I got too excited."

Uchiha Hachiro gave the others an apologetic look.
