"it is good."

Mikoto's bright red lips parted slightly.

Looking at the figure in the kitchen, she felt a sense of happiness.

Suddenly, Mikoto's heart fluttered.

If only... if only this scene could happen forever.

She wished time could slow down.

Unfortunately, after Kiyoshi finishes cooking, the two of them finish eating, and after washing the dishes, Kiyoshi leaves.

"If you keep Kiyoshi locked up here, will he never be able to leave?"

The thought popped into her head.

Soon, Mikoto shook her head.

She was surprised by her own thoughts.

How could you do that?

Although that kind of future is indeed very good... very good.

"what happened?"

Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow, served the dishes, placed them on the table, and looked at Mikoto sitting on the sofa.

The only thing he couldn't understand in the entire ninja world was the Uchiha's thought process.

He always felt that Mikoto's gaze towards him was a little strange.

However, Kiyoshi did not sense any murderous intent or malice from it.

After acquiring the "Perfect Sage Mode," Kiyoshi became very sensitive to these sensations.

Furthermore, the [Yang Release Active Body (Purple)] also caused Kiyoshi to have a subtle stinging sensation as he sensed an impending danger to his own safety, and instinctively avoided all sources of danger.

This shows that Mikoto didn't intend to hurt him.

"nothing."

Mikoto's pretty face twitched, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"If you feel unwell, remember to tell me."

Kiyoshi took out a bowl and chopsticks.

"it is good."

Mikoto said.

She got up and sat down at the dining table next to Qing Si.

Kiyoshi could still smell a faint fragrance. The two were very close, almost touching.

The two ate their meal in silence.

……

Another few days passed.

Life in the village became increasingly peaceful, as if everything had returned to the peace before the Third Shinobi World War.

But only the ninjas knew that this was all just a facade of peace.

The real undercurrents are only just beginning.

Nanga Shrine.

By this time, a considerable number of Uchiha ninjas had gathered.

Whenever there is a major decision to be made, the Uchiha clan members come to the Naga Shrine.

"The voting is about to begin, so I hope everyone will give their support to Lord Fugaku."

Uchiha Yakumi spoke up.

The selection of Hokage follows a complete process.

First, we need to follow the village's lead and select a "Hokage candidate".

This step is also known as nomination.

Finally, from the nominees, the person most suitable to be Hokage will be chosen.

This step needs to be reported to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Finally, the final selection was made by the Daimyo, officials from the Land of Fire, and high-ranking officials from various departments of Konoha.

Of course, in reality, all that's needed is for the emperor to nod in approval.

"Has this moment finally arrived?"

"Uchiha Hachimoku said excitedly."

He was Fugaku's confidant and desperately wanted Fugaku to become Hokage and restore the glory of the Uchiha clan.

"Don't get so agitated."

A smile appeared on Fugaku's stern face.

He also dreamed of becoming Hokage, and seeing everyone's support made him naturally happy.

"Isn't Kiyoshi doing just fine?"

Uchiha Tekkado.

He believed that Kiyoshi's reputation was actually much better than that of most Uchiha.

"I think so too."

Uchiha Inahime nodded.

If we're talking about choosing a Hokage, he thinks a younger person would be better.

Captain Fugaku is sometimes too rigid.

In terms of strength, he has never truly used his full strength, so no one knows exactly how strong he is.

On the contrary, Kiyoshi's achievements were dazzling. He captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and repeatedly defeated other tailed beasts, as well as the Fourth Raikage.

Hearing some discordant voices within the clan, Fugaku frowned slightly.

He looked at Kiyoshi, who was sitting at the very front facing him, and pondered Kiyoshi's current reputation.

Having Kiyoshi in the public eye to attract attention has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that he can hide his strength, but the disadvantage is that it will also reduce his reputation.

In particular, Kiyoshi awakened the "Kaleidoscope Sharingan".

To be honest, it was the moment Fugaku learned the news afterward.

My first reaction was disbelief, and I suspected that I had fallen into an illusion.

What he had been hiding was so easily revealed by Kiyoshi.

But Fugaku held back, not even bothering to find out about Tsukasa's eye technique abilities.

This is something very private.

Once information about ninjas is obtained by others, it could be exploited and targeted.

After much deliberation, he decided to keep it a secret.

Having two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan is not enough for the Uchiha clan to stand against the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

He was hiding in the shadows, just in time.

"Are you saying that Kiyoshi is more suitable to lead the Uchiha than Captain Fugaku?"

The Eighth Hokage narrowed his eyes as he looked at Tetsuka.

Tie Huo felt uneasy under the gaze and avoided eye contact.

"Hmph, it has always been the capable who rise to the top."

Uchiha Setsuna, who had been sitting silently, slowly spoke.

Uchiha Hachimoku's momentum immediately weakened.

After all, Uchiha Setsuna was far superior to him in terms of both seniority and ability.

“Elder Setsuna, Captain Fugaku is the captain of the Konoha Police Department and also the leader of our clan.”

Uchiha Hachimoku carefully considered his words.

This man was imprisoned for rebelling, and he had a very violent temper when he was young.

Although I'm older now, I still retain some of the fierceness I used to have.

"It seems that people have split into two factions."

The perceptive Uchiha Shisui noticed the disconnect in the atmosphere.

At this time, a large number of Uchiha ninjas had gathered at the Naga Shrine.

They were all crammed under the Nanga Shrine, making it look very crowded.

These ninjas gradually split into two voices.

The older generation and the doves are more supportive of conservative forces like Fugaku.

The new generation of Uchiha and the more radical ones are more supportive of Kiyoshi.

They thought Fugaku was too weak.

Whenever the Konoha Police Department's authority clashes with that of the Anbu, the Anbu always gets priority.

"What is Kiyoshi thinking?"

Shisui observed everything around him, trying to figure out which was the right choice.

"Kiyoshi, many clansmen support you becoming Hokage."

Mikoto tugged at Kiyoshi's sleeve, feeling happy for him.

Qingsi nodded slightly.

It's normal for people to support him. Apart from being young, he has no flaws in any aspect, and is even far superior to others.

In the Uchiha clan, which reveres power, Kiyoshi is undoubtedly the answer.

Moreover, he didn't have the bad temper of those strongmen, and he was humble to others.

"Kiyoshi, do you want to be Hokage?"

The clansmen were discussing heatedly. After listening to these voices for a while, Fugaku asked Kiyoshi a question.

"Hokage... I think everyone would want to be Hokage."

Kiyoshi spoke calmly, his gaze fixed on Fugaku.

It's unlikely that the Fourth Hokage position will belong to the Uchiha clan.

However, it's not impossible to try and fight for it.

Chapter 331 Nono's Letter, Yuzuki Man in Prison

"If there's a chance, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. Even if you don't become Hokage, you can still make an appearance. The position of Root leader is still vacant, isn't it?"

Qingsi said calmly.

If he wanted to, the position of Hokage would belong to him sooner or later.

It will be either this year's or the next year's.

In the Leaf Village, or rather the ninja world, ultimately, as long as one possesses power and is not a leader like Madara Uchiha who doesn't bring benefits to his subordinates, one can succeed.

Then they will naturally be supported by the public.

In the ninja world, besides fighting and killing, one also needs to be mindful of human relationships and social interactions.

Ban Cuo was too self-centered, and even his subordinates who had fought alongside him for many years abandoned him.
