Naruto: New World

Chapter 203 Obito returns to Konoha



In this case, Kakashi should get involved in the position of Hokage next.

But with this kind of universal election, the other party shouldn't be able to interfere with the wishes of so many ordinary people, right?

Nara Shikaku couldn't be sure either.

However, after everyone's discussion, the plan to elect the next Hokage through popular elections was almost unanimously approved.

In the next three days, Konoha Village will continue to register candidates for three days, after which registration will close and enter a four-day publicity period.

After the public notice period ends, the general election will officially begin!

Use voting to select the candidate with the highest number of votes to become the next Hokage!

Everyone can sign up to be a Hokage candidate, whether you are a ninja or an ordinary civilian. The only requirement is that you must be from Konoha, the Country of Fire, and you must not be a wanted person, not a traitor, and have no criminal record.

Seeing the plan for the Hokage election provided by Kakashi, everyone thought it was rigorous and reasonable, and couldn't find any problems!

So Konoha became busy again. After all, for the candidates, they had only seven days to fight for votes.

After this incident spread in the ninja world, it also attracted a lot of people's attention. Everyone felt that this method was quite good and there was something worth learning.

The Land of Rain, the City of Peace.

It is also very lively here because the construction period lasted for several years. As the first strategic and commemorative dam in the Rain Country, it was finally officially completed and put into use.

Lord Sosuke of the Land of Rain, Yahiko Amekage of the Rain Ninja Village, Toshikawa, the Lord of Heian City, Nanaba, the President of the Heian Chamber of Commerce, and others attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Standing among the crowd, Kisame looked at the majestic and beautiful dam, his eyes slightly moist.

He has been involved in the construction of this dam since its early stages, and later even became the direct person in charge.

It can be said that he is extremely familiar with every piece of land and every brick, just like a child raised by himself.

"It seems that you have a lot of affection for this dam." Obito beside him joked.

"After all, this is the dam built by Kisame-sama himself! The merit lies in the present, and the benefit lies in the future. Nanaba-sama said this very well. When people in the future see this dam, they may also feel the same in their hearts. Remember Kisame-sama."

Sakurai Momo held Kisame's arm and looked extremely excited.

It is indeed very heartwarming to do something that benefits people and be remembered for many years and passed down from generation to generation.

Obito nodded and couldn't help but wonder whether what he had done in the Mist Ninja Village would be remembered by the people there?

Even if he remembered it, it would probably have a bad color to it. After all, he had personally killed their Fourth Mizukage. This was a fact that could not be erased.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Qiye did not participate in the next leadership speech.

He called Obito aside and said with a smile: "I specially called you here this time to inform you that you can go to Konoha. Have you heard about the popular elections that are going on there recently?"

Obito nodded. He was now assisting Terumi Mei, so the news was naturally very circulated.

After hearing Qiye's words, his heart moved: "You mean, let me become a candidate?!"

"Yes."

"But doesn't it say that you have to have no criminal record, be a wanted person, and be a traitor?" Obito frowned.

Nanaba smiled and asked: "Then you have a criminal record, are you a wanted person, and are you a traitor? You were just a ninja who was mistaken for a fallen ninja during the Third Ninja War, and Konoha did not recognize you. It’s a traitor.”

It seems...that's true!

Obito's eyes lit up, so he can also become a candidate and participate in the general election for the position of Hokage? !

But when he thought that he had been away for so many years, he probably didn't have many supporters in Konoha, and he would definitely not be able to compete with others, and he felt a little uneasy again.

"Tsk! Didn't you always want to be Hokage? How come you softened up at the critical moment? You've become more confident!" Nanaba said.

Obito smiled bitterly and expressed his concerns.

"Don't worry, there is a saying: Just be strong and leave the rest to Miracle! Just do it. If the position of Hokage is yours, it must be yours! No one else can take it away even if they want to!"

"I have been looking forward to it for so many years, and now I finally have the opportunity. Are you willing to give up?"

Qiye patted his shoulder and turned to leave.

"If you want to go, remember to leave now before the candidate registration deadline. Kakashi will help you take care of these things when you get there."

Watching Nanaba's retreating back, Obito took a deep breath and finally embarked on the journey back to Konoha.

As the other party said, I have been looking forward to it for so many years, and now I finally have the opportunity. If I miss it, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

Moreover, he once made an agreement with Lin that he must move towards the position of Hokage. Now it is time to fulfill his original promise.

One day later, a figure appeared on the road outside Konoha's gate.

"Hey, I thought you wouldn't arrive until tomorrow. It seems that the position of Hokage is really tempting to you!" On the treetops nearby, Kakashi, who was covered in white hair, stared with a pair of dead eyes. The tone was full of ridicule.

Obito turned his head and saw the other person leaning on the tree trunk, holding a comic book in his left and right hands, which were "Intimate Paradise" and "Naruto"

"Long time no see, Kakashi." Obito's tone was filled with sighs. The moment he looked at his best friend was probably the most relaxed moment he had in these years.

"Yeah, long time no see, welcome back."

Kakashi put away the comics, jumped down from the treetop, and gave Obito a hug without hesitation.

"Where's Lin?"

"At home, Qiye sent us the news of your departure. We guess that you will most likely arrive today, so she is preparing dinner."

Kakashi rolled his eyes.

Of course he knew that Lin was obviously more attractive to Obito than he was, so he led her towards the village: "Let's go back first. We'll talk about the registration tomorrow."

……

Regarding Konoha's Hokage election, the three-day registration period passed quickly.

Those responsible for registering candidate information are composed of members of the Kakashi and Hyuga branches, Nara, Inuzuka, Aburame and other families. Before the public notice period begins, no one can determine how many candidates there are.

This approach has also been recognized by everyone.

In the past three days, almost every prominent family in Konoha has been wandering among the people in order to win votes, promising various things that are powerful to them, but with some success.

And today is the first day of the public notice period!

The information of all Hokage candidates will be published on the bulletin board of the Hokage Building and can no longer be modified!
