Anime Heroine Who Travels Through the Blackened Way

"It looks like everyone is here, so let's make a long story short. Today, it's time for us to decide on the sixth-generation Hokage candidate. The two candidates are Kakashi Hatake and Asma Sarutobi, both of whom are One of the most outstanding Jōnin in our village, so I deeply feel that the elders cannot make a judgment alone. Therefore, this time, the chance is in the hands of the members, and they will decide who will be chosen by secret ballot. The perfect fit to be the new Hokage."

On the also decorated elder's seat, Hinata, who was sitting in the center, took the lead with a smile, while several cameras beside him faithfully recorded the scene in the hall, and then transmitted it to the public screen on Konoha Square. Above, it is to broadcast this scene in an open form to interested audiences in the village. Not only the residents of Konoha Village's own village, but also other villagers who wish to collect information.

In the past, although the succession information of each ninja can definitely not be covered up, it will probably be known to the ninja world after a period of time. Needless to say, the reason is needless to say, such as this public broadcast, will there be any villages in the future? I don't know if I follow suit, but it's definitely unprecedented.

Asma and Kakashi were standing in front of the two single-person podiums facing the audience. Obviously, since the system needs to be done, it needs to be a complete set. Since they have said that the public needs to know the intentions of the two candidates, then Just let them speak for themselves.

"This time I will explain some of today's rules. First of all, the two candidates must answer the questions from the elders, and then enter the questioning time of the members, and then they can also tell their own thoughts. At the end of the two's speeches After that, the members will start a secret ballot, and finally, after the elders have counted the number of votes, they will decide who will be elected as the sixth Hokage based on the number of votes."

It was none other than Ino who stood on the side of the elders' seat as secretary. The blond girl in a formal dress obviously showed her temperament and heritage as the daughter of a big family, and her tone was gentle and soft, which made all the family heads in the audience nodded, and the father, Haiichi Yamanaka, even more in the eyes Can't hide the pride. After all, being able to stand out in such a scene today is basically a doomed position in the future. Although Ino can't compare with Hinata and Lin, the two female elders, she is still more than enough for the position of general secretary. .

"The rules are clear, are the two candidates ready?"

Lin raised her head slightly and looked around at the scene in front of her. There was no doubt that this was a scene that had never appeared in her experience and cognition. She had to record it well in her mind.

"I'm ready."

Asma and Kakashi are both dressed as ninjas today. After all, Naruto is a very special leader. The premise that highlights their identities is not a businessman but a ninja. The two friends who had been with each other for many years looked at each other and both confirmed their status.

"Very good. Then, the ceremony will begin. Please report your identities and resumes."

Lu Jiu, who was sitting on the left seat, also smiled and reminded him that although the elder's identity came suddenly, it did not prevent him from sincerely applauding the excellent ninjas in his village.

Nodding slightly to Kakashi, Asma spoke first: "My name is Sarutobi Asma, the ninja registration number is 010829, I am 31 years old this year, I was once fortunate to be one of the twelve guardians of the Kingdom of Fire, and I am fortunate to participate. I am very honored for this election.”

This kind of introduction is undoubtedly quite regular, and according to the ninja registration number reported by Asma, the records below the ninja number are carefully listed at the bottom of the big screen in the square. They are graduates from the ninja school. The age at the time, as well as the specific age group promoted to Chunin and Shangnin, the rest is the most important number of tasks completed. He also gave a more detailed comment on the title of the Twelve Guardians, which Asma was proud of, proving that it was an elite title that once guarded the kingdom of fire. There is no doubt that such an approach is quite considerate to the people. After all, they do not have the right to know the information contained in the ninja number, and it is now listed on the square screen, which undoubtedly makes these villagers feel about these past. Those who don't know very well have a general understanding.

Of course, this is only a superficial part of the secret. The really valuable information is hidden in the surname and the relationship between master and apprentice. Of course, there is no need to let the public know about these things.

"My name is Hatake Kakashi, my ninja registration number is 009720, I'm 30 years old this year, I'm sorry I don't have a title I can hold, please forgive me."

Kakashi's slightly sarcastic self-introduction made the atmosphere a little more lively, although he does have the titles of 'Konoha Technician' and 'Sharing Kakashi', but these two identities come from the belt. Of course, with Kakashi's character, Kakashi will not use this kind of other people's things to give himself money.

However, despite not having the title of Asma's Twelve Guardians, Kakashi's information still aroused considerable interest.

"Hello? I read that right? Graduated from ninja school at the age of 5, and upgraded to Chunin at the age of 6?!"

"Really? This is too early for Mr. Asma's graduation time? Is this guy a genius ninja?"

With the mentality of watching the fun, the square is already full of enthusiastic Konoha people. For them, the Hokage update in the past was basically that the top management reported the name after they had discussed it, and then announced it directly in the village. . And now, this complete Naruto birth situation is displayed directly in front of them, and it is basically impossible for people who are not interested to exist.

Naturally, after seeing the respective messages of Asma and Kakashi, the discussions in the square naturally rang out. Asma's information is good in that he has the title of Guardian Twelve, but his graduation grade and Chunin age are 9 and 12 years old respectively. In this regard, he is undoubtedly much inferior to Kakashi.

And there are also the number of tasks completed. Because of the age gap when he became a ninja and a series of reasons, Asma’s number of tasks is far less than that of Kakashi. Take S-level tasks as an example, Asma’s completion number is No more or no less than 20 times, but Kakashi has a full 42 times, which is twice as high as he is with a fraction. Most of the rest of the missions are the same, and Asma obviously can't compete with Kakashi in these respects.

Of course, the ninja scores of the two are only part of the comparison after all. After all, we are choosing 'Shadow' instead of 'Best Ninja'. These two titles may be very close, but there is still a qualitative difference.

"Very good, then let's go to the questioning session of the elders. The first question: How do you two think about the next development direction of Konoha Village?"

Because this election ceremony was basically fiddled with by Hinata herself, she naturally had to take the lead in everything, and then Lin and Lu Jiu on the side learned how to deal with it on the spot. It should be emptied.

Asma and Kakashi said that it is impossible not to be nervous. Although neither of them has much obsession with becoming Hokage, since they are here, it is naturally impossible to hold back. However, the two of them are also rare elites, and the knowledge and vision accumulated by their age are also quite broad, so there is no situation where they can't answer.

"Then, I will venture to express my personal opinion."

It was Asma who spoke first. This third-generation son is also the current patriarch of the Sarutobi clan. Although it was the first time to participate in such an election ceremony, he was not stage frightened: "Since the war in the Chunin Exam a few years ago, Some of the disadvantages of Konoha Village are also quite obvious. The outdated defense measures and security system have led to many loopholes. Fortunately, the economic growth of Konoha Village has been quite gratifying in the past few years. Therefore, my personal opinion is that if you are lucky enough to become the sixth On behalf of Hokage, then we will first vigorously promote the improvement of the new security system, and try to rebuild Konoha Village into a safe No. 1 Ninja Village."

There is no doubt that no matter what kind of person he is, the key is to look at his position. Now that he is in a position where he can state his political opinions, Asma’s attitude has also subconsciously entered a state, and his words gradually become more and more important. toughened up.

(PS1:...Ah, it's really self-inflicted and can't live... As expected, I still lack knowledge. To write an election picture, I have to review the news of the US imperial election...)

(PS2: In short, the key trick is that the two candidates must not have the same political views, right?)

Naruto Election (2)

Regarding Asma's speech, the members of the audience also had different reactions. Although they did not show it on their expressions, the flickering in their eyes fully explained their inner thoughts.

There is no doubt that although Asma himself is a gentle and generous uncle to his fellow villagers, he has always been quite strict in his external attitude, not only highlighting his ruthless bravery towards the enemy in battle. Moreover, as the biological child of the third generation, when he was young, he was quite dissatisfied with the conservative path of tolerance for the moderation of the third generation, otherwise he would not be at odds with the father and son between the three generations.

Even though the washing of the years and the formation of the family have worn away many edges and corners of this good man, once he is placed in a position where he can speak freely, the hawkish style of the other party that has been hidden in his heart for a long time still involuntarily appears. Out, even though he has carefully used more conservative wording in his speech, but his position has not changed.

Of course, this is mostly because the death of the third generation is due to a series of reasons caused by the aging of the defensive measures of Konoha Village. Therefore, for Asma, changing and improving the defense capabilities of the village needs to be the first priority.

The congressmen could only be silent because of their status, but the people in the square were different. Many people subconsciously started to talk about the candidate's speech.

"That's right, if it weren't for the loopholes in the defensive measures, Lord Sandaime wouldn't have been attacked."

"That's right, Asma-sama is the son of the third generation, and it is understandable that he wants to stand up from the position where his father fell."

"However, no matter what the reason is, the meaning of improving defense measures is to expand and improve armaments in the end."

"If that's the case, no matter how you look at it, it will affect the trade level of the village."

The villagers are not all political idiots. There are some people who can see the possible consequences of these measures. That's right, Asma's speech indicates that he will definitely increase his armament after he takes office, but the consequence of doing so is that he will spend a lot of budget to adjust his armament. A simple example of strict control is that in the past, the trade fleet entering and leaving the village may only need to be checked once, but then it may need two or more times. It is undeniable that time-sensitive businesses are affected. Not to mention the chilling and tense atmosphere itself is an incentive to subconsciously shrink business activities.

And such a speech also made the three elders on the elders' table look different. Lin and Lu Jiu were surprised with a bit of deep thought. They were not stupid. Naturally, they could see how such an open election meeting might affect the village. Those with brains could immediately start from the core of the electorate. Read out the possible development of the village in the mind.

Asma's speech like this not only revealed his own views, but also made others understand that as long as he succeeds, then the main direction of Konoha Village will be towards armament and expansion. Such a direction will undoubtedly have a negative impact on business and foreign trade. But in contrast, for the armament industry in this village, such as the ninja tool industry headed by the Tiantian family, the ninja dog cultivation of the Inuzuka family, and the pharmaceutical industry in Konoha Village itself, Yushenshui and blood refining pills, etc., there will be More orders and support will naturally lead to a series of related industries.

In this way, the parliamentarians who support Asma will choose to stand, because this candidate's succession will undoubtedly support their own interests.

But there are obviously people who don't support Asma. There is no doubt that those business sectors that rely on foreign trade and transactions, such as Akihabara's tourism revenue and various commodity export transactions, must not want to Asma is on top.

"Very well, then next, let's ask another candidate, Hatake Kakashi, to speak."

Nodding with satisfaction, Hinata turned her eyes to Kakashi. If she guessed correctly, her instructor should have a different opinion.

"First of all, thank you for this opportunity to speak. I am very honored."

Kakashi also spoke calmly, although he has always been lazy on weekdays, but this is also an adult who has rushed to the third, and he must not be lacking in speech etiquette: "Since I can remember, what I have seen before my ears has been heard. What I smelled is nothing else, but all kinds of war information. As a ninja in Konoha Village, I have seen and heard countless bad news caused by war with my own eyes and ears. As a ninja, my It is my duty to protect this village with my own life. But..."

After a slight pause, Kakashi's eyes couldn't contain a hint of sadness: "Many of my comrades who fought side by side with me, I even remember their last words when they were dying, the most they said. Not 'revenge for me' or 'kill all those enemies' but say: 'Kakashi, you must live, because we haven't seen what a peaceful world is like, you must take a look for us Look at that world'."

The entire venue subconsciously fell silent, not only the election hall, but also the originally excited audience in the square. Kakashi's words evoked nothing else, but the greatest expectations of those unlucky companions in the war-torn years they had also endured.

The Ninja World War had broken out three times before this. Even Konoha, the head of the Ninja Village, was also scarred. It was not only one or two times that the village was infiltrated by spies. It was not just the sacrificed ninjas. In the conflict and outbreak of technology, there are not a few civilians who are accidentally involved in it. After all, not every time the crowd can be evacuated in advance.

For humans, death is sometimes really too cheap. The collapse of the building, the broken road, or even a small detonating talisman may lead to the loss of life. The family or neighbors who were talking one moment, the blood splattered on the spot in front of the next moment, for some older generation As far as the villagers are concerned, it is not simply the number of casualties recorded, but the nightmare they have witnessed with their own eyes.

Because it is in the midst of war, sacrifice is unavoidable. And the only thing that can stop this kind of sacrifice is peace after the war is over.

If the war comes again, it would not be difficult for the villagers to donate part of the funds, but the difficulty is that some people not only donate money, but even donate the lives of their family members.

This is also a sadness that is difficult for ninjas to face. It can be said that among the older generation of ninjas who are still alive and appearing here, there are basically no people who have never seen their partners sacrifice, and they are well aware of it. , what those unlucky partners yearn for is definitely not the so-called hatred, but the peace they have sacrificed but haven't had time to see.

"So, if I can be fortunate enough to be the sixth Hokage. My idea is that I hope that Konoha's desire for peace can be announced to other villages and the world, and we don't want the hard-won peace to be broken. But if Whoever wants to provoke a war will never let them succeed!”

Kakashi's words broke the previous contemplation and silence, and after saying his own words, the white-haired Joinin also bowed slightly and stopped speaking.
