The prestige of the First and Second Hokage was so high that no more than two-thirds of the elders ever dared to disobey them.
This rule has been set, but it hasn't been put to use yet.
Kawasaki casually remarked, "Back in the day, there were plenty of people who could have succeeded the Fourth Hokage, but why did Nawaki, Dan, and Sakumo all die young due to accidents, while Minato, who had no background, took the position?"
Upon hearing this, Risha's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the teacup.
Kawasaki laughed heartily and said, "Don't be nervous, Hizashi, you're in charge here."
Hiashi replied with a wry smile, "Kawasaki, you can't just make things up without any evidence."
Kawasaki shook his head indifferently and said:
"Other matters might require evidence, but what evidence do we need for White Teeth's matter?"
Richa remained silent.
Indeed, other things are fine if there's no evidence.
But the white teeth thing doesn't make logical sense.
Completing the mission or rescuing your companions are just different choices.
No matter how great the loss, the village shouldn't be spreading those rumors.
Back then, White Fang was considered a great hero of the village, with outstanding achievements.
Under normal circumstances, even if there is some background noise, it should have been dealt with quietly in the dark areas long ago.
It certainly wouldn't cause such a big fuss.
The strangest thing is that when the rumors first started, the Third Hokage pretended not to know anything about them.
As soon as White Fang died, the Third Hokage immediately came out to quell the storm, saying that White Fang was a hero and should not have been treated like that.
They even went through the motions of punishing a few people.
Kakashi was young then and couldn't understand many things, so he thought the Third Hokage was a kind-hearted person.
He has been loyal to the Third Generation for so many years.
..
Seeing that Hijiri remained silent, Kawasaki continued:
"I've discussed these things with Kakashi."
Hishi picked up his teacup and took a sip.
He was thinking to himself that if he told Kakashi, it would mean that Kakashi and the Third Hokage might not be of one mind.
Even though Kakashi has been quite depressed in recent years, there are very few people like him who are both powerful and die-hard fans of Hokage.
This is equivalent to cutting off an arm of the Third Hokage.
Kawasaki added, "Looking at it now, there really aren't many people who could be the Fifth Hokage."
"Although the three disciples of the third generation are all in the village."
"But Jiraiya doesn't have a good reputation, and Orochimaru loves to do research and even defected once."
Tsunade had no desire to become Hokage.
"No matter who the third generation nominates, he will probably only get a handful of votes."
Our Uchiha clan and your Hyuga clan are the two clans with the most Jonin in Konoha.
If we can force the Third Hokage to choose a new successor.

"Our chances of winning are very high!"
After hearing this, Hizashi became unusually serious.
Indeed, as Kawasaki said, the Third Hokage currently has limited options.
Since Kawasaki rose to prominence, the prestige of the Hokage lineage has gradually declined.
Many ninja clans were quite disappointed with the Third Hokage.
Especially regarding the disgraceful deeds of Shimura Danzo, although everyone knows that he did many shady things, the details are unclear.
The Third Hokage simply blamed Danzo for many things, as long as Danzo was executed.
This is a golden opportunity to rebuild our reputation.
However, no one expected that Shimura Danzo would actually escape!
They escaped from a heavily guarded prison!
Moreover, this prison was specially designed to greatly suppress the effectiveness of ninjutsu.
Even a man in his sixties like Danzo was able to escape from prison.
The consequence of this was that the already infamous Third Hokage's reputation collapsed once again.
Many people speculate that Danzo Shimura's escape was intentionally orchestrated by the Third Hokage.
As reputation declines, so does trust.
However, due to the Third Hokage's years of management, he controlled a large number of Anbu forces.
Despite their many grievances, everyone could only endure them.
Hizashi sensed from Kawasaki's words that the other party seemed to want to unite the major clans and elect a new Hokage through a vote!
Thinking of this, Hizashi stared intently at Kawasaki.
Is the Uchiha clan actually plotting to become the Hokage?
However, the Uchiha clan only has two honorary elders who have not made any significant contributions to the village. How can they compete for the position of Hokage?
The process of electing Hokage begins with nominating candidates.
If an honorary elder is nominated, more than half of the elders must agree before the vote of confidence can proceed.
The nominations for the Hokage and advisor elders do not require an initial vote.
They proceeded directly to the trust vote stage.
Confidence votes typically have a grace period of about two months.
So that the nominee can campaign for votes.
Every elder and every Jonin in Konoha holds a vote.
If you receive more votes than the other candidates, you will become the new Hokage.
When the Second Hokage appointed Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sarutobi returned to the village and was able to take over the position through a vote.
In fact, the selection of Hokage has always included a voting process.
Kawasaki's first step is to forcefully push for the election of the Fifth Hokage.
But this requires the approval of a majority of the elders.
Facing Hizashi's gaze, Kawasaki continued confidently:
"The development of the major clans in Konoha has been somewhat slow, which is due to the numerous casualties caused by the wars of the past few years."
"In recent years, there have been fewer tasks, and everyone has been living a less than ideal life."
"If more funds could be injected, it would surely promote better development."
"You agree, right, Japan?"
Kawasaki smiled and looked at Hizashi.
Hizashi recalled Kawasaki's business activities in recent years and understood Kawasaki's plans.
"With a large influx of funds, each ninja clan can indeed achieve long-term development."
The daily difference should be in harmony with the Way.
"So, let's be frank. The main reason why the Hyuga clan is developing slowly is due to a lack of manpower."
"The security force has taken up a lot of your manpower, and your Hyuga clan seems to be slow in training the new generation."
As he spoke, Kawasaki took out a storage scroll from his person.
It was placed on the table (of the money) and pushed towards the daily change.
"Here is 100 million, which is our Uchiha's investment in the Hyuga clan. In the future, we will have more cooperation."
Hisashi's cup nearly fell onto the table.
Your words are too blunt; it's like you're practically handing money over to my door.
Hizashi said with a wry smile, "Kawasaki, shouldn't you have told my brother about this?"
Kawasaki shook his head and said:
“His thinking is old-fashioned, and I don’t like dealing with him. Just tell him this and I’ll be fine.”
