Chapter 838 Declaration of Dreams
Konohagakure
Early Morning of the day, people began to gather at the venue of the Hokage Campaign from all over the village. The venue appeared to be a stadium with a large capacity.
Because of the fermentation for the past few days, everyone was interested in the Hokage Campaign and who would become the next Hokage. The streets were filled with banners supporting different candidates.
Everyone was excited about the first round of the Hokage Election. The adults were discussing the different advantages that each candidate brought to the table, the children were supporting their idols, and the vendors were roaming through the streets trying to sell their stuff. The village appeared so lively and full of energy as if in the midst of a festival.
In the midst of all the excitement, under Jiraiya’s lead, several people carrying a large sedan chair with the emblem of the Land of Fire slowly entered the stadium from the main entrance.
As soon as they walked inside the stadium, Sarutobi Hirzen and Utatane Koharu came down and greeted the man sitting inside the large sedan chair, “Daimyo-sama thank you for sparing your precious time to watch the first round of the Election… it’s our pleasure to have you here.”
“Hm… No worries Hiruzen. The Hokage Election is something I too care about. And since you sent me the invitation, it was natural for me to accept the invitation. Now, why don’t you introduce me to the different candidates? I would like to personally know the people who will be leading Konoha in the coming years.”
“Yes… yes.. of course.” Nodded Hiruzen, and said, “Let’s first get comfortable.”
“Hm.” Nodded Daimyo as he followed Hiruzen to the VIP section.
