Chapter 870 Vote of Confidence II
Bang Bang
As the fireworks spread colourful burst in every direction, the bustling square in front of the Hokage Building came alive with an electric atmosphere. The air was thick with anticipation and excitement, as a multitude of voices melded together, creating a cacophony that reverberated through the very core of the bustling gathering.
The harmonious convergence of diverse voices created a symphony of sound, akin to a resounding crescendo that surged through Konoha. The collective murmurings, exclamations, and cheers blended into a unified chorus, ascending into the open expanse above. Like mighty thunderclaps punctuating a serene and cloudless sky, this tremendous sound wave echoed persistently, enveloping the surroundings with undeniable energy.
As the air crackled with excitement and the resounding echoes filled the square, the atmosphere pulsated with an intoxicating blend of joy, anticipation, and reverence. It was a momentous occasion, the day the Godaime Hokage of Konoha will be chosen.
Perched atop the roof of the Hokage Building, Jiraiya surveyed the bustling square, brimming with celebratory fervour, and couldn't help but reminisce, murmuring, "It feels just like the last time."
Back then, Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru were the celebrated figures. Fresh from the conclusion of the Third Great Shinobi War, the Konoha villagers poured their enthusiasm into the Yondaime Hokage Election, resulting in a day as vibrant as the present one. Recalling those memories, Jiraiya's lips curved into a faint grin.
Beside Jiraiya, Tsunade focused her attention on Uchiha Fugaku, also standing on the rooftop of the Hokage Building. Observing Fugaku's confident expression and the intensity of his smile, Tsunade's brows furrowed.
It wasn't the outcome of the Vote of Confidence that concerned Tsunade, but rather the aftermath of Fugaku's loss. The more confident a person is, the harder they fall upon failure. Handling an irrational Fugaku would prove challenging.
As a member of the Senju clan, Tsunade understands better than most that the Uchiha are driven by intense emotions. If their emotions spiral out of control, there is seemingly no limit to what they might do.
