Chapter 843: Chapter – 836 Do You Even Want to Become Hokage?
Kuroto's Home
While the entire Konoha was enveloped in chaos because of the Hokage Election, Kuroto didn't pay too much attention to this matter. All his attention was on the 'Type II Biological Armour'.
'Let's see… I will have to design a new molder… then…'
'Nutrient Solution has to be optimized.'
'Fusion Solution has to be improved.'
'Cell Reagent has to be created for the needs.'
'And all these things…'
One after another, Kuroto wrote the tasks he had to complete for 'Type II Biological Armour'.
While Kuroto was busy, Yui entered the room and asked, "Kuroto-kun, are you really not going to go? This is a big matter… you have been nominated as one of the four candidates… you should discuss this with Patriarch."
"There is no need." Said Kuroto with a smile, then he looked up and asked, "By the way, Yui, did you do what I asked? How are my odds?"
Even Yui was speechless at Kuroto's carefree tone, and sighed, "Sigh… Kuroto-kun… really… Even at such a time rather than worrying about the elections you are more interested in such trivial things? Unlike you… the others are working hard for the election, they are visiting other Clans in order to get their support… Even Kakashi-san has already visited major clans!"
"Huh? Since when did Kakashi start doing such boring things?" muttered Kuroto in surprise, he did not expect Kakashi to do such a thing, and sighed in fake disappointment, "I am disappointed."
Seeing Kuroto's overacting, Yui held her forehead and sighed, "Sigh… you really don't plan on doing anything, do you?"
Kuroto answered, "Well, I didn't say that." And added after a pause, "I will do what must be done." Then he looked at Yui, and asked, "Anyway… so… as I was asking… what are the current odds?"
'You will do what must be done huh?' thought Yui with a smile. Then she looked at Kuroto and answered, "Well… I did inquire secretly… but the problem is, currently, there is no official notice on the list of nominated candidates, therefore, the odds haven't been settled yet, but… well… I did catch whispers… and they are not in your favor…"
"That means, for me, the odds are highest." Muttered Kuroto with a smirk.
"The odds are highest for you… which means that the villagers are least optimistic about you! How can you laugh about this? Shouldn't you be a little worried?" asked Yui in disbelief, and added in a dissatisfied tone, "Humph… everyone is looking down on you… you need to show them that they are all wrong… you are just as good as anyone… in fact, you are better than others!"
Among the four candidates, one is considered the strongest Shinobi on the side of the five great nations, the second person is renowned as the 'Silver Hunter' because of the Flying Raijin Jutsu that he has mastered, while the third person is the Patriarch of the strongest clan in Konoha. Compared to these three, Kuroto doesn't have much reputation or glory.
True, people appreciate Kuroto because of the results he has shown in the Anbu and Ninja Academy, but that is not enough to garner fame, reputation, and respect like Shisui, Kakashi, and Fugaku.
Most of the populace of Konoha believes that it will be one of these three to become the Godaime Hokage.
Of course, Kuroto isn't bothered by what people think of him.
But unlike Kuroto, Yui is not happy with how everyone is underestimating him.
Seeing her dissatisfied expression, Kuroto spoke, "Now… now… don't let them bother you… I was nominated as a candidate… is that not enough, are you not happy?"
Taken aback, Yui immediately looked at Kuroto, and said with a bright smile, "Of course, I am happy!" then she held Kuroto's hand and added, "Kuroto-kun… you are amazing… you are the first person in our clan to be nominated… I never imagined that one day you would reach such a height… Of course, I wish that you succeed and become better than anyone… but still… I am… I am really happy seeing you like this… this is like a dream… if it is really a dream, then I do not wish for it to end… who knows… you might even become the Hokage. I wonder what you will look like wearing that Hat and Haori."
"I suppose now I will have to win the election to show you how I look while wearing that hat and haori." Muttered Kuroto with a smile.
"Humph… but how will you win?" asked Yui, and pointed out, "You are not even visiting anyone… The vote of Confidence is also very important… yet you are so carefree about it. If you wish to win, then you need the support of Jonins."
Most Konoha Jonins are part of different Shinobi Clans, therefore, to obtain the support of Jonins one needs the support of those clans.
This is the reason all the candidates including Kakashi and the Uchiha Patriarch are visiting different shinobi clans, asking for their support in the election.
Hearing Yui's question, Kuroto shrugged, "There is no need to worry about these things… Hokage-sama and Koharu-sama will take care of it."
Yui asked helplessly, "Then what are you going to do?"
Kuroto answered with a smile, "Of course, I will stay at home and not disturb them so that they can do their work."
Yui sighed, and asked, "Do you even want to become Hokage?"
Kuroto remained silent.
Considering the current situation, the chances that he will win the election are very small.
The Hokage Faction supports Kakashi, the Uchiha Clan supports the Shisui and Fugaku. Unlike them, Kuroto doesn't have such support.
Moreover, currently, he is extremely busy with his projects and has no time to put his attention on the Hokage matter. Besides, even if he does want to become Hokage, as long as Kakashi is the candidate that the Hokage Faction supports, he won't be able to become Hokage unless he reveals his true strength. Which is a big no-no for him.
Hokage's position is indeed a bit enviable, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not important enough for Kuroto to reveal his strength.
Therefore, Kuroto has decided that for now, he will only watch and let things happen.
In any case, officially, the election won't commence until the Daimyo of the Land of Fire arrives in Konoha, and that will take at least a week, so he has enough time to plan things.

Chapter 844: Chapter – 837 Shizune’s Secret Mission
A few days later
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire safely arrived in Konoha, and it was finally the day, the Elections started.
For the first round, it was decided that there would be a battle between the candidates in order to test their strengths.
Unsurprisingly, Kuroto and Shisui will be fighting, and Kakashi and Fugaku will be duking it out. The winners of the first round will compete in the second round of the election.
All over Konoha, the villagers were discussing who would be the winners of the first round.
It's debatable who the candidate with the most support is, but the candidate with the least support is undeniably Hyuga Kuroto.
Whatever support Kuroto had earlier was lost.
If it was Hatake Kakashi or Uchiha Fugaku… there was a possibility that Kuroto might win, as the strength of the three of them is somewhat relative, but against Uchiha Shisui? Not a chance!
Almost no one thinks that Hyuga Kuroto will be able to win against Uchiha Shisui!
…
A Dark & Secret Room, somewhere in Konohagakure
Knock! Knock!
A figure appeared outside the secret room and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
As the approval to enter came, the figure opened the door and walked in, "Tsunade-sama, I have returned."
Standing in the cover of shadow, Tsunade looked at the figure, and asked in a solemn tone of voice, "Did anyone notice you Shizune?"
Looking at the two people who seemed to be carrying an extremely serious aura, Izumi couldn't help but think, 'At such a critical time Tsunade-sama gave a mission to Shizune-san? What kind of mission was it? Considering the serious atmosphere, it has to be something that can affect the entire village!'
While Izumi was busy with her thoughts, Shizune replied, "There is a situation." her tone was a bit panicked, she bit her lips and looked at the ground as she apologized, "Forgive me Tsunade-sama… I could not complete the mission without alerting anyone… at the last minute… I encountered Yui… and… and she recognized me!"
'Huh? Shizune-san encountered Yui-san?' Izumi was taken aback, and thought, 'Is the mission related to the Hyuga Clan?'
BOOM!
Izumi's thoughts were broken as a loud slam echoed in the room.
Apparently, Tsunade had slammed her fist into the wall in anger, "Damn him! How could Hyuga Kuroto do such a thing, he is one of the four candidates. Does he have no shame? Does he have no pride? Does he have honor?"
Looking at the furious Tsunade, Shizune was helpless, and slandered her Shishou under her breath, "Aren't you the same? Unlike him… you are already a member of the Elder Council… yet you are doing such a thing!"
"Shizune!" roared Tsunade in anger.
Shizune hurriedly shut her mouth, "Eeeep!"
Izumi looked at the two people in confusion and suspicion. She was unable to understand what was going on.
She vaguely felt that this matter was related to the Elections, but couldn't really understand the matter completely.
Before she could try to understand the situation, Tsunade looked at her and ordered, "Izumi… leave us for a while… I must discuss this matter with Shizune alone… This is very important!"
"I understand Tsunade-sama!" Izumi nodded, and quickly left the room.
Now that it was just Tsunade and Shizune, the Shishou calmed her breath, and asked, "Explain to me… did you buy both games?"
Shizune nodded earnestly, "Yes… as per your order… I bought both games."
"Very good… it does not matter if you were spotted by Yui." Nodded Tsunade in relief.
Shizune asked in worry, "But Tsunade-sama… Was it wise to bet such a big amount? It was borrowed money… … if we lose… we will not be able to hide in the Shadow of Konoha… We will have to run away!"
Tsunade folded her hands under her breast and spoke confidently, "This time will be different. My win is all but assured. We just have to wait for a while, and all that money will be ours! We'll be rich!"
Looking at Tsunade's haughty expression, Shizune had a bad feeling, 'I just hope that nothing goes wrong.'
…
Kuroto's Home, Hyuga District
"I am home!"
Seeing Yui return, Kuroto lifted his head from the scroll, and asked, "Did you buy the game?"
Yui nodded, "Yes." Then muttered with a strange expression, "Kuroto-kun… guess whom I met at the betting place?"
"Who?" asked Kuroto with an absent-minded expression.
Yui answered, "Shizune."
Puff!
Kuroto was taken aback, "What?! Shizune you say?!"
Yui nodded, "Yes, and for some reason she was disguised which was strange." And added, "What's weird is that she placed her bet on you. When I asked her if she was sure that she wanted to bet such a big amount on you given that your opponent is Uchiha Shisui… she ran away without giving a reply."
Kuroto shrugged, "Only Kami-sama knows what she is thinking."
Internally he couldn't help but slander Tsunade, 'Tch, now she has become one of the elders, doesn't she have any bottom line? She is trying to profit! What's more troublesome is that she has placed her bet on me… she is sure to win this time… and if she wins… it's going to be bad luck for me!'
"What do I do?"
