Chapter 845: 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.
In the VIP section, there are a total of six seats. Other than the Sandaime Hokage and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, the four Kages of the other four great Shinobi Nations have also shown their interest in watching the matches of the First Round of the Hokage Election.
…
On the other side of the Stadium
"Any luck Neji?" asked Sasuke.
Neji–with his Byakugan active–was searching for seats. As the two kids were looking for seats, suddenly they heard a familiar voice and looked in that direction.
Naruto waved both his hands and shouted loudly, "Neji! Sasuke…! This way! This way… Come here quickly… there are still vacant seats here!"
Hearing Naruto's voice, both kids excitedly ran towards him.
Although there is still a lot of time before the First round starts, the venue is already crowded with people. Everyone is excited about the tournament, so they are in a hurry to come to the stadium in order to get better seats for a better view.
As Sasuke and Neji took their seats, Naruto asked, "How is it? The view is good from here right?! Everything is visible!"
Neji nodded, "Indeed." Then he looked over the stadium and spoke, "So many people have come to watch."
"That is natural, after all, this is related to the Hokage Election." Spoke Sasuke, trying to find his father and brother in the stands.
Naruto asked, "Sasuke… Neji… who do you think will become the Godaime Hokage?!"
Neji replied without giving it a thought, "Of course, it will be my Sensei."
Sasuke snorted, "No he won't." and added, "Humph, even the principal stands no chance in front of my Otou-san and Shisui-nii-san… I am telling you, my Otou-san will become Hokage!"
Naruto looked at the venue and spoke, "One day, I will also prove my strength just like them and become the Hokage! Everyone will recognize me!"
Neji looked around him in a daze, and spoke, "I will work harder so that I can also prove my strength… and perhaps become the next Hokage."
Before now, Neji always thought that the branch members existed only to protect the main family. But his Sensei has time and time again proven that that's not the case. Not only did Kuroto become the Principal of the Konoha Ninja Academy, but he was also nominated as one of the four candidates for the position of Godaime Hokage.
Seeing this, Neji realizes that he is more than just a member of the Hyuga Branch family and that he has all the right to dream… a bigger goal. Now… Neji wishes to become the Hokage and protect the entire village, especially the Hyuga Branch… so that everyone can learn what he has learned.
"Keep dreaming you two." Spoke Sasuke with a mocking smile, and declared in a confident tone, "Although I am not very interested in becoming the Hokage… I will still become one for my clan… the two of you can take your turns after that."
Hearing each other's declaration of dreams, the three of them looked at each other with smiles on their faces. Undoubtedly, the goal of all three children at this moment is to become Konoha's Hokage. Their reasons may be different, but their goals are the same.
…
Lounge
Listening to the burst of cheers from the stadium, Yui walked to and fro in the room, and spoke in a panicked voice, "Really… this is… such a big crowd has gathered… Oh, Kami-sama… I did not expect that so many people would come to watch this… Kuroto-kun… so many people have come to watch!"
While Yui paced around, Kuroto comfortably sat on the side. He was reading a book and did not seem to be affected by the crowd.
Finally, Yui couldn't take it anymore and walked towards Kuroto, "Kuroto-kun… don't get nervous… just do your best and enjoy… results don't matter… it doesn't matter whether you win or lose… just do your best… for me… you are the best!"
Seeing her stutter yet trying to give him a motivational speech, Kuroto chuckled, and nodded softly, "Got it."
Knock! Knock!
At this time, the door of the waiting room was knocked following which a man in a Chunin vest walked in, and spoke, "Hyuga Kuroto-sama… please get ready… the first match of the first round is about to start."
"Understood." nodded Kuroto and closed the book he was reading. Then he patted Yui as he said, "All right then, I will be going. Wish me luck."
"All the best. Give it your all!"
Kuroto nodded with a smile, then walked towards the field.

Chapter 846: Chapter – 839 Let’s Have Some Fun
Walking through the passage leading to the fighting arena, Kuroto could feel gradually increasing cheers. As he came out of the passage and stood at the center of the arena waves upon waves of cheers resonated throughout the stadium. It was as if the very ground was trembling from the excitement.
Looking at the gathered crowd, Kuroto was amazed, "Damn, I did not expect this many people to gather… But I suppose this does make sense."
No doubt, the villagers have shown great enthusiasm towards the Godaime Hokage Election.
Before the Godaime Hokage Elections, most of the villagers had no role. The candidates were nominated by the members of the Elder Council, while the Jonin-ranked shinobi were given the right to select the Hokage through voting.
Even the villagers were concerned about this entire matter, they couldn't play any role. Before they knew it, the village had a new Hokage. True, they were made aware of the achievements made by the different nominated candidates, but that's it. They didn't even know how strong the candidates were relative to each other.
But this time is different. Because of the Uchiha Patriarch's proposal in the Council Meeting, a competition was made part of the election in order to test the strength of the nominated candidates. And since the villagers were given the right to watch the tournament.
As such a chance appeared before them, great enthusiasm was ignited in their hearts.
After all, Konoha is a village of Shinobis. Even if not everyone is a shinobi, they are inseparable from shinobi. Children yearn to become great shinobi and serve the village, admiration and respect towards shinobi are engraved in the bones of most adults.
"Kuroto-san." Shisui's call broke Kuroto's train of thought.
Kuroto looked towards Shisui bowing to him. Kuroto nodded with a smile, "Shisui" and returned the greeting.
As both candidates raised their right hands and formed the seal of confrontation gradually cheers dropped and the stadium became quiet.
Including the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Hokage of the Five Great Nations, everyone was looking at Shisui and Kuroto.
Jiraiya was the referee of the match, he appeared in the area with a body flicker and explained the rules of the match. Then he looked at the candidates and asked, "Are the two of you ready?"
Shisui nodded, "Be careful Kuroto-san!"
Kuroto also nodded, "Let's start!"
Seeing that both the candidates were ready, he nodded at them and signaled the start of the battle, "Begin!"
As the signal to start the fight was given, Shisui was the first to make his move. He weaved the hand signs and as he finished several blurry figures started to appear around. Within a few short breaths, the entire arena was filled with hundreds of such figures.
What's strange is that the blurry figures have the same appearance as Shisui, making it difficult to discern the real Uchiha Shisui.
…
In the VIP Stand
Looking at the hundreds of figures of Uchiha Shisui in the arena, Raikage, Tsuchikae, Mizukage, and Kazekage stared at each other in surprise.
The oldest Kage among them–the Tsuchikage–couldn't help but murmur in praise, "Fast… He really lives up to his name… 'Shisui of the Body Flicker.'"
Even Raikage had to admit that unless using his 'Lightning Chakra Armour' he won't be able to move as fast as Uchiha Shisui.
A worried look flashed in the eyes of Hokage. Even if a shinobi of his village was earning the praise of the Kages of other villagers, Hiruzen couldn't say that he was happy to hear it.
From the beginning, Hiruzen was been extremely worried in regards to the match between Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Kuroto.
Earlier he thought that if Shisui were to fight while releasing water, the scene would become embarrassing. The Kages and leaders of the other clans will realize that something has been set up behind the scenes. But considering the strength Shisui has displayed from his first Jutsu, Hirzuen is now worried about the outcome of the battle, and couldn't help but think, 'Will he be able to win this?'
…
On the other side of the Stadium
With his Byakugan activated, Neji looked at the arena with a shocked expression, "This… this… what kind of Jutsu is this?"
As far as Neji can see with his Byakugan, every figure of Shisui had a chakra sign. It's as if all those hundreds of Shisui are Shadow Clones, but 'Shadow Clone Jutsu' can not create so many Clones besides, the hand signs Shisui used were different from the 'Shadow Clone Jutsu', Neji is sure of this because he too has mastered the that Jutsu.
Sasuke thought for a while, then said in an uncertain tone, "Perhaps Shisui-nii-san is using 'Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu'?! I heard Nii-san mention that Jutsu once, it's an A-Ranked Forbidden Jutsu because it consumes too mu–..."
Suddenly a voice interrupted Sasuke, "Don't be an idiot Sasuke… that's not 'Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu'… it's Shisui's unique Body Flicker… the very Jutsu that earned him the moniker of 'Shisui of the Body Flicker.'"
He turned around and exclaimed in surprise, "Shinichi-nii-san… you did not go with the others?"
Shinichi shook his head distastefully, "They are too noisy for my liking."
Having witnessed the strength of Kuroto, Nagato, 'Madara', and 'Hiruko', it has become difficult for him to tolerate the arrogance of his clansmen. In his view, they possess so little strength, yet have such arrogance, which is a disgrace in his eyes. Therefore, he prefers to keep his distance from the ignorant clansmen. Precisely why, he chose to come here.
Neji asked in surprise, "Body Flicker Jutsu? How can that be Body Flicker Jutsu? There are so many of them, and each of them has a chakra sign.!"
Sasuke and Naruto nodded in agreement with Neji and looked at Shinichi in confusion. The Body Flicker Jutsu used by Shisui is completely different from the Body Flicker Jutsu that they know.
Shinichi did not bother to explain, instead, he observed Shisui in the arena, and thought to himself, 'His speed is exponentially faster compared to what I remember. Is it because of Shodaime-sama's cells?'
As far as Shinichi can remember, the last time he saw Shisui use his unique Body Flicker Jutsu, he couldn't create these many 'shadows', moreover, Shisui generally used his 'Shadows' in dim light. The Jutsu wasn't as effective in the bright areas.
But now? That's not the case at all. Not only Shisui is able to create hundreds of 'Shadows' he is able to display such effectiveness in broad daylight, which surprised even Shinichi.
…
On Kakashi's side
Asuma was surprised upon looking at hundreds of Shisui in the arena, and asked Kakashi, "Do you think Kuroto can win?"
Kakashi had no answer, and thought, 'Is Shisui fighting to win?'
On the other side, Shizune looked at Tsunade with a pale expression, "Tsunade-sama… will he be able to win?"
Tsunade was unsure.
Shizune said in a panicked voice, "Maybe… maybe it would be best if we retract our bet on him… otherwise… otherwise…"
Tsunade nodded, "Yes… it's possible that Shisui is fighting to win… go… go… retract our bet!"
…
On the Arena
Looking at hundreds of Shisui surrounding him. Kuroto grinned, unsheathed his Kusanagi Sword, and pointed at Shisui as he said, "Well then… let's have some fun!"
Hundreds of Shisui replied in unison, "I'll try not to disappoint you Kuroto-san!"
