Chapitre 850: Chapter – 843 Hokage Election: Stage 1: Match 2
As the result of the battle was announced and the Four-Purple flame formation was removed, the cheers of the crowd erupted.
The loudest and most excited were definitely the Hyuga Clansmen.
The moment Shisui conceded defeat, and the result of the battle was announced, almost all the Hyuga Clansmen stood up in excitement, clapping, hooting, and shouting praises for Kuroto.
Although Kuroto has only won the first battle of the first round of the Hokage Election, this is still enough to take the Hyuga Clan over the moon.
After all, the person Kuroto defeated was none other than Uchiha Shisui–someone unanimously considered to be–the strongest weapon of the five great Shinobi Villages. By defeating Uchiha Shisui in a one-on-one battle, not only Kuroto proved that the Uchiha Clan is not invincible, but he also saved the falling reputation of the Hyuga Clan.
Looking at the happy and excited faces of his clansmen, Elder Fukiage became gloomy. Unlike the members of the branch family, he was feeling bitter about Kuroto's win. Hyuga Kuroto may have won against Uchiha Shisui and brought great honor to the Hyuga Clan, however, this achievement is made by a member of the branch family who is out of the control of the main family.
Kuroto's win is nothing more than a harsh slap in the face of the main family that has been trying to discredit Kuroto. The cheers of the excited clansmen are a mockery!
Based on the result of this battle, even if Kuroto fails to become the Godaime Hokage, his popularity and reputation in the hearts of Hyuga Clansmen and Konoha Villagers will definitely increase! And it will become more difficult to control Kuroto in the future.
"Damn it! How did I not realize earlier that his existence is the biggest threat to our authority?!" muttered Elder Fukiage while gnashing his teeth in anger.
Of course, even if angered, and frustrated, the thought of killing or eliminating Kuroto never once crossed his mind.
The reason? Elder Fukiage may not realize it, however, the seed of fear was deeply rooted in his heart. He may not want to accept it, but more than anger towards Kuroto, there is fear in his heart, he is afraid of Hyuga Kuroto!
Unaware of Elder Fukiage's thoughts, Kuroto smiled as he looked at the excited crowd, then bowed lightly.
After that, he and Shisui turned around and returned to their waiting room.
…
Waiting Room
As soon as he entered the waiting room assigned to him, he was stunned to find Yui in tears. He looked at her with a confused expression, and said, "Look at you crying and embarrassing yourself… I won! Shouldn't you be happy?"
Struggling to wipe her tears, Yui shook her head, "I… I am happy… these are tears of joy and relief! I… I am just so happy that I couldn't hold back!"
Kuroto shook his head with a smile, "It's just a win, nothing to get so worked up about." Then pulled her into his embrace, and caressed her back, "There… there…"
With her hands around Kuroto's neck, Yui looked at Kuroto with her moistened eyes and nodded, "It may not be anything special for you Kuroto-kun, but for me, it's very important. Everyone is cheering for you, this makes me so happy."
"If this was enough to make you cry, I wonder how you will deal with these things in the future if I were to become Hokage, you will have to get used to it." Said Kuroto with a chuckle.
"I… I think I can try." Nodded Yui with a giggle, as she stared into Kuroto's eyes and leaned in for a kiss that Kuroto quickly reciprocated.
While the two lovers were having an intimate moment, the gate of the waiting room was pushed open, and several people walked in.
They were none other than acquaintances of the two.
Kakashi, Asuma, Might Guy, Kurenai, Anko, Shizune, Hayate, Yugao, as well as Neji.
"Oh my god Kuroto… how did you–?" But as soon as they saw Kuroto and Yui in each other embrace, several people blushed. And Kurenai hurriedly covered Neji's eyes much to the confusion of the young Hyuga.
As soon as the couple noticed their friends barging into the waiting room, they stopped and separated. Kuroto was fine, not affected even if caught in an intimate moment, but Yui was embarrassed, and Anko's teasing only made it worse for her.
After this short episode of getting caught, everyone congratulated Kuroto for his win over Uchiha Shisui and then returned to the stands since the next match would be starting soon.
On the way to the stands, whoever saw Kuroto congratulated him for his win. Kuroto hadn't realized it, but after becoming a Hokage candidate his reputation shot up in Konoha. And almost everyone was enthusiastic to greet him.
…
Compared to the enthusiasm of the other stands, the atmosphere in the Uchiha Stands was a little weird.
Even if Fugaku had prepared himself for such a result considering Kurot and Shisui's friendship, the others in the Uchiha Clan were not ready for such a result.
The Uchiha Clansmen had yet to recover from the shock of Shisui's defeat. They hadn't expected their strongest clansmen to be defeated in such a manner.
Having suffered several humiliations at the hands of Hyuga Kuroto over the years, the Uchiha have come to a unanimous agreement that Kuroto is strong and difficult to deal with, however, if his strength is considered, it's definitely weaker than their strongest.
Yet… yet… Kuroto defeated Shisui! And they really have nothing to blame him because they didn't think that the result would be any different if they replaced Shisui in the arena.
'Sigh…' Most of the Uchiha Clansmen sighed in defeat. Shisui is already defeated, even if they don't want to accept it, the result won't change.
With that on the side, the eyes of all the Uchiha landed on the back of their Patriarch.
"Fugaku-sama… everything is up to you now."
"Patriarch-sama, please show everyone why Uchiha Clan is the strongest!"
"Show them why you deserve to be the Hokage!"
Shouldering the hope and expectation of his clansmen, Fugaku slowly got up, and said, "Rest assured, this time, the position of Hokage belongs to Uchiha Clan, no one can stop that from happening."
Then he turned around and looked at the arena.
Just as he was about to go for the battle, Mikoto held Fugaku's hand, and lightly spoke from behind, "Don't overwork yourself, and may the fortune of war be with you."
"All the best Otou-sama!" added Kiyomi.
Fugaku nodded lightly, then disappeared from the stands with a body flicker and then suddenly appeared in the arena as he spoke in a deep tone of voice, "Hatake Kakashi, come forward… it's time for us to start as well!"
…
VIP Stands
"My… My… the Uchiha Patriarch is quite enthusiastic about this battle it seems." Praised daimyo with a smile.
Sandaime chuckled lightly, "It seems so." Internally, he was a little embarrassed with the way Fugaku appeared in the arena and openly issued a challenge to Kakashi.
…
On Kakashi's side
He had just returned from Kuroto's waiting room and was about to make his way towards his waiting room when Fugaku's voice reached his ears, "Hatake Kakashi, come forward… it's time for us to start as well!"
"It seems he can't wait to fight me!" he muttered, looking at the Uchiha Patriarch standing in the arena.
"Yes." Nodded Jiraiya, then he patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and said, "Be careful of Genjutsu."
Kakashi nodded solemnly. Having used Sharingan for years, Kakashi couldn't be more aware of the abilities of the Sharingan, therefore, he knows what measures to take in order to deal with a Uchiha.
At this time, Tsunade walked over and gave him a small slug, "Hide this inside your clothes. With this, not only your injuries will be healed, but you won't lack chakra either as I will provide it to you."
Kakashi was a little hesitant, "Won't this be against the rules? And what would happen if he finds out?"
Treating injuries is still acceptable, however, providing him Chakra? That would definitely violate the rules.
"It's just a summon, Hyuga Kuroto and Uchiha Shisui also used them, so there is nothing to fret over. Besides, there is no rule that prohibits such conduct, so it will be fine. What's important is that you defeat him." Explained Tsunade.
Thinking of the responsibility that he shoulders, Kakashi nodded with a serious expression, "I understand Tsunade-sama."
After giving the slug to Tsunade, Tsunade held his shoulder, and spoke in a terrifying tone, "Remember, you-can-not-lose-this-game-at-any-cost-understand?"
Taken aback by her terrifying expression, Kakashi hurriedly nodded, "Yes!"
…
Whiish!
With the sound of metal cutting through the wind, a Kunai suddenly was on the field.
Whoosh!
Only a moment later, with a silver flash, Kakashi's figure appeared at the center of the field as he caught the Kunai and looked at Fugaku with a serious expression.
'It's time for the second battle of the first stage of Godaime Hokage Elections!'
