Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan-Chapter 835 Fourth Candidate

“Huh? Hundred Million Ryo you say?”

Kakashi was surprised. He assumed that Kuroto would ask for some secret or forbidden Jutsu or perhaps higher political status as compensation, he even thought that Kuroto might ask for Hokage Faction’s help on the ‘Cursed Seal’ Juinjutsu, but who would have thought, Kuroto’s demand is entirely different.

Instead of some Jutsu or higher political status, Kuroto demanded money. Believing that he might have been mistaken, Kakashi asked, “You said that you want a Hundred Million Ryo?”

Kuroto nodded, “That is correct.” And asked in confusion, “Is that too much?”

Kakashi shook his head, “No, it’s not too much… but are you sure you want money and not something else?”

Kuroto nodded, “Yes. Currently, I want money… all the money I can get.”

“Might I ask why you need so much money?” asked Kakashi, a little confused.

“Oh nothing, just some personal stuff, you know.” Answered Kuroto with a smile. Of course, he isn’t going to give any details to Kakashi. And Kuroto believes that Kakashi is smart enough to not pry deliberately.

100 million Ryo is indeed a huge amount for an individual, however, for a great Shinobi Village like Konoha, it’s not too much. Besides, if they can eliminate Uchiha Shisui at a small price of 100 Million Ryo, then it’s a very good deal.

Kakashi believes that Hokage-sama would agree, therefore, after a while of silence, he nodded, “All right, you will receive 100 million Ryo by the end of this week.”

Kuroto’s smile widened, “Then we have a deal.”

His objective was completed, and Kakshi decided to take his leave, “Well, I have to inform Hokage-sama about this, I will take my leave.”

Kuroto nodded, “No problem.” And as if he suddenly remembered something, he said, “Oh, and don’t underestimate the Uchiha Patriarch, he might surprise you.”

The Uchiha Patriarch has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. He may not be as skilled as Shisui in using the Mangekyou Sharingan, but his abilities are powerful enough.

Of course, Kuroto doesn’t know all the abilities of Fugaku’s Mangekyou Sharingan, but he does have experience against Fugaku’s ‘Taikyokuzu’, and that thing is dangerous.

Kakashi nodded with a smirk, “Don’t worry… I believe that I can handle myself against the Uchiha Patriarch.” Then left the Principal’s Office.

Clearly, Kakashi didn’t take Kuroto’s words seriously. In Kakashi’s mind compared to the threat of Shisui, Uchiha Fugaku poses no difficulty.

Kuroto smiled seeing Kakashi’s reaction and chose not to say anything. He did do his part and warned Kakashi. Whether Kakashi takes his words seriously or not is not up to him.

Putting this problem at the back of his mind, Kuroto turned back to what he was doing.

Not long after another announcement was made by the Elder Council in regard to the Election.

‘Elder Utatane Koharu has nominated the current Principal of Konoha Ninja Academy, Hyuga Kuroto as the candidate for the Hokage Election.’

In this way, Kuroto became the fourth candidate.

As soon as this information was released entire village was taken aback.

Shisui, Kuroto, and Kakashi are often called the Sannin of the new generation, and now that they are part of the election, more and more people started to call them the Sannin of the New Generation and garnered all the attention.

From the Patriarchs of the major Shinobi Clans to the commoners, everyone heatedly discussed the upcoming Hokage Election. Even the Kages of other villages were interested in knowing who will be Konoha’s Godaime Hokage.

It didn’t take long for the news to reach the doors of the Uchiha District.

…

Uchiha District

“Are you serious? Hyuga Kuroto is the fourth candidate? But he is from the branch family of the Hyuga Clan, how can he be nominated?”

“Does Hyuga Clan support him? If they do support him, then they might free him.”

“I beg to differ… I don’t believe the main family has the guts to free him… perhaps this is the idea of that old hag. She might have thought of using him as a chip to restrain Shisui.”

“Yes, it makes sense… if Shisui fights against Hyuga Kuroto, he won’t go all out. They are really using all their means to restrain Shisui.”

One of the clansmen asked Fugaku, “Patriarch… what should we do? If Shisui fights against him, then he might really…”

Fugaku shook his head, “Don’t worry, continue with your work.”

He was taken aback by Fugaku’s calm tone, and thought, ‘Perhaps Patriarch has some plan in his mind.’

He wasn’t mistaken. Fugaku indeed had a plan, and that was to use Shisui to divert the attention of the Hokage Faction and the other nominated candidates.

Originally, Fugaku believed that it would be Tsunade-hime or Jiraiya who would come forward. But even if it’s Kuroto, there is no difference for him. In fact, this is better.

The fact that Kuroto is nominated just shows that his plan has been working well.

‘While everyone’s attention is focused on Shisui, nobody is taking me seriously… I will be able to use this opportunity.’ Thought Fugaku with a smile.

…

Hyuga District

“What?! Kuroto was nominated by the Elder Council as the fourth candidate?!” exclaimed Elder Fukiage in shock. He couldn’t believe what he just heard.

“Yes.” Nodded Hiashi with a tired expression.

“Did you play any part in this?” asked the second elder with a look of disbelief on his face.

Hiashi shook his head, “No, I just received the notice that he is the fourth candidate. I am as surprised as anyone.”

“How is this possible?” – muttered the Elder Sada, and added after a pause, “Why would they nominate him–a member of the branch–if they wanted someone from the Hyuga Clan to be nominated, then you should have been chosen!”

At this time, Elder Fukiage suddenly said with a happy expression, “But this is a very good opportunity for us…!”

Hiashi shook his head, “We should all be clear that they won’t make such a mistake. I believe they are using him as a countermeasure against Uchiha Shisiui. Therefore, his chances are low.”

“I am not talking about him Hiashi… I am talking about you! If… if he can be nominated… why not you nominate yourself Hiashi?” said Elder Fukiage, and added, “He is the countermeasure against Shisui… how sure are you against Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Fugaku?”

After pondering for a while, Hiashi said in a hesitant tone, “I… I am not sure. If I had the power of Tenseigan… then perhaps…”

“Forget it.” Sighed Elder Elder Sada, and added, “Considering our current relationship with them, the Hokage Faction will definitely not support us.”

Elder Fukiage nodded helplessly, “This was such a great opportunity, if only we had more information on the Tenseigan!”
