Uchiha family is funny...

The Hokage election, just when everyone thought that Orochimaru would become the fourth Hokage, a horrible piece of news suddenly broke out in the village. Orochimaru's human experimentation was discovered by the third Hokage.

The third Hokage personally attacked Orochimaru but with his cunningness, Orochimaru successfully escaped killing several guards in the process.

Afterward, Jiraiya, who just returned from the mission, pursued Orochimaru alone but he failed in retrieving Orochimaru back to the village.

The sudden change stunned Konoha's ninjas. They never thought that such events will happen at this critical juncture. But some people also sensed something unusual.

After the defection of Orochimaru, Danzo himself stood up and berated the Hokage. He wanted to force the third to make himself the Hokage. In Danzo's own words, No one is more suitable for the position of the Hokage than him.

However, the third is not a fool, he had also realized something was wrong with Orochimaru. Due to this, the third became even more guarded against Danzo. For this reason, he personally took Minato to visit several clans to obtain their approval.

Of course, while this was going on, Yoru was chatting with the current patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku, about the recent turn of events.

Because of Orochimaru's defection, the Uchiha clan seemed to see hope and they also want to try for the position of Hokage. So, Fugaku called Yoru for a discussion.

Yoru's situation in the Uchiha clan is very delicate. Although he seems to be from the Uchiha clan, most of them don't treat him as one. Calling him an outcast. But Yoru never paid heed to these clowns. Due to his situation, Yoru's house is also independent in a remote area.

"Yoru, what do you think about, Minato?" Fugaku put down his teacup and asked calmly.

Beside him stood two Jonin from the Uchiha clan as guards.

Just now, he has finished talking about his thoughts. It's nothing more than the people from the Uchiha clan who want to push him to compete against Minato, for the position of Hokage. In the view of the arrogant Uchiha, a commoner ninja-like Minato who doesn't have a background will easily be crushed by them.

But these people forget that Minato is the disciple of Jiraiya who is a direct disciple of the third, and his wife is a link to the Uzumaki clan.

"If the patriarch asks for my opinion, then let me answer. I will fully support Minato to become the Hokage." Yoru said his answer calmly.

"But now Minato is at a disadvantage. Many clans in the village don't fully support him due to his age and background." Fugaku continued to ask.

"That's why we should support him. People in the world only add icing on the cake but they don't understand that adding icing on a cake is never as good as giving charcoal in the snow." Yoru said with a smile. "The previous Hokage have all been vigilant against Uchiha's. Now, is the perfect time to gain the favor of Minato, the one most likely to be the Hokage. Minato doesn't have a big prejudice against our clan and we can also sell a huge favor to get rid of this vigilance."

In fact, now is the perfect time to show support for Minato. This can also help in showing your attitude towards the Third Hokage showcasing that the Uchiha doesn't want to make trouble now. Not only can Uchiha better integrate themself within the village, but they can also build a good relationship with the third Hokage and the probable fourth Hokage.

But obviously, the Uchiha won't use such a good move here. Their arrogance is their bane, they will never admit themself to be needy. Otherwise, Fugaku will not call himself here.

Yoru had just finished speaking, and the guard on the Fugaku's left, Yashiro Uchiha interrupted and shouted.

"Absurd, we Uchiha were originally one of the founding family of Konoha, why should we humbly send favors and beg them to disarm their vigilance."

"Why? Good question. Why do you think?" Yoru picked up the tea in hand, took a breath, and said unhurriedly.

"Just because he is the Hokage." Tori Uchiha, the guard on the right stared at Yoru viciously.

"It seems you are not an idiot. That's right, just because he is the Hokage." Yoru took a sip of the tea and said with a smile.

The guard in front of him obviously didn't understand what was going on and what was the situation of the Uchiha clan. From this point of view, the Uchiha clan will be wiped out in the future not because they want to rebel, but because of their stupidity.

"Just because he is the Hokage? That's such a joke. The mantle of the Hokage should have originally belonged to the Uchiha. If it wasn't for Madara attacking Konoha at that time." Yashiro said with resentment.

In his opinion, if Madara hadn't attacked Konoha at that time, the people in the village would not have the vigilance against them. The Hokage seat should have also belonged to them. But everything was ruined by Madara.

Weak people usually keep finding faults in other people and never think about what is wrong with them. The current situation of Uchiha reflects this the best. Even with the eyes of insight, Sharingan, they could not see the true reason for their downfall. Truly, the dojutsu was wasted on them.

"Oh! That's it. It seems that I misunderstood the purpose of your visit, patriarch. You are not here today to ask me what I can do next, but to inform me what you will do next. Right?" Yoru put down his teacup slowly, the steam obscuring his dark eyes.

Fugaku was still thinking about what to say. To be honest, he doesn't really want to be Hokage. He even felt that Yoru was better than him in this political matter. But he can't stand the wish of the entire clan. Hence, the current situation.

"Yes, that's right! To tell you the truth, the defection of Orochimaru is a good opportunity for the Uchiha clan. We will do our best to recommend the patriarch to become Hokage. You must also contribute as a member of the Uchiha clan." Yashiro spoke before even their respected patriarch.

At the same time, a thought crossed Yoru's mind.

The Uchiha family is quite funny.
