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?”
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.
