The scarcity of Jonin is precisely why both factions in the campaign prioritized the favor of the renowned shinobi clans. These clans are considered "great" due to their extensive history, access to abundant resources, and vast knowledge that creates an optimal environnt for training and cultivating Jonin-level ninjas.
These distinguished clans possess a wide range of ninjutsu and secret techniques developed by their ancestors. These techniques have been refined and enhanced over generations, while their battle tactics have been tested and proven on war fronts. Additionally, so clans even possess unique abilities known as Kekkei Genkai.
In comparison, individuals from commoner backgrounds have a relatively low representation among Jonin, and it is rare for them to attain the status of elite Jonin. Of course, figures like Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya are exceptions to this trend, but there is a very good reason they achieved such remarkable strength.
It’s not just their innate talent that enabled them to reach such levels, it’s also because of the proper nurturing they received. However, not every commoner has been fortunate enough to receive the sa opportunities as these few exceptional individuals. Consequently, Jonin of commoner origin often have certain shortcomings or flaws that prevent them from advancing beyond the rank of Special Jonin. In fact, it is accurate to say that the majority of Special Jonin hail from commoner backgrounds. This rank was established to provide commoners with a chance to rise through the ranks.
During the Vote of Confidence, it is relatively easy for any clan, regardless of its size, to present a few Jonin mbers. Among the diverse range of ninjas from various clans, a significant number have retired either due to disabilities or old age. However, despite their retirent, they retain their Jonin status and are fully entitled to participate in the Vote of Confidence.
As the voting continued, a sudden commotion erupted in the square. The cause of the uproar was the sight of a large group of Uchiha clan Jonin walking towards the ballot box at the main entrance of the Hokage Building.
"Oh my god, there are so many Jonin in the Uchiha clan?" exclaid one bewildered observer.
"Are all these Uchihas Jonin? Could it be so kind of mistake?" questioned another in disbelief.
"Don't be foolish! The Sandai-sama is observing from above, and there are ANBU ninjas diligently verifying the tickets next to the ballot box. It's impossible for the Uchiha clan to resort to such low-level tricks!" retorted a villager, dismissing any doubts about the Uchiha clan's integrity.
In the past, the villagers had always heard that the Uchiha clan was the foremost clan in the village, but they had never truly grasped its power. Ordinary villagers lacked an intuitive understanding of the clan's strength. However, witnessing the gathering of Uchiha clan Jonin in such numbers to put their Vote in the Ballot Box, the villagers finally realized that the Uchiha clan was indeed deserving of its status as the most powerful Clan in the village.
…
From the rooftop of a tall building overlooking the square, Sasuke pointed towards the approaching Uchiha Jonin and addressed his friends Naruto, Neji, and others who were with him. He exclaid, "Do you see them? Those are all the Jonin from my clan!"
Naruto let out a sigh and replied, "Sasuke, your clan has so many powerful individuals!"
Neji furrowed his brow slightly, surprised by the sheer number of Uchiha Jonin gathered. It exceeded his expectations.
Unlike the Hyuga Clan, the Uchiha Clan doesn't have a large number of individuals who possess awakened Dojutsu. Only those with exceptional talent are capable of awakening their eyes. This is why almost all Uchiha shinobi who possess Dojutsu are considered elite. As long as they survive and continue to grow, their Sharingan will eventually evolve into the three-Tomoe Sharingan, signifying their strength reaching the level of Jonin and elite Jonin.
Following the decline of the Senju Clan, the Uchiha clan beca the strongest clan in Konoha, both in terms of the quality and quantity of Jonin. This is the very confidence that fuels their rebellious murmurs. If not for this strength, the Uchiha clan mbers would not be constantly discussing rebellion.
In reality, even this exaggerated number of Uchiha Jonin is a result of secret restrictions imposed by the Sandai-sama on the Uchiha Clan. Many Uchihas who are observing from the sidelines already et the necessary requirents for promotion to the ranks of Jonin or Special Jonin. However, due to various reasons, they have been kept at the level of Chunin or elite Chunin.
Observing the staggering number of Uchiha Jonin, Hinata nervously tugged on Neji's sleeve and asked, "Neji-nii-san… will Kuroto-sama…?"
Neji furrowed his brow but reassured Hinata with a smile, saying, "Don't worry, Hinata-sama… Sensei… he will definitely not lose!"
Sasuke pouted at Neji's words and retorted, "Huh, don't be stubborn, Neji! Just wait and watch… The one who will win the Vote of Confidence and beco the Godai Hokage will be my Otou-san…"
…
On the rooftop of the Hokage Building, Uchiha Fugaku observed the Uchiha mbers voting in groups below. A smirk ford on his lips as he cast aggressive glances towards Kuroto, Sandai-sama, and the elders. He then gave orders to those around him, including Mikoto, Itachi, Shisui, and Shinichi, saying, "You all go down and vote as well!" ŕＡ𝐍ó𝐛Ɛ𝙨
Mikoto nodded in agreent, and she and Itachi proceeded to descend first, followed by Shisui and Shinichi. They swiftly made their way towards the ballot box to cast their votes.
Observing four more Uchiha Jonin heading to vote, Tsunade glanced dissatisfiedly at Sandai-sama. She wanted to express her frustration and question why he had promoted so many Uchiha clan mbers to the rank of Jonin.
Sandai let out a sigh and shook his head. He had no other choice in the matter. The Uchiha clan had nurous ninjas who t the requirents for promotion to the rank of Jonin. Although he had implented restrictions, there were limits to how much he could restrain their advancents.
This predicant had begun when Shisui and Shinichi awakened their Mangekyou Sharingan one after another. Subsequently, more individuals within Amatsukami and the Akatsuki Organization appeared with Mangekyou Sharingan. Since then, sothing has changed within the Uchiha Clan. They had all thrown themselves into intense training and diligent work, resulting in a visible increase in their overall strength over the past decade.
If not for the fact that several elite Uchiha mbers had been killed or kidnapped by Amatsukami and Akatsuki, the numbers would be even higher. It was also possible that one or two more awakeners of the Mangekyou Sharingan had erged within their ranks.
Following the Uchiha Clan's display of strength, a large group of Hyuga Clan mbers made their way towards the ballot box, seemingly determined to regain montum. Like the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan also boasted a significant number of Jonin mbers.
However, in contrast to the Uchiha clan, the majority of Hyuga clan mbers present were special Jonin. Among the crowd, there were many elderly individuals with grey hair, so of whom required assistance from attendants to walk. A particularly frail-looking lady, who appeared to be well over a hundred years old, trembled as she moved, relying on the support of two Hyuga clansn to navigate.
Witnessing this scene, Fugaku directed a mocking glance towards Kuroto. However, Kuroto remained unfazed, maintaining a calm expression on his face.
Hiashi, in his efforts to ensure that the Hokage would be chosen from the Hyuga Clan, had gone to great lengths. He even invited retired individuals with limited mobility and physical disabilities to participate in the voting process. These elderly Hyuga clan mbers had gathered here to cast their votes in support of Kuroto.
Observing this display of loyalty, Kuroto couldn't help but smile.
