The Hokage’s Office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mito Kadenen, and Koharu Koharu, the four top leaders of Konoha gathered here to discuss the aftermath of White Fang’s suicide.

“Hiruzen, the impact of this incident is so bad. Ninjas like White Fang have committed suicide. Some people in the village are even talking about whether they can freely abandon their companions for missions in the future. Once such a trend begins, the cohesion of the village will be greatly reduced.”Xiaochun said in a deep voice after turning to bed.

“It’s just that some ninjas want to take this opportunity to cause trouble. They catch a group of typical people and then win over some people, and the matter will be solved.”

Danzo said calmly, not paying attention at all.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed with regret on his face:”This is all my fault! If I could have stood up earlier and calmed the public opinion, maybe Sakumo wouldn’t……”

“I can’t blame you. No one wants to think about what happened to Sakumo. Who knew he would use such an extreme way to apologize. In the final analysis, it was mainly because someone was adding fuel to the fire. The mission Sakumo performed was top secret. Why it was made known to everyone needs to be investigated carefully.”Mito Kadoen advised, as if there was something in his words.

Danzo narrowed his eyes. His original intention was to suppress Sakumo’s reputation, and then allow Orochimaru to become the Hokage more smoothly. position, after all, the kid who awakened Mudun under his command still needs time to grow up.

But who would have thought that Sakumo would commit suicide?

And Hiruzen was worried about this matter. It is also the default.

Otherwise, if Hiruzen had stood up and spoken out from the beginning, public opinion would not have gotten out of control. Now he is pretending to show regret to others.

In the final analysis, he just handed a sword to Hiruzen, and it was Hiruzen who handed the sword to Sakumo

“Indeed! Be sure to investigate carefully!”Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

Danzo glanced at him. It seemed that he had to bear the blame. He said:”One of the members of Sakumo’s team is from the root. Born, he has admitted that he accidentally leaked the secret, and committed suicide last night to apologize”

“What?! Suicide again?!”Mito Kadoyan lost his voice.

The village lost three jounin in a row. White Fang is a shadow-level strength, and Sakamoto Kouta is not weak among the elite jounin. Now another one has died. This What’s the matter!

Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at Danzo:”In this case, this matter ends here. From today on, the village’s system must be strictly enforced, and no more will be allowed. There is random leakage of secrets.”

The matter has come to this, and it is self-defeating. The most important thing at this time is to stabilize the internal situation. Now is not the time to punish Danzo.

At this time, there was a slowdown The sound of footsteps came, the office door was pushed open, and a white-haired old man walked in tremblingly on crutches

“He Mi-sama?! Why are you here?”

The four senior executives were all stunned.

The old man is the elder of the Senju clan, Senju Kazumi.

Or rather , now he should be called Kazuya. After all, as a staunch supporter of the Second Hokage, he gave up the surname Senju.

The four senior executives looked very respectful, and Mitomon Yan returned to Kazuya. The chair came and helped him sit down.

When they were young, they were accepted as disciples by the Second Hokage. Master Kazumi took great care of them.

After going to bed, Koharu was still going to make tea. Kazuya waved his hand and said:”No need to bother, I’ll just say a few words and leave”

“If Mr. Hemi has any requests, just ask us. If we can do it, we will definitely meet it.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen said respectfully.

Kazumi smiled and said:”Monkey, you are still as direct as before, but you are not as decisive and straightforward as before..”

Now in the entire Konoha Village, the one in front of me is probably the only one who can be nicknamed the Third Hokage

“What Mr. Kazumi taught me is that the affairs of the village are heavy and many things need to be handled with caution. I can’t just rush forward in everything like before.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked like he was willing to accept teachings

“Since the affairs of the village are heavy, why don’t you choose the successor of the Fourth Hokage earlier? Even if you are still in your prime, you can let the successor help you share your worries.

Originally, White Fang was the best candidate. Who would have thought that he was so mentally fragile that he committed suicide after a slight setback.

But the Sannin are all excellent. Is there no one you like among them?”

Kazuya tried.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said:”The three ninjas are indeed excellent, but they still need more experience to truly stand alone. I can persist for a few more years and give them young people some time to grow up.”

Kazumi narrowed his eyes and was a little dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi’s behavior of playing Tai Chi with him. He stopped probing and said straight to the point:”What do you think of Tsunade?”

“Tsunade?”Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned and nodded:”Tsunade is indeed very good and deeply loved by people in the village. Even if we exclude her status as the granddaughter of the First Lord, she is also one of the best candidates for the Fourth Hokage.”

“I won’t beat around the bush, I’ll just tell you the truth! If you allow Tsunade to succeed as the Fourth Hokage, I can guarantee you that she will never continue to pursue Tobirama’s policies.” Kazumi said firmly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen:”This……If you want to succeed as Hokage, you need the support of everyone. The approval of the Jonin cannot be decided by just one word from me.”

Kazumi nodded:”This is indeed the case, but once you publicly support Tsunade, most of the jounin who originally supported you will also support Tsunade. By then, Tsunade will be among the jonins. ‘s vote rate will definitely lead, you don’t deny this, right?”

“yes.”Sarutobi Hiruzen responded.

” At the beginning, I had the same idea as Tobirama. I felt that all the ninja clans in Konoha should be disbanded one by one. Everyone should abandon their surnames, eliminate family boundaries, and fully integrate into the Konoha collective. All ninjas would There is only one surname, and that is ‘Konoha’.

But practice has proven that Tobirama and I were wrong.

Continuing to implement this policy will only cause unrest within Konoha.

Just like now, the two families, Uchiha and Hinata, will definitely openly oppose it.

Tsunade is now much more stable than before, and she has a sense of proportion in many things.”

Kazumi said with a serious expression and a very sincere attitude.

After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into silence and felt a little hesitant. This man can represent the opinions of most of the former Senju lineage, and his words are trustworthy Now Hearing Kazuya’s assurance, I felt a little moved. His original intention was to find the handle of the Root through Orochimaru, and then take the opportunity to weaken the power of the Root, but he did not expect that the Root has grown stronger over the years. But in recent years, he discovered that Orochimaru, who was originally sent by him to monitor Danzo at his base, seemed to be colluding with Danzo. Suspicion.

Naturally, he prefers Orochimaru.

“I need time to think about it.”Sarutobi Hiruzen did not give a direct answer.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Kazumi nodded, not in a hurry

“Hiruzen……” Danzo felt bad when he saw the situation. He knew Hiruzen’s character too well. He has become more and more indecisive in recent years. If Tsunade is really as Kazuya said, the position of the Fourth Hokage remains to be determined. It’s debatable.

Bang!

Just when Kazuya stood up and was about to leave, the door to the Hokage’s office was pushed open violently, and Tsunade burst in angrily

“Three generations! what is going on?! Why did Sakumo commit suicide, you guys?……”

Before Tsunade entered the room, excited voices came in first, but when she saw the senior officials gathered in the office, even Elder Kazuya was there, she paused

“Sorry everyone……”Jiraiya followed the room with an awkward look, but didn’t have time to stop Tsunade.

“Tsunade, the thing about White Fang is that his mental endurance is too weak. It’s not the third generation’s fault. You come back with me first.”Kazuya’s face darkened. Just now he praised Tsunade for being steady, but his face was immediately swollen.

Tsunade shouted angrily:”Weak mental endurance?! He is mentally stronger than any of you!

Is the Will of Fire passed down by grandpa just for you to waste like this?

What’s wrong with Sakumo?

A ninja who gives up on his mission is a loser, and a ninja who gives up on his companions is worse than a loser!

Without ninjas, where would Konoha come from?

If Second Grandpa had the same idea as you, would he have stayed behind after mastering the art of Flying Thunder God?!

What a disappointment!”

“Shut up! Kazuya said angrily:”Don’t talk nonsense!””

Tsunade grabbed Kazuya’s collar and said angrily:”Shut up! You old man, don’t rely on me and show off your old age ”

“Tsunade! You have gone too far!”Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice:”Quickly put down Master Kazuya.”

“Tsunade, don’t do this.”Jiraiya quickly advised, and then apologized to several people:”I’m sorry, Sakumo was Tsunade’s friend. He died suddenly, and Tsunade couldn’t accept it for a while…….”

“Hmph!” Tsunade snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Jiraiya smiled awkwardly and chased after him

“Has not become the fourth generation yet, this is the attitude. Danzo said calmly, with a slight snort in his nose.

Kazumi had a dark face and said nothing

“Lord Kazumi, I……”Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to step forward to comfort him

“I will go back first.”Kazumi waved his hand, and then left on crutches. His body was much more rickety than before.

After going to bed, Koharu shook his head slightly:”How can you take on such a big responsibility if you are so impulsive and irritable? “……

“Tsunade, you are too impulsive. How could you say that in front of senior officials?”

On the way back, Jiraiya was worried.

He was not worried about the punishment Tsunade would receive, but what Tsunade said would definitely make her Leave a bad impression to the higher-ups.

Although she doesn’t say it, she loves Konoha more than anyone else.

Tsunade can definitely become a Good Hokage!

In Jiraiya’s heart, she is more suitable to become Hokage than Orochimaru.

Tsunade said coldly:”Jiraiya, You’re not a fool, you can’t figure it out, right?”

“……”Jiraiya fell into silence. He also knew the secrets here. Politics is the thing he hates the most. That’s why he doesn’t want to be Hokage, because once he reaches that position, he will never be insulated from politics.

“Three generations have changed and he is old! He is no longer the third generation before, otherwise he would stand up and speak out for Sakumo immediately”

“……”Jiraiya was silent again, because what Tsunade said was true

“Hasn’t he thought about the impact this incident might have on Sakumo? Now what he is thinking about is how to decentralize power and check and balance. How can he be half as good as Ren Xiong?!” Tsunade looked tired.

Jiraiya advised:”You should be patient for a while and wait until you or Orochimaru succeeds to the fourth generation, and then……”

“Is this the first day you met me?”Tsunade interrupted Jiraiya:”Konoha now is so disappointing!”

After saying that, Tsunade flashed and disappeared in front of Jiraiya.
