Chapter 153: Coming to power now is to help the third generation take the blame
Inside the Hokage's office.
"Huruzen! Konoha has achieved the peace we have today after years of hard work. How dare Tsunade! Once Tsunade takes this position, new conflicts between the major families and civilian ninjas will inevitably arise, and Konoha will be unstable..."
It was the first time that Utane Koharu lost her composure in front of everyone. It was because Tsunade's inheritance of the title of Senju was too much of a shock.
"Well, look at you now, you don't even look like a Hokage advisor!"
After seeing Utatane Koharu lose her composure like that, Sarutobi Hiruzen rarely spoke in a deep and cold voice.
This cold shout instantly woke up Utane Koharu. After looking at the three people's eyes, he took a deep breath.
"It seems like these wealthy families will not give up. Just after the White Fang left, here comes the even more terrifying Senju Tsunade, Hiruzen! They are going to bring turmoil to the village!"
Utatane Koharu's words are not alarmist. Konoha's development so far can be said to be at its peak.
The number of active ninjas in Konoha alone exceeds 20,000, and its military strength is the best in the ninja world. This was not the case in the later period when its military strength was surpassed by the Cloud Ninja and the Rock Ninja.
"Huruzen, although Koharu lost his composure a bit, what he said is not wrong. It has not been easy for Konoha to develop to this day with our joint efforts over the years. The situation in the ninja world is turbulent right now. Once the Hokage changes, the village will be in turmoil instead."
Mizuto Menyan pondered for a moment. Although he had selfish motives, he was also moving it out for the greater good.
Now is the highlight moment of Konoha. In addition to the two Kage-level warriors, the Third Hokage and Danzo, there are four more Kage-level warriors, White Fang, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, in the village, not to mention the Jinchūriki, plus the elites of the major families.
With six Hokage-level fighters and more than 20,000 to nearly 30,000 ninjas, this is also the source of their pride.
Unfortunately, after White Fang's rise to prominence, Konoha began to go downhill, and the tragic victories in the three wars made it fall directly from the altar.
"Hiruzen!"
If Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu are reluctant to give up the power in their hands and are waving the banner of justice, then Shimura Danzo will definitely not allow the Senju to make a comeback. At Tsunade's age, she can outlast him!
Shimura Danzo had a sinister look on his face and said in a deep voice:
"Tsunade is entangled with that Uchiha brat. I'm afraid she has been bewitched by the Uchiha. Although the Senju is now withered, the Uchiha, Hyuga, Aburame and other major families behind her are not easy to deal with."
Looking at the statements of his three old friends, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, felt powerless for the first time and couldn't help but let out a hoarse sigh.
"Yes, what you said makes sense, but Tsunade's identity is different!"
This is the most troublesome problem. Tsunade’s identity was already big enough before, and now she has inherited the Senju surname.
The name Tsunade Senju is enough to unite all the major families in Konoha Village. After all, they know what they have done over the years.
To win over, divide, alienate and harm the interests of the major families...to balance the village.
"Don't I know!?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep puff of his pipe, exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and shook his head.
"For the sake of the development of the village over the years, we have indeed done many things that are unfriendly to the major families, but the ninja village has developed to this day, and there is no ninja village in the world that is not like this.
Weaken the interests of the big families and give civilian ninjas more living space. Even if we develop our own family, it is just to deal with the impact of the big families..."
It's not just Konoha, it's almost the same in the entire ninja world.
During the Warring States Period, the strongest families were the bloodline families, followed by the various mystical families.
But after the formation of the ninja village model, the once powerful bloodline families have become an obstacle, and the major ninja villages instinctively began to weaken the influence of these big families.
At the beginning of the story, there was only one Hyuga left in Konoha's bloodline family, not to mention the Mist Ninjas. All those who could be killed were killed, and the other ninja villages were not necessarily in a better condition.
"Hiruzen, do you want to watch the village fall into turmoil?!"
Shimura Danzo couldn't help but say angrily, he still wants to be Hokage! Once he falls into Tsunade's hands, he has no confidence that he can survive the young Kage.
What’s more important is the roots!
With what he has done over the years, if Tsunade becomes Hokage, will she allow the Root to exist?
More importantly, he also wanted to study Wood Release and Sharingan. The Uchiha, whom he hated the most, has now joined forces with the Senju.
"Think about what we've done to these big families over the years, especially since Tsunade is the evil Uchiha behind the scenes!"
Shimura Danzo's sinister voice sounded, instantly making Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu shudder, and a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.
Other things are easy to deal with, but if they want to bring up the past for what they did to the Senju and Uchiha over the years, it won't be a simple loss of power.
"Hiruzen!"
The three of them looked over at the same time, but the great ninja Sarutobi Hiruzen looked indifferent under the astonished gazes of the three.
"Look at how impetuous you are when faced with a major event. If other ninja villages knew about this, they would laugh at Konoha."
As the indifferent laughter echoed, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and placed the Hokage hat on his head in front of the table. At this moment, he showed a heroic expression.
"It's not easy to be the Hokage. If you don't handle the relationship between the major families and the village well, no matter who this person is, I will never allow the new Hokage to bring turmoil to the village!"
When saying the last sentence, Sarutobi Hiruzen revealed his aura as a great ninja with absolute certainty.
He is the ninja hero of Konoha! The current Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is at his peak! Similarly, Konoha is at its peak under his leadership, even though they just lost a White Fang.
With endless ambition in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen still wanted to turn the tide and lead Konoha through this disaster again.
No one is a fool. Given the current situation in the ninja world, a war is bound to break out sooner or later. How could he allow himself to give up at this time?
"Contact the leaders of the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka clans, as well as... these small clans."
Beneath Sarutobi Hiruzen's domineering smile, there was a sense of calmness. Even if the Senju returned, he wanted to tell Konoha that the current Hokage was still him, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's momentum, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En seemed to have found their backbone and couldn't help but smile and nod.
"Hiruzen, we feel relieved with you here."
"That's right. We old guys have worked hard for Konoha for more than 20 years to get to the peak of what it is today. Now you want to take advantage of us? Dream on!"
Seeing the two's determined looks, even the usually serious Shimura Danzo showed a look of firm support and nodded, saying in a deep voice:
"The ninja world is in turmoil right now. If we hand the village over to the impulsive Tsunade, I don't know what will happen."
At this moment, the four of them seemed to have returned to the time when they worked together for Konoha. Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes showed a look of nostalgia, and he nodded firmly:
"Haha, we old guys can still work for another 20 years, so that these young people can see how we lead Konoha to rise from the ashes again."
Under Sarutobi Hiruzen's determined gaze, he would not allow himself to retire at his peak. He wanted to hand over a peaceful and strong village to future generations.
At the peak of his career, his mentality was not comparable to what it was later.
Today's Sarutobi Hiruzen still has great ambitions, instead of being an old, increasingly paranoid dictator who is unable to accept the will of others.
……
Tsunade's inheritance of the name Senju allowed Konoha to hear the voice of the Senju clan, which had been silent for a long time.
Thousand Hands Clan.
"What!? What do you mean, kid?" Tsunade in the hall looked at Uchiha Ye who came to persuade her with shock and confusion. She had thought of a lot of things, but she never thought that Uchiha Ye would come to persuade her!
"Kid, are you confused? Don't you know how much help it will be to you Uchiha! Even to you if I become the Fourth Hokage?"
Tsunade's straightforward personality makes her never want to hide anything from people she trusts, and she always speaks very realistically.
However, Uchiha Ye, who was sitting in front of him, nodded solemnly.
"I know that if Sister Tsunade takes the throne at this time, it will be a huge benefit to the Uchiha clan and me personally! But what about you, Sister Tsunade!?"
Uchiha Ye's words of consideration for her made Tsunade stunned, and then her heart warmed up, she smiled and teased:
"What's up, kid? Do you really want to marry my sister? Don't forget your current and future identities as my sister!"
Tsunade had a teasing smile on her face, and there was a hint of complexity in her eyes. After she inherited the Senju family name, she had no choice but to marry into the family, but this kid was not impossible.
Perhaps in the future, I can use Naruto to tempt them. I believe the Uchiha clan will not be able to resist this temptation.
However, seeing that Tsunade seemed to have the wrong idea, Uchiha Ye was speechless and could not help but stare.
"Sister Tsunade, what are you thinking about? I'm talking about serious matters now! Do you know what the village is like now?"
Looking at Tsunade, Uchiha Ye took a deep breath and said seriously:
"It is undeniable that the Third Hokage and his men have made contributions over the years. Of course, Sister Tsunade, please don't say that the peace of the past twenty years was brought about by our sacrifices in the First World War."
"The village has developed to this point, whether in terms of population, economy or military strength, it can be called the strongest in the ninja world. At this time, Sister Tsunade, if you use the righteousness of the Senju to suppress us, regardless of whether you can become Hokage or not, will the people in the village be convinced?"
Uchiha Ye was very calm. Not to mention that Konoha was founded by Senju and Uchiha, who in the entire Konoha still remembers this incident?
There aren’t many people of the older generation left!
"Now, all the young ninjas in Konoha only remember that it was the Third Hokage who led Konoha to the peak!"
Uchiha Ye calmly analyzed the situation to Tsunade as a bystander, but Tsunade laughed at herself after hearing it, playing with the empty wine glass in her hand and mockingly said:
"Yes, this is not more than 20 years ago. Konoha has forgotten the former Senju."
Not to mention the Senju, before the story begins, the entire Konoha had even forgotten the Three Ninjas, and only the Jonin still kept the legend of the Three Ninjas.
Nima! Although the life span of the ninja world is short, it is obviously a bit outrageous.
"If you, Sister Tsunade, show your intention to compete for the position of the Fourth Hokage at this time, what will others say? How will the major ninja villages in the ninja world view it? Will they let go of this opportunity?
And there is another very realistic thing, which is the conflict between the rich and the common people that has emerged in the village now! "
Uchiha Ye laid out the current situation of Konoha without any concealment.
It's fine for Tsunade to inherit the title of Senju, but once she officially announces her bid to compete for the title of the Fourth Hokage, the meaning will be different.
During this period, the Third Hokage had the highest support rate and his prestige was at its highest.
Once the competition for Hokage begins, countless civilian ninjas in the village will criticize it, the conflict between the wealthy and civilian ninjas will intensify, and the major ninja villages outside will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
More importantly, he was well aware of the severity of the Third Ninja World War, and Konoha was almost facing the siege of the four major ninja villages again.
At this time, he came to the stage to help the Third Generation to resist the thunder? After a brutal three-war, Tsunade resigned? The Third Generation was restored to the throne?
This is not helping himself, but instead dragging the Senju and Uchiha into the quagmire.
This is not something that can be solved by having a pair of kaleidoscopes on their side. Unless he can drive a Gundam wave at will, it is not impossible to rush in.
"Tsk, I thought you were going to say something."
Tsunade snorted disdainfully, squinting at the figure in front of her, her fingers playing with the red wine glass while she couldn't suppress the upward curve of her mouth, her heart was filled with smiles.
In this kid's mind, she is ranked ahead of the family.
"Sister Tsunade, you can't be impulsive. The situation in the ninja world is tense right now. Once a conflict breaks out in the village, it will give the enemy ninja an opportunity!"
Uchiha Ye said this solemnly, and there was not a single lie in his words.
Konoha is now at its peak of development, and is the best in the ninja world in terms of economy, population, and military strength.
It also means that the interests have already been divided up and there are no vacancies. Now that you, Tsunade, are in power, anyone you touch will be met with backlash.
On the contrary, the three wars have caused serious damage to all the major ninja villages in the ninja world. From an objective point of view, Konoha will suffer heavy losses and will also lose a lot of benefits.
This is the best time to go on stage.
Just like the three generations in the past, after they came to power, there was a lot of work to be done and the major families were badly hurt. They only needed to develop the economy steadily to gain unprecedented support.
"I get it, you nagging little brat."
Tsunade snorted and stretched out her hand to pour herself another glass of wine, but Uchiha Ye frowned and picked up the bottle first.
"Sister Tsunade, this is the last cup."
Looking at the charming red wine in the goblet, Tsunade smiled, and Uchiha Ye nodded secretly after seeing this scene.
As he thought, although Tsunade had ambitions, she also loved Konoha deeply. How could she sit idly by and watch the village in turmoil?
Now is not the best time to be Hokage, even Tsunade can see that.
And he doesn't even need to take action. Even though his previous remarks were made in favor of the Third Generation, as long as the Sand Ninjas start a war, the spearhead will be directed at the Third Generation.
Tsk tsk, by that time, even if the mud falls into your crotch, no one will believe it's not shit.
Moreover, the severity of the Third World War is so great that if this third generation flew too high in the sky, he would be miserable when he fell.
"Also, I'm leaving now."
"Tsk, how are you going to tell your family when you get back?"
Looking at Uchiha Ye who was about to get up and leave, Tsunade showed a curious look while shaking the wine glass in her hand.
However, Uchiha Ye, who stood up and walked out the door, did not even turn his head, but waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Isn't this what you want to see, Sister Tsunade? If I fail to complete the task of persuading you, I will not be able to compete for the position of clan leader, and I will end up coming to you, Sister Tsunade, to be your gigolo."
Uchiha Ye's light-hearted self-mockery made Tsunade behind him giggle while holding a glass of red wine.
"Okay, then this Hokage will wait for you, a little puppy, to come and eat my free rice. My sister's free rice is reserved for you."
In the end, Tsunade was in a good mood and teased Uchiha Ye at his leaving figure, and finally made a slurping sound.
Uchiha Ye, who walked to the door, was speechless for a moment because of the teasing. Then a cunning look appeared in his eyes.
A crisp sound echoed in the room. Tsunade was stunned at first, then she stroked her wet lips, and finally pretended to be angry and shouted at the disappearing figure:
"Sister will support you then."
It turned out that before Uchiha Ye left, he suddenly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear in front of her in an instant, gave her a fierce kiss, and then disappeared in an instant.
This made Tsunade, who was sitting in the room, stroke her lips, and couldn't help but smile and giggle.
"Grandma, everyone is gone, you don't have to worry about it."
As Uchiha Ye's figure left, Tsunade took a sip of the red wine in the glass and said helplessly to the person behind the door.
