Looking at the familiar Konoha gate that was still under repair, Tsunade felt a little melancholy. She hesitated for a long time without stepping in. She thought she would never come back here again, but she didn't expect...

The fate of that small fishing village on the border of Yuno Country will sooner or later spread throughout the world - the day when he gets tired of playing in this world.

That's what he said, he will definitely do it and he can definitely do it! Tsunade has this kind of intuition, a strange intuition of believing that the other party can do it.

Suddenly, Tsunade lowered her head and sneered. If that was the case, why would she come back? If the end of humankind was destined to be destroyed, why would she come back?

"hateful…!"

Tsunade cursed in a low voice, and then tightly grasped the necklace on her chest.

There must be something going on!

It must be something (belief) hidden in your subconscious that you abandoned before!

grandfather……

Rope tree…

Break...

What should I do...

Just when Tsunade couldn't bear it anymore and was struggling, the sound of not-so-fast footsteps and a man's breathing suddenly came from behind her.

thump…

When Tsunade turned around, she saw a dusty middle-aged man of medium stature lying on the ground with a letter in his hand. The man's weak state at this time was also caused by being on the road for a long time.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Entrusted...entrusted..."

The man used his last bit of strength to lift the letter in his hand, and then rolled his eyes and made no sound.

"Hey! Cheer up!"

Sensing that something was not right, Tsunade hurried forward and knelt down to check the man's condition, but... it was too late!

With the foot power of an ordinary person, he has chased a man who has traveled countless miles. Judging from his face, he has neither eaten nor drank a sip of water for at least a week!

"Really, it's like forcing me to go see that old man."

Tsunade couldn't bear it, so she finally accepted the letter of entrustment that the man was supposed to give to Konoha. However, she did not open it to see the specific mission entrustment. She just took out the ten thousand taels of mission reward inside.

…

Nearly two months have passed since the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Because the Nine-Tails Rebellion triggered a large number of incidents that needed to be dealt with in a timely manner, the senior management also defaulted to letting Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was most familiar with Konoha affairs, temporarily handle it during this period of time in order to keep Konoha alive.

Go through this most difficult period!

At present, although the influence of the Nine-Tails Rebellion on the village is still there, the situation has become much more stable. Therefore, regarding the issue of the next Hokage, the four top leaders of Konoha also summoned all the Jonin and held a meeting.

The theme of the meeting was about the selection and election of the next Hokage, as well as voting and appointment.

The Jounin of Konoha who had been summoned below were chattering among themselves, but no one raised their hands first to put forward their own suggestions, especially the Jounin of the Uchiha clan.

Under the leadership of the current clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, all of them looked cold and clasped their hands, saying nothing, as steady as old dogs. After all, this kind of thing basically had nothing to do with them, they were just here to show their attitude and get a few heads.

Standing on the high platform were three Hokage advisors, including Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Danzo, the Root of Konoha.

Although Danzo's face was expressionless, he was strategizing in his heart. His arrangements were meticulous and without any omissions, and there were quite a few Jonin who he had colluded with!

After a while, as long as you recommend yourself, with the approval of the jonins you arranged, the other jonins will definitely respond one after another!

With my qualifications, apart from Hiruzen and Jiraiya and Tsunade who are not in the village, who else can I take the title of next village chief? I will definitely win!

The village chief takes turns, come to my house today!

As he was thinking about it, the corners of Danzo's mouth slightly raised unconsciously, but when he noticed that he had accidentally exposed his inner secret of joy, Danzo quickly showed a serious face again.

However, such a small and momentary change in expression was noticed by Sarutobi Hiruzen who was standing aside. He knew exactly what his old friend wanted to do all day long.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also a little helpless. Being urged by Danzo today to make this meeting really feel like forcing him into the palace.

Who should I choose? Who can I choose in this situation? In this case, only the Konoha ninja whose reputation is comparable to Danzo at this time can do it! There are excellent ninjas in the same period of the fourth generation and the next period of the fourth generation, but they are too young.

, the reputation is not enough.

However, apart from the three advisors including himself, there is only one Orochimaru who can rival Danzo in reputation in the village.

Orochimaru Orochimaru, the village chief assigned him.

After thinking about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who felt that he would have to retire a few years later if it was not possible, also made up his mind. His old bones can still shine for Konoha, and he must not let Danzo and Danzo

The person who arranged it goes up!

After turning to bed, Koharu took the lead and spoke downwards: "Ahem, please be quiet. The selection of the successor to the Fifth Hokage will now begin. Please speak freely."

An Uchiha jounin standing behind Fugaku also wanted to raise his hand to recommend his clan leader at the first moment, but then he was stopped by a look from his clan leader.

The Nine-Tails Rebellion has just ended, and the higher-ups are still doubting us and you still want to recommend me? Why the hell did you get kicked in the head?

All the jounin of the Uchiha clan remained silent, no one spoke, and the other jounin also lost their voices at this time. Look at me and I look at you. Who can you recommend at this time?

And generally speaking, at this time, the upper management has already selected a few candidates, and then just waits for the Jonin to vote. Today there is an extra scene

Looking at the silent Jonin below, Danzo also knew that this meeting had reached the second stage, so he took a half-step towards the railing and cleared his throat before preparing to speak.

However, what Danzo didn't expect was that the old guy from the third generation actually took a whole step forward at the same time, seemingly wanting to speak first!

Damn it! Danzo cursed bitterly in his heart, but he didn't panic too much. As long as Hiruzen said that his old brother Fuzhen was at war again, he would refute the opponent by saying that the other party once gave up the position of Hokage and was not qualified to be the Hokage!

"We have no choice but to do so. These are extraordinary times, so..."

As he said that, out of the corner of his eye, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly spotted the overly familiar and nostalgic figure with only a quarter of his back exposed at the entrance to a side corridor!

"...The Fifth Hokage, I recommend one of the Sannin of Konoha"

Hearing this, Danzo breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that the other party wanted Laoji Futing, but he didn't expect that he would recommend Orochimaru. In this way, it would be no different from becoming Hokage himself!

"Tsunade-hime of..."

Hearing this, everyone present was a little confused, not only the jounin below who had not received any news of Tsunade's return to the village, but also Danzo and the other two advisors in the stands.

When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoren looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in disbelief.

This was not how we arranged it when we just had a small meeting behind Danzo's back!

Tsunade, who originally just wanted to entrust the task to the third generation and leave, frowned when she heard this and stood up proactively.

I happened to come across a conference, and then I happened to be discovered and called out. I was really drunk.

Tsunade was about to speak but Koharu, who had already come to her senses, stepped in first.

"Next, please ask the Jonin to vote by a show of hands."

"Stop talking to yourself!"

Tsunade said unhappily, each of these old guys is more sophisticated than the last, it is obvious that they want to deny themselves the opportunity to forcefully take the position of Hokage on their head!

"I'm just here..."

Before Tsunade finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who knew that Tsunade had to do some ideological work after returning, interrupted Tsunade at the right time and smiled at the jounin below who were looking at Tsunade.

typical.

"In short, today's election of the Fifth Hokage has come to an end for the time being. The official election of the Fifth Hokage will be held in three days. What do you think of Danzo?"

Looking at the old man who finally turned away to ask for his opinion, Danzo also had many MMPs at the moment and only dared to say in his heart, how careless he is!

"Hmm..." Danzo, helpless in his heart, could only nod calmly.

Looking at the old men and women who had their own thoughts, Tsunade also felt disgust and contempt from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't say anything.

Although it was an accident, I couldn't refute the reputation of these people in front of all the jounin, so I just talked about it and shied away from it.

After all the Jonin left one after another, Tsunade announced her intention to come. She held the envelope between her two fingers and was about to speak when she realized that the power of attorney in the envelope had slipped to the ground.

"I'm not coming back because of boring things like that, I'm just picking up someone, and by the way..."

Before Tsunade, who bent down to pick up the power of attorney, could finish her words, a few words of the power of attorney that accidentally passed by from the corner of her eye made her stop talking and her eyes widened involuntarily!

"What's wrong? Tsunade?"
