Chapter 382 The Sixth Hokage, Tsunade

Konoha, Tsunade has returned with Shizune.

Actually, Tsunade was reluctant to come back, but she had no choice but to.

Inside the Hokage Building, a meeting of Jonin was being held.

While there isn't an F4, there are still quite a few high-ranking members, such as the leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

Representatives from the Hyuga and Uchiha clans also participated.

However, it is clear that the Uchiha's status is not as high as the Hyuga's. It is undeniable that the Uchiha's current strength is much stronger than the Hyuga's, after all, Fugaku, Itachi and Sasuke all possess the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, the Uchiha clan had a deep rift with the village, while the Hyuga clan had little to no rift with the village.

Therefore, although both were powerful clans in Konoha, the Hyuga clan was in a much better position in the village than the Uchiha clan.

When Tsunade arrived at the Hokage Building, the Jonin meeting was still in progress.

Oh, and the hermit Fukasaku from Mount Myōboku is also there.

"Fukasaku, did Jiraiya really... get killed by Orochimaru?" Tsunade asked as soon as she saw Fukasaku.

Tsunade was traveling when she suddenly received news that Jiraiya had been killed by Orochimaru, so she rushed back to Konoha immediately.

Jiraiya was not only a Kage-level shinobi, but also the Fifth Hokage of the village.

The loss of a Hokage has a significant impact on Konoha.

On one hand, Tsunade was worried about Konoha. Konoha was founded by her grandfather and held the dreams of many people. She didn't want to see Konoha decline or even be destroyed. On the other hand, if Jiraiya died, it would also be a blow to her.

After all, Jiraiya and she were good friends.

"Little Jiraiya was also killed by Orochimaru. Orochimaru took one of Madara's Rinnegan eyes, and his strength far surpasses what it used to be." Fukasaku sighed.

Although Fukasaku is called a sage and has cultivated for hundreds of years, he was still no match for Orochimaru even without the Rinnegan. Now that Orochimaru has the Rinnegan, Fukasaku is even less likely to win.

"That bastard Orochimaru!" Tsunade said angrily.

Orochimaru was also Tsunade's partner in the past.

She, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru were known as the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. However, under the rule of the F4, Konoha was shrouded in darkness, and Tsunade became disillusioned with the village, so she went off to wander outside.

Jiraiya and Tsunade were similar, but Jiraiya was also able to gather intelligence for the village while he was away, and he also searched for the Chosen One.

As for Orochimaru, he once thought of changing Konoha in his own way, so he wanted to become the Fourth Hokage. However, Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage instead, which greatly disappointed Orochimaru.

After the Nine-Tails' rampage, Orochimaru's forbidden experiments were discovered, so he chose to defect.

Tsunade was also very surprised that Orochimaru was able to successfully steal one of Madara's Rinnegan eyes.

Tsunade already knows that her grandfather has been resurrected, but he was defeated by Madara.

Madara's strength should far exceed Orochimaru's.

So, given that his strength is far inferior to Madara's, the fact that Orochimaru was able to steal one of Madara's Rinnegan is truly remarkable; at least Tsunade couldn't do it.

After transplanting a Rinnegan, Orochimaru's strength naturally increased significantly, which is quite normal.

Jiraiya also had Sage Mode. If Orochimaru didn't have the Rinnegan, Tsunade didn't think Orochimaru was capable of killing Jiraiya. But since Orochimaru had the Rinnegan, even just one, he had the potential to kill Jiraiya.

Furthermore, Fukasaku is a hermit from Mount Myōboku, so he wouldn't make things up.

Therefore, Jiraiya was probably really dead.

Thinking about Jiraiya's death, Tsunade felt very bad, and she really wanted to go to an izakaya and get drunk.

However, all the Konoha high-ranking officials present turned their attention to Tsunade.

Tsunade had a bad feeling.

"Lady Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage has sacrificed himself, and the village needs to elect a Sixth Hokage as soon as possible. Now that you've returned, I think no one is more suitable than you," a high-ranking official said.

Tsunade is worthy of the title of Hokage, both in terms of strength and reputation.

For Konoha right now, it is indeed necessary to elect a Hokage as soon as possible.

Tsunade was completely distraught upon hearing that she was to become Hokage.

However, Tsunade did not simply leave.

Tsunade was well aware that the village needed her now, and that her becoming Hokage would be a good thing for the village.

Therefore, for the sake of the village, she should become Hokage.

Now is not the time for her to be willful.

Therefore, although Tsunade looked very unwell, she did not leave.

After one high-ranking official suggested making Tsunade Hokage, another high-ranking official spoke up.

Before long, many of the high-ranking officials present spoke up, all supporting Tsunade to become Hokage.

"Lady Tsunade, the village needs you now. The position of Sixth Hokage is rightfully yours. This is all for the sake of the village. You don't want the village to decline, do you?" a high-ranking official said to Tsunade.

Then, more high-ranking officials advised Tsunade.

Tsunade sighed helplessly.

Actually, Tsunade had already thought of this when she returned to Konoha.

Jiraiya has sacrificed himself, and Konoha has lost its Hokage again. Last time it was Minato, and this time it's Jiraiya.

For Konoha, it's impossible to be without a Hokage, so they definitely need to choose one.

When Tsunade thought of Nawaki, Dan, and Jiraiya, all of whom fought and sacrificed for the village, she couldn't bear to watch Konoha fall.

Therefore, Tsunade agreed to become the Sixth Hokage.

Not long after, a high-ranking official brought over the Hokage hat, which Tsunade took and put on her head.

If Konoha is to change its Kage, it's impossible to avoid the Daimyo.

However, if the Daimyo of the Land of Fire knew that Tsunade would be the Hokage, he would definitely give her his full support.

The title of Princess of the Land of Fire was bestowed upon Tsunade by the Daimyo.

With Tsunade becoming Hokage, the relationship between Konoha and the Daimyo grew closer.

The Daimyo will definitely provide greater support to Konoha.

After becoming the Sixth Hokage, Tsunade also needed to take some time to 'report' to the Daimyo.

However, Tsunade needs to promote several high-ranking officials to be advisors.

And to stabilize the morale of the villagers.

……

Mount Myōboku, the hermit Fukasaku has also returned from Konoha.

Back at Mount Myōboku, Fukasaku was dumbfounded.

However, it was because Fukasaku saw Jiraiya, not Jiraiya's corpse, but Jiraiya alive.

"Jiraiya, you're not dead?" Fukasaku was stunned.

You know, Fukasaku went to Konoha and said that Jiraiya had been killed by Orochimaru, but Jiraiya is still alive. What's going on?
"Can't you wish me well for even a little bit?" Jiraiya rolled his eyes.

Jiraiya also thought he would be killed by Orochimaru, but Orochimaru showed mercy. Orochimaru killed the F4 very quickly, but he hesitated when it came to killing Jiraiya.

Orochimaru had the opportunity to kill Jiraiya, but he didn't.

It can only be said that Orochimaru still harbors feelings for Jiraiya.

On one hand, it was their past friendship; on the other hand, it was Orochimaru's approval of Jiraiya's character.

If Jiraiya were to die, it would certainly be a great loss to Konoha.

Orochimaru also wanted Konoha to be better.

Therefore, after severely injuring Jiraiya, Orochimaru did not kill him.

Jiraiya used his reverse summoning technique to travel to Mount Myōboku to recuperate. When Jiraiya arrived at Mount Myōboku, Fukasaku had already gone to Konoha. From Shima the Hermit, Jiraiya also learned that Fukasaku had gone to Konoha.

Jiraiya could understand why Fukasaku thought he was dead, since even Jiraiya himself thought Fukasaku was doomed, but he didn't expect Orochimaru to show mercy.

It was precisely because Orochimaru showed mercy to Jiraiya that Jiraiya felt very conflicted.

Seeing that Fukasaku had returned to Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya inquired about the situation in Konoha.

After all, Jiraiya was the Hokage, and Konoha all thought he was dead, so there was bound to be trouble!

Knowing that trouble had broken out in Konoha, Jiraiya, still heavily injured, became anxious and wanted to get back to the village as soon as possible.

“I thought you were dead, so I sent the news of your ‘death’ to Konoha. In Konoha… Tsunade became the Sixth Hokage.” Fukasaku looked guilty, feeling sorry for Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was stunned after hearing what Fukasaku said.

Jiraiya was certain he hadn't misheard, so Tsunade became Hokage?

It's important to know that Jiraiya never wanted to be Hokage, but Konoha needed him, and for the sake of the village, he became Hokage.

In the past, Jiraiya felt that Tsunade was more suitable to be Hokage than him, but Tsunade was unwilling to become Hokage, so Jiraiya had no choice but to accept the position.

Tsunade, believing Jiraiya to be dead, became the Sixth Hokage, which was good news for Jiraiya.

For a moment, Jiraiya almost burst out laughing.

Shen Zuo looked at Jiraiya with a puzzled expression, while Jiraiya seemed quite pleased.

Master Shima, however, saw through Jiraiya's thoughts.

……

Having let Jiraiya go, Orochimaru moved to another hiding place.

However, Orochimaru did not forget to gather intelligence.

Orochimaru had been collecting information, especially about the five great ninja villages.

As Orochimaru gathered intelligence, he learned that Tsunade had become the Sixth Hokage, and that the people of Konoha still believed that Orochimaru had killed Jiraiya.

This surprised Orochimaru.

He clearly spared Jiraiya. Could it be that Jiraiya was too badly injured and died? Or was Jiraiya killed while he was still low on health?
It's also possible that Jiraiya went into hiding.

Given Jiraiya's personality, if he were still alive, he would probably be very happy to know that Tsunade became Hokage!

Orochimaru sneered.

Too lazy to care about Tsunade and Jiraiya, Orochimaru was thinking about how to increase his strength.

Further development of the Rinnegan is needed.

In addition, Orochimaru also wanted to try training in Sage Mode.

The Sage Mode training in Ryuchi Cave is difficult. Orochimaru tried it before but failed to master it, but things are different now.

Orochimaru's confidence stemmed from the fact that he had a Rinnegan transplanted into his body.

With that confidence, Orochimaru decided to try out the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave again.

During his battle with Jiraiya, Orochimaru also experienced the power of Sage Mode.

Although the Sage Mode in Ryuchi Cave is different from that in Mt. Myoboku, it is still a Sage Mode.

The immortal modes of the three holy lands are different, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Orochimaru had quite a bit of knowledge about the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave.

To learn the Sage Mode of Ryūchi-dō, one must go to Ryūchi-dō.

After learning from Jiraiya that Madara had been sealed away by the White Snake Sage, Orochimaru was no longer afraid.

Once Orochimaru learns the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave, his strength will increase significantly. Although he will still be no match for Madara, the gap will narrow.

……

Kakashi, along with Naruto, Sasuke, and... Sakura, left the village.

Naruto and Sasuke haven't graduated yet, but Team 7 has been formed for the time being.

Sakura was very excited, while Sasuke and Naruto couldn't stand each other.

Tsunade instructed Kakashi to find Jiraiya's body.

Knowing that Jiraiya has sacrificed himself, we should at least find him and give him a proper funeral.

In addition, it also gives Naruto and Sasuke the opportunity to deepen their bond.

Since the light screen says that Naruto and Sasuke are the twins of fate, Tsunade is willing to believe it.

Among the five great ninja villages, Konoha is probably not the strongest now, and the title of strongest ninja village is somewhat undeserved. However, Naruto and Sasuke both have great potential. If Naruto and Sasuke grow up, either of them could make Konoha the strongest ninja village!

In addition, Hashirama is also in Konoha.

Although Hashirama's power was taken by Madara, Hashirama began to train again, and although it was only a short time, he had some time.

It can be said that after resuming his training, Hashirama's strength grew at an astonishing rate.

Give Hashirama a year or two, and he might even surpass Tsunade.

It must be said that the God of Ninjas truly deserves the title.

Hashirama had no objection to Tsunade becoming Hokage. In fact, some people suggested that Hashirama should become Hokage, with the First Hokage taking the helm, which would surely have generated tremendous support from the villagers! But Hashirama himself was unwilling.

Hashirama made up an excuse that he needed to train hard to regain his strength.

In reality, Hashirama did train, but it wasn't exactly a case of hard work.

Hashirama only focused some of his energy on training, and also on things like gambling.

Judging from Hashirama's appearance, he's completely enjoying life.

That evening, Tsunade returned home carrying a thick stack of documents. Hashirama was still awake when Tsunade placed the stack of documents directly in front of him.

A lot has happened in the village recently, so the Hokage has a lot of documents to deal with.

Tsunade, who had just become Hokage, couldn't take it anymore.

Currently, there are still many official matters that haven't been dealt with, so Tsunade takes them home and asks Hashirama to help her handle them.

"Tsunade, now that you've become Hokage, you must handle your duties well and not let everyone down," Hashirama said to Tsunade with a smile.

As for the documents Tsunade brought home, Hashirama didn't help her with anything.

Just kidding, when Hashirama was Hokage, he delegated all his official duties to Tobirama.

Of course, that doesn't mean Hashirama had absolutely nothing to do.

As for now, Tsunade's hope that Hashirama will help her share the burden is simply wishful thinking.

Actually, some high-ranking officials helped Tsunade with her workload, and Shizune could also help her, but Tsunade just wanted to be lazy.

Now that Hashirama is unwilling to help, Tsunade has no way to slack off.

Or, to put it another way, the documents that I didn't process during the day because I was lazy will have to be processed overnight.

However, Tsunade's temper tantrums were useless.

In the end, Tsunade took care of it herself.

To improve efficiency, Tsunade also used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

In an instant, dozens of Tsunade's shadow clones appeared.

With the help of shadow clones, Tsunade's efficiency in processing documents increased, but after dispelling the shadow clones, Tsunade felt much more tired.

After all, if a shadow clone gets tired, the fatigue will be transmitted to the original body.
