From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 396 Asuma: I want a coup; Orochimaru: I want to report this.

"Tsunade-senpai..."

Asuma's gaze inadvertently swept over the large thunderbolt on his chest, and he greeted it with a smile.

"When did you return to Konoha?!"

"Just as you were spouting your nonsense," Tsunade glanced at Asuma, then at the quiet crowd in the shop, "what, are you trying to stage a coup with these kids?!"

“They are all new leaves, not suitable for a coup. If anyone should be in charge, it should be you three ninjas. I support you in taking down all four old guys.”

"Hmph, you've become arrogant just because you've gained a little strength."

"It's not that I don't know what I'm talking about, it's just childish talk. If Tsunade wants to become Hokage, I'll fully support her. I believe Jiraiya-senpai and Orochimaru-senpai will also support her. With their support, plus..."

"Shut up."

This time, even Tsunade couldn't take it anymore. This was in the most bustling downtown area of ​​Konoha, and the area was almost completely surrounded by people. You were talking about a coup here, and you even looked like you were revealing the coup plan. It was only because you were the Hokage's son that this happened. If it were anyone else, they would have been arrested by the Anbu long ago.

"Hmm, this place is indeed not suitable for a coup. Tsunade-senpai, it just so happens that I'm being promoted to Jonin today, so I'm treating everyone here. If you don't mind, please join us!"

Tsunade looked him up and down. "Alright, I'm just hungry."

Asuma smiled and welcomed Tsunade in.

"Would you like to book a private room?"

Tsunade stopped and gave Asuma a half-smile, saying, "Forget it, let's just stay in the main hall. That way, no one will accuse us of staged a coup."

"What did you say?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was discussing the situation in the ninja world and arranging various countermeasures with a group of high-ranking officials in the Hokage Building, almost fainted when he heard the report from the Anbu who rushed over.

The various high-ranking officials of Konoha also had different expressions.

Sarutobi Asuma, who had just been promoted to Jonin and was the son of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, made outrageous remarks at a barbecue restaurant, hurling insults at Hiruzen. He said that allowing the Ninja Academy students to graduate early was using Konoha's young talents as cannon fodder, and that his Will of Fire was like burning down leaves as soon as they sprouted. He directly rejected Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, and his demeanor was as if he were instigating a coup.

Most importantly, there were many people at the scene, including villagers from Konoha, Konoha ninjas, and definitely spies from other countries.

Ironically, his logic was impeccable and seemed quite reasonable.

Some ninjas and villagers even nodded in agreement.

What is this going to do?
At a time of turmoil in the ninja world, at a time when internal purges are needed to prepare for the great war, and at a time when Konoha should be united and working together, he openly contradicts the rules. What is he trying to do? Is he trying to sow discord and launch a coup?
In particular, after the Anbu finished their report, even some of the Jonin and ninja clan members present showed a look of approval in their eyes. And hey, Fugaku Uchiha, why did you turn your lips up so quickly? Don't think I didn't see you twitch your lips just now!

"Bang!!"

At that moment, Danzo slammed his hand on the table.

"How could Asuma do this? All the decisions we made were for the sake of Konoha, not for any one person. Hiruzen, Asuma is your son, is this how you raise your son?!"

"Enough!" Hiruzen Sarutobi glared at Danzo, then glanced at the ANBU who had come to deliver the message. Just as he was about to speak, another ANBU rushed over.

"what happened again?!"

No one could see the expression behind the ANBU mask, but from his subtle movements, he seemed very anxious, and when he looked at Hiruzen, he seemed to want to say something but couldn't.

"Just say what's on your mind. I've already lost enough face today, so I don't care if I lose a little more," Hiruzen Sarutobi said irritably.

"Yes, Lord Hokage, Lady Tsunade is back."

"Tsunade is back? Where?!"

Upon hearing that Tsunade had returned, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

"Right, right at the barbecue restaurant." The ANBU member stammered, "Ah, Asuma said, he, he wants to support Tsunade-sama as Hokage, and, he also said...!"

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire hall froze, becoming somewhat eerie.

"What else is there to say?!"

"They also said they wanted to get Jiraiya and Orochimaru to support Tsunade, and that they wanted to stage a coup."

After he finished speaking in one breath, even the breathing of the members of the secret service became quiet, and the conference room fell silent.

Yes, it means solemnity and silence.

Without saying a word, Hiruzen Sarutobi could sense that the atmosphere here was already starting to unsettle.

"What did Tsunade say?!"

"Lady Tsunade told Asuma to shut up, and then...!"

"And then what?!" "Then they ate barbecue together."

"Whoa!!"

"Damn it, is Tsunade a child too? She's still fooling around with him. Are they really planning a coup?!"

At this moment, Danzo jumped up again.

Damn it, I haven't even become Hokage yet, when did it become Tsunade's turn?
If you become Hokage, how can I become Hokage?

"Alright, go and call Asuma and Tsunade over. Also, call Orochimaru and Jiraiya over as well. I remember Jiraiya went back to the village yesterday."

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his head, looking a bit of a headache.

"Hiruzen, you're spoiling Asuma too much!" Danzo sensed something was wrong and shouted.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was unusually calm, even giving people a sense of relaxation.

"Danzo, Asuma is still a child, but sometimes, do children speak the truth? Don't you think Tsunade is a good choice?!"

"what?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone looked up, staring at Hiruzen Sarutobi in surprise.

What does it mean?
Your son is planning a coup and wants to drag your three apprentices into it. You still think it's a good choice?

Oh right, I almost forgot, you're all one family, one son and three disciples, they're all your people.

Damn it, are they putting on a show for us?
Does this even need a coup?

Why don't you just pass the position directly?
No... you're not planning a surprise attack and directly pass the throne to someone else, are you?
Once this was understood, the atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly strange, filled with a sense of impending doom, but with an ominous undercurrent.

In the silence, time passed quickly, and Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Asuma, and Tsunade arrived at the conference room almost simultaneously.

"Tsunade, you're back too?!"

Upon seeing Tsunade, Jiraiya smiled happily.

"Shut up, you idiot." Seeing Jiraiya's lewd smile, Tsunade felt a surge of irritation for no reason.

Orochimaru remained calm, nodded to Tsunade, and the group walked into the conference room together.

"Hey old man, I just got back. What do you want?!"

As soon as she entered the conference room, Tsunade expressed her dissatisfaction.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the four people who entered, tapped the table lightly, and said calmly, "I heard you're planning a coup?!"

"coup?!"

Jiraiya stared with his mouth slightly open, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, then at Tsunade, and then at Orochimaru, unable to discern anything.

"What coup?!"

"Idiot, shut up." Tsunade scolded in a low voice, then said, "It's not me who wants a coup, it's your son who wants a coup, old man. It seems you're a very incompetent father. He's very dissatisfied with you."

"Really? Asuma?!"

Asuma smiled and said, "A coup is too serious to call it. I just think that Tsunade-senpai is more suitable to be Hokage than you. After all, she would never do something as immoral as sending students of the Ninja Academy to graduate early and become cannon fodder on the battlefield."

"Shut up, Asuma! Do you know what you're saying?!" Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could even speak, Danzo roared, "This isn't just Hiruzen's decision; it's the village's decision. Since they've entered the academy, they should be prepared to become ninjas. You're a ninja too. Ninjas don't need excessive emotions. Emotions will only become weaknesses and obstacles. Asuma, your awareness is too low."

"It is a tool, but not a consumable."

At that moment, an unexpected voice appeared.

His voice was hoarse and deep, with a hint of irritation.

"Orochimaru?"

Everyone stared in surprise at the person who spoke. No one expected that this usually taciturn person would suddenly speak at this moment, and what he said was rather inexplicable.

"Orochimaru, what do you mean by this?!" Danzo said in a deep voice, feeling that his authority had been violated.

Orochimaru ignored him and turned his gaze to Hiruzen Sarutobi. "Hokage-sama, and all the elders and clan leaders, it's good that you're all here, which saves me a lot of trouble."

"Orochimaru, what do you want to say?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and asked calmly.

"I want to report this."
