Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

The giant toad sage paused for a moment and then said, "We must find them in advance and nip them in the bud."

"Little Jiraiya, during your travels through the ninja world, have you discovered any powerful summoning beasts?"

"Imperial Master Fukasaku said with a solemn expression."

"There are indeed some."

Jiraiya pondered for a moment and said, "The salamander from Amegakure is very powerful."

"Since it's a sacred place, there must be a lot of them."

Even the immortal Fukasaku knew about salamander.

After all, it was indeed present when the three legendary ninjas fought Hanzo.

"really."

Jiraiya frowned and said, "If it's a powerful summoning beast clan, I don't recall them at the moment."

"Not urgent."

The Great Toad Sage smiled kindly. "Just keep an eye out when you're searching for the Child of Prophecy."

"Ok."

Jiraiya agreed without hesitation.

Since it concerned the safety of Mount Myoboku, he naturally had no choice but to do so.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Jiraiya."

The giant toad sage closed his eyes again, and his breathing quickly became calm.

"Little Jiraiya, since you're already here, have a meal before you leave."

The hermit Fukasaku smiled and said, "I'll have my wife get you some fresh vegetables."

"I can't do it! I can't do it!"

Jiraiya was so frightened that he took several steps back.

Are those colorful insect dishes meant for human consumption?

A long time ago, he tried it once, and the result was that he vomited and had diarrhea, and he was completely exhausted.

"Farewell!"

Jiraiya ran away without hesitation.

……

Saturday.

Today is the scheduled succession ceremony for the Fifth Hokage.

The villagers voted this morning, and the result was self-evident: it passed unanimously.

Tsunade's reputation in Konoha Village is evident.

Although she drinks and gambles, as a medical ninja, she is absolutely unmatched.

The succession ceremony was finally scheduled for 2 p.m.

Afterwards, a Jonin meeting will be held.

Some people are looking forward to this meeting, while others are fearful.

For example, Koharu Tsunematsu and Mitokado Yan.

Although Tsunade did not reveal how she would deal with it, she did not contact them once during those three days.

This is obviously not normal.

As advisors to the Hokage, they have an excellent understanding of how Konoha Village operates.

When Minato Namikaze took office, he often came to consult them.

But Tsunade wouldn't even see them.

That's right, even when they took the initiative to see her, they were turned away.

All these behaviors are undoubtedly ominous signs.

But they didn't sit idly by; they contacted allies such as the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan to lend them a hand when the time came.

We must at least retain the Hokage advisor.

The only pity was that Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have been affected by the visit and refused to see them.

Otherwise, it would be easier if he were to step in.

Hokage's office.

Oil Girl Zhihui yawned.

He looked at Tsunade, who was comfortably reclining in the Hokage's chair, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Are you the Hokage, or am I the Hokage?

Why can I help you revise your speech?

"Are you tired? Sit on the teacher's lap."

Tsunade patted her thigh, causing her thigh muscles to sway slightly.

To treat hemophobia, they would hug each other from time to time, sit on each other's laps, and it was perfectly fine.

Moreover, Tsunade always treated him like a child.

Of course, it was mainly Yu Nu Zhihui who was helping her with the work.

Just then, a knocking sound came from the window.

Tsunade and Shiki Aburame both looked towards the window not far away.

A middle-aged man with white hair, wearing a headband with the character "oil" on it and a red jacket, was squatting by the window.

"Jiraiya?"

Tsunade was taken aback.

"Tsunade!"

Jiraiya jumped into the office and excitedly moved closer to her.

"roll!"

Tsunade's forehead creased with a tic-tac-toe pattern, and she threw a punch without hesitation.

There was a bang.

Jiraiya was sent flying backwards, landing sprawled on his back in the wall.

Yu Nu Zhihui waved away the flying dust without expression.

"Hey! It hurts!"

Jiraiya struggled to his feet and said nostalgically, "It still tastes familiar."

"What? You've found your prophesied child?"

Tsunade gave a light hum and asked.

"No."

Jiraiya shook his head and said, "Isn't it because you're going to become Hokage? I definitely have to come back."

"Well."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes and said, "Do me a favor. I don't like those two Hokage advisors."

"You don't want me to be the Hokage's advisor, do you? No way!"

Jiraiya quickly waved his hand and said, "You know me, I'm a wandering dragon, the ocean is my home."

Oil Girl Zhihui glanced at him subconsciously.

Two thousand dollars for Jiraiya?

"I don't want you to be the Hokage advisor, I want to cancel the Hokage advisory position."

Tsunade explained, "Just support me."

When she was considering becoming a Hokage advisor, she did think of Jiraiya.

But he definitely won't agree.

He would even refuse the position of Hokage for the sake of being the Child of Prophecy, let alone becoming a Hokage advisor.

However, Jiraiya, as one of the Legendary Sannin, was no less powerful or prestigious than her.

With his support, the resistance from Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado will be greatly reduced.

"Cancel? You've really changed. You weren't this radical before."

Jiraiya was stunned. "So, the story about you forcing me to abdicate is indeed true?"

"nature."

Tsunade's gaze sharpened, and she asked, "You have a problem with that?"

"The old man has worked hard for half his life, why can't we give him a dignified exit?"

To be honest, when Jiraiya first heard the news, he was somewhat blaming Tsunade.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi was their teacher and had been kind to them.

Even so, it's wrong to force him into a corner like this, leaving him unable to back down.

“I also wanted to help him save face, but he wouldn’t give me the chance.”

Tsunade casually tossed a folder to her and said, "Take a look for yourself."

Jiraiya caught it, opened it out of curiosity, and began to read.

A few seconds later, his expression turned serious.

"Confused."
