Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

Even though he liked Tsunade, he kept his distance.

Because he won't stay for her.

Unless it's to fulfill the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage.

"when are you leaving?"

Tsunade asked calmly.

"tomorrow."

Jiraiya sighed inwardly.

Given Tsunade's current state, she's probably already extremely disappointed in him.

It's so painful.

"That should be enough time."

Tsunade nodded and said, "I'll leave after the succession ceremony tomorrow."

"Well."

Jiraiya smiled again and asked, "What are your plans after you retire?"

"Of course, I'm going to... cough cough."

Tsunade suddenly stopped, glanced back, and seeing that Shiki Aburame hadn't noticed her, said, "Let's go to the casino."

Jiraiya was taken aback.

What's the situation?

Even Tsunade, who is usually fearless, has this side to her.

At that moment, he felt a little envious of Yu Nu Zhihui.

"As expected of you."

Jiraiya paused, then asked, "Go gambling everywhere like before?"

"No, this time it's only in Konoha."

Meeting his surprised gaze, Tsunade made up a reason and said, "That brat just became Hokage, I can't run away."

"Too."

Jiraiya didn't think much of it and nodded, saying, "Zhihui is indeed young. Without someone watching him, he might run into trouble."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Aburame Shiki ended his chat with Uzumaki Naruto.

He said he was chatting, but he was actually just a listener.

Naruto Uzumaki kept talking about what he had encountered in the past two and a half years.

Many of these comments criticized Jiraiya's conduct.

"Hokage-sama."

Uzuki Yugao walked in and said, "It's almost nine o'clock, and most of the Jonin in the conference room have already arrived."

"let's go."

Aburame Shiki stood up and said, "Naruto, go find Sasuke and the others."

This is a meeting of Jonin, and Naruto Uzumaki is a Genin, so it is inconvenient for him to attend.

"Ok!"

Naruto Uzumaki ran out excitedly.

He had long wanted to meet Uchiha Sasuke and the others.

The conference room in the Hokage Building.

"Why is a Jonin meeting being convened so suddenly?"

Kakashi Hatake looked around and asked in confusion.

The Jonin Conference is a meeting that all Jonin must attend.

Unless there is something particularly important, it will not be convened.

After all, the Jonin are all quite busy.

You'll find out soon enough.

Sarutobi Asuma said in a somewhat complicated tone.

The content discussed at the birthday banquet that day was limited to the heads or representatives of the various ninja clans and was not leaked to outsiders.

"Mysterious."

Might Guy shook his head, then looked at Kakashi Hatake and said, "Kakashi, after the meeting, let's have a youthful showdown!"

Today is a Jonin meeting, so none of them have any missions.

Whenever he had free time, he would want to challenge Kakashi Hatake to a bayonet duel.

"No time."

Kakashi Hatake refused without hesitation.

"Is that Lord Jiraiya?"

Kurenai Yuhi suddenly widened her eyes.

"It really is."

Sarutobi Asuma's heart stirred.

At this time, Jiraiya returned to the village, probably for only one purpose: to support Shiki Aburame.

He discovered that Tsunade was indeed doing everything she could to help her student.

"It seems like this is a big deal."

Kakashi Hatake stared with dead fish eyes and said.

"The last time he attended the Jonin meeting was because Lady Tsunade became Hokage."

Kurenai Yuhi's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Could it be...?"

"You guessed right."

Asuma Sarutobi nodded.

"who is it?"

Kurenai looked at him, her eyes filled with anticipation, and asked, "Judging by your age, you should be from our generation, right?"

She even fantasized about being Sarutobi Asuma.

If he becomes Hokage, marrying him would be a huge win.

"..."

Sarutobi Asuma hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

The last thing a man wants is to lose face in front of the woman he likes.

But this time, Kurenai Yuhi was indeed wrong.

Just then, Tsunade slammed her hand on the table, drawing everyone's attention.

She glanced around and confirmed that almost everyone had arrived.

Even if one or two people don't show up, it won't affect the result.

"There's only one thing I wanted to tell you all today."

Tsunade stood up and said in a serious tone, "Regarding the vote for the Sixth Hokage."

The meeting room suddenly became lively.

They were completely unprepared for this, so they were all surprised.

After all, there was the elderly Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi who came before them.

Tsunade is younger and clearly not of retirement age yet.

However, some people are already wondering who it is.

Considering their age, their ideal candidates are Kakashi Hatake and Asuma Sarutobi, among others.

"I propose that Shiki Aburame become the Sixth Hokage."

Tsunade didn't waste any words and spoke directly.

The murmurs in the meeting room grew louder.

"How could it be Zhihui?"

Kakashi Hatake's dead fish eyes suddenly twitched, emitting an eerie light.

"Zhihui is only a Chunin, right?"

Kurenai covered her red lips, her tone filled with disbelief.

"As expected of Kakashi!"

Might Guy suddenly gave a thumbs up, "Your student became Hokage before mine, I've lost again!"

He was referring to Shiki Aburame and Naruto Uzumaki.

"..."

Kakashi Hatake twitched the corner of his mouth.

Don't compare yourselves in this kind of place!

Moreover, although Yu Nu Zhihui was his student, he actually didn't teach him anything.

Strictly speaking, they weren't students, but more like team members.
