The Jonin guarding the gate looked at Tsunade, and he had an idea in mind.

Rather than letting the Uchiha clan succeed and take power as they please, it would be better to let Tsunade sit in this position.

With the prestige and reputation of Tsunade and the Senju clan, they might not be unable to contend with the Uchiha clan.

It should be noted that the Senju clan was once the most powerful clan in Konoha, even more popular than the Uchiha clan.

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and Tobirama Senju, both died fighting for their village.

Although the village was founded by the Senju and Uchiha clans, the Uchiha clan was originally defeated by the Senju clan.

With that in mind, he made the suggestion decisively.

"Lady Tsunade, did you return to the village to run for the Fifth Hokage? Perhaps only you can stand against the Uchiha clan."

Tsunade was startled. The Fifth Hokage?

She never even considered running for this position.

"Not really."

The gatekeeper ninja was getting anxious; he had seen a glimmer of hope, how could he allow it to be dashed?

"Lady Tsunade, it would be a bad thing if the village were to be controlled by the Uchiha clan. On the contrary, it would be more convincing for people to lead Konoha, just like the First and Second Hokage led the village to peace and stable development."

Tsunade understood that it seemed not everyone was on the side of the Uchiha clan.

There was some comfort in my heart, even though the Senju clan had declined.

There are still people in the village who persist.

But now is clearly not the time to talk about this.

"Let's not talk about this now. I'm going to pay my respects to the Third Hokage."

"Mute, let's go."

After saying that, he left with Jingyin. They first went back to their clan's territory to put their things away, and then went to the cemetery to pay their respects to their teacher.

The Jonin guarding the gate watched Tsunade's departing figure, but a strange thought lingered in his mind.

Although the Third Hokage committed suicide out of guilt, he was actually forced to do so by the Uchiha clan.

We cannot allow the Uchiha clan to take power as they wish.

Although the Third Hokage did what he did, there were still many people in the village who did not want the Uchiha clan to rise to power.

For them, Tsunade is undoubtedly a better choice and would be more popular. He should inform these people.

After instructing the other ninjas to guard the gate and be on high alert, he...

He then went alone to visit those who did not support the Uchiha clan's rise to power.

After Tsunade brought Shizune back to her clan's territory, she put her things down.

They brought Shizune to the cemetery to pay respects to the Third Hokage.

Looking at the tombstone inscribed with the name of the Third Hokage, I felt a pang of emotion.

Things have changed so much. I never imagined that my teacher would die like this, with his reputation ruined.

It's truly tragic that they've been caught red-handed by the Uchiha clan and ended up in such a predicament.

After paying respects to the Third Hokage, she also went to pay respects to her grandfather, Hashirama Senju, and Tobirama Senju.

Tobirama Senju died in the Land of Clouds and Thunder, and his body was never recovered.

Time has passed, things have changed, and the Thousand Hands Clan has also declined.

She had no intention of rebuilding the Senju clan and summoning its members.

The clansmen have their own peaceful lives now, so why bother them? Being a ninja isn't a good path anyway.

Being an ordinary person means you don't have to get involved in the ninja world's conflicts.

She didn't want to be the head of a clan, as being the head of a clan is not an easy job.

After the worship ceremony, they naturally returned to the Thousand Hands Clan's territory.

But instead, they saw a group of people waiting at the main gate.

They were some familiar faces, he asked.

"How did you get here?"

The dozen or so clan leaders looked at Tsunade, their hearts filled with excitement; Tsunade had truly returned.

"Lady Tsunade is back, so of course I've come to pay my respects."

Tsunade was a little puzzled. So many people had come to visit her so soon after her return. Was she really that popular? She asked directly.

"Just tell me, stop beating around the bush, what are you here for?"

Some people stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly.

"We are preparing to hold a clan chief meeting in four days to elect a candidate for the Fifth Hokage. We would like to nominate Lady Tsunade for the position."

"That's right, with Tsunade's popularity and contributions, she should become the next Hokage."

Silent, standing to the side, was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

Are you kidding me? Tsunade becoming Hokage? You guys really dare to dream of that.

As Tsunade's subordinate and maid, she knew Tsunade all too well; she was a gambler with a terrible temper.

Is Konoha going to produce a Hokage who loves gambling?

Tsunade was also quite surprised.

"You actually recommended me?"

The clan chief immediately responded.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade, this is a decision we have made after careful consideration. You are the best candidate for the next position."

Chapter 205 Tsunade's Intention to Rise to Power

Tsunade was quite surprised by their answers; they actually thought she was the best candidate.

My reputation in the village wasn't very good before.

Moreover, in some people's eyes, she is still a woman and not capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities.

It's been a long time since I've been back to the village.

Compared to the Uchiha clan, which is currently at its peak, she felt that she was clearly in a weaker position.

Asked.

"Don't you think it's good for the Uchiha clan to rise to power?"

Some people also stood up and spoke out.

"The Uchiha clan's style of doing things is too radical, which is probably not a good thing."

He single-handedly eliminated or ousted the village's high-ranking officials.

Which clan in the ninja world would dare to do this?

Even if they have a legitimate reason for their actions, it also means that this clan is very difficult to deal with.

Compared to the Uchiha clan, if Tsunade had come to power, she obviously wouldn't have been so dominant.

Tsunade wholeheartedly agreed with his words; it was normal for the Uchiha clan's radical approach to provoke discontent.

From this perspective, the Uchiha are still the same Uchiha.

However, being the Third Hokage wasn't an easy job.

"I reject."

The clan leaders who came looked disappointed.

If Lady Tsunade doesn't run for office, no one else will have the right to compete with the Uchiha clan.

Whether in terms of prestige, combat strength, or reputation.

These three members of the Uchiha clan are all top-tier.

Now, no other member of the village can match him; getting close is impossible.

A clan chief stepped forward, heartbroken, and spoke.

"Lady Tsunade, you can't do this."

"Konoha Village was founded by Lord Hashirama Senju, after all. You can't just stand by and watch it go astray."

The others echoed in agreement.

"Please, Lady Tsunade, step forward and lead the village."

When Tsunade saw so many people urging her to take the position, she began to waver.

Konoha Village is an important place that the two grandfathers were willing to protect with their hearts and lives. Should I really just sit idly by and do nothing?

In truth, she couldn't foresee what state the Uchiha clan would lead the village to.

It might get better, or it might get worse.
