Naruto, your uncle is going to be Hokage!

……

Inside an izakaya (Japanese pub) in a small town.

Tsunade toyed with the wine glass in her hand.

He glanced at the two masked ANBU members beside him, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

"You mean, Namikaze Mirai went back to the village?"

"Yes."

One of the men in the shadows wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It was truly remarkable that they were able to get Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, to sit down and listen to them.

"Minato's younger brother? I didn't expect him to return to the village at this time after being missing for three years."

Tsunade grabbed the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking it, her cheeks flushed slightly.

As one of the Legendary Sannin, she was naturally familiar with Namikaze Mirai.

Minato was Jiraiya's disciple, and that kid Jiraiya would often praise Minato's talent in front of her, and along with him, he would also praise the two brothers.

However, Namikaze Mirai's approach is indeed assertive.

During the three wars, although she could only stay in the rear support battlefield due to hemophobia, she would occasionally hear about Minato and future achievements.

Yellow flash and blue flash.

The Two-Colored Flash of Konoha, a name that strikes fear into the hearts of enemies.

Tsunade looked dejected and grabbed another cup of wine, gulping it down.

He placed the empty wine glass on the table and glanced at the two ANBU with a playful look.

"So, when Namikaze Mirai returned and saw her nephew being abused, she stormed into Konoha in a fit of rage. The old man is very troubled by this and wants to ask me to return to the village?"

"Lady Tsunade, please don't say that!" A member of the Anbu was sweating profusely.

He immediately explained, "Jinchūriki have never been mistreated!"

"is it?"

Tsunade's eyes held an even deeper sense of amusement.

She remembered that Naruto had been basically left to his own devices since Minato and Kushina passed away.

A two- or three-year-old child lives alone.

How well can they live?

It's normal for Namikaze to be furious in the future.

If Kushina were to be resurrected, the village would probably be thrown into chaos.

"Danzo was also killed by him?"

Tsunade picked up a glass of wine and asked casually.

"Yes."

Sure enough, a slight light appeared in Tsunade's eyes.

In the village, the only one who would dare to kill Danzo so openly is probably Mirai Namikaze.

That guy has never been one to stay put.

An ANBU member hurriedly reminded her, "Lady Tsunade, Danzo is, after all, Konoha's Kage and a close friend of your teacher, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Please show him some respect."

"cut!"

Tsunade didn't take it seriously, grabbed a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Danzo's death might actually be a good thing for Konoha.

After finishing the drink, her eyes suddenly cleared, and her gaze towards the two members of the secret service became serious.

"Tell me about that Wood Release ninja!"

Of all the information these two ANBU members provided, the Wood Release ninja was the one she cared about most.

Seeing that Tsunade had finally become serious, the Anbu immediately spoke up.

"His name is Tenzo. He was originally a member of Danzo's Root organization. Because Danzo was killed by Namikaze Mirai, they were able to discover him..."

Listening to the narration from the Dark Division.

Tsunade fell into deep thought.

If a Wood Release ninja is truly born in Konoha, it might be necessary to go back and take a look.

He is the second person in history to use Wood Release, after his grandfather Hashirama Senju.

Chapter 61 The Struggle for the Fifth Generation! A New Era is Approaching

"Tsunade agreed to return to the village?"

In the Hokage's room, upon hearing the news from the Anbu, Hiruzen Sarutobi was so excited that he dropped his pipe to the ground.

"It's absolutely true! Lady Tsunade has agreed to return to the village."

The secret agent who reported this also showed a hint of joy in his eyes.

After receiving Tsunade's reply, they immediately returned to Konoha without stopping.

We must report this exciting news to the Hokage!

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, calming his inner joy.

Konoha is currently in complete chaos.

With Danzo dead and his support gone, the pressure on his shoulders increased several times over in an instant.

If Tsunade were to return to the village, all of this could finally change.

The ANBU member hesitated for a moment, then added, "However, Lady Tsunade has one condition: she doesn't want to get involved in political struggles; she just wants to come back and see the Wood Release ninjas."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

"I understand."

He was well aware that Tsunade disliked getting involved in fights.

But once Tsunade returns to Konoha, there will be room for maneuver in many things.

Minato's younger brother, Namikaze Mirai, almost openly admitted that he had his eye on the Hokage position.

But becoming Hokage isn't something you can do just by being strong.

The election of Hokage has three stages.

The first stage is to determine the candidates for Hokage. Only those with strength, reputation, and ability can be elected.

The second stage is the Jonin election, which is a contest of the power behind the candidates.

Only those candidates with the most Jonin votes can ultimately become Hokage.

Namikaze Mirai is at a clear disadvantage in this regard. He is almost entirely backed by the Uchiha clan, and even if he were to receive a unanimous vote, he would still be inferior to Tsunade.

As the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju and the princess of Konoha, Tsunade enjoys a deep-rooted popularity among the people of Konoha.

It is by no means something that the future of the waves can easily shake.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has decided to do everything in his power to promote Tsunade to the position of Fifth Hokage.

"We must first build momentum for Tsunade."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and made up his mind.

He groaned for a moment.

"Spread the word immediately: Tsunade, the princess of Konoha, will be returning to the village soon."

"Yes!"

The kneeling officer immediately responded.

……

"Is Lady Tsunade finally going back to the village?"

"Great! The princess of Konoha is coming back!"

With Hiruzen Sarutobi pushing things from behind the scenes, the news that Tsunade was going to return to the village spread throughout the entire village almost overnight.

The older generation of villagers were moved to tears.

They were firsthand witnesses to the era of Hashirama Senju, so they placed even greater emphasis on Tsunade's bloodline.

Is the princess of Konoha finally coming back?

The ninjas of all the major ninja clans received the news immediately.

Unlike the villagers, these ninjas were mostly perceptive and sensed a political undertone in the message.
