Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 414 The Heir, Oh, the Heir

Ultimately, the gathering ended with each family's female relatives coming to pick up their husbands.

When Tsunade arrived, she saw Yua clinking glasses with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha, shouting loudly, "Cheers! Cheers! We're not leaving until we're drunk! Forget about that old woman at home! Today we're the freest people!"

Tsunade's face immediately darkened.

After that, Yua was dragged away by Tsunade, who grabbed her ear.

Although this made Yuya lose face a little, but...

Considering that it was Tsunade, even if the villagers saw her, they wouldn't think much of it.

Back home, Tsunade stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Yua: "Can't you even take a shower? You reek of alcohol. You really don't care about your health at all!"

Yuya was thrown onto the sofa by Tsunade. He stood up, clenched his fist, and then his body emitted a wisp of steam.

Moreover, the steam has a very strong alcoholic smell.

Tsunade was somewhat surprised: "Honey, what's wrong with you?!"

Yuya clenched his fist, shook his head, exhaled, and looked at Tsunade, saying, "It's just evaporating the alcohol inside my body with chakra, what's so strange about that?"

Actually not.

The principle behind this skill is the return of life from another world.

Simply put, the more you eat, the more energy you recover, and this process is very fast.

Of course, that's not the real story, but I won't go into detail here to avoid padding the word count.

In short, that's how it is presented.

Tsunade was speechless: "My great-grandfather spent his whole life researching ninjutsu. Your research... is far inferior to his."

Youya shrugged and said as he walked into the bathroom, "Please get me a bathrobe. I'm going to take a shower first."

Tsunade was a little angry, but she could only help Yua get her a yukata.

Ten minutes later, Youya, having finished showering, came out of the bathroom and sat on the sofa while drying her hair.

"Since you're so clear-headed, then tell me, why did you suddenly decide to have dinner with him today?" Tsunade crossed her arms and looked at Yuya.

Yuya walked over, put his arm around Tsunade, and whispered, "Because we had no other choice."

Tsunade asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Yuya sighed: "Sunagakure has confirmed the next Kazekage, Kumogakure has confirmed it, and Kirigakure is even more certain."

Even in Iwagakure, I've met Onoki's son, and to be honest, he's not particularly outstanding. But putting everything else aside, he'll definitely carry out his father's policies without hesitation.

Although he may not seem very capable, he is at most lacking in ambition. He should be able to maintain the situation in Iwagakure.

And what about our Konoha?"

You Ya sighed helplessly as he spoke.

Tsunade thought about it and realized that made sense.

The Flamethrower Clan often produces outstanding individuals; Fugaku from the Uchiha Clan is a prime example, as he only had his clan in his eyes.

The Shimura family members are all roughly the same type.

At Hiruzen Sarutobi's house, Asuma Sarutobi, who had high hopes for his son, had a huge argument with his father over a woman named Kurenai Yuhi.

A skilled commoner ninja, Minato Namikaze had absolutely no interest in power, and moreover...

Tsunade knew Minato Namikaze's strength, but the villagers of Konoha didn't!

Having never experienced war, Konoha Village now faces an extremely difficult task in promoting someone with war merits to power.

So, in this case, the most popular character is actually Danzo?

Because Yua had tricked Danzo last time and executed him with a cannon shot, blasting Danzo into nothingness, Yua buried Danzo with the honors due to appease the Shimura clan.

Of course, the Shimura clan knew what was going on, but the villagers of Konoha didn't.

They knew that Shimura Danzo had risked his life to retake the position, and after his death, Kumogakure, moved by Danzo's loyalty, withdrew its troops.

Of course. We all know that's nonsense now.

But some people do believe it.

Youya covered his forehead, speechless: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a downside without war."

Tsunade asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Yuya: "If there is a war, with Minato Namikaze's abilities, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself. He might even have some kind of fame like the Yellow Flash."

But now that there's no war, how will the villagers know Minato Namikaze's strength?

Tsunade laughed: "You mean the world on the other side of that dimensional rift in Loulan, right?"

Minato Namikaze over there is indeed a very good person.

However, the two worlds are not comparable. As the Hokage, it's alright for you to work a little harder and put more effort into the succession.

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Yuya suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Tsunade, saying, "I remember, the Hokage of that other world was you, Tsunade..."

Tsunade's expression immediately turned cold.

"You wouldn't want your wife, me, to clean up this mess, would you?"

Yuya complained, "How is this a mess? I've developed Konoha so well!"

Tsunade scoffed, "Yeah, you're doing so well, so whoever takes your place will inevitably be compared to you, right?"

Yuya was taken aback, then looked at Tsunade and asked with a serious expression, "Who... told you that?"

Tsunade sighed helplessly, then pulled Yua into her arms. Feeling Tsunade's broad chest, Yua felt a little hot...

"Does anyone need to say it? Isn't it obvious?"

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, a sudden thought flashed through Yua's mind: "You mean to say..."

Tsunade's eyes were filled with sadness as she sighed and said, "Today's dinner party will be pointless. Those people who are destined not to take office will still not take office."

You Ya fell silent for a moment.

Tsunade, holding her lover, felt a sense of helplessness.

The village is developing too well; without war, there's really nothing we can do...

The position of Hokage is not what it used to be...

unless……

Unless the person who sits in that position is a shameless guy who thinks Yu Yaqian is just so-so or something.

But is such a person even possible? Even if he were, how could he possibly sit in that position surrounded by the Sarutobi, Shimura, Hyuga, and other families?

and so……

It's really quite difficult...

……

Sarutobi Tribe Territory:

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Asuma Sarutobi kneeling on the ground, his cheeks still slightly flushed.

However, he still sternly questioned Sarutobi Asuma: "You don't want to become Hokage, do you?! Is that why you married a commoner ninja, why you argued with me, and even deliberately sent people to the village to spread rumors that our relationship was bad?!"

Sarutobi Asuma remained silent for a long time before finally sighing helplessly, "Yes."
