Naruto: The village was on the verge of bankruptcy, and I struck oil.

He even yelled that he was going out to beat someone up.

Nara Shikamaru snapped, "Naruto, shut up! Can't you see what's going on?"

Naruto then noticed that everyone had a serious expression on their face.

Tsunade: "As you can see, the Hidden Cloud Village has launched a massive attack, and we estimate that we will definitely lose this battle."

Everyone looked sad.

Tsunade: "We cannot let the Will of Fire of Konoha be lost. You are the hope of Konoha. I will send the Anbu to escort you to break through. As the seeds of Konoha, you must survive."

Nara Shikamaru: "Where are we going?"

Tsunade: "Going to Sunagakure is the only safe place for me right now."

Chapter 401 Tsunade's Resignation

With three Raikage who could regenerate infinitely, it took several days to defeat them.

Tsunade understood as well.

No matter how brave, how unafraid of sacrifice, or how unafraid of death the Konoha ninjas are, they can't compare to those who simply cannot die.

If the fighting continues like this, the people of Konoha will likely sacrifice themselves in vain.

Tsunade can lose at gambling, but she can't afford to lose at gambling with her life.

She decisively chose to let the cockroaches run away, preserving the embers.

Everyone was very saddened to hear that they had to leave the village.

Naruto Uzumaki was so excited that his face turned red.

"How can we abandon the people in the village? Aren't we supposed to protect the village?"

"We will fight the Cloud Ninja to the very end."

Tsunade was furious upon hearing this.

Why are you such a disobedient child?

She grabbed Naruto and punched him repeatedly until he was covered in bumps.

The situation is urgent now, and there's no time to try and persuade him with words.

"Shikamaru, I'm appointing you as captain. You're in charge of leading them to evacuate to Sunagakure. Do you understand?"

Nara Shikamaru found this mission quite troublesome.

They had to break through the encirclement of the Cloud Ninja, safely bring the people to safety, and manage so many people.

My inner slacker soul is suffering.

He nodded.

"Yes, ma'am. I will make sure they are safely delivered."

Naruto was still being stubborn.

"I will live and die with the village."

Nara Shikamaru gave the order directly.

"Akimichi Choji, Inuzuka Kiba, you two tie him up."

That Naruto is so annoying!

Tsunade nodded.

"Alright then, you guys should leave now."

Suddenly a voice came.

Where are you going?

Everyone turned around and saw that the disabled elderly man, Shimura Danzo, was walking over with two younger brothers, leaning on a cane.

Tsunade found the old silver coin a bit annoying.

Even at this critical moment, you're still wandering around.

"Shimura Danzo, what are you doing here instead of at your post?"

"What if there's a breach in your defenses?"

Danzo Shimura sneered.

"So what if there's a breach?"

"Tsunade, you know in your heart that Konoha will be breached sooner or later."

"All resistance is futile."

Tsunade glared angrily at Shimura Danzo.

"What are you saying?!"

"We Konoha ninjas are not afraid of sacrifice; we will fight to the last moment."

Danzo Shimura scoffed.

"Sacrifice? What's the use of sacrifice?"

"If we sacrifice ourselves, then Konoha Village will cease to exist. What would be the point of our sacrifice then?"

In fact, it might really be like that.

Tsunade and the Konoha 1s fell silent.

Danzo Shimura shook his head.

"The village that Hiruzen and I risked our lives to protect cannot be destroyed like this."

"Tsunade, you are not a qualified Hokage. It is because of your reckless behavior and collusion with the Sand Village that our village is in crisis."

Naruto's body was tied up, but his mouth wasn't.

He said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Grandma Tsunade has done so much for everyone, and the village is getting better and better under her leadership."

"What's so good about it!"

Danzo Shimura was furious.

What is the purpose of ninjas?

Everyone was stunned.

What does this have to do with the meaning of ninjas' existence?

Danzo Shimura was deeply saddened.

"A ninja is a sword. The purpose of a sword is to be used by people. A ninja that no one needs is a useless sword and has no value."

"Look what the Sand Village is doing. They destroyed the Daimyo, destroyed the mission system, and no one needs us ninjas anymore. So what's the point of our existence as Konoha ninjas?"

Danzo Shimura's twisted and heretical arguments actually shocked everyone present.

At first glance, that makes a lot of sense.

Let's assume the person who posted the task is the client.

If Party A is gone, what's the point of Party B still being alive?

This tricky angle left Tsunade speechless.

Shimura Danzo was very pleased to see everyone silent.

Humph.

You bunch of idiots who don't know the true meaning of ninjas.

Fortunately, Konoha had Danzo Shimura, otherwise it would have been truly destroyed.

Danzo Shimura said to Tsunade, "Tsunade, I have already reached an agreement with the Cloud Village. You will step down and I will succeed you. After I become Hokage, I will restore the old system, and then the Cloud Village will live in peace with us."

Tsunade glared angrily.

"Have you already defected to the enemy?!"

Danzo Shimura shouted, "What treason? What I did has been approved by the daimyo. He has agreed to my proposal."

He waved his hand.

His men carried a television up from the mountain.

On the television, the Fire Country Daimyo said to Tsunade, "Tsunade, judging from the current situation, Konoha Village, under your leadership, is no longer able to protect the Fire Country."

"I hope you will heed my advice, step down in time to save the village, and hand over the Hokage position to Shimura Danzo."

"This way, we can protect both Konoha and the Land of Fire."

Danzo Shimura continued, "The elders of all the major clans in the village support me."

talking.

Koharu Utatane, the Hyuga clan leader, the Yamanaka clan leader, and others also came to the balcony.

Tsunade looked at this group of people, her mood sinking into depression.

She murmured, "Do you all agree to let Shimura Danzo become Hokage?"

Koharu Utatane: "Tsunade, you did a good job, but it's true that if you follow the Kazekage's methods, it will only make us lose our reason for being."

Danzo Shimura: "If you step down, I'll take over, and the Cloud Ninja will retreat immediately. Then no one in the village will be sacrificed, and no one will need to escape. Make your own decision."

Tsunade remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

"Alright, I'll abdicate."

Danzo Shimura was a man who aspired to become Hokage.

He has finally achieved his goal today.
