Chapter 92 Sarutobi Hiruzen, Congratulations to the 4th Hokage!
Chapter 92 Sarutobi Hiruzen, Congratulations to the Fourth Hokage!
"Danzo?!!"
Tsunade looked surprised, then her face became serious.
Danzo.
The core members of his root organization were wiped out, so he must still have subordinates, but perhaps not many.
however.
With the support of the daimyo and the nobles of Kyoto, Danzo will not be able to form another team unless the daimyo is willing to trust Konoha and does not reuse Danzo.
At this point, she couldn't tell what the daimyo was thinking.
Tsunade's expression was solemn.
"What does he want from you?"
"He wanted to unify the ninja world, but I felt that his ability was not worthy of his idea, so I rejected it."
Jingyan smiled.
Then he looked at Tsunade.
"Sis, I think you should talk to the Hokage-sama. The situation is settled now. The Third-sama should be decent and not make the situation more embarrassing."
"Perhaps Danzo had the same idea when he sent his shadow clones to attack you."
Tsunade said.
However, no matter how you look at it, this approach is beneficial to Tsunade.
"Yes, so he said, the fee has been paid."
Jingyan nodded.
Tsunade stood up and said, "I'm going to the Hokage building."
The next moment, she disappeared.
Jingyan sat in Tsunade's office, thinking about what to do. After thinking about it...
He sat down cross-legged.
The chakra accumulated over the past half month was released in the battle just now. It was just the right time to try to transform the Yin Seal according to my own ideas.
Reduce the size of the main "pool" and add a small-scale "pool number two".
……
Konoha Hokage Building.
Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled.
There was an application form on the table. He looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
More than ten years of career as a Hokage.
It was coming to an end soon, and he felt quite sad, especially since his way of leaving was not very dignified this time.
Just thinking about it.
There was a knock on the door, and he sensed it slightly before realizing it was Tsunade.
"come in."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stamped the application form and looked towards the door.
Tsunade is coming here now...
He picked up his pipe and took a puff.
"Tsunade."
"Old man, you should know what I want. Give me an accurate answer. I don't want the situation to get worse. If you hesitate any longer, I will have to use extraordinary measures!"
Tsunade's face was serious.
She came to issue an ultimatum.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a while, and then said lonely: "Has it come to this between us? Now you have the ability to become Hokage, I have no reason to stop you. Or do you think that I am someone who will do anything for the position of Hokage?"
"Danzo waits for no one."
Tsunade closed the door, her face cautious.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.
"what happened?"
"He attacked Jingyan..."
Tsunade told the whole story.
Danzo begins to pay attention to Kyohiko.
This was not good news for her. She needed enough power and status to fight against Danzo. The only way was -
Become Hokage as soon as possible!
Danzo's attack on Kyouhiko was a fatal blow to Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation, and if she had chosen to expose it, the Third Hokage would have to step down.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, and finally moved away the scroll covering the application form.
"I've made my decision, don't worry."
He stood up and took two steps forward.
Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Tsunade's shoulder with a serious expression.
"Tsunade, I once said that Danzo and I essentially hope that Konoha can become better. After returning to the village, your methods and abilities have improved rapidly. I believe you have such ability."
He handed the application to Tsunade.
On top was the resignation letter he was going to give to the daimyo, and below was a letter of recommendation, and the recommended candidate was Tsunade.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette, suppressed his emotions, and then continued speaking.
"Treat the people of Konoha well."
"Cherish them, love them..."
Then he took off the outer garment that symbolized the Hokage, took the Hokage's hat from the shelf beside him, and handed it to Tsunade.
With his handwritten letter of recommendation and the love of everyone in the village, the daimyo would basically not refuse the appointment of Hokage.
In Tsunade's condition, all that was left was a ritual.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "Jounin Sarutobi Hiruzen, congratulations to the Fourth Hokage!"
"Teacher, I..."
Tsunade took the hat and had not yet recovered from the situation.
She longed to become Hokage.
To this end, she has learned a lot during this period of time and done many things that she was not willing to do before. Now that she is really successful, she finds that she is not in a good mood.
At this moment, the teacher looked like a hero in his twilight years.
"Originally I wanted to wait a few days until everything was settled before looking for you, but now...just do it if you want to."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a cigarette and said with a smile, "In the short term, I can still help you check, so you don't have to worry too much."
Ok?
Check?
Tsunade had a bad thought in her mind.
Her face suddenly darkened.
"Teacher, you are not..."
"I will be a consultant, help you with a smooth transition, and supervise you in handling official affairs."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded seriously.
Bang!
In an instant, a chair shattered.
Tsunade said angrily: "Give me back my gratitude, you old bastard! What's the difference between you and not going down? There's one more person helping you with the work, right?"
"It's a big difference. You have the final say in the village now. We can only give advice."
Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly.
Tsunade looked grim.
Well said.
but.
Tsunade understood that the old man would not give up power just like that, he would definitely hold on to some of the power.
The centipede is dead but not stiff.
At this moment, there was a noise outside.
"Hokage-sama, this way..."
"Nothing, go do your own thing."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted outside.
Immediately, he got back the application form and recommendation letter.
"The appointment letter should be available within half a month at the latest. By then, you will be the official Fourth Hokage."
Watching him leave, Tsunade thought it was a joke.
She really wanted the Third Hokage to order it decently, but she didn't expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen would just wave his sleeves and leave the office, leaving it to her.
Not long after, an ANBU ninja appeared.
"Tsunade-sama, you should take care of your business."
"This sound..."
Tsunade tilted her head, slightly dazed, "Shinnosuke?"
The other party nodded slightly.
Tsunade was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't rush into marking the papers. Go to Konoha Hospital and call Ryomine Kyohiko over. He should still be there."
"Yes!"
……
Arriving at the Hokage building, Kyouhiko wasn't in a daze.
Because, before at the Konoha Hospital, he knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen had already made the decision to transfer power to Tsunade, which almost made him unable to work at that time -
【Sarutobi Hiruzen resigns from the position of Acting Hokage.】
Acting Hokage...
Jingyan couldn't hold it in any longer.
However, the presence of such information indicates that Sarutobi Hiruzen is now planning to resign from the position of Hokage and hand over the position of Konoha Hokage to Tsunade.
However, the reward he expected did not appear.
Then not long after, he met the Anbu ninja and followed them to the Hokage Building.
Before entering the door, he had mixed feelings.
On the one hand he was happy for Tsunade.
On the other hand... it's pretty frustrating to work so hard but get no reward!
After entering the door, Jingyan was thinking about how to get this money.
When he saw the Hokage's bamboo hat, he finally had an idea.
After entering the room, Sarutobi Shinnosuke left, and Tsunade closed the door. She and Kyouhiko were the only ones in the office, and they didn't have time to share their joy and complicated feelings...
Jingyan pretended to be curious and picked up the Hokage hat beside him: "Sister, can I try it on and see?"
Tsunade was stunned for a second, then her eyes became complicated, and she smiled and said, "Of course."
Jingyan put it on himself.
Nothing happened!
Ok.
At this moment, Tsunade's eyes were filled with tears. When she saw Jingyan looking up, she immediately turned her back to Jingyan and wiped her tears.
"When I saw you wearing a bamboo hat, I thought of Nawaki. He always wanted to be a Hokage since he was a child. If he were still alive, he would definitely be asking for a bamboo hat like you."
As she said this, she chuckled.
"I always think you are very mature, but sometimes, you seem very childish..."
The next moment, she felt something on her head.
It's the Hokage's hat.
"Take the oath!"
Jingyan said with a smile.
Tsunade sighed helplessly, but she still acted immediately, raised her head heroically and said: "From today on, I will lead Konoha!"
As Jingyan was expecting and feeling anxious, a familiar voice sounded.
[The other party accepted your appointment and became the new acting Hokage, and is willing to die for you and never betray you. ]
[Reward: Thousand Hands Bloodline Enhancement]
Bloodline?
Jingyan was so surprised that his pupils shrank.
Can this thing also be rewarded?
Fortunately, Tsunade didn't pay attention to him at the moment, but turned around.
"How about it?"
"nice!"
Jingyan came to his senses and immediately complimented.
Tsunade laughed a few times, then thought of the important matter and put the hat aside.
"Don't be happy in a hurry. Let's do business first, Jingyan. It was you who proposed the grading of ninja education, and Jiraiya is not in the village, so before promoting the issue, I want to hear your overall thoughts again."
Tsunade turned serious.
She took a piece of paper and wrote the three stages on it: "Enrollment", "Graduation", and "Genin".
"We can't do it all at once. We have to do it step by step. My idea is..."
Tsunade's idea was basically the same as what Kyouhiko had said before, but she only had a vague division of stages, and the specific details were still blank.
This is what she wanted to ask too.
After all, ninja schools normally last six years, but for many students with better backgrounds or talents, they can master it in one or two years.
How to plan is a difficult problem.
"In the first year of school, you must learn the most basic things first, such as chakra extraction and application, the basics of ninjutsu, the basics of illusion, and other related theories and practices."
"In the second year, we will learn more in-depth theoretical applications and survival and combat techniques, as well as improving chakra control abilities, etc."
"In the third year, they will have to screen. Students who are lagging behind will continue to deepen their studies, while those who are making rapid progress can be divided into majors first."
"We will provide targeted education based on their different strengths and focuses. For example, for those with strong chakra control and learning ability, we will let them learn medical ninjutsu and illusion techniques in advance..."
Jingyan talked freely.
He has been thinking about these questions for a long time.
specialized!
In Konoha's education system, there is no clear concept of "major" before graduation.
This doesn't make sense.
Konoha's theoretical education is actually quite difficult in the later stages. Many Genin don't even need to learn it because they may not be able to use it in their lifetime.
Tsunade heard this and understood the benefits of specialization, but...
There are disadvantages as well.
"But in areas like medicine and illusion, there are usually fewer people with talent. Wouldn't that mean there would be fewer ninjas taking classes? Besides, teachers are also a problem."
She considered reality.
Jing Yan said: "Many courses in different majors overlap, such as Taijutsu, Kunai Overdraft, Battlefield Judgment... The difference is the professional courses. You can think of them as some are required and some are elective."
“Required and elective.”
Tsunade understood immediately.
it is good!
Good idea!
In this way, teachers do not need to separate and only need to focus on elective courses.
and.
Children who cannot choose a major still have to take the required courses, and their extra time can be used to improve in the direction they want to improve...
As expected, it’s Jingyan!
Tsunade immediately took a note, her face full of excitement.
"This way, the teacher will be able to solve the problem much easier!"
"There are not enough teachers for elective courses. We can also find ninjas who are interested and have the right expertise to carry out the mission. Genin, Chunin, or even Jonin are all fine. Just treat it as a D- or C-rank mission..."
Jingyan suggested again.
He and Tsunade chatted until the evening, and only when the sun set did Tsunade reluctantly put away her pen and paper, while Jingyan had already drunk several glasses of water.
What a great chat!
But the results are good.
Basically, they discussed all the situations and problems during the ninja school period.
"I'll perfect the proposal when I get back tonight, and let the three old guys go to the ninja school tomorrow to hold a meeting with the teacher representatives to discuss it."
Tsunade smiled and weighed the book in her hand, "Let's see what else they have to say about this!"
In her opinion, the proposal was perfect.
Basically, all the problems of the ninja school have been taken into consideration in this volume, and there are corresponding solutions.
More perfect than before!
……
Farewell Tsunade.
After returning home, Jingyan sat cross-legged and carefully felt the changes in his body.
Bloodline Enhancement——
In terms of physical strength, there doesn't seem to be much change.
However, there is an extra memory in my mind.
After integrating his memories, he roughly understood the situation.
The effect of bloodline enhancement is not a direct improvement, its effect will be gradually reflected in the next period of time, and the effect of Thousand Hands Bloodline focuses on the "physical body".
The bodies, strength, and chakra control of the Senju clan are often stronger, and the strength of the body also brings more chakra than ordinary people.
This reward is comparable to a bloodline limit.
Although it is not...
Jingyan glanced at the panel and sighed in his heart.
With my current abilities, I can at least protect myself on the battlefield, so I won't be drowned in the tide of war like cannon fodder.
With the turmoil in Konoha, war may really be coming!
but.
Jingyan has no regrets.
Stability alone does not mean strength.
The temporary pain will activate Konoha. In the future, Konoha will definitely become more powerful!
……
The next day, the staff in the Hokage Building quickly felt the change.
Although the name of the person who signed the document was still Sarutobi Hiruzen, the handwriting had obviously changed, and they even saw Sarutobi Hiruzen outside.
Who's in that office?
Soon, everyone knew the answer.
Tsunade!
The news spread quickly and the whole of Konoha was in an uproar.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen had suddenly quit before, everyone might have been afraid and panicked, but over the past month, Tsunade's actions and words have allowed everyone to see her abilities.
Similarly, policies such as the grading of ninja schools have also given many civilians hope.
Compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has recently been involved in many problems, everyone trusts Tsunade more. Instead of resisting Tsunade's promotion, they excitedly take to the streets to celebrate.
For a time, the izakaya and tea street were full of people.
Standing on the rooftop, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly, but soon he smiled with relief.
Although he will soon no longer be Hokage, at least Konoha has the next generation of heirs. Think about the situation when Tsunade left Konoha, isn't the current situation better?
Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking.
Hokage's office.
One by one, the Chunins came over with documents in their hands, with a hint of hesitation in their eyes, as if they were considering what to address them, and finally spoke haltingly.
"Tsunade-sama..."
"The teacher is ill, I'll take over during this period, so leave it here."
Tsunade rubbed her brows.
It’s so tiring to correct documents!
She sighed and then knocked on the side.
"Are you there?"
"exist."
Shinnosuke appears.
Tsunade said, "Contact your father and the other two advisors and ask them to select several ninja school teachers who can represent each course. We will hold a meeting at the ninja school to discuss the specific plan for the grading of ninja schools."
"Yes!"
