Chapter 245 Tsunade: I am the Hokage

Chapter 245 Tsunade: I am the Hokage (Part and )

With Sarutobi Hiruzen's recommendation and the nod from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Tsunade's progress towards becoming the Fourth Hokage has reached 99%.

The remaining 1% is the process of jonin voting, village voting, and Hokage succession ceremony.

"Tsunade."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Tsunade.

The first thing she did after arriving was to care about Hanekawa, as if she didn't care about anyone else except her as a student.

"Old man, do you have any instructions?"

Tsunade had mixed feelings.

Did he become Hokage under these circumstances?

Ever since Nawaki's death, she had lost interest in the Hokage.

She felt that the position of Hokage was like a curse, causing all her loved ones to die for it.

Hashirama Senju is one, Tobirama Senju is one, and Nawaki is one too.

Tsunade glanced at Hanekawa out of the corner of her eye.

If it weren't for this brat, she definitely wouldn't have ascended to the position of Hokage for no apparent reason.

Forget it, just think of it as serving him for a few years in advance, and then I can run away when the time comes.

"From now on, you will temporarily take over the position of Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice, "You will be responsible for handling tonight's affairs."

"Yes."

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then agreed.

The reason why it is temporary is that the process has not been completed yet.

"Shimura Danzo attempted to assassinate the daimyo, but was killed on the spot by Hanekawa!"

Tsunade met everyone's gaze and spoke loudly.

"Yes."

Everyone answered in unison.

Although Mitokado En and Utane Koharu were unwilling, they had to bow to the new Hokage.

Tsunade glanced around.

Hinata Hizashi was the most excited, followed by Uchiha Fugaku.

Hanekawa was the most indifferent, as if he had expected it.

Tsunade pouted.

This little brat is getting bolder and bolder. She will definitely settle the score with him after this is over!
"Shimura Danzo is imprisoned in Konoha's heavy prison. If he wants to escape, he must have the help of his companions."

Tsunade said with a serious look, "Hanekawa, you go check it out, and the Anbu will assist you."

"is teacher."

Hanekawa was a little surprised.

It seems Tsunade has guessed something.

But she also made a choice, which was to cover up for him.

If you investigate yourself, you will definitely get no results.

No, it should be said that Hanekawa can take this opportunity to take over the inheritance of Shimura Danzo and the Root.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Haru and the other ANBU ninja said in unison.

"It's getting late today, everyone go back and rest."

Tsunade paused and said, "A jonin meeting will be held at nine tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Hizashi and others bowed slightly and turned to leave.

"Big name."

Tsunade walked up to the Fire Country Daimyo and said apologetically, "You were frightened tonight. I will take you back."

"It doesn't matter."

The Fire Country Daimyo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Let Hiruzen take me."

"Yes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen probably guessed what he wanted to say.

But he has let it go and will not pursue it anymore.

Because this is the best choice for Konoha Village.

Everyone had left, leaving only Tsunade and Hanekawa.

"Kid."

Tsunade walked a few steps to Hanekawa, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and asked viciously, "Did you plan tonight?"

"Yes."

Hanekawa reached out, held her hand, and asked, "Teacher, are you angry?"

"Shouldn't I be angry?"

Tsunade's face darkened when she heard that and she asked back.

"Sorry, it is my fault."

Hanekawa Lightspeed apologizes.

"What's wrong with you?"

Tsunade asked as she broke free of his hand and grabbed his face instead.

"It was I who released Shimura Danzo without authorization and allowed him to control the daimyo."

Hanekawa said truthfully.

"anything else?"

Tsunade asked with a snort.

"what?"

Hanekawa thought about it carefully, looked at her stern face, and asked hesitantly, "What else?"

"You do not know?"

Tsunade was so angry that her chest heaved.

"Teacher, calm down."

Hanekawa really wanted to reach out and help pat it.

"Why didn't you ask me in advance?"

Tsunade used a little force and his face was deformed.

"Aren't you afraid that the teacher won't agree?"

Hanekawa understood after hearing this.

That's why he was angry.

If that were the case, it wouldn't be that dangerous.

"You didn't even ask, how do you know she would disagree?"

Tsunade glared at him and asked with great dissatisfaction.

“I’ll definitely ask next time!”

Hanekawa hastily assured.

"And next time?"

Tsunade asked as she grabbed his collar and pulled it down.

"no next time!"

Hanekawa looked at the beautiful face so close to him, his heart moved, and he suddenly kissed her on the forehead.

"You...what are you doing?"

Tsunade subconsciously pushed him away and shouted angrily, "Do you want to die, little brat!"

"See you tomorrow, teacher!"

Hanekawa ran away quickly.

"asshole!"

Tsunade stomped her feet in anger.

With a click, the ground cracked and countless spider-web-like cracks appeared.

After a long time, Tsunade touched her forehead and couldn't help but be stunned.

a new day.

What happened last night has spread throughout Konoha Village.

Although Shimura Danzo's attack on the Fire Country Daimyo was surprising, the most eye-catching thing was the change of Hokage.

The entire Konoha Village was in turmoil.

"teacher!"

Mitarashi Anko hurried to Orochimaru's underground laboratory.

"What happened?"

Orochimaru asked as he walked out of the lab.

"Tsunade-sama has become the Fourth Hokage."

Mitarashi Anko said with a look of regret.

She had always thought that Orochimaru could become the Fourth Hokage, but now he has no chance at all.

"I see."

Orochimaru said indifferently.

In his opinion, after the end of the Ninja World War, it was a foregone conclusion that Tsunade would become the Fourth Hokage.

The only suspense is the time.

It seems that the old man is quite anxious as he confirmed it so quickly.

"One more thing!"

Mitarashi Anko said very gossipy, "Shimura Danzo attacked the Daimyo!"

Orochimaru couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

How did Danzo Shimura escape?

Although the Root ninjas are quite powerful, the Konoha Prison is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for them to rescue him silently.

Not to mention that he could safely go and attack the Fire Country Daimyo.

"Where's Danzo?"

Orochimaru asked.

"He was killed by Hanekawa-senpai!"

Mitarashi Anko exclaimed, "I heard the battle didn't even last half a minute, that's amazing!"

Orochimaru was immediately surprised.

He thought that Shimura Danzo could save his life after returning to the village, but in the end he died.

Orochimaru was thoughtful.

I wonder if this was planned by Tsunade or if it was just an accident by Hanekawa?
He prefers the former.

Because of this incident, Tsunade became the biggest beneficiary.

"Go down and practice."

Orochimaru closed the door again. Even if he knew the whole story, he would not stand up for Shimura Danzo.

Now, he just wants to do his own experiments, and then look for opportunities to see if he can obtain Wood Release and Mangekyō Sharingan.

Hatake Sakumo's family.

"Good morning, Kakashi."

Asuma Sarutobi greeted with a smile.

Besides him, there are his teammates, Uchiha Shisui and Shizune.

"Good morning."

Hatake Kakashi put away his short sword and said.

"Kakashi-senpai is really hardworking."

Uchiha Shisui praised.

"nothing."

Hatake Kakashi shook his head and said, "I just don't want to waste time."

"Then do you know that a big thing happened in Konoha Village last night?"

Asuma Sarutobi asked mysteriously.

"what?"

Hatake Kakashi was stunned for a moment and said, "I went to bed early last night."

Although Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo is very famous, he is not a ninja after all, and is not as well-informed as the Hyuga and Uchiha.

"My old man has retired, and now Lady Tsunade is the Hokage."

There's some pity for Asuma Sarutobi, but not a lot.

Because it was natural for Tsunade to become Hokage, he also expected it.

As for what Hanekawa did secretly last night, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not tell him, but only said that Hanekawa killed Danzo Shimura who wanted to attack the daimyo.

"That's it."

Hatake Kakashi nodded slightly.

He didn't feel surprised at all.

After all, Tsunade is the popular choice.

"Why don't you react?"

Asuma Sarutobi pumped his fist and asked, "Don't you have any ideas?"

"What ideas can I have?"

Hatake Kakashi asked in confusion.

"After the Fourth Hokage, there will be the Fifth Hokage!"

Asuma Sarutobi said excitedly, "The Fifth Hokage will definitely be born among us!"

"so what?"

Hatake Kakashi asked calmly, "Can you beat Hanekawa?"

"This... who can tell what will happen in the future? Everything is possible!"

Sarutobi Asuma said stubbornly.

Suddenly footsteps were heard.

"Minato-sensei."

Hatake Kakashi looked at Namikaze Minato who had a smile on his face.

Behind him, followed Yamato.

Hatake Kakashi had never seen him before, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances at him out of curiosity.

"Minato-senpai."

Asuma Sarutobi, Shisui Uchiha and others hurriedly greeted them.

At the same time, they also noticed Yamato's lifeless face and felt strange.

"This is Yamato."

Namikaze Minato took the initiative to introduce, "He's my new student."

Yesterday he arranged a new residence for Yamato and took him to familiarize himself with the environment.

Therefore, they have never met Hatake Kakashi and Might Guy.

"Why haven't I seen him?"

Asuma Sarutobi looked him over and asked, "Didn't he go to school?"

"He was from the Root, so he never went to ninja school."

Namikaze Minato explained.

"No wonder."

Asuma Sarutobi remembered that Hanekawa killed Danzo Shimura last night.

He was shocked when he first heard it, but soon he felt that the killing was a pleasure.

"Is it so lively today?"

Hatake Sakumo appeared at the door and was a little surprised when he saw so many people.

"Sakumo-sensei, we're talking about what happened last night."

Asuma Sarutobi reiterated the story of Tsunade succeeding as Hokage and Hanekawa killing Danzo Shimura.

"It's really... unexpected."

Hatake Sakumo was stunned for a moment and said.

There's nothing surprising about Tsunade becoming Hokage.

But he did not expect Hanekawa to kill Danzo Shimura.

But it's a good thing that he died.

Hatake Sakumo, or most ninjas, don't like Danzo Shimura and his Root.

The actions of the Anbu are still within the rules.

But the roots have no rules at all, they do whatever they want, which is disgusting.

Konoha Knowledge Bookstore.

Hanekawa couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He experienced the troubles of being too famous.

Everyone he met on the street greeted him enthusiastically, and some even chased him for autographs. It was really scary.

"Number...Hanekawa-sama."

When Tsuchiya saw Hanekawa, his expression changed several times, and finally he greeted him very respectfully.

Although he was in Konoha Village, he also learned that all the high-level officials of Kumogakure Village had been captured.

And the key person who made this happen was none other than Hanekawa.

Tsuchiya originally wanted to escape, but just as he was about to act, he was found by Anbu ninja.

Fortunately, the Anbu ninja did not make things difficult for him, but just told him to wait for Hanekawa to arrive.

"I won't say anything more. Just focus on being a bookstore owner from now on."

Hanekawa said calmly.

"Yes."

Tuqiao sighed inwardly and agreed.

Between losing his life and returning to the Hidden Cloud Village, he still knew which was more important.

"I'm going to erase some of your memory just in case."

Hanekawa said without giving any room for argument.

"Yes."

Tuqiao nodded resignedly.

"So be it."

Hanekawa smiled and said, "As for my friend Lei Huojian's novel, you are still responsible for it."

He could kill Dobashi, but there was no need.

After so long, it has been a pleasure working with him, and he is too lazy to look for someone else.

More importantly, with his current identity and status, the claim that he was a spy from the Hidden Cloud Village could only be a slander.

Even if Tsuchihashi reported him, who could he report to? Tsunade? Then he would have to meet Hanekawa, the Hokage's secretary, first.

This means that someone in this court is suing me.

Moreover, Tuqiao's related memories will be erased.

Hanekawa left the Konoha Knowledge Bookstore and walked towards the Hokage Building.

It was not even nine o'clock yet, but the meeting room in the Hokage Building was already filled with jonin.

Since Tsunade hadn't arrived yet, they couldn't help but start talking.

The topic of conversation was naturally what happened last night.

Most people were very excited. With the death of Shimura Danzo, there was one less sword hanging over their heads.

And Tsunade succeeded Sarutobi Hiruzen as Hokage, which meant that some people would be promoted to great heights.

Some people are happy but others are sad.

For example, the two Hokage advisors.

Because neither Tsunade nor Hanekawa gets along well with them.

The days ahead will definitely be difficult.

Hokage's office.

Hanekawa looked around and took stock.

"It's not your first time here."

Tsunade looked up from where she was sitting at the Hokage's desk and asked, "Why are you so curious?"

"Because it's the teacher's office now, it's naturally different."

Hanekawa smiled and asked, "Teacher, how do you feel sitting in that chair?"

"I don't feel anything."

Tsunade stood up and casually said, "You can sit if you want."

Without any hesitation, Hanekawa walked forward and sat in the Hokage chair.

He touched his chin and said, "It's not big enough, and it's not soft enough. You can consider changing it."

"What are you talking about?"

Tsunade kicked him when she heard that, "Being a Hokage isn't for you to enjoy."

"If I can't enjoy myself as a Hokage, then I have been in vain, right?"

Hanekawa was talking nonsense in a serious tone.

"Shut up!"

Tsunade rolled her eyes and said, "What do you mean you're in vain? I'm the Hokage."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Hanekawa made way for him and said, "Please take a seat."

"You should still call me teacher."

Tsunade grumbled, "Calling me Hokage-sama sounds weird."
