Chapter 465 Tsunade Returns to the Village!

Konoha has never been the Konoha of the third generation, but the Konoha of all Konoha ninjas.

If the ninja army is lost, will the Sarutobi clan dare to confront the Uchiha clan head-on?

This is simply a fantasy!

Although the Uchiha clan has always been fighting among themselves, the strongest has always been respected since the Warring States Period.

If Xiao hadn't awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and had a pupil technique that got stronger with each passing day, he wouldn't have been able to kill the elders and councilors at will.

I'm afraid that once this word gets out, the entire Konoha Village will laugh from ear to ear because of this joke.

Not to mention the Sarutobi clan, even if they include the two major advisory families - the Tenden clan and the Mitomon clan, there is no way they can defeat the Uchiha clan.

In the end, under the constant attacks of the Uchiha clan, the third generation and the two elders had no choice but to abdicate in order to protect the clan.

If they step down, they can still retain their last remaining reputation. If they are kicked out by the masses, their reputation will be ruined.

However, after the Sandaime and others abdicated, another embarrassing problem emerged: the entire Konoha Village could not find a suitable person to serve as Hokage.

The prime generation is qualified as a Sannin, Orochimaru defected, Jiraiya is unwilling to take this responsibility, Tsunade's whereabouts are unknown,

Among the younger generation, Kakashi, Kai, Asuma and others are not strong enough to be qualified, and they do not have enough reputation to succeed as Hokage.

The geniuses at the next level range from just a few years old to teenagers, but the famous ones are all from the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Izumi and others were not considered at all.

The Uchiha clan had just ousted the third generation, and it was obviously not in line with the will of fire to elect one of them to be the Hokage at this time.

I'm talking about the major clan ninjas in Konoha being either too weak or not prestigious enough.

The only ones who are truly competitive are Hinata Hizashi, the head of the Hyuga family, and Akimichi Kazuka in Shika Inocho.

As the other pupil family in Konoha besides Uchiha, the Hyuga clan's basic strength is not worse than that of Uchiha, but it is far behind in terms of high-end strength.

Akimichi Qufeng and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and others are both disciples of the Second Hokage, so they obviously have a good foundation.

But the problem is that he is about the same age as the third generation and has already entered old age. Even if he becomes Hokage, he cannot convince Uchiha Xiao.

As for the other ninjas, they were too weak to even mention their names.

After such calculations, everyone suddenly realized that Konoha Village could not find a suitable candidate to serve as the Fifth Hokage for a while.

At this time, the people of Konoha truly realized how corrupt the rule of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was.

The once glorious Golden Age of Konoha is now dead and running.

Under the leadership of Konoha F4 headed by the third generation, Konoha Village has declined to such an extent.

The big tree of Konoha has been sucked out of the nutrients of the entire tree by these four dead leaves, and has declined to the point where almost no green leaves are born.

Without new buds, a big tree cannot produce new leaves to protect it from the wind and rain;

Without the sacrifice of fallen leaves, the fire is about to burn out, and there will no longer be light to illuminate the village.

The great tree of Konoha is about to collapse, and the will of fire is about to be extinguished.

At this moment, it was Uchiha Xiao who became the only suitable Hokage candidate in Konoha Village.

In terms of character, strength, and morality, he was nearly perfect.

However, the Leaf Village did not dare to let Uchiha Xiao become Hokage for the simple reason that he was an extreme clansman.

Ever since he was in school, Uchiha Xiao has been preaching that "Uchiha is the best in the world" and treating others as scum.

If such a person is allowed to serve as Hokage, then other clans and ninjas in Konoha will have a way to survive. Even if Hizu is allowed to take over, it is impossible for Uchiha Xiao to take over.

Therefore, although Uchiha Xiao has a very high voice among the lower-level ninjas, the top management of Konoha, major families, and jounin classes all turn a blind eye to Xiao and will never agree to him becoming Hokage.

…

…

When everyone looked at the almost withered tree of Konoha, the two elders of Konoha - Koharu Koharu and Mito Kadeni felt very proud.

In their opinion, Konoha would not be able to function at all without them.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen shed tears at this time, and he realized that he had made a mistake.

He has been immersed in power, but he has forgotten that no matter how they control Konoha and eliminate dissidents,

But eventually there will be a day when Konoha grows old. If Konoha does not have a new generation of successors to continue, how will Konoha survive in the cruel ninja world.

Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to take action and immediately sent all idle members out of the village to find traces of Tsunade and Jiraiya.

Nowadays, the only heirs in Konoha who can take charge are the two of them.

They shoulder the important responsibility of ensuring the future stability of Konoha and the continuation of the Will of Fire.

As the largest extraordinary military group in the ninja world, Konoha has thousands of active ninjas, and countless intelligence and offline members who are not active.

It only takes a day or two at most to find a person's whereabouts.

However, when Konoha's ANBU brought the drunken Tsunade back to Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became extremely gloomy, but he had no choice now.

He then had a long conversation alone with Tsunade, the content of which is unknown.

However, what is certain is that Tsunade ascended to the position of Hokage contentedly.

Uchiha Xiao, Hyuga Hiashi and Nara Shikaku, as a political exchange for supporting Tsunade's rise to power, became Konoha's new advisory elders and formed a brand new Konoha F4.

In the 54th year of Konoha, Konoha and Kumogakure ceased war. The Kumogakure delegation attempted to steal the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan and kidnapped the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family, Hyuga Hinata.

However, this plan was discovered in advance by Hyuga Hiashi.

In the battle to recapture Hinata, Hyuga Neji accidentally killed the leader of the Kumogakure delegation.

This incident triggered a strong reaction from the Kumogakure delegation, and they forced Konoha to either hand over the murderer or continue the war.

In the face of the plan proposed by Kumogakure, Tsunade did not flinch and said that she would not tolerate Kumogakure at all.

She resolutely refused to bow to the bastard Raikage and admit defeat. Konoha would not accept any threat of force and was not afraid of any war.

Tsunade's firm stance and true character deeply moved Hiashi.

Konoha is lucky to have such a brave, just and willing to protect the people.

However, Hyuga Hiashi does not want to destroy the hard-earned peace because of the mistakes of the Hyuga clan.

Therefore, he decided to pay for this mistake with his own life and chose to die generously.
