The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

Chapter 159 The 5th Hokage

"From today on, I will protect Konoha as the Fifth Hokage!"

On the upper platform of the Hokage Building, Tsunade, clad in her divine robe, exuded an imposing air. She clenched her right fist and slammed it skyward, her momentum surging. The rising sun shone on Tsunade, as if she were bathed in a layer of holy light.

It can be said that the inertia of the plot is still very large. Even though Hyuga Feng caused a lot of chaos and made Konoha much more chaotic than in the plot, Jiraiya and Naruto still successfully brought Tsunade back to Konoha to succeed as the Fifth Hokage, just like in the original work.

"Lord the Fifth Hokage!"

"Tsunade-sama!"

"Sir, I'm going to give you a monkey!"

The moment Tsunade finished speaking, everyone in the audience, from the villagers of Konoha to the civilian ninjas, cheered excitedly. Even many family ninjas were so excited that they couldn't help but rush to the platform to express their loyalty to the broad-minded Fifth Hokage.

Tsunade is known as one of the Three Great Ninjas of Konoha, has the prestige accumulated from years of curing illnesses and saving lives, is the last member of Konoha's founding family, and is the granddaughter of the first Hokage. It's as if she has countless buffs stacked on her, and naturally gains the support of the villagers of Konoha.

In addition, Tsunade also has the anticipation of the Konoha villagers for the new Hokage because of the darkness exposed by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mito Kado En in recent years.

There are not many pure fools in Konoha. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen and others gave seemingly reasonable explanations every time, it is hard to believe that the things that were exposed time and time again were all framed by spies and enemies.

After all, empty words are much less credible than detailed photos and videos. With the support of these predecessors, Tsunade is now the white moonlight in the eyes of the villagers of Konoha!

"As expected, Tsunade is more suitable to be Hokage!"

Jiraiya stood behind Tsunade, his eyes hazy, his mouth tutting in admiration. Although his face was serious, Jiraiya's occasional glances at Tsunade's huge conscience, which was shaking due to her waving arms, completely exposed his inner thoughts.

Tsunade, who was speaking at the front, had a vein bulging on her forehead as she barely suppressed the urge to attack during the Hokage succession ceremony. In reality, she had already sensed the burning gaze, and she had always been wary of Jiraiya's penchant for collecting material!

Compared to Jiraiya's deeply relieved mood, the feelings of the other people on the platform were much more complicated.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Tsunade with a mixture of relief and loss, his emotions a blur. He had been a paralyzed invalid, bedridden, and it was Tsunade who healed him after returning to the village. However, his aging body had been unable to recover from this severe injury. Now, he was at best an elite jonin, unable to fight for long periods of time, and truly could not bear the responsibility of Hokage.

Suppressing the complex emotions of losing everything in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled brightly. No matter what, this was a good disciple he had taught.

Compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo's eyes were full of disgust and anger when he looked at Tsunade!

He had barely even warmed up to the Hokage's chair when Tsunade came back and snatched his place away. It was truly infuriating. How could a young girl like you, who had been away from the village all year, frequented casinos for years, and disrespected her elders, possibly hold onto the position of Hokage?

In today's Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen is old and weak, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu are reluctant to sacrifice themselves for great things and forget their principles for small gains, Jiraiya is wandering around and obsessed with women, and Tsunade is young and inexperienced. It is obvious that he is the most suitable person to be Hokage, but everyone seems to be blind and turns a blind eye!

How could Tsunade possibly guess the complicated psychological activities of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo? She briefly met with the villagers of Konoha, announced the news of taking over as Hokage, and then quickly ended the ceremony and led the team back to the Hokage's office to begin further handover work.

boom!

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen's good disciple Tsunade punched the desk, breaking it into two pieces. The documents on the desk fell to the ground in the smoke and dust.

This sudden action startled Sarutobi Hiruzen and stopped him from instinctively walking down from the Hokage's chair.

"What have you old guys done all these years!"

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others could say anything, Tsunade started roaring in a rage.

"Konoha used to be so prosperous, how did it become like this in your hands?

Also, how many people were there originally in the Anbu, and how many are there now?"

Tsunade had not been back in Konoha for long. She only had time to go to Konoha Hospital to treat Sarutobi Hiruzen and some seriously ill patients. Then she got a preliminary understanding of Konoha's situation and hurried to attend the Hokage succession ceremony.

At the ceremony just now, although there were many people cheering and shouting, Tsunade also noticed the indifference and suspicion in many people's eyes, which made Tsunade very depressed and angry.

How could the harmonious Konoha founded by my grandfather degenerate into what it is now!

Tsunade is not someone who can suppress her anger for long. She suppressed her anger in public, but after returning to the office and taking a look at the village information, her anger rebounded doubly. She directly attacked her teacher and other old men!

"Tsunade, don't get excited. Sarutobi-sensei also has his own difficulties..."

"what!"

Facing the furious Tsunade, Jiraiya carefully tried to persuade her, but was then hit in the abdomen with a fierce punch. He fell to his knees on the floor, holding his stomach in pain.

Seeing this, Mizutomon En and Utane Koharu frowned. Even though they had expected Tsunade's hot temper, this behavior of completely disrespecting her elders still made them uncomfortable.

Are you planning to throw your old bones away just after becoming Hokage?

Danzo stabbed the floor with his cane and said angrily, "You actually hit me in the Hokage's office, Tsunade, you are so presumptuous!"

He was very disdainful of Tsunade in his heart. She was indeed a young girl who could not understand the hard work of his ancestors for Konoha Village.

"Is what I did as outrageous as what you did in the village?"

Tsunade looked around with an arrogant look, facing the momentum of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others alone, and was not at all inferior to them.

"Tsunade, listen to me..."

Seeing that his disciple's attitude was becoming increasingly tough, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to step forward, ready to use his status as a teacher to forcibly suppress Tsunade.

Next, Sarutobi Hiruzen used all his eloquence to start talking about the internal and external difficulties Konoha was facing, how many hidden enemies there were, and how evil the Uchiha and Hyuga families were, explaining his helplessness bit by bit.

When it came to the emotional part, Hiruzen felt so wronged that he almost cried.

But his words could not make Tsunade empathize. In the following day, the Hokage's office was often filled with the sound of banging and breaking and the angry curses of the new Hokage Tsunade.

Later, insiders revealed that four desks were replaced in the Hokage's office that day!
