Volume 1, Chapter 558: When did my Senju family’s assets become public property of the village?

Under the leadership of the Third Hokage, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En arrived together, and the three of them went to the Hokage's office to find Tsunade.

From beginning to end, Tsunade never informed them of these things.

The three of them didn't get the news until everything was over.

Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En were almost furious, and the Third Hokage was not much better.

It would be fine if I didn't tell them about ordinary things, but how could I hide such an important thing from them? Is that right?

No matter what, they are the elders of the village, and they should be notified first about such things.

"Do you want to attend the Five Kage Summit on my behalf? Or do you want to negotiate with the Kage of other villages on my behalf?"

Tsunade raised her head, put down the pen in her hand, and asked indifferently.

"Forehead......."

The Third Hokage, who had just looked dissatisfied, suddenly became deflated.

He has retired, and Tsunade is the Fourth Hokage, so she has the right to make her own decisions on these matters.

Is it reasonable if he needs to be involved in everything?

It's definitely inappropriate. People who don't know would think that he was the one who sidelined Tsunade.

"Even though Sarutobi has retired, we haven't. As the elders of the village, we are qualified to participate in village affairs."

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En will not give up so easily.

"Oh!"

Tsunade looked at them with amusement, her eyes were filled with a hint of disdain and sarcasm:

"Then why are you two elders unwilling to accept the task of persuading those families who have not yet cooperated with the Anbu to conduct a census of the number of ninjas?"

This matter has been progressing, and as the pressure continues to increase, most families have compromised.

Just make it public. It’s better to make it public than to be pointed at and treated differently all the time.

The most important thing is that you don’t know if Tsunade will suddenly target you one day.

Up to now, only the Sarutobi, Shimura, Utane, Mito, and Hyuga families are still resisting.

“........”

Koharu Utatane's face turned the color of liver:

"How can I agree to such a thing?

Tsunade, you are trying to shake the foundations of the families!!!"

Oh my god, the situation has escalated directly.

The Third Hokage sighed. He had actually decided to compromise, but he just hadn't made up his mind yet.

Who could have thought that Utane Koharu would speak so exaggeratedly.

This is trouble.

"boom!!!"

As the Third Hokage expected, the desk was broken into pieces in less than three seconds.

A terrifying force burst out, causing the Hokage office building to shake several times, scaring many people.

"Shake the foundation of the family?"

Tsunade was very angry and didn't give Utane Koharu any face. She pointed at her and asked loudly:

"May I ask which family's foundation has been shaken?

What fundamental thing has been shaken?

Is it me, Tsunade, who has seized the interests of these families, or am I the one who has poached people from these families?"

"Tsunade, Koharu didn't mean that."

The Third Hokage stepped out to mediate, hoping that the two would stop arguing.

"And what does she mean?"

Tsunade won't give up easily. It's good enough that I didn't cause you any trouble, but you actually forced your way to the door!

Okay, in that case, let’s turn the table over and settle the accounts openly.

"Shake the foundation of the family? I see you are worried that some shameful things of the family behind you will be discovered?"

Tsunade's voice almost spread throughout the entire Hokage office building.

“When the village was first established, what kind of ninja family was the family behind you?

Over the years, many families have disappeared, but you are developing better and better.

I'm very curious, with just a few kittens, where do you get the resources to grow a family?"

Wow!!!

This was a big deal. Everyone opened their eyes wide and pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

Utane Koharu was so shocked that she was speechless.

She couldn't believe that Tsunade, who had already promised not to turn the page, would bring up these old accounts.

"I know exactly what you did. Since you still want to force me to abdicate, then tomorrow morning, the Anbu will go to your family to start a census. Anyone who refuses to cooperate will be sent to Konoha Prison for a slow investigation."

I give you face, but you don't want it, fine, let's fight!!!

"Are you some kind of good person, Tsunade? How much of the village's belongings did you sell to pay off your debts? How much money did you lose?"

As if being forced into a corner by Tsunade, Utane Koharu also brought out some of Tsunade's bad debts.

Mizuto Menen was dumbfounded, and the Third Hokage was also shocked.

"I sold a lot of things from the village?"

Tsunade pointed at herself with an expression of disbelief.

Because of her gambling habit, in Chitsuki's words, Tsunade is indeed a spendthrift woman.

But the things she sold were all from the Senju clan, that is, the lineage of Senju Hashirama.

Since there are only her and Nawaki left, Tsunade has the right to decide how to deal with these properties.

How to sell and how to spend it is her own business.

But when it came out of Utane Koharu's mouth, it became the village's.

Tsunade seemed to understand something.

She looked back at the Third Hokage with an angry laugh:

"Old man, when did my things become the village's?"

“That’s enough!!!”

The Third Hokage had a terribly gloomy expression on his face, and the look in his eyes was enough to make Utatane Koharu feel like dying.

You really dare to say anything. Tsunade is criticizing you because she has evidence and is qualified.

What right do you have to say bad things about her?

When did other people’s family belongings become the public property of the village?

He is capable of more failure than success.

“Hehehe…”

Tsunade, who was filled with anger, took deep breaths to control her anger and pointed at the door:

"You may leave now. Also, you two must remember to convene a meeting of village elders tomorrow."

Not good, Tsunade is going to use a knife.

The Third Hokage quickly stopped him:

"Tsunade, Koharu said the wrong thing. It's her fault. Regarding the reform of the ninja census, we can sit down and talk slowly. The Shimura and Sarutobi clan will cooperate with you."

In order to clean up the mess for Koharu Utane, the Third Hokage had to compromise.

Too bad Tsunade didn't buy it.

"No, please go away. I'm very busy and don't have time to chat with you."

"Goodbye."

It was obvious that Tsunade's inner anger had reached a limit.

The Senju clan is the biggest contributor to Konoha's current status, or the existence of Konoha, and no one can deny that.

The invincibility of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the skill of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, laid an unbreakable foundation for Konoha step by step.

In order to prevent the Senju clan from becoming too powerful and affecting the authority of the Hokage, the Senju clan did not hesitate to disband the family and even abandoned the surname Senju.

Ultimately, it is for the development of the village.

In order to prevent the Nine-Tails from causing trouble, Uzumaki Mito used himself as the Jinchūriki and sealed the Nine-Tails in his own body.

Many of Tsunade's clansmen and even her parents sacrificed themselves for Konoha.

Not to mention the distant past, just take Tsunade herself as an example. She has made countless contributions to Konoha along the way.

Who could have thought that the Third Hokage and his men had even set their sights on the inheritance in the Senju mansion.

Is this what people are supposed to do?

"Master Chizuki, the Sandaime Hokage and the two elders, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, had a heated argument in the Hokage's office."

“Get lost!!”

Qianyue almost cursed. No one would be in a good mood if they were suddenly woken up from a sound sleep.

Not to mention, the person who came to wake him up came into his room uninvited.
