Volume 1, Chapter 369: Transfer of Power, Hatake Sakumo Puts Forward Conditions
If he really had the stubborn mind of Danzo, he would not have chosen to abdicate in the original work.
Even making Minato a puppet Hokage is not an easy task.
No matter how puppet a Hokage is, as long as he has a sound mind, he will slowly seize his own rights.
Unfortunately, before Minato could show his prowess, the Night of the Nine-Tails arrived.
If Watergate was given a few more years, he would be able to slowly take back some of his power.
At that time, Minato will no longer be a puppet Hokage.
There is no chance that the Third Hokage will ever have a chance to make a comeback.
This also shows that in the original work, the Third Hokage was really determined to abdicate.
Are you against it?
After watching the angry and roaring Danzo in silence for a long time, the Third Hokage said quietly:
"Danzo, I am old, and you are old too. We will all grow old one day, and the responsibility of Konoha will eventually be handed over to the next generation.
Wake up, old man!
As long as Tsunade is determined, Orochimaru has no chance."
"Besides, Orochimaru..."
Turning his back, the Third Hokage walked out of the yard, took a few steps, stopped, and sighed:
“Besides, Orochimaru’s heart is too dark, and I cannot hand over the village to him.
Danzo, I am the Hokage. Just because I don't care about many things doesn't mean I don't know them. I hope you can take care of yourself. Tsunade is not as easy to talk to as I am."
“How could you do this!!!”
"Sarutobi, why do you treat me like this!!"
Danzo was so angry that he tapped the ground hard with his crutch and roared loudly at the back of the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage shook his head slightly and left decisively.
There were still many things waiting for him to deal with in the Hokage's office, and he didn't have time to discuss these with Danzo here.
As for Danzo, the Third Hokage believed that even if Tsunade became the leader, she would not kill Danzo if he tried to stop her.
Of course, the premise is that he stops making trouble.
As for Orochimaru, the Third Hokage could only say sorry silently in his heart.
Regardless of whether Tsunade decides to become the Yondaime or not, he cannot leave the future of the village to Orochimaru.
After returning to the Hokage's office, he smoked for a while until the office was almost filled with smoke, and then the Third Hokage stopped.
"Recently, you should send some more people to Tsunade's place and obey her orders. Remember, any orders. Also, give my seal to Tsunade.
I need to go to the daimyo's mansion immediately to have a meeting with the daimyo."
The war between Konoha and the Mist Village can only be said to be a conflict between the two villages. However, with the joining of the Sand Village, it is equivalent to the outbreak of a new Ninja World War.
The Third Hokage needed to negotiate with the Daimyo in advance. Money and supplies were what were needed for war.
Without these things, the war cannot be fought.
It is not enough to rely solely on Konoha's accumulation in the past two or three years. Sufficient support must be given by the Daimyo Prefecture.
This requires him, as the Hokage, to go to the daimyo's mansion in person to negotiate face to face with the daimyo.
In fact, the Third Hokage could send someone over, but he was not confident in handing over such important matters to others, so he wanted to go there and handle them personally.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Carrying the seal of the Third Hokage, the Anbu ninja went directly to the logistics department.
As long as the seal is in Tsunade's hands, it means that from today on, Tsunade can start to control everything in Konoha.
After the seal was delivered, the Anbu members also reported the Third Hokage's intentions.
Having sobered up a lot, Tsunade looked at the document and said calmly:
"I understand. Put your things down. Also, bring me the employment documents of the Anbu in recent years."
There is no need to question that he is someone with roots in the Anbu.
Even if the Third Hokage knew, he wouldn't care too much.
He didn't want to kill Danzo completely, but Tsunade was different.
Since it is a department directly under the Hokage, it should be clean and not allow any messy hands to get in.
Since the Third Hokage gave her the seal, she has the right to handle these matters.
"Yes, sir."
The people in the Anbu did not dare to hesitate and returned to the Anbu immediately to bring all the information.
The Third Hokage nodded upon learning all this and smiled with satisfaction:
"Maybe it would be good to clean it up."
At least it can give Danzo some peace of mind.
The fact that Tsunade will clean up the Anbu means that she will not directly bypass the Third Hokage to cause trouble for Danzo.
This is a signal that as long as Danzo doesn't make trouble, Tsunade doesn't want to bring up what happened in the past.
The Third Hokage felt relieved that Tsunade didn't let bygones be bygones. Now he could go to the Daimyo's mansion with peace of mind without having to worry about problems arising in the village right after he left.
With Tsunade in charge and the elders assisting, the village will surely be safe.
Even if Tsunade and the Elders do not get along, she must rely on the power of the Elders in a short period of time.
Qianyue was not aware of the undercurrents in the village. He woke up on time at four in the morning, took care of his personal hygiene, put on new clothes, and came to the entrance of the village.
A war would require at least several thousand ninjas to participate.
It was not easy to mobilize thousands of ninjas in just two or three days, so the first batch of ninjas sent out by Konoha was only a thousand people.
Even so, thousands of people gathered at the entrance of the village, and the scale was not small.
"I thought you were going to get some more sleep."
Chitsuki arrived, and Hatake Sakumo, carrying a ninja sword on his back, smiled and made a joke. It seemed that after letting go of something, Hatake Sakumo became a lot more optimistic.
"I'd like to get more sleep, but I'm afraid Tsunade will come and kick down my door."
As God knows, Qianyue certainly hopes to rest for a while longer.
Unfortunately, that's not possible, he needs to rush to the border without stopping.
Thinking of Tsunade's daring character, Hatake Sakumo laughed, and Chitsuki was suddenly embarrassed.
This kind of thing is no joke, Tsunade doesn't care about that mess.
If I say I will kick your door, I will kick your door and catch you even if you are not wearing any clothes.
"senior."
With an awkward smile, Qianyue nodded and greeted Nara Shikashin.
Putting aside his stance, Nara Shikashin is indeed a person worthy of admiration.
Although his reputation is not as great as Hatake Sakumo's, the Ino, Deer, and Chou families will never stand in the open.
Smiling and nodding in response, Nara Shikashin said with emotion:
"I heard about your record in the Coastline Battlefield. You did very well. The only person who could go there alone and cause chaos in a ninja village is you, Yagami Chizuki.
Princess Tsunade was right, you are indeed a genius."
“........”
These are all old memories, and you are still talking about them.
Qianyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"He is the teacher I chose for Kakashi. Without absolute strength, it will definitely not work, right?"
Hatake Sakumo interjected with a smile.
You always refused before, but now Tsunade asks me for help and I put forward a condition, and you still refuse?
"Senior, you......"
"I'm not cut out for that, so I'll leave Kakashi to you."
It’s a peer-to-peer exchange. It’s that direct.
Nara Shikashin looked at the two of them with a smile, he had heard that Qianyue was unwilling to accept disciples, not even those assigned by the Hokage, and was only willing to be the captain.
Hatake Sakumo also refused several times.
But this time it seems there is no escape.
Tsunade invited Hatake Sakumo out without discussing conditions or benefits, but Hatake Sakumo was not an ordinary person after all.
Just because he didn't talk about it doesn't mean he doesn't need it. After all, he still has to save face.
The application for retirement has caused a lot of controversy. It would be embarrassing if there were no conditions.
Asking Qianyue to accept disciples is a better reason.
I have arranged everything for your son. Is it okay for you to help me?
retire?
Even if you retire, you can't come. If not for yourself, you have to consider your son. You must come.
"Senior, you are asking me to slap myself in the face."
Qianyue looked up at the sky in silence.
"Ha ha......."
Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikashin immediately laughed.
