Volume 1 Chapter 235 The Second Ninja War Ends
What originally belonged to her has now become someone else's. She and Mizuto Menen have almost become figurehead elders. How can she accept this?
Don't say that you are just an elder. Even if you are the Hokage, without power in your hands, you are still a figurehead.
For a specific example, you can refer to Minato, who became the Fourth Hokage but ended up being miserable.
Not to mention other departments, even the Anbu, the department directly under the Hokage, can be transferred at will.
"We have worked together for so many years, and everyone has supported you, but now you kick us out?"
Hearing these increasingly unpleasant words, the Third Hokage suddenly became angry.
"I was able to become Hokage because Sensei appointed me as the Sandaime of the village. It was only because of the support of Mito-sama that I was able to ascend to the position."
It is true that the Third Hokage was able to secure his position as Hokage with the help of people like Utatane Koharu.
But their help is just the icing on the cake.
The ones who really came to the rescue were Tobirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki.
Without their appointment and support, it would be unknown who would become the Hokage.
At that time, the whole village was in chaos and was fighting a war. Many people from the Senju clan jumped out to say that the position of Hokage could not be given to outsiders.
It was only when Uzumaki Mito stepped in that he was able to subdue the other party.
Without Uzumaki Mito, it is still a question whether the Third Hokage can successfully take office.
This is based on the assumption that the Senju clan has already dispersed, otherwise there is no hope at all.
What Utatane Koharu said was completely an attempt to steal the credit.
They believe that the reason why the Third Hokage became Hokage was entirely due to their efforts.
"Koharu."
We can't say any more, otherwise even the medical department might run away. Mito Kado En hurriedly stopped Utane Koharu:
"Huruzen, since you handed over the logistics department to Tsunade, you should at least inform us, right?"
"You still have time to deal with what needs to be dealt with. Tsunade will not check the logistics department until the war is over, but she will start checking the accounts tomorrow, so you should pay attention to it."
Utatane Koharu shut up obediently, and the Third Hokage gradually calmed down:
"Also, don't try to target Yagami Chizuki anymore. I can guarantee that he won't get into the circle."
Not targeting Chiyue, this is the Third Hokage’s final bottom line.
As long as Qianyue doesn't think about getting closer to the center of power.
The accounts will be checked tomorrow, but they will not be reviewed until the war is over. Mitomonen heaved a sigh of relief and pulled Utane Koharu, whose face was dark:
"Koharu, we also need to understand Hiruzen's difficulties. We should deal with what needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."
"I know."
Koharu Utane sat down angrily and did not continue arguing.
Mitomonen and Utane Koharu admitted their mistake and stopped making trouble. The Third Hokage then continued:
"You are my friends, my partners. We have been together since childhood. I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, will not let you suffer any loss.
As long as you don't do similar things again, I can consider handing over the mission department to you."
It is impossible to hand over the Ministry of Finance, so the only thing left is the Mission Department.
The logistics department was taken away by Tsunade, and the Third Hokage decided to hand over the mission department to the elders to appease Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En.
Losing the logistics department and gaining the mission department doesn't seem like such a big loss.
The only one who suffered was Danzo.
But this has nothing to do with them, at least not yet.
If Danzo wanted to cause trouble, he would at most go after the Third Hokage, not them.
As he spoke, the Third Hokage stared at the two people with happy expressions on their faces and said in a deep voice:
"I will not investigate the funds that mysteriously disappeared from the Ministry of Finance a few times before, and I hope you can consider me more in the future."
"?!!!"
The two were shocked, they didn't expect that the Third Hokage already knew about this.
The funds that were diverted from the Ministry of Finance were the result of their cooperation with Danzo.
As for the destination of the funds, they were all given to Danzo to support his development.
The little money given by the Third Hokage could not satisfy Danzo's appetite.
The two looked at each other and quickly assured:
"From now on, we will not provide any help to Danzo without your consent."
It’s okay to have a good relationship, but you can’t mix everything together.
The Third Hokage took advantage of this incident to separate the Elders and Danzo, making it easier to control the Elders and the Root.
Without the support of the Council of Elders, the only one Danzo could rely on was Sarutobi Hiruzen.
“Is this the end?”
When Tsunade returned to the villa, the barbecue had already ended. Chitsuki was the only one left sitting in the yard, with some grilled meat on the table beside her.
As for the others, they had disappeared long ago.
Pushing the plate towards Tsunade, Chitsuki took a sip of juice and looked Tsunade up and down:
"They went to visit Shengshu and brought him some barbecue.
Lying in the hospital all day, Shengshu must be bored. What good thing happened to you? Le's eyes were shining. "
“Yes.”
Tsunade threw the seal away, grabbed the barbecue and started eating.
She was really a little hungry, and she stuffed her mouth with barbecue, but she didn't forget to say:
"Today is really exciting. This is the first time since I was a child that I feel the joy of shopping."
"?"
Qianyue took the thing Tsunade threw to her and took a closer look. Wow, it was a seal.
The Third Hokage couldn't stand Tsunade's shopping spree and was afraid that she would continue to do something excessive, so he was forced to compromise and handed over the logistics department to Tsunade.
Looks like some people are going to be in trouble.
"Mmm, delicious."
"That's right."
Grabbing the remaining barbecue in her hand, Tsunade said vaguely:
"The old man promised that there will be no more actions against you in the future, you can rest assured."
Only a fool would believe that.
Qianyue curled her lips and didn't bother to care.
Even though it was the Elders and Danzo who were causing trouble most of the time, the Third Hokage was not a good person either.
Just listen to what these people say. Anyone who believes them is a fool.
However, after Tsunade took over the logistics department, as long as she did not touch some interests, it was unlikely that she would be targeted again.
The premise is that he will not turn to the Uchiha.
The next day, Tsunade went to the logistics department to check the accounts. When she came back, her face didn't look very good.
From this, it can be seen that Konoha’s current situation is indeed not very good.
It was also fortunate that the Iwagakure and the Kumogakure did not take any action. If these two villages had also joined the war, Konoha would have been in trouble.
Tsunade stayed in the village, while the fighting on the front line was still in full swing.
Even the arrival of the New Year did not affect the continuation of the war.
The good news is that the Sand Village could no longer hold on and was losing ground, having already retreated deep into the Kingdom of Wind.
It seems that the time to surrender is not far away.
Facts have proved that the Sand Village was indeed unable to hold out for long. Even though the Third Kazekage tried every possible means, the Sand Village still became the defeated party.
In the end, he had to raise the white flag to Konoha and choose to surrender.
What followed was a massive negotiation.
During this negotiation, the Council of Elders was very ruthless and dealt a heavy blow to the Sand Village. Faced with Konoha's various conditions, the Sand Village, as the defeated party, was forced to accept them.
The Second Ninja War came to an end.
The Sand Village was severely damaged, and Konoha also suffered heavy losses. The difference was that Konoha recovered faster than the Sand Village.
Hanzo, who wanted to conquer the Land of Iron, was eventually forced to return to the Land of Rain with the intervention of Ohnoki and the Third Raikage.
It is said that there was a little friction between the two sides, and the bad-tempered Third Raikage took action.
No one knows the specific situation. After the negotiations, Hanzo led his men to evacuate.
This made the Third Hokage and the Elders a little unhappy.
When Konoha was trying to persuade us, you, Hanzo, turned against us and started hunting down our people.
Ohnoki and the Third Raikage are here, and you, Hanzo, are taking your people away from the Land of Iron directly. Are you looking down on Konoha?
After the war, Tsunade began to reshuffle the logistics department, replacing some people she disliked or who were unreliable.
