Chapter 179 Tsunade returns to the village
There are only three candidates left.
In order of age, it would be Danzo, Jiraiya and Kakashi.
Danzo's promotion to power is in the interests of the Yamanaka family, but may not be in the interests of Ino-Shika-Chou. As I said, Danzo is a man who does not follow the rules and has a tough personality, so the ninja clan is unwilling to deal with him.
Kakashi simply lacked the qualifications, and he had always been the one charging into battle, without having proven his ability to command. The Third Hokage was consciously trying to bring him to a higher level, but unfortunately the time was too short, and now Kakashi was not in the village, so he had wasted a great opportunity to prove himself.
The remaining candidate is Jiraiya.
Zhu, Lu and Die quickly divided the work.
Ino went to Tsunade and asked for her opinion.
Haiyi continues to support Danzo. No matter who becomes the Hokage, intelligence work and Root ninjas cannot be ignored. With the presence of Ino, the Yamanaka family has both open and secret forces, so they are already invincible.
Shikaku immediately left the village to find Kakashi, to test the copy ninja's opinion on the new Hokage. If he had no interest in becoming Hokage, then he would let him support Jiraiya as well.
The fat man Ding Zuo used his good popularity to find Jiraiya.
When he was young, Choza was a teammate of Minato Namikaze for a period of time, and was also very familiar with Minato Namikaze's teacher Jiraiya.
A day later, Kakashi first met Shikaku, and learned that the village was attacked by Orochimaru and the Sand Village. He immediately gave up the mission of finding Danzo, traveled day and night, and led the Anbu ninja back to the village.
There was no need for Shikaku to say much, Kakashi made it clear that he really had no interest in the position of Hokage. If no one else took it, then he would have no choice but to take it. Now that there was a choice in front of him, it would be good for him to continue to be a ninja who charged into battle.
He also followed Ino-Shika-Chou to persuade Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was very determined at first. I won't do it, even if you kill me! My disciple is the fourth generation, and now I am the fifth generation. How embarrassing it is for me? Shikaku is very good at guessing people's hearts. He speaks frankly and uses himself as an example. He says that he is a person with many methods but few ideas, while Jiraiya is just the opposite. Jiraiya is also a person with ideas but no methods. Many times he knows what to do but doesn't know how to do it.
An advisor like Shikaku is best suited to assist a Hokage with Jiraiya's personality.
You are the Hokage, you tell me what you want to do and what goal you want to achieve. As your advisor, I will give you three ideas, and you choose the most suitable one and execute it.
You are not tired and I have no psychological burden, we are a good match.
Shikaku expressed that his ninja talent was insufficient and he wanted to concentrate on being a staff officer. He was willing to step down from the position of leader of the jonin squad. At that time, you could choose Kakashi or Asuma to be the squad leader.
Jiraiya's attitude softened a little and he said that he would seriously consider this issue.
On the same day, the two advisors assigned Ino a B-level mission on behalf of the village, asking her to find Tsunade and bring her back to the village.
Three days later, when they heard that Orochimaru was dead, Danzo didn't even need anyone to look for him. He withdrew his ambush and returned with the Root ninjas on his own.
Danzo is about to explode with rage!
What happened? Orochimaru died, but the third generation didn't die? On the fifth day after the failure of the Konoha collapse plan, Ino ran back and forth and brought Tsunade, Shizune, and the pet pig Tuntun back to Konoha Village.
The injuries of the Third Generation were so severe that the Slug Sage only made his heart beat again. His actual body was too weak. He couldn't even wake up, let alone stand up to handle official business.
The Slug Sage is helpless against the fragile human body and soul. What the Third Generation needs now is medical skills, not Sage Chakra.
Asuma is fine, but Konohamaru has fainted from crying several times.
Ino came with the hopes of the whole village to invite Tsunade back to the village.
It's not like I'm going back to be Hokage, I'm just seeing a patient, it's not difficult.
Tsunade was dissatisfied with the Third Hokage, but not to the extent of watching him die. If she could, she would still save him.
On the way, Ino asked Tsunade bluntly whether she planned to become Hokage.
As expected, Tsunade refused, using her reason of hemophobia again.
The three people and the pig quickly returned to the village. As soon as they arrived, they had no time to sigh and rushed to the Konoha Hospital.
"Please, please save my grandpa!" Outside the ward, Konohamaru cried like a tearful man.
Tsunade was most impatient to see this. Who is your grandfather? There are so many wounded people in Konoha who need treatment. Can I save them all? She grabbed Konohamaru by the collar and threw him out without asking any questions.
Jiraiya, Ino, Shizune, and Tonton all had stern faces, looking as if they were still frightened.
Naruto ran out shouting and screaming to save Konohamaru.
"Thank you for your hard work." Asuma, a filial son, nodded heavily to Ino.
If it weren't for Ino, it wouldn't be that easy to find Tsunade, and it wouldn't be that easy to bring her back. Saving people is like putting out a fire now, and if we delay for two days, the person might be gone.
He was very grateful to Ino.
Ino accepted the thanks and felt at ease. If it weren't for me... Haha, let's go to the banquet now!
She deserves this thanks.
"Are you all doctors? All irrelevant people, get out! Get out!" Tsunade was furious and drove Jiraiya, Asuma and others out of the ward.
Only her two disciples and her pet pig Tuntun stayed behind.
Tsunade's medical skills were indeed very strong. One day later, the Third Hokage finally woke up slowly. Tsunade also cured Gekkou Hayate who had been unconscious in the next room.
He said that the person who tried to kill him was Maki, a senior ninja from the Sand Village, and that there was a conspiracy in the Sand Village.
Ino smiled and signaled to the former VIP customer of the flower shop to have a good rest, saying that your information arrived a little late.
When the Third Hokage opened his eyes, he was surprised. He could still survive after using the Demonic Fuujin. Tsunade didn't know what was going on.
You ask me? How would I know? It was you who used the Demonic Fuujin, not me. After Tsunade treated the Third Hokage, she wanted to leave, but under the pleadings of many acquaintances, she agreed to stay for two more days, at least until the seriously injured were out of danger.
The third generation's soul was missing too much, and his body was aging. Although one of his hands could still move, he would never be able to use ninjutsu in his lifetime.
A person who cannot use ninjutsu is naturally not a ninja, let alone being able to serve as the Hokage of Konoha Village.
The Third Hokage currently has a large number of cronies, plus the support of Asuma, Kurenai, Kakashi and others, his power has not been greatly affected for the time being, but he knows his own business. His organs are failing, his life is counting down, and he cannot use ninjutsu. He must quickly arrange for a successor, the sooner the better, as the time left for him is very short.
He went to see Jiraiya and Tsunade one after another, Jiraiya first and Tsunade later, and had a sincere talk with the two of them, hoping that they would take over the position of Hokage. As expected, both of them refused.
