Konoha Is Going To Collapse, So Let It Collapse. Why Are You Digging My Coffin?
Chapter 51, Who Will Be The Hokage? Doubts, Investigation, The Truth Behind The Decline Of The Senju
A few hours ago.
On the top floor of the Hokage building.
Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura and Jiraiya were gathered on the rooftop, secretly discussing the next candidate.
At first, everything was no different from the original trajectory.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura proposed that Jiraiya be the Fifth Hokage.
But this proposal was finally rejected by Jiraiya decisively.
Then Jiraiya nominated Tsunade, who was also a "Sannin", to succeed the Hokage.
But after hearing Jiraiya's words, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at each other silently, but did not directly agree to Jiraiya's proposal as in the original book.
Mitokado Homura first raised his glasses slightly, covering his somewhat indifferent eyes, and whispered to Jiraiya.
"In terms of qualifications, reputation and strength, the girl is indeed qualified to inherit the Hokage."
"EuJ............
"We cannot allow a person with the defect of "hemophobia" to take on the duties of Hokage."
"This is irresponsible to the village."
After Mitokado Homura finished speaking, Utatane Koharu also spoke up.
"Besides, Tsunade left the village quietly without the village's consent."
"This behavior is almost the same as "rebel ninja"."
"It's just that the village has never pursued it because of her identity.
"Such a person is not suitable to be a Hokage in terms of resume."
The couple sang the same moral high ground, and seemed to want to use these to block Tsunade's possibility of becoming Hokage.
Hearing this, Jiraiya's eyes flashed with a hint of anger.
In terms of emotion and reason, he felt that Tsunade should be the Hokage.
But Jiraiya is not good at sophistry.
But in front of the two old foxes Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, Jiraiya's eloquence and political skills are almost completely inadequate.
In a hurry, Jiraiya instinctively started to argue.
"Tsunade is the granddaughter of Shodai and the disciple of the Third Generation teacher."
"In terms of identity, she is the direct relative of the Hokage and the only one who is qualified to be the Hokage at this stage."
"You exclude Tsunade. Do you want to leave the position of Hokage vacant?"
"Zeit................
"You two want to be the Hokage?"
Jiraiya glanced coldly at Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura on the opposite side.
While speaking, he first brought up Tsunade's background and identity, and then deliberately provoked Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura to make excuses, trying to make the two give in.
Little did he know that his little trick had already been seen through by Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
The two old foxes looked at each other, and Mitokado Homura chuckled indifferently.
"Jiraiya, you don't need to provoke us."
"No matter what, the two of us old bones will not have any desire for the position of Hokage. "
After saying that, Suigetsumon looked at Jiraiya deeply.
After all, being a Hokage requires standing in front of the stage and facing all kinds of dangers. How can Mito and Utatane be free and easy now?
Not only do they hold great power, but they also don't have to bear any responsibility.
Immediately, Utatane Koharu added.
"I have already said it just now, because of Tsunade's identity."
"The village did not pursue her leaving without saying goodbye, which is already a mercy outside the law.
"She has made no contribution to the village in the past ten years. What qualifications does she have to come back to be Hokage now?"
After saying that, Utatane Koharu showed a haughty look again, not caring about Tsunade's background at all.
What about the First Generation? What about the Second Generation?
When a person dies, it's like a light goes out.
Take you seriously and call you a "legend"
If you don't take you seriously, you are just a "story".
Besides, the Senju clan today is no longer the Senju clan of the past.
Haven't you heard the saying that a fallen phoenix is no better than a chicken?
Except for the Senju Ryujian who suddenly appeared.
Among the declining Senju, there is no one worthy of Koharu and Mitokado Homura's fear.
When they think of Senju Ryuuma,
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura's eyes condensed, and they were more determined not to let Tsunade become Hokage.
Now, Jiraiya was also angry.
"This is not okay, that is not okay!"
"Who do you want to be Hokage?"
"Is it Danzo?!"
"I tell you, as long as I am here, that kind of guy will never be able to become Hokage!"
Jiraiya said angrily to Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura in a deep voice, and there was a hint of coldness and threat in his words.
In Jiraiya's eyes, it was Danzo who defected from his good friend Orochimaru.
And in the death of the Third Generation, Danzo also played an unclear role.
Therefore, it is natural that Jiraiya is full of resentment towards Danzo.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Jiraiya's words, Mitokado Homura's expression was still very calm.
"Danzo will not be Hokage, just like the two of us."
"You will be satisfied with the candidate for Hokage we proposed."
"After all, he is from the same family as you "Sannin".
Mitokado Homura first passed Danzo with one sentence, and then he smiled mysteriously.
Just when Jiraiya was confused, Utatane Koharu revealed the final answer.
"Who said that Tsunade is the only blood relative of Hokage?"
"Jiraiya, have you forgotten?"
"We have another candidate———— Sarutobi Asuma!"
Hearing this, Jiraiya's face sank, and he stopped talking, but turned to thinking silently.
After thinking for a long time, Jiraiya asked a question.
"Do you think Asuma is really capable of protecting Konoha?"
His words almost told the two that Asuma's strength is not at the level of "shadow".
But Mitokado Homura was not unprepared. He simply patted his chest and said what he had prepared long ago.
"We have thought about this issue."
"We can summon Tsunade back to the village."
"............"
"We still have that Senju Ryuuma guy."
After Mitokado Homura finished speaking, Utatane Koharu also quickly echoed with a solemn oath.
"The village has two "Kage-level" guardians, and you can also continue your career."
"With the support of the two old bones, Asuma will definitely be Hokage!"
Looking at the two confident old guys, Jiraiya's heart was also shaken.
Politics is the art of compromise.
Just as the two old guys said.
As the son of the Third Generation, Asuma is indeed from the same family as Jiraiya, and the relationship between the two is not bad.
Although Asuma becoming Hokage is not the best result for Jiraiya, it is not unacceptable.
With the identity of "the son of the Third Generation", it is "reasonable" for Asuma to inherit the Hokage.
After all, kings, princes, generals and ministers are born with the same talent.
I am a Hokage, why can't I be a Hokage?
And Asuma also had the experience of "public gilding" in the past.
With the title of "Twelve Guardian Ninjas", he is also well-known in the ninja world.
If Konoha builds momentum and praises Asuma, it will be a big deal.
Maybe it can really make "Ashima" have "Kage-level" strength.
In addition, Konoha now has Senju Ryuuma, a "top fighter", and then trick Tsunade back.
With two real Kage-level strongmen to escort Asuma, there will basically be no big problems.
The more Jiraiya thought about it, the more he felt that the "idea" of these two old guys seemed to be really promising.
After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I agree."
" As for Tsunade, I will ask her to return to the village.
"Besides that, I have another request."
Seeing Jiraiya being so "sensible", the two old guys decided to listen to Jiraiya's needs.
"Please speak.
As long as it's not excessive, Jiraiya can agree to ten thousand requests, not to mention one.
Jiraiya's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I want to take Naruto out for training."
"He is very likely the son of prophecy mentioned by the "Toad Great Sage". "
Hearing this, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura hesitated for a moment.
After all, it is not a trivial matter to go shopping with "nuclear weapons".
But in order to get Jiraiya's support, they finally agreed.
"Okay! We agree!!!"
So, after the "deal was reached".
The next candidate for Konoha's Hokage seemed to be "finalized".
At this moment, no one knew.
Sarutobi Asuma, now transformed into "Sarutobi Ashima", is ready to debut in "Tyrande".
After a while, when Jiraiya left.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were enjoying the breeze at Tiantai Mountain, looking at the scenery under the rooftop with a smug look in their eyes.
Mitokado Homura was the first to speak with a smug look on his face.
" Jiraiya, after all, is still just a young boy."
"He can be easily dealt with. ”
Utatane Koharu's old face also smiled and wrinkled, and he was also satisfied.
"With Jiraiya's support."
"With the support of the ninja clans controlled by us, such as Tenne, Mito, Sarutobi, Nara, Yamanaka, Akamichi, Inuzuka, Aburame..., etc.."
"There will be no obstacles for Asuma to succeed the Hokage."
"At that time, it will be okay to give Asuma some power, after all, he is Hiruzen's son."
"But Konoha is still our Konoha after all. "
After saying that, Utatane Koharu reached out and held Mitokado Homura's hand, and the two couldn't help but smile at each other.
At this moment, an Anbu ninja suddenly came to the side of the two and reported something to them in a low voice.
In the words, it seemed that Senju Ryuuma had just repelled the invasion of Hoshigaki Kisame and Uchiha Itachi.
After hearing this, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu's faces changed.
After waving his hand to repel the Anbu, Mitokado Homura said to Utatane Koharu with a serious face.
"These wealthy ninja clans are indeed a disaster."
"Senju Ryuuma just came to Konoha and stirred up so many things."
"It's right not to let Tsunade be Hokage. ”
“Otherwise, with the help of this Senju Ryuuma, Senju Mori may really rise again!”
Hearing this, Utatane Koharu nodded in agreement.
Originally, in the hearts of the two, they were not opposed to the proposal of Tsunade to serve as Hokage.
After all, Tsunade has been away from Konoha for too long, and even within Konoha, he still has many supporters gained during World War II.
But Tsunade alone can't make any waves after all.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura are fully capable of sidelining Tsunade and then being a "behind-the-scenes emperor" in peace and stability.
In fact, the two did the same in the original book.
After Tsunade succeeded as Hokage, the two casually released some trivial matters to trip up Tsunade, making Tsunade dizzy with mundane affairs.
But they never delegated the real power back to Tsunade.
As a result, Tsunade, as the Fifth Hokage, was personally responsible for giving Genin issued a ridiculous task of "finding cats and catching mice".
Until later, Pein invaded Konoha.
Tsunade was still at the forefront.
These two old guys have been enjoying the fruits of their labor.
But things are different now.
With the appearance of Senju Ryuuma, the two of them could no longer accept Tsunade's succession as Hokage.
Therefore, they were forced to release the "Hokage Seed" cultivated by "Konoha F4" in advance - Sarutobi Asuma.
Asuma, the "spare tire", was appointed as Hokage.
In fact, when the Third Generation Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power, the plan of these old guys was to push Asuma to the position of Fifth Hokage.
Looking at Asuma's resume.
Whether he was the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas" beside the daimyo or the squad leader of the "Ino-Shika-Chō" team.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was laying the foundation for him to succeed the Hokage in the future.
But unfortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen died in a hurry in the original work.
The road was not paved, so it was washed.
That's why Asuma failed to become Hokage.
It seemed that when the word "Senju" was mentioned, Mitokado Homura suddenly thought of something, and then said with a serious face.
"Is there another old thing in the Senju family that has not been "dealt with"?"
Hearing this, Utatane Koharu seemed to be called up to the meeting and responded with a frown.
"There is this incident......"
"Before, I thought he was too old and would not live for many years.'
"So I just left it alone."
"Who knew that this old man is still alive now......"
After saying this, Mitokado Homura's face changed completely, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"Before, I was lucky enough to forget about him."
"Now that I remember, I must get rid of this old guy quickly!"
Hearing this, Utatane Koharu narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and revealed a hint of murderous intent.
"That's right, "that incident" cannot be exposed for the time being."
"I think we should just find a reason to drive Senju Ryuken out of the village. ”
“Wait until Asuma has secured the position of Hokage, then let him come back!”
“When the dust settles, even if he knows everything, he can’t make any waves!”
With just a few words, a brand new conspiracy was brewed by the two corrupt old guys.
The sun sets.
When Senju Ryuuma walked out of the Senju house, his face was completely replaced by solemnity.
Senju Ryuuma thought that the decline of Senju was the result of “survival of the fittest” and “one whale falls and all things come to life”.
But after Senju Bansuke’s narration, he found that it was not that simple.
Everything seems to have a hidden story!!
But Senju Bansuke is too old.
Bansuke can’t help but talk without a beginning or an end, and forgets three sentences after saying one sentence, and his words are a bit upside down.
It doesn’t seem to be very credible.
If it was just like this, Senju Ryuuma might not care too much.
But Senju Ryuuma found another suspicious point.
If it is said that Wang Shouzhu is old and confused.
The rest of these “ "Senju elders", the youngest of whom is less than 60 years old.
But each of them has a dull face, all of them have symptoms of late-stage Alzheimer's disease, and they can't even speak a complete sentence.
It's reasonable for one or two of a group of elderly people to have "Alzheimer's disease", but what does it mean if all of them have this symptom?
I've never heard that Alzheimer's disease can be contagious?
So Senju Ryuuma concluded that there must be something wrong!
In this way, Senju Bansuke's muddled words have some credibility.
Although Bansuke's words are upside down and have no beginning or end, Ryuuma still summarized some general meanings from his words.
First, the decline of the Senju clan is not due to "integration into Konoha" or "one whale falls and all things come to life".
Second, the decline of the Senju clan is due to human interference.
Third, and most importantly, someone in the Senju clan seems to be "crazy".
But who is crazy, why is he crazy, and what impact does it bring.
Because the language of Senju Bansuke is too confusing, Senju Ryuuma couldn't really guess.
But since he had already discovered the clues, Senju Ryuuma also figured out a way to get the truth.
The one who tied the bell must untie it.
Only the Senju people can explain the affairs of the Senju clan.
And now, besides Senju Ryuuma, there is only one member left in the Senju clan, and that is————Tsunade!
