Lurking in Konoha, part-time Hokage

"I'm old. Deciding on the candidate for Hokage early can make Konoha Village more stable."

After looking at Tsunade for a few seconds, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a drag on his pipe and spoke slowly.

"What are you asking me to do?"

Tsunade curled her lips and said, "Shouldn't you ask Danzo this kind of question? He will definitely be happy to answer you."

"You know, Danzo can't be Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in denial without hesitation.

"Then you still indulge him so much?"

Tsunade asked dissatisfied.

"Where there is light, there are shadows, and there are things Danzo needs to do."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, "As long as you have him firmly in your hands, there won't be any big problem."

"You are confident that you can control Danzo, but what about the next generation of Hokage?"

Tsunade said with a serious face, "Once you fail to grasp it, the consequences will be disastrous."

"So it matters who the next Hokage is."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said frankly, "At least not Hatake Sakumo, he can't deal with Danzo."

"It seems that you have known the rumors about Hatake Sakumo for a long time."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes slightly and said.

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt embarrassed.

He was completely unaware, that was impossible.

The Root is not an independent organization, it belongs to the Anbu, and more or less, he can receive relevant news.

"Except for Hatake Sakumo, you three are the only ones qualified to become Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed slightly, changed the subject, and said.

"I'm not interested!"

Tsunade said without thinking.

"Since you're not interested, why do you want to ask about Hatake Sakumo?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "Tsunade, you actually care about Konoha."

"Just because I care about Konoha, it doesn't mean I care about Naruto."

Tsunade said bluntly.

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a few seconds and then said, "I know you are because..."

"Don't mention him!"

Tsunade interrupted him and said.

"You are like this, Orochimaru is like this too."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said.

The death of Rope Tree affected two of his students at once.

"Orochimaru is more suitable than me."

Tsunade was reminded by him and said casually.

"From the perspective of strength and means, this is indeed the case."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused for a moment and asked, "Are you really not going to fight?"

Tsunade opened her mouth, and suddenly thought of Hanekawa, and felt a trace of hesitation in her heart.

"Your advantage is not small."

Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed her expression and continued, "Especially in the Land of Fire, you are more famous than anyone else."

It was Senju Hashirama who ended the Warring States Period and established the system of one country and one village.

Tsunade is his granddaughter, and she is a powerful medical ninja, so the daimyo and nobles of the Fire Country are familiar with her.

She is also the only ninja to be called a princess.

"Who do you want to choose?"

Tsunade looked at him and asked.

"have no idea."

Sarutobi Hiruzen told the truth.

He leans toward Orochimaru and Tsunade.

Who exactly it is has not yet been decided.

As for Namikaze Minato, he is now an ordinary jounin without much influence.

"Then take your time and choose."

Tsunade threw the question back.

"I want to remind you that if you want to fight, you should make plans in advance."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help complaining and said, "Gamble less and do more tasks. Look at you, you haven't done any tasks recently."

He didn't say a word.

Even if there is no fight, Hatake Sakumo cannot be allowed to steal the spotlight.

After all, he is not of the Hokage lineage.

"I'm teaching Hanekawa, so I don't have time."

Tsunade said without blushing or heart beating.

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen twitched his lips and asked, "Speaking of Hanekawa, as a teacher, shouldn't you take him out for training occasionally?"

"He's still young."

Tsunade said in refusal.

"He is a genius. Age is not a problem. His current strength is no worse than a chuunin."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said earnestly, "And it would be too late to wait until the war to gain experience."

"war?"

Tsunade's eyes narrowed and she asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's the information sent back by Minato."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hide anything, "Kumogakure Village purchased a lot more ninja tools and supplies this year than in previous years. Perhaps they are preparing for war."

The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.

In war, logistics is an extremely important part.

Although it cannot be said that Yunyin Village wants to go to war, it does need to be taken precautions before it happens.

"I see."

Tsunade said in a serious tone.

The reason why Rope Tree died was because of his lack of experience on the battlefield, which led to him falling into the detonating charm trap.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

She would never allow Hanekawa to follow in his footsteps.

…

"get out of class is over."

Eiichiro picked up the textbook and left the classroom.

Hanekawa packed up his desk and prepared to go to the place agreed by Uchiha Tiehuo to have a real man battle with him.

"Hanekawa."

Nohara Lin walked up to him.

Behind him were Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha.

"Can we go watch the fight?"

Nohara Lin asked with expectation.

Although Uchiha Tekka is not worth mentioning in Hanekawa's eyes, he is well-known in the school and is the first in the second grade.

"I don't want to, I'm just passing by."

Uchiha Obito muttered.

In fact, he did want to watch, but he didn't want Hanekawa to win, but he wanted Uchiha Tiehuo to win.

"Can."

Hanekawa nodded slightly and said, "Let's go to the third training ground."

Including Yuhi Hong, the five people left the classroom.

"They're coming!"

Uchiha Tiehuo saw Hanekawa from a distance, and his tone seemed eager to try.

"Brother Iron Fire, remember our strategy just now."

Uchiha Shisui warned, "Be careful with his illusions."

"I know."

Uchiha Tiehuo patted his shoulder and said, "It's not that easy to win against me."

"Um."

Uchiha Shisui said nothing more.

He often competed with Uchiha Tiehuo and understood his strength. Even if he was not as good as Hanekawa, he would not lose miserably.

"Let's get started."

Uchiha Tiehuo glanced at Hanekawa and walked to the field.

"Hanekawa! Come on!"

Yuhi Kurenai clenched her fists and shouted loudly.

Nohara Rin was more reserved and did not shout, but also waved.

When Uchiha Obito saw this, he was so angry that he wanted to add fuel to Uchiha's iron fire, but in the end he endured it.

Hatake Kakashi looked calm.

Uchiha Iron Fire couldn't even defeat him, so he was certainly no match for Hanekawa.

The only question is how long he can last.

Fire Release: Fireball Technique!

Uchiha Iron Fire formed a seal with his hands and sprayed a huge fireball from his mouth.

Hanekawa stood still, drew his katana, and slashed with one blow.

The fireball split into two and flew towards both sides.

Fire Release·Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!

Uchiha Iron Fire had already expected this, and he used his new fire escape ninjutsu non-stop.

The flames spit out from his mouth spread out in all directions like impatiens, completely sealing Hanekawa's front, rear, and left sides.

"Win!"

Uchiha Tiehuo said excitedly.

After discussing with Uchiha Shisui, he decided on a long-distance attack strategy.

Use fire escape to prevent Hanekawa from getting close and win.

But in the eyes of the onlookers, Uchiha Iron Fire was competing with a tree.

"..."

Uchiha Shisui started to speak but stopped.

He saw clearly.

After Hanekawa split the fire ball with his sword, he performed the magic and wrong technique.

His sealing speed was too fast, and the fireball blocked his sight for a moment, so Uchiha Tiehuo didn't notice that he was under the illusion.

Uchiha Shisui's expression became extremely solemn.

Instead of forcing Hanekawa to use his full strength, Uchiha Iron Fire made him look even more terrifying.
