The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

"Agent Hokage?"

Hearing Hashirama's words, Hanzo suddenly raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, during the period when he was not in the village, the village actually created an acting Hokage?

But it makes sense to think about it. Due to the sudden disappearance of Hanzo, the Hokage, without warning, there will inevitably be turmoil within Konoha.

Choosing an acting Hokage is already the best choice, and with Hashirama's prestige, it can also ensure that Konoha will not be in chaos like Tsunade's coma in the original time and space.

However, there are naturally hidden dangers to this.

As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country. This is also true in the ninja village of Konoha.

The Senju clan is also a huge political force in Konoha, and there are countless small and medium-sized ninja clans and scattered ninjas who rely on it.

After Hashirama became the acting Hokage of Konoha, perhaps Hashirama himself did not intend it, but the hidden benefits he brought to these people were real.

Hashirama doesn't care about power, but that doesn't mean that other members of the Senju Clan and others who are attached to the Senju Clan don't care about these benefits.

Hanzo glanced over, and Senju Takeumaoka and Hashirama's wife Uzumaki Mito frowned. On the contrary, Senju Tobirama, who had been pushing for Hashirama to succeed Hokage, had no reaction at this moment.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the scene suddenly became awkward, the advisor next to him, Kurama Canglan, was the first to speak, breaking the deadlock.

"What Hashirama-sama said makes sense. When we selected Hashirama-sama as the acting Hokage, we agreed that as soon as Hokage-sama returns, Hashirama-sama will step down from his post. Now it is time to fulfill the original agreement."

With Kurama Canglan leading the charge, many elders under the Shimada clan no longer hesitated and immediately followed up with the output.

"Exactly."

"What Elder Cang Lan said makes sense. Since you all made this agreement at the beginning, you should fulfill it now."

"I think so too."

"..."

The Hokage's office became lively for a while. It can even be said that these elders who are close to the Shimada clan have not been so active since Hanzo disappeared.

When Hashirama was in charge of Konoha, although these elders who were close to the Shimada clan did not cause any obstacles for Hashirama, they were indeed not as active as they were during the Hanzo period.

Or it can be said that because of Hanzo's disappearance, these elders were marginalized to the fringes of the higher-ups.

This is not something Hashirama did intentionally, but because they have no backer, they naturally lose a bit of confidence in speaking, and the elders who are close to the Senju clan will naturally take over the right to speak that they have lost without ceremony.

Seeing that the momentum in the Hokage's office was one-sided, those senior officials close to the Senju clan couldn't sit still.

Mito was the first to speak: "That's true, but..."

However, before Mito could finish her words, Tobirama on the side suddenly interrupted her: "Big brother is right. Big brother will step down after the return of Hokage. This was the agreement made by all of us here. Now

Of course there is no reason to break your promise."

Tobirama's sudden on-the-spot defection directly threw the senior officials close to the Senju clan into chaos.

They never expected that as the second-largest person in their group, Tobirama had no intention of helping Hashirama at all.

"Tobirama, you..."

Senju Takeumao looked at Tobirama, as if he wanted to say something, but Tobirama just shook his head at him and tilted his head towards Hashirama.

Senju Takeoka was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hashirama, only to see that Hashirama was pouting with his face expressionless.

Seeing this, Senju Takeoka's heart skipped a beat. As the oldest elder of the Senju clan, Senju Takeoka could be said to have watched Hashirama grow up.

He knew very well what Hashirama's look meant - it represented Hashirama's dissatisfaction.

It was obvious that they who were waving flags did not want to give up, but Hashirama, the real core mission, had no intention of competing with Hanzo.

It was only at this moment that Hashirama realized that even though he said it beautifully at the beginning, in fact, the senior people under the Senju clan had no intention of letting him really step down from his post from the beginning.

This made Hashirama feel that he had been deceived. From the beginning, Hashirama was really just preparing to take charge of the overall situation while Hanzo was missing. He had never fought before, and used this time to train his team, and even had the idea of ​​becoming the real Hokage.

But now it seems that others around him don't think so.

At this moment, Uzumaki Mito on the other side also saw Hashirama's dissatisfaction, saying that after all, Hashirama is the one who talks about the Senju clan. Now, for their support, Hashirama not only does not appreciate it,

She was even a little dissatisfied. Seeing this, she could only hold back everything she wanted to say.

However, a few of them were silent, and the voices advocating Hashirama's resignation naturally dominated the mainstream.

Hanzo, who had been watching the show from the beginning, saw that the time was almost up, and then he said: "Everyone, while I was away from Konoha, Hashirama took charge of the overall situation and his contribution to Konoha is unquestionable.

."

Hearing this, Hashirama just shook his head and said: "What the hell, Hanzo, as a member of Konoha, these are what I should do."

"Whether you should do it or not, you can't erase your contribution to Konoha." Hanzo shook his head and smiled.

"You are the most suitable Hokage for Konoha. After all, me being the acting Hokage is just a temporary measure. Now that you are back, it is best for you to be the Hokage." Hashirama looked quite stubborn at the moment.

Seeing this, Senju Takeoka and Uzumaki Mito could only sigh secretly. As soon as Hashirama said these words, he had blocked his escape route.

It can be said that Hanzo's reset is a foregone conclusion.

As expected, Hanzo said: "Since you are still willing to trust me as always, then I will definitely not let you down.

The ninja world is currently in troubled times, and Madara is still eyeing the remaining tailed beasts. I won't pursue the past matters too much, but in the future, I hope that the elders can go all out to help the village tide over the difficulties."

"...Yes, Hokage-sama."

By this time, even the most unwilling person knows that there is no room for turning things around.

Of course, Senju Takemaru and Uzumaki Mito also breathed a sigh of relief.

What Hanzo meant by what he said just now was actually to say that during the period of his disappearance, there was a power struggle within Konoha, and he would not pursue it at all. However, if someone dared to cross the gun in the future, then Hanzo would not be polite.

At the same time, Hanzo also set the main tone of Konoha for the next period of time - to crush Uchiha Madara's conspiracy.

With Hashirama's concession, no one could oppose Hanzo, so the next moment, all the elders in the Hokage's office saluted Hanzo and said, "Yes, Hokage-sama."
