"How did you see this matter, Tsunade?"
Placing the document before Tsunade, the Third Hokage looked at her face, unchanged by the passage of time.
A New Team Leader?
"Don't even think about it. Find someone else—I'm busy."
Tsunade rejected it outright. What a joke. The Medical Department alone had already kept her so busy she was dizzy, and adding ANBU on top of that? They might as well work her to death.
As for White Fang's request, Tsunade was speechless. Couldn't he have done this earlier? Everything was already taking shape, and now he wanted to come pick the fruit?
"Very well. I'll make arrangements."
Of his three disciples, Tsunade was undoubtedly the most suitable for the position. Jiraiya was naturally carefree; making him the ANBU Captain, having him stay in ANBU all day, patrol the village to ensure the safety of the Hokage's Office Building, and carry out special missions—it would be the death of him.
As for Orochimaru, his brilliant disciple, the Third Hokage let out a silent sigh.
But the one giving him the biggest headache was still Tsunade. Since she was unwilling to accept the post, the Third Hokage could only let it go.
"Also, what do you think of White Fang's request?"
The conversation soon returned to White Fang. Now that he had voluntarily resigned as ANBU Captain, he had also submitted another request.
But the request left people speechless. To put it bluntly, White Fang was deliberately lowering himself, and it was somewhat difficult for people to accept.
Originally, the Third Hokage had believed that White Fang's resignation as ANBU Captain was inevitable. Otherwise, it could easily provoke resentment from others.
This incident would always remain a blemish, but White Fang could still shine elsewhere. Who would have thought that he would submit such a baffling request?
"Handle it as you see fit."
Rolling her eyes rather rudely, Tsunade strode away in her high heels. The Third Hokage paid it no mind and silently put away the document.
Could it really have been my words that changed White Fang, preventing him from ending his own life like in the original story?
It seemed this time, the impact had been rather significant. Still, White Fang's death had truly been a loss for Konoha. With his strength, he would certainly have shone brightly in the Third Shinobi World War.
Unfortunately, the position of Hokage was basically out of reach for him now.
After something like this happened, even if the villagers and everyone else gradually forgot it over time, he would have no chance of competing for the position of Hokage. Fortunately, although everyone was criticizing him, it was not some unforgivable atrocity. Given time, everything would slowly fade away.
"I heard our team leader has been changed. Is that true?"
That morning, the three members of Tsunade Class received word from the Hokage Building. Tsunade Class's team leader had been changed. Recently, there had been a lot going on in the Medical Department, and Tsunade was rather busy, so they had no choice but to replace the team leader. That was the official reason!
As for the real reason, it was not something the three members of Tsunade Class could know.
"Yes, but the reason is vague."
Ronglin spread his hands to show that he had no idea. Although his relationship with Tsunade was the best among the three, she had come by that morning only to tell him to keep working hard and not slack off. Then there had been nothing more.
"I wonder what kind of teacher will lead us. Will he be handsome? Will he be tall? Tall guys are the most handsome."
Sakura Haruno could not help but start fantasizing, completely failing to notice that her boyfriend, Shimura Ou, had an incredibly dark expression on his face.
What a lovestruck idiot!
