Sannin Vice-Captain

One day after returning to Konoha, the ninjas all changed into black formal attire. Tobirama Senju was not buried with the ordinary ninjas, but in a place known only to the past Hokage.

After Tobirama Senju was buried, Konoha and the Cloud Ninja also sent Sarutobi and Ei to sign a covenant again. Just as Sarutobi finished signing the treaty and returned to Konoha.

Another shocking news came from the Shinobi World: the Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage had also passed away. With the successive deaths of several of the strongest Kage, the Shinobi World entered a period of peace.

Half a year passed. Since Tianqi returned to Konoha and was promoted to Jonin, he directly began a leisurely life.

Every morning, he would get up and start his morning exercises. After the exercises, he would go to Sarutobi to report, and then go to the mission hall to take on a few simple tasks to maintain his life. After completing the tasks, he would rest for a few days. It could be said that Tianqi had begun to slack off.

Compared to Tianqi, Sarutobi's life was different. Every day, he had to review piles and piles of documents, and he was simply exploding with work.

Tianqi walked on the streets of Konoha, looking at the people coming and going, his face full of smiles, his thoughts returning to before he transmigrated.

In his previous life, he was a NEET who stayed at home every day watching anime and playing games, accomplishing nothing. Looking at his current self, he not only possessed powerful strength, but he also didn't have to worry about his life. Without a mobile phone or computer, every day was fulfilling. This is my life!

Tianqi looked up at the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and the Third Hokage's Iwa Kage heads that were being carved. "I don't know who came up with the idea of erecting a head statue when you become Hokage. It's really like having nothing better to do, as if afraid that others won't know you've become Hokage."

"It must have been that bastard Tobirama Senju who thought of it. No one else is that bored."

Thinking of Tobirama Senju, Tianqi remembered the conversation Uchiha Qingyang had with him half a year ago.

A little more than ten days after the Zhan conflict ended half a year ago, Uchiha Qingyang found Tianqi at the Guard Department and started a one-on-one private conversation.

"Tianqi, now that Tobirama Senju is dead and most of the Senju clan members have been lost, and now that the Uchiha have experts like you and Kagami, we can completely overthrow Sarutobi Hiruzen and become Hokage ourselves. What qualifications does a small family member have to become Hokage? What do you think of my idea, Tianqi?"

Uchiha Qingyang looked high-spirited at this time. He originally wanted to use the Zhan conflict to return to the center of power, but he didn't expect that Tobirama Senju would die on the Zhan field. Uchiha Tianqi also successfully improved his strength. At this moment, as long as he launched a coup, the position of Hokage could be easily obtained.

The fact was indeed the case. After Uchiha Madara left and the two Hokage died, the Senju family no longer had top experts. At this moment, it could be said that the Uchiha once overwhelmed the Senju.

If the Uchiha launched a coup now, there were no overly strong experts in the village. Coupled with Tianqi's Mangekyo Sharingan, the probability of success was as high as 70%.

However, Tianqi rejected Uchiha Qingyang's proposal and moved the Militant Faction away from the Uchiha clan land to the other side of the village.

Kagami Uchiha also brought the news that Uchiha Qingyang wanted to launch a coup to Sarutobi. For a time, the Uchiha became the focus of Konoha ninjas' surveillance.

Uchiha Qingyang, who learned of this, directly vomited a mouthful of old blood and fell ill. Under the double blow of Tianqi leading the Militant Faction away and Kagami's betrayal, this Clan Head successfully received a lunch box in bed.

His son, Uchiha Sen, also successfully took the position and became the Clan Head. Sen, who was about the same age as Tianqi, not only became the Clan Head but also served as the Minister of the Guard Department, and his power was terrifying for a time. (Uchiha Sen is set here to be Uchiha Fugaku's father)

"Tianqi, the Third Hokage is looking for you. Come to the Hokage Building quickly." While Tianqi was staring blankly at the Hokage statue, a Chunin appeared in front of him and brought him a message.

"Got it, I'll be right there."

Hearing Tianqi say he would be right there, the Chunin left on the wall.

Soon, Tianqi arrived at the Hokage Building with a leisurely expression. Opening the door to the office, he saw Sarutobi, who was looking down at the documents.

"You're here, Tianqi. How have you been in the village recently?" Sarutobi looked up and saw Tianqi coming, and also gave him a cordial greeting.

I can't have a bad attitude. The previously obedient Uchiha had the heart to launch a coup. He was afraid that Tianqi would also participate in it now, and he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep day by day. Fortunately, Tianqi made the right choice and also took away many powerful Uchiha clan members, which prevented the coup from being launched. This move also completely won his trust.

"It's still the same. If there's something to do, I'll go out and do a mission. If there's nothing to do, I'll just wander around the village," Tianqi said with a leisurely expression, pulling a chair and sitting opposite Sarutobi.

"That's just right. Since you're so idle, I'll give you a mission."

"Mission? Don't let it be anything life-threatening. I don't have a girlfriend, haven't gotten married and had children, and haven't lived enough yet." Hearing that there was a mission, Tianqi started to argue directly because he was afraid of trouble.

"Don't worry, it won't delay those things of yours. It's just helping me lead three little Genin," Sarutobi looked at Tianqi and directly rolled his eyes because he was making excuses to reject the mission. Getting married and having children, really can make things up. He's just afraid of trouble.

"Oh, that's a simple matter. I'll take this mission." Hearing that it was just leading a few Genin, Tianqi agreed without thinking.

"Okay, since you agreed to take this mission, I'll tell you about it. Some time ago, I took in three disciples at the school. You also know that as the Hokage, I have a lot of things to do. When I'm not busy, I can still take them with me, but when I get busy, where do I have the time? So, I want you to be the vice-captain and help me take them for a while."

Speaking of this, Sarutobi remembered that one of the Genin was also a bit of a headache. The other two were fine, but he really didn't have any good way to deal with this Genin. He had also suspected these days that it was too hasty to take him as a disciple in the first place.

Hearing that they were Sarutobi's disciples, Tianqi's eyes widened. The Third Hokage's disciples, aren't they the future Sannin, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya?

Sarutobi Hiruzen has already taken the Sannin as disciples? And he wants me to be the Sannin's vice-captain? Damn it, this mission is interesting. It seems that I can have a good time playing around.

"The other two disciples are not bad, but that disciple named Jiraiya, I don't know if I misjudged him, or if his talent is just that little. In short, pay more attention to him," Sarutobi shook his head and said to Tianqi.

"Okay, I'll go and take them well tomorrow." After saying that, he walked out of the Hokage Building. Tianqi didn't completely agree with Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

Orochimaru's parents were both relatively powerful ninjas, and he himself was a genius ninja. Tsunade, as the granddaughter of the First Hokage, also had extraordinary blood flowing in her body. The former two more or less benefited from their relatives.

Only Jiraiya had no parents. Without relatives, he relied entirely on himself to be promoted to Genin. Tianqi knew that it was this Jiraiya, who was not favored by Sarutobi, who would not only become one of the legendary Sannin in the future but also start a legendary story.
