Konohagakure, Hokage Office.
As Orochimaru finished speaking, the fear in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart also dissipated a bit.
However, he knew very well that this time Konoha participated in the siege of Uzushiogakure, which would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of Takenaka Kaguya.
Moreover, others did not know it, but he knew clearly that the initiator of this siege was none other than Konoha.
Once Takenaka Kaguya learns about this, I'm afraid Konoha will be in danger next.
Of course, what scares him the most is that he can no longer sit in his Third Hokage position.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at Shimura Danzō and Orochimaru and said, "I understand. Don't let other people in the village know about this for the time being. I'll think of a solution first.
You have worked hard this time, so go down and rest first, and we will talk about the rest after you have rested."
"Hmph!"
Shimura Danzō snorted coldly. Although his old friend didn't say anything, he understood that things couldn't be good this time.
It's hard to say that once Uzushiogakure starts to investigate, he will be pushed out as the scapegoat.
However, this is not the time to talk about this now. He has other back-ups, and we will see how they develop later.
"Disciple, please retire!" Orochimaru didn't say much. After bowing, he turned around and followed Shimura Danzō out.
After the two left, Hiruzen Sarutobi put away the worry on his face and was replaced by anger. He turned on Barrier and then said angrily into the air, "Black Zetsu, is this what you call foolproof?"
As he finished speaking, he saw a white Spores the size of a rice grain gradually getting bigger on the wall next to him, and the figure of Black Zetsu quickly emerged from it.
"I really didn't think carefully about this matter. I didn't expect that Takenaka Kaguya's strength has reached such a terrifying level.
Moreover, among Uzushiogakure, there are actually twenty high-level combatants like Kage Level.
However, Hokage, this incident is not without gain. At least through this incident, we have tested out the hidden strength of Uzushiogakure, right?" Black Zetsu smiled slightly and said slowly.
"Hmph, you put it lightly. Orochimaru used Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu to channel First Hokage, Second Hokage and Madara Uchiha. The three legendary strong men joined forces and couldn't hold Takenaka Kaguya down.
Moreover, Orochimaru was also seen by Takenaka Kaguya. Do you know that according to Takenaka Kaguya's temperament, Konoha will definitely come to investigate.
At that time, once he goes crazy in Konoha, who can stop him?" Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted coldly and said with great dissatisfaction.
It's not his fault, it's really that Takenaka Kaguya has given him too much fear, especially now, he doesn't dare to appear in front of Takenaka Kaguya.
If the alliance between Konoha and Uzushiogakure is broken, Hiruzen Sarutobi is not too worried. However, once Takenaka Kaguya finds out through the so-called Observation Haki that he has contact with Black Zetsu.
Haha, what are the consequences? It's obvious.
By then, let alone her Third Hokage, I'm afraid the entire Sarutobi Clan will suffer a devastating blow.
You know, Black Zetsu is the incarnation of Madara Uchiha's will, and Madara Uchiha is the culprit that caused the deaths of First Hokage and Second Hokage.
Third Hokage, who is Konoha, did not kill Black Zetsu, but instead became a second-rate kid. As long as people know about it, there will be no place for him in the entire Shinobi World.
Also, once Takenaka Kaguya comes to Konoha in person, as Hokage of Konoha now, the person with the highest status in Konoha, he must come forward.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Black Zetsu and became even more dissatisfied.
In this regard, Black Zetsu saw everything, but did not care. He still said calmly and calmly, "Hokage, don't worry, I know your worries very well.
Don't worry, I already have a solution, but it requires you to suffer a little."
"Say!" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a frown.
"Go to Mito Uzumaki and tell her everything that happened. I think that even if Mito Uzumaki is angry again, he will not care about Konoha's life and death.
Also, as long as you persuade her to go there in person Uzushiogakure, Takenaka Kaguya will definitely not Konoha take action!" Black Zetsu said with a smile.
"You said it nicely, I'm not afraid of being wronged, but what should I say to Lady Mito?
Does it mean that I cooperated with you, who is the incarnation of Madara Uchiha's will, and because I was afraid that Takenaka Kaguya would spy on my heart, I took the initiative to provoke this war. As a result, our strength was insufficient and we lost this battle?
Or, as Konoha Third Hokage, I am afraid that one day in the future, Konoha and Uzushiogakure will be on opposite sides, and because of this worry, I turned the imaginary enemy Uzushiogakure into a real enemy in advance?"
Speaking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed at himself and said, "If I really told Lady Mito like this, I'm afraid she would beat me to death, and I, Third Hokage, wouldn't have to do anything."
Hearing this, Black Zetsu frowned slightly, although she understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's worries and understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's current situation.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi has been the Hokage of Konohagakure for so many years, among the entire Konohagakure, the status of Mito Uzumaki is unmatched by anyone, and no one can shake it.
In this regard, even Hiruzen Sarutobi cannot compare.
As the wife of First Hokage Hashirama Senju, the current leader of the Senju Clan, and also Mito Uzumaki of Konoha Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she has more say than anyone else.
If she is really dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi, I'm afraid Hiruzen Sarutobi really won't be able to do this Hokage.
However, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's half-dead appearance, Black Zetsu felt very disgusted and even regretted it. How could he cooperate with Hiruzen Sarutobi, a waste in the first place?
I can't say that it's better to cooperate with Shimura Danzō!
However, now that things have happened, there is no point in regretting.
So, Black Zetsu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said solemnly, "Hokage, you should be like a man and face the current situation bravely.
You know, our experiments have been going on for so many years, and now we have reached a critical moment. As long as you solve the current troubles, your strength will be greatly improved by then.
By then, even if we are really directly against Takenaka Kaguya, we will no longer be afraid.
So, you'd better go find Mito Uzumaki and ask her to help you this time. This is the best solution at the moment!"
After saying this, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then smiled bitterly and said, "Well, since there is no other way, then I will just go for it."
Soon, Hiruzen Sarutobi left Hokage Office, took two Anbu members, and headed towards the house where Mito Uzumaki lived.
However, at this moment, in Mito Uzumaki's house, a huge wave of Chakra was seen emanating from Mito Uzumaki's body and lingering for a long time.
Mito Uzumaki looked at the information scroll in his hand, his expression extremely grim, especially the last few lines of words, which made Mito Uzumaki feel like his blood pressure could not be suppressed.
"Sarutobi How dare this kid, how dare he?" Mito Uzumaki asked angrily and loudly.
"Grandma, something has happened. The most urgent task is to find a way to eliminate Lord Takenaka's anger.
Moreover, Lord Takenaka took the initiative to write the letter. I think it was because of the past friendship between you and him that he did not directly attack Konoha.
This shows that this matter has not reached a point where it cannot be mitigated!"
On the opposite side, looking at Mito Uzumaki who was in a rage, Tsunade quickly spoke to persuade him.
Listening to these words, the anger on Mito Uzumaki's face gradually dissipated, and she frowned and thought quickly. After a moment, she suddenly raised her head, looked at Tsunade with a solemn face and asked, "Little Tsunade, are you willing to be Fourth Hokage of Konoha?"
"What? Me, Fourth Hokage?"
On the opposite side, as soon as the words Fourth Hokage were spoken, Tsunade stood up in surprise and excitement, somewhat unbelievable.
In the original work of Hokage, Tsunade experienced Shinobi World's second war and gained the name Sannin. During the war, he saw his boyfriend, younger brother, and a large number of Konoha's companions die, thus suffering from hemophobia.
Tsunade, who had been living in pain, was not completely disappointed with Konoha, but he could no longer continue to fight on the battlefield. With the outbreak of Third Shinobi World War, Tsunade's most important role at that time was actually to use his own Medical Ninjutsu to help Konoha resist the toxin of Sunagakure.
It was not until the end of Third Shinobi World War that the frustrated Tsunade left Konohagakure, took Dan Katō's niece Shizune Kato, and began to travel while becoming the "legendary big fat sheep".
At that time, her two closest people wanted to be Hokage, so she had no attachment to the position of Hokage, and even rejected it.
After that, Orochimaru cooperated with Kimimaro, the last member of the Kaguya Clan's clan, to kill Fourth Kazekage, and disguised himself as Fourth Kazekage Rasa to activate Konoha Crush, successfully killing Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Once Monkey dies, Konoha has no leader. The only suitable people to be Hokage are Jiraiya and Tsunade, Jiraiya Being used to being free from restraint, he personally took the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki to find Tsunade in Tanzaku Town. Finally, he was cured of his anemia and returned to Konoha to become Fifth Hokage.
Let's get back to the subject, but now Tsunade is still full of expectations for the position of Hokage. Now she suddenly heard Mito Uzumaki ask her if she would like to be Fourth Hokage of Konoha. She was naturally very excited.
However, compared to Tsunade's excitement, Mito Uzumaki said calmly and helplessly, "Little Tsunade, something like this happened now. No matter what, we need to give you Grandpa Takenaka an explanation.
And the most suitable person to stand up is your teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi who has stepped down.
And you, as the granddaughter of First Hokage and Second Hokage, and a disciple of Third Hokage, there will be no more suitable Hokage candidate than you in the entire Konoha.
If you become Fourth Hokage of Konoha, with the love between grandma and you Grandpa Takenaka, you will definitely be able to maintain the alliance between Konoha and Uzushiogakure again."
Listening to these words, the excitement in Tsunade's heart gradually dissipated, and she understood what her grandma meant.
If she becomes Hokage, she will naturally not be like her teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi, who stupidly becomes Uzushiogakure's enemy.
And she is also confident that she can maintain the alliance between Konoha and Uzushiogakure again, or even make it better.
"Grandma, will my teacher agree? After studying with him for these years, I generally know him well.
His emphasis on power may have reached a crazy level.
In addition, after he came to power, Sarutobi Clan has become one of the great ninja clan Konoha, and Sarutobi Clan will agree to his resignation..."
Before Tsunade could continue, when he heard Sarutobi Clan, he was put off by Mito Uzumaki and Teuchi said, "Little Tsunade, just Sarutobi Clan, can't afford any trouble, you don't need to consider them, and you don't need to consider whether your teacher is willing to step down.
Now, the situation forced him to disagree.
Otherwise, once you Grandpa Takenaka come to Konoha in person to ask for an explanation, I'm afraid it won't be whether he is willing or not. If he takes action, your teacher probably won't survive."
After finishing speaking, Tsunade was silent for a moment, then a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Mito Uzumaki seriously and said, "Grandma, I am willing to become Fourth Hokage of Konoha."
"Okay, then it's settled!"
Just as Mito Uzumaki finished speaking, she suddenly sensed that Hiruzen Sarutobi's Chakra was coming this way, so she hummed softly and continued, "He is actually still here It doesn't matter if you have the nerve to do so. When your second grandfather was dying, you had no choice but to choose him to be Third Hokage in order to prevent chaos from happening to Konoha. Now let me bring order to the chaos."
Soon, Ninja who was standing outside walked in quickly, saluted respectfully. "Lady Mito, Lady Tsunade, Hokage are here."
"Invite him in."
Mito Uzumaki asked Tsunade to stand behind her, and then ordered his guards to invite Hiruzen Sarutobi in.
"Yes, Lady Mito."
After a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi walked in with an uneasy heart. As soon as he entered the room, suddenly, Mito Uzumaki exuded a powerful aura and pressed directly towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Feeling Mito Uzumaki's powerful momentum, Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then he broke out in a cold sweat.
He quickly saluted and asked, "Lady Mito, why are you doing this? But Hiruzen did something wrong?"
"Hmph, little Monkey, you are so good. You actually asked me what you did wrong? Look at this!"
Mito Uzumaki snorted coldly and threw the information scroll in his hand very angrily.
"Crack!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi took it and looked at it quickly. However, with a glance, there was more sweat on his forehead and back.
"Lady Mito, it turns out that you already know that I did something wrong, but I did it as a last resort in order to make Konoha better." Hiruzen Sarutobi defended himself in a panic after reading all the information.
"For Konoha, for Konoha, little Monkey, do you think that this old woman like me is a fool?"
