Hiruzen Sarutobi The chest keeps rising and falling.
"You want Anbu to do it?"
"Other than a dozen more corpses, what's the use?"
Mitokado Homura pushed up his glasses.
His fingers were still trembling slightly.
"Fang Xu's approach is indeed too tough."
"But his current strength and reputation are no longer something we can check and balance."
Utatane Koharu's face turned even uglier.
"Are we going to hand over all the power like this?"
"We have been operating Konoha for decades."
"Anbu, finance, foreign affairs, Ninja Academy, which part does not have our hard work?"
"Now let Tsunade take it all away in one sentence?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at her.
His face was full of exhaustion.
"Koharu."
"The last people who should test Fang Xu's bottom line are us."
"I warned you a long time ago."
"Fang Xu acts without many scruples."
"He was really driven and would do anything."
Utatane Koharu's face became distorted.
"If you hadn't been blocking me in the first place."
"We should have completely controlled him before he grew up!"
"Why does a child of unknown origin possess so many Kekkei Genkai?"
"Why do you master Wood Release?"
"Why should we put pressure on the whole Konoha?"
"If I had known this would happen, I should have..."
"Shut up!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted sharply.
Utatane Koharu's words stopped on his lips.
Hiruzen Sarutobi walked quickly to her and lowered his voice.
"Fang Xu's perception ability is so terrifying, have you forgotten?"
"He can lock the ninja's Chakra across the entire Konoha."
"He can even teleport directly to anywhere."
"If he hears your words."
"None of the three of us will end well."
Utatane Koharu's breathing was stagnant.
She remembered the scene where Fang Xu suddenly appeared in the living room just now.
No warning.
There is no Chakra fluctuation.
No one notified us in advance.
Fang Xu Come whenever you want.
Leave if you want.
Konoha No matter how big the place is, it has no meaning to him.
Mitokado Homura was silent for a moment.
"Let's go to Hokage Tower first."
"Fang Xu has given the order. If the handover is not completed tonight, he will not give up."
Utatane Koharu clenched his fists unwillingly.
"Can we only look at Tsunade's face from now on?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled slowly.
"Tsunade is a disciple after all."
"She's different from us."
"As long as we are willing to cooperate, we will no longer have a direct conflict with her."
"She takes into account the relationship between teachers and students to some extent."
When he said this, his tone slowly became lower.
"Ninja Academy needs management."
"It is impossible to replace all finance and foreign affairs personnel overnight."
"As long as we make appropriate concessions, we can always retain some of our rights and interests."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said this.
My heart is filled with regret.
If I hadn't deliberately left him in Konoha because I was afraid of Fang Xu.
If only he had been sent to the front line earlier.
Third Shinobi World War It's over a long time ago.
Konoha will not lose so many people in vain.
Villagers and ninjas will not direct all their grievances against themselves.
One wrong step.
Wrong step.
Now it's too late to try to save it.
The three of them did not stay any longer.
They packed up their clothes and rushed to Hokage Tower with a sullen face.
Within Hokage Office.
Tsunade is sitting in the seat that originally belonged to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Minato Namikaze is standing at the desk.
Nara Shikaku, Fugaku Uchiha, Hyuga Hiashi and others also all stay here.
Hiruzen Sarutobi The moment the three of them entered the office, everyone's eyes fell on them.
Tsunade raised his head.
"You are here."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tsunade.
This disciple who used to always evade Hokage's responsibilities is now sitting behind Hokage's desk with no hesitation on his face.
He felt more complicated.
"Tsunade."
"Anbu, Intelligence departments, Logistics System, Mission Dispatch and Administrative Documents, I will arrange for people to complete the handover."
Tsunade nodded.
"It will be done tonight."
"The heads of all departments should report to Hokage Tower before tomorrow morning."
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not refute.
"Okay."
Utatane Koharu couldn't help but speak.
"The affairs of Tsunade, Finance Department are extremely complicated."
"Many accounts, resource allocation and post-war compensation cannot be sorted out in a short time."
"Hurrying over everything will probably cause confusion."
Tsunade looked at her.
"I'm not prepared to overthrow all Finance Department."
Utatane Koharu was stunned.
Tsunade continued:
"You continue to serve as Finance Department's consultant and retain some of your powers."
"However, major fund mobilization, post-war compensation, resource allocation and budget review must be submitted to Hokage Office."
"In the future, Finance Department's accounts will also be disclosed to Secretariat for review on a regular basis."
Utatane Koharu's face changed slightly.
She kept her position.
But the core financial power was directly taken away by Tsunade.
Mitokado Homura also frowned.
"Where is Foreign Affairs Department?"
Tsunade looked at him.
"You continue to be responsible for some of the Foreign Affairs Department's affairs."
"You can handle the exchanges between countries, commercial and trade agreements and daily diplomacy."
"Involving Ninja Village negotiations, war compensation, major treaties and military cooperation, decisions must be made by Hokage."
Mitokado Homura fell silent.
This is also about retaining positions and weakening real power.
Tsunade did not give the two people a chance to continue bargaining.
She turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Teacher."
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head.
Tsunade spoke calmly.
"You serve as the principal of the Konoha Ninja Academy."
"Ninja Academy is cultivating the future Konoha."
"Your experience and prestige can still be used."
Hiruzen Sarutobi The fingers tightened slightly.
From Hokage to the Ninja Academy principal.
This gap was difficult for him to accept.
But he looked at Tsunade, then at Minato Namikaze standing next to him, and finally nodded.
"Okay."
Tsunade picked up the handover documents on the table.
"From now on, Anbu, Intelligence, administration, logistics and Mission System are all directly under Hokage."
"Ninja Academy, Finance Department and Foreign Affairs Department retain their original responsible persons."
"But all departments are subject to supervision by Hokage Office."
"Who dares to delay, obstruct or mobilize resources privately in the name of the old senior management?"
"Direct dismissal and investigation."
No one in the office objected.
Nara Shikaku looked down at the paperwork and began to calculate the amount of subsequent tasks in his mind.
Fugaku Uchiha and Hyuga Hiashi looked at each other.
Both of them understood.
From this night on, Konoha's power structure completely changed.
The next morning.
Konoha The central square was already crowded with people.
Villagers.
Ninja.
Troops returning from the front line.
Ninja Clans member.
There were even many ninja family members holding their children.
Everyone is looking in the direction of the high platform.
Konoha Flag is hung on both sides of the high platform.
The sun falls on Hokage Rock.
Four carved stone faces overlook the entire village.
