"What are your plans for dealing with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others?"
Fang Xu asked.
Tsunade paused for a moment.
"You want to just kill them?"
"Killing him is the easiest way."
Fang Xu spoke calmly.
" Hiruzen Sarutobi, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura were all key figures in the former high command."
"As long as they live, they will continue to influence Konoha."
Tsunade looked up.
I disagree.
Fang Xu did not show any surprise.
Tsunade continued:
" Konoha has just ended a war, and the village is already in a state of unrest."
"If the Fourth Hokage were to kill all three veteran high-ranking officials immediately after taking office, Konoha would inevitably fall into even greater turmoil."
She shuffled the cards in her hand again.
"The fact that Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group are willing to compromise shows that they have grasped the situation."
"Since they are willing to compromise, their lives can be spared."
Tsunade raised a finger.
"But while the death penalty may be avoided, punishment is inevitable."
"They must return everything they've taken from Konoha over the years."
"Positions, power, resources, industries, and even the benefits gained through high-level positions all need to be thoroughly investigated."
Fang Xu did not interrupt.
Tsunade's voice became more serious.
Konoha is now in dire need of rebuilding.
"The wounded need to Rehabilitation, the families of fallen ninjas need to War-death compensation, the Ninja Academy needs to be expanded, the Medical Ninjutsu system needs to be reformed, and transportation and logistics also need to be rebuilt."
These things all require money.
She looked up at Fang Xu.
Even if Sunagakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure paid War Reparations, it would still be far from enough to sustain Konoha's development.
"Those resources that Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group possess that don't belong to them personally must be handed over."
Fang Xu nodded.
"The follow-up is up to you."
Tsunade was slightly taken aback.
Fang Xu remained calm.
"You are the Fourth Hokage."
"You decide what happens Konoha's Inner Circle."
"As long as the final result you provide satisfies me, I won't interfere."
He paused for a moment.
"But if someone continues to protect Danzo, or attempts to hoard resources or delay the handover."
Fang Xu's tone turned colder.
"I will handle it myself."
Tsunade looked at him for a while.
"Rest assured."
I won't let you down.
After saying that, she turned her attention back to the cards.
The carriage continued on its way.
A few days later, Fang Xu and his group arrived at a town along the way.
Tsunade did not rush back to Konoha.
She took Fang Xu and Nazi to visit the streets, to see the living conditions of the local ninja families, and to listen to the opinions of merchants and ordinary villagers on the Konoha War.
The news kept reaching Konoha as they traveled.
Shimura Danzō's crimes are being discussed by more people.
The statements from the four major families continue to generate discussion and debate.
The people of Konoha are growing increasingly disgusted with Danzo.
Tsunade, the Fourth Hokage who was about to officially assume power, also left an even clearer impression on the people in various regions.
Tsunade kept complaining.
"If I had known being Hokage would be this troublesome, I shouldn't have agreed to be with you."
She stood on the town street, holding the wine she had just bought.
"Every day I have to process documents and listen to all sorts of people arguing."
"Now we can't even travel back to the village in a comfortable way."
Fang Xu looked at her.
"Weren't you enjoying it?"
Tsunade immediately glared at him.
Who's happy?
"I just want to see just how many problems Konoha still has."
After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on the street that was under repair in the distance.
Several Konoha Ninja are helping local residents build houses.
The shops have reopened.
The traces left by the war are gradually fading.
Tsunade's expression gradually softened.
Konoha does indeed have many problems.
But the village is gradually getting better.
This change was completely different from what she had imagined.
She originally only wanted to escape the Hokage Position.
Now, however, he is witnessing firsthand that he may indeed be able to lead Konoha down a different path.
This feeling left her both exhausted and unable to let go completely.
Fang Xu suddenly spoke.
"Now that you're Hokage, things don't seem so bad for you."
Tsunade's expression immediately changed.
"Don't give me that."
"If I really don't want to continue being Hokage, I can simply hand the position over to Minato."
Fang Xu continued:
" Minato is certainly capable of taking over."
"But he's still young, and his foundation isn't strong enough yet."
"If you let go now, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura will likely sideline him again."
"At that time, Minato will become the nominal Hokage."
"Those who truly hold power are still the old top brass."
Tsunade's brows slowly furrowed.
Fang Xu looked into the distance.
" Konoha's Inner Circle problems."
"If we don't seize the opportunity to thoroughly rectify the situation, the village will eventually revert to its old state."
Even if Konoha is ultimately destroyed, I can still leave with those around me.
He spoke casually.
"We can settle in other worlds."
" The Pokémon World is a great place to go."
"There isn't as much endless conflict there as in the Shinobi World."
Tsunade slammed the bottle of sake down on the table.
"Say it again?"
Fang Xu Frisk something was wrong and was about to back away when Tsunade grabbed his ear.
"Pain!"
"You still feel pain?"
Tsunade twisted his ear hard.
"You're a descendant of the Senju, and Konoha Ninja. How can you so easily talk about betraying Konoha?"
Fang Xu helplessly grabbed her wrist.
"I'm just stating a choice."
"If Konoha is beyond saving, then of course we can leave."
Tsunade's face turned red with anger.
"Shut up!"
"After we arrive in the next town tomorrow, you'll have to pay to come with me to the casino."
"I want to play all day!"
Fang Xu rubbed his ears.
"OK."
"I'll pay."
Tsunade then released her grip.
Fang Xu, however, had already begun to make plans in his mind.
He expanded his business by relying on the Dawn Group, which was controlled by Kakuzu.
With the cooperation of the Gato father and son in business, the group amassed an astonishing amount of wealth.
The expenses at the casino are nothing at all.
If the real body or Shadow Clone personally intervenes, secretly offsetting Tsunade's bet, then they won't actually lose money.
In short, Tsunade can play as long as she wants.
night.
After Fang Xu saw Tsunade off, he took Nazi back to their room.
He opened the Spatial Ring World, Nazi to go and explore other places on her own.
Afterwards, Fang Xu went into the secret room alone.
The stone door to the secret chamber closed.
He took out Chakra Refinement Technique and condensed a ball of Chakra.
Two items floated in the palm of the hand.
Fang Xu activated his Exchange Talent.
A flash of light.
The item vanished instantly.
The scene then spanned the world.
Resident Evil World.
Deep within the underground Hive base.
Kaplan, Rain, Matt, and the other mercenaries stood in front of the Red Queen's mainframe.
A huge red light screen illuminated everyone's face.
