Zhang Yu smiled as he caught the blanket and turned to leave the bedroom.
Bang!
The door closed behind him.
When Zhang Yu returned to the tavern's front hall, Bai Gang had just finished serving a table of drinks.
He waved to Bai.
"Come over."
The white horse came to his side.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Yu stretched his shoulders.
"A little sour."
"Give me a massage."
Bai put down the tray and placed his hands on Zhang Yu's shoulders.
He had only pressed a few buttons when Zhang Yu led him into the office.
He closed the door behind him.
Ban sat in the front hall and watched the entire process.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then called out to the kitchen.
" Izuna."
Izuna came out quickly.
"Brother Ban."
"What's up?"
Ban patted his shoulder.
"Come over here and give it a couple of rubs."
Izuna did not refuse.
He came up behind Madara and placed his hands on Madara's shoulders.
"Here?"
"Move a little to the left."
"And the force?"
"Heavier."
Izuna did as he was told, increasing the pressure.
Ban leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
Izuna stood behind him and massaged him.
The two brothers, one enjoying himself and the other putting in the hard work.
Hashirama sat beside him, growing more and more envious.
He turned to look at the bar.
Tobirama was still mixing drinks.
Hashirama stood up and moved closer.
Tobirama.
Tobirama ignored him.
The Hashirama now closer together.
"Good brother."
Tobirama, his hand holding the wine glass still.
"Shut up."
My shoulders are a little sore too.
"Knead it yourself."
"Even Madara has Izuna's help."
That's their business.
Hashirama patted Madara on the shoulder, just like Madara did.
"Give me a massage too."
Tobirama raised his head.
"Roll!"
Hashirama silently sat back down in his original position.
Half an hour later, Zhang Yu came out of the office.
Bai followed behind him, her face still slightly flushed.
Zhang Yu went to the bar.
He first looked at Madara, who was enjoying a massage, and then at Hashirama, who was slumped over the table looking completely withdrawn.
"What's wrong?"
Did Madara bully you again?
Ban opened his eyes.
"It has nothing to do with me."
Hashirama let out a long sigh.
"The more you talk, the more tears you shed."
Before Zhang Yu could ask any more questions, the tavern door was pushed open.
Shizune carried Tonton into the front hall.
She changed into a formal outfit today and was carrying several documents.
Upon seeing Hashirama and Tobirama, she stopped and bowed.
" Lord First."
" Second."
Then he went to the spotted head.
" Lord Madara."
Finally, she approached Zhang Yu.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
" Konoha is all ready."
"Advisors, clan leaders, and representatives of the Jonin have all arrived."
"As long as Lady Tsunade arrives, the succession ceremony can begin at any time."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade came out from the backyard.
She had already washed up and changed her clothes.
Her long blonde hair was tied up again.
Aside from looking a little unhappy, he didn't look like he had just woken up at all.
Shizune went to meet her.
" Lady Tsunade."
"You're finally up."
Tsunade glared at Zhang Yu.
"Someone barged into my room early in the morning; it was impossible for me not to wake up."
Zhang Yu reminded him, "It's already past ten o'clock."
"For me, it's morning."
Tsunade did not continue arguing.
She took the document from Shizune's hand and casually flipped through a few pages.
The succession ceremony has been fully arranged.
No objection was raised by the Konoha High Command.
All she needs to do is show up and complete the handover.
Tsunade closed the file, but did not leave immediately.
She turned to look at Zhang Yu.
I still don't understand.
"You clearly have that much strength."
"Grandfather, second grandfather, and Madara Uchiha all listen to you."
Why don't you want to become Hokage?
Hashirama raised his head.
Tobirama also stopped mixing drinks.
Ban didn't speak, but just glanced in their direction.
Zhang Yu leaned against the bar.
"I have no interest in the Hokage position."
Tsunade pressed further, "So what are you interested in?"
Zhang Yu looked at her.
"I'm very interested in taking control of the Hokage."
Tsunade was completely confused.
"What's the meaning?"
Zhang Yu offered no explanation.
Tsunade stared at Zhang Yu for a few seconds.
"Control the Hokage?"
How do you want to control it?
Zhang Yu gestured with his chin toward the documents in her hand.
You're going to be late.
"Let's go through the succession ceremony first."
Tsunade wanted to ask more questions, but Shizune had already grabbed her arm.
" Lady Tsunade."
"The clan chiefs and representatives of the high-ranking ninja are all waiting for you."
"It's really not appropriate to drag this out any longer."
Tsunade could only put the documents away.
"When you get back, you must explain this to me clearly."
Zhang Yu waved his hand.
"You'll talk about it after you become Hokage."
Tsunade glared at him, then led Shizune toward the tavern door.
Hashirama immediately stood up.
" Little Tsunade."
"I'll go with you."
Tobirama also put down his sake cup.
I'll go too.
Tsunade paused, turning back to look at the two of them.
"Grandfather, second grandfather."
"Are you also attending the succession ceremony?"
Hashirama nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"We certainly can't be absent from such an important day."
Tobirama then looked at Zhang Yu.
"Boss, do you want to come along?"
"I'm not going."
Zhang Yu refused very decisively.
The tavern is still open.
Someone has to stay.
Tsunade a soft snort.
"Whatever."
"Anyway, I didn't become Hokage just for you to see."
After saying that, she turned and left the tavern.
The Hashirama and Tobirama followed behind.
Ban leaned back in his chair, showing no intention of getting up.
Hashirama walked to the door, then turned back and called out again.
"Spot."
Aren't you going?
"Not interested."
Ban closed his eyes.
"What's so interesting about a Hokage succession ceremony?"
Hashirama advised, " This Little Tsunade's first time as Hokage."
"Just do me a favor."
"No."
Hashirama was about to continue speaking when Tobirama grabbed his arm.
"Big brother."
"If we delay any longer, Little Tsunade will really be late."
The group quickly left the tavern.
Ban and the others' footsteps faded into the distance before they opened their eyes again.
Zhang Yu glanced at him.
"You really don't want to go?"
"Boring."
Ban picked up the teacup on the table.
"I wasn't there when Hashirama became Hokage."
"And besides, she's his granddaughter."
Zhang Yu nodded, not exposing the truth.
Ban said he wasn't interested, but his gaze was already fixed on the window.
The guests in the lobby were also discussing this.
The Fifth Hokage has finally been chosen.
"I heard it's Lady Sannin, one of the Lady Tsunade."
With Lady Tsunade taking over, Konoha will definitely stabilize quickly.
"She's the granddaughter of the First Hokage."
"He was also a hero of the Second Shinobi World War."
The news spread very quickly.
Before noon, news of Tsunade's return to Konoha and her impending appointment as the Fifth Hokage spread throughout the village.
Even after the Konoha Crush Plan ended, the villagers never truly felt at ease.
The Third Hokage Warrior.
The village suffered heavy losses.
Many people are worried that other ninja villages will take the opportunity to attack.
Now that everyone heard that Tsunade had returned, they felt relieved.
The streets were packed with people.
Someone voluntarily hung up the banner.
Many ninjas also rushed to the Hokage Building, just to confirm if the news was true.
