Tobirama Senju also agreed with his elder brother's words.
Jiraiya is a reliable person with great strength. Moreover, when he questioned Hiruzen Sarutobi, he did not show any bias towards his teacher, which is enough to prove that he is very reliable and is the one who inherited the Will of Fire.
" Lord First Hokage, Second Hokage, my personality isn't suited to be Hokage."
The two then approached Jiraiya, hoping he would become Hokage, but Jiraiya flatly refused.
" Jiraiya, why is that?"
Hashirama Senju asked.
"My personality isn't really suited for this Hokage, and besides, Konoha is too weak right now, Kumogakure is too great. I don't feel comfortable being the Hokage."
Jiraiya shook his head; he wasn't a fool.
He probably knows the current situation in Konoha much better than anyone else except for the Konoha F4.
Beset by internal and external troubles, Konoha might be destroyed one day and occupied by Kumogakure.
If he were to become Hokage now, wouldn't he become a ruler of a fallen kingdom? Although Jiraiya loved Konoha deeply, he wouldn't do something so foolish.
If even Hashirama Senju couldn't handle this man, then I certainly can't.
"Then recommend one," Tobirama Senju asked, frowning.
"Okay, I will definitely find a suitable candidate."
Jiraiya the two Hokage were willing to agree to his request, Jiraiya's eyes lit up as he went to find the person.
After searching extensively, Jiraiya despairingly discovered that there was really no one in Konoha qualified to be Hokage.
After all, it's around year 55 in Konoha, and Kakashi's strength and prestige aren't yet formidable enough.
Shikaku Nara has enough prestige, but his strength is too weak. Moreover, given Shikaku Nara's intelligence, he would never accept being the Hokage.
Hokage now could easily turn you into a ruler who brings about the downfall of a nation. Who would want to take on such a hot potato?
Therefore, Jiraiya was unable to find a suitable candidate to become Hokage.
The main problem is that Konoha has suffered a severe brain drain. If Orochimaru, Minato, Tsunade, and others were still around, how could Konoha have fallen to such a state, unable to even elect a Hokage?
At the same time, news that the Konoha F4 had become Konoha's S-rank prisoners and were sentenced to life imprisonment spread from Konoha to the Shinobi World.
Konoha would naturally not spread such news proactively, so whoever did it was none other than Ziyun, who had observed the entire process.
"That bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi, he got what he deserved! He was stripped of his Hokage and imprisoned for life. He really got what he deserved!"
Ōnoki burst into laughter upon receiving the news.
After all, the image of Hiruzen Sarutobi him during that great battle was still haunting him.
This resulted in heavy losses for Iwagakure, with many elite ninja killed or wounded, and it will take at least several years for them to recover.
After everything that's happened, he couldn't wait to eat Hiruzen Sarutobi's flesh and drink his blood.
"Hahaha, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally got his comeuppance! Serves him right!"
Rasa also laughed heartily. He hated Hiruzen Sarutobi to the core, so he was naturally very happy to hear the news.
In addition to this news, Ziyun also spread information about the things that Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other Konoha High Command had done to the major Konoha clans.
" The Hokage of Konoha, a man of such stature, has actually done so many dirty things to the powerful clans of the village. He is utterly shameless."
"This guy's the Strongest Hokage? He's more like the Strongest Infighting Hokage!"
"No wonder the major clans of Konoha are all fleeing. With Hokage like Zhao Zhao Zhao, who wouldn't want to run away?"
For a time, Hiruzen Sarutobi and his companions were like Nezumi in the street, hated and attacked by everyone in the Shinobi World.
Even the leaders of some small countries like the Land of Waterfalls, the Land of Rivers, and the Land of Grass looked down on Hiruzen Sarutobi, and his reputation as the Strongest Infighting Hokage spread far and wide.
After all, anyone who knew the inside story would find it shameless that such a powerful clan in their own village could commit so many heinous acts.
"Hahaha, Hiruzen Sarutobi has only himself to blame!"
Kumogakure, Uchiha Fugaku and the others laughed heartily, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
I didn't expect Hiruzen Sarutobi to get his comeuppance so quickly; it's really satisfying.
The Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan were also very happy, as they all had grudges against the Konoha High Command. Although so much time had passed, they still couldn't forget the hatred that nearly led to their annihilation.
"I'm planning a trip to Konoha next. Is anyone interested in coming with me?"
Soon Ziyun returned home and spoke to Mikoto, Kushina, and Tsunade.
"What's the point of going to Konoha? Aren't all four of Konoha F4 confessed and punished now? Konoha doesn't seem interesting anymore."
Mikoto found it somewhat boring.
Now that Kumogakure is wealthy, most of the money has been used by Ziyun for development and construction. In terms of prosperity Kumogakure has far surpassed Konoha.
Now, Mikoto has lost all interest in mentioning Konoha. Besides, the Konoha F4 are all imprisoned for life, and she has no enemies in Konoha, so there's no point in going there.
"It's precisely because they've confessed their crimes that we should go and see what they look like. Don't you find that interesting?"
Ziyun said with great interest.
"I'll go with you, Ziyun. I'm very interested."
Upon hearing this, Kushina immediately stood up; she loved joining in on this kind of fun.
Tsunade, what about you? Aren't you coming with me?
Then Ziyun turned his gaze to Tsunade and noticed that her expression was somewhat complicated.
"It's alright, Ziyun, you guys go ahead." Tsunade expression shifting.
"Are you afraid to see your grandfather? It's okay, let's go together. Hokage Konoha, and I'm planning to put you in Hokage position so that our Kumogakure can smoothly take over Konoha and the Land of Fire."
Ziyun guessed Tsunade's thoughts and then revealed his own plan.
"You want me to become Hokage? Is that even possible?"
Tsunade exclaimed in surprise, not expecting Ziyun's plan to be so outrageous.
"What's wrong? In terms of bloodline, you're Hashirama Senju's granddaughter; in terms of strength, you could easily crush Konoha now. Doesn't that meet the criteria?"
"It just so happens that you haven't seen your grandfather in a long time, and I know you really want to visit him, so let's go together."
"Ziyun said."
"Okay, then I'll go with you." Tsunade agreed, and at the same time, she took Ziyun's arm like a kitten.
Tsunade a sweet warmth in her heart, never expecting Ziyun to be so kind and thoughtful towards her.
" Ziyun, I suspect you're an imposter. You're incredibly meticulous."
Kushina sensed something was off, so she went over and pinched Ziyun's cheek.
"Okay, then try and see if I'm fake."
Ziyun smiled and flicked Kushina's forehead with a finger, causing Kushina forehead to turn red.
"Ouch, that hurts! Ziyun's fingers hurt the most, so you must really be like that."
Kushina clutched her forehead and cried out, "Only Ziyun can hit my molten lava body."
" Tsunade, Kushina, you two come with me. I still need to go find someone. Perhaps Uchiha Fugaku and the others also want to see Hiruzen Sarutobi's disgraceful behavior."
Afterwards Ziyun took a stroll around Kumogakure.
As expected, many members of the Uzumaki Clan Senju Clan wanted to see the disgraceful state of the Konoha F4, and Ziyun brought them all along as well.
Even Orochimaru, who usually wasn't interested in joining in on such exciting events, wanted to come and see for himself.
"I want to go too, Lord Raikage. Staying in Kumogakure Tenten is too boring."
Mei Terumi even wanted to join in the fun.
"Let's go together. We're bored anyway, and this will boost our Stronger so Tsunade can get the Fifth Hokage position."
Ziyun brought Mei Terumi with him.
" Pakura, what about you? Don't you want to go and take a look?"
Then Ziyun turned his gaze to Pakura. This woman had been working diligently ever since she joined Kumogakure, which made Ziyun feel a little embarrassed.
"I'm not going. I have very important things to do. I'm going to take revenge."
Pakura refused.
Sunagakure is currently weak, and she wants to seek revenge on Rasa, since Rasa tried to kill her back then, a grudge that Pakura will never forget.
"You? Can you handle it? If you can't, just say so. I can help you. You've worked hard for Kumogakure all these years, even if you haven't done anything particularly meritorious," Ziyun said.
"Thank you Lord Raikage. I will definitely ask for your help if I can't handle this."
Pakura expressed her gratitude.
Then Ziyun led a large group of Kumogakure Ninja toward Konoha, a grand procession of over a hundred people.
There was no way around it; the Konoha F4 had offended too many people. Now that they were in trouble, many people wanted to visit them.
"Welcome, Fourth Lord Raikage! We've been waiting for you."
After a few days' journey, Ziyun arrived at Konoha, where he was welcomed by Izumo Konoha Kotetsu, the village's gatekeepers.
They actually didn't want the people from Kumogakure to come to Konoha, but they still had to put on a welcoming act because they didn't want to anger Ziyun.
"Take us to the cell Konoha High Command are being held."
Ziyun gave the instructions to the gatekeeper of Konoha just as he would to his subordinates in Kumogakure.
Then Uchiha Fugaku and the others saw Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others bound tightly with iron chains.
Such treatment is reserved for S-class prisoners.
"I never expected that the Third Hokage, Shimura Danzō, and the two elders would meet again in such a way."
Uchiha Fugaku almost burst out laughing.
