Chapter 119: Fourth Hokage! Senju Tsunade
"Say, what if we let Tsunade succeed as the Fourth Hokage?"
That's right, this was Aoyama Ryūun's idea.
Originally, Tsunade was the future Fifth Hokage.
Succeeding as the Fourth Hokage earlier doesn't seem to be a problem.
"Ah!"
Such a sudden remark stunned both Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi.
After all...
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had not officially stepped down yet.
To put it harshly, discussing such things now was simply treacherous.
But! Who cares?
"I think there's absolutely no problem!"
After Hiashi and Hizashi glanced at each other...
They looked at Aoyama Ryūun seriously in unison.
Everyone knew that Aoyama Ryūun and Tsunade were a couple.
There wasn't much difference between Tsunade becoming Hokage and Aoyama Ryūun becoming Hokage!
"My Hyuga clan will absolutely support Lady Tsunade to become Hokage!"
"Hmm!"
Smiling slightly, he nodded.
Aoyama Ryūun could see the thoughts of the Hyuga clan.
But it didn't matter.
If these people were willing to follow, then let them follow.
Anyway, it wouldn't have any impact on Aoyama Ryūun.
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't tolerate outstanding talents, couldn't tolerate large clans like the Senju and Uchiha.
Why?
That's because Sarutobi Hiruzen's own strength was lacking.
No matter how well he disguised it, his magnanimity was only that small.
If it were the First Hokage...
No matter what kind of genius appeared in Konoha, the First Hokage wouldn't care.
Nor would he restrict such people's normal growth.
That's because the First Hokage had absolute confidence.
No matter how much they grew, they wouldn't be his match.
Strength determines magnanimity!
Aoyama Ryūun now had such magnanimity.
"Alright!"
Thinking of this, Aoyama Ryūun didn't hesitate much and waved his hand directly.
"Send a message to that old Third Hokage. Tell him, this old master absolutely thinks Tsunade has the potential to be Hokage!"
"Yes!"
The brothers Hiashi and Hizashi didn't hesitate.
After receiving the order, they turned and left.
...
On Aoyama Ryūun's side, he could almost think about how to make Tsunade Hokage.
To be reasonable, Aoyama Ryūun himself really didn't have much desire for the position of Hokage.
Working himself to death every day, endless documents to process...
Aoyama Ryūun was not someone who could sit still.
Making Aoyama Ryūun sit in the Hokage Building processing documents for several years consecutively...
That would simply take Aoyama Ryūun's life.
Letting Tsunade do it was just right.
...
On the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, who had just finished a battle, returned to the conference room in a sorry state.
Judging by their appearance, they obviously lost!
Although it wasn't a total defeat...
But losing too many such small battles...
In the future, they would really lose directly to Kirigakure.
"Damn it! Are those Kirigakure people all idiots? Fighting without caring for their lives!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen hammered the table viciously.
A Hokage leading the team and losing was simply shameful.
"Lord Hokage, there's news from Lord Ryūun's side!"
At this time, an Anbu message suddenly came.
"Could it be that Aoyama Ryūun can provide support?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up.
Even Danzō and the others beside him were somewhat joyful.
After all, in these years, apart from perfunctory responses...
Aoyama Ryūun had never contacted them.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took the message scroll. He had just scanned it for a while when his face immediately darkened.
"Damn it!"
"What's wrong?"
The originally expectant mentality changed instantly.
Leaving Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Danzō all puzzled.
"That Aoyama Ryūun wants Tsunade to become the next Hokage!"
Aoyama Ryūun said Tsunade had the potential to be Hokage.
But the meaning wasn't simple.
It was obviously a threat from Aoyama Ryūun.
If Tsunade isn't made the next Hokage, this old master will absolutely not provide support!
"What!"
Utatane Koharu and the others exclaimed. The position of Hokage was no joke.
Among them, Danzō had the biggest reaction.
After all, Danzō had never forgotten about the position of Hokage.
"Absolutely impossible. Tsunade is obviously with Aoyama Ryūun. Letting Tsunade become Hokage is worse than letting this old man do it!"
Danzō spoke with righteous indignation.
However, for the first half of the sentence, Sarutobi Hiruzen could nod in agreement.
But as soon as the second half came out...
Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were instantly speechless.
Having been together for so many years, they knew each other inside out. Letting Danzō become Hokage...
Konoha would probably never be peaceful again.
After all, Danzō had always been a proper war hawk.
Stubborn, mysteriously confident.
Always believing that he was the strongest in the Ninja World, and Konoha was number one under heaven.
"Hiruzen! What do you think?"
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura glanced at each other, then looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in unison.
For Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura...
Actually, it didn't matter who became Hokage.
Although they were both dissatisfied with Aoyama Ryūun, the gap in strength...
Meant that even if they were dissatisfied, they couldn't do anything.
Anyway, as long as they could keep their Elder positions...
The rest didn't matter.
"We do need Aoyama Ryūun's power right now!"
"It would be too shameful to really lose to Kirigakure!"
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura echoed each other.
Their meaning was also hoping Sarutobi Hiruzen could compromise.
"..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at the two old fellows grumpily.
So as long as it doesn't threaten your interests, it doesn't matter what happens to Konoha?
"Let me think about it!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen coveted the power of the Hokage!
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but curse Namikaze Minato a few times in his heart.
If Namikaze Minato had really defeated Kumogakure...
Then Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't need to struggle now.
"Hmph!"
The angriest one was naturally Danzō on the side!
