The last boss of the ninja world

January 40, Konoha 11,

The announcement of the abdication of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was officially posted in the streets of Konoha and quickly spread throughout the ninja world.

It has become the most concerning matter in the ninja world today.

On the abdication notice board, there is reluctance between the lines. If you read carefully and taste it, you can read some of Sarutobi Hiruzen's helplessness.

The villagers were a little reluctant to give up, and many people gathered to protest, demanding that Hiruzen Sarutobi continue to serve as Hokage.

It's a pity that no matter how happy the villagers are, they can't affect the decisions of Konoha's top brass.

In addition to the feeling of reluctance, the notice also revealed the successor that Sarutobi Hiruzen admired - Orochimaru. Orochimaru's name was mentioned several times in the not-so-long article.

This made Orochimaru very excited, and he immediately stood up and made several high-profile appearances.

For example, with the help of Genbu, he launched a private fundraiser on Konoha Central Street and attracted about 20 taels of loving support for the Konoha Orphanage.

Another example is that at this year's festival, on behalf of Konoha officials, he attended the festival event.

This is the first time for Konoha ninjas to participate in the traditional festival of the Land of Fire, and it has indeed won the hearts of many villagers.

the other side,

Following Musashi's instructions, Tsunade settled down to confine herself at home.

Since the day Sarutobi Hiruzen announced his abdication, Tsunade has not taken a step out of the Musashi family.

To everyone, it seemed that Tsunade had no intention of succeeding as Hokage.

XNUM X days,

The new nomination meeting was officially opened, hosted by Hiruzen Sarutobi himself.

As a member of the waiting list, Tsunade received an invitation to the meeting, and Musashi accompanied her.

"Brother Musashi."

On the day of the meeting, Sarutobi Shinnosuke caught sight of Musashi holding the little princess in the crowd, and squeezed through the crowded crowd to come to Musashi.

Among the Houtotos who were at the forefront of the storm, Musashi and Tsunade seemed out of place. The two were close together, teasing Asuka who was not yet a month old from time to time.

"Shinnosuke, what are you doing here?"

Musashi glared at Shinnosuke, put his index finger on Shinnosuke's forehead, and shouted angrily.

The new help is hard to say.

He is not a figure at the forefront.

As the eldest son of the Third Hokage, if the Third Hokage continues to rule for another ten years, he might be able to become one of the candidates. As a minor, he has been recommended as a candidate from time to time, which makes him miserable. .

"Brother Musashi," Shinnosuke stuck out his tongue.

Only in front of Musashi would he reveal the character that a child of this age should have, and that he was not mature enough.

Musashi understood,

Shinnosuke came here deliberately to get close to him, just to show it to the other bosses.

"You boy."

Musashi pursed his lips, but in the end he did not have an attack. Instead, he picked up the little princess and brought it to Shinnosuke.

"Wow, she's so cute."

Asuka's face was long and fair, with two big eyes. She looked at Shinnosuke curiously, which made Shinnosuke's heart melt at Asuka's cuteness.

"Only allowed to look, not allowed to touch."

Seeing Shinnosuke extending his hand, Musashi quickly twisted his waist and shouted.

"If you touch it, you won't lose a piece of meat."

Shinnosuke mumbled and shouted dissatisfied.

"No, you have bacteria on your hands. What if my baby gets infected!"

"Bacteria? What are bacteria?"

Shinnosuke asked with a confused look on his face. Tsunade could probably understand what bacteria were, but the bacteria had not yet been officially named, so she also showed a curious expression.

"The meeting has begun, stop making trouble, stop making trouble."

Every time a new word came out of his mouth, especially new words related to medical knowledge, it would make Tsunade ask questions and make Musashi's head growl.

The Hokage's assistant opened the door to the conference room, and the big guys rushed in.

On the high platform, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave a brief opening speech before giving up the hosting duties to Koharu.

There are unwritten rules in any workplace. Even if it is Hokage, the impeached Hokage must abide by the unwritten rules and cannot directly appoint the next Hokage.

In fact, he can directly appoint, but if the successor he appoints does not get everyone's support, it will only plunge Konoha into chaos.

on the high platform,

From the moment Musashi entered the door, Princess Meiwa never took her eyes away from Musashi.

There are all big guys here, how can Meihe escape from everyone's attention.

Everyone glanced at Musashi Kazumi and the princess, but no matter how they guessed, they could not connect the relationship between the two.

Ordinary people have almost no chance to come into contact with daimyo, and it is difficult for ninjas to interact with daimyo.

At most, he only occasionally attends occasions to protect the safety of daimyo.

"Musashi……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Musashi and suddenly recalled what happened a year ago.

At that time, Musashi was just an ordinary chuunin, but Miwa, who was still a princess at the time, asked Musashi by name to accept the task of protecting her.

At first, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think much about the small request of the princess of a country. Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even hesitate and directly agreed to Miwa's request.

But now one year later.

Musashi became a big figure who often appeared in high-level meetings, and he was also a figure promoted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

With the advent of [Steam Cannon] and [Tractor], Musashi's reputation and prestige have become higher and higher.

If he can also make great progress in terms of strength, it may not be impossible to take the position of Hokage in the future.

Looking at Miwa, a year later she became a daimyo and became the leader of the country on an equal footing with Naruto.

If they really have a secret connection.

"..." The more Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it, the more he felt frightened, and he suddenly regretted the decision he made a few days ago.

If Tsunade becomes the new Hokage, Musashi will be Miwa's person through this relationship.

If the daimyo controls Musashi, and Musashi controls Tsunade, then the future of Konoha will be very dangerous!

No!

Tsunade cannot be allowed to successfully succeed to the throne.

On the high platform, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression remained the same. Musashi could not even guess it. Just because of Miwa's gaze, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave up the idea of ​​letting Tsunade succeed him.

Unfortunately, the situation is no longer at the discretion of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

And Musashi is not alone. To be precise, Tsunade is not alone.

All the big families in Konoha have more or less received favors from the Senju family.

If the Senju family is still strong now, the major families may still be a little afraid, fearing that the Senju family will become stronger like the Sarutobi family, relying on the relationship with the Hokage.

Senju has long since ceased to exist, and has long been just an empty frame.

They are willing to repay the kindness of the Senju family at this time, and are also willing to assist Tsunade in ruling Konoha.

Even if Tsunade is not as fair and impartial as Sarutobi Hiruzen, she does not have any clan members behind her who can benefit from her connections.

In recent days, Orochimaru's high profile has been noticed by everyone.

Looking back at Tsunade, Tsunade seems to have no intention of succeeding.

The more this happens, the more the bosses favor Tsunade, because Konoha now needs a period of peaceful development. Tsunade's female identity and motherhood determine that Tsunade will not easily consider launching a war.
