After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

So it seems that the higher-ups have actually begun to doubt Senior Sakumo!

Yusuke sat at home, frowning as he listened to Yuhi Shinku's report. He couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, this is the Konoha high-level that I'm familiar with!"

"Yusuke, stop kidding. It's inconvenient for Shikama to come see you, and he can't figure out how to resolve this situation."

Yuhi Shinku smiled bitterly and shook her head helplessly as she spoke, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

Yusuke waved his hands helplessly, with a helpless look on his face, and said: "However, what can I do? If I guess correctly, my teacher seems to have a lukewarm attitude towards me during this period."

"Yusuke, after all, you are the only disciple of the Third Hokage who currently holds real power. Maybe he just wants you to have a good rest." Yuhi Shinku patted Yusuke's shoulder, trying to comfort him.

"Do not."

Yusuke touched his chin unconsciously, frowned, and said thoughtfully: "I suddenly remembered something. I have some guesses, but I haven't confirmed it yet."

"Yusuke!"

Uchiha Fugaku's slightly anxious voice came from outside the door. Yusuke moved his fingers slightly, and the door slowly opened.

Uchiha Fugaku walked in with a worried look on his face. Before he even sat down, he hurriedly said, "It seems that Danzo has recovered!"

There were sparks of anger in his eyes and his hands were clenched into fists.

"How did you know?"

Yusuke's expression did not show much surprise. He had long known that it was impossible for Danzo Shimura to withdraw from the stage of power just like that. The only uncertainty was the issue of time.

"The guards saw him entering and leaving the Hokage building openly."

Uchiha Fugaku sat down on the chair, picked up someone's teacup in front of him, and took a big gulp, as if this could suppress the anger in his heart.

"Perhaps, your guess is right."

Yusuke took out two cups again, washed them carefully, and then gently placed them in front of Uchiha Fugaku and Yuhi Shinku, and took away the cup that Uchiha Fugaku had just drunk from.

"Fugaku, at this time you must calm those clan members who know about this. You should be well aware that Danzo has risen again and he could infiltrate your clan again at any time. His hatred for your clan may be even deeper than before."

Yusuke crossed his arms and spoke calmly.

Yusuke looked at the two worried people in front of him, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he comforted them softly: "Don't worry, the current situation is not that tense yet."

"Shinku, let's go visit Sakumo-senpai at his house tomorrow."

Before Yuhi Shinku could reply, Uchiha Fugaku spoke first: "The village will hold a clan leader meeting tomorrow afternoon. Senior Sakumo, as the clan leader of the Hatake clan, will definitely attend."

"Then let's go another day."

Yusuke shook his head helplessly and sighed inwardly.

"Fugaku, if there is anything going on in the meeting, remember to report to me after it's over."

Yusuke really couldn't figure out what the Daimyo would say at the meeting. After all, he had never come into contact with a person of this level.

The next afternoon.

In an exceptionally spacious meeting room, the heads of the three families of Konoha's trump card group "Ino, Deer, and Chou" walked in together. They looked around and found that there were already more than a dozen family members present.

The patriarch of the Inuzuka clan sat upright with a calm expression; the patriarch of the Aburame clan had sharp eyes and sat quietly.

The most eye-catching ones are the Uchiha clan's patriarch Uchiha Fugaku, who has a straight posture and deep eyes; and the Hyuga clan's acting patriarch Hyuga Hiashi, who has a serious face and never smiles.

After all, the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan are the first and second blood families in Konoha. What's more, the clan leaders are all young people in their twenties.

The main seat was still empty, with Sarutobi Hiruzen and the elders sitting on the left and right sides of the main seat. Even Shimura Danzo sat next to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The three of them exchanged glances, then found a seat closer to the front and sat down one by one.

Immediately afterwards, some more people entered the meeting room one after another.

At this point, all twenty or so families, large and small, in Konoha are in place.

Everyone stared at the empty throne on the stage, their hearts filled with dissatisfaction, but in this occasion, even the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had a dark face and remained silent, so they naturally did not dare to be the first to speak out.

Everyone just sat there quietly, leaving the clan leaders in silence for a while. The Daimyo of the Fire Nation squinted his eyes, held an open folding fan in his hand, and walked slowly in from outside the door at a leisurely pace.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to stand up, and many clan leaders quickly followed suit, standing up with enthusiastic smiles on their faces.

"Our Konoha Village is truly worthy of being the number one ninja village in the ninja world. Just by seeing all of you today, I feel that I can rest assured in the Daimyo's mansion."

The daimyo sat steadily on the main throne, looked at everyone with a smile, and spoke.

"Your Majesty the Daimyo is overly praised."

Sarutobi Hiruzen followed the Daimyo's words and answered modestly.

"I know that you are all very curious about why I gathered you here. In fact, I have just ascended to the throne not long ago, so I should come to meet you, the clan leaders who are famous in the ninja world."

Then, the daimyo clapped his hands, and several maids came in one after another from the door carrying various gifts.

"I came here in a hurry, so I can only prepare some small gifts. Although you don't need them, this is also a token of my appreciation."

Just like that, the gifts were neatly placed on the desks of the clan leaders. From their unhesitating expressions, it could be seen that these gifts should be the same.

However, what was placed in front of Hatake Sakumo was something different from everyone else's. It was a piece of textile with a fire pattern printed on it.

The clan leaders of each clan stared at Hatake Sakumo's desk curiously, some tilted their heads, some frowned, and were very curious about what that thing was.

"Hehe, Lord Daimyo, I'm a little curious, what special gift did you prepare for Sakumo?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still forced a stiff smile and asked the daimyo softly.

"This is a sleeve that I specially ordered to be sewn according to the style of the Hokage robe. Although it is only half a sleeve, it is also a recognition of Konoha White Fang's strength."

After saying this, the daimyo covered his mouth with a folding fan and laughed loudly, then carefully observed the reactions of the crowd.

A half sleeve with a Naruto pattern printed on it?

The chiefs of each tribe stood up one after another, some looked surprised, some looked angry, and Shimura Danzo stood up suddenly.

His eyes widened, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted, "Damien, are you going to directly appoint the Fourth Hokage?"
