Chapter 23: Funeral in the Toki

"Xiao An, you are here."

Chen An had just stood at the door of Tsunade Senju's room when a voice came from the side and called Chen An to stop.

"Hello Mito-sama, I'm here to visit Tsunade."

Chen An looked at the swirling water calmly, then spoke.

"Then can you come and talk to me, grandma?"

Uzumaki Mito smiled and invited Chen An.

"of course."

Chen An smiled and nodded to Uzumaki Mito.

Seeing that Chen An agreed, Uzumaki Mito led Chen An with a smile and came to the living room nearby.

"Tell me, what are your plans, the Hyuga clan?"

Uzumaki Mito asked Chen An with a smile.

"Well, the Hyuga clan doesn't have so many plans. Of course, we will follow the orders of the Hokage. After all, it's all for Konoha Village."

Chen An said to Uzumaki Mito with a smile.

"Really? Then we have to thank the Hyuga clan for supporting the Hokage.

Uzumaki Mito didn't care about what Chen An said, but said with a smile.

Chen An’s words are meaningless. After all, if you support Naruto, which Hokage are you supporting?

"Okay, Xiao An. Just tell grandma clearly what the Hyuga clan is planning."

"I'm old now, and I don't want to argue with you young people, so let's just talk."

Uzumaki Mito handed Chen An a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"Since, Mito-sama has already said it, I have nothing to hide."

"If Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to inherit the position of Hokage, the first thing he must do is to bring the body of Senju Tobirama back to Konoha Village. Otherwise, he will not be qualified to inherit the position of Hokage."

"And this incident cannot be counted as the achievement of holding hands with Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others. After all, as the Hokage's bodyguards, they failed to protect the Hokage and instead escaped back on their own, which was a serious dereliction of duty."

Changan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and continued.

"The second thing. Counting Sarutobi Hiruzen, this is already the third Hokage of your Senju clan faction, so the next Hokage must no longer be a member of your Senju clan, or a disciple of your Senju lineage."

"And in order to prevent Sarutobi Hiruzen from harming the major families, a council of elders must be formed to review the tasks assigned by Sarutobi Hiruzen. To prevent Sarutobi Hiruzen from being biased. Safe tasks will be assigned to your faction, while dangerous tasks will be assigned to our Hyuga clan, a faction that is not part of the Senju lineage."

Chen An calmly stated the Hyuga clan's demands to Uzumaki Mito.

"I see. I understand. I will convey the Hyuga clan's request to Sarutobi. I hope the Hyuga clan will not go back on their word."

After hearing Chen An's request, Uzumaki Mito nodded.

With the current strength of the Hyuga clan, it is already a very simple situation to just make these two requests.

And the most important thing is that the first request of the Hyuga clan is not for their family itself, but for the face of the entire Konoha Village. In fact, this request was not made by the Hyuga clan.

"It's good that Lord Mito understands. Since the Hyuga clan has joined Konoha Village, they will think about problems from the perspective of Konoha Village and will never only care about the personal interests of the Hyuga clan."

Chen An spoke to Uzumaki Mito very calmly.

"That's it, Master Mito, I'll take my leave now."

Chen An stood up and drank the tea poured by Uzumaki Mito in one gulp, then left the Senju clan with a smile.

After Chen An left, Uzumaki Mito immediately asked someone to call Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo and other disciples of Senju Tobirama.

He informed Sarutobi Hiruzen and others about the conditions of the Hyuga clan that Chen An had mentioned.

"Are the Hyuga clan planning to betray the village? They are so bold as to put restrictions on the position of Hokage."

Danzo Shimura, who was standing by, was so angry that he slammed the table and said when he heard that Chen An actually restricted the Fourth Hokage to continue to be a member of the Senju faction.

You know, he also planned to dethrone Sarutobi Hiruzen from the position of Hokage and become the Hokage himself. If this is the case, then it would not be the turn of Danzo Shimura to be the next Hokage.

"That's enough, Danzo, if you keep making moves like that. Get out of here!"

Uzumaki Mito looked at Shimura Danzo's indignant expression and immediately yelled in annoyance.

In order to fulfill the last wish of Senju Tobirama, Uzumaki Mito used his status as an elder to force Chen An to make a promise. Unexpectedly, Shimura Danzo was still not satisfied and acted recklessly in this place.

"Don't worry, Mito-sama. Let's complete the first task first. After all, if I don't bring back Tobirama-sensei's body, I won't be qualified to inherit the position of Hokage smoothly."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uzumaki Mito calmly and said solemnly.

"It's best if you understand, Sarutobi."

Uzumaki Mito looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with satisfaction and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

To be honest, if Uzumaki Mito fully supported Sarutobi Hiruzen to take the throne, even if the Hyuga clan to which Chen An belonged opposed it, Uzumaki Mito would be able to use the powerful deterrence of his Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to make all the major families accept Sarutobi Hiruzen as the Hokage.

But in this way, the entire Konoha Village will be torn apart. All ninja clans will be hostile to the Senju clan, which will bring great hatred to the Senju clan.

Therefore, Uzumaki Mito was not willing to sacrifice the entire Senju clan's foundation for a disciple like Sarutobi.

In the original work, Tsunade Senju inherited the position of the Fifth Hokage many years later. A large part of this is because the foundation of the Senju clan still exists. Although these people no longer have the surname Senju, the relationship of marriage still exists.

The next day, Sarutobi Hiruzen met with representatives of various families in Konoha Village. Before other conditions were put forward, everyone unanimously decided that as long as Senju Tobirama's body did not return, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others would not be qualified to take over the position of Hokage of Konoha Village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to take his companions and once again set foot on the road to the Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning, hoping to get the body of Senju Tobirama back through negotiation.

Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen was lucky. After Kinkaku and Ginkaku killed Senju Tobirama, they were attacked and killed by the third generation Raikage of Kumogakure, Yotsuki Ai, who had reacted.

In order not to anger the Konoha Village, Yeyue Ai agreed to Sarutobi Hiruzen's request and returned the body of Senju Tobirama.

After all, everyone in the ninja world knows that Senju Tobirama is the master of forbidden techniques in Konoha Village and has developed many forbidden techniques.

You should know that many ninja villages have their own unique memory-reading ninjutsu, which can crack the ninjutsu that a person is good at from the ninja's corpse.

Sarutobi Hiruzen successfully brought back Senju Tobirama's body. In the presence of many families, a funeral was held for Senju Tobirama.

With the burial of Senju Tobin, Konoha Village began a constant competition for the position of Hokage.

Almost everyone started to move out, constantly trying to win over the forces of various ninja clans, wanting to become the next Hokage of Konoha Village.

The Hyuga clan did not take action because of Chen An's reminder, so they became the target of many ninja clans' vying to win over.
