Tiancai Monopoly Of Hokage

A week has passed since Konoha's collapse plan.

After Orochimaru's disguise as the Fourth Kazekage was exposed, Sand Shinobi Village discovered that the real Fourth Kazekage had disappeared.

After Sand Shinobi's search, they finally found the body of the Fourth Kazekage who was killed by Orochimaru.

At this time, they suddenly discovered.

In this whole thing, they became the target of being exploited.

This time, under the control of Orochimaru, they attacked Konoha.

It seemed like a well-thought-out plan, but unexpectedly it hit a brick wall.

Tiancai's arrangement was so detailed that it was like laying a trap, waiting for Sand Shinobi to get into it.

Under Tiancai's full force, the Sand Shinobi who attacked the village were suppressed without causing any trouble.

Most of the ninjas who attacked Konoha were killed on the spot, and the remaining ones were all turned into hostages.

Throughout the war, Sand Shinobi could be said to have suffered huge losses, with no gains at all.

The news that the Fourth Kazekage was killed by Orochimaru made Sand Shinobi even worse and became the laughing stock of all countries.

Even Orochimaru, who killed his own Kazekage, was repelled by Konoha head-on.

Sand Shinobi Village immediately recognized the great strength of Konoha.

Even if it suffered heavy losses, facing the disparity in strength, the weak Sand Shinobi Village could only grit its teeth and swallow it.

They did not dare to retaliate against Konoha and could only place their hatred on Orochi.

But Orochimaru is not easy to deal with. This time Sand Shinobi really has to swallow the bitter pill alone.

Sand Shinobi Village announced that the Fourth Kazekage was killed by Orochimaru.

Sand Shinobi Village's attack on allies was kept in the dark by Orochimaru and fell into Orochimaru's trap.

In order to avoid Konoha's revenge, Sand Shinobi Village worked hard and made a more stringent agreement with Konoha.

They packed up the Fourth Kazekage's children, the village's Jinchūriki, and took them to Konoha as hostages.

Now Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, are all hostages of Konoha.

At this time, Sand Shinobi, who was greatly weakened, had no intention of resisting when facing the powerful Konoha.

Konoha, which did not want to continue the war, did not attack Sand Shinobi Village, but accepted the surrender of Sand Shinobi Village.

After all, Orochimaru lives in the dark, and Sand Shinobi, whose strength is greatly reduced, is not a terrible enemy.

In Konoha Hospital.

In a spacious medical ward.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on the hospital bed, leaning against the pillow, listening to the medical ninja's examination report on him.

In front of him, Sarutobi Asuma, Jiraiya, Tiancai, and Kakashi were all sitting opposite them.

"In other words, I am useless now?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to the medical ninja's report and said in a cold tone.

"How can this be called waste?"

Asuma said calmly.

"You're just old. Now you're just an ordinary old man."

Asuma said carelessly.

"Now that you are old, please step down from your position as Hokage. Maybe you should learn how to be an ordinary old man."

Asuma was not too surprised that the old man was too seriously injured and had consequences.

In such a battle, for an almost 70-year-old man, it was lucky to be able to save his life.

Moreover, after serving as Hokage for so many years, the old man has long since chosen to abdicate in favor of others.

The old man has almost forgotten how to be an ordinary person and an ordinary old man.

Listen to Asuma.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Sarutobi Asuma with sharp eyes.

Seeing Asuma who didn't look away at all, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

Without the support of strength, at this time, he no longer had the ability to convince his son.

Thinking back on all the information after this war.

His thoughts fell on the safety of the village again.

"Fortunately, this time, the village's losses were not big."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with emotion.

"Relying on everyone's efforts, the village withstood the attack of Sand Shinobi Village and repelled Orochimaru at a very small cost. This outbreak allowed Konoha to deter potential enemies.

"We still have time to recover and recuperate."

Sarutobi Hiruzen appears optimistic about the current form.

"Sand Shinobi chose to surrender, and we accepted it. War is the worst outcome for both sides.

"Sand Shinobi's strength has declined, and this time it has been hit hard. Complete elimination of Sand Shinobi will only break the balance of power."

"Rather than upset the balance, it's better to maintain the status quo, where we now have the advantage."

“Time is on our side.

He looked at Tiancai and said in a relaxed tone.

"The strength of the new generation of ninjas has also been reflected. Konoha still has a bright future."

He has a smile on his face....

"I have decided that all the contestants who advance in the Chūnin exam this time will become Chūnin.

"You are all well-deserved Chūnin for being able to play a role in such a battlefield."

In this battle, except for Tiancai's efforts to turn the tide. The performance of those young ninjas also made Sarutobi Hiruzen very pleased.

These young people are the future of the village, and their growth will bring more support to the village.

"I agree with this decision."

Asuma said in agreement.

"The newcomers performed very well this time. Especially Naruto, Neji, Tiantian, and Hinata. The rescue team they formed made great contributions in this war. If it weren't for their junior qualifications, I would I believe that even if they are promoted to Special Jōnin, no one will object."

"besides."

Asuma continued, "Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Xiao Li also performed well. Although they did not show their full strength during the competition, their performance in the war proved that they are also qualified to advance to Chūnin.

Asuma did not forget to help his beloved disciple get a spot.

"That's it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen mused, "That's fine, they are all very outstanding young people and deserve this praise.

"As for Tiancai,"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes turned to Tiancai.

"Tiancai, you will become an official Jōnin. There are no rules or regulations. Your strength makes you qualified to serve as Hokage 4.8."

he added.

"Of course, Hokage is not just about strength.

Tiancai waved his hand and said in a cold tone.

"I'm not interested in spending my time reading documents and sending out tasks. Hokage is not suitable for young people like me."

Listening to Tiancai's answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With a smile on his face, he said, "If you put it this way, I suddenly feel that the position of Hokage is not suitable for young people. You have more time to grow. A tedious task like Hokage may be more suitable for old men."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his attention to Jiraiya.

"I'm old, and Tiancai doesn't want to be a Hokage. Now, you are the only one in the village who has the ability to be a Hokage.

"The village needs a new Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a firm tone.

Jiraiya waved his hand, "You'd better hire someone else.
