NARUTO- CH-161. The Right to Interpret the Will of Fire
Added 2025-01-22 07:58:11 +0000 UTC"Hiss! It hurts!"
Jiraiya struggled to get up and said nostalgically, "It still tastes familiar."
"What? Found your child of prophecy?"
Tsunade asked with a snort.
"No."
Jiraiya shook his head and said, "You are going to be the Hokage, right? I must come back for sure."
"Okay then."
Tsunade narrowed her eyes and said, "Do me a favor. I don't like those two Hokage advisors."
"You don't want me to be the Hokage's advisor, do you? That's not possible!"
Jiraiya quickly waved his hand and said, "You know me, as a wandering dragon, the sea is my home."
Shiki glanced at him subconsciously.
Two thousand dollars for Jiraiya?
"I'm not asking you to be the Hokage's advisor. I'm going to cancel the Hokage advisory."
Tsunade explained, "Just support me."
When she was considering the Hokage's advisor before, she did think of Jiraiya. But he certainly wouldn't agree. For the sake of the Child of Prophecy, he would even refuse the position of Hokage, let alone the position of Hokage advisor.
However, as one of the three ninjas, Jiraiya's strength and prestige were not inferior to hers. With his support, the resistance from Utane Koharu and Mitokado would be greatly reduced.
"Cancel? You've really changed. You weren't this radical before."
Jiraiya was stunned, "So, your story of forcing the emperor to abdicate is indeed true?"
"Naturally."
Tsunade's eyes narrowed and she asked, "Do you have any objections?"
"The old man has worked hard for half his life, why not give him a dignified exit?"
To be honest, when Jiraiya first heard the news, he blamed Tsunade a little. Because Sarutobi Hiruzen is their teacher and has done them a favor. Even if this is the case, they shouldn't force him to abdicate and embarrass him.
"I also wanted to help him look decent, but he didn't give me a chance."
Tsunade threw out a folder and said, "Take a look for yourself."
Jiraiya caught it, opened it curiously, and began to read. After a few seconds, his expression became serious.
"It's confusing."
After reading it, Jiraiya said with great sorrow, "How could the old man allow such an experiment?"
He now understood Tsunade's behavior. Although her personality was not extreme, she would naturally get angry when she encountered something like the Wood Release experiment that touched her bottom line. After all, Wood Release has unimaginable meaning to her.
"How is the old man now?"
Jiraiya asked with a sigh.
"Retirement and pension."
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "This is the best ending."
Jiraiya nodded and said, "He has been in the position of Hokage for too long. He really deserves a rest."
Since Konoha was founded, there have been five generations of Hokage. The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, reigned the longest.
At this time, Shimura Danzo spoke.
Where in the world can there be a Hokage who can assist for sixty years?
He dreamed of Sarutobi Hiruzen dying suddenly.
"Come with me to attend the Hokage succession ceremony and the Jonin meeting later."
Tsunade finished speaking, then remembered something and said, "This is my student, Aburame Shiki."
"Uncle Jiraiya."
Seeing this, Shiki greeted him.
"You actually accepted a disciple? That's really rare."
Jiraiya looked Shiki up and down and said with emotion, "It's been a long time since we last met. Tsunade, you really feel strange to me."
"People change all the time."
Tsunade glanced at him and said.
"Indeed."
Jiraiya thought of Sarutobi Hiruzen. When he was young, he was known as a ninja hero, but now he can't even manage a single root.
"By the way, do you have any news about Orochimaru?"
Jiraiya's face showed anticipation.
"No."
Tsunade shook her head.
She knew that Jiraiya had always wanted to bring Orochimaru back to Konoha. But that's impossible. She knew Orochimaru's character very well. Once you decide on something, you will never change it.
"Hokage-sama."
Uzuki Yugao's voice came from outside the door, "The inauguration ceremony is ready."
"Let's go."
Tsunade stood up and put on the white divine robe. Behind her, the words "Fifth Generation Hokage" fluttered in the wind.
"Manuscript."
Shiki warned.
"It's too much trouble!"
Tsunade got a headache looking at the densely packed words.
She pushed open the door and came to the railing of the Hokage building. Outside was a crowd of villagers. When she came out, there was a burst of cheers. Many ninjas also noticed Jiraiya and were all surprised.
In this way, except for the defected Orochimaru, the three ninjas of Konoha can be said to be gathered together.
Tsunade raised her hand. The sound suddenly became quieter. Everyone looked at her, ready to listen to her speech.
"I, Tsunade, am the fifth Hokage!"
Tsunade pulled her hand back and said, "That's it."
"Congratulations, Tsunade."
The Land of Fire Daimyo Ichikyu handed over the Hokage's bamboo hat.
"Thanks."
Tsunade casually put it on her head. The Hokage's bamboo hat represents the transfer of power. From today on, she officially became the fifth Hokage.
When the ninjas saw this scene, their expressions varied. Some are worried, while others are looking forward to it. No matter what, the next Jonin meeting will be the time for judgment. Where Konoha's future will go depends on the plans of the new Hokage.
Most people are optimistic. After all, she is one of the three ninjas of Konoha, the granddaughter of the first Hokage, and the real Princess of Konoha.
Tsunade took the speech from Shiki and said to an anbu, "You post it on the bulletin board in front of the Hokage building."
"Yes."
The anbu disappeared with the speech manuscript.
"Let's go to the meeting room."
Tsunade rubbed Shiki's head casually and handed him the Hokage's hat. This Hokage hat was uncomfortable for her to wear.
Jiraiya was slightly stunned when he saw this scene. He noticed that the relationship between the two was unexpectedly good. Because Tsunade is rarely so gentle. As a teammate, he is taken care of by Iron Fist every day. Although it was mainly his own fault, based on his understanding of Tsunade, he thought that this student was just accepted casually.
"Shiki has a good talent, right?"
Jiraiya asked as he followed Tsunade. He actually wanted to walk side by side with her, but the spot had been taken by Aburame Shiki.
"More than good."
Tsunade glanced at Aburame Shiki and smiled, "He has a better medical talent than I do."
"Is this true or false?"
Jiraiya said in shock, "I don't believe anyone can surpass you in medical talent."
