Chapter 223 The Fifth Hokage (1)

"What the hell is this?"

Kazuki asked lazily while lying on the chair.

"notice!"

Itachi had a strange look on his face and said, "Konoha Village invites all ninja villages to participate in the succession ceremony of their fifth Hokage."

"Invitation? Succession ceremony?"

Yishu was startled and asked in surprise: "Did the previous Hokage succession have this system? I remember that it was enough to just notify them, right?"

There is no reason to invite other ninja villages to participate.

Many times, the shadow of a ninja village is only known by the family members themselves, and the outside world is not even aware of how many generations have been passed down through the family.

Just like the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village.

God knows which generation of Mizukage is in power now.

Now it has been announced to the public.

Times are changing!

Yishu was filled with emotion.

Itachi looked at Kazuki in silence.

Is your focus wrong?
You care whether there is a ceremony or not, you care whether an invitation is sent out or not, they have a new Hokage now.

The Hokage of Konoha!
This is the point, okay?

Even though Konoha has been tormented by you several times, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Today's Konoha is still a behemoth in terms of size and cannot be ignored by anyone.

After a short silence.

Itachi opened his mouth and said, "According to Konoha's notice, the fifth Hokage is tentatively designated as... Tsunade!"

"Ok?"

Yishu was startled and said, "Didn't they say that Akimichi took the wind? Sarutobi Hiruzen has been sitting at the other party's door, begging him to come out."

"no!"

Itachi frowned, obviously also surprised, and said: "We did get the news that Sarutobi Hiruzen was asking Akimichi Nofu to come out of the mountain, but Akimichi Nofu went to the Hokage's office the next day and had an argument with Sarutobi Hiruzen. The two almost fought. After a while, a message spread that Konoha was looking for Tsunade."

"Then, Konoha sent out invitations to each village to participate in their fifth Hokage succession ceremony."

Kazuki stroked his chin and said, "In other words, Konoha has not confirmed that Tsunade is the fifth Hokage."

"Correct!"

"But, they sent people to look for Tsunade first, and then announced that a new Hokage would soon take over. Their attitude was very clear. I think..."

Kazuki interrupted with a smile and said, "It should be. Sarutobi Hiruzen really wants Tsunade to come back and succeed the throne of Hokage, but what should we do if we can't find Tsunade?"

"So, the candidate cannot be determined yet. We will decide when the time comes."

"It could be Tsunade, it could be Akimichi Tofu, or even Shimura Danzo. Sarutobi Hiruzen has definitely abdicated this time!"

"Then are you ready..."

"Of course I messed with him."

Yishu smiled and said, "Tsunade is still quite capable. Although she may not be able to bring Konoha back to life, she can still extend Konoha's life. This is not very friendly to the Hidden Fire Village. Therefore, Tsunade must not be allowed to return to Konoha."

It is in the best interests of the Hidden Fire Village to let Akimichi Tofu take the position.

Will Danzo be satisfied with the old Akimichi taking over?

Moreover, it is estimated that Qiu Daoqufeng will not be able to work for a few days.

Every time the Hokage is replaced, there is turmoil.

"Do you know where Tsunade is?"

"do not know!"

Kazuki shrugged and said, "But, I know where Shizune is."

Itachi was speechless.

Bro, are you really a ninja?

Why does it feel like your private life is even more licentious than those nobles?
You can take a look and see how many there are.

Yishu showed a sly expression and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Shizune for a long time. I miss her a little bit, and she must miss me even more."

Yishu stood up and began to search for the latest news left by Shizune according to what he and Shizune had agreed upon, but he was shocked to find that Shizune and Tsunade were actually in the commercial street of the Hidden Fire Village at that moment.

"My grass!"

Yishu was dumbfounded.

What are these two women playing?
You actually came here?

He raised his head and looked at Itachi meaningfully.

"What, what's wrong?"

Itachi felt a little creepy when he was looked at by Kazuki.

Kazuki snorted and said, "Yakura has been busy with things in Sunagakure recently. Although he hasn't returned yet, he is unable to take care of things in the Hidden Fire Village. So, most of the things will be left to you, right, Itachi."

Itachi thought for a moment and said, "Considering that I am the most favorable competitor for the next Wood Shadow, I have no intention of killing you. Don't try to push the blame on me for the rebellion. I will never admit it."

Yishu: “…”

"Itachi, you've become smarter, but that's not what I want to say."

Itachi's expression suddenly became interesting: "You really have this thought? Damn, did I provoke you?"

"……It does not matter!"

"No, this is very important!" Itachi said angrily, "I am loyal to you and have devoted countless efforts to the Hidden Fire Village. You actually doubt me. Are you worthy of me?"

Kazuki looked at Itachi with a smile and said, "Not bad, you have learned a lot of my skills, but it's a pity... do you want to be beaten?"

"Please tell me!"

Itachi's expression straightened, his eyes became clear, he lowered his head slightly, and said, "Shodaime Kokage-sama!"

Can't beat it!
There is no way!

"Well!"

Kazuki nodded and said, "Who is responsible for the security of the Hidden Fire Village recently?"

"My father! Uchiha Fugaku!"

"Then go and ask your father why Tsunade and Shizune came to the Hidden Fire Village, but they didn't find anything."

Kazuki chuckled and said, "Shizune is fine, but Tsunade has such obvious features, so many obvious features, how can you not find them? What are you doing?"

Itachi was startled, finally understanding the origin of Kazuki's strange expression.

Tsunade came to the Hidden Fire Village, but they didn’t even notice?

This is simply...

Itachi didn't know what to say.

Just like Kazuki said, Tsunade's peculiarity is so obvious, how could it not be discovered?
and!

Tsunade is such a strong ninja, but she didn't even notice it. What should we do if the other party is causing trouble in the Hidden Fire Village?
Tsunade is known for her enormous strength, and she is the successor of the Wet Bone Forest. If she really starts to cause trouble, her destructive power may not be much less than that of the tailed beasts.

Itachi walked away quickly.

Yishu closed his eyes and thought silently for a while, then he disappeared in Muying's office with a Flying Thunder God.

……

"Tsunade, Lady Tsunade..."

Shizune was trembling, fear in her eyes.

Just now, Lady Tsunade decided to play a big one.

then!

All the money they had was taken away by Tsunade.

Shizune almost collapsed.

She helped treat a lot of people to collect the money and lost it to Lady Tsunade.

That's fine, the biggest problem is...

They still owed a lot of money.

According to Lady Tsunade, a big one would make back the money owed.

Jingyin expressed strong opposition on the spot.

Unfortunately, the gap between A and the Big Mac is too big.

Shizune couldn't even last a single round before being defeated by Tsunade.

Tsunade looked at the cards in front of her and was speechless.

He had clearly calculated everything, but the result was still this.

Just like a judgment question, there are only two answers, right or wrong. Even if she is asked to do a hundred of them, she will be prepared to choose the wrong answer.

This is no one.

"Shizune, take the money!"

Looking at the malicious looks around her, Tsunade slammed the table and yelled.

Silence: "..."

I don’t have the ability to turn stone into gold as Yishu said!
I really have no money left!

笨！
Tsunade muttered in her heart: I asked you to take the money, you don’t really think that I want you to take the money, I am...

Well!
Tsunade suddenly felt a palpitation, as if something bad was about to happen.

Her expression changed slightly, and suddenly, she pulled off her necklace and shouted, "I'll put it on and bet another round!"

"Tsunade-sama!"

Shizune's face completely changed this time, and she exclaimed.

It doesn't matter how much money you lose.

Both of them are the best medical ninjas who spend money quickly and make money quickly.

As long as they are given a little time, it won’t be long before they can accumulate amazing wealth.

But! This necklace cannot be gambled!
What if I lose this?
The necklace of the first Hokage is of great significance.

and!

This stuff is super valuable!
"Shut up, Shize!"

At this moment, an irresistible aura suddenly surged from Tsunade's body.

It was like a female general giving orders on the battlefield.

While Shizune was stunned, the gambling game started again.

Tsunade is one of them.

A few big men are on the other side.

They are very relaxed.

Will I lose if I bet against Tsunade?
Not at all!

I can win with my eyes closed.

The legendary big fat sheep, this reputation is definitely not in vain!
A few people laughed, and then the smiles froze on their faces.

Lost!

They actually lost!

Lost to the legendary big fat sheep?

How can this be?

Several people widened their eyes.

"Cheating, you definitely cheated!"

A big man couldn't help but scream.

They couldn't accept losing to the big fat sheep.

Jingyin couldn't help herself and stepped forward to argue loudly with the other party.

Get rich!
Because it was Tsunade, the other party didn't care how much they pressed. In a word, I would follow you no matter how much you press.

So, Shizune felt that their happiness had come.

Lady Tsunade's move was equivalent to winning back all the money she had lost in the past.

Is there anything happier than this?
There is no good or bad at all!
No money?
You try it!

Do you really think I, Shizune, am easy to bully?

Not only am I a jonin, I also have a man who is a shadow. I'll find him and show you how to deal with you.

So vigorous and full of vigor!

Jingyin was full of fighting spirit.

However, she did not notice that Tsunade's expression became even uglier at this moment.

I won money. Not only was I not happy, it felt like my mom had died.

Because the premonition came true.

I just had a very bad feeling and took a gamble, but who knew it would turn out to be true.

"Looks like a big guy is coming!"

Tsunade's expression turned cold.

The person who could make her so uncomfortable must be very strong, much stronger than her.

That's why she took out the necklace and took a gamble.

He had never felt such extreme danger before.

Tsunade suddenly stood up and shouted: "Shizune, let's go..."

"Snapped!"

A hand gently patted Tsunade's shoulder, and she was standing up, then sat down again.

"What's the rush!"

A gentle voice sounded, saying: "How about I make a bet with you?"

The casino suddenly became quiet.

Some people seem to have a certain aura.

When he appears, the attention of people around him will be unconsciously attracted.

Uchiha Kazuki is such a person.

His aura was so strong that when he appeared, people in the casino found it extremely difficult to breathe.

It felt like a huge rock was pressing on my heart.

There is only one exception.

mute.

She looked at Kazuki, her eyes sparkling.

Finally I met my dear.

"Uchiha, Kazuki!"

Tsunade's heart sank, and she asked, "You actually discovered us?"

"Tsunade-sensei, I underestimated you."

Yishu sighed and said, "You can be more confident in yourself. If you come to the Hidden Fire Village, won't I be able to find you?"

"I can spot you from a distance!"

Mainly because the target is too big.

Tsunade: "...I always feel something is wrong with what you said."

"you win?"

Kazuki looked at the card table and said with a smile, "How strange that even Lady Tsunade can win. It looks like something bad is going to happen."

Tsunade looked at Kazuki in silence.

She didn't know what to say to this disciple.

The other party's changes are really huge.

It seemed as if they were still laughing yesterday.

Now, the other party is the Kage, the first Kage who founded a ninja village.

Looking at the entire ninja world, the opponents are all top figures.

and!

The other party achieved supreme fame by stepping on Konoha.

This made Tsunade even more unsure of how to face the other party.

She has complicated feelings towards Konoha and always feels that Konoha is no longer the Konoha in her memory.

The changes in Sarutobi Hiruzen and others are also terrifying.

but!

That was grandpa's hard work.

"It seems that the teacher doesn't want to gamble, so let's talk!"

Yishu smiled, waved to Shizune, and said, "Come on, I'll buy you a drink!"

"But……"

Shizune glanced at the big men.

She has not yet asked for the money she owes.

She has been losing all the time, and this is a rare chance to win, so she must get the money.

"Don't worry, my Anbu will collect the debt for you!" Yishu laughed and said, "I promise, I will get it back for you."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several big men turned pale.

They both recognized who the other was!

The Hidden Fire Village is not like Konoha, which created a Shadow Rock but ended up with something even bigger.

Full body portrait!
Itachi himself wanted to make it more formal and serious, but Kazuki insisted on designing it himself, yelling that he had a good idea.

At that time, many people had a bad feeling in their hearts.

Until they saw the entity, they all fell silent.

Why would a person who never wears sunglasses be made into a statue wearing those things?

Also, what is that wrapped around his body?
Why does it feel weird...

At least, it's a little weird in the ninja world!
Yishu just said softly: "This is my occasional, Michael..."

……

At least, after seeing the real person, you will find that the statue is a bit like the real person!

Several big men recognized him.

Therefore, they could only hope that the necklace was not as expensive as they imagined!
"That!"

Shizune was very straightforward. She picked up the pig from the ground and followed Kazuki out of the casino.

Tsunade:"……"

Is this a direct disregard of my wishes?
You guys are really good!
"Ugh!"

With a sigh, Tsunade followed.

What if you don’t leave?
The other party was clearly targeting him.

and!

What is the other party holding?
Wine?

This tastes so good, doesn’t it?

You’d be sorry if you don’t drink it!
The three of them found a random place and sat down. Kazuki's first words made Tsunade spit out her wine.

"Tsunade-sensei, will you become the fifth Hokage of Konoha?"
