Chapter 64 Taking On The Role Of Fifth Hokage? Looking For Tsunade! (Please Subscribe!)

"Ahem!"

Kimimaro covered his mouth and coughed violently, blood flowing from his fingers.

"As expected of one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja of Konoha, he is really strong."

Kimimaro's brown-black skin gradually turned white, and the power of the curse seal slowly faded away.

Ahead, Asuma's eyes widened.

Kimimaro's whip-like spine penetrated directly through his chest.

As blood flowed out, Asuma fell weakly.

Kimimaro didn't expect that Konoha's Jōnin would be so difficult to deal with.

After fighting with him for a long time, the winner was decided.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Kimimaro jumped several times and quickly reached the top of a big tree.

He looked in the direction of Konoha Village and saw a large amount of brown and black smoke rising.

"What? Orochimaru-sama was defeated!"

Kimimaro couldn't believe it, but this was indeed a signal for them to retreat.

"What happened in Konoha Village?"

Kimimaro would have been annoyed if he could have killed this ninja blocking his way earlier.

Perhaps, we can join forces with Orochimaru-sama and kill the enemy together.

Whoosh~

Regardless of his serious injury, Kimimaro quickly rushed towards Konoha Village.

On the Konoha side, due to the addition of Jiraiya and the fact that Orochimaru's hands were sealed, they retreated in embarrassment.

As a result, their morale increased greatly, and many of the "two-five-seven" ninjas who came to invade were strangled and captured alive.

The remaining ninjas also fled in panic.

After a few days, everything returned to calm.

Sasuke and everyone in Konoha attended the memorial service.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the four top brass of Konoha, Asuma, and other ninjas who died in the battle.

They were all listed as heroes by Konoha.

The reason is simple. Everyone thinks that they died at the hands of invading ninjas.

After all, Sasuke's killing of Danzo and two Konoha advisers was very secretive.

And during the operation, he also used Transformation Technique to change his appearance, so no one would suspect him at all.

It can be said that the revenge was completed without anyone noticing!

Soon, Konoha's top brass held a meeting.

Organized by Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Hiashi, Hyuga Hiashi and other ninja clan chiefs.

In addition, Might Guy, Kakashi, Yuhi Hong and other Konoha Jōnin were also present.

Sasuke didn't let Shukaku come to Konoha Village because he defeated Gaara.

His contribution was not small, so he was invited to participate.

"Lord Daimyo, this is the situation, there is no suitable leader in Konoha Village now.

"We must elect Hokage as soon as possible!"

Nara, Shikaku and others spoke to the senior officials of the Land of Fire on the screen.

The Fire Country Daimyo nodded slightly.

"Okay, who will be the Hokage now? Do you have a suitable list to recommend?"

Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Haiyi and others looked at each other and then spoke.

"We recommend Mr. Jiraiya to take charge. This time Konoha Village was able to defeat the enemy and protect the village. His contribution undoubtedly ranks first.

The others nodded.

Indeed, Jiraiya is powerful, and Sannin’s name is well-known!

As soon as he appeared, he showed great strength and shocked the enemy with thunderous means!

Moreover, with his qualifications and prestige, he deserves to be the Hokage!

None of the ninjas in Konoha had any objections!

"Jiraiya, I've heard of it too. By the way, he is the teacher of Fourth Hokage!"

"Well, it's really suitable for him to take charge, so it's decided!"

The Daimyo of the Country of Fire clapped his fan, and even the West of the Country of Destruction nodded.

"Hey, wait!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.

Jiraiya opened the door and walked in. He glanced at everyone present and sighed helplessly.

"Hokage, it sounds good, but I'm used to being idle, so I can't take on this important task."

In fact, he has been paying attention silently.

After all, recommending Hokage is the most important thing for Konoha Village.

He couldn't ignore it.

When I heard that everyone present unanimously recommended him to be the Hokage, I suddenly couldn't hold my nerve.

Just kidding, he doesn't want to be a Hokage!

It's boring to sit in the office every day and deal with so many files...

How could it be more interesting to travel around, collect materials, and appreciate the customs and beautiful scenery of various places.

Especially after hearing that the name of the Country of Fire was confirmed, he became even more speechless.

Good guy, let him be the Hokage without notifying him in advance.

In the end, the decision was made like this. Did you ask the parties involved for their opinions?

"Oh~, this is so nerve-wracking."

The Fire Country Daimyo frowned.

Jiraiya is currently the most suitable candidate for Hokage, but he is not willing!

As for the others?

The name of the Fire Nation swept through everyone, and those ninja clan leaders, whether in terms of strength or prestige, were obviously not good enough to take on the role of Hokage.

For a while, the atmosphere on the court was a little awkward.

In fact, many of the ninjas present wanted to be Hokage.

But no one spoke, whether it was the top brass of the Fire Country or the other ninja clan leaders.

Obviously, he doesn't like them.

"I do have a suitable candidate!"

Suddenly, Zi Zi opened his mouth and broke the atmosphere on the court.

"What do you think about Tsunade taking on the role of Fifth Hokage?"

Jiraiya's words made everyone present brighten their eyes.

Tsunade, also one of the Sannin!

Not only is he powerful, he is also superb in medical ninjutsu and is famous throughout the ninja world!

More importantly, he is Sun Yan from First Hokage!

Regardless of the inheritance of the Hokage position, or the strength and prestige, Tsunade is very suitable.

"But... Lord Jiraiya, the problem is that Lord Tsunade is not in Konoha Village now."

Kakashi spoke.

Others also frowned. Tsunade, like Jiraiya, was erratic.

It is not easy to find him.

"Jiraiya, do you know where Tsunade is now?"

The Fire Country Daimyo asked.

If we can find Tsunade, it would be great for her to be the Hokage.

"I don't know the exact location, but I can determine the general range of her movements!"

.

"Okay, Jiraiya, then it's up to you to get Tsunade back."

The Fire Country Daimyo spoke.

Jiraiya frowned slightly. He recently explored Orochimaru's lair and the movements of the Akatsuki organization.

Just thinking about solving this matter.

"Lord Daimyo, let me find Tsunadein!"

At this time, Sasuke suddenly stood up.

"Are you... Uchiha Sasuke?!"

"Well, Chūnin did well in the exam this time."

"By the way, I heard that during the Sagakure invasion, the tailed beast Jinchūriki was driven away by you?"

"Well, that's right!"

Sasuke nodded slightly and answered neither humble nor overbearing.

"Well, since you have this kind of strength, this task will be left to you!"

The Fire Country Daimyo nodded.

"Uchiha Sasuke?"

Jiraiya looked at him with interest. According to the intelligence, Orochimaru's next target was none other than Sasuke!

"It's really amazing to be able to drive away the One Tail Jinchūriki, the Uchiha clan."

Jiraiya thought to himself.

Not to mention Uchiha Madara, who stands at the top of the ninja world and whose name has been passed down to this day!

Even in contemporary times, Uchiha Itachi is also a ruthless character...

The awakened Mangekyō slaughtered the entire clan and became a threat even to the Akatsuki organization.

But the strength Sasuke is showing now is no less than that of Uchiha Itachi back then.

Even worse!

"Sasuke, right? Come find me after the meeting."

Jiraiya nodded at him.

Soon, the daimyo of the country of destruction severed contact.

"Uchiha Sasuke, the important task of finding Tsunade-sama will be left to you."

"Remember, this is about the position of Fifth Hokage, please complete it as soon as possible."

Nara Shikaku seemed very polite.

The other elite ninjas of Konoha also looked at Sasuke, without the slightest contempt in their eyes.

They know how strong the Jinchūriki are.

After all, the Nine Tails Rebellion in Konoha Village left an indelible impression on everyone present.

And Sasuke can force Jinchūriki back by himself.

Some of the Jōnin present might not even be Sasuke's match.

Therefore, even though Sasuke is young, they treat him more equally.

After all, in this ninja world where the weak eat the strong, strength is everything!

"Don't worry, I will get Tsunade-sama back."

"However, before setting off, please let me learn a ninjutsu first."

Sasuke suddenly spoke.

"Oh? What ninjutsu..."

Everyone was a little curious.

“Fourth Hokage’s famous stunt——Flying Thunder God Technique!”

Sasuke spoke slowly.

The others looked at each other with a trace of shock in their eyes.

After disbanding the meeting, Sasuke first found Jiraiya.

"Sasuke, you are really amazing. As Orochimaru's target, you are still safe and sound..."

Jiraiya praised.

"Your talent reminds me of Orochimaru. That guy is a genius just like you. Unfortunately, he failed to use his talent on the right path.

Scenes from the past flashed through Jiraiya's mind.

When he was under the Third Hokage, Orochimaru still seemed innocent and kind.

But the cruelty of many years of war in the ninja world made him witness too many life and death separations.

In the face of death and the temptation of eternal life, Orochimaru finally fell into darkness.

"Perhaps, if I fought him with all my strength and killed him, there wouldn't be so many troubles in the future.

Naturally, he sighed.

Then, he took out a scroll and threw it to Sasuke.

"The above is the general scope of Tsunade's activities. By the way, there is also a piece of information. Consider it a gift from me."

"intelligence?"

Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's about Uchiha Itachi. You should want to seek revenge on that guy!"

Sasuke nodded slightly.

When the four giants of Konoha, including Danzo, died, no one except Obito knew the truth about Itachi's annihilation.

Jiraiya and others can only see the surface.

"This information records information about Akatsuki, the rebel ninja organization that Uchiha Itachi joined, as well as some information about his own combat abilities..."

Sasuke nodded slightly, indicating that he had taken note of it.

Although this information was of little value to him, it was enough to reflect Jiraiya's intentions.

The two of them share the same goal of the Akatsuki organization, so they might not be able to cooperate.

Then, Sasuke turned and left.

"What a cruel guy!"

Jiraiya shook his head slightly.

However, he can also understand after experiencing the tragedy of the night of genocide.

It is impossible for a normal person not to have any changes!

That night.

Nara Shikaku and others sent the Flying Thunder God Technique. .
