Chapter 453 Hiruzen: I was kept in the dark, and Tsunade was kept in Yan’s quilt?

Shikaku froze in place.

It's only evening now, why are you off work already?

There are so many official tasks piled up in the Hokage's office that it will take a long time to complete them even if you work overtime!

He thought Yan would be hardworking and work overtime to get things done as soon as possible.

As it turned out, he ran away a little later.

"........"

What is this thing called?

Maybe I'm too tired. I'll be fine after a few days of rest.

Shikaku could only find reasons to convince himself.

Now that Tsunade is not in the village, we have to rely on Yan to take charge of the situation.

As he expected, Yan Ye did not do anything stupid while Tsunade was away.

Everything is business as usual.

The only difference is that Yan's office is now in the Hokage's office, and nothing else has changed much.

Anyway, when Tsunade was around, Yan had full authority over all the important matters in the village.

So the escape of Tsunade, the Hokage, actually did not have much impact on Konoha.

It's just that it wouldn't sound good if it got out, so they had to issue a notice to help Tsunade clean up her mess.

The next day, the village released the latest announcement, which was related to the Fifth Hokage Tsunade and immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.

"What mission requires the Hokage to personally go out and perform it?"

"Who knows? It must be a very important mission, otherwise why would the Hokage go out in person?"

"That makes sense, but Lord Hokage is still too reckless. As the Hokage of the village, how can you put yourself in danger?"

The villagers were curious, but also worried about Tsunade's safety.

In the eyes of most people, the Hokage is the leader of the village, and even if he goes to perform some tasks personally, he needs to ensure his own safety first.

But we can't be like the Third Raikage of the Cloud Village, who lost his life just for stealing some ore from the Land of Earth.

Of course, most people don’t know these secrets.

After the announcement was sent out, not only the villagers, but even many ninjas believed it.

Everyone will only respect Tsunade more and will not have any other thoughts.

Unfortunately, Tsunade did not go on any special mission, but ran away to have fun.

"Men Yan, what's going on?"

The Third Hokage didn't look very happy. He, the Third Hokage, actually learned about such a big thing from the villagers.

So he immediately went to Mitomon En to get to the bottom of things.

What is going on here? Tsunade doesn't seem like the type of person who would do such a reckless thing.

Facing the questioning of the Third Hokage, Mitomon En himself was also depressed:

"Huruzen, there's nothing I can do about this matter. Tsunade ran away without saying a word, and that Nara Shikaku kept the news secret and only sent ANBU people to search everywhere.

You also know that at this moment, neither you nor I have the right to mobilize the Anbu, nor can we ask the Anbu for information at will."

"I didn't find out until several days later. By the time I got the news, Nara Shikaku had already sent the message to the border camp and detained me in the Hokage's office building."

"......"

The Third Hokage's face darkened instantly.

It was obvious that Nara Shikaku did this to guard against him.

To prevent him from jumping out and sitting in the position of Hokage like he did after the Nine-Tails Night.

So he secretly sent someone to invite Yan back, and at the same time detained Mito Kado En in the Hokage's office building.

By the time Yan returned to the village, it would be useless whether the Third Hokage knew the news or not.

Yan was sitting in the Hokage's office building. No matter whether Tsunade ran out to play or something really happened, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no chance to stand up and make comments.

At most, he would have a say during the election of the Sixth Hokage.

But his say is also limited, because the promotion of the daimyo is more important than that of the Third Hokage.

And the daimyo...had a very good impression of Yan.

"So Tsunade is alright?"

"No."

Mitomon Yan sighed:

"She left a message saying that she was under a lot of pressure and wanted to go out for a walk. She would be back after a while. I read the note and it was written in Tsunade's handwriting."

"Do you really believe it?"

The Third Hokage couldn't help but raise his voice more strongly.

Mitomon Yan was stunned and frowned:

"Hiruzen, what do you mean? Do you suspect that I have any relationship with Uchiha Hiko?"

"No, that's not what I meant."

Realizing that his reaction was a bit extreme, the Third Hokage hurriedly explained so as not to upset his old friend.

"I'm just worried. It's hard to be convinced by a piece of paper."

"If it was someone else who took out the note, I wouldn't believe it, but Uchiha Yan...ah."

Mizutomon En didn't know what to say.

"What do you mean?"

Mitomon En looked at the puzzled Third Hokage and said speechlessly:

“Hiruzen, you have been resting at home for a long time and you don’t know much about the village.

But do you think that with Tsunade's personality, she can easily hand over the decision-making power of the village's major affairs to a Hokage's assistant?

What's more, the other party is from Uchiha."

"Would you trust someone so much?"

Even though F4 is a whole with their interests concentrated together, the Third Hokage still has his guard up against Mito Kado En, as well as the deceased Utatane Koharu, and Shimura Danzo.

But Tsunade had no defense against Yan at all.

"......"

The Third Hokage wanted to say of course, but he couldn't say the words when they came to his lips.

Even if I told him, Mizuto Menen might not believe it.

"Are you saying that Tsunade trusts Hiko unconditionally?"

"Uchiha Hiko's home is Tsunade's second home."

After saying that, Mizuto Menen stood up and left. As for the rest, it was up to the Third Hokage to guess.

Mitomon En believed that the Third Hokage could guess it, but whether he could accept it or not was not something he could control.

The relationship between Tsunade and Hiko is one of negative distance.

Anyone with eyes can see it!

It’s just that even if everyone sees it, they will pretend not to know.

Otherwise, no matter how much Tsunade trusts Yan, she would never transfer all the power to Yan, let alone let Yan handle various important affairs of the village.

"I'm so fucking..."

The Third Hokage was stunned for a long time and couldn't help but swear. He really guessed for a long time before he guessed the answer.

Tsunade is eating young grass?

I said so.

After figuring out all the reasons, the Third Hokage couldn't help but have a row of black lines on his forehead.

No wonder when Yan said Tsunade went out to relax, Mito Kado En and Nara Shikaku believed it immediately. It turns out that I was the only one who was kept in the dark?

"Oh~~~"

After an unknown amount of time, the Third Hokage sighed:

"That's it, that's all."

Tsunade's move was undoubtedly to forcibly tie Yan together and force Yan to become a member of the Hokage faction. Even if Yan was from Uchiha, the result would be the same.

No wonder Uchiha is becoming more and more low-key and more obedient than ever before, he is avoiding suspicion!!!

While being speechless, the Third Hokage also had some strange thoughts in his mind.
