Chapter 203: Sarutobi Hiruzen Abdicates
After leaving the Sarutobi clan's territory, Chuan Feng felt relaxed.
The matter has been finalized, and all that is left is for Sarutobi Hiruzen to abdicate.
As for whether his nomination is really dispensable, Tsunade's reputation is enough.
As long as the daimyo is contacted, Tsunade's position as Hokage will be confirmed.
When they came to the street, Chuan Feng bought a nice toy for Kakashi.
He also brought some snacks for a few disciples and flew directly home.
In the martial arts hall, Shuomao was instructing the three little ones in actual combat.
Minato was standing alone, and the Rasengan in his hand seemed to have grown bigger.
"Sister-in-law."
Chuan Feng kicked away the ghost mastiff and its son who came over following the scent.
"Ouch~"
The two dogs began to express their dissatisfaction, but at worst they would let you have a good RUA after they finished eating.
"Did the talk go well?"
Naxue also knew what Chuanfeng was going out for.
"smoothly."
"Kakashi, look at the toys uncle bought for you."
Chuan Feng picked up Kakashi who was lying on the ground.
"That's good."
Naxue looked at the uncle and nephew babbling, her face full of smiles.
Chuan Feng's personality is very likable to children.
Guimao and his son circled around Chuan Feng.
"I'm really greedy."
Chuan Feng easily put Kakashi on the back of the white mastiff. The one-year-old dog had no pressure carrying Kakashi.
"Haha~"
Kakashi grabbed the mastiff's neck hair with his two little hands and smiled happily.
Chuan Feng took out two skewers of meatballs, one for each Ghost Mastiff and its son, which was fair and reasonable.
"Let's have some fun."
Chuan Feng rubbed the heads of the two dogs, and the ghost mastiff ran away with his son.
Kakashi sat very steadily on the back of the white mastiff.
"Come and eat, we'll practice later."
After Chuan Feng sat down, he stopped everyone with a shout.
Sakumo and Minato were the first to arrive, and the other three were a little slower.
Fortunately, Chuan Feng bought enough, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough for so many people.
"Teacher, is your wife going to be the Hokage soon?"
Xiaonan, relying on her cuteness, asked Chuanfeng before she even swallowed the meatball in her mouth.
"Who told you that?"
Chuan Feng remembered that he had never mentioned this matter in front of his disciples.
"My uncle told us to practice well and not bring shame to Master's wife."
"He was laughing happily and said you are very capable."
Konan repeated Sakumo's words with excitement.
"Cough cough~"
Sakumo tried to cover up his embarrassment by coughing. He was not the kind of person who would be happy just because a Hokage appeared in his family.
"Okay, don't be so harsh."
Naxue laughed secretly and patted Sakumo.
Will I die if I praise my brother?
"Your uncle has poor vision."
"Teacher, I've always been great, okay?"
Chuan Feng touched Xiaonan's head and did not forget to mock Sakumo.
"Don't be ungrateful."
Shuomao was naturally unhappy to hear him say that.
With a glare of eyes, a smokeless war is about to break out.
"I'm going to go find your teacher's wife. I'm leaving now."
Chuan Feng took advantage and quickly ran away, disappearing in front of everyone with a Flying Thunder God.
When he appeared again, he was already in the hospital laboratory.
Tsunade and Orochimaru were busy inside.
"I'm coming."
Chuan Feng pushed open the door of the laboratory and went in. Both people inside were indifferent.
"From the looks of you, you've made a deal, right?"
Orochimaru spoke first, and Tsunade didn't even bother to look up.
It seemed as if the things in the petri dish interested her more than Chuan Feng.
"Well, he agreed to everything."
Chuan Feng originally wanted to share his joy with Tsunade, but now he realizes that it seems inappropriate.
He slowly walked over to Tsunade and patted her shoulder.
"Since a mistake has been made, it needs to be made up for."
"Fortunately, he figured it out and let it go."
Tsunade paused, sighed softly, and said nothing.
"Okay, now that it's over, don't worry about it anymore."
Orochimaru was more open-minded than Tsunade and helped to persuade her.
With the comfort of Kawakaze and Orochimaru, Tsunade slowly cheered up.
......
Early the next morning.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was at home wearing his new Hokage uniform and adjusting his appearance in front of the mirror.
"Hiruzen, how about getting someone else to take your place on stage?"
At this time, Mizuto Menyan's eyes were sunken and he spoke weakly.
He knew that nothing good would happen if Sarutobi Hiruzen took the stage today.
"No need. I made my own mistake. There's no reason to let others bear the responsibility."
Sarutobi Hiruzen put on the Hokage hat, turned around and patted his old friend on the shoulder heavily.
"Yan, I'm sorry."
"There's no need to talk about this between us."
Mizuto Menyan forced a smile and accepted the current situation.
It’s just a police force, he can just go.
"Don't go, I'm leaving."
After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen went out alone and walked towards the center of the village.
There was a confession stand that he had built.
Along the way, he walked slowly, thinking about his past.
The closer he got to the center of the village, the more his smile grew. It didn't seem so bad to abdicate now.
If he continued to hold the position of Hokage for a few more decades, Konoha might become very bad.
A high platform had been built in the center of the village, and the platform was filled with villagers.
Amidst a chorus of curses, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked calmly onto the stage.
Arriving at the center of the platform, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the megaphone.
“I know people are upset with me.”
"Would you be so kind as to listen to me for a few words?"
His voice was clearly transmitted to every villager through the loudspeaker.
Maybe everyone still wants to hear how he defends himself, or maybe everyone wants to hear how he repents.
After a while, it really quieted down.
"Thank you."
Sarutobi Hiruzen bowed to the audience.
"I am standing here today, not to defend myself."
"The news you heard is true."
"I was selfish and embezzled the pension money."
"I can only apologize to you here."
"However, I promise to make up for all the funds that have been embezzled over the years."
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately admitted the crime as soon as he opened his mouth.
His words completely aroused public anger.
"Get out of here."
"You are not worthy of being Hokage."
"You vampire."
......
The villagers cursed and threw stones, eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at the platform.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't move, allowing these things to hit him sporadically.
After a long time, all the things in the audience were thrown away and he was covered in dirt.
Ignoring the dirt on his body, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued speaking.
"It is I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who am sorry for you and for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the front line."
"Today is also the day I step down as Hokage."
"I am no longer worthy of leading Konoha Village forward."
After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen said in front of the villagers.
He took off his Hokage robe, folded it, bent down and put it aside.
He took off his hat and placed it solemnly on top.
Then he bowed deeply to the villagers below the stage and did not straighten up for a long time.
From this moment on, he is no longer the Hokage of Konoha Village.
