Chapter 399 399 There’s a fuss

Following the sound of fast trotting footsteps, Senju Ling, who was only forty this year, walked out quickly.

I saw my eldest daughter, smelling of alcohol, lying on the ground in the entrance hall.

Angrily, she wanted to go up and reprimand her, but unexpectedly, Tsunade turned over, revealing her face that was red from drinking, and tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"……well."

Qianju Ling's dissatisfaction finally turned into a weak sigh, and said to Qianju Shengshu: "Shenshu, go boil some water, and I will clean your sister."

"Wow wow wow wow-"

About ten minutes later, an exaggerated sound of retching came from the bathroom at home.

…

…

Now the solution adopted by Konoha's top management regarding Uchiha Izuna's death is to keep it a secret.

Therefore, the vast majority of the villagers, even the ninjas of Konoha, did not know that the third Hokage had died.

Of course, the Fourth Hokage cannot have anyone sit down for the time being.

But after all, Naruto is the king of a village, and there must be one person who can take charge of the overall situation.

Therefore, although the newly elected Fourth Hokage cannot sit in the position of Hokage, one needs to be selected first to integrate Konoha secretly.

Uchiha was indeed at its peak during Senna's reign.

But just because Senna was regarded as the central figure in the family, once Senna died, everything was thrown into chaos.

Human desires are endless.

Uchiha will not be satisfied just because they have experienced more than ten years of prosperity. They hope to continue the prosperity that they have maintained for more than ten years.

Of course they want to fight for the position of the Fourth Hokage.

However, the embarrassing thing is that the Uchiha clan can't come up with anyone.

Nowadays, among the young and middle-aged generation, the Uchiha clan does not have any Kage-level powerhouses.

If I had to say it, it would be the defected super S-class ninja Uchiha Kagami.

Currently, there are barely four Kage-level people in the village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sakumo Hatake, who has reached the peak of the Kage level.

Tsunade Senju, who is at the Kage level, and Danzo Shimura, who can only reach the threshold of the Kage level.

In the end, this person doesn’t need to be counted.

The main reason is that these three people are the strongest candidates for the fourth generation Hokage.

If calculated based on the relationship with Izuna, Senju Tsunade is Izuna's disciple, and Hatake Sakumo can barely be regarded as Izuna's confidant.

But with Uchiha's arrogance, how could they openly support Tsunade or Hatake Sakumo?

After a period of discussion between Uchiha Ise and the three current Uchiha elders, the Uchiha decided to show neutrality.

Either Tsunade or Sagumo Hatake could be the Hokage, but Hiruzen Sarutobi becoming Hokage would do them no good anyway.

But secretly, Uchiha still supports Sagumo Hatake.

After all, the hatred between Uchiha and Senju is not so easy to let go of even after so many years.

It can be said that the Senju clan spared no effort to push Tsunade to the position of Hokage.

Now his father Senju Tomokazu is already a daimyo of the Land of Fire. As long as Tsunade becomes Hokage again, their Senju clan can truly reach the pinnacle of power.

For this reason, Senju's senior staff began to win over Hinata, Kaguya, Inokacho and other ninja clans, hoping that the other party would support Tsunade's appointment as the new Hokage.

Danzo Shimura, the current head of the Shimura family, can also be said to have spared no effort in supporting Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was 44 years old at this time, was much more convincing in terms of age than Tsunade and Sagumo Hatake, two brats in their early twenties.

But what's more troublesome is that Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo have the silent support of wealthy families.

As for the Sarutobi and Shimura clans behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, they have been ostracized during the many years that Uchiha Izuna has been in power, and the overall clan strength is not as good as before.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi is to be successfully appointed as the Fourth Hokage, Danzo needs to think of other ways.

…

…

Targeting the position of the Fourth Hokage.

Top management held discussions day and night.

But every time, the representatives of the three tribes couldn't help but cursed and even almost got into a fight.

Surprisingly, it is Hatake Saun's father, now the leader of the Hatake clan.

The overall strength of the Hatake clan is only average in Konoha.

But in order for his son to become Hokage, this old man in his sixties was not afraid of the Senju, Sarutobi and other wealthy clans at all.

Although there may be reasons why the Uchiha clan secretly supports it.

But he himself probably also has the mentality of success or failure.

"How can two young ninjas in their early twenties shoulder such a heavy responsibility? Uncle Hiruzen used to be the Hokage candidate appointed by the Nidaime-sama. Now that the Sandaime-sama has passed away, it is natural that Uncle Hiruzen should take over."

Sarutobi Kosuke, who is only in his twenties this year, as the rare representative of the Sarutobi clan who knows about Izuna's death, loudly discussed it at the meeting.

"Yo yo yo, are you taking Nidaime-sama's words again? Are you, the Sarutobi clan, so fond of settling old scores?"

The representative of the Senju clan, Senju Ren, sneered: "You have twenty years of old scores, so don't settle it, right? Princess Tsunade is the disciple of the Sandaime-sama, and now she has been given the name of [Sannin], but she is only twenty years old." She has had the strength of a Kage since she was young, and she is also the granddaughter of the First Hokage,"

"As for us, the Senju Clan, Princess Tsunade is the most suitable person to take over the position of Izuna-sama!"

Senju Ren said the last part, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

"Princess Tsunade will only rely on background? Then wouldn't Konoha, me, be doomed long ago?"

Immediately, Hatake Sagumo's father, the Hatake clan leader, also joined the discussion and clapped his hand on the table, "My son Hatake Sagumo made great contributions to Konoha when the Sandaime-sama was in power. In terms of strength, he is not inferior to Hiruzen-sama. Is it possible that because I, Hatake, belong to a small clan, I am not qualified to produce a Hokage?"

The situation of the discussion is getting more and more intense. Although no action has been taken, it is as fierce as a battlefield.

But as the protagonists, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hatake Sagumo, and Senju Tsunade were not present in person.

Because of this kind of thing, it is really not easy for a person involved to take the initiative to come forward.

But the only one who did not come due to this reason was Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hatake Sagumo was because his wife was about to give birth to a child.

Apart from staying in ANBU, he almost spends the rest of his time with his wife.

Tsunade, on the other hand, has not yet recovered from the shock of Izuna's death.

Every day he either went to the pub to get drunk and went crazy, or he went to the casino to spend money like water.

In the end, not only Tsunade's mother Senju Rei, but also Jiraiya, a comrade in arms, couldn't stand it anymore.

Dragging the indifferent Orochimaru into the tavern, he forced Tsunade out, and for the first time he had the courage to yell at Tsunade: "Tsunade! Look what you look like now!?"

Jiraiya pointed at Tsunade, who had a burgundy face and shouted angrily.

Orochimaru next to him had a stern look on his face. At this time, he had better not speak.

I'm not good at comforting people either.
