Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha.

Chapter 280 Tsunade, you should be the Hokage!

Chapter 280 Tsunade, you should be the Hokage!

Just as Uchiha Izumi developed the Bloodline Limit Out Blazing Release, which had never existed in the ninja world before, he realized that his Water Contract could be converted at an even higher efficiency!

"Has the security force already started setting up in Kirigakure?"

Uchiha Ikezumi knew that the Water Pact could reflect the progress of the Land of Water's justice and order.

Now that the Water Pact is being strengthened, it means that the Land of Water should be developing according to Uchiha Izumi's plan.

Uchiha Ikezumi wasn't entirely clear on what exactly had happened in the Land of Water, but Tsunade was somewhat bewildered at this moment.

As for Tsunade, although she was shocked after witnessing the power of Uchiha Ikezumi and the Tenseigan yesterday, she was not yet the Hokage and hadn't reached the point where she couldn't sleep.

But no one knows what Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking about, because he spent the whole night in the Hokage Building pondering.

When Tsunade opened the door this morning, she immediately saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been waiting at the door for who knows how long.

"Old man?"

Tsunade looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with confusion, wondering why her teacher would come to find her on his own.

"Get ready, get ready, let's begin the process of assuming the Hokage position!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tsunade in front of him, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he remained silent for a moment before uttering these words.

"Wh-what?"

Even though Tsunade had long been prepared to take over the Hokage position, she was still a little stunned when the Third Hokage came to her door early in the morning and asked her to take over the Hokage position.

"From today onwards, Tsunade, you will be the Hokage!"

"Don't you admire Uchiha Ikezumi's sense of justice, and don't you think I'm old and incompetent?"

"Then, the position of Hokage is now in your hands. Let this old man see how you do it!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke slowly, his eyes unwavering.

After thinking about it all night, Hiruzen Sarutobi had figured it out clearly: it seemed that he really didn't need to cling to the Hokage position anymore.

"Don't we need to wait for the Jonin vote anymore? —"

On the other side, Shizune, who had gone out with Tsunade, couldn't help but chime in after hearing what Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

Did Shizune learn nothing but fake knowledge at the ninja academy?

If she remembered correctly, the Hokage was elected by Jonin and also needed to be certified by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, right?

Why did I sense something when I saw Hiruzen Sarutobi saying that if Tsunade became Hokage, she could become Hokage?

"Is it because of Koharu Utatane's death that you, old man, have become disheartened?"

Tsunade looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi thoughtfully; she already knew the truth about Koharu Utatane's death.

This time, Uchiha Ikezumi wasn't targeting Utatane Koharu. It's just that Utatane Koharu was really unlucky, running into the Hyuga clan who were trying to cause trouble, and ultimately dying mysteriously.

"I will assist you as the Hokage's advisor, or rather, I will tell you how I became the Hokage."

Whether you listen or not is your business.

"If you don't like those Root ninjas, I'll find a way to reintegrate them into Konoha."

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, saying that if handing over the Hokage position to Tsunade was a matter of personal dignity and a genuine trend of the times, then the position of Hokage Advisor was something Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to negotiate with Tsunade for.

Although Konoha has seen a lot of Hokage advisors die recently, there's still Mitokado Homura left.

Hiruzen Sarutobi ultimately had deep feelings for Konoha. Although he handed over the Hokage position to Tsunade, he clearly still wanted to observe and see how Tsunade would act as Hokage so that he could feel at ease.

"The position of Hokage advisor?"

"No problem, no problem. I don't really like dealing with those trivial matters."

"I was originally planning to have Shizune handle all those trivial matters for me after I became Hokage, but since you're willing, old man, that's perfect!"

Tsunade laughed heartily, while Shizune behind her pointed to herself with a blank expression.

She felt as if she had missed something, yet also as if she had successfully avoided a landmine.

This is Shizune's daily work, which she has never seen before. Otherwise, Shizune would only be glad that Hiruzen Sarutobi took on this task, since although Jutsuha is a village, there are really a lot of things to do every day.

The Hokage is someone who would even care if a cat went missing in the village!

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi voluntarily relinquished the Hokage position to Tsunade, Hinata and Hanabi also arrived at the place where Neji and Hinata were temporarily staying.

However, Hinata did not braid Hanabi's hair as usual today; instead, she stared blankly out the window.

For some reason, Hinata felt empty inside. Last night, she had a series of nightmares. She couldn't remember the details of the nightmares, but they were definitely not pleasant.

Hinata————

Just as Hinata was wondering where this feeling of bewilderment came from, Neji knocked on the door.

"Neji-nii, can we go back now?"

When Hinata saw Hyuga Neji, her first notice wasn't the sapphire blue Tenseigan floating behind him, but rather she grabbed Hyuga Neji's sleeve and asked him in a flustered manner.

She didn't know why, but after seeing Hyuga Neji, Hinata's panic deepened.

It was as if something really bad had already happened.

"If Hinata wants, we can go back to the Hyuga family home."

Neji looked at Hinata in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache in his eyes. After all, it was a well-known fact in the ninja world that people had a brother complex.

Before, Neji at least tried to hide it, but now that he had released the Caged Bird Seal and shouldered Hiashi Hyuga's entrustment, his eyes were filled with his brother's love when he looked at Hinata.

"And what about Father?"

Will Father come back with us too?

Hinata looked at Neji with pleading eyes; she truly hoped things could be the same as before.

If she could go back to the past, Hinata promised that she could become stronger, just as her father had said. She could also eat less and never let her father scold her again.

"Hinata, let's go outside to talk!"

Neji closed his eyes, avoiding looking into Hinata's eyes. His hands trembled slightly. After a short while, Neji opened his eyes again.

The truth about the Hyuga clan can't be kept secret. Rather than letting Hinata find out about the Hyuga clan from others, it's better for him, as her older brother, to tell Hinata the truth.

However, at this moment, Hyuga Neji secretly made up his mind that even if it was just to protect Hinata, he had to become stronger, strong enough to protect Konoha, strong enough to deal with the Otsutsuki clan on the moon on his own!

"yes----"

Hinata looked at Neji in front of her, then glanced at the bewildered Hanabi behind her, and her eyes slowly dimmed.
