Chapter 230: The Fifth Hokage first Command is to start a War!

This situation...

It made Tsunade feel very strange.

Before returning to Konoha, Tsunade had contemplated that there might be some political struggles in Konoha, possibly focusing mainly on herself and the Hokage aide, Akihara Kagura.

But...

The political situation in Konoha...

Was far beyond Tsunade's imagination.

How could Akihara Kagura, whom she thought was a political rival, be on her side now?

Although Akihara Kagura's idea of purging the Daimyo and nobility was quite extreme, he was still siding with her against war, in contrast to the two Hokage advisors who had different opinions...

Moreover...

The newly resurrected four Hokages...

Tsunade had always believed that the four Hokages might support her, but her own great grandfather directly advocated for launching a war, and the other Hokages agreed as well. These resurrected past Hokages all stood against her, the new Hokage.

These former Hokages...

Made Tsunade feel that perhaps it would have been better not to resurrect them at all!

"Lady Tsunade."

Akihara Kagura looked at Tsunade and spoke proactively, "Now that you are the Hokage, just follow your own ideas!"

"!!!"

Tobirama glared fiercely at Akihara Kagura!

This kid was making them out to be the villains, playing the good guy himself, and thoroughly deceiving Tsunade along with Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado!

Tobirama had always thought of Akihara Kagura as a devious and despicable person, but witnessing his actions, he realized that Kagura's cunning exceeded his expectations!

But...

He still couldn't help being deceived!

Because this kid might actually come up with a plan to purge the Daimyo and nobility, which could be more dangerous than starting a war, easily causing turmoil in the Land of Fire!

All things considered...

Launching a war against the two ninja villages was actually the most beneficial plan for Konoha.

"Tsunade."

Tobirama looked at Tsunade and spoke gravely, teaching her, "As the Hokage, you absolutely cannot act arbitrarily; you must also consider correct opinions when necessary..."

"I..."

Tsunade looked a bit unwell.

Does having more people automatically make it the right opinion?

Although these people were all former Hokages, most of them her predecessors, at least they all had more extensive governance experience and had given their lives for the protection of Konoha...

"Tsunade, I understand your desire for peace."

Tobirama looked at her and advised earnestly, "But you must understand one thing, all the villages in this world are enemy states, and if you don't take the opportunity to completely suppress them now, they will eventually pose a threat to Konoha..."

"You are the Hokage."

Tobirama's voice suddenly grew louder, almost scolding, "And there is only one duty of the Hokage, and that is to protect Konoha at all costs!"

Tsunade sighed deeply and continued, "Great grandfather, I have experienced two great ninja wars, just became the Hokage, and now I must start a war, sacrificing people from our village?"

"Konoha may not necessarily have any sacrifices..."

Tobirama shook his head, his gaze shifting between Akihara Kagura and Hashirama: "Even though you have become the Hokage, your thoughts and ideas must change, perhaps this war could end in just one day, it's not impossible..."

"How could that be possible..."

Tsunade did not believe such a situation would occur.

"Your perspective is ultimately somewhat limited."

Tobirama looked at Tsunade's incredulous eyes and said coldly, "In any case, this war must be launched, Tsunade, now you need to tell me, will you agree with our collective decision, or will you continue to act arbitrarily with this kid?"

"Then we'll do as you suggest..."

Tsunade looked somewhat helplessly at Akihara Kagura beside her.

This only supporter really couldn't give her enough confidence.

Whether it was herself or Akihara Kagura, the two highest people in Konoha, they still had no way to change the current situation.

"I should have known better than to resurrect the past Hokages..."

Akihara Kagura sighed softly, his voice low enough that everyone present could hear.

"!!!"

You dare say that!

Tobirama glared at Akihara Kagura once more before looking at Tsunade: "Then announce it at your Hokage inauguration ceremony!"

"So soon?"

Tsunade was somewhat stunned.

"Speed is crucial."

Tobirama looked at Tsunade and spoke sternly, "Only by announcing at the Hokage inauguration ceremony that Konoha is entering a state of war with the Sand Village and the Mist Village can the news be communicated to the ninja world as quickly as possible!"

Only in this way...

Can it bring the greatest shock to the ninja world!

Tobirama was very aware of the benefits of doing this.

Because Konoha has the combat power of two God of Ninjas, other enemy states might receive the news a bit slower, perhaps simultaneously receiving news of Konoha declaring war on the two ninja villages and the two ninja villages surrendering to Konoha, thereby thoroughly deterring everyone in the ninja world!

Afternoon.

In front of the Hokage building.

Many villagers from Konoha came to observe Tsunade's inauguration ceremony.

As a former member of the Legendary Sannin and the strongest medical ninja, Tsunade's ceremony attracted many people who admired her, each standing below the Hokage building waiting for Tsunade to appear.

"I didn't expect it to be Granny Tsunade becoming the Hokage!"

Uzumaki Naruto pouted slightly, still somewhat upset that his position as Hokage was taken, although he also knew that he was not yet capable of being the Hokage.

"…"

Uchiha Sasuke was not interested, his gaze only surveying the top of the Hokage building, hoping to see Akihara Kagura.

The head of the Root...

At least he should issue some strong missions to train himself, right?

Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists; he was determined to prove in the Root that he would not be inferior to Uchiha Itachi, he would surpass Uchiha Itachi!

"Lady Tsunade..."

A group of female ninjas crowded together, loudly cheering Tsunade's name.

After all, Tsunade was also the most famous female ninja in Konoha, and her admirers were mostly female ninjas, such as Tenten from Team Three who was mixed in the crowd, her face full of anticipation waiting for Tsunade's appearance.

Tenten greatly admired Tsunade.

In order to become a ninja like Tsunade, Tenten even went to learn medical ninjutsu, but failed even the tests and was cruelly rejected by the medical class.

"It really is lively..."

Hyuga Neji looked around at the crowd, his gaze quickly meeting someone, a figure whose face showed a hint of worry.

Hyuga Hiashi.

The head of the Hyuga clan.

This head of the Hyuga clan had once received a promise from the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, but had offended the Hokage aide Akihara Kagura, and then the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen died...

Hyuga Hiashi knew Tsunade, knew some of her stories of saving people on the battlefield, and believed that Tsunade would not break the Third Hokage's promise.

Hyuga Hiashi just wanted to talk with the new Fifth Hokage Tsunade, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any opportunity, instead, he heard some disturbing news...

The main house of the Hyuga clan was also nobility.

He heard that Tsunade, the new Hokage, had a fiery temper and had purged some disobedient nobles of the Land of Fire at a meeting, her actions after assuming office being extremely strong and extreme...

The Hyuga clan...

Must they also obediently follow her?

Compared to that, other families also felt a bit strange.

The head of the Nara clan, Nara Shikaku, was the leader of the Jonin Squad and theoretically could attend the ceremony on the Hokage building up close, but he was stopped by the village's Anbu and Root ninjas, making Nara Shikaku feel that something was off.

"There are people on the rooftop of the Hokage building..."

Nara Shikaku looked up at the Hokage building, becoming suspicious: "Is it just that these people are not convenient for more people to know, or is there going to be something significant happening at the Hokage inauguration ceremony?"

On the rooftop of the Hokage building.

The only spectator was Jiraiya.

When Jiraiya saw the four Hokages, he couldn't help but be startled, his gaze lingering on his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen and his student Minato.

"Jiraiya..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face showed a gentle smile.

"Teacher..."

Jiraiya sighed in his heart.

"Jiraiya-sensei!"

Minato was clearly happy, waving at Jiraiya and greeting, "Long time no see! Have you come up with any new works recently, Jiraiya-sensei?"

"Ah... nothing much..."

Jiraiya rubbed his forehead, mentioning Naruto to Minato: "By the way, Minato, I want to take Naruto as my disciple..."

"That would be great!"

Minato was very pleased with his teacher teaching his son, because he knew Jiraiya was an excellent ninja, and he would definitely be able to teach Naruto to be an excellent ninja as well!

Probably...

Kushina would also agree, right?

Although Jiraiya was frivolous and had a bad temperament, Naruto was his and Kushina's child, and he should be on the right path, right?

"Too bad..."

Minato's face showed some regret.

"Do you want to see Naruto?"

Jiraiya guessed Minato's thoughts.

"Hahaha..."

Minato laughed a bit embarrassingly: "After all, he is the child of me and Kushina... but I have never fulfilled my fatherly duties..."

"It's not your fault."

Jiraiya sighed deeply, patting Minato's shoulder.

Just as they were reminiscing here, Tsunade walked out dressed in a robe, wearing the Hokage's hat on her head, her face clearly not showing any happy expression.

"What's the matter?"

Jiraiya was curious and looked at Tsunade, then at Kagura following beside her: "Kagura, what's going on with Tsunade?"

"You'll know in a while..."

Kagura shook his head, his face showing some helplessness: "It's a troublesome matter, I didn't expect resurrecting the past Hokages would cause such a big problem..."

"I am Tsunade!"

Tsunade stood in front of the railing on the rooftop of the Hokage building, loudly announcing her succession: "From today, I will serve as the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!"

"Lady Tsunade!"

"Lady Tsunade is really beautiful!"

"Lord Hokage!"

The crowd below was loudly cheering their new Hokage!

Tsunade still stood in place, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, her eyes gradually dimming down, these villagers were so vividly lively at this moment...

But...

She must announce the next command!

"Now I announce the first Hokage command!"

Tsunade steadied her chest, loudly commanding: "I will avenge the deceased Third Hokage, and hereby declare war on behalf of the Mist Village and Sand Village!"
