Hokage Tower.
Akihara Kagura and the two Hokage advisors were still in a meeting.
Tsunade pushed Shizune open the door of the office. Her eyes glanced slightly at everyone present, and her eyes fell on Akihara Kagura. Only this person was unfamiliar to her.
"Your little brat...your name is Akihara Kagura, right?"
Tsunade slowly walked up to Akihara Kagura and reached out to grab his collar: "Are you the one who sent people everywhere to kill my creditors? You are ruining my reputation everywhere!"
"I killed him."
Akihara Kagura nodded, stretched out a stack of documents and placed them in front of Tsunade, with a smile on her lips: "You are Tsunade-sama, right? What a coincidence, my subordinates also reported it to me Tsunade-sama wants to protect her creditors, do you want to see what kind of scum the new Fifth Hokage of Konoha wants to protect?"
"What's this?"
Tsunade frowned in displeasure.
However, when Tsunade picked up the stack of documents and saw familiar names, her face couldn't help but change color slightly, because the contents of these documents were the guilt of those creditors.
Those who run casinos or loan sharks in the ninja world will inevitably have some blood on their hands. Their purpose is to make money, and they will do anything to make money. Who would think that they are innocent or that they are cheating? Money for charity?
According to these documents, the creditors lured ordinary villagers into gambling in casinos, and eventually made it impossible for these innocent villagers to pay off their debts through high interest rates. Many of them forced them to sell their wives and have children, and murder and abuse have become the norm.
This is normal.
Because some industries in the ninja world are legal.
Almost every casino is surrounded by corresponding tricks. Step by step, these creditors turn ordinary people around them into slaves under their control.
Because the system of the ninja world is still feudal, the actions of these casino owners are legal here, but no one can find out what is illegal about them.
However…
Tsunade could see how harmful their crimes were in the documents.
"..."
Tsunade's expression was a bit gloomy and complicated.
"Tsunade-sama."
Akihara Kagura stood up, put her palms on the table, and looked directly at the Hokage who was about to succeed: "As Hokage, it is the villagers of Konoha who need to be protected, not these scum of the ninja world. I will kill them." They are already thinking about your reputation..."
In fact.
Akihara Kagura is changing the concept secretly.
Because Tsunade never wanted to protect those creditors, but to protect her own reputation. Just because of the debt problem, those creditors were connected with her reputation, which caused Tsunade to face Akihara Kagura's frontal attack without any Way to refute.
"Do you want these things to get out?"
Akihara Kagura's eyes were a little cold, and she looked more like a superior person than Tsunade: "Is it possible for everyone in the ninja world to know that the Fifth Hokage of Konoha has collusion with these villains and condones them in taking human lives..."
"Thus…"
"What is Konoha's reputation?"
Akihara Kagura stared at Tsunade, who looked a little ugly, and asked righteously: "Tsunade-sama, the first Hokage founded Konoha to protect the peace of the ninja world, not for you to protect these scum that harm civilians!"
"Tsunade-sama is not this kind of person..."
Shizune was holding a little pig next to her and shivering in fear.
"I see…"
Tsunade sighed quietly in her heart.
Even though she knew from Jiraiya that when she returned to Konoha, she might have differences in style with Akihara Kagura and there would be internal strife, but she didn't expect that this future political opponent would be so difficult to deal with and come directly to her. A show of force.
these files…
It was prepared by Akihara Kagura in advance.
This means that this guy has long thought that he would blame him for the murder of his creditor, so he prepared these documents in advance just to take the opportunity to fight back.
Disputes within Konoha…
It’s really endless!
Tsunade couldn't help but lament the reincarnation of fate. It was Sarutobi-sensei and Danzo Shimura, and now it's her and Akihara Kagura's turn...
but…
He is the Hokage!
"Don't give me another idea!"
Tsunade put down the paper in her hand and raised her head to meet Akihara Kagura's gaze: "I just want to maintain my reputation, not to protect them. Even if I want to kill them, it will have to wait until I pay them back. Let’s talk about our debts!”
"Furthermore, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha owed money to a creditor, but asked the ninjas in the village to kill the creditor. This behavior is more obviously damaging to the credibility of the village, right?"
Tsunade looked at Akihara Kagura and asked in a deep voice: "In this case, will anyone dare to come to Konoha to issue a commission? If I succeed and become the Fifth Hokage, but still pay back the money, then there will be More people trust Konoha's credibility..."
"You have a point."
Akihara Kagura seemed to have been persuaded by Tsunade. She sat down and took out a piece of paper and a pen and handed them to Tsunade: "Then please ask Tsunade-sama to write down a list of your creditors. , I will send people from the root to pay off the debt, and then kill them after paying off the money..."
"..."
Tsunade's forehead jumped.
On the way back to Konoha, Tsunade heard Jiraiya mention that his disciple Akihara Kagura was a very extreme person, but he was also very obedient...
Now…
Tsunade really saw it.
It is true that this little guy named Akihara Kagura acted in extreme ways, and he really listened to the advice, but after listening to the advice, his methods became even more extreme!
The ninjas of Konoha directly pay their debts first and then kill people. Are they obviously going to use killing methods to warn other people in the ninja world not to take money they shouldn't touch?
This method…
It would be better not to repay anything and just kill the creditor!
Tsunade glanced at Akihara Kagura with a strange look, sighed and said: "This is my private matter, I will solve it myself, and I won't bother the people in the village to interfere..."
"Tsunade-sama."
Akihara Kagura shook her head and said very sincerely: "When you are appointed to succeed Hokage, it already means that your private affairs will not be your private affairs..."
"Because you represent Konoha, you must not make any mistakes. Every mistake will bring huge losses to Konoha..."
"Then I quit!"
Tsunade simply stacked the picks and flipped the table!
"Let you be the Hokage!"
Tsunade patted Akihara Kagura on the shoulder, as if being unofficial was a piece of cake, and turned against Akihara Kagura: "You are so responsible, so I let you be the Hokage, lest you have any dissatisfaction..." "
"Calm down, Tsunade!"
Mito Monobu hurriedly started to persuade: "The fact that you will succeed the Fifth Hokage has been notified to the daimyo, and you will soon accept the daimyo's appointment..."
"We are also going to issue an order to prepare for the succession ceremony..."
When they went to bed, Koharu also started to persuade him, not wanting to allow Tsunade to refuse.
Akihara Kagura serves as Hokage's assistant. Neither of them can stop Akihara Kagura from doing wrong things. Once Akihara Kagura becomes Hokage, they will definitely be unable to stop Akihara Kagura from doing wrong things!
"This is a collective decision made by the village's top leaders..."
Akihara Kagura quickly shook her head, Tsunade must succeed Hokage, because Tsunade's successor as Hokage may bring powerful medical properties.
and…
What a match!
Tsunade, her future boss, can actually flip the table!
at this time…
I definitely want to kick off all the tables and chairs!
Akihara Kagura seemed aggressive when speaking, but her words showed her support for Tsunade's successor as Hokage: "Tsunade-sama, please don't lose your temper. If you still think you are a ninja in the village, if you still want If you take on the responsibility of protecting Konoha, don't avoid appointments from the village's top management in this way..."
"..."
Tsunade looked at Akihara Kagura's expression and felt a little dazed.
Is this guy trying to criticize someone, or is he really trying to protect Konoha?
If Akihara Kagura didn't want her to become Hokage, shouldn't she take the opportunity to find a way to kick herself out? Why do you still firmly support yourself as Hokage?
After all, what he said means that if he doesn't become the Fifth Hokage, he doesn't recognize himself as a ninja of Konoha and doesn't want to take on the responsibility of protecting Konoha...
like…
This little guy isn't that bad?
Is everything really for Konoha? Is his personality just a little too extreme?
"Tsunade-sama."
Akihara Kagura said in a deep voice about her sacrifice: "In order for you to succeed as Hokage, all the ninjas in the root are mobilized to clean up any scum that may hinder your reputation. Two Hokage advisors and I are still discussing here when to clean up those scum. If the nobles who don't approve of your succession as Hokage, or even the Daimyo of the Fire Country disapprove, we can assassinate them..."
"..."
Tsunade's fingers trembled.
Kill the daimyo!
This has never happened before!
Tsunade has already seen many big scenes, and she was a little frightened by Kagura's words at this time!
Did this guy named Kagura go to such lengths to make her succeed Hokage? No normal person would want to kill a daimyo, right?
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Mito Monohan coughed violently and said repeatedly: "Kagura, killing the daimyo would be a bit too much..."
After going to bed, Koharu also frowned and began to persuade: "If the nobles really don't agree with Tsunade's succession, we agree that you should clear out those nobles and forget about killing the daimyo. Besides, the daimyo himself also agrees with Tsunade's succession as Hokage. of…"
"Okay, okay, I get it, it's so troublesome!"
Tsunade sighed and waved her hands repeatedly to show that she understood what they meant: "I will succeed the Fifth Hokage. Those nobles who oppose me, I will talk to them personally. The higher-ups in the village don't have to use this method to them. Extreme measures..."
"Killing them will do no harm."
Akihara Kagura shook her head quickly and continued: "Their opposition to Tsunade-sama's succession to Hokage this time means that any proposals put forward by Tsunade-sama on the political situation of the Land of Fire in the future may be rejected by them..."
Akihara Kagura talked about the harm of these nobles to Konoha, without mentioning that these nobles refused Tsunade to succeed as Hokage, mostly because the Konoha ninjas cleaned up the casinos set up by the nobles, harmed their interests, and cut off their plunder. channel of wealth.
Tsunade could understand all this.
"I'll convince them."
Tsunade frowned and rejected Akihara Kagura's proposal, and continued: "All this is because our people killed their people, which caused their interests to be damaged..."
"wrong!"
Akihara Kagura interrupted Tsunade and continued coldly: "The origin of all this is because they secretly supported other people to open casinos, causing Tsunade-sama to owe too much gambling debt..."
"Actually, it's me..."
Tsunade waved her hands, blaming the mistake on herself, not wanting to blame it on her hobby.
"It would be great if Tsunade-sama realizes his mistake."
Akihara Kagura nodded immediately and continued: "From today on, I hope that Tsunade-sama will not go further down the wrong path, and that after you succeed as Hokage, you will not let others know that you have done any behavior that is not in line with your status... "
"When you become Hokage, won't you be able to gamble anymore?"
Tsunade was a little dissatisfied and looked at Akihara Kagura angrily.
"Naruto can have his own hobbies."
Instead, Akihara Kagura nodded and agreed, but added another condition: "However, in order to focus on the image of Hokage, people cannot know that the Fifth Hokage of Konoha is still a gambler, and the Anbu and Genbu will clear up some knowledge. By…"
"!!!"
Tsunade glanced at Akihara Kagura in disbelief.
After gambling, Anbu and Genbu killed people directly in the casino. How could he dare to gamble with other people? Which casino would dare to let her in?
although…
No casino dares to let her in now.
"Tsunade, this is all for Konoha."
Koharu and Mito Kaden, who were transferred to the dormitory, agreed with Akihara Kagura's opinion. They also did not want Konoha's Hokage to be a gambler, which would indeed affect Konoha's image.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has been in power for nearly forty years and has left a loving and gentle image of Hokage in Konoha. The Will of Fire that has only been passed down can never be ruined by Tsunade's hobbies and the common people in the village's view of Hokage.
"troublesome…"
Tsunade muttered impatiently, walked to the Hokage's desk and sat down, and continued nonchalantly: "Okay, let's not mention whether I will gamble in the future. Those nobles who oppose my succession as Hokage You don’t have to worry about it, I will handle it myself!”
After Tsunade finished speaking, she looked directly at everyone present, her eyes resting on Akihara Kagura: "This is the first order I gave when I came back. Just obey my orders, Akihara Kagura, I am the Hokage... "
"Tsunade-sama, you will regret this."
Akihara Kagura returned Tsunade's eyes firmly.
this moment…
The atmosphere in the office is a bit strange.
"this…"
"this…"
When they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoren both frowned and looked at each other. The two consultants felt that this scene was vaguely familiar.
How…
Nothing seems to have changed?
The two Hokage advisors often saw this scene during the reign of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, and now they saw this scene again just after Tsunade returned...
There really is nothing new in this office...
No.
There is still something new.
Because there are still differences between Akihara Kagura and Shimura Danzo.
"I want to propose something here."
Akihara Kagura looked at Tsunade and put forward her own opinion: "Tsunade-sama, as the Hokage's assistant in the village, we cannot allow a Hokage to act arbitrarily on the wrong path..."
"Tell me what you think."
Tsunade could not allow the Hokage Assistant to make suggestions at this time, nor could she replace a Hokage Assistant due to different opinions, especially since this Hokage Assistant was very powerful and was the backbone of Konoha's strength.
"I demand the resurrection of all generations of Hokages!"
Akihara Kagura looked at the two consultants next to him and mentioned his thoughts: "Please allow me in the village to use the art of reincarnation from dirty soil to resurrect the past Hokages in the village!"
"On the one hand, this is to prevent Orochimaru from resurrecting the past Hokage first, causing us to be controlled by others when facing Orochimaru's invasion in the future..."
Akihara Kagura looked at Tsunade, aiming directly at the fifth generation Hokage who was about to succeed: "On the other hand, the previous generations of Hokages have governed Konoha for many years, and they will jointly assist in governing Konoha to prevent the fifth generation Hokage from traveling in the village. Wrong step!"
First update!
Low-level struggles often adopt high-level fighting methods!
