Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Chapter 121 It's getting cold, so add a layer of clothing.

"The old man wants me to be the Hokage. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

Tsunade disliked beating around the bush and got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, the people present looked at Tsunade with surprise in their eyes.

Tsunade is too direct.

However, Tsunade is the perfect candidate to become Hokage. In today's Konoha, it would be difficult to find someone with a higher reputation and strength than her.

Their visit also included the intention of inviting the other party to take charge of the overall situation.

However, they still looked at Nara Shikaku, waiting for his response.

Nara Shikaku, the head of the Nara clan.

He was not famous for the secret techniques passed down by the Nara clan, but for his extraordinary wisdom.

The members of the Nara clan are generally quite intelligent, with Nara Shikaku being one of the most outstanding among them.

Not only did the Ino-Shika-Cho trio take him as their leader, but he himself was also the leader of the Konoha Jonin team.

Upon hearing this, Nara Shikaku, who had already made his decision, took out the Hokage's robe that he had prepared long ago.

"Although the procedure is not in accordance with the rules, the situation is urgent and we must act accordingly. Konoha cannot be without a Hokage for even a day. I request that Lady Tsunade temporarily assume the position of Hokage. As for the Jonin election, we can arrange it later."

Even if there were to be an election, a vote would be held, and Tsunade becoming Hokage would be a foregone conclusion.

As for the opinions of the daimyo, if we trace it back a little further, it's a matter of their own family affairs.

Upon witnessing this scene, not only Tsunade and Shirakumo Aoba, but also everyone else, including Yamanaka Inoichi, looked at Nara Shikaku with strange expressions.

The Hokage's divine robes are all prepared; they came prepared.

If Tsunade doesn't want to become Hokage, should we proactively give her an extra layer of clothing?

It's been quite cold these past few days.

Tsunade didn't refuse Nara Shikaku's request and accepted the Hokage's robe.

Thanks to Shirokumo Aoba's constant whispers in her ear and the progress of her hemophobia treatment, she is no longer opposed to becoming Hokage.

How many people know about the old man's death now?

"Currently, only a few of us know about this. Should we inform others?" Nara Shikaku truthfully replied.

Tsunade pondered for a moment, "Today is the first day of the new year. I wish everyone a happy new year. I will announce this news in a couple of days, but I need to notify the Jonin team and some ninja clans in advance to facilitate our work."

"We also need to prepare for the funerals in advance. The Uchiha who died also fought alongside the old man and sacrificed their lives. They were also heroes of Konoha, and their funerals will be prepared together."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's death is hard to hide, so it's better to hold a grand funeral to show the confidence that Ōmura should have.

As for the Uchiha's arrangements, Hiruzen Sarutobi explained them very clearly in the letter.

Although the Uchiha clan ninjas who died were preparing to carry out a coup, Hiruzen Sarutobi still hoped that she could promote them as heroes of Konoha.

This was his promise to Itachi Uchiha.

That's not a difficult thing.

Now, almost everyone who knows the truth about the coup is dead, and most of the Uchiha members are either unaware of it or unwilling to participate in it.

Even if there are other clever people in the village who have guessed the truth, as long as she, the Hokage, defines the nature of this incident, then the truth becomes irrelevant.

"Understood!" Nara Shikaku nodded. "Is there anything else you need, Lady Tsunade?"

Tsunade thought for a moment, "Send someone to inform Jiraiya and Sarutobi Asuma of the old man's death and recall them."

"Also, when Jiraiya returns to the village, remember to use the main gate. Don't sneak around like you're trying to hide from everyone. Make it more conspicuous."

"As for the rest, I'll arrange it when I get to the Hokage Building."

"understand!"

……

Nara Shikaku and the others left.

Tsunade lay back on the sofa and closed her eyes.

He still seemed somewhat dazed.

"The old man is dead too..."

She was cursing that old man not long ago, and now he's a corpse.

Come to think of it, she hasn't even seen what the other person looks like now.

But he's just a dead old man; he probably won't be good-looking.

"Ok?"

Lost in thought, she suddenly felt a pair of small hands pressing on her temples.

Tsunade subconsciously opened her eyes and saw the concern in Shirokumo Aoba's gentle eyes.

"Teacher, I will always be with you."

Tsunade's pupils trembled slightly; she actually felt a strange sense of peace from this brat.

"You brat, your teacher isn't a child anymore!"

She pulled Bai Yunqingye back onto the sofa and then held her tightly in her arms.

Feeling the pressure emanating from her face, Shirokumo Aoba said half-jokingly, "Teacher, even adults have the right to cry."

"Hmph, I won't cry... Now be a good body pillow for me for a while."

"..."

Silently, Shizune sat to the side, watching the scene unfold before her without uttering a word.

She felt like she was being ignored.

Just like air.

Is there really no place for her in this family?

Jingyin didn't disturb the two of them and carried Tun Tun towards the kitchen.

……

On the table.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Tsunade suddenly said in a heavy tone, "Shizune, go to the Uchiha clan later..."

Halfway through her sentence, Tsunade changed her mind, "Never mind, I'll go myself."

At this point, Mikoto Uchiha and the other members of the Uchiha clan should still be unaware of what has happened.

Last night, the whole village was celebrating the New Year, and the Uchiha clan was no exception.

They're probably all still asleep right now.

Moreover, most of the Uchiha clan members who died last night were members of the security department.

The security force is currently short-staffed and needs to be replenished promptly.

She originally wanted to have Jingyin inform them, but after thinking about it, she decided it was better for her to go in person for something so important.

"Is the teacher going to inform Aunt Mikoto?" Shiraun Aoba asked.

Tsunade nodded.

"Can I come with you?"

"Okay." Tsunade thought for a moment and agreed.

Shirokumo Aoba and Sasuke have a good relationship. I heard that the kid idolizes his older brother. If he has an emotional breakdown later, I should be able to offer him some words of comfort.

Seeing Tsunade suddenly become serious, Shirakumo Aoba's gaze turned somewhat strange.

"Kid, what kind of look is that?" Tsunade said, her tone full of displeasure.

Shirokumo Aoba smiled and said, "I just think that the teacher who was so resistant to becoming Hokage back then is completely different from how he is now."

"Hmph!" Tsunade glared at him. "I wonder which brat is always talking about Hokage this and Hokage that in my ear."

"Moreover, now that I've accepted that robe, I must shoulder the responsibilities of being the Hokage."
