"Ah."
Tsunade paused for a moment and then said, "The Jonin election and the village election will be held next week."
"no problem."
Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed without hesitation.
Once this process is completed, he will definitely be able to retire before next Sunday.
Having served as Hokage for decades, he is about to retire, and he still feels an eagerness to do so.
After all, being the Hokage means taking on a heavy responsibility, meaning that the villagers and ninjas of Konoha Village have to shoulder that burden.
He's getting old, it's time for him to step down and let the younger generation take over.
"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you. Let's go back to work."
Tsunade waved her hand and left the Hokage's office.
Although she had decided to become Hokage, old habits die hard, and she remained a carefree person who would slack off whenever possible.
"Does Lady Tsunade intend for Danzo Shimura to attack us on our way to the capital of the Land of Fire?"
Kitazawa caught up with her and asked.
"Ah."
Tsunade nodded.
"But is it just the two of us?"
Kitazawa coughed lightly and said, "I think we can bring Itachi along. In case something really goes wrong, he can help."
"how?"
Tsunade glanced at him and asked, "You don't have confidence in me?"
"Of course I'm confident, but I personally prefer to only do things when I'm sure of success."
Kitazawa said seriously, "Besides, we don't know how many people Shimura Danzo will bring."
"You have a point."
Tsunade pondered for a moment and said, "Then let Itachi lead a team of ANBU to secretly follow us."
"I'll inform him when the time comes."
Kitazawa nodded and said.
The Hokage's office.
"clear."
After they left, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately shouted.
"Lord Hokage."
Qing pushed open the door and walked in.
"Send someone to inform the villagers and ninjas now that the Hokage selection process will begin next week and that they should prepare to vote."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the order directly.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Qing couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Are they changing the Hokage?
Who will be the next Hokage?
The name Tsunade immediately popped into Haru's mind.
Because she had just left the Hokage's office.
Moreover, no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village is more qualified to become the next Hokage than her.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Qing snapped out of her daze and quickly replied.
Changing the Hokage is also a major event for the Anbu.
However, the darker areas will be less affected.
Generally, when a new Hokage takes office, he will select two or three ninjas from the Anbu for training.
For example, she herself was chosen by Hiruzen Sarutobi to become a bodyguard.
"and many more."
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly remembered something and said, "While you're at it, call Danzo over."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Qing bowed slightly and then turned to leave.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat calmly in the Hokage's chair, waiting.
He knew that Danzo Shimura had never given up on the Hokage position.
But no matter how unwilling he is to give up, he is not qualified to become Hokage.
Now that Tsunade is about to become Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi plans to give Danzo Shimura a warning and tell him not to act recklessly.
After working together for so many years, he didn't want to see anything happen to Shimura Danzo.
"Sun Slash".
Not long after, Danzo Shimura, leaning on his cane, walked into the Hokage's office.
How have you been doing at home lately?
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a chuckle.
Danzo Shimura was taken aback.
As Hiruzen Sarutobi's longtime partner of several decades, he sensed the problem the moment he opened his mouth.
Why would he care about his life under normal circumstances?
"Fortunately."
Danzo Shimura said in a lukewarm tone.
"It seems you've adapted somewhat."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "After I retire next week, we can visit each other more often."
"You're retired?"
Danzo Shimura's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart felt as if it were being squeezed.
"Yes."
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said, "I'm getting old, it's time for me to retire. I'll leave Konoha to Tsunade."
"Sun Slayer!"
Danzo Shimura said urgently, "This matter should be discussed at length!"
"Is there any ninja in Konoha Village more suitable to be Hokage than Tsunade?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi countered with a question.
"..."
Danzo Shimura hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
He wanted to say something to him, but he also knew that he was no match for Tsunade.
But... he was unwilling to accept it!
"Danzo, you're getting old. There are some things you should let go of."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly.
"You've gotten old, but I'm not!"
Danzo Shimura turned and left in a rage.
boom!
The door was closed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent.
He shook his head. He had said what he needed to say. If Shimura Danzo did anything foolish again, it was none of his business.
This should be handled by the next Hokage.
Chapter 260 Danzo: Hiruzen, you'll regret this!
The activation of the Hokage selection program caused a huge uproar in Konoha Village.
The new Hokage represents new changes for Konoha Village, and also new opportunities.
It's rare for a new Hokage to use the same team as the previous Hokage.
Those ninjas with the ability and a desire to improve will benefit from this.
In addition, all the major ninja clans will also be affected.
For example, the Uchiha clan.
"Chieftain!"
Uchiha Hachimoku rushed into Uchiha Fugaku's office.
"What happened?"
Fugaku Uchiha noticed his expression and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"An ANBU ninja just came to inform us that we need to prepare for next week's Jonin election."
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha took a deep breath and said.
"Jonin election?"
Fugaku Uchiha immediately stood up.
He was well aware of what the Jonin vote meant.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the new Hokage will be Tsunade."
