After Kabuto Yakushi left, he went to the Hokage's office.
"Tsunade, I'm very curious, what method did the old man use to get you to agree to become Hokage?"
Jiraiya knew Tsunade well.
I had always been very resistant to becoming Hokage.
Especially after developing hemophobia, he harbored a deep hatred for the Hokage.
Tsunade fell silent.
Her becoming Hokage has little to do with Hiruzen Sarutobi.
To be honest, Kitazawa bears the main responsibility.
Tsunade paused, suddenly realizing what she was thinking.
The Hokage's office door wasn't closed properly, and she saw Kitazawa through the crack.
"Come in."
Tsunade spoke.
"Who?"
Jiraiya subconsciously turned his head.
"Lady Tsunade."
Kitazawa walked in. "Lord Jiraiya."
"So you were your student, Kitazawa."
Jiraiya exclaimed, "I've heard of you all over the Land of Earth. You already have the flair of Minato."
“He is different from Minato.”
Tsunade said instinctively.
I mean fame.
Jiraiya smiled, looked at her, and said, "In terms of recruiting students, you're almost catching up with me."
What are you doing in the Land of Earth?
Tsunade changed the subject and asked.
"To gather intelligence."
Jiraiya coughed twice and said, "You still haven't answered my previous question."
There is no answer.
Tsunade glanced at Kitazawa and said, "Take it if you want, don't take it if you don't."
"That's really like you."
Jiraiya praised him, saying, "But you are very suitable to be Hokage. Since you have become Hokage, then do a good job in this role."
He shared the same thought as Hiruzen Sarutobi, fearing that Tsunade would run away.
"You should have been the Hokage."
Tsunade paused, then said, "Konoha is now in a new phase. If you stay..."
"Feel sorry."
Jiraiya interrupted her, saying, "Konoha Village has enough of you. I have my own things to do."
He was referring to the search for the prophesied child.
Disappointment flashed in Tsunade's eyes, but she didn't say anything more.
She had already anticipated this answer.
But it's nothing.
The current Konoha Village doesn't actually need another Jiraiya.
Kitazawa's appearance filled the gap in Konoha Village's lack of high-level combat power.
"Old man!"
Jiraiya suddenly sensed something and turned around to call out.
"Do you even know how to come back?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with some dissatisfaction, "I haven't settled the score with you for leaving Konoha without saying goodbye last time."
He was referring to the last Chinese New Year.
"Now that Tsunade has become Hokage, I definitely have to come back."
Jiraiya smiled nonchalantly and said, "On such a fine day, it's not good for the old man to get angry."
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said quite frankly, "Anyway, Tsunade is the Hokage now, she'll have a headache."
"What's there to worry about?"
Tsunade casually said, "Just pretend he doesn't exist."
Jiraiya was startled, but not knowing what to say, he could only scratch his head.
He secretly reassured himself that, given Tsunade's personality, this was definitely a joke.
"The lord has arrived, let's go."
Hiruzen Sarutobi reminded him.
"Ah."
Tsunade stood up and put on the white divine robe that had been made for her.
The back is printed with the words "Fifth Hokage" and so on.
But instead of wearing the Hokage hat, she gave it to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The four people went to the rooftop.
The plaza in front of the Hokage Building was already packed with people.
Tsunade could hear the commotion even before she saw them.
She walked forward step by step.
Tsunade's gaze fell upon the Hokage Rock in the distance.
There have already been two Hokage from the Senju clan, and now it's her turn.
Tsunade walked to the very edge.
The crowd in the square immediately erupted in cheers.
Tsunade becoming Hokage was a popular and well-deserved decision.
It was difficult to find anyone in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who opposed her.
The only one who opposed her, Danzo Shimura, has already gone to the Pure Land.
"I hereby announce that the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village is Tsunade."
The daimyo of the Land of Fire shouted loudly.
"I'm entrusting Konoha to you, Tsunade."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped forward, handed her the Hokage hat, and said...
"I will try my best, teacher."
Tsunade stopped calling him "old man" and started using the more formal title "teacher."
She took the Hokage hat and put it on her head, then looked at the crowd in the square.
"Say something."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.
Starting today, he is completely retired and no longer needs to work.
"I am Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage!"
Tsunade raised her hand, clenched her fist, and said.
The cheers erupted like a tidal wave.
Konoha Village has ushered in a new beginning.
Chapter 265 Kitazawa's Soaring Fame: Second in the Ninja World
on Monday.
Two days have passed since the Hokage succession ceremony.
Because Tsunade took office a week in advance, there were no major changes in Konoha Village before and after the Hokage succession ceremony.
As for the new appointment, a decision will not be made for some time.
Jiraiya left Konoha Village again, just like before.
He left this time with the daimyo of the Land of Fire.
This was the task Tsunade had given him.
Since we're leaving anyway, we might as well escort the Fire Country Daimyo on his journey, thus fulfilling the courtesy of Konoha Village.
8:30 a.m.
After having breakfast, Kitazawa went to Konoha Hospital.
"Lord Kitazawa, it's been a long time!"
"You are truly amazing! Lord Kitazawa, your performance on the battlefield was absolutely phenomenal!"
"Lord Kitazawa, you are now my role model! I want to learn from you!"
"You don't know, because of you and Lady Tsunade, many children mistakenly believe that medical ninjas nowadays have strong combat abilities."
The last medical ninja to speak was someone who specialized in treating children.
Kitazawa never expected to be surrounded by onlookers at Konoha Hospital.
But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.
This is his first time returning to Konoha Hospital since the war between Konoha and Kirigakure ended.
The medical ninjas and nurses at Konoha Hospital hadn't seen him in a long time, so they all showed him great enthusiasm.
Of course, the main reason is that he is too famous now.
Just then, Yakushi Nonou suddenly appeared and walked up to him.
She was in her office when she heard a commotion and, thinking something had happened, went out to check.
"Stop bothering Kitazawa. Get ready. Don't forget you have things to do at nine o'clock."
Yakushi Nonou spoke gently.
She was referring to the fact that Kitazawa performed surgery at nine o'clock and that they were allowed to watch.
However, the others do not yet know exactly what is to be done.
"Lord Kitazawa, see you later!"
The medical ninjas and nurses surrounding Kitazawa greeted him and then left.
"Kitazawa, you're really popular now."
Yakushi Nonou smiled and spoke softly.
"Sometimes, having too much fame can be quite troublesome."
Kitazawa shook his head and said.
"If you come to Konoha Hospital a few more times, they won't bother you like this."
