NARUTO- CH-163. Candidates

Mitomon pulled him aside and said earnestly, "It's too early for young people. You need more training."

"How can I hone my skills if you don't give me a chance?"

Jiraiya said bluntly, "It's just an excuse for lusting after power."

"Jiraiya!"

Mizuto's thoughts were stirred, and he couldn't hold back, losing his composure.

Everyone was shocked.

Just as the new Hokage takes office, they can see such an exciting scene?

The war of words between the Hokage's advisor and the three ninjas of Konoha is something you only see once in a lifetime.

Most of the jonin were just watching with an attitude of watching bystanders.

After all, whether the Hokage advisor cancels it or not, it won't fall on them.

Some of the senior ninjas also had changes in their hearts at this moment.

They actually agreed more with Jiraiya's statement.

Mitokado and Utane had been the Hokage's advisors for too long.

"Quiet."

Tsunade knocked on the table.

The quarrel stopped immediately.

All three knew the decision rested with the Hokage.

"Tsunade."

Mitomon took a deep breath and said, "I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation; otherwise, we won't be able to convince the public."

"Because of the Will of Fire."

Tsunade said calmly.

"...?"

Mitomon was immediately filled with question marks.

Not only him, but also Utane and Jiraiya were the same.

Especially Jiraiya.

What he was thinking was, don't do this, that's really scary.

Does becoming a Hokage mean that one will automatically learn to use the Will of Fire?

"The firelight will illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout."

Tsunade said seriously, "The young people have grown up, and the older generation should trust and encourage them."

Mitomon and Utane were speechless for a moment.

For the first time, they found it so uncomfortable to stand against the Will of Fire.

In the past, as long as they applied the Will of Fire, everything they did would go very smoothly.

Including Danzo Shimura, his favorite saying was that everything was for Konoha.

And it was difficult for them to refute.

Because Tsunade is the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju.

In today's Konoha Village, she had the highest authority to interpret the Will of Fire.

"Are you questioning the Will of Fire left behind by the First Hokage?"

Tsunade asked suddenly.

"Of course not!"

Mitomon and Utane answered quickly.

In Konoha Village, no one can deny the Will of Fire in person.

That would cause big problems.

At this time, they felt a little regretful. They should have stopped Sarutobi Hiruzen from promoting the Will of Fire earlier.

"I know what you mean."

Tsunade changed the subject and said, "You don't trust young people enough and think they will make mistakes."

"Indeed."

Utane said subconsciously.

But after she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong.

Compared to them, the jonin present here were all considered youngsters.

But the words had been said, so she could only hold on.

No matter what, she couldn't lose her power as the Hokage's advisor.

"My vision is that the power of the Hokage advisor is shared among the Hokage's guards."

Tsunade looked at her and said, "I have a list here, please give me some advice."

"…"

Utane's face suddenly became stiff.

Mitomon's expression was not good either.

To attack by surprise, to cheat!

No moral ethics!

Tsunade's true intentions were revealed, and they discovered the problem.

Only Jiraiya also grinned.

This was an open conspiracy.

It was originally a conflict between the two Hokage advisors and Tsunade.

Now it had become a conflict between them and many jonin.

"Shikaku Nara, Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Mikoto Uchiha, Yamato."

Tsunade read out the list.

She chose Asuma Sarutobi to give Sarutobi Hiruzen the last bit of dignity, while also splitting the allies of Utane Koharu and Mitomon.

Uchiha Mikoto was a reward to Uchiha Itachi, and also to appease the Uchiha clan.

Besides, she did have the level of a jonin, so it was not an exception for her to serve in the Hokage's bodyguard team.

Although the Hokage Guard was asked to perform the role of the Hokage's advisors, their status was actually significantly lowered.

It didn't matter if they squeezed in two more people.

Tsunade's idea was simple.

With the highly intelligent Nara Shikaku as the main person, the other four people would be her assistants, and they could just help her handle most of the work.

Shiki couldn't help but smile.

Tsunade was quite suitable to be Hokage.

Especially this majestic appearance, which really made him itch.

As soon as the list came out, the conference room fell into silence.

Tsunade made it very clear that from now on, the Hokage Guard would be regarded as the Hokage's advisors.

These five people had undoubtedly seen a surge in status.

"Huh?"

Uchiha Mikoto was stunned.

She never dreamed that she would be chosen to be the Hokage's guard.

But from another perspective, it also showed that the coup d'état by Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi did not affect the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Mikoto subconsciously looked at Shiki.

Considering what he said before, he must have known it a long time ago.

She suddenly realized that Shiki was now the Hokage's student.

It seemed that she needed to increase her efforts to build a good relationship with him.

Mikoto had never thought about these things before, but now she was the head of the Uchiha clan.

Even if not for the Uchiha clan, it was for Uchiha Sasuke.

In short, the closer you are to Shiki, the more benefits you will get.

The most surprised were the Sarutobi clan.

They had prepared to get nothing.

Because Tsunade became the Fifth Hokage by forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Previously, they had agreed to ask Utane Koharu and Mitomon for help because they hoped to get care from the two Hokage advisors.

But what could they help with now?

They could distinguish between their own people and outsiders.

Now, the only way to get a spot in the Hokage Guard was to support Tsunade.

Hiashi sighed.

As expected, there was no place for the Hyuga clan.

No way.

After the Uchiha clan was greatly weakened, the Hyuga clan became the strongest ninja clan in Konoha Village.

If they gave a Hokage a bodyguard, it would seem like too much power.

Now, Hiashi just hoped that Tsunade's arrangements for Hanabi would be enough to convince him.

Otherwise, he would feel resentful.

Listening to the discussions around them, Utane Koharu and Mitomon stood frozen in place.

They had only one thought in mind.

It's over! It's all over!

They had refused and stood against the Hyuga clan, Uchiha clan, Sarutobi clan, and Ino-Shika-Cho clan.

Tsunade smiled faintly.

This method really works.

No wonder the old man always talks about the Will of Fire.

Tsunade subconsciously glanced at Aburame Shiki.

Given her personality, she naturally couldn't think of such a solution.

It was a reminder from Shiki.

If you encounter any trouble, you can use the Will of Fire to explain it.

Anyway, she is the Hokage and the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju. Who dares to question her?
