Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

Sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low-pitched,

Sometimes it is gentle and elegant, tranquil and serene, like a babbling brook.

Sometimes the melody is melodious and clear, a soft and gentle murmur, like the bright moonlight.

It's truly captivating; you unconsciously drift into a beautiful dream and don't want to wake up.

Tsunade's heart also fluttered.

"How about coming to my place tonight?"

"Stop fooling around, you're pregnant, don't do anything reckless at a time like this."

"Aren't there other moves?"

Ah, this, this...

is this okay?

Sensing the two majestic Mount Fujis behind him, Uehara Shimei decisively abandoned Mikoto and returned to Konoha with a Flying Thunder God Technique.

Chapter 55 The Great Changes in the Original Konoha: Tsunade's Awakening and Final Seizure of Power

The Primitive Ninja World

Tsunade looked at the comments section filled with her grandfather's approval and the reminders from her former teammates.

His originally cold and stern gaze suddenly turned even more grief-stricken.

"Wood Release, Sharingan, Izanagi, hehe, looks like this is going to be fun."

With a wave of her hand, she directly ordered several Jonin who originally belonged to the advisor's command to break through the Root base's defenses first.

The elders of Konoha are different from those of all other ninja villages.

The advisors to the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Cloud Village are essentially the same as the Kage's strategists and support staff.

They help Ying with tasks that she is not good at or that are inconvenient for her to handle personally, but their actual power is limited.

Kirigakure is divided into two factions, with the elders serving as leaders of the bloodline clan faction, which is the origin of the Blood Mist Village.

In Sunagakure, the Kazekage of each generation died too hastily, forcing the advisors to periodically assume the responsibilities that belong to the Kazekage.

Konoha's system is similar to that of enfeoffing lords; the vassals of your vassals are not your vassals.

The root is the most special, but not an exception. In fact, each one has its own private armed forces, its own department in charge, and its own sphere of authority.

The Hokage himself directly commands the Anbu, the Education Department, and the Jonin Class.

The Dark Division includes the Intelligence Department, Interrogation Department, Analysis Class, Tracking Class, Perception Class, Code Class, and so on.

What is widely believed to be the "dark branch" is actually just the combat unit of the dark branch, the mission squad.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of three generations of consultants, this department's power and complex structure have even surpassed the combined power of all other consultants.

In the original work, Hiruzen Sarutobi, in order to suppress Sakumo Hatake and prevent him from gaining further merit, or to legally conceal his achievements from outsiders,

He was forced to appoint him as the leader of the secret force and transfer him into the shadows.

The Dark Division wields excessive power, to the point that it can be said to affect the very lives and fortunes of those in power.

Not to mention, they also have to carry out private matters that the shadowy figure cannot disclose to outsiders from time to time, such as spreading rumors, plotting conspiracies, and assassinating someone, etc.

If it is controlled by an outsider, even if it is just the leader of the mission team, there will be many inconveniences.

Therefore, by five years after the end of World War II, Sakumo Hatake's reputation had largely faded.

Furthermore, with the signs of a third world war escalating, it seems this sharp blade is about to unleash an astonishingly brilliant light once again.

That's why I decisively took drastic measures.

Some say that Sakumo Hatake's downfall was simply due to his own mental state, while others interpret it as a collapse of his faith. His burning faith and fiery will were ultimately betrayed, leading him to commit suicide in despair.

However, based on Uehara Shinmei's actual observations, for F4 at that time, Hatake Sakumo had reached a point where he had no choice but to die.

Suicide would at least save Kakashi; if he didn't commit suicide, and no one could kill him, the final result would only be a new Orochimaru.

He defected, and all his confidants were dealt with.

Because such truly strong individuals, who possess great faith and are willing to put it into practice, have an astonishing influence on those around them.

This is especially true for ninjas who live in darkness and yearn for light.

At that time, more than half of the Anbu directly under the Hokage were attracted to Sakumo Hatake.

It's important to understand that the Anbu has practically become the private domain of the Sarutobi clan.

If he doesn't die, who will? And not only does he have to die, but he has to die in the most shameful and ironic way.

Besides the Anbu, the Education Department, and the Jonin Class

As for the rest, Mitomon Homura was in charge of the administration department and responsible for liaison between the ninja village and the daimyo, while Utatane Koharu was in charge of the medical department and the logistics department.

There are others, such as the police department being privately owned by the Uchiha clan, and the sealing team and barrier team originally belonging to the Third Hokage's wife, Sarutobi Biwako, but later being taken over by a Sarutobi Jonin.

This bizarre system makes it difficult for even the new Hokage, Kurama (the Nine-Tails), to immediately seize power.

Unless, they can first develop their own loyal forces.

For example, the former Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was only able to command the two ANBU teams he newly formed after becoming Hokage, namely Kakashi's team.

And, the three members of the Shadow Guard: Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, and Iwashi Tsutsumi.

For example, after the seventh generation took over, the remaining two members of F4 still held great power and interfered in other people's affairs every day. There's no way around it; this is the drawback of the feudal system.

As for those who can truly develop their own loyal followers, just look at the fates of Sakumo Hatake and Orochimaru; Konoha simply cannot allow such powerful individuals to exist.

Now, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade faces the same problem: if she wants to command a ninja, she must first obtain the consent of the head of the relevant department.

Originally, she planned to rely on Shizune and her reputation as a medical expert to slowly infiltrate the medical department and gradually replace the ANBU, taking control of the power in a traditional way.

But now, after watching the comparison video, she has decided to try a different approach.

Tsunade's icy gaze was fixed on the Jonin who had been sent by the advisors to monitor her.

His fists were clenched tightly, and his intense chakra exuded an extremely dangerous aura, giving off the impression that he was about to unleash his monstrous power.

Kakashi also drew a short sword from behind his back that looked exactly like White Fang.

Azure lightning danced across the sky, hissing and crackling.

He decided to stop pretending and come clean.

However, at that moment, a large group of people suddenly arrived from outside.

The main forces of the Hyuga and Ino-Shika-Cho clans, and even some Sarutobi clan ninjas, have come to offer their loyalty.

The two members of F4, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, finally arrived late.

Not daring to show the slightest disrespect, he even adopted the same expression as Tsunade towards the Root base, beginning to demonstrate his political correctness.

After watching the comparison video, especially seeing Uehara Siming's behavior in it, they felt uneasy.

What if Tsunade wants to follow suit?

Even if Tsunade doesn't follow suit, Kakashi's attitude is already quite clear.

Both of them were aware of their own abilities and knew they were no match for each other.

Therefore, at this point, the only option left is to apologize to Danzo and Root.

Ah Zang, Tuan Tuan, I'll send you flowers and burn paper money if you die. Just go peacefully and don't cause any more trouble, especially don't drag us down with you.

When the main character arrived, Tsunade stopped bullying the Jonin.

With an unfriendly expression, he asked the two advisors:

"What are you doing here?"

"Well... after careful consideration, I feel that I am too old and my energy is not up to par, so it is no longer appropriate for me to continue to manage these two departments. Therefore, I would like to recommend Kato Shizune as the Minister of Medical Affairs."

“I am also willing to hand over the administration department to Kakashi, who will only be responsible for liaising with the daimyo and the capital.”

Seeing the two of them cowering and startled by his words,

Tsunade wanted to laugh.

But it wasn't the kind of happy laugh that comes from getting a good deal, or the smug satisfaction of finally being able to control the real power.

Instead, he burst into sarcastic laughter.

As expected, Uehara Siming's approach was correct.

When you are weak or have reservations, others will not understand your hardships and difficulties at all; they will only take advantage of you and become more arrogant.

But if you are decisive and ruthless, and you stab anyone you don't like, they will start to be cautious, think what you think, and become so considerate, reliable, and obedient that it's unbelievable.

Thinking back on all the grievances she had suffered, she just wanted to slap herself.

That's so fucking stupid.

The Hokage, a powerful Kage-level shinobi, was actually bullied by these two old bastards for so long.

If Uehara Shinmei knew, she'd probably laugh herself to death.

Chapter 56 Emperor Kai Takes the Throne, Grandma Li Knocks on the Door

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado believed they had already made the biggest concessions possible.

Especially Mitokado's inflammation, the administration department seems inconspicuous,

But in reality, it is the most powerful and lucrative department, apart from the few departments directly controlled by the Hokage and the theoretical police department.

Even within the departments under the Hokage's jurisdiction,

The Ministry of Education actually has a rather special role; it is used to instill the Will of Fire in the next generation, and the scope of its arbitrary actions is very limited.

The Jonin team, being the strongest force in the ninja village, must be under the control of the Hokage.

But precisely because this force is so strong and so important, there is not much room for maneuver.

In many cases, it's just a name.

Whether it's the Hokage, the advisors, or anyone else, none of them allow all the Jonin to unite.
