Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

"But this kid is quite gentle; is the patient taking care of the doctor instead?"

"Hmm, not bad material."

Thinking about the source material, Jiraiya looked at the location of the hot spring in the back mountain and drooled.

"Hey ladies, you must be thinking about me, right?"

"I'll be right there, hahaha..."

…………

The Hokage Building, the heart of Konoha.

At this moment, the Third Generation rubbed his temples, looking distressed.

To his left and right, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were arguing across the distance about compensation for Uchiha and Sakumo.

"Hiruzen, we absolutely cannot agree to them! The Anbu has too many secrets about the village; this information must not be leaked!"

Mito Menyan said solemnly.

"Yan, what do you mean by that? Does that mean the Uchiha aren't members of Konoha?" Koharu Utatane retorted.

Mitokado Homura's words clearly excluded the Uchiha clan. At present, Konoha has not yet experienced the Nine-Tails' attack, and the village's overall attitude towards the Uchiha is one of vigilance, not complete rejection.

Moreover, Kagami still harbors feelings for Uchiha, so Koharu Utatane is naturally willing to speak up for the Uchiha clan.

"If they dare to ask for the Anbu position today, wouldn't they dare to ask for the Hokage position tomorrow and seize power?"

"Koharu, the Uchiha's desires will only grow bigger and bigger. The reason why the teacher arranged for the Uchiha to be in charge of the guard team was to prevent the Uchiha from entering the center of the village."

"This is how we've been doing it for years. Once we give them a taste of success, the previous pressure will rebound, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Mitokado Homura never doubted the evil in human nature, especially towards the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan is too prone to extremes. Having seen so many, Mitokado Homura's impression of the entire clan has become quite negative.

"Doesn't Jing participate in important village affairs? Doesn't Jing love the village?"

Koharu, who was turning over a new room, kept asking questions, leaving Mitokado Hōsuke speechless.

Back then, the teacher kept Kagami by his side, taught him diligently, and even got him into the Hokage Guard.

All the memories from his childhood show that Jing loves his village very much, even more than his family.

“One thing at a time, Koharu. Not every Uchiha loves the village as much as Kagami does, and there’s only one Kagami.”

“I know you care about him, Xiaochun, but you must admit that the village’s interests always come first.”

Mitokado Yan pushed up his glasses and said seriously.

Both of them consciously avoided mentioning Danzo, the mastermind behind the assassination attempt, during their argument.

Neither of them discussed the rationale for compensating Haneda and Kakashi.

Both of them were victims, and both had a powerful force behind them.

Compensation is necessary; the only question is how much.

It depends on whether the Uchiha clan fights for it or not, which is reflected in the condition of the Anbu.

After the two had finished arguing and quieted down, the Third Generation took a drag of his cigarette to cheer himself up.

He put down his pipe and said slowly:

"The Uchiha will always be the Uchiha of Konoha, that is an indisputable fact."

“Every member of the Anbu is a ninja who loves and is loyal to the village, and that is also the requirement for selection.”

"As long as the Uchiha people who participate in the selection meet the requirements, there's nothing wrong with it."

Mitokado Endou:

"Hiruzen, I have to remind you."

“Once we agree to the Uchiha’s request, someone has to be selected to join us. This has nothing to do with love for the village.”

“If the Uchiha only assigns one person, then we must hire him, otherwise we will be breaking our promise, which will only further provoke the Uchiha’s anger.”

“Kenji is a smart man; he wouldn’t do that,” the Third Hokage said, puffing on his pipe.

No sooner had he finished speaking than another voice came from outside the door.

"Hiruzen, you are too weak!"

"Giving in will only embolden the Uchiha to take advantage of us! The inherently evil Uchiha will never be satisfied with the status quo!!"

Danzo walked in, his gaze fixed intently on the Third Hokage.

"Didn't I warn you not to show your face in the village during this time, Danzo?!" the Third Hokage said with a hint of anger.

Danzo seemed to have forgotten yesterday's unpleasantness and retorted directly:

"Everything I've done is for the village, for Konoha. I will never let you, Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, go astray!"

Seeing that Danzo was even more radical than himself, Mitokado Homura quickly tried to mediate:

"Alright, Danzo, Hiruzen was just thinking of the village's best interests."

Danzo glanced at Mitokado Homura:

"That's what he thinks, but his empty and foolish ideals will only make the current situation worse!"

"The reality is that the Uchiha's pride will never be integrated into the village, and another Kagami will never emerge!"

"This is the undeniable truth, Hiruzen!!"

Boom! ! !

Suddenly, the office door was smashed open with a punch, and a bold and violent figure appeared in the dust.

"Old man, you still prefer to waste your breath on these three outdated old men."

Tsunade emerged from the dust, casually found a seat, and sat down, completely ignoring the ashen faces of Danzo and the other two.

"Tsunade, you're being incredibly disrespectful! This is the Hokage's office!"

Danzo opened his left eye wide and glared at Tsunade.

"The Hokage's office?"

Tsunade smiled nonchalantly.

This is pretty much where she grew up.

The first generation was her great-grandfather, the second generation was her second great-grandfather, and the third generation was her teacher.

What is Danzo?

Chapter 046 The dust has settled

Tsunade said calmly:

"You rogue ninja who assassinated the Third Hokage, and you still have the nerve to lecture others? Is this your respect for the Hokage?"

"What do you, a little girl, know? Everything I've done is for Konoha!"

Danzo stood up and stared straight into Tsunade's eyes, but Tsunade still didn't look back.

She picked up the teapot on the desk, poured herself a cup, and took a sip.

At this point, the third generation leader, not wanting to see his old friend and disciple fighting, quickly tried to mediate:

"Danzo, Tsunade is my disciple. Besides being Hokage and subordinate, we also have a teacher-student relationship."

"You're too weak, Hiruzen! Tsunade is the way she is today because you spoiled her!"

"Tsunade is like that, and so is Jiraiya. One is addicted to gambling, and the other, like you, enjoys spying."

"That's not all. Now, they don't even care about the village anymore and just wander around outside!"

"Enough, Danzo! No matter what Tsunade and Jiraiya become, they are still my disciples. You have no right to lecture them!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo stared intently at Hiruzen and roared:

"You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"

"I am the Hokage!!"

boom!

The door slammed shut with a heavy thud.

At this moment, Mitokado Homura said, "Hiruzen, you are the Hokage, so you should decide this matter."

After saying that, Mitokado En also left the office.

Seeing that her two old friends had left, Koharu Utatane glanced at the Third Hokage, then at Tsunade, and shook her head helplessly.

The feud between Tsunade and her had been going on for a long time.

The real source of the conflict was Tsunade's suggestion to pair up medical ninjas.

At that time, due to the immaturity of medical ninjutsu and the difficulty in training medical ninjas, she rejected the idea.

After that, their relationship plummeted; at least Tsunade never looked happy when she met her.
