Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 229 The Third Hokage was the victim, so let the victim speak!

All the Hokage present knew that Akihara Kagura was very strong.

However, in this battle, Akihara Kagura used their most proficient technique, defeating the four Hokage in the very domain they were so proud of.

"This little guy is really strong, stronger than me and Madara!"

Recalling his own life, Hashirama Senju readily admitted his shortcomings: "Even when I was alive, I was no match for this little guy..."

"Although Kagura only received a transplant of the First Generation's cells..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood to the side, having witnessed firsthand Kagura Akihara's gradual increase in strength: "But Kagura's talent and diligence are the keys that have enabled him to reach this point..."

"That cunning brat's scheming is the most terrifying thing..."

Tobirama Senju added coldly, "What's more dangerous than Kagura Akihara's powerful strength is her mind and cunning."

"I'm still far from good enough at that..."

Akihara Kagura's figure slowly landed in front of them, and she shook her head, saying, "I will continue to work hard in the future and strive not to let down the Second Hokage's expectations..."

"Such efforts are unnecessary."

Tobirama Senju turned his head away with a cold expression.

The Hokage of Konoha have all been manipulated by this guy, becoming puppets controlling Konoha. If this brat keeps trying, will Konoha have any future?

"after…"

Kagura Akihara didn't mind Tobirama Senju's stubbornness and smiled as she discussed with them, "I hope you Hokage-sama will support my work in Konoha..."

"..."

The four Hokage present all had rather strange expressions.

"Sigh, there's really no need for you and Tsunade to fight..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and offered his advice, "I understand Tsunade's personality. You two can get along well; there's no conflict that can't be resolved..."

"That depends on Lady Tsunade's choice."

Kagura Akihara chuckled and continued, "I also really want to get along well with my new boss, if she can support my work... for example, if she tacitly approved my resurrection of the Hokage, we've worked together very well on this matter."

"..."

All four Hokage couldn't help but feel that Tsunade's future as Hokage was bleak. How could they support or even condone such a thing?

Isn't this just digging myself into a hole?

however…

Tsunade didn't even realize she had fallen into a trap.

As the newly appointed Hokage, Tsunade has accumulated too many troubles. The appearance of the four Hokage can help her a lot and also help her stabilize the situation in Konoha.

Obvious.

Tsunade believed that Akihara Kagura, who had resurrected the Hokage, could become her most powerful assistant if she could gain his approval, and he would help her protect Konoha in the future.

The next day.

Konoha Village.

The Daimyo sent word that he was summoning Konoha's high-ranking officials for a meeting to appoint the Hokage. This was a meeting of a certain caliber that Konoha's high-ranking officials would definitely attend.

same.

This meeting will certainly face challenges from the nobles.

When Tsunade met Akihara Kagura, she didn't ask him about the progress of the Impure World Reincarnation; instead, she was thinking about how to make this subordinate acknowledge her as a qualified Hokage.

Daming Mansion.

This is the residence of the daimyo, and also the capital of the Land of Fire.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire sat silently in the conference room, holding a fan to his mouth, listening to the ministers' opinions with a smile, nodding occasionally.

The ministers of the Land of Fire sat on one side, and the high-ranking officials of Konoha sat on the other side. This was the ruling class of the Land of Fire, with a group of guards standing behind them.

A minister from the Land of Fire, looking at Tsunade and a group of Konoha ninja, couldn't help but criticize them: "Recently, the actions of you Konoha ninja have been far too domineering. Lady Tsunade, I can understand debt defaults, but cleaning up the casinos under my jurisdiction..."

"I'm going to kill him after the meeting."

Kagura Akihara waved to Karin behind her and said, "Send someone to investigate what wrong this minister has done. Give me the charges before the meeting ends, so that no one will say that Konoha has been killing innocent people indiscriminately."

"That's too domineering!"

The minister was startled.

How can people in the world not make mistakes?

Especially for nobles and ministers of the Land of Fire, if they do something slightly outrageous towards some commoners, plunder their money in order to improve their own lives, or sell some information about the Land of Fire to enemy countries, can that be called wrong?

"This is indeed a bit too domineering..."

One of the ministers also began to criticize Konoha.

"That won't do..."

"Shouldn't Konoha also be reasonable?"

Seeing the large crowd, some ministers also began to speak.

"You're both right."

Akihara Kagura nodded, then beckoned to Karin and openly ordered, "Investigate everyone who spoke. I'll kill them all after the meeting..."

"Do you think you can threaten us like this?"

"That's a joke!"

"Are you threatening the nobles of the Land of Fire?"

"This is not a threat."

Kagura Akihara interrupted them, speaking softly, "I'm serious. I'll kill all of those who spoke just now after the meeting..."

"!!!"

The ministers immediately shut their mouths.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire cowered and hid, reminded of the intimidating-looking Shimura Danzo from Konoha by this little guy named Akihara Kagura…

No.

This person was far more extreme in his actions than Danzo Shimura.

Even Shimura Danzo did not shout for war at such meetings; at most, he would give people a fierce and intimidating look that silenced them.

"Kagura..."

Tsunade sternly stopped Akihara Kagura.

"Lady Tsunade."

Akihara Kagura glanced at Tsunade with a puzzled look and continued, "Is Lady Tsunade trying to stop me to protect a noble minister who has committed a crime?"

"..."

Tsunade was immediately rendered speechless.

"Um, we'll talk about the murder after the meeting..."

Mitokado Homura quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "The purpose of this meeting is to elect the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. We, Konoha, propose that Lady Tsunade be appointed as the Fifth Hokage..."

Does anyone have a different opinion?

Kagura Akihara sized up the noble ministers present and repeated Homura Mitokado's words: "Our Konoha proposes that Lady Tsunade be appointed as the Fifth Hokage. If you have any different opinions, please feel free to raise them. After all, the selection of the Hokage still needs to be approved by the Daimyo..."

"..."

None of the noble ministers present dared to utter a sound.

Tsunade, that woman…

Killing the creditor was bad enough, but he also brought a killing machine to force the emperor to abdicate!

No one would believe that Akihara Kagura acted on his own initiative, because this guy had always been protecting Tsunade's interests, and Tsunade happened to be his superior...

"Looks like no one's objecting..."

Akihara Kagura glanced around and her gaze settled on the daimyo.

"Kagura, let me speak."

Tsunade rubbed her forehead, deeply feeling that the more help this Hokage's assistant could provide, the more trouble he could cause her.

"Please don't take Kagura's jokes to heart."

Tsunade looked at the noble ministers present: "If you have any objections, please feel free to refute them one by one. I can answer your questions about Konoha and the Hokage..."

"Then I'd like to ask..."

One of the ministers was clearly a bit incompetent.

Clang!

The sound of drawing the sword and sheathing it was so jarring!

So much so that everyone present couldn't help but shudder!

The minister immediately became obedient and cautiously inquired, "I would like to ask, when will Lady Tsunade hold the Hokage succession ceremony...?"

"..."

Tsunade fell silent.

The lord covered his face with his fan and dared not utter a sound.

The meeting ended in a state of fear and trepidation. All the nobles and ministers of the Land of Fire knew that the newly appointed Fifth Hokage was not someone to be trifled with, and no one dared to voice any objections to Tsunade's succession as the Fifth Hokage.

only…

Tsunade, who had been appointed by the Daimyo, didn't seem to look too good.

however…

This ordeal is not over yet.

After the meeting.

Everyone was planning to leave immediately.

Kagura Akihara stopped the group from leaving and asked, "Can't this meeting really continue a little longer? Our people haven't brought over the charges against those people yet. If I kill someone now, it would seem like indiscriminate killing, wouldn't it?"

"!!!"

Everyone present was somewhat shocked!

"etc…"

The Finance Minister of the Land of Fire looked at Akihara Kagura with disbelief and quickly asked, "Didn't we not raise any objections to Tsunade succeeding as the Fifth Hokage?"

"These are two different things."

Kagura Akihara shook her head and proactively reminded her, "Your attitude towards Konoha today wasn't respectful enough. I seriously suspect you might try to cut off Konoha's budget or something, or even hinder Konoha during wartime, especially now that Konoha is about to launch a war against Sunagakure and Kirigakure..."

"!!!"

That sentence was like a bombshell!

Many people present turned to look at Akihara Kagura!

"How come I didn't know!"

Tsunade was shocked and looked at Akihara Kagura in disbelief.

"Why start a war?"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire looked at Akihara Kagura with some surprise.

"Why not start a war?"

Akihara Kagura was even more shocked than them, looking at them in astonishment: "The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sand Village colluded with Orochimaru to murder the Third Hokage, shouldn't they be punished?"

After Akihara Kagura finished speaking, her gaze fell on the two Hokage advisors: "The two Hokage advisors also agreed to Konoha's decision to launch a war against Sunagakure and Kirigakure..."

"This…"

Mitokado Yan hesitated, unsure how to begin.

Koharu Utatane nodded, showing more responsibility than Homura Mitokado, and said softly, "Regarding Sarutobi's sacrifice, we do need to punish our former allies, Sunagakure and Kirigakure. However, it's too early to talk about that now. These two villages have been sending envoys to negotiate with us continuously..."

"It seems like the problem can be solved through negotiation..."

Tsunade stroked her chin, lost in thought.

"Even if negotiations are desired, the two villages must be punished accordingly."

Kagura Akihara shook her head, then casually pulled over the two Hokage advisors: "These are also the opinions of the two Hokage advisors. The Third Hokage's consistent policy of peace in the ninja world is predictably no longer suitable, and we must make some changes..."

"This…"

Mitokado Yan hesitated, unsure how to begin.

This time, Koharu Utatane hesitated for a moment before nodding again and saying, "We did discuss this, and Kagura's words made sense..."

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Tsunade nodded, interrupting Koharu Utatane.

"Then I'll kill someone first..."

Akihara Kagura immediately stood up and drew her ninja sword.

"No, no, no!"

A group of ministers from the Land of Fire quickly extended their hands, gesturing for Akihara Kagura to sit down: "We can sit down and talk slowly. Let's discuss the punishment of Kirigakure and Sunagakure here. War is no small matter after all..."

The meeting room immediately became lively.

The ministers of the Land of Fire whispered among themselves, discussing the war against the two villages, noting that the finances were sufficient to support it.

Perhaps seeing that the Hokage's assistant and two Hokage advisors from Konoha all supported the war, these ministers believed that Konoha had decided to wage war against the two villages. They would occasionally steal glances at the Konoha ninjas, but none of them questioned the war. Instead, they discussed what problems the war would bring and what situations they would encounter during the war.

"..."

When Tsunade saw this, she felt a slight pain in her forehead.

Tsunade looked at Akihara Kagura, only to see that Akihara Kagura was just listening to the group of ministers discussing with great interest. She then looked at the two Hokage advisors, who were just frowning and did not raise any questions.

"Isn't something wrong?"

Tsunade rubbed her temples, feeling that her first day as Hokage was full of troubles. She hadn't even held the Hokage ceremony yet, and she already had to face the possibility of war.

Especially…

The other two villages have already started negotiations.

Have these guys never experienced the brutality of the Ninja World War?

Having experienced the pain of two Shinobi World Wars, Tsunade did not want to start a so-called war at this time, especially since she was not very clear about the situation in Konoha!

"Stop arguing!"

Tsunade looked at the group of noisy ministers, slammed her fist on the table, and the entire conference table immediately shattered into pieces. Everyone was so frightened that they fell silent.

Tsunade glanced at Akihara Kagura and the two Hokage advisors, and commanded in a deep voice, "We'll discuss the war when we get back. I am the Hokage!"

"That...is fine."

Mitokado Hō and Utatane Koharu exchanged a glance.

Since Tsunade's suggestion aligned with their own ideas, they were only forced to agree by Akihara Kagura's words, and this was a convenient opportunity to delay.

"Can."

Akihara Kagura nodded, surprisingly agreeing as well: "Root is also preparing the offerings. I should be able to revive a few Hokage by Edo Tensei tomorrow, and then the deceased Third Hokage can speak..."

"after all…"

"The Third Hokage is the victim of this riot."

First update!

I had something to do tonight, so I'm a little late!
