Chapter 230 The Hokage's Interference in Politics! I Stand with Lady Tsunade!

The Konoha leadership has left the Daimyo's residence.

Some ministers from the Land of Fire immediately relaxed after seeing them leave, assuming that the Konoha ninjas had let them go.

however…

Karin and the Root ninjas remained motionless in the conference room.

"you…"

While the ministers of the Land of Fire were still somewhat puzzled.

"Kill them."

Karin adjusted her glasses and placed several pieces of evidence on the conference room table: "These are their incriminating evidence; we didn't commit indiscriminate killing."

Clang!

This time, he really drew his sword!

A group of Root ninjas moved swiftly, quickly landing behind several ministers and killing them with swift, decisive strokes of their blades, their blood splattering throughout the meeting room!

"This is…"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire trembled with fear.

As the highest authority in the Land of Fire, the Daimyo's status has always been extremely revered, and no one dares to overstep or offend him. Even the former Twelve Guardian Ninja would deliberately avoid him when they fought amongst themselves.

This is the first time...

Someone was killing people with impunity right in front of him.

After Karin and the Root ninja finished their killing spree, they left the conference room. A group of nobles from the Land of Fire were so frightened that they dared not move, and some even wet their pants.

"This new Hokage of Konoha is too overbearing..."

The nobleman had barely uttered a word when he was immediately stopped by those around him.

Even though it was Akihara Kagura and the Root ninjas who did the work, these nobles and ministers subconsciously blamed Tsunade, the new Hokage, because Tsunade did indeed seem to be the one in charge of everything behind the scenes.

"Ahem...Alright, everyone disperse!"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire couldn't help but cough a few times. He also harbored resentment towards Tsunade, but was too afraid to say it outright at this moment. Instead, he instructed the servant beside him, "Help me go back to my bedroom to change..."

"..."

A group of ministers immediately left the meeting room.

These pampered individuals, having been so well protected by Konoha, have always treated ninjas as tools to maintain their rule, forgetting that sharp tools are meant to kill.

"Um?"

Tsunade glanced at her Hokage's guard, then looked curiously behind Akihara Kagura: "Kagura, where are the Root ninjas?"

"They caught up with us after they killed people."

Kagura Akihara smiled and offered a suggestion: "Those ministers who might have objections to Lady Tsunade could hinder the war between Kirigakure and Sunagakure. It's not appropriate for the Hokage to handle these matters. The Root ninjas will take care of eliminating them..."

"As long as it doesn't harm the daimyo, it's fine."

Koharu Utatane had anticipated this, and nodded slightly, saying, "Kagura is right, these people could indeed potentially hinder Konoha in the future..."

"Let's postpone the war..."

Mitokado Homura nodded and continued, "Didn't you say you wanted to revive the monkey first? Let the monkey and the past Hokage give their opinions!"

"Um."

Tsunade nodded.

Based on Tsunade's understanding of the previous Hokage, they would most likely agree to a negotiated solution, as most of the previous Hokage did not approve of unnecessary sacrifices.

however…

Tsunade's idea is very good.

However, reality deviated slightly from expectations.

the next day.

Inside the Hokage Building's meeting room.

Tsunade and two Hokage advisors arrived here.

A group of Root ninjas and Anbu members were scattered around the area, preventing anyone from approaching the Hokage Building and avoiding the discovery of what was about to happen in the conference room.

"Kagura?"

Koharu Utatane gazed at Kagura Akihara and whispered, "Tsunade's succession ceremony is this afternoon. Shouldn't we resurrect all the previous Hokage to witness Tsunade's ascension to the Fifth Hokage?"

"This is the requirement of the previous Hokage."

"I resurrected them yesterday; they wanted to see the future of the village..."

Akihara Kagura stood in the middle of the office, raised her palm, and completed the hand seals for the summoning jutsu: "Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!"

Four black runes appeared on the ground!

Four coffins emerged from the black incantations!

Mitokado Homura stared wide-eyed in shock at the four coffins that had appeared, involuntarily standing up: "Have all the previous Hokage really been resurrected?"

"Um."

Akihara Kagura nodded.

The four coffin lids behind Akihara Kagura slammed down with a thud, and the four Hokage suddenly opened their eyes, staring at everyone present!

Tsunade was already mentally prepared, but when she saw the First Hokage and the Second Hokage, she was still somewhat shocked and said, "Great-Grandpa... Second-Grandpa..."

"Xiao Gang!"

When the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, saw Tsunade, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "It's been a long time! You've grown so much..."

"Brother, after all, we've been dead for so many years..."

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, coldly reminded his older brother, his gaze falling on Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado: "Koharu, Homura, you're here too..."

"The Second Hokage!"

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mito immediately became respectful, their eyes also falling on the short old man beside them, and they suddenly realized something.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The two Hokage advisors never imagined they would see their old friend again, only to find that this friend, with whom they had known each other for nearly seventy years, was now gone.

"Watergate..."

The two Hokage advisors also saw the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

"haven't seen you for a long time…"

Minato Namikaze laughed somewhat embarrassedly.

"The four Hokage believed that since they were deceased, it was inconvenient for them to stay in the Hokage Building indefinitely, in order to avoid being discovered by other living people and causing panic in the village."

Kagura Akihara opened her palm and took the initiative to bring up the issue of the placement of the past Hokage: "The four Hokage will usually reside in Root, and will only use the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel between Root and the Hokage Building when they are involved in politics..."

"..."

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado both nodded at the same time.

"..."

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, seemingly unable to voice any objections. Seeing that the four Hokage had no objections, she nodded and said, "That's fine too."

"..."

The four Hokage all turned their gazes toward Akihara Kagura.

Is this what they were thinking?

However, Akihara Kagura's actions did align with their thinking, as it was indeed inconvenient for these people to appear at the Hokage Building on ordinary days.

"alright."

Hashirama Senju avoided the topic that made him unhappy and looked at Tsunade with a grin, saying, "Didn't you say Tsunade was going to hold the Fifth Hokage inauguration ceremony today?"

"First Lord."

Koharu, who was a little unaccustomed to this, still took the initiative to answer: "Tsunade's succession ceremony is this afternoon, in a few hours."

"Let's discuss the matter first!"

Tobirama Senju's gaze fell on Kagura Akihara, and he said in a deep voice, "This brat says that you juniors have something you can't decide on..."

"Yes."

Mitokado Homura nodded, looking at his old friend Hiruzen Sarutobi, and said softly, "We are discussing whether to launch a war to punish Kirigakure and Sunagakure for colluding with Orochimaru to kill Hiruzen, but they have also sent a request for peace talks..."

just now…

Sarutobi has been resurrected…

Do they really still need to start a war?

Mitokado Homura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and felt something was off. How could a war be launched in the name of Sarutobi Hiruzen's murder, and how could the victim, Sarutobi Hiruzen, be allowed to participate in the war?

of course.

Mitokado Yan deliberately avoided asking Shimura Danzo a question.

to be frank.

The four resurrected Hokage even felt a chill run down their spines.

Because Sunagakure, Kirigakure, and even Orochimaru were all manipulated by Akihara Kagura, the true mastermind behind this riot was standing right in front of them.

"Then there's no need to start a war, right?"

Hashirama Senju blurted out those words without thinking.

"I also…"

Hiruzen Sarutobi also wanted to agree with the First Hokage's opinion.

next moment!

The four Hokage present received a message from Akihara Kagura through their mental will, demanding that they support the war against the two ninja villages.

"..."

The four Hokage frowned simultaneously.

"Punish them is also an option."

Tobirama Senju understood the situation best; he believed in Kagura Akihara's power, along with the four resurrected Hokage...

to be frank.

At this stage, Konoha should have no problem waging war on two fronts.

Kagura Akihara and Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, could single-handedly sweep through an entire ninja village if they each took action, unless another ninja village produced someone like Madara Uchiha.

Is this even possible?

If they did, they would never negotiate with Konoha!

Tobirama Senju was the most sensitive to this situation and the one who could best understand the situation. Since he could not resist Kagura Akihara, he might as well take this opportunity to gain benefits for Konoha.

This war is advantageous to Konoha.

Moreover, Sunagakure and Kirigakure betrayed Konoha first. If we don't suppress them while Konoha is at its strongest, are we going to wait until these two villages become powerful before they threaten Konoha again?

"This is an excellent opportunity."

Before anyone could offer an opinion, Tobirama Senju continued in a deep voice, "Now is the strongest time for Konoha. Immediately launch a thunderous offensive to defeat them, forcing the two ninja villages to sign harsh agreements with Konoha, forcing them to forever stand on Konoha's side..."

"I also agree with the Second Hokage's opinion."

Akihara Kagura nodded quickly, offering a reminder: "Besides, they still have quite a few prisoners in our hands..."

"These two villages are not strong right now. The Fourth Kazekage died at Orochimaru's hands, and Kirigakure is without a Mizukage, and their master has also perished..."

Are the two villages leaderless?

Senju Tobirama felt that this opportunity might never come again, and looked at everyone present: "This is indeed an excellent opportunity..."

"Tobirama..."

Before Hashirama Senju could even reprimand his younger brother, his body began to spiral out of control, and the image of Kagura Akihara appeared in his mind.

I disagree.

Tsunade raised her objection, opposing the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's initiative to wage war: "Since they've already negotiated..."

"Tsunade, my decision was the right one..."

Tobirama Senju gazed at Tsunade and said in a deep voice, "As Hokage, you must consider Konoha's well-being to the greatest extent possible..."

"Second Grandfather".

Tsunade looked at Tobirama Senju and earnestly reminded her great-uncle, "Times have changed. Past experiences may not be applicable now. I am now the Fifth Hokage of Konoha..."

"Tsunade, you'll regret this."

Tobirama Senju shook his head, looked at everyone present, and his gaze fell on Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado: "Koharu, Homura, do you have any objections?"

"Actually, Lady Tsunade is right..."

Kagura Akihara suddenly stood on Tsunade's side.

"Kid, you..."

Tobirama Senju stared at Kagura Akihara in disbelief. He had finally managed to convince himself to stand by Kagura's side for the sake of Konoha...

How did this brat end up on Tsunade's side?!

A group of Hokage also turned their heads, looking at Akihara Kagura with some surprise. Had this kid changed his personality?

"The Second Hokage."

Kagura Akihara glanced at everyone present and offered her opinion: "Yesterday we killed some noble ministers, and the daimyo of the Land of Fire is likely harboring resentment towards Lady Tsunade..."

"We want to start a war. To ensure peace in the rear, we must first eliminate the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Fire and install those who belong to..."

"etc!"

"I agree with the Second Hokage's opinion."

Koharu Utatane immediately interrupted Kagura Akihara.

"I also agree with the Second Hokage's opinion."

Mitokado Homura turned to look at Akihara Kagura and brought up the idea that Shimura Danzo had once expressed when he wanted to kill him: "Kagura, there's no need to go to extremes and eliminate the daimyo and nobles. As long as we launch an external war, the internal conflicts of the Land of Fire will be resolved..."

"I also agree with the Second Hokage..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze could only sigh.

Compared to launching a war, directly eliminating the daimyo is too extreme.

"I still support Tobirama..."

I feel it's better to support Tobirama Senju than Hashirama Senju.

"I still agree with Lady Tsunade's opinion."

Akihara Kagura clearly sided with Tsunade.

After everyone present had finished voting, their gazes turned to the current Fifth Hokage, Tsunade.

"..."

Tsunade looked at Kagura with a somewhat complicated expression.

Second update!

I have something to do today!
