Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Although they came here for revenge, it was unwise of them to attack Lianye in the office.

After all, this is their territory.

Upon hearing this, Lei Ying Ai calmed down.

Did you bring your congratulatory gifts?

Seeing this, Lianye knew that a fight was unlikely, so she looked at the group of ninja from the delegation.

"I brought it."

Although everyone was unwilling, they had no choice but to swallow their anger due to the oppressive power.

no way.

Who can blame them when Konoha is the most powerful village in the ninja world?

Other villages are simply incomparable to it.

Konoha used to be stronger than other villages, but not to the point of being completely outmatched.

But times have changed.

At this point, Konoha Village was so powerful that they couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.

This gap cannot be bridged by tactics, strategies, or sheer willpower.

Just like no matter how many ants there are, they can't kill an elephant—unless the elephant collapses on its own.

"Not bad, not bad."

Lian Ye looked at the mountain of gift lists and silver notes in front of her and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Konoha Village is so powerful, yet it doesn't attack others.

This alone is enough to make other villages willingly give money.

Consider it a protection fee.

The mission did not linger.

After paying the money, signing the papers, and exchanging a few pleasantries, we completed the transaction.

To be precise, after exchanging a few pleasantries, I hurriedly took my leave.

Nobody wants to stay in the Hokage's office for even a second longer.

Lian Ye watched Lei Ying Ai's departing figure, and she knew perfectly well what was going on.

A brute is a brute; his thoughts are written all over his face.

"Lianye, is what you're doing really okay?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was worried that his actions would offend all the villages.

It would be bad if war broke out again then.

Danzo Shimura gave him a disapproving look.

Hiruzen is really too weak.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what Lian Ye did.

The weak must submit to the strong; this is the ironclad rule of the ninja world.

Konoha Village has finally become this strong, so naturally it doesn't need to be subservient to others.

The other villages should be the ones who are afraid!

"You guys continue processing the documents." Renye didn't answer Hiruzen's question, stood up, stretched, and walked back to the balcony.

The sun is shining brightly.

It was warm and sunny, so warm it made your bones feel soft.

As for Raikage A?

He didn't take it to heart at all.

That guy wouldn't dare to make a move in the village, so we might not have another chance to run into him.

Konoha Village entrance.

"By the way, are we just going to give up like this?!"

Lei Ying Ai Bai Bai missed the opportunity to fight Lian Ye, and his face showed resentment.

hateful!

Since they didn't make a move in the office before, they probably won't have the chance now.

Unless he sneaks into the village to assassinate Lianye.

However, the success rate is obviously very low; the security in Konoha Village is not to be underestimated.

"Brother, let's wait a little longer."

Kirabi tried to persuade his older brother, fearing that he might do something foolish in a moment of impulse.

The moment Yamata saw Renya, he frantically warned him that the other person was dangerous.

Otherwise, he would have already teamed up with his older brother to fight against Lian Ye.

"Row."

Since things have come to this, this is the only way.

If the village can develop, it will be on par with Konoha Village.

At that time, they will be able to unite with other villages to launch a war against Konoha.

Then I can take my revenge.

Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh.

Raikage A devoted his entire life to governing the village, but ultimately he never surpassed Konoha.

On the contrary, the gap between the two is widening.

Even in the final moments of his life, he continued to strive to make the village stronger.

"Why……"

The aging Raikage A tried many methods, but ultimately failed to enable Kumogakure to surpass Konoha.

What's most infuriating is that he's about to die.

The man who killed his father is still alive and well.

Is that guy a turtle?

I'm so unwilling to accept this...

……

……

P.S.: I haven't had time to write the new book these past two days because I've been working overtime. This book will be completely finished tomorrow, and then I can start updating the new book regularly.

This book is more slice-of-life; the next book will mix action and slice-of-life elements.

If you like this, please give me a small gift! This struggling author is begging you again, sob sob...

Chapter 59 The Two Who Didn't Want to Be Hokage

The Hokage's office.

"You two did a good job."

Lian Ye lay on a recliner on the balcony, her voice drifting lazily in from the doorway.

He was very fond of the two free cattle and horses.

With them, I no longer need to struggle with paperwork.

If I just laze around for another year or two, I can retire and lie down. Then Danzo or Hiruzen can take over, and I can stay home and relax in peace.

Just thinking about life makes me feel so happy.

In the office, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura sat at their respective desks, with two tall stacks of documents piled up in front of them.

After taking office, Renya reformed the system for Hokage to review documents, delegating most of the authority to his assistant. However, Konoha still had a lot of affairs to handle every day.

Even after the reforms, it still takes the two of them several hours each day to finish clearing the day's documents.

After approving a resource request, Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his sore eyes and suddenly felt that being Hokage wasn't appealing at all anymore.

Back when he was in ninja school, a teacher asked him what his dream was, and he raised his hand and said he wanted to be Hokage. The students around him even applauded.

Looking back now, I realize I was completely fooled.

Every day is spent processing documents; there's practically no time to rest.

Why not just stay home and sunbathe?

He had already planned to work there for a while longer before running away, leaving Danzo to handle the documents alone.

He won't compete with the other party for the Hokage position in the future. He's not going to take the position, since he can see his own future clearly.

After Shimura Danzo finished approving a mission report, he looked up at someone sunbathing on the balcony and sighed silently.

He used to think that the Hokage was the pinnacle of power, the most prestigious position in the village.

Now he understands that the glamour is superficial; the real danger was almost killing him from exhaustion.

How could an average person endure such a workload?

You should know that when other people become Hokage, they don't dare to leave all the political affairs to their assistants like Renya did; they have to do everything themselves.

Upon realizing this, Danzo suddenly understood Renya.

He's not lazy, he's genuinely smart!

"You two, don't slack off!"

Lian Ye noticed that the two were in a daze and immediately urged them on.

The office isn't well-lit, so if I don't leave work soon, I won't be able to go home and enjoy the sunshine.

Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi exchanged a glance, both seeing the same thought in each other's eyes.

Case solved.

On the surface, they were the Hokage's assistants, but in reality, they were the Hokage's free labor.

To put it bluntly, they are like hardworking oxen and horses.

Lian Ye probably approved less than ten documents in total; the rest were all done by the two of them.

If they had the chance to do it all over again, they would never agree to be the Hokage's assistant.

Chun Chun is just asking for trouble.

Three years later.

"Who among you wants to become Hokage?"

Lian Ye rarely walked from the balcony into the office, but she sat in the main seat with a serious expression.

He had long harbored the idea of ​​retiring.

The fact that he was allowed to serve as Hokage for three years was entirely out of respect for Tobirama Senju; otherwise, he probably would have run away long ago.

The time is right; it's time to hand over the position and go home to enjoy my carefree life.

Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi were stunned by what they heard.

The two looked at each other, and both saw a strong sense of resistance in each other's eyes.

That's right, it's resistance.

For the past three years, they have had enough of being treated like beasts of burden, reviewing documents until their hands were sore and attending meetings until their legs were sore, with all the village affairs weighing on their shoulders.

Lian Ye had an easy life. She would come to the office on time every day, lie down for a while, and leave when it was time. She also had weekends off.

How could I possibly agree to that now?
