Chapter 193 Returning to the Village
After spending some time in the forest, Yoru returned to the inn.
Just then, Tsunade resolved the debt collection issue.
Tsunade thought Yoru hadn't noticed they had gone out.
The next day, the group set off again.
The ninjas were fast, and it only took them a few days to return to Konoha Village.
Looking at Konoha, which she hadn't seen for several years, Tsunade sighed, "It hasn't changed much."
Jiraiya, who was standing nearby, said, "Although the damage caused by Orochimaru's attack has been repaired, the village still lost many ninjas."
"After all, it was a surprise attack, and it happened in a village, so heavy losses were inevitable."
"Tsunade said."
Since the Third Hokage is dead, Yoru doesn't need to hand over any missions to him.
Seeing that Yoru was about to leave, Tsunade called out to him, "Where are you going?"
Yoru looked at Tsunade and said, "Go back and rest."
Tsunade walked over, pulled Yoru along, and said, "What rest? You're my bodyguard now. Come with me to see the Hokage's advisor."
Ye Yu said helplessly, "But you haven't taken office yet."
Tsunade said somewhat domineeringly, "Does that mean I can't give you orders even though I haven't taken office?"
"It's possible, but I don't need to meet with the two Hokage advisors."
Yoru had no problem with the two Hokage advisors, but they were both stubborn old men, and Yoru didn't really like dealing with them.
However, Tsunade pulled Yoru along and said, "You're a Jonin now, and my bodyguard. We definitely need to let the two Hokage advisors know about you, and they need to understand you."
Judging from his conversation with Jiraiya, Yoru had never met the two Hokage advisors.
Tsunade intended for Yoru to get to know people beforehand, at least to become familiar to the two high-ranking officials.
After all, Tsunade wanted to train Yoru to become the Sixth Hokage.
How can the Hokage be effective without the support of the Konoha leadership?
This was evident in the conflict between Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze back then.
Although Minato Namikaze had a distinguished record of military achievements, he was too young and had little chance of becoming Hokage.
He definitely wouldn't have become Hokage if it weren't for the support of the Third Hokage and two Hokage advisors.
After all, becoming the Hokage isn't just about having great strength.
We still need the support of others.
Moreover, they were not ordinary villagers, but various factions within the village, and most importantly, the support of the Konoha leadership.
Yoru had no idea that Tsunade wanted him to become Hokage.
He simply thought that Tsunade wanted him to get to know the higher-ups in Konoha.
Tsunade pulled Yoru along as they headed to the Hokage Building.
Jiraiya walked behind her, looking on with envy, and said, "It's rare to see Tsunade so enthusiastic. It's as if the young Tsunade has returned."
Walking beside Jiraiya, Naruto asked in confusion, "Granny Tsunade when she was young?"
Jiraiya nodded. "Tsunade wasn't like this when she was young."
However, Jiraiya didn't think Tsunade was too kind to Yoru, as Yoru certainly had the ability.
In Jiraiya's eyes, Yoru was the one who killed Orochimaru, and his strength was already the strongest in Konoha.
Tsunade and even Konoha will need Yoru's protection in the future.
Jiraiya had no idea that Orochimaru could be resurrected.
Tsunade led Yoru to the Hokage Building.
Because the gatekeeper at the village entrance had already informed the Hokage's advisor, Tsunade, of her return.
The two of them were already waiting for Tsunade in the Hokage's room.
Upon seeing the two, Tsunade greeted them somewhat irreverently, "Oh, you two teachers are still so energetic."
The two looked at Tsunade, their brows furrowed.
They noticed Yoru standing next to Tsunade.
Ye Yu nodded slightly.
My first impression was pretty good.
The two Hokage advisors had only heard the Third Hokage mention Yoru before, and they had also looked up Yoru's information.
According to the records, Yoru was just an average person, since the records only showed Yoru's performance at the Ninja Academy.
Therefore, we can't tell anything from the information.
But now that they've met in person, the two are quite satisfied.
Putting everything else aside, Yoru was much more polite than Tsunade.
The two exchanged a glance and said, "Tsunade, Jiraiya should have already told you about the situation in the village, right?"
Tsunade sat down and said casually, "I've already said it, the situation in the village is very bad right now."
"The village needs a Hokage to take charge of the overall situation. We will immediately inform the Daimyo that you will become the Fifth Hokage in three days."
Orochimaru's destruction of Konoha was too severe, resulting in the loss of many ninjas, and the village had been without a Hokage for a long time, while other villages were eager to make a move.
Tsunade must take office as soon as possible.
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Do as you please. You two old folks definitely know these procedures better than I do."
Tsunade's nonchalant attitude displeased the two Hokage advisors.
"Tsunade~"
Seeing that the two were about to get angry, Tsunade smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. You can make the arrangements."
The two Hokage advisors were also somewhat helpless.
They certainly wanted Tsunade to become Hokage, but Tsunade's personality really disappointed them.
After all, the two are older, so it's normal that they couldn't stand Tsunade's lack of respect.
Ye Yu stood aside watching this scene. He used to find these two Hokage advisors quite annoying.
But now, why does Tsunade seem even more unreliable?
After all, becoming Hokage is the most important thing for the village.
Tsunade didn't take it seriously at all, and besides, the two Hokage advisors were elders of the village, people of her teacher's generation.
Even if she is the granddaughter of the first generation, she is still a disciple of the third generation, which means she is a generation younger than these two old guys.
Tsunade really doesn't respect the two of them anymore.
However, this kind of trivial matter is none of Ye Yu's business.
He's just here to make himself known.
Afterwards, the two explained the procedures for the Hokage inauguration ceremony to Tsunade before leaving with worried expressions.
The concern stemmed from their belief that Tsunade's unreliable personality made her unsuitable for the role of Hokage.
Of course, if they were given the choice, they would still choose Tsunade.
They just hoped Tsunade would take it more seriously.
Being Hokage is no child's play.
After the two Hokage advisors left, Tsunade stretched her limbs.
She seemed quite tired.
But just now, the two Hokage advisors were standing while she was sitting. No matter how you look at it, the two Hokage advisors should have been more tired.
Yoru thought to himself, "It's fortunate that Shizune is there to assist her, otherwise Tsunade's personality would definitely paralyze the administrative system of Konoha."
After all, Tsunade's personality doesn't seem like she would seriously handle political affairs.
It's probably being handled on silent mode most of the time.
All she needs to do is stamp and sign.
Tsunade stretched her limbs and turned to look at Yoru. "How about it? Those two old guys are pretty old-fashioned, aren't they?"
Tsunade's attempt to shift the blame left Yoru speechless.
"It was clearly you who disrespected those two. They are, after all, two consultants. You didn't give them any face at all, yet they were still able to calmly explain the procedures to you. I think those two are very well-mannered."
Tsunade was taken aback. "No way, you actually said that? You don't hate them?"
Tsunade thought Yoru would side with her.
Ye Yu shook her head. "I don't dislike them. They have good tempers. At least I don't have their patience."
Indeed, if it were me, and a junior acted so presumptuously in front of me, I wouldn't give her a friendly look, even if I didn't resort to violence.
