Chapter 376: Promise (1)

Tsunade retorted without showing weakness: "Old man, why are you so stubborn, don't you know that the twisted melon is not sweet?"

"Tsunade, I really don't understand what you're thinking in your head!" said the Miyo Hokage.

"Old man, I don't understand what you're thinking!" Tsunade said.

"Tsunade, I'll be sixty years old next year!" asked the third Hokage, "Are you willing to be so disappointed by an old man who is almost the age of his sixtieth birthday?"

Hearing the three generations of Hokage ask this, a trace of hesitation appeared on Tsunade's face, but then he became firm and said, "Old man, although I will not inherit the position of Hokage, when there is a crisis in Konoha, I will still contribute my own strength!"

"Tsunade, I have no doubt that you will contribute to Konoha in times of crisis!" said the third Hokage, "but that's not what I want to hear!"

Seeing that the three generations of Hokage were still planning to continue to entangle themselves in inheriting the Hokage, Tsunade said directly: "Old man, if you don't have anything else, then I'll go!"

Seeing that Tsunade wanted to leave, the three generations of Hokage knew that he couldn't change Tsunade's mind without taking strong medicine.

So, the three generations of Hokage asked meaningfully, "Tsunade, don't you care about Ichiro's future?"

"Old man, what do you mean by that?" Tsunade frowned and asked after hearing the three generations of Hokage ask, "What do you mean I don't care about Ichiro's future?"

"Tsunade, from the moment Ichiro deliberately became your disciple to the series of actions he has shown in the Hyuga clan today, Ichiro's actions are not in line with what he should do at that age!" said the third Hokage.

"Old man, I don't think it's strange that Ichiro's actions don't fit in with what he should be doing at his age!" Tsunade said, "After all, Ichiro is a mature person!"

"Tsunade, didn't you see anything from what Ichiro did?" asked the third Hokage.

"Old man, I didn't see anything in Ichiro's actions!" Tsunade shook his head, then asked, "Could it be that you saw anything in Ichiro's actions?"

"Tsunade, it seems that Ichiro is deeply loved by you!" After carefully examining Tsunade's expression, the third Hokage sighed, "Otherwise, you can't see nothing!"

"Old man, if you have something to say, don't go around like this!" Tsunade looked at the three generations of Hokage and asked, "What exactly did you see from what Ichiro did?"

"Ambition!" said the third Hokage, "Tsunade, from what Ichiro did, I felt Ichiro's ambition!"

"Of course, Ichiro hasn't gone astray at this moment!"

"But it is undeniable that Ichiro and the former Orochimaru are becoming more and more similar - both are equally talented and equally ambitious!"

Hearing the three generations of Hokage say that Hinata Ichiro and Orochimaru are becoming more and more similar, Tsunade categorically denied, "Old man, I will never agree with your comment on Ichiro!"

"From what Ichiro did, you felt ambitious, but what I felt was a positive and enterprising spirit!"

"As for being talented, old man, what's wrong with being talented—is it wrong to be talented, and it's right to be shallow?"

"Tsunade, then how do you explain Ichiro's resurrection of the two Yukito and the study of Yin and Yang Escape!" said the third Hokage, "Orochimaru finally went astray in order to pursue the art of immortality and immortality and the art of resurrecting the dead!"

"Old man, what's wrong with Ichiro spending all his energy to resurrect the two Yugi people!" Tsunade said, "When resurrecting the two Yugi people, Ichiro didn't sacrifice the lives of others!"

"As for the study of Yin Yang Dun, old man, although I don't practice Yin Yang Dun now, I know how Ichiro studied Yin Yang Dun - in order to pursue the art of immortality and resurrection of the dead, Orochimaru who disregards life does not hesitate to use living people as experimental materials, but in the process of studying Yin Yang Dun, Ichiro has never thought of using living people as experimental materials!"

"Furthermore, there is neither good nor evil in power itself, nor is there right or wrong - whether it is the pursuit of immortality and the art of resurrecting the dead, or the study of yin and yang, as long as the mind and body are right and the means are right, it is not a problem at all!"

"Therefore, the Great Snake Pill that pursues the art of immortality and the art of resurrecting the dead will go astray, completely because of the evil heart and body of the Great Snake Pill and the extreme thinking!"

Speaking of this, Tsunade paused, and then said, "Old man, if you have to say that Ichiro shouldn't resurrect the two Yugi people and shouldn't study Yin and Yang Escape, then why don't you say that the fourth generation Hokage shouldn't develop the 'Ghoul Sealing Technique'!"

"As far as I know, the 'Ghoul Sealing Technique' developed by the four generations of Hokage is an extremely vicious sealing technique - the 'Ghoul Sealing Technique' is not only a sealing technique that will end up together, but also a sealing technique that will make both enemies and friends never live after death!"

"Also, don't talk to me about the fact that the Hokage can study forbidden arts-old man, even if the Hokage can study forbidden arts, the fourth generation Hokage must not have become the fourth generation Hokage when he developed the 'Ghoul Sealing Technique'!"

"Tsunade, how did you learn about the 'Ghoul Sealing Technique'?" the three Hokages asked in surprise, "It stands to reason that you shouldn't know about the 'Ghoul Sealing Technique'!"

"Old man, don't worry about how I learned about the 'Ghoul Sealing Technique'!" Tsunade said, "Let's talk about why you didn't say that the four generations of Hokage shouldn't have developed the 'Ghoul Sealing Technique'!"

"Tsunade, the four generations of Hokage developed the 'Ghoul Sealing Technique' for the sake of Konoha!" said the third generation Hokage, "Moreover, the four generations of Hokage have never abused ninjutsu!"

"Old man, could it be that the four generations of Hokage were able to predict in advance the incident of the Nine-Tails attack on the village more than two years ago?" Tsunade said, "Or was the fourth generation Hokage able to develop and master an S-class sealing technique during the period of the Nine-Tails Rebellion?"

"Neither—it's impossible for the four generations of Hokage to predict the Nine-Tails attack on the village more than two years ago in advance, nor to develop and master an S-class sealing technique during the period of the Nine-Tails Rebellion!"

"So, for the four generations of Hokage developing the 'Ghoul Sealing Technique', you can only say that the four generations of Hokage developed the 'Ghoul Sealing Technique' to improve their own strength, but you can't say that the four generations of Hokage developed the 'Ghoul Sealing Technique' for Konoha - of course, I don't deny that the four generations of Hokage have their hearts on Konoha and are willing to contribute everything they have to Konoha!"

"As for saying that the four generations of Hokage have never abused ninjutsu, old man, Ichiro has never abused ninjutsu either!"

Tsunade's words silenced the three Hokage - because the three Hokage didn't know how to speak for a while.

After a while.

The third generation Hokage looked at Tsunade and said with a calm face: "Tsunade, if you don't inherit the Hokage's position from me, then Ichiro may not be able to become the Hokage in the future!"

"Old man, what do you mean by that!" Hearing the three generations of Hokage say this, Tsunade suddenly became angry, and asked angrily, "What is Ichiro may not be able to become a Hokage in the future!"

"If you are dissatisfied with my failure to inherit the Hokage's position, then even if you are dissatisfied with me, why should you take your anger on Ichiro!"

"Could it be that when you can't achieve your goal, you will be angry with a six-year-old child who has made great contributions to Konoha when you are the Hokage?"

"Tsunade, although I have the experience of Orochimaru, I haven't had a negative sense of Ichiro at this time!" the third Hokage shook his head and said, "Therefore, although I am dissatisfied with you not inheriting the position of Hokage, I will not vent my dissatisfaction with you on Ichiro!"

"As for the fact that Ichiro may not be able to become a Hokage in the future, Tsunade, in addition to the Uchiha clan, although the ninjas in Konoha are all likely to become the new generation of Hokage, but in the lineage of inheritance from the first Hokage to the fourth Hokage, I think you also know what kind of premise it takes to become a Hokage!"

"Not bad!" Tsunade nodded and said, "Old man, from the lineage of inheritance from the first Hokage to the fourth Hokage, of course I know what kind of premise it takes to become a Hokage!"

"However, Ichiro doesn't also meet the prerequisites needed to become Hokage!"

The third Hokage said: "In order to ensure that the will of fire created by the first Hokage can be passed on forever in Konoha, the person who inherits the Hokage must be someone related to the first Hokage - either a blood relative of the first Hokage, or a disciple of the first Hokage!"

"Although such a premise of inheriting the Hokage is unfair to most of Konoha ninjas, it is precisely because of the existence of such a premise of inheriting the Hokage, so Konoha not only stands tall in the ninja wars again and again, but also prospers more and more - of course, it is not necessary to have the prerequisite required to inherit the Hokage to become the Hokage, and if you want to inherit the Hokage, you also need to be recognized by everyone in Konoha!"

"In addition, the Hokage is not only a position, but also politics - politics, there is only recognition, there is no fairness!"

"Not bad!"

"Tsunade, from the moment Ichiro became your disciple, Ichiro has the prerequisite to inherit the Hokage!"

"But that's not enough for Ichiro to become Hokage in the future!"

"Old man, I'm full of confidence that Ichiro will be recognized by the Konoha people in the future!" Tsunade said unconcernedly.

"No!" the third Hokage shook his head and said, "Tsunade, your idea is too naïve!"

"Of course, I'm not surprised that you have such naïve thoughts - after all, it has something to do with the fact that you've never experienced things as a Konoha high-up!"

"Old man, why am I so naïve?" asked Tsunade, puzzled.

The third generation of Hokage opened his mouth and said, "Tsunade, if you don't plan to inherit the Hokage's position from me, then I will definitely have to cultivate another Hokage heir who meets the Hokage's inheritance prerequisites......"

"Isn't this just right, old man!" Tsunade said as he interrupted the three Hokages.

"Tsunade, wait until I'm done, you don't speak again!" said the third Hokage.

"Good!" said Tsunade, "old man, then you go ahead!"

"Tsunade, from the first Hokage to the fourth Hokage, it was passed down from the high-ranking generation to the low-ranking generation, and it has never changed!"

"So, I had no choice but to choose Mizumon, who made great contributions in the Third Ninja World War - at that time, Mizuto was not only a disciple of Jiraiya, but also a meritorious ninja with great prestige!"

"At my insistence, Mizuto successfully inherited the position of the Hokage from me!"

"In other words, when Watergate successfully inherited the Hokage's position from me, both Jiraiya and you have lost the opportunity to inherit the Hokage - after all, Watergate's seniority is lower than Jiraiya and you, and more importantly, Watergate is younger than Jiraiya and you!"

"Under normal circumstances, when Mizuto is willing to give up the Hokage's position, Jiraiya and you must be already dying......

"Old man, although Jiraiya and I will be dying of old age by then, isn't there still Ichiro!" Tsunade interrupted the words of the third Hokage again, and said, "Ichiro is much younger than the fourth Hokage!"

Seeing that Tsunade interrupted his words again, the three generations of Hokage felt a little helpless, but he didn't think too much, but continued: "Tsunade, what you said is right, Ichiro's age is indeed much younger than Mizumon, but Ichiro's age is younger than Mizuto, it doesn't mean that Ichiro can inherit the Hokage's position from Mizuto!"

"Why?" asked Tsunade.

The three Hokages didn't answer Tsunade's words directly, but instead asked, "Tsunade, do you love Ichiro?"

"Of course!" Tsunade affirmed without hesitation.

After listening to Tsunade's affirmative answer without hesitation, the three generations of Hokage asked rhetorically: "Tsunade, you love Ichiro, don't you love your own disciples?"

When the three generations of Hokage said this, Tsunade's mind turned, and a sudden look appeared on his face - obviously, Tsunade had understood why the three generations of Hokage had said that his thoughts were too naïve.

Looking at the sudden look on Tsunade's face, the three generations of Hokage knew that Tsunade had understood where his innocence was.

Seeing this, although there was no fluctuation on the faces of the three generations of Hokage, they secretly thought in their hearts: "Okay! Okay! Okay! As long as you work harder, Tsunade will definitely be able to change his mind under his own persuasion!"

So, the three generations of Hokage said in one go: "Tsunade, if Ichiro is always on the right path, then I don't deny that Ichiro will be able to gain the approval of the people of Konoha in the future!"

"However, if the disciples of the Water Gate have also won the recognition of the people of Konoha, then when competing for the Hokage, do you think that Ichiro's competitive advantage can outweigh the competitive advantage of the disciples of the Water Gate who has the current Hokage as the master?"
