Chapter 377: Promise (2)
"Impossible!" Tsunade said with an ugly face after being silent for a moment, "When competing for the Hokage, the competitive advantage of having a fourth-generation Hokage disciple who is currently the Hokage as a master is far superior to Ichiro's competitive advantage!"
"Yes!" Following Tsunade's words, the third generation Hokage said, "Tsunade, even if Mizuto doesn't say anything, when competing for the Hokage, the competitive advantage of having a Mizuto disciple who is currently the Hokage as a master is still far superior to Ichiro's competitive advantage!"
"Old man, what you said is not wrong at all, there is no need for the four generations of Hokage to express or imply anything for their disciples!" Listening to the words of the three generations of Hokage, Tsunade's face became more and more ugly, but he had to agree.
"If a pair of parents really love their children, then the parents will definitely think about their children's future!" the third generation Hokage said, "In the same way, if a master really loves his disciple, then this master must also think about the future of his disciple!"
Speaking of this, the three generations of Hokage stopped talking and looked at Tsunade quietly - judging from Tsunade's feelings for Hinata Ichiro, the three generations of Hokage believe that Tsunade will not think about Hinata's future!
"Old man, I know what you mean by that!" Tsunade said with a shaken look on his face, "but can you let me go back and think about it for a while—after all, I can't change the concept I hold on to all at once!"
Looking at the wavering look on Tsunade's face, the three generations of Hokage knew that convincing Tsunade to inherit the Hokage was about to succeed.
However, in order to prevent an unexpected situation, the third generation Hokage does not intend to let Tsunade go back and think about it.
So, the third Hokage said, "Tsunade, if I were you, I would never say such a thing!"
"Why?" asked Tsunade, confused.
"Tsunade, if you go back and think about it for a while, then some things won't be clear!" said the third Hokage.
"Old man, what can't you say?" asked Tsunade.
"Tsunade, are you teaching Ichiro medical theories every day?" asked the third Hokage.
"Not bad!" said Tsunade, "Old man, I teach Ichiro medical theories every day!"
"Tsunade, then you're going to meet Ichiro every day, right?" the Miyo Hokage continued.
"What the hell are you going to say, old man!" Tsunade said with a frown.
The third Hokage looked at Tsunade and said, "Tsunade, if I were you, I would give an answer on the spot whether I would inherit the Hokage or not, instead of going back and thinking about it for a while and then giving an answer on whether I would inherit the Hokage!"
"As for the reason for this, Tsunade, if you go back and think about it for a while and then give an answer on whether or not you will inherit the Hokage, Naichiro may have to bear the trouble that you didn't have to bear!"
"Old man, it's my own business to go back and think about it for a while before giving an answer on whether or not I will inherit the Hokage, why would my own affairs make Ichiro suffer trouble that he didn't need to bear?" asked Tsunade with a puzzled expression.
The third Hokage explained: "Tsunade, once you go back and think about it for a while and then give an answer on whether you will inherit the Hokage, and at the same time, during the period of time you go back to think about it, you have met with Ichiro every day, then when you give the answer of whether you will marry the Hokage, it is nothing more than two situations - either agree to inherit the Hokage's position from me, or refuse to inherit the Hokage's position from me!"
"If you agree to inherit the Hokage's position from me, then can I think that you were influenced by Ichiro - in order to inherit the Hokage's position from you, Ichiro forced you to agree to inherit the Hokage's position from me!"
"If you refuse to inherit the Hokage's position from me, then can I think that you have been influenced by Ichiro - in order to conform to your wishes, Ichiro forced you to refuse to inherit the Hokage's position from me!"
The former shows Ichiro's ambition, and the latter shows Ichiro's lack of overall situation. ”
Speaking of which, the three Hokage asked, "Tsunade, are you willing to let Ichiro suffer trouble that he didn't have to bear?"
"Old man, I don't have to talk to Ichiro about whether or not I'll inherit the Hokage!" Tsunade said.
"Tsunade, the point of the matter is not whether you discuss with Ichiro whether or not you will inherit the Hokage!" said the third Hokage, "as long as you meet with Ichiro, even if you don't discuss with Ichiro whether or not you will inherit the Hokage, do you think others will believe your empty words?"
"Old man, I can not meet Ichiro during this period of time!" Tsunade said.
"Tsunade, why don't you understand!" said the third Hokage, "The point is that you can't cause others to misunderstand Ichiro!"
"Although you may not see Ichiro for a while while you are considering, just because you don't see each other doesn't mean that you can't contact each other!"
"Old man, I think you know who I am!" Tsunade said.
"Tsunade, I know who you are, but I know it's useless!" The third generation Hokage knocked his pipe and said, "After the sacrifice of the fourth generation Hokage, the reason why I returned to the position of the Hokage is not because I want to regain power, but because the undercurrent of Konoha at that time was turbulent - after you and Jiraiya refused to serve as the fifth generation Hokage, since Konoha has no suitable candidate to become the Hokage, therefore, in order to compete for the position of the Hokage vacated by the fourth generation Hokage, the Konoha high-level and the major families of Konoha are secretly competing!"
"At that time, if I don't choose to return to the Hokage's position, there are only two options for the Hokage's vacated position by the four generations of Hokage - either it will fall into the hands of Orochimaru, or it will fall into the hands of someone who is not in the Hokage's lineage!"
"Regarding the position of the Hokage, whether it falls into the hands of Orochimaru or in the hands of someone who is not from the Hokage's lineage, I don't want to see it - if the Hokage's position falls into the hands of Orochimaru, then Orochimaru is very likely to introduce Konoha into an unknowable future, and if the Hokage's position falls into the hands of someone who is not from the Hokage's lineage, then the will of fire is likely to be broken!"
"After that, although the matter of competing for the position of the Hokage vacated by the four generations of Hokage ended with me returning to the Hokage's position, the announcement of the end does not mean that the original undercurrent has subsided - Tsunade, if you let other people misunderstand Ichiro, it will be much more difficult for Ichiro to inherit the Hokage from you in the future!"
"So, I think it's better for you to tell me the answer of whether or not you will inherit the Hokage now!"
"Old man, you're forcing me to make a decision!" Tsunade said.
"Tsunade, I'm not forcing you to make a decision, I'm thinking about you and Ichiro!" said the Miyo Hokage.
Looking at the three generations of Hokage, Tsunade fell into silence for a moment.
And seeing Tsunade's silence, the three generations of Hokage knew that Tsunade was weighing whether he inherited the Hokage.
In this regard, the third Hokage did not continue to persecute Tsunade, but said: "Tsunade, why don't you think about it quietly in my office alone - as long as you don't leave my office, I believe it won't cause others to misunderstand Ichiro!"
"Don't think about it, old man!" Tsunade said, "I agreed to let me inherit the Hokage from you!"
Hearing Tsunade's promise, the three generations of Hokage raised their eyebrows, their faces showed joy, and they said, "Tsunade, I'm glad you made the right decision!"
"Old man, don't be busy rejoicing!" Tsunade waved his hand and said, "Although I promised to inherit the Hokage's position from you, I am not inheriting the Hokage's position now, I need you to give me some time to transition!"
"That's no problem!" said the third Hokage, "Tsunade, anyway, you need time to cultivate the Wood Escape Ninjutsu that the original Hokage left behind in the Senju clan of the Morino, so I'll give you five years of transition time!"
Hearing the promise of the three generations of Hokage, Tsunade said, "Old man, since I have promised to inherit the Hokage's position from you, I hope that the length of the transition time can be decided by myself!"
Regarding Tsunade's desire to decide the length of the transition time by himself, the three generations of Hokage agreed to not be able to cause Tsunade's backlash: "Tsunade, I can promise you that you want to decide the transition time yourself!"
"However, I hope that this transition period that is up to you will not be too long!"
Looking at the three generations of Hokage, Tsunade said, "Old man, don't worry, I will inherit the position of Hokage from you when you are still healthy!"
"That's good!" said the third Hokage with a smile, "Also, in this or two days, I hope you can decide how long you need to make the transition!"
"Don't worry, old man, I'll decide how long I need to make the transition in a day or two!" Tsunade said.
"Tsunade, once you've decided how long you need to make the transition, don't delay, tell me your decision as soon as possible!" said the third Hokage, "In this way, I can handle the follow-up!"
"I will, old man!" Tsunade nodded and agreed, "I'll let you know as soon as I decide how long I want to make the transition!"
"Tsunade, then I'll wait for your reply!" said the third Hokage.
After that, seeing that the three generations of Hokage had nothing else to talk about, Tsunade left the Hokage's office.
……
A minute after Tsunade left his office, the three Hokage also walked out of his office and walked towards another room in the Hokage Building.
……
In another room in the Hokage Building.
When the three generations of Hokage walked in from outside, Mito Menyan and Koharu had been waiting for a long time.
"Hizai, did Tsunade Ji promise to inherit the Hokage from you?" Seeing the three generations of Hokage coming in, Mito Menyan immediately asked.
"Menyan, Tsunade has already promised to inherit the Hokage from me!" said the third Hokage as he walked.
"Hito, just say yes!" Mito Menyan said, "I'm afraid Tsunade Ji is still as stubborn as before!"
"Hizai, when are you going to nominate Tsunade Hime to the Daimyo to inherit the Hokage?" asked Koharu.
"Koharu, don't think about when to nominate Tsunade to succeed the Hokage to the Daimyo!" said the third Hokage.
"Hizai, why is that?" asked Koharu.
"Koharu, when I was talking to Tsunade just now, I learned that although Tsunade has awakened Mu Dun, he has not yet started to cultivate the Mu Dun Ninjutsu left by the first Hokage in the Senju clan of the Mori no Hokage!" said the third generation Hokage, "If Tsunade serves as the fifth generation Hokage in the near future, then Tsunade will not have time to practice the Mu Dun ninjutsu left by the first Hokage in the Senju clan of the Mori no Hand clan!"
"If that's the case, wouldn't the Mu Dun awakened by Tsunade be wasted!"
"So, I gave Tsunade a transition period so that Tsunade could master the Wood Escape Ninjutsu left by the original Hokage in the Senju clan of the Mori no Mori during this transitional time!"
"Hizai, you're right to think so!" Mito Menyan agreed, "We really should give Tsunade Hime a period of time to master the Wood Escape Ninjutsu that the original Hokage left behind in the Senju clan of the Mori no Mori!"
"Hizari, how much time did you give Tsunade-hime to transition?" asked Koharu.
Seeing Koharu's inquiry, the third Hokage said, "Koharu, according to my thoughts, I originally planned to give Tsunade five years ......"
After hearing that the three generations of Hokage said that they had given Tsunade a five-year transition time, he frowned, interrupted the words of the three generations of Hokage, and said: "Hizai, is it too long for you to give Tsunade Ji a five-year transition time - it shouldn't take five years to master the Mu Dun Ninjutsu left by the first Hokage in the Senju clan of the Mori no Hands!"
"I also think five years is too long!" Mito said.
"Menyan and Koharu, it won't take five years to master the Wood Dun Ninjutsu left by the first Hokage in the Senju clan of the Mori no Hands!" said the third Hokage.
"Hizai, since you don't think five years is a long time, then Koharu and I need to know why you think five years is not a long time!" Mito Menyan said.
"Menyan, Koharu, there are two kinds of Wood Escape Ninjutsu left by the first Hokage in the Mori Thousand Hands Clan - one is the ordinary Wood Escape Ninjutsu, and the other is the Wood Escape Secret Technique!" The third generation Hokage said, "The reason why I think that it will not take five years for Tsunade to master the Wood Escape Ninjutsu left by the first Hokage in the Mori no Thousand Hands Clan is because I hope that Tsunade will master all the Wood Escape Ninjutsu left by the original Hokage in the Mori Thousand Hands Clan!"
"If you just let Tsunade master the ordinary wooden escape ninjutsu left by the original Hokage in the Senju clan of the Mori no Hokage, then it really doesn't take a five-year transition time, but if you want Tsunade to master the secret art of the first Hokage left behind in the Senju clan of the Mori no Senjutsu, then the transition time of five years is not too long - after all, the more powerful the ninjutsu, the more difficult it is to master!"
"Hito, you're right!" Mito Menyan thought for a moment and agreed, "If we want Tsunade Hime to master the secret technique of the original Hokage left behind in the Senju clan of the Mori no Hokage, then we should indeed give Tsunade Hime five years of transition time!"
