Sarutobi Hizaku looked at Hinata Ichiro, then at Tsunade, thought about it, and agreed: "Tsunade, I hope you can return safely!"

Sarutobi's words mean that Sarutobi Hizashi will no longer obstruct Tsunade's visit to the Land of Wind.

After Sarutobi Hizashi made a statement, Mito Menyan and the others looked at Sarutobi Hizai.

In the end, Mito Menyan and others did not veto.

Seeing this scene, Tsunade regarded the silence of Mito Menyan and others as a tacit acquiescence to his visit to the Land of Wind.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of the discussion about whether or not I should visit the Land of Wind!" said Tsunade, "Next, since I need to consider who to visit the Land of Wind with me, I'll go first!"

With that, Tsunade walked outside.

While Tsunade was walking, Hinata Ichiro, who thought he had nothing else to talk about with Sarutobi Hizaki and others, also walked out.

……

A day later.

After a day of consideration, Tsunade not only considered the list of members of the delegation that would follow him to visit the Land of Winds, but also thought about how the country would run after he left.

Then, Tsunade summoned Fujiwara Kiyomasa and Sarutobi Hizashi and other high-level officials of the Fire Country to a conference room and held a high-level meeting.

(For some reason, Tsunade did not attend this high-level meeting.) ）

……

Temporary office building.

A meeting room.

Because it was Tsunade's power to decide who would follow him to visit the Land of Wind, the list of members of the delegation that Tsunade had decided on was passed without any alarm.

After going through the list of members of the delegation, Tsunade explained to the high-level officials of the Fire Country, such as Fujiwara Kiyomasa and Sarutobi Hizaki, how the country would operate after his departure.

After Tsunade finished explaining how the Fire Nation worked during her visit to the Land of Wind, the reactions of the attendees varied.

Mito Menyan looked at the other participants and said to Tsunade: "Tsunade Hime, during your visit to the Land of Winds, I have no objection to the two points of Speaker Fujiwara acting as interim chairman of the Political Council to preside over the Political Affairs Committee, and Hichishi acting as interim chairman of the Military Council to preside over the Military Council!"

"At the same time, Hinata Ichiro will preside over the third test match of the Chunin Selection Examination instead of you, and Hinata Ichiro will be responsible for Konoha's defense during the Chunin Selection Examination, I can also agree!"

"However, I don't think it's appropriate to have Ichiro Hinata act as the interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces to lead and command the ninja forces!"

"Menyan is right!" Koharu echoed, "Tsunade-hime, Hinata Ichiro is acting as the interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces to lead and command the ninja forces, I don't think you think you have thought about it!"

Tsunade looked at Mito Menyan, then at Koharu, and said, "I won't change the decision to let Ichiro act as the interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces!"

"Tsunadehime, according to my estimate, everyone here should not be happy to let Hinata Ichiro act as the interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces!" Shimura said, "In this case, if I were you, I would not force Hinata Ichiro to act as the interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces." ”

"Even if I force it, I want Ichiro to act as the interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces!" Tsunade said.

As soon as Tsunade said this, the faces of the participants were different.

Sarutobi looked at Tsunade and asked, "Tsunade, why are you so insistent on Ichiro acting as the interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces?"

Tsunade replied in his heart, "Because I'm just in case!"

Because it is impossible to make the answer in his heart public, Tsunade did not say his answer in his heart.

"Old man, I have my own intentions!" said Tsunade.

"At the time of the vote, you should know that your decision to make Ichiro acting as interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces will most likely not be passed!" Sarutobi asked, "Even so, you insist on making Ichiro acting interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces?"

"Yes!" Tsunade said, "Old man, if necessary, I will use my supreme discretion as the interim prime minister of the Fire Nation!"

When Tsunade said that she would use the supreme decision power of the Interim Prime Minister of the Fire Nation if necessary, the faces of the participants changed.

Obviously, the participants knew Tsunade's decision from Tsunade's words.

After taking a deep look at Tsunade, Sarutobi shut up.

Just as the conference room was about to fall into embarrassment, Fujiwara Kiyomasa spoke.

Fujiwara Kiyomasa said to Tsunade: "Tsunade-hime, I support your decision to let Hinata Ichiro act as the interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces!"

After Fujiwara Kiyomasa finished speaking, both Tsunade himself and the others in the conference room looked at Fujiwara Kiyomasa with a look of surprise - neither Tsunade nor the others in the conference room expected that Fujiwara Kiyomasa would support and be the first to speak out in support of Tsunade's decision to have Hinata Ichiro act as interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces.

After a while.

The three high-ranking members of the political council - Suzuki Shuji, Kamiizumi Yoshiichi and Takahashi Shigenobu - were influenced by Fujiwara Kiyomasa and expressed their support for Tsunade's decision to make Hinata Ichiro acting as interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces.

After enlisting the support of Kiyomasa Fujiwara, Shuji Suzuki, Yoshiichi Umiizum, and Shigenobu Takahashi, Tsunade knew that the tide had turned.

Just as Tsunade was about to speak, Sarutobi spoke first.

Sarutobi looked at Fujiwara Kiyomasa and the three high-ranking members of the political committee, and said, "The current situation does not allow us to be united due to differences, so I agree that Ichiro will act as the interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces!"

"However, during Ichiro's time as the interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces, his power will be limited!"

"Otherwise, if I never said that I agreed with Ichiro to act as the interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces!"

"Old man, what do you mean by limits?" asked Tsunade.

"After Ichiro acts as the interim commander-in-chief of the ninja forces, whether it is to lead and direct the actions of the ninja forces, or to appoint and dismiss the officials of the ninja forces, he must obtain the authorization or approval of the military council!" Sarutobi said, "When Ichiro issues orders to the ninja forces, there must be no behavior that bypasses the military council!"

"I think the restrictions that Hitoshi said are necessary!" said Mitomen.

"I agree with the restrictions that Hinata said!" said Koharu.

"In order to ensure the stable operation of the army, restrictions should be observed!" said Shimura Danzo.

Tsunade looked at the four of them, bowed his head and pondered.

Seeing Tsunade pondering, Sarutobi slashed: "Tsunade, I've made the biggest concession I can make!"

"So, I hope you can make some concessions too!"

"If you don't back down, things will be difficult!"

Hearing Sarutobi say this, Tsunade made a decision in his heart.

Sarutobi Hizaku looked at Hinata Ichiro, then at Tsunade, thought about it, and agreed: "Tsunade, I hope you can return safely!"

Sarutobi's words mean that Sarutobi Hizashi will no longer obstruct Tsunade's visit to the Land of Wind.

After Sarutobi Hizashi made a statement, Mito Menyan and the others looked at Sarutobi Hizai.
