In order to pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Chapter 167

"Old man, we are back!"

Tsunade walked into the Hokage's office with Uchiha Shigeka. Sarutobi Hiruzen received the news from the ANBU that the two had returned to Konoha. He sat upright and prepared to welcome the two.

Hearing Tsunade's energetic words At the sound, Sarutobi Hiza looked at the two people in front of him with a smile.

"Welcome back, Tsunade, Shigeka."

Uchiha Shigeka stood aside silently, watching Tsunade reporting the situation on the front line to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were thoughtful, and he looked at Uchiha Shigeka with admiration.

"Chonghua, thank you for killing Sanshouyu Hanzo and bringing our war with Amegakure to an end."Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said:"The new [Demigod] Shigeka, this name is spread throughout the ninja world. Yes, he is indeed my disciple."

"Rasa, Chiyo, Sansho Fish Hanzo......One enemy after another has suffered at your hands. The child back then has now grown into a towering tree that can protect Konoha. I am very happy."

"With Chongka here, Konoha will definitely continue to prosper!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen���The words are not unimportant, and the importance of Chonghua is comparable to the prosperity of Konoha.

Uchiha Shigeka said humbly:"Lord Hokage, I have disgraced myself. I dare not accept such an honor. This is not just my contribution, it is the contribution of all Konoha ninjas. It is everyone who ended the war together. I only did some wooden work in it." It's just what a leaf ninja should do, it's really nothing special."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed, pointed at Uchiha Shigeka and shook his head and said,"You, sometimes being too modest is not a good thing, don't belittle yourself, you are. There is no one who is the biggest contributor to ending the war!"

Seeing what Uchiha Shigeka wanted to say, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped him and said with a smile:"This is what I should do as a Hokage. Whose credit is his credit, Shigeka, just accept it."

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen talking about this, Uchiha Shigeka nodded after a few words:"Yes, listen to Hokage-sama."

"now it's right."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled even deeper.

Tsunade on the side saw the two of them chatting happily. She frowned and was about to pour cold water on her.

"By the way, old man, what are you going to do about Danzo?"

As soon as Tsunade said this, the entire Hokage's office fell silent.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart and looked at Tsunade with some reproach.

Tsunade ignored the other person's eyes. She just wanted justice and to get justice. The trial.

Tsunade's golden eyes were firm and she said to Sarutobi Hiruzen:"Old man, don't excuse Danzo. We all know that the person who attacked Shigeka and the others is a member of the root, the remains of the Hyuga branch. It proves everything, even that old guy Hyuga Nakahei didn’t deny it.......【People who have been abandoned by their families have no other choice but to remove their roots."

"......You should respect the head of the Hyuga branch family, Tsunade."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was troubled by Tsunade's unrestrained words, so he said:"Tsunade, it is still a period of war, and Danzo's roots are still useful to me. Why don't we wait until after the war, when we all start a Jonin meeting to discuss Danzo's sentence at that time.

Tsunade cast a hesitant gaze over her:"Are you sure you can handle Danzo impartially?" Attacking ninjas from the same village is undoubtedly an act of treason. Our approach to dealing with ninjas has always been to leave no one alive and kill everyone on sight."

Tsunade pulled her apprentice over, pointed at Chonghua who was blinking, and said,"He attacked my apprentice last time. What you did then, old man, must have been unfair."

The hesitation in Tsunade's eyes faded away, and now she had no hesitation, just complete distrust.

Tsunade naturally knew the friendship between the old man and Shimura Danzo. Under certain circumstances, she was better than Uchiha Shigeka who was stuck in the plot. It needs to be clear.

Uchiha Shigeka knows Shimura Danzo's character from the future. Tsunade knows now that Shimura Danzo is not a good person

, and the old man has turned a blind eye many times. She closed her eyes and pretended not to see it.

She once questioned Sarutobi Hiruzen, and what she got was that as Hokage, there were many dirty things that he couldn't get involved in, so he could only leave it to the trusted Shimura Danzo. Fei Hiruzen specifically reminded me at that time

"My teacher, your second grandfather. Tobirama-sensei is worse than me. I don’t have enough energy on my own, so I can only work with Danzo. Unlike Tobirama-sensei, who can do everything by himself, I feel ashamed."

In one sentence, Senju Tobirama was also at a loss.

He, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was nothing more than Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and he continued to follow the teacher's inertia.

At that time, Tsunade was speechless.

But this time it was different. , her favorite disciple almost died in Shimura Danzo's plot, and so many Konoha heroes were assassinated.

This can't be said to be doing dirty things for the Hokage.

"Old man, please give me a definite explanation. Many Jonin know about this. Among the people Shimura Danzo killed were clan members, and those people will not give up......."

"Tsunade."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was low but deafening, covering up Tsunade's voice.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Tsunade who was stunned. At this moment, he looked sharp and decisive.

"Konoha is not my one word, Tsunade, if you want to get the results you want, just seek their consent at the post-war Jonin meeting."

"......They would naturally agree, who would support Shimura Danzo?"

Tsunade whispered.

"Tsunade-sensei, this matter cannot be rushed. When I heard that my friend had attacked people in the village, Hokage-sama was also very painful and embarrassed......."Uchiha Shigeka raised his head and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen hopefully.

"But I believe that Lord Hokage will definitely give us a satisfactory result. Master, he is Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shrank, and avoided Uchiha Shigeka's sight with a guilty conscience.

He coughed dryly and said,"Of course, I will never condone Danzo's sins, and I will definitely bring you a fair verdict. Tsunade, I know you are anxious and angry because something almost happened to your apprentice, but can't you wait?"

"It's still a war period, so what if you mess up your position and let the enemy laugh at you?

Tsunade curled her lips:"Isn't it already a joke?""

"you!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen choked at Tsunade's words. He shook his head, waved his hands and said:"Tsunade, you won't stop until you make me angry. You and I are talking fiercely and the atmosphere is tense. What? The topic can no longer be continued."

"You go back first, and then we can talk about what you said about training medical ninjas when your anger subsides."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Shigeka with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Chonghua, please stay, I have something else to tell you."......
