I'll take my leave now—there's still a lot of work waiting for me back at the Logistics Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It won't be long before I take over the Finance Department as well. Then I'll be even busier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her plans in motion, Tsunade decisively stood up and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was incredibly busy, so much so that she didn't even have time to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea. Too many matters were waiting for her attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Finance Department, Tsunade was confident that the Third Hokage would eventually hand it over to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Hokage had grown old, and the situation in the village had changed. Clinging to the Finance Department served no real purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combining the Finance and Logistics Departments would be much more beneficial to the war effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the Third Hokage remained indecisive, Tsunade believed he'd choose to pass it over to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after the war ended, whether she gave it back or not—that would depend entirely on her mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Tsunade gone, Sakumo Hatake sat in silence, staring at the teacup on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small figure hid in the distance, quietly peeking around the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some hesitation, Kakashi stepped forward, sitting down next to his father. With a soft sigh, he said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, you've already retired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"........\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakumo let out a bitter laugh. He placed his hand on Kakashi's head, gently ruffling his hair, and sighed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kakashi, retired or not, I am, and always will be, a shinobi of Konoha. Do you understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Kakashi stood up and went upstairs, retrieving two weapons and placing them on the ground, not even turning back as he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still have school tomorrow, so the weapons are yours to maintain, Father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This brat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm back!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the tall village walls, Takuya picked up his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed a good soak in the bath, some delicious food, and then a nice, long sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After registering his return, Takuya headed home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just after a hot bath and about to head out for a meal, he heard the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to go out. I brought dinner with me, so we can eat here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade set down the food she had brought, twisted open a bottle of sake, and downed half of it in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was really looking forward to hot pot...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh well, stir-fried dishes will do. Even if they taste a little off, at least they fill the stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konoha did have stir-fried dishes, but they weren't quite to Takuya's liking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few bites, Tsunade downed the rest of the sake. Takuya, still holding his bowl, stared in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know you're under a lot of pressure, and that there's so much going on in the village, but do you really need to drink like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you get drunk, who's going to manage the Logistics Department?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade set the empty bottle down, giving Takuya a look that said,You know what I mean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya sighed, got up, and took two more bottles out of the fridge, pouring himself a glass as well:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the pressure from the Logistics Department really driving you to drink like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slow down!!! Slow down... Oh, forget it. Do as you please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his words had no effect, Takuya gave up on trying to stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud, thud, thud—another bottle gone. Takuya couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Tsunade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She's not going to start acting crazy now, is she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I find somewhere to hide, just in case?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The empty bottle hit the table with a heavy thud. Takuya's eyelid twitched, worried that the glass might shatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If shards ended up in the food, it'd be game over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goodbye, dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've made up my mind. I'm going to become the Fourth Hokage!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pffft~~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya spat out the drink he'd just taken, completely stunned, staring at Tsunade's flushed face as she declared her intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you just say? You want to be the Fourth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, do you think I'm not qualified?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade waved a hand, patting her increasingly intimidating chest:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Orochimaru can think about it, then why can't I?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I admit, my strength might not match his, but if I had to fight him to the death, I'd skin that snake alive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya was at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I shouldn't have come back after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Tsunade drunk or what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed a bit tipsy, but these weren't the kind of words a drunk person would say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade was dead serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Orochimaru had suddenly changed his mind, and now Tsunade had sprung up, declaring her candidacy. What were these two thinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original story, Tsunade had no interest in becoming Hokage, and Orochimaru was only slightly interested but not too committed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, here they were—Orochimaru actively seeking the role, and Tsunade outright vying for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one's taking what's mine, damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come at me if you dare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I ask why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya weakly ventured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm tired!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade snapped, pointing at Takuya as she began to rant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It started with you, you little brat. I was forced into this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, I just can't take it anymore. Maybe Orochimaru was right—the old man really has aged out of this role. It's time for him to step down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pile of foolish decisions, the village wasn't heading in a good direction, and the dirty undercurrents only grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing the Uchiha—that was just small potatoes compared to the nonsense they had pulled these past few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One compromise after another, always taking a step back, Tsunade was fed up. She couldn't take it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orochimaru was willing to fight for the position of Hokage for his own ambitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for the village, why couldn't she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was done putting up with it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine then—cards on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmmmm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I support you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should have had this thought long ago. Takuya shook his head and downed his glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, people's choices change over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike personality, which is hard to change, choices shift with circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original story, Orochimaru wasn't particularly invested in becoming Hokage, probably because he underestimated Minato and the Third Hokage's determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orochimaru was more interested in eternal life, so much so that he willingly delved into darkness, conducting forbidden experiments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference now was that in the original story, Orochimaru had funding, materials, and could focus entirely on research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, that wasn't the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade was in control of the Logistics Department, keeping a close eye on Danzo. And with Danzo stripped of his power, unable to mobilize large quantities of supplies or touch the finances, Orochimaru's research kept running into roadblocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time and again, it forced Orochimaru to consider becoming Hokage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he knew that only by becoming Hokage could his research proceed smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would stand in his way then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the same for Tsunade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original story, Tsunade left Konoha early on, never caring about what went on there. Dan Kato's death, as well as Nawaki's, were her emotional scars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Dan Kato had nothing to do with her—it was entirely one-sided infatuation from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Tsunade paid him no mind at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Nawaki was alive and well, thriving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given these circumstances, Tsunade wouldn't fall into despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being forced into her position in the Logistics Department, Tsunade grew weary of the Third Hokage's repeated disappointments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add in the effects of the ongoing war and Sunagakure's sudden declaration, and Tsunade finally had the desire to rise to power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you can't handle it, step aside—I'll take that position myself.\u003C\u002Fp>",1280,"2026-06-05T21:22:50.078Z",1,"novelbin.me","067f6d2cd8b36bf749de2719a62176bb8b0937c7b9798f8b626e3a1895c7fcbb","naruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-chapter-717","naruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-chapter-715",2215,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-cover.jpg"]
