Chapter 751: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I

Afternoon arrived.

A knock on the door sounded.

"Lady Tsunade."

Itachi Uchiha stood at the door and did not walk into the office.

"Kitazawa."

Tsunade called out, then got up and walked out.

"We're going out for a moment."

Kitazawa naturally knew why Itachi Uchiha was looking for Tsunade.

He greeted Shizune and the others and left the office.

"Say it here."

Tsunade stopped in the hallway.

"After our investigation, he was indeed a Root ninja, his codename was Tiger, and after the Root was disbanded, he joined the Anbu."

Itachi Uchiha took a deep breath and said, "But he has already died at the hands of Hidden Mist Village ninjas."

"Deliberately seeking death?"

Tsunade couldn't help but frown.

"Did Itachi find the body?"

Kitazawa wasn't surprised at all.

Danzo Shimura wasn't stupid; he definitely wouldn't leave them any evidence.

"We found it, but the body was damaged."

Itachi Uchiha replied, "The ninjas of the Analysis Team said that most of the memories in his brain could no longer be accessed."

"What a pain."

Tsunade sighed and said.

Without sufficient evidence, she couldn't take action against Danzo Shimura directly.

After all, he was still a ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village, and Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others would stop her.

"Is there anything else Itachi need me to do?"

Itachi Uchiha asked, feeling regretful while also asking.

Putting the Hidden Leaf Village aside, he really wanted to kill Danzo Shimura.

Because he wanted to avenge Shisui Uchiha.

But it was a pity that Danzo Shimura had escaped disaster again.

"Not for now; Itachi've worked hard this time, Itachi go down first."

Tsunade shook her head and said.

"Yes."

Itachi Uchiha bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Although he hadn't been able to take action against Danzo Shimura this time, he saw hope.

As long as Tsunade was there, Danzo Shimura would one day pay the price he deserved.

"Lady Tsunade."

Kitazawa spoke after listening, "I think we can take the initiative."

"What do Itachi mean?"

Tsunade turned to look at him and couldn't help but ask, "Are Itachi thinking of assassinating Danzo Shimura?"

"Lady Tsunade, such things are not in accordance with the rules of the Hidden Leaf Village."

Kitazawa blinked and said.

"If Itachi have a way, just say it!"

Tsunade glared at him.

"The reason Danzo Shimura is targeting Itachi is because he has an obsession with the position of Hokage."

Kitazawa coughed lightly and said, "As long as the Hokage selection process is started, he will inevitably be unable to sit still and will take action against Itachi."

"Do Itachi want me to become Hokage that much?"

Tsunade laughed in anger.

"After Lady Tsunade becomes Hokage, I can hug her thigh and walk sideways in the Hidden Leaf Village in the future."

Kitazawa said truthfully.

"…"

Tsunade didn't know what to say for a while upon hearing this.

Why did it feel like she was becoming Hokage, but all the benefits were Kitazawa's?

"Lady Tsunade, being so hesitant is not your personality."

Kitazawa said with a smile.

"Do I need Itachi to teach me?"

Tsunade lifted her leg, stepped on him, and asked.

"Lady Tsunade has her own decision."

Kitazawa said, following his heart, "I'm just making a suggestion."

Tsunade looked at him and fell into silence.

A moment later, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.

Just as Kitazawa said, when did she become so hesitant?

"Come with me to the Hokage office."

Tsunade turned around, her tea-green coat with the character 'gamble' fluttering with her movements.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Kitazawa's face.

Has it finally reached this last step?

Bang!

The door to the Hokage office was kicked open by Tsunade.

"It's Itachi two."

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked quite calmly, "Did Itachi encounter any problems with your work?"

"Old man."

Tsunade asked straight to the point, "When do Itachi plan to retire?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but be stunned.

If this question came from someone else, his first reaction would be: are Itachi trying to rebel?

But with Tsunade, he couldn't quite guess her thoughts.

"Why are Itachi suddenly asking me this question?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said, "I am the Hokage; the prerequisite for the Hokage to retire is that the next Hokage has already been determined."

"If Itachi want to retire, just start the Hokage selection process."

Tsunade said in a calm tone.

"Itachi mean…?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi widened his eyes, but still couldn't believe it.

"I've already said it very clearly; I don't want to repeat it again."

Tsunade's gaze drifted out the window, and she could vaguely see the Hokage Rock; her mood suddenly became extremely complicated.

She hadn't actually thought about becoming Hokage.

All along, her wish had been for Nawaki to become Hokage.

But heaven didn't follow human wishes.

"Good!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up all at once and said, "I'll send someone to notify the Daimyo now!"

Hokage selection had three procedures.

Daimyo approval, Jonin voting, and villager voting.

From the procedure, Daimyo approval was the first procedure.

Of course, the actual first procedure was the recognition of the current Hokage.

As long as the current Hokage decided who the next Hokage would be, the rest was just a simple procedure to be completed.

"I'll go personally."

Tsunade snapped out of her thoughts and said, "Just in time to take advantage of the war victory to invite the Daimyo to attend the victory banquet."

"That's a good idea."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile, "When the Daimyo is happy, maybe next year's appropriation will be quite a bit more."

A small portion of the Hidden Leaf Village's expenses came from mission commissions, and most came from the Fire Daimyo's appropriation.

This was also the reason why the Daimyos of the Five Great Nations had high status in the ninja world.

After all, they had money.

Of course, the most important thing was because Hashirama Senju had established the one-country-one-village system.

After so many years, ninjas had long been accustomed to it, and no one thought about changing it or killing the Daimyo to replace him.

"When are Itachi leaving?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi considered it very thoroughly, "I'll have Shikaku select some suitable ninjas to go with Itachi."

"No need for so much trouble."

Tsunade refused, "Kitazawa and I will go."

"Just the two of Itachi?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in astonishment, "Isn't that not quite in accordance with the rules?"

"The Daimyo won't mind."

Tsunade said indifferently.

"That's true."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly remembered that Tsunade had a good relationship with the Fire Daimyo's family.

Among the successive Hokages of the Hidden Leaf Village, besides Hashirama Senju, only she could do that.

"I'll go on Friday."

Tsunade pondered for a moment and said.

Since she had accepted the work of rewarding based on merit, she naturally wouldn't break her promise.

Although the time was relatively tight, they could use shadow clones to speed up work efficiency.

"Friday, huh?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll change Saturday's funeral to Sunday."

Tsunade and Kitazawa were the key figures in winning this war.

It would be inappropriate for them not to attend the funeral.
