Chapter 752: Teaching in the Hidden Leaf, the System Says I

"Hmm."

Tsunade paused and said, "The Jonin voting and villager voting will be held next week."

"No problem."

Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed without hesitation.

With this set of procedures completed, he would definitely be able to retire before next Sunday.

Having been Hokage for decades, about to retire, he also felt a sense of impatience.

After all, Hokage meant heavy responsibility, meaning the villagers and ninjas of the Hidden Leaf Village had to be carried on his shoulders.

He was already old, and it was time to lay it down and let the young people carry it.

"Alright, leave the rest to Itachi; we're going back to continue working."

Tsunade waved her hand and left the Hokage office.

Although she had decided to become Hokage, old habits die hard; she was still a lazy personality, and she would slack off whenever she could.

"Is Lady Tsunade thinking that Danzo Shimura will attack us on our way to the Fire Capital?"

Kitazawa followed her and asked.

"Hmm."

Tsunade nodded.

"But just the two of us?"

Kitazawa coughed lightly and said, "I think we can bring Itachi; if something really goes wrong, he can take action."

"Why?"

Tsunade glanced at him and asked, "Do Itachi have no confidence in me?"

"Of course I have confidence, but I'm personally used to having certainty before doing things."

Kitazawa said seriously, "And we don't know how many people Danzo Shimura will bring."

"What Itachi say makes sense."

Tsunade pondered for a moment and said, "Then have Itachi take an Anbu team to follow us secretly."

"I'll go notify him later."

Kitazawa nodded and said.

Hokage office.

"Haru."

After they left, Hiruzen Sarutobi called out immediately.

"Lord Hokage."

Haru pushed the door and walked in.

"Itachi go notify the villagers and ninjas now; the Hokage selection process will start next week, have them prepare to vote."

Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered directly.

"What?"

Hearing this, Haru couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Is the Hokage changing?

Who is the next Hokage?

Tsunade's name immediately appeared in Haru's mind.

Because she had just left the Hokage office.

And in the entire Hidden Leaf Village,

"Yes, my lord Hokage."

Qing snapped back to reality and hurriedly replied.

Changing the Hokage is a major event for the Anbu as well.

However, the impact on the Anbu will be relatively small.

Generally speaking, a new Hokage will select two or three ninjas from the Anbu to cultivate upon taking office.

For instance, she herself was chosen by Hiruzen Sarutobi to become a guard-like presence.

"Wait."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly thought of something and said, "While Itachi're at it, call Danzo over."

"Yes, my lord Hokage."

Qing bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat on the Hokage's chair with a calm expression, waiting.

He knew that Danzo Shimura had never given up on the position of Hokage.

But no matter how much he refused to give up, he was not qualified to be Hokage.

Now that Tsunade was about to become Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi intended to give Danzo Shimura a warning to keep him from acting recklessly.

After all, having worked together for so many years, he did not want to see Danzo Shimura get into trouble.

"Hiruzen."

Not long after, Danzo Shimura walked into the Hokage's office, leaning on his cane.

"How has life at home been lately?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a chuckle.

Danzo Shimura could not help but be startled.

As an old associate of Hiruzen Sarutobi for decades, he sensed a problem the moment he spoke.

When would he normally ever care about his life?

"It's fine."

Danzo Shimura said coldly.

"It seems Itachi have already adapted."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "After I retire next week, we can spend more time together."

"Itachi're retiring?"

Danzo Shimura's pupils suddenly constricted, his heart feeling as if it were being gripped by something.

"Yes."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said, "I am old now; it is time to retire. Let's leave the Hidden Leaf Village to Tsunade."

"Hiruzen!"

Danzo Shimura said urgently, "This matter should be considered carefully!"

"Is there any ninja in the Hidden Leaf Village more suitable to be Hokage than Tsunade?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in return.

"..."

Danzo Shimura opened his mouth to speak but stopped.

He wanted to say himself, but he also knew that he truly could not compare to Tsunade.

It was just... he was not reconciled to this!

"Danzo, Itachi are getting old too; some things should be let go when it is time to let them go."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said earnestly.

"Itachi are old, but I am not!"

Danzo Shimura turned around in a rage and walked away.

Bang!

The door was shut.

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into silence.

He shook his head; he had said what needed to be said, and if Danzo Shimura did something stupid again, it would have nothing to do with him.

It would be up to the next Hokage to handle it.
