The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 195 Jump Out

Konoha Village.

High-level meeting.

All the elders have arrived, and the Third Hokage has two more people by his side this time.

It was Tsunade and Jiraiya.

Tsunade looked tired and seemed to be in poor spirits, but no one said anything.

After all, she's been busy saving people these past two days.

But no one knew that half of her exhaustion was due to her struggle with hemophobia.

The explosion caused mostly severed limbs and other external injuries, although Tsunade tried her best to avoid them.

But it was still unavoidable to see some bloody and mangled wounds in the hospital.

It's a good thing Tsunade didn't faint; she was far enough away.

When mental stress is too great, fatigue naturally increases as well.

Qianyao didn't meet Tsunade last time, so today is the first time he's seen Hashirama Senju's granddaughter.

Among medical ninjas, Tsunade is considered the pinnacle of the ninja world.

While he might have some reservations in his attitude towards the Uchiha clan, it was certainly better than that of the Third Hokage and others.

He would also be considered by many ninja clans as the best candidate for the Fifth Hokage.

The recent public opinion in Konoha has already alerted some astute ninja clans to something amiss.

On the way to the high-level meeting today, several honorary elders came to subtly probe Qianyao's intentions.

However, Qianyao brushed them off.

The meeting has now begun, and many ninja clans are waiting to see if the Third Hokage is prepared to abdicate.

The Third Hokage stood up: "Elders, all the elders are here today."

"I apologize for the recent disaster."

The Third Hokage bowed to all the honorary elders.

Because so many people died, many of them were related to the families of some of the honorary elders.

Some of them are even from the same family.

Most of the honorary elders had solemn or expressionless faces.

Only Qianyao had a playful expression on his face.

The Third Hokage waved his hand.

The secret staff placed documents in front of each elder's table.

The Third Hokage gestured for everyone to look at the document, then explained, "This is the report on the cause of this disaster..."

Qianyao crossed his arms and didn't even look at the so-called report.

Fugaku, who was sitting next to him, picked it up and quickly glanced at it.

"...The number of civilian deaths this time has reached the highest level since the founding of Konoha..."

"boom!"

Qianyao slammed his hand on the table, startling everyone.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Third Hokage, you swore to me last time that Danzo would never have a chance to cause trouble after he was imprisoned."

"Konoha has never had so many people die since the village was founded. This time, our village has suffered such a huge loss because of such a ridiculous reason."

"As the Hokage, you are largely to blame!"

Qianyao's sudden attack sent a chill down everyone's spine.

It seems that Chiyo is going to compete with Tsunade for the Hokage position.

A glint of triumph flashed in the Third Hokage's eyes, followed by a look of deep sorrow as he said:

"Yes, as Elder Chiyo said, Danzo was captured by my own hands, and the infiltration of the Anbu was also my dereliction of duty."

"I hereby decide to resign from the position of Hokage. The village may elect a new Hokage."

Although everyone was somewhat prepared, the Third Hokage's words still caused a stir.

"So……"

"Wait!"

Just then, Qianyao interrupted the Third Hokage's spellcasting animation.

"I disagree!"

"Huh?..." All the elders were completely bewildered, wondering if they had misheard.

The Third Hokage frowned and asked, "Chiyo, what do you disagree with?"

Qianyao sneered, "Of course I disagree with your resignation as Hokage."

When he said that, everyone present fell silent.

Even Tsunade, who had looked exhausted, had regained her senses, while Nara Shikaga below seemed lost in thought.

Qianyao continued, "You committed such a serious dereliction of duty while in office, and now you think you can just walk away? It's not that simple."

"If every Hokage were like you, resigning at the slightest thing, how could Konoha possibly develop?"

The elders below exchanged bewildered glances, not expecting Qianyao to intervene from this angle.

But I have to say, Qianyao has a point.

The Third Hokage was also caught off guard. He originally thought that Chiyo was going to compete with Tsunade for the Hokage position, but unexpectedly, Chiyo did not agree to his resignation.

"Does Elder Qianyao have some other ideas?"

Qianyao surveyed the entire room: "The prerequisite for the Konoha Hokage to step down is that a qualified person must succeed him."

"Konoha is currently facing a talent shortage, and no one is qualified to succeed the Fifth Hokage."

"The Third Hokage should continue to serve Konoha in his post until a suitable person is found to succeed him before stepping down."

"At that time, all the merits and demerits during the term of office will be settled in a unified manner."

Qianyao's words left many people bewildered.

Nara Shikaga looked at Chiyo with a gleam in his eyes.

Qianyao's wisdom is truly remarkable; he actually jumped out of the chessboard.

The Third Hokage said in a deep voice:

“Tsunade has returned from her travels, and based on both her achievements and qualifications, she is qualified to be a candidate for Hokage.”

"This time, Tsunade saved so many villagers..."

"stop!"

Qianyao interrupted the Third Hokage's spellcasting once again.

He glanced at Tsunade expressionlessly:

"I acknowledge Tsunade's qualifications and contributions, but she has been traveling for too long and is unfamiliar with everything in the village."

"As a candidate for Hokage, it's inappropriate for him not to understand the village's situation."

"She saved so many people this time, she deserves a lot of credit."

"Therefore, I have a suggestion for you all."

Qianyao ignored the reactions of others and spoke directly:

"As one of the top medical ninjas in the ninja world, I think Konoha's hospital should be managed by Tsunade."

Xiaochun's expression changed upon turning over the door; this was someone trying to steal her job.

However, Qianyao's next words made her feel better:

"The position of Hokage's assistant has been vacant for a long time."

"Elder Koharu Utatane has made great contributions. After she handed over the power of the hospital to Tsunade, she can now assist the Third Hokage."

Although Koharu used to be quite bullied by Chiyo, she suddenly finds Chiyo pleasing to the eye now.

The other elders began to discuss the matter, and they all felt that Qianyao's words made sense.

The Third Hokage frowned as he looked at Chiyo; he didn't think Chiyo would be so kind.

However, the position of Hokage is indeed better in his hands than in Tsunade's.

Tsunade looked at Chiyo with great surprise. Why was this Chiyo different from the one in the intelligence?

However, it was a good thing for her that the Third Hokage continued to serve.

After all, she really didn't want to take over the Hokage position, and now that there's a new path, she couldn't be happier.

"I think Qianyao's suggestion is very good."

Tsunade suddenly spoke up.
