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

Chapter 586 Appearance

Konoha High-Level Meeting.

Despite Konoha Village's ultimate victory in the thrilling Fourth Shinobi World War six months prior.

However, the compensation matters related to the other three defeated villages have been stalled due to the mysterious disappearance of the key figure, Qianyao, and have not been properly resolved for a long time.

Although the three villages suffered considerable losses in the war, Konoha Village did not actually gain much substantial benefit.

Worse still, in order to feign weakness so that they could set another trap for Kumogakure in the future, a series of matters, including compensation, were temporarily put aside.

However, the fact that Iwagakure and Kumogakure have joined forces to impose economic sanctions on Konoha has made Konoha's already precarious situation even more dire.

In recent times, Konoha Village has held several high-level meetings in an attempt to come up with a solution, but unfortunately, no consensus has been reached each time.

One major reason for this situation is that Konoha Village has not yet officially appointed a new Hokage, and all government affairs can only be temporarily handled by Nara Shikaai.

Prior to this, the whereabouts of Uchiha Chiyo had always been a taboo topic in the village, and no one dared to mention it lightly.

As the situation develops, calls for the selection of a new Hokage as soon as possible are growing louder.

Before each high-level meeting, Nara Shika would explain in detail to the elders present the specific content to be discussed at the meeting, so that everyone could make full preparations and thoughts in advance.

Nara Shikaga had already revealed this to everyone in advance.

The matter being discussed is related to the Naruto.

Therefore, the elders of various families arrived at the venue in advance.

After all, the position of Hokage in Konoha Village has been vacant for a long time, and this position is crucial to the stability and development of the entire village.

As the meeting was about to begin, everyone's eyes turned to Nara Shikaga, who was seated to the left of the head of the table.

This position means that he usually chairs the meetings.

Lu He slowly stood up and looked around.

The previously noisy conference room instantly fell silent, with all the elders watching him quietly.

However, Lu He did not rush to speak at this moment, but instead kept his gaze fixed on the doorway, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.

The people present exchanged glances and quickly made a guess: the person who arrived late was most likely Tsunade.

It should be noted that, currently, the only people in the village who are capable and have the potential to succeed as Hokage are Tsunade and Orochimaru.

However, Orochimaru is currently engrossed in various research projects and may not be particularly concerned about the position of Hokage.

After a few minutes, a figure finally appeared at the door.

That was a woman with bright blonde hair, a beautiful face, and an extremely voluptuous bust—Tsunade.

She strode confidently into the conference room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am a little late."

"No, no, the meeting hasn't started yet; we arrived early."

"Tsunade-hime's arrival is just in time."

The elders below echoed each other a few times, which was considered a greeting.

Tsunade is known for her outspokenness.

Upon reaching her seat, she got straight to the point:

"I'm sure everyone has some thoughts about our village keeping the Hokage position vacant for so long, right?"

A slight commotion arose from the audience, but it quickly subsided. Tsunade continued:

"Especially in the handling of many political affairs, it is indeed difficult for Elder Luhe to make decisions on his own."

She paused slightly at this point, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.

Then, Tsunade raised her voice and emphasized:

"As for why the position of Hokage is vacant, let's leave that aside for now."

"The purpose of this meeting today is to completely resolve the issue of the Hokage!"

As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, a deep, resonant voice suddenly rang out from the crowd below:

"In my opinion, whether considering your strength or your seniority, Tsunade is the most suitable person to serve as Hokage!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the voice and found that the speaker was sitting on a specially made, huge stool.

This man was tall and strong, occupying two entire seats by himself.

The speaker was none other than Akimichi Torifu, the most senior member of the village besides Shikaga.

He received cloning treatment from Orochimaru, and now he has successfully cloned a new lung and installed it in his body.

He has now fully recovered his health.

Having already been quite robust, he has now become even more fat and strong again.

When he sat there calmly, he was like a towering mountain, giving people an undeniable sense of oppression.

Seeing this, the people around couldn't help but chime in.

"Yes, yes, Elder Qu Feng is right."

"Tsunade, the position of Sixth Hokage is rightfully yours!"

These words immediately caused a stir, and everyone nodded in agreement.

“That’s right. Konoha is in dire need of someone who can make decisive decisions right now, and you are undoubtedly the best candidate.”

Another person spoke up loudly.

Although Tsunade had no interest in becoming Hokage.

But feeling the sincere gazes and trust of everyone, a bright smile involuntarily bloomed on her face.

However, Tsunade then unexpectedly spoke up, saying:

Thank you all for your kind words and recognition, but I am not the most suitable candidate for the Hokage position.

Her words immediately caused a stir among the crowd, with everyone exchanging bewildered glances.

After all, in their view, besides Tsunade, they really couldn't think of anyone else who could shoulder this heavy responsibility.

As a result, everyone's gaze turned in the direction of the Uchiha clan.

Fugaku Uchiha had already voluntarily relinquished his position as an elder after nearly losing his sight upon returning from the last Shinobi World War.

Seated in his seat now is Uchiha Mayumi, the newly rising Mangekyou Sharingan powerhouse of the Uchiha clan.

Of course, the fact that everyone is looking at Mayumi does not mean that Mayumi Uchiha intends to participate in the Hokage election.

The group's actions were primarily aimed at ascertaining the Uchiha clan's stance on the matter.

After all, Uchiha Chiyo is currently only missing, not dead.

Surprisingly, Mayumi's face remained as calm as a still lake, without the slightest ripple in the face of this scene.

Mayumi merely tilted her head slightly, casting a glance at Tsunade in a subtle gesture.

Tsunade nodded knowingly, then pulled out a Flying Thunder God kunai that gleamed with a cold light and threw it forcefully, embedding it directly into the Hokage's seat.

Before anyone could react, a blurry figure appeared like lightning in the previously empty Hokage's seat.
