Chapter 194 3rd Generation Plan
Every ninja village has spies from other ninja villages.
These spies are usually civilians and have no access to highly confidential information.
However, everyone knows about this kind of disaster today.
The spies were very dedicated and immediately relayed the message.
Of course, because Konoha was frequently involved in incidents, Zetsu also placed White Zetsu near Konoha.
Bai Jue also sent out this firsthand information.
After a day of fermentation.
The outside world now knows about what happened in Konoha, and most importantly...
Bounty missions on the black market.
Someone else has already done it!
The Uchiha clan members, in full view of everyone, used Danzo's head to redeem the 500 million bounty.
The black market even charged extra entry fees.
Any amount exceeding 500 million was split equally between the Uchiha clan and the black market.
Everyone was happy.
The only ones who were unhappy were the bounty hunters in the black market.
Most people spend money to buy information and qualifications, but end up getting nothing in return.
But so much time has passed, and even after attacking Konoha, Danzo has still not been found.
The Uchiha clan took Danzo's head themselves; if they were less skilled, who could they blame?
Of course, the Uchiha took Danzo's head to the black market, essentially to settle their score.
But after settling the bill, they still got the head back, since it was important physical evidence.

Muye Village
Hokage's Office
"What!? You want me to be Hokage!?"
Tsunade had just finished one round of work when Jiraiya summoned her to the Hokage's office.
Tsunade was somewhat surprised to hear what the Third Hokage said.
The Third Hokage nodded in agreement:
"Indeed, this investigation revealed that the Anbu was infiltrated by Danzo's people. They were secretly researching forbidden techniques, but in the end, the forbidden techniques went out of control and caused an explosion."
Tsunade flew into a rage: "What?! The Anbu has been infiltrated by Danzo?! Old man, do you know what you're saying?"
She was a medical ninja, and she saw so many people die in front of her, not because of war, but for such absurd reasons.
The Third Hokage said with a somber expression, "That's right, so I am responsible for this matter and am prepared to resign."
Jiraiya chimed in from the side:
"Tsunade, many members of the Anbu were trained by Root, so it's inevitable that they'll be infiltrated."
Tsunade slammed her hand on the table, making a dull thud.
"What do you mean by 'inevitable'? Do you know how many people have died in Konoha?"
"Never since the founding of Konoha have so many villagers died!"
Tsunade is right.
Even in the previous three Shinobi World Wars, even when the fighting reached Kikyo Mountain at the gates of Konoha, all the dead were ninjas.
Ninjas are inherently combat units that live on the edge, so casualties are normal.
But this time it was different; villagers died, and thousands of them died.
Jiraiya looked embarrassed and dared not say anything more.
Judging from Tsunade's furious expression, if he said another word, he would break two more of her ribs.
The Third Hokage sighed, "It is precisely because such a thing happened in Konoha during my term that I need to take responsibility for it."
Seeing the Third Hokage's sorrowful expression, Tsunade felt a nameless anger rise within her:
"I don't want to be Hokage, let Jiraiya be the one."
The Third Hokage turned to look at Jiraiya: "If he were reliable, I wouldn't have let you come."
At this point, Jiraiya really wished he could disappear.
He couldn't even get a word in edgewise, and was even dragged out and whipped for his corpse.
"Currently, besides the two of you, only Uchiha Chiyo is qualified in Konoha."
"If you don't become Hokage, Konoha will only fall into the hands of the Uchiha."
Although Tsunade also had prejudices against the Uchiha.
But it's more of a sense of vigilance than hostility.
The Third Hokage earnestly advised:
"Now the Uchiha clan has three Mangekyou Sharingan and controls the One-Tailed Jinchuriki."
"As the principal of the Ninja Academy, Chiyo can easily control the Nine-Tails."
"At the last high-level meeting, Qianyao also fully exposed his belligerent and arrogant nature."
"Once he becomes Hokage, he will definitely drag Konoha into the quagmire of war."
"What we in Konoha need is to recuperate and rebuild our lives."
Tsunade frowned upon hearing this; she truly did not want the Uchiha to succeed as Hokage.
After all, with the Uchiha clan's current strength, it would be a disservice to their three Mangekyou Sharingan if they didn't start a war.
However, fighting a war is not that simple.
Tsunade wasn't afraid of war; rather, it was a bad deal for her.
The reason why Konoha Village was always on the defensive in wars in the past was because the Land of Fire was too rich.
As long as development continues, the national strength of other countries will be far superior.
In terms of population and resources, they can crush each other in many ways.
However, if war breaks out, Konoha is vulnerable to being besieged by multiple countries, and there are too many uncertainties.
Seeing that Tsunade was deep in thought, Jiraiya felt there was hope and said:
"Tsunade, you don't want your grandfather's hard work to be wasted by the Uchiha, do you?"
Tsunade first glared at Jiraiya, then sighed:
"This is too sudden. I don't know anything. I don't want to be Hokage for decades."
Seeing that she had agreed, the Third Hokage quickly said:
"Don't worry, in matters of politics, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and I will assist you."
"If you don't want to be Hokage in a few years and there's another suitable person, you can just step down."
Tsunade rubbed her temples, reluctantly agreeing:
"Alright, you guys handle the rest yourselves. I'm going to the hospital now."
Without waiting for the Third Hokage and Jiraiya, she left on her own.
"Old man, it seems it's done." Jiraiya silently breathed a sigh of relief.
If Tsunade firmly refuses, he will be the last resort.
Now that Tsunade has given in, Jiraiya couldn't be happier.
The Third Hokage also glared at Jiraiya with annoyance.
Jiraiya shuddered: "Hahaha, I'm going to take a break."
He then jumped out of the window.
The Third Hokage picked up his pipe and slowly took a puff.
It's not the worst, thankfully.
……
With such a serious incident occurring in Konoha, rescue efforts are only the first step.
There were many things that followed.
Further investigation, compensation, and accountability are needed.
Danzo was not directly killed by the Tsuchigumo clan's secret technique.
This led to Chiyo seeing Danzo appear at the very center of the explosion.
It is quite obvious that the explosion was related to Danzo.
Danzo had previously been imprisoned by the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage didn't know how much Uchiha Chiyo knew, but as Hokage, he was undoubtedly responsible this time.
Fortunately, Danzo didn't live long before he was killed by him.
Under the "investigation" of the secret service, they could naturally pin whatever charges they wanted on Danzo.
Anyway, everyone in the prison is dead, and nobody knows what happened inside.
At the same time, the mortality rate among patients in the hospital dropped sharply because of Tsunade's presence.
Although Tsunade doesn't directly treat patients, her and Shizune's guidance greatly increases the efficiency of the medical team.
Under the manipulation of certain individuals, Tsunade's name frequently appeared on the lips of various villagers.
Tsunade's past achievements are constantly being reminded of.
The entire Hidden Leaf Village was like a pot of boiling water, with public opinion churning endlessly.
After a few days of fermentation, the Third Hokage convened a meeting of Konoha's high-ranking officials.
