I'm so sorry, I forgot an important piece of information. I'm really sorry!
Tsunade awakened Wood Release and used it during the coup, causing almost all the major Konoha ninja clans to defect. This is why the coup was able to succeed so smoothly. Although they could have won without it, it was precisely because Tsunade used the power of Wood Release that the morale of Hiruzen Sarutobi's side plummeted, and the major Konoha ninja clans directly sided with Tsunade, ultimately leading to a perfect victory.
Chapter 106 Black Zetsu, You Truly Live Up to Be the Incarnation of My Will
Uchiha Madara: "..."
I'm getting anxious, I'm really getting anxious.
Because of Tobi's report, Madara Uchiha had to get anxious, but he didn't expect that Tsunade could awaken Wood Release, so Hashirama's granddaughter seems to be no ordinary person.
Madara Uchiha initially thought the other party was weak, as he was running away from reality because of his brother's death and was unable to accept the loss of his loved ones. In his view, this behavior was extremely weak.
During the Warring States period, who didn't have someone die in their family?
Both I and Hashirama lost our younger brothers, but we still managed to pull through, didn't we?
Therefore, knowing that Tsunade was grieving over her brother's death and ultimately chose to give up and wander around, Madara Uchiha considered this an extremely weak act, but he couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to it.
But to my utter surprise, Tobi is now telling me that Tsunade has awakened Wood Release... This is...
At this moment, Madara Uchiha was truly shocked.
Hashirama's granddaughter, can she awaken Wood Release?
Wait, so what if he awakens Wood Release?
You have to understand that only Hashirama could fully unleash the power of Wood Release; everyone else's Wood Release is just so-so, nothing to fear, except for Obito...
Madara Uchiha is not afraid, but can that idiot Obito handle it?
Moreover, it wasn't just Tsunade; the person Madara Uchiha was extremely wary of was Haku Mu. Obito's brains were no match for him, but fortunately, he still had a backup plan.
Black Zetsu, the embodiment of his will.
Even so, I'm still not at ease. I can't leave right away; I need to wait a while longer to sort out my thoughts. I can't rely on Obito alone.
Madara Uchiha originally planned to leave in the next couple of days, but he didn't expect such a change in events, so he decided to wait a little longer. He needed to gather more information and make sure everything was correct before he died.
"Ah Fei, how could you not tell me such important information beforehand?"
Ah Fei continued scratching his head, his tone full of apology: "Sorry, I told you I forgot."
what can I do?
I really forgot; I just couldn't remember.
But now I've remembered and am telling you, haven't I?
To be honest, there's no need to be so angry; getting too angry is pointless.
"Lord Madara, in my opinion, Uchiha Hakumo made Tsunade the Fourth Hokage in order to clear his name of his dark history of seizing power through a coup, and Tsunade was made to take the blame for that dark history."
Black Zetsu offered another perspective, suggesting that Bai Mu's actions must have a deeper meaning, considering that this was a coup d'état to seize the Hokage position.
So, in order to improve his reputation, he decided not to become the Fourth Hokage and would wait until the Fifth Hokage.
While this doesn't mean it can be completely cleared up, it will naturally be forgotten over time. Moreover, it's now rumored in the ninja world that Tsunade, in alliance with the Uchiha clan, launched a coup.
This statement is intriguing and quite misleading.
"Black Zetsu, you truly are the embodiment of my will." Madara Uchiha glanced at Black Zetsu, quite pleased with himself; he's still got a sharp mind.
Great, with you here, we can keep that idiot Obito in check.
"Lord Ban, you flatter me."
Black Zetsu was polite on the surface, but he was cursing inwardly.
I am Kaguya's will, not Madara Uchiha's will! As the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, you should just die already, lest you delay the next reincarnation of Indra.
If you're not up to par, I'll have to keep an eye on the next Indra chakra reincarnation. You can't put all your eggs in one basket; Black Zetsu has known this principle for a thousand years.
However, Madara Uchiha has the best chance because he has awakened the Rinnegan.
However, Black Zetsu had been patiently waiting for a thousand years, always seeking an opportunity to rescue his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki. Naturally, he couldn't possibly bet everything on Madara Uchiha.
Yes, Madara Uchiha has the best chance, but that doesn't mean there won't be problems.
Therefore, the next Indra or Asura must be appointed as soon as possible.
"Obito, before you take any action, you must discuss it with Black Zetsu properly. Don't make decisions on your own. Remember, the Eye of the Moon Plan is the most important."
After praising Black Zetsu, Madara Uchiha didn't forget to give Obito Uchiha a few words of advice.
It doesn't matter if you're not smart enough; it's precisely because you're brainless that I chose you.
Otherwise, I'll choose Uchiha Hakumu.
"understood."
Obito Uchiha replied expressionlessly.
Madara Uchiha is still alive, so he won't have any ulterior motives. But once someone dies, things will be different. The mastermind behind the Eye of the Moon Plan may not necessarily be Madara Uchiha.
resurrection?
Hmph, forget it.
He could not possibly bring Madara Uchiha back to life.
The only person who can execute the Eye of the Moon Plan and achieve Infinite Tsukuyomi is him.
"Rin, I'm going to create a world where there's only you. Wait for me." Uchiha Obito was very determined, being a devoted simp.
Madara Uchiha didn't care what his chosen pawns were thinking, because no matter what their intentions were, he had already made arrangements, and the opponent had no choice but to follow the plan.
You can't resist.
Because I have already arranged your predetermined fate.
Obito, you've always been just a pawn.
……
The third day after the coup.
Konoha has stabilized.
With proper coordination among departments, the work proceeded flawlessly.
The border troops have been withdrawn one after another, and the Third Shinobi World War has basically come to an end. What follows is the negotiation between Kumogakure and Sunagakure.
After the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Iwagakure chose to negotiate with Konoha and successfully signed a ceasefire agreement. Although it was signed by the Third Hokage, it did not mean that Konoha did not recognize it. Therefore, Iwagakure did not send any delegations, but Kumogakure and Sunagakure were willing to do so.
Among them, the Hidden Cloud Village was the most proactive. Even though the entire Hidden Cloud Village hated the Hidden Leaf Village to the bone, especially Hakumu and Tsunade, they still had to bow their heads and submit.
With the Raikage killed in battle, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki captured alive, and the three thousand elite Cloud Village troops suffering heavy losses, almost wiped out, the Cloud Village was no longer able to fight.
The once proud head must now be bowed.
The Hidden Mist Village chose to continue its blockade, showing no interest in communicating with the outside world, especially since the Fourth Mizukage now has his own plans, in addition to the Land of Water's uniquely advantageous geographical environment.
Whether we talk or not, it's all the same. You can't exactly start a war in Konoha, can you?
If you insist on crossing the ocean to attack our Hidden Mist Village, then you must be determined to do so.
This doesn't seem like a good deal at all.
Of course, compared to the delegations from Kumogakure and Sunagakure, the most important thing for Konoha right now is the distribution of power, and all the ninja clans are waiting silently.
Tsunade and the Uchiha clan, whom Bai Mu ordered, were the main forces behind the coup.
Tsunade became the Fourth Hokage, while Bai Mu, the head of the Uchiha clan and the captain of the security force, wielded immense power.
Despite Tsunade being the Hokage, Hakumu's power is no less than Tsunade's, and could even be considered greater.
Those ninja clans all understood that the Security Department already wielded considerable power, and now that it was under Bai Mu's control, its functions were further strengthened, making it arguably the most powerful organization among all the departments in Konoha at present.
Chapter 107 I'll ask again, no one objects, right?
In the meeting room of the Hokage Building.
Around ten o'clock, everyone who was supposed to arrive was already sitting there waiting, and Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who had just returned yesterday, arrived early.
After all, they wanted to see Tsunade as soon as they got back yesterday, but unfortunately it was too late and they couldn't. So they could only meet at today's meeting.
The heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans—Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza—were all present, along with Namikaze Minato, though the little sun wasn't smiling at the moment.
To be honest, the huge changes that happened in Konoha really shocked him.
How did a coup happen?
It's truly incomprehensible.
However, Minato Namikaze remembered what his teacher Jiraiya had said yesterday. Now that things were as they were, there was no point in doing anything.
Moreover, the current Fourth Hokage is not from the Uchiha clan, but Tsunade is enough.
Minato Namikaze understood the implication of those words. If it wasn't someone from the Uchiha clan who became Hokage, then it was acceptable, let alone the fact that Lady Tsunade was in that position...
What else is there to say?
Within the village, everyone agrees.
As for the high-ranking officials led by the third generation, they're gone and that's it; there's no going back. They can't afford to fight amongst themselves again, can they? We've already done it once; we can't let it happen again.
Moreover, can we even win?
Jiraiya lacked self-confidence.
The symbolism of Wood Release is immense.
After he and Orochimaru returned, they found all the Jonin who were present that day, whether they came from ninja clans or were commoner ninjas.
The purpose was to understand the situation that day.
After speaking with Hiashi Hyuga, the head of the Hyuga clan, both Jiraiya and Orochimaru understood that if Tsunade and Hakumaki joined forces, they would be virtually invincible in the village.
Of course, when Jiraiya learned that Danzo possessed the Wood Release of the First Hokage and the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, his worldview was completely shattered.
Wood Release combined with Sharingan, what price would you have to pay?
The thought of the serious consequences of the Wood Release experiment undoubtedly made Jiraiya doubt his teacher, and he deeply resented his teacher for protecting Danzo.
