After confirming the situation with Sasuke, Sakura and Sasuke headed ho, though their house had undoubtedly been destroyed by Pain. Naruto's ho was in the sa condition. After leaving Tsunade's office, the group decided to et up at Ichiraku Ran. They chose Ichiraku Ran because it was one of the few places that hadn't been affected by Pain's assault on the Hidden Leaf Village.
Their luck seed to be that good, possibly because people believed the owner of Ichiraku Ran, Teuchi, was sohow connected to the powerful Otsutsuki clan. anwhile, Yoruha was asked to stay behind by Tsunade. Yoruha knew Tsunade wanted to discuss the capture of Danzo with him.
After all, besides Sasuke, Yoruha was the only one in the village capable of capturing Danzo. However, sending Sasuke to capture Danzo would undoubtedly lead to criticism. Sasuke clearly understood this, so he neither volunteered for the task nor stayed behind.
Once everyone else had left, only Yoruha, Tsunade, the two Hokage advisors, and Shizune remained in the tent. Tsunade looked at Yoruha and asked, "Orochimaru summoned the four Hokage. Are you feeling pressured?" Tsunade was particularly concerned about this matter, knowing that Orochimaru had always wanted to destroy the Leaf Village.
She was worried, especially now that she knew he could summon the four Hokage and allow them to fight with their full strength from when they were alive. Tsunade was aware that Hashirama's power far exceeded that of Pain.
Pain's Almighty Push was nothing compared to a single punch from Hashirama's Thousand-Handed Buddha, which had a thousand such punches. If Yoruha struggled against Hashirama, Tsunade would be very concerned. After all, Yoruha was already the strongest ninja in the Leaf Village.
If he couldn't defeat them, who could? The two Hokage advisors were also deeply concerned about this issue. Yoruha replied, "The pressure isn't too great. I might sound a bit arrogant, but with my current strength, I can suppress the four Hokage, even if they have their full powers from when they were alive."
"That's exactly what I did at the ti." Tsunade was montarily taken aback, then laughed, "Haha, you cheeky brat, quite confident, aren't you?"
"But I'm reassured by your strength. I'm just worried that if Orochimaru revives the First Hokage, it could be a significant threat." Yoruha nodded in agreent. Tsunade then asked, "By the way, did Grandpa ntion ?"
This question made Yoruha a bit uncomfortable. Seeing Yoruha's expression, Tsunade frowned, "What, did he speak ill of ?" Clearly, the relationship between Hashirama and Tsunade wasn't quite like the traditional grandparent-grandchild relationship.
The two Hokage advisors looked at Tsunade with helpless expressions. Who talks about their grandfather like that? But knowing Tsunade's temper, they kept their mouths shut, lest they be reprimanded. Even Shizune didn't dare to speak.
Yoruha scratched his head awkwardly and said, "He knows you're the Hokage now, and he might be a little concerned." Tsunade clenched her fist, "That old man, he might not have been a better Hokage than . Is he worried about or just looking down on ?" Hearing Tsunade's bold words, Yoruha was at a loss for words.
If the First Hokage heard his granddaughter talk about him like that, who knows what he would think.
Hashirama's personality probably wouldn't mind, he might even laugh it off. After Tsunade said this, she asked, "What about Second Grandpa? What does he think?"
Though she said she didn't care, Tsunade was still concerned about how her elders viewed her. Yoruha shook his head, "The Second Hokage didn't ntion you." Tsunade was montarily stunned, "That cold old man, he really doesn't care about his descendants."
Yoruha smiled wryly, "If I say sothing, you're angry; if I don't, you're still angry?" The two Hokage advisors were also quite helpless. After all, the Second was their teacher, but there was nothing they could do since the Second was also Tsunade's grandfather. Tsunade had the right to say these things.
Tsunade snorted, "You must have been badmouthing in front of them, right?" She targeted Yoruha. Yoruha raised his hands, "I'm innocent! It was only when they asked who the current Hokage was that I said it was you. I didn't say a single bad word about you."
"In fact, I even praised you a lot." Tsunade leaned in, suspiciously eyeing Yoruha, "Really?" Yoruha nodded earnestly, "Absolutely."
Only then did Tsunade smile, patting Yoruha on the shoulder, "I knew you were on my side." "By the way, I'll leave the task of capturing Danzo to you. Don't let Sasuke get involved. If he gets involved, it changes the nature of things." "It's the village putting Danzo on trial, not him personally. He's going to be Hokage one day, and we can't leave any room for gossip."
Yoruha nodded, "I understand that perfectly." Tsunade thought for a mont and said, "I'll put the Anbu under your command. From now on, you'll be in charge of the Anbu. While capturing Danzo, you should also disband Root. The Third had already ordered them to disband, but they've persisted until now." Tsunade had already made several attempts to dismantle the Root organization, but each ti Danzo managed to retain core mbers, allowing him to revive it.
This ti, Tsunade wanted to completely disband Root. Yoruha looked at Tsunade, puzzled, "Are you trying to offload the Anbu onto ?" Tsunade glared at Yoruha, "What, you're not happy with a promotion? That's the Anbu, directly under the Hokage, and now you're in charge. You're not pleased?"
Tsunade was speechless. She trusted Yoruha so much to give him command of the Anbu, yet he seed to disdain it. Yoruha sighed, "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I don't have the ability to lead the Anbu." Tsunade coldly replied, "Is it that you lack the ability or that you don't want to?"
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want to slack off, right? I used to indulge you, but the ninja world is becoming more dangerous. You can't slack off anymore; you need to take responsibility." "I might not require you to beco Hokage, but at the very least, you need to lead the Anbu well."
For other ninjas, gaining command of the Anbu, and from Tsunade's tone, it seed she intended to hand it over to him completely, would be an incredible opportunity. But for Yoruha, it was just too troubleso. His battles were ones the Anbu couldn't help with, yet he'd have to deal with all their trivial matters.
Just thinking about it was exhausting. But with Tsunade in a bad mood, Yoruha didn't argue. He could only say, "Alright, I'll have Captain Yamato help manage it."
Currently, Yamato was the captain of the Konoha Anbu, so having him manage it wouldn't be a problem. Tsunade glared at Yoruha, "I want you to lead it personally. If I could just hand it over to Yamato, why would I bother with you?"
"Do I really have to beg you for such a small matter? Are you going to let be Hokage or not?" Tsunade was speechless. To others, this was a sign of imnse trust and a huge gift she was giving Yoruha. How could he be so dismissive? Did he think the Anbu was so insignificant departnt?
The two Hokage advisors, who had been silent, were even more speechless now. Watching these two, what was the Anbu to them? They were just pushing it back and forth.
Did they really disdain the Anbu so much? The command of the Anbu was sothing Danzo had always dread of obtaining, yet here they were, dismissing it. If others knew, they'd probably be infuriated by these two.
