Chapter 313 Taking the Initiative
Chapter 313 Taking the Initiative
Several elders were whispering to the ministers, discussing some countermeasures. The atmosphere in the Hokage's office was indeed quite relaxed and intense.
"Seeing you all come back safe and sound, I'm finally relieved." Tsunade said with a smile. It's impossible for her to not feel disappointed when she left directly through the spirit. Now she is the Hokage and can no longer act according to her own temper. As the Kage of a village, she cannot put herself in danger unless she has to. If there is a way, she should be the first to reach a safe place, which is the greatest respect for her subordinates.
"Ah, although this battle had some twists and turns, it was not thrilling. It was still a good journey." Kakashi pondered for a while and gave a good evaluation.
"Oh. Journey? It seems that your battle process was not that difficult. It just so happens that I have a few S-level missions here, so why don't I assign them to you?" Tsunade glanced at Kakashi. Her listless and lazy temperament made her a little displeased.
"Ah, no, no, no, our battle is still very tiring. After all, we have been fighting for such a long time and covering such a long distance. The physical consumption alone is a big problem. We really need some time to rest and recuperate." Kakashi immediately changed his expression, turning into a wry smile and begging for mercy. If he agreed, Kakashi felt that he would have to commit seppuku to apologize in order to appease his companions.
"Humph, I'll let you go this time. Submit a combat report and go and have a rest. The mission reward will be distributed later."
"Hi" xx.
Everyone got a break, except Kakashi. In Tsunade's eyes, this guy was just Li Jiping's tool. He had the strength and the brains, and could be useful anywhere. He was like a panacea. But everyone else got a break, but this guy was left behind to attend the meeting.
"Now, other departments of Konoha have been gradually replaced by us, but the existence of several elders still seriously affects the development of the village. So, I plan to take action against them. What do you think?" Tsunade spoke directly and clearly and just wanted to kill those old guys.
"At present, the strength of several elders has been weakened to a certain extent, especially Elder Mito and Elder Tenshin. They are no longer to be feared. But Elder Danzo..." Shikaku didn't finish his words, but everyone present understood.
Danzo definitely has a lot of hidden power in his hands. As long as he hides in the dark, he will be a threat, and he might erupt at any time. Tsunade can't guard against thieves all day long, and it is really disgusting to avoid the knife attacking from behind at this moment.
"Tsunade, I still hope that there won't be too big a fight or too much damage. After all, they are all Konoha people. No matter which side suffers casualties, it will weaken Konoha." Jiraiya acted as a peacemaker.
"Jiraiya, you are too naive. It has come to this point, it is a life-and-death struggle. All I can do is try not to harm innocent people." Tsunade frowned, very dissatisfied with Jiraiya's argument. This man is always like this. He follows the thoughts of the third generation on major issues, conservative and weak. There are not so many ways to satisfy all. If you want everything, you often get nothing.
“…” Jiraiya did not respond. He knew Tsunade was right. He did not care whether the three elders were dead or alive. However, he still hoped to save the others as much as possible.
"Danzo? Let's put it this way, Kakashi. From today on, keep an eye on Danzo. If there is any unusual movement, you can kill first and report later. Remember, keep an eye on his every move. If you are short of manpower, go find Hyuga Hiashi and monitor him 24 hours a day. He has lost manpower, so he must be replenished and trained. He needs fresh blood to join him, so he must absorb it from other channels. If he needs funds, there must be channels to supply them. Dig them all out for me. Dig out all the behaviors that violate Konoha's laws and regulations and put them out in the open. I want to see how he, who is used to the dark, will end up facing the light."
"As for the other two old guys, they have no power in their hands, but they still want to make trouble, so ask them to leave. Mobilize our people to directly replace the departments they control. If they resist again, arrest them first. If the two elders have anything to say, let them come to me." Tsunade announced the countermeasures against the two elders in a domineering manner. It is to forcibly seize the control of the department and arrest those who refuse to obey. After all, he is the Hokage, and changing a few people will not have much impact on outsiders.
"Hi." Except for Jiraiya, everyone stood up and bowed their heads to show obedience. Tsunade became the Hokage, and the domineering aura of the head of the village became stronger and stronger. This plan was almost entirely made by Tsunade alone, and even Shikaku only explained some of the circumstances. This shows that Tsunade is becoming more and more adept at the position of Hokage.
Following Tsunade's order, Konoha Village returned to peace. Of course, this was only a superficial calm. Many members of various departments were replaced, taken away, investigated, and detained. It is no exaggeration to say that there was a lot of panic. However, the superficial excuses were very formal, either using public power for personal gain or lack of ability. In short, there were various reasons, and they were still the kind that had real evidence.
Now Tsunade has plenty of manpower and material resources, so she is not afraid of their resistance. On the contrary, she is just waiting for them to take action. If they resist arrest, well, what are the ninjas around here doing for nothing? Dare to resist arrest? It will be aggravated, and even nothing will become something serious.
Simple, crude, direct and effective. There is no need for so many strategies when dealing with two people who are seriously weak. Just be direct and simple and overwhelm them with force.
Not to mention, seeing the serious and majestic Anbu, not many people resisted. The Anbu were veterans of battles and had a good command of these office workers. If there were a few young and inexperienced people or unknown undercovers, it would only take a few punches and kicks, no trouble at all.
Of course, Tsunade also asked for a hammer and got it. Not long after the action was started, the Hokage's office was rushed into by someone in a hurry, and the result was that no one was there. The two elders came with high spirits, but left in disappointment. Tsunade was in the tree house, holding a barbecue party, eating meat and drinking wine, and she was so happy. The first dish to deal with the elders was the empty city plan, and the door was closed, which was perfectly implemented.
Play tricks, no one in the hands, play politics, even Tsunade can't be found, the two people who have nowhere to vent their anger come to Danzo's root, wanting to complain and vent. In the end, Danzo is nowhere to be found.
This was terrible. The two elders were almost mad with rage.
Where did Danzo go? Of course, he found something wrong and hid away. Because Tsunade's method against the two elders was, in his opinion, a prelude to dealing with him. In order not to be trapped, he left the existence early and chose to make plans in the base outside. This way, he could attack and defend, which made Danzo feel more at ease.
Little did they know that this action just gave Tsunade an opportunity. Without Danzo in the village, Tsunade could use her methods better. She was afraid that this old man would rely on his strength to cut off the source of the problem, thus restricting Tsunade's hands.
