: Why did Your Majesty vote first?

The two toads died with their eyes wide open, their faces filled with disbelief.

Obviously.

They never expected that Jiraiya would also attack them.

"Well done," Junichi praised.

"I'm glad the master is satisfied." Jiraiya humbly lowered his head.

"How are you going to explain this to the people of Mount Myōboku?" Junichi asked curiously.

"That's how it is..."

Jiraiya gathered his thoughts and replied, "Fukasaku and Shima were summoned by me as soon as they replied, and they have no idea what happened."

"After killing them, I kept their bodies."

"I've already been to Mount Myōboku. The reason given was that the remains of the two immortals were nowhere to be found, and even the toads there believed me."

Zhunyi was even more satisfied with what he heard.

"Not bad, not bad!" He patted Jiraiya's shoulder repeatedly.

Jiraiya looked flattered.

"Seal these two corpses away for now. I'll study them later when I have more time." Junichi examined the two corpses, confirmed they were real, and nodded. "Now, let's go to the meeting."

"Yes!" Jiraiya bowed and replied.

……

……

Konoha Auditorium.

The idle Jonin from the village gathered here again after a month.

Last time, they were running for the Fifth Hokage.

This time, it was also because of the Fifth Hokage.

But the difference is that this was the Fifth Hokage, Junichi, who gathered them together.

"Hey, have you heard?"

The Jonin whispered among themselves, their expressions grim.

"Have Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama been confirmed missing?"

"It has been confirmed."

"We found a place about 20 kilometers from Kyoto where a battle took place, but all traces of it were burned away."

"Not many bodies were found either."

"The Uchiha clan is ruthless!"

Someone let out an angry growl.

The others' expressions changed slightly, and they immediately warned, "Watch your words!"

Even a fool would know that it was the Uchiha who intercepted Jiraiya and Tsunade's group.

But no one dared to step forward.

This is Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama!

Two top-tier ninjas, leading elite squads, were completely wiped out!

Jiraiya and Tsunade have also gone missing.

What does this mean?

This means that the power of the Uchiha clan far exceeds their imagination; one clan is equivalent to half the power of Konoha!

"The villagers nearby heard a very loud bird call."

"It's Kakashi's Chidori, isn't it?"

"Damn it, why did we have to give them this technique?"

"Yes, this technique is a perfect fit for the Uchiha clan!"

"Kakashi bears half the responsibility for the disappearances of Jiraiya and Tsunade!"

Many Jonin lingered on Kakashi with hostile gazes.

in the corner.

Kakashi's expression was stiff, but it wasn't visible because he was wearing a mask.

He also felt guilty.

I never imagined that Chidori would enhance the Uchiha clan so much!

As a result, even Tsunade and Jiraiya got into trouble.

But if given the chance again, he would still make the same choice.

Or.

He had no choice at the time.

"alright!"

At the forefront of the crowd, the acting patriarch of the Thousand Hands clan spoke in a deep voice.

Everyone fell silent.

"The Uchiha clan is becoming increasingly rampant, and their methods are becoming more brutal and ruthless. They don't consider Konoha their own village at all, nor do they consider us their comrades!"

"He only cares about himself!"

"Our fifth generation leader is a tyrant!"

The acting patriarch of the Thousand Hands clan said with a grim expression.

Upon hearing this, the others had no choice but to nod, their expressions becoming serious.

"I absolutely cannot accept such a fifth generation leader!" the acting patriarch of the Senju clan gritted his teeth and said, "My Senju clan will fight to the very end!"

The others looked somewhat tempted.

The Uchiha's actions exceeded their limits of patience.

There is no room for retreat.

If they continue to back down, they might end up like the four great families and the Pig-Deer-Butterfly clan, suffering a brutal extermination!

Instantly.

Everyone reached a consensus and stared at the podium with hostility.

Under their watchful eyes.

A short while later.

A figure dressed in a divine robe slowly walked out, with a relaxed and contented expression.

"Wh...what!?"

Everyone stared in astonishment.

Everyone stared in surprise at the two figures that followed behind Junichi as they walked out.

"Lady Tsunade! Lady Jiraiya!"

Swish!

The Hyuga clan members immediately activated their Byakugan and repeatedly confirmed the information.

They nodded slowly to the others.

Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama are real!

"Tsunade, what are you doing here?" The acting head of the Senju clan looked at Tsunade with great surprise, his heart filled with worry over her disappearance.

I can't get in touch with them no matter what I do.

Meanwhile, Tsunade had returned to the village at some point and was walking out with Junichi Uchiha!

"Cough cough..."

Junichi walked to the podium, picked up the microphone, and coughed a few times: "The reason I've gathered everyone here today is to clear up a misunderstanding."

Misunderstand?

Everyone frowned in confusion.

"A month ago, Tsunade-senpai and Jiraiya-senpai questioned whether I was qualified to be the Fifth Hokage," Junichi said with a smile, speaking calmly. "But after communicating with the Daimyo and having in-depth exchanges with him..."

"The two seniors affirmed my achievements and recognized me as the fifth generation."

"From now on, the two of you will serve as elders to assist me in fulfilling my duties as Hokage."

Wow!

There was an uproar below.

All the Jonin stared incredulously at Jiraiya and Tsunade.

"impossible……"

"What a joke, that was a misunderstanding!"

"Lady Tsunade, Lady Jiraiya, why did you surrender first?"

Faced with a crowd of astonished gazes.

Tsunade and Jiraiya deliberately showed gloomy and irritable expressions, but were trying hard to suppress them.

"He's right, it was all a misunderstanding before." Tsunade stepped forward, took the microphone, and said coldly.

I never would have guessed that she acted so submissively in the bedroom last night.

Done.

Tsunade then tossed the microphone to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya took it and said in a deep voice, "The misunderstanding has been cleared up. From now on, Tsunade and I will serve as elders."

After the two finished speaking...

The ninjas below were even more astonished, their mouths agape.

No one could believe it.

Suddenly, Jiraiya and Tsunade's attitudes took a complete 180-degree turn!

What's going on?

"Haha, let's join hands and work together to create a glorious future for Konoha." Junichi said with a smile.

Jiraiya and Tsunade have already stepped down from the stage.

"Tsunade, what exactly is going on..." the acting head of the Senju clan asked impatiently.

"Stop asking, that's how it is," Tsunade interrupted irritably.

Upon seeing this.

Some ninjas familiar with Jiraiya looked at him and asked, "Lord Jiraiya, what's going on here?"

"This is the best possible outcome," Jiraiya said with a heavy expression.

Everyone immediately started to imagine what was going on.

They exchanged glances.

soon.

The fact that all the Jonin reached a tacit understanding must mean that Jiraiya and Tsunade, along with Junichi Uchiha, secretly made an agreement.

That's why the war ended.

Although the specific details of the agreement are unknown, as Jiraiya said...

The fact that the two of them will serve as elders to assist Junichi Uchiha is already the best outcome on the surface!
