Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 59: Temporary Appointment, New Functions, and Purple Gacha!

Koharu left the office, followed by several ANBU who relayed the Hokage's orders.

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe in the office and looked out at the Hokage Rock.

His gaze fell on the statue of the second generation, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

This was his first large-scale mobilization for war since inheriting the position of Third Hokage.

Only victory is allowed; defeat is not permitted.

He knew very well how difficult it had been for him to become worthy of the position of Third Hokage!

At that time, without Mito-sama's support, and without taking Tsunade as her disciple... everything might have been completely different!

He had just made up his mind, but Hiruzen Sarutobi still hesitated.

Teacher, I made the right decision!

Everything for the village.

I will definitely lead the village to become stronger!

...

"Are they not even going to put on an act? Do they want to destroy the village?!"

Tsunade angrily punched the wall, and the entire wall collapsed with a crash.

She couldn't believe what she was seeing!

Inside the medical association's warehouse, two corpses were conspicuously displayed.

After a simple investigation and verification, the identities of the two were easily confirmed: ninjas from the Utatane clan!

As for how it was discovered?

That sealing technique was so crude it was almost unbearable to look at; it was immediately identified as a genuine switch-bed technique!

"Lady Tsunade, please calm down. Don't jump to conclusions before the investigation is complete," Yuuki advised.

When you actually investigate, you'll find that everything is true!

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Tsunade's mood worsened, and she even began to think about how to launch a direct counterattack.

Under Yuuki's influence, Tsunade's actions became increasingly daring.

"By the way, does the Medical Association have any other questions?"

“Hmm, there are a lot of problems.” Yushu looked troubled. “First of all, there’s the fire. Multiple parts of the building were on fire at the same time, and the fire spread instantly. It seems to be a swift and planned operation.”

"Hmm." Tsunade's expression remained unchanged. Based on the evidence from the two corpses, she could basically conclude that it was that old woman Koharu Utatane who was behind it.

It seems she underestimated the three generations of high-ranking members of the gang.

Shimura Danzo is no good, and this Koharu Utatane's actions are not aboveboard either!

According to the investigation, the first person to arrive at the scene of the fire was a ninja from the Utatane clan.

Tsunade was working overtime at Konoha Hospital last night, which is only a few blocks away from the Medical Association.

Going up to the rooftop will be even faster!

Even so, she and Xiaochun, who was switching dorms, met at the association's entrance at almost the same time!

That's not right!

Whether it's the medical department where Koharu Tsurugi works, or the Tsurugi clan's territory, they are both quite far from the Medical Association!

There was absolutely no way that old woman could have arrived at the crime scene before her.

Unless, that person is the murderer!

Is it arson, false accusations, or a power struggle?

Seeing Tsunade's bad expression, Yuuki realized he had achieved his goal of leaving the body behind.

The darkness in Konoha must be a comprehensive darkness at the highest levels, otherwise the conflicts will not end easily, and it will be easier for him to gain benefits!

Xiaochun wasn't wronged by the decision to switch dorms.

Every single one of the Konoha F4 members has an almost limitless desire for power.

According to the course of history, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado will not relinquish their power until the fifth, sixth, and seventh generations take office.

He constantly expresses his opinions at various meetings, big and small, trying to make his presence felt and vying for power with the current Hokage.

Besides, Yuuki didn't play a significant role in last night's major operation.

All they did was kill two weak Chunin and set a big fire.

“Lady Tsunade.” Yuuki’s expression turned grave. He sighed and said uncertainly, “The medical building was burned beyond recognition, but a lot of the filed intelligence… is missing, and a lot of newly purchased supplies… were also burned.”

"You don't need to exonerate that old woman, Xiaochun, who changed dorm rooms!"

Tsunade felt a little sorry for Yuuki for prioritizing the greater good.

Even when it came down to a real fight, this kid was unwilling to give a definitive answer.

"The old man is getting old after all. If Konoha continues like this, I'm afraid the legacy of my great-grandfather and second great-grandfather will be ruined!"

Tsunade shook her head in disappointment. "The process of promoting Akimichi Torifu to the position of advisor elder must be accelerated. At the very least, the higher-ups cannot be allowed to act recklessly!"

"Lady Tsunade..." Yuuki sighed deeply, looking somewhat disappointed. "I thought the Hokage was a kind and gentle elder, but I never expected things to develop to the point of being at odds with each other today."

"Why on earth?!"

Tsunade fell silent. When exactly did her path with the old man begin to drift further and further apart?

"Lady Tsunade, there's an urgent report!"

Just then, an elite member of the Senju clan appeared beside Tsunade in a flash, his face showing a hint of anxiety.

"what's up?"

Although the elite Senju were anxious, they still glanced at Yuuki.

"Speak your mind, Yuuki is no outsider!"

Upon hearing this, Yuuki's thoughts stirred slightly. Was this a sign that Tsunade had completely accepted him?

"Lady Tsunade! The Uzumaki clan has requested reinforcements! The defenses of the three overseas islands have completely collapsed! They have retreated back to the mainland of the Land of Whirlpools!"

"What did you say?!" Tsunade exclaimed in shock. "Quickly contact the village and send reinforcements!"

The Senju elite gritted their teeth: "The village believes the intelligence is unreliable and refuses to send troops to support the Uzumaki family!"

Damn it!

Tsunade couldn't help but show a solemn expression; the old man couldn't let go of that earth-shattering strategy!

After this period of confrontation, she naturally figured out the strategic plan proposed by the Hokage!

From the highest point in the village, the Hokage's plan is sound.

Intimidate the Land of Rain, first the west, then the east, and annihilate the Ninja World!

Presumably, after receiving this intelligence, a great war in the Land of Rain is about to break out.

It's understandable that the village abandoned its support for the vortex in order to fight the big battle.

However, the Senju clan are allies and relatives by marriage to the Uzumaki clan. Their decision to abandon the rescue would only be disheartening!

Is this the old man's complete strategy?

Thinking of this, Tsunade couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

By deliberately putting the Uzumaki clan in danger, the village abandoned its support, forcing the Senju family to make a choice.

Either the Senju disobey the village's orders and forcibly support the Uzumaki.

Either use your full resources to support the vortex.

Regardless of the possibility, the Hokage has won!

Tsunade subconsciously buried the speculation about the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools deep in her mind.

The Third Hokage might weaken the Uzumaki clan at most, but he wouldn't let his ally perish, would he?

For nearly thirty years, the Land of Whirlpools has been the most solid defensive line on the eastern side of the Land of Fire!

Thinking of this, Tsunade decided to do something herself; she was going crazy from being cooped up in the village all this time!

"Uchiha Yuuki! I hereby officially appoint you as the Vice Director of Konoha Hospital! From now on, you will manage Konoha Hospital in my stead!"

"If you encounter any trouble, you can go to the Senju clan's territory and find Grandma Mito... But never mind, you're just an Uchiha, you won't get into any trouble."

"Tsunade-sama..." Before Yuuki could react, Tsunade and the Senju elites vanished in an instant.

Yuuki stopped calling out, simply because—

New notification appears!

[Achievement accomplished!]

[Title: "Second place is great too!"]

[Condition: Become the second-in-command of the highest medical institution in the ninja world, but wield the power of the head.]

[Reward: Unlocks the gashapon machine's critical hit feature]

What strange conditions for achieving this!

If we keep calculating like this, how many achievements are there to farm?

Yuuki unfolded the information and instantly understood the purpose of the new feature.

Simply put, there's a chance to get a green gacha from the white gacha pool.

The green gacha pool has a chance to drop a purple gacha!

The purple gashapon likely corresponds to the combat power of a Jonin!
