The current month has passed the flowering period, and there are no flowers on the branches. There are only fruits, hanging on the trees like cherries, but they cannot be eaten.

This is near the Hokage Rock. Many people like to stand on the Hokage Rock and overlook the magnificent scene of the whole village, which makes people feel proud.

But many people don't know that at the foot of Hokage Rock, there is a sea of ​​cherry blossom trees, which are so beautiful during the flowering season that it can take people's breath away.

Refers to pollen allergy.

Tsunade is here. She comes here whenever she is bored. She doesn't want to see what the Hokage is looking at. She just wants to see her grandfather.

No one can pamper her like her grandfather and allow her to be willful. Therefore, she often misses the days when her grandfather was still around.

It would be great if grandpa was still here.

Not only did she have someone to gamble with, but she also had someone to protect her.

Sitting under a cherry blossom tree, Tsunade hugged her knees weakly, curled up and buried her head.

She didn't want to be Hokage, not because she was afraid of the responsibilities she would shoulder, but because she was afraid that she would make a mistake.

And she couldn't imagine the consequences if she made a mistake.

Therefore, fear.

I'm just an ordinary girl who can be seen everywhere. Why do people put all their expectations and hopes on me?

It's really hard to breathe being expected by everyone.

And once I fail to meet my expectations, the disappointed look will kill me, right?

"What are you doing hiding here, Brain Gate."

Tsunade raised her head when she heard this. Under the spots of light cast by the gaps in the branches of the forest, she walked slowly to a certain distance and stood still.

"Insect girl, I don't have time to play with you now." Tsunade said and lowered her head again.

She no longer cared about being embarrassed by this guy.

"What are you worrying about? Let me have fun talking about it." Mei Ji said.

With veins popping out on her forehead, Tsunade gritted her teeth and said, "I'm just breathing."

"Breathe some air?" Mei Ji said, "What, aren't you hiding and crying secretly?"

"No!" Tsunade stood up and roared at Miki.

"Isn't this very spirited?" Mei Ji said: "The melancholy look just now is not like you, just like a beautiful girl. No matter how much you pretend to be, you are actually a violent woman with brute force."

"The boys in the village will not fall for such a simple trick."

With veins bulging out, Tsunade took a deep breath and clenched her fists.

"Are you here to see my joke!?"

"If you don't tell me, you still don't know what kind of joke it is."

"Have you already acquiesced that it's a joke! Is there a joke carved on my forehead?!" As she said that, Tsunade stepped forward angrily, approaching Miki aggressively, and roared: "Ah!!"

"Don't get too close..." Mei Ji stretched out her hand to push Tsunade's face away and said, "It tastes in your mouth, it's so disgusting."

With blue veins bulging on her forehead, Tsunade stamped her feet. In an instant, the ground undulated like waves. Centered on the two of them, a circular pit instantly formed, and the surrounding cherry blossom trees fell to pieces.

Mei Ji said: "So, don't you want to tell me what you are worried about, Brain Gate."

"Why do I have to tell you!?" Tsunade clenched her fists.

"So, who else can you tell? Jiraiya? Orochimaru? The Sandaime? Mito? Or..." Miki looked up at the Hokage Rock and said, "The First and Second Generations?"

"A dead person cannot listen to his troubles. Although he may be able to do so in the future, it will not be necessary then."

Her lips moved, and after a long moment, Tsunade said stubbornly: "I don't want to tell you."

"No matter what kind of joke, I will not laugh. Besides, I have never seen any of your jokes..." Mei Ji said, "Are you afraid of adding a new joke?"

"Ahhhhh..." Hearing this, Tsunade scratched her head and moaned weakly and madly.

But after being treated like this, I was no longer in a sad mood.

The taste has changed…

Miki waited quietly. Finally, Tsunade said dejectedly: "Everyone puts their lives in my hands. It's too heavy and I'm afraid."

"That's it?" Mei Ji said, "Is there anything else?"

What do you mean?

I am obviously very seriously troubled.

Tsunade said: "Becoming the fourth generation means going against the third generation. Mr. Sarutobi won't be angry, right?"

"No more?" Mei Ji asked.

"Yeah." Tsunade girl nodded.

"Want to hear my opinion?" Mei Ji said.

Tsunade looked at Miki expectantly.

"Second question first."

Mei Ji said.

"As Hokage, incompetence is useless."

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and Tsunade immediately retorted: "Sarutobi-sensei is not incompetent. He has tried his best. It's just that managing the village is too difficult!"

"It's not difficult. To manage the village, everyone just needs someone to lead them. To move in a good direction, it's not enough to just stand still."

Are you standing still?

Tsunade wondered.

"In the past ten years, nothing has changed in the village. What it was like when the second generation was handed over to the third generation is what it is now." Meiji said: "Without change, we can't move forward, and we may go backwards. You know, the village It has been on the verge of falling apart, and with all his strength, he can only maintain this stalemate.”

"Why?"

"Why can't the Sandaime do anything?" Miki said: "Because no one trusts him. The only thing the Ninja clan can trust is the Ninja clan itself."

"There will be no change if we continue. Sooner or later, this big tree will fall down under the care of three generations."

"The most ridiculous thing is that instead of uniting everyone's strength, they set up a confrontation between the ninja clan and civilian ninjas, and took the lead in fighting against the ninja clan."

"As the leader of the ninja clan chosen by the ninja clan, he fights against the ninja clan."

"This is related to the fact that the Ninja clan put too much pressure on him. He is worried that he cannot control the power of the Ninja clan, so he can eradicate the real root of this big tree, the Ninja clan."

"So the Hokage takes the lead in the rebellion. It's really funny. One mouth is a village. Aren't the ninjas members of the village?"

"Everyone, just seeing this, can't trust him, and can't give him the power to change."

"And his own ability is not enough to change all this."

"But you are different, Tsunade. Everyone is willing to give their power to you, and even their own lives."

"Why, you are a Senju and the princess of Konoha."

"Everyone gathered around the First Aim, did they succumb to the First Aim's power?"

"Everyone just wants to see the ideal world that the Shodaime said and follow him."

"The day we deviate from this ideal is the day Konoha dies."

"And this simple wish is just that the Ninja clan hopes that they can live a peaceful and peaceful life without the precarious turmoil and fighting."

"The bottom line is that at least the children of the clan can spend a peaceful childhood. For this reason, they can fight for Konoha in this cruel ninja world."

"And when this bottom line is trampled..."

"Who wants to fight for the Hokage?"

"Signs have already appeared."

"The cold-hearted and unaware Sandaime himself is not as great as he imagined."

"Without the third generation's acquiescence, Danzo would not have the ability to do such a thing. Now he is just taking action against the helpless orphans and taking them away for training to prepare for future ninja wars."

"Whether I will take action against the children of the Ninja clan in the future, I can't say for sure."

"Besides, do these helpless children like weeds deserve to die for the village?"

"And after the war, the strength of the ninja clan weakened, and they became less and less able to fight against the village."

"I can only cling tightly to the village and let the village take whatever it wants."

"Everyone is afraid of this kind of thing, they are afraid of the village, and they are afraid of the monster Konoha, this cruel war machine created by everyone."

"Therefore, everyone wants to compete to the top, become Hokage, and bring life to the clan."

"And the Sandaime betrayed everyone."

"The village and the ninja clan, the Sandaime chose the village, and everything is expendable for the village, including children, civilian ninjas, and himself."

"So there is no bottom line for him."

"Anyone can die for the village."

"Whoever threatens the village will die."

"Maybe you don't quite understand it yet."

"Let's put it another way, between this monster in the village and a living person, Tsunade, who are you going to choose?"

"Human or monster?"

"But Tsunade, you have to know that a village only has people."

“If the hearts of the people are scattered, the village will cease to exist.”

"In front of people, the village must take a step back, not for the sake of the village, but for everyone's life."

"The Sandaime made a mistake about the most important thing, who is more important, people or the village."

"Leaves can burn, and people will die if they burn. The big tree that absorbs the nutrients of this blood and tears, under the will of fire, will only become ugly and ferocious, which is scary, because the village is eating people."

Is the village so scary?

Tsunade's eyes trembled...

"After this ninja war, the fate of the village and everyone in the future will be decided."

"Don't back down at this critical moment. The future fourth generation, let the third generation retire with dignity."

"First of all, set a small goal to win this ninja war."

"And then you have to change the village."

Tsunade knows why she wants to become Hokage...

"But..." Tsunade looked at Miki helplessly and said, "I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid..." Miki said, reaching out and putting her hand on Tsunade, and said: "Whether it's me, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Senju, Hinata, Uchiha, or everyone in the village, we will fight to the death to protect you. "

"No..." Although Tsunade was very moved, she still said awkwardly: "You know that I will lose in every bet, and I'm afraid I will lose Konoha..."

“…”

this…

It's really a big problem.

"Then, let's stake our lives as chips."

"If you risk your life, you won't lose. Isn't that what we have been fighting all along?"

Hearing this, Tsunade's eyes lit up.

I think I can do it!

Also bet my life!

Tsunade faced Miki with a smile as bright and bold as the sun.

As a princess, she is the big sun shining in the eyes of everyone in the village.

There is already the sun, so what kind of fire is needed to illuminate the village?

It’s just that sometimes the sun is too strong and a layer of skin will peel off.

But that's better than burning.

The new era requires new will.

"Tsunade, after you become Hokage, don't follow the example of the Third Generation and promote your will to gamble. Please promise me." Miki said.

Hearing this, blue veins popped out on Tsunade's forehead.

"Bug girl!!"

"Do you think it's okay again, Brain Gate."

Tsunade flew towards Miki with all her strength.

Mei Ji said: "It's the insect clone."

The body disintegrated into a swarm of insects, drowning Tsunade again.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"He actually sent a clone to fool me!!"
