Chapter 234: Kato Dan's Ill Intentions
Had Senju Tobirama really become crippled?
Li Jiexuan widened his eyes in shock, but after Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, he sneered, "Of course, that's just the official statement to the outside!"
"Official statement?" Li Jiexuan was getting completely confused. "So is the old man crippled or not?"
"Of course not!" Senju Tobirama curled his lip in disdain. "Do you really think that with my speed, that stupid tanuki of the One-Tail could even touch me?"
Five minutes later, Li Jiexuan finally understood everything…
Senju Tobirama and the others were fishing!
Ever since the war began, the Uchiha clan, driven by the grief brought by war, had awakened many Sharingan, and their strength had skyrocketed. Their achievements in battle had also grown greater and greater…
As a result, the Uchiha clan inevitably became inflated. In the past, they at least looked down on others with their noses in the air; now, even if ordinary people stood on tiptoe, they could only see the Uchiha clansmen's chins.
Unexpectedly, because of Li Jiexuan, the speed of the Uchiha's expansion had advanced by two whole generations compared to the original anime timeline!
"If this continues, the day I'm gone, the Uchiha will definitely seize the position of Hokage by force." Senju Tobirama frowned. "With the Uchiha clan's temperament, Konoha Village would only meet destruction in their hands!"
"That's precisely why I wanted to test them!" Senju Tobirama sneered and shook his head. "So I pretended to have a leg injury and announced that I would be selecting the next Hokage successor!"
Sure enough, as soon as the news spread, the Uchiha clan went completely mad. They already believed themselves superior, yet had been suppressed for so long by the First and Second Hokage brothers!
The pent-up frustration and resentment erupted like a volcano…
"They're using every possible means!"
Senju Tobirama angrily slapped the armrest of his wheelchair. "These past days, in order to ascend to the Hokage's seat, they've used every trick in the book!"
"They smeared you simply because of your reputation. I also tried to satisfy their desires by giving them authority over the police force." Senju Tobirama shook his head coldly. "But only later did I realize—their desires have no limit at all!"
"Old man, what are you planning to do?" Li Jiexuan frowned. This Uchiha clan really was too impatient. Uchiha Itachi hadn't even been born yet, and they were already rushing to get themselves killed.
It only added more variables!
"Wait!"
Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes and sneered. "Wait until they do anything that harms even the slightest part of the village—then we'll wipe out the entire Uchiha clan completely!"
As expected of Senju Tobirama—far more straightforward than Sarutobi Hiruzen. If he says he'll kill your whole family, then he'll kill your whole family. No sighing or sentimental hesitation…
At that moment, the guard outside in the corridor suddenly cried out in alarm: "Princess, the Hokage is currently discussing important matters inside—you can't go in!"
The next second…
"Bang!"
The office door was violently kicked open. Five-year-old Tsunade stood weakly at the doorway, staring fixedly at Li Jiexuan, her eyes unknowingly brimming with tears.
Tsunade!
But what left Li Jiexuan stunned was that beside Tsunade stood an especially eye-catching figure—Kato Dan!
Why was this guy here? Li Jiexuan scratched his head, feeling as if something green was sprouting over it. Could it be that…
At that moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned in and whispered in his ear, "After you disappeared, Kato Dan has been staying by Tsunade's side all along—but Tsunade has never once smiled at him."
Before he could finish speaking…
"Pfft!"
Tsunade suddenly smiled like a blooming flower, tears streaming down her face as she laughed. "Jiexuan-kun, you're finally back…"
