Naruto: Talent Analyst-Chapter 122: [EXTRA 1] Tsunade is no Better than Jiraiya

Jiraiya was taken away.

In the conference room, not a single person stood up for Jiraiya.

This was really on Jiraiya.

Normally, he doesn't return to Konoha at all.

Now that he's finally been back for just a few days, he's still up to his usual antics.

He's one of the famous Konoha Sannin but he's still such a mess.

Many people even thought to themselves that Jiraiya shouldn't have come back to Konoha at all.

He didn't contribute much to the war, and now that the war was over, he still wasn't taking things seriously.

Just leave Konoha already!

In the conference room, negotiations with Iwagakure over peace terms wrapped up quickly.

Iwagakure paid massive war reparations and handed over a significant number of ninjutsu scrolls.

Additionally, they spent a fortune to redeem the captured Iwa ninjas.

Onoki had no intention of continuing the fight with Konoha.

After the last battle, Onoki knew that if Yuta wanted to, he could completely obliterate Iwagakure and annihilate all Iwa ninjas.

In this situation, Iwagakure had no leverage to negotiate with Konoba.

Not to mention, Iwagakure's backbone was a seventy year old Tsuchikage.

And how old was Yuta?

Among the younger generation, no one could compete with him.

Even Deidara, whom Onoki had high hopes for, was nowhere near close to Yuta.

Iwagakure's current state was even worse than when the village was first founded.

Back then, although Madara was a threat to all the villages, Hashirama sought peace.

Besides, both Madara and Hashirama were already getting old.

Iwagakure just needed to outlast them.

But now—

Ohoki estimated that by the time Yuta reaches his peak, he himself will have already been long dead.

Given these circumstances, Iwagakure has no choice but to submit completely.

No matter what Konoha demanded, as long as it wasn't total destruction, Iwagakure had to and would agree.

They had originally planned to negotiate, but after witnessing what had happened to Kumogakure, they knew what they should do.

"Yuta, what are you planning to do next?"

After the Iwagakure delegation left, Tsunade stood up and stared intently at Yuta.

Earlier, Jiraiya had written in his letter that Yuta intended to abolish the Hokage position.

Yuta glanced at Tsunade and suddenly smiled.

He said, "Looks like Jiraiya told you about my plan."

"I'm guessing he's against it. But knowing Jiraiya, he doesn't want to be tied down as the Hokage either. So, let me guess! He wants you to take the position instead, right?"

Tsunade's eyes flickered with surprise, but she didn't deny it.

She said, "That's right."

"And what do you think?" Yuta asked.

Tsunade wrinkled her nose in irritation and said, "Only an idiot would take on such a troublesome job like the Hokage."

"That idiot Jiraiya finds it troublesome and doesn't want to become the Hokage, so he pushes it onto me instead? What does he take me for? A tool?!"

She was genuinely annoyed at Jiraiya.

If he didn't want Yuta to abolish the Hokage position, then why didn't he take on the role himself?

Why did he have to drag her into it?

If she became the Hokage, she'd be stuck in that seat while Jiraiya would go off living freely again.

It wasn't fair!

Konoha wasn't in crisis anymore, and there were plenty of people in the village capable of being the Hokage.

Why drag her back?!

Yuta nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, Jiraiya's really got it easy. Besides, with his idiot brain, he couldn't become the Hokage anyway."

Jiraiya kept talking about peace, but when Konoha collapsed, Homura and Koharu had approached him, asking him to become the Fifth Hokage.

And what did he do?

He refused!

He'd rather chase after the so-called "Son of Prophecy", placing all responsibility for the world's peace on that child instead of taking action himself.

And he still had the nerve to talk about peace?

He kept preaching about people understanding each other.

So why not become the Hokage and try to make the Five Great Villages understand each other?

What nonsense!

He let himself be tricked by a toad into believing that the future depended on some prophecy.

Jiraiya was just an idealist who could only talk big.

What good was he?

At least Naruto was different. Naruto was strong and genuinely tried to make people understand each other.

"Since everyone is here, I'll lay out my future plans."

Yuta glanced around at the Konoha ninjas, who wore varying expressions.

"I'm not going to become the Fifth Hokage. In fact, I'm abolishing the Hokage position entirely."

"From now on, if a war occurs, I'll use my own strength to put an end to it."

"The leadership positions in Konoha will be selected by me and answer directly to me."

"Oh, and one more thing—the Ninja school will stop teaching the Will of Fire. I've hated that nonsense for years!"

Silence.

Other than Tsunade and Nara Shikaku, who had already heard about this from Jiraiya, everyone else was in complete shock.

Abolish... Hokage?

The position that had been in place for over fifty years was about to disappear?

If they hadn't heard it straight from Yuta, they would've thought they were hallucinating.

"No!"

Tsunade slammed her hands on the table, her face dark.

She took a deep breath, trying to steady her emotions, then spoke as calmly as possible, "Yuta, if you plan to be the Hokage, I'll support you."

"But abolishing the Hokage position entirely? I can't accept that!"

Yuta scoffed, "Even if I wanted to be the Hokage, would I need your support?"

He had just won two wars against Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

And where had Tsunade been during those times?

She criticized Jiraiya for being absent during the Nine Tails attack, Orochimaru's defection, and the Hyuga Incident but hadn't she done the same?

When Konoha needed her, she wasn't there.

And now, after everything was settled, she suddenly returned when there was no one left to take the Hokage seat?

Right now, Konoha didn't need a Sannin or two.

If another war happens, he alone can handle it.

Tsunade looked frustrated but had to admit that Yuta might be right.

After two consecutive war victories, his prestige in the village was just as high as hers if not higher.

If Yuta really wanted to be the Hokage, he didn't need her support.

"Oh, and one more thing."

Yuta smirked, resting his chin on his hand.

"The police force recently received a complaint. Apparently, a certain legendary gambler has racked up a massive debt and fled."

"The creditors have officially filed a complaint with the police force."

"Tsunade, any comments on this?"

"..."

Tsunade's face turned beet red.

Damn those debt collectors!

How did they track her all the way to Konoha?!

It wasn't like she wasn't going to pay them back... she was just a few years behind!

The Konoha ninjas exchanged awkward glances.

So, Tsunade ran from her gambling debts?

And Jiraiya-sama got reported for peeping?

Sarutobi Hiruzen sure left behind some "fine" apprentices.
