NABC Chapter 53 This is a life-or-death struggle!
Chapter 53 This is a life-or-death struggle!
As time passed, the atmosphere of preparation in Konoha grew stronger.
The clash between Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Senju clan occurred quickly and ended just as abruptly, ultimately a restrained conflict.
After a series of probing moves, things returned to calm.
In general.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not fail; he re-established his authority and showed everyone that Konoha's sky would not fall!
Incidentally, he also gained control of the battlefield situation in the Land of Rain, facilitated the smooth progress of his strategy, and forcefully pushed forward medical reforms, thus salvaging some of his reputation and prestige.
The Senju family did express their dissatisfaction, but he suppressed it.
This also sends a signal to other families in the village.
Even though the monkey is not old, he can still make his own judgments!
Tsunade didn't lose out either; she gained both substance and prestige.
Konoha Hospital was divided into the hospital, the medical association, and the pharmacy, but the three parties remained united under the leadership of the Senju clan.
The 'split' hospital actually has more power!
Yushu served as the president of the medical association and the honorary vice president of the hospital. He transferred some doctors and recruited doctors from the village to jointly establish the medical association, which supervised and reviewed the hospital's financial operations and assessed and determined the level of medical accidents.
Mito Uzumaki paid a visit, requesting that Akimichi Tokifu resume his work, establish a pharmacy, and manage the buying and selling of medicines and pharmaceuticals, as well as other related medical work.
The Senju clan sent a scroll to the Hokage's office, nominating Akimichi Torifu as the fourth advisor elder.
Akimichi Torifu is not only the number one figure in the Ino-Shika-Cho family alliance, but also the fifth member of the second generation of the guard.
I didn't want to agree at first, but Senju offered too much.
This series of actions also helped the Thousand Hands family regain face.
According to the law of conservation of 'face' and 'substance', the situation of both parties has been taken into account.
So...
Naturally, some people got anxious.
The two sides clashed, and a series of dazzling maneuvers infuriated Koharu Utatane. Mitokado Homura had already rushed to the front lines and didn't have time to die of anger.
The medical and logistics departments have lost their power.
At the very beginning of the medical reform, Tsunade, along with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, seized control of the pharmaceutical administration with a single slap and also took away the supervisory power of the logistics department.
Xiaochun, who was switching dorms, couldn't imagine what would happen next!
However, the Utatane family was ultimately small, and a corrupt official named Utatane no Natsumi was born.
In this battle of wits, they weren't even spectators; they were merely dishes on the table.
Of course, because this reform opportunity was so good, a small incident occurred.
The Uchiha clan couldn't wait to make their appearance either!
"The Hokage, is he born with a special destiny?"
Since I, the Uchiha, can't reach this high-ranking position, I should at least get involved in the new department.
"Youshu, as you know, the family strongly opposes your opening of the Ant Rental Shop." Elder Chu Huo used clumsy rhetoric to try and convince the family, "Thanks to me, I argued my case and successfully persuaded them to agree to the opening."
"Sometimes I think, when it comes to cultivating a family's heritage, how much is too much?"
"I have no interest in summoning techniques, nor do I care about ninjutsu. My happiest times were when you were researching the Bloodstain Disease, and you and Mikoto were learning medicine together... Time flies..."
“Elder, you’re right.” Yuuki’s eyes welled up with tears, as if he was moved. “In that case, I’ll send a retirement application to Lady Tsunade right now. Let’s go to the capital of the Land of Fire to retire, and I’ll take care of you in your old age.”
Elder Chu Huo glared and puffed out his beard, "I'm not dead yet! I'll live at least another twenty years! Besides, there's no need for me to retire."
He muttered to himself, "How come the old ghost's rhetoric is completely useless!"
Thinking this, he resumed his shrewd but clueless expression and asked, "Enough of the small talk, what are your thoughts on the Senju and Sarutobi incident?"
Yuuki pondered for a moment, deciding not to reveal too much inside information, and said firmly, "I choose Lady Tsunade."
Stop thinking, Elder Chu Huo, just go all in with me, you're guaranteed to win!
Upon hearing You Shu's words, Elder Chu Huo nodded silently without asking why.
Choosing the Thousand Hands perfectly aligned with the ideas of those old guys.
Tomishiro is too naive; he actually plans to lead his team to join Hiruzen Sarutobi's command!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was forty years old and had been in power for thirteen years.
The families under his command, such as Sarutobi, Utatane, Mitomon, and the Ino-Shika-Cho clans, had long since divided up all the positions.
The Uchiha arrived, but couldn't even get a sip of hot water!
Why bother?
Moreover, how many more years can Hiruzen Sarutobi remain Hokage?
Konoha is teeming with talent; there are countless individuals with the potential to become Hokage!
That old monkey, can he keep working until he's sixty or seventy before retiring?
The position of Fourth Hokage will eventually fall to Tsunade or Nawaki.
Go all in with a jackpot, you're guaranteed to make a profit!
Elder Chu Huo tentatively asked, "Yushu, is the Medical Association still short of people? Our clan has quite a few medical ninjas who can help at any time!"
Yuuki's voice was full of surprise, "Really? The family is willing to send people to help?"
He had long wanted to drag his family into this mess, as it would give him more room to maneuver.
Then he became troubled again and said sincerely, "Elder, the establishment of this medical association is a power struggle, and it will lead to a confrontation with the medical department headed by Elder Koharu Utatane."
"This isn't a warm dinner party; it's a struggle!"
"If anything goes wrong, those who get involved may end up in jail."
Elder Chu Huo was satisfied with You Shu's growth, but dissatisfied with Tian Zhen's words.
This is a life-or-death struggle!
In the struggle for power, there are no wrongful convictions, only winners who take all!
"Don't worry, since everyone has the will to step into the conflict, they've already prepared for death!"
Yuuki obtained management control of several medical ninjas, a considerable sum of money, and some important intelligence outposts.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yuuki inquired about Mikoto's whereabouts, while Hatsuhiko, his beard bristling and eyes wide, launched into a passionate rant.
The farewell ceremony for the grandfather and filial son has ended.
Yuuki returned to the research lab, where countless butterflies were perched on the ceiling, reflecting a kaleidoscope of colors—a nightmare for anyone with trypophobia!
After this period of cultivation, the number of perfume butterflies has successfully exceeded one hundred.
As Yuuki predicted, the clone swapping ability is affected by the number of butterflies.
With the blessing of one hundred perfume butterflies, the chakra required for a single clone swap was reduced to about 0.01 calories.
Regarding the distance, Yuuki has tried a displacement up to one kilometer away, and the amount of chakra consumed hardly changed. It's uncertain how far it will go.
However, he speculated that when a certain replacement distance threshold is reached, the consumption will definitely increase.
Nothing is free in this world.
Even without consuming chakra, it may utilize other forms of energy.
Yuuki used his clone technique to practice clone switching while reviewing the information provided by his family.
There were many intelligence scrolls, but the one that attracted his attention the most was the information about the Uzumaki family.
As he opened the intelligence scroll and flipped through the pages, Yuuki's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
"How exactly did the Uzumaki clan perish?"
According to my memories from my previous life, the destruction of the Uzumaki family was just a background story, part of the established plot!
But that's not the case in reality.
Those who create comics only need to consider paper and pen, but Yuuki, being the Hokage, has many more things to think about.
