Chapter 82: 082 The Third's Conspiracy Exposed, Tsunade's Fury
The truth about her brother's death was right in front of her, but Tsunade felt inexplicably nervous.
Her ample bosom heaved continuously, and she took a few deep breaths before she could barely calm herself down and open the scroll.
What caught her eye was an assessment report about Nawaki.
[Name: Nawaki (Senju Nawaki)]
[Identity: Grandson of the First Hokage.]
[Talent: Nothing outstanding.]
[Personality: Sunny and cheerful, with great charisma and appeal.]
Seeing this passage, Tsunade thought that the village's higher-ups' evaluation of her brother was quite accurate.
Although Nawaki was the grandson of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, he didn't show any particularly powerful talent. As a ninja, he could only be considered average.
The main thing was that he had a cheerful personality and was always willing to help others, so he was very popular in the village.
Tsunade continued to read, and what caught her eye was shocking.
[Threat Level: S]
[Summary: As the grandson of the First Hokage, Nawaki is the direct heir of the Senju clan. After Hashirama and Tobirama successively became Hokage, Nawaki, as a member of the Senju clan and a direct descendant of the First and Second, is likely to pose a great threat to the position of Hokage.]
[When following him, Anbu members have heard Nawaki say more than once that he wants to become Hokage in the future.]
[More importantly, he does have the capital to do so.]
[If Nawaki becomes Hokage in the future, he will inevitably reunite those Senju clansmen who have given up their surnames, and then all the efforts of the Third Hokage will be in vain.]
And at the end of the scroll was a line of black text, filled with chills.
[Suggestion: Eliminate him.]
As Tsunade finished reading the scroll, Night Star heard the diary's notification sound.
[Ding! Goal completed.]
[Congratulations on obtaining the reward: Chakra amount slightly increased.]
[Congratulations on obtaining the reward: Wood Release.]
Night Star ignored the diary's notification sound and just looked at the silent Tsunade, saying lightly,
"This is the truth about Nawaki's death. What do you think?"
"What do I think?"
Tsunade slowly raised her head, her silver teeth had already bitten through her red lips, leaving a trail of blood.
"Bang!"
She punched the wall beside her, causing a long crack to appear and making a deafening sound.
Tsunade gritted her teeth and said hatefully,
"A young child yearning to become Hokage, is this also a crime!?"
"No, if that was all, no one would care."
Night Star shook his head and said word by word,
"Nawaki was eliminated because he really had the possibility of becoming Hokage."
"Why?"
Tsunade murmured with grief and resentment in her eyes,
"Why would sensei do such a thing? He is already Hokage. Even if Nawaki grows up, it will be when he is about to retire. What threat can Nawaki pose to him?"
"Who knows."
Night Star shrugged nonchalantly.
"With your mind, you should be able to figure out why Hiruzen Sarutobi eliminated Nawaki and the Senju clan."
"If you don't understand, it's just that you choose to turn a blind eye."
"I can't force you to open your eyes, just like no one can wake up a person who pretends to be asleep."
After saying these words, Night Star left on his own and returned to his home in the clan's territory.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Pakura approaching in a loose robe.
"Are you injured?"
"Something happened in the village. I just went to watch the commotion. Of course I'm not injured."
Night Star replied casually. Seeing the robe Pakura was wearing, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Are you wearing... my clothes?"
Pakura showed an embarrassed smile and quickly explained,
"Well... my clothes are all dirty, and there aren't any suitable ones for the time being, so..."
"It doesn't matter. Wear them if you want."
Night Star obviously wouldn't fuss over such things. He said nonchalantly and entered the master bedroom.
The information about Nawaki's death that he gave to Tsunade was only a tiny part of tonight's harvest.
To be honest, the number of scandals the village's higher-ups had committed over the years surprised even him.
And as a transmigrator who knew the development of the plot, coupled with the information gathered tonight, Night Star naturally knew why Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to get rid of Nawaki, and why he made the Senju clan give up their surname.
[Hiruzen Sarutobi's ambition seems to be even greater than I imagined.]
[Just being Hokage himself is far from satisfying his appetite.]
[What Hiruzen Sarutobi really wants is for the Sarutobi clan to be like the Senju, with two Hokage appearing in the clan, or even surpassing the Senju, and keeping the position of Hokage forever in the hands of the Sarutobi clan.]
[There are two pieces of evidence.]
[The first is Nawaki's death and the destruction of the Senju clan.]
[With the prestige of the First and Second Hokage, if the Senju clan is not completely eliminated first, in the future, every time a new Hokage is elected, everyone's first thought will be biased towards the ninja from the Senju clan.]
[This invisibly hinders Hiruzen Sarutobi's plan.]
[The second piece of evidence.]
[The students under Asuma are Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Choji Akimichi, the future heirs of the Ino-Shika-Cho three clans.]
[Whether he is suitable to teach these three students is another matter.]
[The key is that the composition of the team led by Kurenai Yuhi is a bit too outrageous.]
Kurenai, who had just returned home, saw her name appear in the diary and a big question mark appeared on her head.
Wasn't it talking about the Third Hokage's conspiracy?
Why was she suddenly involved?
[Kurenai Yuhi is just a newly promoted Jonin.]
Seeing this sentence, Kurenai's heart was filled with joy.
It turned out that in the future, she could actually become a Jonin. That was the same level as her father, Shinku Yuhi.
Before she could smile, she saw the content in the diary take a turn.
[She's already so weak, and look at the identities of the students she teaches.]
[Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan.]
[Shino, the heir of the Aburame clan.]
[Kiba, the son of the Inuzuka clan's head.]
The three identities written by Night Star made the female ninjas who were watching the diary can't help but agree with his thoughts.
Jonin did have the qualifications to guide newly graduated students.
The key was that Kurenai, a newly promoted Jonin, paired with these three students who had prominent backgrounds and were of great importance in the village, was indeed not a good match.
[Moreover, Hinata and Kiba are both close-combat ninjas, and Shino uses the Aburame clan's secret insect techniques.]
[Do these three people's fighting styles have anything to do with Kurenai, who is proficient in genjutsu?]
[The only explanation is nepotism.]
[Asuma continues to connect with the Ino-Shika-Cho three clans.]
[Kurenai, on the other hand, relies on nepotism to become Shino, Kiba, and Hinata's teacher.]
[In this way, when Asuma runs for Hokage, he will get the support of all the noble clans: Aburame, Inuzuka, Ino-Shika-Cho, and Hyuga.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi has indeed arranged it well.]
[It's a pity that before Asuma could accumulate enough qualifications and prestige, he was killed by Orochimaru.]
Seeing this passage, the female ninjas were all stunned.
The ninjutsu professor, known as the strongest Hokage of all time, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was actually killed by his own disciple, Orochimaru, in the end?
And Kurenai's shock was different from everyone else's.
"Nepotism?"
She noticed this sensitive word and murmured in disbelief,
"I'm going to marry Asuma?"
She thought of Asuma's childish behavior in the village, and Night Star's face appeared in her mind. After comparing the two, she murmured,
"I'd rather die than marry that Asuma!"
