Tsunade waved her hand. "All sit down, this time I called you all here because there is an important matter to discuss."
After the three sat down, Shikaku spoke first, "I wonder what important matter Lady Tsunade has?"
Could it be that Lady Tsunade wants to implement her personal reform measures? Every Hokage has their own unique style of governance.
Tsunade found a seat to sit down at this time and directly said, "This time, I am preparing to make Hyuga Hiashi the third advisory elder of Konoha Village."
"With the Hyuga Clan's reputation, and Hiashi's personal abilities, he is fully capable of taking the position. This is extremely beneficial for the village's stability."
"I wonder what the opinions of you all are?"
This was the reform she had carefully prepared. She wouldn't, like the Third Hokage, cling to power and not let go. Which caused the actual upper-level leadership to all be his own people, even his own classmates.
In the past few months since she took the position, the village was able to remain so stable and peaceful. It was all thanks to the joint efforts of her, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio clans, and the Uchiha Clan.
Her thoughts were simple. If someone has the ability, then let them rise up. She even planned in the future to bring more clans into the power center, to achieve true democracy.
This was also the democracy advocated by the First and Second Hokage. To resolve village affairs through dialogue and consultation, not through force.
Moreover, decisions made in this way are equivalent to decisions made by the whole village, there should be no one who would object.
Of course, if it can be successfully implemented, then even if she takes leave, the village will still be able to operate normally. These three can handle village affairs well and maintain stability.
Hyuga Hiashi, upon hearing Tsunade's words, was instantly overjoyed.
Becoming an advisory elder of the village meant entering the power center of the village. It was a symbol of status and position. Under his leadership, the Hyuga Clan would rise to another level.
Uchiha Fugaku should be supportive, right? Then with both Lady Tsunade and Uchiha Fugaku's support, this matter was set.
Just as he expected, Fugaku was stunned for a moment, then directly expressed his stance. "I support Lady Tsunade's proposal."
The Hyuga Clan, after all, is a clan with the Byakugan bloodline limit, in certain aspects even surpassing the Sharingan. So of course, they are qualified to enter.
Shikaku also expressed his support. "I also support Lady Tsunade's proposal."
He originally advocated for bringing in large clans like this. With major clans supporting the upper-level power structure, the village's stability can be maintained well.
It won't let the village fall into internal chaos. Most importantly, the one holding the greatest authority is still Lady Tsunade, and behind the scenes, Uchiha Ryosuke is enough to keep the village stable.
Tsunade was very satisfied with the statements of the two.
Shikaku's support was expected. Bringing the Hyuga Clan into the village's power center for the sake of stability adds more strength. But the Uchiha Clan's unquestioning support surprised her a little.
This clan wasn't as power-hungry as she had imagined. She turned her head to look at Hyuga Hiashi.
"Both current advisory elders have already agreed, so Hyuga Hiashi, what is your opinion?"
"Are you willing to accept this position and contribute your strength for the village's stability, peace, and prosperity?"
Hyuga Hiashi immediately stood up and said, "Lady Tsunade, I am willing to accept such a position. For the stability, peace, and prosperity of Konoha, I will offer my strength."
Tsunade was very satisfied. It seems he was indeed very self-aware.
"This time I called you all here, there is another important matter, and that is, I am preparing to take a leave of absence, for at least eight to nine months."
"During this period, the village's affairs will be left to the three of you to discuss and handle."
Hyuga Hiashi, who had just sat down and was still excited, was full of confusion. What's going on? Why is it that as soon as he came, Lady Tsunade is taking leave?
And this leave is way too long, isn't it? Could it be that she brought him into the village leadership just to help handle matters during her leave?
He couldn't help but have such suspicions.
Shikaku was also a bit surprised. Why would Lady Tsunade suddenly take leave? She had clearly already gotten used to the work rhythm of the Hokage.
From what he could tell, her body also didn't seem to have any problems.
Suddenly, he noticed that Tsunade's belly seemed a bit bigger.
In his heart, he became more and more incredulous.
'Could it be?'
A big belly means a child. Could it be she has that man's child?
'Heavens!'
That Uchiha Ryosuke guy not only conquered Tsunade but even made her pregnant. The flower of Konoha seems to have been completely conquered, no wonder Lady Tsunade wants to take leave.
'What a terrifying man...'
This matter also exceeded Fugaku's expectations. But it's nothing major, since the village is so peaceful.
Actually, whether there is Tsunade's leadership or not, it seems it could remain stable. There's basically no more war, and no other major issues.
Tsunade looked at everyone not speaking, and felt joy in her heart.
"Since there are no objections, then it's decided like this. From today onwards, village affairs will be handled through the consultation of you three."
"If there's something that cannot be decided, just let Kakashi notify me."
Kakashi is the son of White Fang, having inherited his talents. If he can be well nurtured, no doubt he could become a powerful assistant for her.
Previously, due to villagers' slander and defamation, White Fang committed suicide, a huge loss for the village.
Hyuga Hiashi was at a loss when he saw this situation. These two advisory elders aren't even asking for a reason? Forget it, he had just joined and didn't understand many things yet.
After the three left, Tsunade finally let out a sigh of relief, no one asked for the reason, which was truly great. This time she could go back and properly prepare for pregnancy.
She didn't even know if the child born would be a boy or girl.
A trace of worry suddenly appeared on her face. Giving birth is very painful, painful to the point that it made her a bit scared.
