The atmosphere in the Hokage's office was tense. Utatane Koharu, who initially intended to say a few words to support the Third Hokage, chose to remain silent. She realized it was better to stay out of it—especially since the discussion involved sensitive topics like the Anbu and Konoha's medical system. Any involvement could lead to more conflicts and, inevitably, more headaches for h...

Shimura Danzo's voice was filled with fury as he confronted the Third Hokage.
The Third Hokage, already prepared for this outburst, replied calmly, trying to defuse the tension.

Either the current Hokage passed away, or the Hokage lost the people's trust and was forced to step down.
At that point, Tsunade becoming Hokage would be a natural and accepted transition.

2024-11-30 10:45:33 +0000 UTC View PostGiving the Third Hokage a look of disdain, Mitokado Hamura decisively stood up and left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to warn the Third Hokage:
"You should keep an eye on Koharu. As for Danzo... forget it. I won't see him. I don't want anything to do with them anymore."
He had no intention of dealing with Koharu, let alone Shimura Danzo, and he valued his peace of mind. 2024-11-30 10:45:22 +0000 UTC View Post
The sudden announcement of a Hokage candidate was shocking enough. The fact that the candidate was Tsunade, someone often at odds with Koharu, was even more infuriating. Koharu simply couldn't accept it.
