The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the distant birdsong could be heard in the night sky.

Tsunade sat quietly on the edge of the cliff, looking at the Hokage Rock beside her, holding an empty bottle of wine in her hand, and said softly in the silent atmosphere around her:

"Grandpa, I'm going to be a Hokage."

The expression on her face was not joy, but endless confusion.

At the high-level meeting, Tsunade became the candidate for the fourth generation inexplicably.

Including the third generation Hokage and two advisory elders, major ninja clans, and many elite ninjas, they jointly recommended her to become the fourth generation, and the final decision was made by the daimyo. Although Tsunade was very reluctant and even a little repulsive, the matter seemed to have become a foregone conclusion.

Her opinion is no longer that important.

Becoming the fourth Hokage is the best choice for Konoha at present.

But Tsunade is a little confused.

She doesn't know whether she can be a good Hokage.

"Grandpa, do you think I can be a qualified Hokage?"

Tsunade is very uncertain about this question.

The war is about to start.

Konoha will declare war on the Hidden Mist Village, which means that the time for the third Ninja World War to break out completely is getting closer and closer. Becoming a Hokage during such a war also means that she has to take on greater responsibilities.

She is really under great pressure.

Looking at the central street of Konoha not far away, although it is late at night, the street is still brightly lit, and villagers are running back and forth on the street, the scene is like a busy city at noon.

"Have you heard? The Third Hokage seems to be abdicating!"

"Is it true?"

"Of course it's true, how can I lie to you? The Hokage Building has issued a notice!"

"Who will be the Fourth Hokage?"

"I saw it said on the notice is Tsunade..."

"Tsunade? Is that the Tsunade in Konoha Hospital? I heard that she seems to be the next generation Hokage appointed by the Daimyo!"

......

The street discussions were varied, but the noise did not affect Tsunade.

At this time, she was still sitting by the cliff of the Hokage Rock, talking to the first generation of the Shadow Rock with a hazy look in her eyes.

"I was looking for you but couldn't find you. It turns out you are here."

Ye Ning knew that Tsunade must be in a very complicated mood at the moment, but she had been entangled with the daimyo, Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi all day. Now she finally had the chance and walked quickly to Tsunade:

"Here, I secretly took it from my father. It's a treasure from the daimyo's mansion."

Ye Ning handed over two pots of wine and placed them next to Tsunade.

The pot was beautifully carved and even inlaid with two diamonds. Although it was dim here, it still exuded a faint golden luster. The mellow smell from the mouth of the pot was even more attractive to Tsunade.

Such precious wine was no less attractive to Tsunade than the two round and white watermelons were to Ye Ning.

Tsunade's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly snatched the wine pot, her eyes sparkling:

"As expected, you still understand me the best."

Muttering something in her mouth, Tsunade could not wait to open the cork and took a sip carefully.

Compared with her previous actions when drinking, Tsunade's actions at this moment were much gentler, for fear that the wine would spill out.

A sip of sake went into her stomach, and the fragrance in her mouth was refreshing, mellow and soft, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

Tsunade smacked her lips subconsciously, and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Delicious!"

Looking at Tsunade's appearance, Ye Ning couldn't help but feel a little funny, and sat down next to Tsunade, quietly watching Tsunade's face.

Of course he knew that Tsunade was in a bit of a bad mood at this time.

Especially in the meeting room, what she had said was publicly punished by Orochimaru in public.

With Tsunade's temperament, it would be strange if she could feel good!

"How is it, after talking to the Shodaime, do you feel better?"

Tsunade curled her lips, raised her head and took a sip of wine, and asked curiously:

"How did you know I came to talk to my grandfather?"

Tsunade felt a little strange.

Recently, it seems that Ye Ning knows more and more about her. Sometimes, she doesn't even need to say it herself, Ye Ning can quickly guess her thoughts, just like a worm in her stomach.

Not only did he know that she came to the Hokage Rock to talk to her grandfather, but he even guessed that her wine was finished...

Tsunade's heart suddenly jumped.

Strictly speaking, in the entire Naruto world, apart from those hot-blooded idiots, Tsunade's thoughts are the easiest to guess. Having dealt with Tsunade for such a long time, Ye Ning would naturally guess this:

"Such a big thing happened suddenly, and you disappeared again. I think there are only two places you would go, right?"

"One is the cemetery of Konoha; the other is this Hokage Rock."

Ye Ning pursed his lips, and his first stop was really the Konoha Cemetery.

Tsunade is about to succeed the fourth generation and is about to fulfill the dream that Nawaki once dreamed of. Ye Ning thought Tsunade would go to the Konoha Cemetery to talk to Nawaki, but she didn't expect that she would come to the Hokage Rock.

As for Tsunade's thoughts... Ye Ning also guessed it.

At this time, Tsunade had not experienced the darkness like the original work, nor had she lost confidence in Konoha, otherwise, she would not have agreed to return to Konoha so easily.

As for whether she really rejected becoming a Hokage...

Not really.

Moreover, she was still worried about whether she could be a good fourth generation.

Tsunade thought about it briefly and found that if she had not come to the Hokage Rock, she would have really gone to the Konoha Cemetery to see Nawaki. She nodded and said softly:

"That's true. Well... I didn't expect that Nawaki, who always talked about becoming a Hokage, is now lying in the Konoha Cemetery, and I, who never wanted to become a Hokage, am about to become the fourth generation."

"Ye Ning, I don't want to be a Hokage."

Under the starry sky, Tsunade's eyes were shining with a crystal luster, as warm as water, but hidden deep in her eyes was confusion and helplessness.

"No, you don't want to be Hokage."

Looking at Tsunade's puzzled face, Ye Ning considered for a moment, shook his head and smiled:

"With your personality, if you really don't want to be Hokage, you would have fled long ago when no one was paying attention to you. Why would you wait for me at Hokage Rock? Since you didn't choose to leave, but came to Hokage Rock, it proves that you have made up your mind."

"Of course, it's not easy to be Hokage. Even someone as strong as Hashirama Senju, who is strong enough to suppress an era, has to need the assistance of the second generation Hokage. It's normal for you to have concerns."
