Chapter 288 If someone is obstructing change, then deal with the person obstructing change.

In the conference room of the Hokage Building, Tsunade convened a meeting for the first time as Hokage.

Representatives from all the major clans and high-ranking officials of Konoha attended the meeting.

In the conference room, Tsunade sat at the head of the table, and next to her sat Jiraiya, the Hokage's assistant.

Tsunade looked at everyone and said.

"Alright everyone, this is the first time I'm holding a meeting as Hokage, and I'm very happy that everyone can attend."

I've gathered everyone here today to discuss a few things, the first of which is the issue of reforms in Konoha Village.

Tsunade unleashed a powerful move right from the start, emphasizing that Konoha Village must reform and integrate with the outside world.

She presented her plan and asked for everyone's opinions.

Representatives from all the major ninja clans felt there was no problem with this, since their members frequently went on missions and were naturally aware of the changes that had taken place in the outside world over the years.

Compared to the rapidly developing outside world, Konoha has indeed fallen far behind.

While everyone was still discussing, Koharu Utatane spoke first and denied it.

"No! Absolutely not! This isn't reform; it's dragging Konoha Village toward destruction!"

Good heavens, this old guy, putting aside everything else, immediately labeled the new Hokage's proposed policies as leading Konoha to its destruction.

In an instant, Tsunade's expression turned much more unpleasant.

However, Koharu Utatane didn't seem to care, and Homura Mitokado, who was standing next to her, had a similar attitude.

In their view, Tsunade was someone they had brought back. They were not only elders, but also the great contributors who helped Tsunade become Hokage. Even if Tsunade was Hokage, she should have discussed her ideas with them first.

First, after returning, they didn't come to see them but instead convened an election meeting. Now, they've come up with a reform plan that they've never even heard of before, clearly showing they don't take them seriously.

No, this is absolutely unacceptable. This behavior is outrageous. We must curb her arrogance and teach her that even if she becomes Hokage, she should consult with the two elders first.

"Oh? I wonder what your brilliant ideas are?"

Tsunade did not react on the spot, but instead asked the other party with a smile on her face and her eyes slightly narrowed.

Upon seeing this, Koharu Utatane immediately started spouting about tradition, saying that prohibiting those fancy things from entering Konoha was to protect the Konoha ninjas. She argued that if the Konoha ninjas were obsessed with those things outside, they would only end up degenerate and become rogue ninjas, and so on.

"Haha, well said, I think you make a lot of sense."

Koharu nodded, seemingly satisfied with Tsunade's attitude.

Mitokado Yan added from the side.

"Tsunade, I understand. You've just become Hokage, so it's normal that you're eager to do something for the village."

However, you've just returned from outside and aren't very familiar with the village's situation yet, so if you have any questions, you should discuss them with us first.

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right."

Tsunade was still smiling, but then her previous amiable attitude vanished, and she spoke sternly.

"I was so focused on planning for the village's future that I forgot to deal with you two old hags, didn't I!"

"Do you think I need to discuss any issues with you first? Do you think I'm some old man? Let me tell you, you'd better know your place. You're all getting on in years, and you're still thinking about this and that. Go home and enjoy your retirement."

"Tsunade! What, what do you mean by this?!"

Koharu was so angry at Tsunade's words that she almost couldn't breathe.

"What do I mean? This is what I mean. You two old geezers, you've been controlling the village's logistics and management, and do you think I don't know how much profit you've made for your own families?"

Or do you want to bring all these things to the forefront, one by one?

Will Konoha Village become

The old man might have turned a blind eye when he was alive, but I won't. Considering how much you've contributed to the village over the years, I can let it slide, but you should also know your place and be mindful of your boundaries.

Mitokado En slammed his fist on the table and shouted angrily.

"Nonsense, Tsunade! Do you think you can control everything in Konoha just because you've become Hokage? Do you think being Hokage makes you Hokage?"

"What a joke! I became Hokage. If I'm not Hokage, what am I? Wasn't I elected Hokage by everyone's votes? Tell me, am I right?"

With that, Tsunade posed the question to the representatives of all parties.

Representatives from all sides nodded in agreement with Tsunade's words.

"Alright, since we've come this far, let's have a vote."

I propose that we dissolve the existing council of elders and select representatives from each family to form a new council. Let's begin the vote now; please raise your hands in unison.

"Tsunade, you!"

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado never expected that the first thing the new Hokage, whom they had gone to great lengths to find, would do upon taking office was to eliminate them.

When he heard Tsunade say that the elders council should be disbanded and replaced by representatives from various clans, his eyes lit up.

The reorganization of the elders means that the new Hokage will delegate power to the various clans. Even if the Hokage does not have to consider the opinions of the elders, joining the elders would be of great benefit to these ninja clans.

As for Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, although they have been deeply rooted in the upper echelons of Konoha for a long time, offending these two would be detrimental to the clan.

But compared to the new Hokage, the two old guys should obviously stand on the new Hokage's side.

Soon, everyone except Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu voted in favor.

"Very well, the voting is over. I hereby declare the Council of Elders disbanded. As for the formation of a new Council of Elders, we will discuss that in the next few days."

As she spoke, Tsunade looked at Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

"Gentlemen, from today onwards, you are no longer elders of Konoha. Be mindful of your status from now on."

"you!"

"Tsunade..."

The two were furious, but Tsunade still showed them no respect whatsoever.

She thought Orochimaru said something very true: if someone is obstructing change, then get rid of the person who is obstructing change.

These two old guys are ready to be phased out by the times. First, remove them from the council of elders, and then find a time to remove them from their positions and let them retire.

As for the two families that have grown up relying on these two individuals, once these two pillars are lost, there are plenty of ways to deal with them.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic, the reform of Konoha Village..."
