Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 172 Black Zetsu: No one understands Uchiha better than me!

On the outskirts of Konoha, Obito ran with his head down all the way until it got dark. He then stopped tiredly and punched and kicked a tree.

"It's no use! It's no use!"

"You're so useless!"

He kicked a tree frantically, his face full of anger and hatred.

He did not notice the fluctuation of chakra, and at the same time he understood Nohara Lin's busyness, but he hated his own incompetence more.

Obito's sobbing voice echoed in the woods.

Just then, a voice sounded.

"Young man, why are you crying?"

"what!!"

Obito was startled and jumped to the side to look at the source of the sound. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing clearly.

An old lady.

He was speechless and asked with concern: "Old woman, what are you doing outside so late at night? It would be very dangerous if you fall. Let me take you back to the village!"

"Haha, don't look at me as old, I'm still in good health. I fetch water and firewood all by myself, and never bother you young people!"

The old woman smiled while leaning on her cane.

Behind her, she was indeed carrying a pile of firewood.

Obito was surprised, and then he admired her: "I wish I were as strong as you!"

"There's no such thing as being strong, it's just being alive."

The old woman smiled.

She stopped and looked at Obito: "You haven't told me why you're crying. You look strong and kind. You must have encountered a difficult situation!"

"My friend graduated a few years ago, but my grades were too bad and I couldn't graduate early. Now, it feels more and more distant..."

Obito didn't know how, but he just blurted out what was in his heart naturally.

The old woman listened quietly.

After listening to it, she laughed playfully: "Hahaha——"

"You, what are you laughing at?"

"I remembered the past. Children in love are always clumsy. My former partner was the same."

Her tone was full of memories and sighs, "Those were the beautiful pasts. Thinking back on them, they give me endless motivation."

"Yeah!"

Obito nodded repeatedly to show his agreement, "Every time I think of her, I feel that the fatigue in my body is swept away and I am full of energy!"

"That's it, isn't it? You like her and care about her, and she may just be too busy and has her own career pursuits, which is normal."

The old woman laughed.

Obito was stunned for a moment, then said: "Then what should I do?"

"Work harder and be better! In fact, the fact that there has been a period of time without in-depth contact is also your opportunity. When you show your changes and progress, she will definitely pay attention to you."

The old woman's tone was full of encouragement.

After hearing this, Obito smiled and all the gloom disappeared: "Thank you, mother-in-law, I understand!"

"Nothing, just a little older than you, and has been through these things."

The old woman laughed.

Then she walked slowly to the other side of the village.

"Let me take you back!"

"no, I'm fine……"

"It's okay. I have to run and exercise anyway."

Obito walked her all the way back.

When he got home, he waved goodbye happily.

The old lady forced him to drink water and eat before sending him away. Obito left the cabin with an unconscious smile on his face.

The old lady reminded him of his grandmother.

Just as gentle and kind.

He chuckled and ran towards his home.

After he left, a dark shadow emerged from the old lady's body and quickly disappeared, while the old woman looked around in confusion.

She scratched her head, confused for a moment.

but.

A moment later, a torrent of white flesh engulfed her.

There was no time to scream.

Her chakra was robbed, and a moment later, White Zetsu took on her appearance.

Black Zetsu merged into it and sealed her away.

"I didn't realize you were so good at making up stories."

Bai Zetsu chuckled.

Black Zetsu didn't bother to pay attention and said, "Next, your task is to act, care about him, take care of him, and chat with him."

"It's that simple?"

"Yes. This child is kind and simple-minded. When he encounters misfortune, he tends to go to the other extreme. After opening his eyes, his abilities will be stronger than those of ordinary people."

Black Zetsu chuckled softly.

He knew the Uchiha clan very well and could tell which one was a good candidate at a glance.

Bai Zetsu disagreed: "What about the other one called Shisui?"

"He is too smart. Smart people are hard to control."

……

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Tsunade looked at the information scroll in her hand with a serious expression -

The above describes the situation in detail.

"Lu Jiu, look..."

It happened that Shikaku was there, so Tsunade handed it to him.

Since the end of the war, Shikaku was officially promoted by Tsunade and officially took up the position of leader of the Jonin squad.

This position allows one to directly participate in the meeting to select the next Hokage and put forward one's own candidate recommendations at the meeting, which means the power is quite great.

In the past, it was always held by the Nara clan.

but.

The Third Hokage was in good health. Previously this position was more symbolic, but now it is different.

To some extent, Nara Shikaku is equivalent to Tsunade's military advisor and deputy, and has more real power in the village than the three advisors.

He read it carefully, and then his expression became a little serious.

"It seems that Hiruko's experiment killed quite a few bloodline limit ninjas. The memories of these survivors are indeed helpful to us."

"As for Crystal Escape..."

Lu Jiu thought for a moment and said, "I have never heard of Jing Dun, but since Bei Liu called them to be captured, it must be true."

A person who inherits a bloodline limit is worth winning over no matter what.

Tsunade nodded.

She is also in favor of helping Asami, while also helping those who were rescued.

but.

The benefits and advantages still have to be listed out so that you can explain to both superiors and subordinates.

After putting it aside, she got down to business.

"Kyohiko mentioned that this matter might be related to Danzo. In your opinion, can we make use of this information?"

Dealing with Danzo is their top priority right now.

Hokage attacked the ninjas of Konoha, and if they could tie him up with Danzo, they could use that against Danzo.

Shikaku shook his head: "It's difficult."

Afterwards, he added his own thoughts.

"It might be difficult to use it to defeat those people's support for Danzo."

As the head of the Nara clan who often dealt with nobles, he knew the nobles' ways too well.

In essence, this is still a struggle for power.

Some right and wrong, human life, are not a big deal to the nobles above, as they have nothing to do with them anyway.

Tsunade sighed softly.

Why doesn't she know?

"However, when the time is right, we can use them together to deal with Danzo, and the effect will be better."

opportunity……

Nature refers to the present Water Kingdom.

The situation in the Water Kingdom is now tense. The two tribes left their homes and sought refuge in Kyoto, and at the same time officially became guardian ninja.

There is no essential difference between the guardian ninjas of the two countries. In fact, Danzo's power is even greater.

He can recruit his own troops and secretly build up his power.

The current situation of the Water Kingdom is enough to make people alert, but at present, it is still a little short of the mark.

……

Half a day later, at the Hokage's house.

Tsunade looked at the pile of information with a hint of shock in her eyes.

So much information.

It is conceivable that Beiluohu tried countless plans and experiments to develop the "Ghost Bud Luo". This is data and information accumulated from human lives.

Bloody and heavy.

"All his research?"

"It should be. I haven't seen it yet. The situation was special at the time, so I had to seal them all in a hurry."

Jingyan answered.

Tsunade nodded and paced back and forth with the remaining sealing scrolls.

Only a part of the information has been unlocked, and more information is in the sealed scroll. Just by listening to Jingyan's description, she can imagine how complicated the information is.

Ghost Bud Luo.

Tsunade pondered for a long time and said: "This kind of terrible forbidden technique should not be preserved in the world. Bring them back..."

She looked at Jingyan.

"You don't want someone to devour Ye Cang's bloodline limit, do you?"

"no need."

Jingyan shook his head and explained, "The process of studying forbidden techniques requires a variety of knowledge, and there may be a lot of knowledge that will be helpful in the development of the rest of our ninjutsu."

Tsunade thought about it and nodded slightly.

That's the truth!

Technology itself may have many problems, but the research process contains tremendous wealth.

In the past, her second grandfather studied forbidden techniques, and a lot of information was preserved and sealed. His intentions and purposes should be similar to Jingyan's ideas.

just.

Even so, she still needs to be cautious about Gui Yaluo.

"Let me screen them first to see what can't be used for ordinary research."

Tsunade said, sighing softly, "It is better to keep as much useful knowledge as possible. This is the knowledge accumulated by human lives."

"Ah."

Jingyan nodded.

There were only two people in the room. Tsunade looked at Jingyan and was about to say a few caring words, but she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

In her memory, Jingyan still looked the same as when she met him that year.

Seven or eight years old, smart but immature.

but.

Today, after a busy period, the two of them were together in private for a rare time, and she realized that the little boy had grown taller and older without her noticing.

Although I am only as old as Rope Tree, but...

Compared to Nawaki, Kyohiko is much more mature and powerful, and Tsunade basically doesn't need to worry about him.

Ok?
correct!

She suddenly smiled and said, "Jingyan."

"Ok?"

Jingyan was sorting books and sealed scrolls.

result.

He turned his head immediately when he heard Tsunade yell.

Tsunade smiled and said, "I don't really want to go back to work overtime today, let's go out for a drink."

"Why did you suddenly go out to drink? I'm not old enough to drink yet."

Jingyan arranged the books and put labels on them.

Tsunade said, "I'm in a good mood and just want to go out for a drink. Just tell me if you want to come with me. By the way, let's celebrate Jiraiya!"

"Jiraiya-sensei?"

Jingyan recalled.

Didn't Jiraiya go to the north to help monitor the direction of the Land of Earth, and patrol and travel there as well?

The latter was proposed by Jiraiya.

Although Jiraiya has changed a lot now, and he feels that the prediction of the Great Toad Sage is a bit nonsense, he still wants to give it a try.

Sometimes, it is all kinds of experiences that make you who you are in the future. It's good to let Jiraiya travel around, since that guy can't just stay idle in the village anyway.

Tsunade nodded, and then smiled and said, "Yes, but you don't know yet? Your teacher Jiraiya has published a book."

"Ok?"

Jingyan's eyes lit up.

Tsunade lifted it up with an excited look on her face.

"Although that guy was very secretive and didn't say what he wrote, Shikaku told me that he published a book and it's very popular. The theater is still open now, so why don't we go and have a look?"

"alright."

Jingyan thought about it and was indeed quite curious.

According to the original trajectory, after the end of the three wars, Jiraiya first wrote a book called "The Legend of the Ninja", and then embarked on the road of no return of the intimate series.

I don't know which one was published.

……

There is a huge crowd of people on Mingcha Street.

In the previous war, Konoha showed its powerful strength. Thanks to this, the number of businessmen and wealthy people coming to Konoha for commissions increased significantly compared to before the war.

even.

More and more nobles from Kyoto came to Konoha for sightseeing.

All the way to the theater, I saw a lot of people at the theater door. They circled three times inside and three times outside, but couldn't get in at all.

Tsunade tried many times from outside but failed to get in. Jingyan looked around and then instantly reached the top.

"Intimate Paradise".

Knew it!
Jingyan chuckled.

There's nothing wrong with praising a work like "Genji Ninden" in private, but in terms of commercial value, the intimate series is definitely stronger.

He was laughing when Tsunade came over to him.

"How about it?"

Under the light, the quiet scenery is eye-catching.

Tsunade glanced at it, then laughed and scolded: "What are you looking at, you little pervert?"

She sat up, then narrowed her eyes, gradually revealing a hint of anger, and cursed in a low voice: "Jiraiya, you idiot, wrote something like this, no wonder you dare not say it!"

"The teacher only has imagination in this area."

Kyohiko commented.

Tsunade nodded in agreement.

Jiraiya is a guy who seems quite serious when he is serious, but he is really hard to trust when it comes to literature.

She pouted.

"Let's go eat!"

I was originally planning to buy one, but now...

Forget it.

She turned around, and then her eyes were as fierce as a hawk.

“You can’t buy it!”

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in that kind of thing."

As for the Emperor's uncle, he had so many works in his previous life, which one would not surpass his current works?

Well, I can give the teacher some inspiration when I look back.

for example--

Genin Abin, ninja teacher Bai Jie...

Jingyan thought to himself.

"Let's go."

Tsunade smiled.

She jumped down and walked in front, but she didn't go to places like the pub, but instead headed towards home.

After a long time, Tsunade brought him outside his home.

"go in."

Jingyan was stunned outside.

inside……

Are Yuhi Kurenai and Shizune both here?
He stepped inside, and soon after, a shower of scattered colorful flowers floated over.

"Happy birthday."

"Hey, everyone is busy. The teacher only mentioned that today is your birthday in the evening, so we made two paper flowers on the spur of the moment, but there is no cake."

Yuhi Kurenai holds the props.

"It's nothing. I'm used to it. Besides, doesn't a birthday mean that I'm one year older?"

Jingyan smiled and kicked the paper flowers.

Tsunade punched down, but didn't use much force.

After a lot of noise, everyone sat down, and Kurenai Yuhi regretted that Kakashi and the others were not there.

Jingyan responded while sighing——

He did forget his birthday.

Before I knew it, it’s been almost four years!
"Make a wish."

"It's very simple. I hope everyone will get better and better..."
