(PS: The previous chapter was locked up again, and I probably won't be able to get out until tomorrow!)
boom! ! !
On a peaceful afternoon, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky above Konoha Village.

Then a figure crashed through the top of the Naruto Building and flew out.

"what"

“I will come back!!!”

After leaving behind a standard exit line, Mu Sheng disappeared into the distant sky.

In the broken-down lounge, Tsunade looked at the clothes scattered on the floor with a complicated expression.

The fight was so intense that my clothes were torn to shreds.

"What a bastard!"

The thought of being tricked into taking her body in a daze made Tsunade grit her teeth in hatred.

After cursing Maki a few times, Tsunade habitually went to the dressing room inside to change her clothes.

The moment she opened the door, Tsunade suddenly realized that she had also lost her mind.

All those previous memories were fake, so how could there possibly be my own clothes here?

But the next second, Tsunade was stunned when she saw the scene inside the dressing room.

The walk-in closet, which was about fifty or sixty square meters in size, was filled with clothes that she remembered.

"How could this happen?"

Tsunade, somewhat skeptical, took off a few pieces of clothing and put them on, only to find that they fit perfectly.

It was as if it had been custom-made to her exact measurements.

"Were those memories really fake?"

Tsunade's fingers unconsciously touched the material of her clothes; she could no longer distinguish between what was real and what was fake.

"hey-hey!"

Above the Naruto Building, above the clouds, Mu Sheng lay reclining on a soft, cotton-candy-like 'cloud', revealing a triumphant smile.

Those clothes were prepared in advance by him while Tsunade was immersed in genjutsu.

The purpose is to confuse reality with illusion.

As for using the illusion technique 'A Dream of Yellow Millet'—a pseudo-Infinite Tsukuyomi—to confuse Tsunade's memories, is that a good thing or not?

Mu Sheng stated that he did all of this to treat his illness and had absolutely no selfish motives.

Tsunade's hemophobia is caused by those painful memories, without being able to erase them.

Adding some beautiful and happy memories is the best option to combat these painful memories.

"I am a doctor with a benevolent heart, I am truly great!"

Mu Sheng was proud of his character, and then, without rushing down, he lay down on the 'cloud' made of chakra and basked in the sun.

He consumed too much Yang energy during the treatment just now, so he needs to replenish it!
While Maki was leisurely basking in the sun, Jiraiya and Shizune were still traveling hundreds of miles away, huffing and puffing.

"It should be alright, right?"

As Jiraiya sped along, he gazed in the direction of Konoha Village and muttered to himself.

Based on previous interactions with Maki, given his personality, he shouldn't do anything to Tsunade.

But for some reason, Jiraiya always felt uneasy, as if he had lost something important.

Could it be that something happened to Tsunade?

No way, I must be overthinking it!

Jiraiya consoled himself and increased his speed even further.

Several hours later, as the sun was about to set, Jiraiya finally appeared outside the gates of Konoha Village, panting heavily.

As for Jingyin and Little Pig Tuntun, they had long been left far behind by him.

An hour later, after being informed through multiple layers of bureaucracy, Jiraiya finally met the completely transformed Tsunade in the reception room on the ninth floor of the Hokage Building.

Tsunade was wearing a brand new outfit, completely different from her previous clothes.

Her complexion was rosy, and she looked radiant.

"Tsunade, are you...are you alright?"

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade with some hesitation. She had only changed her clothes; her hairstyle and everything else remained the same.

But Jiraiya felt that Tsunade, who was sitting in front of him, was a completely different person.

The air of authority he exuded was completely unlike the gambling predator he had been before.

"What can happen to me?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at Jiraiya, annoyed: "Why are you the only one here? Where's Shizune?"

"Silence is still behind, and I was a little worried that you would arrive ahead of time."

Upon hearing Tsunade's familiar tone of voice, Jiraiya's worries immediately disappeared.

"What's there to worry about? I'm one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, do you think that guy, Katsumi Kanbara, can eat me up?"

Tsunade said nonchalantly, but as soon as she said it, she realized something.

In a sense, it seems like I really was eaten by that guy.

Ironically, because of those memories that were so real they felt like they had actually happened, Tsunade couldn't bring herself to hate Maki.

This put her in a difficult position, especially regarding her former lover, Kato Dan, whom she felt had betrayed.

But if you really think about it, the memories between him and Kato Dan, when combined, only amount to a few short years.

The memories between him and that big liar, 'Kamihara Masaru,' spanned several decades.

This results in Tsunade being reminded of her memories with Dan Kato whenever she tries to recall them, large swaths of memories related to 'Kamihara Masaru' always surface.

It takes a lot of effort to find even a tiny bit of ordinary memory related to Kato Dan among a pile of wonderful and happy memories of 'Kamihara Masaru'.

In this situation, Tsunade's 'hemophobia' has no root cause.

Even her gambling addiction isn't as bad as it used to be.

Please forgive me!

Tsunade felt inexplicably melancholy. After experiencing decades in the illusory world, she could no longer go back.

"Are you really alright, Tsunade?" Jiraiya asked worriedly when he saw Tsunade's furrowed brows.

"Did Hokage Kanbara make things difficult for you?"

Tsunade snapped out of her daze, shook her head, and said, "No, that guy wouldn't dare to make things difficult for me."

As Tsunade spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and made a punching motion, saying disdainfully, "I'll show him the power of my Super Strength Fist!"

"That's good!" Seeing Tsunade's violent demeanor, Jiraiya was completely relieved: "If he dares to make things difficult for you, I will definitely..."

"How must you be?"

"I definitely will." Jiraiya wanted to say that he would definitely teach Maki a lesson, but then he thought of the other party's elusive ability.

There was a feeling that as soon as he said those words, Mu Sheng would suddenly appear behind him.

His earlier imposing manner vanished instantly, replaced by a somewhat awkward laugh: "I definitely need to have a good talk with him! Ha, hahaha!"

"cut!"

Tsunade gave him the middle finger, speechless. She admitted that Maki was very strong, but did Jiraiya have to be so afraid? He was one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, after all!
Unbeknownst to her, Tsunade had already placed herself in the role of Maki's wife, and no matter how powerful Maki was, she felt no fear.

Being looked down upon by his beloved, Jiraiya felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

I could only forcefully change the subject to salvage a little dignity: "Um, judging from your current state, is your hemophobia cured?"

Compared to how broken and devastated she was before being taken away by Maki, Tsunade is in such great shape now.

"Yes! Everything's alright now!"

As Tsunade spoke, she stretched out an arm and made a cut on it with her chakra blade, from which bright red blood immediately flowed out.

If this had happened before, Tsunade would have been too terrified to move.

At this moment, she calmly looked at the wound on her arm and began to heal it with her palm magic.

"I'm no longer afraid of blood!"

Even if Kato Dan had his internal organs ripped out again and placed in front of her, Tsunade wouldn't have much of an emotional reaction.

Kato Dan: So... love will disappear, right?

"hiss!"

Jiraiya gasped. In less than a day, Maki had cured Tsunade's mental illness of many years.

"Our Hokage is truly terrifyingly strong!"

His strength is terrifying, his medical ninjutsu is also amazing, and he has made quite a name for himself in politics.

"I feel like there's nothing he can't do. How can there be such a perfect person in the world?"

"Him? Perfect? ​​That guy's got a belly full of bad ideas, all he does is think about..."

Tsunade stopped herself from saying these words; they were not appropriate for Jiraiya to hear.

every day?

Jiraiya blinked in confusion. Didn't these two just meet today?

"What are you thinking about? Tsunade, why do I feel like you and the Hokage are so familiar?"

"Ah! Well, I heard it from someone else too. Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Tsunade quickly interrupted Jiraiya's questioning and changed the subject: "By the way, after returning this time, I don't plan to leave again."

"What!" Upon hearing this, Jiraiya indeed stopped dwelling on Tsunade's familiar way of speaking.

"Aren't you leaving?"

"Yes, Katsumi Kambara said he wants to hand over the management of the medical department to me, and I've already agreed!"

"The medical department?"

Jiraiya mumbled something, but he had no doubts about it. With Tsunade's achievements in medical ninjutsu, she was more than qualified to be the head of the medical department.

Previously, the three legendary Sannin of Konoha had all been wandering outside due to various circumstances, and now that Tsunade had suddenly returned to the village, Jiraiya was in a bit of a predicament.

Orochimaru is a rogue ninja, so there's nothing wrong with him not returning to Konoha, but he isn't!
"Jiraiya, you're not still looking for some prophetic child, are you? Why don't you come back to the village too!"

Tsunade earnestly advised that, given Konoha's current strength, Jiraiya's return or not wouldn't make much of a difference.

But after all, he is a Kage-level powerhouse who has been famous for a long time, and even in the current Konoha Village, he is at the top of the pyramid.

"Going back to the village?"

Jiraiya had never considered this question before, and found it difficult to make a decision for the moment: "Let me think about it some more!"

He didn't know what to think about; he just wanted to think about it some more.

"Don't rush, think it through before you speak! Whatever decision you make in the end, Konoha will always be your home!"

Seeing that Jiraiya was still hesitating, Tsunade didn't say anything more. This was the topic she had started to change the subject.

However, her statement gave Jiraiya a strange feeling.

It was as if she were the Hokage of Konoha.

"Come on! I'll take you for a walk around the village. A lot has changed in the village over the years, and I bet there are a lot of things you don't know."

With that, Tsunade got up and walked out, preparing to give Jiraiya a brief introduction to the changes in the village.

"Now it looks even more like it!"

As Jiraiya followed behind Tsunade, that feeling in his heart grew even stronger.

What exactly happened during the half-day they were apart?
A few days later, Jiraiya finally chose to leave.

The Hidden Leaf Village during Makikatsu's era always felt alien to him; Jiraiya could no longer integrate into it.

The times are like a high-speed train that never stops; once you get off halfway, you can never catch up again.

After the destruction of Kirigakure, the ninja world seemed to become more peaceful.

Konoha is busy digesting the legacy of Kirigakure and the Land of Water, and has no plans to launch a war for the time being.

Meanwhile, the three major ninja villages of Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure all sheathed their claws and teeth, and there was not even the slightest friction between them.

As for the other small countries and ninja villages caught between the five great nations, struggling to survive, they cowered in fear under this bizarre situation.

The entire ninja world fell silent, and no one knew how many unseen undercurrents and turbulent currents lay beneath the calm surface.

As the instigator of all this, Mu Sheng had been immersed in sparring and fighting with the two Shadows during this period.

Mei Mizukage's extraordinary and astonishing Water Release techniques!
The incredible strength of Tsunade, the Naruto!

Oh! And there's also Ringo Ameyuri, the former Hidden Mist ninja. This warlike girl with two rows of serrated teeth gave Maki a new understanding of the art of speech.

These unprecedented experiences led Mu Sheng to become completely absorbed in enlightenment.

While Mu Sheng was hiding in Konoha Village to cultivate his Dao, time was quietly slipping away.

Soon, a year had passed.

Konoha 60 years.

The Rain Country is located at the intersection of the three great nations of fire, earth, and wind. It is a country where the sun is never seen and it is shrouded in heavy rain all year round.

In Amegakure, a village whose entire area is riddled with drainage pipes, three ninja teams from other villages entered the heart of Amegakure.

Inside a mountain within Amegakure, in a vast cavernous space, reside many renowned ninjas rarely seen from the outside.

But now they have all gathered here.

The half-old man with a bald head and white hair, Tsuchikage Onoki!

A burly, dark-skinned man with explosive muscles and three gold iron rings on each of his arms, Raikage Ai!

There was also a man with short brown hair, a downturned mouth, and a bitter expression on his face—Kazekage Rasa!
And then there's Orochimaru, the cold-blooded king, who squinted his snake-like eyes and greedily eyed everyone else!
Kisame, a shark-faced man with the Samehada sword on his back;

Kakuzu, wearing a full-face mask, with eyes glowing green.

And there's Sasori hiding under the puppet, his true face obscured, and Deidara, the blond-haired guy standing behind Onoki, constantly looking around!

In a small cave, so many powerful ninjas who stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world have gathered.

If outsiders knew that these people were gathered together, they would probably suspect that the Fourth Shinobi World War was about to begin.

"Hey! We've been waiting for so long, where's your boss? Why isn't he out yet!"

In the silent cave space, the blond-haired Deidara suddenly cried out in dissatisfaction.
