I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"elder sister……"

Chiaki tried her best to stop Tsunade, but Tsunade's rank was undeniable; once she got stubborn, nothing could sway her.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: You Actually Scolded Me

Tsunade stared intently at Danzo, waiting for his answer.

"I'll say it again! Get out of here!"

Danzo remained expressionless, his entire face taut like a sheet of leather. "Tsunade, this isn't Konoha. You can't run wild here!"

"Haha, that's really interesting."

Hanzo of the Salamander laughed as he watched the infighting in Konoha. "Well then, Lord Danzo, I suddenly have a brilliant idea."

"You decide what to do, and based on your decision, I'll respond to whether you accept your conditions, okay?"

There is no doubt that Hanzo the Salamander was a ruthless and powerful figure, and Danzo was well aware of this as well.

In response to Hanzo's answer, Danzo's long, smelly face broke into a smile.

He waved his hand, and a Root ninja immediately appeared in front of the scroll displaying the image.

The ninja picked up the scroll, and with one hand forming a hand seal, a red signal appeared at the end of the scroll where the image was projected.

The moment he saw the red signal, the Root ninja who controlled the parasitic insects coldly clasped his hands together and silently chanted a prayer.

"Secret technique! The technique of parasitizing worms!"

As the Root ninjas moved, a large number of parasitic insects that had been swarming around the poor people in the sky immediately swooped down on them, frantically tearing at and devouring their bodies.

"Ahhh-"

The poor people scattered in terror, frantically swatting away the parasites on their bodies.

These parasitic insects are of a very high level; even if they try their best to swat them, they can only kill a few.

Even more terrifying is that once the poor people swatted the parasites off their bodies, the corpses of those parasites would attract even more parasites, causing them even more pain.

The poor people went mad, desperate to escape, to break free from this circle surrounded by parasites.

However, under the control of the Root ninjas, they were unable to escape the encirclement.

What's most hateful is that these Root ninjas never attack the poor. Even killing them with a single blow would be better than being torn apart by countless insects.

The Root ninjas simply used various ninjutsu to push the poor people back into the encirclement, forcing them to endure the bites of the parasitic insects with resentment.

Screams, escapes, pleas for mercy—the Root ninjas coldly watched it all, and the scroll's imagery faithfully recorded it all.

This was not a massacre; it was a simple act of torture to satisfy the perpetrator's inner desires!

"unacceptable!"

Tsunade suddenly erupted, her eyes bloodshot, "You actually dared to lay a hand on me! How could you do this!"

She lunged at Danzo, trying to grab his clothes.

swish swish

A large number of roots immediately blocked Danzo's path, revealing their weapons to Tsunade.

"Go away!"

Tsunade's eyes reddened, and she was about to make a move when Jiraiya suddenly appeared in front of her and took her fist head-on.

Snapped

Jiraiya, who was normally unable to withstand even a single attack from Tsunade, easily caught Tsunade's fist this time and then pressed it down with his other hand.

"Jiraiya, even you're going to stop me?!"

Tsunade glared at Jiraiya, but Jiraiya immediately rebuked her, saying, "Stop messing around, Tsunade!"

Jiraiya's face was extremely grim. He could understand Danzo's decision and actions, but he could not accept such a brutal act.

He will definitely explain this to Hiruzen Sarutobi after he returns to Konoha, but now is not the time!

We absolutely cannot let Hanzo the Salamander see Konoha's internal strife become a laughing stock!

"Are you mean to me?"

Tsunade stared at Jiraiya in disbelief. "You stopped me, fine, but you even yelled at me!?"

The next moment, Chiaki appeared behind Tsunade and reached out to hug her waist.

"Sister! Calm down! We're in Amegakure now!"

"The important thing now is to save lives, not to fight amongst ourselves!"

Jiraiya ignored Tsunade, turning his head to look seriously at Hanzo of the Salamander, who was all smiles. "Lord Hanzo, we have overstepped our bounds this time. Please excuse us for taking our leave!"

"Go ahead, go ahead, I really watched a good show."

Hanzo the Salamander clapped his hands and smiled, "First of all, I want to thank the three of you for saving the poor people of my Rain Village. You three are truly kind-hearted."

"Then we'll take our leave. Excuse me."

Jiraiya held Tsunade back, then nodded at Chiaki, "Let's go!"

"Sister, let's go!"

Chiaki, holding Tsunade's waist, and Jiraiya forcibly carried away the still struggling Tsunade.

The three disappeared from the leader's tower and rushed towards the slums where a large amount of chakra was erupting.

Meanwhile, Hanzo and Danzo, sitting atop the leader's tower, quietly watched the scene outside the window.

Tsunade punched Jiraiya, who had no chance to resist, sending him flying. Jiraiya wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled bitterly, and said a few soft words.

Urged on by Qianqiu, the three of them moved quickly.

"Wow, that's really amazing."

Hanzo withdrew his gaze and clicked his tongue in admiration as he spoke to Danzo.

"how?"

Danzo opened his crimson eyes. He was furious that Tsunade had humiliated him.

"What do you mean by that, Lord Hanzo?"

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just think that Jiraiya is really unfathomable."

Hanzo the Salamander sighed, "In a few years, he'll probably reach the level of Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"Maybe the next Hokage will be Jiraiya."

"The Hokage is an internal matter of Konoha. It would be best if Lord Hanzo didn't interfere too much."

Danzo reacted calmly, completely unaffected by Hanzo's words.

This guy is a real monster. He speaks very sincerely, but every word he says is laced with provocation. You can't trust a single punctuation mark.

"Sorry, sorry, I was just expressing my feelings."

With a faint smile, Hanzo of the Salamander said to Danzo with great admiration, "I had forgotten that the one with the best chance of becoming the next Hokage should be Lord Danzo."

"Such methods are truly breathtaking!"

"Fortunately, Amegakure and Konoha are allies now, otherwise I don't know how Amegakure would be able to contend with Konoha, which is led by Lord Danzo."

See people talking, see ghosts talking.

Hanzo of the Salamander was truly unparalleled in his ability to sow discord; with just a few words, he propelled Danzo to the position of leader of Konoha.

Danzo raised an eyebrow at Hanzo the Salamander and extended his hand to him.

"I think we have reached a consensus. Now, please continue to guide us as we work together to stop the combined forces of the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning."

"Huh? When did I say I agreed to this condition?"

Hanzo of the Salamander looked at Danzo with surprise. Danzo chuckled and replied, "Of course, that was before I became the leader of Konoha. Didn't Lord Hanzo agree the moment I gave the order to act?"

"It seems the next Hokage will be a tough opponent, Lord Danzo."

Hanzo of the Salamander also stood up with a smile, shook Danzo's hand, and the two looked at each other meaningfully at the same time: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Chapter Ninety-Nine: The World Is Wrong

"Jiraiya, let me tell you, if you try to stop me again, you'll never get close to me again!"

As Tsunade sped off, she glared fiercely at Jiraiya and yelled, "You've gotten quite the skills, huh? Catched my attack with one hand? Impressive, huh?"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, I was wrong..."

Jiraiya apologized to Tsunade with a bitter face. He knew that Tsunade was just saying things in anger, but what could he do?

He likes Tsunade, so he has to fawn over her; there's no other way.

"Sister, we really shouldn't have started fighting amongst ourselves in that situation..."

Chiaki whispered, and Tsunade glared at her. "I know, so what?"

"If it were you, wouldn't you be angry?"

"gas."

Chiaki answered truthfully. Seeing the scene of brutal killing, she was also very angry and wanted to explode.

"That settles it, doesn't it? He's spoiled rotten!"

Tsunade exuded an extraordinary air of dominance, "I'd like to see how that damned dog will complain about me when we get back to Konoha! Do you think this old man will tolerate him?"

"Hmm... I can't say for sure..."

Chiaki shook her head helplessly. She was starting to come to her senses. Why didn't Jiraiya stop Danzo?

Because Danzo's actions were relatively correct, and under such "correct" actions, no matter how despicable the means, they would be tolerated.

"Alright, stop chatting, hurry up and save them!"

Jiraiya smoothed things over, squinting as he ran quickly, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the thoughtful Chiaki and the ever-indignant Tsunade, before letting out a soft sigh.

Compared to Tsunade, Chiaki is far more knowledgeable. She has an extremely keen political sense and an exceptionally high level of foresight, as if she can predict the future.
