Naruto: After Unifying the Shinobi World, I Invaded the Parallel Shinobi World

White Zetsu emerged from the ground and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Kisame looked at Itachi, who nodded. Without hesitation, Kisame tore off a lock of his hair and handed it to White Zetsu.

Itachi hesitated for a long time just now, wondering whether to use genjutsu to control the White Zetsu in front of him.

But after thinking it over, he still chose to hand over a lock of his hair.

My identity as a Konoha spy must not be exposed!

On the other side, a White Zetsu also appeared in front of Deidara and Sasori.

Deidara nonchalantly tugged at his blond hair.

Scorpion, on the other hand, gave the other a vial of blood.

"Senior Scorpion, you're right. You only have a few hairs on your head; once you give them to you, they're gone!"

White Zetsu nodded, then vanished from the spot.

Hidan and Kakuzu also provided hair from their bodies.

Even Konan and Obito left behind some

Nagato divided these cellular tissues into three parts, giving one part to Obito and storing the other two separately.

This is about their second chance!

Chapter 107 The Truth About the Village? Mitokado Homura's Struggle

"You really have a lot of influence; I sent two secret agents to invite you, but you still wouldn't go back."

Inside the casino, Jiraiya looked at the ageless Tsunade and sighed helplessly.

"If you're inviting me back to the village for drinks, I'll accept without hesitation. But if you're trying to dump a thorny problem on me, then no way."

Tsunade threw out a card as she spoke.

Soon after, a helpless voice rang out from the side, belonging to someone holding a little pink pig.

"Lady Tsunade, we've lost all the money we brought this time!"

Tsunade, still wanting more, glanced at Jiraiya beside her.

Do you have any money left? Can you lend me some?

Seeing Tsunade's utterly impolite and unyielding attitude, Jiraiya gave a helpless, wry smile.

"I really have no money left."

Tsunade curled her lip and looked at Jiraiya with disdain.

"You, a great writer, can't possibly be broke? Jiraiya, you've changed."

Jiraiya sighed.

"After the village took over, I discovered that many local government expenditures didn't match the accounts. I don't know how the teacher handled it, and I couldn't possibly use all my royalties to cover the difference."

Hearing Jiraiya's sarcastic remarks, Tsunade's eyes flickered for a moment, then she snorted coldly and stood up, ceasing her response.

"So you just want to dump this mess on me?"

"Wasn't becoming Naruto your lifelong dream? Why did you achieve it and then refuse to participate?"

Although Tsunade knew what Jiraiya was thinking, she still couldn't help but say something sarcastic to him.

"Sigh, you know, people always grow up in their naivety, but eventually succumb to reality. I'm not cut out to be Hokage. Lately, I've just felt overwhelmed. I really feel that my abilities are limited when it comes to handling village affairs."

"Tsunade, come back? You were the most thoughtful of the three of us, and you're also the granddaughter of the First Hokage. No one would object to you becoming Hokage. I've already spoken to my teacher, and he agreed!"

Jiraiya became increasingly agitated as he spoke.

Tsunade's brows furrowed slowly, and an impatient look appeared on her face.

"You agreed? Did you even ask me? Jiraiya, stop talking about making me Hokage. Our teacher is still alive, and you're his chosen successor. Someone like me isn't fit to be Hokage!"

"Besides, you know why I don't want to go back to the village. Is there even a trace of my grandfather left in the village now? The village has long become a stranger to me!"

Tsunade stared at Jiraiya with a serious and methodical expression.

Jiraiya's expression darkened.

Yes, the teacher was there too, and I was handpicked by several advisors. How could I tell Tsunade to go back and then evade the issue?

Seeing that Tsunade was somewhat angry, Jiraiya stopped talking.

When Tsunade saw the bewildered look on Jiraiya's face, her heart sank.

"What exactly is going on? Can you give me a straight answer? Why do we need a Hokage so urgently?"

Tsunade ordered a drink at the bar.

"What I'm about to say might be a bit shocking to the world, so please be prepared."

Jiraiya succinctly summarized the situation regarding the parallel universe invasion, word by word.

Tsunade had already downed the fourth drink the bartender had handed her.

"Lady Tsunade can't drink anymore!"

Shizune spoke up worriedly from the side, while the toon in her arms whimpered and tried to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, how could a medical ninja like me possibly get drunk and pass out here?"

Tsunade waved her hand dismissively.

She stared at Jiraiya with a hazy, complicated look in her eyes.

"Jiraiya? The situation is so serious now, and you want me to be Hokage so that when problems arise in the village, you can make the villagers blame me, right?"

Although Tsunade's voice was a little slurred, her words were clearer.

Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. It wasn't that he hadn't considered this issue, but...

Did the teacher have these thoughts in mind when he appointed him as Hokage?

The three generations of teachers have dedicated everything to the village; they shouldn't be thinking about such complicated things.

I promise to go back with you.

Tsunade pointed her finger at Jiraiya as she spoke.

Jiraiya was overjoyed.

"you say!"

"But! I won't become Hokage. The Third Hokage appointed you, so you'll continue as Hokage. I'll only assist you in crucial moments. I'll be living in the village during this time."

The silence softened her gaze.

"Lady Tsunade still can't let go of the village created by the First Hokage."

Jiraiya also looked at Tsunade, whose face was flushed and whose eyes were barely open, with a doting gaze.

"Okay, I promise you everything."

Tsunade nodded, then collapsed unconscious onto the table and fell asleep immediately.

Shizune and Jiraiya exchanged a glance, and both of them smiled helplessly.

"Because you, Jiraiya-sama, were by Tsunade-sama's side, she let her guard down. She's never been drunk before."

Jiraiya's heart fluttered, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.

The world is not yet at peace; how can children be so sentimental?

Konoha Village, Hokage Building

After bringing Tsunade back to the village, Jiraiya rushed back to the Hokage Building.

The latest batch of funds requested from the daimyo has arrived!

"War is imminent. In addition to preparing various standard weapons needed by the ninjas on the front lines, such as kunai, explosive tags, shuriken, and soldier rations, we, the medical ninjas in the logistics department, also need to purchase a large amount of hemostatic bandages, anti-inflammatory drugs, and temporary tents, folding beds, and other items needed in various wartime situations."

Jiraiya listed out exactly where this sum of money would be spent.

Besides Mitokado Yanagi, there were also several knowledgeable ANBU captains nearby.

Jiraiya flipped through the files on the table, then slowly spoke: "However, there haven't been any large-scale wars in Konoha for many years. The medical supplies and standard weapons needed for missions are usually small-scale. Perhaps we can use this money for pre-war mobilization."

Mitokado Homura lowered his head, a look of struggle on his face, but he quickly hardened his heart.

"Jiraiya, the situation here is a bit complicated, let me explain."

Mitokado Homura's words clearly lacked confidence, yet he could still appear righteous and awe-inspiring when facing Koharu Utatane, Danzo, and the Third Hokage.

Besides all being former members who followed the second generation leader, they were also a community of shared interests on the same boat.

But now, facing Jiraiya, an "outsider," he felt a chill run down his spine as he revealed the truth.

But if he were left behind in Konoha, and something went wrong due to Jiraiya's ignorance, he might lose his life, which would be even worse.

After weighing the options, Mitokado Homura told Jiraiya part of the "truth" about the village.

Chapter 108 Danzo: Oh no! I've become a good guy!

“Every year, 30% of the funds allocated by the Daimyo to the village are used for the medical system, which is entirely managed by Koharu Utatane. And you’re saying that only about 2% of that actually goes to the medical system?”

Jiraiya's anger was rising uncontrollably.

Although he utterly detests war, and although there is no war now, you cannot let your guard down about the future just because there is no war!

2%的资金用于医疗体系，不是30%的2%，是30%内的2%！！

No wonder the recovery rate of Konoha ninjas after casualties is low and slow after missions; it turns out it's because they don't have enough money!

Jiraiya clenched his fists, taking a long time to process the news.

"Where did this money go? Did Xiaochun, who was switching rooms with her, pocket it?"

Jiraiya asked in a low voice

“Not really.”

"The medical system's share of the village's budget is actually only 10%. It was only after Princess Tsunade proposed establishing a medical department that Koharu Utatane repeatedly fought for it, eventually raising the amount to 30% of the total budget."
