Born with a great love for the Uchiha

But Danzo Shimura's death still evoked a complex and indescribable emotion in him.

That old man, after all, is someone of the same generation as the old man.

Just like that...

Was he publicly executed?

"Times have changed..."

Jiraiya sighed, put the note aside, leaned back against the hot spring, and gazed at the clear sky.

"But what does this have to do with this Toad Sage?"

"Lord Jiraiya."

"The messenger, Toad Kosuke, stood on the surface of the hot spring water and spoke earnestly."

"The Third Hokage wants you to return to the village as soon as possible to find a suitable successor."

"Looking for a successor? Ha!"

Jiraiya couldn't help but laugh.

"The old man wants to make me the fifth generation leader, doesn't he?"

"I'm not that stupid!"

"I have absolutely no interest in the Hokage position... Just tell the old man that!"

Kosuke Gama looked troubled, but decided to obey the order nonetheless.

"Wait a moment!"

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, then changed his story.

"I told the old man that I wanted to continue collecting folk songs."

"I haven't finished writing the next book, 'Intimate Paradise,' yet..."

"Let him find someone else!"

……

at the same time.

In the Land of Fire, somewhere in an underground casino.

"big big big!"

"Small! Small! Small!"

Amidst the clamor of shouts, a blonde woman slumped over the gambling table, her chips piled up like a small mountain in front of her.

Tsunade.

One of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and granddaughter of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

The strongest medical ninja in the ninja world.

as well as--

The biggest fat sheep in the ninja world!

"Open! One, two, three! Small!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Tsunade let out a scream as she watched helplessly as the croupier snatched away the small mountain in front of her.

"Again! I can still turn the tables!"

Frustrated by her losses, Tsunade pulled a wad of banknotes from her "four-dimensional pocket" and was about to place another bet.

Bang!

As the smoke rose, a tiny slug suddenly appeared on her shoulder, accompanied by a soft, sweet voice.

"Lady Tsunade, there is news from Konoha to convey to you."

"Ok?"

Tsunade took the scroll of letter that the slug spat out and unfolded it to read it.

With just one glance, her expression changed completely.

"Lady Tsunade? What's wrong?"

Shizune, holding a pink piglet, came closer and asked curiously.

Tsunade didn't say anything, she just handed over the scroll.

When Jingyin took the document and looked at it, her pupils suddenly contracted.

"Lady Tsunade..."

Shizune glanced cautiously at Tsunade.

Tsunade stood up expressionlessly and slammed the stack of banknotes in her hand onto the gambling table.

"Oshida."

"Huh?"

"I said keep betting on big!"

The dice clattered in the dice cup.

Tsunade's gaze, however, did not fall on the gambling table at all.

She looked out the window at the sky, her feelings a complex mix of emotions.

Danzo Shimura... is dead.

He had his head chopped off by a thirteen-year-old Uchiha brat.

Moreover, one of the charges against her was desecrating her grandfather's remains.

The dice have landed.

"Four, five, six, fifteen o'clock, big...big?"

Tsunade silently put away the chips she had won and stood up.

"Mute, pack your things."

"Where are we going?"

"Return to Konoha."

"...Eh!?"

Hidden Cloud Village.

Raikage's office.

The Fourth Raikage, A, looked at the intelligence scroll in his hand, involuntarily tilting his head, grinning, and looking completely bewildered.

A truly bewildered expression.JPG

"Is that old codger Danzo Shimura really dead?"

The Fourth Raikage, A, couldn't believe it.

"And he was killed by the Uchiha?"

"Yes, Fourth Hokage."

Raikage's secretary, Mabui, stood to the side and reported respectfully.

"After repeated confirmation by our intelligence personnel, Shimura Danzo is indeed dead."

The Fourth Raikage, A, remained silent for a long time.

"What...is Konoha doing?"

For a moment, the Fourth Raikage, A, felt that his head had become a little pointed.

He simply couldn't understand it.

That was Shimura Danzo, how could he be killed so easily?

Moreover, he was killed in a public execution as a "traitorous ninja"!

Doesn't this amount to announcing to the entire ninja world—

Did an irreconcilable and serious conflict arise between the Konoha leadership and the Uchiha clan?

"It's such a pity that Shimura Danzo died like this..."

Ai tossed aside the intelligence scroll in his hand, picked up a dumbbell, and began to work out his arm muscles.

"It's good that Shimura Danzo died!"

Mabui was already used to the Fourth Raikage's speaking style, and she calmly analyzed the situation.

"Fourth Hokage, according to the intelligence sent back from Konoha, after Danzo Shimura's death, his Root organization was also eradicated by the Uchiha clan's police force."

"It is expected that Konoha's overall strength will be weakened in the short term."

"Oh, Konoha has become weaker, so that means we've become stronger?"

Ai replied to his secretary while exercising his muscles.

"Then let's attack Konoha! Let them see the power of Kumogakure!"

"Fourth Hokage, I suggest that it is best not to do this."

Mabuyi calmly advised.

"The village is currently at war with Iwagakure. Opening a second front at this time would put too much pressure on the war effort!"
