Naruto: I, the villain template, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 60 Jonin Meeting (Seeking monthly votes!!)

Click.

Jiraiya pushed open the conference room door.

The light cast his shadow on the wall, along with the figure behind him.

"Tsunade."

Jiraiya suddenly stopped and turned to look at the woman behind him, smiling wryly, "You didn't really need to come, the old man didn't even call you..."

Tsunade's pale face still showed signs of exhaustion and confusion.

Her right arm is still wrapped in bandages and in a sling around her neck, looking quite different from her usual decisive and efficient image.

"Is this a Jonin meeting?"

After hearing Jiraiya's words, Tsunade seemed to snap out of her daze, glanced at him, and said calmly, "Can't I participate now?"

Feeling as if he had said something wrong again, Jiraiya scratched his head in annoyance.

However, he dared not say anything more to Tsunade, who was currently very sensitive.

Tsunade looked exhausted, as if she hadn't slept in a long time, but in fact she slept for fourteen out of twenty-four hours a day.

Even so, there is still a sense of powerlessness, which can only be attributed to mental fatigue.

Already emotionally damaged by Nawaki's death, he suffered another heavy blow at this time, so he kept reliving that day in his dreams, causing him to often wake up in a fright while sleeping.

A doctor cannot heal himself; one who helps others cannot help himself.

This is Tsunade's current state.

"You two actually came too."

Just then, a deep, resonant voice reached my ears, and a round-figured man walked over.

Upon hearing this voice, Jiraiya quickly turned around and said respectfully, "Senior Torifu."

The first person to approach them after they entered was Akimichi Torifu, who is now the head of the Akimichi clan.

He was a classmate of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Kagami Uchiha, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane. He was selected by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and joined the elite guard unit, where he was directly led and trained by Tobirama.

However, at that time, he always operated and carried out missions in a team with Uchiha Kagami.

After Uchiha Kagami's death, he quietly faded out of the Konoha leadership circle and returned to the Akimichi clan to raise his descendants.

Even so, his seniority was still incredibly high, and Jiraiya had to address him as "Uncle-Master".

"Tsunade!"

Seeing Tsunade standing there silently, Jiraiya tugged at her sleeve and turned to Akimichi Torifu apologetically, "I'm sorry, she hasn't been feeling well lately."

"No need to be so polite." Akimichi Torifu waved his hand dismissively, his chubby face smiling like a Buddha, as if he had long since lost the arrogance of his youth.

"Looks like you're recovering well?"

He glanced at Tsunade's arm; the cast had been removed, and it was now wrapped in bandages with medicine. He smiled and said, "If you have time, you can come to the clan's territory to find me. I have some secret medicines there that might be able to help you."

"……Thanks."

After a moment of silence, Tsunade whispered her thanks and glanced at her arm.

Most people would need several months to recover from such an injury and return to a normal life, but it was clear that her body and bones were healing much faster than the people at Konoha Hospital had imagined.

In truth, we have to thank Jiraiya.

When she was brought in for emergency treatment, her bones and meridians were severely damaged. With just a splint, she was disabled and could only lie obediently in bed, taking medicine and receiving IV drips, being moved here and there.

At first, caregivers took care of her daily life, but Tsunade, who was emotionally sensitive and easily angered, was really difficult to serve, so Jiraiya, who couldn't stand it, simply took over the care himself.

Tsunade's feelings were initially mixed, until this lecherous man, who never gave up his lustful desires...

He insisted on helping Tsunade to relieve herself, which drove the lazy Tsunade to desperation. She punched Jiraiya in the face with her right fist, which shattered the plaster cast on his arm.

As Jiraiya flew backward, he shouted in mid-air, saying that this was the familiar feeling.

Tsunade felt she would never forget Jiraiya's cheeky attitude back then.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the tall Jiraiya beside her, her eyes flashing with a complex emotion.

"Although the recovery speed of the bone and muscle damage is astonishing, and the doctors don't understand what has changed in Tsunade's physique, the injuries to the meridians that conduct chakra in her arms are still not getting better."

Jiraiya scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "So, the doctor's advice to her was to switch her left hand to her dominant hand after the injury heals."

He had actually secretly asked Mito-sama about it during this time.

She said that according to her and Tsunade's previous plan for the Yin Seal, if the slug cooperated to release twenty years' worth of chakra, the "Creation Rebirth" technique might be able to heal Tsunade's injuries.

Although the chances seemed slim, it was still a glimmer of hope, enough to cheer Jiraiya up.

However, he dared not tell Tsunade until he was certain it was feasible.

Tsunade is currently unable to withstand any emotional stimulation. If she goes from disappointment to hope and then to despair, the taut string will probably snap completely.

"Have you said enough?"

Upon hearing Tsunade's deep voice beside him, Jiraiya immediately shut his mouth, pretending to be dumbfounded as he turned to look at the conference room. But when he saw what it was, he was genuinely stunned.

"Why did the old man call so many people?"

Under the conference room lights, not only their shadows were cast, but also the silhouettes of people swaying on the walls on both sides, some old and some young, some plain and simple and some ambitious.

Uchiha Yomo, the head of the Uchiha clan, and Hyuga Fumito, the head of the Hyuga clan, two powerful clan leaders who couldn't stand each other, were both summoned to a meeting by the old man.

They stood on opposite sides of the conference table, not even glancing at each other, as if they considered the other a bad omen.

There are also the leaders of the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans, who form the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, as well as the heads of other prestigious ninja clans such as Sarutobi, Shimura, Inuzuka, and Aburame.

In addition, Jiraiya also saw some young, unfamiliar faces.

For example, that man with long blue hair, a gentle smile, and chatting happily with others.

Seemingly sensing Jiraiya's gaze, the blue-haired man who was talking to the others turned his head to look.

After making eye contact with Jiraiya, he paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded politely to Jiraiya, his gaze sweeping over Tsunade's face beside him.

"That's Kato Dan."

Akimichi Torifu explained from the side, "The newly promoted Konoha Jonin is proficient in the S-rank forbidden technique, Spirit Transformation Technique, and seems to have a very good reputation."

Looking at the complete lineup of Jonin in front of him, Jiraiya suddenly felt a little heavy-hearted.

The core members of Konoha are basically gathered in this conference room. If a spy manages to infiltrate this place and carry out a suicide bombing, then Konoha will be completely buried in the grave along with the collapsing building.

I remember the last time a Jonin meeting of this scale was held was the post-Shinobi World War cleanup meeting.

So, what will be the theme of this meeting?

Click.

The conference room door rang and was then pushed open from the outside.

"Looks like everyone's here."
