Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 137 Only Time Makes You Realize Your Short Legs (First and Second Updates)

"You're finally back."

Naruto's spirits lifted, and he said, "As expected, Konoha Village suits me better."

Although they were quick to get things done, the round trip still took them almost a week.

Taking Tazuna to the Land of Waves, in particular, wasted two-thirds of the time.

At first, Naruto was very excited, but after a while, he wanted to go back to Konoha.

Uchiha Sasuke nodded slightly.

He agrees with that statement.

Having been away from the village for so long, he missed the warmth of home and the three meals his mother cooked.

When on missions, at Kakashi Hatake's request, and also for safety and convenience, they rarely eat hot food, usually just rice balls or similar dishes.

"Class 7 is given two days off to rest well."

Kakashi Hatake chuckled and said.

He can understand them.

When you first become a ninja, everyone has this thought.

And they are still children.

"Thank you, Kakashi-sensei!"

Naruto Uzumaki was quite pleased.

"You can go back now."

Kakashi Hatake waved his hand and said, "I'm going to the Hokage Building to turn in the mission."

"Kakashi-sensei, I'll go with you."

"It's oil-loving Zhihui who spoke up."

"Should I go too?"

Naruto glanced at him and asked hesitantly.

"What are you going to do?"

Yu Nuzhihui replied with a smile, "I'm going to see my teacher."

"Oh, oh."

Naruto Uzumaki realized what was happening.

He has a Naruto teacher.

I'm so envious.

However, his teacher was also quite good.

Since witnessing Zabuza Momochi's strength, his understanding of Might Dai and Might Guy has been greatly enhanced.

Based on his simple comparison, he believed that opening the Eight Gates made one comparable to the Mizukage or Hokage.

"Goodbye, Zhihui!"

Naruto Uzumaki turned and ran.

He was heading in the direction of Matt Kay's house.

Since no one was home, he decided to go and see if his teacher had returned.

Sasuke Uchiha hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately said nothing.

Although Mikoto Uchiha urged him to cultivate a good relationship with Shiki Aburame, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

After much thought, he concluded that this was something he could only leave to her to do herself.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Hokage Building, Kakashi Hatake went ahead first.

According to the mission procedures of Konoha Village, he needs to register at the mission hall, then increase the mission level, and finally go to see the Hokage.

The Hokage's office.

Aburame Shiki pushed open the door, and what came into view was Tsunade's fair soles.

Her legs were propped up on the Hokage's desk, her whole body pressed against the Hokage's chair, her head slightly tilted back, and her eyes closed.

This pose accentuated the curves of her long neck and fair, snow-capped mountains.

"Who?"

Tsunade was awakened.

She subconsciously put her legs down and sat up straight.

She glared at him fiercely only after she realized it was Yu Nu Zhihui.

"You brat!"

Tsunade put her legs up on the desk again, and her round toes twitched.

"teacher."

Oil Girl Zhihui stepped forward and reminded her, "If outsiders see this, your image will be completely ruined."

"Who told you not to knock?"

When Tsunade saw him approaching, she kicked him directly.

"Teacher, that's going too far."

Yu Nu Zhihui instinctively stepped back, thus avoiding her attack with her jade feet.

You only realize how short your legs are when you need them.

Although Tsunade has perfect body proportions, her height is definitely a major drawback.

However, different heights bring different charms.

"You little brat, you should have stayed away for a few more days, so you wouldn't come back and make me angry!"

Tsunade clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth.

"I've done a really good job this time."

Aburame Shiki asked calmly, "Is this how the Hokage treats the heroes of Konoha?"

Tsunade pursed her lips.

That statement is undeniable.

The day after Team 7 captured Gato, she received a message from the Anbu.

There is a sum of money above that can pay off her debts.

She never dreamed that one day she would be free from debt.

Of course, it's impossible to repay the money.

I'll just owe it to you for now.

The reason those creditors lent her money was because of her identity and her superb medical ninjutsu.

If you borrow money and owe her a favor, you can seek her treatment if you have health problems in the future.

In addition to Cado's legacy, there is a continuous stream of expenses associated with the construction of the bridge.

That includes subsequent toll fees and commissions.

While it may not be as enduring as Cado's legacy, it has the advantage of being long-lasting.

In short, Yu Nu Zhihui did indeed make a great contribution.

"I have always been fair in rewarding and punishing."

Tsunade loosened her fist, and her expression returned to normal.

The playful fight was just an accident, and she didn't take it to heart.

The only pity is that I didn't step on him.

This brat has absolutely no idea what it means to respect one's teacher.

How dare they resist their teacher?

"What reward do you want?"

Tsunade snapped out of her daze, looked at him, and asked.

"Anything is fine?"

"I can't help but ask," Yu Nu Zhihui asked instinctively.

"Of course not."

Tsunade rolled her eyes and said, "I can't take the money!"

You're really obsessed with money!

Even though Kado has such a large legacy.

Isn't that enough to pay off your debts?

How much money did you borrow exactly?

Oil Girl Zhihui raised an eyebrow and asked, "Speaking of money, when do you plan to pay back the money I lent you before?"

"I'll pay you back when it's time."

Tsunade crossed her arms over her chest, a slight smile playing on her lips.

What money?

I'll eat you for the rest of my life!

"Let me spend a day in the ninjutsu scroll collection room."

Zhihui, the oil lady, didn't care about the small amount of money; she figured she would pay it back herself someday.

"A collection of ninjutsu scrolls? What do you want to learn?"

Tsunade crossed her long legs, swung her jade-like feet, and said, "I can teach you; you don't need to waste this reward opportunity."

"I don't have a specific goal; I'm just browsing casually."

Aburame Shiki said nonchalantly, "The main thing is that I don't lack anything. After thinking it over, the only thing that interests me is ninjutsu."

"You can keep it for later use."

Tsunade thought for a moment and then said.

As the Hokage, I do have this much power.

Moreover, he was her student.

"Need not."

Aburame Shiki refused, saying, "There are so many ninjutsu techniques; maybe there's one I'd like to learn."

"Since you put it that way, then so be it. It's your reward anyway."

Tsunade did not try to persuade her further.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, there's no point in keeping it.

If he really needed it urgently, would she refuse?

Even if she has to pay for it with her own efforts, she will still help him get it done.

"There's something I'm hesitant about. Could you give me some advice?"

Tsunade suddenly remembered something and said, "The Hidden Mist Village wants to exchange Zabuza Momochi and Haku back."

"Should we switch it back?"

Yu Nu Zhihui was somewhat surprised.

"I can roughly guess what Mei Terumi is thinking."

Tsunade rubbed her temples and said, "She is confident that she can control these two rogue ninjas to increase the strength of Kirigakure."

Aburame Shiki suddenly remembered that in the original work, Chojuro and others from Kirigakure mentioned Momochi Zabuza with great respect and admiration.

In their eyes, Zabuza Momochi, the Fourth Mizukage who opposed the bloody policies and rebelled against his superiors, was actually a hero.

The Hidden Mist Village is currently facing a talent shortage, and the arrival of Zabuza Momochi and Haku can alleviate the awkward situation somewhat.

Especially white.

He possesses ice magic.

Bloodline limits can be passed down through bloodlines.

This is why, in the original work, Kumogakure kidnapped both Kushina Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga.

After obtaining Haku, Kirigakure can help him expand his family and acquire many Ice Release ninjas.

"Is the teacher so troubled because the conditions offered are unsatisfactory?"

Yu Nu Zhihui snapped out of his daze and asked.

"It's because the conditions offered were quite good, with many of them favorable to Konoha."

Tsunade replied, "There are two main things: one is the 40 million head money, and the other is the alliance with Konoha Village."

"So, teacher, do you think we should let the tiger return to the mountain?"

"Oil Girl Zhihui asked with a smile."

That's exactly what I meant.

Tsunade nodded and said, "Both Zabuza Momochi and Haku are quite strong."

"Teacher, what do you think of the overall strength of Kirigakure right now?"

Oil Girl Zhihui changed the subject and asked.

"It's just so-so."

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "At the bottom of the Five Great Villages."

After the bloody policies of two generations of Mizukage, the bloodline limit ninjas and ninja clans of Kirigakure were either dead or had fled.

In order to eliminate these bloodline limit ninjas, countless ordinary ninjas also died.

In a ninja village, the most important thing is ninjas.

And ninjas, it is undeniable that those with bloodline limits are usually stronger.

In short, Kirigakure is at its weakest point right now.

"So what do you think Zabuza Momochi and Haku can change?"

"Issue no Zhihui continued to ask questions."

"Not much will change in at least twenty years."

After a moment of contemplation, Tsunade spoke.

"Teacher's insight is brilliant."

Oil Girl Zhihui gave a thumbs up.

Indeed, that is the case.

In its later stages, Kirigakure truly became a pitiful place.

Only Chojuro is there to maintain appearances.

He is also known as the most watery water shadow.

Besides Kirigakure, Iwagakure and Kumogakure also faced similar circumstances.

When it comes to the crucial moment, even the Fourth Tsuchikage, Kurotsuchi, still has to rely on Onoki to fight desperately.

Needless to say, the Fifth Raikage, Darui, was the weakest Raikage.

"What brilliant insight?"

Tsunade had made her decision and visibly relaxed. "Why do I feel like there's something strange about the tone of your voice?"

"No way! I'm serious."

Yu Nu Zhihui coughed lightly, changing the subject, and said, "I think we should add another condition."

"What are the conditions?"

Tsunade asked with some curiosity.

"Eye roll".

"That's what Yu Nu Zhihui said."

"This is indeed a good offer."

Tsunade's eyes lit up, and she said.

White eyes, because caged birds rarely escape, but there are always exceptions.

Ao, a Jonin from Kirigakure, once obtained a Byakugan during the Third Shinobi World War. He transplanted it into his right eye and became known as the Byakugan Killer.

This incident is a disgrace to Konoha and the Hyuga clan.

Konoha Village once offered a large reward and issued a gold-lettered arrest warrant for him, hoping to retrieve his Byakugan.

Unfortunately, they haven't succeeded all these years.

If we can take this opportunity to get it back, we can naturally wash away the stain.

At the same time, it greatly reduced Qing's strength, thereby weakening Kirigakure.

Incidentally, it can also make the Hyuga clan more loyal.

"We'll do as you say."

Tsunade stretched and said, "Talking to you really does solve the problem."

"It is the teacher's wisdom."

"That's what Yu Nu Zhihui said modestly."

"hypocritical."

Tsunade glanced at him and said, "I want to eat."

"What do you want to eat?"

Oil Girl Zhihui asked quite naturally.

Such conversations had happened between the two of them several times, and they had become accustomed to them.

"Let's keep it simple then."

After thinking for a moment, You Nu Zhihui said, "Rice balls."

He just got back and didn't want to make a big fuss.

"I want it hot."

Tsunade made a request.

Oil Girl Zhihui nodded.

Instead of going home, he used the cafeteria in the Hokage Building.

A knock came at the door.

"Please come in."

Tsunade lowered her legs, put on her shoes, sat up straight, and regained the dignity of the Hokage.

"Lord Hokage."

Kakashi Hatake pushed open the door and walked in. He handed over the scroll and said, "This is the mission report."

Tsunade opened the scroll and browsed through it.

It was basically the same as the information she had received from the Dark Side before, except for the additional details about the Seventh Squad's battle.

Seeing Yu Nuzhihui's performance, a faint smile appeared on her face.

It is no exaggeration to say that it played a crucial role.

"You did a good job."

Tsunade closed the scroll and said, "Treat it as an A-rank mission. Go collect your reward."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Kakashi Hatake didn't linger and turned to leave.

This task, from beginning to end, has already been planned.

He was just an executor.

Tsunade already knew the specific details, so there's no need to elaborate.

A moment later, the door was reopened.

Oil Girl Zhihui appeared carrying a plate of rice balls.

Before he could speak, Tsunade had already picked up a rice ball.

She opened her mouth and bit down hard, the rich meat juices inside the rice ball splashing everywhere.

Tsunade's eyes brightened slightly as she chewed and said, "It's chicken."

"Um."

Oil Girl Zhihui swallowed hard.

The gravy splattered on her lips and looked delicious.

Why aren't you eating?

Tsunade had already finished one, and then picked up another.

"eat."

Yu Nu Zhihui snapped out of her daze and started eating her rice balls.

Soon, a plate of rice balls was finished.

"Ah, that's really good."

Tsunade leaned back in the Hokage's chair, patted her stomach, and looked extremely lazy.

"Are you full?"

Yu Nuzhihui glanced at her belly, which looked no different from usual, and asked.

"That's about enough, let's leave it at that."

Tsunade waved her hand and said.

Yu Nu Zhihui thought to himself, "What a pity."

As a chef, it would be a dereliction of duty not to fill her belly.

"Teacher, I'll go watch ninjutsu right now."

Yu Nu Zhihui returned to the main topic.

"antelope."

Tsunade shouted loudly.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and a female ANBU ninja wearing an antelope mask appeared.

"Take him to the ninjutsu scroll collection room."

Tsunade waved her hand.

"Yes."

The antelope said calmly, "Please follow me."

Upon reaching the door, You Nuzhihui turned around and looked back.

Tsunade had closed her eyes and put her legs back on the desk.

It's really... a sign of laxity.

Aburame Shiki closed the door and followed Antelope into the ninjutsu scroll collection room.

The first thing he noticed was the Book of Seals placed in the very center.

Oil Girl Zhihui stepped forward and opened it.

The antelope stood guard at the entrance, paying no attention to his actions.

Given Yu Nu Zhihui's status, unless he sets fire to something, it doesn't matter what he does.

Two-in-one.
