Konoha: Who's the good guy?

On Mount Myōboku, the Great Toad Sage Gamamaru awakens from his deep sleep.

His eyes, which were usually cloudy, were now clear and wise like never before.

Recalling the chaotic scene I saw in my dream.

After pondering for a long time, Gamamaru finally gave up on his plan to send the toads to investigate news from the ninja world.

Everything in the world is constantly changing, and fate is never static either.

Now that the future is no longer visible.

Any further arrangements or plans would only create unnecessary trouble.

Just like what the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, said.

Throughout history, humanity has always been the protagonist of this world. Finding their place within their group and maintaining their own attitude and bottom line is what their species should do most.

Today, the toad clan are spirit beasts that help humans fight.

It's just a spirit beast.

Let humanity take control of its own future!

As long as humanity is not completely wiped out and ninjas are not completely extinct, their race can continue to exist and survive.

"Hoo~ Ha~ How are you planning to quickly improve my strength? With your weird tutoring ninjutsu?"

Tsunade lay sprawled on the lawn, panting heavily, feeling pain all over her body.

In the exchange just now, if it weren't for the astonishing restorative power of her Creation Regeneration: Hundred Healings Technique, she would have been much stronger.

She has probably already reunited with her great-grandfather and second great-grandfather.

We played cards together in this pure land!

"That's one aspect. The other aspect is to let you master immortal arts."

Shan Zhongjing used earth magic to repair the riddled ground outside his cultivation cave.

It was, after all, a training ground that Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya had built at great expense.

It's one thing to borrow a place to fight, but you can't just leave a pile of ruins after the fight without cleaning it up.

"Sage Arts? Sage Mode? The Slug Sage said I don't have that kind of talent."

Tsunade's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The Slug Sage is the most approachable of the three great spiritual lands' immortals, possessing an extremely gentle personality.

She had inquired about magic long ago.

However, the Slug Sage has explicitly stated this.

Cultivating immortal arts requires talent, and she does not possess that talent.

"The immortal techniques of the three great spiritual holy sites are, in the end, not very suitable for human cultivation. My immortal techniques are different."

After using the power of Wood Release, Yamanaka Kei replanted and repaired the trees that had fallen and broken.

Looking at Tsunade, who was still lying sprawled on the ground.

The previously concealed Sage Chakra burst forth once more, and a holy white light enveloped his entire body.

Chakra dragon horns coalesced and took shape on his forehead.

As his robes fluttered, nine fierce and majestic white chakra dragons soared and roared beside him.

"Can I learn this?"

Tsunade looked at the silver-white mark between Yamanaka Kei's eyebrows, feeling the vast and imposing aura emanating from him, and swallowed hard.

"Why don't you try and see?"

Yamanaka Kei slowly withdrew his aura and plopped down next to Tsunade.

He leaned down and moved closer to her neck.

"You you you you..."

Ignoring her aching body, Tsunade frantically tried to back away.

Although, although those horns are very beautiful, but, but...

"Don't move. I learned this technique from the Ryuchi Cave tradition, and it hasn't been improved yet. I can't stretch my neck, so just bear with it. It might hurt a little."

"Neck?"

"...Try to read less of those nonsensical novels."

Yamanaka Kei bit down on the chakra veins flowing down Tsunade's neck.

The sage energy, containing no bloodline information and no impurities, slowly and gradually seeped into Tsunade's body.

As the purest descendant of the Senju clan, Tsunade seems to have inherited very little of the power of the Sage Body.

In reality, it's just that those dominant genes have become recessive genes.

And what needs to be done in the mountain scenery.

It's about activating the hidden power within Tsunade, allowing her to directly possess the Sage Body and master Sage Mode!

"Ah! Ah! Knock me out! Quickly!"

Tsunade's pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints.

The wisps of Sage Art energy flowing through her chakra meridians were like ferocious beasts, frantically eroding and devouring the cellular energy within her body.

The excruciating pain that swept through her entire body felt as if someone was constantly cutting and rubbing all her pain receptors with a file.

In such excruciating pain, she couldn't even manage to fall into a coma!

bang~

"It does seem to hurt a little?"

Yamanaka Kei's left palm glowed with the light of the Yin-Yang Escape technique, which he placed against the point where Tsunade's lower dantian meridians converged.

It continuously restores the other party's body, which has been torn apart and reshaped by the pure immortal energy, while replenishing the life force consumed under such intense reshaping!

Even though Tsunade was unconscious, her body was still convulsing.

After thinking for a moment, he added a little of the intoxicating power of the [Grave Healer], using it as a painkiller.

"Urururu~"

Tsunade tilted her head to the side and began frantically spitting out foam.

Startled, Shan Zhongjing quickly withdrew the special technique that [Tomb Healer] had incorporated into his immortal arts.

More than an hour later.

Seeing that her body was completely covered in blood and filth, Tsunade's heartbeat and pulse returned to normal.

The body's cells become stronger and more vibrant through constant destruction and regeneration, and gradually adapt to the energy of the immortal arts.

He spoke to the system in his mind.

"System, grant Tsunade the white entry [Prostitute's Comeback], the green entry [Thug's Excitement Fist], and the blue entry [Sky-Splitting Sit]."

One white, one green, and one blue—three entries entered Tsunade's body.

The "Prostitute's Comeback" skill increases flexibility, agility, and allure.

The "Thug Excitement Fist" increases physical skills, strength, flexibility, dexterity, charm, strength growth, and physical learning speed.

[Sky-Splitting Sit] increases bone rigidity, strength in the buttocks, legs, and hips, as well as defensive capabilities.

These three entries, while not as impressive as the purple entry "Magical Girl Transformation" that Yamanaka Kei gave to Kushina, are still valuable.

But the combined effect is quite impressive!

In addition, he has enhanced physical fitness and the Sage Mode.

If Tsunade still can't completely overpower Hiruzen Sarutobi, then she'll be letting him down after all his efforts!

"This is a massive loss! I only have thirteen chances left to gift entries!"

The scenery in the mountains kept muttering to itself.

He made up his mind that he would make Tsunade repay him for his efforts today.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be at peace!

I observed Tsunade's condition for a while.

On his personal interface, the blue tags "Mighty Chariot" and "Exquisite Craftsmanship" began to appear and disappear intermittently.

The three entries that had just appeared on her profile page disappeared all at once.

A slight smile appeared on Shan Zhongjing's lips.

The entries have begun to be merged.

With the acceleration of the genjutsu, Tsunade should be able to complete the fusion of all the terms and the initial adaptation to the power within three days at most.

stable!

He picked up Tsunade, who was barely recognizable, with one hand.

Yamanaka Kei located the Flying Thunder God Technique mark in his home and returned directly to the living room.

After throwing her into the bedroom, let her properly integrate her own abilities within the illusion.

Then, with the two bewildered little ones in tow, he and Kushina worked together to prepare the ingredients for lunch.

----------

Time flies by unnoticed.

Undercurrents are surging within the Leaf Village.

As the morning sun rises from the horizon.

Having not slept for two days and two nights, Hiruzen Sarutobi paced back and forth in the Hokage's office in agitation.

For three consecutive days, he received no intelligence from the front lines!

Moreover, over these three days, for some unknown reason, various ninja clans and elite Jonin in Konoha kept holding secret meetings!

However, they can wait until the secret agents discover the movement and go to investigate and inquire.

Those guys had all already dispersed.

It was as if countless eyes were watching his every move, tipping off those people!

Even though he had changed the messengers around him several times, the situation remained unchanged!

A strong sense of unease washed over him, and Hiruzen Sarutobi felt as if he had a thorn in his side.

It seemed as if everything had slipped out of his control!

"Hiruzen, since we can't find concrete evidence, why not summon them all and question them face-to-face!"

Xiaochun, who was turning over, tapped on the armrest of the sofa, her expression equally serious.

"Call them all in at once and question them separately in different rooms. Someone will inevitably slip up."

Mitokado Yan added a sentence.

The Hokage actually felt that he had lost control of the village.

The directly subordinate secret forces are also like blind men, being manipulated at will. If this matter is not dealt with as soon as possible...

Konoha is likely to be in big trouble!

BOOM!

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could speak, the door to the Hokage's office was kicked open.

Wearing a light green short shirt and with her long, light blonde hair tied up with a red ribbon, Tsunade stood in front of the Hokage's office door with her chin slightly raised and one hand on her hip.

"No need to shout anymore! Old man, let's have a fight! I want the Fourth Hokage's position!"
