I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

Chapter 124 Distracting Tsunade

Feeling completely refreshed, Tsunade stopped making things difficult for Yun Ting and then directly stated her original purpose for coming here: "Now that the war is over, I'm going to leave."

"Let's go, let's go." Yun Ting waved casually as a farewell.

"I won't... Huh? Why didn't you try to stop me this time?" Realizing something was wrong, Tsunade quickly reacted and asked, full of doubt.

In the past, when she wanted to leave, Yun Ting would usually persuade her to return to Konoha.

She had prepared reasons to refuse before she came, and was just about to speak, as was commonplace, but Yun Ting's reaction was unexpected.

Why did they just let me leave so easily?

Could it be because of the book-tearing incident?

As she thought of this, Tsunade's eyes suddenly turned dangerous.

Yun Ting didn't even notice, and just rolled his eyes at himself, saying, "What's the point of saying it? I've told you so many times before, and you never agreed. Why waste my breath now? Besides, Tsunade, you volunteered to join the war this time, which shows your commendable loyalty to Konoha and that you've made a great contribution. I won't bother you anymore. Go out and have some fun. Consider it a special leave I, as the Hokage, have granted you. Also, Konoha will reimburse all your expenses for the next month! How about that? Isn't that generous enough?"

"That's so kind of you! You're absolutely so kind of you!"

Upon hearing Yun Ting's words, Tsunade's previously sharp gaze instantly softened.

If she weren't afraid that Yun Ting would take advantage of her, she would have loved to use her magnanimous heart to properly thank this living Buddha, Yun Ting!

Reimbursement for one month!

The amount still has no bottom line!

The thought of being able to gamble to her heart's content in the casino for so long, drinking as much as she wanted without worrying about being chased by creditors or not having money for lodging at night, made her face flush with excitement.

"By the way, expenses incurred within the Land of Fire are not reimbursed," Yun Ting suddenly added.

"Why?" Tsunade asked, puzzled.

After the war ended, she was itching to go and planned to visit the Fire Country's Tansaku Street. After hearing Yun Ting's offer to reimburse her, she fantasized about how she would wreak havoc there.

As a result of Yun Ting's words, all the plans we had prepared have fallen through.

'Why? It's to keep you away from the vortex of the Land of Fire!' Yun Ting thought to himself.

Just like he had dealt with Minato and his wife before, Yun Ting also wanted to get rid of Tsunade as soon as possible.

There are some things that people like them who are deeply involved should avoid getting involved in.

To avoid being caught in a dilemma later on.

Of course, you can't say it like that at this time.

Yun Ting casually made up an excuse, saying, "I'm not reimbursing you for a month's expenses so you won't be idle. The Thunder God Sword left behind by the Second Hokage was stolen by the Konoha rogue ninja Green Vine, and the latest intelligence indicates that the thief has been spotted in the Land of Tea. Since you're traveling, Tsunade, why don't you take a trip to the Land of Tea and see if you can retrieve the Thunder God Sword?"

It is true that the Second Hokage's Thunder God Sword was stolen, but the so-called information was fabricated by Yun Ting.

In his memory, the Thunder God Sword in the original work seems to have been obtained by Naruto's Team 7 in the Land of Tea.

In order to send Tsunade far away, he took the opportunity to send her to the Land of Tea to find the Thunder God Sword.

In reality, the Konoha rogue ninja, Green Vine, who stole the Thunder God Sword, should have been a Jonin in Amegakure at that time, and the information given by Cloud Court was undoubtedly wrong.

But that's for the best, at least Tsunade will spend more time in the Land of Tea.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade curled her lip in displeasure: "She really knows how to order people around."

Despite having said that, she still agreed to Yunting's request.

Although I can't go to my favorite Tanabata Street, there are other gambling dens elsewhere, and a month's reimbursement is still too good to pass the time.

Furthermore, the Thunder God Sword, as the personal sword of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, also belongs to the Senju clan, and as a member of the Senju clan, she has the right to reclaim it.

So when she heard Yun Ting's request, Tsunade agreed without much thought.

"So when are you leaving?" Yun Ting asked, relieved.

"Now."

"Now?"

“Yes, if we don’t leave soon, the money I left for Shizune won’t be enough for her to eat,” Tsunade shrugged.

“Alright.” Yun Ting nodded knowingly.

When Tsunade arrived, she was alone. The great battle between Konoha and Kumogakure was still too dangerous for Shizune at the moment. The former had watched the latter grow up, so she wouldn't bring her along.

"Then I'll see you off," Yun Ting said, standing up.

Tsunade didn't refuse, and the two walked out side by side.

"After this great battle, Yun Ting, your reputation in the ninja world will probably be no less than my grandfather's." On the way, Tsunade looked at Yun Ting who was traveling with her and suddenly said with emotion.

Yun Ting smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not even as good as the first generation."

Reputation requires achievements and time to build.

Hashirama Senju fought against the entire ninja world for many years before earning the title of God of Shinobi. Although Yun Ting is now famous for his battle with the Cloud Ninja, his fame is ultimately limited. If he wants to earn a second title of God of Shinobi, he will probably have to put in a lot more effort.

However, Yun Ting has never been particularly interested in so-called fame.

If possible, he would prefer that the ninja world pay no attention to him and Konoha for the next few years.

After all, it's best to keep a low profile when it comes to making a fortune through farming.

Unfortunately, given the current situation, that's not very realistic.

Fortunately, the example of the Cloud Ninja, who suffered a crushing defeat and almost lost their pants, serves as a stark warning to the outside world for a long time.

Tsunade, unaware of the many thoughts Yun Ting was having in that instant, took it as mere modesty and patted him on the shoulder, genuinely smiling, "With you, Yun Ting, as Hokage, I doubt anyone will dare invade the Land of Fire for the next few decades. Now I can finally rest easy!"

"Go and have fun without any worries, okay?" Yun Ting joked with a smile, but his heart was very calm.

If what Tsunade said is true, then with his abilities, he could indeed protect Konoha's peace for a long time.

But she overlooked his own thoughts.

As the Hokage, he not only possesses immense strength but also commands the military power of Konoha, the most powerful force in the ninja world.

With such immense power in their hands, who would be content to live a mundane and uneventful life?

Every successful person in history has strived to realize their self-worth.

The same goes for Yunting.

Having seen both worlds, when he saw this distorted world, he clearly knew he had the ability to change it all. So why not do it for himself, for Konoha, and for the entire ninja world?

Yun Ting is likely to disappoint Tsunade with his simple expectations.

It's unclear how she'll react when she hears about what she did later.

Thinking of this, Yun Ting looked at the other person with a very complicated expression.

When the latter's gaze fell upon him, he instantly returned to normal.

Regardless, the journey must continue.

Now is not the time to expose ourselves.

For the next while, Yun Ting and Tsunade, behaving as usual, continued their back-and-forth conversation.

The two saw Itachi Uchiha along the way.

Tsunade had a vivid memory of the kid who had protected her in the previous battle: "This Uchiha brat has amazing ninja talent!"

Yun Ting nodded in agreement: "Itachi will be the pillar of Konoha's future."

"Very high praise, especially for the Uchiha clan," Tsunade said in surprise.

During her childhood, the village always treated the Uchiha clan with indifference.

Hearing Yun Ting, the Hokage, make such a comment about an Uchiha was quite surprising.

Times have changed after all.

Despite being a member of the Senju clan, Tsunade did not dislike the Uchiha clan as much as outsiders might imagine. In fact, compared to the Third Hokage, she was more tolerant of the Uchiha issue.

Therefore, she had no objection to Yun Ting's many practices in handling Uchiha affairs.

We are all from Konoha, why distinguish between us?

Yun Ting didn't escort Tsunade too far, stopping only at the entrance of the Konoha camp. He concluded by saying, "Don't be too anxious if we can't find the Thunder God Sword right away. Take your time. It's been lost for so long, a little more time won't make a difference."

He didn't follow the usual practice of telling Tsunade to be careful on the way.

After all, if something really happens, the people who should be worried are the people Tsunade is dealing with.

Tsunade didn't seem to care. She simply waved casually, said "I'm leaving," and then left gracefully.

Watching Tsunade's retreating figure, Yun Ting shook his head and turned back.

Midway through, Ritsuko Yamanaka, who had left earlier, returned to his side.

"Is everything settled?" Yun Ting asked.

Ritsuko Yamanaka nodded: "Shisui Uchiha, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki have all set off after receiving the orders."

"Didn't Kushina complain?" Yun Ting asked with a smile.

Shisui and Minato were both the kind of people who listened to orders seriously, so he always trusted them.

But he didn't believe that the woman's true nature would change after having a child.

Although the Hokage's orders cannot be refused, I imagine that the Hokage is probably cursing me from time to time while he is on his way.

“Um…” Ritsuko Yamanaka hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, “Kushina did complain, saying that the Hokage was too bad at choosing his time, which caused her to be separated from her husband and children.”

"A broken family? You certainly know how to use words." Yun Ting shook his head with a smile.

Kushina has always been straightforward, so he naturally wouldn't be angry about it.

Only time will tell when the other party will understand his good intentions.

"Those who were meant to leave have left, and those who were meant to come will eventually come. Everything is in place, and now the opportunity is in our hands. It's time to understand all of this!"

At this moment, Yun Ting was in high spirits.

On the side, even the usually calm Ritsuko Yamanaka showed a rare sign of excitement.

Because she saw that the future that everyone had been looking forward to for years was about to be realized!
