I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

......

Shikulin Forest.

When Yun Ting arrived, Tsunade was not there on time as they had agreed a few days earlier.

He must be gambling again, and got so engrossed that he forgot about the time.

At a time like this, they actually stood themselves up!

Enraged, Yun Ting said to Huo Yu, "Huo Yu, go and summon Tsunade here in reverse. You heard that she and I agreed to meet at this time today."

The live slug is a very principled creature; under normal circumstances, it will not attempt a reverse summoning without the contractor's permission. Just like when Tsunade, after learning of Orochimaru's death, hoped it would summon the Cloud Court, but was refused.

But this time is different.

After all, both hands had made a prior agreement, and the live slug wasn't so stubborn and inflexible.

In addition, Tsunade had patted her chest and promised to arrive on time before leaving a few days ago.

Therefore, in order to uphold Lady Tsunade's reputation, Katsuyu nodded and agreed, "Yes, Lady Yunting."

at the same time.

Inside a gambling den in the land of rivers.

Wearing a green battle robe with the word "gambling" on it, Tsunade excitedly shook the dice vigorously while shouting "Big, big, big!" with great anticipation.

This is undoubtedly a critical moment for her; she wouldn't care even if the King of Heaven himself came.

As for the time she had agreed to meet with Yun Ting, she had long forgotten about it.

Beside her, Shizune, holding a pink miniature pig named Tuntun in her arms, could only watch with tears in her eyes as the money on the table dwindled piece by piece.

If this keeps up, I'll be sleeping on the streets again tonight!

Is anyone going to stop Lady Tsunade?!

"Silence!" she shouted in her mind.

next second!

It was as if it had heard her innermost thoughts.

A wisp of white smoke suddenly rose from Tsunade's body.

After the smoke cleared, Tsunade and the dice cup in her hand had disappeared.

Having seen silence many times before, I wasn't surprised at all.

She naturally knew that Lady Tsunade had been summoned to Shikkotsu Forest.

Although she didn't understand why she was being summoned at this time, it was the best news she could have received.

I won't have to sleep on the streets tonight!

With a look of delight on her face, Jingyin was about to collect the money from the table.

However, at that moment, a thick, hairy hand slammed down on the money with a loud "bang".

She subconsciously looked up from the silence.

A hideous face, covered in thick, grotesque flesh, was smiling broadly at him, saying:

"Little girl, you should know that children shouldn't run around after the adults leave, or they'll easily get lost. Just stay here until your parents come back. You can also continue the bets your parents haven't finished while you're at it."

"No...that's not a good idea," Shizune said tremulously.

"There's nothing wrong with it. We're taking care of you on behalf of your family!" As she said this, Shizune was surrounded by muscular, tattooed men.

In fright, Tun Tun burrowed her head into Shizune's barren chest, leaving only her pink buttocks sticking out.

Jingyin nervously swallowed.

Faced with this situation, she could only nod stiffly.

"Oh well."

So, Shizune took Tsunade's place at the gambling table.

As for Tsunade, she was holding a dice cup and looking completely bewildered when she arrived at Shikkotsu Forest.

Chapter 71 Tsunade Returns to the Village

Within the Wet Bone Forest.

Tsunade, who had just arrived, shouted angrily, "You slug! Why did you summon me at this time? I had a feeling I was going to wipe you out right now!!!"

"All-rounder? It's more like everyone else is taking advantage of you, isn't it?"

Just then, a familiar male voice reached her ears.

Tsunade was taken aback, then turned her gaze and noticed that Yun Ting was also there.

Yun Ting, who had witnessed all of this, shrugged helplessly and said, "Tsunade, you haven't forgotten that this is the time we agreed to meet, have you?"

The memory suddenly surfaced in my mind.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade realized that it was indeed true.

She immediately laughed sheepishly and said, "Haha, how could I forget! I had already planned to come over after finishing my last game."

Time was of the essence, and Yun Ting was too lazy to expose Tsunade's lie, so he went straight to the point and said, "Konoha has an urgent matter that needs your help, Tsunade. Come back to Konoha with me."

"Go back to Konoha?" Tsunade was startled and immediately shook her head as if on cue, "No, no, no!"

She's living such a carefree life outside, and she doesn't want to go back to Konoha and be subject to all sorts of restrictions. Plus, there's always a barrier in her heart that prevents her from going back.

Yun Ting was not surprised by Tsunade's reaction.

That's why he only told the other party now.

If this matter were explained in advance, even if he managed to persuade her successfully, there was no guarantee that Tsunade wouldn't change her mind and disappear from the world, making it impossible to find her later.

It would be better to just say so and take it away on the same day.

Seeing Tsunade shaking her head vigorously, seemingly unmoved by reason, Yun Ting patiently explained, "It's not like you're going back forever, it's just for today. No one will stop you from leaving tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade maintained her usual "I'm well-read, don't try to fool me" attitude.

Yun Ting continued to explain, "Today is Kushina Uzumaki's due date. As a medical master and a woman, Tsunade, I hope you can be by her side then."

"Kushina is giving birth today? Time really flies! But even so, I don't need to go back. Having people from Konoha Hospital by Kushina's side is more than enough," Tsunade said with a surprised look.

Yun Ting shook his head and said, "As the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, Kushina is at her weakest on the day of her delivery, and the seal on the Nine-Tails is also at its most unstable at that time. In addition, there is a possibility that external forces may take the opportunity to invade during this period. Therefore, I need a powerful female ninja to protect her to prevent any accidents from happening. Tsunade, you are strong and have superb medical ninjutsu, so you are naturally the best candidate."

After hearing this, Tsunade's attitude finally softened, and she hesitated slightly as she said, "Konoha's defenses are so strong, and besides, we still have you, Sarutobi-sensei, and Minato. What could possibly go wrong?"

Yun Ting said helplessly, "That's true, but we can't go into the delivery room! If something unexpected happens, like the Nine-Tails' rampage or an enemy infiltrating, we'll need time to rush in. And during that time, Kushina and her child could be in mortal danger. Tsunade, as a woman, you can naturally be there for her at any time. If something really happens, you'll have the ability to suppress it. Tell me, who in the entire Hidden Leaf Village is more suitable than you?"

"Don't think I'm exaggerating. This concerns the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so there's no room for carelessness. We must ensure everything goes perfectly. I think you, Tsunade, are well aware of the devastation Konoha would suffer if the Nine-Tails went out of control. Also, I've received intelligence that a powerful enemy will be targeting Kushina today. Therefore, Konoha needs you, Tsunade."

Tsunade remained silent.

Although she was unwilling to return to Konoha on a personal level, she was still able to distinguish right from wrong when it came to matters of principle.

Therefore, faced with Yun Ting's sincere request as the Fourth Hokage, she finally nodded slowly, and then emphasized, "For one day only!"

“Of course, only for one day,” Yun Ting assured with a smile.

Finally, I succeeded in persuading him.

With Tsunade protecting Kushina, and Minato Namikaze guarding her side, plus Kushina herself, the risk of the Nine-Tails causing chaos was minimized.

He has completed all the necessary preparations.

Next, let's thoroughly correct this great tragedy in Naruto!

......

The Hokage's office.

After Yun Ting reappeared here, he first nodded to Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was waiting to the side, and then bit his finger to perform a summoning jutsu.

boom!

As the white smoke dissipated, a live slug the size of a person appeared.

"Thank you for your trouble, Live Slug," Yun Ting said.

"It's no trouble at all, Lord Yunting." The live slug replied gently, and then began to use the Reverse Spirit Communication Technique.

Soon, another plume of white smoke emerged, and Tsunade stepped out.

"They're finally back!"

Looking around, Tsunade realized she was in the Hokage's office. Then she looked out the window and, seeing the familiar street scenes, couldn't help but sigh.

"Long time no see, Tsunade." Hiruzen Sarutobi greeted Tsunade with great emotion upon seeing her.

Tsunade turned around and looked at her teacher, who was dressed casually. Without any formalities, she joked in a carefree manner, "Old man, it's been a long time! You seem to be getting more and more energetic! What, have you found a second spring in your life?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taking a habitual puff of his cigarette when he heard his disciple's words and choked for several seconds. Once he recovered, he immediately retorted angrily, "Nonsense! What second spring? You're not serious at all! Tsunade, how come you're still acting like this after all these years!"

"There's nothing I can do about it, I'm just always so young." Tsunade shrugged indifferently.

Looking at his disciple's youthful appearance, untouched by the passage of time, and then at his own wrinkled skin, Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless.

Yun Ting listened with great interest to the unconventional conversation between the master and disciple.

In the original timeline, Tsunade never returned to Konoha after leaving, and she never met or spoke with the Third Hokage until his death.

He felt he had rewritten history this time, and with the subsequent events involving Minato and his wife, he felt he could call himself a dream-fulfilling master.

After the master and disciple finished catching up, Yun Ting said to Tsunade, "I will send someone to take you to Kushina Uzumaki. I'll leave this day to you."

Tsunade waved her hand: "I will naturally do what I promised."

“Alright then.” With that, Yun Ting summoned Ritsuko Yamanaka and instructed her to lead Tsunade to the secret location where Kushina Uzumaki gave birth.
