On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

"Eh?" Shizune, who was originally prepared to fight to the end with Tsunade, made a questioning sound.

"Thank you for your understanding, Lady Tsunade. I'm sorry for what happened earlier," Nagasawa apologized.

He was indeed in the wrong this time and did something wrong by forcing Tsunade to go back.

"I can't accept your apology. You, Nagasawa, are so strong. Don't try to find another reason to challenge me, or I won't be able to beat you." Tsunade, in her yin-yang master form, began to speak sarcastically to Nagasawa.

She suffered a lot at Yongze's hands, getting beaten more than ten times in an arm wrestling match and then being completely dominated in combat.

Now they're forcing her to return to Konoha.

"Lady Tsunade, you flatter me. You didn't even have time to show your skills in the battle just now. If it really came down to a fight later on, I definitely wouldn't be your match," Nagasawa said modestly.

He was unaffected by Tsunade's sarcastic remarks; he didn't care, and they wouldn't lower Konoha's prosperity rating.

He's not money; he can't please everyone. As long as he can protect Kushina and Minato on the night of the Nine-Tails, that's enough.

"Tch, boring." Tsunade saw Nagasawa's indifferent expression and felt as if her punch, which she had fully charged up, had hit a cotton ball and had no effect.

She would only be happy if Nagasawa got so angry with her that he wanted to challenge her.

Chapter 100 Medical Department

Although Tsunade agreed to return to Konoha, she was reluctant and walked very slowly, wasting a lot of time on the way.

Nagasawa finally returned to Konoha a week later.

After returning to Konoha, since it was noon, Nagasawa went to the Hokage Building and then went directly to the Anbu to deal with the things that had accumulated over the past week.

As a result, he ran into Orochimaru, who was about to leave the Anbu, as soon as he entered the Anbu.

Orochimaru's eyes lit up when he saw Nagasawa, and he asked, "Nagazawa-san, have you finished reading the information I gave you? What do you think of it?"

Nagasawa thought for a moment. The information seemed to have been given to him by Orochimaru before, but at that time he had just discovered Tsunade's location and went to find her.

"I haven't looked at that document yet because of the mission. Is there a problem?" Yongze asked.

"I haven't seen it yet..." Orochimaru's expression froze.

What was the purpose of all those tests he had gone to such lengths to think about?

"No problem, but I think we need to start the experiment as soon as possible," Orochimaru said, his expression returning to calm.

“That might be a bit difficult. I’ll probably be quite busy lately and won’t have much time,” Yongze said.

Now that Tsunade has just returned to the village, Nagasawa needs to keep a close eye on her to prevent her from having any thoughts of secretly running away.

In addition, he also needs to guide Kakashi and the others into the next stage of training.

Whether it's the advanced version of the Six Styles training or the domineering training, it's time to begin.

However, Kakashi and his crew also have work in the Anbu, so they need to stagger their training time with the Anbu.

These are all important matters. As for Orochimaru's experiments, Nagasawa doesn't yet understand what Orochimaru's plans are, so let's put them aside for now.

Orochimaru: ...

Why is Yongze, the training team leader, so busy?

The commander of the secret service just issues tasks; the work is done by the subordinates.

Why is he so busy in Yongze? He even goes out to do missions himself.

Orochimaru didn't say anything in the end. Nagasawa wasn't his subordinate. In terms of rank, the training captain was above the ordinary captain.

……

……

Tsunade took Shizune back to her Senju mansion.

Looking at the familiar house, Tsunade couldn't help but feel a surge of memories.

"Lady Tsunade, this place is quite clean," Shizune said, looking around the courtyard.

"Someone must have cleaned it. I've been gone for a while." Shizune's voice brought Tsunade back to her memories.

Someone did clean it.

Before setting off, Nagasawa had already told Minato to have someone clean Tsunade's house in advance.

"Those boring actions think they can make me happy?" Tsunade said dismissively.

However, a different opinion was expressed by the silent observer.

"Lady Tsunade, actually, when you think about it carefully, Jonin Nagasawa's treatment is indeed quite good, 100 million ryo a year, and his attitude is really good."

During that week together, Nagasawa's attitude was impeccable, and Shizune couldn't find any fault with him.

On the contrary, Tsunade was just like an angry little child, constantly trying to cause trouble for Nagasawa.

"Ugh... Lady Tsunade, please don't! I can't breathe!"

Suddenly, Tsunade hugged Shizune's head to her chest, rubbing her head as she said:

"How could you betray us after only a week of silence? You're actually siding with outsiders. You need to be taught a lesson."

"Ahem." Nagasawa, who had just entered the room, witnessed such a chest-killing incident and couldn't help but cough twice.

It must be said that Tsunade was the biggest person he had ever seen, both white and large.

"Oh, isn't this Lord Nagasawa? What's wrong? Are you worried about me, so you've come to spy on me?" Tsunade released the mute and transformed into an Onmyoji once again.

“Since you’ve already called me Lord Nagasawa, then of course I’m here to take care of you.” Nagasawa completely ignored Tsunade’s sarcastic tone and retorted with a joke.

Nagasawa tossed a scroll to Tsunade.

Tsunade took the scroll, opened it, and took a look.

This is a proposal to increase the training of medical ninjas, aiming to equip each squad with a medical ninja.

Tsunade looked at this and felt it looked somewhat familiar.

She quickly remembered that this was something she had brought up at the Jonin Tournament.

However, he was rejected by the third generation at that time.

The Third Hokage's reasoning was that they were at war at the time, and the enemy country wouldn't give them that much time to train so many medical ninjas.

It's not feasible in terms of time, resources, or even knowledge base.

Tsunade was furious when she was rejected, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that the Third Hokage was right; it really wasn't the right time.

However, because of this, she was reminded of her first love, Kato Dan.

She made a similar proposal at the Jonin meeting, but it was rejected by the Third Hokage and disapproved of by everyone.

At this point, Kato Dan acknowledged her feelings.

The two met because of this, but not long after, Kato broke off...

"What's the point of doing this now? I have no desire to do any more of that," Tsunade said, shaking her head.

Even if she were to become the head of that new medical institution, she wouldn't be interested in doing it now.

This will only make her more likely to recall those sad things.

“Even Tsunade, the medical saint, can’t serve as the head of the medical department, so who would dare to take the position? Besides, isn’t this what you’ve always wanted to do?” Nagasawa said.

He still really wanted Tsunade to take that position, so that while giving Tsunade something to do, he could also improve Konoha's medical ninja training system.

"That was me before. Now, all I want is for this year to pass quickly so I can enjoy myself with that 100 million taels of silver," Tsunade said with a nonchalant air.

Nagasawa began to reflect on his actions.

Did you go too far before and make Tsunade so depressed? This is too lazy.

"Fine, this will do." Nagasawa didn't force anything and prepared to go back and tell Minato the result.

Before leaving, Nagasawa left behind these words.

"I still have to say sorry for forcibly bringing you back to Konoha."

If you want to hate someone, just hate me. You can come and cause me trouble anytime; I'll accept it.

But don't involve Konoha, and don't take your anger out on Minato. Actually, it was my idea to bring you back.

Hating him won't cause him any harm; in fact, Tsunade's return has even boosted the prosperity level a bit.

But if Tsunade gets angry and completely breaks with Konoha in the future, that would be a real loss.

"I really don't know what's so great about this village, or what's so great about the Hokage position. Are they all such idiots?"

After hearing Nagasawa's words, Tsunade finally couldn't help but curse after a while.

Chapter 101 Itachi and Kabuto

After reviewing the theoretical knowledge, Kabuto prepared to go to the river to practice the changes in the properties of water.

Previously, Nagasawa had used chakra paper to test his chakra attributes, which were wind, earth, and water.

This means that even if he doesn't specifically train in fire and lightning chakra nature transformations, he still has up to three chakra natures at his disposal.

This is a huge advantage.

Because the chakra nature you are born with is different from the nature transformation you acquire later through training, the former is much stronger, and you can use ninjutsu faster and more effectively in battle.

Therefore, Kabuto plans to focus on mastering the three attributes of wind, earth, and water in the early stages, and then train in other attributes of chakra nature transformation to enrich his tactics.

Because of his mastery of wind, earth, and water chakra nature transformations, Nagasawa is only proficient in wind and water and knows little about earth chakra. He is currently mainly training in wind and water chakra nature transformations.

One week of practice on wind chakra nature transformation, and one week of practice on water chakra nature transformation.

He practiced wind-type last week, and this week it's water-type.

He currently has relatively little chakra, so the riverside has become his best training ground in order to reach the required training volume without consuming too much chakra.

At the riverbank, the presence of water makes using Water Release techniques easier and less chakra-intensive.

When Dou reached the riverbank, he saw a boy about his age sitting by the river, wearing a dark blue stand-up collar short-sleeved shirt, black shorts, and short hair that reached his ears.

Dou walked over with some concern.

This place is quite remote. If you fall into the water, you can shout yourself hoarse and no one will come.
