Actually, Tsunade just wanted to find a way to back down. After all, she had been so firm in her refusal before. If she suddenly changed her mind, did she think Princess Tsunade had no dignity?

Tsunade spied on Naruto's training more than once.

When she saw Naruto, who was training and striving with all his might and dreaming of becoming Hokage, the softest spot in Tsunade's heart seemed to be touched.

Every time Naruto collapses from exhaustion during training, he quickly gets up. Even though his whole body is trembling, as long as he has a little strength left, Naruto will continue training.

"Becoming Hokage is my dream!"

Whenever Tsunade recalls Naruto's expression when he said those words, all she sees are the shadows of Nawaki and Dan.

Tsunade had no idea that the reason Naruto could get up again and again after collapsing from exhaustion was not because he was stronger than others, but because he had cheated.

……

"What? Granny Tsunade agreed to come back to the village with us? And she even wants to become the Fifth Hokage?"

Naruto returned to the inn exhausted after a whole day of training, only to hear news that filled him with despair.

If Tsunade becomes Hokage, what should I do?

"No way! I absolutely won't agree!"

Naruto's tone was very firm.

Hinata suddenly glanced at Naruto, "No wonder you were always a genin during Tsunade's rule..."

You've offended the Hokage, and you still think you can become a Chunin?

You'll only be thought of when there's hard and dirty work to do, when you have to risk your life!

Anyway, at the beginning of Shippuden, whenever there was a slightly difficult task, Tsunade would always think of Naruto first.

Naruto, a mere genin, has carried out countless S-rank missions.

However, according to ninja regulations, genin can only perform D-rank and C-rank missions...

As expected, Tsunade is actually the most cunning woman!

No, that's not right! It should be said that every Hokage is black when you cut them open!

Think about the cause of Hayate Gekko's death! And think about Naruto, who spent his whole life as a genin, yet had to risk his life every time!

Tsk tsk tsk!

Hinata suddenly pounced on Tsunade, giving her a big bear hug. She looked at Naruto triumphantly and sneered, "Naruto, this is a decision made by the village's higher-ups. What right do you, a mere genin, have to deny the position of Hokage?"

Naruto retorted, dissatisfied, "Aren't you a genin too?"

Hinata said smugly, "Once we get back to the village, I'll be a Chunin!"

"Huh?"

Naruto was taken aback by this and asked, puzzled, "Why can you become a Chunin?"

Hinata stuck out her tongue and said, "That's because I beat you in the Chunin Exams!"

Moreover, you offended the Hokage, but I acknowledged the Hokage as my boss!

That's why I became a Chunin!

"Alright, Hinata!"

Tsunade felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable being hugged by Hinata. She struggled for a moment and said helplessly, "Let go first, I can't breathe!"

Hinata blushed slightly as she released her grip, then raised an eyebrow at Jiraiya: "I dare to openly hug Tsunade, do you dare?"

Jiraiya pretended not to see it; his chest was still aching slightly.

In short, although the journey to find Tsunade was somewhat bumpy, the ending was ultimately satisfactory.

Although Tsunade only said she would go back to the village to take a look, once she got back, could she really leave?

After resting for another night in Tanabata, Hinata and her group of five embarked on their journey back to Konoha early the next morning.

Compared to dawdling when leaving, they were much more efficient on the way back.

Tsunade was by nature a fiery and impulsive person. After wandering around for so long, she had no interest in sightseeing. After only an hour's walk, Tsunade decided to travel in the manner of a ninja and return to the village as soon as possible.

However, as she approached Konoha, Tsunade hesitated again...

It's the same town where they met Itachi and Kisame. Hinata, Naruto, and Shizune are playing cards in their inn room, while Jiraiya and Tsunade go out alone, seemingly to have something to say.

At the izakaya, Jiraiya and Tsunade were both slightly tipsy.

Jiraiya's expression was serious as he said in a deep voice, "You'll have quite a lot to do this time you return to Konoha."

"First came the negotiations with Sunagakure, then the mission to deal with the village's pressure. The ninja world... I'm afraid it won't be peaceful either. The organization Orochimaru joined before is extremely dangerous."

"but……"

At this point, Jiraiya's expression was relaxed, but his tone was extremely serious as he said, "I will help you!"

Jiraiya doesn't make grand vows, but his words are often casual and seemingly casual, yet he would risk his life for them.

This was Jiraiya's lifelong promise!

In the past, Tsunade would have laughed at Jiraiya for overestimating himself, saying, "Why would I need your help?"

But not this time.

She knew Jiraiya was serious.

I was touched, and a sense of warmth gradually crept into my heart.

Tsunade poured Jiraiya a glass of wine and said with a hint of uncertainty, "You know about my illness!"

Jiraiya chuckled lightly, "Maybe becoming Hokage would be better."

Tsunade's problem is a psychological one, incurable, but Konoha itself might be the best medicine.

The younger generation of Konoha has produced countless outstanding ninjas.

Upon returning to Konoha, Tsunade went straight to the Hokage Building.

Jiraiya instructed the Chunin guarding the gate to inform the two Hokage advisors, while he himself, along with Hinata, Naruto, and Shizune, followed behind Tsunade.

Tsunade looked around as she went, finding everything she saw new and interesting.

During her years wandering the ninja world, Tsunade traveled to many places, but even the most bustling cities could not compare to the sense of belonging that Konoha gave her.

Hinata excitedly bought several portions of Konoha's famous snacks and ran to Tsunade's side, saying eagerly, "Big Sister, and Shizune-nee, you haven't had any Konoha delicacies in a long time, have you? Here... try some!"

Jiraiya and Naruto were initially curious as to why Hinata, who had been so calculating throughout the journey, was being so generous today.

Is this the end of the ninja world?

Seeing that Hinata had only bought three portions of food, the two could only curse her inwardly: "Sycophant!"

Tsunade was completely unaware, instinctively ignoring the presence of Jiraiya and Naruto.

Shizune, being shy, glanced awkwardly at Jiraiya and Naruto, blushed as she accepted the gift, and whispered, "Thank you, Hinata!"

Hinata, with a nouveau riche air, said lavishly, "No need to be so polite, Shizune-nee! If you and Big Sister are willing to do me the honor, how about I treat you tonight? You can choose the place, and we'll all go out for a big meal together?"

"This……"

Shizune looked at Tsunade with some hesitation, but Tsunade said without any politeness, "Then it's settled!"

Hinata's face lit up with pride as she said, "It is truly an honor for me that you would do me the honor of being here, Big Sister."

"I don't know why, but every time I see the eldest sister, I feel invigorated, I have a lot of energy to do things, my whole body gets hot, and it's as if my chakra has instantly multiplied."

As she spoke, Hinata secretly gestured to Jiraiya as if asking, "Are you treating?"

Jiraiya's face was dark, and he nodded through gritted teeth.

Hinata was overjoyed and enthusiastically invited, "Perverted Sage, why don't you come along too!"

Jiraiya gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you so much!"

Damn it! You treat me, I pay, and then you have to invite me before I can go?

We should have just let Orochimaru kill you back then; that way, Konoha would have been rid of one of its scourges!

Upon arriving at the Hokage Building, the two advisors from Konoha had already arrived. Tsunade didn't even greet them and headed straight for the rooftop of the Hokage Building.

Reaching the railing, Tsunade leaned on it with one hand, gazing down at the panoramic view of Konoha, and remarked with some emotion, "Konoha has changed a lot!"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Tsunade suddenly chuckled and declared with an air of dominance: "From this day forward, I am the ruler of this village... the Fifth Hokage!"

Hinata raised her hands and cheered, "I support the Fifth Hokage!"

"I believe that under the leadership of the Fifth Hokage, the village will surely have an even more glorious future!"

"The sun rises in the east, and you alone are invincible; for a thousand autumns and ten thousand years, you will unify the ninja world."

Tsunade turned around, gave Hinata a reproachful look, and said indifferently, "Alright, stop flattering me!"

Hinata's expression was serious as she said earnestly, "It's fine to flatter others, but you, Big Sister, are so open-minded and never like being praised. How could I possibly flatter you? If I spend more time with you, Big Sister, I will definitely become as broad-minded as you and become an amazing ninja."

"Hahaha--"

Tsunade smiled smugly, "That's true, but there aren't many people like you and me left in the village these days. Hinata! I also hope that one day, everyone in the world can have such a broad mind as you and me!"

"Cough cough!"

Koharu, who was in the dorm, couldn't take it anymore and snorted, "Alright, you're almost Hokage, what are you doing messing around with little girls?"

Before Tsunade could speak, Hinata reprimanded, "If you understand the Hokage's words, you must carry them out; if you don't understand them, you must deepen your understanding through carrying them out."

"Is the Hokage joking around?"

"Is there anything wrong with the Hokage having the world in his heart, embracing all corners of the earth, and caring about the safety of the entire ninja world?"

Xiaochun's face turned ashen as she turned to her new room.

The reason she only scolded Tsunade and ignored Hinata, the culprit, was because she thought Tsunade might be easier to bully, or more reasonable.

Little did Hinata know that with Tsunade backing her up, she wasn't afraid of her at all!
