Tsunade was taken aback, not expecting Sakumo Hatake to show her kindness.
When Sakumo Hatake served as the captain of the Anbu under the Second Hokage, he handled matters impartially and never showed favoritism towards the Senju clan.
With the rise of the Third Hokage, the Anbu underwent a major reshuffle, and Sakumo Hatake never contacted the Senju clan again.
In Tsunade's view, Sakumo Hatake was a fair and principled powerful ninja who did not offend the Senju clan in any way, but also had no interaction with them.
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly turned his head, while Danzo sat up straight, repeatedly scanning between Sakumo Hatake and Tsunade.
Sakumo Hatake is powerful, but he always acts on assumptions and with naivety.
Several high-ranking officials stared at Sakumo Hatake, but Sakumo Hatake was very frank. He made the suggestion for the sake of Konoha and had no selfish motives.
Ye Guang thought to himself that Hatake Sakumo's political wisdom and combat wisdom were inversely proportional, or rather, that he was too principled and always adhered to his own values.
Under such circumstances, how can one openly support the Senju clan?
Hiruzen Sarutobi was getting annoyed and didn't want to continue the Jonin team meeting. He said:
"The Jonin team meeting is now adjourned. Shikaku, Sakumo, Tsunade, and the remaining 40 Jonin, cooperate well and work together to deal with Sunagakure."
The Jonin team meeting ended in an awkward atmosphere.
The higher-ups achieved their goals, but also encountered many unexpected problems.
The three high-ranking officials returned to the Hokage's office, and not long after, Captain Yellow Dog gave Nightlight a task.
The Hokage was furious and demanded that the Senju clan and Sakumo Hatake be closely monitored to see if they were colluding.
Ye Guang accepted the mission and left the Hokage Building.
Monitoring elite ninjas like Tsunade with too many people would only make them more vulnerable, so Yoru carried out the task alone.
Sakumo Hatake stayed at the Hokage Building, where he and 40 recruited Jonin deciphered maps and studied the terrain of the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers.
Senju Hanamori, Tsunade, and the other Senju Junin left the Hokage Building, and Yagami followed them.
Tsunade and the others entered Konoha Hospital.
There was a construction team in the hospital courtyard building Konoha Hospital's outpatient building No. 2.
Building No. 2 will be connected to the existing outpatient building by a connecting corridor.
At the end of the corridor in the old outpatient building, the windows and walls have been removed, and a temporary fence has been placed in preparation for connecting it to Outpatient Building No. 2.
With so many Senju clan ninjas joining the medical ninja ranks, hospitals are running out of space.
These 160-plus medical ninjas are sent to the front lines in batches during wartime, and enter Konoha Hospital during peacetime.
Ye Guang looked at the director's office in the outpatient building, pondering how to sneak in and gather intelligence.
Senju Hanamori and Tsunade were very busy, working from noon until night.
It wasn't until late at night that the two finished treating the wounded and making arrangements for expansion.
In the dean's office, Tsunade stood by the window, staring blankly outside.
Senju Hanamori asked, "Tsunade, is it really possible to directly confront the Third Hokage during the Jonin team meeting?"
Tsunade said:
“I know Hiruzen Sarutobi. In some ways, he’s a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong.”
If you act very gentle and cooperative, he will take advantage of you.
If you resist fiercely, he will back down and seek compromise.
He is a person who is good at compromising.
Don't worry, Auntie, I've always maintained contact with Orochimaru, and I also have my own power base.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi had to back down at the crucial moment.
Senju Hanamori asked, "Is Orochimaru reliable?"
"Reliable, much more reliable than that idiot Jiraiya." Tsunade closed her eyes, recalling many unpleasant memories, and said:
"When Hiruzen Sarutobi was my designated Jonin, he was so kind and patiently taught me."
"It's unclear when exactly, but Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and a few others have become increasingly extreme in their actions."
Chapter 115 Eavesdropping at Konoha Hospital
Tsunade was puzzled as to why Hiruzen Sarutobi was becoming increasingly extreme in his actions.
Senju Hanamori hoped Tsunade would fight resolutely for the Senju clan, not wanting her to be held back by her master-disciple relationship, and said:
"Tsunade, this is your first time experiencing the political struggles of Konoha, so you don't understand many things."
When the Third Hokage was Tobirama's disciple, he was gentle and valued his comrades. However, as Hokage, he became increasingly hypocritical, mainly because he lacked strength.
His father or his second uncle could suppress the entire Hidden Leaf Village. No one dared to disobey the orders of the Hokage Building.
Let alone Konoha, which ninja village in the entire ninja world dared to fight against Konoha alone at that time?
At the first Five Film Congress, my father wrote several letters, and the other four film directors had no choice but to attend.
Although the Third Hokage was known as the professor of ninjutsu, his strength was far inferior to that of his father and second uncle.
The Senju clan, the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, and top geniuses like Sakumo Hatake all have their own ideas and demands.
The Third Hokage had no choice but to rely on Danzo Shimura, resorting to ruthless and underhanded methods to achieve his goals.
Since the outbreak of the Second Shinobi World War, countless people have died or been injured in the village, Konoha's strength has greatly declined, and his authority has been further undermined.
You, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru fought Hanzo to a draw, earning the title of the Legendary Sannin, which to some extent salvaged the Third Hokage's reputation.
Tsunade, the Senju clan can use the medical system to lie low for a period of time.
But we know that this period of dormancy is only a temporary expedient, and we will eventually step back into the spotlight.
The essence of struggle is strength, is combat power.
Your ideas for forbidden techniques should be studied more quickly.
Having the strength of an elite Jonin and the title of one of the Legendary Sannin is not enough to revive the Senju clan.
Look at Sakumo Hatake, he was the captain of the Anbu during Tobirama's time.
After becoming Hokage, the Third Hokage had Sakumo Hatake retire from the Anbu, but he also had to rely on him in the war.
In Konoha, strength is always the most important thing.
Tsunade nodded repeatedly; her aunt's analysis was absolutely correct.
She should focus on learning the Yin Seal and must cross the threshold of becoming a Kage-level ninja as soon as possible.
Just then, Tsunade suddenly turned her head and looked at the bathroom to the side.
She smashed the bathroom wall with her elbow, leaving the bathroom empty.
She then quickly rushed into the hallway outside the office.
The corridor was also empty.
At the end of the corridor are windows and walls that were demolished for the expansion.
Tsunade looked down and saw that water had started flowing in the bathroom and was covering the floor.
The water flowed to the end of the corridor and fell through a gap at the end.
There were no footprints on the ground, and no other person's chakra was around.
But she clearly sensed that someone had been nearby just now.
Who has such a fast escape method, teleporting away as if by spatial jump?
Qian Shou Hua Mu followed her out and asked, "What happened?"
Tsunade said, "I sensed someone in the bathroom next door. He was incredibly fast and disappeared in an instant."
Qian Shou Hua Mu looked serious.
Despite being located within Konoha Village, it felt like danger lurked everywhere.
In the woods behind the hospital, Ye Guang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was chasing him.
He hid in the bathroom next to the dean's office while the Thousand Hands Flower and Tree Plant was busy.
Turn on the bathroom faucet a little so that the water flows slowly across the floor until it reaches the end of the hallway and then flows down the wall.
After being discovered by Tsunade, Yagami quickly used her Water Flicker Technique to escape.
Where there is water, one can use water to teleport.
Once inside the courtyard, a water pipe used for watering bricks was running continuously. Ye Guang used a second Water Instantaneous Movement in the darkness to quickly escape from Konoha Hospital.
The adventure was worthwhile; I gathered a lot of information.
First, there's the attitude of the Senju clan.
The Senju clan abandoned their illusions, recognized the situation, and completely stood in opposition to the Konoha leadership.
Senju Hanamori is a sensible person. She has begun to guard against the village. She is more rational and calm than Tsunade, and she also holds the important position of director of Konoha Hospital.
After Tsunade received the title of one of the Legendary Sannin, her status in the village rose significantly; she was no longer just a pretty face.
Tsunade is researching forbidden techniques suitable for herself, and her strength will soon increase further.
Secondly, there's intelligence about Sakumo Hatake.
Judging from his age, Sakumo Hatake was a genius captain of the Anbu when he was a teenager, but he retired from the Anbu after Hiruzen Sarutobi took over.
In this way, the alliance between Sakumo Hatake and the Senju clan has a certain foundation.
No wonder the higher-ups suspected the Senju clan of colluding with Sakumo Hatake; it turns out there was this connection.
With Sakumo Hatake and the Senju clan joining forces, this power continued to grow, becoming strong enough to rival the Konoha leadership.
Suddenly, Ye Guang felt his backside was a little crooked, and he was tempted to betray the Anbu. What should he do...?
Back at the Dark Division, Nightlight reported to Yellow Dog:
"Captain, Senju Hanamori and Princess Tsunade have been busy at Konoha Hospital, but they haven't found any evidence of collusion with Hatake Sakumo."
Yellow Dog nodded and said, "The ANBU who were watching Hatake Sakumo also reported that he has been studying the map all night and hasn't seen any Senju clan ninjas."
Ye Guang tentatively asked, "Is the Senju clan really going to be integrated into the medical system? How will the village respond?"
The yellow dog said:
"Senju Hanagi had been spreading rumors in the village, saying that the Senju clan sacrificed Lord Mito, Chief Senju Rinki, and nearly seven hundred ninjas for the sake of the village's Nine-Tails."
She also spread the word that Kushina Uzumaki was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, showing no regard for secrecy whatsoever.
The village had no choice but to raise the level of protection for Kushina Uzumaki.
Senju Hanamori's actions evoked great sympathy from many people in Konoha.
Furthermore, given the heavy casualties among Konoha ninjas and the shortage of medical ninjas, the Senju clan faced little resistance in entering the medical system; at least most of the Jonin in the village supported it.
As for junior and junior ninjas, those with exceptional medical skills from the Senju ninja clan are more welcome.
The Thousand-Handed Flower Tree is even more difficult to deal with than the Thousand-Handed Qilin Tree.
Thousand Hands Linmu would never abandon the honor of the Thousand Hands clan, and Thousand Hands Flower Wood, that woman, is extremely pragmatic.
Princess Tsunade, who lost her younger brother and lover, looked like she had eaten an explosive tag, and no one dared to mess with her.
Tsunade saved many people on the battlefield and has the highest prestige among the Sannin.
Orochimaru and Jiraiya support her, and there's not much they can do about Tsunade right now.
The older people get, the more afraid they become of children. For some reason, even the Hokage is now somewhat afraid of his three disciples.
Ye Guang thought to himself, "It seems that Qian Shou Hua Mu's decision to become the clan leader has unexpectedly turned out to be a brilliant move."
Under the leadership of Senju Hanagi, the Senju clan became cautious and pragmatic. They no longer shouted that they would give everything for the village or that they would become Hokage. They avoided risks and sought to lie low.
Yellow Dog handed Nightlight a scroll with a new mission written on it:
"Fox, you submitted a list of Sakumo Hatake's followers last time. The Anbu will investigate their attitudes and motives one by one."
One of his followers, named Shinmei, was only a Chunin in strength, yet he held a relatively high position in the group, which was quite strange.
He is about to be sent to the Land of Wind to conduct preliminary intelligence gathering.
