Who Do You Really Like, Tsunade or Orochimaru?
Tsunade's tone of refusal reminded Hinata of when she refused Hyuga Hiashi's Hokage Position.
Being Hokage is really not that interesting. I'm so busy with work that I don't even have time to enjoy myself.
However, the position of head of the Hyuga Clan is different.
Hinata may not have watched "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations," but she has read a lot of information about it online.
Fourth Shinobi World War, the Shinobi World maintained peace for several years, and the major Shinobi Village entered a period of rapid technological development.
That's a great opportunity to make a fortune!
Hinata has already planned it out: she will cooperate with Yamato to develop real estate together.
The Hyuga Clan also wanted to do business, so they started with technology products.
When the money rolls in, wouldn't that be much more comfortable than being Hokage?
We also need to properly develop the unknown lands beyond the Five Great Nations.
However, all of this is contingent on the Fourth Shinobi World War being over...
Hinata agreed to go with Jiraiya to find Tsunade not only because Jiraiya promised to teach Hinata Senjutsu Mode, but more importantly because she wanted to get closer to Tsunade.
Now that the Third is gone, Danzo has emerged from the sewers.
Hinata was quite anxious if she didn't cling to Tsunade's coattails.
After all, Hinata still has the Hyuga family to take care of. If Danzo doesn't like that Danzo family member and wants to pull them into Root, with Tsunade as her powerful backer, Hinata would have the confidence to refuse, right?
While Hinata was lost in thought, Naruto and Tsunade arguing.
Tsunade said with a stern face, "The Hokage is a complete waste. Only a fool would want to be the Hokage."
Hinata silently applauded, "Well said!"
Only when a fool becomes Hokage can we lowly ninjas live comfortably.
Naruto was furious. "How dare you laugh at the Hokage and the Fourth Hokage to my face? So what if she's a woman? I'll beat her up just the same way!"
Hinata had always suspected that Danzo might have used Kotoamatsukami on Naruto when Naruto was young...
That's not right either. If Danzo really used Kotoamatsukami on Naruto would have become Danzo's man long ago.
So, is the Will of Fire actually an ultimate Genjutsu that surpasses Kotoamatsukami?
Tsunade challenged Naruto to a duel and then taught Naruto a lesson with just one finger.
Naruto's talk-no-jutsu finally came in handy, and his words, "Hokage is my dream," instantly silenced Tsunade.
In the end, Tsunade ended her conflict with Naruto with a bet.
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade and invited, "Tsunade... how about we go for a drink? It's been a long time."
After saying that, without giving Tsunade a chance to refuse, he turned to Shizune and said, "Shizune, you take Hinata and Naruto and the others to find a place to rest for the night!"
Shizune bowed slightly and said, "Okay!"
On the way to the inn, Shizune seemed preoccupied. Hinata started a conversation and asked, "Shizune- nee, do you think the Pervy Sage can catch up with Lady Tsunade?"
"Huh?" Shizune was taken aback by his words, her face turning red as she said, "Don't... don't talk nonsense!"
Hinata smiled and said, "I think they're quite a good match. He's single and she's unmarried, so why don't we play matchmaker for them?"
"They're all getting on in years, it's really worrying."
Shizune lowered her head and remained silent; Orochimaru's appearance had plunged her into panic.
The title of the Legendary Sannin might not mean much to Hinata's generation of ninjas, but to Shizune's generation, they were legendary figures who shook the Shinobi World.
Hinata sighed. She finally had a nice older sister, but she turned out to be a serious and boring guy.
On the contrary, Naruto exclaimed loudly, his face full of disbelief, "The Pervy Sage actually likes that violent old woman?"
"I absolutely will not agree to this marriage!"
Hinata glanced at Naruto helplessly and retorted, "What does the Pervy Sage's marriage have to do with you?"
I found a hotel and booked Sanken rooms in Shizune.
"Naruto, you can sleep in the same room Lord Jiraiya. Hinata, please sleep in the same room as me. Don't worry, I don't have any bad habits!"
Shizune said somewhat embarrassedly, "Our money was all gambled away by Lady Tsunade, so..."
"It's okay!"
Hinata smiled and said, "I also want to sleep in the same room as Shizune- nee. If Lady Tsunade returns to the village, we will be colleagues from now on."
Shizune asked in surprise, "Huh? Colleague?"
Hinata reminded her, "When Shizune left the village, she was probably still Chunin! I just took the Chunin Ninja Exams, and the village leaders have already agreed to promote me to Chunin. As for Lady Tsunade Shizune, I'll leave it to you, Shizune."
In the Original Story, Shizune was Jonin, but she was actually quite young when she left the village with Tsunade. She was probably promoted to Jonin after returning to the village.
Shizune smiled gently and said, "Alright! I'll remind Lady Tsunade!"
Although Hinata seems a bit unreliable, in Shizune's opinion, Hinata is the first person to Tsunade as Hokage.
"Phew~"
Hinata collapsed onto the bed, feeling utterly exhausted.
However, today's harvest was quite substantial.
First, she acknowledged Tsunade as her boss, and then she got involved with Shizune, the future Hokage's secretary... after all, they'd be sharing a bed tonight.
From now on, I, Otsutsuki Hinata, can finally walk sideways in Konoha.
Hmph! Konoha will one day be surnamed Otsutsuki...
The next day at noon, Hinata was still fast asleep in bed when the window was suddenly pulled open from the outside with a 'click'. Jiraiya, sitting on the windowsill, said irritably, "Hey, what time is it? How come you can sleep even longer than Tonton..."
Hinata groggily opened her eyes, and upon seeing Jiraiya on the windowsill, she was stunned for a moment before shouting, "There's a pervert!!!"
"Go to hell!"
Jiraiya waved his hands repeatedly and hurriedly said, "I have something important to discuss with you."
Hinata paused for a moment. "Is this serious business?"
Jiraiya nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes! We must find Orochimaru before the time Orochimaru and Tsunade agreed to meet!"
Hinata asked gleefully, "Then kill him?"
Jiraiya paused for a moment, then said softly, "If possible..."
Hinata was somewhat dissatisfied, staring intently at Jiraiya, and pressed him, word by word, "Pervy Sage, there's one question you must answer truthfully!"
Jiraiya nodded. "Go ahead and ask!"
Hinata asked with a mixture of curiosity and excitement, "Pervy Sage, do you like Tsunade or Orochimaru? Which of them is your true love?"
"Puff--"
Jiraiya died of anger upon hearing this.
I, Jiraiya, am male and have a preference for women. How could I possibly like that disgusting guy, Orochimaru!
Hinata leaned closer and whispered, "Pervy Sage, you're in danger right now! I was just talking to Shizune yesterday about setting you up with Lady Tsunade, but if you like Orochimaru..."
Jiraiya roared in fury, "I've always liked Tsunade, who would like Orochimaru...!"
Jiraiya could finish speaking, Hinata's room door was pushed open with a bang, and Shizune and Tsunade stood silently in the doorway...
