Tsunade Returned to the Village
Killer B stopped rapping and asked incredulously, "How could Big Brother be dead?"
Karui's expression was grave.
He recounted in detail how the Fourth Raikage, A, died.
Darui stared in shock, muttering, "To be... by a mere Konoha brat... Is Konoha about to rise to power again?"
hope pondered for a moment and said, "Is it just so happens that we're not around?"
Upon hearing this, Killer B remained silent and turned to leave.
He felt very guilty.
If Darui and Xi hadn't come looking for him after he slipped away, they would probably still be in the village, fighting alongside their eldest brother as his right-hand men, and nothing would have happened.
Seeing Killer B heading out of the village, Darui asked, "Beetle, where are you going?"
"You're not thinking of going to Konoha to take revenge right now, are you?" Nozomi asked.
Killer B stopped in his tracks.
"Return to Cloud-Lightning Gorge."
He knew that even if he wanted revenge now, it would be difficult. The only way he could do it now was to let the Eight-Tails Gyūki run rampant in Konoha, but he wanted to do it himself.
"Wait a minute! Lord Killer B!" Karui called from behind, "The Yugito Nii are in the village now."
"It's alright, I'm here." A tall woman with a light brown Braid appeared behind Karui.
"I'll go with you too. I might be able to help you with the Tailed Beast."
Killer B, standing still, nodded silently.
Using the Body Flicker Technique, they rushed towards the direction of Cloud-Lightning Gorge.
The Yugito Nii also used the Body Flicker Technique to catch up with Killer B and leave the village together.
"Lord Darui, Lord Xi, there are some other matters..."
"What's up?"
Karui said uneasily, "Lord Mabui, Samui, and Omoi went to Konoha for negotiations and haven't returned yet..."
"The village is currently in a state of turmoil due to Raikage's death..."
Darui said in a deep voice, "Mabui? How long have the three of them been missing?"
It's been two weeks already.
Two weeks?
Darui sighed, "Most likely..."
Even if he didn't say it, the other two people present understood what he meant.
There is a basis for making this judgment.
If the person is alive, Mabui will find a chance to use the Secret Technique: Sky Conveyance Technique to send back the information. If he doesn't send it back, he's basically done for.
"What about the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning? Did he say anything?"
"The Feudal Lord has told us to select the Fifth Raikage as soon as possible, but has not made any other comments," Karui replied.
Darui scratched his head. "This is difficult."
Two weeks have passed.
During this period, Konoha's reconstruction was nearing its end. Apart from the fact that the top-tier combatants lost could not be recovered, the village's economy and life were gradually recovering.
The incident of Kanami and Hyuga Hiashi killing Mitokado Homura has been transformed into a positive example under the guidance of Xiang and others.
Meanwhile, the previously lukewarm Hair Salon Industry has also experienced rapid growth during this period, showing a thriving scene.
Seeing the increasing number of Barbershop lately, Utatane Koharu sighed:
"You can even drive economic recovery like this, Homura. I never imagined you'd still be contributing to the village after your death."
Then she realized that it had been a long time since she had visited the three of them.
Let's go take a look today.
Utatane Koharu, she murmured to herself and pushed open the door.
Meanwhile, in the past two weeks, Kanami and Hinata have made a 5% progress in their training!
Of that 5%, 99.9% is Hinata's training progress.
The obstacle blocking their path was none other than each other; achieving even five percent progress proved that they were already quite disciplined.
Kanami began to miss the days when Danzō Shimura around.
Every day that Pot Kage was around inspired Kanami to move forward.
"No, Hinata, we can't keep slacking off like this! We need to train!" Kanami, who was eating, said with a serious expression.
"But..."
Hinata took a small bite of rice, glanced at Kanami, and hesitated whether to speak.
After thinking for a while, she still said weakly, "You said the same thing yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before that..."
"Is that so? Has it been that long since I made up my mind?"
"Um..."
Hinata hesitated for a moment.
"If I remember correctly, you said a week ago that you wanted to cultivate together with me..."
"..."
Kanami frowned, realizing that this seemed to be the case.
"Let's eat then."
Konoha Village Entrance.
Kotetsu Hagane, who was temporarily in charge of controlling the entry and exit of people in the village, was sitting at the Village Entrance, feeling utterly bored.
Suddenly I saw a woman wearing Green Coat with the Gambling Character" printed on the back, and with two large breasts sticking out in front of her as she walked.
"You, you are... Lady Tsunade!"
Just then, a Black Short Hair, holding Piglet, peeked out from behind.
With a slight smile, he asked, "Are the advisors here?"
"Exist!"
"My esteemed advisor!"
thump--
Kotetsu Hagane knocked on the door and called out.
"Come in, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
Utatane Koharu's helpless voice came from inside the room.
"Long time no see, old lady," Tsunade teased.
"Tsunade? You're back? Where's Jiraiya?" Utatane Koharu exclaimed with delight.
Normally, I would definitely compete with her to see who is better.
But now she feels mostly joy; after waiting so long, she's finally back.
"Who knows what that guy was up to, insisting on calling me back to be Hokage," Tsunade complained.
Utatane Koharu, smiled apologetically but didn't say anything.
She understood that Tsunade's decision to return to the village proved that Jiraiya had successfully persuaded her; otherwise, given her personality, if she used her Transformation Technique to travel to another country, virtually no one would be able to find her.
The next step is the process of the village's Jonin voting and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire's approval.
Worried about not getting elected?
That's impossible.
Tsunade, known as the Princess of the Land of Fire, has a relatively stable political position with the Feudal Lord, and is also known internationally as one of the Tsunade Legendary Sannin.
Both of these titles are enough to make her the Fifth Hokage.
The only question is when to hold the election ceremony.
Tsunade suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, old woman, why have I seen so many red-haired boys along the way?"
That's a long story.
Utatane Koharu, her eyes filled with reminiscence, recounted to Tsunade in detail what had happened in the past few days.
After listening, Tsunade's expression turned serious.
"I didn't expect that old man Mito to be dead too."
"However, even I cannot agree with your approach. If choosing to back down and compromise could bring peace, there wouldn't have been so many wars, large and small, since my grandfather passed away."
Tsunade was quite surprised by Mitokado Homura's death, but sometimes, if you take the wrong path, you'll bleed.
Tsunade suddenly sensed something was amiss and asked, "Old woman, but what does this have to do with a group of red-haired boys appearing in the village?"
After a moment's Utatane Koharu, replied:
"Because the boy who killed Mitokado Homura was a red-haired man, and he became the Hero Who Cleansed the Village of Its Pests."
