Tsunade: This time, he just seemed so tired.

Inside the Hokage's Office.

Kanami's Wood Clone and Jiraiya appeared in front of Tsunade.

You're back?

Seeing the two return, Tsunade's worried expression finally relaxed.

"You're back."

Jiraiya smiled as usual and looked at Tsunade he answered.

However, Tsunade soon noticed Jiraiya's missing left arm.

Her brow furrowed immediately. "Jiraiya, your left hand..."

"It's okay, it's just my left hand. My dominant hand is my right, so it doesn't affect my life at all."

Jiraiya said with a smile.

Upon hearing Tsunade, Tsunade frowned even more.

"I shouldn't have let you go in the first place. I should have stopped you."

After saying that, she turned to look at Kanami, took off her Hokage hat, and bowed. "Thank you, Kanami."

Kanami shook his head slightly. "If I had gone earlier, Jiraiya's left arm could have been saved."

Since he began his actions, he has habitually planned ahead. If he had really rushed straight to Amegakure at full speed, Jiraiya's left arm could very well have been saved, but that's not in his nature.

He has a habit of ensuring everything is foolproof before taking any action.

But the final result was indeed that because of his foresight, Jiraiya lost his left arm, and he was too embarrassed to accept Tsunade's thanks.

"Don't say that. You saved my life. It's just my left arm. If you hadn't come, I probably would be dead by now."

Jiraiya smiled as he looked at Kanami.

He was sincerely grateful.

He still had a chance to escape before Kanami appeared.

All you need to do is tell Gamaken to use the Reverse Summoning Jutsu to summon him to Mount Myōboku, and he will be able to escape.

However, he was unwilling, Jiraiya was caught in a mental dilemma at the time.

They are even willing to sacrifice their lives for intelligence.

It was only after Kanami appeared that he realized he wasn't as powerful as he thought, Jiraiya's Tales of a Gutsy Ninja didn't want to end completely at that point.

Now, seeing Tsunade, the feeling of happiness from surviving a disaster completely filled his heart.

At this moment, he was even more grateful to Kanami.

Kanami nodded slightly without replying.

Seeing this, Tsunade nodded and said, "It's good that you came back alive, Kanami. Don't blame Jiraiya. It wasn't you who caused Jiraiya to lose an arm, but that mysterious organization. They are the culprits."

Kanami naturally understood this principle, but he was doubting himself.

It's just a battle between reason and emotion.

The problem he's facing now is dealing with Otsutsuki Toneri, which involves taking precautions against his arrival.

They want to quickly increase their strength by using Tailed Beast and other methods.

The ideal situation would be to collect all the Tailed Beast in the entire Shinobi World into one's own hands.

But if he actually did that, it would mean making an enemy of the entire Shinobi World.

He could give up everything, but he had to consider Hinata.

Hinata's home is in Konoha, her father is in Konoha, her sister is in Konoha, her brother is in Konoha, and all her family members are in Konoha.

He was unwilling to let her bear the burden of fighting against the entire Shinobi World and causing her family to be displaced.

However, the early appearance of Otsutsuki Toneri forced him to make more use of his abilities to rapidly improve his future development.

After all, there is Ōtsutsuki Isshiki alive in this Shinobi World.

The Otsutsuki are high-level extraterrestrial beings. They usually work in pairs to find a suitable planet in the Universe, plant Small Ten-Tails, let it grow into God Tree, and then harvest its Chakra Fruit.

The food that feeds the Small Ten-Tails beast is one of the Otsutsuki.

The Ōtsutsuki Isshiki descended upon this planet along with Kaguya Otsutsuki was Isshiki Otsutsuki.

However, when the Small Ten-Tails was planted, Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was supposed to be sacrificed, suddenly betrayed them and sacrificed Isshiki to the Small Ten-Tails Isshiki.

After the Small Ten-Tails beast devoured Ōtsutsuki Isshiki bite, Kaguya Otsutsuki assumed Isshiki was dead.

However, Isshiki did not die. Instead, he used the Otsutsuki Clan's Divine Technique, Sukunahikona, to shrink his remaining upper body and quietly escape.

It hid in the ear of a monk named Jigen.

Who knows Ōtsutsuki Isshiki of the Shinobi World will awaken prematurely?

There are too many uncertainties. When he was at the Ninja Academy, Kanami always thought there was plenty of time. Pain's attack on the village would take three years, so he could just run away by then.

But as the bond was established, he didn't expect that even ten years wouldn't be enough, let alone three.

Humans are inherently greedy, Kanami is no exception.

He wanted to accompany Hinata for as long as possible.

If he couldn't see where the future was headed, things might be much easier for him than they are now, but since he can see it, he has to bear the pressure in advance.

"Kanami, Kanami?"

Just as he was lost in his own world of consciousness, several voices calling out to him pulled him back to reality.

He looked up and met Tsunade's eyes.

"What's wrong? You don't look well."

"Did you suffer some internal injury during your trip to Amegakure?"

Tsunade asked with concern.

Kanami shook his head and let out a long breath. "It's alright, Lady Tsunade, I'll head back now."

"Are you really alright?"

"Um."

Kanami nodded again, bid farewell to the two, and left the Hokage's Office.

"Kanami... his maturity and other qualities far surpass those of his peers, yet no matter what difficulties he encounters, he always wears a reassuring smile. But this time, he seems... very tired."

Tsunade murmured softly.

She didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably sorry for Kanami.

He always felt an invisible pressure emanating from the other person, forcing him to constantly become stronger.

Jiraiya shook his head. "I don't know him either, I can't understand him."

Is Naruto truly the Child of Prophecy by the Great Toad Sage?

He began to feel uncertain.

Before Kanami appeared in Amegakure, he firmly believed in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.

Naruto is the Child of Prophecy, and he is the guide who leads the Child of Prophecy, which is also another reason why he is willing to sacrifice his life for information.

After Ke Kanami descended with an invincible aura, he always felt that the Great Toad Sage's prophecy might not necessarily be correct.

Even if Kanami is not the Child of Prophecy, he will definitely have an impact on the Shinobi World's landscape in the future.

Jiraiya suddenly felt a sense of certainty rising within him, though he himself wasn't sure if it was a thought that came from his own mind.

In reality, Kanami is already changing the landscape of the Shinobi World.

From the moment the Fourth Raikage was killed, the landscape of the Shinobi World became increasingly uncertain.

Now, the Five Great Nations Five Great Shinobi Villages have become the Five Great Nations and Four Great Ninja Villages.

"Let's not talk about Kanami for now. Let me tell you about the information I obtained from my trip to Amegakure."

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade seriously and said...

Such an expression is not usually seen on his face; when it does, it means that what he is about to say is very important.

Soon, Jiraiya told Tsunade what he had seen and heard in Amegakure.

"You mean those three children you took in during the war organized this mysterious Akatsuki Organization?"

After hearing Tsunade, Tsunade was deeply moved and remained unsettled for a long time.
