New Year, Konoha Most of the ninjas are on the front line, the conflict is still going on, and the three parties have no intention of stopping.
Jiraiya hurriedly returned to Land of Hot Water after returning from the front two days ago. His old friend had to deal with so many files every day. He felt a little heartbroken and blamed himself even more. "If the prophecy could be changed earlier, none of these things would have happened."
Nine-Tails was attacked and lost, and now Konoha is always under high pressure. In order to cope with possible secondary attacks, Shu Furukawa and others conduct intensive patrols every day.
Jiraiya blamed himself for this incident again. He obviously knew the prophecy and knew that learning Senjutsu might leave enemies behind, but in the end he didn't change anything.
Unable to even protect the village, Jiraiya could only vent this powerlessness on the battlefield, relying on the support of Mount Myoboku to constantly struggle with the Kumogakure ninja.
Tsunade was busy with too many things every day, and she didn't notice Jiraiya's mood. Especially after learning that Orochimaru was coming back soon, she relaxed a lot.
Anbu members need to be replenished, but training personnel also takes time. Using Root to cope with the war is just a helpless move.
Danzo and Tsunade, who quietly took back part of their power, are not interested in dealing with each other more. Their concepts are too different, and Orochimaru is more suitable for this job.
In Hokage Building, Danzo squinted his eyes and listened to the reports of Root members with the two consultants. Tsunade also looked thoughtful at this time.
"Three-Tails? I didn't expect there was an unexpected surprise."
"In this way, the village can obtain two Tailed Beast. Combined with the application of existing spells, Jinchuriki may be able to better use this power."
When his subordinates left, Danzo expressed his opinion. He insisted that he "want them all." Seeing that Tsunade didn't speak, he immediately added, "Lord Hokage, don't worry about the candidate for Jinchuriki. Root already has a suitable candidate among the ninjas."
"Three-Tails is indeed a good substitute. If it can be sealed early, we can even put Tailed Beast directly into the war."
"In this way, Iwagakure and Kumogakure can no longer use Tailed Beast to contain us. Without this threat, the two countries are no match for Konoha Ninja."
Tsunade frowned slightly when he heard "Jinchuriki's candidate". Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at each other, and soon the former handed over a document. "This is A's information. Just like Danzo said, this child is indeed the best candidate."
"As for the experiment, in fact, the relevant plans were started as early as the Hiruzen Sarutobi period. Shen's existence is to cope with such critical moments."
Tsunade, who opened the file, first had an angry look on her face, and then let out a long breath. She knew about using her grandfather's cells, but so many people died, but that was not what she wanted to see.
As Hokage, Tsunade had to endure some darkness. They looked at the three people and asked seriously, "How is this child's strength? Has he mastered Wood Release now?"
When Danzo thought of A, he inexplicably thought of Shu Furukawa. At that time, he planned to use Wood Release to suppress the opponent, but A failed to live up to his expectations. "Wood Release failed to reach the level of Lord Hashirama, but it still retained a strong control over Tailed Beast."
"As a Root ninja, A is already prepared. There is no need to worry about his mental state."
Mitokado Homura also added after hearing the introduction from his old friend, "This child can maintain absolute loyalty to the village. In addition, Wood Release suppresses Tailed Beast, which will also help him master this power."
"We have evaluated this and found that if it only carries the power of Tailed Beast, A's body can resist the invasion of evil thoughts in Tailed Beast Chakra."
"Combined with Sealing Jutsu from the Uzumaki Clan, you can quickly master the power of Tailed Beast Transformation."
The old guys had prepared a series of plans when they proposed Tailed Beast Plan. Tsunade took a look at the three of them and finally chose to agree to the plan.
Tailed Beast can be passed down forever, but special ninjutsu requires talent. What the village needs is a stable inheritance. This power can ensure a worry-free future.
"The existence of Lord Hokage, Madara Uchiha has affected Uchiha Clan in the village."
"I won't doubt them, but Uchiha is born evil. This is the nature flowing in the blood."
"The existence of Madara Uchiha has awakened this evil. I propose to strengthen supervision of them after the war."
Danzo is an expert in dealing with the Uchiha Clan affairs. He put the big label on him as soon as he opened his mouth. Tsunade was so angry that his eyes jumped twice. He stared at the old guy and said solemnly, "You seem to have known the relevant information for a long time. Rinnegan was also involved in the attack on the village."
"I know very well who is the enemy and who is the companion. There will be no supervision of Uchiha."
The proposal was refuted, and Danzo fell silent again. The Cursed Seal in his heart and the White Zetsu in his body could only be temporarily suppressed by the poisonous insects. The time was coming, so he could only keep silent.
"Supervision matters must be put aside. Uchiha still needs to cooperate with the village to arrest Tailed Beast."
"In addition to Person A, we also need to select another child, Jinchuriki. I propose to use Kushina's child."
"Inherited the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan. Although it is not yet certain whether he has Chakra as special as Kushina, he is undoubtedly a good candidate."
Utatane Koharu squinted his eyes and gave the suggestion. When Tsunade saw the expressions of the three, he knew that the other party had discussed it again. He became more and more angry. "There is no need to discuss this matter. Since you want to transform Tailed Beast into combat power as soon as possible, this child does not meet the requirements."
"Don't promote your views at this time. Don't forget that Kushina has already sacrificed once for the village."
Tsunade vetoed it on the spot, and the three of them remained silent. They were just paving the way for A to choose one of the two. This time they won. 0
Once they grasp the power of Tailed Beast, the three of them can return to the center of power, and Root can also be continued in the name of supervising Tailed Beast.
After the evening meeting, Tsunade became increasingly angry as she watched the three people leave. She didn't expect these old guys to be so greedy for power.
Thinking that Jinchuriki might be controlled by Root, Tsunade had a headache. This was supposed to be the power of Hokage, but she lost Nine-Tails.
"What are you worried about again, teacher? There is no problem on the front."
"Although it was difficult to supply supplies after the weather turned cold, no one made any mistakes. The teams deployed on the front line are very grateful to the teacher."
Shu Furukawa suddenly appeared in the room and handed Tsunade a document. The latter frowned and read through it, but Intelligence Department failed to parse out any useful information.
"What a troublesome thing! Are they all puppets as you speculated?"
"Just this means that the enemy did not suffer too many losses during the attack, and the opponent may launch another attack."
Tsunade sighed again. She could no longer understand this ability, which also made her start to feel anxious again. Once attacked again, everything she had rebuilt might be destroyed again.
"Don't worry, teacher, Barrier Division is already improving the technique."
"That kind of powerful ninjutsu requires a long time to accumulate power. I won't let this happen again."
Shu Furukawa comforted softly, Tsunade turned to look at the disciple, finally nodded vigorously, stood up and came to the window together, looking at the construction site covered in night, whispering softly, "Fortunately, you are by my side. It's already this time, and some people are still thinking about the power in their hands."
"You need to get to know that child A, and if you have the chance, get him out of Root."
Tsunade didn't say anything about the experiment. As Hokage, it's actually a good thing that there are Wood Release ninjas in the village. Shu Furukawa knew that the teacher didn't like to share power, so he took the teacher and solemnly promised, "I will help the teacher solve the Root problem. Tailed Beast Plan really needs them. This is the only way for the time being."
Subconsciously leaning on her chest, Tsunade automatically ignored her disciple's age. Most of the time, she could only talk to each other. She was used to this kind of life.
"I don't know how long the war will last."
"I really want to go back to my old life. I haven't been to a bathhouse for a long time. I really want to have a few drinks."
"It's clear that Iwagakure and Kumogakure still insist on fighting despite getting nothing. Those dead ninjas may not even know what happened in the end..."
Taking the initiative to release friendly information, Tsunade did not block the spread of intelligence. She just hoped that the other party would retreat in spite of difficulties. The result was completely opposite to what she expected.
Both sides sent Jinchuriki, but the scale of the war expanded. Tsunade saw the casualty information every day, and his heart was extremely heavy. Konoha Ninja died in a battle that should not have happened. This was Hokage's dereliction of duty.
Shu Furukawa hugged the teacher tightly, caressed the teacher's back, and kept listening until Tsunade stopped talking, then comforted him softly, "It's not the teacher's fault."
"The real situation is not important. Most ninjas only want to believe what they want to believe."
"We will definitely win, it just takes some time."
Tsunade nodded in her arms and stopped talking. A "desire" suddenly emerged in her body, but she was quickly suppressed. Thinking of Senjutsu's question, she asked in a low voice with some enthusiasm, "Xiu, start to resume your practice. The body transformation is almost completed."
"I started accumulating Chakra this year. Strength of a Hundred Seal will appear soon, right?"
There was an inexplicable look in Shu Furukawa's eyes. He looked at Tsunade who was wearing white Fire Cloud Robe in his arms and asked seriously, "What kind of Chakra does the teacher want to accumulate?"
"If it is an ordinary Chakra, with the modified body, it can be completed in up to one year."
"If it is Senjutsu Chakra, it will be much more difficult. You can only rely on secret medicine in the early stage, and you may need my help in the end."
Tsunade thought there was something wrong with it, but after the village was attacked, she began to long for more powerful power, so she put her previous weird thoughts behind her. "Let's accumulate Senjutsu Chakra! If you can practice Senjutsu, you can better protect the village."
,"Xiu, will you help me? I am really useless as a teacher..."
Tsunade raised his head and looked at the disciple. The curve at the corner of Shu Furukawa's mouth had disappeared. He looked at the teacher and said sincerely, "Of course, after the secret medicine stage is over, I will help the teacher replenish Strength of a Hundred Seal."
"Although this is a little slower, as long as it is completed, the teacher can enter Sage Mode when using this power, and the living can resonate and help."
"Thank you, Xiu..."
The tiredness was gone, and Tsunade began to look forward to Senjutsu from Shikkotsu Forest.
Just when Tsunade was about to use Summoning Jutsu to ask, a pool of liquid appeared on Shu Furukawa's shoulder, and then the palm-sized Katsuyu revealed his body, and a soft and waxy voice sounded, "Lady Tsunade agreed!"
"Master Xiu, let's make friends together when we become adults..."
"Bang..."
In a burst of white smoke, Katsuyu suddenly disappeared. The corner of Shu Furukawa's mouth twitched. The Katsuyu clone in his body recently was obviously an outspoken guy. "Teacher, don't worry, each clone has a different personality. This time he is a somewhat impatient guy."
Tsunade looked curious. Seeing the disciple's expression as usual, he didn't think much about it. He just complained, "I always feel that Katsuyu has become weird. Is it because there are too many clones?"
