Danzo Must Die

In front of the refrigerator.

Tsunade stared at the ice Kunai slowly condensing in Su Yu's hand, her face filled with disbelief.

"You... how on earth did you do that?" She fixed her gaze on Su Yu.

"I first built an ice cellar, then, through several days of personal experience, I gradually mastered the changes in Wind and Water style chakra. I began to fuse them, and finally, I obtained Ice style chakra.

According to my judgment, to obtain Ice style chakra, one must master the changes in Wind and Water style chakra—that is, to cultivate S-rank ninjutsu in both Wind and Water styles. This is the most basic requirement.

Then, through constant exposure, once you feel that your body has completely adapted to the cold, you can attempt to combine the two chakra changes.

Because everyone's chakra is not exactly the same, the specific ratio of the two types of chakra to be mixed still requires trial and error." Su Yu explained unhurriedly.

"..." Tsunade.

She roughly understood what Su Yu meant.

But, cultivating S-rank ninjutsu as a basic requirement?

Just this one condition alone would eliminate over ninety percent of all ninjas, and when you add the requirement of possessing both Wind and Water affinities, the difficulty would likely weed out ninety-nine percent of the ninja population.

And even then, that only qualifies one to begin the training.

From this, it is clear that the difficulty of acquiring a Kekkei Genkai through acquired training is beyond imagination.

Why did Konoha's previous research fail?

The answer is simple.

Most researchers, including Tsunade, assumed that Kekkei Genkai existed only within one's bloodline.

Therefore, they conducted many attempts, all of which failed.

Now, with Su Yu saying this, Tsunade realized that she, and all the other researchers, had been heading in the wrong direction.

"If I'm not mistaken, Konoha must have conducted research on Kekkei Genkai, right?" Su Yu saw Tsunade's reaction and knew what she was thinking.

"Konoha did indeed have such research; Orochimaru's work on Wood Release was even permitted by the Third Hokage. It's just that he became increasingly extreme, harmed many people, and was eventually driven out of the village." Tsunade did not hide the truth.

"Researching through bloodlines can indeed yield a Kekkei Genkai, but with current technology, the success rate is likely less than one in ten thousand. Sacrificing ten thousand lives for one Kekkei Genkai is undoubtedly the most foolish thing one could do." Su Yu said bluntly.

"You are right; we were indeed very foolish." Tsunade sighed and looked at Su Yu.

If Su Yu had appeared a dozen years earlier, Konoha might have become much better than it is now.

"I believe that Kekkei Genkai has a deep connection with chakra. Through acquired training, I suspect one could obtain not only the Ice style Kekkei Genkai but others as well." Su Yu reminded her.

"Are you telling the truth?" Tsunade's eyes lit up.

"This will require research funding." Su Yu looked straight at Tsunade.

"How much do you need?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow, realizing Su Yu was taking the opportunity to ask for money.

"The more, the better. Besides that, I need two assistants." Su Yu said calmly.

"Two assistants? One of them is that young lady from the Hyuga Clan, isn't she?" Tsunade joked.

Su Yu nodded, not denying it.

"Considering this scroll is quite valuable, I will provide the research funds and the personnel. Tell me, who is your second assistant?" Tsunade hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Anko Mitarashi." Su Yu replied.

"Orochimaru's student?" Tsunade looked at Su Yu.

"I belong to the side of Konoha." Su Yu looked back at Tsunade.

The two stared at each other for over ten seconds.

"I believe you, Su Yu-kun. You may appropriately make contact with Orochimaru to obtain useful intelligence. And then there is the matter of Uchiha Sasuke..."

"You should know that Uchiha Sasuke will not return to Konoha." Su Yu interrupted Tsunade.

"I know, but Naruto will not give up on Uchiha Sasuke." There was worry in Tsunade's eyes.

"I have already obtained the Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan from Sage Katsuyu." Su Yu said after a brief silence.

"Do you want to become a Jinchuriki?" Tsunade was startled.

"Not me. There is a girl from the Uzumaki Clan by my side who is qualified to become a Jinchuriki. She was previously a ninja from Kusagakure. I met her during the Chunin Exams, and after I asked some of Orochimaru's people to save her, I settled her in the Land of Waves." Su Yu shook his head.

Tsunade felt a stir in her heart upon hearing this.

"Karin Uzumaki is very pitiful. It would only take Lady Tsunade's love and warmth to turn her into a well-behaved Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. And as for Naruto, if he could be freed from the Nine-Tails, he would certainly be happy." Su Yu said in a low voice.

"Konoha does indeed need a reserve Jinchuriki. Do you have any conditions?" Tsunade began to take Su Yu seriously.

"Danzo must die."

"This condition..."

"If I cannot take revenge, what meaning does all my effort have?" Su Yu interrupted Tsunade.

"You... let me think about this carefully." Tsunade looked at Su Yu with a headache.

"Regardless of your thoughts, whenever there is an opportunity, I will strike at him. Once I reach Kage Level, no one will be able to protect Danzo's life. Lady Tsunade, I have no ambition; even if I don't become Hokage, I must avenge my parents." Su Yu said earnestly.

Tsunade opened her mouth, feeling somewhat helpless.

Her investigation had yielded no results, yet the death of Su Yu's parents was indeed suspicious.

Since Su Yu was able to trace it back to Danzo, he must have had his reasons.

In truth, Tsunade did not want to stand in his way.

However, a Konoha without Danzo would lack a certain level of external deterrence.

Danzo's existence made other ninja villages wary, which was the very reason the Third Hokage tolerated him.

The result, however, was that Danzo's ambition grew too large, and he set his sights on the position of Hokage.

When Su Yu and Tsunade arrived at the Hokage Office.

Temari was sitting on the sofa, sipping hot tea.

Seeing Tsunade, she quickly stood up and bowed.

"Regarding that matter, I apologize. I will provide Sunagakure with some compensation, and from now on, I will dispatch six Anbu ninjas to escort supplies to the border of Sunagakure," Tsunade said with an apologetic look on her face.

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade," Temari replied with a forced smile.

"For this exchange of supplies, Konoha will also offer Sunagakure a certain discount. You must have brought the list of supplies you need to purchase, right? Let me see it," Tsunade said in a gentle tone.

"Here is our purchase list," Temari said, producing a sheet of paper.

Tsunade examined it carefully before handing it to Shizune.

"Go and prepare these supplies. Also, ensure the prices for Sunagakure are set to the absolute minimum, and prepare extra Military Ration Pills and similar items."

"Understood." Shizune grasped Tsunade's intent.

The value of a Military Ration Pill was comparable to an Explosive Tag, yet it could save a life at a critical moment; this was Tsunade's way of compensating Sunagakure.

Temari glanced at Su Yu, giving him a look of gratitude.
