Tsunade: I'm the Hokage, Not You!

Inside the meeting room.

"What?"

Utatane Koharu, jumped up, her face filled with astonishment.

Beside her, Mitokado Homura.

"Koharu, take it easy. Kyohiko didn't do anything wrong, and Danzo's actions have long since deviated from our original intentions."

"But..."

Utatane Koharu, looked dejected.

After all, we were once classmates, comrades-in-arms, and fellow soldiers, but things have come to this.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked a cigarette, remaining silent.

He was already mentally prepared, and upon hearing the news, he only felt a slight sense of emotion, but he didn't get angry or anxious with Tsunade because of it.

but.

Utatane Koharu, clearly lacked his composure and awareness.

Tsunade glanced at her indifferently and said, "Everyone goes through this kind of thing, everyone has to face it, not just you..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Weren't we Hiruko? But leaving the village is betrayal. Danzo going to Kyoto could be explained as a difference in ideals, but..."

She tossed over the second intelligence report.

"How do you explain this?"

"What explanation? Danzo also..."

Utatane Koharu, took the document and immediately got stuck.

Tsunade threw over was--

The Third Raikage and his son A invaded the Land of Fire. Currently, the Third Raikage has left, and A has been captured by Konoha Jonin Kyohiko Yoshimine and Minato Namikaze.

Ai has been captured!

This news came as a complete shock.

Utatane Koharu looked at Tsunade in shock, then slumped down, muttering to herself, "This shouldn't be... how could he be so stupid!"

Danzo actually colluded with foreign enemies!

Regardless of Danzo's motives, this step is enough to define the matter.

He betrayed his country!

Treason is more serious than missing-nin village. Even the Noble Faction will quickly distance themselves from him. As soon as the news gets out, the Guardian Ninja of the Land of Fire will be discarded like trash.

The Noble Faction approach...

She knows it all too well!

so.

Danzo essentially pushed what he himself had built directly into the fire.

She remained silent, offering no further words.

"Tsunade, is this news true?"

"It's absolutely true. Kyohiko sent it over, and Shusaku has also confirmed it. Danzo did indeed flee north, and he caused chaos in Kyoto before leaving."

Tsunade said.

Mitokado Homura said, "The nobles' separation from Danzo is a done deal. Should we proceed with the plan for Guardian Ninja according to the one Kyohiko agreed upon with the Feudal Lord?"

Women are more emotional.

In this respect, Mitokado Homura did a better job than Utatane Koharu; he immediately understood what the most urgent task was.

The power of Kyoto's ninjas!

How should we deal with the Guardian Ninja?

Hiruzen Sarutobi also looked at Tsunade, awaiting Tsunade answer.

Tsunade said, "We will definitely implement the plan that Kyohiko and the Feudal Lord agreed on, but as Kyohiko mentioned before, the Guardian Ninja will definitely be trained and dispatched by our Konoha."

I agree.

Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although it's only in name, it must be kept in Konoha's hands, otherwise, like this time, someone will find an opportunity to exploit it.

"Furthermore, it's necessary to maintain a calm and balanced relationship with the nobility, avoiding a complete breakdown, but they also can't remain completely silent."

Tsunade looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

There is no one more suitable than Hiruzen Sarutobi for this task.

In fact, the main purpose of this meeting was to have Hiruzen Sarutobi forward and negotiate with the Noble Faction and the Feudal Lord for their interests.

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and said, "Isn't this too forceful?"

"Won't!"

Tsunade said firmly, "While we won't hold them accountable for their past actions, it doesn't mean they won't pay the price."

"The necessary blood still needs to be shed. Besides, haven't the Feudal Lord and Kyoto's Guardian Ninja benefited from our training of them?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and said, "There's no precedent for this before, and as for whether the Guardian Ninja should continue, I'm still taking a wait-and-see approach."

"Teacher, I am the current Hokage, not you!"

Tsunade stood up, a half-smile on her face. "Besides, you're semi-retired now, you probably don't even know our plans, so how do you know it won't work?"

What are your plans?

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked seriously.

Tsunade said, "While the people were chosen by the Feudal Lord and his lord, how they are trained is our business."

She smiled.

"The Will of Fire shouldn't just be the spirit of Konoha alone; that's too narrow. The entire Land of Fire should try to understand it."

"The Will of Fire..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

He certainly believed in the Will of Fire.

but.

He believed in his own convictions, and Tsunade Hiruzen Sarutobi's ideas were too bold and risky.

But as Tsunade said...

She's the current Hokage, not Hiruzen Sarutobi. It would be impolite to continue opposing her.

Ninja Academy for a long time, Obito stepped forward.

"Shisui!"

"Um?"

Shisui turned around and saw Obito. He said with some surprise, "Obito, is something the matter?"

Obito's relationship with him was quite complicated.

He could sense that Obito desperately wanted to prove himself, but Shisui didn't care about that, so he quietly withdrew his power, both openly and secretly.

Many techniques were not used in Ninjutsu class.

but.

Even so, his relationship with Obito did not improve and remained in a state of ambivalence.

Regarding this...

The only explanation for Shisui's behavior is that he is too young.

The age difference meant that the two could never become partners or friends.

Unexpected.

Today, Obito the initiative to come to us, and he had shaken off his previous dejection; his whole demeanor was quite different.

He was secretly surprised.

"I have some questions about Sealing Technique that I don't quite understand, and I'd like to ask you for help..."

Obito blushed, scratched his head awkwardly, and then lowered his head. "My foundation in Sealing Technique is too weak, and my ability to learn new things is extremely poor, so..."

Shisui said, "It's alright! I don't know much about Sealing Technique either. We can learn and improve together."

Obito was first moved, then overjoyed.

"Shisui, you're so great!"

"Yes! Thank you. I wanted to ask about a... well, it's probably a very simple technique, but I just can't seem to learn it..."

Obito spoke with a hint of shame.

According to his secret investigation, the so-called Unsealing Seal was only of C-rank difficulty, Ninjutsu that even Genin could learn.

However, Sealing Technique are too difficult!

After Shisui, Shisui pondered for a moment and said, "This technique is indeed a relatively basic unsealing technique. The main difficulty lies in memorizing the details and remembering how to combine and apply them..."

Yes, yes!

Obito nodded repeatedly.

Shisui: "Regarding Chakra usage, Obito, have you Sharingan yet?"

"I know it, so what?"

Obito was unconvinced.

Shisui Shuidao: "That's simple then, come with me!"

Then, he vanished in Body Flicker Technique.

Obito was stunned for a few seconds before activating his Sharingan and finally seeing Shisui heading towards the school gate.

That's a super fast Body Flicker Technique!

He was secretly shocked.

Back then, he was far inferior to Shisui in skill!

As expected of Shisui.

He sighed inwardly.

It was precisely this difference in ability that made Obito completely unsure how to approach them.

To him, Shisui was like clouds and the sun, while he was like someone running and chasing on the ground, someone he could never catch up to.

The difference between geniuses and ordinary people...

Obito sighed, then quickly gave chase, continuing until they reached a riverbank outside the school, where Shisui finally stopped.

Then, Shisui turned around and smiled, "There are too many people and too many eyes at school. This is a secret technique of our family, and we can't let them see it."

"Uh-huh."

Obito nodded repeatedly.

Shisui took out a Sealing Scroll, then another item, saying, "Sharingan knows it can see through other people's Chakra, so..."

"Even if you don't know the principles of Ninjutsu, you can first memorize the opponent's Chakra usage trajectory and how to use it, and then apply the knowledge points. Sealing Technique and unsealing techniques are especially effective."

As he spoke, he Hand Seals.

In the blink of an eye, the hand seals were complete, and Chakra surged, transforming into characters that spread outwards from Shisui's palm.

at last--

The Sealing Scroll was activated, and the items on the side were directly sealed inside.

"Do you understand now?"

Shisui asked very patiently.

Obito nodded repeatedly. "I understand!"

He was extremely excited.

turn out to be...

Sharingan can be used like this!

Shisui nodded. "Our clan's Unsealing Seal is quite different from ordinary unsealing techniques. Look carefully."

Then, he Hand Seals with his hands.

Bang!

Chakra spreads.

The lockdown has been lifted.

"That's amazing! I never knew it could be done like that! Thank you, Shisui!"

Obito was extremely excited.

He never knew that the Sharingan could be used in such a way!

Shisui smiled sheepishly, "It's nothing. This kind of technique isn't very sophisticated. I only developed it to save time."

"Mmm, thank you!"

Obito carefully discussed and pondered the matter, then filled in the corresponding information as Shisui had described. Sure enough, he discovered that as long as he remembered how to use Chakra, he could simply apply the relevant knowledge points to achieve the desired result.

Although he still can't remember, but...

He can bring books with him!

Shisui nodded gently.

"It's nothing. We're all from the Uchiha Clan, and we all have pursuits different from others. Helping each other is only natural."

"That's right!"

Obito wholeheartedly agreed.

At that moment, he felt as if only Shisui understood his feelings within the entire Uchiha, and he was deeply moved.

"Shisui, thank you so much!"

After saying that, Obito ran away.

After running home for a while, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Shisui...

Is she a little over five years old?

How does he know so many uses of the Sharingan?

I've only just Awakening this!

Um?

Could it be that...?

Obito stopped in his tracks, his eyes and mouth widening. "I actually think he's the same kind of person as me?"

Konoha, Anbu base.

Accompanied by a fluctuation of space and Chakra, a little girl appeared in the dark room.

She looked around. "Have we arrived in Konoha already?"

"Don't touch anything here."

A hoarse voice rang out, followed by a cold, sinister face emerging from the shadows, its hands clad in blood-stained gloves.

but.

Upon noticing that it was a little girl, he quietly put away the glove and threw it into the trash can.

"Wait here."

Orochimaru said calmly.

Before long, two figures appeared beside the girl.

One of them was naturally Kyohiko.

another...

It was placed inside a wooden barrel, surrounded by various sealing Talisman.

"Ah, what a rare guest!"

Orochimaru looked at the wooden barrel, a smile appearing on his face.

Although he couldn't see what was inside the wooden barrel, he already knew the other person's identity from their aura.

A Jonin from Kumogakure!

It can also be said that--

The next Raikage, the future successor of Kumogakure.

In the current Kumogakure, no one is more suitable than A.

certainly.

This was before. Visiting Konoha would definitely affect A's reputation in the village, but it shouldn't have too much of an impact.

"Kyohiko, you guys... I understand."

Orochimaru chuckled softly.

Without Kyohiko needing to remind him, he already understood what was going on.

Danzo contacted Kumogakure!

He understood Danzo's thoughts after a moment's thought, and at the same time, he roughly guessed why the Kumogakure had traveled so far to make this trip.

Danzo had too many secrets in his head!

"Okay, I'll take him there and lock him up first. Could you look after her for a bit? I need to take her to her mother's later."

"Etc..."

Orochimaru was taken aback.

But the next second, Kyohiko had already left with the wooden bucket. He paused for a moment, then looked at the little girl who was only five or six years old beside him and fell into deep thought.

Taking care of children?

I?

He recalled that the last time he had taken care of the child was a long time ago.

Back then...

The Nawaki is not dead yet.

Orochimaru remained silent for a few seconds, then gave up and said softly, "The blood energy here is too strong. Let's go out."

"Yes, sir!"

Guren looked adorable.

She was afraid, but dared not show it.

but...

Looking around, she realized that the people around her were not people, but Monkey or small animals, and there was even a ninja inside the cave helping to feed them.

This looks like a laboratory.

She thought to herself.

As she was led away from the laboratory, Guren looked around and realized that she had arrived in a vast forest.

Is this Konoha?

"No, this is a forest outside of Konoha."

Orochimaru said in a low voice.

Guren understood and nodded gently. "My mother is really in Konoha?"

"Right."

Orochimaru answered.

Guren dared not ask any more questions.

and.

Knowing that her mother was still alive, she was relieved. As for her father...

She knew in her heart that her father was dead.

A few minutes later, Kyohiko suddenly appeared, with a woman beside him, none other than Mami.

When she saw Guren, her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she knelt down.

"Guren!"

"Mother?"

Guren looked up and hesitated for a moment, but after being picked up, her memories seemed to flood back, and she shouted even more firmly.

"Mother!"

The mother and daughter embraced and wept bitterly.

Seeing this, Orochimaru silently walked away.

Kyohiko followed closely behind. "This kind of reunion is truly heartwarming."

"Reunions after war are indeed joyous, but in every war, many people never return."

Orochimaru said in a low voice, "Heh, human life is too fragile. Fluctuations in any country or power will take away many lives, directly or indirectly... it makes no difference!"
