The threshold for Strength of a Hundred is set right there.

Even the entry level is extremely difficult.

In the past, many within the Senju clan itself were unable to master it, let alone the countless ordinary ninja.

Tsunade pondered for a moment.

"I am not worried about your ability, but do not go around teaching it to others for the time being. It is not that I am hiding it or unwilling to pass it on, but that it is a very dangerous technique."

"I understand."

Kyohiko's expression was serious.

One knows one's own situation best.

If not for the Hokage System, even if he knew how to use it, let alone risking injury to perform it, just reaching the entry level would have been incredibly difficult.

The consequences of an ordinary person learning it haphazardly...

Could be permanent disability.

Take Sakura Haruno, for example; her talent in this area is considered good, yet she still spent a massive amount of time training before she mastered it.

Tsunade's words were by no means alarmist.

Her expression relaxed, as if she had set down a heavy burden, and a smile appeared on her face.

A parcel was tossed over.

Kyohiko opened it to take a look.

A whole bag of Military Ration Pills, enough to fill a basket!

Joy appeared on his face.

"Lady Tsunade..."

"Do not use that form of address. Based on your grandmother's generation, we can barely count as siblings."

Tsunade said.

Tokah Senju was not closely related by blood to Hashirama Senju, but she was highly valued and had a very good relationship with their family.

Kyohiko hesitated.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and leaned forward, a magnificent, breathtaking sight.

"Do you think I am too old to be your sister?"

"No, no, no!"

This was a death trap.

Kyohiko dared not agree.

He waved his hands hurriedly.

"I was just thinking, if you are my sister, then how does that leave things with my teacher? It feels very messy!"

"That doesn't conflict. If Jiraiya has an opinion, tell him to come find me. If you suffer any grievances from him, come find me too!"

Tsunade leaned against the wooden frame.

She tilted her head, looked at the rustic house, and then smiled.

"You said before that you want to be Hokage, right?"

"Yes!"

If Sarutobi can sit in the seat of Hokage, why can't I?

With the Hokage System, if I don't become Hokage, what is the difference between me and a salted fish!

Kyohiko's goal was firm.

Tsunade laughed: "Then you must work hard. I am vying for the Fourth Hokage, so when the time comes, you must work hard for the position of Fifth, and strive to take over from me as soon as possible!"

"Are you really going to compete for it?"

Kyohiko was both surprised and delighted.

Tsunade let out a low chuckle.

"I am just saying it. Do you think someone like me can be Hokage as I am now?"

"You can!"

Kyohiko said decisively.

Tsunade was stunned.

She smiled gently: "Don't just try to comfort me."

"How could I? Our generation grew up listening to your stories from a young age. Furthermore..."

Kyohiko hesitated for a moment before speaking his mind, "I think you might want to look at it from a different angle."

"You little brat, what kind of ideas do you have now?"

Tsunade looked at Kyohiko.

After hearing his words earlier, she had gone to slam the conference room table.

What was it this time?

Kyohiko said, "Since your hemophobia isn't innate, it's an acquired condition. Since it's a sickness, why haven't you tried to treat it?"

"Treat it?"

Tsunade was slightly stunned, then couldn't help but laugh dryly, "It's not that simple..."

"I've been reading about genjutsu these past few days, and it mentions that there are techniques within genjutsu that affect emotions. Logically, there should be medicines that can influence emotions as well. If you could be a bit happier every day, perhaps many psychological ailments would heal faster."

"Emotions."

As the foremost expert in the medical field, Tsunade certainly knew that there were indeed some medicinal herbs that could have a positive effect on one's mood.

However.

She had never before thought of using them to treat psychological disorders.

Therefore.

The finished products for this type of medication were non-existent.

She pondered for a long time.

"It could be attempted, but the problem is that the risks are high, and conducting experiments is quite difficult."

"Try it on ninja beasts first?"

Kyohiko offered his suggestion.

Ninja beasts possessed higher intelligence and could communicate, so they should be more suitable for this type of experiment.

Tsunade shook her head.

It wasn't that easy.

At the very least, one would need to target the symptoms to determine if the method was truly effective, and besides...

"Even if it were effective, what use would it be?"

"I think we aren't the only ones who have lost loved ones in this war, right? Some people can self-regulate and find release, but there are others who might be unable to, like... my comrade Kakashi."

Kyohiko finally brought up Kakashi.

Hatake Sakumo, Kakashi.

Tsunade was lost in thought. She rested her head on her hand while looking at Kyohiko, then stood up.

"I have a pile of work right now, so let's consider this later. By the way, this bag of Military Ration Pills isn't just for you. Take some for yourself, and consider the rest a little interest for Jiraiya. Give them to him for me tomorrow."

"Oh, understood."

So, they weren't all mine.

That settled that.

Kyohiko's mood instantly became much more indifferent.

The next day, Konoha Hokage Building.

Many ninja had heard the commotion from yesterday, and inside the building today, quite a few people were whispering and speculating about what exactly had happened.

Among them was Tatsu Hamano.

He was engaged in a heated discussion with a nearby chunin, exploring the matter.

Kyohiko entered with Jiraiya and quickly heard their hushed tones.

He stepped forward quickly.

After listening for a few seconds, he lowered his voice.

"So, who exactly did it?"

"Need you ask? It definitely had to be Lady Tsunade who smashed it! Lord Jiraiya is very unserious, but he doesn't have that kind of temper; he just likes to do some..."

Tatsu Hamano said in a low voice.

However.

Soon, he noticed the atmosphere seemed off; the entire room was deathly silent.

Tatsu Hamano looked up and instantly turned to stone.

Standing right in front of him was Jiraiya, and behind him, Tsunade had a dark face, her gaze also very unfriendly, looking as if she were about to kill someone.

His legs went weak, and he nearly buckled at the knees, but fortunately, he caught himself on the table just in time.

Kyohiko retreated behind the two of them, hiding his merit and fame.

"Lord Jiraiya, Lady, Lady Tsunade!"

Tsunade was clearly the one who inspired more fear.

Because Tsunade really dared to strike, and in everyone's impression, she could heal people after beating them, so there might not even be sick leave.

Tatsu Hamano immediately bowed deeply: "I'm sorry!"

Tsunade's expression was cold as she went upstairs alone. The few Chunin who had been chatting with him immediately disappeared, leaving Tatsu Hamano bewildered.

Kurenai Yuhi covered her mouth, suppressing a laugh.

Jiraiya tapped his fingers on the table.

"Tatsu, you'd better be careful in Konoha from now on."

Tatsu Hamano gritted his teeth.

"Lord Jiraiya, I'll never dare to do it again."

"I don't care, hehe, alright, alright, get me sorted. Has that commission from the Matsuyama family arrived yet?"

Jiraiya said.

Tatsu Hamano's attitude was excellent, and he immediately started searching.

A moment later.

"Yes, Mr. Ichiro Matsuyama has arrived and is in the side hall."

As he spoke, he produced the commission order.

"Here is the commission."

"Good."

Jiraiya took the document and walked next door.

Inside the Konoha building, in the first-floor side hall.

A middle-aged man sat in a seat, with a young Jonin beside him. Seeing Jiraiya and the others, he quickly ended his conversation, greeted them, and left.

Judging by his appearance, he should be Nara Shikaku.

"Lord Jiraiya, my name is Ichiro Matsuyama."

"Pleasure to meet you. If there's nothing else, shall we depart now?"

"Could you wait a moment? I have a shipment of goods to purchase from the Nara family and sell in the Land of Waves."

Ichiro Matsuyama said.

"Then when will we depart?"

"This afternoon."

"Alright."
