Starting Today, I Have No More Weaknesses!

The procedure was performed again.

Tsunade saw those images, she was still agitated and saddened, but she seemed much better than before, no longer losing control and destroying the Genjutsu.

This time it will definitely work!

That was her original thought, but then familiar faces began to die one after another before her eyes...

Tsunade was still somewhat difficult to control.

Fortunately, it didn't get out of control.

"It's time."

Kurenai Yuhi quickly Hand Seals.

The reversed Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique reveals the beauty within one's heart...

She drew up her Chakra, Hand Seals, raised her hand high, and pressed it with difficulty onto Tsunade's forehead.

This procedure requires contact, preferably with the forehead.

Because this is the location closest to the brain and emotions.

She carefully controlled her Chakra, superficially disrupting Tsunade's mind and Chakra, guiding it in the desired direction and pattern.

At the same time, Tsunade found that the illusion in front of her suddenly froze, turning into two completely different scenes on the left and right.

On one side is the scene of Dan Katō's death.

On the other side is Nawaki.

what happened?

Tsunade was surprised, and then the two people in front of her struggled to their feet.

They seemed to have come back to life.

Tsunade.

"Elder sister!"

One was gentle, the other waved vigorously, just as lively as I remembered.

Even within the illusion, Tsunade's vision remained blurry.

"You..."

She never imagined that she would see them again one day.

"Broken, Nawaki!"

Although she knew perfectly well that this was an illusion, and that it was all just a hallucination generated from her own memories, she was still incredibly excited.

"Hahaha, you want to compete for the Hokage? Very good."

"Sister, you must become Hokage and help us continue on this path!"

The two figures overlapped, and finally the voices faded into the distance, gradually turning into fleeting images and disappearing.

They disappeared again.

Tsunade stood still.

Genjutsu.

It was all just an illusion.

However, she felt very peaceful inside.

Yes!

The departed...

It's all gone now!

But I can carry their dreams and make Konoha a better place!

Tsunade smiled.

It's all over now.

She waved reluctantly to the illusory, empty surroundings, as if saying goodbye to them who had vanished, and to the past.

In the end, she broke the Genjutsu herself.

Kurenai Yuhi was panting, a hint of guilt on her face.

"I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade, this is my first time trying this technique, and it's very unstable."

She lowered her head.

As the one who guided the Genjutsu, Tsunade knew that the Genjutsu had lost its effect when her Chakra returned to normal.

Tsunade wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I want to thank you."

"Ah?"

Kurenai Yuhi looked up, her eyes showing surprise.

Tsunade smiled and said, "I saw them again. They said they wanted me to carry on their dreams, govern the village well, and become the great Hokage."

After saying that, she draped her green robe over her shoulder.

The Genjutsu seen are actually what one thinks, but Tsunade is willing to believe that her loved ones on the other side think the same way.

She looked outside.

At this moment, the moon has already risen, and the stars flicker uncertainly in the still-lit night sky.

Tell me, do I have any reason to back down?

"Lady Tsunade..."

Kurenai Yuhi murmured softly.

Tsunade was incredibly charming at that moment; even she, being a woman herself, couldn't help but be attracted to her.

Tsunade was full of vigor and enthusiasm.

"From today onwards, I will have no weaknesses!"

Then, she looked at Kurenai Yuhi and smiled, "Kurenai, you actually came up with such a technique. It must be Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique, right?"

"Yes, Kyohiko reminded me that since Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique see the fear in one's heart, he must also be able to develop a technique that can see the beauty in one's heart. So I went to ask my father for advice."

Kurenai Yuhi did not claim credit for the work.

As Jonin Genjutsu, her father, Kurenai's Father, was certainly above her level, so creating Ninjutsu like this wouldn't be difficult for him.

After all, the Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique is only of C-rank difficulty.

The reason no one creates it is actually because it's not very useful.

Can seeing the beauty within our hearts help us defeat our enemies?

This will probably make the enemy laugh themselves to death!

However.

Everything can have a completely different effect if viewed from a different perspective.

Tsunade sighed.

"It's a very good technique, but it needs to be used strategically and shouldn't be overused!"

You mean...?

Kurenai Yuhi understood Tsunade's meaning.

Beautiful Genjutsu can alleviate negative emotions, but they can also easily lead people to become addicted to illusory beauty.

"Yes! If I could see them Tenten, even I..."

Tsunade sighed.

Then, she couldn't help but laugh, "Luckily, your Genjutsu aren't that advanced yet. If it were Kurama Clan had awakened their Kekkei Genkai, even I might have fallen for them."

The Kurama Clan controls the five senses.

Then it really wouldn't be possible to tell them apart.

"Then this technique..."

"Would you like to continue your research? Perhaps it's a good start."

Tsunade said.

Genjutsu —something she and Kyohiko had indeed overlooked before.

What could be more effective at affecting emotions than Genjutsu?

She smiled and said, "The future of the Psychology Department might just be in your hands, Hong. Would you like to be my student?"

"Ah?!!!"

Kurenai Yuhi unconsciously widened her eyes.

Her face showed shock and disbelief.

"Me? Can I really do it?"

"Although you, like Shizune, may not be able to fully master my techniques, you should have no problem grasping most of them. Moreover, given your expertise in Genjutsu, you might be able to forge a different path."

Tsunade's expression was serious.

Kurenai Yuhi nodded emphatically. "I will, Lady Tsunade!"

"Um?"

"Yes, Teacher!"

"Haha, very good! Anyway, your team won't be on any missions until Kyohiko's appointment is finalized. You'll be working with me at the hospital during this time, and I'll personally guide you."

"Yes!"

Konoha's Anbu base.

Danzo in his seat, holding a scroll in his hand.

This is Aburame Tatsuma's statement.

After reading it, he looked down.

"Interesting!"

At only eight years old, he already possessed strength comparable to Jonin, and his judgment and response to information in battle were simply perfect.

A genius even stronger Kakashi!

If he continues to grow, he could definitely become a very sharp blade, comparable to White Fang back then.

"Hiruzen, heh, how could I let you have such a genius? He's mine!"

Danzo sneered.

He thought for a moment and then had an idea in mind.

"I understand. You don't need to follow up on this; I'll arrange for someone else to do it."

"Yes!"

Aburame Tatsuma breathed a sigh of relief.

fine.

No punishment was imposed!

He hesitated slightly, then added, "Furthermore, I have received new information that Jiraiya seems to have left the village with Kyohiko Yoshimine and Kakashi."

"Oh?"

Danzo squinted, then nodded. "Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

Aburame Tatsuma bowed respectfully, then stepped back and left.

"Um."

Danzo, destroyed the scroll in his hand, and then walked towards the laboratory inside the base.

Jiraiya is a good candidate to send Orochimaru's disciple.

That guy is definitely interested in children with the Senju Bloodline, and as for Jiraiya's whereabouts, he's certain the other party won't find any evidence!

At night, Kyohiko, Kakashi, and Jiraiya ran wildly through the forest.

During the day, Kyohiko originally wanted to find Jiraiya to explain the Anbu attack on him, but he couldn't find him after searching for a long time.

As evening approached, Jiraiya came to find them, bringing with him a temporary mission assignment.

"Red is too slow, and as you said, she's dealing with Tsunade's problems, so she's not suitable to participate in this operation."

Jiraiya said.

"Teacher, what exactly is this task? It's so sudden!"

Kyohiko quickly followed.

Jiraiya ran incredibly fast.

Do you remember the Uzumaki Clan from Kusagakure?

"Yes."

Kyohiko nodded.

How could I forget?

He had been waiting for Minato's feedback, but so far, the promised windfall hadn't arrived. He was starting to worry that Minato might have had an accident on the way, or that the Uzumaki girl might not want to come to Konoha.

Judging from Jiraiya's expression, there seems to be another reason.

Kakashi didn't say anything.

He has always been --

Follow orders and complete the mission!

Although things are slightly different now, it's hard to change one's inherent personality; at most, one might just value companions a little more.

They were being pursued.

Jiraiya a brief reply, then quickly explained the situation.

Yuzuki Uzumaki was indeed reluctant to come to Konoha, but Minato had no intention of listening to her. Instead, he planned to take everyone back first and settle them in Konoha before making any further decisions.

It's far too dangerous for the Uzumaki Clan to wander outside.

But halfway there, they were attacked.

Even Minato- senpai wasn't a match for him?

"If it were just Minato alone, I wouldn't be afraid, but they're a team, and they're also bringing along a girl who's not good at fighting, isn't on the same page, and needs someone to take care of her, so it's a different story."

Jiraiya's expression was very unpleasant.

"But how could ninjas from other villages suddenly enter the Land of Land of Fire?!"

"Teacher, the reason I came to see you today was to talk about this."

Kyohiko ran and talked, giving a general account of what had happened that day.

Jiraiya was furious.

Danzo death!

When he heard the news, he suspected that Minato was behind the attack on Minato and his Danzo, but he had no evidence.

result.

That old man...

Jiraiya was enraged, his gaze carrying a hint of predatory intent.

He hadn't expected so many things to happen recently, and all of them involved his disciples.

Jiraiya's gaze was icy.

Shimura Danzō!

"Teacher, you..."

Kakashi hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.

Although he disliked Danzo's methods, now that Danzo was the leader of the Anbu, did he have any reason to turn against his own people?

Jiraiya turned his head.

He sighed softly, "Kakashi, you don't understand. Danzo... he never gives up until he achieves his goal."

"I don't know much about it."

Kakashi answered and remained silent, then focused on his journey.

He couldn't imagine that someone from Konoha would attack their own villager for their own purposes.

this...

That's terrifying!

Kyohiko also looked "greatly shocked".

Jiraiya's tone softened slightly.

"You don't need to worry about this. I'll speak to the Third Hokage after this matter is resolved."

"Yes!"

Kyohiko and Kakashi were too inexperienced to have any say in Danzo.

Jiraiya.

If it were just him alone, he probably wouldn't be able to accomplish anything, but now that he has Tsunade as an aid, he has gained some confidence.

In addition, Tsunade is seeking psychological treatment.

Once she recovers, she will have no weaknesses left and will not be vulnerable to attack by the enemy.

While Jiraiya was pondering and thinking, Kyohiko was also considering how to retaliate.

Taking beatings isn't his style.

There's a lot of dirt on Danzo; is there anything we can use?

Human experimentation?

Judging by the timeline, they should have already conducted human trials on Hashirama Cells and have a successful experimental subject by now.

but.

This secret is probably unknown even to the third generation, so his rash revelation is inexplicable.

Danzo, currently enjoying the trust of the Third Hokage, seems truly invincible.

Kyohiko frowned. "Teacher, I don't think that even if Danzo did it this time, he would leave no evidence. The Third Hokage might not remove Danzo for such a trivial matter."

"I understand, but there's no better way."

Jiraiya sighed.

So, he was also thinking about what to do.

Kyohiko said, "Otherwise, we won't go to see Lord Sandai."

"Um?"

Jiraiya was stunned.

Not looking for three generations?

Then find...

He suddenly understood what Kyohiko meant and stood there dumbfounded.

Not seeking out the Third Hokage means doing things my own way!

"Public opinion is also a weapon."

Kyohiko said in a low voice.

Jiraiya remained silent.

Doing so would undoubtedly escalate the situation, and aside from damaging the prestige of Danzo and the Third Hokage, it wouldn't do much to resolve the issue itself.

Is it really okay?

He hesitated, unable to make a decision easily.

Kakashi couldn't help but think of his father.

Yes!

Back then, a group of people who knew about my father's situation kept criticizing him, which ultimately led to my father's suicide.

Public opinion is like a knife.

Used properly, it can be more terrifying than killing someone outright!

He stood silently beside Kyohiko and Jiraiya, listening and thinking intently, and felt he had gained a great deal.

"I can't make a decision. Let's deal with the Minato issue first. Once they're safe, everything else will be easier to discuss."

Jiraiya ultimately hesitated.

Then, he had the little Toad guide them, leading Kyohiko and the others on a mad dash forward.

"Um."

Kyohiko did not insist.

Konoha is not ruled by the Senju, but it passes down the "Will of Fire" through the master-disciple relationship.

Jiraiya and the Third Hokage were master and student. The Third Hokage even once considered making Jiraiya the Hokage. It was indeed a difficult decision to ask Jiraiya to do such a thing.

Until midnight.

They traveled from Konoha to a valley in the Land of Fire.

"They escaped here; I sensed the presence of Toad Light!"

"Okay, lead the way."

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief.

At least for now, Minato shouldn't be in any trouble.

However, this location is quite close to the borders of the Land of Iron and the Land of Fields, and there is always the possibility of enemy ninjas appearing.

just in case...

Jiraiya frowned.

"We need to speed things up!"

"Yes!"

Both Kyohiko and Kakashi are known for their speed, and now that the weighted scrolls have been removed, their speed is no longer limited.

Jiraiya sped forward, and they could barely keep up.

Soon, Kyohiko heard the faint clanging of Ninja Tools.

Jiraiya heard it too.

He immediately looked towards the foot of the mountain.

"There!"

The three of them swallowed the Military Ration Pill together.

Whoosh!

In Body Flicker Technique, the speed of all three increased dramatically, but Jiraiya clearly faster, having already created some distance between them, leaving behind a Shadow Clone.

then...

Its true form vanished in an instant.

Wow, so fast!

Kyohiko sighed inwardly.

"Physical differences can't be overcome by skill, kid. You still have a long way to go!"

Jiraiya's Shadow Clone chuckled.

Kakashi remained silent for a moment.

This Shadow Clone has a rather unique personality!

But Kyohiko knew.

This is Jiraiya's true nature.

He quickly followed.

Soon, several people emerged from the forest, all dressed in black and completely covered, making it impossible to discern their faces.

"Kill!"

Kakashi's gaze sharpened, and his figure vanished in a flash.

The next moment, he drew his sword and brought it down from above one of the men.

The opponent used Kunai to defend himself.

Choke!

A crisp sound.

The Kunai was severed, White Fang short sword sliced across his throat.

On the other side.

Boom!

Kyohiko punched one of them away, then immediately sheathed his sword to block an attack from the side.

The opponent wielded the knife with both hands and swung it again, but then Kyohiko formed a hand Hand Seals with one hand, and immediately a Shadow Clone appeared.

He immediately sensed something was wrong, so he retreated, Hand Seals, and clapped his hands together, preparing to disappear underground.

At that moment, clatter!

The ground cracked.

A pair of hands grabbed his feet and pulled him down.

Earth Style: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!

Seeing an opportunity, Kyohiko immediately Body Flicker Technique forward, lowered his body, and Hand Seals.

Immediately, he placed his palm on the other person's forehead, continuously channeling the chakra of the Senjutsu Chakra into the other person's body.

Soon, the other person fell into a coma, powerless.

"Great teamwork!"

Jiraiya's voice came from underground, and then he pulled the other person down.

Kyohiko was slightly out of breath.

He had been running wildly in the middle of the night and had used several energy-consuming Ninjutsu techniques, so he was quite exhausted.

Fortunately, the enemy didn't seem to retreat this way anymore, but changed their location, which means Jiraiya must have arrived by now.

In that instant of relaxation...

From the side, an eagle swooped down from above.

Kakashi immediately moved closer to him.

However, before he could get to his aid, Kyohiko had already cut the enemy down with a single strike.

Above?

He looked up and saw a giant bird flash by overhead.

"Someone has sent a message from heaven."

Kakashi also witnessed this scene. "No wonder they were able to follow Minato- senpai all the way here."

"No, I think it could also be about driving them away."

Kyohiko answered.

He then followed the sound deeper into the area.

A short while later, he found Jiraiya and the others. At that moment, Minato Namikaze was leaning against the Cave, seemingly unconscious.

Kyohiko Body Flicker Technique.

"Teacher, what's going on?"

"The injuries aren't too serious, mostly exhaustion, but one of the Ninja Hound is injured. Do you know how to treat it?"

Jiraiya turned back.

He had heard about Kyohiko and knew that the kid had even taught himself Medical Ninjutsu.

Kyohiko entered the Cave.

That's terrible!

Of the four people, two were unconscious. Only Gaku Inuzuka, who was protecting Yuzuki Uzumaki, and another person remained unharmed. The third person...

Kyohiko searched for quite a while before noticing Shibi Aburame in the shadows behind Jiraiya.

That's really well hidden!

Please help Zongwan!

Gaku Inuzuka was nervous and anxious, his tone tinged with pleading.

To them, Ninja Hound are not animals, but partners and comrades they cannot abandon.

I tried my best.

Kyohiko quickly went to Zongwan's side, first using Chakra to infuse it into its blood, and then examining its entire body through the wounds.

He then breathed a sigh of relief, "Muscle injuries and fractures shouldn't involve poison or internal organs. The unconsciousness is probably due to excessive Chakra depletion; I can save him."

If internal organs are involved, there could be internal bleeding, so Kyohiko's only option is to save his life.

no way.

Although he has reached the "proficient" level in Mystical Palm Technique, Kyohiko is still only a novice in terms of medical skills. He can only provide emergency care and cannot truly serve as Medical Ninja.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Gaku Inuzuka was overjoyed.

Then, Kyohiko Hand Seals and extracted Chakra, pressing it onto the Ninja Hound's left foreleg.

Zongwan's injuries healed rapidly.

Kyohiko inquired for a moment.

Vital signs are stable!

"Give me a Military Ration Pill, and you help me open its mouth."

"Yes."

Gaku Inuzuka immediately handed it over, and soon, Kyohiko used Chakra to create water and manipulated the Military Ration Pill to send it into the belly of the Zongwan.

A short while later.

"Waaah!"

A low hum.

Gaku Inuzuka was overjoyed and quickly thanked them, while on the other side, Jiraiya's Shadow Clone also caught the unconscious attacker.

More information can be found from living organisms.

Shibi Aburame investigated further...

"Lord Jiraiya, there's a Curse Mark on his tongue."
