Konoha Hospital.

A large crowd had gathered outside the operating room.

What are you doing?

Biwako Sarutobi glanced around, then looked at the operating room, a hint of helplessness on her face.

This Tsunade...

They were all in a meeting, and yet something still happened!

She had naturally heard about it.

Tsunade brought a person who had lost their Medical Ninja abilities into the operating room, saying that they needed to undergo stimulation and adaptation treatment.

Isn't this ridiculous?

She sighed softly.

"Stop crowding around, disperse!"

"Yes!"

Although Biwako Sarutobi wasn't the hospital director, she held a high position in the hospital and was also the Hokage's wife, so no one dared to disobey her.

Just as they were about to disperse, the operating room door opened, and Tsunade's Shadow Clone walked out. Seeing the commotion, she immediately smiled and asked, "Everyone's here?"

"Tsunade, you're being too reckless!"

Biwako Sarutobi reprimanded in a low voice.

Tsunade chuckled, lowered her head, and whispered, "Denji's made his move!"

"What?"

Biwako Sarutobi was stunned for a moment, finding it hard to believe her ears.

Tsunade had no choice but to repeat it.

Soon after, Jaji followed behind.

She finished up the work and stepped forward to vouch for Tsunade.

"Teacher, Denji participated in the entire treatment process, and according to observation, his abilities have met the standards for returning to the team."

"It's still early, he still needs treatment!"

Tsunade immediately stopped her.

Goodness!

He's just recovered, and he already wants to poach people from headquarters?

How heartless!

She looked displeased, while Jaji chuckled and shrank to the side without making a sound.

Biwako Sarutobi asked, "Is it really working?"

"Hmm, his Chakra Scalpel is incredibly precise, and his incisions are swift and accurate. No wonder he's Medical Ninja from the battlefield."

Jaji's tone was filled with admiration.

Biwako Sarutobi seemed somewhat dazed, and unconsciously replied, "Of course, back then, he was the best among Medical Ninja, able to perform surgery even in the most difficult treatment environments..."

She couldn't help but look at Tsunade.

At first, she thought Tsunade was just fooling around, but now it seems that the other party has a process and plan, and may have really mastered the treatment methods for these diseases before daring to do it.

The onlookers were even more excited than she was, and they surrounded Tsunade's Shadow Clone, asking her questions.

Tsunade, intending to promote the topic, made no attempt to hide anything, giving a general explanation of "mental illness" and recounting her own medical treatment process.

Most of those present were hospital staff.

They may not understand psychotherapy, but they do understand healing. Tsunade's words were well-organized and didn't seem like she was lying.

only...

Why didn't Denji come out?

Everyone looked into the operating room.

The patient has been taken to the ward on a stretcher.

As he was pondering this, Denji leaned against the wall and walked out, taking off his surgical gown as he went. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, and there were traces of tears on his face.

Upon seeing everyone, he immediately stood up straight, his expression resolute.

"Lord Biwako, Lady Tsunade, the Medical Ninja Denji requests to return to the hospital!"

"Permit!"

Biwako Sarutobi's cheeks trembled.

When Tsunade fully returned, she was shocked and happy, delighted that Tsunade had overcome her nightmares, and believed that this was another miracle created by Tsunade.

Everyone was deeply moved and full of admiration.

Because she is Tsunade, her abilities and will are as strong as steel.

Everyone thinks so, including Biwako Sarutobi.

Now, Denji has proven that Tsunade's theories and methods can be replicated, and are not entirely a reflection of her personal abilities and will.

This is a treatment method!

Many similar ninjas are saved!

Overwhelmed with emotion, Biwako Sarutobi patted Denji on the shoulder, then grasped Tsunade's hand, speechless for a long time.

As Medical Ninja, nothing is more joyful than witnessing such a scene!

After a long while, she faced the crowd.

Stop crowding around, get to work!

"Yes!"

Konoha isn't small, but it's not very big either.

News of the hospital visit quickly spread throughout the village.

Initially, the information was relayed truthfully. Tsunade successfully saved Denji using her unique and systematic medical methods, and Denji has now participated in one surgery.

but.

Later on, Tsunade used a single technique, and all of Denji's ailments disappeared.

And then later--

"Have you heard? When Denji heard about Lady Tsunade's deeds, he immediately recovered from his illness and went straight back to the hospital."

Who is Denji?

"That guy who carries water all day, the one with scars on his face and hands, he used to be Medical Ninja, didn't you know?"

Oh, him!

Jonin is too far away, nobody knows him.

The Denji are different.

He used to be Medical Ninja, and later he often did D-rank missions, so he interacted with a lot of people and was quite well-known among the elderly.

These are precisely the main forces behind the spread of information on the streets and alleys.

Inside the Hokage Building's conference room.

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained the situation and then looked at the four people.

"You are all high-ranking members and decision-makers in the village, so please share your thoughts."

That's what they say--

In reality, his attention was mostly focused on Tsunade and Jiraiya.

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood this very well.

As former comrades-in-arms, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura would definitely side with Danzo, so he specifically asked Tsunade and Jiraiya to come over, wanting to hear a different perspective.

"Danzo..."

Jiraiya frowned.

Is this guy's appearance in Kyoto specifically to deal with the "wandering ninja"?

Something just doesn't feel right.

Tsunade said, "Danzo acts rashly, but I don't believe he would betray us."

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura breathed a sigh of relief.

They had thought Tsunade would take this opportunity to kick Danzo while he was down, but to their surprise, Tsunade was quite fair and acknowledged Danzo's loyalty.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya.

"And you?"

"Uh, I think..."

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think it would be better to send the information here to Minato first, so that he can make preparations. Besides, perhaps he has some new information from last night."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly after hearing this.

"Okay, you can contact them now."

Danzo's matter cannot be taken lightly.

In particular, he had Kyohiko and Shibi Aburame Shiki destroy Danzo's secret base, Hiruzen Sarutobi's understanding of Danzo—

Danzo now is probably trying to find a way to continue implementing his "Root" ideology.

Jiraiya went out to communicate with spirits and make connections.

Hiruzen Sarutobi the table.

"Secondly, among the wandering ninja who made contact with the Feudal Lord, there is a high possibility that there are spies from Iwagakure. Currently, two children are staying with the Feudal Lord. What are your thoughts on this?"

"They must be eliminated!"

Mitokado Homura.

Tsunade sneered, "Senior, don't forget, they are now the Feudal Lord's handpicked ' Guardian Ninja.' Attacking them is equivalent to attacking the Feudal Lord's subordinates. Are you going to take responsibility for that?"

Mitokado Homura opened his mouth to argue, but after glancing at Utatane Koharu and Hiruzen Sarutobi, he obediently shut his mouth.

Such a huge responsibility, you want him to shoulder it?

Are you kidding me?

Utatane Koharu, did not answer.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the two of them, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this outcome.

"Tsunade, what's your opinion?"

"Lord Hokage, please handle this matter with care."

Tsunade uttered a seemingly pointless statement with a straight face.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a moment.

Kids grow up, they're not so easy to fool anymore!

The Tsunade of the past would never have hesitated to speak her mind, but now, Tsunade has learned to hide her thoughts, becoming more composed and reserved, which makes her more like a qualified Hokage.

He felt both gratified and disappointed.

The new generation pushes the old one aside.

Perhaps I really should make room for myself.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "In my opinion..."

He was about to speak when the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang.

Jiraiya hurriedly entered, his expression grave.

"Jiraiya, why are you still so clumsy?"

Utatane Koharu.

Jiraiya rolled his eyes slightly.

Is this time of day and you're still being impatient?

He immediately exclaimed, "Teacher, something terrible has happened! Danzo! He has volunteered to become the Feudal Lord's Guardian Ninja, citing the need to protect the Feudal Lord!"

"What?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi jumped to his feet, his face showing undisguised shock.

He never expected Danzo to pull this stunt!

Guardian Ninja.

This guy...

How could he even think of that!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand trembled slightly, and he finally lost his composure.

Utatane Koharu Mitokado Homura were even more astonished, saying, "Impossible! How could Danzo possibly have memorized it..."

They were about to speak when they suddenly stopped in terror.

betray?

This is not betrayal.

The Land of Fire and Konoha are one entity; in fact, in a sense, Konoha is controlled by the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire, and they have a superior-subordinate relationship.

Danzo simply left Konoha and went to serve the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire.

but.

From their perspective, Danzo was tantamount to betrayal.

Hiruzen Sarutobi ashen.

His lips trembled, and after a long while, he looked at Jiraiya: "Absolutely accurate?"

"Yes, and also, Minato is asking if he needs to stay by the Feudal Lord's side to protect Feudal Lord safety."

Jiraiya said.

"No!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi his hand.

He was very confused, but instinctively felt that he couldn't leave the Minato there.

Minato was no Danzo.

He took a deep breath and looked at Jiraiya.

"What about those two children named Kazuma and Takemasa?"

"They've been taken into custody. Danzo brought a Yamanaka Clan ninja with him and invited Minato to join the interrogation. They seem unaware of the situation so far, but Motohashi 've instructed them that the Land of Fire should be ruled by the Feudal Lord, and there shouldn't be Hokage."

Jiraiya answered.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Danzo went to Kyoto, it was only to implement his own ideals, and he currently has no intention of opposing Konoha or destroying Konoha.

Secondly, those two children did indeed come with a mission.

Feudal Lord, Hokage.

They want to provoke conflict between the two sides!

After pondering for a long time, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Let Minato come back. Although Danzo has gone to the Feudal Lord's side, for the time being, his goal is the same as ours."

"But..."

Tsunade's expression changed slightly.

Danzo left because of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Leaving Danzo near the Feudal Lord poses a significant threat to Konoha!

Utatane Koharu said, "Tsunade, we understand your concerns, but Danzo is now the Feudal Lord's Guardian Ninja. We can't just take action directly, can we?"

Tsunade fell silent.

After going around in circles, I unexpectedly found myself back at the starting point.

However, Danzo is a greater and more terrifying threat than those two children!

Mitokado Homura coughed lightly and said, "Although Danzo disagrees with our political views, his goal is still for the prosperity of the Land of Fire and Konoha, and that will not change."

I hope so.

Tsunade suppressed her emotions, appeared calm again, and sat down.

Utatane Koharu.

In the past, the conference room table would probably have been destroyed...

She thought to herself.

Hiruzen Sarutobi a breath.

"After a while, I'll go talk to the Feudal Lord and Danzo, and then we'll draw up some rules and see what he really means."

He then sat down, sounding exhausted.

"Let's adjourn the meeting."

"Hiruzen..."

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked worried.

Hiruzen Sarutobi his hand. "I'm fine. Please keep these two matters confidential for now."

"Yes!"

The five people dispersed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked to the door.

A breeze blew through the corridor, bringing a sliver of clarity to his hazy mind.

Then he heard whispers coming from below.

"Has Denji recovered?"

"Yes! This disease is called Post-War Stress Syndrome. It was incurable before, but after Lady Tsunade recovered through willpower last time, she felt that there was a way to cure it. She has been working on it diligently recently, and finally, she has made some progress."

"As expected of Lady Tsunade!"

"Thank goodness Lady Tsunade is back. I thought Lady Tsunade 'd left the village..."

There are just too many people discussing it.

Even though everyone lowered their voices, the others could still hear them.

Hiruzen Sarutobi slightly taken aback.

Just then, someone came up from downstairs and they met in the hallway.

Biwako?

"Hiruzen, this is the formal application I'm submitting on behalf of the hospital."

Biwako Sarutobi presented a document.

Hiruzen Sarutobi it and nodded slightly. "Let's talk in the office."

"Um."

The two entered the office.

I've finished watching Hiruzen Sarutobi I had some free time.

In essence, most of the Konoha Hospital agreed to the establishment of the "Psychology Department" and were willing to provide short-term resource assistance to help it be established quickly, hoping to gain Psychology Department 'Konoha cooperation.

He put the documents aside.

Tsunade came to the meeting and quietly orchestrated something big.

Amazing!

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled silently.

Next.

He turned around, his expression solemn.

How should we cooperate?

"Genjutsu ninjas, the Yamanaka Clan, and secondly, the village itself provides a list of ninjas facing this predicament. Tsunade needs to select a group of patients with strong willpower."

Biwako Sarutobi answered.

Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although he was unaware of Tsunade's subsequent research, he had read her earlier theories.

In the early stages of the Psychology Department, individuals with strong willpower are less likely to experience a loss of control and deterioration during the treatment process.

Tsunade was still rational and didn't blindly expand the scope.

As for the Genjutsu ninjas and the help from the Yamanaka Clan...

Biwako, as his wife, knew Hiruzen Sarutobi all too well.

Seeing his expression, she knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was definitely pondering something. She said, "You want to ask about the role of Genjutsu ninjas and the Yamanaka Clan, right? Genjutsu is the medical field that Tsunade discovered, and she named it the Nirvana Technique."

"To be reborn from adversity?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly.

He then bent down and took a document from the cabinet.

"This is the list."

"Hey, it's rare to see you so straightforward. By the way, I'm planning to celebrate Asuma officially becoming Genin today. Remember to Shinnosuke and the others back for dinner too."

Biwako Sarutobi Road.

After a moment of stunned silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid... it's not possible today."

"Again? Okay, what about you?"

He probably doesn't want to see me.

"That's what Hiruzen Sarutobi said."

Biwako Sarutobi rolled her eyes. "Old fogey, I think you're the one who should be seeing Tsunade!"

She turned and left in an annoyed manner.

Kyohiko family.

Tsunade, unusually, left her work to her Shadow Clone and went to his residence alone with a bottle of sake.

"Sister, congratulations! The Psychology Department has been established; one of your wishes has come true."

Kyohiko glanced at the system notification.

[Thanks to your efforts, the Psychology Department was established, and many ninjas suffering from mental illnesses will benefit from it, once again becoming the backbone of Konoha.]

[Reward: Increased Strength Enhancement Technique, Proficient in Genjutsu Nirvana Technique: Nirvana]

Double reward?

While Kyohiko was happy for Tsunade, he was also genuinely happy for himself.

All the hard work finally paid off!

Unfortunately, the current situation is not suitable for a deep understanding of the two Ninjutsu.

He suppressed his excitement.

However, Tsunade burst into laughter.

"Haha, this wouldn't have been possible without your help. You're so full of clever ideas; I, on the other hand, couldn't come up with so many solutions. Hey, Old Man..."

She laughed and laughed, but then put down her wine glass and finally sighed softly.

Kyohiko realized that Tsunade might have something on her mind. If she was simply celebrating, given her personality, she would probably go out with Jiraiya, Shizune, and others, and wouldn't go out for drinks with him alone.

After all, he was still a minor, so Tsunade to drink alone in silence.

Tsunade drank a full cup.

"The person you sensed, according to intelligence, is Danzo."

"Danzo?"

Kyohiko was initially surprised, but then he felt there was nothing to be surprised about, as if...

As expected.

After all, he initially suspected that the people from the Feudal Lord's Mansion might be from Danzo, but later found that he had misjudged them.

but.

Danzo had the motive to do so.

But after this incident, shouldn't Hiruzen Sarutobi be the one who's heartbroken?

What does this have to do with Tsunade?

He was puzzled for a while, and then thought about it carefully for a long time before he understood.

"Because of Orochimaru?"

"Huh? Ha, how could I possibly..."

Tsunade forced a smile, then put down her wine glass. "Why did you guess Orochimaru?"

"I know Jiraiya- Teacher's situation very well. He might get caught doing something like that, or he might write some strange books based on his experience, but it's unlikely he'll go down the same path as Danzo."

Kyohiko answered calmly.

Tsunade sighed, "Yes, Orochimaru... He's like you, very intelligent from a young age, quick to learn, and full of curiosity about Ninjutsu, wanting to explore the essence of all Ninjutsu."

She swirled her wine glass.

"Danzo's matter, although he didn't say it, I know he was the one helping him behind the scenes."

help...

Is it related to Root?

Kyohiko immediately thought of "A's" mission.

Danzo the matter of "A" a closely guarded secret; even Orochimaru, the original Orochimaru, was unaware that his experiments had any survivors. From this perspective...

Orochimaru went to investigate the Root specifically for Tsunade's sake, and eventually found the lucky one, "Kō"?

It's highly likely.

A long silence followed in the room.

Kyohiko understood why Tsunade wasn't talking to Jiraiya.

Talking about this will only make the atmosphere more somber.

After much consideration, Kyohiko said, "Perhaps he feels guilty towards you, after all, you personally handed Nawaki over to him, but in the end... the death of his comrade was not so easy for him either."

"Him? How come...?"

Tsunade smiled, wanting to retort, but then she couldn't say anything.

Does she really understand Orochimaru?

Nawaki died, and she was heartbroken, completely oblivious to Orochimaru's feelings at the time.

As for what happened later...

Outward appearance and mental state are not necessarily the same thing.

That guy has always been very reserved and doesn't easily reveal his inner thoughts to outsiders.

Thinking about it that way, it's actually quite possible!

Tsunade patted her head and complained, "I've been drinking too much; my brain's a bit fuzzy!"

"Then don't drink it."

Kyohiko moved the bottle over and corked it. "You're no longer an ordinary ninja; you're destined to become Hokage. You can't be content with the status quo."

"Um."

Tsunade up, but ultimately didn't move. She propped her head up with one hand and watched Kyohiko busy himself, a bright smile spreading across her face. "I'm not drinking anymore, I have to work tomorrow!"

She stood up, thought for a moment, and then sat down again.

"By the way, do you have the technique you want? I'll get it for you from the Old Man."

Need I say more?!

"Flying Thunder God!"

With the Flying Thunder God, you can go anywhere in the world without fear.

"Change it."

Tsunade and explained, "The Flying Thunder God requires a deep understanding of Space-Time Ninjutsu and techniques to learn. With your current knowledge of Space-Time Ninjutsu and techniques, you definitely won't be able to learn it in a short time."

She said this, chuckling.

"Once I become Hokage and you've rendered meritorious service, will you still be worried about not seeing the scroll?"

Too.

After thinking about it, Kyohiko quickly calmed down.

I was a little carried away just now.

He pondered for a long time.

A skill I don't know, but one I can still use...

soon.

Kyohiko thought of a technique and immediately said, "Sister is right, I should be able to use it. I've made considerable progress in speed and Ninjutsu, but what I lack most right now is Chakra. Do you have a way to solve that?"

"Chakra?"

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "There really is a way! This is a technique my grandmother taught me, called the Yin Seal."
