"You're the ones who think you are, who do you think you are?"
"How long are you going to treat him like a child?!"
"He inherited the will of Konoha and grew stronger; Naruto is now surpassing Jiraiya."
"He wasn't a hidden figure in Konoha using tools to stop the war; he was a ninja protecting Konoha."
" Uzumaki Naruto!" Tsunade Naruto, shoving the two elderly people to the ground.
" Jiraiya, Teacher Sarutobi, and Hidden Sand- Chiyo of Sunagakure—do they possess something you lack?"
Do you know what it is?
"The Power of Belief"
The will of fire: wherever leaves dance, a raging Kakkō will surely ignite, illuminating the village, and new buds will sprout from the leaves.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, sitting on the ground, stared blankly at Tsunade's tall figure, their hearts filled with complex emotions.
"Just like my grandfather, the First Hokage, who believed in you and entrusted Konoha to you."
"Now it's your turn to trust the children and entrust them to you."
After listening to Tsunade's words, the two slowly stood up from the ground, silently turned around and left the Hokage Office.
"Whatever you want."
Li Yu thought to himself, "As expected of Tsunade, she's really decisive and efficient; she's quite like Hokage."
At that moment, she walked Shizune into the office.
Lady Tsunade
"Did you find anything?"
"It's reacting," Shizune said, holding the black stick in her hand.
"Is this the black rod used for transmitting signals? It matches the intelligence the Anbu reported," Tsunade said, glancing at Li Yu beside her.
"That's right, there's a reaction from above; they're receiving Chakra signals, consistent with the detailed intelligence provided by the Anbu."
"This confirms that the attack was carried out by the Akatsuki's Pain, involving six Pain puppets."
Pain?
"It would be best to tell Fukasaku everything."
"When the 'Contact Frog' goes to call Naruto, also convey this message."
"Okay," the red frog replied.
"With the information obtained from the autopsy, Shizune contacted the interrogation team and went out of the village to find Nagato's location."
" Anbu Squad 2, Anbu advisor Namikaze Minato, go protect Shizune, and also be responsible for protecting the interrogation squad. Find out the location of Nagato is behind it all."
"Yes"
"Yes"
Li Yu was secretly surprised. With the detailed information he provided about Nagato and the Six Paths Puppet, Tsunade's subsequent reaction was quite different.
In the original storyline, Shizune was tasked with performing an autopsy to determine Pain's exact circumstances. Now, the task has been changed to using an existing Six Paths Puppet to locate the controller. Namikaze Minato has also been sent to protect him and head directly to Nagato's location.
This time, Shizune should prevent her from having her soul extracted by the Human Path, having her memories read, and dying a painful death.
"As for you, go and inform the main body," Tsunade said, looking at Li Yu, who was dressed in a white robe and wearing an animal mask.
Tsunade's words greatly surprised the ninjas who hadn't yet left. Did the Anbu chief really operate with clones all Tenten time? Where was his real body?
"No need, I've already informed him. He should know what to do. He told me to stay by your side and protect you."
Namikaze Minato was already used to Li Yu Tenten Wood Release Clone to go to work every day. Sometimes he would also create Shadow Clone to go to work, while his main body stayed at home with Kushina. They were quite in sync when it came to slacking off at work.
"My job on the rooftop is to relay intelligence, treat all the wounded with Katsuyu, and do everything in my power to protect the village."
Go ahead.
Everyone rushed out of the office and closed the door behind them.
"Alright, I need to hurry over to Master Fukasaku's Fukasaku too." The red frog on the desk prepared to Hand Seals to return.
A dark figure appeared, and a Ninja Blade stabbed directly into the back of the red frog.
A clang was blocked by a Kunai.
"Ah!" The red frog was startled and took several steps back. Turning around, it saw two figures, one black and one white.
" Danzo, I've been eavesdropping outside the window for so long, I thought you were sneaking into the office to steal something in the chaos," Li Yu said sarcastically, immediately accusing Danzo of being a thief.
Danzo sheathed his Ninja Blade, jumped back to create distance, and leaned against the glass window.
"As expected of the head of the Anbu, even in such an emergency, you've shown me your true colors."
"Heh, Danzo is quite ruthless, isn't he? Taking advantage of every opportunity, this isn't something you should do!" Li Yu stood in front of the office desk, staring intently at Danzo seemed to be backing down.
"Contact the frog, go and call Naruto right now, remember that for next time."
"Thank you, sir!" The red frog immediately Hand Seals and vanished in a puff of white smoke.
Just then, a person stood outside the window, Danzo Danzo's way out.
" Namikaze Minato!" Danzo in surprise.
"Haha, Danzo, you old Danzo, what a bunch of useless guys! You've only grown old but not capable, you've been completely intimidated!" Li Yu retorted Danzo's lines, also including Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura from earlier.
"You"
" Danzo, you're trying to trap Naruto, aren't you!" Namikaze Minato also saw through Danzo's intentions in killing the liaison frog.
"Snort"
" Danzo, we're keeping an eye on you. Watch out if you show your face!"
"Hmph," Danzo remained unconvinced, turning into white smoke and disappearing from the spot.
"Another Shadow Clone! Danzo is being extremely cautious!" Namikaze Minato said gravely.
"Yes, this is a warning shot to make him more careful. Knowing his personality, if Konoha is in danger, he'll definitely cower in some corner of Konoha and won't dare to come out."
"After all, Hokage was still Danzo's dream."
"Hmm, your judgment is unreasonable. Let's go." Namikaze Minato disappeared out the window.
Li Yu simply jumped out of the window as well, leaping onto the rooftop platform of the Hokage Building in a few bounds.
"Taking the unconventional route is significantly faster."
Tsunade stood in front of the railing and quickly Hand Seals.
" Summoning Technique "
After a puff of white smoke, a giant Katsuyu appeared in the Hokage's courtyard.
"From this moment forward, you will immediately follow all the Konoha ninjas and civilians, accepting my Chakra to heal all the wounded."
"It seems the village is in grave danger," the Katsuyu said worriedly.
"Okay, hurry up!"
"I understand." The giant Katsuyu immediately split into countless smaller Katsuyu of varying sizes, which quickly moved towards the village.
The densely packed, fission-like imagery is extremely unfriendly to those with trypophobia.
"No matter what happens, we must protect the village."
"Bet on the name of Hokage "
Inside the white space, Li Yu received an urgent signal from his clone. After a spatial distortion, he immediately returned to the Senju Clan's gathering place.
Because the Senju Clan's settlement is located on the edge of Konoha, they have not yet been affected by the battle; only large amounts of black smoke can be seen rising from the central area of Konoha.
"Level One Combat Readiness, Call Up All Combat Units"
" Senju Qijian, you will lead the first and second battalions to escort three medical teams to Konoha Hospital."
"Third and Fourth Battalions, along with unofficial ninjas, go to the village to evacuate the villagers and rescue the ninjas."
"Qianlihua, you take the guards and evacuate the clansmen to a safe haven. Although the fighting hasn't reached here yet, do it as soon as possible."
"Yes"
"Yes"
"Father, what about me?"
"What about us?"
After all the ninjas left, Senju Yuqing and Senju Yuhong secretly tugged at Li Yu's sleeve and whispered...
