Tsunade stood in the ruins and glanced at Uchiha Madara's body again.
The moonlight leaked from the hole in the dome and shone on Madara's withered face, with the unexplained smile at the corner of his mouth still lingering.
She suddenly felt that this scene was a bit ironic.
Her grandfather's biggest enemy in his life did not die in Valley of the End or on the battlefield. Instead, he sat on a stone chair and was punched through the heart by a Uchiha junior who was more than ten years younger than her.
She withdrew her gaze and turned to Shaoyu.
The emotion in the golden pupils has settled down from the shock and anger just now, and turned into something calmer and heavier.
She pondered for a long time, until the moonlight leaking from the cave ceiling moved from Madara's body to her feet.
"I am willing to join you Kumogakure."
Her voice was not loud, but she spoke every word clearly.
"But I only engage in teaching Medical Ninjutsu. Establish a medical ninja training system, formulate teaching syllabus, educate students, and build hospitals. I do all these."
"I will not participate in any other matters - wars, intelligence, assassinations, intrigues between you and other ninja villages. I am not your Kumogakure ninja, I am just the external person in charge of your medical system. If you have any problems, you can come to me to discuss it, but I will not kill people for you."
Shaoyu looked at her and smiled.
Not the faint, calculating smile before, but the kind of smile where the corners of the mouth really turned up and the corners of the eyes narrowed slightly.
His goal was achieved.
Tsunade's value never lies on the battlefield.
No matter how good she is at fighting, she is still just one person, but the Medical Ninjutsu knowledge system in her mind, her more than ten years of clinical teaching experience, and the medical ninja training system she created are all worth countless times more than the combat power of a Kage Level.
What's more, with Tsunade, Kumogakure's medical system has a golden signature. In the future, if you want to recruit medical talents from other ninja villages, the difficulty will be reduced by half.
Tsunade Once you enter the door of Kumogakure, it will not be so easy to leave again.
Senju Clan of the forest will repay his kindness, and after he helps Tsunade completely resolve her anemia, he will build a medical system for her in Kumogakure that is not inferior to Konoha.
At that time, there will be no need to talk about remuneration.
One day later, Kumogakure Raikage's Office.
Retired Third Raikage was sitting opposite Shaoyu, holding a cup of tea in his hand. The tea was no longer steaming, but he had been holding that cup of tea for a long time. From the moment Tsunade walked into the office, his mouth had not been closed.
With her golden ponytail and neat short robe, Kumogakure couldn't find another woman who could compare to her aura.
This face looked so familiar to him.
One of Konoha Sannin, Slug Princess, the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama, Shinobi World is recognized as the strongest medical ninja.
Third Raikage's evaluation is: Konoha is really losing money with this woman here. As a result, this woman is now standing in his office, next to Shaoyu, saying that she wants to join Kumogakure.
"You kid..."
Third Raikage put down the tea cup, and the bottom of the cup hit the table with a muffled sound. He pointed at Shaoyu, his fingers trembling slightly - not out of anger, but excited.
"You have kidnapped all the princesses of Konoha Senju Clan? You are so powerful! Do you know what status this girl has in Konoha? The granddaughter of First Hokage! The third generation disciple of Hokage! Half of the medical ninjas in Shinobi World are her disciples and grandsons!"
"If you invite such a giant Buddha back, Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old guy will be so angry that he vomits blood when he finds out about it?"
The more he talked, the more excited he became. He stood up and circled around Tsunade, looking up and down, as if looking at a legendary ninja tool that had just been captured on the battlefield.
Tsunade was a little embarrassed by what he saw.
"Third Raikage, I'm not a great Buddha, and I'm not here to be your thug. I'm just here to do medical teaching, and I won't participate in other things."
"It's great to engage in medical teaching!"
Third Raikage didn't care at all whether she said "participate" or "not participate". In his ears, the only important point in his ears was "Tsunade is in charge of Kumogakure's medical system."
Shaoyu smiled, turned to the secretary at the door and said, "Let Kakuzu come over."
Kakuzu looked normal when he entered the office.
Shaoyu is standing by the window, and Tsunade is standing in front of the desk.
He introduced Kakuzu's identity to Tsunade, Kumogakure, the finance minister, and all funding approvals must go through his hands. Then he said to Kakuzu.
"Grant money to Tsunade to establish a medical ninja training system. Training ground construction, equipment procurement, teaching material compilation, student recruitment, teacher salary, each item must be budgeted separately. The first phase of start-up funds will be allocated first, and subsequent additions will be made quarterly. The budget plan will be handed over to her within three days."
Kakuzu glanced at Tsunade.
Shinobi World The strongest medical ninja, Princess Tsunade.
How much it would cost to invite her, his mind had already begun to calculate automatically in his mind, including the market price of hiring Kage Level Medical Ninja, the purchase price of medical equipment, infrastructure costs, and long-term labor costs. His eyes widened halfway through the calculation.
"This is all money!" Kakuzu's voice changed, and the usual gloomy tone cracked, revealing the instinctive resistance of a miser when faced with huge expenses.
"The hiring fee for the fourth generation, Lady Tsunade, is not low. Moreover, the construction of the medical system is not a one-time investment. Follow-up maintenance, consumables, and personnel training--all together, it will cost at least this amount."
He stretched out a few fingers and called out a number that made Third Raikage's eyelids jump.
Shaoyu didn't look at his fingers or his expression.
"Kakuzu, I am not discussing with you. Tsunade joining Kumogakure is an established fact, and the establishment of the medical system is a strategic decision. Your job is to execute, not to question." Kakuzu opened his mouth.
"But-"
"No buts."
Tsunade noticed that Kakuzu's face, which had never expressed any expression, flashed at least three expressions at that moment - shock, pain, and an extremely restrained, instinctive obedience to authority.
This person has been at Kumogakure for several years and has been completely tamed by Shaoyu. He only dares to say "but" even when he talks back.
Kakuzu finally nodded. He turned around and walked out, his steps heavy as if his legs were filled with lead.
Tsunade's medical ninja training program was officially launched three days later. On the first day the news spread, the registration office of Kumogakure's medical department was overcrowded.
Tsunade personally conducted the interviews. From morning to evening, he interviewed hundreds of people, but in the end only less than thirty were left.
The elimination rate is as high as over 70%, which is unheard of in the history of Kumogakure.
You must know that Kumogakure's selection of ninjas has always been based on the standard of "as long as they can fight". An interview method like Tsunade's, which includes finger dexterity, chakra control accuracy, and emotional stability in the face of bloody scenes, is tested one by one. It is a cultural shock to Kumogakure.
