After a long time, Tsunade took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down from the huge impact. She turned around and stared at Senju Chen with an unprecedented complex look.
In those eyes, there was shock, pride, confusion, and even a hint of... awe.
She finally understood what kind of terrifying power the "science" her brother mentioned was.
I finally understand why my younger brother is so confident. Even if he has this kind of technology, even if it cannot be popularized, it is still an unconventional strategic method.
You must know that in the entire Shinobi World, severed hands and feet are basically useless to a ninja. You must know that most of the Ninjutsu in Shinobi World require both hands to Hand Seals be released.
Just like in the original work, our Orochimaru's hands were disabled, and he begged all the way to Tsunade. Because his hands were disabled along the way, he was wearing Ninjutsu. Apart from being able to use a Summoning Jutsu, he only had the ultimate move of "spitting a sword from his mouth", and other Ninjutsu could not use it. This shows the importance of hands to ninjas.
Not to mention that once they lose their legs and feet, except for the original Maruboshi Kosuke, others can basically only stay at home to take care of themselves.
"Little Chen..." Tsunade's voice carried a firm determination, "Tomorrow I will convene Konoha High Command Council of Elders."
"You and Mr. Kosuke, come with me!"
The next day, Konoha Hokage building, conference room.
The air here seems to be a bit heavier than elsewhere.
Beside the long conference table, there were several figures who could decide the fate of Konoha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the former Third Hokage, is currently smoking a pipe. Under the smoke, the old face looks more and more profound, like a living historical stone sculpture.
On both sides of him were Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu. The former had a serious expression and crossed his hands on the table, like a dean; the latter pushed up his reading glasses, with sharp eyes and a hint of scrutiny unique to politicians.
Opposite them was Shikaku Nara, the current minister of Strategic Intelligence Division and the patriarch of the Nara Clan, who was known for being "afraid of trouble", but no one dared to underestimate his wisdom. He was supporting his chin with his hand at the moment, looking drowsy, as if he would fall asleep on the spot in the next second.
These four people, plus the current fifth-generation head Tsunade, form the current top decision-making level of Konoha.
When the door of the conference room was pushed open and Tsunade led Senju Chen and Maruboshi Kosuke in, everyone's eyes were focused on it.
"Tsunade, what big thing happened to convene Council of Elders in such a hurry?" Mitokado Homura was the first to speak, with the same rigid tone as always.
"Kosuke?" Hiruzen Sarutobi saw the old man behind Tsunade, a trace of nostalgia and tenderness flashed through his cloudy eyes, "It's been a long time since we last saw him, are you still strong?"
Maruboshi Kosuke bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Thanks to Lord Third, I won't die."
Utatane Koharu's eyes briefly stayed on Senju Chen, then turned to Tsunade, frowning slightly. "Tsunade, although Senju Chen is your brother, but this is Council of Elders. It is no longer suitable for him to participate anymore, right?"
When Senju Chen returned to the village, everyone here knew it, but in her opinion, Senju Chen could participate in Council of Elders before, which represented their Senju Faction and Only those with a Tsunade position can participate in the meeting as an exception, but now that Tsunade has returned to the village and has become Fifth Hokage, so Senju Chen is naturally no longer qualified to participate in meetings of this level.
"Rules?" Tsunade sneered, unceremoniously pulled out the chair and sat down, crossing his legs. The powerful aura belonging to Fifth Hokage instantly enveloped the entire audience, "What I brought today will change all the rules of Konoha!"
She glanced at everyone and said word by word, "I am calling you all today to announce a... medical technology breakthrough that can change the entire Shinobi World pattern."
Shikaku Nara's half-closed eyes quietly opened a crack.
Hiruzen Sarutobi blew out a smoke ring and said slowly, "Oh? Even Tsunade, you used the word 'changing the situation' to describe it. It seems that it is indeed a big deal."
"Humph, you will know it by yourself."
Tsunade didn't explain too much, he just glanced at Maruboshi Kosuke.
Maruboshi Kosuke understood and silently Earth Flow walked to the center of the conference room.
"Mr. Kosuke's left foot was broken in order to protect his companions in Second Shinobi World War. Everyone here should know this." Tsunade's voice echoed in the quiet conference room.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu nodded, looking at Maruboshi Kosuke with a hint of respect in their eyes. This ninja who dedicated his life to Konoha deserves respect regardless of his strength.
However, the next second, Tsunade's words made everyone stunned.
"And now, his foot is healed."
Okay?
What does it mean?
There was an eerie silence in the conference room.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's pipe stopped at his mouth, Utatane Koharu froze in pushing his glasses, Mitokado Homura frowned, and even Shikaku Nara, who had been dozing, suddenly sat up straight!
The eyes of several elders were like searchlights, fixed on Maruboshi Kosuke's left foot.
The foot was wearing a wooden clog and looked ordinary.
"Tsunade, when you say 'OK', do you mean installing some new type of puppet prosthesis?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to react. He thought of Puppet Technique from Sunagakure.
"Puppet prosthesis?" Tsunade raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth, "Old man, look carefully."
Under everyone's gaze, Maruboshi Kosuke slowly pulled up his trouser leg and raised his left foot.
Then, in front of everyone, he flexibly... curled up his five toes.
"!!!"
If I was just surprised, then at this moment, there was a gasp of cold air in the entire conference room!
Mitokado Homura suddenly stood up from the chair, leaned forward, stared at the foot, and lost his voice. "This... how is this possible?!"
Utatane Koharu's iceberg face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, was now filled with cracked shock, and his mouth was slightly open, enough to stuff an egg into it.
Shikaku Nara The laziness on his face completely disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness. At this moment, his brain began to work crazily, trying to understand the scene in front of him.
Only Hiruzen Sarutobi had no joy on his face. Instead, he frowned slightly and suddenly turned his gaze to Tsunade, the young man with a faint smile from beginning to end - Senju Chen.
"Grandpa Kosuke." Senju Chen also spoke at the right time.
Maruboshi Kosuke nodded, and immediately, a stream of Chakra surged out of his body and accurately gathered on the sole of his left foot!
Bang!
He stamped his foot on the ground!
On the hard stone floor, he stomped a fine spider web of cracks!
This kick not only shows strength, but also perfect control of Chakra! This is definitely not something that any prosthetic limb can do!
"This is not a prosthetic limb... this is... this is a real flesh and blood body! Tsunade! Is this your new technique? An extension of Medical Ninjutsu?"
Tsunade shook his head and turned his eyes to Senju Chen beside him.
"No, this is not my fault."
