Chapter 222 No matter what the future says, kill Orochimaru now!
Konoha seems to be getting a little strange.
Tsunade never thought that the Hokage's responsibilities would become like this.
If he does not succeed the Fifth Hokage, the Hokage in the village who assists Akihara Kagura will be lawless and brazenly launch a new round of ninja war.
In the past, the Hokage in the village dealt with dangers from the outside. Now the purpose of making himself the Hokage is to suppress the Hokage's assistant in the village?
"Are you kidding me?"
A mocking smile appeared on Tsunade's lips, she looked at Jiraiya and said, "There is no need to tell such a lie. Do you think I will believe it? Could it be that other people in the village will obey his orders to launch the ninja world?"
A big war?"
"I'm not kidding."
Jiraiya shook his head and continued with a serious look: "Tsunade, you should still remember Danzo, right? Kagura inherited Danzo's roots. He has been used as a killing tool by Danzo since he was a child. He acts decisively and toughly.
The old man and I taught him for several years before he made a slight change, but it was still difficult to change his tough attitude toward the outside world..."
"Another point…"
"The power of Kagura is extremely powerful."
Jiraiya looked into Tsunade's eyes and continued to explain in a deep voice: "Since childhood, Kagura has never lost once when facing any enemy. This also gives him infinite confidence. He can face any enemy.
He has a strong belief that he will definitely be able to kill his enemy..."
"But war is an area he has never been exposed to, and he has always been curious about how far he can achieve in war..."
"This time, Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village started a riot in Konoha, which was an excellent opportunity for Kagura. Even though Kirigakure Village and Sunagakure Village had proposed peace talks, Kagura still did not give permission.
If he wants to take this opportunity to launch a war, the advice of the two Hokage advisors cannot shake his will at all..."
This is actually an extremely embarrassing place in Konoha politics.
If Akihara Kagura is the Hokage, perhaps he should respect the advice of the two Hokage advisors to avoid leaving a reputation as a Hokage who is arbitrary;
However, Akihara Kagura is only an assistant to the Hokage, not the supreme leader of Konoha. In name, he only has the same or slightly higher status than the two Hokage advisors...
At this point in time, Akihara Kagura can be arbitrary, but does not need to bear the reputation of being arbitrary, and Akihara Kagura probably doesn't care about this.
"..."
Tsunade immediately sensed trouble.
If he really succeeded as Hokage, the first thing he would do would be to engage in internal fighting. What would be the point of taking over as Hokage?
If I don't take over as Hokage, the once cruel ninja war is likely to come again, and I don't know how many people will die...
This position of Hokage...
It feels like a hot potato!
"Kagura is not that kind of person!"
Uzumaki Naruto interrupted the communication between them, and was very dissatisfied with Jiraiya's slander of Akihara Kagura: "Kagura doesn't want war or anything..."
"Shut up!"
Jiraiya glanced at Uzumaki Naruto coldly, and said solemnly: "You are just a genin, how can you understand high-level affairs!"
"Even if Kagura doesn't want to start a war, no one has yet decided to resolve the conflict between the village and other ninja villages. The enemy country will never let go of this opportunity to attack Konoha..."
"I will protect Konoha!"
Uzumaki Naruto stretched out his palm and slapped his chest heavily: "I will work hard to become Hokage, and then resolve the conflict between Konoha and enemy countries, so that there will be no more wars in the ninja world!"
"..."
Jiraiya's eyes looked a little weird.
this moment…
The words of the Great Toad Immortal echoed in his mind again!
but…
Now is not the time!
"You idiot!"
Jiraiya punched Uzumaki Naruto on the head and scolded him coldly: "Even if you want to become Hokage, you have to wait until you grow up. By the time you grow up and become Hokage, the Ninja World War will be long gone."
If it breaks out, you might even have to go to the battlefield..."
When Jiraiya said this, he looked at Tsunade again, with some unfinished meaning in his eyes: "Tsunade, if the war breaks out, how can such a brat who wants to become Hokage survive the war?
You should also know the probability, right?"
"..."
Tsunade's heart ached.
Because her brother Naoki once wanted to become Hokage, but was eventually killed by a detonating talisman during the war. Even her lover Kato Dan also died in the war...
"Then let him die."
Tsunade closed her eyes and pretended not to care: "Wouldn't this kid who only wants to be Hokage die in the end?"
Tsunade closed her eyes, raised her head, and continued to herself: "Perhaps they know how to retreat a little. During the war, they hide behind others and don't rush to the front.
Can you survive?"
"I'm not going to die!"
Uzumaki Naruto looked at Tsunade with anger on his face and declared loudly: "I will not die before I become Hokage! I will not hide behind others. In order to protect the village, I will rush forward.
Front…"
"absolute!"
"absolute!"
"Won't back down!"
"..."
Tsunade suddenly fell silent.
"Let's learn the Rasengan technique first!"
Tsunade said coldly, took off a pendant from her neck, and suddenly threw it to Uzumaki Naruto: "Let's make a bet, if you can learn that technique within a week, I will believe you."
You will become Hokage, I believe you will not die..."
"Tsunade-sama!"
Shizune looked at Tsunade in surprise.
"what…"
Uzumaki Naruto looked at the pendant in his hand with some curiosity. He didn't seem to find anything magical, so he wanted to throw the pendant away.
"That is the treasure left behind by the first Hokage."
Jiraiya looked at Uzumaki Naruto, chuckled and said: "It is said to be a unique gem in the world. The money you sell can be exchanged for three mountains..."
"!!!"
Uzumaki Naruto opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"..."
Shizune looked at Uzumaki Naruto with some worry.
Tsunade didn't pay much attention to it, but turned to leave with a heavy mind. Her eyes opened slightly, and there were some moist tears in her eyes.
At that moment...
It reminded her of her brother Shengshu again.
Her younger brother Naoki never backed down in order to protect Konoha, and even rushed to the front in the war, but died in the enemy's detonating charm trap...
if…
If you don’t want to become Hokage…
Don't stop the Hokage assistant named Akihara Kagura...
That kid named Uzumaki Naruto will also die in the war, right?
and…
That jewelry…
Tsunade closed her eyes again, leaned against a wall, lowered her head and recalled the people she missed, the people she had given jewelry to.
"This jewelry..."
Shizune stared at the piece of jewelry and continued: "This is the most important thing to Tsunade-sama. No matter what difficulties she faces, she never gives up..."
"That's it..."
Uzumaki Naruto frowned, but then raised his fist: "But she insisted on making a bet with me, right?"
"That's not what I meant to say."
Shizune looked at Uzumaki Naruto wearing that piece of jewelry, and couldn't help but want to tell him the truth: "This is a piece of jewelry that carries bad luck. Lady Tsunade once gave it to the people who were most important to her, but none of them
All exceptions are dead..."
Shizune told the past story: "Tsunade-sama's younger brother wanted to be Hokage just like you. On his twelfth birthday, Tsunade-sama personally put this piece of jewelry on him, hoping that he could realize his dream.
Ideal, but Tsunade-sama’s younger brother died in the Ninja War..."
"Tsunade-sama's lover Kato Danjōnin..."
When Shizune said this, she paused for a moment: "Jōnin Kato Dan also targeted Hokage. Lady Tsunade gave him this piece of jewelry, hoping that he could also become Hokage. As a result, Kato Dan also died in the war.
Among…”
"This is an ominous thing..."
"Tsunade-sama hoped that this jewelry would help them survive and realize their dream of becoming Hokage, but they still suffered bad luck and died in the war..."
"I see."
Uzumaki Naruto nodded, not at all frightened by Shizune's words, and walked out of the town on his own: "Then I will go practice first."
"What?"
Shizune looked at Uzumaki Naruto with some surprise.
"I don't want to lose!"
Uzumaki Naruto showed a bright and confident smile and said seriously: "I will learn the Rasengan, I will survive, and I will become Hokage!"
"!!!"
Shizune looked at Uzumaki Naruto with shock on her face, and a smile slowly appeared on her face as she watched the little guy running towards the outside of the city.
"Don't worry about this brat Naruto..."
Jiraiya watched Uzumaki Naruto's leaving figure and continued softly: "This brat is more tenacious than anyone I have ever seen..."
"There is more to worry about now..."
When Jiraiya said this, he looked towards the direction Tsunade left: "It's still the same situation in the village, if we go back too late..."
"Jiraiya-sama."
Shizune looked at Jiraiya and continued to ask with an ugly expression: "Is the situation in the village really as serious as you described? Is the Hokage in the village really going to launch a ninja war with the help of Master Akihara Kagura?"
"actually…"
"The situation is more serious than what I described."
Jiraiya glanced at Shizune, and his eyes gradually became serious: "Didn't you meet Orochimaru? Orochimaru wanted to lure Tsunade to resurrect the rope tree and Dan's technique, which is called the Jutsu of Reincarnation.
It is a technique that requires a life sacrifice to be used..."
"Um…"
Shizune nodded, a little confused.
"Kagura has also mastered this technique."
Jiraiya looked at Shizune and continued: "Before he died, the old man was worried that he would not be able to defeat Orochimaru, so he asked Kagura to learn the art of reincarnation in advance to fight against Orochimaru..."
"..."
Shizune was frightened by Jiraiya's words.
"Two Hokage advisors in the village agree that Akihara Kagura can use the art of reincarnation in the dirty earth to resurrect the dead in the village to avoid Konoha from encountering a greater crisis in the future..."
Jiraiya gradually calmed down and continued: "I hope that after Tsunade returns to the village, she can prohibit Kagura from using the art of reincarnation. This art is too evil and will change Kagura's already extreme ideas.
It has to be darker..."
"Jiraiya-sama can't you stop it?"
Shizune asked curiously: "Isn't Jiraiya-sama his teacher? You should be able to stop him, right?"
"I can persuade Kagura."
Jiraiya nodded, shook his head and said, "But the two Hokage advisors in the village will not listen to my opinion..."
"never mind."
"Anyway, there's still some time."
Jiraiya felt that Tsunade had listened to his persuasion today and might soon agree to succeed him as Hokage: "Let's wait for her to figure it out..."
"I want to tell Tsunade-sama this news."
Shizune thought of what happened to Orochimaru today and continued: "If Tsunade-sama knew that someone in the village had mastered the art of reincarnation, he probably wouldn't have reached a cooperation with Orochimaru..."
"Hey Hey hey…"
Jiraiya was a little uneasy and quickly followed Shizune: "Don't let Tsunade think that Kagura will help her resurrect the broken and rope tree, otherwise it will be more troublesome..."
In fact.
Tsunade acted quite calm.
When Shizune told Tsunade that Akihara Kagura had mastered the reincarnation of the Earth, Tsunade didn't show any emotion at all and just drank by herself.
"If Tsunade-sama really wants to see them..."
Shizune looked at Tsunade and continued: "We don't have to cooperate with Orochimaru. The Hokage in the village assists Master Akihara Kagura and has mastered the art of reincarnation in the dirty earth..."
"I see."
Tsunade never thought about working with Orochimaru.
Whether it was Orochimaru's conditions or Orochimaru's style, Tsunade never thought about cooperating with Orochimaru to resurrect Kato Dan and Naoki.
Because Orochimaru will continue to attack Konoha sooner or later, how can Tsunade reach cooperation with him? Tsunade even plans to take this opportunity to kill Orochimaru. Konoha is her two grandfathers, brother and lover who have sacrificed their lives to protect it.
Village!
"Tsunade!"
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade hesitantly and persuaded softly: "If you want Kagura to use the art of reincarnation, it may cause unpredictable consequences..."
"Furthermore, the people resurrected by the Reincarnation Technique of Filthy Earth are just puppets of the caster. This technique also desecrates the souls of the dead..."
"..."
Tsunade didn't answer Jiraiya.
Tsunade put down the wine bottle in her hand and whispered: "You don't have to worry about my affairs. Let me be alone for a while..."
"yes."
Shizune could only suppress her doubts and left Tsunade's side.
"..."
Jiraiya could only leave Tsunade's side. He looked back at Tsunade's lonely figure and sighed quietly in his heart.
"..."
Tsunade still sat there calmly.
At this time, she had already decided in her heart that she must succeed the position of Hokage. Just now she was just thinking about how she could kill Orochimaru here by taking the opportunity to communicate with Orochimaru.
result…
But he learned that Akihara Kagura also mastered the art of reincarnation.
This kind of thing…
How to not make her feel upset?
"In short, Orochimaru is completely useless and harmful. Let's kill Orochimaru first..."
Tsunade raised her palm, with some concerns in her heart: "If Orochimaru can be killed here, there may be no reason to need that little guy in the village to use the art of reincarnation..."
