Chapter 237: The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind!
Tsunade didn't believe Qianye's lies.
Her intuition told her that staying with Uchiha Qianye was the best choice.
Delegating power, he indeed delegated power.
But judging from Tsunade's previous behavior style, Uchiha Qianye only gave insignificant and inconsequential power.
The real power is still firmly in the hands.
Only by following Uchiha Qianye can Tsunade be sure whether what Uchiha Qianye said is empty talk and whether Konoha has changed!
Facing Tsunade's temptation, Qianye said with a smile:
"What are you talking about, Ms. Tsunade? It is the dream of many men to have a beautiful lady like you as my secretary."
With your acting skills, you still want to show off in front of me?
How naive.
While Tsunade was wandering around, she hung out in casinos for many years. Although she always kept herself clean, she saw a lot of funny jokes.
Qianye's words made her laugh for no reason, making Xuezi tremble slightly with laughter.
Under the light, the white is dazzling.
Well, inadvertently, Qianye thought of some notebooks that Qianye saw in the notebook area...
Tsunade didn't know the distracting thoughts in Qianye's mind at this time. She looked at Qianye and said with a smile: "Man? How old are you? A 16-year-old man?"
When Shizune heard Tsunade's 'bold words', she glanced at Qianye cautiously, and a blush flew onto her cheeks.
From the cheeks to the ears, it looked like a pair of exquisite blood jade.
Qianye didn't expect that Tsunade would be so violent in order to let her psychological 'break' and create a flaw.
He laughed dryly, pretending not to understand, and said: "As long as Ms. Tsunade can accept the conditions I mentioned, then this position will definitely be yours, and no one can take it away."
"Tsk, tsk, let Tsunade-hime, one of the three ninjas, be my secretary. Looking at the ninja world, I can be regarded as a pioneer."
Qianye said, showing a proud smile, as if he was really looking forward to the scene of Tsunade being his secretary.
Seeing that Qianye was unmoved, Tsunade gave up her thoughts of continuing to 'break the defense'.
Her red lips parted slightly, her neat teeth bit her thumb, a few strands of golden hair fell down, and her eyebrows furrowed, she seriously considered whether she wanted to be Uchiha Qianye's secretary.
It has to be said that Tsunade's appearance of seriously thinking about the problem is full of intellectual beauty——
Provided she doesn't speak!
Tsunade had no problem with the second condition proposed by Qianye. When she created the medical ninja system, she personally dealt with all the problems she encountered during the process.
Having been away from home for these years, my abilities have been somewhat wasted.
But as long as you give her two or three days, she will get started quickly.
What troubled Tsunade was the second condition!
Eat and live together.
Living doesn't mean living in a room, it just lives in a courtyard.
The crux of the matter is here.
She had been wandering in the ninja world for so many years, and when she returned to Konoha, she moved into Uchiha Qianye's courtyard.
Although there is nothing between them, if this spreads out, it will have an impact on the reputation of both parties.
Her appearance has not diminished and her youth is still there, but her actual age is there.
If any gossip really gets spread, it won't be nice.
etc!
When Tsunade saw Qianye's smiling face, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning.
She suddenly realized the real purpose of this little Uchiha bastard, Uchiha Qianye, in adding the second condition——
I just want her to give up.
Haha, you want to plot against me, Uchiha Qianye, you are still a bit immature.
Tsunade pulled her thumb out of her full lips and showed a smile that held the pearl of wisdom:
"The Godaime, you have made Konoha stand at the top of the ninja world again. It is an honor for me to be your secretary for three months."
Qianye's pupils dilated. He never expected that Tsunade would nod in agreement.
Is she crazy?
Logically speaking, there is a second condition, and there is absolutely no chance that Tsunade will agree to it.
How could she agree?
'That's all, it only takes three months. After three months, Tsunade can be transferred back to the cabinet.'
Qianye put Tsunade in the position of chief cabinet member. In addition to her identity and reputation, the most important thing is that Tsunade does not have a strong desire for power.
After the Great Ninja War ended and Konoha was safe, she abdicated and let Kakashi take over as the Sixth Hokage, and then she continued to live her past life of wandering around the ninja world.
Even Tsunade, who is the Hokage, is not obsessed with anything, let alone the position of chief cabinet officer.
Having such a person as the chief minister will save him a lot of worries, and Qianye can practice with peace of mind.
So, in an almost joking exchange between the two, they decided on this matter.
Some people may find it strange that Jiraiya is wanted by Qianye, so why is Tsunade still willing to return to Konoha?
First, it is due to information asymmetry.
In Qianye's words, he let Jiraiya go because he couldn't bear to kill Jiraiya directly, considering the great contribution he had made to Konoha.
He simply bypassed Jiraiya this time as a wanted man.
If Jiraiya were to be his enemy again, Qianye wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
This reason convinced Tsunade.
Secondly, Tsunade is not a young girl.
Before Jiraiya went to Konoha, he invited Tsunade to help him, but Tsunade refused.
Life is short, everyone has his or her own path to take, and everyone must bear the consequences of their choices.
She respected Jiraiya's decision and did not dissuade him. Naturally, she would not disregard her true inner thoughts because of this matter.
Furthermore, Qianye had to thank Qianye for having eliminated the Sarutobi regime.
"Ms. Tsunade, it's still very early, why not let us continue the unfinished gambling game."
Jie Jie Jie, today is your last happy time. When you return to Konoha, just work and move bricks for me honestly!
Tsunade didn't know that Qianye had a sinister heart, so she readily agreed.
Today is the best moment for her to vindicate her reputation as a fat sheep!
Jingyin finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the negotiation had come to fruition and that it didn't turn into a big deal.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She was really afraid that Qianye and Tsunade would break up and end up fighting.
Tsunade-sama will definitely be beaten to death.
Fortunately, this worst outcome did not occur.
As for continuing the gambling game that was just interrupted...
Shizune felt that no casino would dare to receive these two fierce gods after that battle.
Just when a group of people were about to leave the izakaya, the Uchiha Shadow Guard in charge of communications walked in and reported beside Qianye in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"For the record, my lord, Operation Mantis is in danger and the old snake has come out of its hole."
Operation Mantis naturally refers to the incident where Yamato and the others secretly went to the northern base to rescue Orochimaru's test subjects a few days ago.
The old snake specifically refers to Orochimaru.
"There are no outsiders here. Ms. Tsunade will serve as the chief cabinet officer and my secretary from now on. What is the specific situation over there now?"
After receiving Qianye's instruction, the shadow guard reported the details.
"I would like to inform you, Lord Hokage and Lord Councillors, that the early rescue operations of the Mantis Operation Team went very smoothly, but they were intercepted and killed by Orochimaru on their way back. They are currently staying on the spot and requesting support from the village."
Qianye was still thinking about whether there would be any accidents on Yamato's side during the rescue process.
Unexpectedly, the rescue of the experimental subjects in the northern base went smoothly, but on the way back, they were intercepted and killed by Orochimaru.
During Operation Mantis, Qianye dispatched a total of three elite teams.
With their strength, there would be no problem in escaping safely from Orochimaru.
But it would be difficult to bring all the rescued experimental subjects back to Konoha.
Orochimaru's soul became his weakness due to the forbidden technique of Fuzu Reincarnation.
The problem is that this weakness is also personal.
In the face of Itachi Uchiha, who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan and was very good at illusions, this weakness was naturally a weakness.
But in front of ordinary ninjas, would this weakness really be a weakness?
For most ninjas in the ninja world, Orochimaru is a nightmare with no shortcomings!
It is almost an impossible task for Yamato and the others to safely bring back the experimental subjects under Orochimaru's interception.
Even if they have three elite teams!
"Where are they now? How far are they from us? When was the distress message sent?"
"Lord Hokage, the Mantis team is in the forest outside Songshan Town, about 300 kilometers away from us. The specific coordinates are...
The distress message was received at 7 p.m., and according to the fixed frequency of communication between the village and the Mantis Operation Group, they sent the distress message at 5 p.m.
"I see."
300 kilometers, for a ninja, this distance is not too far.
Based on the Jonin's walking distance, we can get there in about 40 minutes.
However, considering the silence, the time is expected to be extended by about 20 minutes.
Then calculate it as one hour.
It's now eight o'clock in the evening, three hours after Yamato and the others sent out a message for help, plus the time to rush...
Maybe it’s still too late!
"Ms. Tsunade, it seems that tonight's entertainment activities will be temporarily suspended. Do you want to go with me to meet your old friend Orochimaru?"
Haha, hypocritical Uchiha brat.
He made it clear that he wanted to go with him, and he deliberately asked himself in a pretentious manner.
How hypocritical!
Tsunade knew clearly that Qianye was worried about her, fearing that she would slip away as soon as he stepped forward.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Godaime, do I have any other choice?"
"Let's go, it's important to save people, but you have to tell me how this matter has anything to do with that guy Orochimaru."
"Let's talk while we walk." Qianye took the lead and left Tangyu Izakaya.
Tsunade and others followed closely behind.
While running, Qianye roughly explained to Tsunade what happened at the northern base.
After hearing this, she sneered: "That guy Orochimaru has become more and more bad after not seeing him for so many years."
Hearing what Tsunade said, Qianye's eyes flashed.
Tsunade is indeed very averse to human experiments.
However, Qianye will definitely carry out this experiment, so how can he convince Tsunade later?
It's really tricky.
Qianye thought for a while and said: "I always believe that if biotechnology is used properly, it will definitely benefit the ninja world.
But obviously, Orochimaru took the wrong path."
"Haha, maybe." Tsunade sneered and stopped talking.
The rest of the journey passed in silence.
Traveling at night is a technical job.
Simply speaking, except for Shizune who was a rookie, everyone else here had experience of traveling at night, so there wasn't much delay in taking action.
Time passed quickly, and Qianye stopped 10 kilometers away from the coordinate point.
The shadow guard of the Hyuga clan opened his white eyes and observed carefully.
The observation distance of Hyuga clan ninjas is at least 2 kilometers after they reach adulthood.
A powerful person can even see things 10 kilometers away. If you are an elite jounin like Hinata Hizashi, you can even see further!
If you think about it carefully, being able to predict the enemy's opportunities from such a long distance will give you an advantage in war.
Moreover, with Byakugan in the team, it is almost impossible for others to ambush him.
Such a powerful insight is also the direct reason why the ninja world looks at Byakugan in every possible way.
Soon, good news came from Hinata's shadow guard.
"Lord Hokage, we have found the target at the coordinate point. The Mantis team is still resisting. Judging from the number of people, there should be no casualties."
Qianye felt relieved after hearing this.
Fortunately, I dispatched three elite teams, the members of which were all special jounin at the lowest level.
Among them, Yamato is in charge!
Although compared with the first generation of Yamato's Wood Release, it can easily give people a ridiculous feeling.
But Yamato’s strength is really not weak!
If Yamato was really a funny noob, he wouldn't have become so violent all of a sudden after being possessed by Ah Fei.
Qianye vaguely remembered that Yamato’s eight ability scores added up to 62 points!
Kakashi's score was only 66 points at the beginning.
In the current time period, Yamato's score will naturally not reach 62 points, but it will not be much less.
In the original book, after Kakashi fell ill, it can be seen that Tsunade chose Yamato to become the temporary leading ninja of Team 7.
And Yamato did not disappoint Tsunade's expectations and led Team 7 directly to Orochimaru's lair...
It can be seen from this that Yamato’s strength is real and not weak!
Besides, Orochimaru is very powerful, but these three elite teams sent by Qianye are not just for free!
If a Kage like Luo Sha encounters these three elite teams alone outside, the only option is to make a strategic retreat.
In addition, Yamato's Wooden Style is not only used for building houses, it is also quite good for defense.
Therefore, it is reasonable for them to be able to resist Orochimaru for so long.
"Then, let us entertain Orochimaru, the rebellious senior ninja."
The shadow guard showed a ferocious smile in cooperation.
They were really looking forward to Orochimaru's expression when he saw the Godaime.
...
On the battlefield.
Orochimaru, who was consuming Yamato's chakra, suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.
Orochimaru stood on the treetop and looked around under the bright moonlight. The originally peaceful darkness became strange.
It's as if something dangerous is approaching quickly in the darkness!
'Is it an illusion, or is it?'
Orochimaru was cautious by nature, so he decided to let the main body escape first, leaving a clone to watch.
