Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 123 News from Tsunade

After hearing Uchiha Douguang's question, Orochimaru shook his head and then said:
"The results are not very optimistic. I originally thought that Hashirama's cells could react specifically with Senjutsu Chakra, thus filling the gap between pure Mangekyō pupil power and Senjutsu Chakra. However, the facts are completely the opposite of what I expected."

"Senjutsu chakra can indeed react with Hashirama's cells, but once the power of the Mangekyo is added, a riot will break out between the three. Hashirama's cells, empowered by senjutsu chakra, will completely devour the power of the Mangekyo. This process will cause a violent riot, and all my test subjects have died in this process."

"So, I guess that in order to achieve the perfect fusion of that jutsu's eye power and senjutsu chakra, what is missing should be another thing, a power that is opposite to the power contained in Hashirama's cells, but on the same level."

"I see. I understand." Uchiha Douguang nodded. It seemed that what Black Zetsu gave him was feasible, but incomplete. So, as for the information about the senior who was an expert in the fusion of fairy arts and Mangekyō, perhaps only after finding the Slug Sage could he get truly useful information.

"Then you should stay in Ryuchi Cave for the time being. When the situation is not so tense for a while, I will find a way to help you get a new identity." Uchiha Douguang instructed Orochimaru.

"Yes." Orochimaru said after saluting respectfully.

……

The next day, Uchiha Douguang went to the Hokage Building early in the morning. After finishing some daily affairs, he brought a document to the room where Jiraiya was imprisoned in the Minamigawa Hotel.

It’s not really true that he was imprisoned. The plan for dealing with Jiraiya had already been decided. He is now a Genin in the village who has retired from the ninja sequence. He can leave at any time if he wants to.

However, Jiraiya still seemed to have not come out of his autism that day and refused to leave the room.

During this period, even Sarutobi Hiruzen came to persuade him twice, but Jiraiya seemed determined not to leave the room. Every day, apart from sleeping, he would give money to the guards who were nominally guarding him but actually taking care of him, and ask them to buy alcohol.

So, when Uchiha Tokou arrived, Jiraiya was sitting alone by the window drinking.

"Lord Jiraiya seems to be in a very elegant mood, but I wonder how long you plan to stay in my guard team?" Uchiha Douguang said after walking into Jiraiya's room.

"Dou Guang?" Jiraiya turned around and was a little surprised to see Uchiha Dou Guang.

Then, Jiraiya walked from the window to the table in the room and sat down. He leaned back in the chair, raised his head and said, "I am just a retired Genin now, so don't use the word 'adult'."

"The current solution is just to give an explanation to everyone. Lord Jiraiya has made contributions to the village and he is my predecessor. For this reason alone, he deserves this respectful greeting." Uchiha Douguang said with a smile.

Jiraiya was also in a trance when he looked at Uchiha Tokou who was wearing the Fifth Hokage's divine robe. This robe made him think of his disciple, Namikaze Minato, when he took office as Hokage. He was as high-spirited as the young man in front of him.

But thinking of Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya recalled what Uchiha Douguang said that day. After moving his lips slightly, he asked, "Douguang, have you always looked down on me?"

"Lord Jiraiya, let the past be the past. People still have to learn to look forward." Uchiha Douguang said slowly.

"Eh." Jiraiya understood Uchiha Douguang's answer and sighed heavily, "Tell me, what do you want to see me about?"

"I hope you can help me find Lady Tsunade and ask her to return to the village." Uchiha Douguang said.

"Tsunade? If she wanted to come back, she should have come back long ago. The old man should have sent her more letters than to me." Jiraiya said.

This is the truth. Considering the situation Sarutobi Hiruzen was facing at the time, letting Tsunade come back was a thousand times more reliable option than letting Jiraiya come back. However, Tsunade completely ignored the other party.

"If you find Lady Tsunade, please help me give this thing to her. She should be willing to come back." Uchiha Douguang said, handing Jiraiya a document called "Medical Ninja Special Training Program".

Jiraiya took the document and took a look at it, also showing a thoughtful look.

Uchiha Douguang's plan made drastic reforms to the existing medical ninja training program.

First of all, at the ninja school stage, students with talent in this area will be selected, and a special academy will be established to carry out special training.

And after graduation, these students with talents in this area will be divided again according to their talents in combat.

Those who have absolutely no talent for combat but are quite talented in medical ninjutsu, are directly admitted to the village hospital.

Those with certain combat talents will be incorporated into the combat sequence and will receive special training in ninjutsu for self-protection and escape to ensure that they will not become a burden to their teammates when encountering battles.

Those with exceptional talent in both areas will be trained vigorously by the village to become Tsunade-like, capable of both fighting and healing. It can be said that Uchiha Douguang's plan has completely refined the village's original program for cultivating medical ninjas, which was similar to an interest group. If this plan is successfully implemented, the future of Konohagakure will be filled with many more talented medical ninjas, perhaps even achieving Tsunade's original vision of having a medical ninja in every squad, thereby improving the village's ninja survival rate.

And in this plan, the name of the dean of Konoha Medical School is Tsunade.

"Okay, I'll try." Jiraiya nodded and accepted the task, saying, "I think she'll be willing to come back after seeing this plan."

"Please." Uchiha Douguang nodded and said, "Also, I would like to ask you to continue the previous pursuit of Orochimaru. He has done something extraordinary recently."

"What did Orochimaru do?" Jiraiya asked hurriedly when he heard the news about Orochimaru, and even sobered up.

Uchiha Toguro was speechless when he saw his expression. He hadn't reacted so strongly to what he had just said about Tsunade. It turned out that Orochimaru was his true love.

"Orochimaru, he assassinated the daimyo some time ago." Uchiha Tokou said.

"What?" Jiraiya jumped up in shock when he heard that.

Afterwards, Uchiha Tokou polished up what had happened during this period and told Jiraiya.

After hearing this, Jiraiya immediately made a decision. He would set off today, find Tsunade, and then look for Orochimaru.

……

After sending Jiraiya away from the Minamigawa Hotel, Uchiha Touma also returned to the Hokage's office.

Getting Jiraiya out of the village was a decision Uchiha Tokou made after careful consideration. After all, Konoha Village would become the new capital of the Land of Fire, and a large number of nobles would inevitably move to Konoha in the future. If this old pervert was allowed to wander around the village, and he happened to peek at the female relatives of some noble, it would be a disgrace for him as the Hokage.

Not long after Uchiha Tokou returned to the office, Hyuga Hiashi came to him and asked to take Neji, Hinata and Hanabi back home.

During the time that Uchiha Tokou was in the Fire City, Hyuga Hiashi was also busy dealing with clan affairs.

Because the ones who were to be liquidated were the heads of several other main families, and for the safety of the children, Hyuga Hiashi simply placed the three children in the Uchiha Fugaku family for a period of time. Taking into account Naruto, who was able to come to the house with luggage with ease after Kakashi went on a mission, the Fugaku family has now become a small nursery.

Now Hinata Hiashi has finished dealing with the affairs within the clan. More importantly, he finally found a way to free the bird from the cage among a pile of ancient scrolls in the family.

"It seems that Chief Hiashi has already dealt with the affairs of the clan?" Uchiha Douguang said with a chuckle.

"Thanks to Lord Hokage's timely assistance, all the people involved in this incident have been dealt with by the Hyuga clan." Hinata Hiashi said.

Originally, Hyuga Hiashi might have encountered some resistance when dealing with Hyuga Kazuki and the others, after all, they had the support of many members of the branch families. But after seeing the fate of the Utatane and Mito clans where all the branches of their main families were wiped out, all the branch families under their main families chose to join Hyuga Hiashi, and Hyuga Hiashi took this opportunity to completely control the family. Because of this, he could also make an exception and release Neji from the caged bird status on the grounds of supplementing the main family members.

Although the hidden dangers brought by Neji's ascension to the throne in the future will still exist, at least it will not have much impact on the family order now. As for what to do in the future, Hinata Hiashi decided to trust in the wisdom of future generations.

"In that case, let's pick an auspicious day and become my disciple." Uchiha Douguang said.

"I understand." Hinata Hiashi nodded and said.

……

During this period of time living in the Uchiha clan, Hyuga Neji felt better than ever.

Although they are all prominent families in the village, compared to the strict and rigid rules of the Hyuga clan, the atmosphere of the Uchiha clan is much more relaxed. At least here, no one from the main family will boss him around because of his status.

Even Uchiha Sasuke, the second son of the elder's family and a disciple of the Hokage, treated him with courtesy.

Coupled with Uchiha Mikoto's careful care, Neji also felt the long-lost feeling of home here.

Apart from the fact that his sister always secretly stared at a certain yellow-haired man, which made him particularly unhappy, the days during this period were like living in a dream for Neji.
