I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Chiaki pouted and lightly punched Tsunade's shoulder with her small fist. Tsunade wished she could turn into a werewolf and swallow Chiaki whole on the spot.

Tsunade clenched her fists tightly. She had to find a way to marry this woman, damn it.

"Hey Orochimaru, how can we get Chiyo to use Shadow Clone Jutsu a few more times..."

She quietly asked Orochimaru, who gave her a disdainful look.

"What? You've had my little Qian away for so long, and you haven't even offered me a single help?"

Tsunade complained, while Orochimaru pointed to himself, gave a thumbs-up, pointed at Tsunade, and shook his finger.

If Orochimaru wanted, he could simply use the guise of an experiment, and Chiaki would be ready to cooperate in anything.

If he wanted to make a move, it wouldn't be too difficult, but unfortunately Orochimaru had no interest in it at all.

If you really want to know what he's interested in, Orochimaru thinks it would be more interesting to research the effects of emotions on the soul after he's researched gender transformation and becomes a girl, together with Chiaki.

性？

Too pediatric.

Orochimaru had studied a lot of animal sex when he was a child, so sex had long lost all interest in him.

I don't understand why Tsunade and Jiraiya are so enthusiastic about this thing.

Orochimaru... are you looking for death?!

Tsunade clenched her fists. A man should never be told he's no good!

what?

She's not a man?

Oh... then it's alright.

The three of them were currently on the Hokage Rock, waiting for Jiraiya to arrive before heading towards the Hokage's office.

As soon as Jiraiya arrived, he saw Tsunade's fist harden, as if she wanted to smash Orochimaru. Orochimaru, however, showed a disdainful smile, completely disregarding Tsunade.

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Jiraiya greeted her with a grin, hooking his arm around Tsunade's shoulder while using his other arm to hook around Chiaki.

"Little Qianqiu, it's been a long time! Lately I've only seen your shadow clones, I haven't seen your real body in ages."

"Come and give the teacher a kiss..."

As he spoke, Jiraiya leaned closer to Chiaki's cheek.

"Go to hell!"

Tsunade was already furious, and when she saw Jiraiya's action, she immediately punched him in the cheek.

"Ah?"

Jiraiya was inexplicably punched and flew straight towards the Hokage's office not far away, smashing through the window and flying inside.

"Cough cough cough..."

Jiraiya covered his face as he stood up from the ground, muttering that Tsunade's punches had become even more powerful, and looked at Danzo with a gloomy face and Hiruzen Sarutobi with a bewildered expression.

"Good morning, old man..."

He coughed as he greeted them, "I came in a bit of a rush, sorry..."

"Jiraiya, you really don't respect the Hokage and me at all!"

Danzo said sternly, while Jiraiya touched his nose and said with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, Lord Shimura, I didn't see you just now. Good morning."

"……very good!"

Danzo's expression darkened further. Jiraiya's words made it very clear that he only cared about Hiruzen Sarutobi and hadn't paid any attention to him.

"...Alright, shut up now!"

"A person who is always slacking off will never accomplish anything."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glared at Jiraiya, stopping his sarcastic remarks.

Jiraiya shrugged and stood aside. Three dark figures flashed by, and Chiaki appeared in the Hokage's office with Tsunade and Orochimaru.

"Chiaki reports to the Third Hokage."

Chiaki bowed respectfully to Hiruzen Sarutobi, then turned to Danzo and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Shimura."

Danzo's expression softened considerably, and he nodded kindly to Chiaki.

"Old man, what do you want from us?" Tsunade said bluntly. "I'm on the verge of breaking through to the next level right now, so don't bother me with anything that's not very important."

"Me too."

Jiraiya nodded in agreement, saying, "I reckon I'm the fastest of the Legendary Sannin, isn't that amazing?"

Orochimaru remained silent, his expression indifferent.

"It's not that I need to talk to you, it's Shimura."

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table. World War II was still ongoing, but at this point it had completely devolved into fighting for the sake of fighting, and everyone hoped to end the war quickly.

But since the benefits weren't evenly distributed, the war wouldn't stop for no reason.

The prolonged fighting has even stirred up the desires of the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning.

There's no other way; if the melon is gone, then we'll just have to make one ourselves.

"Shimura, you speak."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gestured to Danzo, who slowly nodded.

"This time, we will stop the advance of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth. The specific method is to join forces with the Hidden Rain Village and use the Hidden Rain Village as the front line to block the advance of the two countries."

"puff……"

Jiraiya couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"cough."

Hiruzen Sarutobi cleared his throat, and Jiraiya quickly regained his serious demeanor.

"What does Lord Shimura plan to do?"

Chiaki, being quite polite, said to Danzo, "I think even if I were Hanzo of the Salamander, I wouldn't agree..."

Qianqiu was actually a little confused. If it was something at this level, then her level shouldn't be high enough.

"How to persuade him is my business. Your mission is to protect me to Amegakure and support the local troops."

Danzo scoffed, "The Legendary Sannin of Konoha, as the face of Konoha, shouldn't be able to intimidate the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, right?"

"And also, Senju Chiaki, the pink-haired witch... I suppose your abilities can guarantee my safety to the greatest extent possible?"

His gaze fell on Qianqiu, who turned her head away awkwardly.

This title is so awkward, Chiyo the old lady, I'll remember you!

Instead of using "pink-haired witch" as her title, she might as well just use "Seven".

When the time comes, pair it with a pair of glasses, put them on your face before the battle, shout "JOOOO," wouldn't that be cooler than the pink-haired witch?

"How is it? Any problems?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table. "Preventing the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning from joining the war is a major matter. Your breakthroughs can be focused on the war. Any objections?"

"……No."

Orochimaru shook his head. They were out of experimental subjects, which was perfect for a quick experiment. He had no problem with it.

"You've made your decision, what other questions are there...?"

Jiraiya muttered to himself, while Tsunade clenched her fists. "Lord Danzo, instead of coming to me, you're asking Chiaki to protect you. Are you looking down on me, the number one medical ninja?"

Chapter Ninety-One: I'll take... and save your dog's life.

Two months later.

Northern part of the Land of Rain.

The drizzling rain felt particularly uncomfortable; the weather here is always like this: gloomy and damp.

Fighting in this kind of weather is a challenge for both the ninjas and their physical and mental well-being.

Chiaki and his group braved the rain and quickly arrived at Konoha's headquarters.

After delivering a batch of supplies, Orochimaru was left behind as the commander-in-chief in preparation for a sudden invasion by the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning.

Similarly, with the arrival of Chiaki and his group, the Konoha headquarters in the north has been augmented with at least a thousand ninja troops. These thousand are used for defense and vigilance, and if necessary, the main force will be dispatched directly to the site.

"It would be best if this war never broke out."

Jiraiya muttered to himself, with Chiaki and Tsunade by his side. The three of them, wearing hoods, escorted Danzo toward Amegakure.

Danzo made a brief appearance at his headquarters in northern Konoha, earning him a lot of goodwill from the ninjas.

Just imagine, in a place with a terrible combat environment, the second-in-command of the government personally came to the camp, delivered supplies and care, and even brought reinforcements. Wouldn't the ninjas in the camp be extremely grateful?

When important figures personally take the lead, it can be very effective in boosting morale.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi had come directly, the ninjas in this camp would probably have exploded with rage, and might even have wanted to storm into the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning to show off their skills.

no way.

Everyone fights for fame and fortune, or for a sense of honor; everyone has their own desires.

A character of Hiruzen Sarutobi's caliber can satisfy everyone's desires.

It's that simple.

If you can give me what I want, then I will support and admire you.

"If the Rain Village is willing to unite, then the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning will be in trouble."

Tsunade picked at her ear. Besides the three of them, Danzo had also brought a squad of Root ninjas. Heaven knows why he was so afraid of dying.

Danzo was clearly an elite Jonin; he shouldn't have been instantly killed.

"Actually, now that all three of you have reached the Kage level, basically no one dares to make a move, right?"
