Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Naruto was extremely surprised.

What exciting news!

"..."

"Kid, I just praised you, and you want to get beaten up, huh?"

Tsunade listened with a slight smile, then turned and beckoned with her finger.

"Ugh!"

"What are you sighing for?"

"Ahem, let's go see Chiba. He's probably already prepared a meal for us."

Sasuke covered his face, not really wanting to talk to him, but then looked around.

Tsunade's condition was indeed not hemophobia, but without Chiba's help, it would have been very difficult for her to overcome her psychological trauma.

It could be said that Chiba cured Tsunade's ailment.

Tsunade was furious.

Naruto, you are truly brave!

Both arms were also injured due to the self-destructive superhuman strength.

At the same time, he secretly thanked Chiba.

"Why is it that you and that brat both don't want positions, but you only think of me? Does the old man think I'm not qualified?!"

and so……

Jiraiya had no way of knowing Tsunade's current feelings.

Seeing Tsunade fearlessly fight against blood to heal Naruto's wounds, he felt as if he had returned to those days.

As she spoke, she clenched her right fist, her expression showing a hint of anger.

"Of course! How could a gambling old woman like you, who loves drinking and gambling and can't win a single penny, possibly become Hokage!"

Jiraiya sighed, "Otherwise, with everyone here, it just feels..."

In the end, am I the only one who suffers?

Naruto was dumbfounded.

"Oh, I see. But I'm injured!"

"Orochimaru is dead, and even if he were alive, his actions would be hard for me to accept."

Jiraiya squinted, intending to expose her, but seeing that she had finally mustered some enthusiasm, he sighed inwardly and remained silent.

"Ha, Jiraiya, what nonsense are you talking about? The past is the past, and no matter how much you think about it, nothing can be changed."

"Ah? Oh!"

Tsunade declared with boundless confidence: "As long as you're not dead, I can heal you from any injury!"

Naruto also played a significant role in this, as the child's enthusiasm, drive, and aspirations were remarkably similar to those of her two relatives.

"Kid, come here."

"Chiba-kun, is this really a good thing for us? I think we should go see Lady Tsunade."

but.

……

Naruto initially thought there was nothing wrong, but then he realized that he shouldn't have been injured in the first place, but now he had two bloody holes in his body.

The same thought flashed through the minds of both Jiraiya and Sasuke.

Naruto walked over.

of course.

But then...

Jiraiya's years of experience interacting with women taught him...

After treating her wounds, Tsunade tossed her clothes over her shoulder. "However, don't get me wrong. Although I'm fine now, it doesn't mean I have to go back to being Hokage."

This is a topic I shouldn't discuss.

Jiraiya and Tsunade didn't want to talk to Naruto, but Naruto kept clinging to them, so he had no choice but to reply, "If he were a traitor, he wouldn't be able to protect Lady Tsunade all this time. Chiba-senpai must have been certain that the other party wouldn't harm Lady Tsunade."

Silent is very worried.

Chiba waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that at all. With Jiraiya-sama protecting him, that six-armed guy can't possibly escape. It's just that Naruto might suffer a bit."

Why Naruto?

"He charged the fastest and liked to shout, making him quite conspicuous at night and an easy target for arrows."

Chiba answered naturally.

He has already sealed away the corpses of Sakon and Ukon.

Although their bodies were practically unrecognizable after that punch, piecing them together still made them worth studying.

He ate his food while pondering to himself.

This time, Kabuto only brought Kidomaru, Sakon, and Ukon. It seems that Tayuya is cooperating and hasn't gone against his wishes.

Hopefully, that guy can successfully take control of the Sound Village.

but.

Neither he nor Kabuto could keep an eye on Otogakure forever.

They both have public identities.

We need to find a helper.

Orochimaru's base has enough qualified and capable individuals to become his helpers...

Chlorin?

Putting aside her Uzumaki clan identity, her abilities and talents alone are more than enough. If we also send her some sealing technique materials, she will definitely be a powerful helper.

Secondly, there's Shigego.

It's a bit more troublesome for Shigeo, but it's not a big problem for me.

Isn't it just a case of Sage Chakra going out of control?

The parasites are having a blast.

Once we get back, we can make the arrangements.

"Chiba-kun, let me go buy some more, otherwise..."

"What are you eating? Kid, come out and fight!"

Tsunade jumped in through the window.

Chiba turned his head and couldn't help but ask, "Is this a habit you developed from escaping debts?"

"puff!"

Shizune was secretly pleased to see Tsunade return, but when she heard Chiba's merciless mockery, she almost lost her composure.

Go back into the room through the window...

It really is a habit that developed from escaping debts.

of course.

Most of the time, they don't need to do that. With the help of her senses, Tsunade can clearly know the whereabouts of her creditors and avoid them in advance.

Even if there are unexpected events, there is still the ability to transform.

Tsunade chuckled and sat down irritably: "You went easy on me in the fight, watched me suffer, and then came back to eat your midnight snack. Don't you think you deserve a beating?"

"Indeed, but fighting often damages relationships, and you have to pay compensation for damaging the street. You might even become famous."

Chiba paused for a moment before saying, "You don't want people to know that the Konoha Hokage is wantonly destroying the streets and is drowning in debt, do you?"

"When have I ever run away from debt? I'll definitely pay it back when I have the money!"

Have you ever been rich?

"you!"

Tsunade was about to slam her hand on the table when the door opened and Naruto rushed in, grabbed a bowl, and was about to start eating. She immediately felt embarrassed and stopped herself from flipping the table.

She gave Chiba a serious wink.

Chiba put down her chopsticks and bowl.

"Then, Lady Tsunade, shall we go to a quiet place to discuss this in detail?"

"it is good."

Tsunade nodded.

She certainly didn't just want to fight.

Fighting can happen anytime, but Tsunade has some doubts at the moment that she needs Chiba, who knows Konoha very well, to answer—

Jiraiya has been away from Konoha for too long.

As for Naruto and Sasuke...

What do the two children know?

Naruto turned his head curiously, but Jiraiya, who came in from behind, pressed him back down.

……

"Lady Tsunade, what would you like to hear?"

Chiba knew that Tsunade's attitude had softened somewhat.

If you talk to him alone at this time, you'd definitely want to know about the recent situation in Konoha, the First and Second Hokage, or the Edo Tensei.

He would answer truthfully no matter which one it was.
