Konoha: Rebuild the glory of the Uchiha!

The snack shop owner, no longer wanting to argue with them, started cursing.

"What did you say?"

I'm going to teach you a lesson today!

Danzo Shimura was furious. These lowly people who only enjoyed protection in Konoha had no idea how dangerous the situation was, nor did they know the greatness of their teacher Tobirama Senju's Will of Fire!

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly pulled Danzo Shimura away. In Konoha, there was a rule that ninjas could not arbitrarily use force against civilians.

If you violate this rule, you'll be in for a chat with the police. The Uchiha clan isn't exactly known for its leniency; you won't get out of there without suffering the consequences.

What's more, it's at this critical juncture. If we enter Uchiha territory, we might not be able to get out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi cannot allow Danzo Shimura to act recklessly.

"What, you want to hit someone?"

When the snack shop owner saw that Shimura Danzo was about to make a move, he immediately raised his voice.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura are now extremely conspicuous, attracting a crowd of onlookers from a distance.

A group of indignant villagers began to verbally and in writing attack Hiruzen Sarutobi.

coward!

traitor!

deserter!

Various insults filled their ears, some even directed at their parents and families. They relied on their superior numbers and were not afraid of Shimura Danzo's wrath.

The Uchiha clan took special care of them; if any of these people dared to make a move, they would be arrested and imprisoned. Once they were in the Uchiha's security detail, they would never be able to get out, and there was no need to worry about retaliation afterward.

Danzo Shimura's eyes were bloodshot, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. Hiruzen Sarutobi was also in bad shape, his face turning ashen, but he still retained his rationality.

There is no benefit in breaking out with the villagers now; it will only put Mito Uzumaki in a difficult position and lower his standing in her eyes.

They're just a group of villagers misled by public opinion; there's no need to get angry with them.

Hiruzen Sarutobi held onto Danzo Shimura's hand tightly, afraid that Danzo would lose his temper and unleash a few Wind Release: Vacuum Balls on them.

"Come on, Danzo, don't get entangled with them." Hiruzen Sarutobi pulled Danzo Shimura out of the crowd and ran to an open space.

"Damn, damn!"

"These lowly people!!"

Danzo Shimura picked up a tree branch and frantically whipped the weeds to vent his anger, striking them dozens of times before calming down.

"Hiruzen, aren't you angry?"

Shimura Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen standing to the side. Just now, Sarutobi Hiruzen had endured the villagers' insults and silently suffered their abuse without uttering a sound.

Danzo Shimura was left to engage in a verbal battle alone, but unfortunately, he was defeated.

angry?

Of course I'd be angry. Being pointed at and insulted by a group of people, and having my parents and family involved, anyone would be angry.

Getting angry won't help. The more you explain, the more excited they get, thinking you're getting impatient!

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't stupid; he had already been warned by Mito Uzumaki that the Uchiha clan would use public opinion to destroy him.

Having already been warned, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't be so easily provoked by ignorant villagers and fall into the Uchiha's trap.

Perhaps there are Uchiha ninjas hiding nearby, observing them from the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to capture them and bring them into the Uchiha Police Department.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was right about this; the Uchiha did indeed have someone watching him, but it wasn't just the Uchiha who were watching them.

Senju, Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, and others have all sent people.

"Now is not the time to be angry."

“I have more important things to do. The shadow of a village will not be defeated by something like this.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi has begun to use the mindset of a Hokage to restrain himself. To become a qualified Hokage, one must possess the mindset of a Hokage.

He'd gladly endure mere insults in order to become Hokage.

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's confident and high-spirited appearance, Danzo Shimura felt a strange fire rise in his heart.

Has the gap between him and Hiruzen Sarutobi become so large?

The gap in strength can be overcome through hard work and training, but the gap in mindset and perspective cannot be easily bridged by effort alone.

A pitifully thick barrier had already formed between Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hiruzen, I won't lose to you!

Seeing that his good buddy Hiruzen Sarutobi had already surpassed him by a large margin in terms of strategic thinking, he was not going to admit defeat so easily.

Danzo Shimura, who considered himself no less capable than Hiruzen Sarutobi throughout his life, still believed that the only thing he lacked between him and Hiruzen was a chance.

If Tobirama Senju had chosen him back then, he wouldn't have been any worse than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Regret and resentment filled my heart.

"Danzo, let's train."

"We can't waste this precious time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't forgotten Mito Uzumaki's advice: she could help him deal with the Uchiha, but there was still Momoma Senju as an opponent waiting for him.

I must train hard and improve my strength as much as possible during this time. Mito Uzumaki is still helping me stall for time. Once Lord Tobirama's body is brought back to Konoha, the real test will begin.

"I can't let Tobirama-sensei down," Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly vowed.

At this moment, a young man was standing in front of the gate of Konoha Village.

He has black hair, a handsome appearance, and bears a striking resemblance to Hashirama Senju.

As Senju Momoma looked at the gates of Konoha, his heart, which should have been filled with joy at returning to the village, was now filled with unease, as if a great calamity had befallen Konoha.

What could have happened to make my mother so anxious to send me back to the village?

Chapter 26 Tsunade Aspires to Become a Medical Ninja

Thousand Hands Clan Land

Tsuna held a thick book in his hands, reading it diligently. The cover of the book featured a diagram of human anatomy; it was a medical book treasured by the Senju family.

In Konoha today, blood-stained powerful families monopolize the village's knowledge, and ordinary civilian ninjas who graduate from the Ninja Academy only have the three essential ninja tools.

Transformation technique, clone technique, substitution technique.

For ordinary people who want to learn other ninjutsu, there are only a few avenues.

He sold himself to the Bloodstained Clan, earning merits on the battlefield to exchange for ninjutsu.

If you're lucky, a Jonin with your guidance might teach you a move or two, but such cases are extremely rare.

Almost all of Konoha's Jonin come from ninja clans, and these clans have rules against passing on their ninjutsu to outsiders. Of course, they can create their own ninjutsu as they please.

Knowledge related to medical ninjutsu is naturally extremely valuable, and only large ninja families are qualified to possess it.

Mito Uzumaki sat on the threshold of the room, basking in the sun. The sunlight warmed her, and as people get older, they like to bask in the sun. She was nearly fifty years old, which was considered a long life in a world where ninjas generally had short lifespans.

Seeing that Tsunade had recovered from her grief so quickly, Mito Uzumaki was genuinely happy. She was truly worthy of being her granddaughter.

Although I don't know why Tsunade suddenly started learning medical ninjutsu, she clearly had no interest in these things before.

The Senju and Uzumaki clans are born with enormous chakra reserves and are said to have inherited Yang Release from the Sage of Six Paths. They are naturally suited to learning medical ninjutsu, and therefore, these two clans have the most books on medical ninjutsu.

Mito Uzumaki was well-versed in this, and when Tsunade was young, he even planned to teach her a few techniques. Unfortunately, Tsunade wasn't interested and preferred to learn powerful ninjutsu.

Now she's changed her ways and started learning about medical ninjutsu, contrary to her usual behavior. Mito Uzumaki didn't care about the reasons behind it; as long as her precious granddaughter was happy, that was all that mattered.

If Tsunade studies diligently, Mito Uzumaki is confident that he can train her to become the most powerful medical ninja in the ninja world.

Looking at the dense text in the book, with its many obscure and difficult technical terms, Tsunade was completely baffled, making her want to tear the precious book in front of her to shreds.

It seems we've run into trouble.

Mito Uzumaki sat there basking in the sun while observing Tsunade's expression.

Tsunade is almost at the Crimson Tempest level, so she can't just stay there sunbathing.

"Tsunade, you're in trouble, aren't you?"

Mito Uzumaki stood up, walked to Tsunade's side, and looked at the page. This page was about Yang Release and also involved the structure of the human body. It was beyond Tsunade's current knowledge.

"Grandma, there are so many terms here that I've never seen before. And what is chakra here?"

Asking questions when you don't understand is a good habit.

Tsunade understood this perfectly. Her grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, was very skilled in medical ninjutsu. With a professional by her side, she naturally wanted to get to the bottom of things.

"The so-called Yang Dun."

"."

Mito Uzumaki patiently instructed Tsunade, guiding her step by step. When she reached a crucial point, she paused deliberately to see if Tsunade could figure out the key to the problem with her prompting.

The future Tsunade will be the number one medical ninja in the ninja world. Her talent in medical ninjutsu is beyond doubt. She did not disappoint Mito Uzumaki's expectations and answered the question naturally. She can even apply what she learned to other situations.

This greatly pleased Mito Uzumaki, who knew that her medical ninjutsu had a successor.

"I must become the strongest medical ninja in Konoha."

Having just grasped the concept, Tsunade immediately regained her confidence and began to "talk big," which suddenly piqued Mito's curiosity again. Tsunade's original goal was to become Konoha's first female Hokage.

"Tsunade, tell Grandma how you became interested in medical ninjutsu."

Tsunade's smile froze for a moment, a hint of sadness flashing across her face, but she still managed to smile.

“Grandma, when I was on a mission at the hospital in Konoha, I saw a lot of wounded soldiers who had been brought back from the front lines. Everyone looked like they were in pain, and some of them even died from their injuries.”

"If I were a good medical ninja, I could definitely save them." "Maybe if I were better at medical ninjutsu, I could help him heal if he was injured, following my second grandfather's example, and maybe he wouldn't have died."

Tsunade's naive words broke Mito Uzumaki's heart. Having never been on the battlefield, Tsunade did not understand its cruelty. The opponent who could keep Tobirama alive was not someone that could be reversed by an excellent medical ninja.

Tsunade's words suddenly made the atmosphere somewhat sad, and Mito Uzumaki quickly changed the subject, continuing to explain medical knowledge to Tsunade.

Outside the gates of the Senju clan's territory, Senju Momoma was in a hurry to go home and see Uzumaki Mito as soon as he returned to Konoha.

The doors that were always open were now unusually closed, adding to the gloom in Senju Momoma's already uneasy mood.
