Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 152 Hiashi: Hiashi, I'm not helping you for this reason!

The next day, at Konoha Hospital.

"How is it?"

Not only Takesaku Gekko, but also Koharu Utatane, Biwako Sarutobi, and other hospital executives are very concerned.

This was the first lung surgery.

The success of this surgery means that similar situations can be treated in the same way, and diseases that were previously incurable are no longer untreatable.

Kurenai quickly said, "Teacher hasn't slept all day. Let's go to the office, and I'll relay the message..."

At that moment, the door opened.

"It's okay, business is more important."

Tsunade rubbed her temples. "There's basically no rejection reaction, and the condition is improving rapidly. However, she'll still need to be hospitalized for observation to prevent the situation from worsening and becoming too late to be transferred."

"Very good!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

If the condition improves within a day, it can generally be considered safe.

This is enough to prove that Jingyan's proposed method of "blood relative substitution" is highly feasible, and it can be tried in the future when encountering similar diseases.

"That's great, that's great!"

Sarutobi Biwako murmured to herself.

Tsunade rubbed her temples, paused slightly, and said, "Kurenai, are you free today?"

"certainly!"

"Could you and Shizune help me with these documents? I'm really tired today."

"yes!"

……

Inside the office, Tsunade closed her eyes to rest, but soon, an ANBU ninja arrived.

"Show-off? Oh, you came by yourself?"

Tsunade opened her eyes and immediately perked up.

Jingyan came in with a booklet in his hand. He nodded slightly to Yuhi Kurenai and Shizune who were handling documents.

Tsunade really worked hard.

Monitoring your body is not like staying up late to do your usual work. Especially for subtle changes like rejection reactions, you have to be fully focused to feel them.

but.

Given Tsunade's physique and abilities, although she was tired, she wouldn't be unable to get up from her bed.

Jingyan's lips twitched slightly, and he roughly understood the reason.

He remained silent for a moment, but ultimately did not expose it.

Tsunade was somewhat embarrassed at this moment. Only her own people knew the extent of her physical condition. She knew that Kyohiko had seen through her trick, so she immediately waved her hand.

"Let's go next door and talk!"

"it is good."

Jingyan complied with her wishes.

After all, it's not a big deal. Given Tsunade's personality, either Shizune or Kurenai will eventually have to help her with daily affairs, and Tsunade herself certainly won't be idle.

Finally, Kurenai looked up and winked at him.

Jingyan smiled.

Kurenai Yuhi is skilled in perception and illusion techniques, and understands Tsunade's emotional state better than Shizune.

He followed them to the next room.

Tsunade sighed, "I finally have a moment of peace, so you can't expose me!"

"Hong saw through it long ago, but she just didn't expose it."

Kyohiko wrote down the report on the scroll in his hand and threw it to Tsunade.

Tsunade took it and flipped through it.

A moment later, a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Great! That's wonderful!"

Acupressure targeting muscles and limbs has relatively mild side effects, while its therapeutic applications are quite comprehensive.

Furthermore, the idea of ​​using monkeys or apes as substitutes for experiments is feasible.

This is more important than the study of acupoints themselves!

"Kyohiko, I wish you could grow up faster."

Tsunade sighed.

"It'll be here soon."

Jingyan sat down at the table opposite him in the conference room. "Isn't Naruto good?"

"It's boring."

Tsunade waved her hand.

She squinted and complained, "Every day when I wake up, I have to think about what I should do, who I should help solve problems for, and if there are new policies, I have to think about whether everyone is satisfied..."

Tsunade sighed.

"How many things can satisfy everyone?"

"Good sister, stay calm and stay positive. You can't let yourself fall apart."

Jingyan immediately encouraged him.

If she sets it up, then things will go back to the way they were before.

Tsunade glanced at him and waved her hand.

"Just saying."

She picked up the booklet and said, "With your past achievements and this thing, who can challenge your position as the next Hokage?"

"I just want to do something for Konoha. What Hokage? Ugh, you could be Hokage too, sis!"

When Kyohiko saw Tsunade chuckle coldly, his expression changed immediately, and he stepped forward with a smirk.

Tsunade waved her hand: "You must have other things to do, right?"

She understands Kyohiko.

While acupoint research is important, it's not enough to make Kyohiko go there on his own. It would have been more likely that Tsukiko Shusaku would have come, and he could have used the opportunity to improve his relationship with Kyohiko.

Jingyan nodded and handed over a piece of intelligence.

Thanks to the hard work of Shusaku Tsukikage and Nono Yakushi, the intelligence network is slowly being rebuilt, and Hiruzen Sarutobi also has some manpower on his side.

Although it wasn't handed over to the Dark Division, some intelligence was shared among them.

and so.

This intelligence is most likely true.

"Is there internal strife in the Land of Water?"

Tsunade's gaze immediately turned serious.

The first line of the intelligence report featured strikingly large characters.

She immediately perked up.

Looking down, Tsunade was speechless.

"This is a bit..."

"writer of sensational headlines?"

Jingyan chuckled, then stopped smiling. "Calling it clickbait isn't wrong, but the story is true, and the possibility of internal strife is quite high as things unfold."

Tsunade knew.

This kid isn't just talking about the Land of Water; he's also hinting at the current state of the Land of Fire.

In the Land of Water, the Yuki and Kaguya clans have been sponsored by nobles from the Daimyo Prefecture and Kyoto for many years, essentially serving as their private armies.

and so.

Neither clan obeyed the orders of Kirigakure.

This situation is very similar to that of Konoha, Danzo's guardian ninja, and the current situation in the Land of Fire.

She pondered for a few seconds, then put down the book.

"What do you want to do?"

"The conflict between the two countries in the Water Country is escalating, and it may not be long before they break into civil war."

Kyohiko sat down. "If Kirigakure intends to exterminate the Kaguya and Yuki clans, could we send someone to retrieve a few promising young talents?"

A bloodline limit like that.

A few promising talents mean the inheritance of a bloodline limit, especially the Corpse Bone Pulse and Ice Release, both of which are extremely powerful. Once awakened, they will at least become Jonin after they grow up.

Tsunade was smitten.

only……

"Will this cause a dispute?"

"I've heard that the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan have some connection?"

Jing Yan said.

Tsunade nodded.

Although she didn't know much about the Hyuga clan, she did know that they would visit the Kaguya clan and hold joint ceremonies every now and then.

and so.

This is probably true.

Are they trying to bring back a few children under the guise of blood ties and ancestral worship?

Tsunade pondered carefully: "It's feasible, but I'm afraid the Hyuga clan won't agree to it."

As for war.

Even if Konoha doesn't provoke Kirigakure, Kirigakure will still attack them.

There is never lasting peace between villages; there are only conflicts of interest and changing circumstances. That's why Kumogakure dared to send people to kidnap Kushina, and even dared to continue their interactions afterward.

The same applies to Konoha and Kirigakure.

What she was worried about was...

"Hinata, are you willing?"

"Orochimaru-senpai and I both speculate that Hyuga and Kaguya may have been from the same clan in ancient times, and that their ancestors may have possessed the advantages of both. Therefore, the union of Kaguya and Hyuga might have given birth to even more powerful offspring."

Kyohiko replied.

Tsunade was stunned for a few seconds.

A combination of White Eyes and Corpse Bone Vein?

This is terrifying!

If that's really the case, how powerful would their offspring be? Why haven't the Hyuga and Kaguya clans intermarried for so many years?

Tsunade was initially puzzled.

But she soon understood why.

The two clans split into two families.

If they marry, who is the head and who is the deputy?

The Hyuga clan doesn't seem willing to be subordinate, and they're doing very well in Konoha, so there's no reason for them to be with the Kaguya clan.

The Kaguya clan of the Land of Water are all incredibly warlike.

They are even less likely to submit to the Hyuga.

Tsunade immediately stood up: "Alright, if the Hyuga clan is willing, Konoha can fully cooperate!"

Thanks.

Jingyan stood up, slightly moved.

Such a decision would have been impossible even for three Hokage in their entire lives.

Tsunade laughed and said, "What are you thanking me for? Regardless of whether Kaguya's and Hyuga's bloodline limits can coexist, it will only benefit Konoha by adding another member of the Kaguya clan. I'm not an old man."

……

Hyuga family main hall.

Rizu and Risa sat facing each other, discussing for a long time how to formulate the future rules of the main branch.

but.

After many days of discussion, a perfect solution still has not been found.

Hiashi sighed, "It's really not easy to maintain the family's longevity while also taking good care of the branch families."

Upon hearing this, Rizashi immediately lost his composure.

but.

He had known Hiashi for a long time and knew what his brother's problem was, so he immediately lowered his head and agreed.

I was just about to say something comforting and agreeable.

Footsteps sounded outside.

Immediately afterward, the guards hurriedly entered.

"Master, Lord Kyohiko has arrived."

"Um?"

Hiashi was first surprised, then looked at Hiashi.

Hijika quickly shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing about it.

Hiashi pondered for a second, then nodded to the gatekeeper and said, "He is a distinguished guest of our Hyuga family. Next time he wants to come, there's no need to stop him. Just bring him in directly."

"Yes, then I..."

"Master, I'll go greet them."

"it is good."

Japan nodded.

Confused, Hiji walked quickly outside.

I haven't told Jingyan about my family. What's this guy doing here today?

He hurried to the door and saw Jingyan standing there, looking calm and composed.

"Kyohiko-kun".

"Hizashi-senpai, you're also with Hiashi-senpai?"

Jingyan looked surprised, but he understood in his heart.

During this time, Risa was preoccupied with family matters.

What conditions did Japan offer?

He pondered silently.

"Yes, I need to speak with the head of the family. What brings you here?"

"I've received some information that's somewhat related to your family, so I wanted to discuss it with you. Since you're here, that's perfect."

Jingyan explained with a smile.

Risa breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led him inside, introducing him to Risa in the main hall.

After briefly explaining his purpose, a smile appeared on Hiashi's face.

"The Kaguya clan and we do have a blood relationship, and our two families still have considerable contact, but that's about it. We have a festival every year or two, and there's no deeper cooperation beyond that."

"Haven't your two tribes considered intermarriage or cooperation?"

Jing Yan said.

Japanese feet shook their heads.

"Our two families have been separated for a long time. Although we have had contact with each other, we have never intermarried, and later we had no such idea."

He paused for a few seconds, then said, "Why do you ask that?"

Kyohiko hopes that Hinata can win over the Kaguya clan, which he can understand, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with "intermarriage".

What did this kid find out?

Japanese football team secretly speculated.

"I was just thinking that the Corpse Bone Pulse is a bloodline limit in terms of physique, which will have a certain amplification on the body. It does not conflict with the Byakugan, and there is even a possibility that they complement each other."

"Why haven't your two families considered intermarriage?"

After Jingyan finished explaining the reason,

Hiashi paused for a few seconds, looked at Hizashi, and remained silent for a long time.

People of the same clan complement each other.

This is something I really hadn't considered at all.

The two remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, Hiashi looked at Kyohiko.

"Your guess..."

He hesitated.

Admittedly, Jingyan's conjecture was bizarre, but it struck a chord with him.

Hiashi has always wanted to restore the glory of Hyuga Tennin.

The harder he tried, the more he realized that it would be difficult to reach that level by relying solely on the Hyuga clan's heritage.

If one possessed the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse), or if the Hyuga clan's physique were even stronger...

"Kyohiko, I understand why you've come."

Japanese athlete Riji took a deep breath.

He thought for a moment and said, "If such an opportunity arises, I can send someone to the Land of Water on behalf of the Hyuga clan."

"This is a matter for the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and we will all take action. However, the key to this is your Hyuga clan."

Kyohiko reiterated his opinion.

Japan nodded.

Once an agreement is reached, there is no need for further discussion between the two sides.

Many things are not suitable to be said face to face.

After Kyohiko left, Hiashi remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

"Hizashi, have you ever seen the Second Hokage?"

"I have some impression of it, but it's not deep."

Daily difference answer.

Hiashi said, "I used to think that Kyohiko was very similar to the Second Hokage, but now I think that the Second Hokage was definitely not as powerful as Kyohiko when he was young."

Hijiri agreed with his brother's opinion.

but.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Are we really going to cooperate with them and try to win over the Kaguya clan?"

"His guess is not without merit."

Rizu sighed.

This possibility is too tempting!

"I will go in place of my brother when the time comes."

Hijiri spoke up.

A hint of surprise appeared on Riji's face.

After a moment, he composed himself and said, "No need. Just send a few people when the time comes."

"Brother, the Kaguya clan is no ordinary family. Sending just anyone would not be successful and could easily alienate the Kaguya clan. As for me, as long as you are willing to cooperate, it would not be difficult for me to replace you."

The sun's reflection is clear.

Japan remained silent.

He could sense that his younger brother genuinely wanted to go in his place.

If such a situation were to actually occur, visiting the Kaguya clan would be extremely dangerous, and even with Kyohiko's ANBU protection, the chances of survival would be slim.

Japan suddenly felt a little guilty.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then fell silent.

"Brother, next time you visit the Kaguya clan, please dress up as me."

The sun's reflection is clear.

Hiashi looked at his younger brother.

They looked almost identical, the only difference being the caged bird mark on their foreheads. Hizashi would cover the mark with his forehead protector, while he would not.

"it is good."

After a long silence, Japan finally agreed.

Then, in a low voice, he said, "Hizashi, I swear, I will make sure your child enters the main family!"

"This kind of thing..."

Hizashi's throat moved slightly, and he continued, "I didn't do this for it."

"I know."

I'm experiencing some writer's block and it's a bit slow.
