Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 16 For Peace, I Want to Be Hokage!

hostel.

The group sat together, eating some of the more famous takeout food from Tanabata Street. Tsunade and Jiraiya drank sake, showing signs of getting a little tipsy.

Jingyan felt uneasy.

Since they started eating, Tsunade's gaze had been frequently drawn to him.

Isn't this just an excuse to try and squeeze some money out of others?

I definitely want to keep it quiet!

Jingyan buried his head in his rice.

Jiraiya asked, "Tsunade, what time do we depart tomorrow?"

"When did I say I wanted to go back?"

Tsunade lowered her head. "Tomorrow, could you take Shizune back for me?"

Jingyan stood to the side, wanting to add fuel to the fire, but he knew very well that it was not the right time for him to speak.

Jiraiya, Shizune.

You two, give it your all!

"Lady Tsunade, I won't leave! Your health..."

Jingyin was so anxious that she stood up.

She understands perfectly.

Although Tsunade is strong, she suffers from hemophobia. If the opponent really wants to capture Tsunade, they can easily take her down by simply drawing blood.

How could she not feel at ease?

Jiraiya said, "Tsunade, you know your own situation. Do you really want to take this risk?"

Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi were filled with doubts.

Lady Tsunade...

What exactly is the problem?

They listened with curiosity, but hesitated to ask.

Tsunade sneered, "What good would it do for me to go back to a medical ninja suffering from hemophobia?"

What?

Kakashi and Kurenai were immediately shocked.

Hemophobia! !

No wonder Lady Tsunade wanted to leave Konoha!

Once you get this kind of illness, you can basically say goodbye to your ninja career.

Medical ninjas are especially prone to this.

Normally, treating injuries and illnesses inevitably involves surgery and drawing blood, but with this condition, surgery is basically out of the question.

Unfortunately, Tsunade is the pride of Konoha's medical ninjas...

Jingyan was also slightly surprised.

Tsunade's defenses were breached.

What I didn't expect was—

She didn't wait for Jiraiya's reply and looked directly at Kyohiko.

"Kid, you were quite the talker before. Tell me, what use would I be if I went back?"

Tsunade's gaze was dark.

Jingyan was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and quickly organized his thoughts.

The opportunity is coming!

"I don't know anything about medical ninjutsu or hemophobia, but I do know that for a ninja like you, experience, skill, and reputation are all very useful. For example, hasn't Shizune's medical ninjutsu improved day by day under your tutelage?"

Silent nodded repeatedly.

Tsunade didn't answer, but silently drank another cup.

"If being a teacher isn't your ambition, then why don't you try becoming Hokage? If you're dissatisfied with or don't agree with a policy, then resolve it as Hokage."

Kyohiko's expression was serious. "Konoha's well-developed medical ninja system has saved countless ninjas, and your status and prestige are sufficient to make you Hokage."

"Kyohiko!"

Jiraiya panicked upon hearing this.

This kid just says whatever comes to mind.

Naruto...

This is Tsunade's most sensitive topic!

Tsunade gave a cold laugh.

"Kid, Hokage... what do you know?"

"I'm young and I don't really understand, but I will aim to become Hokage and accomplish what I want to achieve."

Jingyan's youthful face was serious and earnest.

Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi didn't even blink.

Kyohiko's thoughts and manner of speaking made them feel like he was a senior like Jiraiya and Tsunade, rather than someone their age.

also--

That's brave!

How could they dare to say such a thing?

The other person is Tsunade!

Tsunade was also stunned.

She began to understand what Jiraiya meant by "thoughts and ideas".

This child's thinking is on a completely different level from that of ordinary children; it's like a game-changer.

In Jingyan, she seemed to vaguely see the shadows of two other people.

Tsunade paused.

Jingyan continued eating, completely oblivious to the fact that he was the center of attention.

He ate his meal calmly.

Jiraiya was drinking, but his eyes were actually fixed on Tsunade.

He was terrified of Tsunade slamming her hand on the table!

The kind that gets smashed.

but.

Tsunade just smiled, though the smile was a little scary, but...

They didn't actually take any action.

"You're not satisfied with the village?"

"Not satisfied!"

Jingyan put down his chopsticks and bowl.

He said earnestly, "We have all lost loved ones in the war. Should we be satisfied with the current state of the village? I want to become Hokage and eliminate war!"

"..."

Jiraiya's eyelids twitched.

This kid has the kind of boldness that comes from dancing on a grave.

Tsunade propped her head up, glancing sideways at Kyohiko, her expression quite calm.

"Eliminating war? It's not that easy."

"You think you won't be disappointed if you don't even try? I don't think that's right."

Jingyan cleared away the dishes.

Output complete, run away quickly!

He stood up and bowed.

"Sorry, I'm going to training."

Kakashi quickly finished eating, chimed in, and hurried off.

The atmosphere is so oppressive!

It's better to train.

Tsunade leaned back, looking at Shizune and Kurenai Yuhi, her tone calm.

"Aren't you going to training?"

"I'm full too!"

Kurenai was so frightened that her face turned pale. She immediately stopped eating, put down her chopsticks, bowed, and left quickly.

I'm still a little worried about keeping it silent.

Tsunade's aura was terrifying at this moment, but—

She was even more worried that Tsunade would ignore her and leave right then and there.

Tsunade could do that.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go outside."

Only Jiraiya and Tsunade remained in the room.

The two drank their wine in silence.

A few seconds later, Tsunade snorted coldly, downed the drink in her hand in one gulp, and sullenly prepared to drink another cup.

Jiraiya stopped him.

"Stop drinking."

"Can't we even drink alcohol anymore?"

Tsunade glanced at it, then silently finished her next cup and didn't drink any more.

After a while, she threw the bottle away.

"I'm gone."

"Where to?"

"Let's get some fresh air on the rooftop."

Tsunade waved.

The two went to the rooftop.

Looking down from here, you can see how Kyohiko, Kakashi, and the others are training.

"Hokage, what's so good about that position?"

"..."

Even Jiraiya couldn't answer.

Because he wasn't particularly interested in the Hokage position, otherwise he would definitely have been nominated for the next Hokage.

Tsunade looked up.

"I've been scolded like this by your student, aren't you going to do anything? For example, why don't you stand guard for your student and try to change those old fogies in the village?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, if I become Hokage, then the problem you want to solve will be me."

Jiraiya blushed.

Tsunade fiddled with the sake bottle, a cold glint in her eyes: "Let's go back and find out which side sent these guys. Let's get to the bottom of this first."

"If it's safe, I won't stop you from leaving."

Jiraiya said.

Tsunade lowered her head and didn't respond.

under--

The three of them worked very hard.

"Let's see."

……

You successfully persuaded a wandering Kage-level ninja (crippled) and an elite Genin to return to the village.

Successful talent acquisition is key to the village's prosperity; please continue your efforts, Hokage.

[Reward: Super Strength (Beginner)]

What the hell!

It actually worked!

After some contemplation, Jingyan roughly understood the situation of the superhuman strength technique.

The beginner-level super strength technique only requires basic skills and knowledge. Further in-depth understanding and practice are needed, and this technique requires extremely strong chakra control ability.

The basics of superhuman strength techniques require you to master them on your own.

In other words.

Is there any risk involved in using it?

and many more!

This reward isn't right. Tsunade is back, how come she only got the beginner-level Super Strength Technique?

Jingyan's gaze swept over the explanation.

"Temporary" and "disabled".

It seems...

The problem lies in these two things.

Fine.

Jingyan didn't have any good ideas for the time being, so he could only console himself—

What kind of bicycle do you want?

It's already pretty good that you've learned superhuman strength!

With continued exploration and practice, and by finding ways to extract some rewards from Tsunade, there is still hope of gradually honing one's skills to a higher level.
