Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 251 Raikage: Use your job title when you're at work!

on board.

Xiao Jingjun breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the rooms of the Konoha ninjas, his heart still pounding.

That battle just now...

As an ordinary person, he naturally couldn't understand it, but even in the Land of Snow, he had heard of the names A and Killer Bee from the Hidden Cloud Village.

The former is the next successor of Kumogakure!

result.

Konoha sent out a clone, which easily defeated the opponent and even captured Killer Bee...

I wouldn't even dare to think about it!

"Has Konoha become this powerful now?"

He muttered to himself.

Someone nearby whispered, "Captain."

"Hmm? What is it? Do the adults of Konoha have any needs?"

"No, it's just that... should we..."

"Need not!"

Xiao Jingjun immediately waved his hand in refusal.

He took a deep breath and said, "Konoha has enough strength, so we can drive forward with confidence. If we encounter Iwagakure ninjas, they will definitely help us deal with them."

"yes!"

"Oh, right, send some fruit over too."

Koi Jun asked seriously.

During voyages, fruit is one of the most precious foods.

He remembered that there seemed to be someone in the team who was seasick, so he made a special order to save some money. Otherwise, even if they saved some, it would be worth a fortune back in the Snow Country!

Right now, we can't save money anymore; if we do, we might not even make it to the Land of Snow.

Inside the cabin.

Kyohiko wrote down the situation on the wooden tablets he created, and then sent them back to Konoha using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Only then did he look at Kirabi in the amber.

"Shikaku-senpai, what do you think?"

"The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, he transformed into the Eight-Tails form before, and there's no doubt he's mastered the ability to fully transform into a tailed beast. This is a huge threat to our village. Also..."

Nara Shikaku pondered for a moment and said, "I think we should imprison the Jinchuriki in Konoha."

"But wouldn't that cause conflict with Kumogakure?"

"Itsuki Kurenai whispered."

Lu Jiu shook his head.

"Whether we arrest them or not, they will clash with us because we are getting stronger and stronger, while their progress is far slower than ours, and they are even regressing."

With one side gaining and the other losing, how could Kumogakure and Iwagakure not be afraid?

According to his speculation, there will inevitably be a great war between the five great villages of the ninja world, and this war will continue until Konoha becomes like the situation during the era of Hashirama Senju.

but.

The previous war caused some changes in the landscape of the ninja world—

Sunagakure is completely destroyed!

The deaths of elites such as the Third Kazekage, Chiyo, and Ebizo deprived Sunagakure of the possibility of participating in the war.

Today, the five great ninja villages in the ninja world have actually split into three powerful ninja villages and two relatively weak ninja villages, with a huge gap between the top three ninja villages and the bottom two.

Top three...

Without a doubt, Konoha is now the undisputed number one.

As Shikaku finished speaking, Kyohiko raised his hand.

A few seconds later, footsteps began to sound outside. Then, Kurenai thanked the other person and came in carrying a plate of fruit.

Kurenai Yuhi smiled and said, "Captain Koi is probably worried about Kai, so he had some fruit sent over."

"Letting Kai fall asleep is the best thing you can do for him."

Kyohiko couldn't help but laugh.

Then, he continued to maintain the barrier, trying to isolate the sound as much as possible.

"Senior Shikaku, if the plan goes smoothly, I will share the spoils of the Snow Country mission with Sunagakure. We'll drag Sunagakure into the mire and further bind them to us!"

"Do you think it'll work?"

The Land of Snow has thick snow, but it also has abundant mineral resources.

Of course, people were sent to excavate the early snow and the wind.

but.

Firstly, Feng Hua Zao Xue couldn't possibly manage these businesses personally, and most of the profits were seized by Feng Hua Nu Tao and the nobles who had pledged allegiance to him.

Otherwise, Feng Hua Nu Tao wouldn't have the money to hire ninjas or research chakra armor.

Secondly, in the Land of Snow, the mining efficiency for ordinary people is still too low.

A ninja team would definitely be more professional than that!

If the two sides reach an agreement, the Land of Snow has no reason to refuse, and the Sand Village has even less reason to refuse.

The thing to worry about is—

Will the Land of Earth cause trouble? Will the Hidden Sand Village betray us?

These are precisely the two points that Shikaku is considering.

"There's no need to worry about Sunagakure. Even Rasa poses a very limited threat to us."

After mastering Magnet Release, Konoha was able to counter Magnet Release ninjutsu and Puppet Technique, and was not afraid of attacks from Sunagakure in siege battles.

The Sand Village ninjas had no advantage against them.

But Iwagakure Village...

"Onoki, move the men up there!"

Following Kyohiko's train of thought, Shikaku quickly came up with a solution.

Jiraiya had been active in the northern region with the aim of intimidating Iwagakure. He possessed the Flying Lightning Formation technique, allowing their ninjas to quickly support another battlefield.

This is a capability that no other ninja village possesses.

"Well, we shouldn't write it now. We can wait until we make some progress on the Snow Country side before writing the application."

……

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Tsunade leaned against her desk, her thoughts drifting, listless.

"Mute, are you done yet? Let's go home!"

"Lady Tsunade!"

"Ugh, this is so boring. It feels like every day I wake up I have to review village documents, and..."

Tsunade was speaking when she suddenly paused.

She looked at the documents in her hand.

"Jingyin, why has our expenditure on the orphanage decreased?"

"Oh, Nonou-senpai and Asami-senpai said that many children are now able to support themselves, and Kabuto is even earning extra money at Konoha Hospital, so they don't need as many expenses."

"Silent replied."

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly, and continued, "This expense will still be calculated as before. Tell Nonou that she doesn't need to be too frugal; reducing basic expenses can allow us to expand the orphanage."

As she spoke, the image of the three children from Amegakure inevitably came to mind…

There are many children in the outside world who can only survive by scavenging for garbage.

Tsunade sighed, "We can't cover too many areas, but we can check the surrounding area to see if there are any orphans..."

"yes!"

Silently, she took the documents and prepared to leave.

Tsunade immediately stopped her.

"etc!"

"Um?"

Silently turn around.

Tsunade waved her hand: "Give it to me, I'll have a shadow clone go. You go to the hospital to train, I can handle the paperwork here myself."

She smiled and said, "With Jingyan away these past few days, there have been far fewer documents in the village."

"puff!"

Shizune couldn't help but chuckle.

It's not that Kakashi handles documents more efficiently, but rather that Kyohiko has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, which is sure to cause a lot of trouble in the village.

"Well, I'm going to the hospital now."

"Hmm, since Kurenai isn't here, you'll have to mentor the new Pharmacist Kabuto."

"yes!"

It was only then that Jingyin realized that with Hong gone, Dou was now basically being cared for by Lin or the medical team.

She immediately set off for the hospital.

Not long after, Minato Namikaze arrived in an instant.

"Watergate?"

"Lord Hokage, there's an important situation regarding Kyohiko."

Minato Namikaze's expression was somewhat solemn.

Tsunade sensed something was wrong, rubbing her temples, and said, "Could they have gotten into a conflict with Kumogakure?"

"Uh, you guessed right."

Minato chuckled dryly and handed over the scroll.

Tsunade took it, sighed, and said, "It's not that I guessed accurately, it's just that I know the temperaments and abilities of Kumogakure and Kyohiko well enough that if the two sides meet, things will turn out badly."

She opened the scroll, and then her expression gradually became serious.

Tsunade anticipated that things would be serious.

but.

She never expected that Jingyan could make things this big!

Capture the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki Rabbi...

The conflict between Kumogakure and Konoha was directly torn open by a huge rift, but this was not actually a trap set by Kyohiko.

Despite repeated warnings from Shikaku, Ai remained determined to capture Shikaku.

"The attitude of the Hidden Cloud Village has undoubtedly formed an alliance with at least one side..."

Minato Namikaze glanced at the map beside him. "Iwagakure is more likely!"

"It could also be three villages."

Gang pointed to the three above.

Earth, Thunder, Water.

Minato recalled the intelligence, then frowned: "They've joined forces with Madara?"

He reacted extremely quickly.

Kirigakure is currently controlled by Madara, but in terms of strength, it is slightly inferior to Iwagakure and Kumogakure, and the three villages did not have a deep connection before.

The sudden alliance must be related to Madara.

Tsunade nodded, then couldn't help but scrutinize Minato closely.

Minato didn't have much intelligence, yet he was able to analyze all of this based on just a few words, which shows his wisdom and ability...

She couldn't help but say, "Minato, you need to get more active these days. How about taking charge of a class?"

"The shift leader?"

Minato pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"I have no intention of taking over the class in the short term. Just the Nine-Tails is enough to keep me busy. I can't rest easy if I take over the class and only have Kushina and it left."

As he said this, he looked outside.

"Furthermore, Konoha needs someone to guard it right now."

Jingyan is very strong.

However, Kyohiko had more to think about. In terms of the big picture, Minato knew he was no match for Kyohiko, so rather than fighting each other, he decided to take a step back.

Cooperation is the key to the future!

Minato didn't explain it clearly, but Tsunade had already seen through his thoughts.

She let out a long sigh.

I feel very heavy-hearted.

Minato and Kyohiko are both top-tier geniuses, one in a generation, but unfortunately, they were born in the same era...

While it was Konoha's good fortune, it was also, to some extent, a personal misfortune.

She sighed.

"Watergate..."

"Don't worry, I really enjoy my life now. Konoha is getting better and better, and everyone can live a happy and fulfilling life. As for the war..."

Minato Namikaze's eyes were resolute. "With us here, the war won't affect anyone in the village!"

Initially, his dream was to become Hokage.

After that, he wanted to bring peace to the ninja world.

And now.

Watergate discovered that both of the first two methods were extremely difficult.

With Tsunade preceding him and Kyohiko following him, his chances of becoming Hokage are really slim.

As for peace in the ninja world.

Now, his goal is to bring peace to Konoha.

Protect Konoha and the Land of Fire.

The Ninja World...

It's too big and there are too many people.

Minato sighed, somewhat bewildered.

Tsunade glanced at it and laughed, "Why are you sighing? You're a smart person, you should know that neither becoming Hokage nor achieving peace is that easy, even for Kyohiko..."

She paused.

"Even if it's him, is his claim of unifying the ninja world necessarily correct?"

"How will you know if it's right or wrong if you don't do it?"

Tsunade's tone was serious.

Minato was stunned.

"Look at Jiraiya, he listens to what Kyohiko says, but he still wants to see and verify it for himself. He's been running around in the north and looking around all this time."

Tsunade leaned back in her chair, her tone serious.

Minato is very talented and has a strong mind; she doesn't want to see him spend his time in confusion.

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment and said, "I'll think about it carefully."

"Oh, right, this..."

He pointed to the scroll.

"The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is too important. Let Kyohiko keep an eye on him for now. Sending him back directly could easily cause unnecessary complications."

Tsunade has made her decision.

Then, she smiled and said, "Tell Kyohiko that if all else fails, try extracting a portion of the Eight-Tails and then sending some of the Jinchuriki back."

Minato's eyes lit up.

indeed!

While the Eight-Tails isn't as powerful as the Nine-Tails, it's still a formidable force among the nine tailed beasts. If most of their power were extracted...

Even if Killer Bee returns, it will be a huge loss for the Hidden Cloud Village.

exactly.

Kyohiko possesses such an ability!

Minato's lips curled into a slight smile.

"Now I know how to reply."

Then, he said goodbye and departed with Flying Thunder God.

……

In the Land of Lightning, when the Third Raikage received the news that Killer Bee had been captured, he was completely stunned.

Who has such strength?

but.

When he opened the scroll and carefully looked at the message that had been sent over, he immediately lost his temper.

Yoshimine Kyohiko!

It's that same person again.

and.

What's even more outrageous is that this time it was just Yoshimine Kyohiko's wooden clone...

"It's unbelievable that a mere wooden clone possesses such immense power!"

The Third Raikage took a deep breath.

He looked at his assistant beside him.

"Send me to the front-line outpost; I want to speak with them directly!"

"But……"

The assistant next to him was dumbfounded.

Although they had mastered the art of sending creatures from the heavens, they had only practiced it for two or three years and were not very proficient, so they could not send living creatures at all.

Although the Raikage could escape unscathed using the Heavenly Teleportation Technique, this was the first time they had ever been teleported such a long distance.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The Third Raikage's temper was difficult to control.

Chirabi.

This was Ai's right-hand man, and a powerful trump card for their Hidden Cloud Village. Now that he had been captured by Kyohiko, how could he be willing to accept it?

The key is.

According to the scroll, Konoha seems to be in the right this time...

He doesn't care whether you pay attention or not.

However, he had to consider Jingyan's strength.

If a single Wood Clone can defeat the current A and Killer Bee, then the war with Konoha may need to be reconsidered.

After Tiansong's surgery.

He instantly arrived at an island in the Land of Lightning.

When he emerged from the spatial passage, his skin was cracked open, and streams of blood oozed out.

Those people's Heavenly Delivery Technique was indeed immature.

Even the Third Raikage went through many hardships during the teleportation; if he hadn't had a strong physical body, he wouldn't have been able to survive.

Upon arriving, the Raikage immediately shouted, "Where is everyone?!"

next second.

Ai quickly appeared in front of him.

Bang!

With one punch, Ai was sent flying into the ground.

The Raikage roared, "Didn't I tell you to be careful? Why are you still so impatient?"

"I'm sorry, Father!"

Ai got up.

He did not use his Lightning Release Armor to defend himself.

At this moment, Ai was filled with regret and guilt.

The Third Raikage was short of breath and almost threw another punch, but he managed to suppress his anger when he saw the injuries on A's body.

"What father? Address me by my title!"

"Yes, Lord Raikage!"

Ai got up, her body half-covered in blood.

His wound has reopened!

"Explain everything clearly, down to the last detail!"

"yes!"

Ai quickly described the whole process.

After hearing this, the Third Raikage breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a sneak attack!

He said that no matter how strong Yoshimine Kyohiko was, he couldn't possibly defeat both Ai and Killer Bee at the same time.

They launched a sneak attack, first knocking A away, and then, taking advantage of Killer Bee's unfamiliarity with the Flying Thunder God Technique, used it to teleport away with the Tailed Beast Ball.

The tactics were brilliant!

However, if they had known sufficient intelligence beforehand, they might not have suffered such a crushing defeat.
