Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 88 Tsunade, she's truly amazing!

Konoha Hospital.

A large crowd had gathered outside the operating room.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

Sarutobi Biwako glanced around, then looked at the operating room, a hint of helplessness on her face.

This Tsunade...

They all went to a meeting and still managed to cause trouble!

She had naturally heard about it.

Tsunade brought a person who had lost their medical ninja abilities into the operating room, saying that they needed to undergo stimulation and adaptation treatment.

Isn't this ridiculous?

She sighed softly.

"Stop crowding around, disperse!"

"yes!"

Although Sarutobi Biwako wasn't the hospital director, she held a high position in the hospital and was also the Hokage's wife, so no one dared to disobey her.

Just as they were about to disperse, the operating room door opened, and Tsunade's shadow clone walked out. Seeing the commotion, she immediately smiled and asked, "Everyone's here?"

"Tsunade, you're going too far!"

Sarutobi Biwako reprimanded in a low voice.

Tsunade chuckled, lowered her head, and whispered, "Taji's got it!"

"What?"

Sarutobi Biwako was stunned for a moment, finding it hard to believe her ears.

Tsunade had no choice but to repeat it.

Soon after, Sheci followed behind.

She finished up the work and came out to vouch for Tsunade.

"Teacher, Tianci participated in the entire treatment process, and according to observation, his abilities have met the standards for returning to the team."

"It's still early, he needs more treatment!"

Tsunade immediately stopped her.

Good guy.

He's just recovered, and he already wants to poach people from headquarters?

How heartless!

She looked displeased, while Sheci chuckled and shrank to the side without making a sound.

Sarutobi Biwako asked, "Really?"

"Hmm, his chakra scalpel is very precise, and his incisions are quick and accurate. He truly deserves to be called a medical ninja from the battlefield."

Sheci's tone was filled with admiration.

Sarutobi Biwako seemed a little dazed, and unconsciously replied, "Of course, back then, he was the best among medical ninjas, able to perform surgery even in the most difficult treatment environments..."

She couldn't help but look at Tsunade.

At first, she thought Tsunade was just fooling around, but now it seems that the other party has a process and plan, and may have really mastered the treatment methods for these diseases before daring to do it.

The onlookers were even more excited than she was, and they surrounded Tsunade's shadow clones, asking her questions.

Since Tsunade intended to promote the topic, she didn't hide anything and gave a general explanation of "mental illness," as well as recounting her own medical treatment process.

Most of those present were hospital staff.

They may not understand psychotherapy, but they do understand healing. Tsunade's words were well-organized and didn't seem like she was lying.

only……

Why didn't Taji come out?

Everyone looked into the operating room.

The patient has been taken to the ward on a stretcher.

As he was pondering this, Tianci leaned against the wall and walked out, taking off his surgical gown as he went. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, and there were traces of tears on his face.

Upon seeing everyone, he immediately stood up straight, his expression resolute.

"Lord Biwako, Lady Tsunade, the medical ninja Taji requests to return to the hospital!"

"permit!"

Sarutobi Biwako's cheeks trembled.

When Tsunade fully returned, she was shocked and happy, delighted that Tsunade had overcome her nightmares, and believed that this was another miracle created by Tsunade.

Everyone was deeply moved and impressed.

Because she is Tsunade, her abilities and will are as strong as steel.

Everyone thinks that way, including Sarutobi Biwako.

Now, Tsutsugu has proven that Tsunade's theories and methods can be replicated and are not entirely a reflection of her personal abilities and will.

This is a treatment method!

Many similar ninjas are saved!

Overwhelmed with emotion, Sarutobi Biwako patted Tatsuji on the shoulder, then grasped Tsunade's hand, speechless for a long time.

As a medical ninja, nothing is more joyful than seeing such a scene!

After a long while, she faced everyone.

"Stop crowding around, get to work!"

"yes!"

……

Konoha is not small, but it's not very big either.

News of the hospital visit quickly spread throughout the village.

Initially, the information was disseminated truthfully. Tsunade used her unique and systematic medical methods to successfully save Taji, who has now participated in one surgery.

but.

Later on, Tsunade used one technique and all of Taji's problems disappeared.

And then later—

"Have you heard? When Taji heard about Lady Tsunade's deeds, he immediately recovered from his illness and went straight back to the hospital."

"Who is Taji?"

"That guy who carries water all day, the one with scars on his face and hands, he used to be a medical ninja, didn't you know?"

"Oh, him!"

The Jonin is too far away; nobody knows him.

The fields are different.

He used to be a medical ninja, and later he often did D-rank missions, so he interacted with a lot of people and was quite well-known among the elderly.

These are precisely the main forces behind the spread of information on the streets and alleys.

……

Inside the conference hall of the Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained the situation and then looked at the four people.

"You are all high-ranking members and decision-makers in the village, so please share your thoughts."

That's what they say—

In reality, his attention was mostly focused on Tsunade and Jiraiya.

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood this very well.

As former comrades-in-arms, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were definitely biased towards Danzo, so he specifically asked Tsunade and Jiraiya to come over, just to hear a different perspective.

"Danzo..."

Jiraiya frowned.

Is this guy's appearance in Kyoto specifically to deal with the "wandering ninjas"?

Something just doesn't feel right.

Tsunade said, "Danzo acts rashly, but I don't think he would betray us."

Koharu and Mitokado breathed a sigh of relief.

They had thought that Tsunade would take this opportunity to kick Danzo while he was down, but to their surprise, Tsunade was quite fair and acknowledged Danzo's loyalty.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya.

"And you?"

"Uh, I think..."

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think it would be better to send the information here to Minato first, so that he can be prepared. Besides, he might have some new information over the past night."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly after hearing this.

"Okay, you can contact them now."

Danzo's matter cannot be taken lightly.

In particular, he had Kyohiko and Aburame Shiki destroy Danzo's secret base, based on Hiruzen Sarutobi's understanding of Danzo—

Danzo now is probably trying to find a way to continue implementing his "Root" ideas.

Jiraiya went out to communicate with spirits and make connections.

Hiruzen Sarutobi lightly tapped the table.

"Secondly, among the wandering ninja who made contact with the Daimyo, there is a high possibility that there are spies from Iwagakure. Currently, two children are staying with the Daimyo. What are your thoughts on this?"

"They must be eliminated!"

Mitomon Yando.

Tsunade sneered, "Senior, don't forget, they are now the Daimyo's handpicked 'Guardian Ninja.' Attacking them is tantamount to attacking the Daimyo's subordinates. Are you going to take responsibility for that?"

Mitomon Homura opened his mouth to argue, but after glancing at Koharu Utatane and Hiruzen Sarutobi, he obediently shut his mouth.

Such a huge responsibility, and you want him to shoulder it?

Are you kidding me?

Xiaochun, who was switching dorm rooms, did not answer.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the two of them, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this outcome.

"Tsunade, what's your opinion?"

"Lord Hokage, please handle this matter with care."

Tsunade said something completely pointless in a serious tone.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a moment.

Kids grow up, they're not so easy to fool anymore!

The Tsunade of the past would never have hesitated to speak her mind, but now, she has learned to hide her thoughts, becoming more composed and reserved, which makes her more like a qualified Hokage.

He felt both gratified and disappointed.

The new generation pushes the old one aside.

Perhaps I really should make room for myself.

After a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "In my opinion..."

Just as he was about to speak, the door was pushed open with a "bang".

Jiraiya hurriedly entered, his expression grave.

"Jiraiya, why are you still so clumsy?"

Xiaochun scolded him as he turned to another room.

Jiraiya rolled his eyes slightly.

Is this time of day and you're still being impatient?

He immediately exclaimed, "Master, something terrible has happened! Danzo has volunteered to become the Daimyo's guardian ninja, citing the need to protect him!"

"What?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi jumped to his feet, his face showing undisguised shock.

He never expected Danzo to pull this stunt!

Guardian Ninja.

This guy...

How could he even think of that!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand trembled slightly, and he finally lost his composure.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were even more astonished, saying, "Impossible! How could Danzo possibly have memorized it..."

They were about to speak when they suddenly stopped in terror.

betray?

This is not betrayal.

The Land of Fire and Konoha are one entity. In fact, in a sense, Konoha is controlled by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and they have a superior-subordinate relationship.

Danzo simply left Konoha and went to serve the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

but.

From their perspective, Danzo was tantamount to betrayal.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned ashen.

His lips trembled, and after a long while, he looked at Jiraiya: "Are you absolutely sure?"

"Yes, also, Minato is asking whether he needs to stay by the Daimyo's side to protect the Daimyo's safety."

Jiraiya said.

"No!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand.

He was very confused, but instinctively felt that he couldn't leave the water gate there.

Minato was no match for Danzo.

He took a deep breath and looked at Jiraiya.

"What about those two children named Kazuma and Takemasa?"

"They've been taken into custody. Danzo brought a Yamanaka clan ninja with him and even invited Minato to join the interrogation. They seem unaware of the situation so far, but I've taught them that the Land of Fire should be ruled by the Daimyo, and there shouldn't be a Hokage."

Jiraiya answered.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Danzo went to Kyoto, it was only to implement his own ideals, and he currently has no intention of opposing Konoha or destroying Konoha.

Secondly, those two children did indeed come with a mission.

Daimyo, Hokage.

They want to provoke conflict between the two sides!

After pondering for a long time, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Let Minato come back. Although Danzo has gone to the daimyo's side, for the time being, his goal is the same as ours."

"But……"

Tsunade's expression changed slightly.

Danzo left because of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Leaving Danzo near the Daimyo would definitely pose a significant threat to Konoha!

Koharu Utatane said, "Tsunade, we understand your concerns, but Danzo is now the Daimyo's Guardian Shinobi. We can't just take action directly, can we?"

Tsunade fell silent.

After going around in circles, I unexpectedly found myself back at the starting point.

However, Danzo is a greater and more terrifying threat than those two children!

Mitokado Homura coughed lightly and said, "Although Danzo disagrees with our political views, his goal is still for the prosperity of the Land of Fire and Konoha, and that will not change."

"I hope so."

Tsunade suppressed her emotions, appeared calm again, and sat down.

Xiaochun was quite surprised to be transferred to another dormitory.

In the past, the conference room table would probably have been destroyed...

She thought to herself.

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a breath.

"After a while, I will go and talk to the Daimyo and Danzo, and then we will draw up some rules and see what he really means."

He then sat down, sounding exhausted.

"Let's adjourn the meeting."

"Hiruzen..."

Koharu and Mitokado looked worried.

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand: "I'm fine. Please keep these two matters confidential for now and don't reveal them to anyone."

"yes!"

The five people dispersed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked to the door.

A breeze blew through the corridor, bringing a sliver of clarity to his hazy mind.

Then he heard whispers coming from below.

"Has Tajima really recovered?"

"Yes! This disease is called post-war sequelae. It was incurable before, but after Lady Tsunade recovered through willpower last time, she felt that there was a way to cure it. She has been studying it diligently recently and has finally made some progress."

"As expected of Lady Tsunade!"

"Thank goodness Lady Tsunade is back. Sigh, I thought she had left the village..."

There are just too many people discussing it.

Even though everyone lowered their voices, the others could still hear them.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was slightly taken aback.

Just then, someone came up from downstairs and they met in the hallway.

"Lake Biwa?"

"Hiruzen, this is the formal application I am submitting on behalf of the hospital."

Sarutobi Biwako presented a document.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took it and nodded slightly: "Let's talk in the office."

"Um."

The two entered the office.

I've finished watching Hiruzen Sarutobi when I had some free time.

In essence, most of the Konoha hospitals agreed to the establishment of the "Psychology Department" and were willing to provide short-term resource assistance to help the department be established quickly, hoping to gain Konoha's cooperation.

He put the documents aside.

Tsunade came to the meeting and quietly did something big.

amazing!

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled silently.

then.

He turned around, his face solemn.

How should we cooperate?

"Illusionist ninjas, the Yamanaka family, and secondly, the village provides a list of ninjas facing this kind of predicament. Tsunade needs to select a group of patients with strong wills."

Sarutobi Biwako answered.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

Although he was unaware of Tsunade's subsequent research, he had read her previous theories.

In the early stages of treatment at a psychiatric clinic, individuals with strong willpower are less likely to experience a loss of control and deterioration during the treatment process.

Tsunade was still rational and did not blindly expand the scope.

As for the illusion ninjas and the help from the Yamanaka family...

Biwako, as his wife, knew Hiruzen Sarutobi all too well.

Seeing his expression, she knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was definitely pondering something. She said, "You want to ask about the role of genjutsu ninjas and the Yamanaka family, right? Genjutsu is the medical field that Tsunade found, and she named it Nirvana Technique."

"To be reborn from adversity?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly.

He then bent down and took a document from the cabinet.

"This is the list."

"Hey, I rarely see you so easygoing. By the way, today I'm planning to celebrate Asuma officially becoming a genin. Remember to have Shinnosuke and the others come back for dinner too."

Sarutobi Biwako Road.

After hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned for a moment. Several seconds later, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid... it's not possible today."

"Again? Okay, what about you?"

"He probably doesn't want to see me."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen said."

Sarutobi Biwako rolled her eyes: "You old fogey, I think you're the one who should be seeing Tsunade!"

She turned and left in a huff.

……

Jingyan's family.

Tsunade, unusually, left her work to her shadow clone and went to his residence alone with a bottle of sake.

"Sister, congratulations! The psychology department has been established; one of your wishes has come true."

Jingyan glanced at the system notification.

[Thanks to your efforts, the Department of Psychiatry was established, and many ninjas suffering from mental illness will benefit from it, once again becoming the backbone of Konoha.]

[Reward: Increased Strength, Illusion Technique: Nirvana (Proficient)]

Double reward?

While Kyohiko was happy for Tsunade, he was also genuinely happy for himself.

All our hard work has finally paid off!

Unfortunately, the current situation is not suitable for a deep understanding of the two ninjutsu techniques.

He suppressed his excitement.

However, Tsunade's outward happiness made her burst into laughter.

"Haha, this wouldn't have been possible without your help. You're so full of clever ideas; I, on the other hand, can't think of so many ways. Hey, old man..."

She smiled and smiled, then put down her glass and finally sighed softly.

Kyohiko realized that Tsunade might have something on her mind. If she was simply celebrating, given her personality, she would probably go out with Jiraiya, Shizune, and others, and wouldn't go out for drinks with him alone.

After all, he was still a minor, so Tsunade was destined to drink alone in silence.

Tsunade drank a full cup.

"The person you sensed is Danzo, according to intelligence."

"Danzo?"

Jingyan was initially surprised, but then he felt there was nothing to be surprised about, as if...

As expected.

After all, he initially suspected that the people from Daimyo Prefecture might be from Danzo, but later found that it was a misjudgment.

but.

Danzo had a motive for doing so.

But after this incident, shouldn't it be Hiruzen Sarutobi who is heartbroken?

What is his relationship with Tsunade?

He was puzzled for a while, and then thought about it carefully for a long time before he understood.

"Because of Orochimaru?"

"Huh? Ha, how could I possibly..."

Tsunade forced a smile, then put down her wine glass. "Why did you guess it was Orochimaru?"

"I know Jiraiya's situation very well. He might get caught doing something like that, or he might write some strange books based on his experience, but it's unlikely that he'll go down the same path as Danzo."

Jingyan answered calmly.

Tsunade sighed, "Yes, Orochimaru... He's a person similar to you. He's been very smart since he was a child, he can learn anything quickly, he's full of curiosity about ninjutsu, and he wants to explore the essence of all ninjutsu."

She swirled her wine glass.

"Regarding Danzo's matter, although he didn't say it, I know he was the one helping him behind the scenes."

help……

Is it about Root Organization?

Jingyan immediately thought of "A's" mission.

Danzo kept the matter of "A" very secret; even Orochimaru, the original Orochimaru, was unaware that his experiments had any survivors. From this perspective...

Orochimaru went to investigate the Root organization for Tsunade's sake and eventually found the lucky one, "Kō".

It's highly likely.

The room remained silent for a long while.

Kyohiko understood why Tsunade wasn't talking to Jiraiya anymore.

If the two of them talk about this, the atmosphere will only become more somber.

After much consideration, Kyohiko said, "Perhaps he feels guilty towards you, after all, you personally handed Nawaki over to him, but in the end... the death of his companion was not so easy for him either."

"Him? How come...?"

Tsunade smiled, wanting to retort, but then she couldn't say anything.

Does she really understand Orochimaru?

She was heartbroken when Nawaki died, and at the time she didn't pay any attention to Orochimaru's feelings.

As for what happened later...

Outward appearance and mental state are not necessarily the same thing.

That guy has always been very reserved and doesn't easily reveal his inner thoughts to outsiders.

Thinking about it that way, it's actually quite possible!

Tsunade slapped her forehead and complained, "I've been drinking too much; my brain's a bit fuzzy!"

"Then don't drink it."

Kyohiko moved the bottle over and plugged it with the cork. "You're no longer an ordinary ninja; you're destined to become Hokage. You can't be content with the status quo."

"Um."

Tsunade looked up, but ultimately didn't move. She propped her head up with one hand, watching Kyohiko busy himself, and couldn't help but break into a bright smile. "I'm not drinking anymore, I have to work tomorrow!"

She got up, thought for a moment, and then sat down again.

"By the way, do you have the technique you want? I'll get it for you from the old man."

Need I say more?!

"Flying Thunder God!"

With the Flying Thunder God, you can go anywhere in the world without fear.

"Change to another one."

Tsunade sighed and explained, "The Flying Thunder God Technique requires a deep understanding of space-time ninjutsu and techniques to learn. With your current understanding of space-time ninjutsu and techniques, you definitely won't be able to learn it in a short time."

She chuckled as she spoke.

"Once I become Hokage and you've done something truly meritorious, will I still be worried about not seeing the scroll?"

Also.

After thinking about it, Jingyan quickly calmed down.

I was a little out of my mind just now.

He pondered for a long time.

A skill I don't know, but I might need it...

soon.

Jingyan thought of a technique and immediately said, "Sister is right, I should be able to use it. I've made considerable progress in speed and ninjutsu, but what I lack most right now is chakra. Do you have a way to solve that?"

"Chakra?"

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "There really is a way! This is a technique my grandmother taught me, called the Yin Seal."
