Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 91 Danzo, you have absolutely no ability to be Hokage.

Outside the leaves.

"Konoha has returned."

Minato Namikaze's face was beaming with joy.

Back in the village, he could finally see the person he had been longing to see...

Kyohiko couldn't help but say, "Minato, I think you shouldn't be so quick to be happy."

"Haha, I have to thank you for Yuzuki's matter. Although she still resists contact with Kushina, Kushina is already very happy that she can live safely and happily in Konoha."

Minato Namikaze thought that Kyohiko was referring to the Uzumaki family.

however.

Kyohiko replied, "I wasn't referring to Yuzuki. Do you remember what we heard in the Land of Tea?"

Minato Namikaze's expression froze.

What I heard was naturally about Danzo.

When they heard in the Land of Tea that Danzo had become the leader of the Guardian Shinobi, they were all very surprised.

There is no ninja village in the land of tea.

but.

Even here, the news that Danzo became a guardian ninja protecting the daimyo was something that every traveling merchant had heard of to some extent.

Even the land of tea is like this.

What about the other countries?

Danzo is no ordinary person. He was Konoha's number two figure in previous years, who stirred up trouble and made waves in the ninja world. Now, however, he has become a close associate of the daimyo.

Many of the ninja villages that are currently observing may take some action.

Minato's brow furrowed with worry, yet he couldn't help but sigh softly, "We may be Jonin, but we're so young, there's nothing we can do..."

In two or three months, Jingyan will be nine years old.

Among Jonin, this is still a record-breaking age, and Minato Namikaze is now almost twenty years old, having already shown the prowess of the "Yellow Flash" after mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique.

however.

In terms of status, Minato Namikaze has not changed much.

His status and prestige rose steadily during the Third Shinobi World War.

Minato Namikaze sighed softly.

Then, seeing Kakashi and Might Guy, he forced a smile and said, "Cheer up! At least over the past few months, our strength has been steadily improving, hasn't it?"

"Um."

Kakashi nodded.

Over the past few months, everyone in their team has indeed improved rapidly, but Jingyan...

Since mastering a special sealing technique, he has been slacking off in battle.

Kakashi was somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, I'm just doing this for training purposes, so I'll avoid taking action if possible. But if I need to take action, I can unleash even stronger chakra."

Jingyan smiled.

Tsunade's perineal seal; Minato Namikaze, having studied the Flying Thunder God Technique, possessed extremely high proficiency in sealing techniques.

Over the past two months, he has already finished most of it.

This trip was finally a success!

The system panel now displays the logo for the Yin Seal Entry.

Currently, he can only develop one "pool".

Unlike Sakura Haruno, who opened two pools, one for regular combat and the other for storing chakra.

However, Kyohiko doesn't need to store up all his chakra to practice the "Hundred Healings Technique." He only needs to store chakra for emergency use.

In critical missions, one can directly use sealing techniques to seal the "pool" or even release the chakra within the "pool" to restore oneself to a level even stronger than at one's peak.

In less than three months, he mastered the Yin Seal.

It's not fast, but it's definitely not slow either.

In addition, Nirvana Technique and Shadow Clone Technique have also been improved.

Because he had to reduce his chakra after creating the first pool, he put more effort into his shadow clones and succeeded a while ago.

Master-level Shadow Clone Techniques consume less chakra during the process and can incorporate elemental nature transformations, turning the Shadow Clone Technique into a special type.

For example, the Lightning Release clone.

As for the Nirvana Technique, it was merely an incidental improvement that occurred during the research of the Yin Seal.

however.

As news of Danzo spreads, Tsunade launches an offensive, and war is imminent.

Their current strength is not enough to put Kyohiko at ease.

I wonder what state Konoha is in now.

"Let's go."

……

Everyone immediately noticed something was wrong.

They went on this mission last month, and now, more than twenty days later, Konoha is filled with a repressive and tense atmosphere.

Kyohiko used chakra to enhance his hearing.

soon--

He heard whispers in the alley and inside the houses.

"Sigh, how could someone as wise as the Third Hokage have tolerated Danzo for so many years?"

"Brilliant? Hard to say!"

"I agree with Lady Tsunade's point of view. Genin don't need that much theoretical knowledge. They need to master basic skills such as ninjutsu and throwing, and know how to cooperate with their teammates..."

"But the three generations of officials have consistently refused to pass the bill."

"Lord Hiruzen has been Hokage for too long; he has forgotten what a genin truly needs."

various voices.

The common point is—

There is already considerable dissatisfaction among the public towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This is completely different from the original timeline.

The original Hiruzen Sarutobi resigned after the war due to excessive losses, not because he lost the trust of the people.

The most fatal thing was Danzo's affair.

People don't know much about Danzo, but they know he is quite powerful. He was the former leader of Konoha's Anbu and could be considered the number two figure in Konoha, but now he has turned his back on the village.

And now.

It can be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi's original foundation for regaining the Hokage title was completely undermined by a series of schemes.

……

Konoha Building, Hokage's Office.

"Hiruzen, given the current situation, you must stand up and refute the rumors, otherwise things will be very disadvantageous for you!"

"Debunking the rumors?"

Mitokado Yan looked at Utatane Koharu, hesitating to speak.

Debunking rumors is acceptable, but there must be rumors to refute.

The current situation is that what everyone is saying is true.

Danzo's departure from Konoha to aid the Daimyo is an undeniable fact.

Ninja graded education.

Tsunade did bring it up several times, and in the past two or three months, she debated it repeatedly, analyzing the many advantages and disadvantages of the classification system. Her attitude was restrained, sincere, and pragmatic.

The fatal thing is—

For the last time, Tsunade stopped arguing with them.

debate?

Meaningless!

She wrote down her plan and went directly to discuss it with the villagers, ostensibly under the pretext of…

Public opinion survey research.

No one had ever done this before. Tsunade's actions were beyond the scope of the three old men's expectations, but the problem was that the common people approved of Tsunade's methods.

Theoretical knowledge?

Becoming stronger as quickly as possible so that you can survive missions and battles is the top priority!

Only when you are alive will you have time to learn and become stronger.

Jingyan naturally helped a little in this matter.

"Hiruzen, I think you should keep an eye on Tsunade; she's acting too recklessly."

When Koharu saw that Hiruzen Sarutobi did not answer, she immediately gave her own thoughts.

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally raised an eyebrow.

"Tube?"

He looked at his two former companions.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had always valued these two highly, but he increasingly felt that—

Compared to his two companions, he was also following the trend of the times.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly.

He looked at Koharu, who was turning to the next dorm: "How are you going to manage this?"

"this……"

"Tsunade has fame, status, and achievements. What she did was for the village, and her actions were recognized by the villagers and many ninjas. What reason is there to interfere?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was serious.

This is an open conspiracy.

But he had reached the end of his road.

Hiruzen Sarutobi straightened his robes, stood up, looked at the village he had protected for over ten years, and said calmly, "Go do your own thing. I want to think about what to do next on my own."

"this--"

"Let's go."

Mitokado Yan tugged at Koharu's sleeve.

Even he could see that Koharu's two proposed solutions were utterly pointless and simply not on the same level as the other party's.

Hiruzen Sarutobi lit his pipe and looked at the cabinet next to him, where there was a family photo.

"Next month is your birthday, I should be able to help you celebrate."

……

When he got home, Jingyan planned to clean as usual, but found the house very clean, as if someone came to clean it every day.

I took a walk around.

Hmm, very good, there are signs of someone's presence.

In the study, there were even things left on the seat that women used to tie their hair.

Tsunade has entered the house?

Jingyan glanced around.

Not long after, a faint sound of turning pages came from the room at the very top.

He was slightly taken aback.

Haven't left yet?

and.

This kind of chakra doesn't seem like Tsunade's; it's more like Kurenai Yuhi's.

Jingyan carefully pushed open the door to the small room on the roof.

Then--

He saw Kurenai sitting cross-legged in the room, surrounded by various books, her body in a hand seal position for refining chakra.

Kurenai opened her eyes, first with surprise, then blushing with embarrassment.

"You're back? I'm sorry, the teacher said you have many books on sealing knowledge, as well as scrolls related to Yin Seals, and told me to come to your house to read them..."

She lowered her head.

But soon, she looked up in astonishment, staring at Jingyan's brow.

There is a faint diamond-shaped sign in that location.

This is the outward manifestation of the Yin Seal.

"you……"

"It can be considered a success. However, the Yin Seal has its drawbacks. It takes a long time to store, but it can be released in one go. If it cannot be used up in a battle, it will require a lot of energy to seal it back, and there may even be a great loss."

Having mastered the Yin Seal, Kyohiko understood even more why Tsunade would later create the "Hundred Healings Technique".

The utilization rate of a simple Yin seal is too low!

"Yes, I've noticed that too. Do you have a solution?"

"I'm thinking about it."

Kyohiko replied.

He looked around and smiled, "I won't bother you anymore."

"I...I think I'll leave first."

Her face flushed red in the evening sun.

With Jingyan not here, she can stay here and help look after all those books.

But it would be inappropriate for her to keep it if the owner returned.

Hong took the books downstairs and put them away, then fled in a panic, with no intention of staying any longer.

Jingyan chuckled, fed himself a soldier's ration pill to replenish his depleted energy, and was about to go to sleep when suddenly, a faint sound came from behind him.

At the same time, the body reacts immediately.

call out!

Use the Instantaneous Movement Technique to dodge.

At the same time, chakra erupted, transforming into a torrent that surged forward.

Bang!

The visitor raised his cane.

Protected by chakra, the cane pierced through the chakra flow like a sharp sword.

But the next moment.

Kara!

Jingyan instantly appeared in front of him, and a tremendous force surged from his fist, shattering the cane.

Danzo looked at the cane, now only half-finished, and remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I made a mistake."

"Oh?"

Jingyan instantly moved away, his eyes showing vigilance.

At present, Danzo seems to have no desire to attack, but he dares not underestimate someone like Danzo. At this moment, the Yin Seal has been broken to the final step—

With just a thought, the seal can be completely broken, unleashing its strongest power!

Even in that state, he still wouldn't be a match for Danzo, but at least he could hold out for a while.

"I shouldn't have come here in person back then. You have that kind of value, but unfortunately... your strength has improved too quickly, which led me to make the wrong judgment."

Danzo sighed.

Jingyan frowned: "What's the point of you saying all this?"

"You are different from Hiruzen and Jiraiya. In fact, you are more like me and Orochimaru. I sincerely invite you to join the Guardian Ninja and work hard for our goal."

"What's the goal?"

"Unify the ninja world and make Konoha the only ninja village. This will eliminate war. Ideas like Hiruzen's and Jiraiya's are too naive and simply won't work."

Danzo's eyes revealed fanaticism.

Jingyan did not answer.

This old man also expressed the idea of unifying the ninja world at the Five Kage Summit in later years, so his current goal is somewhat surprising, but not too unexpected.

To his surprise, Danzo actually thought that he might follow the other party, so he came to win him over.

What do you think?

Jingyan smiled and said, "Regardless of what I think, I have many choices now, so why should I follow you?"

"I'm sorry..."

Disappointment was evident in Danzo's eyes.

He sighed softly.

"I thought someone as intelligent as you would definitely agree with my opinion."

"I heard that you and the Hokage were both disciples of the Second Hokage?"

Jingyan countered with a question.

Danzo remained silent.

Jingyan smiled and continued, "Do you know why the Second Hokage chose the Hokage?"

At that moment, Danzo's gaze turned fierce, and he gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Oh? I'd like to hear your opinion, young man!"

"Because you are simply not suited to be Hokage."

Jingyan said ruthlessly, "Your abilities can't keep up with your ideas. As those in power all these years, you all think that sacrifice is normal, that there will always be sacrifices in war..."

"As those in power, shouldn't you have done everything possible to avoid sacrifice? If White Fang were alive, he could have saved many more people, but instead of calming the public opinion in the village, you were working against him behind the scenes."

"The ninja tiered education system is good, but you still oppose it because it doesn't align with your understanding..."

"Stubborn and rotten."

"What makes you think that just because my goals align with yours, I have to follow you? Can an idiot like you even see the road ahead?"

Jingyan sprayed it with gusto, without any restraint.

In an instant, Danzo's chakra erupted, the blade was drawn, and chakra condensed on the edge, making it extremely sharp.

What's this...?

A clone?

He instantly dashed past his clone and headed into the courtyard.

but.

When Danzo rushed into the courtyard, all that could be heard was a roar.

Immediately, Jingyan, holding the dragon head in his hand, arrived in an instant.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!

A swirling vortex, highly concentrated chakra.

That was a terrifying attack!

If you get hit...

Danzo dared not be careless. He formed hand seals, took a deep breath, and exhaled a high-pressure whirlwind that also contained a large amount of chakra.

Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade!

boom!

The two collided.

The water dragon and wind ball collapsed simultaneously, transforming into a water tornado that exploded.

however.

In the next instant, three figures burst out from the dissipating water curtain and attacked Danzo from three directions.

Danzo exhaled wind-style chakra, which adhered to the blade.

Wind Release: Vacuum Blade!

Just as they were about to strike, the three men suddenly brandished their blades in mid-air and formed hand seals with one hand.

Konoha Style: Willow!

The difference is—

Before his eyes, countless clones appeared, each one attacking his vital points, making it impossible for Danzo to distinguish between the real and the fake.

This is a clone technique, and it also has the effects of illusion!

Danzo immediately dispelled the illusion and simultaneously raised his sword to protect the area in front of him.

Boom!

Kyohiko's sword broke.

but.

boom!

The three shadow clones' superhuman strength instantly shattered the ground, and even Danzo was unable to stand firm for a moment.

He immediately used the simplest Wind Release ninjutsu.

Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

The swirling wind blew everything in front of them away, but—

Tiny jets of water came against the wind.

Water breaking waves?

How is that possible!

Danzo's pupils contracted, but in the next instant, he realized that the water column had been neutralized by the wind release and was not a true water-breaking wave.

However, lightning chakra spread from that direction.

In an instant, waterways intertwined and thunder roared.

Danzou surrounded him, and a gust of wind rose up again. He then slapped his hand down, and the force of the wind release pushed him away in mid-air, landing him to the side.

"It's already quite remarkable that you have such strength at your age."

Danzo stood on a nearby tree. "Perhaps you're right, my abilities aren't enough to fulfill your expectations, but even if you don't acknowledge my strength, you can still consider... being a daimyo is an option, isn't it?"

He then prepared to dissolve himself.

"etc!"

"Um?"

Danzo stopped moving.

Jingyan pointed around.

"You've damaged my yard like this, shouldn't you compensate me?"

"ha."

Danzo couldn't help but laugh.

He looked around and said, "Didn't you already collect the fee?"

Then, his figure vanished into nothingness.

Jingyan was speechless.

Danzo's shadow clone couldn't possibly have come in with them; it's very likely that he secretly infiltrated and hid here long ago.
