Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

[Look at the relaxed smile on Naruto's face.]

Tsunade's heart suddenly clenched.

My presbyopia has flared up again.

[I saw the shadow of the rope tree.]

[But this is the appearance that the rope tree takes about ten years to grow.]

Perhaps...more than that?

Tsunade sighed inwardly.

On the surface, he did indeed feign magnanimity.

He patted his chest, a confident smile playing on his lips.

"Use it! Use it as much as you can!"

"I'm glad I could help you; it's just a matter of my status."

"As for considering my reputation?"

"That's not needed."

"It's just a few charges, anyway, I'm used to running away from gambling debts every day."

"No, no, Tsunade won't. After Tsunade returns this time, she won't need to leave Konoha again. Even if she were to leave, it wouldn't be you. As long as you're willing to stay in Konoha, who can force or drive you away?"

Naruto interrupted Tsunade.

[Jingyin paused, having heard the word "stability."]

Deep down, there is a desire for it.

Moreover, these words came from the mouth of the incredibly reassuring young man standing before me.

[Highly credible!]

She involuntarily looked at Tsunade.

But Tsunade's brows were furrowed.

Finally, he shook his head.

【"No."】

"I'm used to it too..."

"Then let's get used to a stable life, a hopeful life, a happy life, and a free life!" Naruto said in an unquestionable tone.

Tsunade was taken aback.

Then, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

[She tilted her snow-white neck back, looked at Naruto, and said with a half-smile:]

"Kid, stop acting on your own."

"Who can't touch their upper and lower lips together?"

"Alright, you don't need to pretend with your older sister here..."

"I'm serious," Naruto interrupted her again.

Tsunade's smile slowly faded.

"I once said I would never set foot in Konoha again."

"You're in Konoha now, largely because of me," Naruto said.

"So?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow.

"If you want to leave Konoha again, you'll need my approval first." Naruto met her gaze.

[A moment later, Tsunade looked away.]

She raised her little hand and unconsciously brushed a strand of hair from her temple.

"He's so young, yet he already loves to boast."

"As long as I want to walk, the road is right beneath my feet."

"Then take down your feet... no, then take down the road!"

[Jingyin's shoulders trembled slightly as she stood to the side.]

I wanted to laugh, but... I also felt a warm feeling in my heart, and I was happy for Tsunade.

[This young man's words were undoubtedly extremely domineering.]

And he was incredibly confident.

It seemed as if what he said was all true.

Tsunade opened her mouth slightly, but Naruto seemed to say, "Whatever you say, I'll decide in the end."

Tsunade laughed in exasperation.

"Okay~"

"So, tell me, what are your plans for the next step?"

"What are you going to do with my identity?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Fifth Hokage."

"No! I refuse!" Tsunade shook her head without hesitation.

[Jingyin slapped her thigh in surprise.]

Is becoming Hokage something you can just do on a whim?

"Only a fool would become Hokage!" Tsunade said, her tone unfriendly, as if she had just realized something.

"Don't you want this?"

"Then we might not even be able to keep the name 'Konoha' anymore."

This decision was made by Naruto after careful consideration.

[While doing a favor, he firmly secured Tsunade's affections.]

Otherwise, this woman will end up accumulating a mountain of debt again... I'm not going to spank her, and as for scolding her, I don't think she'd listen but would actually do it.

Of course, as I said before, people change.

Besides, Tsunade might even thank me for the Hokage position in the future.

Hmm... ten or eight should be no problem.

"Can't it be saved?"

"Konoha?"

Tsunade's breath hitched.

The way he looked at Naruto changed.

That lecherous brat has grand ambitions!

Meanwhile, Shizune was still reeling from the shock of the Fifth Hokage.

[Take a deep breath. 】

Don't let yourself lose your composure.

Why?

Naruto's lips curled slightly; he decided to skip that topic for now.

She'll only have the answer soon.

The groundwork is almost laid; in a moment, we'll begin the plan—to strike while the iron is hot.

[Fast, accurate, and ruthless!]

[Absolutely no dragging things out.]

【now.】

[The area surrounding Naruto's old apartment building.]

Several Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique clones were already on guard, preventing any interference from others.

[Of course, the experiments on the white humanoid creature below the apartment building are still ongoing.]

Seeing that Naruto didn't answer directly, Tsunade changed her approach.

"You... or Minato, you should be able to handle it, right?"

"He could even continue serving as the Fourth Hokage."

"Recalling the days when you were a puppet?" Naruto asked rhetorically.

Tsunade: "..."

She lowered her eyes slightly.

Then, looking up at Naruto again, deep down, she already considered him a 'peer'.

"So, you mean by using my identity... to make me the Fifth Hokage?"

"Not only that," Naruto shook his head and chuckled.

Tsunade frowned.

[I have a feeling... that little lecher's smile is a bit wicked, like he's up to no good.]

However, it didn't seem out of place on that handsome yet youthful face.

"Can I refuse?"

[Before Naruto could reply.]

Tsunade added, "You definitely won't agree."

"Besides that, what else is the point of my identity?"

"As for the Fifth Hokage... indeed, if I were to say it publicly, the old man might not be able to stop me."

"Hmph!" Tsunade snorted softly.

"I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade, Naruto...sir~!"

"I'm going out now."

[Silently, she was suddenly awakened.]

He then quickly grabbed Tonton from beside Naruto's feet and stood up.

"It's okay, Shizune-neechan, you don't need to go out."

"There's nothing I can't tell you."

Hearing this, Jingyin felt a warmth in her heart.

[Then, he subconsciously looked at Tsunade.]

Tsunade didn't answer, but her pale nose twitched slightly, emitting a nasal sound.

[It means the same thing Naruto said.]

[Jingyin then sat down somewhat nervously.]

She felt like the world had gone mad.

[She knew what the position of Hokage meant.]

She still held this in awe.

Therefore, Naruto and Tsunade casually discussed the Hokage, even directly deciding who would be the Fifth Hokage.

How could she possibly calm down?

【"Heh~"】

【"good!"】

"Since I can't refuse, I'll just find a more comfortable position!"

[Tsunade thought for a moment, then slammed her hand on the table and said.]

[Mute: "???"]

[Tsunade-sama... What are you saying?!]

What kind of outrageous language is this?!

What if... what if it turns out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Ugh~ Why is my brain so messed up today?!
