Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"Lady Tsunade...I..."

For a moment, Jingyin didn't know what to say.

Tsunade's voice suddenly turned somewhat cold.

But it's not specifically for silent operation.

"Mute".

"You think... there's something wrong with this?"

The sound went silent.

She is Kato Dan's niece, and Kato Dan is her uncle.

It was because of Kato Dan that Tsunade took him away in the first place.

The Kato clan is a very small ninja clan.

To be honest, Jingyin was really grateful to her uncle, whom she had only met a few times.

After all, without his presence, Tsunade would not have been able to take her as her disciple.

It's important to know that Tsunade at that time was the most famous female ninja in the ninja world.

Countless female ninjas, even now, regard him as an idol.

However, he ended up taking on a disciple who wasn't particularly talented.

They have stayed by my side for many years.

Seeing Shizune's nervous and bewildered expression, Naruto shook his head and said:

"Let's talk about the rope tree first."

"Master, prepare yourself mentally. Your first half of life..."

Before Naruto could finish speaking, Tsunade stared at him expressionlessly.

Without warning, the little pearl fell down.

Uh......

Then let the storm rage on. There are some things, even if they are just guesses, that I still need to tell her.

Among all the candidates for the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade is still the most suitable one.

Moreover, once Tsunade becomes the Fifth Hokage, and with her adoptive parents by her side, whatever she does next will have a tremendous impact!

"Given the circumstances at the time, the only person who would be most suitable to be a direct descendant of the Senju clan sent to the battlefield, especially on the front lines, and who would have both the ability and the means to do so, was probably the old man."

Tsunade already knew the answer to this question.

With the direct descendants all dead, the second "Uchiha" completely integrated into Konoha.

Konoha is left with only the obedient Uchiha (Hyuga) and one disobedient Uchiha.

"However, at that time, he probably still had a bit of the appearance of Renxiong. Nawaki's death was not that much related to him."

"Or perhaps he knew, but acquiesced."

"Give him a share of the experimental results..."

tick-

I heard the name of Rope Tree again, and its tragic fate.

Tsunade could no longer control her little pearls.

This made Naruto a little embarrassed.

Tears soaked his clothes...

She raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears of the cheap laborer.

"The death of Nawaki is a bit outrageous... The most likely culprit is the old man Shimura Danzo."

"This is not just empty talk."

"Back then, the old guys were researching the cells of the first generation of the target."

"Moreover, he spent the rest of his life plotting to become Hokage."

"So, one of my purposes is to make you, this 'rival' with such a special status, lose interest in competing for the Hokage's attention."

"There are many reasons, but as for the evidence... was Rope Tree killed by explosive tags?"

"His death was incredibly gruesome; when he was found, all his internal organs had been removed. Isn't that strange?"

"Don't forget, Nawaki's teacher back then was Orochimaru."

"To be able to do this right under Orochimaru's nose... heh."

Tsunade's pupils suddenly contracted.

When she saw the way Rope Tree died, her mind went blank.

Or rather, one might lose their mind upon hearing news of a death.

Moreover, Orochimaru became very unfamiliar afterward.

This news gave Jingyin goosebumps all over her body.

It's truly chilling.

"Danzo!"

Tsunade clenched her fists, her chakra erupted, and even her hair stood on end.

Naruto gently patted her shoulder.

With a gentle infusion of chakra, Tsunade's turbulent chakra gradually calmed down.

She looked at Naruto with a mixture of grievance and anger.

She had her doubts about what happened back then, but every time she thought about it, her heart ached, and anger and despair filled her heart, so she couldn't think of anything else.

"I will definitely kill you!"

Tsunade's eyes glistened with tears, and her killing intent was almost tangible.

Well, there's another poor soul who wants to kill Danzo.

The Third Hokage can remain to suffer endless torment, but Danzo must die.

Death is not enough; one must also be reborn through impure rebirth...

Both the physical body and the spirit must bear the punishment they deserve.

Actually, the method used by the ninja bear is quite good.

The darkness of this ninja world certainly needs an outlet.

However, it's time to change the person who acts as the outlet for this venting.

Hmm... Izanagi, that's enough. Kill him several times over, and leave his last dog's life until the Konoha Collapse begins, then finish him off in front of everyone who comes to watch.

No... it still has some value.

Anyway, he's the scapegoat, so he can also draw attention to Konoha from the ninja world. Even on the day of his death, he can still make a contribution.

As for the Sarutobi and other ninja clans that grew stronger by profiting from human suffering.

That makes things much easier, haha.

P.S.: How about this setting for now?

After comforting Tsunade, Naruto continued:

"Perhaps you still have hope. In that case, the matter of White Teeth is none of your business, Master. Think about it carefully again. Is it even possible for them to do it?"

"Openly opposing the Will of Fire's ideology, so what if they hold a high position? They've threatened their interests..."

Before Naruto could finish speaking, Tsunade had already figured it out.

Silently listening from the side, she also felt a chill run down her spine.

With a shudder, my hand trembled, and Tuntun fell to the ground again.

"The Uchiha clan massacre can be said to be a problem left behind by the Second Hokage."

Naruto's tone shifted, and Tsunade's thoughts were stirred again.

Along with silence and porcupine.

Ton-Ton dared not approach Shizune any further and trotted over to Naruto, who was the most emotionally stable.

"I think I know that."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes; clearly, she wasn't the naive and innocent Kushina.

"The second generation will at least maintain a certain level of control, but they won't; they might even secretly create conflict."

"Fortunately, a filial son appeared."

Tsunade had never heard of a filial son, but from the meaning, she understood that Naruto was referring to Itachi Uchiha.

"Furthermore, Master, the old man actually knew about many of the things Danzo had done, but he tacitly approved of them."

"I think you have no idea what kind of life I had as a child, Master?"

Tsunade looked up at Naruto, whose expression remained calm.

She suddenly pulled him into her arms.

"I'm sorry... If I had come back and taken you away... no, I couldn't take you away... I don't want to come back to this filthy Konoha... I..."

Tsunade was somewhat incoherent.

Naruto, on the other hand, felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation.

He struggled to stick his head out.

With a slightly larger movement, Tuntun flew out and landed at Shizune's feet.

"Master, you don't need to blame yourself. Dad and Mom both know about what happened to you, and they don't blame you. I know even more, so why would I blame you?"

The pendant left behind by Hashirama Senju bounced up and down as Naruto spoke.

"Naruto-sama, what are you planning to do?"

Shizune had heard about what was happening in Konoha Village.

She couldn't help but speak up.

"Treat others as they treat you."

"Using me as a venting outlet?"

"Then I'll make him one of the outlets for the future ninja world's frustrations..."

With a glare, the silent piglet fainted.

Tsunade and Shizune weren't fools; they could vaguely guess what Naruto was going to do.

"When?!"

"One month later, the third round of the Chunin Exams will begin."

"After Orochimaru launched the Konoha Crush Plan."

Orochimaru?

Tsunade and Shizune gasped in surprise.

Naruto replied with a faint smile:

I'll explain these things to you in detail later.

"Let's continue with what you care about most, Master."

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, looking at Naruto in her arms, feeling deeply moved.

"Naruto, you'd better not call me master anymore."

"I...I don't think I'm worthy..."

"Why aren't you worthy?"

"You are the princess of Konoha... and the princess of Senju!"

"Your identity, then add Hokage... then remove the so-called Daimyo, and give you a Daimyo, ta-da."

"How was it? Back then, you were the woman with the highest status in the ninja world. As your disciple, it was easy for me to do things, to reform...

Tsunade was completely bewildered by the long list of titles Naruto had given her.

Seeing his confident demeanor again, I felt a little more at ease.

She knew that the rope tree had a great chance of being resurrected.

Smack—

"What an adorable apprentice!"

Naruto rolled his eyes.

You still call me a little pervert? You old pervert...?!

"The matter of the Rope Tree is actually quite similar to the matter of the Senju clan."

"Then, what I'm going to talk about next is your personal feelings, Master."

Jingyin got nervous when this was mentioned.

"Don't worry, what you said earlier brought back many details that I hadn't noticed before."

"So many years have passed, I don't care anymore."

I might have cared before today, but not now.

Tsunade turned her head, and Shizune immediately sat up straight, her little face full of innocence and nervousness.

"Jingyin, all these years, I have never doubted you. I never have, I never have, and I never will."

Upon hearing this, Jingyin's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

"The third generation... old... monkey..."

For a moment, Jingyin didn't know what to call her.

Finally, after receiving an encouraging look from Tsunade, Shizune took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"The old monkey probably wouldn't do that."

"The old monkey was Lady Tsunade's former master."

"Then it must understand that you, Lady Tsunade, are not interested in the position of Hokage."

"Even if you are wary, you have handed over all your contributions to Konoha's medical care to the village."

"So, as Naruto said, Uncle Duan's matter has nothing to do with the old monkey."

"But... Lady Tsunade, we can't rule out one possibility... a double agent!"

hum-

Tsunade was enraged once again.

Naruto was about to praise Shizune for her sharp thinking, but then...

"Hmm!"

"call......"

Naruto quickly broke free from his restraints.

Tsunade pulled him back again, frowning as she recalled:

"Back then, I kept advising the village to train a systematic medical ninja warrior, making medical ninjas an essential member of the squad."

"But at the time, there was war and insufficient funds, so the old man refused the request."

"After Nawaki died, I became even more determined to build the medical system."

"Once again, the old man rejected it because of insufficient funding."

"Hehe, I hadn't lost that much back then, I still had a lot of wealth, but the old man said there wasn't enough manpower."

"In short, it always has an excuse."

"Now it seems they're afraid my reputation will grow even higher."

Naruto nodded slightly. "Smart."

"That's when Uncle Duan appeared!"

I was sweating profusely even while on silent mode.

She was somewhat afraid to look at Tsunade.

"Lady Tsunade, when Uncle Dan appeared... it must have been the saddest and most helpless moment for you, right?"

Tsunade suddenly gave a bitter smile, tinged with displeasure.

"That's right, he showed up right after the rejection."

"You still agree with me, haha."

"But what is his purpose in doing this?"

Even the silent one frowned.

"Shizune-neechan, the Kato clan seems to have been wiped out a long time ago, right?"

"You don't even have a surname."

Rumble—!!!

These words struck the two of them like a bolt from the blue.

"I see... No wonder there has been no news from the clan all these years."

"To be so ruthless and absolute... without letting a word out."

"Relying solely on old stock collections won't suffice; we need to do it covertly, but we also need to maintain a facade of secrecy."

"Lady Tsunade... I'm sorry, you..."

"Idiot! Who am I? At that time, my mind was filled with the tragic state of Nawaki. I didn't have the energy or time to do those meaningless things!"

Shizune gave an awkward smile, then frowned and said:

"Then, that makes sense."

"The Kato clan couldn't have been wiped out for no reason... so the starting point must be related to Kato."

"Uncle Duan's motives were very likely for the sake of the Kato clan."

"The possibility of him being a double agent has increased."

"In this way, when I got close to Lady Tsunade, I was attacked by the enemy and my internal organs were unfortunately damaged when I used the Spirit Transformation Technique."

"Even Lady Tsunade cannot save him."

"Finally, he even developed hemophobia, forcing Konoha to leave..."

After finishing speaking, Jingyin slapped her thigh—*smack*

The unconscious Tun Tun wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Spiritualization technique, soul leaving the body, Uncle Duan has been a Jonin for so many years, and it's during wartime... he couldn't possibly be that careless!"

"Therefore, only...our own people know his location!"

"This 'one of us'—pay attention!"

Naruto watched Shizune continue her deductions, and Tsunade tighten her grip on him.

A figure appeared in my mind.

Temari, daughter of the Kazekage and princess of Sunagakure!

She is also a strategist type.

"What caused it?"

Naruto offered a reminder.

Shizune's eyes lit up, "Naruto!!!"

She practically screamed it out.

Tsunade also let out a gasp.

Thinking hard!

"When we meet, I'll use my longing and guilt towards Nawaki to tell you that my dream is to become Hokage!"

"It might have been fake at first, but later... once I got to the medical team, they realized the true value of my identity and abilities... Damn it!"

"That guy actually started thinking he could climb the ladder through my connections!"

Yongdaimei: Am I late?

boom--

The wooden table was smashed.

Naruto, trapped in the swamp, was powerless to help.

He could only silently summon the power of the forest to repair the table.

It's all clear now!

Tsunade's excitement made her breathing rapid.

After the initial excitement came anger.

After the initial excitement subsided, Jingyin lowered her head, tears welling in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade."

"Idiot! How could I blame you?"

"come over!"

Silently and obediently moved over.

He was then embraced by Tsunade.

"Silly girl, you were just a callow little girl back then, how could you possibly know so much?"

"Um!"

Naruto: "..."

Is nobody taking care of me?

After the two of them recovered a little, they noticed Naruto sandwiched in the middle.

Jingyin quickly stepped back, her face red from crying or something else, it was hard to tell.

Tsunade, however, said with righteous indignation:

"You perverted brat!"

Naruto: "..."

Ah yes, yes, you're right.

"So..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tsunade lowered her head and planted a kiss on Naruto's forehead.

"I'm going to be the Fifth Hokage!"

Naruto: "..."

I've never been so speechless.

Tsunade looked up at the face so close to hers.

Her cheeks were still flushed.

He chuckled softly, "My good disciple, thank you~"

Smack—

The second time was your fault!

Naruto quickly broke free of his restraints, and this time Tsunade's clutches failed to reach him.

He took a deep breath.

Looking at the two of them... their faces are as red as a teapot!

"In that case, there's one more thing we need to confirm."

"If that doesn't work, I have other ideas."

Naruto's lips curled into a smile, but Tsunade and Shizune didn't notice.

That mischievous smile was deeply hidden.

"What needs to be confirmed?"

Naruto didn't reply, but instead looked at the unconscious Tonton at Shizune's feet.

Uh... never mind, otherwise it really will become a food reserve.

"Sister Shizune, could you please come here for a moment?"

"Me...me?"

Shizune seemed lost in thought, only snapping out of it after Naruto gently called her name.

She moved her butt over again.

Naruto grabbed her small hand.

Mute: "..."

No!

Naruto-sama...we're not a good match...Kushina-sama wouldn't approve...A senior sister holding a junior brother's hand...it doesn't seem so bad...Yes, it's purely platonic!

Naruto didn't care about any of that, despite Tsunade's disdainful and suspicious gaze.

Place the silent little hand in front of her.

The Mori-Mori Fruit has been transformed into an element.

wow-

The fingers transformed into wooden blades, slicing open the silent finger, causing blood to flow.

Mute: "..."

Tsunade: "..."

"Lady Tsunade!"

"Ah~!"

Three seconds later.

Tsunade and Shizune: "Huh???"

Naruto, however, was not surprised at all, and chuckled:

"When the knot in your heart is untied, the inner demons will naturally dissipate."

"Master, your hemophobia... ugh!!"
