Chapter 339 The Fifth Hokage: Tsunade

Tsunade is the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village, and the only female Hokage.

Her personality is both forthright and compassionate; she never compromises with Konoha's enemies, and she shows no mercy to internal traitors.

During Tsunade's tenure, she not only suppressed Danzo and the entire Root organization, forcing Danzo to resort to underhanded tactics, but also made the two stubborn old men, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, understand who the true masters of Konoha were.

It was precisely this strong and righteous character that resolved the bad habits left behind by the Third Hokage, bringing a fresh start to the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

"It's over. Looks like Koharu and En can't control Tsunade. All that talk about a complete transformation is just something she had to do to accumulate gambling capital. Tobirama, do you think Konoha's final fate will be that she sells it out?"

On the screen, the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, grabbed the collars of advisors Koharu and En without any hesitation, exuding absolute domineering aura.

Upon witnessing this scene, Hashirama covered his face and wailed, feeling that Konoha in that timeline was likely doomed.

Tobirama glared at Hashirama, clearly annoyed, and asked, "Isn't it all because of you? Why did you teach Tsunade to gamble?"

"I just can't find any card-playing partners."

"With your terrible gambling skills, you lose every time. And because of your status, no one dares to win your money. It's so unpleasant to play cards with you. It's a miracle that you can still have card-playing friends."

"So, what's wrong with me training Tsunade for my card-playing game?"

Seeing Hashirama suddenly become inexplicably self-righteous, Tobirama was so angry that he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Tsunade, on the other hand, gazed longingly at her reflection on the screen while clenching her fists and secretly vowing: To avoid becoming a spendthrift Hokage, I will quit gambling from this day forward!

Meanwhile, in the Fifth Hokage's timeline, Tsunade looked at her imposing image and the words of praise on the light screen and muttered happily, "Hehe, I didn't realize this light screen knew me so well."

That's right, as the Hokage, she is the true master of Konoha Village.

Fifth Hokage Tsunade: I'm willing to talk to you; you're the advisors. If I don't talk to you, you're nothing.

[Tsunade becoming Hokage not only influenced the next generation of Konoha, but it was also a significant turning point in her life.]

[As a child, Tsunade, after graduating from the Ninja Academy, became a disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi along with Orochimaru and Jiraiya.]

[A cold, aloof genius and a lecherous theorist—under their influence, Tsunade also developed a strong personality.]

The three of them became the first participants in the bell-grabbing exam.

Before the exam, Tsunade and Jiraiya made a bet: the person who didn't manage to grab the bell would definitely be you.

In the end, Jiraiya was indeed tied to the wooden stake.

From this point on, it seemed that Jiraiya had taken control of Tsunade's luck in gambling.

Although Tsunade always lost at gambling afterwards, she would always win if the bet was related to Jiraiya.

"Yeah, I always win when it comes to that idiot."

On the screen, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, Jiraiya waved goodbye to Tsunade.

Watching Jiraiya's departing figure, she thought that she would confess her feelings to him after the lecherous guy returned safely.

As a result, Jiraiya never returned and died in Amegakure.

"That idiot, why didn't he run away then?"

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, sighed.

From the communication frog afterward, she learned that Jiraiya actually had a chance to escape, but considering that Konoha might face off against them in the future, he chose to stay and probe for information.

The intelligence was gathered, but he was left there forever.

"Am I really not suited to love someone else?"

At this moment, the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, began to doubt herself once again.

Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's tutelage, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru became exceptionally skilled ninjas.

During the Second Shinobi World War, they fought valiantly against Hanzo of the Salamander, who was considered the pinnacle of the shinobi world.

[Many of Konoha's ninjas fell victim to the deadly poison of the salamander, leaving only Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya.]

The three men's unwavering resolve moved Hanzo, and out of respect for their talent, he spared their lives and bestowed upon them the title of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

"Respect for talent? Maybe to some extent, but I feel that the main reason Hanzo let us go is because we are Konoha ninjas."

In the Third Hokage's timeline, Jiraiya felt that if the three of them had been from other ninja villages, Hanzo might not have let them go.

Who told them to be ninjas from the largest ninja village in the ninja world, and whose teacher was the Third Hokage!

At that time, the defeat of the Rain Village was already evident. If Hanzo really killed the three of them, he would enrage the young and ambitious ninja, and countless people in the Rain Village would die afterward.

For the sake of the village, Hanzo had no choice but to pretend to cherish their talents and release them in a perfunctory manner.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

This is the correct decision a normal leader would make after weighing the pros and cons.

"At that time, the three of us were newcomers, and Hanzo had the reputation of being a demigod. The fact that we were able to persevere to the end did not tarnish Konoha's reputation."

"However, from today's perspective, Hanzo's title of demigod is a bit of a stretch."

Orochimaru, who has been resurrected, agrees with what Jiraiya and Tsunade said, but he also thinks that Hanzo's title of demigod is somewhat undeserved.

Think about it, who was the last ninja to be deified?

That's Hashirama Senju.

The invincible ninja god who has defeated all others in the ninja world.

Although Hanzo was only a demigod, his strength was not even half that of the First Hokage.

Hanzo's strength is mainly reflected in the poison on his summoned beast.

Even he himself is not immune to this toxin, let alone others.

Without this summoning beast, Hanzo would just be an ordinary Kage-level ninja, and one of the weakest Kage-level ninjas at that.

"Forget it, let's not talk about Hanzo anymore. His era is long gone."

After saying this, Jiraiya turned to look at Tsunade and asked seriously again, "Tsunade, are you really not going to consider the Hokage position? Judging from the screen, you seem to be doing quite well."

"I don't want to be Hokage. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to pass the Hokage position to me so you'll have time to peep into the women's bathhouse, right?"

"Uh," Jiraiya replied weakly, "I called it gathering material, not spying."

"Pah~ Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Fine, if you don't want to do it, then forget it."

Jiraiya sighed and rubbed his forehead, then said, "I really want to know who the Sixth Hokage is, so I can rightfully hand over the position to him."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi, who was in the back row, felt a chill run down his spine.
