Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 102 Hashirama Senju's Shadow? The Use of White Zetsu (10,000 words, please subscribe)

Not having a captain is definitely not a good thing for Xiuze.

Having a captain makes him feel more at ease, even though the person who becomes his captain always seems to have some misunderstandings about him.

Overall, he got along quite well with his captains.

Whether it's Shisui, Kakashi, or Jiraiya.

"Honestly, the captain is already very good. Although it would be better if he were my boss, I'm worried that you guys wouldn't be able to handle it."

Thinking back to his good boss Danzo, he could only sigh, then a happy expression appeared on his face.

His former boss doesn't seem to be doing too well these days.

According to the information that Shuzawa obtained from Jiraiya, and after their return, only three of the four Konoha leaders came, including his former superior.

"I'm afraid our Hokage is already dissatisfied with my former boss!"

Even at Konoha's headquarters, Danzo's situation was being made worse, which was originally Hidezawa's idea, but things seemed to be developing faster than he had imagined.

But this isn't necessarily a bad thing, since according to Hidezawa's budget, eliminating Danzo should only take a few years.

After all, the hatred has already been sufficiently aroused, and continuing further would probably not be very meaningful.

Especially after the Uchiha incident, Danzo was suspended for a period of time in Hidezawa's memory, and this period was the key for Hidezawa to make his mark!

"We need to work harder, otherwise it won't be good if we can't get rid of this old guy."

Thinking to himself, Xiuze walked into the room, only to see Tsunade applying nail polish to her nails.

It has to be said that Tsunade is truly "generous and wealthy". Hidezawa couldn't help but wonder what she ate to grow to this level.

"Oh, Xiuze?"

Tsunade seemed to sense something. She looked up and saw Hidezawa. She immediately raised an eyebrow.

"You little rascal, slacking off again? Instead of training, why are you wandering around like that?"

"Because the training is finished."

Xiuze casually shrugged. In reality, his training was just talk; much of the work wasn't as difficult as people imagined.

After all, his control panel was right there, and he didn't need to deliberately learn many things. He could learn them immediately after glancing at them and seeing that they were categorized.

"Tch, so what if you have talent?"

Tsunade shook her head upon hearing Hidezawa's words. She tidied up the nail polish on the table and then stood up.

She stretched slightly, casually showing off her impressive figure, and then turned to look at Xiuze.

"Come to think of it, I almost forgot. When did you learn Sage Mode? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Sage Mode, huh?"

Xiuze blinked, and he immediately understood what Tsunade meant.

It's highly likely that Tsunade was informed about his use of Yang Release: Chakra Mode, and after Jiraiya raved about it, he was mistaken for someone else.

But let the misunderstanding be; Xiuze certainly won't talk about the differences, since he himself doesn't have a deep understanding of them.

"I saw it in the scroll you gave me, teacher. I thought it was very interesting, so I gave it a try, and I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"Shall we give it a try?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, walked directly to Hidezawa, frowned at the boy in front of her, and hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Are you really not afraid of death? Don't you know how risky this technique is?"

Even my grandfather wouldn't dare to do such a thing! Are you sure you're alright? And how did you do that?

"Teacher, are you referring to the erosion caused by natural forces?"

Hidezawa blinked; he naturally understood what Tsunade meant.

The cultivation of sage techniques is never simple. For example, the sage techniques of Mount Myōboku require the assistance of toad oil, and also need a toad to supervise and prevent the cultivator from falling into a petrified state.

This state is not something that can be achieved easily. Just look at Jiraiya; even many years later, he still couldn't directly enter Sage Mode.

He also needs to manually paint the "fairy face" while relying on two toads to help him do so.

Xiuze's ability to instantly get into the zone is beyond absurd, and can only be described as incredible and unbelievable.

Fortunately, Xiuze already had a solution in mind. He smiled slightly and said.

"Actually, this is indeed very difficult, whether it is to perceive those natural forces or to overcome the aftereffects of those natural forces."

"Especially the scroll you gave me, teacher, didn't explain exactly how to do it; it only outlined some basics of Sage Mode."

Nonsense, because my grandfather went to Shikkulin to study, and what he wrote was just his feelings afterward.

Tsunade gave a soft snort; she genuinely felt that Hidezawa was acting too recklessly, and this couldn't go on!

After thinking for a moment, she decided to offer a reminder, but Xiuze spoke up instead.

"However, strangely enough, absorbing those natural forces doesn't seem to be difficult for me."

"Not difficult?"

Tsunade's lips twitched slightly; this was the first time she had ever heard someone say that absorbing the power of nature was not difficult!

Xiuze seemed to understand her meaning, casually shrugged, and then raised his hand.

In an instant, a very special power seemed to begin to gather in his hands!

"This is."

Even though Tsunade wasn't very familiar with it, she knew exactly what it was; that idiot Jiraiya had bragged about it to her.

Besides, she had experienced her great-grandfather's Sage Mode back then.

"Yes, the power of nature."

Xiuze said calmly, then tilted his head and sighed.

"I told you, this is really not difficult for me."

"."

Tsunade was somewhat reluctant to speak. If it's not difficult, it's not difficult. Who asked you to prove it?

"So how exactly did you tame it? Didn't you say it was difficult to control?"

"It's definitely not easy to handle, but it's also quite amazing."

Xiuze simply put in a little more effort. If he could explain his "Yang Release: Chakra Mode" away, it would save him some trouble.

Although it would be somewhat unfair to deconstruct this technique into some kind of "Sage Mode," it's all just empty titles to Xiuze.

Using these powers properly and reasonably, and even causing misunderstandings among others, can benefit Xiuze in battle. These are more important than anything else!

Thinking of this, Xiuze continued.

"I can feel this force is eroding me very strongly, it seems to be turning me to stone."

But miraculously, there seems to be a very special power within me that can neutralize these natural forces, preventing me from being petrified.

However, mobilizing these forces is not simple, and the results were somewhat unexpected; that's about it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiuze immediately activated his curse seal, and at the same time, his Yang Release power and the Dragon Vein Chakra sealed in his body instantly combined.

hum-

A violent aura of chakra emanated from Xiuze's body, and at that moment, Xiuze was once again draped in a golden chakra cloak!

The mysterious chakra swirled within him, and the powerful aura was almost unbearable even for Tsunade at this moment.

Looking at Xiuze's golden figure, Tsunade was somewhat dazed at this moment, especially when she felt the aura on Xiuze's body, she seemed to recall her grandfather.

This vibrant, life-filled state is almost exactly like her grandfather's!

But just then, Tsunade suddenly raised her head and looked outside.

A man with a full head of white hair was peeking and peering inside.

"My lords, you were looking for me?"

While Tsunade was still in shock, in Sunagakure, Pakura calmly walked into a house that was sealed off by a sealing technique.

This house is very special; the interior environment is completely different from the outside, and the interior decoration is also very beautiful.

If so, you can feel the unique desert atmosphere of the Land of Winds outside, a unique kind of summer heat.

So here, one can almost feel the spring air that doesn't belong to the Land of Wind.

In the center of the house, Chiyo and Ebizo sat side by side, with a large pond in front of them.

It is an indisputable fact that Sand Village is extremely short of water.

A pond was built here, and the internal environment was specially altered; one can imagine how many resources this must have consumed.

In particular, this pond is used for fishing.

"You've come, Yekura."

Chiyo looked up at her, then calmly nodded.

"Have a seat. Would you like to try it too? Although this isn't a natural pool, it's still quite remarkable to have achieved this much in the Land of Wind."

"If it were me, I would prefer to put that money and resources into other places in the village that need it more."

Ye Cang shook her head, and she didn't mince words.

Three years have passed since he learned that the village had abandoned him and even sent him to his death in Kirigakure, but these things are never easy to let go of.

The fact that she was betrayed by the village she had risked her life to protect made it even harder for her to accept!

To be honest, she did consider leaving back then.

The ninja world isn't that big, but it's not that small either. At worst, I can become a rogue ninja and never come to the Land of Wind again.

She just wouldn't believe she couldn't survive!

However, she was eventually persuaded by Ebizo and made many promises before she decided to stay.

However, her personality and temperament make it difficult for her to let go of certain things, and even when facing these two, she won't be very polite!

"What you say may be true, but have you considered this issue?"

Ebizo knew her personality and smiled nonchalantly.

"The resources we invest are just a grain of sand in the desert if placed in the village, but when used here, they allow us to relax and relieve fatigue."

That way, we can have more energy to face the work ahead and better serve the village, right?

"Hmph, that's just sophistry."

Ye Cang didn't buy it at all; she shook her head and said coldly.

"You've already reached the pinnacle of the village, why do you still need to satisfy yourselves with these vain rewards?"

To put it bluntly, it's all just your own indulgence in pleasure. I think the truth is that you should continue to dedicate yourselves to the village.

"You're still too young, Yekura."

Chiyo gently tugged at the fishing rod, then sighed softly and looked at her.

"Without these rewards, how would the villagers know that we once devoted ourselves to the village?"

"Forget it, you're still young, and you need to tone down your temper."

Ebizo shook his head as well, then took out a scroll and handed it over.

"You're destined for a better place in the future, and there's still a lot you need to learn."

Don't always act impulsively out of passion. While that's true, if you're in a high position of power, getting carried away by passion can ruin more than just your own life.

Yekura didn't reply; she simply calmly accepted the scroll that Ebizo handed her.

In fact, they had all told her about their future plans, even if they were very subtle, she could still understand them.

But is such compensation really useful to oneself?

He witnessed how that guy from Konoha, who was even younger than himself, analyzed everything extremely thoroughly in a short time, and how the person behind that guy manipulated Sunagakure at will.

Do they really have any hope?

With a helpless sigh, Ye Cang simply opened the scroll in her hand and began to read it seriously, but after a moment her expression suddenly changed.

"What do you mean, you want me to go to Kirigakure?"

Kirigakure is definitely not a good place for Yekura; it could even be considered a forbidden place for her!

Even though she had never been there.

"Don't worry, this time no one can touch you, and we won't allow anyone to touch you!"

Seeing Yekura's expression, Chiyo immediately spoke up to avoid any misunderstanding.

"Several Jonin, including Maki, will accompany you this time, along with an ANBU tactical squad to protect your safety."

"Konoha and Iwagakure have resumed negotiations, although we do not know the specifics of the negotiations or the areas involved."

Ebizo, who was standing to the side, also spoke up, gazing at the pond as he spoke slowly.

"But this is a good thing for us. Iwagakure's actions have stopped, or rather, they probably don't have the energy to deal with us."

"While we can't go any further and go back to the way things were, protecting the areas we currently control shouldn't be a problem."

Chiyo shook her fishing rod and spoke softly.

"The problem we're facing now is that group of lunatics from Kirigakure. Although they've stopped, nobody knows what they're really thinking."

Therefore, some things need to be clarified, even if it means making some sacrifices to stabilize our internal situation.

"Fortunately, that damned Danzo sent a lot of supplies, which allows us to get through this difficult time."

Ebizo took over the conversation and spoke quietly.

"And we can also use these things to do something, such as to have a good talk with Kirigakure."

At this point, both of them stopped talking, and Ye Cang also fell silent.

She understood what the two men meant: they were simply using other people's money to resolve their own crisis.

But aren't the things Danzo sent already theirs?

Isn't this just using one's own money to quell some undeserved disasters?

"Is this the only way we can talk? Are there no other options?"

Ye Cang gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, somewhat humiliated.

"Are we destined to passively accept all of this?"

"Nobody wanted this to happen, but nobody can change it."

Chiyo sighed helplessly, slowly stood up, and walked over with her aged body.

"Perhaps you can do something in the future, but the future requires effort. You are not qualified now, far from qualified."

You still need to learn more and understand more, but no matter what, we believe that you are the best choice for the future, do you understand?

This is also a test. Can you do well?

"So, you relied on the power of Yang Release, combining it with Sage Mode to reach your current level?"

Inside the Senju clan's ancestral home, Jiraiya stared wide-eyed at Hidezawa, his face filled with disbelief.

However, with his face covered in asphalt and the swollen bump on his head, he looked particularly comical.

Tsunade, standing to the side, was also slightly stunned. It turned out that the power Hidezawa was talking about within him was Yang Release.

"Probably."

Shuzawa nodded, suppressing a smile as he looked at Jiraiya, then gently clenched his fist before speaking softly.

"This power seems to be related to many of my own abilities, such as medical ninjutsu."

When this power combined with the forces of nature, it not only alleviated the erosion of nature on me, but also transformed me into what I am today.

"You're incredibly lucky, kid."

Jiraiya's lips twitched slightly, but in the end he could only sigh deeply.

Sage Mode, what an alluring power, yet how difficult it is to attain.

He himself knows Sage Mode, but he can't forget how difficult the training he went through back then, yet in the end he still isn't very proficient.

He had always been curious about how Xiuze had mastered this power, and why his mastery of it was so different from what he had learned.

Now he understands, but understanding makes it even harder to stay calm.

It turns out that Xiuze was able to control this power in his own way, and even improved it?

"The power of Yang Release is not easy to control."

Tsunade sighed, feeling even more helpless after hearing what Hidezawa said.

Everyone possesses the Yang Release technique, but controlling and mastering this power is incredibly difficult.

There aren't many people in the entire ninja world who can utilize these powers; there are only a few special secret techniques, such as those used by the Akimichi clan.

And her medical ninjutsu, which she is skilled in, actually utilizes the power of Yang Release, but she has not yet mastered it!

Shuzawa not only knows how to make good use of these powers, but has even mastered them. Doesn't that surprise Tsunade?

"Was my grandfather like that back then?"

The thought of this made Tsunade feel a little uneasy.

Xiuze's abilities are entirely her grandfather's, and she is increasingly resembling her great-grandfather.

Aside from inheriting a 'passive skill,' she didn't inherit anything else?

Tsunade, in a bad mood, turned to look at Jiraiya, her fist hardening again.

"Hey, you still haven't explained why you came here!"

"Don't do it!"

When Jiraiya saw Tsunade suddenly turn hostile and clench her fists, he immediately knew that if he didn't make things clear, he would be in real trouble!

After sensing the aura of immortal magic, he couldn't resist and jumped in from the side without using the gate.

As a result, he was beaten up by Tsunade. If he doesn't explain himself now, he might really end up in the hospital!

"I'm here to deliver something, especially to this kid!"

"Looking for Xiuze?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.

"What is it now? Explain yourself!"

"Here's the thing, please wait a moment."

Seeing that Tsunade didn't seem to have any intention of making a move, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he quickly formed hand seals, and a small barrier immediately surrounded them.

"A soundproof barrier? Is that really necessary?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Tsunade gave a soft snort, but did not stop him. In her eyes, Jiraiya was basically associated with being unreliable.

But this guy is unlikely to cause any problems when it comes to important matters, and Tsunade wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Alright, even though this is your territory, it's best to be careful to avoid being overheard."

Jiraiya offered a brief explanation to himself before speaking seriously.

"Xiuze, we have results regarding the two people we brought back from the last mission."

"Oh?"

Shuzawa blinked, and he immediately understood what Jiraiya meant.

"Kabuto and the Dean, how are they doing now?"

"them."

Jiraiya pursed his lips. He had already read the general records and understood just how tragic the fate of these two people was.

Seeing Tsunade's curiosity, Jiraiya thought for a moment, took out a scroll, and handed it to her, saying as he did so.

"They're doing well now, so there's no need to worry too much. Besides, as I said, the investigations into their two cases are almost complete, almost now."

"Son of a bitch!"

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Tsunade let out a low shout, clearly angered by what was recorded in the scroll!

The scroll that Jiraiya gave her was actually about the experience that Kabuto and Nonou Yakushi had just gone through.

It can be said that what is recorded here is truly Danzo's darkest moment, and it is really hard not to speculate about what his purpose was.

"That's outrageous, that damn guy!"

"It was indeed quite bad, but don't be angry anymore. At least this time there was a good outcome."

Jiraiya shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful, but his gaze couldn't help but drift towards Hidezawa.

Jiraiya was genuinely curious about what Hidezawa had understood, or how much he had understood.

Upon questioning Kabuto and Nono, they both stated that their battle with Orochimaru brought all operations to a halt, and that Hidezawa had only discovered them by chance.

They didn't explain much, and it wasn't even Yakushi Kabuto who noticed the clues.

All of this seems to suggest that Hidezawa was unaware of the situation, but there is no doubt that Jiraiya considered Hidezawa to be an extremely intelligent person!

His past mission experience and Xiuze's performance all prove this.

Moreover, this kid is deeply influenced by Danzo and will stop at nothing to get things done.

He was really worried about what kind of earth-shattering things Xiuze would do if he discovered something.

You have to understand, Danzo was the Hokage's assistant in the village.

Although he truly hated Danzo in his heart, he couldn't let go of the matter of Konan!

Even if he needs to conduct more investigations, what Hidezawa said is exactly what a guy like Danzo would do.

However, if something really happens, it won't be good for anyone.

In addition, he had another concern.

Just as he thought, Hidezawa was deeply influenced by Danzo, and he was somewhat worried that Hidezawa might have been completely brainwashed by Danzo.

If that's the case, the situation will only get worse.

"They're doing alright now, but they need to be stationed permanently in the Dark Zone."

Jiraiya sighed inwardly, shook his head, and spoke.

"You know, the best way out for a spy like this when he returns to the village is to temporarily join the secret service and wait until things calm down before making any further decisions."

"I see. Then I can go see the Anbu."

Xiuze nodded. It was good that the interrogation was over. He had specifically reminded the two of this on his way back.

Just tell the mission information truthfully, and don't go into too much detail about other things, especially about Hidezawa himself.

Admittedly, members of the Yamanaka clan in the Dark Side could investigate the memories, but this would cause enormous damage.

Therefore, it is generally used against enemies and the dead; using it against one's own people would easily be considered taboo.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you."

After Jiraiya finished explaining the matter, he shook his head helplessly.

What he was about to say was the key to his trip, but just thinking about it made him nervous.

Is there no escaping it all?

"What is it? Speak."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and asked directly, while Hidezawa also looked very curious.

"Be prepared at any time; we might be heading to Kirigakure soon."

Jiraiya looked at Hidezawa with a deep gaze, then said in a low voice with great helplessness.

"This time, just like before, I'll be leading the team."

After saying this, Jiraiya fell silent, as if the tragic memories were starting to assault his brain again.

Xiuze blinked, surprised that the mission from Kirigakure had arrived so quickly!

He had been waiting for this mission for a long time. Although he didn't know the departure date yet, he hoped to resolve it as soon as possible.

"I've already ravaged Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure, how can Kirigakure be missing one member?"

Thinking of this, Xiuze couldn't help but laugh.

"I understand, Captain Jiraiya. I'm ready anytime."

"team leader."

Upon hearing the word "captain," Jiraiya tensed up, especially when he saw Hidezawa's smile; he seemed to understand something—

Finally, I have a team leader! Finally, someone else can take the blame for me!

"Using Yang Release in conjunction with Sage Mode?"

Konoha, inside the Hokage Building.

After leaving the Senju family ancestral home, Jiraiya went straight here and told Hiruzen Sarutobi about his discovery.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, with a pipe in his mouth, seemed somewhat dazed. As a "professor of ninjutsu," he was not as skilled as Hidezawa in a certain ability.

However, he has a deep understanding of the basic theories of various techniques, and he has also been involved in various aspects of them.

It's hard to say whether Orochimaru's dream of learning all ninjutsu and figuring out how all techniques work and their rules was influenced by him.

He certainly knew about the power of Yang Release, and he understood just how difficult it was to master this ability.

The same goes for Sage Mode. Even though he hadn't learned it, the First Hokage and his disciple Jiraiya both knew it, so he knew a fair bit about it.

At first, he thought that Hidezawa probably learned Sage Mode by gaining the approval of Shikkotsu Forest, just like the First Hokage.

Even if there are some differences, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

But now, after hearing Jiraiya's explanation, he realized just how risky Shusawa had been, and also just how talented he was!

"Yes, it's incredible."

Jiraiya nodded in agreement and sighed.

"Natural forces are inherently difficult to control, and those of Yang Release are even more bizarre, yet he actually..."

"Can you do that?"

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly asked a question out of curiosity, and Jiraiya's face immediately froze.

After a long while, he finally spoke with a sense of helplessness.

"I struggle even to use Sage Mode normally, let alone Yang Release."

"The only one who can directly control Yang Release within their body like that little guy is probably the legendary First Hokage, right?"

Jiraiya didn't actually know much about the First Hokage. By the time he and Tsunade teamed up to become Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciples, the Second Hokage had already passed away.

He grew up listening to the legends of the First Hokage, but he didn't really know much about him. He only knew that the First Hokage was incredibly powerful.

"Yes, I'm afraid only the First Generation could have done that."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. He was in a very good mood. The higher Shusawa's talent was, the better for him!

He never denied having selfish motives, nor did he think he was a good Hokage, after all, everyone has emotions and desires, and everyone has flaws.

However, he always upheld the will of the First and Second Hokage, and he always put Konoha first in everything he did!

The better Shusawa's talent and the stronger he becomes, the better it is for Konoha.

"This kid is really starting to resemble the First Hokage more and more."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled, having already forgotten that a year or two ago he thought Hidezawa had "the shadow of Minato Namikaze".

Even if he remembered, he probably wouldn't admit it. Minato was excellent, but he couldn't compare to the First Hokage.

Especially Xiuze, no matter how you look at it, he belongs to the Senju clan.

Whether he admits it or not!

The new generation of Hashirama Senju—how exciting!

"Indeed, that kid Hidezawa might slowly become the new First Generation, no, the Fifth Generation or the Sixth Generation."

Jiraiya shrugged nonchalantly, but his expression quickly turned serious.

"However, old man, there are some things you need to pay close attention to."

On one hand, there's the issue of the kid's safety; you know, the older he gets, the more likely he is to be targeted.

Besides that, old man, what exactly are you planning to do with Danzo?

Upon hearing the mention of Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression immediately froze, and his smile vanished.

Danzo's actions are truly a headache, and this guy really will stop at nothing!

He had been following up on the matter of Kabuto and Nonou Yakushi, and after learning about Danzo's methods, he immediately blocked all information about them.

The information that these two are still alive must not reach Danzo's ears in the slightest!

Is it even humanly possible to make those loyal to Konoha kill each other, especially the people closest to each other?

Furthermore, Hiruzen Sarutobi also realized that Danzo might have wanted to use this incident to lock down Hidezawa, otherwise he would have also sent Orochimaru there, with the purpose of shifting the hatred!

Sometimes he wondered if there was someone around him, otherwise why would he time his movements so perfectly so that Xiuze could see it?

Of course, it could also be a coincidence.

After all, once Orochimaru appeared, there were always a few surveillance cameras or similar devices recording his appearance nearby.

Keep a few photos, then carefully select the rest; the goal can be achieved in the same way.

Shuzawa will definitely hate Orochimaru, and then he will have to follow Danzo closely to obtain information.

In this way, Hidezawa will truly be unable to leave Danzo.

"This guy is really going too far!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi cursed under his breath, then gently rubbed his temples as he spoke.

"It seems I've indeed been too lenient with him; he's really going too far!"

"Good to know, but how exactly are you going to deal with him?"

Jiraiya shook his head; it was as if his teacher hadn't said anything at all.

However, he also knew that it would be very difficult for his teacher to deal with Danzo, just as it would be difficult for him to do anything to Orochimaru. His teacher was in the same boat.

"I will think about this carefully."

As expected, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, seemingly still undecided, and then changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about that. I have my own plans. But you, do you know why I put you in charge of Xiuze?"

You want me to take the blame?

Jiraiya didn't say anything, but the thought couldn't help but pop into his mind, after all, the memories of the mission in Iwagakure were too vivid.

"You and I both know that Shuzawa was deeply influenced by Danzo."

Seeing that Jiraiya hadn't spoken, Hiruzen Sarutobi began to speak on his own.

"So I need someone to adjust Xiuze's mindset. Although I really want to do it myself, I don't have that much time."

Besides confirming his Senju clan identity, I brought Tsunade back to help him sever his connection with Danzo.

At the same time, he relied on Tsunade to ease his mind, and Yugao was his first teammate when he entered the Anbu. I heard that he really liked that girl.

So I kept them together in the hope that she could comfort Xiuze, but that wasn't enough.

He has indeed changed a lot, but he still has huge deviations in his ninja philosophy, so I still need someone to help me.

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya intently.

"You are the best choice, even though I've always felt your ideas are a bit too idealistic."

However, this dream of pursuing peace can, to some extent, serve as a neutralizing factor for Xiuze.

He's too extreme, and you're too conservative. I hope you can pull him back a little, even if it's just a little!

Too extreme?

Too conservative?

Pull it back a bit?

Jiraiya's lips twitched involuntarily. If you want me to be your tool, just say so. Why do you have to make it sound like you're cursing me?

Besides, things have already developed to this point, does he still have any choice?

"But this is for the best. Danzo has harmed all the children, so let's start with you."

Jiraiya nodded, silently thinking to himself, "Danzo has harmed too many people, whether it's Hidezawa or Konan."

Since we can't find Xiao Nan right now, let's start with Xiu Ze first!

Just the thought of the name Shimura Danzo made even Jiraiya's fists harden.

"Shimura Danzo, what have you done?!"

"Is the mission in Kirigakure about to begin?"

After Jiraiya left, Hidezawa returned to his room.

For some reason, Tsunade seemed very unhappy. She left the house grumbling and ran off somewhere.

"Perhaps it's in another casino, or maybe in some pub?"

Xiuze tilted his head, somewhat amused, but he was also considering something else.

"I've had the White Zetsu's body for so long, shouldn't I do something about it?"

After Shusawa obtained the gold coins from Obito, he secretly studied the White Zetsu's body to compare the differences between him and Hashirama Senju.

However, lacking specialized equipment, he relied on perception and perfect self-control to make analogies.

To be honest, there wasn't much data and information he had obtained, but that was normal. Besides that, he also needed to consider the uses of White Zetsu's body.

He neither dared to nor needed to use it. He already had the ability to continuously grow stronger, so there was no need for him to introduce any random things into his body.

In particular, he is neither an Uchiha nor a Senju.

"But Tsunade is."

Uchiha had no immediate plans. Shisui was indeed a good person, but Hidezawa was waiting to see how things would develop and consider how to respond.

Therefore, his help to Zhishui now is all help except for practical assistance!

Who can deny that "talking skills" can be a form of help?

Tsunade is a true member of the Senju clan, and she is also directly related to Hashirama Senju by blood.

Admittedly, White Zetsu was a product created by Black Zetsu and Madara Uchiha through Kaguya's "hanging" technique.

But it cannot be denied that Hashirama Senju's cells were too powerful; he managed to completely transform these White Zetsu!

"Although it's not as good as something like 'Afei' in terms of cell activity, this thing still possesses similar power and can be used."

Tobi, that White Zetsu, is an individual who can control Yamato's body and directly use an extremely powerful Wood Release technique!

Xiuze was also extremely craving it, but unfortunately, he didn't know where it was hiding. Maybe it had gone to help Obito?
