Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

[Black Tower: But isn't there an even better way? Not to mention our brother has powers like [Discipline of Knowledge] and [Discipline of Discipline], that old bastard Danzo also has a Kotoamatsukami hidden away, right? We could totally make the Konoha F4 do whatever they want for you!]

Tsunade: This...

With this idea in mind, Tsunade was instantly tempted. If these old fogies listened to her, the power transition would be much easier.

However, using Kotoamatsukami still carries the risk of exposure. Just like how Yagura Karatachi of Kirigakure was exposed by the Byakugan when caught in a genjutsu, using this technique in Konoha is too easy to expose. But thinking about it carefully, these old guys value power so much. Unless they do something too illogical, would the members of the Hyuga clan really dare to use the Byakugan to observe them?

Or to be more straightforward, just let them fully hand over power during this period, and in a few days let these old guys fight Orochimaru to the death!

Having made up her mind but unable to carry it out, Tsunade smiled at Gu Jing, her sly little eyes looking as comical as if she wanted to steal a chicken.

[Tsunade: I can't do this on my own, and it's a bit too late to find Kotoamatsukami now, but it's not a big problem, I still have you, @Gu Jing. However, I won't let you suffer—once you become Hokage, this village will be under my control, Tsunade. Provided I'm well-fed, you can choose any female ninja you like! As long as she agrees, any financial issues, job problems, or family obstacles can all be handled by me! What do you think?]

Seeing this, Gu Jing couldn't suppress the gradual upward curve of his lips: [Deal!]

The female characters of Naruto: "..." 6!

Strictly speaking, Tsunade's condition wasn't betraying them, but rather providing them with a legitimate opportunity to be with Gu Jing. Kurenai and the others were just shy and had no objections. On the contrary, Ino, who already had some ideas, was overjoyed and extremely grateful to Tsunade for the opportunity.

However, for Mei Terumi, Yugito, Samui, Temari, Kurotsuchi, and others, Tsunade's actions at this moment were quite shocking. But thinking about it carefully... they might not be unable to replace her, or they might not be unable to cooperate!

******

As recorded by the live stream, Gu Jing and his two companions entered the building, arrived at the Hokage's office, and met Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He was wearing a white Hokage robe with a red ninja outfit underneath and a Hokage hat on his head. However, due to old age, the old man's hair and mustache had turned white. He had a pipe in his mouth, and his face, covered with age spots, was full of wrinkles. When he saw Tsunade and the other two, he stood up from his seat and prepared to greet them with a kind smile.

But Gu Jing disregarded martial ethics and joined Tsunade in deceiving and ambushing this 69-year-old man. In the instant their eyes met, he used his [Discernment] authority to alter his consciousness. Not only did the Anbu not notice, but even the people in the live broadcast room did not!

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi's reaction speed was truly remarkable; even with his consciousness altered, his facial expression remained completely flawless.

They even maintained the act of greeting each other on the surface, but behind their backs, their right hands made a hidden hand seal. The hidden members of the secret service were instantly cleared out, and people watching the live stream could see this.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, sensing this, could no longer maintain his smile.

He collapsed onto his seat as if he had lost all support.

His face turned ashen.

His already hunched back became even more hunched.

It was as if all their energy and spirit had been drained away in that instant.

The person was on the verge of decay.

He could only relieve his stress by smoking a pipe.

Upon seeing this, Tsunade and Shizune, unaware of the situation, couldn't help but look at Gu Jing. Gu Jing responded with a smile and gave his answer through the live chat.

[Gu Jing: Personality modification is a delicate process, and I don't have the time for it. So, I just need to make him obey your orders, and put your safety first, no matter what the interests are, or even if his life is in danger.]

[Silver Wolf: Oh, I see. Simply put, this guy's nature hasn't changed, but he prioritizes following Tsunade's orders, even if it goes against his survival instincts! His not attacking or calling for backup earlier was also to protect Tsunade's safety.]

[Tsunade: No wonder... But it's for the best, at least communication isn't a problem.]

[Sawamura Sayuri: That's a truly terrifying power, isn't it? Personality manipulation and all that... Thankfully, Kei-kun didn't use it for anything bad.]

[Gu Jing: Pfft~ Just because Hiruzen Sarutobi isn't a good person doesn't mean doing this isn't wrong? Don't say that. Under no circumstances would a gentleman do this. But actually, it's not a big deal. I've never considered myself a gentleman. Whether it's bullying men and women or taking advantage of the weak, as long as I'm paid enough, I can handle any inconvenient task. That's just the kind of person who acts without restraint!]

[Liang Bing: So, if I want you to teach that bitch Keisha a lesson, what price do I need to pay? My worn-out stockings, Queen?]

[Gu Jing: You think you can get me to teach Little Nai Sha a lesson with just a pair of stockings? Are you looking down on me or Little Nai Sha? But, to be fair, since you kind of appeal to my tastes, this deal is still negotiable. But for now, there's only one scope of service: let me play with your evil for ten minutes, and I'll spank her ass ten times. *winks and smiles*]

[Liang Bing: Hmph~ I knew you were still eyeing me, but I've already let you play with me, how come you only hit me ten times? At least a hundred times!]

[Keisha's eyebrows twitched wildly: Do you believe I can punch you a hundred times right now?]

[Liang Bing: I believe you! How could I not believe you? You've definitely been better than me all these years! I realized this a long time ago, but if you're so capable, why don't you use the same conditions to get Gu Jing to beat me up a hundred times!]

Everyone: Wow! Using their strengths to exploit their weaknesses! This was a total KO! (Laughing and crying emoji)

*******

While Tsunade couldn't help but chuckle, she didn't give Hiruzen Sarutobi time to process his thoughts, which were still filled with many doubts. The death of Nawaki, Dan Kato's approach to her, Kushina's abduction by the Cloud Ninja in the village, and how to view her... Even after watching "Naruto," many questions remained in Tsunade's mind.

Under her serious gaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi habitually took a puff of his pipe, exhaling thick white smoke: "Although I don't know why you suspect me, Tsunade, the things you just mentioned weren't done by me..."

"I admit that I have made many mistakes in my life."

"Especially after you left Konoha, Minato sacrificed himself, and my own body gradually aged..."

"To protect Konoha."

"I had to force myself to back down again and again."

"Hyuga, Uchiha... they all contributed to the peace of the village."

"But this is also a result of being forced into a corner."

"Because the village's overall strength is not what it used to be."

"We cannot go through war again..."

Like a senior who has worked diligently all his life, he confides his feelings to the younger generation he has high hopes for, revealing his weakness across three generations.

Seeing his willing yet powerless expression, many unsuspecting people were almost fooled by him. However, there were also quite a few who could see through his true colors. With the help of the crowd, Tsunade continued to press for answers:

·· ·····Requesting 0 flowers ······

"I didn't ask you those questions. I only know one thing: if something happens, there must be a mastermind behind it!"

"You say you didn't do these things, but you didn't pursue the matter further. You should know who actually did them!"

"Don't even think about covering for me!"

Tell me! Who is he?

"..."

Silence. Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent. He gave Gu Jing a deep look, then exhaled another puff of smoke. But under everyone's gaze, he ultimately couldn't disobey Tsunade's orders and revealed his true thoughts:

“Danzo, although I don’t have direct evidence, the things you just mentioned were probably done by Danzo.”

"I'm sorry about Nawaki. At that time, I was still researching the First Hokage's cells, trying to develop Wood Release. This was only done with the teacher's support, but the research didn't go smoothly. Also, during that period, the Senju clan was against me becoming Hokage, so Danzo was a bit anxious. But I really didn't expect that Nawaki's death would cause you to suffer from hemophobia..."

"Kato Dan, his family is a vassal of the Shimura family. He was able to obtain the Spirit Transformation Technique because of Danzo's expectations of him. If I'm not mistaken, Danzo initially only wanted him to stop you from becoming Hokage, but he was very ambitious and actually wanted to use your identity to help him become Hokage, so he was eliminated by Danzo..."

... ... ...

"Kushina was the most suitable person in the village to become a Jinchuriki. To keep her in the village, Danzo discussed this with me, and... Lady Mito also supported it, telling us that only love can unleash the full power of a Jinchuriki. So Danzo had Root ninjas disguise themselves as Cloud ninjas and kidnap her, leaving clues for the right person to rescue her. That person... I chose Minato..."

"And you, I am truly sorry. I have always regarded you as a cherished disciple, a continuation of the First Hokage and Tobirama."

"But things have come to this point..."

"It's all my fault..."

"Sometimes I think about it too."

"If only we had been tougher on Danzo back then."

"Will the outcome be different?"

However, this possibility does not exist in this world...

"We can only face it."

Everyone: "..." We're numb! Really numb!

Five minutes ago, the unsuspecting Katsuragi Misato and others thought he was a pitiful old man who was about to die and said the right things. Only now did they realize that this old man was clearly a pitiful person with a hateful side!

He disregarded the bond between teacher and student, murdered the families of his teacher and disciple, and used his romantic relationships to trip up promising juniors... Perhaps he wasn't involved in these dirty deeds, but he was aware of them and chose to conceal and protect the mastermind behind them!

At this moment, Kushina, who had been silently watching the drama unfold inside Naruto's body, was a little stunned. This drama had somehow ended up happening right in front of her!

Such a wonderful plot twist left Mei Terumi and others who were catching the juicy gossip amazed.

I also learned how to use white gloves from it.

That really doesn't get your hands dirty!

But seeing the barely contained anger on Tsunade's face and her clenched fists, everyone knew she was about to lose her temper.

However, with the sound of a cane tapping on the wooden board, the door to the Hokage's office was pushed open from the outside by a man wrapped in bandages. But the moment his eyes met Gu Jing's, this dark figure of Konoha followed in the footsteps of the Third Hokage.

[Xingbao: It's him! It's that guy who's so good at taking the blame! *winks and smiles*]

[Silver Wolf: He's clearly the real Kazekage! (Funny image)]

[Black Tower: Danzo, the legendary darkness of Konoha, who also harbors the power to take the blame, show me your true power! (doge emoji)]

[Yae no Miko: But now that things have come to this, simply making them work like slaves is clearly not enough, is it?]

Gu Jing: Let the victims decide that.

[Hu Tao: No problem!]

[Yingmei: That's too many. *laughing and crying emoji*]

[Kasumigaoka Utaha: What goes around comes around. Since the sins were committed, it's only fair that the victims seek revenge. If I had to give my opinion, I would only say two words: They deserved it!]

PS: The image shows Tsunade (six).

Chapter 366 Himeko: Times Have Changed, Theresa...

A person's psychological endurance has its limits, especially for someone as emotional as Tsunade; her anger gauge doesn't last long.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had already revealed enough inside stories to her, and now that Danzo was under Gu Jing's control, she really wasn't in the mood to learn about any of that nonsense, because she really couldn't resist taking action.

With her eyes closed and adjusting her breathing, Tsunade, without even glancing at the two old men, left the office first with a taut face.

Shizune, whose thoughts were equally chaotic, hurriedly followed in her footsteps. Gu Jing, with a smile on his lips, was in no hurry to leave. Women can act impulsively, but as the man behind Tsunade, he naturally had to handle everything properly.

Looking at Danzo and the Third Hokage, whose expressions were gloomy, he did not give them a long speech, but instead picked out some key matters to explain to them.

For example, before Tsunade gave the order, the two old men arranged their daily routines to avoid revealing that they were being controlled by her.

Then Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu also need to find an opportunity to make arrangements as soon as possible. At that time, a female ANBU member will go to inform Tsunade.

The final key point is the Hokage position and the transfer of power.

Whether it's the Root organization, the Anbu, or the network of connections the two have built up over the years, everything will be handed over to Tsunade.

After explaining everything, Gu Jing prepared to leave, but as he reached the door, he turned back with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, could you two act out '883'? It's the scene that often happens after you two have an argument."
