In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

Page 96

Hiruzen Sarutobi was not discouraged.

He said slowly.

"There is no ninja in Konoha right now who can take the place of the Fifth Hokage."

"You're back just in time, Tsunade. You can't run away again!"

Tsunade immediately shook her head: "No, no, I won't!"

"Whoever wants to be Hokage can be, I'm not going to!"

"Tsunade, Konoha was built by your grandfather and great-grandfather. Can you bear to watch Konoha decline?"

"Old man, I told you I'm leaving, so don't try anything funny!"

Tsunade said firmly, "If you say those words again, believe me, I'll leave right now!"

Seeing Tsunade's "better to die than live" attitude, Hiruzen Sarutobi's cheek twitched.

Naruto...

This is the highest point in Konoha.

He is also the number one figure in the entire ninja world.

Tsunade... could you please stop being so dismissive?!

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, I won't talk about this."

finished,

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately changed his expression.

A very serious face.

"Tsunade, Tengo is traveling with you on this mission. Please tell me the details again."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow: "What's there to say? Didn't Tengo already report this to you?!"

"Oh, right, old man!"

"Didn't you just say there was no one to choose the Fifth Hokage? What do you think of that kid, Tenyu?!"

"I think he's pretty good!"

"He's a good person, and very capable; the only drawback is that he's too young..."

"But it's alright, old man, you're in good health and can work for many more years!"

"By the time you die, Tianyu will be in his prime!"

Tsunade's eyes gleamed.

The more she talked, the more she felt that Tenyu was the best candidate to succeed the Fifth Hokage!

Chapter 83 Akatsuki Organization

Seeing Tsunade getting more and more excited as she spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes.

"The enemy...you really didn't kill them?"

"Of course not!"

Tsunade stopped speaking and stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi in disbelief.

"Old man, you don't believe Tianyu is that strong?"

"He's an ANBU ninja, you're not telling me you don't know his strength, are you? You actually have to ask me this kind of question?"

"His previous displays of strength have never reached this level."

Shaking his head, Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a long breath.

"This time, our opponent is none other than Kakuzu..."

"He was from the same era as the First Hokage, and although he couldn't compare to the First Hokage, he was still..."

Kakuzu,

Hiruzen Sarutobi was already quite famous when he was still a kid.

Having lived for so many years...

Five hearts...

In addition, there's the Hidden Takigakure's secret treasure, the Earth Grudge Fear...

To be honest, even Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't dare say he, as Hokage, could win against Kakuzu!

But Tenyu brought back Kakuzu's head on this mission?!

This far exceeded his previous assessment of the kid's strength!

Even though the kid had just recounted the details of the incident to him, he still found it hard to believe.

"Tsunade, are you sure you didn't help Amagi fight Kakuzu?"

"Where would I have the time? You know my current situation, and you know why I left Konoha in the first place."

While Tenyu was fighting Kakuzu, I was facing Kakuzu's companion, a monster who wouldn't die even if his head were cut off. I was barely able to protect myself!

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."

Tianyu

This Heavenly Emperor...

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could think any further, Tsunade, who was standing nearby, became unhappy.

Tsunade, known as the Princess of Konoha,

Although she had left Konoha for many years, this place was still the Konoha she knew.

So her princess-like temper can come on anytime soon.

"Hey, old man!"

"Tianyu has done a great service this time, you can't do anything underhanded to him!"

"Someone with such talent, even if you don't make him the successor to Hokage, you should at least promote him!"

"An ANBU squad leader...tsk!"

Tsunade clicked her tongue in disdain.

What's the point of this position?

When encountering trouble,

Don't we still have to rush in like cannon fodder?

Tsunade had previously received a tracking bow from Ame-no-Mikoto and was very fond of this ninja tool; in a way, Tsunade owed this kid a favor.

Moreover, Tsunade liked this kid's previous behavior and way of handling things.

He's clearly a very clever kid, and his skills are quite impressive.

That's why Tsunade brought up the matter at this point.

"What are you thinking? Why would I scheme against the people of Konoha?"

"As Hokage, one must maintain a certain level of skepticism towards everyone..."

"But since you think so highly of Tianyu, fine, fine, then I won't test his loyalty."

Immediately, Hiruzen Sarutobi grinned.

"Leaving aside the question of who will succeed as Hokage,"

"But it's a promotion..."

"kindness."

"Tianyu has indeed made a great contribution this time and deserves a promotion."

There was something Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't say.

Because the information was incomplete.

According to Tenyu and Tsunade, the two people they were fighting against were both dressed in uniform-like clothing, black trench coats with red auspicious clouds, and they seemed to be from the same faction.

An unknown force!

Five hearts, and the ability to survive decapitation... a very strange force!

Furthermore, this power is able to absorb figures like Kakuzu... This power is not to be underestimated!

It seems we need to send more people to gather intelligence.

......

the land of rain,

Akatsuki's base

Yahiko, controlled by Nagato Uzumaki, stared at a pair of captivating Rinnegan eyes, looking at the head of Hidan that Zetsu had brought back.

His voice was somewhat low.

"The Dark-Colored Grim Reaper..."

"Konoha is indeed not to be underestimated."

Swish swish swish,
