Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Page 214

Tell me about it.

Tsunade looked like a well-behaved elementary school student listening to a lesson.

"Sunagakure will retain its sovereignty, but it must be open and transparent to Konoha in all aspects, including military, political, and economic matters. Konoha can build factories in Sunagakure, and Konoha ninjas do not need permission to enter Sunagakure."

"At the same time, Konoha can provide economic aid and technical support to Sunagakure, but if Konoha needs it, such as in the event of a war with other ninja villages, Sunagakure must obey Konoha's orders."

"Will Sunagakure agree to this?"

After hearing what Shirakumo Aoba said, Tsunade felt that Sunagakure, as one of the five great ninja villages, should not do something so humiliating and disgraceful.

Baiyun Qingye revealed a meaningful smile.

"But haven't they already handed us the bargaining chips at the negotiating table?"

"You mean Luo Sha and the others..."

Tsunade suddenly realized.

The Sand Village's actions this time were ostensibly for participating in the Chunin Exams.

This also means that they could not bring a large number of ninja troops.

However, in order to ensure that Konoha can be defeated, Rasa will inevitably bring all the elite forces that Sunagakure can bring to Konoha.

Furthermore, given that Konoha is playing on its home turf and currently has an intelligence advantage, it is entirely possible to take down all the elite troops brought by Rasa.

If Sunagakure does not agree to their conditions, they will lose this elite force.

The other three major ninja villages, having nothing better to do, will definitely go to Sunagakure to plunder.

However, in order to ensure that Sunagakure obeys, a marriage alliance is not out of the question...

"very good!"

Tsunade also gave a somewhat meaningful smile.

"Kid, once this incident is over, if you perform well, I'll promote you to Jonin."

A bad feeling arose in Baiyun Qingye's heart.

"Teacher...you're not thinking of making me Hokage ahead of schedule, are you?"

"What? You're not happy now? Didn't you swear you were going to become Hokage...?"

"Ok?"

Tsunade's eyebrows suddenly furrowed. After all these years, she was only now beginning to notice the subtle meaning behind those words.

"The Hokage's...man?"

Tsunade narrowed her eyes, her gaze becoming extremely dangerous.

"Well... teacher, actually I have something important to report."

Shirokumo Aoba was surprised that Tsunade could remember even something she said years ago so clearly, and quickly changed the subject.

"Humph!"

Tsunade's expression was not good. She did not expect that this rebellious disciple would have set his sights on her so early.

"Say!"

"I encountered people from Kumogakure today, and there was a dangerous character among them who could very well be the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails."

"Two-tailed creature?!"

Tsunade's expression turned serious. "Are you sure?"

Shirokumo Aoba nodded. "Kagura's Mind's Eye can sense the chakra deep within a ninja, so it must be the chakra of a tailed beast."

(Karin sensed the Nine-Tails' chakra within Naruto)

"It seems that the Hidden Cloud Village is not behaving honestly either!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth, her attention completely diverted.

"Putting aside whether Kumogakure and Sunagakure are cooperating, they will definitely take advantage of the situation when things are going well."

Baiyun Qingye shared her guess.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade clenched her fist, looked at Shirakumo Aoba, and said seriously, "The two tailed beasts, Rasa, and that Akatsuki organization... I think we should cancel this Chunin Exams ahead of schedule."

Losing face is a minor matter.

"Teacher, they are just Jinchūriki, so it's difficult for them to unleash the full power of the Tailed Beasts."

Shirokumo Aoba gave Tsunade a reassuring look.

"As long as I use the Wood Doll Technique, everything will be alright."

He felt he was missing a little mustache when he said that.

However, Tsunade's expression remained solemn; tailed beasts are weapons of war with massive destructive power.

The harm caused to the village was more terrifying than the shadows cast by other villages.

Although she trusted the kid, she was also worried that he had underestimated the power of the tailed beasts.

"Let me see your wooden dummy technique."

"no problem."

Shirokumo Aoba stood up and walked towards Tsunade.

"what are you up to……"

Looking at Shirokumo Aoba who walked up to her, Tsunade looked suspicious.

"Kid! What are you doing!?"

Before she could finish speaking, Baiyun Qingye picked her up in a princess carry.

This made Tsunade both ashamed and angry, and she struggled like a child.

"Teacher, didn't you want to see the Wood Man Technique? I'll use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take you to the Forest of Death."

Baiyun and Qingye hugged each other tighter.

"You rebellious disciple, let's go to the Wet Bone Forest!"

Tsunade's pretty face flushed red. It was the first time she had been hugged like this, especially by her disciple.

"Oh……"

"Put me down now!"

"Fine……"

What does your disappointed tone mean?

……

"You mean you just met a teenager who put a lot of pressure on you?"

Inside the room, Sunagakure's Jonin leader, Maki, frowned as he spoke, his gaze sweeping over the three before finally settling on Gaara.

"How is that possible? Are you sure that kid didn't use some kind of trick?"

But Gaara fell silent, too lazy to explain a single word to him.

Maki was helpless; Gaara's temper was such that, apart from Rasa, only Temari could say a few words to him.

Maki could only look at Kankuro, whose head was wrapped in bandages.

"You really got knocked out like this by just one punch?"

Kankuro could only nod, his speech slurred and unclear, "His speed was too fast, and his strength was too great, I couldn't react at all."

"What's his name?"

"White clouds and green leaves".

Temari helped answer this question.

"White clouds and green leaves?!" Maki exclaimed in surprise.

"Do you know Mr. Maki?" Temari asked curiously.

"The other party is a disciple of the Hokage, so he should have just graduated from the Ninja Academy. I didn't expect him to already have such strong strength."

Maki spoke in a serious tone, with a hint of decisiveness.

"But there's no need to worry about him. No matter how strong he is, he's just a kid who just graduated."

Maki believes that even if Shirokumo Aoba is a genius, at best he's only at the same level as Kakashi, roughly a Jonin.

They don't take it too seriously yet.

As for making Gaara feel pressured, after all, without using Shukaku's power, Gaara's strength is only at this level.

However, he didn't care much, but his three disciples were already harboring their own thoughts.

"The Hokage's disciple..."

……

Didn't you go shopping this afternoon?

After having a deep conversation with Tsunade in Shikkotsu Forest, Shirokumo Aoba returned home.

Mei Terumi and the others are still at home.

Only Ino left; she must have gone to the training grounds.
