Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

Jingyin took a small notebook and kept taking notes.

……

"If there really is such a passage, it should be an upward passage. Why do the clues point to a lake?"

Looking at the water in front of him, Hinata Hiashi muttered to himself.

Several branch family members nearby were rolling their eyes and observing the water surface. "Master, we can't see what's under the water. Do we need to go in and check?"

After thinking for a while, Rizu shook his head and said, "Let's rest here first."

On the moon, a boy with pale skin and long blue-white hair, with his eyes closed, was observing the earth in a special way. Naturally, he saw all the movements at the Earth-Moon Channel.

"The Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi?"

After thinking for a while, he said in a certain direction, "Go, lead them over..."

It's quiet at night.

A figure flashed by quickly and jumped into the water with a member of the branch family.

thump……

The sound of the water hitting the ground woke up Rizu and his companions, and they rushed to the lake upon hearing the sound.

"What happened?" asked Rizu.

Noticing that one of his tribesmen was missing, Rizu asked again, "Who was the first to arrive here?"

"It's me." A member of the tribe responded.

"Did you see anything?"

"Master, it seems someone has fallen in." The clan member had a strange look on his face.

"Fell in?"

Hiashi stared at the water surface carefully.

Apart from the noise just now, the lake was very calm.

Nothing floated up, there were no obvious foreign objects, and there was no change in the water level.

"Jump down one by one." After a long time, he ordered.

Chapter 119 What Misunderstood

The next day.

Yang Xi woke up refreshed.

As for Tsunade, despite having a good sleep, she still felt physically and mentally exhausted.

I didn't expect being a Hokage to be so tiring.

In particular, Sarutobi Hiruzen died too suddenly, and Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En were both trembling with fear and didn't dare to say much, resulting in no one to hand over to her, so she had to familiarize herself with each department one by one.

Looking at Jingyin who was busy in the kitchen, she felt relieved and her mood became much happier.

Shizune is probably the only person in Konoha who can make her feel relaxed.

"Shizune, you won't leave, will you? You will stay with me forever, right?" Tsunade suddenly had a sad look in her eyes, with sadness and fragility between her brows, and expectation in her tone.

Shizune thought she was just thinking about her broken relationship with Jiraiya, the dead Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the old friends in the past, and felt sad. She immediately replied: "Lady Tsunade, I will never leave, I swear."

"Well, I'll leave all the official duties for today to you." Tsunade suddenly smiled brightly, her heart clearing up.

Shizune's face immediately fell, and she realized that Tsunade was just pretending, "Tsunade-sama, you haven't officially taken office yet, is this really okay?"

"Forget it, let's leave it to Hizashi." Tsunade sighed.

...

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Hinata Hizashi was invited into the Hokage Building with a confused look on his face.

Tsunade specially had someone arrange a desk for him so that he could handle some lower-level matters on her behalf.

The corner of Hizashi's mouth twitched, and he thought in his heart with amusement: Brother, if you don't come back, maybe my status will be higher than yours...

When the news of Hizashi furiously signing documents in the Hokage Building spread, people from other families felt jealous.

It seems that the Fifth Hokage will favor the Hyuga clan alone... so they thought.

In the Ninja School, Hinata and Neji returned to school.

In Iruka's class, however, there were two empty seats.

Not many people cared about Naruto, after all, he had only been in the school for a few days in total.

Moreover, he had left school before, and no one thought much of it.

As for Sasuke, he is mentioned frequently.

Especially the girls like Haruno Sakura, they all seemed to have lost their dreams and were dejected from time to time.

"Iruka-sensei, where on earth is Sasuke?"

Iruka had no choice but to say, "Sasuke is currently participating in secret training. When Lady Tsunade ascends to the throne, she will definitely train her own personal guards. You understand, right?"

"So that's it." Many people suddenly realized.

Iruka breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, someone at the Hokage Building had already told him the truth.

Sasuke "defected"...

However, Iruka was also warned not to leak the news.

Iruka had no choice but to make up such a lie.

"If it's a secret, why are you allowed to tell it?" Ino muttered softly.

Shikamaru sighed, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Uncle and the others should have told you to keep a low profile."

Ino and Choji nodded silently at the same time.

Even Akamaru on Inuzuka Kiba's head barked a few times.

...

After staying in the Hokage building for an hour or so, Tsunade couldn't hold it in any longer and ran out.

Jingyin thought for half a minute and decided to give up and followed.

Tsunade thought to herself: Don't they want me to practice fairy arts? But now I'm the Hokage, how can I have so much free time? I have to go ask that guy.

The position of Hokage is actually a bondage...

At this time, Xiyan was also taking a walk outside.

Tsunade walked over, took her arm, and pulled her into a tavern.

Seeing the two of them being so intimate, Hongdou and others who had been keeping a distance from Xiyan were dumbfounded.

As soon as Xiyan and her companion stepped into the pub, Shizune followed them in.

...

"How long will it take for Rizu to come back after opening a copy?" Yang Xi narrowed his eyes, looked up at the sky and sighed.

“Other things have to go on.”

After searching for a while, he did not see Tsunade in the Hokage Building, so he asked Kaguya about her location.

In the pub, Tsunade said, "Xiyan, what are your plans? Otherwise, I will help you restore your original identity."

After taking a sip of wine, Xi Yan said: "Tsunade-sama, I think it's fine now. The identity of a ninja is actually a restriction for me. Now I can go wherever I want and stay in whichever country I want. I feel very free. Of course, I will still help."

Tsunade couldn't help but sigh and said with a headache: "Then who am I serving as Hokage for? It seems that the person who asked me to be Hokage doesn't really care about this position."

Jingyin drank silently and fed some food to the pig in her arms.

Yang Xi walked over in that direction and sat in the empty seat at the table.

After looking at a few people, he asked, "Tsunade, is the Third Hokage alive?"

"He was buried last night." Tsunade said calmly, "In the coffin I ordered for him, on the tombstone with his name engraved on it. I buried him with my own hands."

Seeing that her tone was a little strange and her attitude was a little distant, Yang Xi calmly filled the half-empty wine glass in front of her.

"Even if he were alive, I don't think he would treat you well. In his eyes, you are the one who humiliated him."

"He will only do things that break your heart again and again, just like Jiraiya. Only Kaguya and I will tolerate you again and again."

The first part of the words was fine, but when Tsunade heard the second part, the corners of her mouth twitched and her expression looked weird.

Your words can only deceive young people and make them feel touched. You are so naive to use such words in front of me!

"Please, be sincere..." Tsunade curled her lips and did not respond to his words. She asked, "Even if you want to kill the Sandaime, you can just end his life directly. Why do you have to do that?"

Yang Xi was speechless for a moment.

He knew that he had to explain this matter clearly to them today.

Not to mention Tsunade, who has a close relationship with Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen, even Yugao might have some thoughts in her mind.

"Perhaps it's because I rarely kill people on my own initiative that you misunderstood something?"

"Stop playing tricks and just say whatever you want to say." Xiyan said.

"I originally thought about what would happen if the Third Hokage didn't die. He would have changed his personality drastically because of the humiliation he suffered. Like Danzo, he would hide in a dark corner, constantly yelling to take back Konoha's sovereignty, and even do all kinds of dirty things."

"As for Jiraiya, he will become a person like the original Sandaime, helpless and indulgent because of his emotions and hesitation..."

Chapter 120 120 I don't need them to like me

"If this is the ending, the Third Hokage will lose everything and turn from a glorious and great Hokage into a villain, and Jiraiya will continue to flee. It looks like we have won and driven them out of Konoha, and Jiraiya and his men have lost completely."

"But if you think about it carefully, there might be some unexpected surprises for Jiraiya..."

"An unexpected surprise?" Tsunade and the other two showed surprised expressions on their faces at the same time.

Yang Xi said: "Think carefully about the relationship between the Third Hokage and Danzo. They seem to be at odds with each other, but in fact, they always have some strange tacit understanding."

"Anything that the Third Hokage is not convenient to do will be quietly leaked to Danzo, and he will handle it."

"In other words, the Third Hokage projected the dark side of his heart onto Danzo, while he will always remain innocent and righteous."

"If the third generation is still alive, the future may be the same. Jiraiya will reflect the darkness that he does not want to touch on him, and there will be a tacit understanding between the two..."

Tsunade opened her mouth and wanted to say something. She felt that Yang Xi was right, but also wrong. However, Tsunade couldn't figure out how to refute it for a while.

Will Jiraiya really become that kind of person? She wondered.

But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible.

Pain makes people extreme, and constant failures and setbacks will make people lose their edges and vitality.

Yang Xi glanced at the drinks on the table and the wine glasses in front of the three people, and secretly complained that the waiters in this restaurant had no good eyesight.

He just licked his dry lips and continued, "So, after considering it, I decided to let the third generation die. This way, I can directly tear off the mask on Jiraiya. I want him to touch those dirty things with his own hands."

"Hasn't he always thought we were evil? Then how can he, a fallen man, claim to be the savior of the world?"

Tsunade's eyes moved slightly, her face expressionless, as she waited for him to continue.

"In fact, the relationship between Jiraiya and Naruto is quite strange. Naruto seems to be the most central figure, but his thoughts are not important at all. He is protected, wrapped up in love, and pushed forward by the dedication and morality imposed on him by others..."

Then he shook his head and said, "Maybe he will never understand what he wants. He is just a decoration."

"If I kill the Third Hokage directly, Jiraiya and Naruto will work together and become more cohesive."

"Isn't it the same now? Do you expect Naruto to create a rift with Jiraiya? He doesn't have that brains, he simply can't figure it out." Xi Yan interjected.

"Maybe... Everyone will find excuses for themselves." Yang Xi shrugged and smiled faintly: "After this time, in addition to the toad's orders, Jiraiya may have a new motivation - hatred. Because only hatred can cover up the wounds in his heart."

Tsunade felt inexplicably unhappy. She turned her head away and took several deep breaths.

Finally, she couldn't help but turn around, met Yang Xi's gaze, and said with a little indifference, "Do you think you are amazing?"

"I locked others in the Colosseum, watching them tear each other apart, while I sat in the stands and observed everyone's performance, as if I were conducting an experiment on human nature, and regarded myself as the creator of the world..."

"It's not without reason that Kaguya favors you, because you two are basically the same kind of people."
