Chapter 205 Tsunade takes the initiative to talk
Chapter 205: Tsunade takes the initiative to talk (th update)
"Tsunade-sama, Hanekawa-sama, see you next time."
Slug said in a gentle tone.
Bang.
The smoke rose and dissipated, taking its body with it.
Tsunade lay back down on the carpet with a complicated expression on her face.
Whether it was the new Wood Release ninja or the restart of the Wood Release experiment, it was all too sudden and caught her off guard.
"teacher."
Hanekawa moved his body and got closer to her.
A faint fragrance emanated from her body.
Tsunade turned her head subconsciously and found that the distance between the two people was less than ten centimeters.
Hanekawa's face seemed to be enlarged in her eyes.
She stared for a second, then looked away.
"What do you want to say?"
Tsunade asked softly.
"There's no need to be unhappy because of someone like Shimura Danzo."
Hanekawa moved his fingers and soon touched her hand.
He glanced at Tsunade, and seeing that she didn't react, he felt relieved and held her hand.
“I just feel a little sorry.”
Tsunade looked at the top of the tent and said slowly, "He was my second grandfather's student. He was not like this when he was young."
"People are going to change."
Hanekawa said as he felt Tsunade's soft hand.
"Yes."
Tsunade thought of Hashirama Senju and Nawaki, and said with some sadness.
"teacher."
Hanekawa hesitated, not knowing how to start.
"I am fine."
Tsunade shook her head and said.
She and Hanekawa had been together for too long, and even though he didn't say it, she knew what he wanted to say.
"Do you want to hear about what happened in the past?"
For some reason, Tsunade suddenly wanted to talk.
Perhaps it was because Wood Release brought back memories of her past.
"Okay."
Hanekawa nodded quickly, "My previous teacher must have been great too."
When a woman opens her heart, what it means is self-evident.
"You little brat!"
Tsunade couldn't help but laugh.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Hanekawa blinked and asked.
"If you say it's amazing, then there's nothing wrong with that."
Tsunade said with a smug look on her face, "Your teacher has been beating people up since he was in ninja school!"
"I guess the one who was beaten was Uncle Jiraiya."
Hanekawa turned his head to look at her, but his gaze uncontrollably climbed up to the snow-capped mountains.
"That guy has been very lustful since he was a child!"
Tsunade snorted coldly and said, "I didn't beat him to death, which is considered as mercy on my part!"
Upon hearing this, Hanekawa broke out in a sweat and quickly looked away.
He always felt that Tsunade would beat him up in the next second.
But if you think about it, he is better than Jiraiya. He won't go to the hot springs to peek or go to the pub to have fun.
"What about Orochimaru?"
Hanekawa changed the subject and asked.
"As for Orochimaru, he's a bit like you, a ninjutsu genius."
Tsunade sighed and said, "He learns all kinds of ninjutsu quickly. In comparison, Jiraiya seems to be a laggard."
Hanekawa nodded.
In the original work, Orochimaru learned a lot of forbidden techniques, such as Impure World Reincarnation and the Eight-Headed Technique.
Not only can one learn but also create new ninjutsu, such as Reincarnation of the Dead and Curse Seal.
Except for not having a bloodline limit, Orochimaru is already considered one of the top civilian ninjas.
"pity."
Tsunade suddenly said.
Hanekawa subconsciously raised his head and looked at her.
"I have a younger brother named Nawaki, who is a student of Orochimaru."
After a long silence, Tsunade began to speak, "Since his death, Orochimaru seems to have become a different person."
Hanekawa couldn't help but be surprised.
He didn't expect Tsunade to even talk about the matter of Rope Tree.
But on the other hand, it also shows that he has now reached deep into Tsunade's heart.
"teacher."
Hanekawa squeezed her hand and said, "Nawaki definitely doesn't want to see you so sad because of him."
"You are such a disrespectful little brat!"
Tsunade stared at his hand for two seconds and suddenly glared at him.
"what happened?"
Hanekawa looked into her beautiful eyes and asked casually.
"Did you call Rope Tree?"
Tsunade said unhappily, "You should call me uncle!"
"...?"
Hanekawa was stunned.
What the hell is going on? Why did the uncle show up?
Nawaki is Tsunade's younger brother and he is Tsunade's student.
According to seniority, you should indeed call him uncle.
But that won’t work!
Hanekawa refused to change his name, so how could he still be a traitor after that?
He wants to be Shengshu's brother-in-law!
We can't just talk about our own affairs from now on, right? I call you uncle and you call me brother-in-law?
"Teacher, please continue."
Hanekawa used the method of changing the subject again, "I want to know about your experience in the Ninja School."
The question of this title must not be discussed any further.
After all, he was the one who suffered the loss.
"Ninja school?"
Tsunade's face showed a look of reminiscence.
As for Nawaki, she didn't want to mention him much anyway, so she didn't argue with Hanekawa about the address.
"Don't move your hands!"
As Tsunade chatted, she realized that Hanekawa was not being honest.
It would have been fine if he just held her hand, but he also secretly touched the back of her hand and the palm of her hand.
Hanekawa thought to himself that this was not good.
But soon he was stunned again.
Because Tsunade didn't loosen her grip, instead she held him tighter.
The only downside was that he couldn't move anymore.
Hanekawa could only lean against her quietly and listen to her stories.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound gradually stopped and both of them fell asleep due to exhaustion.
……
Somewhere on an island.
Even though the headquarters of Konohagakure and Sand Village were destroyed by the Three-Tails, overall, everyone's mood was positive.
After all, they won.
But the headquarters of the Hidden Mist Village is completely different.
When the body of the Third Mizukage was brought back, there was shock and disbelief on the faces of every ninja in the Hidden Mist Village.
In the main tent, the silent atmosphere was like a sudden storm, extremely depressing and violent.
Mei Terumi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
When the Hidden Mist Village sent out troops, she had imagined many scenes of meeting Hanekawa.
But he never thought that the Third Mizukage would die because of him.
How strong is Hanekawa?
Is there any chance she'll surpass him?
Various questions emerged in her mind, making Terumi Mei's mood even more complicated.
"Now how to do?"
Qing spoke up, breaking the silence.
"revenge!"
A middle-aged man couldn't help but say.
As the Mizukage, he naturally has many supporters.
He is one of them.
"The most urgent task is to select a new Mizukage."
Not far from him, a young man spoke up, "Only the Mizukage can make the decision."
Mei Terumi frowned slightly.
This young man was very close to Karujutsu Yagura.
And Karatachi Yagura is the strongest contender for the next Mizukage.
pity.
Mei Terumi also wanted to compete for the Mizukage, but she was too young and had no convincing achievements, so it was difficult for her to compete with Yagura Karatachi.
She suddenly thought of Hanekawa.
If he had such a horrific record of capturing the tailed beast alive and killing the Kage, he would have no problem becoming the Mizukage.
Could this pervert possibly become the Fourth Hokage?
Mei Terumi quickly shook her head.
The Fourth Hokage is impossible since Tsunade is there, but the Fifth Hokage is most likely in his pocket.
In comparison, it is even a question whether she can become the Fifth Mizukage.
"good."
Another jonin echoed, "In the current situation, whether to retreat or fight is up to the new Mizukage to decide."
"Should we invite Elder Yuanshi over to discuss the new Mizukage?"
Qing thought for a moment and asked.
"It takes several days for Master Yuan to come and go. There is not much time left for us now."
The young ninja retorted, "No one knows what Konoha Village will do next."
"I have an idea. We have gathered half of the Jonin of the Hidden Mist Village here, so we can definitely hold a Jonin vote."
Karuju Yagura suppressed his excitement and spoke calmly.
Although the sacrifice of the Third Mizukage made him feel sad, he couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about becoming the Fourth Mizukage.
Karatachi Yagura originally thought that he would have to wait for many years before he could become the Fourth Mizukage.
After all, the Third Mizukage is in his prime.
But who could have thought that the opportunity would come unexpectedly in the blink of an eye.
In a sense, he also had to thank Hanekawa.
"I think it's okay!"
The young ninja quickly agreed.
"Then vote."
Seeing that most people had agreed, Qing could only nod.
Half an hour later, Karatachi Yagura successfully became the Fourth Mizukage.
Most people didn't find it surprising, after all, his strength and reputation were second only to the Third Mizukage.
"We can't retreat."
Karuju Yagura said in a deep voice, "Whether it's for the sake of the Third Mizukage or the reputation of the Hidden Mist Village, we can't retreat so easily."
"Mr. Mizukage is right!"
Many people nodded immediately.
Their five thousand ninjas attacked Konoha Village with great fanfare, but they returned in disgrace after only two months, which would only make people laugh.
"But judging from the current situation, Konoha Village and Sand Village do have the upper hand."
Karuju Yagura changed the subject and said slowly, "We need to take it step by step."
Mei Terumi raised an eyebrow.
She roughly guessed what Karuju Yagura was thinking.
He had just become the Mizukage, so he had to fight even if he didn't want to.
In addition, he had extorted money from the Hidden Cloud Village before, so he couldn't run away so quickly.
The best way is to delay, the longer the better.
In fact, you can also force it.
Then transfer both the two Chūriki from the Hidden Mist Village over here.
But this practice is very dangerous.
After all, Konoha Village and Sand Village also have two human sacrifices.
One One-Tail and one Nine-Tail, their combined strength exceeds that of their Three-Tail and Six-Tail.
Moreover, Karutagi Yagura's strength is not much stronger than the Third Mizukage.
Mei Terumi sighed inwardly.
This may be the most sensible approach, but has the Hidden Mist Village fallen to this point?
"Now let's start assigning tasks."
Karuji Yagura continued.
As Mei Terumi expected, the Hidden Mist Village returned to its previous strategy, which was to rely on the sea to launch a harassment war.
……
By the afternoon, the news reached Konoha Village.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to receive it.
Even though the ANBU ninja Haru was present, he still couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Killing the enemy's Kage on the battlefield is no less effective than capturing a tailed beast alive.
And this time it’s Hanekawa again.
Not only did she capture the tailed beast alive, she also killed the Third Mizukage. The performance of this student, Tsunade, on the battlefield really stunned him.
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it carefully and realized that in recent years, it would be difficult to find another ninja who had made more contributions than him.
Although both the Konoha Sannin and the Konoha White Fang are very famous, Hanekawa is slightly better in terms of battle record.
If he wasn't so young, Sarutobi Hiruzen suspected that he would become Hokage after the Third Ninja World War.
But he can't be the one, Tsunade can.
Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his forehead.
It's really time to consider it.
And even if he didn't mention it, someone else would.
After all, every time a new Hokage takes office, many people will benefit from it and their status will be improved.
Just like after he became the Third Hokage, his old teammates such as Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane and En Mitokado all became high-ranking officials in Konoha Village.
"clear."
Sarutobi Hiruzen closed the scroll and handed it to Haru, saying, "Publicize this information."
"Yes."
Qing took the scroll and turned to leave.
After leaving the Hokage's office, she took a curious look at the scroll and immediately showed a hint of surprise.
Is it Hanekawa again?
Although she is an Anbu ninja, she also has her own ideas.
In her opinion, Tsunade and Hanekawa were people with whom she had to have a good relationship.
The Hyuga clan's residence.
Because the information was passed on by Hyuga Hizashi, he specially sent a copy to Hyuga Hiashi.
Of course, he did not mention the existence of Wood Release Ninja.
After all, if Tsunade is angered, even the Hyuga clan will find it troublesome.
Especially now that she is at the peak of her career.
"It's amazing."
Hinata Hiashi said softly.
"What's the big deal? Is there any good news?"
In front of him, a woman in a kimono asked gently.
She is none other than Hyuga Hiashi's wife.
"It's the information about the Hidden Mist Village that Hizashi sent."
Hinata Hiashi replied, "Hanekawa killed the Third Mizukage."
"Hekawa? Is he the boy who captured the Four-Tails alive before? I remember he was only in his teens."
The woman in kimono couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Ah."
Hinata Hiashi nodded and said, "He is Tsunade's student and has a bright future."
"Indeed."
The woman in kimono came to her senses and said in agreement.
Hanekawa has strength, status, and is still young. No one in the entire Konoha Village has a future that can compare to his.
"It seems we need to find a way to get closer to each other."
Hinata Hiashi said thoughtfully.
"How do I get closer?"
The woman in kimono asked curiously.
"Not sure yet."
Hinata Hiashi paused, and suddenly had an idea, "Maybe we can ask him to be our teacher when we have children."
"Eh?"
The kimono woman blushed slightly and said, "Then let's try harder."
……
The country of soup.
Jiraiya was soaking in the hot spring with a comfortable expression on his face.
And on the other side of the wall, you can hear many young ladies playing and fighting.
Bang!
A toad suddenly emerged from the hot spring.
Jiraiya looked over subconsciously and couldn't help but look serious.
This is the toad liaison of the Fukasaku Sennin.
"Did Boss Fukasaku give new instructions?"
Jiraiya asked.
"No."
The toad liaison opened his mouth and spit out a scroll, saying, "It is the contractor of the Wet Bone Forest, Lady Tsunade."
There are certain connections between the three sacred places of spiritual beasts.
The Slug Immortal is the one with the best temper.
After talking with Tsunade, it ordered its clone to rush to Myoboku Mountain.
Jiraiya raised a brow and quickly opened the scroll.
Soon his face darkened.
Someone is actually conducting a Wood Release experiment?
