Chapter 84 Thunder Shadow Village
"Is that kid out of his mind? When he said goodbye just now, he said 'Congratulations in advance on the Raikage's succession.'"
Why did he call me "Raikage"? I'm not black.
On the way back, Tsunade asked Shizune beside her, puzzled.
"Perhaps in Amegakure, 'lightning' has another meaning."
Silently replied.
At this moment, Jingyin was in a bad mood.
Before leaving, in an effort to salvage her image and reputation, Tsunade reiterated that she was not some kind of old woman and that Shizune was right, that her youthfulness was from the inside out.
As for what to do about hemophobia every month.
Tsunade's original words were: "Why do you think I brought Shizune along?"
"Hmm? What's wrong? You look down."
Tsunade noticed Shizune's strange mood and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, don't dwell on what you heard today. Leave it to us. You just need to..."
"Lady Tsunade, that's not what I was thinking about. I... I wanted to ask, am I just a tool?"
Shizune looked up, her face showing a look of utter shock.
"Well……"
Tsunade's expression was somewhat awkward.
"Of course not!"
"Lady Tsunade, you hesitated just now."
"Jingyin, don't overthink things. I will need your help in the future."
You can do many things, which demonstrates your ability and your excellence. You should never underestimate yourself.
Only waste, which has no value for use, will not be used by anyone.
Tsunade did everything she could to try and coax Shizune.
Although she made up her mind to succeed as Hokage, she didn't say she would work nine-to-five and exhaust herself with official duties.
The Kage of Kirigakure and Iwagakure have begun to relinquish power, so naturally she should do the same.
Silence is the top priority; we absolutely cannot let her quit her job.
"Lady Tsunade, Kirigakure and Iwagakure were demoted because their daimyo died unexpectedly, forcing the Kage to assume the daimyo's responsibilities. You wouldn't be thinking of...?"
No matter how eloquently Tsunade spoke, Shizune saw right through her.
Shizune wasn't stupid, and after spending so many years together, she understood Tsunade's personality all too well.
"How could this be...?"
Tsunade was embarrassed again.
Shizune took the scroll that Bai Mo had given her from Tsunade, opened it, and looked at the contents for a while.
"Lady Tsunade, this document states that delegating power is to ensure the physical and mental well-being of the Kage, the symbol of the village and its highest fighting force, so that they have enough time to train and rest, handle their personal affairs, and have no worries about the future."
"Yes, that's very well said. Although that kid has a sharp tongue, he's absolutely right about this."
Tsunade still told Bai Mo that she couldn't forget her old woman.
"What I meant was, Lady Tsunade, you're not thinking of doing absolutely nothing, are you?"
Shizune closed the scroll, staring into Tsunade's eyes, "Ensure physical and mental health, have private time, and ensure training time."
"Gambling and drinking, that's how you, Lady Tsunade, find happiness. As for training, you don't even need to do anything with the Yin Seal..."
"What are you saying, Shizune! Now that I'm prepared to succeed as Hokage, I won't be the same as before."
Tsunade interrupted Shizune, her face serious and earnest.
"what?"
Silent paused for a moment.
Has Lady Tsunade truly reformed?
"Drinking is for training one's ability to drink in social situations; gambling is for the village's funds, sacrificing one's own interests for the greater good."
"..."
So the only difference is in the way they say it.
The moment the silence fell, it felt like Konoha's future was bleak.
Orochimaru said that Tsunade could make the wind in Konoha turn, and it really did turn, but it's hard to say whether it blows forward or backward.
Hokage Building.
"Tsunade, you actually came back on your own initiative? What a coincidence, Jiraiya just took Naruto out of the village to look for you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tsunade as she walked in, somewhat surprised.
"Tch, I came back a long time ago. I didn't show up because I saw there was no danger in the village."
Tsunade walked to the sofa and plopped down. "As for Jiraiya, use your crystal ball to check if he's in the women's bathhouse near the village."
"...Found it."
Hiruzen Sarutobi manipulated the images through his telescope technique and, sure enough, spotted two familiar figures outside a women's bathhouse he had marked.
A leopard can't change its spots.
Tsunade pursed her lips.
It's unclear whether this statement was directed at Jiraiya or also included Hiruzen Sarutobi in the insult.
After all, the fact that Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to locate the nearby women's bathhouse so quickly indicates that these scenes were his "frequently viewed channels".
"Tsunade, now that you're back, there's something I need to tell you. I hope you can..."
"I took it."
"Uh, huh?"
"I came back to be the Fifth Hokage, otherwise why would I come back? To catch up with you old Silver Demons?"
Tsunade stood up, walked to the desk, and slapped her hand, causing the documents on the desk to shake.
"……well."
Hiruzen Sarutobi held back for a while before finally uttering two "good" words.
After Tsunade appeared, he quickly thought about how to persuade her to succeed as Hokage, coming up with a whole host of reasons.
Before she could even say a word, Tsunade agreed.
It felt like he had spent a month conserving his energy, money, and time, ready to visit a brothel, only to find that the local crackdown on prostitution had shut down all the shops.
I feel utterly powerless.
night.
Tsunade returned to her residence.
"Lady Tsunade, it seems you're not prepared to tell anyone else about those things?"
Shizune knelt on the ground and poured Tsunade a steaming cup of wine.
"That person looks a lot like my second grandfather, but I'm not sure if he's right or not."
Tsunade took a sip of sake, her face slightly flushed from the alcohol as she spoke.
Tsunade was greatly influenced by both of her grandfathers.
I learned the Will of Fire, emotion, and gambling from Hashirama Senju, and flexibility and rationality from Tobirama Senju.
Of all the Hokage, only the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, had the conditions for change.
In the original work, after Tsunade stepped down, she reminded the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi, not to dwell on the old rules all the time, but to learn to change.
"I see."
Silent felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she shouldn't have listened to it in the first place.
Knowing too much only adds to your troubles.
A while later, Tsunade got drunk and fell asleep. As usual, Shizune took care of Tsunade and led her into the bedroom, covering her with a blanket.
She habitually made a makeshift bed on the floor, lay down, turned off the light, and went to sleep.
"Well……"
"Let's see if you still call me an old woman..."
"How come someone saw the old woman's body react...?"
"Um……"
"Orochimaru, Jiraiya, I wish you a long and happy marriage..."
"?"
Shizune lay on the floor, listening to Tsunade's mutterings from the bed beside her, and felt a shock to her heart.
What a moral depravity!
What exactly did Lady Tsunade dream about?
