"Is this the result of pursuit?"

The next day, in the special ward of Konoha Hospital, Tsunade, who had led the ANBU back to the village, rushed here immediately. What she saw was Naruto who had lost an arm and was lying unconscious on the hospital bed with a look on his face.

It's definitely not pretty.

Let's not talk about the failure of the pursuit mission. During the pursuit, not only did the tailed beasts go berserk, but Naruto, as a jinchuriki, suffered such severe trauma... Tsunade couldn't help but sigh in helplessness or disappointment.

Tianzang in the ward was naturally full of guilt. At this time, no matter what excuse he used, it was difficult to cover up his dereliction of duty.

For example, putting the blame on the enemy being too strong would be too disrespectful of the Jonin's responsibility.

"Well, you can't say that. After all, most of this batch of ANBU are new recruits without years of experience. After two years, maybe the situation will be much better."

It was Jiraiya who came to Tenzo's rescue.

His abdomen and arms were wrapped with bandages at this time, and his face looked a little pale. It was obvious that he had experienced a fierce battle not long ago.

The opponent in the fierce battle was naturally Naruto who was in a berserk state.

The power of the Nine-Tails in the Five-Tails state, combined with the Sannin who arrived in time, and Tenzo's Wood Release Ninjutsu, were able to barely suppress it.

Fortunately, Naruto's Bagua Sealing Technique is relatively complete. Even if his emotions explode out of control, reaching the level of the Five-Tails, it is almost Naruto's limit.

If this were not the case, things might turn out to be the same as they did fourteen years ago. Only with heavy losses could the Kyuubi be suppressed again.

"I just said casually. It's a blessing that the worst outcome didn't happen."

Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya.

She knew the power of the Kyuubi the most as the Hokage.

During her childhood, she basically grew up under the care of her grandmother Mito Uzumaki, the first person in Konoha, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

I have also heard a lot of secrets about the Kyuubi.

As the only tailed beast living in Konoha among the nine tailed beasts, it is also the most powerful existence among the tailed beasts. According to the grandmother's report, the power of the nine tails has always been synonymous with natural disasters.

Ordinary sealing techniques cannot suppress the Nine-Tails at all. Similarly, the conditions for the Jinchuriki as a sealing container are also extremely harsh.

If something really happened to Naruto, then Konoha would not be able to find another Uzumaki tribesman who could accommodate the Kyuubi.

After all, Naruto is only fourteen years old and has not left any heirs to inherit the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan. If he loses this only Uzumaki descendant, Konoha is likely to lose control of the Kyuubi.

This is very fatal to Konoha.

Considering that the little girl named Hinata from the Hyuga clan seems to be interested in Naruto... maybe we can consider it in the future.

But the identity of the Zong family will be a huge trouble.

"Yes, but it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. I arrived at the battlefield later. According to Tenzo, when Naruto was in a rampage state, he seemed to have killed the psychic beast from Chiba Shiraishi who could use thunder escape. It can be regarded as a blessing.

Let’s kill one of the opponent’s generals.”

Jiraiya said with a smile.

All kinds of good news that is not good for Konoha have continued to come out these days, and now some of the gloom above has finally been lifted.

That Thunderbolt Ninja beast, which resembles a cub, is so powerful that even an elite Jōnin like Tenzou cannot handle it alone. Being able to damage it is undoubtedly an inspiring figure for Konoha.

Good news.

It's a bit sad to say that. The ninja beast that Naruto accidentally killed was Konoha's highest level of combat power in destroying the Demon Kingdom.

"But now the medical department has almost stopped functioning, and with the loss of a vice president... it is not that simple to choose a successor."

Tsunade was troubled by this.

If purely based on medical ability, the Shizune she brought out is not inferior to Asami Masumi, and her medical ability is definitely qualified.

However, the position of vice president not only requires excellent medical ability, but also qualifications and management are equally important.

Unlike Shizune, a medical jounin who has been "gold-plated" all the way, Asami Masumi is a real medical jounin who has risen to a high position step by step.

From a medical ninja at the lowest level, he then joined the pharmacy department, then joined the drug development team as team leader, deputy director of the pharmacy department, and then continued to become a full-time employee... and finally won the position of deputy director of Konoha. Over the past twenty years, the other party has

The accumulated management experience and reputation are far beyond the reach of juniors like Shizune.

She has already endured a lot of pressure by letting Shizune manage the pharmacy department... If Shizune is allowed to continue to be promoted in the medical department, it will be impossible for her to do so within a few years.

As a result of the forced promotion, many staff in the medical department may be dissatisfied with her as the Hokage, such as bad rumors about not distinguishing between public and private matters.

In this way, it will not be so easy to hold the medical department in your hands.

Jiraiya said he was helpless.

There are many Jonin in the village who can use medical ninjutsu, but they are either not capable or have insufficient qualifications and management capabilities. It is very difficult to find someone who can compete with Asami Masumi in such a large medical department.

difficulty.

"Forget it, it's useless to talk to you, an old pervert. Did you bring back Naruto's broken arm?"

Tsunade asked the real question.

Losing an arm will greatly reduce the strength of a ninja.

Especially for a ninja like Naruto who cannot form seals with one hand, if he permanently loses an arm, the reduction in strength will be visible to the naked eye.

"I've brought it back. Don't worry about this. I heard from Boss Fukasaku that before he died, the Great Toad Sage placed the Sage's Talisman from Mt. Myoboku in Naruto's body. If there is a life crisis, the Sage's Talisman will

It takes effect automatically."

Jiraiya said this.

"Sage's Talisman? Is that thing inside Naruto's body?"

Tsunade took a breath and looked slightly shocked.

She had seen this secret treasure that could bring the dead back to life with her own eyes.

"After all, he is the son of the prophecy. The Great Toad Immortal must have placed all his hopes on him. That thing can only be activated after making a contract with Miaomu Mountain. Even if outsiders get it, they cannot use it."

Jiraiya sighed, in his opinion, this was the only possibility.

"in addition……"

Having said this, Jiraiya hesitated.

"What else?"

"I want to ask you something, related to the Perfect Jinchuuriki."

"Perfect Jinchuuriki?"

Tsunade was stunned.

"Yes, I heard that Yagura, the fourth generation Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, can perfectly control the power of tailed beasts. If I can get the perfect Jinchuuriki training method from him, then I can solve Naru once and for all.

There is a problem of the Nine-Tails going berserk in the human body."

Tsunade made this suggestion.

"I will consider it, but it is best not to have too high expectations for this kind of thing."

The secret of the perfect Jinchuuriki training method is so amazing that the country or village that masters this technology will never reveal anything to outsiders.

The power of the tailed beast is already amazing. If you can perfectly control the power of the tailed beast, it will be a disguised form of causing trouble for your own people.

The Fourth Mizukage didn't look like a philanthropic ninja.

Afterwards, after a few words of care, Tsunade glanced at the unconscious Naruto's face. Considering that the other person still needed to rest at this time, the operation to connect the broken arm was better to wait until he woke up, and then took Tenzo with him.

Left the ward.

She still has some questions that need to be answered by Tianzang.

In the corridor, the only sound was the walking of her and Tian Zang.

"Are you sure? Is the Haruno family a spy?"

When Tsunade left the ward, her face became extremely gloomy, as if she was dripping water, and there was a manic and restless aura all over her body.

While Tenzo was frightened by this, he had no choice but to tell the truth: "Yes, the spy identities of Haruno and his wife are basically confirmed. But Sakura... Haruno Sakura, she should not be a spy. She left Konoha because she was

The kind that is held hostage by parents is not a spontaneous act."

Tianzang also felt extremely sorry for this.

Even though I am used to betrayal and conspiracy, when I think about the student I have been with for nearly a year, his parents are actually spies of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and I have also fallen into the hands of the Kingdom of Ghosts at this time. It is not difficult to guess the subsequent results.

It is true that everyone in Konoha Village has a very deep bond with the village.

But the family ties that are thicker than water are not inferior to this kind of bond, and because of blood ties, the bonds between the village and the villagers are often not comparable to the blood ties of family ties.

If the Haruno couple are firmly on the side of the Kingdom of Demons, even if Sakura's heart is towards Konoha, in the end she will have to consider her parents' position and turn to the embrace of the Kingdom of Demons.

Rather, the possibility is very high.

"I see."

From the tone, there was no hint of Tsunade's happiness or anger, she just nodded lightly.

However, Tenzo knew that Tsunade must be quite angry at this moment.

For example, he lost an outstanding and trustworthy subordinate, and Tsunade also suffered a loss. What she lost was a student with a great future.
To be continued...
