Chapter 668: Tsunade's Hesitation!
Chapter 668: Tsunade's Hesitation!
"I refuse!"
Tsunade's eyes calmed.
Yes, she did want to see Choushi, but that didn't mean she would ally with him.
Especially since she knew that agreeing would likely lead to a confrontation with Konoha.
"Senior Tsunade, are you refusing because of Konoha?"
"Senju Shusui established the Leaf Village to keep our clan and children away from war!"
"But now, Konoha is constantly in the midst of battle, even sending kids who haven't graduated to the battlefield. What's the difference from the Warring States Period?"
"For a place as rotten and corrupted as this, is it still worth your dedication?"
Tong Ping directly asked the life-or-death question.
It was for the peace and well-being of the clan and children that Senju Shusui established the Leaf Village.
But now?
Not mentioning the small-scale battles, there have been three Great Ninja Wars, each with heavy casualties, no weaker than the Warring States Period.
Currently, they are at the brink of the fourth war.
For a place like this, it's no longer worth her dedication.
"..."
Tsunade fell silent.
Because she knew too that her great-grandfather's ideal had failed.
And for this, the entire Senju Clan had been sacrificed.
This was also why she left Konoha and wandered, as a form of self-punishment.
"My ideal is for everyone in the Ninja World to live happily and peacefully, not constantly in the midst of war!"
"For this, some rotten hierarchies and hidden snakes need to be cleared away!"
"Even if it's Konoha, if it stands in my way, I won't show mercy!"
...
Tong Ping openly expressed his ideal.
Compared to his grand vision, Senju Shusui seemed somewhat narrow-minded.
Because the other party only cared about Konoha.
Perhaps this was also why Konoha ninjas were indifferent to matters outside the village.
Tong Ping's desire for peace in the Ninja World was so he could peacefully enjoy his harem.
In a chaotic situation like the present, if he dared to relax, his bones might be scattered before he knew it.
"I'll consider it!"
Facing Tong Ping's verbal barrage, Tsunade was thoroughly annoyed and gave this response before leaving.
Impressed!
Tong Ping knew Tsunade was indeed moved.
If she wasn't, given her personality, she would have refused on the spot. It was unthinkable for her to say she'd consider it.
If he could really bring her to the Skyguard Tower, that would be fantastic news.
At the very least, it would allow Uchiha Yaya to focus on combat and administration, instead of being dragged into battles.
And there was an additional hidden benefit to recruiting Tsunade.
Attractive!
She was the Tsunade Princess, and with her status and fame, she could attract countless ninjas and ninja clans to their side.
Why was the Hokage Lineage's rule over Konoha so stable?
Wasn't it because they inherited the legacy of Senju Shusui?
They just took it too far, directly 'integrating' the Senju Clan into Konoha.
Heartless!
They had no regard for their reputation.
And they boasted about inheriting the 'Will of Fire' every day.
The problem was, they only talked and didn't act.
The Second Hokage lived by his words, using his life to protect the village's future.
But these old folks not only didn't fight on the battlefield, they even sent children to war, practically treating the Will of Fire as a joke.
Therefore, Tsunade's dislike for the F4 was completely justified. They not only took their clan's legacy, but also went against the Will of Fire.
Not killing these old folks was already an act of restraint for Konoha's sake. How could she possibly look at them favorably?
Now, Tong Ping presented Tsunade with a new choice.
The Skyguard Tower!
The same grand ideal, and he could even revive Choushi, leaving her with no reason to refuse.
As for the Will of Fire?
Please, Konoha was using it to brainwash civilians. Did she still care about it?
Elsewhere!
Just as Tsunade left the Izakaya, a member of the Anbu appeared before her.
"Tsunade-sama, the Fifth Hokage requests your presence at the Hokage Tower!"
They had come to fetch her.
And this is exactly what was intended.
When Tsunade and Tong Ping met in private, it naturally piqued curiosity about the matter they needed to discuss.
"Let's go!"
So Tsunade didn't hesitate at all and headed straight for the Hokage Tower.
Before long, she arrived at the Hokage's office.
At this moment, the person sitting behind the desk had changed from Monkey King Enma to Ziruoye, and the two Elder Advisors were also in the room, but unlike during Monkey King Enma's time, they didn't directly bring a small table and sit there to work together.
"Tsunade, what did that kid want with you?"
Upon seeing Tsunade enter, Ziruoye asked directly, without beating around the bush.
Given their relationship, there was no need for such unnecessary thoughts.
"He asked me about some medical ninjutsu and Wetbone Forest matters!"
Tsunade didn't know why she gave this answer.
Regarding the resurrection, although the other party didn't ask her to keep it a secret, she subconsciously didn't want others to know about it.
"Oh?"
Ziruoye nodded, as if without a hint of doubt.
But in reality, his heart sank.
As a devoted follower, he naturally remembered every move of his goddess.
The other party's demeanor just now clearly indicated that they were holding something back.
In other words, the matter discussed between them and Uchiha Tong Ping was not chosen to be revealed but concealed.
This was a bit dangerous.
If it were anyone else, Ziruoye wouldn't have cared.
But if it were someone capable of conquering Myoboku Mountain and was the 'Son of Destruction', how could Ziruoye not care?
'Tsunade, you must not make the wrong choice, or I can only...'
Ziruoye thought as he watched the figure leaving the office.
Even if the other party was his goddess, as long as they were an enemy of the village, no matter how painful or unbearable it was, he would still take ruthless action.
It can only be said that this is the unique characteristic of the Hokage.
It's all about putting the village first!
Once the village is threatened, whether it's family or friends, they can all be dealt with.
Soon, Ziruoye's mind was occupied with other matters.
Because the tasks piled up like mountains.
Monkey King Enma was already in prison, and some matters that only he could decide naturally accumulated.
Moreover, there was an extremely serious problem before Ziruoye.
How should the Fourth Shinobi World War be fought?
Currently, the Cloud Ninjas and Stone Ninjas had led a large army into the Land of Fire.
Although they hadn't exerted their full strength due to various reasons, it still marked the beginning of the Shinobi World War.
If the Sand Ninjas and Mist Ninjas joined in, Konoha could be in serious trouble.
Just as they were discussing how to defeat the Cloud and Stone Ninjas, they saw Nara Shikaku bringing in a 'familiar' person with a face as pale as paper.
It was the Daimyo's envoy!
"Shikaku?"
Waterdoor Gateflame asked in confusion.
"The Daimyo has another task for you!"
After Shikaku finished speaking, he stood to the side.
He was just a guide; this matter wasn't planned by him, so he made his stance clear.
The envoy of the Land of Fire's Daimyo didn't waste words; his words left everyone stunned.
"The Daimyo requests that you, Konoha, attack the Skyguard Tower!"
Yes, he directly asked them to take action against the Skyguard Tower.
If it weren't for Nara Shikaku bringing the message, they might have thought someone was impersonating him.
Konoha was already in great danger, but the envoy asked them to stab themselves in the back, clearly wishing for their demise.
"We will seriously consider the Daimyo's request!"
Tsukino Harumi first signaled Ziruoye to remain calm and then spoke respectfully.
Yes, stall for time!
It wasn't that they wouldn't do it, but they just needed to 'consider' it.
Ziruoye had almost lost his patience and wanted to lash out, but fortunately, there was an experienced Elder Advisor like Tsukino Harumi, so they didn't directly break out in a fight.
However, this envoy wasn't someone easily fooled; he revealed some shocking news that left them stunned.
