Chapter 148 Problem Solved

"The scenery here is really rare! I didn't expect that the place where you live is so spectacular!"

As soon as Giyuu and Tsunade appeared in the skull of the snake, they felt a surge of sound waves like the hot wind in midsummer, pressing their clothes tightly against their skin.

Kyojuro was standing behind the sharp teeth of the snake's mouth with his back to the two of them, taking advantage of the moonlight to look around.

Although it was already night in the country of whirlpools further east, the other party's dazzling hair, like a blazing flame, showed its existence that could not be ignored.

Just as the slug was about to remind that there was a guest, Kyoju turned back as if he had sensed something. Two lantern-like eyes flickered in the dim space, like stars burning in the boundless universe.

"Dr. Tsunade, we haven't seen each other for three years and seven months!"

Kyojuro strode to the two of them with a whirring sound.

The slug used mucus to activate the luminous substance inside the skull of the snake, slightly illuminating the surrounding environment.

Facing the "light", Kyojuro's eyes stayed on Tsunade's young face, grinning lively, but without any offense.

"I am really happy to see that you look much better than before! No matter when a person unties his own knot, it is a happy thing!"

Words like "I am really happy from the bottom of my heart" are inevitably a bit flattering when spoken by others.

But Kyojuro's seemingly innate generosity and frankness made Tsunade feel like she was praised by her elders.

What's more, Kyojuro's praise and sighs were different from Sasuke's praise for Shizune. The real concern contained in them made Tsunade feel like she was back to her childhood surrounded by her family.

When she grew up, she rarely heard this kind of praise without any purpose.

[As expected of Kyojuro. ]

Giyuu saw the subtle changes in Tsunade's expression, and it was indeed much better than his previous praise of Tsunade.

And he noticed that when Hustle Slug met Tsunade, he only said "long time no see", but Kyojuro said the specific time when they did not meet, so that even he could feel the subtle difference between the two.

[I learned something new again. ]

Giyuu planned to write this down as soon as he got home, maybe he could use it in the future.

He could even draw inferences from one example and calculate the time accurately to the hour, minute or even second, and the effect might be even better.

On the other side, Kyojuro was still chatting with Tsunade and talking about a past event.

"About a year ago, one of my clones went to the Iron Country, where I heard about you treating the great swordsman Mr. Mifune!

"I wanted to wait a little longer and meet you and Doctor Shizune, but the clone's chakra is limited after all, so I had to give up in the end!

"Since then, although I have heard a lot about you, I am always far away! I never thought that we would meet here today, and I really have to thank Hustle Slug!"

"It's just a coincidence." Hustle Slug smiled shyly.

"Iron Country?" Tsunade raised her eyebrows after hearing Kyojuro's words, and suddenly remembered what happened at that time.

"Wait a minute, that basket of rare medicinal materials that someone left at the door of the castle tower for Mifune's treatment, could it be..."

"I heard that the great swordsman is also a righteous hero, and I am just doing my best. Anyway, it's just looking for something, it's not a big deal for me!"

Although Kyojuro did not deny it, he passed by what he did.

[But the medicinal materials can only be obtained from the deep mountains of the neighboring country. ]

Tsunade was speechless for a while, but she also had a rough estimate of Kyojuro's speed.

Then, Kyojuro walked inside and came to the small table and stool woven with wooden rattan in the middle of the snake skull.

The table and stool were specially made by Kocho Shinobu for lunch when she came here at noon, and were kept by the living slug.

"Doctor Tsunade, Giyu, let's sit down and talk! Please."

After the three of them sat down, Tsunade immediately felt that the pendant on her chest seemed to vibrate slightly.

But when she looked down, the pendant didn't move at all, as if nothing had happened.

[Is it an illusion? 】

"So, Dr. Tsunade..."

When Kyojuro was about to talk about business, the live slug next to him suddenly corrected him: "Kyojuro, Tsunade-sama will be the new Hokage in a few days."

Then she emphasized: "She also said that she would often ask me to go out to help."

"Is that so? It's another thing worth celebrating! It seems that my name should also be changed!"

Kyojuro's eyebrows relaxed, and then looked at Giyuu next to him: "So, we are all here today, what exactly are we going to discuss?"

"The thing is..."

Giyuu said the general idea in two sentences, and then expressed his thoughts without hiding: "Although you have always had a high opinion of her, she is now a Hokage, which is equivalent to doing the work of both the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo at the same time.

"As the shadow of a village, no matter what she does, she has a very narrow position. If you tell her the specific reason, it may lead to some unpredictable consequences.

"But if I don't tell her, I can only use other means to rob her. Although I will definitely succeed, it will affect the situation of my people in the village to some extent, so I can't do that."

Tsunade: "..."

To be honest, Kyojuro and Giyuu have one thing in common, which is "sincerity".

But the effects of these two kinds of sincerity on others are completely different.

She glanced sideways at Giyuu, [Does he think that he is invincible after defeating Orochimaru and the second grandfather who may not even be half as good as he was in his heyday? 】

This is not a random guess.

When Tsunade thought about it, even if Orochimaru used an elite Jonin like Kakashi as materials to resurrect the Second Hokage, he would only be able to achieve half of this level at most.

Moreover, since Purgatory Anjuro is also here, could Orochimaru's death be the result of the two of them joining forces?

"Yiyong's worries are not unreasonable."

Anjuro's words made Tsunade's heart sink slightly. She wasn't supposed to feel this way.

For some reason, not being trusted by Anjuro actually gave her a slight sense of frustration, just like when she and Senju Hashirama secretly went to the casino when they were young, only to see Senju Tobirama's disappointed and speechless expression when they came home. Same.

However, this frustration disappeared with Anjuro's next words.

"But I also believe that Tsunade-sama is definitely not like Danzo Orochimaru!

"Just like the medical ninja system of the five major countries, it was successfully established with her help and guidance to overcome each other's sectarian differences; those basic medical ninjutsu were also developed because of the travels of Tsunade-sama and Dr. Shizune over the years. It slowly spread to the surrounding small countries, allowing countless people to survive who should have died!"

Anjuro stared at Tsunade, his eyes seemed to be filled with infinite hope.

"So, judging from what Tsunade-sama has always done, the meaning of a precious and dazzling thing like life in the eyes of Tsunade-sama is very different from that of most Kage! At least, this about human experiments We can tell her the seriousness of the problem without reservation, and I believe she will not refuse to help.”

"Human experiments?"

Thinking of all the experimental records of Orochimaru and the roots that Giyuu had, Tsunade immediately understood something: "That bastard Orochimaru, didn't he do anything he shouldn't have done in the Kingdom of Water?"

"You guessed it right!"

Anjuro nodded and introduced: "According to records, Orochimaru has four bases in the Kingdom of Water, one large, three small, and four. Over the years, he has secretly arrested no less than 700 men, women, and children in the Kingdom of Water, more than half of them. Already died in his experiment!

"Giyu is asking you for the information and data of Nebe and Orochimaru in order to save those victims who are still alive and reverse the experiments they suffered."

"Hmph, you're meddling in other people's business again. It's really your style..."

[Bringing an Uchiha with him is simply unbelievable. This kind of contagious power... No wonder the old man felt so sorry when he left Konoha. 】

Tsunade frowned and pondered for a while: "What kind of experiments are you talking about?"

"A small number are transplants of organs from different species, but this is one category where we have solutions and the victims are recovering."

"The most difficult thing at the moment is the transplantation of curse seals, wood escape cells and various blood inheritance limits. In order to keep it secret, Orochimaru did not leave a copy of the records in the base -"

"That's my problem."

Yiyong bowed his head in shame and interrupted: “I didn’t expect this at the time.

"Because I was worried that his remaining cells might have the ability to be resurrected, I burned him to ashes without having a chance to examine his body. He probably hid the data in his body, or someone In the body of the psychic snake clan."

[Resurrection by remaining cells? 】

Tsunade glanced at Giyuu a little strangely, [Are you overestimating that bastard too? 】

Strange to say.

On the one hand, this kid is so gentle that he is willing to risk the life and death of some strangers together with Anjuro.

But on the other hand, he showed no mercy to the enemies he recognized. Whether it was those thunder ninjas or Orochimaru, Giyuu acted very ruthlessly.

"How can I blame you?!"

Anjuro patted Giyong on the shoulder and comforted him: "No one can think so carefully about something like this! There is absolutely no need to blame yourself for such a thing! You have done your best!"

"I see."

Tsunade did not express her thoughts, but recalled: "After Orochimaru defected, I went back to the village once because of similar things.

"But among so many experimental subjects who were implanted with the curse seal, only Anko Mitarashi survived. And her survival did not depend on me, but on her own tolerance to the curse seal.

"As for the Wood Escape Experiment, it is completely uncontrollable.

"Let me put it simply, even I can't do things like reversing the Wood Release and Curse Seal experiments; unless Orochimaru himself is still alive and willing to cooperate with me, there may be a slight possibility.

"If I hand something over to you, not only will it be of no use, but there's also the risk of it being leaked and taken away."

Seeing that Giyuu seemed to want to refute, Tsunade explained first: "I know that you defeated Orochimaru and you think you are very strong.

"But your true form is not in the Kingdom of Water now. If I give the experimental records to Anjuro, but those guys in Kirigakure who have no taboos know about it, Anjuro will be put in danger.

"Based on my personal understanding of Goju Yagura, if he knew about this kind of thing, he would never let go of this opportunity."

As she spoke, she frowned and looked at Kyojuro, not without admonition: "I also know that you have learned the Diamond Seal. But Yagura is the perfect Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails. Once he lets go completely, he is definitely not comparable to a guy like Orochimaru who likes to take shortcuts..."

"Kumi Yagura has been killed by Orochimaru." Giyu interrupted.

In fact, because Yagura was controlled from beginning to end to play a play, he couldn't even use the tailed beast transformation.

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, and then her expression became more serious than ever: "What did you say?"

[Are you kidding? 】

The last time the Third Kazekage was killed, the balance of the countries was suddenly broken, and it immediately turned into a ninja world war.

Although Tsunade has always known that Orochimaru does things as he pleases, she didn't expect him to be so crazy.

"When did this happen?"

"Just before I dealt with Orochimaru."

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?!"

Giyuu said confidently: "No one asked me."

"You guy..." Tsunade was so angry that her teeth itched. She didn't expect that she would take over Konoha under such circumstances.

The death of the Kage and Jinchūriki of a village will affect the balance of the five major countries again-

Hey, wait a minute.

The Land of Water lost a Kage and a Jinchūriki.

The Land of Earth lost a Jinchūriki because of the death and injury of thousands of people of Uchiha Shisui.

The Land of Lightning has few ninjas. Thirty jonins died at the hands of Uchiha Giyuu, and the cutting-edge forces also suffered serious losses.

As for the Land of Wind, it is poor and weak, and can't even take on a few decent tasks. It is continuing to move forward on a downhill road.

Although Konoha has dozens of Anbu who have lost their combat effectiveness, they can recover in one or two months.

In this way, all countries have suffered losses to varying degrees, and Konoha is the one with the least losses.

Once she figured this out, Tsunade was not so panicked.

Tsunade asked, "Who else did you tell about Yagura's death?"

Giyuu thought for a moment and replied, "You are the only one among the ninjas of the five major countries."

Pein and the "Angel" of the Rain Country are not included in this scope.

"You'd better not tell anyone else about this matter, lest some ambitious person decides to take advantage of the situation... I don't want to be so busy just after taking this position."

Tsunade pondered for a while, "Although I don't know how Orochimaru did it, since the biggest threat to you in the Water Country is gone, I am not so worried about the data being stolen."

"That's really the best."

Kyojuro stood up and bowed to Tsunade very solemnly: "On behalf of all the victims in the beds and incubators, thank you for your generosity! I will definitely use my life to protect the safety of these records!"

Tsunade waved her hand: "Considering that Orochimaru's experiments are mostly supported by Danzo, I can only symbolically compensate them.

"But I think you still don't have any hope. I know you helped at Konoha Hospital, but with your limited knowledge of medical ninjutsu, it is nothing but a pipe dream to want to reverse the experiment of curse seal and wood escape."

"Our researchers have dealt with more difficult things before, and I believe that good news will come soon."

Kyojuro is full of confidence in Kocho Shinobu who almost "cured" Muzan, "However, your suggestion is also very pertinent, and we will also be prepared for failure! But in any case, this is much better than doing nothing, don't you think?"

Considering that the last time they met, Kyojuro was in Kawanokuni and used his body to absorb the toxin of black pepper fish, Tsunade knew that it was useless to persuade him, so she had to agree: "Then let's do it. After I go back, I will immediately ask someone to collect the materials and bring them in as soon as possible."

Then she paused, "Okay, the experimental data is over, so what about the disposal rights of the Root Ninjas? Who are they specifically? "

Although she knew that Kyojuro and Giyuu were unlikely to do anything shady, she still planned to ask clearly.

Kyojuro looked at Giyuu, after all, he knew almost nothing about the Root.

"It's mainly Aburame Tone and Aburame Ryoma." Giyuu gave the answer.

"Aburame Tone's hand that you cut off was reattached, and he is now receiving treatment in the hospital. As for Aburame Ryoma, he is still in the Uchiha clan. But if the Uchiha is willing to accept the agreement, the group of Root captives will also be transferred back to the village."

Tsunade tapped her fingers on the wooden rattan table, "However, I heard that these two people are not responsible for the Root experiment, and the information they know is very limited. Apart from the ability to control insects, they have nothing in common... So, you are planning to take advantage of the Aburame clan's secret technique of controlling insects?"

Thinking of this, she shook her head without hesitation.

"If that's the case, I can't agree. I can't just sell out the foundation of a family in the village, no matter what the reason is. ”

The reason why the ninja clans all joined the ninja village was to prevent others from snooping on such secrets.

Yiyong raised his eyebrows: "But didn't Konoha plan to sell out the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan before..."

After returning from this incident, he had heard about it from his family.

"That was because the old man was confused. When I knew about it, it had already happened!"

From the expression on Tsunade's face, she was obviously very disgusted with this matter, "But now I am the Hokage of Konoha. "

Giyuu corrected again: "It's still a few days before I take office."

"You little brat--"

"Please be patient! Things are not that serious!"

Kyojuro saw that the two seemed to be arguing, and quickly interrupted: "Tsunade-sama, what we need is not the secret technique of controlling parasites, but the technology of controlling insects such as bees, moths and mosquitoes to pollinate plants. This should not involve the foundation of the Aburame clan!"

"Pollination?" Tsunade frowned slightly and immediately understood: "Do you want to cultivate crops?"

In this world where various technologies are booming, only agriculture is still in the Middle Ages. Anything related to food can be said to be the most sensitive topic.

You know, in the vast ninja world, only the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass can achieve self-sufficiency in food, and occasionally export to other countries.

In most other areas, there are no suitable planting conditions, and hunger is also the most common cause of death.

"There are similar plans."

Kyojuro nodded: "But I have promised others not to tell others about the more specific details, please forgive me!"

"There are too many things you two want to do, including food and reversing Orochimaru's experiment."

Tsunade's eyes moved back and forth between Giyuu and Kyojuro: "I have made it clear. I don't want to agree to this because what you are going to do will touch the sensitive areas of many countries.

"If you have the power of the first generation Hokage or Uchiha Madara, no one can stop you from doing these things.

"But at your current age, if you are involved in the struggle between countries, you may be crushed to pieces if you are not careful."

She has not officially taken the position of Hokage yet, and she is not saying this from the standpoint of Hokage.

To be honest, over the years, even Jiraiya, who has the most sympathy among the three, has not done what these two children want to do.

From the perspective of a ninja, let them continue to grow, and when they reach their peak in their twenties, I am afraid no one can stop them from doing anything.

But they chose this time.

"We are not two people, nor three people, but many people who have found that they have the ability and are willing to change the world!"

Kyojuro responded to Tsunade's concerns with great determination, "When we have achieved certain results, more people will join us!"

"It seems that you don't listen to what I say at all."

Tsunade waved her hand and looked at Giyuu: "It is impossible to give you the 'disposal rights' of Aburame Ryoma and Aburame Torene."

Just when Giyuu thought that the situation would turn into "Kohiko Shinobu decided to go to Konoha in person", Tsunade changed the subject: "But I can lend them to you for a period of time on the grounds of secondment. How long do you estimate it will take?"

"Three years!" Kyojuro said that it was twice the time that Kocho Shinobu estimated to cultivate suitable crops.

And by that time, the secrets of the Rain Country will no longer be a secret.

"That's it. Even if they stay in Konoha, they will be imprisoned and interrogated for about one or two years."

Tsunade glanced at Manabu's skull, "However, those two people didn't sign a spiritual contract with the living slug, so they can't come here."

Giyuu replied: "When I leave Konoha, I will take them with me."

[It seems that we are not in the Land of Water...]

The last problem was also solved peacefully. Kyojuro thanked Tsunade again and talked a lot about her and Shizune's experiences during the journey.

After about ten minutes, Tsunade stood up and said, "It's about time. I have to go back. The fifth Hokage disappeared before he took office. I don't want to give those old guys this kind of handle."

"Then, Tsunade-sama, we'll see each other another day!"

When they were about to part, Kyojuro suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I promised Sasuke to go back on the 57th anniversary of the founding of Konoha Village! Princess Fengyun's movie happened to be released that day. Can we take Naruto with us?"

This time, when it came to Konoha's most important tailed beasts and Jinchūriki, Tsunade's answer was not so straightforward.

Seeing that Tsunade seemed a little entangled, Kyojuro immediately apologized: "Sorry, if you have any concerns, please treat me as..."

"Okay."

Tsunade finally nodded, "But you have to bring one of Naruto's elders with you."

"Are you talking about the third Hokage?!" Considering Naruto's identity, Kyojuro didn't find it strange.

"No, I want a younger generation." Tsunade clenched her fists, as if she remembered something unpleasant, "Of course, he's also a stinky old man with no sense of shame."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
