Three Days Later;
Tanzaku Town; Suchi Restaurant
"I knew you would be here, Tsunade."
Jiraiya walked into the bar and sat at the same table as a busty blonde woman and a black-haired girl holding a pig.
Tsunade raised her drunk face as she recognized Jiraiya.
"You fool, why did you come here? One after another, I truly have bad luck today."
Her words startled Jiraiya.
"You mean Orochimaru came to meet you earlier?"
Tsunade drank a cup of sake and said.
"What does that have to do with you?"
"You should understand what he did to the Sensei, right?"
Jiraiya's expression was quite serious as he asked.
"That old fool! Sure enough, being a Hokage is a curse. I thought that old fool would die in his bed."
Tsunade cursed before silently putting down the cup. Even though she cursed, her feelings for her sensei were complicated.
Of course, unlike Jiraiya, she wasn't too sad. Or even Jiraiya wasn't sad either. Old Man died fighting, as a hero of the Leaf.
"So, why did he come to you? To heal his hand?"
Jiraiya asked.
Tsunade yawned.
"Yeah! Looks like he lost his arms against the Old Man."
"What did he promise you, Tsunade? You are not the kind of person to help him without certain conditions."
Jiraiya asked in a serious voice.
"What does that have to do with you?"
Tsunade snapped as she shouted in his face.
Jiraiya quickly panicked and calmed down.
"Okay, let's not talk about him. I've come here to bring you back to the village."
"Why would they need me? Don't tell me you don't know my condition, Jiraiya?"
Tsunade asked.
Jiraiya paused and said.
"This is an order of the Fifth Hokage."
"Huh?"
Both Tsunade and Shizune felt stunned.
"You don't know? By now, the information about the Fifth Hokage should've already been revealed."
Jiraiya looked stunned.
Tsunade couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Shizune muttered.
"Isn't it because we were too busy running away from those creditors? And Lady Tsunade always ignores any news from Konoha."
Tsunade rolled her beautiful eyes while drinking some sake as she asked.
"So, who is this new Hokage? Kakashi?"
Since Jiraiya was here, he couldn't possibly be the new Hokage. And he also didn't want to become one.
Her eyes shrank as she asked.
"Don't tell me it's Danzo?"
Jiraiya rolled his eyes and said.
"It seems like you really don't know anything about the village. Hey, Tsunade! Don't throw any fits here. We are inside a restaurant."
While saying so, he took out Danzo's bounty paper.
When Tsunade saw the bounty paper and Danzo's name alongside his photo, she spat out the drink on Jiraiya's face.
"Jeez!"
Jiraiya had no choice but to use a tissue and clean his face.
"What kind of rank is SSS?"
"It's a new rank created specifically by our new Hokage. If anyone cooperates with Danzo, Konoha will wage a war against that individual or an organization."
"Basically telling everyone you can't cooperate with Danzo. At the same time, there is also some risk of starting a war with other villages."
"Well, at least he got guts."
Tsunade said as she started reading the bounty paper. But her expression changed as she read more.
Naruto had listed the majority of Danzo's crimes.
Even labeling him as someone who worked together with a madman who released the Nine-Tails twelve years ago.
Thus, the death of the Fourth Hokage was placed upon two people.
Danzo and Masked Man!
There were many crimes, including human experimentation and more. This was basically putting Konoha's reputation on the line.
"How did the Elders agree to this?"
Tsunade looked at Jiraiya and asked. She was pissed, but because of Jiraiya's reminder, she remained calm about this situation.
"They are dead. They were killed by Elders. Read carefully!"
Jiraiya rolled his eyes.
"Huh?"
Tsunade couldn't help but feel a shock. She continued reading, and on the very last line of all the crimes he had committed, it was about killing elders.
Yes, killing children and even threatening the previous director of Konoha Orphanage were put above the elders.
"Now, I am really curious who this person is."
Tsunade asked.
"You should know him. He is the child of Minato and Kushina."
Jiraiya answered.
"What? Wait, the Nine-Tails must've been released during his birth, right? But then, it means he is only…"
"12! That's right, but he single-handedly defeated Shikaku, saved Konoha during the previous attack, and even got Daimyo's support somehow."
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade and said.
"Daimyo prioritized him over you. Do you think that is possible?"
"No! There must be something wrong here."
Jiraiya shrugged his shoulders.
"There is no clue about him controlling the Daimyo. No Genjutsu, no threats; the Daimyo genuinely believes Naruto is better suited as a Hokage than us."
"And considering he has more perfect Sage Mode than me and has control over Kyubi's Chakra, he is basically stronger than me."
"Are you kidding me?"
Tsunade's lips twitched.
Even Shizune was stunned.
"Lord Jiraiya, you just said he is only twelve."
"Yes, but it turned out Minato and Kushina left their Chakra inside the seal. When Orochimaru attacked them during the Chunin Exam, that Chakra was released."
"His mother relied on her Chakra to pull out the Nine-Tails chakra while Minato passed down his experience and knowledge to Naruto somehow."
"More importantly, he trained his body in a very peculiar way, allowing him to bear the Chakra of the Kyubi much more easily."
Jiraiya explained.
"So, he is ordering me to return? Considering what he did to Danzo, I suppose he is serious about this."
Tsunade sighed. She didn't want to return, but if Naruto could turn Danzo into a traitor, he could certainly revoke her Konoha Ninja Status.
Although it wouldn't mean she was a Konoha Ninja, how could she accept something like this?
She was the granddaughter of the man who created this village.
"No, he is inviting you for something else. Let's talk somewhere else!"
