Naruto and Jiraiya and I sat across from Tsunade and Shizune, and everyone looked at each other without saying a word.

After a long silence, Tsunade finally spoke, "Today is really a rare day...... I actually met two acquaintances!"

"Tsunade, Orochimaru met with you because I wanted you to treat him......!"

"Yes, but I refused...... Don't talk about that!, do you have anything to do with me?"

"I'm not going around in circles, you already know about the three generations of Hokage, right?" said Jiraiya solemnly, "Tsunade, the village needs you...... Come back and be the fifth Hokage!"

Poof! Naruto squirted out a mouthful of hot tea!

"What!?Didn't we ask her to treat Kakashi and Sasuke?Why did you want her to be the fifth Hokage!"

"Shut up, Naruto!" I reached out and covered Naruto's mouth tightly, "Tsunade-sama, Uncle Jiraiya, and Orochimaru are also known as the so-called three ninjas!

"Don't be in a hurry to answer this question yet," Jiraiya said when he saw Tsunade's hesitation, "I came to you for one more ......!"

Tsunade frowned, crossed his hands on his chin and asked, "...... What's the matter?"

"That is, please take this child, Sakura Haruno, as an apprentice!" said Jiraiya, pointing at me!

"This little ghost?!" Tsunade was surprised and puzzled, "Why did you want me to be her master?

"In fact...... Not really!"

Tsunade lowered his eyes and whispered, "Is it another genius like the fourth Hokage, Jiraiya?"

"Little ghost, do you know? Good people always die the fastest, and a genius as amazing as the fourth Hokage died at the age of twenty...... Life and money are not the same, so it's really stupid not to cherish it......" Tsunade's gaze turned to me, and Yin said deeply, "If you worship me as a teacher, you will die a miserable death in the future...... I see, you'd better dismiss that thought!"

Tsunade actually refused...... Sure enough, should you convince Tsunade to go back and be the Hokage first? Without Naruto's mouth and desperate fighting to move her, Tsunade is really difficult to deal with. However, fortunately, Tsunade still rejected Orochimaru, which shows that Tsunade still has Konoha in her heart, but she has too many sad memories there...... However, it is really unpleasant to see that my future master is now such a person!

Jiraiya, this guy, I'm afraid he also sees this, and knows that Tsunade is not willing to return to Konoha, so it will make her feel emotional...... That's why you want me to open a breakthrough here. However, for a situation like Tsunade, I can only take drastic medicine...... I took a deep breath.

"I don't think their sacrifice is stupid...... Life is very precious, but there are more important things than life, which are worth fighting for your life to protect!"

"Tsunade-sama, I think that living a life of inaction and living an extra second is polluting the air......" I said expressionlessly, "I'd rather die young like the four Hokages than be interested in ......"

I gave Tsunade a cold look.

“…… I'm in my fifties and still running away from life!"

"Little Ghost ......" Tsunade's expression was so dark that it seemed to be dripping water, "You know...... Who are you talking to?!"

"Princess Tsunade......" I didn't care about Tsunade's momentum, "Princess Tsunade, who is one of the three ninjas, is called one of the three ninjas like the big snake that I beat to the death!"

Kerra!

The teacup in Tsunade's hand is shattered into powder!

"Little ghost, don't be too arrogant, be careful that I kill you!" The angry look on Tsunade's face was like a volcano about to erupt!

However, I have already felt the murderous aura of Orochimaru, and I don't care about this momentum at all! I said lightly: "Don't smash other people's stores, if you have anything to say, let's go out and talk about it!"

"Humph!"

An angry Tsunade, a helpless Jiraiya and a bewildered silence, Naruto who didn't know why, and I, who was cold on the surface and unhappy in my heart, walked out of the shop and came to the deserted street.

"Little ghost, I'll give you a chance to retract your words......!"

"Something to talk about...... It's my ninja. "I don't care about Tsunade's threats, and she won't really hit me anyway," Tsunade-sama, you're just because you can't accept the death of your lover and brother...... Just left Konoha!"

"You investigate my ......?!"

"After encountering Orochimaru, I've just read some information about the three ninjas...... Like the death of the fourth and third Hokage, their death was also on the battlefield, and they died to protect Konoha, do you think the death of the two Hokage is a very stupid act, isn't it also an insult to your lover and brother?!"

"Shut up...... You know what! It's because they have this stupid idea that they die on the battlefield!"

"The Broken Rope Tree was sacrificed for Konoha, it's not a stupid act!"

Boom!

Tsunade punched the ground and blasted out a two-meter-deep crater!

"You are not allowed to mention it...... Their names, little ghosts!" Tsunade looked at me with a dangerous look, "...... Or I'll kill you!"

"I've been seeing you for a long time...... I gritted my teeth and said, "If you want me to shut up, use your fists to convince me!

"Are you impatient......

Tsunade suddenly rushed over, jumped high, and raised his right foot to slash at me with a ferocious downlash!

"Physique, Heavenly Hands and Feet!"

Boom - Tsunade's feet collided with my water shield with a low, creepy sound! The first layer of water shield was broken, and it wasn't until the second layer of water shield blocked her attack!

Tsunade jumped away, and hit it with all my might! This time I used more extremely pure water to condense into a water shield, and Tsunade's punch made waves of water shields that were as stable as Mount Tai!

As if he was venting his feelings, Tsunade kept attacking my water shield, but he was never able to break the defense of Qing Shui Dun!

"Whew, huh, did you dare to provoke me with this strange water escape!" said Tsunade gasping after a round of venting.

"Tsunade-sama, even if you don't have that ninjutsu, I'll challenge you...... Just because I don't agree with your words!"

"Whew, little ghost, you're not...... Do you appreciate the Hokage's sacrifice? If you dare to do this, I will admit that you are right, and I will go back to Konoha and take the responsibility of the Hokage!"

"Tsunade, what are you talking about?!" Jiraiya interrupted Tsunade with a frown.

"Shut up, Jiraiya, it's between us!" Tsunade glared back at Jiraiya, then said to me, "What, are you scared? Or are you just a lie that you don't even believe yourself?

"Tsunade, it's not a fun joke!"

"Uncle Jiraiya, please don't interfere! this is a matter between us......" I said to Jiraiya.

I dispersed the water shield.

It feels silly to do this, but people always like to be stupid. If you can live rationally forever, such a person is not called a human being, right?

After so long, under the corrosion of time and the influence of hormones, I have gradually become accustomed to the fact that I am a daughter, but I still retain those precious temperaments of being a man in my previous life, and I will never throw them away.

"If you say it's a sacrifice, that's it. I said lightly, "I've done what you say, Tsunade-sama." ”

Everything was ready. Tsunade shouldn't kill me...... That's enough.

"You're going to die...... I'm not going to show mercy, stupid imp!" Tsunade said stiffly.

However, I could already feel her retreat. Perhaps, she was just scaring me. Therefore, in the face of serious me, she does have the feeling that it is difficult to ride a tiger. This woman, because of the tragic past of her lover and relatives dying one after another, made up such a set of logic to avoid the wound in her heart...... If this punch of hers continues, it will be a lie that she has woven with her own hands!

"Come on......" I said softly.

Then, Tsunade really punched down!

Boom -

I was knocked more than ten meters away and fell heavily to the ground! The moment I was hit, my eyes went black, and I almost thought I was about to cross again!

I struggled to get up, my whole body ached, and the bones in my left shoulder seemed to be broken, and wave after wave of stinging pain made cold sweat drip down my head! Blood came out of my mouth and dripped to the ground.

However, this is not the power of the magic technique...... The moment it hit me, Tsunade retracted.

"I won, Tsunade-sama......" Holding my injured left shoulder with my right hand, I rubbed in front of Tsunade step by step, "You lost, you promised to go back and take on the responsibility of the Hokage......"

Seeing the blood coming out of me, Tsunade's phobia flinched, and she trembled, holding her head with both hands. The blood reminded her of the scene when the broken rope tree was sacrificed, and at this moment, Tsunade's heart defense was opened.

"Broken and rope trees, it was with the dream of becoming a Hokage that he died worthless on the battlefield...... What is a Hokage, a fool would be!"

Tick. Tears ran down Tsunade's face and dripped to the ground.

"Orochimaru came to you for treatment, and the reward he gave was to resurrect the broken and rope tree...... It was this trick that he used to kill the three generations of Hokage, resurrecting the dead to fight for him. But...... You refused. Why?" I said softly to Tsunade.

"Because Orochimaru will definitely continue to take revenge on Konoha. The Konoha that the broken and rope tree loved, and sacrificed for it. That's the Konoha you love, too. ”

"You can't let Orochimaru ruin their dreams!"

I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth on my right hand and stretched it out in front of Tsunade, who stared at my hand with wide eyes and fear!

"Behold, this is because of the blood left by the sacrifice, the same blood left by the broken and rope tree......"

"The tangible things will eventually wither...... But dreams will stay. Become a Hokage...... It is the dream that they desperately want to achieve, the unfulfilled wish they left behind, please ...... Go help them make it happen. ”

Tsunade's figure gradually stopped trembling, but tears flowed down even more!

"Enough...... Don't, say it again...... "Tsunade can't stop crying!"

"Okay, I'll take care of the rest......" Jiraiya walked over and said, "Mute, please treat Sakura-chan." Here, let's be quiet for Tsunade......"

The three of us left here.

Since Tsunade's hands are not very heavy, and Shizuna's medical ninjutsu is outstanding, my wounds were quickly treated, and I was able to heal after only one night of cultivation.

It's not a big problem on my side, but it's a little weird on Naruto's side. He didn't speak all the time, and it didn't look like his character at all.

The three of us sat down together and re-ordered dinner.

"Naruto, do you have something on your mind?" I asked as I ate.

"Sakura-chan, are you telling the truth? Grandma Tsunade's lover and younger brother died chasing her dream of becoming Hokage?"

"That's right...... Why, are you scared? Your dream is to become the Hokage, right?"

Naruto was silent for a moment, and suddenly slapped the table!

"I've known for a long time that becoming a Hokage is not something that can be achieved by shouting! My dream has never been a smooth road, but a hard journey to achieve with my life!"

"Even if it's possible to die?"

"That's right," Naruto looked at me with a determined look, "It's never a fool's act to sacrifice for a dream!"

*****************************************************************************************

The next morning.

"Good morning, everyone!" Tsunade said to us refreshedly, "From today onwards, you're going to call me—"

"The Fifth Hokage-sama!"

"Huh?" "It's changed so much in one night?Could it be that I also have a talent for mouth-talking?Anyway, since Tsunade rejected the deal with Orochimaru, it means that she still loves Konoha from the bottom of her heart, right?

"What are you surprised about, Sakura-chan!" Tsunade said with a smile at me.

"Good morning, good morning! Hokage-sama!" I said, a little nervously. I just finished fighting with Tsunade yesterday afternoon, and I said so many things to stimulate her, and now I have to face her, what an embarrassment!

"What nonsense are you talking about! You should call me master!"

"Good morning, master!"

Well, did anyone tell me that I would be wearing small shoes after scolding a woman and fighting with her the next day?

"What are you doing sitting on their side, sitting next to me!" We were about to sit down for breakfast when Tsunade pulled me over from Jiraiya. Sitting next to the smiling Tsunade, I was really stressed!

"From today onwards, I will be your master, please advise!" Tsunade looked at me with a smile, obviously she was already in her fifties, and she still looked like a beautiful woman in her twenties!

"Please advise!" I said, stubbornly, "Well, master, uh...... Last night, that—"

"Yesterday's incident," Tsunade retracted his smile and looked at me earnestly, "and it's over." Thank you for bringing me to my senses, I forgot about the rest. ”

"Well, Sakura-chan, by the way, is the injury healed?"

"It's almost ready...... What about you?"

"I ...... too It's almost there. ”

Tsunade's smile was warm.

Seem...... It's a happy ending.

Suddenly, I wanted to get back to Konoha as soon as possible.

******************************************************************************************

Two days later.

Konoha Hospital.

After Tsunade finally completed the process of taking over as the new Hokage, he came to check on Sasuke and Kakashi's condition for the first time. Under Tsunade's superb medical ninjutsu, Sasuke and Kakashi soon woke up.

"Sasuke, congratulations on your recovery!" I said to Sasuke with a smile after Tsunade left.

It's just that Sasuke didn't seem to be in the joy of recovery at all, but looked at me coldly-

Sakura...... Let's duel!"

"Huh?!" I was stunned, "You're just sick!"

"It's okay...... That's it!" Sasuke looked at me and opened his sharingan!

"Sasuke...... If it was the incident before I stopped you from talking, I apologize......" I said with a smile.

"It has nothing to do with that, Sakura!" Sasuke said, grabbing my hand, "I just want to know how far apart I am from you right now!"

"And, don't think you saved me last time......" Sasuke's tone was gloomy, "I don't need you to meddle!"

Well, Sasuke has made the mistake of the middle two again. I'm not in the mood to compete with him right now, so I'm still waiting to learn ninjutsu from Tsunade...... But if I don't agree, Sasuke will definitely have an awkward mess again!

"Let's compare...... You really don't need to have a meal or a change of clothes or something, at least change your shoes first, right?"

"No...... Don't make excuses to run away!"

The door to the ward was slammed open, and Naruto barged in and shouted, "Sasuke, I heard you're awake—"

Naruto saw Sasuke holding my hand, and what he wanted to say suddenly froze.

"You-?"

"Hmph, that's right, Naruto, I want you to try it too!"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then smiled confidently, "Okay!

*****************************************************************************************

The rooftop of Konoha Hospital.

"Zez!"

The blue chakra converged in Sasuke's hand and made a loud noise like the chirping of a thousand birds!

"Chidori!"

"Do you want to use a thousand birds when you come up...... Sasuke!" I looked at Sasuke solemnly.

"No way...... Your defense, I can only think of a way to break it with a thousand birds......" The lightning in Sa's assistant shone blindly-

Assault!

Sasuke rushed towards me at high speed with Chidori!
