"Hurry up, don't be lazy! This month's share must end before the end of the month! ”

Inside a large building similar to a workshop on Mt. Myoki, a large number of toads came in and out, giving Shiraishi the appearance that he was busy with something.

And from the bodies of the toads in and out, Shiraishi saw that they were sweating like rain, and many toads showed tiredness on their faces, which made Shiraishi realize that the busy things of this group of toads were not simple.

This is also the reason why Shiraishi did not immediately withdraw from Myoki Mountain when he surveyed the general topography of Myoki Mountain.

Under his hard work, he has almost recorded the terrain of Miaomu Mountain, as well as the deployment of troops and other things in his mind, and after waiting to go back, he immediately convened a high-level meeting to discuss strategies.

However, in order to further understand the situation of Mt. Myoki, after doing all this work, Shiraishi decided to stay for the time being to see if there was anything he had missed in Mt. Myoki.

This workshop is one of them.

It gives Shiraishi a feeling that it is not simple.

What are these toads doing in there?

Seeing how busy they were, coupled with the strange fluctuations coming from the workshop, made Shiraishi even more curious.

However, for the sake of safety, Bai Shi did not immediately sneak in to see what was going on, but waited patiently outside, and when these toads began to rest and relax their vigilance, he was ready to go in to see what was going on, so as not to be noticed by this group of toads.

Time passed little by little, from afternoon to evening, and then to night, this group of toads still worked happily in the workshop.

Their enthusiasm for their work is, in Shiraishi's opinion, more competent than many humans.

It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that the toads in the workshop stopped what they were doing, began to leave in twos and threes, and returned to their quarters.

Finally, several human-sized toads patrolled around the workshop, closing the door of the workshop by the way.

Although their patrol attitude seemed serious, Shiraishi could still tell some laziness in their expressions.

Thinking about it, the work in the workshop has consumed their energy, and this is the core area of Miaomu Mountain, so ordinary people don't want to sneak in, and it is likely that they will be caught by the Iwasuki toad the moment they enter Miaomu Mountain.

If it has ulterior motives, it may be swallowed directly by the Iwasuki toad and become a nutrient in its body.

Shiraishi didn't pay attention to the laziness on the faces of these toads, and took action on his own.

After a whole day of surveying the terrain of Myoki Mountain, even he felt a little tired.

When you're done here, I'll find a place to rest for the night and wait until tomorrow to continue observing.

For example, Miaomu Mountain's immortal arts, he is still very curious.

The essence of Miaomu Mountain's immortal art can't be found from Zilaiye, and it needs to rely on the two immortals to perform immortal arts, and in essence, it is only a semi-finished product, without much reference value.

But the headquarters of Miaomu Mountain is different, and the original essence of Miaomu Mountain immortal art will be presented here.

The stone of the mountain can attack jade, and Baishi feels that even the immortal art of the toad has something to learn from.

With this in mind, Shiraishi instructed the Shadow Dancer to carefully move along the shadows illuminated by the eaves of the workshop towards the main door of the workshop.

Then infiltrate through the gap in the gate and into the inside of the workshop.

Maybe it was because he felt that there was no need to set up an enchantment in this kind of place, so Shiraishi infiltrated it smoothly.

The interior of the workshop is large and has the shape of a ball.

In the center of the workshop, at the bottom stood a large number of transparent stone tablets engraved with glowing incantations in dark green.

Surrounded by these stone monuments, a sphere resembling a 'cocoon' floats in mid-air.

The volume of the sphere is about the size of a moving standard two-story villa.

Through the transparent skin of the sphere, you can see that there are countless rays of light inside, moving irregularly like a meteor.

Seeing this huge sphere, Bai Shi's heart sank slightly.

The rays of light that move like meteors inside the sphere are incomparably high concentrations of fairy chakras.

In terms of quantity, it is already comparable to a tailed beast.

Confined to such a huge power in a container, Myoki Mountain's research on chakra technology is not trivial.

The stele and the sphere radiate a brilliant brilliance that illuminates the interior of the entire workshop.

As a result, Shiraishi also saw things on the tables around him.

There are a large number of tools that Shiraishi has never seen, and only a few utensils know the purpose, so that Shiraishi does not know what the toads do in such places during the day.

It wasn't until Shiraishi saw the rune paper on the table, like the rune paper produced by handicrafts, that he suddenly realized the work of the toads.

These runes have been seen in Baishi, and they are called the talismans of the immortals.

It's just a replica of the immortal talisman.,It's called the pseudo-immortal talisman by the toad of Miaomu Mountain.。

Even so, this kind of thing has a powerful effect on healing injuries and clearing the body's abnormal state.

Looking at the large number of pseudo-immortal talismans placed on the table, at least more than twenty, Shiraishi fell into deep thought.

Although it is not a finished product, it is only the last few procedures away from the finished product.

Is the large number of immortal chakras gathered here for the sake of flowing water to produce this kind of charm? Shiraishi's mind came alive.

So, in other words, why did Miaomu Mountain make a large number of pseudo-immortal talismans at such a time?

In the end, are these pseudo-immortal talismans consumed internally, or are they traded with external forces?

If it is a trade with an external force, then which side is the power that Myoki Mountain is trading with?

In fact, these answers can be determined with a little guesswork.

Because of the inexplicable and wonderful prophecy, he was inexplicably targeted by Miaomu Mountain, and was also accused of disturbing the ninja world by Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, and was identified as a vicious and vicious person, as well as the title of 'Son of Destruction'.

Even Zilai is still in other countries, and he is constantly advocating his 'annihilation' rhetoric.

Just as Jiraiya once advertised his disciple Bo Feng Shui Men as the 'son of prophecy' who brought peace in other countries.

It's just that in these rumors, he is the villain of the opposite, and his disciple is the hero of the savior of the front.

Then Bo Feng Shui Gate died.

He's still alive and well.

“……”

Shiraishi didn't have to think about it, he also knew that the reason why Miaomu Mountain mass-produced these pseudo-immortal talismans was probably to deal with him.

Is it because of the reason that you are evil?

Because you are the culprit who destroyed the ninja world?

This is a fact presented in the eyes of the Great Toad Immortal?

So, the same as the fact that Jiraiya saw in his eyes?

Will possible crimes in the future also be defined as ironclad criminal facts?

It's a bit funny, but Shiraishi never thinks of what he's doing as evil.

He has a human sensibility, but he is also rational.

The premise of his war must be based on a stable world order and uncover the existing irrationalities of human society that cannot benefit the working people. Therefore, the 'justice' of this article must be included.

Judging right and wrong by war is a manifestation of immaturity.

The correctness of war lies in what it leaves for future generations, which is conducive to the positive thinking of the human collective.

This is probably the fundamental reason why he and a ninja like Jiraiya can't communicate.

Looking at the pseudo-immortal talisman on the table, Shiraishi did not touch it, but let the shadow dancer manipulate the shadow, and quit the workshop where the immortal talisman was made the same way.

The ceremony of succeeding the five Hokages was even more tiring than Tsunade had imagined.

Under the watchful eyes of countless civilians and ninjas in Konoha, the proclamation of the inauguration of the Hokage was read, and he also cooperated with the advisors to personally summon the envoys from various countries and accept their congratulations.

Although the envoys from various countries brought congratulatory gifts, Tsunade, who didn't pay attention to material comforts himself, knew that these valuable things were very valuable, and he just let Shizune accept them casually.

Fortunately, there were no accidents in the process of the Hokage's succession ceremony this time, and most of the shinobi were also satisfied with her succession to the Hokage, so when the two advisors were worried, it finally passed safely.

The Hokage's succession ceremony, as well as the reception of emissaries from various countries, began in the afternoon and ended in the evening.

And at night, Tsunade lay directly on the desk in the office belonging to the Hokage, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul.

On the desk are piles of papers, all important documents full of words.

Next to the desk, a table the size of a double bed, also facing stacks of paper or sealed file bags.

Not only that, but under the command of Mute, a dark department with thick documents kept coming in from the outside, almost filling the entire Hokage's office.

Seeing this, Tsunade's whole eyes lost their highlights, revealing a gloomy light that he wanted to disillusion immediately.

"How can there be so many pending papers?"

Tsunade couldn't help but ask.

She has limited time, and she has more important things to do, but she doesn't want to have to fight all kinds of documents for the next half of the month, and it will be a battle with no end in sight.

"There's no way about this kind of thing, after all, the documents here have been shelved for a long time. Coupled with the fact that so many things have happened in the village recently, it is only natural that there are so many documents hoarded. Tsunade-sama, please work a little harder. ”

Mute is also helpless.

"Hey, what are you kidding, it's not a lot of work that can be solved with a little hard work!"

Tsunade pointed to a mountain of papers, his brows furrowed.

"That being said, is it really good that you're complaining here when you first became Hokage, Tsunade-sama?"

Hearing Shizune say this, Tsunade also knew that it was a bit inappropriate to complain at this time.

But this workload, if you really deal with it, feels like it will exhaust people to death.

"After that, let's use the shadow clone to share the pressure."

Tsunade said.

"If you want to use that method, you need to pay attention to the time."

Mute thought for a moment and replied.

Using shadow clones to share the pressure of work is indeed a feasible way. However, after the shadow clone is eliminated, the pressure accumulated on the shadow clone will also be directly fed back to the body. If the accumulated fatigue is too much, Shizune is a little worried about whether Tsunade's body can support it.

"Don't worry, I'll control the amount and time of the shadow clone's work, so it's no problem."

In order to get the job done as quickly as possible, this was the only thing Tsunade could come up with.

"In that case, I'll be optimistic about Tsunade-sama. By the way, there are some letters here that need to be addressed to Tsunade-sama in person."

Shizune thought of something, took out a stack of sealed letters from the clothes in his arms, and respectfully placed them in front of Tsunade.

Tsunade took the letters, looking puzzled: "Strange, is it a letter to me?" ”

"Yes."

With mute's affirmation, Tsunade opened the letters and took out the papers inside...... After that, Tsunade immediately showed embarrassment on his face.

These papers were not letters of condolence, but IOUs signed by her past loans.

In other words, it is the creditor who comes to collect the debt.

In the past, she was constantly traveling around the world and wandering around without a fixed place, which made it difficult for creditors to catch her traces.

Now that she has returned to Konoha as the fifth Hokage, there is no way to make creditors struggle with how to collect debts like in the past. Therefore, after learning the news that Tsunade succeeded the fifth Hokage, these creditors calculated and planned to give her a 'surprise'.

Seeing the dense numbers on the IOU, Tsunade's head was big for a while.

"As the Hokage, if he has a reputation for not paying his debts, it probably won't be good."

Shizune coughed and said to Tsunade.

I hope that the other party will not evade the ticket like in the past, otherwise it will be Konoha's face that will be lost, although it is enough to be ashamed to send the IOU to Konoha's side.

Therefore, it is the right way to replace the arrears as soon as possible before the matter is too big.

"yes...... These guys are obviously saying that they want to slow down the time. Forget it, mute, you can find a time, invite them to the village, and pay them back as soon as possible. ”

Tsunade rubbed his eyebrows and spoke.

"It would have been nice to have done it earlier, and now it's a little more troublesome."

"Long-winded! I just want to pay it off all at once. It's millions of dollars each time, which is a waste of time. ”

“……”

Shizune sighed and just silently jotted it down.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

"It's rude, Hokage-sama."

After receiving permission, Shikaku walked in from outside, walked to the front of Tsunade's desk, stopped, and bowed slightly to Tsunade.

Unlike Tsunade, who has just entered the working state, Shikaku's eyes have very serious dark circles.

The muscles of the face are also very relaxed, and the whole body exudes a rotten and decadent atmosphere.

Even the act of saluting and the tone of speech give people a feeling of drowsiness.

"That...... Lujiu, you're all right, right? ”

Seeing Lujiu's state, both Tsunade and Shizune were worried about whether he would be able to stand safely now.

This state still has to work, and there will definitely be problems.

"Ah, I'm sorry to make you laugh. But it doesn't matter, my body should be able to hold up for a while. ”

Shikaku scratched his head, barely squeezing out a smile from his muscular face.

"It's okay here, you better go back and rest quickly, you don't have to come to work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, your work will be replaced by silence for the time being."

Tsunade frowned as he looked at Lu Kuna's reluctant appearance, and asked him to return home to rest for two days before coming back to work.

"Thank you very much. However, today's work still needs to be done, and there are some things that need to be identified. ”

"Things? Cognizance? ”

Tsunade was a little puzzled by Shikaku's words.

"Well, it's actually the issue of Kakashi Hachiki and Sasuke Uchiha, as well as the funeral of three generations of adults. Those who know about these things have been silenced for the time being, and countries do not seem to know much about it. But this is not the way to go, and these things cannot be hidden forever. Therefore, I think it is better to make it public as soon as possible. ”

Before, because the village lost the Hokage, even if the high-level knew about some things, the middle and low-level personnel may not know about these things.

In order to prevent the impact of the matter from expanding and causing unnecessary confusion.

But now that Tsunade has returned and successfully sat in the position of the fifth generation Hokage, then in this way, even if these things are made public, it will cause a storm, and it is basically not a big problem.

"These things? How did you negotiate before? ”

Tsunade paused and asked Shikaku.

Shikaku said without thinking: "Regarding Kakashi Hachiki and Sasuke Uchiha, the behavior of the two of them is undoubtedly turning their backs on the village, so treating the two of them as traitors is the best way to deal with them. As for the reason for defection, you can guide it to Orochimaru, try to avoid the fault of Elder Tuanzang, transfer the contradictions within the village, and stabilize the resistance psychology of the martial arts faction. ”

"It's really simple and crude."

"There's no way, the people of the Martial Arts Sect are also a little restless in the village now because of the failure of Elder Tuanzang, and if they take the extreme path, it will make things even more troublesome. Before things turn out to be that outcome, they have to be calmed down. ”

Lu Jiu's tired face showed a serious look, obviously not joking.

The members of the Konoha Martial Arts Sect at this stage are psychologically sensitive and fragile, and if they are stimulated again, they may explode inside Konoha.

"Don't worry, although I hate that person in Tuanzang, I can still figure out the issue of position. Let's do it, Kakashi Hachiki is designated as an S-class traitor, and as for Uchiha Sasuke......"

Tsunade is in a dilemma.

Compared to Kakashi, she wasn't particularly familiar with the Uchiha Sasuke's affairs.

"What do you think of him being an A-class traitor, Hokage-sama?"

"Why?"

"He learned the truth about the destruction of the Uchiha clan, but he still chose to leave the village, so sooner or later he will take revenge on the village...... I'm even more inclined to classify him as an S-class traitor, in terms of potential threats. ”

Lu Jiu's eyes showed a sharp light, and the tiredness on his face dissipated a lot.

"Alas...... Teacher Ape Fei, it's really a mess for me. ”

Tsunade tapped his fingers on the door of his head and took a deep breath.

The extermination of the Uchiha clan, she also knew a little about it through the information submitted by Shikajiu before.

It is precisely because of this that for what happened to Uchiha Sasuke, he is both ashamed and full of pity, but there is no hostility and disgust.

It's that Konoha owes that child too much, it's not that the child owes Konoha a lot.

If that kid really wants to take revenge on Konoha in the future, what position should he blame the other party?

It's like I'm despising my own village. Tsunade smiled bitterly in his heart.

"It's not just you, Hokage-sama, who is embarrassed, even I, the leader of the Shinobi squad, am ashamed...... The Uchiha didn't deserve to end up like that. However, since it has happened, then Uchiha Sasuke is the enemy, and although it is a pity, it is the responsibility of our Konoha ninja to eliminate him. ”

Lu Jiu said in a cruel tone.

"Of course I know that...... However, as I think you know, the village doesn't have the strength to deal with Uchiha Sasuke right now. And it's not a good thing that he and Kakashi, who are suspected of taking refuge in Orochimaru, are involved with that guy. ”

The worry on Tsunade's face was undisguised.

"Regarding this matter, maybe you can use the power of the Oni Country to deal with Orochimaru."

Lu Jiu thought for a moment and replied.

"The land of ghosts? What do you mean......"

Tsunade suddenly understood.

"Well, this is the best way to do it right now, both to get rid of Orochimaru and Uchiha Sasuke, and to divert the attention of the Oni Country...... However, it is very difficult to operate and may not be successful. ”

"Let's talk about this later, and I won't rush it for the time being. The most important thing at the moment is to restore the functions of the village as soon as possible, as well as the funeral of Mr. Sarufei. ”

"That's right, then, is it okay to have the funeral two days later?"

"Okay, let those two advisors arrange it, your next task is to rest at home. After Mr. Apefei's funeral, you will return to work. ”

Tsunade considers that Shikahisa is not in good condition, and asks him to rest at home for two days until the teacher's funeral is over.

"Yes. That's nothing else, I'll take my leave, Hokage-sama. ”

"Wait, don't go yet, there's one more question, I'd like to hear your advice."

Tsunade stopped Shikaku.

"Hokage-sama, please speak."

"Shimura Danzou has fallen, do you have any good candidates for the vacant position of elder in the upper echelons?"

Tsunade asked, staring into Shikaku's eyes.

"Do you have any recommendations for Hokage-sama?"

Lu Jiu did not answer the rhetorical question.

Tsunade thought for a moment and answered Shikaku's question: "I hope that the Autumn Road of the Autumn Road clan can take over this position." ”

Lu Jiu was not surprised, not everyone could hold such a position as a high-level elder.

Akamichi, who is also a disciple of the second generation of Hokage, is a contemporaneous of the two advisors, and he has the qualifications to become an elder in terms of identity and background, as well as ability and strength.

"Although I am also inclined to this suggestion, I have already asked, and the other party has no intention of becoming an elder, and prefers to be an idle old man in the village."

Lu Jiu shook his head.

"Is that so? So, is there anyone else in the village who can hold this position? ”

Tsunade continued to ask after a moment of disappointment.

"In terms of prestige and ability, you can only choose from the patriarchs of the ninja clan. And among all the ninja patriarchs in Konoha...... I'm inclined to Hinata's one. ”

"Hinata Hinata?"

Tsunade frowned, his fingers tapping on the table, as if seriously considering the offer.

Shikaku silently bent over Tsunade, then turned to leave the office, leaving Tsunade to think about it himself.
