Chapter 148: Problem Solving
"What a rare sight! I didn't expect the place where you live to be so spectacular! β
No sooner had Yoshito and Tsunade appeared in the skulls of the Ten Thousand Snakes than they felt a surging sound like a hot summer wind hitting them, pressing their clothes against their skin.
Kyojurou was facing away from the two of them, taking advantage of the moonlight to stand behind the sharp teeth of the ten thousand snakes' snouts and look around.
Although the country of vortex, which is a little further east, is already night, the dazzling hair of the other party shows its existence like a flame that cannot be ignored.
As soon as the live slug wanted to remind a guest that it had arrived, Xingshou had already turned around with a feeling. Two lantern-like eyes twinkled in the dim space, like stars burning in the infinite universe.
"Doctor Tsunade, we haven't seen each other for three years and seven months!"
Xingjulang strode to the two of them with his head held high, with the sound of whirring wind.
By the way, the live slug used the mucus to activate the luminescent substance inside the skull of the snake, slightly illuminating the surrounding environment.
Facing the "light", Kyojuro's gaze stayed on Tsunade's young face, grinning lively, but without the slightest offense.
"I'm so happy to see that your complexion is so much better than back then! No matter when a person unties his heart, it is a gratifying thing! β
Words like "I feel happy in my heart" will inevitably feel a little numb when they come out of other people's mouths.
But Kyojuro's seemingly innate boldness and honesty gave Tsunade the illusion of being praised by his elders.
What's more, Kyojuro's praise and exclamation are different from Sasuke's praise for Shizune, which contains real and unreal care, making Tsunade feel as if he is back to his childhood surrounded by his family.
When she became an adult, she rarely heard this kind of praise without any purpose.
[It is worthy of Xingjuro. γ
The subtle changes in Tsunade's expression were all in his eyes, and it was really much better than his previous praise of Tsunade.
And he noticed that when the living slug saw Tsunade, he only said that it was "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.] γ
Yiyong plans to record this as soon as he gets home, maybe he can use it later.
He can even draw inferences and time down to hours, minutes, or even seconds, and maybe even better.
On the other side, Kyojuro was still greeting Tsunade and talking about a past.
"About a year ago, one of my doppelgangers traveled to the Land of Iron, where he heard about your treatment of Mr. Mifune, the great swordsman!
"I wanted to wait a little longer and get together with you and the silent doctor, but the doppelganger's chakra is limited after all, so I had to give up in the end!
"I've heard a lot about you since then, but I've always been far away! I never thought that we would meet here today, and I really want to thank the live slugs! β
"It just happened." The live slug seemed to smile shyly.
"Iron Country?" Tsunade eyebrows listened to Kyojuro, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered what happened at that time.
"Wait a minute, I don't know who put that basket at the door of the castle tower and used it to treat Mifune, shouldn't it be ......?"
"I heard that the great swordsman is also a righteous and awe-inspiring hero, and I am only doing my best. Anyway, it's just looking for something, and it's not much trouble for me! β
Although Kyojuro did not deny it, he passed by what he had done.
[But the medicinal herbs can only be obtained by going to the deep mountains of neighboring countries.] γ
Tsunade was speechless for a while, but he also had a rough estimate of Kyojuro's speed.
Then, Kyojurou walked inside, and came to a small table and low stool woven of wooden rattan in the middle of the skull of ten thousand snakes.
The table and stool were specially made of wooden stools for eating when Butterfly Shinobu came over at noon, and was kept by live slugs.
"Doctor Tsunade, Yoshiyong, let's sit down and talk! Please. β
As soon as the three of them sat down, Tsunade felt that the pendant on his chest seemed to shake slightly.
But when she looked down, there was no movement in the pendant, as if nothing had happened.
[Delusion? γ
"So, Dr. Tsunade......"
Kyojuro was about to talk about business, when the living scorpion on the side suddenly corrected: "Kyojuro, Tsunade-sama will be the new Hokage in a few days." β
Then she emphasized: "He also said that he would often ask me to go out to help." β
"Is that so? Another thing to celebrate! Looks like I'm going to change my name too! β
Xing Shoulang's eyebrows relaxed, and then he looked at Yiyong on the side: "So, we are all here today, what exactly are we going to discuss?" β
"Here's the thing......"
Yoshiyo said it in two sentences, and then said his thoughts without concealment: "Although you have always had a high opinion of her, she is now the Hokage, which is equivalent to doing the work of three generations and Shimura Danzo at the same time.
"As a shadow of a village, no matter what you do, you have a very narrow stance. If you tell her a specific reason, it may lead to some unpredictable consequences.
"But if I don't tell her, I'll have to use other means to rob her. Although it will definitely succeed, it will affect the situation of my people in the village somewhat, so I can't do it. β
Tsunade: "......"
To be honest, Kyojuro and Yiyong have one thing in common, that is, "sincerity".
But the effect of these two kinds of sincerity on others is completely different.
She glanced sideways at Yiyong, [Should he think that after defeating the Great Snake Pill, and the second grandfather, who was not even half of the level in his heyday, he felt that he was invincible in the world? γ
This is not casual speculation.
In Tsunade's mind, even if Orochimaru used an elite shinobi like Kakashi as a material to resurrect the second Hokage, it would only reach half of this level at most.
Moreover, since Purgatory Kyojuro is also here, will Orochimaru's death be the result of the two of them joining forces?
"Yi Yong's worries are not unreasonable."
Kyojuro's words made Tsunade's heart sink slightly. She wasn't supposed to feel that way.
For some reason, not being trusted by Kyojuro actually brought her a faint sense of frustration, just like when she secretly went to the casino with Senjuju when she was a child, and when she came home, she saw Senju's disappointed and speechless expression.
However, this frustration disappeared with Kyojuro's next words.
"But I also believe that Tsunade-sama is definitely not the likes of Danzo Orochimaru!
"It's like the medical ninja system of the five major countries, which was successfully established with her help and guidance, overcoming each other's gateway views; Those basic medical ninjutsu are also because of the travels of Tsunade-sama and Doctor Shizune over the years, and they have slowly spread to the surrounding small countries, allowing countless people who should have died to survive! β
Kyojuro stared at Tsunade, his eyes as if he had infinite hope.
"So, judging from what Tsunade-sama has always done, the meaning of such a precious and dazzling thing as life in the eyes of Tsunade-sama is very different from most shadows! At the very least, we can tell her the seriousness of the problem without reservation about this part of the human experiment, and we believe that she will not refuse to help. β
"Human experiments?"
Thinking of all the experimental records of Orochimaru and the roots of Yiyong, Tsunade immediately understood a little: "Orochimaru, that bastard, won't he do anything that shouldn't be done in the Land of Water, right?" β
"You guessed it right!"
Kyojurou nodded and introduced, "According to the records, Orochimaru has a total of four bases in the Land of Water, one large, three and small. Over the years, he has secretly captured no less than 700 men, women, and children in the Land of Water, and more than half of them have died in his experiments!
"Righteous Courage asked you for information and data on the root and Orochimaru, just to help the victims who are still alive and reverse the experiments they have suffered."
"Hmph, I'm meddling again, it's really your style......"
[With a Uchiha, it's incredible, this kind of contagion...... No wonder he left Konoha and the old man would be so sorry. γ
Tsunade frowned and muttered for a while, "What kind of experiments are you talking about?" β
"A small part is organ grafting from different species, but this one we already have a solution and the victims are recovering."
"At present, the most difficult thing is the transplantation of curse seals, wood escape cells, and various blood inheritance limits. Orochimaru, for the sake of secrecy, didn't leave a copy of the records in the baseβ"
"That's my problem."
Yiyong bowed his head a little ashamedly and interrupted: "I didn't expect this at the time.
"Fearing that his remaining cells might have the ability to resurrect or something, I burned him to ashes without even having a chance to examine his body. It's likely that he hid the data in his own body, or in the body of some psychic snake. β
[Revival from residual cells? γ
Tsunade glanced at Yoshiyong a little strangely, "Are you overestimating that bastard. γ
Strange to say.
On the one hand, this little imp is gentle enough to be willing to risk the life and death of some strangers with Kyojuro.
But on the other hand, he was merciless to the enemies he identified, whether it was those Lei Shinobi or Orochimaru, Yi Yong was quite ruthless.
"How can I blame you for this?!"
Xing Shoulang patted Yiyong's shoulder and comforted: "No one can think about such a thing so thoughtfully!" There's no need to blame yourself for such a thing! You've done your best! β
"I see."
Tsunade didn't say what was in his heart, but recalled, "After Orochimaru defected, I went back to the village once because of something similar.
"But among so many test subjects who were implanted with the curse mark, only Mitarai Red Bean survived. And it wasn't me who survived her, but her own tolerance for the spell seal.
"As for the Mu Dun experiment, it is something completely uncontrollable.
"I'll put it simply, even I can't do such a thing as reversing the experiment of Mu Dun and the curse seal; Unless Orochimaru himself is still alive and willing to cooperate with me, there may be some slight possibility.
"If something is handed over to you, not only will it be useless, but there is also a risk that someone will take it away."
Seeing that Yoshiyoshi seemed to want to open his mouth to refute, Tsunade took the lead and explained, "I know that you defeated Orochimaru, and you think you are strong.
"But your essence is not in the land of water. If I give the experiment record to Kyojuro, only to be known by those uninhibited guys in the fog, it will put Kyojuro in danger.
"With my own understanding of Goji Yakura, if he knew about this kind of thing, he would never let go of this opportunity."
As she spoke, she frowned and looked at Xing Shoulang, not without a sense of admonition: "I also know that you have learned the King Kong blockade. But that guy from Yakura is the perfect human pillar of Miao. Once you completely let go of your hands and feet, it is definitely not comparable to a guy like Orochimaru, who likes to be opportunistic......"
"Goji Yakura, I've been killed by Orochimaru." Yi Yong interrupted.
In fact, because Yakura was controlled from beginning to end and acted in a scene, he couldn't even use the tail beast at all.
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became more serious than ever: "What did you say?" β
[What are you kidding?] γ
The last time the three generations of Kazekage were killed, the balance of the countries was suddenly broken, and it turned into a ninja war.
Although Tsunade had always known that Orochimaru did whatever he wanted, she didn't expect that he would be crazy like this.
"When did this happen?"
"Not long before I tackled Orochimaru."
"Why didn't you say something so big earlier?!"
Yi Yong was right: "No one has asked me." β
"You guy......" Tsunade was so angry that he didn't expect that he would actually take over Konoha in this situation.
The shadow of a village and the death of the human pillar force will be the balance of the five great powers again-
Eh, wait a minute.
The Land of Water has lost the power of Shadow and One Pillar.
The land of the earth lost thousands of casualties due to the Uchiha's water stoppage, and lost one human pillar force.
The number of ninjas in the Land of Thunder was small, and thirty shinobi died at the hands of Uchiha Yoshito, and the cutting-edge power was also seriously lost.
As for the Land of Wind, it is poor and weak, and it can't even take on a few decent tasks, and it is continuing to advance on a downhill road.
Although Konoha has dozens of dark men who have lost their combat effectiveness, they can recover in a month or two.
In this way, all countries have suffered varying degrees of losses, and Konoha is the one with the least losses.
Once he figured this out, Tsunade was less panicked.
Tsunade asked, "Who else did you tell about Yakura's death?" β
Yi Yong thought for a moment and replied, "Among the ninjas of the five major countries, you are the only one. β
Payne and the "angels" of the Land of Rain are not in this range.
"You better not tell anyone else about this, lest any more careerist decide to take advantage of the fire...... I don't want to be too busy just to sit in this position. β
Tsunade pondered for a moment, "Although I don't know how Orochimaru did it, now that your biggest threat in the Land of Water is gone, I'm not so worried about the data being snatched away. β
"That couldn't be better."
Kyojurou stood up and bowed to Tsunade very solemnly: "On behalf of all the victims in the hospital bed and in the cultivation tank, I thank you for your generosity!" I will definitely use my life to protect the safety of these records! β
Tsunade waved his hand: "Considering that most of Orochimaru's experiments are supported by Tuan Zang, I can only make some symbolic compensation for them."
"Still, I don't think you should get your hopes up. I know that you used to help out at Konoha Hospital, but with only your knowledge of medical ninjutsu, trying to reverse the experiment of the curse mark and Mu Dun is tantamount to a fool's dream. β
"Our researchers have dealt with something more difficult, and we believe it won't be long before good news comes."
Kyojurou is full of confidence in the butterfly who was almost "cured" without misery, "However, your suggestion is also very pertinent, and we will be mentally prepared for failure!" But in any case, it's also much better than doing nothing, you say? β
Considering the last time they met Kyojuro in the country of Kawanoku, using his body to absorb the black pepper fish toxin, Tsunade knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he had to agree: "Then so be it." When I get back, I'll immediately ask someone to collect the materials and bring them to me as soon as possible. β
Then she paused, "Okay, now that the experimental data is over, what's the matter with the disposal of the root ninja." Who are they? β
Although she knew that Kyojuro and Yoshiyong were unlikely to do anything shady, she still planned to ask clearly.
Kyojurou looked at Yoshiyong, after all, he knew almost nothing about the roots.
"It's mainly two oil girl and oil girl Ryoma." Yi Yong gave the answer.
"The oil girl took the root of the hand that you cut off, and is now being treated in the hospital. As for the oil girl Ryoma, she is still in the Uchiha's clan land. But if the Uchiha were willing to accept that agreement, the group of captives at the root would also be transferred back to the village. β
Tsunade's fingers tapped on the wooden rattan table, "However, I heard that these two people are not in charge of the root experiments, and the information they know is very limited, and they have nothing in common other than the ability to control bugs...... So, you guys are fighting the idea of the Oilgirl Clan's secret art of controlling insects? β
Thinking of this, she shook her head without hesitation.
"If that's the case, there's no way I'm going to say yes. I can't sell the foundation of a family in the village, no matter what the reason. β
Isn't the reason why the ninja clan joined the ninja village in order not to be snooped on at will?
Yiyong raised his eyebrows: "But Konoha didn't plan to betray the Hyuga clan before......"
After he came back from this incident, he had already heard it from his family.
"That's the old man fainting, and when I knew it, it had already happened!"
Judging from the expression on Tsunade's face, she was obviously very disgusted by this matter, "But now I am the Hokage of Konoha. β
Yi Yong corrected again: "There are still a few days before I take office." β
"You littleβ"
"Please be calm! It's not that serious! β
Seeing that the two seemed to have a tendency to quarrel, Kyojuro hurriedly interrupted: "Tsunade-sama, what we need is not the secret technique of controlling the parasitic parasitic parasite, but the technology of controlling insects such as bees, moths, and mosquitoes to pollinate plants, which should not involve the foothold of the oil girl clan!" β
"Pollination?" Tsunade frowned slightly, and immediately understood: "You want to cultivate crops?" β
In a world where all kinds of technologies are booming, but agriculture is still stuck in the Middle Ages, anything related to food can be said to be the most sensitive topic.
You must know that in the vast ninja world, only the country of fire and the country of grass can achieve food self-sufficiency, and occasionally export to other countries.
In most other areas, there are no suitable conditions for cultivation, and hunger is the most common cause of death.
"There are similar intentions."
Xing Shoulang nodded: "But for more specific situations, I have promised others not to say it, please forgive me!" β
"It's food and the experiment of reversing the Great Snake Pill, and there are too many things you two want to do."
Tsunade's gaze shifted back and forth on the faces of Yoshiyoshi and Kyojuro: "I made it clear. I don't want to agree to this because what you are going to do will touch on the sensitive points of many countries.
"If you have the power of the first Hokage or Madara Uchiha, do these things, no one can stop you.
"But at the current age of the two of you, if you get involved in the turmoil between countries, I'm afraid you will be crushed if you are not careful."
She hasn't officially taken the Hokage's position yet, and it's not out of the Hokage's position to say this.
To be honest, over the years, even Jiraiya, who is the most sympathetic of the three, has not done what these two children want to do.
From a ninja's point of view, let them continue to grow, and when they reach their peak in their twenties, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop them from doing anything.
But they chose this time.
"We are not two people, not three, but many people who have found that they have the ability and the willingness to change the world!"
Kyojurou replied to Tsunade's concerns with great firmness, "When we have certain results, more people will join us!" β
"It seems that you don't listen to what I say at all."
Tsunade waved his hand and looked at Yiyong: "It's impossible to give you the 'right to dispose of' the oil girl Ryoma and the oil girl to take the root. β
Just when Yoshito thought that the direction of things would turn into "Butterfly Shinobu decided to go to Konoha in person", Tsunade changed his words: "But I can lend the two of them to you for a period of time on the grounds of secondment." How long do you estimate it will take? β
"Three years!" Kyojuro said that it took twice as long as Butterfly Shinobu expected to grow a suitable crop.
And by that time, the secrets of the Land of Rain would no longer be considered secrets.
"So be it. Anyway, even if they stay in Konoha, what awaits them is a year or two of imprisonment and interrogation. β
Tsunade glanced at the skull of the Ten Thousand Snakes, "However, those two people didn't sign a psychic contract with the live slug, so they can't get here." β
Yoshiyong replied, "When I leave Konoha, I'll take them with me." β
[It doesn't seem to be in the land of water......]
The final issue was resolved peacefully, and Kyojurou thanked Tsunade again and talked a lot about her and Shizune's experiences during the trip.
After about ten minutes, Tsunade got up: "It's almost time, I'm going back." The fifth Hokage suddenly disappeared before he took office, and I don't want to leave those old guys with such a handle. β
"Then Tsunade-sama, we'll see you another day!"
At the time of separation, Kyojurou suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I promised Sasuke to go back when Konoha built the village in the 57th year!" It happened to be the release of Princess Fengyun's movie that day, can we take Naruto with us? β
This time, when it comes to the core and most important tailed beast and human pillar power of Konoha, Tsunade's answer is not so refreshing.
Seeing that Tsunade seemed to be a little entangled, Kyojuro immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, if you have any concerns, please be my ......"
"Yes."
Tsunade finally nodded, "But bring one of Naruto's elders." β
"Are you talking about the third generation Hokage?!" Considering Naruto's status, Kyojuro didn't find it strange.
"No, the younger generation." Tsunade clenched his fists, as if remembering something unpleasant, "Of course, it's also a stinky old man with no sense of shame." β
Ahh
