Chapter 149 Tsunade: Hokage? I wouldn't even be a dog! [Fifth Update]
"Hahaha, she's still as hot-tempered as ever."
Jiraiya, who was off-screen, quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
That's really terrifying.
"Is this something that can be done with just physical skills?"
Sasuke Uchiha stared in shock at Tsunade, who was punching a wall to pieces in the video.
If ninjutsu could cause this level of damage, that would be within his understanding, but to smash it apart with a single punch using only taijutsu, is that reasonable?
Tsunade remained unmoved when Kabuto tried to awaken her camaraderie with her teammates.
If Tsunade were 100% certain she could kill Orochimaru, she would have already done it; she wouldn't be wasting her breath talking to Kabuto.
Faced with Tsunade's resolute stance of repeatedly making them disappear, Orochimaru calmly stated his most important condition: "I can resurrect your beloved younger brother and man, using a forbidden technique I developed!"
These words struck Tsunade squarely between the eyebrows.
"Does the fact that we haven't been killed yet mean the negotiations are successful?"
Orochimaru's condition not only stunned Tsunade in the scene, but also made everyone off-screen look serious.
The temptation of being able to resurrect a deceased loved one is something few can resist.
Oh, only Itachi Uchiha could remain completely unmoved, because he was the one who killed him.
So even though he tossed and turned every day, often couldn't sleep well, and frequently dreamed of his clansmen cursing him, he had no intention of resurrecting his parents or Izumi.
If they really come back to life, wouldn't that be rather awkward?
What could he say in the face of his clansmen's accusations?
I've noticed that you guys are pretty serious about things, really!
"Dad, Mom..."
"6
Uchiha Sasuke muttered to himself. He seemed to understand why his original self in history had sided with Orochimaru. Besides being beaten up and having no other choice, the temptation was probably too great.
Even now, if he had the choice, would he be willing to give up control of his body in exchange for his parents' rebirth? He would definitely be.
Now, after being exposed to Kitahara Kaede's diary, he has come to understand many things. Although such things seem very tempting, and are indeed very tempting, the ones that have been resurrected are not his parents after all.
Moreover, it's about filling this hole with human lives, and not just one or two lives.
The Impure World Reincarnation technique cannot be maintained for long. He doesn't know how many lives would be needed to keep his parents alive in this world for an extended period.
That kind of thing is beyond the reach of his values!
At that moment, as the images of Dan and her younger brother Nawaki flashed through her mind on the video screen, Tsunade asked, "If your hand is healed, what do you plan to do?"
"I hate lying. I'll tell you honestly that after I get what I want, by the way, this time I will definitely destroy Konoha completely."
Orochimaru spoke directly, almost without any attempt to hide his true feelings.
"So your answer is?" Kabuto said with a smug smile.
"Lady Tsunade, don't be fooled by such sweet talk. Nawaki and Uncle don't want you to do this."
As Tsunade fell into deep thought, she heard a sharp, urgent reminder from Shizune.
"Their wish is for you, Lady Tsunade. Have you forgotten your own wish and dream?"
Shizune tried to bring Tsunade back to her senses, but Tsunade simply told her to shut up.
No matter how malicious Orochimaru was, or even how nonchalantly he said he wanted to destroy Konoha again, Tsunade, who was still grieving the deaths of her brother and lover, did not react at all.
Suddenly, at that moment, Orochimaru managed to lift his arm, bit his finger, and blood dripped down.
In an instant, Tsunade, who had been so confident in front of him, began to tremble all over.
This is Orochimaru's true trump card, and it's why he dared to confront Tsunade, who could potentially kill him.
Indeed, in past battles, it's hard to say who was stronger between Orochimaru and Jiraiya among the Sannin, but Tsunade was definitely at the bottom, as her development path was towards becoming a medical ninja.
However, this weakness is only relative; she is still a Kage-level powerhouse who stands firmly in the Kage-level realm.
With him unable to use his hands, Tsunade could easily kill him.
However, he possessed a crucial secret known only to a very few high-ranking members of Konoha: Princess Tsunade, a medical ninja, had developed hemophobia.
This is a huge joke; medical ninjas are afraid of blood.
However, this is reality. After witnessing her younger brother Nawaki and her lover Dan die in front of her, Tsunade developed hemophobia.
Therefore, he could take advantage of this and use just a little bit of blood to make Tsunade submit, leaving her helpless.
"Looks like you haven't overcome your fear of blood yet," Orochimaru said smugly.
Only Kabuto was unaware of this fact.
"Alright, let's go, Kabuto. I'll be waiting for your good news, Tsunade."
With that, Orochimaru and Kabuto used Body Flicker Technique to leave the scene.
However, this scene also shocked everyone watching.
Apart from Jiraiya, no one else knew about this. It was obvious that Tsunade, one of the famous Legendary Sannin of Konoha, was afraid of blood.
"As expected, Orochimaru still prefers these low-level methods." Tsunade sneered.
She wasn't surprised that Orochimaru used such methods to test her, and even tried to control her.
Just as Orochimaru knew everything about her, she also knew everything about Orochimaru's habits and personality.
Without a doubt, Orochimaru is the kind of person who would do such a thing.
However, Tsunade also knew that this was a huge problem. Over the years, she had been avoiding Konoha's spies and frequenting taverns and casinos, and this was certainly one of the factors involved. In fact, it could be said that this was the very reason why she chose to be in a state of near-retirement.
It is utterly ridiculous for a ninja who needs to go to the battlefield to be afraid of blood.
At that moment, Jiraiya, accompanied by Naruto Uzumaki, also approached Tsunade at the tavern.
"Today really is a day to see old friends again."
Tsunade said after taking a sip of wine.
"It's Orochimaru, isn't it? What happened?"
Jiraiya asked.
"Nothing, just said hello." Tsunade avoided the question, took out a deck of cards from her pocket, shuffled them, and then asked, "What did you want to see me about?"
"I'll be frank, Tsunade, the village demands that you succeed as the Fifth Hokage," Jiraiya stated his purpose.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade paused for a moment before continuing to deal the cards.
"The Third Hokage..." Jiraiya hesitated, then stopped himself from speaking.
"It was Orochimaru who did it, I heard him say it myself," Tsunade said.
Naruto Uzumaki, who was obviously making a scene when he first learned that Orochimaru had killed the Third Hokage, was clearly upset. He wasn't there when the Third Hokage died because he had gone to the outskirts of the village to chase Gaara, so he missed the scene and no one told him that Orochimaru was responsible.
So he only knew that the Third Hokage died at the hands of a strongman from another village, but he didn't know that he actually died at the hands of one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha.
However, neither Tsunade nor Jiraiya clearly wanted to get entangled with Naruto Uzumaki on this issue.
"I'll say it again, the order to succeed as the Fifth Hokage is decided, Tsunade."
"And what's your answer?"
Jiraiya asked, "Will you agree?"
Meanwhile, Tsunade's mind was still preoccupied with Orochimaru's frank words.
Helping Orochimaru could revive Dan and his younger brother, Nawaki Senju; however, Orochimaru would also destroy the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
If he doesn't help Orochimaru, he'll never have the chance to see his lover and brother again.
"How is it, Tsunade?"
Jiraiya repeated it again.
Tsunade simply stated, "I refuse."
Upon hearing this, Shizune even wondered if she was planning to make a deal with Orochimaru.
Jiraiya was not surprised at all when he heard this, and said in a joking tone, just like when she rejected his confession before.
Facing Naruto, who was on the verge of exploding with frustration, he said, "Quiet down. She is the most suitable candidate to succeed as the Fifth Hokage. During the terrible war era, she made a great contribution to Konoha's victory. No one can compare to her in terms of combat and medical technology. Moreover, Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage. With her abilities, it's unimaginable who is more suitable to be the Fifth Hokage. Once she becomes Hokage, she will have to return to the village. As you said, she will have to treat those two."
Moreover, this is a decision made by the highest levels of Konoha's leadership and advisors; there's no room for a genin like you to interfere.
Although he told Naruto to shut up, he still patiently explained to Naruto why he did it that way.
Hearing these words, Tsunade said nonchalantly, "Jiraiya, this student is completely different from your previous students. His eloquence, his intelligence, and even his appearance are not good."
Faced with Tsunade's belittling remarks, Naruto was furious, while Jiraiya nonchalantly said, "Compared to the Fourth Hokage, everyone pales in comparison. After all, that guy's qualities as a ninja are the best in history. He has ninja talent, a clear mind, and is just as handsome as me."
"But even the Fourth Hokage died soon after. He risked his life for the village. Life is not the same as money. Only a fool would risk his life so easily."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade coldly replied, "My grandfather and the Second Hokage were the ones who most wanted to pacify the chaotic world, but they still failed to realize their dream and died in vain for the sake of the village."
In the scene, Tsunade speaks coldly, showing disdain for the Hokage position and even believing that anyone who wants to become Hokage is a complete idiot.
