Chapter 955 Teng

The Third Hokage entrusted an important task. Tsunade was full of respect, and bowed slightly and said, "Senior, I came to bother you this time because I have something to ask you." The old man waved his hand gently, and his voice was hoarse but steady: "Tsunade girl, no need to be polite, just say whatever you want to say." Tsunade straightened up, her eyes firm: "The situation outside the village is turbulent now. I want to know if you had any special response strategies when you were in the Anbu when you faced similar crises?" A glimmer of memory flashed in the old man's eyes, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Girl, what we relied on back then was nothing more than unity and trust. Each ninja performed his duties and trusted each other. No matter how powerful the enemy is, as long as we are united in Konoha, we are not afraid of any challenge." Tsunade nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "But now the people in the village are a little impetuous, how can we unite everyone again?" The old man smiled slightly, with encouragement in his eyes: "You just need to show your determination and strength, and the villagers will naturally follow you. After all, you have the blood of the First Hokage." After hearing this, Tsunade clenched her fists, as if she had made up her mind.

Tsunade took a deep breath and said seriously: "Senior, I understand. I'm just a little worried. The strength of the younger generation of ninjas is uneven, and they may not be able to cope with strong enemies." Old man Fujii slowly stood up with the help of a cane, walked to the window and looked at the bustling streets outside: "Then we should strengthen training and give them opportunities for actual combat. We can arrange experienced old ninjas to lead the team to perform some tasks with lower risk factors and grow faster in actual combat. Moreover, we must focus on cultivating their team spirit. As I said before, unity is the most powerful weapon." Tsunade's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly: "Senior's advice is very pertinent. I will start to arrange it when I go back." Old man Fujii turned around and patted Tsunade on the shoulder: "Girl, the future of Konoha is in your hands. I believe you will not let the village down." Tsunade bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will do my best." After that, Tsunade said goodbye to the old man and left the house with firm steps. At this time, the sun shone on her, as if symbolizing the hopeful future of Konoha.

After Tsunade left, old man Fujii stood there for a long time without moving. He murmured to himself: "I hope this girl can really lead Konoha to a better future." Then, his grandson and granddaughter ran over and asked curiously: "Grandpa, what did the Hokage say to you?" Old man Fujii touched their heads lovingly, briefly explained the matter, and warned them to work hard to do their own things, because Konoha's prosperity is inseparable from everyone's efforts.

On the other side, after Tsunade returned to the Hokage's office, she immediately summoned several trusted ninjas and informed them of the suggestions she had received from old man Fujii. Everyone agreed and quickly acted according to the plan.

Tsunade also went to the Ninja School to inspect it in person. She stood on the podium, looked at the pairs of energetic eyes below the stage, and encouraged loudly: "Young ninjas, Konoha is facing challenges, but as long as you train hard and maintain unity, Konoha's glory will continue." The little ninjas below the stage were all excited and shouted in unison: "Yes, Lord Hokage!" Seeing this, Tsunade showed a gratified smile. She firmly believed that Konoha will get better and better.

However, although everything seemed to be going in a good direction, the matter about Fujisaki Takeshi always lingered in Tsunade's mind. One night, Tsunade was alone reading the ancient files left by the Anbu, trying to find more clues about Fujisaki Takeshi. Deep in a dusty file, she found a blurry photo with Fujisaki Takeshi vaguely on it. As she looked at it carefully, she suddenly felt a chakra fluctuation. Tsunade stood up vigilantly and found a dark shadow flashing outside the window. She immediately chased out, and when she chased into the woods at the edge of the village, the dark shadow stopped. Tsunade saw clearly that the person in front of her was. Sneered: "Hokage-sama, why are you so obsessed with the past." Tsunade said seriously: "The truth must be revealed. If it is related to the safety of Konoha, no one can stop it." With both hands in seals, the atmosphere around them instantly became tense, and the battle was about to break out. Tsunade knew that this confrontation was inevitable, and she got into a fighting stance. The two of them faced off under the moonlight, the rustling of leaves seemed to foreshadow the upcoming fierce confrontation.

He launched the first attack, and several kunai mixed with chakra were shot at Tsunade. Tsunade dodged easily by leaning sideways, and then rushed forward quickly, punching the ground, and the ground cracked, and a crack spread out. He jumped up, formed a seal in the air, and summoned a gust of wind blades to attack Tsunade. Tsunade crossed her hands to block, and then took advantage of the wind to jump back behind her and kick. Barely avoided it, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"You are no match for me. Tell me the secret behind this." Tsunade shouted.

Asami Masumi wiped the corner of her mouth and sneered: "Do you think you can find out easily? The forces involved behind this are far beyond your imagination." As she said that, she took out a flare and fired it.

As Tsunade was wondering, a group of mysterious people in black robes suddenly appeared around her. Tsunade frowned, realizing that things were far more complicated than she thought. But she was not afraid at all, and said in a deep voice: "Whoever wants to stop me from finding the truth must get past me first." After that, she clenched her fists again, ready for the upcoming tough battle.

A man walked out from the mysterious black robes, and a deep voice sounded: "Lady Tsunade, you'd better not investigate this any further." Tsunade glared at him: "You are such a coward, why should I give up?" The man slowly took off his mask, and he turned out to be a retired Konoha ninja.

He sighed and said, "This matter involves a power struggle among high-level officials. Your insistence will cause civil unrest in Konoha. Fujisaki Takeshi is just a victim." Tsunade gritted her teeth and said, "Are we going to let the truth be buried? Let those who are secretly doing evil go unpunished?"

At this time, someone mocked: "Tsunade, what do you think you can change?" Tsunade ignored her and said to the retired ninja: "I am the Hokage, and it is my responsibility to protect the peace and justice of Konoha. If the top leaders are corrupt, I will clean up the mess."

Suddenly, a flute sound came from the depths of the forest, and the black-robed people fell down one after another as if they were under control. Danzo slowly walked over: "Tsunade, you are really persistent. Since you want to know the truth, I will tell you part of it. It was indeed me who sent people to get rid of Fujisaki Takeshi because he knew too many of my secrets, but now I have changed my mind. I am willing to protect Konoha with you." Tsunade looked at Danzo, not knowing whether she should believe him, but she knew that this storm had just begun.
