Chapter 112 The Hero of Konoha

Tsunade said: "Raikage, no matter what, I don't want our two sides to have too much hatred, and I hope the war can end here. This time, I plan to let you go, and I hope you can stop this war." An Anbu asked puzzledly: "Hokage, it's okay that you let those Kumogakure escape just now, but why did the Raikage kill so many of our Konoha companions?" Tsunade said seriously: "For such things, I naturally have my own plans!" Everyone didn't dare to ask any more questions for a while, but just looked at Tsunade with puzzled eyes. Only Jiraiya nodded at him to show his understanding.

The Raikage was not in a hurry to escape, but looked at Tsunade and said: "Naruto, after letting me go, I will definitely become a powerful opponent of your Konoha in the future. Are you sure you won't regret it?" After saying this, Naruto couldn't help but feel that the Raikage was a respectable opponent. Facing such a life-and-death moment, he still said these words so frankly. Tsunade's expression was also a little complicated. After struggling for a while, she closed her eyes and said: "I made this decision for the peace of the entire ninja world. Although I don't know if it makes sense to do so now, you can go."

Tsunade waved her hands, and all the ninjas of Konoha moved aside. The Raikage did not hesitate too much and disappeared in front of everyone in Konoha. The doubts about Tsunade's decision were only short-lived. Although some costs were paid, Konoha still won. And this victory is absolutely inseparable from one person. It was him who attacked Kumogakure alone at night, greatly reducing the number of people in Kumogakure; it was him who resisted the two tailed beasts of Kumogakure alone; it was him who defeated the Raikage again and again and turned the tide of the battle. On this battlefield, Naruto appeared in his true identity. This is completely different from the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that the ninjas of Konoha knew before. Although most of the Konoha ninjas present were Naruto's predecessors, they had to acknowledge Naruto's strength. Naruto has now become a hero of Konoha and is worshipped by many Konoha ninjas.

Tsunade gathered all the ninjas. After a long battle, everyone was exhausted. The most important thing now was to support Danzo immediately. Although Danzo had been delaying, it was unknown how long he could delay. If Danzo failed to hold on, Konoha would be in danger. Tsunade gathered the important members of Konoha, and everyone gathered in the tent. Tsunade said, "We must send people to support Danzo immediately, but the main force must be reorganized, so only a small number of elite troops can be sent. Who do you think is more suitable to go?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke. Tsunade also noticed that after a long and hard battle, the troops she led had no energy left, no matter how strong the ninjas were. And the troops led by Jiraiya had already traveled for such a long time, and had just been through a period of fighting, and all of them looked exhausted. Just when Tsunade was in a dilemma, Naruto said, "Let me go to support them, I only need one person."

Tsunade looked at Naruto and found that Naruto hardly felt tired, but she still worriedly said: "Naruto, you just used a lot of chakra. No matter how strong you are, you need to rest temporarily and adjust to the best condition." Naruto smiled and said: "Even if I rest for ten hours now, there is still enough time to get there. My speed is much faster than you. What's more, I don't feel that tired now. This task is perfect for me." Tsunade knew that there was no extra choice now, so she could only nod and agree, and said to Naruto: "Then this task is handed over to you. I will send a large force to reinforce as soon as possible."

Naruto nodded first, then shook his head and said, "It's okay to send me to reinforce, but the main force had better return to Konoha immediately. Konoha now has almost no defensive power. Once an enemy attacks Konoha, the consequences will be disastrous. A ninja waved his fist and said, "I'm preparing for a big fight. It's really meaningless to go back to Konoha like this. Now that the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth have been defeated, our only enemy is the Land of Water. How could there be other ninjas invading?" Shikaku said, "No, what Naruto said makes sense. Although the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning have been defeated, the possibility of a comeback cannot be ruled out. Even if the big countries cannot organize an attack in a short time, other small countries may pose a threat at any time. In any case, it is unwise to leave Konoha in an empty state for a long time. We should rush back to Konoha as soon as possible. "

Tsunade had never doubted Shikaku's intelligence, and the fact was indeed as he said. She said helplessly: "Naruto, in this case, we can only rely on you." Jiraiya came over, put his arm around Naruto's shoulder and said: "Tsunade, Naruto is my best disciple, and you have seen his strength. He can definitely do a good job of this. Even if we rush over to reinforce, it is very likely that the battle will be over before we arrive.

Naruto shrugged and smiled, "It seems that Jiraiya-sensei understands me better. This kind of thing is nothing to me." Tsunade suddenly came over and punched Jiraiya hard on the head. Jiraiya fell into a big pit and shouted, "Idiot! Naruto has to face almost all the elites of Kirigakure. No matter how strong he is, he must be cautious and never underestimate the enemy. Do you understand?"

Naruto looked at Jiraiya's miserable state and said hurriedly, "Grandma Tsunade, I will be careful. In order not to waste precious time and delay the opportunity, I will go first." Naruto disappeared in a flash. The rest of the people looked at Tsunade and Jiraiya, and were a little speechless. Shikaku came over and said, "Hokage, it's better for us to return to Konoha as soon as possible. The later we go back, the more dangerous Konoha will be."

Tsunade dropped Jiraiya and patted the dust off her hands, as if nothing had happened. She said to Shikaku, "Pass the order immediately. Everyone must return to Konoha as quickly as possible, no matter what method is used. In principle, they must return to Konoha as soon as possible." With Tsunade's order, Shikaku immediately made arrangements. Dispatching matters has always been his forte. When these ninjas return to Konoha, they will receive different degrees of benefits based on their performance on the battlefield, such as ninja ranks, honors, and so on. Although Naruto did not return to Konoha, his performance was also spread to Konoha by these people. The former nine-tailed demon fox gradually became a hero in the village. Naruto's personal image has undergone a huge 180-degree change.
