Two weeks later...
Under Jiraiya's persuasion, Tsunade finally agreed to return to the village and took on the Hokage's position.
Naruto had no idea what kind of methods the old white-haired old man had used.
Anyway, every time he went to Tsunade to threaten her by bleeding in front of her, it had no effect at all.
In the end, Jiraiya's Talk-no-Jutsu had been far more effective.
It was worth mentioning that after Naruto's 87th 'treatment', Tsunade's hemophobia was completely cured as her rage had overpowered her fear.
That day, Tsunade had even activated her Strength of a Hundred Seal regardless of the consequences, and beat Naruto so badly that he was bruised and battered.
Jiraiya also suffered collateral damage at that same time.
As the mastermind's teacher, Jiraiya naturally could not escape Tsunade's wrath. A few punches and kicks later, three of his ribs were broken, and his right foot and left arm were fractured...
Now, outside the Land of Fire, Naruto trailed behind while Jiraiya lay on the floating iron door, groaning in pain. Tsunade and Shizune walked ahead with sour faces.
Naruto's black eye hadn't faded yet, and he didn't dare take out a healing potion.
After all, if Tsunade sees that the two of them have recovered from their injuries, she'd probably beat them up all over again.
Naruto wasn't too worried about himself, as it was just a little painful and he'd recover in less than half a day. So it's no big deal.
But the white-haired old man would be in miserable state.
After spending this time together, Tsunade had realized that without activating her Strength of a Hundred Seal, she couldn't do much to this yellow-haired delinquent. In the end, she simply took all her frustration out on Jiraiya.
Every time Naruto provoked her, she would first beat the yellow-haired brat up to show her anger, and then beat Jiraiya up.
"Hey, Jiraiya-sensei, why are we walking back...?"
"I could have opened a portal and returned directly to Konoha."
Naruto put his hands behind his head and asked Jiraiya on the door panel in confusion.
"Tsunade said she wants to gamble a couple more times before returning to the village..."
"Just don't provoke her again..."
"I can't take it anymore!"
Tears welled up in Jiraiya's eyes, as he felt so wronged.
'All the trouble was caused by this damn brat...'
'But why should I be the one suffering for it!?'
Every time they got beaten up, Naruto would scream the loudest, only to walk away completely fine afterward.
Meanwhile, Jiraiya was the one with broken bones and dislocated limbs.
After seeing Tsunade open her Strength of a Hundred Seal in anger a few days ago, Jiraiya felt like he was about to the Pure Land to meet the old man.
'This damn brat!!'
'What the hell did he even do to her!?'
Jiraiya angrily slapped the iron gate, but it pulled his wound and he grimaced in pain again.
Still…
At least Tsunade's hemophobia was finally cured. That was some good news.
"Oh…"
"We have to go to the gambling dens again, huh."
"What? Do you have any objection, brat?"
Tsunade turned her head and said coldly, but her eyes remained fixed on Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was frightened when he saw this, and quickly used his uninjured arm to grab Naruto's clothes, babbling incoherently, desperate to stop the kid from saying anything that might set Tsunade off again.
"N-No…"
"As long as you are happy."
Naruto couldn't bear to see his teacher suffer any more abuse from this old hag, so he pursed his lips and said nothing, too lazy to argue with her any further.
Besides, ever since Tsunade got over her hemophobia, she hasn't caused much trouble.
He was only beaten once a few days ago for refusing Tsunade's cursed necklace, and also last night when he was so greedy that he almost put Tonton into the pot, so he was beaten by both Shizune and Tsunade. After that, he never made Tsunade angry again.
Naruto considered himself very well-behaved now.
Seeing that the troublesome master and disciple weren't causing any more trouble, Tsunade snorted coldly and continued walking forward.
…
Konoha Village.
Ever since the troublesome master and student left the village, things had quieted down a bit.
Of course, it was just relatively.
Sakura was busy researching Scientific Ninja Tools, while Sasuke was obsessed with improving the power of his Fire Release.
Both of their experiments were extremely dangerous, and there would be a small explosion on the east side of the village every day and a big explosion every other day.
However, unlike Naruto, they didn't have the ability to quickly restore the training grounds. Therefore, after reducing the place to rubble, they moved their experiments to the outskirts of the village.
During this period, Homura and Koharu were at their wits' end.
Their blood pressure had skyrocketed countless times over the past few days, and even the medicines left by Hiruzen have been almost used up by them.
Although the explosions caused by Sakura and Sasuke hadn't endangered the village, if they continued like this, Konoha would soon have no more land left to blow up.
Boom…!
BOOM…!!
At this time, two more explosions rang out from the northern outskirts of the village.
Homura looked at the black smoke outside the window, rubbed his temples, and skillfully took out a pill from his shirt pocket and swallowed it.
"Koharu… we can't keep going like this..."
"I can't take it anymore!"
"The Hokage Tower has received 1,250 complaints in the past few days..."
"I really don't want to do this anymore!"
They had tried sending people to stop these two people before.
Sakura was okay, as she was a very polite child.
However, while she said that she would not do it again next time, she would cause another explosion within a few hours.
In the end, the two Advisors had to personally visit her home, and only then did things calm down a bit.
But the biggest headache was undoubtedly Sasuke!
That inherently evil Uchiha brat completely ignored the Jonin's warnings.
He even shamelessly declared that he had no money, and if they wanted his life...
Well, they'd have to fight him first to see if they were strong enough.
When the Anbu's Shinobi heard this brat being so arrogant, they immediately cursed aloud. They couldn't help but think...
'If we can't handle that yellow-haired delinquent, can we handle you?!'
The result...
Explosions rang out one after another that day, and even destroying several houses in Konoha...
And once again, the Anbu's Shinobi ended up hanging from the trees.
In the end, the village had to cover the compensation costs because that inherently evil Uchiha brat had already sold off the Uchiha Clan's assets.
And when they asked him for money, he just said he had none...
In the end, they had no choice but to give up.
Koharu fell silent for a moment, then took out a few pills and swallowed them.
After a long pause, she slowly spoke, "I remember..."
"Hasn't Danzo been discharged from the hospital for a while now?"
"How about…"
"Let him be the acting Hokage for now?"
Hearing this, Homura's eyes lit up and he slammed the table in excitement.
"That settles it!"
"Since the Godaime Hokage has not returned yet, Danzo will temporarily serve as the village's acting Hokage."
With just a few words, the two quickly finalized the decision, and in less than half a day, Danzo, who is in the Root's Headquarters, received this great news...
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
"The Hokage's position is finally mine!!"
Clutching the appointment document, Danzo threw his head back and laughed wildly.
The Root's member next to him had happy look on his face, and he stepped forward to bow and flatter Danzo, "Congratulations, Danzo-sama, on becoming the Acting Hokage!"
Pufffttt…
Danzo walked up to the Root's member with a cold face, then decisively took out his kunai and stabbed this idiot to the death. Then, he glanced at everyone present and said coldly, "Hmph!!"
"It's the Hokage!"
"Someone, drag this corpse away!"
"Yes! Hokage-sama!"
The crowd immediately called Danzo as the Hokage. After what had just happened, no one dared to shout the word 'acting' anymore.
Danzo closed his eyes slightly, basking in the cheers of his subordinates.
His lifelong ambition…
He didn't expect for it be realized today!!
At this moment, Danzo really wanted to say something to his deceased old friend...
'Hiruzen! Now, I am the Hokage!!'
