Chương 131: Tsunade: That child was originally mine!

"I have already expressed my stance, and you should all understand that I will not harm that child."

"So now isn't it your turn to tell me some things you've been hiding?"

Yang Cheng's previous actions, coupled with the strange behavior of Hongdou and the others, made Tsunade even more certain that they were hiding something from her.

When Anko took out the secret order that the Third Hokage had left for Yang Cheng from her bosom, Tsunade finally showed a look of realization after reading it.

"Sarutobi-sensei actually gave such a top-secret mission to a kid who was still a genin."

"As expected, Sarutobi-sensei has gotten old; he actually did something so foolish. Now that he's dead, he's left me with a huge mess."

Hearing Tsunade's unreserved evaluation of the Third Hokage, Yamanaka Inoichi couldn't help but feel a toothache.

Tsunade is now the Fifth Hokage, so she can say whatever she wants. But even if the Third Hokage's previous actions were somewhat inappropriate, Yamanaka Inoichi certainly wouldn't dare to respond.

Red Bean, on the other hand, didn't care about any of this at all and nodded in a very straightforward manner, saying, "That's how it is. I finally managed to take on a disciple that I was very proud of, but the Third Hokage handed him over to Orochimaru."

Do you think I don't know how dangerous Orochimaru is?

Lady Tsunade also thinks the Third Hokage's order is absurd, right? In that case, could we immediately assemble a rescue team and bring Yang Cheng back?

Compared to the aging and corrupt Third Hokage, Anko found the newly appointed Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, much easier to deal with.

At least as the Fifth Hokage, Lady Tsunade is more humane, and unlike those old fogies from the past, she wouldn't sacrifice anything for the village.

Yang Cheng is indeed very strong, but whenever Anko thinks that he only came to Orochimaru's side because of her, she can't sleep at night.

During the Konoha Crush, she met her former mentor and developed the bizarre forbidden technique "Futo Tensei," even transforming her body into that of a woman.

When he fled Konoha, his arms were sealed by the Third Hokage. What if he develops the idea of using Yang Cheng as a new vessel?

Or what if Orochimaru, who is skilled at experimental manipulation, were to do something to her disciple's body?

"If that child were still in Miya, I would definitely rescind the secret order issued by the Third Hokage."

But now that he has infiltrated Orochimaru's camp, it would be dangerous for him to return rashly. Moreover, we currently know nothing about Orochimaru's whereabouts, so sending a rescue team is not a practical approach.

"If we really want to rescue them from Orochimaru, then the rescue team we send should at least be Jonin level. Do you think Konoha has that kind of extra fighting power right now?"

Hearing Tsunade's words, Anko also showed a dejected expression.

She was also well aware that Tsunade's words were not a push. After Orochimaru and Sunagakure invaded Konoha, although they eventually repelled the enemy, Konoha Village also suffered heavy losses.

Not only did the Third Hokage, who was the backbone of the organization, die, but many other ninjas also died in this battle. However, because they were not as important as the Third Hokage, they were never mentioned.

Sunagakure is so poor that all they have is sand. War reparations are out of the question. If they really push the other side too far, they might resort to desperate measures and end up fighting to the death.

Post-war Konoha needs to be rebuilt, and the families of the dead ninjas need compensation; all of these require money.

Therefore, there are hardly any Konoha ninjas who are idle recently.

Kakashi and the other Jonin were working non-stop on various missions in order to help Konoha return to normal as soon as possible.

"Although I haven't had much contact with that brat Yang Cheng, I think he's very clever. Orochimaru also trusts him quite a bit, so I don't need to worry about his safety for the time being."

Furthermore, Orochimaru has always been an unstable factor, but now that Yang Cheng is providing information, we can feel more at ease.

When they came out of the Hokage Building, both Yamanaka Inoichi and Anko breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from Tsunade's attitude towards Yang Cheng, it's not hard to see that she's not the kind of person who would discard someone after they've served their purpose.

Although she couldn't get Yang Cheng back to Konoha immediately, Tsunade promised them that she would notify them to go to the rescue as soon as she received news of Orochimaru.

On the other hand, after bringing Tsunade back with Jiraiya, Naruto and Sakura went to Konoha Hospital to visit Itachi Uchiha's younger brother.

Years later, when she encountered Itachi Uchiha again, she not only failed to get revenge, but was also pinned against the wall and mocked by her beloved older brother.

Moreover, the abused Sasuke, who was already in a state of depression, suddenly heard Naruto say that Yoshinori was now by Orochimaru's side, which rekindled his desire for power.

Naruto is now training with Jiraiya, which Nisuke initially didn't think much of.

It was only after witnessing Itachi and Kisame turn and run away upon seeing Jiraiya that Nisuke realized that the old pervert Naruto had mentioned was not so simple.

Naruto had only been training with the other for a short time, yet he had already mastered the Summoning Jutsu and the Rasengan. His rapid growth had clearly damaged Sasuke's already fragile self-esteem.

Moreover, upon encountering Itachi again, Nisuke realized that at his current rate of growth, it would be a long time before he could take revenge.

To kill Itachi Uchiha, one must acquire strength surpassing his!

Such power is beyond Kakashi's capabilities, especially considering that he was bedridden for a week after encountering Itachi Uchiha.

Jiraiya, who taught Naruto, possessed the strength to frighten away the Uchiha clan, and was clearly stronger than him.

However, the other party refused to teach him, saying that Kakashi was more suitable to guide his training.

Sasuke was naturally resentful about this, as he had already exhausted all the knowledge Kakashi could teach him.

Although the opponent possessed the Sharingan, he was not a true member of the Uchiha clan, and his Sharingan techniques were nowhere near comparable to Itachi's.

Furthermore, if Kakashi were that powerful, he wouldn't have been defeated by Itachi in a single move.

To defeat the Uchiha, one must obtain power greater than Kakashi's, and the thought of such power makes Sasuke reach for the "Heavenly Curse Seal" on the back of his neck.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya were both among the "Legendary Sannin of Konoha," which means that the other party also possessed considerable, or even greater, strength.

Jiraiya was able to frighten Itachi Uchiha, so Orochimaru should be no weaker than Itachi.

It was because of this idea that when the Sound Four infiltrated Konoha and found Sasuke, he not only did not resist, but even cooperated quite well.

Yang Cheng and Naruto could seek guidance from the legendary Sannin of Konoha, so why couldn't Sasuke Uchiha do the same?

That night, Sakura, the goddess of pure love, collapsed to the ground, while Naruto, the simp, kept his promise to his goddess to bring back his best friend, so he led a group of friends in pursuit.
