Hokage: Ryo’s Path - Chapter 369

[Chapter 366 Welcome]

“Grandpa, what’s wrong with you?” Konoha Maru, who was playing, saw the tears in the eyes of the three generations of Hokage.

Konoha Maru is 6 years old this year, and since Konoha Maru has shown extraordinary talent, the people of the Sarutobi family are very excited about it.

Konoha Maru is the grandson of the three generations of Hokage, and his roots are red. Coupled with such a strong talent, there is a great possibility of inheriting the position of Hokage in the future.

Once Konoha Maru succeeds Hokage, it will usher in an opportunity for the Sarutobi family to become stronger.

Therefore, the Sarutobi family intends to tilt the family’s resources to Konoha Maru, so that their grandson can become stronger, and the three generations of Hokage can also be seen.

Hearing Konoha Maru’s words, the three generations of Hokage wiped away tears and said with a smile: “Grandpa is fine, just remembering some things from the past, Konoha Maru, will Grandpa take you to someone who is very important to you?”

“A particularly important person? Who is it?” Konoha Maru asked with a look of interest.

“Her name is Tsunade, she is Grandpa’s disciple, and the greatest female ninja in Konoha.”

Hearing that Tsunade is Konoha’s greatest ninja, Konoha Maru immediately became interested: “I’m going, I’m going!”

“Okay, then let’s go together.” Said the three generations of Hokage, picked up Konoha Maru, and walked towards the entrance of the village.

At the same time, Tsunade and his party had already arrived near Konoha Village, looking in the direction of the village, they could already see Hokage Rock.

Maybe it was because of the timidity of being close to the hometown, Tsunade stopped and looked at the village in the distance.

At that time, Tsunade was devastated by the death of her younger brother and lover. Later, she found out that someone had manipulated the death of her younger brother. Since then, Tsunade was completely disappointed with the village and left Konoha with Mute.

After many years, when she returned to Konoha again, Tsunade still couldn’t forget what happened back then, but she was still full of nostalgia for the village where she grew up.

After standing there for a long time, Tsunade took a deep breath, his eyes became firm, and he took the lead in walking towards the village.

At this time, at the entrance of Konoha Village, a large number of villagers and ninjas have gathered, and they are constantly looking into the distance, hoping to see Tsunade.

A few minutes later, a ninja who looked to be in his 40s or 50s pointed to the distance and shouted excitedly: “Tsunate-sama is there, I see her!”

Everyone followed his guidance and looked into the distance.

“It’s really Tsunade-sama!”

“Yeah, Tsunade-sama is finally back after so many years!”

The older generation of ninjas fought with blood on the battlefield of the Second Ninja World War. At that time, their strongest backing was Tsunade. It can be said that more than half of the older ninjas present were rescued by Tsunade.

When Tsunade left, there was an uproar in the village, and it was these people who couldn’t accept it the most.

After many years, Tsunade finally returned to Konoha, how could they not be excited?

“Master Tsunade!”

“Master Tsunade!”

……

The villagers and the ninjas shouted Tsunade’s name together. Tsunade got closer and closer to the village, and the voices of the villagers and ninjas became more and more clear.

Walking to the entrance of the village, Tsunade looked at the familiar faces in front of him with mixed feelings.

These people are all comrades-in-arms who have experienced life and death together with her, and now they are all in their 50s.

Looking at the excited expressions of everyone, Tsunade’s emotions were also infected, and the tension that had been tense was relaxed: “Everyone, I’m back!”

“Tsunade, welcome home!” A familiar voice from the crowd caught Tsunade’s attention.

Tsunade raised his head and saw the third Hokage with white hair.

Tsunade’s memory of the three generations of Hokage has always stayed when she left Konoha. At that time, the three generations of Hokage were full of high spirits and worthy of the name of Shinobi, but now the three generations of Hokage make Tsunade feel extremely uncomfortable.

Tsunade’s eyes were a little red, she held back her tears and said to the three generations of Hokage: “Old man, how are you doing?”

“It’s good! After I retire, I don’t have to worry so much. I have my grandson to accompany me. Come on, Konoha Maru, she is Tsunade, don’t you want to see her?”

Only then did Tsunade notice Konoha Maru in the arms of the third Hokage.

After teasing Konoha Maru for a while, Tsunade and Yamanaka Ryo entered the village.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw a beautiful woman with red hair and a child of about 10 years old, looking at her with a smile.

“Kushina!” Tsunade recognized at a glance who the red-haired woman was.

Kushina is a clan of Uzumaki Mito. Since Kushina came to Konoha, she has been growing up beside Uzumaki Mito, so Tsunade and Kushina are also very close.

“Sister Tsunade, long time no see!” Kushina waved and greeted Tsunade.

“Well, Kushina! Long time no see!” Tsunade said with a smile.

After the two chatted for a while, Tsunade pointed to Naruto next to Kushina and asked, “Kushina, is this your son and Minato?”

“Well, his name is Uzumaki Naruto! Now he’s studying at Ninja School.”

“Going to school? I guess his grades are not very good. At least his grades in culture classes must be bad. After all, his mother is not a good student.”

Kushina’s face instantly turned red: “Sister Tsunade, how can you say such a thing in front of Naruto!”

“Haha! Don’t talk about that, let’s go in!”

That night, Tsunade and Yamanaka Ryo went to the Hatake family together to meet Hatake Sakumo.

In the living room of the Hatake family, the three of them sat cross-legged. Hatake Sakumo asked with a smile, “Tsunade, are you okay after not seeing each other for so many years?”

“After leaving the village for so long, I don’t have to worry about these things, life is quite comfortable. It’s Sakumo-senpai, who has been acting as Hokage’s agent for so many years, and he’s getting bored!”

Hatake Sakumo said helplessly: “Hey, there’s no way, Minato is not here, that guy Orochimaru has run away, you and Jirai are also outside, it’s unreliable, who else can be this Hokage except me?”

“Thank you for your hard work, Sakumo-senpai.” Tsunade said a little embarrassedly.

Hatake Sakumo waved his hand and said, “Okay, let’s not talk about that, what are you doing when you come back this time?”

“For the specifics, you should ask this kid! When I returned to the village this time, I was entrusted by this kid and Minato to help support me.”

Hatake Sakumo frowned and asked, “Support? What are you and Minato thinking about?”

“It’s like this, Minato-san intends to help the branch of the Hyuga family get out of the control of the clan.”

After that, Yamanaka Ryo and Hatake Sakumo explained the situation.

“Yuan, I don’t object to this matter, but don’t be too hasty. I think you all know how important the Hyuga family is to the village. If something happens, it will have a great impact on the village.”

“Well, I know, Uncle Sakumo, don’t worry, we’ve determined that the Hyuga Clan has a way to free the caged bird, and it’s not difficult to get this method if Shishui is there.”

Hatake Sakumo nodded and said, “Well, it’s good that you have an idea.”
