Lord God Investigator

In a restaurant on Tanshu Street, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Tsunade sat face to face. Sitting next to Tsunade was a surprised Shizune, who was holding her pet pig Dorothy in her arms.

"Fire...Hokage-sama..." Shizune stammered: "Why did you come here? Could it be that...the creditors went to Konoha to collect debts?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!"

Tsunade glared at Shizune and said with a guilty conscience: "Teacher, if someone really goes to Konoha to collect debts, just say you don't know me..."

It is also very easy to find Tsunade in Tanshu Street. Just ask any merchant where the big-breasted female goddess of wealth is, and you will get the answer immediately.

Sarutobi Hiruzen soon found Tsunade in a gambling house who was devastated by her loss, and called her to the hotel to discuss the matter.

"I am no longer the Hokage." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hands with a wry smile, and then said with a bit of humiliation: "If someone really comes to collect debts, no matter how much money you owe, Konoha will be able to pay it back."

In the past year or so, Konoha's financial revenue has increased more than ten times, and Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally has the confidence to say so.

"Teacher, have you retired?"

Tsunade was stunned and asked: "Then who will be the Hokage in Konoha now? It won't be Danzo, right?"

Although Tsunade seems to show she doesn't care about Konoha, the deepest bond in her heart is unbreakable. Konoha is the ninja village founded by her grandfather, and her younger brother and lover all sacrificed for Konoha.

Tsunade didn't want to go back because she was afraid of being touched by the scene and thinking of sad things, not because she didn't love Konoha.

"Don't worry, how can I make Danzo get his wish?" Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled: "However, you probably can't guess who the Fifth Hokage will be."

"Hatake Kakashi?" The impatient Tsunade really started to guess.

Sarutobi smiled and shook his head.

"It can't be that guy with a brain problem from Metro, right? His being Hokage would be worse than Danzo being Hokage!"

Sarutobi nodded in agreement: "Of course it can't be Metro. I'm old, but I'm not stupid yet! Stop guessing, Jiraiya, the fifth generation Hokage, has been appointed."

"Huh -" Tsunade was taken aback, with a look of disbelief on her face: "That guy is actually willing to take over as Hokage?"

"Oh, it's a long story..." Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of cigarette and said in a sad tone: "If it weren't for his apprentice, I wouldn't be forced to retire, and he wouldn't be willing to take over the position of Hokage. "

Tsunade couldn't help but ask: "What on earth is going on?"

Tsunade lingered in the casino, but she never paid much attention to the news about Konoha. This was because whenever she heard the word Konoha, it would arouse her thoughts and think of her brother and lover who died tragically on the battlefield.

A medical ninja can actually suffer from hemophobia, which shows that Tsunade was so deeply traumatized that she kept secret everything about Konoha.

"The whole story, that's it..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen then described how Naruto rose like a comet, how he secretly showed war tendencies, how he noticed the ANBU's secret arrest operation, abducted Sasuke, another young shadow-level ninja in the village, and stole the Hokage's house. He told Tsunade everything about how he robbed Konoha Prison and escaped from the village to become a rebel ninja.

Tsunade couldn't comment on the rights and wrongs of both parties for a while, but she understood Jiraiya's mood in agreeing to be Hokage, probably because of self-blame.

"Naruto and Sasuke are both rare geniuses."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took another heavy drag on his cigarette and said in despair: "If you compare the geniuses that have appeared in Konoha, Naruto is like Uchiha Shisui... but his concepts are completely different from Shisui's. Sasuke is like His older brother Uchiha Itachi, but his sense of belonging to Konoha is much weaker..."

Konoha is rich in geniuses. Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi are young Kage-level ninjas. They became famous at a young age and had amazing talents. However, one of them was forced to commit suicide by Danzo, and the other was forced to betray Konoha. Their situation was very different. Desolate, it seems that persecuting Kage-level teenagers is also a glorious tradition of Konoha Village.

"I don't want to be like Danzo and be known as a persecutor of geniuses." Hiruzen Sarutobi said sincerely: "Tsunade, for the sake of my old face, please do me a favor..."

"Sarutobi-sensei, it's not that I don't want to help you."

Tsunade hugged her big breasts, lowered her head and muttered: "According to your description, those two little devils are not ordinary. Not to mention that my illness has not been cured, even if I can exert my full strength, I may not be theirs." How can your opponent help you bring them back to Konoha?"

"No..." Sarutobi shook his head and said, "Those two children already have prejudices against Konoha. Anyone sent there at this time will be regarded as arresting them. On the contrary, it will arouse rebellious psychology, and maybe even persuade them. Those who fought violently."

Tsunade frowned and said, "Teacher, what do you want me to do?"

"Recent news came from Tian Country that Naruto established an organization called 'Young Pioneers' at the former site of Sound Ninja Village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "I don't know what earth-shattering thing Naruto is going to do, and I am very worried, but I want to send ANBU ninjas to sneak in to investigate, but I can't hide it from the clever Naruto. Several waves of ANBU ninjas who had sneaked into the country for investigation had been captured by him, but he didn't do anything harsh for the sake of his former fellow villagers, so he stripped off his clothes, knocked them unconscious, and left them on the border between the Land of Fields and the Land of Fire..."

"Teacher, you don't want me to sneak into the Sound Ninja Village to find out the news, do you?" Tsunade said dissatisfied: "I left Konoha before he was born. If I were caught by him, he wouldn't even know who I am. Who, he treats the Konoha ninja tolerantly, what if he hits me hard?"

"Tsunade, it's precisely because he has never seen you before and doesn't recognize your face that I came here to ask you for help."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a rather helpless tone: "Naruto's memory is very good. He can remember anyone who has ever had a chance encounter with him. On the day he betrayed Konoha, he stole the Hokage's house and left the secret room He read through all the ANBU rosters, and the result is that now he knows almost every Konoha ninja."

Tsunade suddenly realized that Naruto had never seen her face, and her photo was not stored in the file, so she didn't worry about being recognized by Naruto at a glance.

"I heard that when you were hiding from debts, you developed a unique transformation technique that allowed you to transform into your younger self."

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "That transformation technique uses the secret technique of the Senju clan to change the state of cells. It is different from ordinary transformation techniques in that it can be touched and is difficult to see through."

"Ahem, it's not about hiding from debt, it's about traveling!" Tsunade corrected awkwardly: "Teacher, I have been away from Konoha for so long, and you still know this."

"Every ninja in Konoha is like my child. Even if I leave Konoha, I will not ignore them."

Sarutobi showed a loving smile, took a puff of cigarette, and continued: "Naruto's organization is named after 'boy'. It is said that the core members of the organization are teenagers and girls. You can perform that kind of transformation technique. On the pretext of joining the organization, he went undercover in the Young Pioneers to help me supervise Naruto and notify me before he does something irreparable and terrible, so that he can be stopped in time."

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, bowed deeply to Tsunade solemnly, and asked: "For the safety of Konoha... no, for the peace of the ninja world, please!"
