Che came to Tsunade's side in an instant and stretched out a hand to hold Tsunade's shoulders.

"Tsunade-sama?"

Che saw Tsunade covering her eyes with both hands and thought that she was overworked.

But Tsunade's chakra was still abundant, and she had no injuries. There was a sufficient reserve of chakra in the Yin Seal.

There should be no reason for Tsunade to feel unwell.

"Blood..."

Tsunade's lips opened slightly and she uttered a word with difficulty.

"Blood?"

Che was a little unsure about the word he heard. He looked back and saw the blood under the body of the seriously injured person he had just cured.

With Che's brain, he immediately guessed that Tsunade's reaction might be related to her previous experience in the war.

"I guess the news that Tsunade is afraid of blood is confidential information in the village. No wonder I didn't know it before."

"It seems that it makes sense that Tsunade never appeared on the front battlefield during the Ninja War."

Che didn't take advantage of Tsunade for too long, and immediately said to the medical ninjas around him: "Tsunade-sama over-consumed chakra to treat the wounded in the village. Now she is unwell. You should take Tsunade-sama to rest."

Soon, several medical ninjas came forward to help Tsunade into the hospital to rest.

Tsunade was in a low state just now, and her voice was low. Only Che, who was closest, could hear it.

So these medical ninjas did not doubt Che's words.

Fortunately, the treatment of the wounded has been almost completed. Tsunade's remaining chakra supported the many split slugs on the scene for a while, and Che's focused treatment.

It didn't take much time, and all the wounded gathered in the open space of Konoha Hospital were treated.

All members recovered, and no one was injured.

The medical crisis in the village was successfully resolved.

The medical ninjas in the hospital came forward to express their gratitude to Che.

"Uchiha Che, thank you for your help!"

"Your medical ninjutsu is simply superb. You can even regenerate severed limbs. It's amazing!"

"Thank you for bringing Lady Tsunade!"

Che greeted these medical ninjas, "It's okay, it's all I should do."

"As a member of Konoha, I have the ability to heal, so I should help you."

At this time, Che sensed a breath coming out of the Konoha Hospital.

"Hokage-sama."

As Che spoke first, everyone turned to the entrance of the Konoha Hospital and saw the third-generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen coming out of the hospital.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was still wearing a black combat uniform, and his uniform was dusty and his face was tired.

As the third-generation Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to run around when Konoha was in this crisis.

Even though the Nine-Tails had been sealed, settling the Jinchūriki, comforting the people, and inspecting the wounded were all the sources of Sarutobi Hiruzen's energy consumption.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was no longer young, and what he experienced that night made him a little overwhelmed, but he forced himself not to show it in front of everyone.

"You are all great. It is you who minimized the casualties caused by the Nine-Tails Rebellion. As the Hokage of Konoha, I thank you on behalf of the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out of the hospital and bowed to everyone.

Everyone responded.

"Hokage-sama, you have worked hard!"

"I don't deserve it! This is our duty!"

"Hokage-sama is our Konoha's greatest hero."

Che also said a few good words, while observing Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not shirk the praise from everyone.

Che immediately guessed that Sarutobi Hiruzen was re-consolidating his prestige in the village.

"The will of fire is everlasting! Although our Konoha has suffered this disaster, we will definitely be reborn from the ashes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen started a speech on the will of fire at the entrance of the hospital.

Although it was still a cliché, Che admitted that after Konoha had experienced such a disaster, it did need a person to speak up and calm people's hearts.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had served as Hokage for many years, was undoubtedly the best candidate to calm people's hearts.

"...Okay, everyone has been tired all night, so there is no need to listen to me, an old man, nagging anymore. Let's all go and rest."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech ended, and everyone dispersed after receiving instructions.

"Che, wait a minute."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with his hands behind his back.

Che took the initiative to approach Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama."

"Will you walk with me, an old man, for a while?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Che with a kind smile on his face, and the wrinkles at the end of his eyes were very obvious.

Che smiled brightly, showing his white teeth: “It’s my honor."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not very tall, and he was even shorter when the two walked side by side.

The two walked out of the hospital, and Che's steps were always half a beat slower than Sarutobi Hiruzen, following the direction of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"This night, Konoha really went through too much."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the large areas of ruins in Konoha Village, shook his head and sighed.

"Yeah, that mastermind is so abominable."

"The mastermind? Sure enough, this Nine-Tails Rebellion was man-made. Do you know the information behind it?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a little surprise.

"Not sure." Che shook his head, "But I fought with the mastermind, but unfortunately I couldn't keep him. He claimed to be Uchiha Madara."

"Uchiha Madara! No, it's impossible, Uchiha Madara is dead..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head, and he remembered some things from the past.

Uchiha Madara attacked the village with the Nine-Tails, and was defeated by the first Hokage Senju Hashirama. The Nine-Tails was sealed, and Uchiha Madara himself was stabbed to death by Senju Hashirama.

Uchiha Madara's body was preserved by Tobirama for research, but later disappeared mysteriously.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew about this.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.

After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head.

"No matter whether the mastermind behind the scenes is Uchiha Madara, he is the enemy of Konoha and even the entire ninja world."

"Faced with such internal and external troubles, Konoha's top priority now is to find the next Hokage who is as good as Minato to take on the heavy responsibility."

"Che, I think you are very suitable. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Che, as if he really wanted Che to become the next Hokage.

But Che didn't believe it at all.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was no less afraid of Uchiha than other Konoha high-ranking officials, but he rarely showed it.

"I'm still too young and don't have the ability to take on the job of protecting a village."

Che decisively and modestly said that he couldn't be Hokage.

"But I recommend Tsunade-sama, she just saved many wounded people in Konoha and fainted from exhaustion. In addition to the title of Sannin, I think Tsunade-sama is enough to take on the important task of the fifth Hokage."
