He provided a method for training Observation Haki to his close friends and family, such as Mikoto, Hikari, Kushina, Tsunade, and Minato.

“Sakumo-senpai has made so many contributions to Konoha, so of course I should do my part.”

Shiranui Sho smiled and said this, then took her leave.

Sakumo Hatake stood there, holding the scroll in his hand, still somewhat dazed.

What does it mean to have made so many contributions to Konoha?

That tone... are you the Naruto?

Chapter 216 Tsunade-sama, I Need You

The undercurrents in Konoha subsided quietly, replaced by an open uproar.

The scandals and crimes of Konoha's high-ranking officials, including Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, and their families, are fully exposed.

The conversation that took place on the roof of the Hokage Building that day was witnessed by countless Konoha residents and ninjas.

Furthermore, Hiruzen Sarutobi's final self-reflection and promise of severe punishment left no doubt about the authenticity of these crimes.

Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer dared to protect his clan, and the Sarutobi clan was now on the list of those to be dealt with.

However, because families like the Yushi Village clan were in front of them, they were relatively less conspicuous.

Furthermore, since Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, took his promise seriously and launched a thorough investigation with swift and decisive action, he managed to salvage some of his reputation.

Unfortunately, the label of negligence and incompetence is something that can never be shaken off.

Konoha, Tsunade family.

"You were certainly decisive; you actually killed Danzo and the other two?"

Tsunade put the sake into her mouth, her fair cheeks flushed pink, and she raised an eyebrow.

She was slightly tipsy, and being at home, she was more unrestrained than usual.

Her neckline was slightly open, revealing the cleavage of her chest, and a delicate, fair foot rested on the chair, its nails neatly manicured.

"They wanted to kill me, so naturally they had to pay the price."

Shiranui Sho smiled calmly and did not linger on the topic.

He looked intently at Tsunade, "Now all obstacles have been cleared. Soon I will become the Fourth Hokage and bring a brand new look to Konoha!"

"In the new Konoha, I need your strength!"

He didn't know if, given his existence, Tsunade would leave Konoha shortly after Mito's death, just like in the original story.

But he should at least have made his stance clear at this point.

"Do you need me?"

Tsunade's cheeks burned under that intense gaze, and her eyes darted away.

Thinking of her current situation, her eyes dimmed again. "How can I help you?"

Her medical ninjutsu, which she was so proud of, and her strength at the quasi-Kage level, are now unable to be fully utilized due to her hemophobia.

In contrast, Shiranui Sho's strength has even surpassed that of the Third Hokage, and she seems unable to provide any assistance to him.

Shiranui Sou is a rising star in the ninja world.

And she seems to have already...

"Hemophobia is treatable; there's always a solution."

Shiranui Sou moved closer and said gently.

If the ninja world cannot find a solution, he can simply seek help from other worlds.

The world of Death is filled with doctors of extraordinary medical skills, and in the future, there will also be advanced modern medicine.

Hemophobia is by no means an insurmountable problem.

"Moreover, even if you're not on the front lines, you can still be a reliable consultant."

Shiranui Sho continued, "I will be introducing some... foreign technologies in the future. Konoha's medical system needs to be reformed accordingly, and this task is naturally your responsibility."

"In addition, there is one more important point."

Shiranui Sho grasped Tsunade's slender hand, her gaze fixed on her.

"There aren't many people in Konoha whom I completely trust, and Lady Tsunade is one of them!"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's pupils contracted, and her ears turned completely red.

Her other hand, which was gently holding the sake cup, trembled slightly, and a little agar syrup spilled onto her pale skin at her collar.

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the excitement in her heart, but a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

"In that case, let me see what the 'new Konoha' looks like."

"Also, why are you still calling me Tsunade-sama? In a while, won't it be my turn to call you Hokage-sama?"

Tsunade's cheeks flushed slightly, and her beautiful eyes held a hint of teasing amusement.

"In that case, we should cherish this time of calling her 'Tsunade-sama' even more."

"Right? Tsunade-sama..."

A slightly aggressive smile appeared on Shiranui Xiao's lips, causing Tsunade's smile to freeze.

"Wait, Kushina is still upstairs..."

Shiranui Sho leaned forward, silencing Tsunade's last words.

Tsunade's body gradually softened, and her hands wrapped around Shiranui Sho's neck.

More than ten minutes later, footsteps sounded from outside the door.

Kushina, carrying several bundles of scrolls, walked lightly from the next room into Tsunade's living room.

Looking at Shiranui Sho, who was smiling and in a good mood on the sofa, and Tsuna, who was sipping sake with her head down and her cheeks flushed, she blinked.

"Kushina, have you found everything?"

Before Kushina could speak, Tsunade preemptively struck, as if afraid that the other party would notice something was amiss.

"Yes, the information about sealing techniques has all been compiled here."

Kushina's voice was slightly lower, "But Tsunade-nee, if I take these, you..."

"Don't worry about those things."

Tsunade interrupted her, "These are the property of the Uzumaki clan, and they are also what your grandmother left you."

Kushina's eyes flickered slightly, and she finally nodded emphatically, "Yes."

Her gaze fell on Shiranui Sho, her cute face displaying a resolute expression:

"Xiao, once I have fully mastered the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, please help me with the training of controlling the Nine-Tails' chakra!"

She knew that Shiranui Sou would not try to restrict her personal freedom like Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo did.

However, she did not want to cause trouble for Shiranui Sho because of her own weakness.

Only by mastering the power of the Nine-Tails can she ignore those who covet its power and better help Xiao!

Upon hearing this, Shiranui Sho paused slightly, then a faint smile appeared on her lips. "Alright."

He was of course aware of the girl's feelings.

In fact, he has been making preparations for this recently.

However, some things really can't be rushed.

On one hand, Kushina's sealing techniques are clearly far inferior to Mito Uzumaki's, and she needs to improve them further.

On the other hand, helping Kushina master the Nine-Tails' power might depend on Uchiha Hikaru's eye power.

Orochimaru's Wood Release experiment is about to yield results, but of course, we'll have to wait until the side effects of her Mangekyou Sharingan are resolved.

……

Konoha Gate

A burly figure with white hair and red marks painted below his eyes slowly stepped through the door.

"Lord Jiraiya!"

The two ninjas guarding the gate straightened up instantly and saluted him.

Jiraiya stopped and carefully asked, "Um... how's the situation in the village now?"

The two ninjas exchanged a glance, their expressions a mixture of anger and excitement.

"Shimura Danzo, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu have committed countless evil deeds!"

"However, they have already been righteously executed by Lord Shiranui Sho!"

"Uh……"

Jiraiya's mouth gaped open.

One of the ninjas continued, "Right now, the Hokage is thoroughly investigating the clans behind them, and people who have committed crimes are being punished every day!"

"...I see."

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the old man was still alive.

Fortunately, it seems that Xiao didn't go too far.

Chapter 217 concludes here! A new world?

Of course, Jiraiya couldn't be so heartless as to be completely immersed in the gentle charms of Tanabata Town, oblivious to everything else.

In fact, he had been worried about the situation in Konoha day and night during this period.

As Shiranui Sho's teacher, he was well aware of his student's murderous nature.

Previously, the actions of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and others had undoubtedly thoroughly enraged Sora Shiranui.

To be honest, no matter what perspective you take, he cannot fairly and objectively advise Shiranui Sho to be tolerant.

After all, with a knife to their throat, wouldn't it be cowardice to keep tolerating this?

But ironically, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was his teacher.

Speaking of which, some changes have indeed occurred since the old man became Hokage.

The bond between teachers and students may fade, but it will not disappear completely.

Caught in the middle, so conflicted...

"Ugh……"

Jiraiya sighed, thanked the two ninjas guarding the gate, and strode into Konoha.

He walked forward several dozen meters, looking dazed because he was preoccupied with his thoughts.

However, he soon stopped again, looking up in surprise.

While pondering matters concerning his students, he happened to bump into another student.

In his field of vision, Minato Namikaze was holding a stack of flyers and sticking them on a bulletin board not far from the entrance to Konoha.

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow. "...Minato, what's going on here?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Minato paused slightly, turned around, and showed a look of joy.

"Jiraiya-sensei, you're back!"

"Minato, what are you doing...?"

Jiraiya strode forward, his gaze scanning the notice board with curiosity, but he stopped himself from speaking.

There was no need to ask any further questions; he had already clearly seen the text on the newly posted notice on the bulletin board…

After a cursory glance, Jiraiya's eyes widened suddenly, and then he looked back at the beginning and read it again, word by word.

After confirming that he hadn't misread it, his face instantly darkened.

Jiraiya's confusion and inner turmoil transformed into anger and murderous intent. "Minato, are all these things true?"
