Crossover: The Strongest Uchiha, the Ninja World is in Turmoil!

Page 291

Tsunade noticed Kawasaki staring intently at the photo, unsure of his thoughts.

Given Kawasaki's age, he was just born when Kato Dan passed away, so the two should have had no connection.

"I was just about to look for you. What happened in Konoha?"

Tsunade asked the question.

Tsunade had a habit of going to the casino every day, so it was easy for the Third Hokage to find her.

She was particularly disappointed with how the Third Hokage had handled Danzo's matter a long time ago, so she had no intention of seeing the Third Hokage at all.

Therefore, even when the Third Hokage sent someone to deliver a message, Tsunade only glanced at it casually and showed no interest.

But the Third Hokage has been trying to mend his relationship with Tsunade.

So the task of delivering messages has never stopped.

Today, just as Tsunade was about to go out and play a few games, another message arrived from the Anbu.

It is said that today the Third Hokage arranged another honorary elder position for the Uchiha clan, and also invited Orochimaru to help heal Itachi and Fugaku's eyes.

The Anbu even brought Tsunade the appointment letter for the honorary elder, so she could pass it on to Kawasaki.

Tsunade had completely lost interest in gambling and only wanted to know what had happened.

When she returned to the village and heard that Kawasaki had gone to Itachi's place, she waited at the hospital, preparing to meet him later.

"I was tricked by Orochimaru."

Kawasaki sighed and briefly explained the situation to Tsunade.

"So, the old man is using the title of honorary elder to win you over?"

Tsunade was a little confused. The position of honorary elder didn't have much power, but it wasn't insignificant either.

But the honorary elders can only offer suggestions; they are still being suppressed by the advisory elders and the Hokage above them.

For the Uchiha clan, which has already established its own independent entity, they neither rely on Konoha for their livelihood nor expect to develop within Konoha.

·····Requesting flowers·········

The position of honorary elder is like a chicken rib—tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away—it's not very useful.

..

Kawasaki chuckled lightly. This thing might really be useless in other people's hands.

But he has a way of making it valuable.

However, he didn't rush to answer Tsunade's question.

Instead, she asked, "Tsunade, if the Uchiha and Konoha ever clash, whose side will you be on?"

Tsunade's heart skipped a beat, and she stared at Kawasaki with a serious expression.

Seeing that Kawasaki's face was calm, he patiently waited for her answer.

Tsunade then began to seriously consider it.

Her gaze swept over the photograph, recalling her lover who longed to become Hokage but tragically died young.

I think of Rope Tree, who was even younger but also met his end.

......................

"I will never let anyone destroy Konoha."

Tsunade's words were firm and resolute. Konoha carried the fruits of her two grandfathers' labor, and she would never allow it to be destroyed.

Kawasaki's expression remained calm.

He pressed further, asking, "What if Konoha wanted to wipe out the Uchiha?"

Tsunade looked around and thought of the villagers' prejudice against the Uchiha.

Then I thought of Kawasaki's character and Naruto's carefree smile.

She shook her head firmly and said:

"I will never allow Konoha to destroy the Uchiha clan."

Kawasaki lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I understand."

Tsunade frowned and said, "Kawasaki, what are your plans? Tell me about them."

A mutually destructive conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha clan is not a good outcome.

Kawasaki looked up and smiled, saying:

"Lady Tsunade, do you think I'm capable of becoming the Fifth Hokage?"

Tsunade was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth; Kawasaki had never shown any interest in the Hokage throne before.

Does the sun come out in the west today?

"You really want to become Hokage?"

Tsunade asked with a hint of doubt.

Kawasaki laughed and said, "How could that be? What's so great about being Hokage?"

"but..."

Kawasaki then changed the subject.

"The Third Hokage has been in that position for too long, and his thinking has become rigid."

"His prejudice against the Uchiha is deeply ingrained. Unless you become Hokage, the conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha is unsolvable."

Tsunade was completely bewildered by Kawasaki's wildly imaginative ideas.

I can't tell which of his statements are true and which are false.

Helpless, he said, "Kawasaki, what exactly do you want? I have no interest in the Hokage position."

"However, as long as you don't intend to fight Konoha head-on, I have no objection to you wanting to run for Hokage." (Hiro)

Kawasaki shrugged and said, "Don't worry, I promise I won't let the Uchiha clash with Konoha."

"However, you should be prepared that your teacher might not be as kind and approachable as they seem..."

Kawasaki's words, spoken halfway through, served as a preemptive warning about future methods.

Tsunade was silent for a moment, then waved her hand wearily and said, "I understand."

Kawasaki didn't say anything more, waved, and left the hospital.

..

On this battlefield in the Land of Water.

Ever since Killer Bee unleashed a Tailed Beast Ball last time...

Kirigakure abandoned its plan for a full-scale assault and instead launched continuous, tentative attacks with small-scale forces.

However, Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails, never appeared again.

According to Mei's assessment, Killer Bee's injuries are probably not fully healed yet, otherwise he wouldn't have only used the Tailed Beast Ball once without fighting himself.

Mei Terumi is determined to carry out a night raid this time.

We have to take down the "967" Cloud Village's base tonight, no matter what.

Thus, Mei Terumi led thirty of Kirigakure's top fighters, along with Kisame and other companions, and marched in a grand procession toward the Cloud Village's stronghold.

"Watch your step!"

Qing whispered a reminder: "There's a Seven Treasures Talisman mechanism about ten steps ahead."

"The trigger method is to activate the system by crossing the threshold."

As he spoke, Qing led the team around to the side, leaving two team members behind to dismantle the mechanism before catching up.

To avoid causing trouble for my family on the way back.

With the help of Ao's Byakugan and the assistance of several other sensory ninjas, they led Mei Terumi and the others through a maze of turns, finally managing to traverse an area filled with Seven Treasure Talisman traps.

"Lord Mizukage, something feels off. We haven't seen a single person from Kumogakure along the way."

Kisame Hoshigaki, carrying his precious Samehada on his back, said with a furrowed brow.

Kisame has been having a blast these past few days. Already an elite Jonin, and now wielding Samehada...

We don't have much time left, so we have to find out what's going on today no matter what.

In the past two days, Kisame Hoshigaki, Juzo Biwa, and Zabuza have really brought honor to Kirigakure and made great contributions.

This made Mei Terumi overjoyed, secretly grateful to the old master Feipu for sending back several talented individuals to Kirigakure.

Of the three, Kisame Hoshigaki is the most powerful, wielding Samehada with his chakra brimming.

When he makes a move, it's often a wide-range water escape technique; he's always at the forefront, leading the charge.

With Samehada's help, ordinary ninjutsu poses little threat to him.

If we're talking about who killed the most enemies, then Kisame is the one.

Unfortunately, Kisame Hoshigaki is no longer a member of Kirigakure, and judging from his attitude, he doesn't seem to have any intention of returning.

Mei Terumi could only plan to find another opportunity later.

The actions of the Cloud Village today were indeed somewhat strange, but according to intelligence from the sea, the main force of the Cloud Village will not arrive here for some time.

Mei Terumi made up her mind that she would at least eliminate or capture one of the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki tonight, no matter what.

Otherwise, Kirigakure would be in great danger.

We can't put all our eggs in one basket by relying on the leader of the Akatsuki.

The group quickly arrived at the camp established by the Hidden Cloud Village.

Qing rolled her eyes and peered inside.

"Lord Mizukage, there's no one inside. The members of Kumogakure aren't here."

Mei Terumi frowned and said, "Ao, check the beach for any traces of Kumogakure."
