Hokage, I am Neji

Konoha Village!

Jiraiya, one of the legendary 'Three Ninjas', returned to Konoha with Naruto after more than a year.

Because Tsunade was unable to perform the duties of the Fifth Hokage, Mito Menyan, who had completely retreated behind the scenes, had to come out again.

Seeing Mitomon Yan, Jiraiya, who was worried about Tsunade's safety, didn't have too many greetings, and asked Naruto to meet Shikamaru and the others first, and he followed Mitomon Yan to the medical department.

At this moment, the medical department is heavily guarded, and the over half dark department is guarding all around, and there are four elite jōnin who are on standby 24 hours a day.

Jiraiya walked into it anxiously, and came to the deepest part of the medical department, where Konoha's most elite medical ninjas were gathered here to stand by.

Stepping into the room and seeing Tsunade sitting in a wheelchair directing the medical ninjas, Jiraiya was also relieved immediately, letting go of the stone hanging in his heart.

He walked forward and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to see you like this again in this life. I thought I would never see you again, but you'd better return to your original state. It'll look better that way."

Although Tsunade is still conscious, her condition is really miserable. Her face is old, pale, and bloodless. Her chakra has been used to repair her injuries, and she doesn't even have chakra to maintain her youth.

Hearing the familiar voice, Tsunade turned her head, cut Jiraiya's eyes hard, and said: "You are still in the mood to laugh here, you have to see me die to be happy."

"If you die, even if I risk my life, I will kill Neji." The smile on Jiraiya's face disappeared and he said seriously: "I'm sorry, I'm not in the village at this critical moment."

A blush flashed across Tsunade's face, and he wondered if he was injured too badly, so he couldn't attack Jiraiya as usual.

All the medical ninjas next to me turned their heads away at the same time, with an expression that I didn't hear or see anything.

"cough!"

Seeing that the two of them are still in the mood to talk about love, Mito Monyan behind him couldn't help interrupting the two of them with a light cough. Even if the two of you want to talk, you can't do it at this time.

Tsunade's face returned to seriousness and she said: "Next, I will transplant Hashirama cells into Itachi Uchiha."

"Hashirama cells? That's not what Orochimaru is studying," Jiraiya was confused.

"Yes," Tsunade nodded and explained: "A year ago, we took over Orochimaru's stronghold at Tenchi Bridge and the 'Root' research institution, and obtained a lot of research information and physical objects about Hashirama cells." .

With that said, Tsunade looked at Uchiha Itachi, who was relying on medicine and chakra to maintain his last breath in the nutrition warehouse, and continued: "The power of the Mangekyo Sharingan is indeed very strong, but it also has powerful sequelae, Uchiha Itachi The vital energy and spiritual energy are almost exhausted.

The only way to save him now is to transplant his grandfather's cells. From Uchiha Obito, we learned that the grandfather's cells have some kind of close connection with the Uchiha clan.

In fact, as early as many years ago, the second grandfather began to study his grandfather's cells, as well as Uchiha Madara's body, and had many breakthroughs and achievements. Unfortunately, before he could use it, the second grandfather died in the hands of Yun Yin.

Combining the research results of Orochimaru and my second grandfather, over the past year or so, I have basically mastered the fusion of my grandfather's cells with the Uchiha clan.

But this alone is not enough. This process requires the intervention of a third party, which is natural energy. "

With that said, Tsunade made a move, and Shizune stepped forward, holding a sealed book half as tall as a person in his hand.

Under Jiraiya's confused gaze, Tsunade introduced: "Before he died, his second grandfather left a forbidden technique in the deepest part of the Book of Sealings. It cannot be viewed except by the Hokage of all generations. He wanted the Senju clan to be able to follow it. Like my grandfather, he forcibly absorbed natural energy into himself, and artificially created an immortal body similar to his grandfather."

A look of shock flashed across Jiraiya's face. He just learned how to control natural energy, so Jiraiya knew how difficult it is to control natural energy. So far, Mt. Miaomu has mastered the immortal mode no more than one hand. Now Mt. Miaomu still has many Turn into a stone statue of a toad.

The second generation of Hokage was able to think of using forbidden techniques to forcibly absorb natural energy. This courage and idea is admirable.

"Isn't this forbidden technique dangerous?" Jiraiya said suddenly.

"Yes, so far, many members of the Thousand Hands clan have died because of this, but no one has been able to do it."

Jilai also knew that the answer was this, if he succeeded, Konoha would not be the only one who mastered the natural energy.

Walking to the nutrition warehouse, looking at Itachi Uchiha who was immersed in the green liquid, Jiraiya asked the last question, "What is the success rate?"

"Even with your help, at most ten percent!"

This is Tsunade's most optimistic estimate. According to Tsunade's conservative estimate, the success rate is only 5.00%, which is one in [-].

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's get started!"

Only Shizune and Sakura were left to cooperate, Tsunade let the other medical ninjas go out, and ordered Anbu to guard the surrounding area.

Surgery is starting...

After a day and a night, Jiraiya and Tsunade left the room.

Both of them are very weak, Tsunade is even more so, and his appearance is getting older.

Jiraiya also asked Sakura to leave, he put a blanket on Tsunade, and pushed Tsunade to the roof of the Hokage Building.

The autumn style is very cool, blowing on the face, as if caressed by a pair of cool little hands.

"How long will it take for you to recover?" Jiraiya asked.

"It will take at least half a year. All the chakra I have stored over the years has been used up, and it is not even enough to repair the injuries."

As she said that, Tsunade showed a wry smile on her face. She hadn't suffered such a serious injury for decades.

Jiraiya frowned slightly. He didn't expect Tsunade to be so serious. "How strong is Neji now?"

"Even if the three of us join forces, there will only be one ending!"

The frown deepened, and Jiraiya regretted it now. If Neji had been killed during the Chunin exam more than a year ago, things would not have turned into what they are now.

The autumn wind was very cool, but it was still a bit cold, especially for Tsunade at this moment, she was about to lift the blanket up, and Jiraiya took off her red coat and gently draped it on Tsunade.

"Thanks!"

Tsunade raised his head slightly, and saw Jiraiya walking to the railing, looking at Konoha Village at dusk, shrouded in an orange-yellow sunset, the streets were crowded with people, and everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.

"Such a prosperous and peaceful village cannot be destroyed by Neji!"

His tone was calm, but revealed an unprecedented firmness.

"yes!"

The village under the dusk is so beautiful, Tsunade sighed with emotion, and his tone was equally firm.

After a pause, Tsunade suddenly said: "I'm going to make you the sixth Hokage, Jiraiya!"

Jiraiya was stunned and turned around with a smile: "I'm not..."

Before Jiraiya could finish what he said, Tsunade interrupted and said seriously: "I'm not joking, Jiraiya, Konoha is at its weakest at this stage.

I won't be able to move for half a year, and I don't know whether Itachi or Kakashi is alive or dead. Now, you are the only one in Konoha who has the strength and prestige to stabilize the morale of the army and become the Hokage. 7K妏揩

At this time, you have to stand up. "

The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and Jiraiya looked at the serious Tsunade, and after thinking about it, he nodded.

A smile appeared on Tsunade's face: "In three days, the Hokage inauguration ceremony will be held!"

"Three days, so fast?"

According to Konoha's Hokage succession procedure, Konoha must first select a successor to Hokage, and then notify the Fire Country daimyo, and only after the daimyo is confirmed can he become Hokage.

Three days to complete this is simply not enough.

"Teacher Koharu went to the capital to report on the name yesterday, and we should receive the news of the agreement tonight," Tsunade said with a confident smile.

If it were someone else, the Daimyo might still be suspicious, but if it was Jiraiya, one of the legendary 'Three Ninjas', the Daimyo would definitely not object.

"You...have been waiting for me for a long time..."
