Finally, as the sun slowly set and was about to disappear over the horizon, Yusuke and his group finally saw the village.

Yusuke looked particularly energetic in the brand new clothes that Tsunade had picked out especially for him.

He jumped out of Saruroki's arms nimbly, and after a brief conversation with Saruroki, he walked towards the Hokage Building with Tsunade and others.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked quickly towards Yusuke, his eyes full of concern. He stood in front of Yusuke, looking him up and down carefully, as if to confirm whether he was really safe.

Yusuke felt uncomfortable being stared at by Sarutobi Hiruzen so intently. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "Teacher, I'm really fine. Tsunade has treated me, and I'm not seriously injured."

"Hmph!" Tsunade snorted in dissatisfaction, "You are lucky this time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slightly and said softly: "Yusuke, what kind of opponent are you facing this time?"

Yusuke took a deep breath and pretended to recall the battle, then answered seriously, "His name is Kakuzu, he is very strong, both in taijutsu and ninjutsu."

He then described in detail the battle process with Kakuzu, and did not forget to use a pen to draw the appearance of the two Earth Grudges beside Kakuzu, so that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Tsunade could better understand.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became more solemn. He frowned and muttered to himself, "I can actually fight with the first generation..."

Tsunade was also shocked. Her grandfather, the great first Hokage, had passed away many years ago. She was a little bit surprised to hear from her lover that one of her grandfather's former enemies still looked like he was young.

"Moreover, he was able to remain unharmed after two consecutive attacks from me." Yusuke continued, "I believe that I had indeed killed him at that time, but he was able to stand up again and fight back both times."

"Are you sure?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up in shock and questioned Yusuke with wide eyes.

"Well, I suspect he may have mastered the secret technique of resurrection from the dead. Of course, the strangest thing is the mysterious creature wearing a mask beside him. This Kakuzu, he is full of mysteries."

Even though Yusuke knew Kakuzu's ability, he couldn't say it out loud, otherwise it would be difficult to explain it clearly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while, then he smiled bitterly and sighed, "Your analysis makes sense. Judging from the fact that he can still maintain his youthful state, perhaps he has mastered such a secret technique. However, I have never heard of such a mysterious secret technique."

After another moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Yusuke on the shoulder and said gently: "Okay, you guys go back first. Tsunade, remember to check Yusuke carefully again."

After Yusuke and Tsunade left, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat back in his chair and fell into deep thought. His fingers tapped lightly on the table as he thought about a strategy.

After a while, he called an ANBU and ordered him sternly, "Go to the Root and ask Danzo to come over."

The Anbu took the order and left quickly. Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling, his worries growing heavier as he muttered to himself.

"Perhaps, we can check the files of the first-generation master and see what enemies he fought during his lifetime."

"Are you going to go home now?"

After leaving the Hokage building, Yusuke asked Tsunade quietly.

Tsunade responded, "I need to go to the Konoha Hospital right now, would you like to take me there?"

Since the war ended, Tsunade has taken over the medical department, and the hospital is an important part of the medical department.

"Okay, I want to go see Haiyi. He should be in the hospital now." Yusuke thought for a moment and then asked Tsunade.

Tsunade shook her head and replied, "I'm not sure either. After all, I left the village immediately after receiving the news from Aramuriki."

"Okay, I'll take you there. By the way, I'll see if Haiyi is here."

After Yusuke finished speaking, he gently took Tsunade's hand and walked towards the hospital.

Tsunade's eyes were filled with smiles as she stared at Yusuke's back quietly. The two had been dating for some time, and she had long been accustomed to Yusuke's intimate behavior and was deeply intoxicated by it.

Inside Konoha Hospital.

Tsunade randomly found a nurse and soon found out the ward where Yamanaka Inoichi was.

After Yusuke parted ways with Tsunade, he followed the nurse into the ward.

As soon as he entered the room, he found that Yamanaka Yuji, Nara Shikaku and others were in the ward.

"Teacher Yusuke!"

Seeing Yusuke return safely, Nara Shikaku and others showed happy smiles on their faces. The big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

"Yusuke, stay with them for a while. I'll wait for you outside."

Yamanaka Yuji's eyes fell on his son's still unconscious face, and he tried to force a smile and said to Yusuke.

"Okay." Yusuke responded softly.

Yusuke walked to the bedside and gently placed the fruit basket he brought beside him. He looked at Yamanaka Inoichi's pale face and felt distressed.

He walked quietly to the bed, sat down gently, then reached out and gently stroked Yamanaka Inoichi's hair.

"how is the situation?"

Yusuke raised his head, looked at the two people who were no longer seriously injured, and asked.

"It's no big deal. Now we can only wait for Haiyi to wake up."

Nara Shikaku poured a glass of water for Yusuke, and after handing it to him, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Yusuke, where is that ninja from yesterday?"

"We fought all night, but he escaped."

Yusuke took the cup and took a sip. He knew what Nara Shikaku was thinking, so he replied in a low voice, "He is very powerful and is not an opponent you can defeat at this stage. Even if it is your father, it is not easy to defeat him."

Hearing Yusuke's words, Nara Shikaku showed an unwilling expression on his face. He clenched his fists tightly, thinking back to yesterday's disastrous defeat, and then seeing Yamanaka Inoichi lying lifeless on the hospital bed, his heart was filled with bitterness.

"Don't be too discouraged."

Yusuke certainly understood their feelings and didn't have the heart to continue to attack them, so he said earnestly, "You are still young. If you want to get back at the throne, you can consider it after you become a jonin."

Fortunately, Yamanaka Inoichi was not in danger of life, which made Yusuke feel a little relieved.

"During the recent period, you should go home and practice on your own, and then return to the team when Haiyi fully recovers."

Yusuke stood up and prepared to leave the ward. He patted Nara Shikaku's shoulder, glanced at Yamanaka Inoichi, and reminded him again, "Take good care of him. I will come to see him when I have time." After that, he turned and walked out of the ward.

Outside the ward, Yamanaka Yuji was standing with his hands behind his back, looking out the window silently, no one knew what he was thinking.
