Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

"Were those two people just now my grandfather's students?" Konohamaru looked up at Ebisu and asked.

"Ok!"

"So they are both very strong?"

"Of course. The Third Hokage is so strong, how could his students be weak?"

"Konohamaru, those two adults are powerful men who are famous in the ninja world!!"

"Then I will become a strong man and a famous figure in the ninja world in the future." Konohamaru's voice was childish.

But it carries a strange firmness.

"Then from today on, you must seize the time to practice!!" Ebisu held Konohamaru's hand and walked towards the Sarutobi family.

Inside the Hokage's office, Hetai and Baigusa were reporting to Okamoto Dousuke what had just happened in the commercial street.

"I'm sorry, Lord Doujie, I didn't complete your instructions." Hetai said with his head down in self-blame.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. The teacher has never been a person who follows the rules. Just let him be." Okamoto Dousuke waved his hand and comforted with a smile.

On the hill behind Konoha.

Tsunade was carrying the fruit basket that she had just bought, which made Jiraiya feel painful.

Standing quietly in front of the dark memorial.

No words for a long time.

Shizune and Jiraiya just stood silently not far behind Tsunade.

Tsunade looked at the name on the memorial tablet with deep eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

After a while, Tsunade walked away from the memorial monument.

Walk to the tombstone of the Third Hokage.

The red lips parted slightly: "Old man, I'm so sorry that I couldn't see you for the last time."

"Who knew that an old man like you would die so suddenly."

"But being able to die to protect Konoha in the end should be what you hope for."

A crystal clear tear slid down Tsunade's cheek and gathered at her white chin.

Low on the grass.

Tsunade placed the fruit basket she bought in front of the tombstone of the Third Hokage.

Tsunade just looked at the tombstone of the Third Hokage.

Two figures seemed to appear in my eyes that were already blurred by tears.

One looked like a young man, and the other looked like a teenager.

These two people were once Tsunade's closest and most beloved people.

Behind these two shadows, the slightly old face of the Third Hokage gradually emerged.

Tsunade stretched out her hand and tried to touch the two people's shadows.

But the two people's shadows blurred again, and these two blurred shadows gradually merged with the shadow of the Third Hokage.

A new face, gradually becoming clearer than blurry ones.

It's Dousuke Okamoto.

The shadow of Okamoto Dousuke appeared in front of Tsunade.

Tsunade raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes vigorously to wipe away her tears.

"It turns out that Doujie's kid has inherited your business without you noticing."

"I will help Dosuke and you guys keep Konoha safe." After Tsunade wiped away her tears, she took a deep look in the direction of the memorial monument.

Then he walked towards the village without looking back.

"Shizune, let's go!!" Tsunade strode forward, raised her hand and called out to her disciples.

"Yes, teacher!!" Shizune followed immediately.

When Tsunade was walking back from the back mountain, Okamoto Dousuke appeared above the Hokage Rock at some point.

Arms on chest.

The howling wind made Okamoto Dousuke's divine robe flutter.

The big words "Fifth Generation Hokage" fluttered behind Okamoto Dousuke.

Okamoto Dousuke was looking into the distance, not only at Konoha but also at places farther away.

In the Land of Fire, a thin figure quickly shuttled through the forest.

Swish! !

The thin figure rushed out of the forest.

After walking out of the forest, what comes into view is a large plain.

The boundless view makes people feel relaxed and happy.

As long as you step into the plain ahead, you will enter the border of the Land of Fields.

At this point he was completely separated from the Fire Nation behind him.

Whoohoo! !

The figure was leaning on his knees, bent over and gasping for breath.

He kept on traveling all night.

He is Uchiha Sasuke who defected from Konoha.

Ever since knocking out Haruno Sakura and leaving Konoha, Uchiha Sasuke has been worried that the village will discover his defection.

So he was rushing along the way.

Because he was worried that Konoha's Anbu might come to capture him, Uchiha Sasuke was quite frightened along the way.

Only then could he slow down a little.

After a while.

After his breathing became more stable, the thin figure slowly stood up.

Turning slowly, he looked at the lush forest.

In the scarlet eyes, three magatama were slowly rotating.

"We've come this far, Sasuke, come on!!" The thin figure took a deep breath and cheered himself up.

Uchiha Sasuke took out a kunai from his ninja bag.

Swish swish! !

Uchiha Sasuke spun the kunai a few times on his index finger.

Then he threw it to the ground.

The moment the kunai was nailed to the ground, the last trace of hesitation in Uchiha Sasuke's eyes seemed to be cut off.

"From today on, I am just Uchiha Sasuke, an Avenger!!" Uchiha Sasuke said.

Without looking back, he stepped into the plain.

Walking on the land of the field.

The Uchiha reached out and touched the curse seal on his neck.

He had a vague feeling in his heart about what he should do.

Uchiha Sasuke didn't think much about it, just followed his feeling and walked forward quickly.

In a dim underground base in Tian Kingdom.

Orochimaru sat on a chair with his arms resting limply on the armrests.

There was blood dripping down continuously.

"Cough cough cough!!"

"Lord Orochimaru, you should rest more." Kabuto Yakushi persuaded Orochimaru while preparing herbs on the side.

"This action has made your condition worse!!"

"It would be great if it was Lady Tsunade or Lady Mamoru who was here." There was endless regret in Kabuto Yakushi's words.

"I didn't expect that Tsunade would be so cruel."

"And Okamoto Dousuke, he actually wanted to silence me, he really is someone I admire!!" Orochimaru finally stopped calling Okamoto Dousuke Dousuke-kun.

But the appreciation in the words was indeed more intense.

Act decisively and show no mercy once a decision is made.

So much like him.

If Kimimaro hadn't risked his life this time, he and Kabuto Yakushi would have never had the chance to come back.

Orochimaru, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

Then he straightened up with great effort and looked in a distant direction.

"Kabuto!!" Orochimaru's hoarse voice rang out.

"Lord Orochimaru!" Kabuto Yakushi put down the work in his hands and walked to Orochimaru.
