At Mikoto's insistence, Uchiha Tatsu stayed in the ward for another day before leaving. Shengshu still wants to live here alone.
But looking at him, he looked very happy. After all, there are medical ladies serving meals and changing dressings here every day, which makes Shengshu both painful and happy.
At this time, Orochimaru Tsunade and the ninja brigade finally returned to Konoha. Even Hatake Sakumo, who went out to resist the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki, returned safely with injuries all over his body.
At this point, the two-year war in the Kingdom of Rain finally achieved a complete victory.
However, after the war ends, the people's lives in this country may not improve. Endless trauma and continued turmoil will become the main theme here.
But this has nothing to do with Konoha, this is something Hanzo has to consider. All Konoha needs is for the Rain Country to surrender.
When I walked out of the ward, it was noon outside, and the rain was still as abundant as before.
Looking around, the station is now filled with the sound of celebrations and crowded crowds. Countless people are packing their things and communicating happily.
At this time, the tragedy of the war was clearly displayed in front of Uchiha Tatsumi. The landscape was destroyed in large areas, and from time to time, blood could be seen that had penetrated into the soil. Even the rain for many days could not wash it away!
Fortunately, the corpses of the enemy's and his own dead ninjas have been collected. Otherwise, Uchiha Tatsumi would definitely see many more miserable scenes.
Residents were coming and going, and many things had been packed up, put into seal scrolls, and finally brought back to Konoha.
Overnight, everyone seemed to know Uchiha Tatsumi. When the ninjas saw him, they all looked at him with respect and enthusiasm. This has nothing to do with age, only strength.
Konoha Lightning, the boy who danced with lightning to defeat the tailed beast, was a hero that even the Sand Ninja feared.
After walking around for a while, Uchiha Tatsu couldn't stand the enthusiastic attitude, so he had to go find Minato.
Suddenly, a ninja wearing a fox mask blocked Uchiha Tatsura's path, "Tsunade-sama is looking for you."
"Okay, I'll go now." Uchiha Tatsu could only nodded, and then walked towards the central tent.
After opening the tent, Tsunade was sitting inside, frowning at some document.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Uchiha Tatsu said.
"Well, please sit down first. I'll tell you something when I'm done with this."
After Tsunade heard Uchiha Tatsu's voice, she first looked up at him, then gave an order, and immediately lowered her head to do her work again.
A hard-working Tsunade is a very rare phenomenon. A few years later, even after becoming Hokage, Tsunade would never show such enthusiasm for work again.
But Tsunade can't help it, because several commanders are now missing.
Orochimaru is currently squatting in his underground laboratory, sorting out his things. He stayed here for two years and had a complete underground laboratory. It is very troublesome to sort out the various important experiments here.
Hinata Sky and Sakumo were both seriously injured and lying dead in the hospital. As for that bastard Jiraiya, Tsunade got angry just thinking about him.
Tsunade is also helpless now. She also wants to be a business owner and go to the major casinos in the Land of Rain to make a small fortune.
However, the statistics of personnel losses, the handling of material damage, the next course of action, and the preparations for the ninja's departure all need to be reviewed by her as the highest person in charge.
After waiting for a long time, Tsunade finally completed the work at hand.
"Chen, is there nothing wrong with your health?"
"Thank you for your concern, teacher. I think it's nothing serious." So as he said that, he showed a smile to Tsunade. At the same time, Uchiha Tatsumi stretched out an arm to show off his muscles to show that it was not a big deal for him to move. hinder.
"Yeah, that's right. After all, I personally... um... asked other ninjas to treat you."
Uchiha Tatsu showed contempt. It's true. It's been a long time and it actually has nothing to do with you.
Tsunade showed an embarrassed expression and abruptly changed the subject, "Well, Konoha Lightning, I haven't congratulated you yet. How does it feel to have your own title?"
Hearing this earthy title, Uchiha Tatsu curled his lips, "...it's okay. It sounds much more cool than the Sannin of Konoha."
"However, being a public figure is still very stressful. When you are alone in the middle of a lonely night, you will occasionally suffer from insomnia. After all, with great power comes great responsibility."
"...Really?" Upon hearing the Konoha Sannin, Tsunade smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes.
"Everyone says that you and I are about the same strength. How about we go out and compete?" Tsunade asked, clenching her fists.
"...Teacher, don't be ridiculous, don't you know my strength yet?" Uchiha Tatsumi grimaced. It seems that Tsunade really hates the title of Konoha Sannin.
"I really don't know your current strength. That day, I could see the Thunder Release from a very far away place. I was also surprised whose ninjutsu was it. I didn't expect it to be yours." Tsunade sighed with emotion. stood up.
"Chen, you are now a ninja who can stand alone."
Tsunade paused, then looked into Uchiha Tatsu's eyes and said, "I never thought that your talent in Thunder Release was so high."
"The ninjutsu Chidori you developed before made me very shocked by your ninjutsu development ability. I didn't expect you to be even more powerful. Can you use this level of ninjutsu at will?"
Tsunade's expression was serious. The more powerful the ninjutsu, the higher the price. Tsunade must determine the price of this jutsu. If it is too high, it must be included in the forbidden jutsu.
Facing Tsunade's question, Uchiha Tatsumi explained the principle of Kirin.
Tsunade pondered for a while, "Does that mean the conditions of use must be thunderstorm weather?"
"Yes, of course it can also be made artificially. It's just too troublesome." Uchiha Chen nodded.
"Right now, there are rumors out there about how powerful I am and that I can defeat tailed beasts, but they are not that exaggerated. Is it really okay to let such rumors continue to spread?"
This is what Uchiha Tatsu really wants to say. In a few years, his strength may be able to reach that level, but certainly not now. The problem is, a big tree attracts wind. If you continue to spread it like this, you will definitely be targeted by many forces.
"Well, actually this matter was passed on by Orochimaru's order." Tsunade explained.
"Why?" Uchiha Chen wondered.
"After the Sand Ninja spread the news that you were Konoha Lightning, I originally wanted to suppress the matter. After all, the other party has sinister intentions, and I don't want to follow their wishes."
"But Orochimaru objected. Not only did he not suppress it, but he also spread the news back to the village. Now the whole village probably knows about your deeds."
"As for why Orochimaru did this? Because he likes you very much." Tsunade looked at Uchiha Tatsumi with a somewhat profound look.
"...Okay." Uchiha Tatsu was dumbfounded.
You know, a ninja's reputation among the villagers is inseparable from the village's publicity. As a member of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Tatsumi, the higher-ups would probably force this matter to be suppressed.
In short, your contribution is indelible, but your deeds will be treated in a low-key manner with Spring and Autumn style. This is the most commonly used method in the village.
Now Orochimaru is directly using his own resources to help him build momentum. Although Uchiha Tatsu didn't know Orochimaru's thoughts, he was still very moved.
As Tsunade said, Orochimaru really likes him as his apprentice.
