Chapter 88 : Ninja Alliance??

Tsunade looked at the handsome man in front of her who was boasting and had no resistance. She felt shy, and love quickly took over her. 

She kissed Kato Dan on the forehead and gave him the family necklace.

They spent the whole day together in a loving manner.

The next day, they went straight to the battlefield.

During the battle, Tsunade, Kato Dan, and two other jonin formed a four-person team for their mission.

During the mission, Kato Dan was severely injured, and his internal organs were damaged by the enemy.

Before he died, Kato Dan told Tsunade he wasn't ready to die and wanted to continue doing things he loved with her.

He also spoke about his dream of becoming Hokage.

Desperate, Tsunade tried a drastic and intense treatment on Kato Dan, including a forceful chest pump.

A teammate noticed that Kato Dan's kidney was shattered and that he wouldn't survive. He told Tsunade, "Stop, he really has no blood left."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade stopped immediately, and Kato Dan died right away.

Distraught by losing Kato Dan, Tsunade became fearful of blood and thought only fools would want to be Hokage.

It wasn't until Naruto appeared that Tsunade was convinced to become the Fifth Hokage.

---

Naruto looked at the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya, then at Tsunade wearing the Hokage hat on the screen, feeling confused.

"How can the Fifth Hokage be Tsunade when the pervyr sage is supposed to be the Fifth Hokage?" Naruto wondered.

Seeing Naruto's confusion, both the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya and the Third Hokage were speechless.

Orochimaru even laughed.

Sasuke, surprised, asked, "Don't you get it yet?"

"What?"

Naruto's silly and cute look gave Sasuke a headache.

MD, this guy is actually the protagonist of our world.

He looks so foolish, he doesn't seem like the protagonist at all.

I'm afraid this world is going to end.

I, Uchiha Sasuke, will never admit that Uzumaki Naruto is the protagonist.

"Naruto."

As Naruto's teacher, Jiraiya has to help him with his questions.

Jiraiya continued, sounding very frustrated: "Anything or anyone that appears in the light curtain video is based on how things normally develop in the ninja world without the light curtain. When the light curtain appeared, things started to change, so I became the Fifth Hokage, and Tsunade hasn't come back to the village. Do you get it?"

"Well, it seems a bit complicated. I don't really understand."

The Fifth Hokage Jiraiya shook his head and looked at the Third Hokage.

"No, why are you looking at me? It's your job as a teacher to explain things to Naruto. Don't try to shift the responsibility."

The old Third Hokage isn't very reliable, so the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru instead.

"Don't look at me either. I can't even teach my own students, so I don't have time to help you."

Seeing that his teacher and friends weren't willing to help, the Fifth Hokage Jiraiya turned his resentful gaze to Sasuke.

Even Sasuke felt uneasy under the Fifth Hokage's intense stare.

"How about I give it a try?"

"Oh~ That's great. I knew you, Sasuke, are a good guy and a great partner. I think you're the best young man this year."

After saying that, Jiraiya pushed Naruto towards Sasuke.

And Sasuke felt like he had been tricked.

"Sasuke."

Turning his head, Sasuke looked at Naruto's clear yet clueless eyes, sighed helplessly, and began to explain the function of the light curtain to Naruto.

In the office.

When they saw Kato Dan's death, everyone was very quiet.

As the saying goes, the dead are the greatest.

No matter how much they disliked Kato Dan, it was still uncomfortable and suffocating to see him, a Konoha Jonin, die. They also felt sorry for Tsunade.

Not long after her younger brother died, her boyfriend also died. Most people would find such a blow hard to endure.

It's no wonder the screen showed that Tsunade developed hemophobia afterwards.

"It would be great if there were no war."

"Yes, everyone understands the cruelty of war deeply."

"Those ambitious people who started the war deserve to be punished."

"Don't worry, we've found a way to achieve peace. As long as everyone unites, the ninja world will definitely be peaceful."

The first few people who entered the office knew what this so-called path to peace was.

To be honest, it's very difficult to implement.

However, they knew that Mr. Tobirama had already started making preliminary preparations.

As long as there is enough time, unifying the ninja world might not be impossible.

Then, we would all be citizens of one country.

Since we'd all be from the same country, war shouldn't start, right?

[After Tsunade became the fifth Hokage and realized Kato Dan's ideal.]

[A few years later, the Fourth Ninja World War broke out.]

"Um?"

As the Fourth Ninja World War was about to be shown on the screen, both Fifth Hokage Jiraiya and Senju Tobirama watched intently.

Even Sasuke, who was explaining the screen to Naruto, stopped and stared at the screen.

[Kato Dan and many other ninjas were resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi through the Impure World Reincarnation.]

[These resurrected individuals have memories and consciousness, but their actions are controlled, and they are forced to participate in the battle.]

[Kato Dan faced Konoha's Akimichi Choza and several others with strength above the Chunin level.]

[Fortunately, Kato Dan, who was still conscious, instructed Choza to use the Four Purple Flame Formation to block his actions, to prevent himself from being out of control and using the Spirit Transformation Technique to assassinate the ninjas of the ninja alliance.]

"The Ninja Alliance?"

When the Third Hokage heard the term "Ninja Alliance," he found it hard to believe.

Having lived through three Ninja World Wars, he understood the deep-seated hatred between the ninja villages.

During the time shown on the screen, Konoha's Hokage was Tsunade.

Her brother and boyfriend had died on the battlefield.

Such hatred is not easy to overcome.

Tsunade, as Hokage, joining the Ninja Alliance for the greater good makes sense.

But many people in the ninja world are in worse situations than Tsunade. Would they also set aside their hatred for the greater good?

The Third Hokage found it difficult to imagine.

Unless faced with a dire situation where destruction is certain without unification, he couldn't picture how the Ninja Alliance could come together.

"It seems that the issue is likely with Kabuto Yakushi."

Kabuto Yakushi: That's right, it's me!
