Konohagakure, the Land of Fire.

When the news of the annihilation of the Konoha army came back, the people of Konoha were not only immersed in great grief, but were also worried, worried that the disaster would come at any time.

Because they destroyed Kisame's head buff on the Hokage rock and actively destroyed the peace contract signed with Kirigakure.

If Tsunade is unwilling to give up and came directly to Konoha's door like Hoshigaki Kisame in the Third Ninja War, the shame of the past may be staged again.

In the current situation, there must be someone to take the blame.

Under such circumstances, Jiraiya quickly followed in the footsteps of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and received a lot of accusations from Konoha villagers and ninjas. It was him who brought Konoha to the edge of the cliff, the brink of destruction.

At this time, Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi found the right time to stand up again. The ambitious two, using the elder status given to them by Jiraiya, united with other families in the village and launched a fierce impeachment against the Hokage.

Jiraiya was impeached.

The opposition, headed by Uchiha Fugaku and Hiashi Hyuga, claimed that in this failed war, due to Jiraiya's wrong judgment, nearly 10,000 Konoha ninjas were buried on the battlefield, and the village was facing complete annihilation.

Jiraiya is the greatest sinner.

The fourth Hokage should step down immediately, and face Kirigakure's anger alone and take all responsibility.

Although there are also many people, such as Sarutobi Hiruzen and Minato Namikaze, who stood on Jiraiya's side and fought against the opposition, and Mount Myoboku also tried to intervene to protect Jiraiya, but in the face of being incited Konoha ninjas, and the surging public opinion, all these efforts were ultimately to no avail.

A few days later, Jiraiya had to announce his abdication, and as a "criminal who tore up the peace treaty and waged war", he went to Kirigakure alone to stand trial.

The fourth Hokage finally chose to sacrifice himself to protect Konoha and the Will of Fire.

Mount Myoboku, deep in the temple.

"I didn't expect Katsuyu to possess a human being, this is too surprising. What is the name of that human ninja, Tsuna...de? She is amazing to be able to withstand Katsuyu's chakra with a human body."

Gamamaru, laid on its throne and burped it's wine, and sighed with emotion.

"Old guy, why are you still so calm? Hurry up and save little Jiraya! He went to Kirigakure alone and fell into the hands of the Kiri Ninja. If we don't do anything he is going to die."

Shima urged anxiously. Although Jiraiya is a human, he has a deep bond with the toad family. In the eyes of many toads in Mount Myoboku, he is a member of the family.

"Shima, pay attention to your attitude, don't be rude to the eldest master!"

Fukasaku frowned and reprimanded his wife, but then he also looked at Gamamaru and pleaded, "I am afraid that only you can save little Jiraiya this time. The Slug Sage is as famous as you. No one is qualified to talk to it except for you."

"Hehe, don't worry. Little Jiraiya will be able to turn bad luck into good luck."

Gamamaru looked disinterested, and said to the two, "Have you forgotten? In the future I saw in my dream, Naruto Uzumaki will become the son of prophecy, and little Jiraiya will become the teacher of the Child of Prophecy. So, Jiraya will be fine."

"...Ok."

When Fukasaku and Shima heard that, they suddenly realized.

The Great Toad Sage prophecy has never been missed. Not to mention, the two recent prophecies, namely Kisame's death and the son of the prophecy with blue eyes, have been factually proved.

Now, Naruto Uzumaki was just born, at least until he grew up, Jiraiya's role as "Teacher of the Son of Prophecy" would definitely not be absent.

Thinking of this, the two sages finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Amegakure.

Nagato supported the armrests of the wheelchair with both hands, and with the careful support of Konan and Yahiko, he finally got out of the wheelchair and stood up slowly.

"That's great, Nagato." Seeing this, both Konan and Yahiko looked happy.

However, Nagato's face was gloomy, and he was not happy at all.

Not long ago on the battlefield of the ninja world, when he and Tsunade had a decisive battle, he was interrupted by a sneak attack from Onoki. But Nagato knew that if there was no interference from Onoki, he would definitely not be Tsunade's opponent, and there is 100% chance that he would die under her hands.

First, he was defeated by Kisame, and then he was defeated by Tsunade. He suffered successive defeats, which made Nagato, who was once arrogant and full of himself, begin to doubt himself.

Now, all the tailed beasts have been taken away by Kirigakure, and with Tsunade there, it is impossible to take them back. In this way, the plan to collect the nine-tailed beasts to revive the ten tails and become the ten-tails Jinchuriki also came to a standstill.

Nagato also consulted the White Snake Sage about this matter, and the latter told him: Katsuyu is her nemesis and it can't help much. Instead, it told Nagato that it is best not to provoke Tsunade.

Now, Nagato was deeply confused about the future.

What should he do next?

Thinking of this, Nagato looked to the side, where there was a yellow coffin. Inside the coffin is Madara Uchiha's body.

Kirigakure, hospital.

After Tsunade's personal treatment for several days and nights, with the assistance of Shizune and other medical ninjas, Pakura's life was saved.

Regrettably, even with Tsunade's best efforts, she only saved her life. Pakura is now in a deep coma on the hospital bed, as if she was in a vegetative state, with no sign of waking up.

Perhaps, Pakura will spend the rest of her life in such a state on the hospital bed.

"Take good care of her."

Tsunade gave the order, took one last look at her, and walked out of the ward. There are still many things in the village waiting for her to deal with.

"Tsunade-sama, Sheji-sama wants to see you." As soon as they went out, someone stepped forward to report.

Tsunade frowned and immediately said: "Let her wait for me in the office."

Fifteen minutes later.

After a simple grooming and changing clothes, Tsunade came to her office.

SheJi, who had been waiting here for a long time, quickly stood up with a smile on her face.

"What do you have to say?" Tsunade made no secret of her disgust for the other party, and asked coldly, with murderous intent hidden in her tone.

From her point of view, the first thing she thought of when she heard about Kisame's death was to launch a coup d'etat. When the enemy's army overwhelmed them she ran away immediately, such a person dares to come to see her. If she can't give a good reason, she doesn't need to think about leaving this office.

"Tsunade, I'm just afraid of death. Although I became a deserter, I didn't do anything bad for Kirigakure. Now that the war is over, I feel that I still have great value to you and to Kirigakure, so I came back. It's as simple as that."

SheJi's eyes flickered, as she said her piece that she had prepared for a long time.

"That's it?"

Hearing this, Tsunade sneered disdainfully and stared straight at Sheji, "You overestimate your own worth. A guy like you who can betray the village at any time is a huge hidden danger, I think it's better to clear it early."

A powerful purple chakra erupted from her body, covering the entire office, causing Sheji's shoulders to sink, making her stand still.

SheJi sensing Tsunade's imminent killing intent, no longer dared to say nonsense, and said quickly: "I have been studying Impure Reincarnation for the past few years. Using this technique, I can help you revive Hoshigaki Kisame, as well as the first and second Hokage. Tsunade, you don't want to see them being resurrected by Nagato and become his puppets, right?"

'Oh?'

Hearing that, Tsunade frowned again.

Nagato's Impure reincarnation jutsu is indeed a big trouble. Although she sealed her grandfather and great uncle so that they could no longer be resurrected for a short time, the initiative is always in Nagato's hands. Sooner or later, he will do the same trick again.

If she can get ahead of Nagato and use the Impure Reincarnation and revive the two, it can indeed help a lot.

As for Kisame, a person who faked death does not need to be resurrected.

Thinking of this, Tsunade's eyes narrowed slightly and was silent for a moment. She finally slowly put away the aura she radiated, and said:

"Okay, I'll give you another chance. But you have to remember that if I find out that you're making small moves behind my back, I'll kill you without any hesitation."

"...Yes." SheJi swallowed her saliva, and the cold sweat on her forehead unknowingly seeped down. The Tsunade in front of her was so powerful, so powerful that she didn't dare to think about anything else, she could only obey carefully.

"Is there anything else?" Tsunade asked with a frown when she saw that SheJi didn't leave, but was hesitating about something.

One of the most important prerequisites for the Impure reincarnation is that the user needs a certain amount of DNA.

The DNA of the first Hokage is easy to handle. After all, his cells have been researched by him and can be easily taken out. The second Hokage is not difficult to deal with. Since SheJi started to study Impure reincarnation, she has tried to get Tobirama's DNA.

In the anime, when Orochimaru invaded Konoha, he used the Impure Reincarnation to resurrect the first and second Hokages, which shows that he had already prepared the DNA of the two.

However, as for Kisame's DNA, SheJi was helpless and could only ask Tsunade for help.

She knew that Kisame was Tsunade's man, and his importance to Tsunade and Kirigakure is definitely more than the two Hokages. It is a pity that Kisame summoned the water prison and the group of sharks to devour himself at the Five Kage Summit.

Under such circumstances, if he wants to resurrect him, he can only hope that Tsunade may have Kisame's DNA... No matter what form it is.

However, what SheJi never expected was—

"Your mission is to concentrate on resurrecting the first and second Hokages. As for Kisame, you don't have to worry about it. It's just right that the guy died." Tsunade said indifferently.

"Are you... sure?" SheJi was very surprised when she heard the words, she didn't expect Tsunade to be so heartless.

"Is there a problem?" Tsunade asked back, her eyes sharp like a knife, as they wandered on Sheji.

"No, no problem. I'm going to prepare, I believe that the ceremony will be carried out soon and the two Hokages will be resurrected." SheJi sweated again and fled the office.

'Ugh.'

Tsunade sighed and rubbed her forehead, as she leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes to rest for a while.

"Tsunade-sama!"

After an unknown amount of time, in a trance, Shizune's voice rang in her ears.

"What's wrong?" Tsunade rubbed her eyes and yawned.

"This... Jiraiya-sama is here. I heard that he was impeached, deprived of the position of Hokage, and is asked to bear all the crimes Konoha committed during the war as a sinner."

Shizune said carefully while observing Tsunade's expression.

"Where is he now?" Tsunade asked calmly, remaining expressionless.

"He is taken to the execution ground under the care and surveillance of Anbu. They are waiting for your order to deal with him." Shizune replied.

Tsunade stood up, and started walking towards the execution ground without saying a word.

It suddenly started raining lightly.

On the mountain behind Kirigakure, there is an open space surrounded by barbed wire. Dozens of Anbu are guarding the fourth Hokage Jiraiya who came to plead guilty.

When Tsunade came to the open space, at a glance, she saw a tall figure with long white hair, with both hands and feet tied in shackles, standing in the middle of the execution ground, drenched in the rain.

"You go back first."

Tsunade ordered Mangetsu. The latter was stunned for a moment, but soon recovered and ordered all Anbu to withdraw.

On the execution ground, only Tsunade and Jiraiya were left.

'Da da da.'

Tsunade walked towards Jiraiya step by step. The latter hearing the footsteps, turned around slowly.

The two looked at each other.

"Tsunade, I have to bear the full responsibility of Hoshigaki Kisame's death and the war with Kirigakure. But I beg you, for the sake of the fact that we grew up together and fought side by side, let me bear all the guilt alone and let Konoha go. Please!"

Jiraiya said as he knelt down in front of Tsunade with a plop and lowered his head to plead for mercy.

At this moment, he abandoned all his dignity and wanted to use his life to make up for his mistakes and save Konoha's fate.

Tsunade, without saying a word pulled out a kunai, a cold light flashed, and swiped towards Jiraiya.

'Puff.'

One of Jiraiya's arms was cut off by her and fell to the ground. Blood shot out from his shoulders, and soon dyed half of his body red.

But the man said nothing, he gritted his teeth and endured silently, waiting for death to come.

Unexpectedly, Tsunade put away the kunai and turned around.

"As you said, for the sake of our past, I will not kill you today, but leave you with only one arm. But Jiraiya, remember that from now on, there will be no relationship between you and me. I will declare to the public that I have punished you, and I will not start a war against Konoha."

Tsunade turned her back to Jiraiya, and after saying these words in a calm tone, she strode away from the execution ground without any hesitation.

"Tsunade…"

Jiraiya clutched his bleeding shoulder and stared blankly at Tsunade's back, his heart was lost, painful, and filled with all kinds of emotions.

After a long while, he stood up silently and left here with shaky steps.

Tsunade returned to the office.

In this war, the reason for her actions is to protect Kirigakure, that's all. In addition, Tsunade did not plan to counterattack the major ninja villages, or even destroy them, so as to unify the ninja world.

Although with her power, all this seems to be easy to do.

In Tsunade's opinion, the Mizukage of Kirigakure is Hoshigaki Kisame. Whether to wage war against other ninja villages, or even to unify the ninja world or not, it's upto him to make the decision after he wakes up.

However, this does not mean that this war is over. Some people must be responsible for this, so that the major powers will not dare to start wars easily.

Thinking of this, Tsunade ordered Mangetsu, Ringo, and Terumi Mei to see her.

"There is a new task for you."

Tsunade tapped the table with her fingers, and slowly said surprising words in a flat tone, "Get rid of the Daimyos of the four great kingdoms."
