Chapter 48, The Wish of Father and Mother.

Five years of time, too many things have happened, people have fallen in love, new children have been born, and some people have died in missions.

For Konohagakure, these are nothing, just some not-so-special things that happened in a short period of time.

But for the parties involved, it is enough to affect a lifetime.

Konohagakure, Central Lake.

"Ah~"

Tsunade nestled in Raijin's arms, her hands around Raijin's neck, crying uncontrollably.

In fact, Tsunade has already been very strong. When her parents' bodies were brought back to Konohagakure, Tsunade didn't cry.

When her parents were buried and she was mourning in front of the tombstone, Tsunade didn't cry either.

It wasn't until after all these things were done that Tsunade finally cried out loud in this place where she and Raijin had been together for nearly eight years.

As if she wanted to release all the sadness she had accumulated over the past few days all at once.

In fact, if it weren't for Raijin, Tsunade might not be like this.

She has experienced parting from life and death, and if she endures it, it will pass.

But it is precisely because of Raijin's existence that Tsunade doesn't want to suppress her inner emotions, and she doesn't need to force herself to smile to reassure her family.

Because Tsunade knows that if she cries in front of Raijin, Raijin will comfort her.

Right now, Tsunade just wants Raijin to comfort her.

She's really... very sad.

"Alright, alright, don't cry, don't cry."

Raijin held Tsunade, one hand gently patting Tsunade's back, and the other hand stroking Tsunade's hair.

To be honest, when Tsunade's parents died, Raijin was also very uncomfortable.

Although Tsunade's father was a bit unhappy every time he saw him, he would still greet him to sit down.

Every time Tsunade's mother saw him, she had a gentle smile on her face.

They were all very good to him, and they loved Tsunade very much.

But such a couple, just like that, left this world forever.

Sigh...

This is the ninja world, a place where no one knows what will happen in the next second.

Biting his back teeth hard, suppressing his inner emotions, Raijin comforted Tsunade in a soft voice.

"Raijin... I... I don't have... don't have... a father and mother anymore."

Tsunade choked up, speaking to Raijin in a broken voice.

Raijin's heart twitched, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but become a bit sour.

Raijin was a bit overwhelmed, but seeing Tsunade crying so hard, he could only pick her up.

He placed Tsunade's head on his shoulder, not letting her see his face that had become a bit twisted.

In his previous life, when he watched dramas, Raijin couldn't stand the parting of life and death.

Let alone in this life, such a thing has fallen on him.

"Tsunade, you may no longer has a mom and dad, but you still has grandparents, and me, we will always on your side."

Raijin quietly wiped his face, pulled Tsunade away, and looked at Tsunade in front of him.

"Tsunade's mom and dad probably wouldn't want Tsunade to be so sad."

"I know, but I just can't control it."

Tsunade's tears never stopped, and her voice changed at this moment.

Looking at Tsunade in front of him, Raijin pursed his lips and said to Tsunade.

"Do you know if mom and dad have any unfulfilled wishes? For those of us who are still alive, if we can help them complete some unfinished things, that would be good."

Raijin is not very good at comforting people, so at this moment, he can only clumsily try to change the subject, hoping to divert Tsunade's attention.

Seeing the person he had been working hard with for eight years crying so heartbreakingly, Raijin couldn't stand it.

He really couldn't stand it.

"Dad's wish was to surpass grandpa, and mom's wish was to make Konohagakure better and better. They have always been working hard for these."

Upon hearing this, Raijin bit his lower lip and nodded slightly.

Well, if there are specific problems, it's good to solve them.

"Dad's wish, we might not be able to fulfill it for now. After all, Tsunade's grandpa is too strong. We can only train hard until we reach our limit, then we can look for a stronger path."

Raijin said to Tsunade.

"Hmm."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade nodded. As the problem emerged, the sadness gradually dissipated, rationality began to return, and Tsunade began to think.

"To make Konohagakure better and better, we can think of some ways, and then give them to grandpa to see if they can be implemented."

Seeing Tsunade's mood improve a bit, Raijin unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"So what should we do?"

Tsunade's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Even for Tsunade, she felt that her question was a bit too general.

"Let me first say what I think. Konohagakure is now in a peaceful era, which is a very happy thing. The death rate of Konohagakure ninjas is there, but it is much lower than during the war. In such an era, can we start from the economy?"

Raijin had never considered this question before, and now he was improvising.

"Economy?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade asked Raijin.

"Let me ask you, Tsunade, what is the most important thing for a village?"

Raijin asked Tsunade. In fact, Raijin himself was also thinking about this question.

"Money and people."

Tsunade's thinking was completely led by Raijin. After pondering for a moment, Tsunade said to Raijin.

"Yes, money and people. So, we should find a way to use the existing people and money to make more money and people. In this way, wouldn't Konohagakure become better and better?"

Raijin licked his somewhat dry lips, wracking his brains to think about how to use the existing people and money to earn more people and money.

This is... a bit difficult.

"And then?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade looked at Raijin expectantly. At this moment, she truly believed that Raijin had a solution.

After all, if there was no solution, he probably wouldn't have said it, right?

"Let's talk about money first. In this world, the richest are inevitably the nobles. If we want to make money from these nobles, besides providing them with protection or assassination services, we can also sell them some things."

As Raijin thought and spoke, his thoughts gradually became clearer.

All the residents living in Konohagakure can be roughly divided into two types, one is ninjas, and the other is ordinary people.

What is the biggest demand of nobles for ninjas?

Safety.

So, can ninjas develop some Ninja Tools that even ordinary people can use based on this demand?

For example, wearing some ninja tools on your body can immunize you from a certain degree of Genjutsu.

If such Ninja Tools appear on the market, no matter how much they are priced, they will definitely cause a frenzy of purchases by the nobles.
