Chapter 666: Prelude to Sasuke’s Defection!
Bah!
Sasuke knocked down Naruto whose attack missed.

"Then I'll do it. It looks like I'm stronger!"

After saying this, he prepared to leave.

But after taking only a few steps, he stopped.

Because the huge water tank that Naruto's Rasengan just hit had a gap in the front that was not a big deal, but a huge and twisted gap appeared in the back, and a large amount of water was slowly flowing down.

If it was not the water jar that was hit but himself, his life would be in danger.

"So, was it intentional?"

This thought flashed through Sasuke's mind.

Just now, when the opponent's Rasengan was about to hit him, it deviated. He originally thought it was a mistake, but now it seems that it was not, but the opponent did it on purpose.

"Naruto, you're my best friend!"

Sasuke left after saying this.

The target of his revenge was so strong that he couldn't even see any hope of catching up. Now he was overtaken by the last one, which made him lose control of his mentality. So he thought of Orochimaru's invitation.

Originally he was still a little hesitant, but after this battle, he had made a decision.

Not far away, Dou chuckled as he watched this scene.

The time to harvest is ripe!
In pursuit of power, the opponent will take the initiative to step into Orochimaru's arms.

Hokage Building!

Dohei signaled Quan to take the others and leave first, while he stopped one person alone.

"Tsunade-senpai, I wonder if I could treat you to a meal?"

He spoke directly, without caring about the eyes around him.

Even if they saw it, so what? He was not afraid that Konoha would accuse him of a "false" crime.

"it is good!"

Tsunade nodded decisively in agreement.

She was actually very curious about her junior, Tang Ping.

At the beginning, I only gave him some medical ninjutsu resources because I saw that he was hardworking and we got along well, but I didn't expect that he would be able to grow to this point.

Although they had never fought each other, Tsunade knew that she might not be the opponent.

Not only does the other party know the Sage Mode, but he also killed the Giant Toad Sage in Myoboku Mountain. His strength is definitely unfathomable.

How can we not be curious about such a strong man?

In fact, many people were watching the actions of the two, so the news spread quickly.

However, neither Tsunade nor Dohei were the type to care about other people's opinions, so they left the Hokage building together openly.

"Tsunade-sama!"

Shizune, who was holding her pink pet pig, Tuntun, came over, but her movements froze when she saw Dohei.

Of course she knew how terrifying this boy, who looked only in his teens, was.

The famous 'Purifying Flame' and 'Lord of the Castle Tower' even conquered Myōbokusan, one of the three holy places, and killed the legendary Giant Toad Sage.

It is totally unbelievable that such a terrible record was accomplished by this handsome and fresh young man in front of us.

"Come on, let's go eat something first!"

Tsunade took the lead.

Drinking is her hobby, and it's nice to talk about things in a place like that.

Tang Ping naturally didn't care. With his skills, he was not afraid of being overheard no matter where he talked.

Most of the villagers on the street have dispersed, but it is still lively.

Especially places like izakaya and yakiniku restaurants are almost full at this time.

Because the new Hokage has taken office, it is also an opportunity to celebrate.

However, occasionally one can hear villagers expressing dissatisfaction and complaints about the Hokage system.

After all, the inside stories that were revealed one after another had impacted the "will of fire" in their hearts.

Especially the thousands of ninja soldiers from the Sarutobi clan!

It's like a nuclear bomb.

Everyone knows that Konoha is short of military force, but the Sarutobi clan obviously has so many ninjas but did not recruit them. Instead, they recruited the private armies of other ninja clans. This is a bit too inhumane.

Everyone is very interested in how such a huge ninja army was built.

Because this number is already more than the number of ninjas in ordinary ninja villages.

Another issue is that everyone is accusing the Fourth Hokage's son of being treated like a dog.

After all, the Yondaime couple died to save the village, but you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, treated them like dogs in order to PUA them into your own shape. How can you not be blamed?

"I never thought that the old man would fall into your hands!"

Tsunade glanced at Douhei.

Although there is no evidence, everyone knows that these rumors were spread by the other party.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Tang Ping directly used a set of three consecutive denials.

There are some things that can be done but not said. Even if everyone knows that he spread the rumor, he cannot admit it.

Just like what happened with the Hyuga clan, many people suspected him, but since they had no evidence, they pretended not to know.

"Yeah!"

Tsunade said nothing and entered a large izakaya located in the core area.

"Lady Tsunade, please come in!"

The boss obviously knew Tsunade and came forward from behind the counter to greet her enthusiastically.

Soon, they were taken to a seat separated by a bamboo curtain.

If you are silent, you will be assigned to the next room.

The two of them obviously had something important to talk about, and it would be bad if she heard it, so Tsunade made such arrangements.

All I can say is that although Tsunade has a heroic personality, she is definitely a meticulous person.

If this were not the case, in the original plot, he would not have been able to develop Konoha so quickly after becoming Hokage.

In any case, Dou Ping was unwilling to let her become Hokage.

He would rather let Jiraiya or Asuma, who have grudges against him, take the position because their abilities are simply not suitable for the position of Hokage and the gap in their governance capabilities is too huge.

wrong!

It should be said that among ninjas, there are very few who have the ability to manage internal affairs or governance.

The only one who has it is the Second Hokage.

It was because of the foundation he laid that Konoha was able to develop into the leader of the five major ninja villages, with an extremely strong foundation.

For a company like F4, its governance capacity is negative.

Under their governance, Konoha was actually regressing, but because of their huge accumulation, it created the illusion that the Third Hokage was doing well.

But it's not surprising.

Ninjas are fighting tools, not governance tools.

It is precisely because the ninja village is not large that they can barely cope with it. If ninjas were really allowed to manage a country, it would not be surprising that it might collapse on the spot.

It is precisely because of this self-knowledge that the ninjas "obey" the nobles and daimyo and serve as combat tools and mercenaries with peace of mind.

As for Tsunade and Dohei, they are the type who are "open" when it comes to domestic affairs and management.

Knowing this, Dohei tried every means to prevent Tsunade from becoming Hokage.

Soon, the food and wine were served.

There are even foods such as kelp and marine fish.

"Since we got the 'Airship', we can now eat things that we couldn't eat before, even in Konoha. You've done a good job in this regard!"

Tsunade took a sip of her wine and began to praise.

She said this from the heart.

With the emergence of airships, the transportation efficiency of the ninja world has undergone a revolutionary improvement.

Even food from the seaside can be transported quickly to various places.

And all of this was brought about by the 'monster' in front of him.

"Thank you for your praise, Lady Tsunade. Without your help, I would not be able to do this!"

Tang Ping said modestly.

"Okay, I also happen to have something to ask you on behalf of someone else!"

Tsunade didn't want to engage in boring pleasantries and went straight to the point.

Boom!
Tang Ping tapped the table with his fingers.

A faint light instantly enveloped the area, blocking out prying eyes and sounds.

"Sure enough, your sealing technique is even stronger than Kushina's, you are really a monster..."

Tsunade is also quite skilled in sealing techniques, so she can naturally see what Dohei's move means.

The Konoha high-level officials had already anticipated this.

After all, if you want to enter Myoboku Mountain without sufficient sealing skills, there is no possibility at all.

So even though Tsunade was amazed at Dohei's terrifying power, her emotions did not fluctuate too much.

"I wonder if Lady Tsunade would like to ask on behalf of 'human'?"

Tang Ping already had the answer in his mind.

There are only a few people who can order Tsunade around, and even fewer who want to ask questions of her, so it's not difficult to guess.

"Slug wants to ask you, are you planning to attack Wet Bone Forest?"

Tsunade put down the drink in her hand and looked at Dou Ping seriously.

She wants to know the answer too!
After all, one of the three holy places is gone, and the remaining two will definitely be wary and uneasy.

It would be fine if it was someone else, but if they can break through one, it means there is a chance to break through the remaining two.

So she wanted to get a positive answer.
