"Beyond my imagination? Neji, what do you mean by this?" Tsunade felt a little uneasy, as if something was bothering her.
"You need to find that out for yourself." Neji walked away without looking back, his voice fading into the distance.
"Root, it's the darkness of Konoha..."
Neji didn't want to tell Tsunade everything, but for her, who had just overcome her inner demons, it would be too much to take in.
Especially since Sarutobi Hiruzen also played a part in it. Her most respected teacher was involved too. This would probably make Tsunade waver again.
"Root!" Tsunade was slightly startled, as if she had caught something. Neji was hinting that she should investigate Root. Could it be that Root was hiding some secrets?
After a moment, Tsunade said, "Shizune, let's go!"
Neji wouldn't speak without a reason. What exactly was Root hiding? And what did it have to do with her? She wanted to become the Fifth Hokage and figure everything out.
Soon after, the group finally arrived in Konoha. Konoha was still being rebuilt, but many places had already been repaired. Only the faint cracks in the city walls covered up the past war.
"Unknowingly, so many years have passed." Tsunade sighed, "But Konoha hasn't changed."
Tsunade stood in front of Konoha's gate, feeling a little mixed up. After so many years, the inside seemed to be the same as before.
However, she never thought she would come back, to carry on her grandfather's legacy and continue Nawaki and Dan's dreams.
"No, Konoha has changed, but you just haven't noticed it yet." Neji glanced at Tsunade and said softly.
If you want to get rid of Konoha's corruption, you have to get rid of Danzo first. He can't be kept around anymore, no matter how you look at it...
"Maybe." Tsunade looked at Neji and then continued to look at Konoha, murmuring, "Is this what it feels like to come home?"
Neji knew that Tsunade was still a little uneasy, but time was running out. So, he took Tsunade's hand and walked into Konoha.
"The host holds hands with Tsunade, and receives the reward [Wood Release: Wood Clone]."
Wood Release: Wood Clone: Creates a Wood Release clone that is completely identical to the user. Ordinary people cannot tell the difference.
Neji suddenly stopped walking, looking at the reward he received with some shock.
Wood Release, Senju Hashirama's ability, he could actually get it from Tsunade?!
That's right, Neji realized. Tsunade was Senju Hashirama's granddaughter. According to the reward rules, Neji could indeed get Wood Release.
Neji was a little excited. Wood Release was very strong, and it had power far beyond other Ninjutsu-type bloodline abilities. It was a power that came from the Divine Tree. Senju Hashirama once used Wood Release to calm the ninja world's riots, treat the Nine Tails as a pet, and even suppress Uchiha Madara the whole time.
If he could control this power, think about the future. He could summon wooden men and wooden dragons, and then use True Several Thousand Hands. He could also transform into the Yamata no Orochi. Hehe, even Madara would have to kneel.
If his Chakra was big enough, he could create a few more wood clones, and each wood clone could use these Ninjutsu. Then… the picture was too good to look at.
Many people thought the Clone Technique was the most useless Ninjutsu, but once the Clone Technique was developed to the extreme, it would have extremely scary power. A typical example was Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone technique.
If one couldn't beat the enemy, he would summon a group. Who could handle that? Even in the later stages, Naruto still relied on this move to make many strong people suffer. Even Kaguya was almost tricked because she wasn't careful.
What's more, these were wood clones. In terms of strength and usefulness, wood clones were even stronger than Shadow Clones.
Neji took a deep breath and calmed his excited mood. He suddenly remembered something and suddenly pulled Tsunade towards the hospital.
Kakashi and the others should still be in the hospital. Before taking Tsunade back, he should let Tsunade heal them first.
"Neji, what are you doing?" Tsunade asked in confusion.
"There are a few patients at the hospital."
"I understand." Tsunade nodded. Whether she was the Hokage or not, she was first and foremost a medical ninja and couldn't leave patients unattended.
Arriving at Konoha Hospital, Neji's eyebrows twitched almost without being seen when he saw Kakashi lying on the bed with a look of being done with life. How big of a blow did he take? Judging by the look of it, it wasn't going to be over in ten or fifteen days.
"Neji, you're back." Kurenai Yuhi greeted him happily when she saw Neji return.
She and Might Guy had been taking care of Kakashi and Asuma during this time, but their condition hadn't improved at all.
Kakashi was还好, it was just that he had suffered some blows and would recover in a few days, but Asuma…
"Ah." Neji replied softly, then turned to look at Might Guy: "Guy-sensei, where's Asuma-sensei?"
Neji clearly remembered that Asuma should also be lying here.
"Here, this is it." Might Guy pointed to a lump of something in front of him and said to Neji helplessly.
Neji looked in the direction of Might Guy's finger…
"What the heck is that?!" Neji couldn't help but ask.
A huge oval egg lay on a hospital bed near the window, with only a bruised and swollen pig-like head sticking out, breathing out puffs of hot air from time to time.
"That's not Asuma-sensei, is it?" Neji asked uncertainly.
But what he got was Might Guy's confirmation.
Neji turned around, looking blankly at Asuma who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and was deeply shocked.
This was too miserable. What kind of hatred did Kisame have against Asuma? Tsk tsk tsk, judging by the look of it, you should just lie down quietly.
"Are you asking me to heal the two of them?" At this time, the quiet Tsunade spoke.
It was only then that Kurenai Yuhi and Might Guy noticed Tsunade behind Neji, and they immediately exclaimed, "You are… Tsunade-sama!"
Tsunade-sama had actually returned! Neji had succeeded!
"That's great, with Tsunade-sama personally taking action, Kakashi and the others will definitely recover soon."
"Yes, there is no time to lose, please Tsunade-sama take action."
Tsunade nodded and walked to Kakashi's bed, murmuring, "That's Kakashi, that little brat. I didn't expect him to be so grown up in the blink of an eye."
Tsunade felt a little sentimental. She remembered that when she left, Kakashi was just a child. She never thought he would be so grown up now, although his hair was a little bit out of the ordinary.
"So, who was it that beat him up like this?"
