Chapter 220: Chapter 220: War life is actually quite good.
Raijin knew about the plan Tsunade wrote, after all, she wrote it in the bedroom last night.
Heh... Raijin really didn't know.
Tsunade wrote it just before dawn, and Raijin was sleeping soundly at that time.
On the first day after the war ended, Raijin unexpectedly felt that life during the war was actually quite good.
"I really didn't expect you hadn't seen this plan."
In the Hokage's office, Senju Tobirama looked helplessly at Raijin sitting beside him.
After some discussion, Senju Tobirama finally confirmed that Raijin hadn't read a single word of the plan.
"Tsunade didn't give me a chance to read it..."
Raijin pursed his lips and lowered his head, stating a fact.
Senju Tobirama looked to the side, speechless.
"Sigh... I understand that you don't want to be Hokage, but if Tsunade becomes Hokage in the future, you'll still need to look after her."
Skipping the previous topic, Senju Tobirama said to Raijin.
"Of course."
Raijin nodded. Even if Senju Tobirama didn't say it, Raijin wouldn't stand by and do nothing if Tsunade was in trouble.
"Tsunade wants to be Hokage, and as her grandfather, I naturally support her. For now, the war isn't over yet, so I mean to let Tsunade be the commander and deal with Amegakure."
Senju Tobirama said to Raijin.
"Okay."
Raijin nodded. Sunagakure and Iwagakure still needed to negotiate, but Amegakure, that was really...
If even Amegakure makes peace, then it's likely that other small hidden villages won't have any other ideas about Konohagakure.
Moreover, this is a good opportunity for Tsunade.
Although Tsunade is still very young, since Senju Tobirama plans to train her to be Hokage, he won't care about others' opinions.
After all, whether it's political power or strength, being Hokage is not difficult for Tsunade.
"Then you and Tsunade get ready and head straight to the border of the Land of Grass."
Senju Tobirama nodded and said to Raijin.
"Okay."
Raijin stood up and left the Hokage's office.
Amegakure...
I wonder if I can meet Uzumaki Nagato with the Rinnegan.
I don't even know if Uzumaki Nagato is born yet.
If he is, he should be in Amegakure.
After all, it shouldn't be difficult for Black Zetsu.
If Black Zetsu can't even do that, then he's not worthy of being an opponent.
But these things don't matter to Raijin anymore.
If it were before Suisei went missing, Raijin could have crushed the Rinnegan without any hesitation.
But now, Raijin can't do that anymore.
If he did, and if he were in Black Zetsu's position, without the Rinnegan,
how would the Eye of the Moon plan proceed? Raijin has no idea.
And if Black Zetsu thinks the Eye of the Moon plan can't proceed in the short term, Suisei's safety can't be guaranteed.
Raijin can't be sure if Black Zetsu would kill Suisei out of anger.
So, he can't leave Black Zetsu with no options.
Really... Black Zetsu...
Truly a schemer who has lived for thousands of years.
...
In the third training ground, Jiraiya said to Tsunade in disbelief.
Not only Jiraiya, but even Orochimaru was a bit surprised.
In Orochimaru's view, if Hokage-sama skipped the previous generation of ninjas and chose a successor from their generation,
Uchiha Raijin would be more suitable than Tsunade.
Whether in terms of personality or strength.
So, did Raijin give up the position of Hokage?
Or...
"It's just a commander, what's there to be surprised about?"
Leaning in Raijin's arms, Tsunade lazily waved her hand.
"It doesn't make sense, there are so many Jonin in the village, why make a special Jonin the commander?"
Jiraiya asked in confusion.
"Idiot, because Hokage-sama is preparing to make Tsunade the Third Hokage..."
Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya helplessly.
Actually, whether Tsunade or Raijin becomes Hokage doesn't make much difference to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru isn't interested in becoming Hokage.
Right now, Orochimaru is very interested in the permanent Senjutsu that Raijin and Tsunade are developing.
"The Third Hokage?"
Jiraiya blinked instinctively and remained silent.
"It should be difficult, right?"
After a long time, Jiraiya said quietly.
Jiraiya wasn't interested in becoming Hokage at all, but he was a bit worried about his companion becoming Hokage.
After all, no matter how you look at it, ninjas like their teacher would have a hard time listening to Tsunade, right? "As the granddaughter of the First and Second Hokage, especially since the Second is still alive, as long as Tsunade says the right thing, no one would dare to disobey."
Orochimaru shook his head. He saw this very clearly.
"Seems like it..."
Jiraiya said softly, realizing the truth.
"I'm not worried, so why are you? Instead of worrying, why not think about how to deal with the problem of Amegakure?"
Tsunade interrupted, looking at Jiraiya.
As the commander for the first time, Tsunade was quite concerned about the issue of Amegakure.
"As for Amegakure... it's a good place for Raijin to use his Ninjutsu. We just need to attack step by step."
Orochimaru pondered for a moment. The Konohagakure forces deployed in the Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers could easily form a pincer attack on Amegakure.
Once the battle started, there was no comparison between the number of Genin, Chunin, and Jonin.
So, if the goal was just to defeat Amegakure, it wouldn't be difficult at all.
"Don't be lazy."
Tsunade lifted her head from Raijin's embrace, her white neck fully visible.
"Lazy? How could I be?"
Raijin smiled indulgently at Tsunade.
"It's just that no one knows what will come first, tomorrow or an accident. Who knows if someone might get sick or not adapt to the environment of the Land of Rain?"
As Tsunade looked at him with satisfaction, Raijin's tone changed, and the indulgent smile on his lips subtly shifted.
"Crunch~"
Tsunade's satisfied smile slowly froze, and she bit her teeth lightly. Raijin clearly heard the sound of her teeth clenching.
