Under the polite farewells of the Third Raikage and the Kumogakure ninja, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.
In the house, he had a pretty good chat with the Third Raikage, and he expressed his and Iwagakure's heartbreak and condolences for Kumogakure's great sacrifice.
At the same time, Onoki also said that Iwagakure stands as an ally and will provide some necessary material support to Kumogakure.
This is something that Ohnoki and the Third Raikage had three talks before, but nothing was discussed.
Following Ohnoki out of the house, there were two ninjas from Iwagakure, one of whom was a member of the Shadow Guard, and the other was the Tsuchikage assistant, responsible for administrative affairs.
"Lord Tsuchikage, Konoha's conspiracy has failed, Kumogakure was not fooled." Tsuchikage's shadow guard, Iwagakure Jonin, showed a hint of joy on his face.
Ohnoki felt exhausted mentally and physically without answering this idiot's subordinate's words.
In terms of official talks, he and the Third Raikage had indeed tacitly positioned the Kizaru attack as a sinister move by Konoha to provoke an alliance between the two major ninja villages.
But are you blind? Didn't you see the way the other Kumogakure ninjas in the room looked at us?
Obviously, other Kumogakure ninjas have lowered their trust in Iwagakure, and have transferred part of their resentment for the sacrifice of their companions to Iwagakure.
This thing is so damn unfair!
Damn Kizaru! Damn Konoha! I.
Ohnoki felt panicked in his heart and was holding back a breath of air. He didn't know where to send it?
"What's so funny? Are you happy that something happened to your ally? Run around the village ten times!" Ohnoki criticized as he turned to look at his shadow guard and saw the residual smile on his face.
After saying that, Onoki flew up, flew in front of his subordinate, and slapped his forehead with his palm.
"Yes!" With a confused and innocent look on his face, the jounin of Iwagakure responded with a sullen face, raised his hands, and started running forward.
Looking at the backs of his men running away, Onoki looked at his assistant again.
The assistant covered his mouth, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. Seeing Master Tsuchikage looking at him, he quickly put his hands down and made a serious expression.
Seeing this, Onoki regained his composure a little, fell from the air, and continued walking towards the Tsuchikage Building.
In the Country of Fire, Konoha Village, in the root's underground base, Kizaru is standing in the ward where Zenhiko lives.
Half a step away from Kizaru, Danzo stood beside and behind Kizaru, with a smile that made people feel like spring breeze.
"The medical ninja at the root are no worse than those at Konoha Hospital. Yoshihiko's body is no longer seriously injured, and the injuries to his internal organs are also recovering." Danzo did not mention Yoshihiko's disabled injuries, lest Yoshihiko would be sad after hearing this, and Kizaru listened. Angry again.
"Uncle, please go out first! I want to talk to this boy alone." Kizaru's expression was calm, and the anger in his heart had been vented.
Lying on the hospital bed, Yoshihiko looked a little surprised and a little uncomfortable when he saw Brother Kizaru who had suddenly arrived. He turned his head and looked to the other side, not wanting Brother Kizaru to see his bad appearance.
Reaching out and patting Kizaru's arm, Danzo did not continue to speak, but followed Kizaru's instructions, turned around and left the ward.
Hearing the sound of Danzo closing the door, Kizaru took a few steps forward and walked to the bedside.
"What? Don't you want to see me? Shanyan!"
Without speaking, Shan Yan still maintained his previous posture, turning his head to look at the other side.
However, Zen Yan's left eye, which was not wrapped with gauze, was slightly red.
Seeing that Yoshihiko ignored him, Kizaru did not continue to speak. He could probably feel what his little brother was thinking.
Because he was seriously injured and disabled during the mission, he felt that he was incompetent, and even felt that he was a waste and had no face to see his big brother.
Kizaru gently pushed Zenuhiko to the other side of the bed, and Kizaru sat directly on the hospital bed.
"This mattress is good. Is it comfortable for you to lie down on?"
Because of the movement of his body and Kizaru's pushing, Yoshihiko's injury was affected, causing him to frown and almost scream out from the pain.
"Are you still ignoring me? If you don't say anything, I'll leave." Putting one foot on the bed and leaning half of his body against the head of the bed, Kizaru clasped his hands on his chest, lowered his head and looked at Zenyan with a smile. .
Pursing his lips, Shanyan really didn't know what to say.
"I went to the Country of Grass in the afternoon."
Hearing that Kizaru had gone to the Land of Grass, Yoshihiko reacted for the first time. He wanted to hurry up, but was restricted by his body and could only slowly turn his head and look at his elder brother.
"Do you want to know what I'm going to do?" Kizaru looked into Zenuhiko's one eye, deliberately trying to hide it.
I was wondering if Brother Kizaru went to the Country of Grass to avenge himself? Shan Yan opened his mouth slightly and softly said "Hmm!"
"I will go to the Land of Grass and kill all the Kumogakure ninjas stationed there." Kizaru said in an understatement.
His left eye suddenly widened. Yoshihiko, who had escaped from the Land of Grass, knew that there were a large number of Kumogakure ninjas stationed there, and understood how shocking the killing was in Brother Kizaru's relaxed words.
"Are you not injured?" Shan Yan asked concernedly.
"No! It's just that my clothes were a little stained and I was taught a lesson by sister Keiko." Kizaru deliberately made a sad expression.
Seeing the change in Kizaru's expression, Yoshihiko felt much better and couldn't help but laugh.
"Originally, I was planning to kill all the ninjas from Iwagakure. However, I thought about it at the time. If I only killed the ninjas from Kumogakure and spared the ninjas from Iwagakure, would it make both parties suspicious of each other? Just for the time being. The ninja who spared Iwagakure.”
After staying at the root for more than three years, Yoshihiko is no longer the innocent boy he was before. He understands the power of Kizaru's conspiracy.
"Brother Kizaru, you are so dark!" Zen Yan said with a smile.
Reaching out and tapping the little brother next to him on the head, Kizaru corrected him: "This is called wit."
"Yeah! Witty!" Shan Yan quickly corrected himself.
Getting off the bed, Kizaru no longer grabbed Zenuhiko's not-so-spacious bed. He held the armrest of the hospital bed with one hand and bent down to look down at Zenuhiko.
"Take good care of your injury. After you recover, I will take you to transplant a right hand and install an eye." Kizaru was not comforting Yoshihiko, but he was really confident that he could do it.
Kizaru, who has watched the anime, knows that in the finale, after Naruto and Sasuke exchanged hands, Tsunade used Hashirama cells to clone and transplant a new hand for him.
Future Tsunade is able to do this with Hashirama cells. In the current village, with the cooperation of Orochimaru and Tsunade, the research and development of Hashirama cells is very advanced, and it is fully possible.
Hearing Kizaru's words, Yoshihiko was completely excited. If his right hand and right eye could really be re-transplanted, then his ninja career would be able to move forward. His dream of becoming Kizaru's right-hand man also retains the hope of realizing it. .
"What eyes do you want? Byakugan? Sharingan? Or ordinary eyes?" Kizaru said half jokingly and half sincerely.
With Kizaru's current status and strength, if he wants to get an eye from the Uchiha clan or the Hyuga clan that they saved and sacrificed, there is still a high probability of success.
Shocked by Kizaru's words, Yoshihiko instinctively opened his mouth wide, causing the injury to cause his whole face to become a little distorted.
"Not to comfort you, the village is conducting research on cloning organs using Hashirama cells. Your arms and eyes can be quickly cloned using Hashirama cells.
Of course, if you want the Byakugan or Sharingan, it's a little more difficult, but I can still do it.
Just to remind you, if you transplant the Byakugan or Sharingan, you can only keep it open all the time, which will continue to consume your chakra. "
"No, I just want the cloned eyes." Shanyan said quickly.
"Then you can recuperate here!" Kizaru patted the armrest and said with a smile.
With hope again, the gloom in Shan Yan's heart was swept away, and the smile of the past returned to his face.
"Then I'll go first, bye!" Kizaru raised his hand and waved his fingers back and forth to signal farewell.
"Bye!" Zenhiko carefully raised his left hand and waved to Kizaru.
After leaving the ward, Kizaru went to Danzo's office. After saying goodbye to his uncle, he left the root underground base.
After leaving the roots, Kizaru did not go home, but went directly to the Senju clan's territory, preparing to talk to Tsunade tonight about the project of using Hashirama cells to clone organs and treat disabled people.
"Have you eaten?" Wearing everyday home clothes and holding a bowl of instant noodles in her hand, Tsunade asked calmly facing Kizaru who suddenly arrived.
Kizaru didn't show any restraint. He took off his shoes and walked into the house. He walked directly to the living room and sat on the sofa.
"Are you eating instant noodles alone at home?" Kizaru said sarcastically as he looked at Tsunade who was coming with instant noodles.
"Kushina and Minato went out on a date." At this point, Tsunade paused intentionally and glared at Kizaru angrily.
There's this bastard who hasn't dated me for five days!
"Shengshu spent time in the scientific research institute and experimental field, and hasn't come back for a week. I'm at home alone, and no one cares about me, so I can only eat instant noodles casually."
Hearing resentment from Tsunade's words, Kizaru quickly left the sofa and stood up, taking a few steps forward and walking to Tsunade's side.
Reaching out to remove the instant noodle bowl from Tsunade's hand and placing it on the table next to her, Kizaru held her in his arms.
"Let's go out for dinner tonight!" Kizaru said softly, deliberately lowering his head and getting closer to Tsunade's ear.
Smiling with satisfaction, Tsunade twisted slightly, "I've eaten half of the instant noodles, and you came to me?"
"It's okay, you can eat it!" Kizaru comforted him honestly.
Her smile froze, her expression changed, and Tsunade's right elbow hit back hard.
Leaning back, Kizaru deliberately hugged Tsunade, turned half a circle, and fell on the sofa.
"Let me go!" Whether it was because of shyness or the interaction just now, Tsunade's cheeks turned slightly red.
"I was injured by you and I can't get up." Kizaru said shamelessly.
"You" Tsunade was about to speak when she felt Kizaru hugging her tighter and closing her mouth.
Lying quietly in Kizaru's arms, Tsunade enjoyed this moment so much that she didn't even want to go out to eat.
With Nephrite in his arms and smelling Tsunade's body fragrance, Kizaru couldn't bear to let go.
Neither of them spoke or made any other movements on the sofa, they just held each other quietly.
After a while, Kizaru spoke.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Kizaru, is something wrong with you?"
"It's just a small matter. Let's talk while eating later."
"Um!"
After finishing speaking, Kizaru let go of his hands holding Tsunade, and together with Tsunade, he left the sofa and stood up.
"Wait a minute, I'll change clothes." After tidying up her slightly messy clothes that revealed her spring glory, Tsunade walked towards the bedroom.
It always takes some time for a woman to change clothes and put on makeup. Kizaru sat on the sofa and waited for about half an hour when Tsunade finally came out of the bedroom.
"Let's go!"
Kizaru stood up with a smile, walked to Tsunade, held her hand, lowered his head and praised: "It's so beautiful!"
Tsunade said nothing, but the smile on her face grew a little more.
Leaving the Senju Clan's territory and going to the commercial street in the center of the village, Kizaru and Tsunade discussed as they walked and chose a frequently visited izakaya as a place to eat.
Asking for a corner booth, Kizaru and Tsunade sat opposite each other.
Tsunade did not ask Kizaru what happened as soon as she came up. Instead, she and Kizaru chatted about daily life and shared their work and life these days.
Tsunade knew that there were some things that didn't need to be pushed. If Kizaru wanted to tell him, he would naturally tell her.
This is the mutual understanding and tacit understanding the two have accumulated after being together for more than three years.
After the waiter brought all the drinks and food, Kizaru drank a glass of sake and ate something, and then began to talk about Yoshihiko and Kusano Kuni.
After listening to Kizaru's story in silence, Tsunade did not interrupt. She waited until Kizaru finished speaking before speaking.
"Theoretically, it is possible to use columnar cells to quickly clone organs and transplant them for disabled patients."
Tsunade did not have the urge to blame Kizaru, nor did she nag him something that Kizaru must have been tired of hearing, but instead answered the question directly.
"Can it be realized with the existing technology?" Huang Yuan is concerned about whether there are any difficulties with the current technology.
After Tsunade thought carefully for a moment, she replied aloud: "It can be achieved, but it needs to be tested first."
"No problem. The village will invest part of the funds required for the test, and the Shimura clan will take care of the remaining gap."
"What good things are you thinking about? I will also vote for this project."
"Hahaha, I will inform other ninjas to see if they are willing."
Treating disabled people by cloning organs definitely has huge business potential in the world of ninjas. Kizaru just thought about treating Yoshihiko as soon as possible and ignored this.
"Tomorrow, I will go to Orochimaru and finalize this project." Tsunade understood Kizaru's thoughts and said proactively.
"Then it's up to you, Sister Tsunade!" Kizaru said with a smile as he looked at Tsunade.
Patting Kizaru lightly, Tsunade always felt a little shy every time she heard this private nickname between the two of them in public places.
Starting tomorrow, I will unpack and update.
