Although Tsunade and Kakashi made preparations for Pain's invasion, they still inevitably suffered some losses.
Of course, this loss was only an economic loss, and there were no casualties.
The battle between Naruto and Sasuke with Pain damaged many houses in Konoha.
These need to be rebuilt.
As for the cost, Konoha will naturally have to bear it.
Pain's turmoil has come to an end now.
And now that the Akatsuki has lost its leader, in the next period of time, it will enter a dormant period.
They lost Pain, but they gained an extra member which was Orochimaru.
Hokage Office.
Tsunade sits in the Hokage's seat, and Kakashi and Shisui are standing opposite her.
Tsunade looked at Shisui and said with a smile: "Uchiha Shisui, known as Shunshin no Shisui, and also known as Uchiha Clan's strongest Genjutsu user. This is the first time we have met in the true sense."
Shisui respectfully said: "The name of Tsunade-sama has been heard by me from childhood."
"Haha, Kakashi has told me about you. You are indeed excellent. Back then, you were forced to leave the village, so I hope you can forgive me. But now, you are not suitable for appearing on the bright side, so I will make you become the leader of the Root. You will take care of everything about the Root, including cleaning up Danzo's loyal subordinates."
"Yes, Tsunade-sama!"
Kakashi patted Shisui on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Shisui, congratulations, you have finally returned to Konoha."
When Shisui heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
As he is born as a Konoha's villager, Shisui's feelings for Konoha are naturally self-evident.
Although he was forced to leave the village all these times, Shisui has always wanted to come back.
Although he still can't appear in the village in an open manner, becoming the leader of the Root is another form of return.
"Thank you, Kakashi."
Shisui knew that Tsunade would make such an arrangement was because of Kakashi.
Otherwise, Tsunade will not give the position of a large organization like the Root to him.
Kakashi smiled and said nothing.
Tsunade looked at the two and said: "After this incident, you two will begin to transfer the people from Ochagakure into Konoha. Especially the Hatake Clan, you must properly arrange them."
"Yes, Tsunade-sama!" The two answered in unison.
After the three discussed some more things, Kakashi and Shisui left the office.
Watching the two leave, Tsunade was quite pleased.
Shizune, who was on the side, said at this time: "I didn't expect that the famous Uchiha Shisui is still alive. This may be a good news for the Uchiha Clan."
Tsunade nodded and said: "For the Uchiha Clan, it is indeed a good news. But for Konoha, I don't know if it is good or bad."
"Huh? Why did Tsunade-sama say so?"
"Shizune, in fact, although I am not very hostile to the Uchiha Clan, I am quite worried about them. After all, my granduncle, Nidaime Hokage once suppressed the Uchiha Clan, indicating that this clan does have certain problems."
"What do you mean, Tsunade-sama?"
"The Uchiha Clan now is too strong. The Mangekyō Sharingan was originally a rare thing that only awakens once in a century. I heard that back then, Uchiha Madara and his younger brother Uchiha Izuna are the only two who awakened Mangekyō Sharingan. But now, Fugaku, Shisui, Itachi, and Sasuke, all have Mangekyō Sharingan."
"And once Mangekyō Sharingan is activated, it is equivalent to having Kage-level strength. After they can use it proficiently, the user will surpass ordinary Kage-level expert. The Uchiha Clan alone now has four Mangekyō Sharingan, meaning they have four Kage-level experts. Externally, they naturally have become a great deterrent for the other village. But internally, it is difficult to guarantee whether the coup d'état that happened eight years ago will be repeated."
Tsunade said while frowning. It was obvious that she was worried about this.
Although she is not good at politics, she still understands the threats.
The four Kage-level experts can be said to be the strongest combat power of a great village, and even surpass some of the great villages.
It should be known that Sunagakure right now only has three Kage-level experts, which are Gaara, Chiyo and Ebizō.
Among them, Chiyo and Ebizō are both very old now and their combat powers have been greatly reduced. Whether they still have Kage-level strength or not remains to be determined.
In Kirigakure, there is only one which is Terumi Mei on the bright side.
And it is unknown whether there is any other who managed to breakthrough. Even if there are people who managed to breakthrough, there may be only two Kage-level experts added.
As for Iwagakure, there is only Sandaime Tsuchikage on the bright side.
It is precisely because Iwagakure has no other expert that Sandaime Tsuchikage still holds the position of Tsuchikage at the age of nearly eighty years old.
In Kumogakure, there is Killer B and Yondaime Raikage.
Excluding the uncertain factors about the hidden Kage-level experts, the other Four Great Shinobi Villages together only have eight Kage-level experts.
But now, there are four in the Uchiha Clan.
Moreover, Shisui and Itachi is not someone that ordinary Kage-level experts can fight against.
To put it bluntly, if Shisui and Itachi teamed up, it may be not difficult for them to defeat four Kage-level experts at once.
It can be seen how powerful the Uchiha Clan has become.
Once this force becomes restless, things will become very troublesome.
After Shizune listen to Tsunade's explanation, she also felt that this force was too strong.
The sword has double edges, which can hurt the enemy as well as yourself.
"Tsunade-sama, now that things have developed into this, it seems that we didn't have any solution."
Tsunade nodded and said: "Uchiha Clan's strength is already too powerful. There is nothing we can do about this. Fortunately, whether it is Shisui or Itachi, they are loyal to Konoha, so we don't have to worry about it for a while. As for Sasuke, he is Kakashi's students and regarded Kakashi in a very high position, so he also won't do anything bad for Konoha. Fugaku is a person who longs for peace, and does not have much ambition, so there is no problem for the time being."
"That should be no problem. What's more, Sasuke, Shisui and Itachi, all have a deep relationship with Kakashi-senpai, so the future will be fine." Shizune said
Tsunade nodded in agreement.
"Well, I will leave this matter to Kakashi. After all, this situation is also caused by him. He should know what to do about it." Tsunade said with a smile.
"I believe that Kakashi-senpai has the ability to suppress all of this. At the battle against Pain this time, Kakashi-senpai's strength is really terrifying."
Shizune said, remembering the shocking battle from before.
"Indeed, it's been a long time since I saw Kakashi using his full power. That terrifying strength reminds me of my grandfather. I wonder if Kakashi has touched the threshold of that realm or not."
"Did Kakashi-senpai surpass the Shodaime Hokage? There no way that it could be true." Shizune said in surprise.
Senju Hashirama, the god of the Shinobi World. Anyone who has seen his mighty power, except Uchiha Madara, dare not say that they can surpass him.
Tsunade's gaze moved to Hokage Rock outside the window.
The head of Hashirama was sculpted on the cliff, staring quietly at the whole village.
It seems that he is still guarding the village.
"Who knows. That guy's strength now is something I can't see through."
