Chereads / I, The New Hokage of Konoha / Chapter 44 - Go to the Roots

Chapter 44 - Go to the Roots

Tsunade shook her head: "Compared to Konoha's rules, I am freer outside and accustomed to such things. Besides, I have seen too many things when I go back, so it is inevitable that I will be in a bad mood."

She, who had witnessed the Senju Clan from prosperous to lonely, did not like to look at people's thoughts.

Seeing Tsunade's firm attitude, Yuki did not try to persuade her anymore and just said: "By the way, I asked some poor villagers to stay in some houses in the Senju Clan. Let me tell you."

"It is also empty. Let them live." Tsunade said indifferently.

"Okay, I will go first. I still need to prepare for the Wood Style experiment. I will remind you later."

"Sure."

"Sometimes, I should come back and take a look."

"Okay."

"Don't gamble later and drink less. At least be a good example for the little girl beside you."

"Since when have you been so fussy? You are even more annoying than the third-generation old man! Let's go!"

"Okay! Don't forget the bet between us."

Bang!

Yuki turned into a cloud of white smoke and disappeared from the Shikkotsu Forest.

Tsunade was stunned.

Bet?

What bet?

Oh, right.

She had previously made a bet with Yuki that the other party cultivated immortal arts.

If the latter succeeded, then she had to unconditionally agree to one thing.

Before this, she was absolutely full of confidence in this matter.

But now, when she thought about how Yuki possessed the Wood Style Technique and that his grandfather, who also possessed the Wood Style Technique, had also successfully cultivated immortal arts, she instantly panicked.

"Live Slug!" Tsunade immediately shouted.

"Lord Tsunade, do you have any orders?" The live slug that was always on standby quickly appeared in front of Tsunade.

Tsunade asked: "How is the cultivation of that kid, Yuki?"

The living slug replied happily: "Very good! Lord Yuki, who has Wood Style, can offset the negative effects of Shikkotsu Forest. The cultivation progress is very fast."

Tsunade heard this, and her face changed. "So, there is a high chance that he has successfully cultivated an immortal technique?"

"Yes," nodded the living slug.

Speaking of this, Tsunade's face was dark.

She knew that she was going to lose the bet again.

"Live - Slug." She weakly spoke again.

"Yes, Lord Tsunade." Living Slug was still full of vitality.

"You already knew that Yuki knew Wood Style."

"Yes."

"So when Yuki began to cultivate immortal arts, you also expected that he would succeed?"

"However, the probability is very high. After all, even if there is Wood Style, there is still a risk."

"Even so, why didn't you remind me about this?"

"You didn't ask about it. In addition, Lord Yuki also specifically said that he should not expose his Wood Style. So, I am sorry, Lord Tsunade."

Having witnessed the bet between Yuki and Tsunade, he naturally knew what Tsunade felt.

He would have the same expression whenever the other party lost all his money and hid here.

It was just that this time, it was more prosperous.

In contrast, it could only express its apologies.

Tsunade no longer had an interest in communicating.

She had already habitually started to think about running away.

After all, who knew what the brat would bring up at that time?

However, when she remembered that Yuki had just drawn a big pancake for him, her idea of running away immediately vanished.

Tsunade looked down at the peak of her world, her face cloudy and hard to tell.

Could it be that... he really wanted to sell out his sex appeal?

...

In the Hokage's office in Konoha.

Since he had promised Tsunade to do the awakening research,

Yuki didn't delay, and soon after he returned, he began to carry out the plan.

Apart from research specimens, the most important thing for a research experiment was undoubtedly the researchers and funds.

Konoha did not lack such talents in terms of personnel, and as the Hokage, Yuki could easily mobilize them.

As for the funds, although he said that he would not give Tsunade a single cent, he always left a large portion for her in his heart. Now, he just took a portion of it out to put into research, which was also the best use of everything.

The two were in place, which meant that the experiment could start soon.

This was related to the Wood Style, and Yuki had deliberately increased this experiment's secrecy level to top secret.

This also meant that in addition to the experimental man, in the whole of Konoha, only he, as the Hokage, was qualified to know the information of this research experiment.

After all, among the research specimens, in addition to Konoha's precious Pillar Cells, there were also his and Tsunade's blood cells.

In addition, as an unexpected person, the youth named "Yamato" would also provide assistance.

Although the other party was still under the control of Root, Yuki would immediately take him out.

As a Senju Clan, he was qualified to take back all the items of Wood Release.

At the same time, he could also beat RootRoot.

The latter was an existence that was free from the power of the Hokage, and under the third generation's indulgence, it had now formed a momentum that could not be lost.

He would not allow such an uncontrollable organization to continue to grow.

Right now, he could not force this huge underground organization to disband without sufficient reason.

However, there were still some restrictions that needed to be sanctioned.

Thinking of this, Yuki suddenly spoke, "Someone come!"

"Lord Hokage!" An Anbu appeared, half kneeling on the ground.

Yuki ordered, "Send all the information on Root to me."

"Yes!" As soon as he finished speaking, the Anbu disappeared again.

Although the members of RootRoot would be planted with the seal of the RootRoot on the tongue after entering the position, they could not reveal the situation of RootRoot.

However, the latter was still a part of Konoha, and even if they had their own channels, they still had to rely on the support of Konoha.

This also meant that Konoha had always known the details of RootRoot.

This was also one of the reasons why the three generations had allowed RootRoot to develop, apart from personal feelings.

Of course, no matter how much they understood, there would always be places that RootRoot couldn't reach under the cover.

For example, the various forbidden experiments that Root and Orochimaru conducted, such as the Sharingan, Yamato, etc.

These people and things were buried deep in the ground, and sunlight could not be seen.

However, once it was uncovered, it meant that there was no more rebuttal.

What Yuki had to do right away was uncover the one thing he had the most confidence in.

...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Shadows were shuttling through the dense forest, scaring away the nearby beasts.

"How far is it?" The person in the lead was wearing the Hokage's robe and was the current 4th Hokage - Yuki Senju.

"Lord Hokage, it's almost three kilometres away." Beside him, the Anbu wearing a black robe and a cat-faced mask, replied.

Yuki said, "I didn't expect Danzo to set up roots so far away. Let's speed up!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, the entire team increased their speed.
