Look at you, so anxious!
Yamanaka Kei indeed felt that either option was fine.
If everyone chose the first option, they could quickly eliminate the White Zetsu, then annex Mist Village, reducing the chance of being discovered by the Ōtsutsuki Clan in the short term.
Slowly cultivate management talents who could take over from the Daimyo, and establish corresponding management institutions.
Gradually bring the Land of Fire, Land of Wind, Land of Water, Land of Earth, Land of Lightning, and the surrounding small countries all together.
Form a stable and unified situation, developing peacefully.
If they chose the second option, they could see if Kaguya Otsutsuki had any good traits, and also learn some of her explosive techniques.
While they were at it, they could use the Ten Tails as bait to fish, and see how many Otsutsuki would come out.
Either way, both options would involve war.
And both would achieve his goal of reducing the gaps and conflicts between the major Ninja Villages.
In fact, Yamanaka Kei felt that the second option was even better than the first!
Having Ōtsutsuki Clan members popping up from time to time would create a sense of crisis for the merged five great Ninja Villages.
No matter how many conflicts there were, they would be suppressed when facing external enemies.
Over time.
These conflicts would naturally fade into history!
It was just that, in that case, Tsunade and Kushina would probably have to work hard.
After all, with the [Plane Traveler] trait, he couldn't stay in the Ninja World peacefully all the time.
In case the Ōtsutsuki Clan took the opportunity to jump out when he wasn't around.
Tsunade, as the Hokage, and mastering Sage Mode, would definitely be one of the main combat forces!
And Kushina, as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, would become the opponent's main target, unable to avoid it.
However, his [Yin Yang Sage Master] had just been upgraded to [Heavenly Evolution Spirit Lord], and he had completely understood the essence of various energies in the Naruto world, so it was time to give Tsunade some more intensity.
As for Kushina, theoretically, the Uzumaki Bloodline did have the possibility of mastering Sage Mode.
But Yamanaka Kei actually preferred to have her work hard to improve the [Magical Girl Transformation] trait.
Just look at Madoka Kaname as a magical girl.
To see how high the upper limit of this thing is!
In addition, the nature of magical energy is completely different from Chakra, and the abilities of the Ōtsutsuki Clan cannot absorb it. Improving the level of Magical Girl Transformation is far more cost-effective than pursuing Sage Mode from afar!
...
The Village Merger negotiations, which lasted for more than two full days, ended.
Pakura, Kitsuchi, and Third Raikage led the ninjas who followed them back to their respective villages, and began to mobilize manpower at the fastest speed to gather on the east coast of the Land of Fire.
Tsunade and others also returned to Konoha under Yamanaka Kei's Flying Thunder God Technique.
Namikaze Minato led nearly a thousand Konoha ninjas from the border, dismantled the original camp, and hurried to the east coast to clear the camp site for the subsequent Ninja Alliance main force.
One order after another was issued from the Hokage's office.
The reorganized Konoha, like a sophisticated large-scale war machine, began to operate rapidly.
Supplies stored in the Logistics Department were continuously transported out.
Batch after batch of Konoha ninjas escorted large quantities of war equipment to the east coastline!
Sarutobi Hiruzen also led all Sarutobi Clan ninjas over the age of twelve, joining the expedition and heading to the front lines.
The ninja clans within Konoha saw this.
Regardless of their inner thoughts, under the overwhelming trend, they took out all their family assets!
The tense atmosphere of war made the usually bustling and lively streets of Konoha become deserted.
"Old man, he's changed..."
Tsunade rested her hands on the windowsill of the Hokage's office, her tone unusually tinged with melancholy and regret.
Mobilizing all family ninjas over the age of twelve to participate in the war.
And being prepared to die at any moment.
Her teacher seemed to be different after stepping down from the position of Hokage!
This attitude was clearly telling her that all the ninjas of their Sarutobi Clan could die in battle, but please do not harm those children and vulnerable women who have not yet grown up.
"Huh? Oh, maybe, isn't his life or death up to you anyway?"
Yamanaka Kei, lying on the double sofa, pulled up the Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Ninja covering his face, lazily yawned, a little watery light squeezing out of the corner of his eye.
Jiraiya's novel had decent writing, but the plot, for him who had read countless online novels in his previous life, was somewhat boring.
"I... how did you deal with Danzo?"
Tsunade suppressed the compassion and weakness in her heart, and instead asked about Shimura Danzo's issue.
She hadn't seen him for a long time.
"Ahem, he's retired at home, enjoying his old age."
"Save that kind of nonsense for someone else, I can sense that White Zetsu's aura after using your special Sage Mode!"
"Tsk~ Alright, he is now, um, Konoha's most popular back-scrubber."
Yamanaka Kei, recalling Danzo's recent situation, didn't quite know how to describe it.
That guy, he seems to be doing better and better lately!
Although he was often inexplicably headshot due to the Brainwave Amplification, with the Hozuki Clan bloodline transplanted by Orochimaru, the Water Transformation Technique used instinctively allowed his daily life to not be greatly affected.
In the Three Springs Pond of Hot Spring Street, whether it was the men's bath or the women's bath, he was the most popular back-scrubber!
The business of Three Springs Pond had improved a lot because of this!
"Most popular back-scrubber? Are you talking about... that Hozuki Clan member who lost his memory?"
Tsunade subconsciously thought of the Hozuki Clan member who had lost his memory and was taken in by the hot spring shop owner, as reported by the Anbu before.
So that guy was Danzo?!
No...
Damn it!
Is this guy even human?
"Hey, hey! Don't look at me like that, he attacked me first! I was just defending myself!"
"I was originally thinking of referencing how you dealt with Danzo, but... Heh~ The old man was lucky he didn't fall into your hands."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Yamanaka Kei smiled shyly, taking it as a compliment.
Tsunade rolled her eyes speechlessly, no longer dwelling on the Sarutobi Hiruzen issue.
However, there was still a hurdle in her heart she couldn't overcome.
"How is Orochimaru's research progressing? When can I see... Nawaki?"
"He's already been reanimated with Impure World Reincarnation, but he's hiding and doesn't dare to see you. I was thinking of giving you a little surprise in a few days."
Yamanaka Kei sat up from the sofa, a smile appearing on his face as he spoke.
"You! Damn it! You wouldn't want to turn Nawaki into a girl too, would you!"
Hearing the word 'surprise,' Tsunade subconsciously thought of the Snake Princess she had seen yesterday, her pupils suddenly shrinking as she strode up to Yamanaka Kei.
If her younger brother turned into a younger sister...
Not only would she go crazy, but her great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather would also go crazy, right?
"Look at you, always so impatient! Orochimaru, that was their own choice, okay? You have to respect their choice, you can't discriminate!"
"I... then what's this surprise you're talking about?"
"If I told you, would it still be a surprise?"
Yamanaka Kei leaned back on the sofa.
He had already given the Rinnegan to Orochimaru and had Tobi assist him with his research.
It was just a Rinne Rebirth technique.
Presumably, the results would be out soon!
"...Please."
Tsunade's expression changed uncertainly, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and said the two words.
"Huh? What did you say? I didn't hear you!"
Yamanaka Kei's eyes lit up. He really didn't expect Tsunade to compromise for her younger brother.
"I said! Go to hell, you bastard!"
Tsunade's pretty face flushed red as she swung her fist at Yamanaka Kei.
Pa~
Yamanaka Kei twisted his wrist, using the Spiritual Power within his body to dissipate the force from Tsunade's fist.
"Hey, hey, hey! If you throw another punch, I might bite you!"
"I've already completely mastered Sage Art Chakra, you still want to threaten people with this kind of thing? Heh!"
"Elder Sister, you really don't learn, do you?"
"Ah~!"
The Anbu squad leader, Niu, who was stationed outside the Hokage's office window, heard the Lord Hokage's scream. Seeing his teammates signaling him with their eyes to check the situation, he sighed helplessly and cautiously poked his head out from the glass window.
Looking at Yamanaka Kei's calf sticking out from behind the sofa, which was facing away from him, and Tsunade's left arm resting on the back of the sofa.
He silently retracted his head and gestured to the other Anbu members that nothing was happening.
As an Anbu member trained by Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, he had remained in his position even after Fourth Hokage Tsunade took office, so he could be considered quite knowledgeable!
But at least draw the curtains in the Hokage's office
