The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 197 Jiraiya Runs Away

The Land of Fire.

Chiyo's clone, carrying Kimimaro and Haku, landed at the border of the Land of Fire.

They made their way towards Konoha Village, where the situation had stabilized. Chiyo, this clone, wasn't in a hurry to continue, but instead taught Kimimaro and Haku along the way.

They travel during the day and usually sleep outdoors at night.

When we come to a city, we buy some things, replenish our supplies, and rest for a while.

However, most of the Land of Fire remains uninhabited.

Many places are in their original state, and there aren't even roads.

The fastest way to move is to jump from a tree.

Kimimaro's strength improved rapidly after his nutrition improved.

Moreover, Kimimaro was a naturally gifted fighter in terms of physical skills.

In other words, his combat intuition is extremely amazing, and he can often predict where Qianyao will attack next and counterattack accordingly.

At Kimimaro's age, he had absolutely no rivals.

However, Chiyo possesses extensive combat experience and memories of the entire Uchiha clan, making him more than qualified to be Kimimaro's teacher.

Qianyao trained Bai as a ranged attack character, since Bai's physical skills were slightly lacking.

Haku's current use of Ice Release is limited to instinct.

Chiyo didn't rush him to develop Ice Release, and even in terms of ninjutsu, he only taught him Hidden Mist Technique and Water Clone Technique.

Wait until Haku is older and has more chakra before he learns lethal ninjutsu.

The three of them traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently along the way, and it took them half a month to reach Konoha Village from the border of the Land of Fire.

When they arrived at the forest outside the Uchiha clan's territory.

The true form of Qianyao is already waiting here.

Kimimaro and Haku already knew on their way that the one who was leading them was still Chiyo's clone, but a rather special one.

"I'm leaving it to you. I'm heading back to the Land of Water now. I'll let you know when things stabilize there."

The clone handed Kimimaro and Haku over to the main body of Senyo.

Qianyao's true form nodded without saying anything more.

"Let's go, Kimimaro, Haku, this is the Uchiha clan's territory."

Chiyo waved, his face and expression exactly the same as on the road, which reduced the sense of incongruity between Kimimaro and Haku.

Bai asked with some curiosity, "Lord Qianyao, can your clones share memories?"

As Qianyao walked towards the clan, he replied, "This is a clone created by my eye technique; it can share memories."

"If it's a shadow clone, then memories can only be shared after it disappears."

Chiyo has already taught the two about shadow clones; now let's review them.

“You’ve never met any peers since you were young. I’m the principal of the Ninja Academy in Konoha.”

"We'll arrange for you to go to school tomorrow."

Bai asked in a low voice, "Lord Qianyao, didn't you say on the way that the Ninja Academy was useless?"

Qianyao laughed and said, "The Ninja Academy was useless before, but now that you're here, I'm going to make them take care of it."

"I'll arrange accommodations for you first. You can rest for the night, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

……

In the past two weeks, both Orochimaru's laboratory and the Uchiha's hospital have been fully established.

The medical equipment that Orochimaru requested has already been delivered from Iwagakure.

On the contrary, Konoha was dragging its feet and hadn't delivered all the goods yet.

Konoha Hospital has basically returned to normal.

Those who could be saved were basically saved; those who couldn't be saved usually died on the spot.

Once admitted to the hospital, the mortality rate is already extremely low.

Even though Tsunade was in the hospital, she would still see blood no matter how much she tried to avoid it.

After working at such a high intensity, Tsunade has become slightly desensitized to seeing blood from a distance.

Working non-stop for a whole month left Tsunade completely exhausted.

Although she was supposed to take over the hospital's affairs, she actually had neither the time nor the inclination.

If the Uchiha clan hadn't been so powerful, Tsunade wouldn't have returned.

If it weren't for this disaster that happened right after she returned, Tsunade wouldn't have wanted to stay at all.

But before Tsunade could leave, Jiraiya secretly slipped away.

He saw that the Uchiha clan was developing rapidly, and that Chiyo hadn't shown any intention of running for Hokage last time.

He planned to continue his travels, continue his voyeurism, continue writing books, and continue searching for his chosen one.

So after leaving a note in the Hokage's office, he slipped out.

By the time the Third Hokage saw the note, Jiraiya had already left Konoha.

The Third Hokage immediately summoned Tsunade and told her about it.

"Damn it! He ran away!"

Tsunade was extremely angry because the Third Hokage had virtually no powerful subordinates.

The third generation is getting old, while Kakashi and the others are still young.

She and Jiraiya must both have at least one of them in the village.

As long as any one of them is in the village, Konoha can maintain relative stability.

Jiraiya clearly dumped the mess on Tsunade.

Besides the Third Hokage and Tsunade, Koharu Utatane is also in the Hokage's office.

After all, she has already become the Hokage's assistant, so she can now get involved in some political affairs.

She knew that Konoha needed Tsunade to maintain stability, so she treated Tsunade with kindness and gentleness.

"Tsunade, you can't leave Konoha in this situation."

"As long as you stay, we will grant you any requests you may have."

Tsunade pinched the bridge of her nose. She had been so busy at the hospital that she hadn't had much time to think about this.

Tsunade was truly caught off guard by this sudden remark.

After a moment, however, she sighed and said, "Alright, I'll stay for a while."

"Old man, I've saved so many people these past few days, shouldn't the village show some appreciation..."

Tsunade twirled her fingers, a gesture of counting money; she hadn't gambled in so long and was itching to go.

The Third Hokage chuckled and said, "Of course, don't worry, it's already prepared for you."

So the Third Hokage knew how to handle things; a box had already been placed next to the table.

He pushed the box to Tsunade, who opened it and found it full of large denominations of banknotes.

Taking advantage of this moment, the Third Hokage said to Tsunade:

"The power that Qianyao wants includes a replica of medical resources."

"Their hospital is now built, and they have selected a group of Uchiha clan members. They are just waiting for you to go and train them."

Tsunade closed the box and asked in confusion, "Uchiha training? Me?"

The Third Hokage responded, "That's right. Medical resources inherently include this item; otherwise, his hospital wouldn't be able to operate."

Tsunade rolled her eyes: "I'll let Shizune handle this. I'm not going."

The Third Hokage advised, "You can take this opportunity to see Orochimaru and see why he stayed with the Uchiha clan."

"Orochimaru and you have known each other for so many years, there are some things you should let go of."

Tsunade frowned and pondered. The conflict between her and Orochimaru had little to do with whether or not Orochimaru had defected.

It was a clash of ideologies; Orochimaru was utterly indifferent to life and would do anything for his experiments.

Furthermore, using her grandfather Hashirama Senju's corpse for experiments also offended Tsunade.

"Okay, then I'll go see him tomorrow." Tsunade was somewhat curious about how Orochimaru could stay in the Uchiha clan.

"Red Bean wants to see Orochimaru. Can you pass on a message to her?"
