Chapter 83 is simple: I just need to become the God of Ninjas.
On the fifth day, Gojo Yoru finally saw Tsunade again.
"Night Boy, take me back to the border base."
Tsunade took the initiative to visit Gojo Yoru's house, and changed her address for him from his surname to his given name.
Seeing that Tsunade had clearly rested and regained her energy before arriving, Gojo Yoru couldn't help but smile slightly: "Welcome back, Lady Tsunade."
"I'm not as fragile as you think. After all—the dead can't be brought back to life." Tsunade's eyes dimmed, then hardened again. "I will inherit Nawaki's will and help him protect this village that my grandfather founded."
"These past few days, I've been pondering a question—even Nawaki, who inherited his grandfather's bloodline, died from his injuries after stepping on an explosive tag and not receiving timely treatment. How many others on the battlefield also accidentally stepped on traps or sustained vital injuries in battle, only to die with regret because they lacked medical ninjas by their side and couldn't receive timely treatment?"
"They could have survived if all they needed was someone skilled in medical ninjutsu to be there!"
Her brown eyes seemed to burn with fire as Tsunade said in a deep voice, "I will change this situation and prevent incidents like Nawaki's from happening again."
Hearing this, Gojo Yoru understood.
He couldn't help but voice Tsunade's thoughts: "Lady Tsunade, do you want to equip each squad with a medical ninja?"
""
"You noticed too?" Tsunade looked at Gojo Yoru with delight, wanting his approval.
Gojo Yoru's words, however, poured cold water on her enthusiasm: "Lady Tsunade, your idea is good, but it's unrealistic."
"Why?" Tsunade's eyes revealed a hint of resentment.
"If we equip every squad with a medical ninja, this reform will quickly spread throughout the ninja world. Their first thought won't be to imitate it, but to prioritize killing medical ninjas during missions," Gojo Yoru pointed out the key issue incisively. "Because the cost of training a medical ninja is far greater than training an ordinary genin. Those countries already have unbalanced economies and simply don't have the capacity to emulate it. They would be happy to see us do this, and then use the killing of medical ninjas to weaken our national power."
If it weren't for the fear that Tsunade wouldn't understand, Gojo Yoru would have shortened that sentence to just a few words: "Initiate the team fight, I'll flank and kill the healer first."
Tsunade's face turned pale as she realized the seriousness of the situation.
Medical ninjas can be equipped, provided that they also have the ability to survive.
However, a ninja who can possess both strength and medical skills is qualified to be a Chunin as a squad leader. The cost required is too high. How could we possibly equip every squad with one of these skills?
Her idea is indeed unrealistic.
"Is it possible that I really can't change this situation?" Tsunade became dejected again.
"Actually—you can think about it from a different perspective."
Gojo Yoru suddenly spoke, drawing Tsunade's attention.
Meeting Tsunade's eyes, Gojo Yoru smiled and stated his thoughts: "Training a large number of medical ninjas in a short period of time and equipping each squad with one is indeed unrealistic. However, Lady Tsunade, your idea is excellent and highly feasible; it just requires time."
"I studied at the ninja academy for several years and discovered something very cruel. That is, whether you come from a ninja family like us, an ordinary family, or a ninja clan, you all learn the same knowledge."
""
Tsunade stared blankly and said, "This is the hope that my great-grandfather gave to children from ordinary families that they could also become ninjas—"
"Is there a problem?"
"Of course, no problem. The Second Hokage is truly great," Gojo Yoru said slowly. "It's just that there's very little you can learn at the Ninja Academy. Even students who graduate after six years only master the most basic Three Body Techniques, Body Flicker Technique, and Invisibility Technique, as well as methods for breaking genjutsu."
"On the other hand, some of the students from ninja clans have already started learning their clan's ninjutsu or secret techniques before they even enter the ninja academy. They also know their chakra nature and their special talents at a very early age."
Even if they are not very talented, they know their strengths.
"Ordinary students at ninja academies can only learn the Three Body Techniques and have no idea what their talents are or what type of ninjutsu they are suited to practice."
"If you, Lady Tsunade, wish to change the current situation, why not suggest to the Hokage that he reduce some of the less important academic classes, or add one more special elective course each day, such as genjutsu, medical, body-flicker, intelligence, or interrogation—so that these students can choose according to their own interests."
"Six years of study should teach you some basic self-rescue methods, even if you don't have the aptitude to become a medical ninja. If you have talent, you'll naturally become a medical ninja after graduation, even better than an ordinary genin, and you might even become an excellent medical ninja in the future."
"Even now, Lady Tsunade, you could gather the support troops at the border base and see if those genin have the qualifications to become medical ninjas. Then you could hold a training course to teach them medical knowledge. Or you could make a manual and write down emergency self-rescue methods in it, so that every ninja can carry it with them. That might reduce some casualties."
As Tsunade watched Gojo Yoru speak eloquently and with very progressive ideas, her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"It's feasible, absolutely feasible!"
Hearing the last two suggestions in particular, Tsunade couldn't help but speak excitedly. She then patted Gojo Yoru's shoulder heavily, her eyes full of admiration, and sincerely praised him, "Impressive! You have the potential to become Hokage."
"Actually—there's an even simpler way."
Similar words to those before once again caught Tsunade's attention.
Under Tsunade's expectant gaze, Gojo Yoru spoke the most arrogant words in the most nonchalant tone: "Once I become the God of Shinobi in the new era, and suppress the ninja world for decades like the First Hokage, there will be no more wars or casualties."
If anyone else had said such a thing, Tsunade would have labeled them as arrogant.
If they hadn't gone through the infiltration incident in Amegakure together, the battle with Hanzo of the Salamander, and heard the opinions of Gojo Yoru from the Slug Sage and Orochimaru, she would have thought Gojo Yoru was exaggerating and her impression of him would have been lowered.
But with the support of the Slug Sage and his companions, the feat of injuring the Salamander, and the fact that at such a young age he had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique—a technique no one else in Konoha besides his great-uncle had ever mastered—
Under the aura of these halos, Gojo Yoru, who was saying such words at this moment, seemed to be shining with dazzling golden light in Tsunade's eyes.
In particular, the wisdom he displayed in proposing his avant-garde reform ideas made my own thoughts seem incredibly naive.
This wisdom, coupled with a height that didn't match her age, and a face and demeanor that didn't betray her age of eleven, made Tsunade suddenly and uncontrollably recall what happened in the cave and the tough attitude that Gojo Yoru displayed in front of her.
And in the past few days, Gojo Yoru has been sending the papers over first, and then the food over to prevent it from falling to the ground. Her thoughtful and gentle care is evident in her silent concern.
All these factors combined to cause a strange emotion, which Tsunade herself had not even noticed, to suddenly and rapidly grow deep within her heart.
My heart started racing uncontrollably again, just like it had been in the cave.
As a result, Tsunade stared blankly at Gojo Yoru, looking completely lost in thought.
At that very moment, the Stand hidden behind Gojo Yoru, the Minotaur Warrior, suddenly opened his eyes, raised his axe, and unleashed a Concept Slash, severing the thread of fate brought about by the original history.
It still comes down to the same thing—
Minotaur warriors are invincible!
"Lady Tsunade, are you alright?"
Tsunade only came to her senses when Gojo Yoru's voice reached her ears.
Looking at Gojo Yoru, who lowered his head and brought his face close to hers, waving his hand in front of her eyes, Tsunade's breath hitched again.
"I—I'm fine. If you don't have anything else to do, come back to the border base with me."
Tsunade's gaze suddenly darted away, and she didn't dare to meet Gojo Yoru's eyes at all.
For some reason, she, who is usually very outgoing, suddenly became shy.
If you look closely, you'll notice that her cheeks are a little red, as if her body temperature has risen.
"I can do it anytime."
Gojo Yoru didn't notice the change in Tsunade, after all, the two were a generation apart in age.
With a raised hand on Tsunade's shoulder, Gojo Yoru began to sense the Flying Thunder God Technique formula in the distance, preparing to perform an ultra-long-range teleportation.
Because he was a little taller than Tsunade and wasn't wearing a headband, Tsunade seemed to notice something and suddenly interrupted, "Wait—"
Abandoning her earlier shyness, Tsunade boldly lifted Gojou Yoru's bangs, stared at his forehead, and after confirming she wasn't mistaken, her eyes widened slightly: "You've mastered the Yin Seal?"
"Lady Tsunade, you saw it too?"
Gojo Yoru also raised his hand to touch his forehead and smiled, "Looks like it's almost done."
"What secret are you hiding?" Tsunade looked at Gojo Yoru with shock in her eyes. "You're only eleven years old, and you've already developed a hand seal-less ninjutsu like the Rasengan, learned your great-grandfather's Flying Thunder God Technique, and that Meteor Technique that injured the Salamander. Now you have the S-rank Yin Seal Technique—with such ninjutsu talent, are you even human?"
Gojo Yoru laughed and explained, "My chakra reserves are too low, so when Kushina shared the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques with me, I immediately took a liking to this Yin Seal. It took me a year to almost master it, which is actually quite slow, considering I learned the Flying Thunder God Technique in less than a month."
If it weren't for Tsunade's constant questioning, Gojo Yoru would have told the truth.
Even so, Tsunade was still shocked that he mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique in less than a month.
Tsunade remained silent for a long time before finally uttering two words: "Monster."
"If I weren't strong, I wouldn't have the confidence to say those things."
Gojo Yoru smiled slightly, then teleported away with Tsunade.
With a few flashes, the two returned to the border base.
When they came out of their private room, they soon saw Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who had come after receiving the message.
"Tsunade, are you alright?"
Jiraiya, who had been worried about Tsunade for the past few days, immediately asked.
Orochimaru didn't speak, but looked at Gojo Yoru.
When he saw Gojou nod, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of admiration for Tsunade.
It's truly remarkable that they were able to recover so quickly.
It took him a very long time to get over the loss of his loved ones back then.
In the past few days, he has also frequently dreamed of Rope Tree's corpse.
Besides his parents, Orochimaru witnessed the death of another acquaintance, and in such a cheap way that life was incredibly devalued, which had a significant impact on his psyche.
Orochimaru, who had not yet come into contact with the immortal Hashirama cells, did not have the idea of researching the art of immortality.
In the past few days, he has made a decision.
He needs to accelerate the training of Gojo Yoru.
Unaware that Gojo Yoru possessed space-time chakra, the capacity of which required "evolution" to overcome, Orochimaru wanted to help Gojo Yoru quickly increase her chakra capacity.
Once Gojo Yoru's chakra level increases, his Dimensional Slash and Flying Thunder God Technique will not only have longer lifespans, but he will also have the potential to develop even more powerful space-time ninjutsu, similar to the Meteor Secret Technique from that night.
The more space-time techniques Gojo Yoru possesses, the stronger he will become, eventually becoming an even more unstoppable force than the First Hokage.
At that time, other countries and ninja villages will not be able to find a way to deal with him, and will not dare to start a war.
The ninja world naturally became peaceful.
Orochimaru, who was well aware of the immense power of space-time, did not believe that in this era there would be an Uchiha Madara who could rival Gojo Yoru.
Once Gojo Yoru becomes the strongest ninja in the world, the world will remain peaceful until he dies of old age.
Over these many years, it's been enough time to accomplish reforms that even the First Hokage couldn't or didn't have time to implement.
Gojo Yoru naturally had no idea what Orochimaru was thinking, otherwise he would have been unable to hold back his laughter.
Under the influence of Gojo Yoru, Orochimaru's art style, just like the original history, has gone further and further astray.
"Don't worry, I'm not as fragile as you think."
Looking at her two concerned companions, Tsunade smiled, then raised her right hand in a bicep gesture, declaring with high spirits, "This time, I won't leave the lab until I've developed the antidote!"
After saying that, Tsunade walked towards the laboratory under Jiraiya's pained gaze.
Orochimaru looked at Tsunade's back, a hint of respect flashing in his eyes.
No wonder she's the granddaughter of the First Hokage!
Gojo Yoru suddenly realized something, then looked at Tsunade's departing figure with admiration in his eyes.
It wasn't that she had stepped out of the shadows, but rather that she forced herself to come out for the sake of the Land of Fire, for the village founded by the First Hokage, and for Nawaki's dream.
In fact, this woman, who appears strong on the outside, is still in pain and vulnerable inside.
Tsunade during this period was truly beautiful and powerful, inside and out!
