The Right Way to Die in the Ninja World

Chapter 232 Return with Ritual Sense
"Konoha...it's been a long time."

Not far from the Konoha gate, a blond beauty with a purple diamond-shaped imprint on her forehead led a black-haired girl looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar place.

"Tsk, I didn't expect to come back again. I thought it would be at least another ten years before I came here next time!"

"Master Tsunade, you don't want to escape again, cough, leave?"

Jing Yin looked at her master warily.

In fact, this is not the first time they have come here, but, perhaps because of the closeness to the hometown, Tsunade-sama will find various excuses to turn back every time he is about to arrive at the Konoha Gate.

Now, it was the closest they were to Konoha.

Shizune can actually understand Tsunade, after all, her uncle is Tsunade's dead lover, the relationship between them is very close, and I also deeply understand how cruel and sad Konoha is to Tsunade .

As a little girl born in Konoha, she doesn't really want to leave her hometown, but she understands Tsunade.

Tsunade needed her, so she followed Tsunade without hesitation and has been wandering outside.

Shizune actually doesn't mind Tsunade's continued evasion, because she clearly understands the wounds Tsunade hides in her heart, but when Konoha Messenger came to convey the words of the third Hokage, Tsunade-sama had already agreed.

Even if Tsunade-sama is the granddaughter of the first generation, if she doesn't believe what her teacher and the current Hokage say, it won't be a good reputation.

"Really, Shizune, who do you think I am?" Tsunade said helplessly, "My gambling... No, my personality is still guaranteed, right? I will naturally do what I said, and... ..."

Tsunade glanced complicatedly at the two huge heads on the huge Hokage Rock.

The first of them is her grandfather, and the second is his second grandfather. Both of them have made indelible contributions to Konoha, but their attitudes towards Uchiha are completely opposite.

When he was young, Tsunade didn't know how many times he heard the two grandpas bicker and quarrel about Uchiha.

Every time the grandpa took her to sneak out to play, whether it was climbing a tree to catch birds, fishing in the water, or even going to the casino to roll dice, the grandpa would instill a lot of things like "Madara is actually very gentle" and "he That's kind of you don't misunderstand him" and stuff like that.

In order to prove his words, Tsunade even listened to a lot of "black history" about Uchiha Madara, who is considered to be the same as the devil.

To be honest, when Grandpa and Uchiha Madara went to fight in the Valley of the End, Tsunade thought that Grandpa would break Uchiha Madara's leg and drag him back.

After all, the relationship between those two is really good, so good that Tsunade never thought that his grandfather would kill each other.

Although Uchiha Madara rode Kyuubi excessively to attack Konoha at the time, Tsunade subconsciously felt that Grandpa should forgive him.

Since Uchiha Madara's death, Uchiha's situation has become embarrassing.

It was okay when the grandfather was alive, he would tell the second grandfather not to go too far, but after the death of the grandfather, the Uchiha clan did become more and more difficult.

For Tsunade, her feelings for Uchiha are also quite complicated.

If you say you like it, you can’t talk about it, but if you say you hate it, it’s not enough. It’s just a subtle sense of competition—of course, there are also some magical impressions left by the grandfather’s "Uchiha culture export".

Even the Senju Clan Tsunade doesn't manage it very well, and she doesn't even want to take care of the Uchiha Clan's mess, it's just...

"They have all said so much, can I really not show up?"

As the princess of the Senju clan, Tsunade understands the pride and arrogance of the Uchiha clan better than others.

As the saying goes, it is often not your relatives and friends who understand you best, but your enemies. As old enemies, Senju and Uchiha, in a sense, understand each other the most deeply.

Even a clan as proud as the Uchiha shamelessly claimed that the collective had "mental illness" and needed Tsunade's treatment, so how much trouble did they have to encounter?

Now that Uchiha has encountered such a situation where he has to "ask for help" after losing all his face, what kind of turmoil has occurred inside Konoha? !

Although Tsunade keeps saying that those who become Hokage are idiots and fools, she is not interested in Konoha, she doesn't want to be Hokage, and she doesn't care about these things, but in fact, she still cares about the village created by her grandfather very much in her heart.

Perhaps, this is also a kind of true fragrance law of human beings!
"No matter what, the words have come to this point, I have to go back no matter what, and..."

Tsunade thought of the child who wrote the theory of "great physician sincerity".

She's been running away for so long, and it's time to stand up.

Just because he was deeply impressed by the "medical ethics" of the protagonist in the story, Tsunade, who is also a doctor, even felt ashamed of himself.

Even if she knew that it was impossible and she shouldn't do the same thing in her own capacity, it didn't stop her from admiring and admiring people with such lofty thoughts.

"I know my problem. If it is a powerless type, then my evasion and retreat are justifiable. But if it is this kind of disease that I can treat, but I don't treat my companions in the village, how can I return it?" Is it worthy of the title of 'Medical Master' Tsunade Hime?"

Even if Uchiha doesn't fit in, he is still a member of the village. How could Tsunade be ruthless and just sit idly by?

Seeing Tsunade's rare and serious appearance, Shizune was moved to tears, clenched her fists and swore.

"Master Tsunade! No matter what decision you make, Shizune will definitely follow you!"

"Okay, okay, let's go ahead with Konoha now... I don't know if so many years have passed, is there anyone who can recognize me?"

After all, Sannin has not been active on the bright side for a long time, and it is normal for the younger generation not to know them.

Although Tsunade promised to return to the village as soon as possible, he didn't say the specific time, and he didn't notify anyone in advance. If he is blocked from returning to the village now, it's not impossible...

"Eh?"

Tsunade looked at the duo guarding the Konoha gate.

One of them had slanted bangs covering the right eye, and the other had a bandage around the nose in the middle of the face. Although they were not very familiar with each other, the distinctive outfits of the duo immediately made Tsunade look subtle.

"Tsuna, Tsunade-sama?!"

"It's really Tsunade-sama! Although I heard that you will come back..."

The two people at the door called out in surprise, but before they could salute and say hello to the long-lost adult, they heard Tsunade's doubtful voice.

"I remember your names are Izumo and Zitie, right? Why are you two still guarding the gate after so many years?"

When she left the village, it was these two people who guarded the gate, and now she is still these two people when she comes back.

"Are you guarding the gate and showing your feelings?"

Not so!

It's not a good job to guard the goal. Why haven't these two changed for so many years?

"Ah, this is a long story..."

"You say that, but I'm a little curious."

"Hey, anyway, due to various reasons, we were both fined to come to the gate again... that's about it."

Izumo and Zitie sighed.

They don't want to either!
Few ninjas like the boring, trivial and troublesome job of guarding the gate, with low wages and long hours. Even patrolling is better than this!

However, the two of them seem to have an indissoluble bond with the gate, and they often visit the gate for punishment, shift work, or being asked to wait.

Many years ago, they were the green youths who watched Master Tsunade go away, and now, they are the ones who welcome Master Tsunade back.

In a sense, it is quite ritualistic?
