After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

"roar~"

A deafening roar of a beast resounded through the sky like thunder. In an instant, the animals in the forest fled away in fear. At the center of the roar, a huge yellow-haired ape suddenly appeared.

However, at this moment, its body was firmly fixed by an unknown force. It struggled with all its might, and the force was so great that the part where it was tied was already oozing with glaring red blood.

"Ninja method? Multiply each other's detonating talismans!"

Along with a young and steady voice, a piece of talisman paper with the word "explosion" written on it appeared from nowhere. It was attached to the body of the giant ape as fast as a gust of wind, and then spread rapidly at an astonishing speed until it covered the entire body.

"Boom!" A series of earth-shaking explosions sounded one after another.

A large amount of blazing flames and billowing smoke suddenly emerged from the center of the explosion, and a huge mushroom cloud formed in the air that took a long time to dissipate.

"It's over! This time, you are still the winner, Yusuke."

Yujie turned around and looked at Yuanxin and Yuanli who appeared out of nowhere. Yuanli was covered in scars and stared at him with resentment. It felt that Yujie had some personal grudges against it.

"Elder Yuanxin, thank you for taking the trouble to come and help."

At the moment of the explosion, Yuanxin, at the critical moment, used his psychic powers to successfully rescue Yuanli from the pile of detonating talismans.

The ten Anbu soldiers surrounding Yusuke not far away were also looking at the huge mushroom cloud with cold sweat. If they had not opened the huge barrier, the village would probably have sounded the alarm by now.

Yusuke instantly appeared beside Yuanli and said in an apologetic tone: "Yuli, I'm sorry! I'll take you to the hospital to bandage you and check if there are any hidden injuries."

When hearing Yusuke's apology, Yuanli no longer had the resentful look on his face. Instead, he sat on the ground with an embarrassed look on his face, with a silly smile on his face.

"It's okay, Yusuke, we also have companions in our tribe who know medical ninjutsu." After saying that, Yuxin immediately summoned a monkey wearing a white coat and glasses - Doctor Yu.

"Elder!"

After the ape doctor appeared, he bowed in the direction of the ape heart, then smiled and nodded at Yusuke, and finally came to the side of the ape with a medicine box and began to treat it.

"Master Yusuke, Master Hokage requests that you come over!"

"Ah."

Just as Doctor Yuan was treating Yuan Li, an Anbu appeared beside Yusuke. After hearing Yusuke's soft response, he disappeared quietly again.

"Then Yusuke, today's training ends here. Doctor Ape, Ape Power, let's go back first."

"Yeah." x3

The man and the two monkeys nodded at the same time. Yusuke raised his hand to say goodbye to them, then asked the nearby Anbu to clean up the mess, and then left the Death Forest and headed towards the village. Soon, he walked to the Hokage Building with ease.

Arriving at the door of the Hokage's office, Yusuke gently opened the door and walked in.

"teacher!"

Yusuke said as he saluted Sarutobi Hiruzen respectfully.

"Yusuke, you're here."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved to Yusuke. He was not busy at this moment, but was lazily making tea in the office, looking leisurely.

Yusuke walked over and sat down, and Sarutobi Hiruzen handed over a teacup and placed it in front of Yusuke. Yusuke put on an attitude of listening attentively, waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen to speak.

"The war is over."

Looking at the increasingly mature Yusuke, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hide anything and directly threw out his trump card.

"The Land Kingdom surrendered?"

Yusuke spoke in a normal tone, without any surprise, as if everything was expected.

"Well, it's actually over a long time ago. The war reparations have been negotiated, and the army will return to Konoha tomorrow. You will come with me to greet them then."

During his reign, Konoha was at a disadvantage of one against three from the beginning to the end of the war, but always managed to win. This undoubtedly left a strong mark on his political achievements.

"Ah."

Yusuke agreed. He hadn't seen his teammates on the front line for a long time, especially Tsunade.

"Now you are already a ninja who can stand on your own!"

Thinking back to the past six months, Yusuke had devoted himself to training, never complained, never slacked off, and even went home to stay for one night a month. Now, he was much calmer than before.

"I have to thank you for your teachings, teacher. If I still haven't made any progress, I might not be worthy of being your disciple."

Yusuke replied seriously, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyebrows curved a lot after hearing it, with a look of pride on his face.

"Well, when the army returns tomorrow, the village will reward you according to your merits, and then your reward will be given to you."

"I see."

It seems that a period of peace lasting several years is about to come, and Yusuke has to plan carefully, so as to pave the way for his path to becoming the Fourth Hokage by the time of the Third War.

"With your strength, you may not need such intensive training now. The village will enter a period of peace. You can lead the team to carry out missions and accumulate more practical experience. This is also a way to improve your strength."

"Leading the team? Does the teacher have any suggestions?"

Yusuke thought that leading the team might be possible, and he remembered what Yuhi Shinku said to him when they were on the front line.

"Right now, several students in the Ninja School have applied for early graduation and have passed the assessment. I have read their information and they are all good prospects. You may want to consider it."

Leading a newbie?

Yusuke frowned slightly, as this was slightly different from what he had thought. After all, with a novice, he could only carry out B-level tasks in the early stages, and only occasionally would he have the opportunity to come across A-level tasks.

"I'll go back and think about it, and then I'll reply to the teacher."

Yusuke did not agree immediately, and Sarutobi Hiruzen did not care. The most important thing at the current stage was to reward the ninjas who participated in the battle according to their merits.

After settling the matter, Yusuke said goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen and prepared to leave the Hokage's office.

"Yusuke, you've been through a long battle and a lot of tension. You could probably take a proper rest now and adjust your mindset. That way, the psychological pressure on you won't be so strong."

"Okay, I will."

After leaving, Yusuke did not go home immediately, but strolled slowly on the street. He couldn't help but sigh that he was in the village, but he hadn't experienced the atmosphere of the city for a long time.

He touched his stomach and felt that he was indeed a little hungry. He was about to look around for some delicious food when suddenly a store appeared in Yusuke's sight.

“Barbie Q BBQ”

Yusuke was really touched and amused. When he first crossed over, he often said "Barbie Q" to the barbecue. Unexpectedly...

Yusuke was 100% sure that this was his store. Then, as soon as he entered the store, a girl bowed to him at the door.

"welcome!"
