Tsunade has gone mad!

The fire lord has arrived in the village, unfortunately the third round of the exams will not proceed immediately.

There had to be a period of time for recovery.

Moreover, the Third Hokage decided to convene a secret meeting.

Inside the Hokage building.

Kyōichi and Minato were sitting in the conference room, waiting for everyone to arrive.

Not long after.

A voice sounded outside the door.

"Minato, Kyōichi, didn't expect you two to be here too."

"Lord Orochimaru!"

Kyōichi and Minato stood up at the same time.

Orochimaru has arrived!

This guy, like a snake, arrived at the door silently. They only sensed his presence when he was not far from the door.

Orochimaru walked in and sat down.

Then, the Third Hokage appeared.

"This small meeting…"

"Hiruzen, why didn't you notify us about the meeting beforehand?"

"…"

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

Kyōichi looked at the Third Hokage speechlessly.

Why did he invite these two?

The Third Hokage sighed softly and shook his head slightly.

He didn't call them.

Kyōichi understood.

Like flies smelling blood, they couldn't wait to come and drink some blood.

He sneered in his heart, he didn't say anything on the surface, stood up to salute besides Minato, and then sat down promptly and ignored them completely.

The Third Hokage could only point to an empty seat.

Koharu Utatane came in and said: "Hiruzen, I heard that you want to lift the ban on some forbidden techniques on a small scale?"

"Not all, just some forbidden techniques."

The Third Hokage said.

"No way!"

Homura Mitokado urgently said, "Most forbidden techniques are too dangerous, harmful to oneself, and some involve ethical issues. Lifting the ban on forbidden techniques is harming them!"

Orochimaru just smiled and didn't say anything, his gaze shuttled back and forth between them and the Third Hokage.

"Hiruzen, we are old companions. Our teacher personally included many techniques in the seal book, you know this. Isn't this a violation of the trust that Tobirama sama put on us?"

Koharu Utatane pressured Hiruzen with Tobirama's legacy.

They are both too stubborn.

Hiruzen Sarutobi preffered not to deal with them, so this time he did not inform them about the meeting, but they came uninvited.

The Third Hokage sighed and said: "Our teacher spent his life studying many forbidden techniques, some of which he did not even record. The parts he left must be his hope that we can teach with discretion."

"The Third Hokage is right."

Kyōichi timely agreed, and quietly kicked Minato.

Minato understood, and agreed: "Forbidden techniques cannot be abused, but promoting them on a small scale, I don't see any problems, especially for our Jonin force, we all have enough judgment to decide whether to use forbidden techniques."

Orochimaru sat opposite them.

At this moment, he looked at Kyōichi with interest.

Originally, Orochimaru thought that this was a meeting to criticize him, but now it seems that it is not.

Lifting the ban on forbidden techniques...

These two guys were able to persuade the old stubborn Third Hokage, which was really not easy, he would know.

To persuade the Third was not enough, there are two more stubborn relics who needed to approve.

He glanced at the two next to him, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

"Kyōichi Kamida, I know this is your initiative, and we've seen your Breath Vitalization Jutsu, it's indeed very useful. But are you aware that this kind of ninja technique can damage one's lifespan?"

The direction of the conversation suddenly shifted towards Kyōichi.

"Lifespan? If you're sitting in an office with no danger, naturally you'd worry about lifespan. On the front lines, battling constantly, hovering between life and death at every moment, who has the time to worry about lifespan!"

Kyōichi sneered, "not willing to use the Seven Heavens Breathing Method on the battlefield because it reduces lifespan, we might as well stop living."

"You! Are you implying that we're afraid to risk our lives? We're familiar with the battlefield!"

Homura Mitokado's face changed immediately.

This was a heart-stabbing statement!

"Alright, Kyōichi didn't mean that."

The Third Hokage tried to mediate the situation.

"Hiruzen, don't make excuses! Kid, we've all come from the battlefield, we've all experienced life and death, it does not mean that we should abandon a decade norm."

Koharu Utatane was equally unhappy.

"Oh? The Second Hokage continued to fight on the front lines even after becoming the Hokage, and the Third Hokage also personally directed the battlefield. But you two, you've just been advisors, you haven't been on the front lines for years, right?"

Kyōichi was completely unapologetic.

He'd long been annoyed by these two relics who wouldn't die.

The Third Hokage might be powerless, but at least he wasn't ambiguous when risking his life. These two were different.

Even though they were just advisors, they acted like they were the Hokage.

They never risked their lives, only chattered pointlessly.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Bang!

They both slapped the table and stood up, angrily said, "Is this the attitude you speak to your elders with?"

Just as they finished.

Bang!

Another loud noise.

A figure came crashing through the window from outside, shattering the entire window.

"What's the matter? Old immortals, I think Kyōichi is right."

Familiar chakra flow.

Homura and Koharu turned around, faces full of astonishment.

Orochimaru laughed.

Tsunade!

Unexpectedly, she had returned.

The Third Hokage was even more surprised.

Homura Mitokado was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "Tsunade, you're going too far!"

"We're reasoning with you, you're talking about rules to us, I'm talking about reality with you, you're talking about manners with me, there's nothing to talk about, I saw through it all when I served as a medical ninja."

Tsunade sneered, nonchalantly pulling up a chair and sitting down next to Kyōichi.

She propped herself on the table, not polite at all, "After the Second Hokage's death, the front-line battles and commands were by us and the teacher, have you left the village? Have you experienced life and death?"

"You!"

Koharu Utatane was so angry that his hand was shaking.

"Past? Who doesn't have a glorious past, we've all experienced life and death, you guys talk about it every day, just deceiving yourself, tell yourself that you've also risked your lives in the past, now you can enjoy life!"

Tsunade leaned back in her chair, her face with a carefree smile.

She came back only to back up Kyōichi, not planning to stay in Konoha for long, so...

I don't care about seniority!

I will speak my mind!

Things that I held within, I will say them all now!

The Third Hokage saw what was happening, suddenly getting an headache.

Now, it's a no-win situation whether he speaks up or not.

"Tsunade, you shouldn't speak like that. The front lines, the rearguard, everyone is contributing to the village. Besides, we're not afraid of death."

A cold voice sounded.

Then,

Danzo entered from the door.

Kyōichi glanced at him, with a bit of surprise in his heart.

The current Danzo wasn't leaning on a cane and looked quite fit.

However,

he still gave off a very sinister impression.

"Contributing? All I see is Konoha being attacked again and again, surrounded by external ninja villages, with constant infighting and plotting within. Other than creating a repulsive 'Root' organization, what have you achieved?"

Tsunade fired back directly.

Even Kyōichi had to admire her.

She must have been holding this in for a long time.

"The function of 'Root' is not something you can understand."

Danzo didn't get easily provoked.

"Oh? Such a significant function, yet Konoha is still continually in decline?"

Tsunade was rude, criticizing even the Third Hokage. She was absolutely relentless.

Orochimaru's face lit up even brighter, finally speaking, "Everyone, let's put the credit of the advisors aside. After all, it's not a big deal. The current issue is the spread of forbidden techniques, correct?"

"..."

What a sarcastic remark!

Kyōichi wanted to laugh a bit.

This statement...

Was the reputation and credit of the two people less important than this current topic?

That's correct.

Because that's the truth!

Homura was so angry that her face turned green.
