Chapter 233 Reforms in Progress

"Mr. Gu Zang, how have you been these years? Without my care, how have you been..."

After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Tsunade seemed to have endless things to say when they met, but the words stopped at her lips and turned into tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.

"As for me, I have lived peacefully in Konoha these years, but you, little Tsunade, have been wandering around and must have suffered a lot."

This one sentence made Tsunade burst into tears again, and she cried so hard that no matter how Jiraiya acted, he couldn't stop her from crying.

"Hey, Mr. Gu Zang, you made her cry, comfort her!"

Jiraiya was a little drunk, and even his speech was a little slurred, but the alcohol made his words carry some true feelings that he dared not say anymore.

In Jiraiya's eyes and heart, Tsunade is still the little girl who loves to throw tantrums.

"Who needs coaxing? Do you think I'm still a little girl? Wuuuuuu - I'll be fine on my own, I just, I just... wuuuuuu -"

Obviously, what Tsunade said was not convincing at all.

"Mr. Kozo, would you like a bowl of tonkotsu ramen? Shizune isn't here today~"

Shouda poked his head out from behind the curtain of Ichiraku Ramen with a thief-like look, and looked at this touching and embarrassing scene with a squinting smile on his face.

This guy has been eavesdropping the whole time!

However, the Ichiraku Ramen shop was quite small, and there were only four of them as customers late at night. If they didn't eavesdrop, they seemed to have nowhere else to go.

The hand-typing is still the same. I remember everyone's eating habits. I know that Shizune is allergic to pork, but Mr. Gu Zang has eaten tonkotsu ramen.

"Then I'll trouble you to do it by hand. It's been a long time since I've tasted your cooking skills."

Gu Zang smiled and lay on Tsunade's shoulder, patting her shoulder gently, silently comforting her, just like he did ten or even dozens of years ago.

And this silent companionship is the most deadly to Tsunade.

The dinner that followed was more harmonious. With Gu Zang present, Jiraiya restrained himself a little, but when the alcohol took effect, he was like a prodigal son who would not turn back, and if he turned back, he would not be a prodigal anymore. He just went on a wild and wild life.

Tsunade was so amused that she laughed so hard that even Orochimaru's smile stayed on his face all night.

No ninja had any objection to Tsunade's proposal to be the head of the medical department, and it was justified.

If this minister needs to vote, the result can only and must be Tsunade.

But Tsunade still has a big problem.

Hemophobia.

Although not everyone knows it, most ninjas above the rank of Jonin know that Tsunade suffers from hemophobia, which is very fatal to the medical director.

Tsunade herself was a little scared, afraid that she might not do it well.

"It's okay, Tsunade, come on.

A few days later, Gu Zang brought Tsunade to Kawazo's ward. Looking at Kawazo who was unconscious on the bed, Gu Zang spoke.

"Kawazo, although his Wood Release is a little bit worse than your great-grandfather's, his talent is not much worse than Hashirama's. His talent, personality, and ideas are very similar to Hashirama's, and..."

"and many more!"

Tsunade stopped him in time.

That's an exaggeration! What do you mean by having a personality similar to that of my great-grandfather? My great-grandfather is very low-key. Do you really think she's traveling around and doesn't inquire about news from the ninja world?

The third battle had just ended, and this guy single-handedly suppressed the coalition forces on both sides, beat up the tailed beasts, and penetrated half of Mount Kikyo!

The most important thing is that this guy clearly chose to fight multiple people at once!

If his great-grandfather had such a personality, would there be the five major ninja villages?

"Mr. Gu Zang, you're bullying me without even knowing it. Apart from Wood Release, how else does this kid even have anything to do with my great-grandfather?"

"Well... Actually, there is some resemblance. It's not a big deal. But he's lying here now. He's not dead, but he's almost dead."

"Um......"

Tsunade frowned.

She was helpless in this situation because Tsunade's medical ninjutsu was powerful, which was due to her physique and huge chakra, in addition to her research.

This allows her medical ninjutsu to continue a person's life, and if the person is not completely dead, she may be able to bring him back to life.

But Sichuan and Tibet are in a situation where they are not lacking in vitality.

"If you can't overcome your hemophobia, you won't be able to advance your medical ninjutsu any further."

Gu Zang continued.

"As the Minister of Health, you were able to accomplish almost all of the ideas for health care reform back then, except for one thing: saving lives."

"Try it, Tsunade. Follow your heart. You are a Sannin, the princess of Konoha, and the descendant of the God of Ninja."

Gu Zang said softly, then left the ward, leaving Tsunade alone staring blankly at Kawazo on the bed.

Tsunade's hemophobia is not a physical disease, but a psychological resistance.

Overcoming hemophobia is both simple and difficult.

And relying on others to wake Tsunade up...except for the prince's mouth-to-mouth, I'm afraid no one else will work. Tsunade can only figure it out herself.

As for whether it can be overcome, that is something Orochimaru or Jiraiya need to consider.

......

"Can it be done?"

Jiraiya asked Orochimaru quietly, while Orochimaru was reviewing documents at his desk.

This is the office of Danzo of the Root. Orochimaru is not just talking, he really wants to borrow the office!

Danzo's Root was driven out by him to build the Hokage office building.

"Hehehe, it doesn't matter whether it works or not. As long as Tsunade comes back, it will be a great help. You don't have to worry, Jiraiya. You should be the one who trusts Tsunade the most."

Orochimaru didn't look up at Jiraiya.

In fact, compared to Tsunade's medical ninjutsu and reform ideas, Orochimaru was more concerned about bringing his former teammates back.

Secondly, the title of the Three Ninjas perfectly inherited the legacy of Sarutobi Hiruzen and surpassed the reputation of the Sarutobi clan. It was able to completely suppress all questioning voices in Konoha, which was very necessary in the early stages of reform.

"Believe her? Bah, don't talk nonsense! She has never won a bet!"

Jiraiya changed the subject stiffly.

But Orochimaru didn't respond at all.

He is busy revising another reform.

In addition to Konoha Hospital, there is another severely affected area in Konoha that needs to be rectified.

Konoha Orphanage.

When Danzo's power was at its peak, the entire orphanage almost became the back garden of the Root. Most of the talented children were secretly trained by the Root, and only a small number of them could go to Konoha School to receive a proper education.

What? Questioning the legitimacy of the Root? No kidding, even if Danzo has changed a little, he's still Danzo!

After reviewing a considerable amount of information and personnel intelligence about the orphanage, Orochimaru took ruthless action.

The status of Konoha Orphanage was changed and it was directly raised to the same level as Konoha Hospital. At the same time, the funding for the orphanage was comprehensively increased. Although it was still less than one-tenth of Konoha Hospital, it was more than ten times higher than before!

The root's control over the orphanage was completely cut off.

Nono was originally quite resistant to Orochimaru. After all, the most evil one in the former Root was Orochimaru, who only showed half of his face.

But with the series of actions taken by the Fourth Hokage when he came to power, Nono had to believe Orochimaru whether she wanted to or not, she had no choice.

The status of the orphanage has been elevated, and Nono, the walking shrine maiden, has completely come into the open.

His status rose rapidly, and although it was not comparable to Tsunade's, his rating was half a head higher than other senior ninjas, which made the children in the orphanage excited for a long time.

After intervening in the orphanage, Orochimaru discovered two talents.

One of them is named Kabuto Yakushi.

The other one is called Fenghua Xiaoxue.

"The Snow Country? Interesting... Jiraiya."

"Huh? No, you think I'm the Hokage's assistant? Where's Shikaku?"

"Shikaku is busy directing the rebuilding of the Hokage Building. Go get Kakashi for me."

Jiraiya went out cursing.

Although he cursed harshly, he never let his guard down.
