Chapter 781

Tsunade also understood that Mizunuki Ryosuke was right.

The end of "protection" is indeed peace.

Konoha at the moment is the best example; even if Konoha is powerful as a country and a village, it ultimately cannot withstand the siege of the other four major ninja villages.

Wanting to protect Konoha and protect the people she cares about, the final end is to achieve peace in the Ninja World.

Only under peace can there be no more war, killing, and loss brought about by death.

But it is normal for Tsunade to have self-doubt.

As the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama, she is one of the people in the Ninja World who knows Hashirama's strength best.

Even Senju Hashirama could not realize the grand ideal of "peace," so why did she think she could do it?

At this moment, compared to everything Mizunuki Ryosuke said, Tsunade felt that she, who was confined to the Rain and Fire countries, seemed incomparably narrow and small.

"Little Tsun, my goal is to create true peace for the Ninja World."

"Are you willing to be with me, to bring true peace to the Ninja World?"

Seeing that Tsunade had already accepted his words, Mizunuki Ryosuke took the opportunity to pinch Tsunade's soft hand and looked at Tsunade with burning eyes.

Tsunade's recognition was an important step for Mizunuki Ryosuke to realize his ideal, and it must not be lost.

Looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke's burning gaze, Tsunade, who had always been known for being strong and decisive, actually felt a bit of shrinking in her heart.

This is because Tsunade, who knew the stories of Hashirama and Madara, understood how heavy the seemingly simple word "peace" was.

"Can I really do it?"

Tsunade looked bewildered; at only twenty years old, Tsunade clearly did not have the spirit of the Fifth Hokage who had already experienced the vicissitudes of life.

"Of course."

"Don't forget, you are my, Mizunuki Ryosuke's, wife."

Feeling the hesitation in Tsunade's heart, Mizunuki Ryosuke decisively encouraged Tsunade, his eyes full of encouragement.

"Mm!"

Mizunuki Ryosuke's recognition also restored a bit of confidence in Tsunade's heart.

Tsunade was still young after all, and there was still passionate blood in her heart; under Mizunuki Ryosuke's encouragement and guidance, she soon established a brand-new goal again.

Seeing Tsunade agree, Mizunuki Ryosuke also bloomed with a smile.

For this empty and cruel world, the philosophy of ninjas is extremely important; this is something called "Ninja Way."

Ninjas without a Ninja Way are ultimately just tools.

The change of "Ninja Way" also shows that she completely stood in Mizunuki Ryosuke's camp.

"If Lord Hashirama knows in the underworld that you and I can inherit his unfinished cause, he will probably be very gratified."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said with a smile, making Tsunade, who heard this, burn with raging fighting spirit in her eyes.

The fighting spirit in her heart became more and more high-spirited; through Mizunuki Ryosuke's guidance, Tsunade also figured out one thing.

Just because Senju Hashirama didn't do it doesn't mean she can't do it.

Or rather, it is precisely because of the failure of the predecessors that Tsunade, as a descendant, should inherit Senju Hashirama's ambition and create true peace for the Ninja World!

Being confined to the land of Konoha village, one can never realize this ideal.

"Ryosuke, then what should I do?"

Tsunade looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke with shining eyes, waiting humbly for Mizunuki Ryosuke's guidance.

After all, creating peace is a long process, and at the moment, she doesn't know where to start.

"Little Tsun, whether it is you or me."

"To create true peace, we all need power."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said leisurely, a trace of depth appearing in his eyes again.

"Little Tsun, you need power."

"It can allow you to master your own destiny."

"You need to become the Hokage!"

Saying this, a gleam of light appeared in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

And this was also Mizunuki Ryosuke's greatest expectation for Tsunade; he needed to let Tsunade become the Hokage!

"Can I really become the Hokage?"

Seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke's gaze with a bit of expectation, Tsunade murmured to herself; although there was no more bewilderment in her emerald eyes, they were still a bit flickering.

The Hokage—once upon a time, wasn't it also her ideal?

Without a doubt, almost all Konoha ninjas want to become the Hokage, and their purposes for becoming the Hokage are not the same.

Some are for power and status, some are for profit and power, and some are for belief and protection...

But what is certain is that the Hokage, who stands above the ten thousand people of the Land of Fire, is not so easy to become.

Tsunade at this moment was not as bewildered as before, just needing recognition and encouragement.

"Don't be afraid, I will help you."

"You are the most suitable Hokage candidate in my heart."

Mizunuki Ryosuke grabbed his lover's little hand and encouraged her with a sincere tone.

"Mm! Thank you, Ryosuke!"

"I will definitely do it!"

Tsunade suddenly smiled, and it was this bright smile that even made the galaxy lose its color and no longer shine.

At this moment, Tsunade had not yet realized what the "help" Mizunuki Ryosuke said meant; she just thought it was something similar to "spiritual encouragement."

Regarding this, Mizunuki Ryosuke clearly did not intend to clarify; when Tsunade knows in the future, she will know that Mizunuki Ryosuke's words were not aimless.

Mizunuki Ryosuke knew that at this moment, what maintained him and Tsunade was no longer just love and promises, but also ideals and paths.

This not only made Mizunuki Ryosuke take another step toward his goal, but it was also a sublimation for the relationship and bond between the two.

"Then, please take care of me in the future, Hokage-sama."

Mizunuki Ryosuke teased Tsunade.

Hearing this, a trace of coquettishness flashed in Tsunade's eyes.

"You are the one, my Mizukage-sama."

Then, she also unceremoniously retorted.

The two finally looked at each other and smiled; it seemed that everything was unspoken.

The light in the distance brightened bit by bit; nearly a thousand Konoha ninjas had gathered and were ready to set off.

Jiraiya, one of the Konoha commanders, was in front of the camp, joking and laughing with these ninjas; there was no depression or solemnity among the crowd before going to the battlefield.

Regarding this, the other commander, Orochimaru, did not stop it, nor did he blame Jiraiya for destroying the pre-battle atmosphere.

Because Orochimaru understood that after tomorrow, it was unknown how many of these nearly a thousand ninjas would be able to return.

Jiraiya's joking was just to relieve the pressure for these ninjas who were about to go through fire and water.

Looking at Jiraiya, who was mingling with the ninjas, Orochimaru just shook his head slowly.

Even as a commander, everyone has their own way; he didn't need to interfere with Jiraiya's actions.

Finally, with the arrival of a graceful figure, everyone's eyes focused on her, and even Jiraiya, who was laughing constantly, restrained himself.

Tsunade walked slowly to the crowd, with a confident and soaring spirit on her face, and her complexion looked much better than yesterday.

Looking at the radiant Tsunade, a trace of strangeness flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

His snake told him that Tsunade was not in the camp last night.

But Orochimaru did not intend to meddle in other people's business and ask too much, because he also had some small secrets of his own, and there was no need to hold onto Tsunade.

What's more, as an old teammate who had cooperated for many years, Orochimaru knew Tsunade very well.

He did not think Tsunade would do anything unfavorable to Konoha at this juncture.

Therefore, he let Tsunade go. ===== CHAPTER 783 =====
