"Great!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Tsunade's diagnosis.
Kimimaro also smiled, it seemed that strengthening his bones with his Kekkei Genkai and diligently practicing the Eight Gates was the right path.
Remembering the days of working hard, early mornings and late nights, with those melon-headed teammates, Kimimaro felt a warm current in his heart, along with... a chill down his spine. Am I going to be assimilated by them? How can I feel warmth from being with those guys who are determined to give me a new hairstyle?
However, after dinner, Kimimaro still saw the three sets of large white teeth outside the window as usual, and silently jumped out of the window. If there were no accidents, they would encounter a Blue Beast on the street today.
The next day, dawn bit through the lips of night.
This was the second day the people of Konoha condemned Danzo. Danzo's series of crimes had been cursed countless times. Just as the villagers were about to lose interest, many people who looked familiar but couldn't remember exactly who they were suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys of Konoha for some reason.
They loudly discussed the unknown evil deeds Danzo had committed, such as using the First Hokage's remains for human experiments, killing comrades, peeping into women's bathhouses, kicking widows' doors at night, being addicted to gambling, and owing debts without repayment, etc.
The things they described were so sincere and detailed that it was amazing.
Although the last few were unbelievable, seeing them speak with certainty, even knowing the name of the bathhouse, the hidden location where Danzo peeped, the background of the major casinos, the identity of the creditors, and even the amount of debt, the villagers couldn't help but believe it.
The village once had such a conversation:
"Danzo actually did such a heinous thing!"
"Yeah, yeah, peeping into women's bathhouses and stuff... Hey, where are you going?"
"I'm going to verify whether it's really not easy to be discovered hiding in those locations, so I can remind the bathhouse owner..."
"How can such good deeds be without me? Let's go together!"
That day, under the puzzled gaze of the bathhouse owner, the number of female customers dropped sharply, and the number of male customers soared, and there were even a few who accidentally fell and injured themselves from climbing the walls and roofs...
Jiraiya was heartbroken when he learned about this. How could the few excellent locations he had finally found be suddenly exposed? Could it be that Danzo had people following him before? Impossible, Jiraiya was very confident in his counter-reconnaissance ability, but no matter why, he had to find a new way to gather material in the future.
Tsunade sat in the director's office of the hospital, listening to Shizune talk about the rumors about Danzo's debts, and felt inexplicably guilty. How did she seem to be familiar with the names of those creditors...
After thinking about it carefully, there were only a few people who knew about her affairs, and the only one who could have such strange ideas... Heh, since the content of the debt was adapted from her, then the matter of peeping into the women's bathhouse, she didn't need to think about it to know whose deeds it was taken from. Tsunade sneered and moved her wrists. She had so much work these past two days, she should find a punching bag to release the pressure.
Naruto certainly knew who those people spreading the news in the streets and alleys were. They must be righteous people who had suffered from Danzo for a long time and took the initiative to disclose it. Otherwise, could it be that someone used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to transform and disguise themselves, and then blamed all the bad things the Three Legendary Sannin had done on Danzo?
How could anyone be so bored, how, could, they?
"If you're bored, you might as well go on a date with Hinata. We've been very busy recently and don't have time to take you Genin to train and do ordinary tasks." Kushina saw Naruto's performance and thought he was just idle.
"Oh." Naruto thought it made sense, took the stack of dating funds sponsored by his mother, and went out.
Bored or not, those rumors against Danzo had nothing to do with him. Naruto dared to swear on Sasuke's future wife's figure!
"Achoo!" In the Haruno's house, Sakura rubbed her nose and went to the bathroom.
After washing up, Sakura changed her clothes in front of the mirror, tidied up her beautiful pink hair, and then looked down expectantly, only to be disappointed again.
There was no change at all, it was still unobstructed, and she could directly see her toes.
Sakura sighed faintly, remembering Naruto's constant Sakura Bro Sakura Bro calls, and muttered to herself: "Am I really not like a girl at all? Maybe, I should ask Master Tsunade if she has any tips?"
Sakura went out with a heavy heart.
...
Naruto and Hinata walked hand in hand, chatting about what happened after Naruto took Hinata home on the day of the exam, aimlessly strolling down the street. The shops on the street reopened one by one, and some even put up signs such as "Celebrating Konoha's victory, 20% discount in the store, 30% discount for ninjas". Occasionally, some workers passed by carrying building materials.
"Right, Hinata." Naruto suddenly remembered something important.
"Hmm?"
"Do you remember our promise?"
"Promise?"
"Yeah, I did win against Gaara in the end, you know."
"Ah..." Hinata blushed, nervously pinching the hem of her clothes with one hand, "That... this..."
"Eh? Was Hinata lying to me back then?" Naruto stopped, feigning disappointment.
"N-no, it's not." Hinata said anxiously, "Naruto-kun, could you close your eyes?"
Naruto closed his eyes expectantly.
Hinata blushed again and hesitated for a long while before finally steeling herself and lightly pecking Naruto on the cheek.
Naruto opened his eyes with a triumphant smile, looking at Hinata, who seemed about to emit steam from her head, and teased, "Just the cheek?"
Hinata was so shy that she stuttered, "I-I-I-I didn't s-s-s-say where at the t-t-t-time!"
"Alright, we'll talk about the rest later." Naruto stopped while he was ahead, Hinata's limit was about there for the time being.
"Huh? Sakura Bro?" Naruto suddenly saw Sakura standing blankly in front of the flower shop.
"Ah? Hello..." Sakura greeted dazedly. I just wanted to visit Sasuke at the district hospital, why did I have to see this scene? They're progressing so fast, I'm so envious...
"Sakura?" Hinata was even more shy, subconsciously hiding behind Naruto. I-it was all seen...
Sakura looked at the petite Hinata and was once again fed a mouthful of dog food.
"Sakura Bro, you dropped your flowers."
"Ah? Oh, um, I'm going to the hospital to visit Sasuke, so I won't disturb you." Sakura dazedly picked up the bouquet and fled the scene.
"Visiting Sasuke? Oh right, Sasuke hasn't been discharged yet!" Naruto suddenly remembered his little brother. He took a knee strike from Rock Lee with about Three and a Half Gates Power and ended up in the hospital.
It wasn't that Naruto forgot, it was mainly because, in his mind, that kind of injury wasn't severe enough to warrant hospitalization.
"Hinata, shall we go see Sasuke too? And also visit Third Hokage."
"Okay."
