Chapter 511 Confessing to Tsunade, Ishikawa Promoted to Captain of the Anbu.
The next day, at the Hokage Building.
"Kakashi, you actually knew how to come back?"
As Tsunade led Shizune into the office, she saw Kakashi, the Fifth Hokage, asleep at his desk and slammed her hand on the table, shouting.
"You promised a few days, but you've been gone for almost a month! Not only did you leave me with this huge mess in Konoha, but you also left Hana-ling at home to recover after giving birth?"
"If it weren't for Karin and Sakura helping to take care of the child, I really don't know how Karin would have managed to take care of the child all by herself, and what she would have thought of you?"
Kakashi was groggily awakened, and before he could even speak, he was met with a stern reprimand from Tsunade, causing him to scratch his head and chuckle sheepishly.
"I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade. I'll explain to Hana-rin. Thank you for your help this time..."
Last night, he was actually planning to go home to see Obito and Karin, but he found that Sakura and Karin were at home taking care of them, so he didn't go home and came here to spend the night.
"Yes, that's for the best." Seeing Kakashi's good attitude, Tsunade crossed her arms and nodded in agreement, then gestured for Shizune to leave, her expression solemn.
"Kakashi, can you tell me what happened now? For you to say something like you might not be able to come back and that you're handing Konoha over to me, it can't be a simple matter."
Kakashi's pupils contracted upon hearing this, then he nodded at Tsunade, "Ah, it is indeed a rather dangerous mission, but the rewards are also quite enormous."
"Lady Tsunade, I have learned about Akatsuki's goals and information about the Rinnegan. In addition, we have secured a very powerful ally that will never betray us."
"An ally that will never betray us? How is that possible??" Tsunade ignored all other surprises and disbelief, simply refusing to believe such a thing existed.
It's important to understand that in the decades since the first generation of ninjas, the five great nations of the ninja world have repeatedly come together and split apart. Any alliance is merely a temporary compromise for interests, and there is no possibility of never betraying each other.
There was no betrayal, only that the stakes for betrayal weren't high enough!
When huge interests are involved, the former ally, Sunagakure, is a prime example.
And this isn't the first time; in previous major battles, there have been far too many instances of Sunagakure or other ninja villages breaking agreements.
Kakashi is too naive when it comes to politics!
Seeing Tsunade's reaction, Kakashi instantly understood her thoughts and couldn't help but smile slightly before uttering a surprising question, "What if the ally is another Konoha?"
Instantly, Tsunade's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she couldn't help but open her mouth in astonishment.
Another Konoha? No, Kakashi, do you want to hear what you're saying?
"Lady Tsunade, I only want you to know about this top-secret S-class information. This is also a backup plan in case something happens to me. Such an important matter cannot be known only to the village's higher-ups."
"Are you serious? Fifth Hokage?" Tsunade took a deep breath and asked solemnly, while Kakashi opposite her turned his left eye with three tomoe, activating a genjutsu to prove it with his actions.
A moment later, "So that's how it is! I didn't expect such a thing to actually happen! That brat Ishikawa? And Rin, my disciple from another dimension..."
Tsunade's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she came back to her senses and murmured to herself, still finding it hard to believe what she had just seen in the genjutsu.
"So, I'll have to ask you for help from now on! After all, you've already mastered the Medical Ninjutsu: Creation Rebirth, Lady Tsunade, which will allow her to have a better future."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade suddenly realized, and recalling the incident involving the Xuanyuan Clan and the Raikage, she couldn't help but sigh, "Kakashi, you've gotten me into trouble again. But, since Rin is also 'my' disciple, I agree to this!"
At this point, Tsunade seemed to have thought of something, raising her chin slightly with a smug look on her face. "Besides, your information is already outdated, Kakashi. Creation Rebirth was just an incomplete ninjutsu three years ago. Now I have completed the development of that S-rank medical ninjutsu."
"Creation Rebirth isn't a complete medical ninjutsu?" Kakashi was both surprised and delighted. He hadn't expected that the technique that restored his injuries in that instant wasn't even a complete medical jutsu.
Just how terrifying would a complete S-rank medical ninjutsu be?
Seeing Kakashi's horrified expression, Tsunade waved her hand dismissively, her face serious. "Alright, let's talk about the Akatsuki. Now that you know the information, what are you going to do?"
"Let's hold our positions and observe the situation." Without hesitation, Kakashi stated the outcome they had already agreed upon.
If it weren't for the information about Black Zetsu and Kaguya, they would definitely have gone to Nagato with the Rinnegan to dismantle the Akatsuki organization immediately.
But now, the Akatsuki's objective is no longer the main focus. The main focus is for both sides to vigorously develop their villages' strength and search for information about Kaguya before the other takes any action.
Therefore, this period is both a time for the Akatsuki to lie low and a time for them to actively prepare for battle. Currently, information about the Otsutsuki is unknown, and the longer they delay, the more advantageous it will be for them!
"Bang bang bang..."
Tsunade frowned slightly, about to say something more, when a knock on the door interrupted them.
"Come in."
Kakashi turned and greeted them, and saw the ANBU captain, Tenzo, along with Ishikawa and Rin, walk in.
"The Fifth Hokage, Lady Tsunade..."
Upon entering the office, Tenzo greeted him politely, then looked at Kakashi and asked, "Hokage-sama, Tanuki said you wanted to see me?"
"Yes, I have personnel appointments to announce." Kakashi the Fifth Hokage nodded, then stepped forward and removed Tenzo's ANBU mask.
"From today onwards, you will no longer be the hidden captain of the ANBU, but the Jonin Captain Yamato of Konoha Village."
Instantly, Tenzo, no, Yamato, who had just received the appointment, trembled with excitement, showing no sign of resentment at being deprived of his rights.
Finally, will he, like his predecessors, step out of the shadows and become a Konoha ninja basking in the sunlight?
This was his long-cherished wish, and he never expected it to come true so quickly!
"Thank you, Lord Hokage..."
With eyes gleaming and sincere thanks, Yamato was already imagining his adorable subordinate disciples.
As a Jonin captain, he can't be a lone commander!
"Your subordinate status is a bit special, so I'll assign you a role later. In the meantime, familiarize yourself with the normal mission procedures and your new identity, Yamato." After giving these instructions, Kakashi turned his gaze and spoke solemnly.
"Then, Ishikawa, the Anbu will be yours from now on."
"Yes, Fifth Hokage." Ishikawa, wearing a tanuki mask, immediately responded, naturally understanding the deeper meaning behind Kakashi's arrangement.
After the Uchiha returnees join the Anbu, they will need to be taken care of and arranged by a trustworthy person.
And he was Kakashi's most trusted confidant, as well as the mastermind behind this plan!
"The captain of the Anbu? I never thought that the kid from back then could stand on his own now!" Tsunade said with a teasing smile, then her slender white fingers swept across Yamato and pointed at Anbu Rin.
"Come with me, I have something to ask you..."
