If it weren't for Yoruha's overwhelming strength, Manda wouldn't have this kind of attitude towards him. Yoruha was somewhat surprised, "You actually know about Madara and the First Hokage?" "That really surprises me."
Manda chuckled and said, "Do you really think I'm that young? I existed during the era when the First Hokage and Madara were active." "I even witnessed their battles."
"Similarly, I've seen your power too. I'm well aware of the gap between your strength and theirs." "I dare say that even if the two of them teamed up, they wouldn't be a match for you." Yoruha did not refute.
He simply said, "Alright, you can go back now. I have to report in." Although Manda had many more things he wanted to discuss with Yoruha, he knew Yoruha had matters to attend to and didn't want to delay him, so he vanished. After Manda disappeared, Yoruha vanished from the headquarters of the Root organization.
The next moment, he appeared in the Hokage's office. As soon as he arrived, he saw Naruto pleading with Tsunade about something. "Granny Tsunade, where on earth is Yoruha?
He promised to teach me a new jutsu, but I haven't seen him for days. I can't find him anywhere. Could it be that he doesn't want to teach me?" Yoruha appeared just in time to hear Naruto say this, making the situation a bit awkward.
He had indeed forgotten about his promise to teach Naruto a new jutsu. So when he appeared, he happened to catch Naruto complaining about it. Standing beside Naruto, Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura all looked a bit troubled.
Ever since learning that Sasuke personally took down Pain and saved the village, Naruto has been under a lot of pressure. He always saw Sasuke as the rival he needed to surpass, but now the gap between them was growing wider. Naruto was anxious.
As soon as Yoruha appeared, Naruto noticed him and immediately rushed over. Yoruha quickly raised his hand to stop Naruto's next move and said, "Alright, I get it. I'll teach you after I report to the Hokage."
Naruto halted his steps and asked curiously, "You went on a mission? What kind of mission needed you to personally handle it?" Naruto knew how powerful Yoruha was, so naturally, he was curious about what kind of mission required Yoruha's personal involvement.
Sasuke and Kakashi had a good guess about what the mission was. Yoruha didn't continue the conversation with Naruto and approached Tsunade, saying, "Lady Hokage, the person has been captured." Tsunade nodded, "Faster than I expected. The Root organization isn't easy to deal with."
Yoruha smiled but said nothing. For someone of Yoruha's caliber, handling the ninjas from the Root organization didn't seem to be a difficult task.
Sasuke felt a surge of gratitude upon hearing Yoruha's words. Yoruha had kept Sasuke out of this matter, and Sasuke understood the reason behind it. Because of this, he felt grateful to Yoruha.
He was well aware of who had helped him the most along the way and who genuinely cared for him. It was precisely because of this that when he learned the truth about the Uchiha clan's massacre, he didn't seek revenge on the Hidden Leaf Village as he did in the original story. Instead, he sought out Yoruha, wanting to know his thoughts and what he wanted Sasuke to do.
A better solution. In fact, Yoruha had indeed achieved it. Kakashi was quite relieved.
Not to mention Sasuke, Yoruha had now become the captain of the Anbu, a high-ranking official with complete control over the unit. Previously, although he was also an Anbu captain, his power couldn't compare to Yoruha's. Now, Tsunade had truly handed over the entire Anbu department to Yoruha, granting him full authority.
Yoruha's current status in the Hidden Leaf Village was on par with the two Hokage advisors. In the village, he could truly be described as second only to one, above all others. And Tsunade clearly listened to him.
Now that Tsunade mentioned passing the title of Hokage to Yoruha, there was likely no one in the village who would oppose it. The only person who might have objected had already been captured. Previously, although the two Hokage advisors and Tsunade regarded Yoruha as an equal, other than the clan leaders, the other ninjas in the village didn't know him well, or even at all.
But now, Yoruha's status, both in practice and in name, was extraordinary in the village. In terms of status and power, even Kakashi was far inferior to Yoruha. What was even more jaw-dropping was that these powers and status were forcibly handed to Yoruha by Tsunade.
He didn't even want them. Those who truly understood Yoruha's real strength would surely understand. But in this world, no one truly comprehended Yoruha's power, including Tsunade and the others.
They knew Yoruha was powerful, but they had no real sense of how powerful. They only knew he was much stronger than the First Hokage. Tsunade looked at Yoruha, then at Sasuke, and said, "Sasuke, it's best if you don't personally attend Danzo's trial."
Sasuke didn't refuse; he understood why Tsunade was doing this. So he nodded and said, "I know what to do." Sakura, holding Sasuke's hand, had already learned the truth about the Uchiha clan's massacre from him.
She felt even more heartache for Sasuke now. With his revenge nearly complete, she was also happy for him. Naruto, however, was utterly confused. Although he had previously learned the truth about the Uchiha clan's massacre, he couldn't connect today's events with that incident. In fact, he didn't even know what was happening now.
So he looked at Yoruha and then at Tsunade, helplessly asking, "What are you all talking about?" "I hate it when you people don't explain things clearly." But as soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at him, their mouths twitching slightly.
They had already explained it so clearly, yet Naruto still didn't understand. Yoruha, thinking about having to teach Naruto ninjutsu later, felt a headache coming on. Previously, he had only given the training method for the Rasengan to Kakashi, letting Kakashi teach Naruto, so Yoruha didn't have to endure the torment of Naruto's learning process.
If Kakashi knew Yoruha's thoughts, he would surely recall the pain of teaching Naruto. At that time, Yoruha had actually written the training method in a very straightforward manner, and Naruto just needed to follow it. Yet, Naruto still took over ten days to learn it. Although it was faster than in the original story, those ten days were quite frustrating for Kakashi, who even suspected that Yoruha knew Naruto was difficult to teach and had deliberately passed him on.
Yoruha shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about it; it has nothing to do with you." "Do you have any missions now? I can teach you right away."
Originally still guessing what was going on, Naruto immediately said upon hearing Yoruha's words, "Really? I don't have any missions now, let's go quickly."
