Tsunade raised her head and looked at the half of Konoha that had been destroyed, falling silent for a moment.
In this battle, Konoha didn't know how many civilians and Ninja had died.
This Village was left by her Grandfather, and no matter what, she would definitely protect it.
After a while, Tsunade raised her head to look at Jiraiya, who was also somewhat silent beside her, her voice returning to its usual cheerful tone:
"What, are you worried about that child now?"
Jiraiya was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly. He naturally knew who Tsunade was referring to as 'that child'.
"Who exactly is that child? I don't think it's as simple as just a Jinchuriki."
A thought flashed through Tsunade's mind as she spoke softly.
Jiraiya's face held a complex expression, and his voice carried a hint of guilt:
"That's Minato and Kushina's child."
Tsunade's face first showed a look of astonishment, followed by a cold smile at the corner of her mouth:
"Is it another boring decision made by those higher-ups?"
Tsunade turned her head and looked directly at Jiraiya: "Since Lord Third entrusted you with the heavy burden of Hokage before he died, I hope you can sit firmly in this position."
After speaking, without waiting for Jiraiya to reply, Tsunade turned and walked towards Konoha. At the same time, Tsunade's faint voice entered Jiraiya's ears again:
"I'll stay and help you."
Jiraiya's spirit was lifted, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face as he muttered helplessly:
"Actually, I was hoping you would take the position of Hokage..."

Land of Lightning · Cloud Ninja Village.
In the Raikage's office.
Boom!
Fourth Raikage A wore an expression of rage and smashed the desk in front of him into pieces with one punch.
Even the entire Raikage office building shook because of this punch.
It was as if a small earthquake had occurred in this area.
Mabui, who was standing not far away, saw the desk that had been smashed to pieces. A look of heartache flashed in his eyes, but he didn't dare to interrupt at this moment.
"Damn Kirigakure, how dare they plot against this old man!"
Fourth Raikage A let out another roar of anger and raised his fist, unable to resist punching forward.
Unfortunately, the only remaining desk in the entire Raikage's office had already been smashed, so this punch could only hit the air, producing a small, sharp sonic boom.
It took a full while for the enraged Fourth Raikage A to slowly calm down his emotions.
"How is Darui now?"
Fourth Raikage A turned his head to look at Mabui next to him. His voice carried a tone of concern.
Just as Mabui was about to speak, the door to the Raikage's office was pushed open.
Darui, with more than half of his body wrapped in bandages, walked in.
Darui's face was filled with pain. With a "bang", he half-knelt on the ground and spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice:
"I'm sorry, Lord Raikage... I couldn't bring them back."
"This matter is not your fault. If anyone is to blame, blame my negligence as Raikage. Whether it's Konoha or Kirigakure, this revenge, this old man will definitely get it!"
Fourth Raikage A was filled with killing intent and spoke in a cold tone.
After speaking, Fourth Raikage A reached out and pulled Darui up.
"Lord Raikage, Killer Bee has been trapped by the people of Konoha. No matter what, we must rescue Lord Killer Bee first."
Darui said to Fourth Raikage A.
Regardless of the relationship between Killer Bee and Fourth Raikage A, the Tailed Beast alone absolutely cannot be coveted by other Ninja Villages.
Fourth Raikage A's eyes flickered. Compared to the hatred with Kirigakure, rescuing Killer Bee was indeed the most urgent matter at the moment.
Land of Earth · Hidden Stone Village.
Tsuchikage's office.
Compared to the enraged Raikage's office, the Tsuchikage's office at this time was unusually calm, even eerily quiet.
Ōnoki sat quietly in his chair, completely calm, but his face was somewhat pale.
Kurotsuchi, who was standing next to Ōnoki, also had a somewhat unpleasant expression.
After quite a while, Ōnoki suddenly laughed a few times, but the laughter was filled with coldness.
"Very good! This old man has lived for so many years and has actually been plotted against by a young girl."
"And Konoha, after so many years, they still have such a hidden card. Indeed, this old man underestimated Konoha."
Ōnoki's voice was calm, but his face held a heavy expression.
The entire Rock Shinobi force, except for Kitsuchi, Akatsuchi, and two guards, was completely wiped out.
If Ōnoki hadn't experienced countless ups and downs, he would have probably spat out a mouthful of blood long ago.
"Are Kitsuchi, Akatsuchi, and those two guards alright?"
Ōnoki turned his head to look at Kurotsuchi next to him and spoke calmly.
Kurotsuchi shook her head: "Dad, Uncle Akatsuchi and the others are fine, except for being extremely exhausted."
After speaking, Kurotsuchi looked at Ōnoki with some worry and said cautiously:
"Grandfather, is your body alright?"
Hearing Kurotsuchi's words, Ōnoki was startled, then immediately flew up from his seat and said loudly:
"My body is very strong! I don't need you, little girl, to worry."
Crack! Crack!
Just as Ōnoki finished speaking, he suddenly clutched his waist with both hands and let out a scream:
"Ow, my back! My back!"
Kurotsuchi's face showed a helpless expression, and she quickly stepped forward to support Ōnoki.
After a long while, Ōnoki finally recovered, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said seriously:
"Compared to Kirigakure, Konoha has actually trapped Han. It seems they are preparing to negotiate terms with us!"
"However, this old man isn't going to let Konoha off easily this time. With such hidden means, Konoha is much more dangerous than the current Kirigakure."
"Also, regarding the suspected Uzumaki Clan member, Kurotsuchi, personally send people to investigate. Those who survived the Uzumaki Clan back then should provide some clues."
Ōnoki's face was calm as he analyzed calmly.
Kurotsuchi nodded and quickly turned to walk out of the office.
This war where the Four Great Shinobi Villages jointly attacked Konoha has ended.
This war came quickly and ended quickly.
Many small countries or small Ninja Villages had just received the news when the war was already over.
In the history of the entire Ninja World, there has never been a situation where the Four Great Shinobi Villages united to collectively attack one Ninja Village.
And under such circumstances, Konoha was not completely destroyed.
Instead, they used the Wood Release, made famous by the First Hokage, to defeat all Four Great Shinobi Villages!
And the Mist Ninja Force, one of the four allied forces, despite suffering the fewest losses, suddenly turned traitor and annihilated almost all the remaining forces of the Cloud Ninja, Rock Shinobi, and Sand Ninja.
By the end of this great battle, the only beneficiary turned out to be Kirigakure, which had the weakest sense of presence among the Five Great Shinobi Countries.
When most of the forces in the Ninja World received this news, they were all somewhat stunned.
The Cloud Ninja and Rock Shinobi, two great Ninja Villages, not only suffered heavy losses, but even their own Tailed Beast Jinchuriki were completely left in Konoha.
As for the Sand Ninja, their Jinchuriki was even taken away by Kirigakure. At least the Cloud Ninja and Rock Shinobi still had one Jinchuriki left.
But the Sand Ninja only had one, and it was taken by Kirigakure, so one can imagine the shock to the entire Sand Ninja Village.
For a Ninja Village, a Tailed Beast not only represents powerful combat strength but also a testament to the Village's power.
Facing the heavily damaged Four Great Shinobi Villages, the entire Ninja World was like a calm lake surface into which a giant rock was suddenly thrown, causing undercurrents to surge for a time.
Countless Ninja Villages, large and small, began to become active.
