Tsunade asked, "Are you sure it's just the three of them? What about the Sarutobi clan leader?"
???
Ryosuke looked at Tsunade, and after seeing her eyes, he understood instantly.
"Well! When I think about it, the Sarutobi clan leader is indeed suspicious. So let's arrest them all and interrogate them."
Ryosuke said while touching his chin.
"By the way, bring my Wood Clone with you when arresting them lest they rebel and cause damage to the village."
Ryosuke clapped his hands together as he said.
He made four Wood Clones, exactly one for each clan.
When the time comes to catch them, he believed that with hus wood clone, there won't be any problems.
Tsunade ordered, "Okay, we shouldn't delay thus matter any further. Shikaku, you can lead a team to arrest them now."
Tsunade was resolute. As soon as Ryosuke finished speaking, she ordered Shikaku to lead a team to arrest them.
Shikaku was a smart person, so he understood the meaning of Tsunade's words.
In fact, it's not important whether the four of them betrayed Ryosuke.
The important thing is that this time, Tsunade had become very angry. So, she decided to not wait.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she planned to completely eradicate these clans.
This time, Ryosuke was the one who was ambushed.
He was safe and sound, and even captured more than 800 elite enemy ninjas.
But what if someone else was targeted?
They don't have Ryosuke's strength.
Can they escape the opponent's ambush?
Obviously not!
So, Tsunade deliberately reminded Ryosuke if he had missed the Sarutobi clan.
Ryosuke also understood Tsunade's meaning in an instant, so he added the Sarutobi clan.
As for the truth of the matter?
Are the Sarutobi clan innocent?
That doesn't matter anymore.
Who made them too close to the other three clan?
They are just unlucky.
When the Senju clan was exterminated, didn't Tsunade think she was unlucky?
She accepted her bad luck.
Why not the Sarutobi clan?
Shikaku went down with Tsunade's order and also took four Wood Clones along with him.
These four Wood Clones are all at super Kage-level.
Whether it is the Sarutobi or Shimura clan, it is impossible for them to cause any trouble.
This time, they are destined to be completely eliminated.
Tsunade said, "Ryosuke, I heard that Kumogakure sent a Jinchūriki this time?"
After dealing with the inner traitors, it was time for other matters.
Tsunade looked at Ryosuke in front of her with a playful look.
She had heard that Ryosuke had taken Kumogakure's Yugito Nii.
She also heard that she was a very beautiful woman.
Ryosuke nodded and said, "Well, two Jinchūrikis were sent."
"Huh? Both?!"
Tsunade was a little surprised because she heard that there was only Yugito Nii.
Tsunade asked, "Wasn't there only Yugito Nii?"
Ryosuke shook his head and said, "Killer Bee was also there, but that guy escaped by disconnecting his tail. I hit him hard with Rasenringu. There is a high probability that he is seriously injured."
Even with the protection of Eight Tails, Killer Bee had definitely suffered a serious injury at tge very least.
If it is more serious, he might even be dead soon.
Jiariya said, "Rasenringu, is that your newly developed Rasengan?"
Jiraiya looked very interested.
"Well, this is it."
Ryosuke stretched out his right hand, and an aura radiated that made Jiraiya and Tsunade feel their hair stand on end.
A black ball the size of a ping pong ball had gathered in Ryosuke's hand.
"Kid, this won't explode, will it?"
Jiraiya looked at the black ball in Ryosuke's hand with a tingling scalp.
He felt a deadly threat from it.
His intuition told him that if he faced this black ball, he would die.
Tsunade was in a similar mood. Looking at the Rasenringu in the hands of Ryosuke, she became solemn.
"Don't worry, I can control it."
Ryosuke waved his hand and retracted the Rasenringu.
"Can this thing be recycled?!" Jiraiya exclaimed.
Ryosuke gave him a disdainful look.
"Jiraiya-sama, can you stop yelling like this all the time? It will make you look very ignorant."
Jiraiya: "..."
Feeling embarrassed, Jiraiya glared at Ryosuke angrily.
Then he asked, "How did you create this move? Can you teach me?"
Ryosuke didn't mind teaching Jiraiya Rasenringu.
But he thought that Jiraiya probably wouldn't be able to learn it.
He himself spent a lot of energy on this thing.
After using a large number of Shadow Clones, and researching day and night, he finally successfully created it.
In fact, Ryosuke was not sure if his Rasenringu was the same thing as Menma's (Naruto's counterpart) Rasenringu.
Anyway, they looked alike.
Is it exactly the same principle?
This is really hard to say.
After all, Ryosuke has never seen Menma's spiral wheel.
After Ryosuke described the gist of Rasenringu to Jiraiya, Jiraiya showed a frustrated expression.
"I probably won't be able to learn this technique." He shook his head and said.
Ryosuke comforted Jiraiya and said, "It's okay. In fact, the power of this move is different in different people's hands. Normally, it's just an S-rank ninjutsu, similar to Wind release: Rasenshuriken."
"As for me, it is quite special. I have increased the output of Chakra. Without an amount of Chakra that is equivalent to dozens of Kage-level ninja's entire Chakra reserve, it is impossible to get my effect."
Jiraiya, Tsunade: "..."
What the hell!
Is this something a person can say?
Dozens of Kage-level ninjas' entire Chakra reserve?
In this whole world, apart from you, only a Jinchūriki can meet this requirement, right?
Wrong!
Other than the Nine Tails Jinchūriki, other Jinchuriki's may not necessarily reach this requirent.
After all, Tailed Beasts do not really have infinite Chakra.
Jiraiya said, "Forget it, I'll just learn Wind release: Rasenshuriken."
"I think this move is quite suitable for me, and Naruto also likes this move very much. The two of us can learn from each other's experience."
Jiraiya shook his head, completely giving up on learning Rasenringu.
Ryosuke said, "Actually, I still have a big Rasengan."
Jiraiya: "..."
"Ahem~!"
Seeing Jiraiya's gloomy expression, Tsunade secretly laughed a few times.
Then, she said seriously, "Ryosuke, I heard that you took away Yugito Nii?"
"Well, that's right."
Ryosuke nodded and admitted honestly.
After all, he didn't intend to hide it from the beginning.
Now, the upper level of Konoha was filled with his own people.
Tsunade is his god-sister.
Jiraiya is Naruto's teacher.
Shikaku is the father of his good friend Shikamaru.
So, there was no need for Ryosuke to hide things like this.
Tsunade asked, "What are you going to do with her?"
Tsunade stared at Ryosuke, looking like she was prying for gossip.
Ryosuke said with a serious face, "She can be a maid. I really need a servant by my side."
Jiraiya: "???"
How could Ryosuke say such shameless words in such a serious manner?
In the past, Jiraiya always felt that his skin was the thickest, except for his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen of course.
But now, seeing Ryosuke say these words so naturally, Jiraiya suddenly felt that his own skin wasn't thick enough.
At least, he couldn't do what Ryosuke had done just now.
'I, Jiraiya, officially recognize you as the thickest-skinned ninja!'
Ryosuke didn't know that Jiraiya was complaining about his shamelessness in his heart.
But Ryosuke himself didn't think he was shameless.
He truly believed it was a blessing for Yugito Nii to be his maid.
After all, in the original timeline, she died at the hands of the Akatsuki and was later revived through Edo Tensei.
What a tragic fate!
But as Ryosuke's maid, she won't have to die.
She won't have to be revived through Edo Tensei in the future.
If this wasn't good luck, what was?
He was giving her a good life!
Why can't people appreciate that?
Tsunade said, "Okay, as long as you know what you're doing."
Tsunade didn't press Ryosuke too much on his decision regarding Yugito Nii.
After all, he had caught her fair and square, and Ryosuke was capable. He had the right to keep her.
Even if Kumogakure found out about this, they won't dare make a fuss.
They'd just have to swallow their pride and accept it.
In fact, they'd probably have to pay a large ransom to get back the Kumo ninjas currently imprisoned.
This was reality!
Whoever has the biggest fist makes the rules.
Whoever is the strongest can do whatever they want!
Back then, Kumogakure had used despicable means to blackmail Konoha, and in the end, Hizashi died in vain.
Why?
Because Konoha wasn't strong enough back then.
Of course, it was also because Konoha's higher-ups were too weak-willed.
Otherwise, with Konoha's strength at the time, if they had truly united to fight Kumogakure, they would have had a chance.
Sure, Konoha had lost the Nine Tails Jinchūriki and Naruto was still just a kid back then.
But the Uchiha clan was still there!
They were still one of Konoha's strongest military forces.
If Konoha's leadership had worked with the Uchiha, they could have sent their forces to war.
But what did the higher-ups do instead?
They surrendered immediately.
Not because they couldn't fight, but because they didn't want to.
To them, the cost of war with Kunogakure was far greater than Hizashi's life.
So they bowed their heads. The one who died wasn't them so it wasn't their responsibility.
Evening
Akimichi Yakiniku Restaurant
In a large private room
Eight young ninjas who had graduated this year and three ninjas from the previous class had all gathered here.
"Come on, let's raise our glasses to celebrate Shikamaru's promotion to a Chūnin!"
Ryosuke sat with Hinata on his left, and Ino and Karin on his right.
Everyone raised their glasses high to celebrate Shikamaru's promotion.
Kiba said, "Shikamaru, you're amazing. You're already a Chūnin, but I... I'm still just a Genin. Who knows how long it'll take me to get promoted?"
Kiba took a sip of juice, looking frustrated.
He had been confident when going into the Chūnin Exams this year.
But in the end, he didn't even make it to the finals.
Thinking about it made him even more annoyed.
Shino, sitting next to him, calmly said, "Even reaching the finals doesn't guarantee a promotion. I made it, but I wasn't promoted either."
Kiba patted Shino's shoulder, as if taking comfort in the fact that someone else had it worse.
Kiba said, "Yeah, well, at least I didn't make it to the finals. You did, but you only ended up as Shikamaru's stepping stone."
Shino rolled his eyes behind his sunglasses, too lazy to argue.
Naruto said, "Speaking of which, shouldn't we also congratulate Ryosuke on being promoted to an Elite Jōnin?"
Naruto looked enviously at Ryosuke, who was chatting with the girls.
"Damn it! Ryosuke is already an Elite Jōnin like Kakashi-sensei, but I'm still just a Genin."
Naruto sighed, remembering his conversation with Pervy Sage.
He had asked why he, who was clearly stronger than Shikamaru, was still a Genin.
Pervy Sage had simply pointed at his own head.
At first, Naruto didn't get it.
Then it hit him. Pervy Sage was calling him stupid.
Naruto was furious.
Lee said, "Naruto, don't compare yourself to Ryosuke. If you do that, you'll just feel like trash."
Lee laughed, seeming to be in a great mood.
Ever since he had recovered from his injuries and could train again, he had been happier than ever.
And from what Guy-sensei had told him, there was a good chance he'd be promoted to a Chūnin in the next selection.
Just the thought of becoming a Chūnin next year put him in a fantastic mood.
