That night, Tsunade left Konoha silently. When she left, no one noticed, and Chao Yanqian only learned the news early the next morning.
The thing that Chao Yanqian most didn't want to see happened in the end.
Last night, the Thousands of Chaos Generals explained everything, including why they decided to follow Orochimaru and why they came to visit Tsunade. Of course, although the Thousands of Chaos took orders from Orochimaru, they did not steal the secrets of the Senju clan, nor did they sell any information about Tsunade.
After talking about everything, Tsunade Mikami still wanted to kill herself quickly, so Chao Yanqian could only use the [Flying Thunder God Technique] to leave.
As for Tsunade's departure, Chao Yanqian felt a bit of relaxation in his heart but also deeply blamed himself.
Had he known that things would develop to the point where they are today, Chao Yanqian would never have chosen to follow Orochimaru in the first place. But what happened is what happened, and there is no way to redeem the things that have passed. The only thing that Chao Yanqian can do is to make up for the deception of Tsunade as much as possible.
Tsunade loves Konoha in her heart, so Chao Yanqian secretly made up his mind that he must guard this village and protect Tsunade's ideals.
As for welcoming Tsunade back, Chao Yanqian still decided to leave it to Uzumaki Naruto. Chao Yanqian is not as eloquent as Naruto, nor does he have the kind of influence that comes from the depths of the soul. The most important thing is that if you want to persuade a person, you must get the other person's approval. Tsunade was obviously already deeply disappointed with Chao Yanqian.
Chao Yanqian believes that as long as everyone is still living in the same world, there will eventually be a reunion.
Life is like this, full of joys and sorrows, anger, sadness, and happiness. What happened this time made Chao Yanqian feel very powerless, and things in the world always have cause and effect. Perhaps from the moment the decision was made, it was destined to face an ending like today.
But this is only the end of a stage, and life is far from over.
Tsunade left, but life will continue.
After taking over Konoha Hospital, the days of Chao Yanqian gradually cleared up. After all, there was no need to go out of the village to perform missions, the war had ended, and the number of wounded at Konoha Hospital was not as large as during the war.
For the next period of time, Chao Yanqian's life was very peaceful, either doing research in the Konoha Hospital or practicing alone in the training ground every day.
Bo Feng Shuimen had also become the Fourth Hokage. After becoming Hokage, Bo Feng Shuimen's days were not so leisurely. Every day, just dealing with the major and minor affairs of the village kept him busy from morning to night.
If Chao Yanqian were allowed to choose, he would definitely not sit in that position. Hidden in the office every day dealing with government affairs would surely drive Chao Yanqian crazy.
But Bo Feng Shuimen seemed to enjoy it. For the current Bo Feng Shuimen, he could definitely be called a winner in life. He had a good career and love, and his smile seemed like it could never be wiped off his face.
Konoha's atmosphere was such that everyone living there could feel inner peace.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the person has no ambitions.
For those with ambitions, Konoha's calmness is like a corrosive agent, which can easily paralyze, causing them to sink deeper and deeper into the trap of peace.
This is how Orochimaru was. During the war, Orochimaru could obtain a steady stream of experimental materials through the power of the battlefield commander. Coupled with the assistance of medical ninjutsu from others, Orochimaru never worried about experimental materials.
However, when the war ended and he lost many wise assistants in medical ninjutsu, Orochimaru gradually began to worry about the availability of experimental materials.
In order for the experiments to proceed smoothly, Orochimaru eventually reached out to the ninjas in the same village.
In the past few days, it had been heard in Konoha about the mysterious disappearance of ninjas. Bo Feng Shuimen had sent Anbu to investigate, but there was no result for the time being.
But Orochimaru didn't seem to care about this at all, still conducting his forbidden experiments in his own way, as if waiting for the village to investigate the results and then defect.
Perhaps Orochimaru no longer had any nostalgia for Konoha, only wanting to use this incident to make the Third Hokage completely give up on him.
After cutting off the bond with the Third Hokage, Orochimaru could leave Konoha without hesitation and pursue his own ideals.
In addition, Chao Yanqian also believed that although the Third Hokage had not found any evidence that could directly prove that Orochimaru had secretly murdered Konoha ninjas, in his heart, Hiruzen Sarutobi must have already determined that the disappearances were Orochimaru's doing.
The reason why the Third Hokage was forbearing for the time being, perhaps, was because he still dreamed that Orochimaru might repent, so that Orochimaru could still be considered the beloved disciple of the Third Hokage.
It's a pity that neither the village nor the bonds with his companions were as important as his ideals in Orochimaru's heart.
And Chao Yanqian, who had witnessed all this with his own eyes, finally determined that he and Orochimaru were not the same kind of people after all.
Humans are social animals. Anyone longs to be recognized and cared for by others. Orochimaru could leave everything behind, and so could Chao Yanqian. But deep down, Chao Yanqian still didn't want to give up this feeling.
Even if you can't have it, it's good to just look at it.
Recently, Chao Yanqian had been paying attention to Orochimaru's movements, preparing to act immediately and seize the summoning scrolls of Ryūchi Cave.
when Orochimaru left Konoha, he fought with Anbu ninjas and Jiraiya.
Although Jiraiya at that time was not yet Orochimaru's match, he was enough to wear down part of Orochimaru's strength. After the battle between Orochimaru and Jiraiya, it would be the weakest moment for Orochimaru.
But even so, Chao Yanqian did not have the confidence to defeat Orochimaru.
The [Flying Thunder God Technique] could only give Chao Yanqian the ability to protect himself in front of Orochimaru, but if he wanted to defeat him, the half-baked [Flying Thunder God Technique] of Chao Yanqian was obviously not enough.
When thinking of a helper, the first person that came to the mind of Chao Yanqian was Uchiha Chizuru.
He hadn't seen him for a long time and didn't know how Uchiha Chizuru was doing now, or whether he had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Taking advantage of Uchiha Chizuru's return from a mission, Chao Yanqian arranged a meeting. At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Chao Yanqian left Konoha Hospital and went to the barbecue restaurant, where he met Uchiha Chizuru, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Senior Chizuru, it's been a long time!" Sitting in the private room, he smiled and said to Chizuru.
"It's true that I haven't seen you for a long time, but every time I see you, nothing good happens," Uchiha Chizuru said coldly.
"But you're here anyway," Chao Yanqian looked at Uchiha Chizuru and smiled. "It seems that you still have some slight expectations of me."
