"Lord Hokage, we've found the contact between shinobi from Cloud and Stone Village and the criminal ninja Danzo."
An Anbu arrived in the Hokage's office, knelt on one knee, and spoke.
"I see! By the way, can you stop doing that?"
Naruto gave the Anbu ninja a helpless look. He had told them not to kneel in front of him every single time, but they didn't listen.
Or rather, they couldn't change their behavior. After all, they had been doing this for years.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
The Anbu quickly stood up, but his head was low. He quickly explained the details of their meeting and even found a case of missing people.
Naruto thought for a moment and said.
"Convey an emergency meeting between Elders and Department Heads!"
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
Soon, all the Department Heads and Elders were present in the room.
Not all jonin were called in this meeting. Because it was unnecessary.
"Everyone, the moment of war has arrived."
Naruto stood up on his feet and spoke with a serious expression.
"Has Danzo already revealed his location?"
Shikaku looked surprised.
"Yeah! It seems Danzo can't change his nature. It doesn't matter. He is not a problem. Stone and Cloud Village have been preparing for the war."
Naruto waved his hand.
"Is another war coming?"
Jiraiya sighed heavily, but he didn't say anything against Naruto's decision. Because Naruto made it clear that cooperating with Danzo was a major crime.
More importantly, the Cloud and Stone Villages were already preparing for the war. Naruto was just lighting the fuse.
"So, how do you plan to fight this war?"
Tsunade asked. Her fear of blood had been cured thanks to Impure Reincarnation Jutsu and the promise to resurrect Nawaki.
More importantly, Naruto was too strong. With his current strength, this war shouldn't last long.
"First of all, over two hundred Jonin and six hundred Chunin have gone through evolution. They have been training for two months now."
"It has been two months already?"
Tsunade looked surprised.
"Doesn't that mean you've been Hokage for five months? Time does pass quickly."
Jiraiya spoke.
Kakashi spoke.
"Lord Hokage, you specifically told Guy and us, and even trained with us, during these two months."
"So, will we be fighting the Raikage?"
His words surprised others. Shikaku, Inoichi, Choza, Tsume, Ibiki, Hiashi, and two random Jonin turned towards them.
They didn't know Naruto was giving these two special training. But a weird look appeared in their eyes.
If they remembered correctly, wasn't Naruto Kakashi's student?
Naruto didn't notice their expression and nodded.
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei, you will fight the Raikage and Guy-sensei will fight Killer Bee."
"Whoa! Are they ready for those two?"
Jiraiya looked at them in shock.
"Lord Hokage, I will release my Youth on the battlefield and defeat my opponent. My Youth is already screaming with joy."
Might Guy jumped from his seat and screamed with excitement.
Seeing this, the lips of others twitched. Even though Guy was an elder, his behavior hadn't changed in the slightest.
Fortunately, he was the Elder of Military, which didn't require a lot of brainpower. More importantly, Guy didn't lack brain.
"I see! It's gonna be difficult."
Kakashi sighed. He never thought that after that training he would be fighting the Raikage. That guy was the peak of the Cloud Village.
Was he just going to fight a guy like that?
"My goal for this war is simple. We need to defeat the enemy forces with ten percent of their numbers."
"The training after evolution has been quite heavy. So, this is the perfect time to release all that frustration."
"As for Stone Village, Pervy Sage and Granny will lead our forces. You two haven't trained much, but you still took that potion."
"It's time to release the potential of that potion."
In fact, everyone in the room had taken that potion. It increased their chakra and regeneration exponentially.
But these were all busy people with busy days, so they could barely make time for training.
Even Guy and Kakashi were pushed to their extreme limits by their training.
"Hehe! Don't underestimate us, Naruto! Our training is more specific and equally rewarding."
Jiraiya chuckled.
Tsunade nodded.
"Yeah! Although I haven't done any Taijutsu training, I don't need to do that. Besides, I have a surprise for you."
Naruto looked at her with confusion and asked.
"Surprise? Did you also manage to learn Sage Mode?"
"How—Damn it! Is it the only thing that I can do?"
Tsunade angrily shouted. She clapped her hands together, interlocked her fingers, and suddenly, a seed appeared on the ground, followed by a sprout.
In an instant, a small tree appeared in the ground.
"Wood Release!"
Everyone shouted in shock.
"Wait, isn't the genetics for the Wood Release stripped out of the experiment to make it more applicable for regeneration?"
Naruto shouted in shock. He was able to use Wood Release because he had the chakra of Ashura within him.
Tsunade rolled her eyes and said.
"But I still have my grandfather's genes. Besides, that potion had a degree of my grandfather's Chakra."
"It's similar to Tenzo's Wood Release but much stronger than his, thanks to my strength and recent improvement of my body."
Hearing her words, Naruto used his sensory ability on Tsunade. He also noticed the strangely similar chakra in her body.
This chakra belonged to the Sage Body, but it wasn't normal like other people who had taken the Evolution Potion.
It was more concentrated and powerful.
"I see! You have inherited at least seventy-five percent of the First Hokage's Sage Body. So, you've also mastered Sage Mode?"
Naruto asked.
Tsunade nodded and gave Jiraiya a disdainful look.
"If not for some events, I would've mastered Sage Mode much better than this fool."
That was true. The only reason why Tsunade didn't master Sage Mode was that she lacked the calm mind for a Sage.
First, she lost her grandfather when she was only a kid. Then, she soon lost her grandmother.
Afterward, she lost her father and mother as well. That wasn't enough. After a few years, she lost her brother.
That wasn't enough. In that same war, she lost her boyfriend.
Under such circumstances, she couldn't possess the calm mind to become a Sage.
Her situation was the opposite of Orochimaru. He had a calm mind but lacked the physical body to sustain the Sage Chakra.
