Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 66 Refusal

Chapter 66 Refusal

"Lord Raikage is joking."

Silently, she made two quick cuts, removing a thumb-sized exploding bug. Then, she skillfully cleaned the wound and used her palm magic to heal it.

Naruto stepped forward and replenished A's Nine-Tails chakra, completely healing A's wounds.

"It has such powerful healing abilities."

Shizune looked on with envy. As a medical ninja, she could see the difference between this power and medical ninjutsu.

The Palm Immortal Technique essentially uses Yang Escape to accelerate cell growth and division, enabling wounds to heal quickly. This healing effect comes at the cost of consuming cellular vitality.

Naruto achieved this effect simply by injecting chakra, without any medical skills whatsoever; it was full of life force!

"I'm not joking!"

Ai sat up and put on her shirt.

"It's such a waste for a medical ninja as talented as you to wander around like this."

"Don't poach my people right in front of me!"

Tsunade rubbed her temples, veins bulging on her head, clearly wanting to punch Ai.

"I left Konoha because of psychological trauma, but Shizune can go back to lead the medical team at any time."

"Hmph, what's so great about Konoha..."

Ai chuckled: "If I had to say, all the Jinchuriki with the Wood Release Sharingan are currently in Kumogakure, so it's really hard to say where Konoha's legacy is."

"How dare you bring that up..."

Tsunade's face darkened: "Doesn't your Kumogakure have its own traditions? Why are you always trying to poach talent from Konoha?"

"It's clearly Konoha's internal strife that's so powerful, isolating the son of a hero and betraying the Uchiha clan. Aren't these all things Konoha did?"

Ai scoffed disdainfully, "If Konoha can't tolerate them, does it want them to die?"

Tsunade felt discouraged; what they said was indeed true.

Although she said she left Konoha because of psychological trauma, only she herself knew the truth.

She was perfectly clear about the higher-ups' attitude towards the Uchiha clan—whether it was wariness or targeting.

"And you, kid?"

Tsunade turned to Naruto: "And why did you join Kumogakure?"

Naruto shrugged: "My older brother said he'd get me anything I want, and he even wants me to be the Raikage..."

"With your strength, you could easily become a Kage in Konoha, right?"

Tsunade frowned slightly: "Besides, you don't seem like someone who would be interested in the position of Kage."

"No, no, no, attitude is very important."

Naruto raised his index finger and shook it: "Indeed, I'm not interested in the Kage position, but I can give it up, but you can't refuse to give it to me."

"Besides, becoming a Kage means being responsible for the entire village, and the guys from Konoha aren't worthy of that."

"Does he only care about personal gain? What a spineless guy..."

Tsunade sighed. Although she said that anyone who wanted to become Hokage was a fool, she actually longed for someone to appear and break her inner nightmare.

Oh my, you've even started talking to me about beliefs?

A wicked smile crept across Naruto's lips as he poked out a pair of bright orange fox ears on his head and swung them back and forth.

"The kind of conviction you're talking about, the kind where someone toils away, tongue lolling out, dedicating their entire life to the mere position of village chief? That's dog training, isn't it?"

"What did you say, 'kid'?!"

Tsunade's expression suddenly darkened, and she kicked out.

Seeing that Naruto neither dodged nor avoided, she suddenly realized something and subconsciously reduced her strength.

Then, with undiminished momentum, it passed through Naruto's body and kicked A in the stomach.

"Tsunade, you pfft—"

With a deafening crash, Ai, who had just sat up, was sent flying backward, smashing into the wall and creating a large, spiderweb-like crack...

Naruto turned his head and glanced at him: "Ah, sorry, bro."

"Raikage-sama!"

Karai's expression changed: "Damn it, they actually attacked Lord Raikage suddenly..."

"Damn it! Tsunade!"

Ai dusted himself off and stood up, furious: "How dare you kick me! Are you going to join Cloud Village or not?"

"I won't join!"

Tsunade roared, and A was forced to take a half step back by the woman's shout, gritting his teeth and groaning angrily.

If it weren't for the fact that I just helped you out, hmph...

"Kid, was that your Sharingan just now?"

Tsunade looked at Naruto with a serious expression.

It can open and close freely; it is an eye of natural awakening!

But Minato is of commoner blood, and Kushina is a pure Uzumaki. How did this kid awaken the Sharingan?

"The Uzumaki clan are also descendants of the Six Paths of Heroism, so it's reasonable for me to awaken the Sharingan, right?"

Naruto shrugged. It wasn't exactly a secret that he had the Sharingan. The most amazing thing about Kamui's eye technique was that even if you knew the information, you couldn't do anything about it.

If Obito hadn't underestimated his opponent, he would have been helpless.

"Reasonable... my ass!"

Staring at the blond brat in front of her, Tsunade became increasingly doubtful about life.

She wasn't surprised that Naruto could awaken Wood Release, after all, Uzumaki was a distant relative of Senju.

But the Sharingan... isn't that a bit too far off?

Seeing Tsunade's expression of utter disbelief, Mabui secretly chuckled.

When Naruto needed to get his eyes transplanted, he sought out the most outstanding medical ninja in Kumogakure, so this matter could not be kept secret from the higher-ups in Kumogakure.

Afterwards, everyone assumed that Naruto had somehow transferred the power of the Sharingan into his own eyes.

But only she and Samui knew that Naruto's Sharingan was a complete copy of the past.

Although it's unclear how Naruto did it, Mabui immediately cut off all social interactions upon realizing this, and Samui, who already didn't interact much with people, became even more taciturn.

"You wouldn't understand how gifted my brother is!"

Ai waved her hand: "If you don't want to join, then forget it. Jingyin, let's go! Let her go crazy here!"

Mute: "???"

"Get lost! Don't even think about poaching my people!"

Tsunade grabbed Shizune and left, grumbling.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Ai shook his head regretfully: "What a pity for two top-notch medical ninjas."

You seem quite disappointed...

Naruto's lips twitched. Ever since he joined Kumogakure, A had been looking at everyone with a vengeance.

However, he, as the first in line to succeed the Raikage, didn't have any objections.

From this perspective, Ai was indeed successful.

He successfully tied Kumogakure to Naruto's side, changing Naruto's perception of Kumogakure from "joining Kumogakure" to "my Kumogakure."

Naruto was naturally aware of this, but he did not resist. After all, only the Kage were responsible for the entire village, and whether or not he would become the Raikage depended entirely on his mood.

Travelers like him, who dare to travel all over the country on a motorcycle, are pursuing a kind of freedom and willfulness that is not bound by society.

They may act charitably and generously, but emotionally they are self-serving.

A clearly understood this, so he turned the entire Hidden Cloud Village into Naruto's allies...

Therefore, there are only two candidates for the Fifth Raikage.

1: Naruto.

2: Naruto's people.
