It's been 24 years, why am I reincarnated in Konoha without a system?

Chapter 286 I like Lady Tsunade, the Cursed Seal Development Plan

"Senior brother, I'll go take a look first..." Seeing Naruto being forcibly taken away, Sasuke immediately got out of bed and chased after him despite his weakness. He wanted to see the strength of this Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha with his own eyes.

That fleeting Mangekyou Sharingan just now was exactly the same as Kakashi-sensei's Sharingan? Just who is this guy?

"Wait for me, Sasuke. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, you can't do strenuous exercise." Sakura shouted anxiously like a devoted wife, nodded to Tsunade and Ishikawa, and quickly left.

To this, Tsunade Ishikawa remained silent and stopped paying attention!

"Lady Tsunade, I have something to trouble you with. Please come with me to the Hokage's office." Just as Tsunade was about to leave, Ishikawa suddenly remembered something and stepped forward to invite her.

"It's related to the Fifth Hokage? Perfect, I also need to report the Sunagakure situation to the Fifth Hokage." Upon hearing that they were going to the Hokage's office, Tsunade instantly understood, her gaze becoming serious. She nodded and strode forward to lead the way.

[Tsk tsk tsk, that alluring figure is always so tempting. The only problem is, it seems like I can't find a suitable topic to start a conversation with!] Following behind Tsunade, Ishikawa's mind raced, his desire churning.

However, amidst his wavering thoughts, Ishikawa couldn't help but re-examine his criteria for choosing a partner.

He does like G-Wagon, and he really likes the character Tsunade. But is this liking based on her physique, or is it just a filter of a two-dimensional character?

If we're only talking about physiques, then the other characters shouldn't be overlooked either. For example, Hinata with her hidden weapons, Mei Terumi (the Mizukage), Samui of Kumogakure, Shizuka of Nadeshiko Village, and so on…

After all, this is the world of anime, where there are countless stunning ninja extras and beautiful random girls!

But wouldn't he get caught up in women's jealousy and rivalry and be unable to extricate himself?

If he doesn't pick all those beautiful flowers vying for attention, wouldn't he have wasted his time traveling through time? If he can't even enjoy himself while diligently cultivating, what's the point of having this strength?

So annoying! Is he destined to be a womanizing playboy for life?

【Tch, who cares... If you like someone, you like them. You'll know whether love is sweet or not when it comes!】 Suddenly, Ishikawa chuckled and set the tone for his own needless worries.

"Oh? You have someone you like too, Ishikawa?" As if hearing Ishikawa's slightly meaningful laugh, Tsunade paused and turned around, her face full of teasing and mischief.

Ishikawa was taken aback at first, but then, without the embarrassment or shyness of a teased little boy, he said, "Well, if you don't mind, that person is probably Lady Tsunade!"

Tsunade??

"Kid, that joke isn't funny at all." Seeing that her teasing had failed and she had been ridiculed instead, Tsunade's face hardened and she strode quickly toward the Hokage Building.

However, the scene from two years ago when Ishikawa grabbed her chest subconsciously flashed into her mind, her pretty face flushed slightly and her teeth gently biting...

Is this kid serious?

The Hokage's office.

"That's it. Sunagakure has agreed to compensate and renegotiate the alliance treaty. However, they can't come up with that much money right now. They can only pay 500 million ryo in the initial phase, and the rest will be paid in fifteen installments of 100 million ryo per year." Tsunade explained the final negotiation results to Kakashi.

"Fifteen years in installments? Sunagakure really has a clever plan." Ishikawa said with a sneer, seeing through Sunagakure's cunning at a glance.

Fifteen years is a huge number of years for the war-torn ninja world!

If war breaks out in Konoha or other countries, he knows with a grain of salt that Sunagakure will use war preparations as an excuse to delay or even break the agreement.

After all, everyone who knows the ninja world's alliance treaty knows it's just a useless piece of paper that can be torn up at any time!

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's already quite an achievement that they agreed to pay 2 billion in compensation. Do you really think we can launch a war against Sunagakure?" Tsunade smiled bitterly. How could she not understand this situation?

The Sand Village is indeed wild, but it's also incredibly poor!

If it weren't for the One-Tailed Jinchuriki and the death of the Fourth Kazekage, Sunagakure would never have agreed to these conditions.

"Then it's decided. Ishikawa, go to the interrogation department and release Gaara and the others from surveillance. They're not enemies now, they're allies." Kakashi nodded in agreement. It wouldn't be right to keep them imprisoned at this point.

It's impossible to release them directly, but it's possible to restrict their activities before re-signing the alliance treaty.

"Yes, teacher." Ishikawa replied, but without moving an inch, he continued, "Teacher, shouldn't we explain the cursed seal development plan now?"

"The Cursed Seal Development Project??" Tsunade's pretty face changed slightly. Wasn't this Orochimaru's research result?

“Yes, that’s it.” Kakashi nodded to Tsunade, then took out a scroll from a hidden cabinet and handed it over. “This is the information on the cursed seal that Ishikawa got from Orochimaru. From it, the cursed seal is not the evil power we previously imagined, but a special amplification ability similar to Sage Mode.”

"However, because Orochimaru's development of the cursed seal is not perfect, the side effects of the cursed seal going berserk or turning into a monster occur."

"Now, I need Lady Tsunade to develop a new cursed seal based on this. If it can be successfully developed, Konoha's strength will experience a qualitative leap!" Kakashi said, his eyes burning with fervor, as if he could already see Konoha taking off and transforming under his leadership.

As long as any Konoha ninja of Chunin rank or higher possesses the Cursed Seal, the tragedy caused by the previous great war will not be repeated...

All tragedies stem from weakness.

At the same time, Tsunade, upon hearing this, also trembled in shock, her delicate body shaking. "Cursed Seal, is that Sage Art??"

Orochimaru is truly a genius; he actually came up with this method to control the power of Sage Mode.

This is a power that even she hasn't cultivated or mastered.

“However, researching and improving cursed seals isn’t enough with just data! We need test subjects and cursed seal sources; these are indispensable.” After a pause, Tsunade took the scroll and hit the nail on the head.

“I’ll figure out a way to get the source of the cursed seal,” Ishikawa replied with a smile. He knew Jugo’s location through Kimimaro. “As for the test subjects? Sasuke and Anko can both be test subjects for this research.”

Although he had already perfectly integrated the curse seal, Ishikawa had no intention of revealing it and inviting trouble. Similarly, he couldn't reveal the two Earth Curse Seals he had secretly given to his underlings; if he handed them over, what would he use to give his underlings a power boost?

"Sasuke and Anko?" Tsunade asked instinctively, only breathing a sigh of relief after seeing Kakashi nod in confirmation.

Seeing Tsunade accept the mission, Kakashi waved his hand and made the final decision, "S-Class Secret Research and Development, Cursed Seal Development Project officially launched..."
