[By the time you all arrived, Tsunade had already met with Orochimaru. Orochimaru promised to use a forbidden technique to revive the people Tsunade missed, and Tsunade wavered because of this.]
[You came to a certain izakaya to discuss serious matters. Jiraiya proposed the invitation for Tsunade to become Hokage, and Tsunade chose to refuse. When talking about the Hokages who sacrificed themselves for Konoha, Tsunade claimed that people who easily sacrifice themselves are fools.]
[This angered Naruto. Naruto angrily threw a punch at Tsunade. However, you blocked Naruto's fist, and stated that what Tsunade said was correct. This aroused Tsunade's interest, and she asked Jiraiya who you were. This time, it was Jiraiya's turn to be confused.]
[After Jiraiya explained your background, Tsunade, who was already feeling depressed, focused all her attention on you. She couldn't believe that someone would impersonate her disciple. She grabbed your collar and threw you into the sky, while warning you that you must tell the truth, otherwise you would be beaten into a pulp.]
[You were neither haughty nor humble, addressed Tsunade as teacher, and hoped for a long overdue spar. Tsunade angrily attacked you, and you also fought back with full force against Tsunade.]
[Whether it was strength talent, the quantity and quality of chakra, or even the control over the Strength of a Hundred Seal and taijutsu ability, you were no match for Tsunade. But only in speed could you match Tsunade, thus avoiding a quick defeat.]
[Additionally, seeing you use the same monstrous strength as her, Tsunade had the intention to test your strength. So the two of you fought outside the city until the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, destroying the entire terrain.]
[Soon you were at a disadvantage, and blood flowed from your body. After seeing this, Tsunade's hemophobia erupted, but she still sternly demanded you to admit defeat. And you, unhurriedly, used Mystical Palm Technique to heal the external injuries, tore off the blood-stained clothes, and activated the Strength of a Hundred Seal.]
[At the same time, you asked Tsunade in confusion, wasn't her hemophobia cured, why did it relapse again? Tsunade, both shocked and angry, fought dozens more rounds with you, finally knocking you down and subduing you.]
[At this point, Tsunade had fallen into deep confusion and chaos, because you not only learned all her techniques, but also clearly knew her secrets. She could not understand how this happened.]
[You insisted that Tsunade was your teacher, even mentioning not just her hemophobia, but also the matters concerning her younger brother and Dan Katō. Just as you were about to talk about two or three things from Tsunade's childhood, Tsunade, with a red face, covered your mouth.]
Nojuro Ryun couldn't help but laugh out loud seeing this. This was one of the methods he used to handle Tsunade.
If Tsunade still didn't believe him, he could also use Transformation Technique to turn into a young Tsunade, imitating her coquettish manner when she used this method to swindle money from others.
Although Tsunade might go crazy at that time, on the contrary, she would probably suspect whether she was really old and had developed amnesia.
Of course, the above mostly consisted of jokes.
The trump card that made Nojuro Ryun confident he would be acknowledged by Tsunade was that Nojuro Ryun would tell Tsunade about Jiraiya's future death.
For this, Nojuro Ryun was even willing to undergo Yamanaka Inoichi's mind reading. Then he would see whether Tsunade believed this matter or not.
[Tsunade warned you not to reveal her privacy, and you nodded. Then, when Tsunade let you go, you asked in confusion, wasn't Jiraiya said to be dead in her words, why was he still alive and well?]
[Tsunade immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, then pulled you to a small grove and demanded you to explain everything. So you described a Tsunade in a future state, which made Tsunade realize that after she became Hokage in the future, she might have experienced certain things and returned to the past to meet you.]
[To further confirm your identity, she demanded you to display all the ninjutsu you learned from her. You naturally did not hold back. When you displayed the Healing Resurrection Technique, a self created ninjutsu, Tsunade's gaze towards you was no longer confusion but had turned into shock.]
[Soon Tsunade decided to acknowledge you as her disciple, because your talent was too astonishing. You were the first and possibly the last person capable of inheriting her legacy. She laughed heartily, patted your shoulder and said that was just a test for you. As for Jiraiya's matter, she was just talking nonsense while drunk.]
[Tsunade, who was originally depressed and didn't want to become Hokage, changed her mind because of your appearance. For Jiraiya, and for you, this disciple who inherited her legacy, she must also become Hokage. Her transformation shocked Jiraiya, and Jiraiya could only give you a thumbs up.]
Seeing this, Ryun showed a smile. Sure enough, he passed smoothly.
In the continuous simulations, Ryun gradually established a code of conduct.
Reasoning was useless. Creating an accomplished fact was more useful.
Sarutobi Hiruzen repeatedly cleaned up Danzo's mess. Orochimaru killed Sarutobi Hiruzen, Yakushi Kabuto started the Ninja World War, and neither were finally held accountable. This was enough to show that when a person's value was great enough, others would choose to forgive them even if they did wrong.
Ryun naturally would not become the next Danzo. He would never take a dark title like "The Darkness of Konoha" as a reward for himself.
But at least in the simulations, with his sufficient strength, he didn't mind using more radical actions in exchange for higher possible gains.
[Tsunade, with her changed mindset, talked about Jiraiya's matter. You all decided to confront Orochimaru. Tsunade met you alone at night, asking you how her hemophobia was cured. And your method was simple. You taught Tsunade the Healing Resurrection Technique.]
[At the same time, you promised that afterwards, you and Tsunade would treat all the injured in Konoha together. Before you died, you would not let anyone die before you. Tsunade's hemophobia was originally a psychological trauma. You gave her the chance to redeem everything with her life, and Tsunade obtained salvation.]
[That night, Tsunade pulled Jiraiya to drink until midnight. Tsunade, dead drunk, did not return to her own room. Instead, she went into your room and used you as a hugging pillow. She felt that you were simply a blessing bestowed upon her by the Sage of Six Paths. Clearly she did nothing, yet she enjoyed the hope you brought her. Therefore, she decided to take good care of you from now on.]
Seeing this, Ryun wanted to speak but stopped.
Drunk again, night assault again... Being young and vigorous, wouldn't she and Tsunade have something happen... Alright, he should have that kind of self control, right?
[That night you did not take the initiative, but you also did not refuse Tsunade's initiative. That night Tsunade held you, crying and laughing, telling you stories for most of the night. Finally, at dawn, feeling inspired, she pulled you to soak in the hot springs together. The next day, you, who had stayed up keeping Tsunade company until noon, were knocked flying out of the inn by her, who was disheveled.]
Seeing this, Ryun held the simulated version of himself in high esteem.
Sure enough, he was a gentleman!
Ahem... Since it was in a simulation, he could actually be a bit bolder.
After all, the Hokage works hard. Taking a long vacation to rest is also human nature.
Ah, how could he have forgotten to use guidance just now... Indeed, he in reality was also a gentleman!
