At the same time, Naruto and Tsunade were planning their revenge plan. Izanami, who just arrived at her office in Japan, received a report of their actions. Well, Izanami had instructed everyone to give her a report on Naruto’s actions.
She wasn’t going to be like a certain irresponsible guardian who didn’t even know how much bullying and brainwashing his godson was subjected to. Speaking of which, she wondered how that guy is doing right now.
Last she heard, he was enjoying VIP treatment for sneaking into the women’s bathhouse.
Seriously, that guy really doesn’t know what’s good for him. Of all the bathhouses he could have picked, he picked one that was run by Japan. Unlike those other bathhouses, Japan bathhouses are protected by the yokai unit, so it is almost impossible to sneak a peek. That is, unless you have close to six path powers and a very good stealth ability.
“Oh, Monkey, you are really in for a ride this time.” Izanami mused as she read the report and guessed what Tsunade would do next.
What Tsunade was going to do was to completely muddy the waters and start fishing. She would first begin to circulate how much the Sarutobi had favored his clan and how much money they had embezzled from the Konoha treasury.
Using those rumors as a base, she would continue to fuel the fire, making the Sarutobi clan more hated than the Uchiha. She would make them realize that they are nothing but a bunch of civilian ninjas who just happened to be lucky.
This way, those who want to cause trouble for Tsunade would have to stop their actions and start cleaning up their own mess. This would allow Tsunade to gain enough time to think of solutions and completely cut off Sarutobi’s influence on Konoha.
One might say Tsunade is very decisive in her actions. After she realized who the perpetrator was causing her trouble, she retaliated immediately.
This is a characteristic that Izanami very much liked about her. She and her grandfather are very much the same in this regard. Hashirama was also like this. When he realized Madara was about to destroy their hard-earned dream, he decided to fight him to the death.
Although he may have never expected actually to kill Madara with his own hands. After all, no matter what, this is his best friend, who cherishes him more than his own wife.
Izanami, who was there to witness their fight, knew that Hashirama wanted to quickly heal Madara before his heart stopped. But unfortunately, Madara, who had his own agenda, used Hashirama’s kindness to bite a part of his flesh, which resulted in his injuries worsening and the perfect time for treatment missing.
And Tsunade is just like Hashirama. She obviously knew that with the yokai unit, finding evidence of any of Hiruzen’s crimes was very easy. But she obviously just wants to make him obedient and not kill him.
Why? Because in one part of her life, this person was her beloved teacher. For that past kindness, she is still willing to tolerate his existence.
One could say all Hiruzen’s disciples inherited most of his characteristics. Orochimaru inherited his coldness and ambition, Jariaya inherited his lustfulness, and lastly, Tsunade inherited his kindness.
“Well, no matter, as long as both student and teacher don’t regret their actions, I shouldn’t meddle too much. “ Izanami mumbled as she first used chakra to completely encrypt the information and placed the document in the recycle bin. Trash like this can be reused to make various inventions, so Japan has a special policy to collect all the trash and recycle it.
“And besides, I have to clean my own mess, “ she muttered as Izanami stood up from her seat. Her gaze turned to the tall building near her office.
This building is none other than the Japan Academy of Studies. This is where children under age 15 learn. Unlike other schools in the ninja villages, this academy allows students to learn more than just ninja knowledge. Whether it was research, business knowledge, politics and governing, blacksmithing, or many more professional skills, they are all taught here.
In Japan, this building could be said to be the second oldest building on this island. And more than 99% of residents learned and spent their childhood there. In fact, the other 1% are the foreign adults who were too old to actually go to school when they migrated to Japan.
Even though this academy is simply the best of the best in the educational field, the tuition required for attending is enormous. Well, with Izanami’s financial abilities, she could have let education be free, but she didn’t do it. The reason for this is that most people don’t value things that were given for free.
But even in Japan, not everyone is rich enough to afford tuition in this academy. So Izanami proposed allowing students to do part-time jobs in the academy. There are also many scholarship programs that would allow those who are truly poor to attend school normally.
Due to this system, 90% of the students were able to study and learn with the right attitude. These people were very humble and knew the difficulties of life, so their drive to strive forward is extremely strong, and the competition is very fierce. Furthermore, the prizes that were given to the top-scoring students also play a very big role in this drive.
It was due to this competition that Japan’s social and technological development was very high. After all, for money, people would definitely work more diligently.
But even in this system, there are many troublemakers. These guys are the young masters of the major clans who have been pampered their whole lives.
These guys have no interest in money, as their clans have enough finances. And they, like humans, have arrogance drilled into their bones.
So, these young masters, having no ambition, were forced to come to the academy, where they terrorized the poor fellow students. And these problem children are very arrogant, and normal teachers don’t dare offend them.
So for the better good of everyone, these problem children were sent to Izanami, the biggest problem child to handle and educate. After all, in front of her, even their clan ancestors would have to grovel under her feet, so these problem children would have no status to act all high and mighty in front of her.
And after these children were shaped and disciplined correctly, most of them became pillars in Japan. In fact, in the Jade Hall, at least 9 out of 10 people were once called problem children and were sent to Izanami to handle.
And these guys, after her class, became straight and showed off their talents without walking on the path of an arrogant young master.
And this generation of young masters has come to the Academy and is waiting for Izanami to give them her divine guidance.
Usually, she enjoyed this process, as in her long life, there was really nothing more satisfying than terrorizing those young masters.
But unfortunately, she now has more important matters to attend to than playing with some brats.
