Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

After a while.

"Kyohiko-kun, why are you free to come here today?"

"I've been studying a ninjutsu these days, and I just happened to have some doubts, so I wanted to talk to my senior."

The person who came was none other than Uchiha Fugaku.

Jingyan smiled.

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes showed a trace of confusion.

Ninjutsu research?

Find me?

He was only confused for a moment, but soon came to his senses.

During this period, he had also heard about some of the movements in Konoha. After all, Fugaku is no longer the same as before.

Even the Uchiha clan...

You can also enter the senior level, attend some key meetings, and there will be regular meeting reports from time to time.

and so.

He knew what Konoha was doing recently.

Study Ninjutsu!

and.

It is also a strange new type of puppetry.

Uchiha Fugaku nodded immediately and said, "Then, let's go to my place to discuss in detail. This is not the place to chat."

He said this, pausing slightly.

"Shisui, you should continue to help everyone practice swordsmanship and instant body movement techniques, and don't fall behind in your own practice."

"Yes, Master!"

Shisui bowed respectfully.

He looked up after watching Kyouhiko and Fugaku leave, wondering what the two were going to talk about.

Ninjutsu research?

Is there any ninjutsu research in this world that could stump the teacher?

He scratched his head.

After thinking about it for a moment, I put it out of my mind.

Just as Fugaku said, the key for him now is to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can he do more things.

I am still too weak now!

Shisui turned around and walked towards the crowd, continuing his exchange of sword techniques and instant body movements.

It’s called communication, but in fact he is just teaching the others.

Because these people's body-sprinting and swordsmanship are not as good as his.

It's just a nicer way of saying it.

……

Guard, inside the captain's office.

The two sat down, Fugaku poured a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "What kind of ninjutsu is it that even Kyohiko-kun can't comprehend?"

"It's not a very difficult ninjutsu..."

Jingyan didn't answer directly.

He raised his head and glanced at Fugaku: "Senior, have you been okay these days?"

"You mean after the Guard was restructured?"

Fugaku asked back.

He took a sip of tea, then put down the cup, pondered for a moment, and then began to speak.

"After the reorganization, the combat effectiveness of the guard team has decreased a bit, but everyone is working for Konoha and is more motivated to do their work."

Fugaku's words were an admission that the Uchiha in the past were not proactive in some matters and did not play a role.

no way.

The Uchiha rebelled too many times, and the current benefits they have been able to obtain are entirely due to the kindness of the current generation of Konoha's helmsman.

The key is--

It is very likely that Jingyan will be at the helm for more than just this generation. The next generation may still be Jingyan. Even after he dies, Jingyan may still be alive.

The vitality of the Senju clan is truly amazing!

and so.

For the sake of the Uchiha clan, he had to lower his posture even though he and Kyohiko were on the same level in terms of village status.

What's more, there were indeed problems with the Uchiha in the past.

After hearing this, Jing Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "That makes me feel relieved. What about the use of ninja dogs?"

"Ninja dog..."

Fugaku hesitated for a moment and frowned slightly, "What the ninja dogs can do, the ninjas can also do, and there are very few battles around the village. I wonder if the ninja dogs can really come in handy."

He spoke of his considerations, then suddenly woke up and explained quickly.

“I’m not questioning the village’s decision, but I’m worried about the waste of the village’s financial resources.”

It costs money to raise a ninja dog!
Especially the Guard.

The guard team’s funds are all allocated by the village. After the reorganization a while ago, the funds sent were much more than usual.

Some of the extra parts were allocated to the ninjas in the guard team, and many were used for ninja dogs.

The guard team is of no use!

Is this necessary?

Fugaku was puzzled, but Kyouhiko said seriously, "Senior, have you forgotten how Madara designed Obito?"

"You mean, the Kirigakure ninjas, and the clones?"

Fugaku frowned, "But the Ninja Dog seems to be unable to deal with these clones."

It’s not that the ninja dogs are useless, but those things never come near them, so how can the ninja dogs smell them?

Jing Yan said: "When the guard team encounters a war, they can be extra dispatched to patrol outside, not necessarily limited to Konoha."

Fugaku was stunned for a moment, then immediately became serious.

Going to war?

He thought for a moment and said, "Didn't we capture the Eight-Tails from the Hidden Cloud Village? In this situation, do they still dare to fight?"

"It's not certain about the Hidden Cloud Village, but it's hard to say about Madara and Ōnoki."

Jingyan shook his head.

He didn't go into detail. Some information couldn't be revealed to Fugaku, so just know when to stop.

Having said this, he took out the glass bottle.

"Fugaku-senpai, I'll return your eyes to you."

"You don't... huh?"

Fugaku thought that Kyohiko didn't need it anymore, but when he looked closely, his pupils suddenly shrank.

The magatama of these eyes disappeared!

He was a little stunned.

"it?"

"I did an experiment. I dispelled the pupil power inside it, and then it became like this. It is currently unusable."

Jingyan answered.

Fugaku retracted his eyes and observed carefully, and found that he was indeed in a state of blindness due to exhaustion of pupil power.

He was a little surprised.

In the Uchiha clan, two forbidden techniques can cause blindness, but...

Izanagi, Izanami, and Kyohiko don't know any of them.

He didn't think that with the other party's style, he would steal these two forbidden techniques for experiments. It was most likely that he had developed a way to dispel pupil power.

That's already amazing!

because……

He observed that these eyes had been transplanted.

Given Jingyan's personality, it was most likely an experiment conducted on himself.

This thing is risky!

"Kyouhiko-kun's methods are truly shocking!"

"I tried reluctantly, but failed in the end."

Kyouhiko pulled out another scroll, "Fugaku-senpai, there is another jutsu I want you to master."

Fugaku took it.

After taking a look, he couldn't help but look up.

This is chakra perception!

Created by Tobirama Senju, it can sense the movement of chakra in the surrounding area through the fingers.

Although it is not as good as rolling the eyes, it also has a significant effect.

"I understand."

Fugaku looked serious and nodded to accept it, "I will master it as soon as possible!"

"The safety of Konoha is in your hands."

Jingyan bowed and stood up to leave.

Uchiha Fugaku stood up to see him off.

After sending Jing Yan away, he quickly took out his eyes and checked them carefully, confirmed them, and then put the eyes back.

It is indeed the eyes of the Uchiha clan!

So, Kyohiko's experiment failed and he is no longer interested in the Sharingan.

Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, he was worried that Konoha would continue to spy on the Sharingan in the sealed scroll in his hand, but now, he can feel a little more at ease.

……

In the Sand Village, Luo Sha returned to the village and quickly assigned some tasks to clean up some backlogged matters in the village.

It wasn't until late at night that he let out a long sigh.

There is really no one left in the Sand Village!

If he had some talent, he wouldn't have fallen to this point.

At this moment, Luo Sha regretted a little. If he had known this, he should not have sent Maki to Konoha. The child was a talented person and should have grown into a pillar of the village.

But now...

It is hard to predict whether he can stick to his original intention after being sent to Konoha.

but.

If we don’t send them there, how can we control ourselves as children?

Konoha is too prosperous!

"Hey! I hope he can help the village and keep more talented people. Otherwise, the Sand Village will really be destroyed!"

Luo Sha felt heavy-hearted, so he stood up, opened the door and went out.

Elder Naito was holding a document in his hand and was about to knock on the door, but his movements suddenly froze when he saw this.

"Kazekage-sama."

"The elder hasn't left yet? Is there anything you want to discuss?"

Luo Sha brought him in.

Elder Naito entered, then bowed and said, "Lord Kazekage, there is news from Kyoto!"

"Oh?"

Luo Sha's eyes lit up and he took it immediately.

Then, he glanced over and his expression suddenly became stiff.

The meaning of the name...

If it's just that broken hill, let them decide for themselves.

but.

This is not decentralization, but the daimyo and nobles in Kyoto no longer care about the desert to the north.

Then, naturally, they don’t care about the Sand Village.

Luo Sha looked at the receipt and didn't speak for a long time.

Elder Naito said: "Lord Kazekage, Lord Daimyo, you should trust us..."

"I understand, Elder."

Luo Sha took a deep breath and said, "As long as we can achieve results and produce results, they will still recognize us, and then everything will be fine."

The key to the Sand Village now is...

With each defeat, Kyoto's funding became less and less.

They urgently need to show Kyoto their results.

For this reason, even a little sacrifice cannot be taken into consideration at the moment.

Luo Sha put down the scroll.

"Elder, I plan to cooperate completely with Konoha. I will send people to Konoha to discuss the division of the northern part of the River Country."

"Well, now... this is the only way."

Elder Naito lowered his eyebrows.

The Sand Village now has no bargaining power.

Fortunately-

In the alliance, the third party is not one of the five powerful ninja villages, but the Hidden Rain Village.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Although the Hidden Rain Village is very powerful among the small ninja villages, it is still not as powerful as the Hidden Sand Village.

"Then let's change it! In addition, regarding the climate issue, we can discuss it with Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village and try to finalize it..."

Luo Sha expressed his thoughts one by one.

Regarding the affairs of River Country, they can make concessions and allow the Hidden Rain Village to gain more benefits.

but.

The climate must improve!

Transforming the northern desert will not only improve the climate in the north of the Wind Country, but most importantly -

Let the nobles see the value of the north!
The desert is not a desolate, worthless place.

This place can be transformed, crops can be produced, and even trade routes can be opened up.

The Hidden Rain Village needs the interests of the River Country, but they actually need more support from Kyoto.

Both parties get what they need!

Elder Naito thought for a moment and nodded gently: "I understand."

"After that, at sea, let them pay more attention. We must cooperate with Konoha to take down the Sea Kingdom!"

There was a fierce light in Luo Sha's eyes.

The Sand Village is indeed weak.

but.

If they can’t beat Konoha Village and Iwagakure Village, then they can’t beat you, Kirigakure Village?
not to mention.

With Konoha's help this time, we will definitely be able to win!
"The nobles have a lot of businesses on the sea. By taking over the Sea Kingdom, they can also gain more benefits and voice in Kyoto."

The old man nodded in agreement.

Let’s not talk about why the Sand Village has become so weak.

In a sense, cooperation with Konoha is a huge win-win!
"Ah."

……

On the sea near the Kingdom of the Sea.

"Who are you? How dare you rob our merchant ships!"

"Hey, Water Country? This is our Sea Country. No matter how powerful our Water Country is, you have to stand aside!"

On the pirate ship, a burly man held a samurai sword in his hand, his eyes fierce, "If you know what's good for you, hand over the goods. We rob you of your wealth, not your life. Otherwise..."

"What else?"

A figure walked out of the boat with a cold look in his eyes.

"You bunch of wandering ninjas, don't you know that the Sea Country has hired our ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village?"

Then, one figure after another emerged from the surrounding sea.

Hidden Mist Ninja!
The leader was none other than Hoshigaki Kisame.

He had failed in his previous mission and was scolded and punished, and was then sent here as punishment.

Compared to Kyohiko, Kisame is of course very weak.

can.

That's only relatively speaking. In the Hidden Mist Village, he is a top-notch genius of the Hoshigaki clan, and his chakra capacity is excellent at a young age.

Today he...

Naturally stronger than before!
The next second, he moved forward in an instant, came to the surface of the sea, and slapped the water with his palms.

Water Escape·Rain Four Sharks!
Four water sharks took off into the air and flew towards the ship in front.

Just some wandering ninjas dared to rob ships near the Sea Kingdom, and they robbed ships from the Water Kingdom.

Not only that, this gang even dared to rob for a second time!

How could he bear it?
The water shark rushed upstream, but the next moment, fireballs suddenly erupted on the boat.

Fire escape ninjutsu?

How could a wandering ninja master fire jutsu on such a scale?

but.

It's only at the Chunin level.

He snorted coldly and immediately formed seals with his hands.

Kirigakure no Jutsu!

Not only him, on the surrounding sea, each and every Mist Ninja released the Mist Hidden Technique, covering the entire sea area.

Immediately afterwards, Hoshigaki Kisame formed a seal again.

Water Release·Shark Bullet Technique!
A huge shark emerged and rushed towards the ship in the distance.

This attack will surely cooperate with my companions to kill all the people on this ship...

Hoshigaki Kisame was thinking about it.

Suddenly, a scream was heard from the boat.

Immediately afterwards, he sensed a Kirigakure ninja being chopped off the ship and falling directly into the sea.

died?

Kisame was a little shocked. The next moment, he sensed——

boom!
A huge wall of water rose from the sea and blocked his large shark bullet.

Although the shark quickly devoured the chakra of the water wall.

but……

The next second, he sensed the figure approaching him rapidly.

This speed?

How could a wandering ninja be this fast?
Kisame immediately realized that something was wrong.

Boom!
The two swords collided and he almost lost his grip on the blade, and was chopped off and flew away.

What a force!
"Hey!"

The other party sneered and kicked him quickly.

Kisame immediately blocked with a kunai.

but.

The other party didn't dodge.

Boom!
The kunai hit a piece of shin guard, and failed to penetrate the opponent's defense, but instead -

Bang!
He was knocked out again.

The next second, the opponent's blade turned and was in front of him in an instant.

laugh!
Kisame fell backwards, but his arm was still cut.

So fast!

There's no way this guy is a wandering ninja!
He didn't have time to think about it.

Quickly run your fingers across the wound and press directly onto the water surface.

The next second, sharks emerged and swallowed him up, disappearing into the sea. (End of this chapter)
