Chapter 22 The Handprint of the Character "Soldier" (Please continue reading)
River Country, Daimyo Prefecture.

Yamanaka En yawned: "I didn't expect this mission to be so boring. I wonder how long it will take to finish."

Xuan Yi, who was practicing hand seals under the tree nearby, said upon hearing this, "It should be soon."

"The new daimyo of the River Country has taken office."

"Besides, it's been a month. If there's still a need, the village should send other teams to replace us."

Yamanaka En nodded, tilting his head to look at Xuan Yi forming a hand seal under the tree: "Xuan Yi, is this hand seal really that magical?"

Genichi Shushita smiled slightly upon hearing this: "It is indeed different from the basic seal."

"However, it's a bit difficult to master."

"Yan, you're interested too?"

Yamanaka En shook his head: "Let's forget about it. The hand seals of our Yamanaka clan's secret techniques are simple enough."

Genichi under the tree nodded in agreement.

indeed.

Ninja clans that practice secret ninjutsu have passed it down through generations, and their secret ninjutsu has often been thoroughly developed, with very simple hand seals. There is indeed no need to waste time learning the Nine Syllable Mantra hand seals.

After all, it is indeed very difficult to master the power of this hand seal.

Now, all that Genichi can use are the "zai" and "qian" seals.

He is currently focusing on the two hand seals, "兵" and "皆".

The "soldier" hand seal under the tree was something Xuan Yi had already vaguely grasped, and he felt it would help improve his speed.

The character "皆" was used by Genichi Shuxia in his attempts to apply it to illusions and counter illusions.

There are currently no leads.

call out!
Uchihachi suddenly appeared: "You two are really taking it easy."

Yamanaka En laughed and said, "Isn't that because we have you and the captain?"

The four people were actually divided into two groups to take turns protecting the new daimyo of the River Country.

Moreover, during this time, the daimyo of the Land of Rivers was also in the palace of the daimyo's mansion, surrounded by samurai, who, as ninjas, were actually hiding and protecting him in secret.

Furthermore, the daimyo of the Land of Rivers also kept ninjas for personal protection.

It's been a month now, and nothing unexpected has happened.

Although the Land of Rivers is not a major power, it is, after all, an ally of the Land of Fire.

Moreover, there was originally a ninja village, namely Amegakure (Rain Village).

However, after the Second Shinobi World War, Hanzo was defeated and forced to retreat, abandoning the Land of Rivers.

Therefore, the task of the Land of Rivers was handed over to Konoha.

However, the Land of Rivers itself still has a certain foundation, otherwise Konoha would not have only sent the White Fang Squad.

Xuan Yi stopped cultivating under the tree: "Lang Yi, is the mission about to end?"

Uchihachi nodded: "Yeah, a new team has come to replace us."

"Let's go!"

Genichi Shushita and En Yamanaka stood up, and the three of them disappeared from the spot.

"Brother Minato!"

Genichi under the tree was quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, it was Minato Namikaze's team that came to replace them.

"Kushina-neechan!"

Genichi under the tree greeted Kushina Uzumaki, who was wearing a vest, again.

Yes, Kushina Uzumaki wasn't always confined to Konoha Village; she also carried out missions outside.

"Xuan Yi seems to have grown a little taller again!"

Kushina Uzumaki reached out and touched Genichi's head under the tree: "Hmm, your hair seems to have grown quite a bit!"

Genichi scratched his head: "Because I learned a ninjutsu from Jiraiya-sensei, long hair is more advantageous."

Kushina Uzumaki understood instantly upon hearing this.

By this time, Sakumo Hatake had finished handing over the work to Minato Namikaze and the others. The two sides didn't chat much. Genichi Kishita waved his hand and left with Sakumo Hatake and the others.

After leaving the Daimyo's residence, Genichi Shushita turned around and asked, "Teacher Sakumo, the political situation in the Land of Rivers can't stay this stable forever, can it?"

Upon hearing this, Sakumo Hatake turned his head curiously and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Genichi Shushita said, "The Land of Rivers is also rich in resources. After the defeats of Amegakure and Sunagakure, the benefits here had to be ceded to Konoha and the Land of Fire."

"But I think the Sand Village and the Land of Wind will not be willing to accept this, especially now that the Land of River is in a period of political turmoil."

For Konoha, the interests of the Land of River lie in its mission volume, which is Konoha's main source of income besides the funding from the Daimyo's government in the Land of Fire. For the Land of Fire, however, it lies in the development of various mineral resources and other benefits.

The rise of a new daimyo in the Land of Rivers presents Genichi Kishita with a great opportunity.

But strangely enough, nothing unexpected happened during this period.

Is it because the White Fang of Konoha is too intimidating?
Or perhaps other forces really have no ideas?

Genichi Shushita had a slight doubt in his heart.

Sakumo Hatake was quite surprised to hear this. He hadn't expected Genichi Kinoshita to be so politically astute and to have such a strong sense of the big picture.

“Xuan Yi, your considerations are indeed correct.”

Hatake Sakumo affirmed Kinoshita Genichi's idea, and then said, "However, there has indeed been no movement from other ninja villages recently."

"After all, the Fourth Shinobi World War had only just ended, and the losses during the war were considerable. Everyone is now recovering their strength."

Genichi under the tree nodded in agreement.

That reason is indeed valid.

Moreover, Yamanaka Yan laughed and said, "Xuan Yi, don't think so much. Isn't it better if nothing happens?"

Genichi Shushita laughed upon hearing this: "That's true."

"I prefer quiet cultivation to fighting and killing."

Speaking of this, Uchiha Namikaze couldn't help but complain: "Genichi, your hard work makes me and En look incredibly lazy."

Despite his sarcastic remarks, Uchiha Namikaze maintained a cool and aloof demeanor.

Genichi under the tree said helplessly, "If I had your strength, of course I could relax a bit more."

"But that's obviously impossible; I have so much to learn."

Yamanaka En feigned a sigh: "Alas, with Xuan Yi around, I always feel ashamed."

Genichi rolled his eyes and retorted, "I've never seen you correct your ways."

Everyone laughed when he said that.

It was the morning of the third day when they returned to Konoha.

After the squad disbanded, Genichi Shushita went home and immediately took a relaxing bath.

It's not that you can't take a bath during the month in the River Country, but it's obviously not as comfortable and convenient as being at home.

After changing into casual clothes, Genichi Shushita greeted his parents and went out to Shizune's house.

"Shizune!"

Xuan Yi shouted loudly, his hands cupped around his mouth like megaphones, as he stood under the tree.

Soon, the upstairs window was opened, and Jingyin poked her head out, looking delighted: "Xuanyi!"

"Wait me a moment!"

Before Xuan Yi could speak, she quickly and silently closed the window.

A moment later, Shizune appeared under the tree in front of Genichi and asked with a smile, "Did you just get back today?"

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "Yes, I just got back."

What have you been up to lately?

Shizune, with her hands behind her back, skipped along excitedly: "Training with Lady Tsunade and observing at Konoha Hospital is so boring! Training at home on my own is so boring!"

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "Then it seems you've made quite a bit of progress during this time, haven't you?"

Jingyin said with a hint of shyness, "I have already mastered the Palm Immortal Technique."

In front of other people, this is something to brag about.

However, Genichi Shushita had already mastered the Palm Immortal Technique, so Shizune felt a little embarrassed.

"It's already great."

Genichi under the tree knew his own situation.

Mastering the Palm Immortal Technique relies entirely on mortgaging one's future, not on having genuine, powerful talent.

"Let's go to Konoha Hospital."

Xuan Yi Dao under the tree.

Feeling pleased with the praise, Jingyin nodded quickly, "Okay!"

For her, it didn't matter where she went, as long as she was with Genichi Kinoshita.

As for Genichi Kinoshita, there are cadavers available at Konoha Hospital.
