Chapter 56 Aunt Snake is Here (Please read further and vote with your monthly tickets)

On the Cloud Ninja ship, the atmosphere was as gloomy as a dark cloud.

"Ah, I'm sorry!"

Xiu apologized to Ai with shame.

Looking at Killer Bee, who was no longer in mortal danger, Ai said in a deep voice, "It's not your fault. I misjudged the strength of Konoha's White Fang and the others."

"Konoha's White Fang is a powerful figure with the strength to contend for the title of Kage."

"And that guy who uses water escaping and illusion techniques, he's another key figure in this battle."

Xiu nodded solemnly: "That guy controlled the rhythm of the battle from the very beginning."

“His mastery of water escaping and illusion techniques is not his greatest strength.”

Liu Yun said from the side, "That brat's casting speed is too fast. If Xiu hadn't created an opportunity, I probably would have been killed by his water jutsu."

"Such a person should not be unknown in Konoha; he is probably a newly emerging genius in Konoha."

Ai immediately said, "Investigate his identity as soon as we get back to the village!"

"Next time we meet, I'll definitely get my revenge!"

……

After landing, Genichi and the others did not immediately travel back to Konoha. Instead, they spent another night in the town and parted ways with Mudang and Muwei from Kusagakure the next morning before heading to Konoha.

After passing through the Land of Waterfalls, entering the Land of Fire, and returning to Konoha, it was around 11 a.m. on the third day.

This time, Sakumo Hatake did not disband the squad at the village entrance, but instead went to the Hokage Building together.

Genichi and two others were responsible for guarding the Cloud Ninja prisoners, along with two Anbu ninjas, while Sakumo Hatake met with the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened to Sakumo Hatake recount the details of the mission while smoking a cigarette.

Of course, this doesn't mean covering every single detail, but rather focusing on the key points during the mission, such as the performance of Genichi and his two companions, and their confrontation with the Hidden Cloud Village.

The encounter with the son of the Third Raikage, as well as the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts of Kumogakure, is of paramount importance.

After listening, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly said, "Hmm~ It seems that the new Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure is gradually growing up!"

Sakumo Hatake nodded: "Although the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki did not display the power of the Tailed Beast in this battle, he was able to break free quickly from Namiichi's Sharingan genjutsu. The power of the Tailed Beast must have played a part in that."

"Moreover, this person's swordsmanship is also extremely outstanding. It is foreseeable that he will become a strong person in the future, even without the power of the tailed beast."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly, then asked, "How does it compare to Genichi?"

Sakumo Hatake said, "In terms of swordsmanship talent, Genichi is probably no match for the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

"However... Xuan Yi's talent in water escape and illusion is extremely outstanding. What's even more remarkable is his keen combat intuition, insight, and overall control over the battle."

Then, Hatake Sakumo recounted in detail the battle that took place at sea.

From Genichi's prediction that the Cloud Ninja would use visual illusion, to using water clones to divide the battlefield, and then to his main body fighting four opponents alone, using his excellent water-style and illusionary abilities to kill two of them...

Clearly, while Hatake Sakumo was dealing with A and keeping an eye on Uchiha Namikaze and the others, he was also keeping an eye on the battle of Genichi Koushi's main body outside.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes showed a hint of surprise as he listened.

Genichi Shushita is a genius, that's without a doubt.

His performance in previous missions was outstanding, and he also demonstrated mature thinking.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was surprised because Genichi Koushi demonstrated a strong grasp of the overall battle situation.

This means that Genichiro Shushita will soon be a capable person who can stand alone and guard a region.

In this respect, even Sakumo Hatake doesn't possess such qualities.

Sakumo Hatake is a powerful assassin, a sharp blade and fang of Konoha, capable of piercing the heart of his enemies.

During the last Shinobi World War, he single-handedly broke through the enemy's lines several times.

"Shuo Mao, you have taught a good disciple."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed.

Sakumo Hatake said, "It's Genichi's own talent."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained noncommittal, saying, "Let the Anbu deal with the Cloud Ninja prisoners!"

"You all need to rest for a while." Sakumo Hatake nodded, then bowed and left the office.

Behind the desk, Hiruzen Sarutobi, with his pipe in his mouth, pondered for a moment before speaking, "Shin-no-suke, what do you think about transferring Genichi to the Anbu?"

Wearing a mask, Sarutobi Shinnosuke emerged from underground and said, "Genichi's excellence is beyond doubt, but isn't it too early now? Although he is mature, he is only eight years old after all."

"Or it would be more appropriate to postpone it for another year or two. After all, the tasks of the Dark Division are more important. I think Xuan Yi needs more time to improve himself now. He is progressing very quickly."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slowly: "Then let's leave it at that. We'll reassess in two years."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke bowed, and then his body slowly sank into the ground.

……

In front of the Hokage Building, Sakumo Hatake, having completed the handover, smiled and said, "Dismissed. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, you will have a period of vacation ahead."

"However, in three days... the squad will assemble for training in three days. Go!"

The three people under the tree responded with a shout, and then each used their teleportation technique to disappear.

……

"Dad, Mom, I'm home!"

Inside the dumpling shop, Xuan Yi shouted from under the tree.

In the kitchen, Xuan Yi's parents immediately popped out: "Finally back!"

"Are you okay?"

"Did the mission go smoothly?"

"Are you hurt?"

The two of them circled around Xuan Yi under the tree.

"Don't worry, don't worry, everything will be alright!"

Genichi chuckled softly under the tree.

There were still many regular customers in the store, and they all started to speak up.

"Our Xuan Yi is a genius, how could anything happen to him? Don't worry, Xuan Yi's mother!"

"I'm so envious! You have such a smart child!"

"Yes, yes, that bicycle is really useful!"

……

Amidst a wave of envy, Genichi under the tree went upstairs.

Xuan Yi's parents handed over the shop's affairs to their employees and then went upstairs to prepare a delicious meal for their son.

When Xuan Yi came out of the bath under the tree, there was already a table full of delicious food.

"It's better to be at home!"

Xuan Yi sat down at the dining table and began to eat heartily.

About an hour later, all the food on the table was gone. Under the tree, Genichi leaned back comfortably in his chair, his eyes half-closed, his thoughts wandering.

“There is a world of difference between talents… Killer Bee’s swordsmanship talent should be among the top in the entire ninja world, and right now he is only using two swords.”

"Killer Bee should be around twelve or thirteen years old now, a few years younger than Ryouichi. Even with the Sharingan, his swordsmanship is still a step behind."

"It is foreseeable that Killer Bee will soon surpass Rang I, and as for me, I will probably crush him."

Genichi Shushita couldn't help but think of the scene where Sasuke was brutally beaten by Killer Bee.

"You still need to hone your swordsmanship, but you need to move towards a change in its nature. Otherwise, you won't be able to compete with a swordsmanship genius like Killer Bee."

"And that inspiration to combine water magic and illusion..."

Before we knew it, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

After digesting his food, Genichi Shuxia was no longer sleepy, so he got up, changed his clothes, and went out with the sealing scroll.

In Tsunade's laboratory at Konoha Hospital, Orochimaru looked at the data in his hand and smiled: "Tissue matching, interesting..."

Tsunade glanced at her and scoffed, "Could you please stop making such a disgusting smile, or I won't hesitate to send you flying?"
