Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Outside Konoha, Might Guy was running towards them, standing upside down, his face full of excitement.

"Kai, stop running!"

"Haha, Senior Shikaku, you don't know that I was so suffocated on the boat before. Now that we are finally going back to Konoha, I am already anxious to go back!"

Might Guy quickly ran back backwards, "Shikaku-senpai, I'm going to report back to the village first."

Nara Shikaku laughed dumbly.

Kai is a master of physical skills on land, and his physical skills are better than Kai's father Might Guy.

Who could have thought that this kid would become listless as soon as he got on the boat, and his fighting ability would be even worse than that of an ordinary person.

Matt Dai may not even know that his son has this problem...

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Kai, you can go first. When we get back to the village, I will definitely publicize your deeds!"

"Please don't!"

Might Guy instantly returned to Shikaku, acting so well-behaved that he didn't seem like the same person as before.

Yuhi Kurenai covered her mouth and chuckled.

She looked at the village in the distance, feeling filled with emotion.

This departure did take a long time.

Not to mention anything else, it took nearly a month to go back and forth by boat, and then they were delayed in the Snow Country for a while. Their previous intelligence contacts had to rely on Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God.

Otherwise, being in the Snow Country, you would be basically completely isolated from the Ninja World.

Hong couldn't help but whispered: "Senior Shikaku, if..."

"Hush! Let's talk about this back in the village."

Shikaku smiled slightly. Most of the people behind him were research talents they brought back from the Snow Country, and many of them were their family members.

Although they are trustworthy and will become new residents of Konoha like the Ibri clan in the future, they are not yet.

and.

These people are from the Snow Country after all.

Some words should be avoided.

Yuhi Kurenai nodded slightly and said, "Will it be a bit difficult for Minato-senpai to protect the Third Raikage and the others alone?"

"Don't worry, Minato has the Flying Thunder God Technique, he can fly away at any time, we will be a burden if we stay."

Shikaku was calm.

He said, then smiled and said, "If the Third Raikage could take him down, all the Kumogakure ninjas would have taken action at sea."

When one’s strength reaches a certain level, numbers alone are of no use.

If Minato does not have to fight, even if the Hidden Cloud Village has five times the number of people, it will still not be able to stop Minato Namikaze.

The reason why the Second Hokage died was because he could run, but the other young people couldn't.

The situation is of course different.

Shikaku paused for a moment, then turned around and said with a smile, "Everyone, we have arrived at Konoha Village!"

Those who had been walking in a depressed mood were immediately cheered up after hearing these words and looked into the distance.

At the end of this trade route, there is a gate and a long wooden wall, which is majestic and magnificent.

The Hokage Rock in the distance is even more vague.

We've arrived at Konoha!

Seeing this scene, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Konoha!

For these former wandering ninjas, Konoha, one of the "Five Great Ninja Villages", is undoubtedly a paradise.

They have imagined countless times that they were born into Konoha, but when they woke up they found that they were actually still wandering.

But now

They are really going to walk into this village and become a part of it, it feels like a dream.

"Master Shikaku, we, we can really..."

"Of course, Kyouhiko has said before that you will become part of Konoha, and your children can choose for themselves whether to become ninjas."

Nara Shikaku knew that the reason these people kept questioning was simply because they were too excited.

The Land of Snow and the Snow Shinobi Village may seem beautiful, but in fact, they have experienced that area and understand deeply how hard it is.

The nobles are fine, they always find a way to make a living.

Once ordinary people face a snowstorm, they will be helpless and unable to get any help from heaven or earth.

Ninjas are certainly stronger.

However, the families and children of ninjas may not have the abilities of ninjas, and they still want to be part of a big village like Konoha.

I just have no other options.

As for those Snow Ninjas who remained in the Snow Country, it is not that they were unwilling to come, but rather that they did not dare to come, for fear of bringing trouble to their fellow tribesmen.

As for what happened next...

Now that they have a way to make a living, they are naturally more unwilling to trouble Yaze who has paid so much.

Lu Jiu patiently explained the policy again and again.

Everyone walked to the door while listening.

When they reached the door, Lu Jiu smiled and said, "We came at the right time. We just happened to encounter the market. We just arrived and can buy some daily necessities."

Yaze swallowed.

Konoha is too big!
Likewise, it’s too prosperous.

At a glance, there are countless goods, fruits and vegetables, many of which are never seen in the Snow Country, but here they are as plentiful as snow.

They walked down the street, as if they were passing from one world to another.

It was only when he walked all the way to the door that Yaze remembered.

"Lord Shikaku, I don't know where to live..."

"Don't worry, the village must have been solved."

Shikaku responded with a smile.

Even if the problem is not solved, with the abilities of Jingyan and Yamato, building seven or eight houses would be as easy as drinking water.

As for the place, just go next to the Ibri tribe.

There are new residents there, so everyone has common topics to talk about when they get together, and there is no need to lay new water and electricity lines.

In fact, it was just as he thought.

Not long after...

"Mr. Yaze, you are finally here!"

After a laugh, a figure emerged from the air.

too fast!
As a result, Lu Jiu and the others only saw a blurry shadow, and then they looked closely at the person in front of them.

"Lord Kyohiko!"

Yaze was immediately surprised and delighted.

Jingyan came to pick them up in person, so what Shikaku had promised before was finalized. There would be no deception about giving them another treatment after they came here.

He believed in Jingyan.

Jing Yan took a quick look and had a rough idea in his mind. He immediately looked at Shikaku and said apologetically: "Senior Shikaku, I've been busy recently and didn't come to pick you up..."

"It's okay. I have some understanding of your situation through Minato before."

Shikaku laughed.

Jing Yan nodded and said, "In that case, you go to report to Sister Tsunade first. I will take them to their accommodation and arrange their accommodation and identities first."

"it is good."

Shikaku nodded, and seeing that Yaze and the others trusted Jingyan, he felt relieved. He immediately greeted them, registered, and went to the office.

Jingyan immediately looked at Might Guy and Kurenai Yuhi.

"Are you going home first?"

"Let's start with the end. We have to see where they live."

Yuhi Hong smiled.

Kai was about to leave, but after hearing this, he stayed without saying a word.

indeed.

You always have to know where to live and whether it is a good place to live!
Along the way, they got along well with each other. Some of them had a good relationship with them and could be considered friends. They might even continue to interact with each other.

……

Hokage's office.

"What? Kakuzu has been captured?"

"Black Hoe Thunder Fang is dead too?"

Lu Jiu felt a little dizzy.

It had only been a few days since he and Minato had drawn up the charter and sent the scroll back to the village?

Is it possible...

"Kyohiko had already captured them?"

"No, after you sent the plan back, we finalized the plan and figured out how to capture him, so we captured and detained him smoothly." Tsunade knew he didn't believe it, so she took a pair of blades out of the sealed box and placed them on the table.

Shikaku looked at it carefully, and then a light bulb went off in his head, and he believed it instantly.

The Thunder Blade Fang of the Hidden Mist Village!
This sword is very special and is said to have a strong effect on the lightning-style ninjutsu. It is because of it that Kuroki Raiga has reached his current strength.

of course.

Now, he is most likely dead.

There was a flash of joy and shock in Shikaku's eyes.

"Great!"

Jingyan is very efficient, and there is a lot of room for improvement in Takikuni!
As long as we can deal with the Land of Water Taki and the Land of Rain, won’t the Land of Rain in the middle be easy to control?

Lu Jiu's thoughts raced.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning went through his mind and he figured out what was going on.

"Wait? Arrest?"

His eyes widened.

Captured alive?

Killing is easy, but capturing it alive is exponentially more difficult!

Jingyan actually has such ability?

Tsunade nodded slightly.

Lu Jiu's breathing became a little faster.

He is a smart man and certainly understands the value of Huojiaodu.

First, the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan can dig out some memories, perhaps there is information related to Uchiha Madara.

Secondly, Kakuzu has indeed lived for a long time, and he may know many secrets that others don’t know.

Thirdly...

Although Earth Resentment is a forbidden technique, its value is very high.

Otherwise, the Takigakure would have been destroyed long ago, so why would it be left to be stolen by Kakuzu?
Looking at Shikaku's eager eyes, Tsunade couldn't help but admire in her heart -

The young head of the Nara family is indeed extremely intelligent. No wonder the Nara family, the Yamanaka family, and the Akimichi family are all willing to listen to his advice.

She nodded slightly.

"We have extracted a lot of information. We can confirm that Madara has been in contact with these people using the identity of the one in black and white."

"The rest of the information was also valuable, and we also got the money he had accumulated."

"It's a pity that Black Hoe Thunderfang is dead."

Tsunade sighed.

Although some information can be dug out from Hei Chu Lei Ya's corpse, it is not as good as a living person.

But Lu Jiu was already very satisfied.

Capturing Kakuzu alive...

The other party is able to capture the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki!
Before this, he didn't even dare to think about it.

but.

"Did Keihiko kill Kurochu Raiga?"

"That's not the case. Kakashi solved it alone."

Tsunade answered.

Shikaku was surprised, then looked at Tsunade and saw the smile in the other's eyes. How could he not know the situation?

Tsunade seemed to be regretful, but in fact she was very proud and deliberately brought up the topic.

Isn’t Black Hoe and Thunder Fang powerful?
Kakashi killed it!
Everyone knows that Kyohiko is strong and talented, and Kakashi was also known as a genius in his early years, but...

In recent years, on the one hand, Kyohiko and Minato are too famous and their brilliance is too dazzling, and on the other hand, Kakashi is in a space where the Anbu can do nothing.

This resulted in Kakashi not actually taking any action in the past year or so, and no one knew Kakashi's specific strength.

Watch now.

Instead of regressing, he became even stronger and was able to kill Black Hoe Thunder Fang alone!

"As expected... Haha, that's not the right way to put it, as expected of Kakashi!"

Shikaku sighed.

He originally wanted to praise Kakashi for being worthy of being the "Son of Sakumo", but how could he not know about Kakashi's efforts?
The child's current status was all due to his own hard work. It is really inappropriate to call him "Son of Sakumo".

Tsunade smiled.

"There's no one else here, so there's no need to be so shy. Kakashi is working hard, but his rapid progress is inseparable from Kyohiko."

Shikaku was about to praise him, but he saw Tsunade had already impatiently taken out something.

Gravity workout clothes!
After explaining the principle, Lu Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

nice one!
Since he can become the squad leader of the jonin, it is impossible for him to be ignorant.

The stronger the ninja is, the harder it is to improve his physical strength. The reason is that after the chakra blessing, the ninja's physical fitness will be significantly improved.

Ordinary people would be exhausted after running a few hundred laps, but Might Guy can punish himself by running a few hundred more laps.

If ordinary people played like this, they would have been exhausted long ago.

but.

If you can become stronger by spending less time and effort, who would be willing to train like Might Guy?

There was nothing Kai could do about it, including himself.

It’s different with this thing!

Shikaku was ecstatic: "How many of these can you make?"

"The current production is not good enough and the cost cannot be reduced. We can only make a dozen or so pieces. This is the current arrangement. Take a look."

Tsunade made Kyouhiko's thoughts clear.

Lu Jiu praised repeatedly.

Good idea!
While making everyone stronger, it can also inspire everyone to strive for success.

In addition...

"According to my idea, the remaining two items can be rented, but they can only be rented to special jonin and above."

Tsunade suggested.

Shikaku nodded repeatedly.

This is a reasonable solution!
only……

"Really, there can't be more?"

"We can't have more. Metal is scarce right now. Even if you brought some back from the Snow Country, you still need it for other purposes, not just gravity suits."

Tsunade explained patiently.

Besides, it was impossible for Kyohiko to just sit in Konoha and cast the Heavy Rock Jutsu on them.

Shikaku rolled his eyes.

"The Third-Kami is proficient in all ninjutsu. The heavy rock technique is a little difficult, but it should be possible to research it, right?"

He also has his eyes on the third generation!

Jingyan is busy, but three generations are semi-retired, so he shouldn’t be busy now.

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh.

Sarutobi Hiruzen...

That's too busy!
Sarutobi Shinnosuke could help with earth-style ninjutsu, but with the other four ninjutsu, besides Sarutobi Hiruzen, only Orochimaru was proficient in all of them.

Where is Orochimaru?

On the one hand, we need to study chakra armor, and on the other hand, we need to study earth resentment and immortality.

He was so busy that he never canceled his shadow clone, basically splitting it into two.

Afterwards, Tsunade talked about Orochimaru and Kyohiko's recent creations.

For example, the Wood Release Puppet.

Lu Jiu was shocked when he heard this.

It seemed that during his one or two months away, Konoha's ninja tool technology had become almost unrecognizable.

After hearing what was said, he pondered for a moment and came to his senses again.

"Hokage-sama, you have something for me to do, right?"

"Hahaha, I can't hide it from you, Shikaku. You Nara clan are very knowledgeable in medicine. I want you to research medicinal baths that can restore the body."

Tsunade asked.

Shikaku pondered for a moment and immediately realized that Tsunade really couldn't spare any manpower.

He nodded immediately.

"Anyone in the Nara clan who is proficient in medicine can participate. As for the cost issue...try your best!"

Drug cultivation and research all cost money, not to mention that some drugs are expensive in themselves.

Tsunade naturally understood and whispered: "It's fine as long as the jonin can afford it."

"That's easy!" (End of this chapter)
