My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 386 You're using this to test the ninja clan?

A few days later, in World Two, at a temporary hospital near the Ninja Alliance's headquarters.

"You four, stop playing cards over there!"

Kushina, who looked both cute and fierce, walked out of the ward and said in a low voice.

Playing cards outside the ward, it's unbelievable that those four would do such a thing.

The two pairs of grandmothers and granddaughters from the Senju clan turned around in unison. Tsunade, the first one, muttered as she put down her cards and stirred them in the pile: "It'll be at least another ten hours. What are we going to do if we don't play cards?"

Labor isn't like a big shove; contractions have only just started now, and it will be a long time before the baby is actually delivered.

The reason for calling them over so early was mainly because they were worried about Kurama causing trouble. Fortunately, all four members of the Senju family were free. Tsunade, who was on vacation, had to cut her vacation short and come back because her boyfriend was "devoted to work" and her partner, Mitarashi Anko, was filming some movie.

Two couples of Hiruzen Sarutobi, four advisors from Konoha Village, two Minatos, two Danzos, two Narutos, three Sasukes... even Jiraiya, the number one from the main world, took leave to come over.

Apart from Tobirama Senju, who was busy as a bee, this temporary hospital now has an all-star lineup.

Among these people, some came out of affection, some were related by blood, and some, like Danzo, came to join in the fun.

Because the child who is about to be born is not only the 'Naruto' who is about to be born, but also the first child born to the new generation of high-ranking members of the Ninja Alliance.

He is the true crown prince of the Ninja Alliance.

"I'm about to win!" Hashirama No. 2 looked at the chaotic pile of cards with tears in his eyes.

When the four of them play together, it really highlights that their skill levels are evenly matched, and winning or losing is purely random, which can be quite fun at times.

"Kushina." Number One, Hiruzen Sarutobi, approached and whispered, "Want to talk alone?"

Kushina, with her hands on her hips, glanced at her son who was happily browsing the Luo Wang website and sighed, "Forget it, Third Hokage. I shouldn't have blamed you too much for that matter."

After calming down, it's actually a bit unreasonable to blame a busy Kage for Naruto being raised in the wrong way.

They gave Naruto's son, who was a Jinchuriki, a great deal of freedom and protection. At that time, Jiraiya was the only person in Konoha Village most suitable to teach Naruto.

Ultimately, these parents also bear a great deal of responsibility.

Number One, Hiruzen Sarutobi, opened his mouth but said nothing.

He watched Kushina turn and head to the restroom, and felt much relieved. Although the other party's oppression wasn't the main reason for his escape, he still felt uncomfortable if he didn't get her forgiveness.

He was actually good enough to Naruto, but it's like Minato, who was already very fast, but had many regrets about not being able to catch up and felt that he wasn't fast enough.

It is the guilt that arises from believing that you could have done better.

He sat back down on a nearby corridor chair, opened the Luo Wang website, and was about to browse the latest news when a message about 'him' from World Two popped up in the Luo Wang app.

[Would you like to talk to me privately?]

[Trouble is brewing] Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously tried to touch his beard, but only touched his smooth chin. He stood up and followed his other self to the balcony at the end of the corridor.

"Click~"

After closing the door, the sounds of earth-style ninjas working at a nearby construction site could be faintly heard outside.

Number Two, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked quite old, dressed in casual clothes. Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, he gazed at the distant, raised earthen wall and asked, "How...how have you been lately?" [Weren't you here to ask for help?]

Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief, looking at his 'self' who was obviously much older than at the same time, feeling helpless, but said: "I've been doing pretty well lately, I've been to a lot of places and seen a lot of beautiful scenery."

"Is that so?" Number Two Hiruzen Sarutobi said wistfully, uttering a question with an unclear meaning.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the number one, didn't want to steer the conversation toward Konoha Village, so he simply continued recounting his adventures. The more he talked, the more interesting it became, and he truly immersed himself in the storytelling.

From time to time, they can also send videos, audios, and pictures through the network to increase the sense of immersion.

The situation in Konoha Village is actually quite simple; the origin of the problem lies in the Uchiha clan massacre.

The Uchiha clan extermination in World 2 is still a long way off, but if the Uchiha knew about it beforehand, would they really still be able to stay in Konoha Village?
As the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally hoped to resolve the situation peacefully, allowing the Uchiha clan to stay and continue serving the village. However, the higher-ups of the Uchiha clan did not share this view.

After secretly conspiring with the reincarnated Uchiha Fugaku several times, he decisively led the vast majority of his clansmen to switch sides and join the Ninja Alliance headquarters, openly leaving Konoha and merging with the reincarnated Uchiha clan.

What should be done about Konoha Village?
Behind the reincarnated person is Sasuke, and behind Sasuke is Link, the supreme ruler of the entire Shinobi Alliance. Just for this reason alone, Tobirama Senju would absolutely not allow Konoha Village No. 2 to use force to resolve the issue.

However, this is just the beginning.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning; once something gets off track, it's hard to stop.

In the past, ninja clans needed the protection of villages, and villages needed the efforts of ninja clans. But in today's world, under the framework of the Ninja Alliance, there is no need for that at all. Why should we hand over the contributions that our clans have worked hard to earn to the village?

Now it's the era of the Great Net, no information can be hidden. The Uchiha 'defected' and within a day, information about it was all over the Net.

The Uchiha's successful escape has caused many ninja clans to have subtle thoughts, not only those in Konoha Village, but also those in other ninja villages, although Konoha Village is in a more troublesome situation.

Because the Ninja Alliance itself was built by another Konoha village.

The high-ranking members of the Ninja Alliance include many members of the ninja clans from Konoha Village in the main world.

In other words, if the ninja clan of Konoha Village No. 2 were willing, they could follow the example of the Uchiha and merge with the ninja clan of Konoha Village No. 1, and immediately become part of the high-ranking members of the Ninja Alliance.

You're going to use this thing to test the ninja clan?

Hey, you have a good eye for people.

That's roughly the process.

For example, the Hyuga clan, who formed an alliance with Kumogakure for a village-wide celebration, could collectively stay home for the main clan's birthday. How much sense of belonging do they have to the village?
Aside from the Ino-Shika-Cho trio who followed the Sarutobi clan, other ninja clans were also quite interested.

Moreover, ninja clans are not monolithic. The Uchiha clan split apart, with Shisui and his group, who were loyal to Konoha, and Fugaku and his group, who led their clan to join the Shinobi Alliance, having completely different ideologies.

It's clear to everyone that the Ninja Alliance is powerful, and a new era is striding into the future. The structure of the ninja villages was destined to be dismantled by the tide of the times, given that the Uchiha clan successfully rebelled and Konoha had no way to start.

To take a more conspiratorial approach, it's quite possible that even the merger of the ninja clans was orchestrated by Tobirama Senju, with the aim of dismantling ninja villages that could, to some extent, outwardly comply with the orders of the Ninja Alliance while inwardly resisting them.

However, this is somewhat cruel for the ninja village and the Kage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the number one, was completely overwhelmed by the constant emotional appeals and requests for help from the people from Konoha Village, the number two. He genuinely didn't know how to intervene or how to help, and in the end, he used Kushina's arrival to cause trouble and ran away.

Life is sometimes just this helpless.
