Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 211 Two Years Later, Changes in the Ninja World

Time flies like an arrow; two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The controversy surrounding Infinite Tsukuyomi and Izayoi becoming the strongest ninja in the 66th year of Konoha's reign has long since passed.

The ninja world has undergone very significant changes in the past two years.

Firstly, there's the difference in social atmosphere between countries, which is very evident.

In the past, when traveling outside, the Hidden Cloud Village, which advocated martial arts, exuded an aura of confidence because their village was the strongest ninja village in the ninja world in terms of overall strength.

More than a decade ago, even Konoha had to endure humiliation and dared not provoke them.

But now, the spirit of the Hidden Cloud Village is gone.

Especially when facing Konoha ninjas, the former fighters turned into cowards.

There was no other way; they were all afraid of leaving any evidence that would invite the savior's revenge.

Because the Hidden Cloud Village is currently far too weak.

Killer Bee and Yugito Nii had their tailed beasts extracted, and later, along with the Fourth Raikage, Darui, and other elites like Shiki, their chakra was taken away, and they lost their ninja qualifications.

The Hidden Cloud Village, once the strongest in terms of overall strength, now can't find a single ace fighter.

Without the qualifications of a ninja, the Fourth Raikage was naturally unable to serve as Raikage.

Darui, who was originally considered the most promising candidate, also lost his qualification to become the Fifth Raikage.

However, a great ninja village cannot be without the Five Kage, so the first female Raikage was born in the Hidden Cloud Village, who was Killer Bee's disciple... Samui!

Indeed, Samui has become the strongest in Kumogakure.

Even the Fourth Raikage and his men were very relieved that Samui had escaped unscathed and that his chakra had not been taken away.

Otherwise, even if Izayoi doesn't pursue the matter, the newly appointed Raikage might still target them to appease Izayoi in order to protect the village.

Samui and Killer Bee share a master-disciple relationship, and as long as Izayoi doesn't make a move, she will absolutely not attack the Fourth Raikage or her teacher.

This is true.

Samui's first act upon taking office was to travel to Konoha to apologize to Izayoi.

As for how he apologized, no one knows.

All outsiders know is that after Samui returned to the village, he issued an order to the Raikage: if they encounter Konoha ninjas during a mission, they must abandon the mission unconditionally and will not be punished upon returning to the village.

If the Hidden Cloud Village, whose high-end combat strength was once second only to Konoha and whose overall strength even surpassed Konoha, has made such a statement, then other major ninja villages need not be mentioned.

Realizing that Izayoi was now the sole ruler of the ninja world, Onoki secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Izayoi had no intention of overthrowing the one-country-one-village system.

Knowing that the ninja world would not be able to fight for decades to come, he finally chose to retire and pass on the position of Tsuchikage to his granddaughter... Kurotsuchi.

Kurotsuchi, who succeeded as the Fourth Tsuchikage, went to Konoha's pier immediately after the succession ceremony.

Samui has already done this; if she hadn't, she might have been targeted by Izayoi.

After all, Onoki had told her more than once that Izayoi was not the First Hokage and that he did not have the benevolence of the ninja world.

The reason they haven't overthrown the existing system is probably because they're too lazy to bother with these insignificant ants.

They didn't even recount the details of the final battle, simply because they were too lazy to do so and didn't care about their feelings.

This is a divine contempt that is even more arrogant than that of Otsutsuki Toneri.

Even if the entire ninja world united, they would still be no match for Madara Uchiha, who could easily control the entire ninja world.

However, even Madara Uchiha, and Toneri Otsutsuki, who also lived on the moon and looked down on the ninja world, were no match for him.

However, people do change, and there are very obvious changes at each stage of life.

Izayoi is not yet an adult, and with his boundless energy, he is probably focused on training and only thinking about improving his strength.

Once he's past his prime and can no longer improve, and is so invincible that he has no rivals, he might start to crave power.

That will be the time when all the major ninja villages suffer.

This situation will become even more serious when his strength begins to decline.

If this ninja god sets his sights on you, or holds a grudge against you, the village could be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Just thinking about that scene sent chills down Kurotsuchi's spine, and she also understood the feelings of the first five Kage.

It's truly despairing to face something like that.

After paying his respects to the local officials, Heitu returned to the village and issued the same order as Samyi.

Seeing that Samui and Black Potato, who had just succeeded to the position of Five Kage, had done this, Mei Terumi and Gaara naturally did not dare to be different. They rushed to Konoha to pay homage to Izayoi and returned to the village to issue the same order.

Like them, Nagato also had his chakra not recovered.

Nagato took the initiative to visit Izayoi and chatted with her for a long time.

Upon returning, he announced the disbandment of the Akatsuki organization.

The Akatsuki members were also marked with cursed seals by Izayoi, who also issued orders for all the major ninja villages to remove their wanted status and household registration, making these rogue ninjas a complete part of Amegakure.

Seeing Izayoi bypass the Daimyo and issue orders to the other five Kage, the Konoha ninjas truly understood how exhilarating it felt to have a ninja god backing them up.

Moreover, unlike the First Hokage who cared about the entire ninja world, Izayoi only managed Konoha.

Those who understood Izayoi's temperament and personality flocked to her door with money, causing tremendous changes in Konoha over the past two years.

First, the area has increased. The high walls surrounding the village have been demolished, and the village has been transformed into a city, even expanding to the vicinity of the Nanhe River.

Uchiha Sasuke not only reclaimed the land deeds of his original clan's land in the central street, but also simultaneously possessed the land deeds of the clan's land across the Naka River. Without doing anything, he became one of the wealthiest people in the ninja world.

In this life, Sasuke Uchiha, aside from being less powerful than in the original story, has undoubtedly become a winner in life.

He is the head of the secret service, second only to the emperor, and is also extremely wealthy, handsome, and powerful.

His popularity in Konoha and the ninja world is second only to Izayoi; he is a male god in the eyes of countless girls.

Unfortunately, this heartthrob has no intention of finding a girlfriend.

Ino Yamanaka, unable to catch up with Sasuke Uchiha, gave up more than a year ago.

Only Sakura Haruno persisted in pursuing Sasuke Uchiha after being rejected time and time again.

Seeing that Sakura Haruno only had eyes for Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, who was full of affection for her, also chose to give up after his confession was rejected.

This prophetic child, who was supposed to save the world in the original timeline, was stripped of his aura due to the death of the Sage of Six Paths. Having lost the Nine-Tails and not awakening the Wood Release bloodline limit, he completely inherited Jiraiya's mantle and became 'Naruto the Sage'.

To compensate Naruto, Izayoi once again chose to sacrifice Danzo's reputation and revealed Naruto's true identity.

Upon learning that Naruto Uzumaki was the son of the Fourth Hokage and a hero who became a vessel for a tailed beast at birth, the Third Hokage chose to conceal his true identity and silently care for him in order to protect this son of the Hokage.

However, Danzo Shimura took advantage of the Third Hokage's concealment to smear Naruto Uzumaki as the incarnation of the Nine-Tailed Fox, a cursed child who brought disaster.

Those who had spoken ill of Naruto Uzumaki instantly felt immense guilt.

Naruto Uzumaki's popularity in Konoha skyrocketed, becoming second only to Sasuke Uchiha.

It took Naruto a long time to adjust after suddenly receiving the recognition he had been dreaming of.

With the comfort of Jiraiya and Iruka Umino, Naruto, the Sage of Mount Myōboku, finally gave up his dream of becoming Hokage and chose to inherit the mantle of one of the most important teachers in his life, which was to become a... great teacher!

Thus began the journey of a complete failure that once left Umino Iruka with no words to read and who could even mispronounce chakra after graduation.

He never imagined that his worst student would undergo such a dramatic change.

Naruto, even though you didn't become Hokage, your teacher is still very proud of you!

Apart from Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, the other Konoha 1s, after becoming Chunin and Jonin, also ended their monotonous mission careers and began to train in various departments.

Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino joined the Intelligence Department and the Torture Department, becoming apprentices of Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi, and will surely become the leaders of these departments in the future.

After all, no one in Konoha is more suitable to be the head of this department than their intellect and secret techniques.

Choji Akimichi and Kiba Inuzuka followed in their father's footsteps, taking charge of providing the village with pills and ninja beasts.

Tenten is the same; she specializes in selling ninja tools from home.

After Shino Aburame realized that he felt increasingly invisible after becoming an ANBU member, he took the initiative to resign from his post and chose to become a great teacher like Naruto Uzumaki.

Sakura Haruno, on the other hand, has finished her internship at Konoha Hospital and is now a qualified nurse.

With her talent for chakra control, even without becoming Tsunade's apprentice, she would have become an excellent doctor in the future.

Like Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee chose to become a Jonin instructor.

Neji Hyuga, who neither participated in the Fourth Shinobi World War nor died, has resolved his inner conflicts.

Because Hiashi Hyuga had already told him the truth and, just like in the original story, knelt down and apologized to his nephew.

To compensate Hyuga Neji, Izayoi used Yin-Yang Release to release his Caged Bird.

At the same time, he released all the members of the branch family from their caged bird state and, bypassing the clan head Hiashi Hyuga, abolished the system of the main family and branch families.

No one in the main family dared to express any dissatisfaction with Izayoi's domineering behavior.

Just like their predecessors when the First Hokage gave the Tailed Beasts to other ninja villages, they didn't care at all.

The Hokage and the savior of the ninja world are their future sons-in-law. The Hyuga clan has become the number one powerful clan in the ninja world, and no one dares to mess with their Byakugan.

Whether they've separated or are still in cages is no longer important.

Those who split up the family were deeply grateful to Izayoi and became his loyal followers.

The head family, whose decision to split the family line can be made with a single handprint, simply cannot comprehend the feelings of someone splitting the family line.

Although they are free to move around, those who have carved the image of caged birds on their faces are not free at all.

Izayoi, who granted them freedom, was their savior!

As the children grow up, the new generation is replacing the old one, and this trend is becoming increasingly evident.

A prosperous and peaceful new era is just around the corner.

As the savior of the ninja world and the Sixth Hokage of Konoha, Izayoi has become an incredibly mysterious figure in the past two years.

The Hokage's office has become a legendary office.

A few years is enough time for a person to forget many things and adapt to many things.

The era of diligent governance during the three and five reigns is long gone.

The Hokage Building now has a dedicated task hall and departments to handle various miscellaneous matters.

Only very important matters are reported to the Hokage's secretary, and ultimately it is the Hokage's secretary who issues the Hokage's orders.

Apart from elders like Tsunade and Anbu chief Sasuke Uchiha, even elite Jonin like Kakashi Hatake cannot freely go to the top floor of the Hokage Building. The Anbu members responsible for protecting the Hokage Building can only hide below.

On the top floor of the Hokage Building, there is Izayoi's guard.

Those who don't know much about Izayoi think the Hokage is incredibly mysterious, and that they can't see him even once or twice in two years.

Those who know Izayoi know that this guy is incredibly lazy.

Because of his immense strength and the ability to shield his senses, even if Izayoi appeared in the Hokage's office, no one would know whether he was the real Izayoi or a wood clone.

……

Ring ring ring…

That morning, the shrill sound of the alarm clock rang.

Although it lasted for less than three seconds before stopping, it still woke Izayoi up.

Opening his eyes, Izayoi looked at Hinata, who was already sitting up and putting on her bib, and said sleepily, "Why are you up so early today? If I remember correctly, it's not your shift, is it?"

"Anada, you're awake?"

Hinata turned and glanced at Izayoi, then lowered her head and kissed Izayoi's cheek, saying with a smile, "Sorry for waking you up. I had plans to go on a long trip with Hanabi today."

"Why are you going on such a long trip?" Izayoi asked instinctively.

"Hehe... It's a secret." Hinata put her index finger to her lips and winked playfully at her beautiful eyes.

Izayoi was instantly wide awake. She rolled over and pinned Hinata beneath her, placing her hands on either side of Hinata's head. She gritted her teeth and said, "Looks like I was too gentle last night. Since you're not going to talk, you're not going to be leaving the house today."

After she finished speaking, Hinata's light armor, which she had just put on, was removed.

"No...no!"

Amid the girl's exclamation, the heat generated by the exercise quickly dispelled the morning chill, and the temperature rose rapidly.

However, Izayoi clearly underestimated her physical healing abilities.

Hinata bit Izayoi hard at the last moment, and after resting for a while, she was back to full strength and went out without showing any signs of fatigue.

Fortunately, Izayoi's life level had already been elevated to the level of an alien; otherwise, even he wouldn't have been able to withstand it in the long run.

For the first time, Izayoi felt that physical healing was disgusting and offered no sense of accomplishment whatsoever.

It seems that if I want to punish Hinata in the future, I'll have to come up with some new tricks. I can't let her take the opportunity to use me as a blood bank!
