He was in Konoha, and his domineering aura was overflowing.

Hand over all the votes.

Chapter 24 Two Small Fish

Isogen had no aversion to helping the police department.

The arrogant Uchiha clan is truly wealthy.

Konoha does have resources to support the geniuses, but as a military base responsible for everyone, it's still slightly less capable than a wealthy family that has accumulated wealth for thousands of years to support a single individual.

The existence of medicinal baths truly makes money flow like water.

Fortunately, it wasn't just Uchiha's side business; there were also occasional financial injections from the Hyuga clan.

However, this increases personal expenses, inevitably reducing the support for the orphanage.

The thought of the orphanage cast a shadow over Fifty Strings' eyes.

Yakushi Nonou has not returned to this day.

With the intensity of war decreasing in this day and age, Pharmacist Nonou's life safety should not be a concern given her abilities.

But this is a ninja world fraught with danger.

Ninjas can do all sorts of incredible things, yet they can be killed by a kunai or a disease.

In the future, even the heroes of Sunagakure Village could be traded away as bargaining chips. One of them committed suicide after being stabbed in the back with thirty-three shuriken. Who knows if Danzo Shimura might have a brain fart and let Dean Nonou risk her life?

As he thought about this, Fifty Strings' gaze gradually became empty and dangerous, and the flow of chakra within his body accelerated.

Uchiha Fugaku was startled and quickly asked, "Isogen-kun?"

'Hmm? Captain Fugaku, is there anything else?'

"Once the spy is caught, the handover will be with the village. The police department has no missions for the time being. Want to go for a drink?"

“…Hmm?” Isogen tilted his head slightly.

Hinata Mizuki's eyes widened.

"Although I am not interested in the three forbidden ninjas, but..."

Isogen raised his hand and clenched his fist in front of his eyes; it was small.

As long as the shop owner isn't blind, he should be able to tell that you're a minor. Are you, Uchiha Fugaku, planning to fish for law enforcement?

Fugaku Uchiha realized he had said something foolish and coughed lightly: "Hmm? The criminal refuses to confess? I'll handle it!"

They ran away.

Scene transition.

The Akimichi family's barbecue restaurant.

The mountain of Thunder Country beef glistened enticingly under the bright lights, and with a sizzle on the hot plate, the aroma of the oil soaking into the grill was irresistible.

Adhering to the principle that money is for spending, Wu Shixian spends a little money every time he earns a small amount.

The main reason is that he is in the process of growing, and he needs to get enough nutrition and meat. Therefore, high-quality beef from the Land of Lightning became his first choice.

The thought of Nono Yakushi being busy somewhere made him lose his mood.

When it was time to pay, the chubby owner of the Akimichi clan looked at the plates on the table with curiosity: "No appetite today? You ate so little, so I'll give you an extra 10% off this time."

Wu Xian casually waved his hand.

As a regular visitor, his treatment was far superior to that of the Konoha resident who only came occasionally.

Especially because of the first Ninja Academy Battle, the adults in these large families treated him better every day.

Upon hearing about the discount, the diners at the table who had finished eating immediately became dissatisfied: "Why do those two kids get a discount?"

Snapped!

A slap landed.

Wu Shixian said in a lazy tone, "Boss, give him a higher rate."

The shop manager nodded with a smile, then turned to the bewildered troublemaker and said...

"Don't even mention me, he can get discounts on everything on this whole street. What makes you think you can compare to him? Or are you even more handsome than him?"

After looking the store up and down, the manager slowly shook his head: "It's an eyesore."

"Pfft! I want to file a complaint!"

The store manager scoffed, "The police department often comes to my store for barbecue, and you're complaining about me?"

Troublemakers.

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

After dealing with the Five Internal Organs Temple, Yuuka Yuuka and Hinata Mizuki didn't return to the hospital, but went straight to the Ninja Academy.

The moment they stepped through the gates of the ninja academy, a cacophony of arguments and commotion erupted.

"Heh, just a bunch of weaklings who think they can challenge the strong just by banding together?"

"Hmph, Uchiha Sanka, don't be so arrogant. If you're so capable, call all those people behind you away!"

"Tch, your little tricks are utterly useless under the watchful eyes of these eyes!"

On the playground, the two groups faced each other clearly, and the tense atmosphere was amplified by the wind and sand. Several teachers stood on the edge to observe the situation.

This is the scene that Isogen saw when he and Hinata Mizuki climbed the stairs and stood at the top.

"How long have they been doing this?"

Isogen approached Kobayashi Miyu, whose eyes were fixed on her, and asked.

Kobayashi Miyu has developed a condition where she gets a headache whenever she sees the song "Fifty Strings," and she always looks melancholy.

"How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened."

The fifty strings never hide their influence; anyone who has paid attention knows that it is the result of his efforts.

This directly plunged the Ninja Academy into an era of confrontation.

Parents are delighted to see their previously lazy children become so energetic; fighting at the ninja academy is better than being killed on a mission in the future. Students who have been bullied or coerced for years are willing to confront their past grievances and improve their skills in the process.

So who suffered?

Kobayashi Miyu, with her melancholy expression like a resentful woman confined to her chambers, is so hard to guess.

Those who preach the truth are also the bearers of the will of hegemony.

[Obtained...]

Kobayashi's sponsorship for this month has arrived, but unfortunately, due to the difference in Yin and Yang attributes, this homeroom teacher couldn't even provide a single-digit amount. She's really not making any progress. And she still dares to complain about the Ninja Academy's salary.

Look for the reasons within yourself. Have you killed many people over the years? Have your skills improved? Why don't you practice your swindling and cheating techniques?

For Ishigaki, the ways in which the Will of Conqueror spread are so varied that they seem to have been specifically designed for him.

Whether it's verbal dominance, physical dominance, or indirect dominance, they are all forms of the will of dominance.

He was kind-hearted towards Xiaolin Weiyu, his homeroom teacher, and couldn't bear to see him suffer, so he chose to double his workload.

Fortunately, he highly values ​​fairness. Not only Kobayashi Miyu, but every teacher at the Ninja Academy who is capable has seen their workload gradually increase over the past year, which makes them very happy.

After surveying his territory like a lion, Fifty Strings created a shadow clone that stirred the crowd. His last glance before leaving caught the two groups colliding, and he was quite pleased.

In this way, although many of you are no longer able to sponsor me due to the difference in ability, as long as this trend continues, I can still gather a few people as a safety net.

After sending Hinata Mizuki home, Isogen returned home to prepare a medicinal bath for himself.

He carefully selected precious medicinal herbs from a Nara pharmacy and placed them in order according to their medicinal properties. After everything was finished, he took off his clothes, and the medicinal liquid gradually soaked into his fair skin.

The powerful yang energy works tirelessly to fully absorb the essence contained in the medicine.

Soon, the liquid, which could be used several times by an ordinary person, became visibly clearer.

Suddenly, the Igogen nerve twitched, and the will of the overlord began to pulsate, its intensity being roughly... that of a special Jonin?

He got up, his skin glowing pink after being soaked in warm water, and a white towel was draped over his body. In a flash, Wuxian disappeared from the bathroom.

Two seconds later, two figures appeared in the bathroom as if in a flash, and were clearly taken aback when they saw the empty bathroom.

"What about people?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a foot covered in water stepped on his shoulder, and he could even smell the fragrance of soaking herbs.

"Two small fry dare to come in? Let the people behind you come!"

In the lingering mist of the bathroom, a dangerous glint appeared in Isogen's eyes.

He's very angry right now.

Chapter 25 Sakumo Hatake

In a split second, the two Root ninjas reacted swiftly, their large hands grabbing at the fair and slender ankle.

call out!

Isogen's figure disappeared again, and reappeared with two feet on the two people's outstretched arms, then kicked them in the chins one after the other.

Two muffled thuds followed as the Root ninja's figure vanished from the bathroom and flew out the window. Isogen leisurely followed the trail and drifted out, his voice lingering in the night sky.

"So, you two ninjas who are orphans, unloved, and like to break into little boys' bathrooms at night, are you alright?"

Isogen's eyes curved slightly as he watched the two struggling to rise from the ruins.

"This looks bad. Should we call the police?"

The two Root ninjas got up, looked at each other, and their vision was blurred.

But they could both understand each other.

This is a tricky idea!

The situation was unexpected. This kid's strength was nothing like that of a ninja academy student who had not yet graduated. He kicked them so hard that they were dizzy. His speed and reaction speed far exceeded expectations.

After a brief respite, the two resumed their combined attack. Wu Zixuan slipped under his feet, his movements graceful.

"You two little poodles, who aren't even good guard dogs, hurry up, hurry up, and the big dog behind you might look at you with more respect."

Wu Zixian's words were light and carried a strange smile, which annoyed the two of them.

His act of comparing that adult to a dog in particular infuriated them.

'Damn it, how dare they insult that lord! Fire Release: Flame Bullet!'

'Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!'

Realizing that a quick victory was impossible without using ninjutsu, the two decisively formed hand seals. Furthermore, since Igarashi dared to insult the sun in their hearts, their hand seal speed became even faster.

Wind and fire combine, and scorching heat approaches.

Isogen remained unmoved. Under the shocked gazes of the two at the root, the fireball, amplified by the gale, pierced straight through Isogen's body and slammed heavily into the building behind him, sending flames soaring into the sky and creating a deafening roar.

The part that should have been hit had a strange hole, but a flash of white light appeared in an instant, and the body was restored to its original state.

'The art of water transformation?!'

This scene made them pause, subconsciously thinking of the infamous Hozuki clan's water transformation technique in Kirikaku Village.

Before they could speak, they exchanged a glance and reached a consensus.

retreat!

The opponent possesses a secret technique similar to the Water Transformation Technique, or even a bloodline limit. In the wild, we could gradually discover their weaknesses, but with such a commotion in Konoha, the police department and the Anbu will certainly not stand idly by.

The worst part is that their current strength is that of a Special Jonin, which is somewhat similar to that of a Chunin. One of them is skilled in swordsmanship and the other in genjutsu.
