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

Whether it was her strange smile in peacetime or the sharpness of her words, she took it to heart.

"Ahem, go and fetch Director Kimura of Konoha Hospital, and also find the relevant personnel involved in this matter."

call out.

A member of the secret service team shot through the air and disappeared.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Yoka Igogen, who had a smile on his lips, and coughed lightly.

"Yu Ge, you've worked hard all night. Leave the rest of the interrogation to me. I'll make room for you in the next room for now."

Yuka smiled and nodded, then lightly jumped off the chair. He accidentally stepped on the exposed scarlet tendon of the ninja at the base of the fox mask. The ninja let out a muffled groan and then fell silent.

He's a real man!

Sakumo Hatake stood with his arms crossed, his gaze steady.

Based on his experience and insight, this guy should be unconscious from the pain by now.

Wuxian hummed a tune unknown to the three sober people in the office, and left with light steps, skipping every two steps.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt frustrated, even the good mood he had when receiving the daimyo's donation was ruined.

When I'm feeling down, I crave a cigarette.

"..."

Hatake Sakumo shook his head.

He was a very traditional ninja.

"Sigh, let's discuss this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head helplessly.

The room next door feels like home.

He climbed out the window and gazed at the Chibaku Tensei on the horizon. It was as if I, Gyūgen, was looking across time and space at that pure-hearted ancestor of chakra in the ninja world.

Ah, I still really want to kill someone.

Should we go find that big dog's den now?

That doesn't seem likely; those kinds of places are definitely well hidden.

Then how about...

Look down.

A small gap was slightly pulled open in the bath towel, revealing the budding specialty of the ninja world.

Detonation tag.

Multiplying detonators.

The forbidden technique he chose from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The distribution of forbidden techniques is extremely strict, and only heroes who have made great contributions can obtain them.

However, the strength of a ninja village is largely based on ninjutsu, and any ninja village would gladly agree to a ninjutsu-for-ninjutsu exchange.

Hiruzen Sarutobi initially wanted to give him the reputation of the Will of Fire, but unfortunately, he had learned a skill in his previous life of letting things go in one ear and out the other.

His improved Palm Healing Technique met the standards of a forbidden technique and was indeed very powerful. At the prime of his life, Hiruzen Sarutobi would not hesitate to invest in a genius.

Furthermore, the Multiply Explosive Talisman holds a similar position in the Book of Seals as the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

There's also a reason why he chose the Multiplicative Explosive Talisman instead of forbidden techniques like Evil Earth Reincarnation, which violate human ethics. After all, aside from the negative buffs that all forbidden techniques have, the Multiplicative Explosive Talisman has the limitation of consuming a huge number of explosive talismans, making it unusable only for the wealthy.

However, this is the same principle as saying that the problem with good things being expensive is not the product itself, but the people involved.

Over the past year, he's also amassed quite a few explosive tags from various places. Otherwise... he could blow up the one-eyed dragon?

Isogen licked his pink lips, eager to try.

PS: Ahem, dear readers, I've been studying in China since I was little, so I don't have a deep understanding of the Japanese environment. I've grown up peacefully and there are many areas of this industry that I don't know much about.

At this point, we would like to ask you all to be generous with your donations. If you have any fun ideas, please write them in the comments section.

For example, Danzo's lewd behavior towards the Inuzuka family's ninja dogs was accidentally broadcast to the entire village, resulting in his public death in front of everyone.

In addition, it's the same old story.

As this is the start of my new book, I would appreciate your support in supporting my small business.

Yours sincerely.

Chapter 27 Mental Illness

Danzo knew he had been caught the moment he saw the Anbu.

He remained completely calm.

If given the chance, he would even dare to assassinate the Hokage.

"Danzo! You've gone too far this time!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious when he saw Shimura Danzo not taking things seriously.

Hatake Sakumo was sent away beforehand, leaving only the two of them facing off in the huge Hokage's office.

Danzo Shimura ignored Hiruzen Sarutobi's rage.

This isn't the first time; nobody is a novice.

He is more concerned about how his own people fail.

A special jonin skilled in genjutsu and another skilled in combat, working together, couldn't defeat a brat who had been wasting his time at Konoha Hospital.

He wasn't always paying attention to Yuge Wuxian; in his eyes, he was just a commoner with some talent. If Ri Zhan hadn't been so forceful back then, he would probably be at his root by now.

However, as time went by, the roots also suffered heavy losses in confrontations with various countries, and there was an urgent need to replenish manpower.

Since Yuge of the Fifty Strings is a gifted individual, he should contribute his own strength to Konoha, especially since the investigation data shows that his parents were heroes who sacrificed themselves for Konoha.

Since his parents were heroes, he should naturally inherit their qualities and contribute to the glory of Konoha.

On his way there, he received the specific details of what had happened.

“Hizen, hand him over to me. The Root is where he belongs.”

"Heh, impossible!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's resolute refusal was like a nail being cleaved in two.

It's not easy for ordinary people to produce geniuses. It seems like every year there's a constant stream of geniuses, but those are just minor geniuses, the level that most people can reach through hard work and sweat.

Without future opportunities, they will likely stop at Chunin, and most will even die at the Genin level.

Having finally produced such promising talents as Minato Namikaze and Yuka Igarashi, he would never allow Danzo to completely destroy the Dark Symbol.

"Hmph, Hiruzen, you'll regret this!" Danzo was annoyed by Hiruzen Sarutobi's stubbornness.

Hiruzen Sarutobi refused to budge an inch: "Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Watching Hiruzen Sarutobi openly proclaim himself Hokage under the lights, Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth.

If I hadn't been a step too slow back then...

boom.

The door slammed against the wall again.

The scene in the Hokage's office made Kimura Minami, whose hair was still as beautiful as ever, jump.

Oh no, I should have knocked.

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness, then asked, "Kimura, is this about Yu Ge?"

As he spoke, he gave Danzo Shimura a look.

"I'm taking the person with me."

Danzo snorted coldly and strode towards the gate.

The lives of the two henchmen were temporarily saved by Kimura Minamino's medical ninjutsu.

But even if you become like that, you'll still be a useless person.

Fortunately, the Root ninjas are all talented. If they're useless, so be it. Let's have them clean up the trash and turn it into treasure.

As soon as he stepped outside, his single eye caught sight of a white figure moving down automatically.

"Has the big dog of the miscellaneous little fish arrived?" Isogen asked, his eyebrows curving upwards and his smile bright.

Danzo Shimura's brow twitched.

"Cough cough."

A warning cough rang out at just the right moment.

Danzo Shimura had no choice but to suppress his anger and snorted coldly, "You evil brat."

"Goodbye, you one-eyed uncle who was born evil."

A polite greeting was given at the age of fifty.

Danzo Shimura slightly opened his exposed eyes. Those words sounded so familiar…

"Danzo, report back after you've finished handling the follow-up work. Also, the daimyo's allocation hasn't arrived yet, so the funds for each department need to be put on hold for a while."

Danzo Shimura's anger suddenly shifted.

That inherently evil old devil Sarutobi is threatening me with money!

After pausing for a moment, he snorted coldly again and left in a huff.

Even when I'm rich, I won't take you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, with me!

As Ishigaki watched his departing figure, the dangerous glint in his eyes grew ever brighter, and the explosive tags under the towel seemed to be telling him of their eager anticipation.

“Yuka.” Sarutobi Hizen Jiwa’s gaze fell on Yuka Igogaku, his tone one of satisfaction.

"This time you helped the village uncover two deeply hidden spies. Although it wasn't a mission issued by the village, we won't forget your contribution. I'll record this mission as an A-level mission for you."

While in Konoha, before graduating from the Ninja Academy, he has already completed an A-rank mission.

The remaining songs of the fifty strings of a zither leave my heart undisturbed.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi were to slap the mission reward into his hand at this time, he would at least give some response.

"By the way, hasn't the orphanage's head pharmacist returned yet?"

The fiftieth string swayed slightly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said kindly, "I think I've heard news about that headmaster recently; he might be back soon."

Fifty-string tilted his head slightly.

Ok?

What's wrong?

Sarutobi Hiruzen's sudden remark caught him off guard and left him momentarily speechless.

As the Kage of a village, how could he be willing to let the 'wandering shrine maiden' return? Don't ninja villages usually just use any ninja who can brainwash or control the village's will until they die?

I don't understand.

Isogen left with doubts.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's kind expression gradually disappeared, and he looked at Minamino Kimura with a very serious expression.

"How is the situation?"

Kimura Minamino took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Hokage, if it's just this year's observation, it won't prove anything. After all, there are many ninjas with strange personalities. But combined with Yu Ge's sudden change this night, I can basically conclude that even if he doesn't have any mental problems, he has some kind of psychological disorder."

"Where do you think the temptation comes from?"

Kimura Minamino said decisively, "Wu Shigen's parents sacrificed themselves when he was very young, which may be one aspect. Another aspect is that the director of the orphanage spent the most time with him, even longer than his parents. However, that director went away a year ago."
