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

The rest is what they know better.

Isogen moved out of the orphanage, and his behavior began to change a year ago, until tonight when he encountered two ninjas sent by Root.

The image of the two Root ninjas, sculpted into works of art, flashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind. He wanted to smoke and let out a long sigh.

What kind of situation is this?

It's not easy to find two ordinary geniuses, and one of them has encountered this problem.

Mental illness and psychosis are both difficult to deal with. Even if Tsunade came back, he might not be able to handle them. A medical expert is not a psychiatrist.

Unfortunately, the talent for playing the fifty-stringed zither was exceptional.

They defeated and captured two special Jonin in a direct confrontation.

Such a genius must be protected; it is impossible to hand him over to Danzo.

He didn't know this old friend very well.

Give him some sunshine and he can shine brightly for a year, and the afterglow can last for another six months.

If he were given a few pillar-level geniuses, he suspected that this bastard would try to assassinate him within a year.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

"I remember he was close to Kushina and that little girl from the Hyuga clan. Could he be of any use?"

Kimura Minamino pondered for a moment.

"You can give it a try. Psychological problems have a higher chance of being cured if you have someone you know to take care of them, but the chances of a complete cure are slim."

Danzo Shimura, who hadn't gone far, grew angrier the more he thought about it.

"That born evil brat!"

If Yu Ge of Fifty Strings were here, he would be very happy to hear this.

The Uchiha clan is separated from evil by an entire lineage.

Just then, a member of the secret service caught up with him.

"Elder Danzo, the Hokage wants you to notify the orphanage director to return to the village."

After giving his instructions, he slipped away.

“…That wretched monkey!”

Chapter 28 Inspection Successful

"Lord Hokage, Lady Mito has asked me to stand here."

"……Um."

After Shimura Danzo received a warning from Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sarutobi Hiruzen also encountered a great god.

Faced with the ANBU sent by Mito Uzumaki to express his stance, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only tuck his tail between his legs and act like a monkey.

Even disregarding her status as the wife of the First Hokage, Mito Uzumaki, and her identity as the first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, her ability to casually seal the Nine-Tails is enough to keep her in line.

He could easily control even the tailed beasts that symbolized natural disasters, including the Nine-Tails, the most powerful of the tailed beasts. Coupled with his extensive network of connections, whenever Mito Uzumaki publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Hiruzen Sarutobi, the ninjas in the village would have to consider which side to take.

If Danzo had a sudden change of heart at this point and realized his mistake, he could have gone to curry favor with Mito Uzumaki. While it might not have completely shaken Mito's position, it would have at least made his life difficult.

Even the Dark Guard obeys Mito Uzumaki's orders.

But this made things even more difficult for him.

Mito Uzumaki was the pillar of Konoha. During the two Shinobi World Wars, other ninja villages were wary of the threat posed by this first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Meanwhile, Yoka Igogen came into her sights.

If you don't handle things properly, you will inevitably suffer the consequences.

Thinking about it this way made his head spin even more, and his resentment towards Danzo suddenly surged.

He had initially hesitated because of the 'Wandering Shrine Maiden's' intelligence-gathering abilities, but now, given Mito's fate, the answer is obvious.

Well, despite the resentment, old friends are still very important. At most, I'll scold Kaka a bit about the money.

Although the Anbu (secret police) were quick to block information, each ninja clan learned of what happened that night through their own channels.

The residence of the Hyuga clan, specifically Hyuga Arashi.

The Hyuga clan's territory was far from the location of the incident, but he still heard rumors about it.

"Easily defeating two special Jonin, what an enviable talent."

Unless there is a significant difference in strength, it is not a problem for a ninja of the same level to instantly and without taking damage, given that the ninja is caught off guard and has the advantage of surprise attack.

What's even more remarkable is that this is an achievement he made for himself as a commoner. Many ninjas from ninja clans can only rely on time to accumulate experience and their family's inherited skills to become special jonin.

The Hyuga clan is large and powerful, with no shortage of elite Jonin, but many clan members can only manage to become Chunin even after a lifetime of hard work.

He already valued the changes in his granddaughter due to the "Fifty Strings Song," and this incident made him value it even more.

Take down two special Jonin from Root!

What was I doing at my age?

It seems that he grasped the true meaning of life under the loving guidance of his father.

He couldn't find out more details at the moment, only that Sakumo Hatake happened to hear the commotion and rushed over to stop the person outside.

This led him to decide to increase his investment in the fifty strings.

"Grow up quickly."

Only in this way can we withstand the water pressure coming from all directions.

My gaze shifted slightly upwards and landed on a clean and bright photograph.

Of the people in the photo, only he and his granddaughter are still alive.

Just then.

"Third Elder, the Patriarch requests your presence."

I got home, washed up, and went to sleep. The sky was beginning to lighten.

Fifty Strings is in a good mood.

Although he regretted not being able to directly destroy Danzo's lair because he didn't know where the Root base was, he heard from Hiruzen Sarutobi that he planned to bring back Yakushi Nonou, who was hiding outside gathering intelligence.

Regardless of what Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking or why he suddenly had a change of heart, the greatest thing was that the director was able to return safely.

"Hum hum."

The moment the door opened, a bright red cherry tomato hurtled in like a collision between Mars and Earth, its momentum undiminished. It slammed against the wall with a loud thud.

Isogen blinked and remarked, "These cherry tomatoes are so hard."

After expressing her feelings, Hinata Mizuki lowered her head, her face filled with worry, her small hand holding up the cardboard.

Grandpa said you're in trouble. Is there anything I can do to help?

Isogen smiled and patted her hair: "Your presence is the best help you could have."

"Fifty Strings of Song!!"

The sturdy, bright red chili peppers roared fiercely, their loud voices echoing across the sky.

Kushina was sent by Mito Uzumaki to pick up Isogen and take him to the Senju family mansion.

She chattered on and on, with endless things to say, mostly about the fifty strings.

"Why do you seem to be in such a good mood? Did you find some money?" Kushina asked suspiciously, her hands behind her back.

"Is there?"

“Definitely. You’re usually super aloof. You can ask Mizuki if you don’t believe me,” Kushina said confidently, pulling Mizuki into the conversation.

Hinata Mizuki blinked and picked up the cardboard.

Yu Ge is doing well every day.

Kushina rolled her eyes.

"Just spoil him."

She was certain it wasn't her imagination; Isogen was genuinely in a better mood today.

He usually has his good days, but never has he walked down the street with such a wide smile as he does today, attracting so much attention.

That exquisite face, which she privately wondered why it wasn't hers, constantly exuded a special quality called charm.

Damn! You're a guy, and you're this good-looking? Do you want to go to the moon?!

Kushina was resentful.

Suddenly, Wu Xian remembered something.

"Mizuki, send a message saying that a one-eyed pervert who likes to molest young boys was seen in the village last night."

Hinata Mizuki didn't understand what that sentence meant; she only knew that Isogen would be happy if this matter was handled well.

Senju's old house—over the past year, Isogen has frequently come here to listen to Mito Uzumaki's teachings.

The guidance of a sealing master who can easily control the Nine-Tails is something that no amount of money can buy in the outside world.

Upon entering the living room, one sees Mito Uzumaki sitting on the sofa with a scroll in his hand. He glances at the arrival of the three, including Isogen, and turns his head slightly. A soft hum is faintly heard in the living room.

"Grandma," Kushina called out sweetly.

Mito Uzumaki then mumbled a reply: "I'm back."

She now finds everything about the Fifty Strings unpleasant to look at.

As the saying goes, at seventy one can follow one's heart's desires.

She was a veteran of Konoha, and it seemed that she would soon be going to the underworld to meet her old friends. She had become more open-minded about life, but then this oddball, Gojūgen, appeared.

The schedule was so meticulously planned, and with that little traitor Kushina helping to supervise, she had to be extremely careful even if she wanted to read a book at home for a little longer.

Go out and ask around; even Hashirama Senju didn't dare to treat me like this back then!

[Grandma Mito]

Seeing Hinata Mizuki holding the cardboard and behaving cutely and politely, she smiled kindly.

"Hehe, please sit down, Xiao Meiyue."

"Grandma, you're too good to Mizuki. Who's your granddaughter anyway?" Kushina muttered in a complaining tone.

Mito Uzumaki remained silent, merely glancing at her sideways before ignoring her.

Hmph, if you were even half as obedient as my little Meiyue, I wouldn't be in this situation.

Wu Xian easily pulled out a scroll of sealing techniques and started reading it.

I don't take stress.

Seeing this, Mizuto Uzumaki glared at him, but new doubts arose in his heart.

'It's definitely different from usual.'

Thanks to her Uzumaki clan bloodline and her long-term experience of coexisting with the Nine-Tails, Mito Uzumaki's sensory abilities are unparalleled in Konoha.

In her perception, the chakra that Ichigen was exuding was vastly different from the last time.
