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

The space-time ninjutsu he used was a simple alternative summoning technique that involved spreading his spirit along the Yin Release path to mark the target.

The reason it's considered unconventional is that this technique doesn't require signing a contract like traditional summoning techniques. As long as the Yin Release reaches a certain location, anyone he can mark and summon with enough chakra can be pulled over.

Abbreviation: 'Give it to me'.

This fell far short of his expectations.

What he wants is real time and space.

Take a sheet of paper as an example. A sheet of paper can be torn into several pieces. A complete sheet of paper is a world, and these divided pieces are space.

Time, on the other hand, folds these papers back together, as if they had never existed.

The two combined form spacetime.

Time and space jump to a completely new sheet of paper.

To play with time, to shift space, to traverse the world.

This is the effect he wanted.

It's a spacetime power even more overpowered than the parallel spacetime travel caused by the dragon vein.

Reaching this level requires even greater power, and acquiring even greater power requires even more diligent practice of the will to spread and promote hegemony.

and so!

With a determined look in his eyes, Ishigaki stood up and strode away!

Chapter 94 River Crab Passing By

boom!

The door to the Hokage's office slammed heavily against the wall.

The two guards didn't even turn their heads.

"I want to graduate!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, gazing at the gate that seemed to be lamenting to the heavens. After a few seconds of silence, he tentatively spoke.

"Is it possible that graduation is arranged by the central government, or that graduating early requires submitting an application to the Ninja Academy first?"

"To whom should the application be submitted?"

"head teacher."

"To whom did the homeroom teacher hand it?"

"...Hokage."

Snapped!

"So is there a problem with me asking the Hokage for my graduation certificate directly?"

"No...right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's complexion was much rosier than his original self, but he was currently frowning and looking hesitant.

Something feels off.

"Ahem, Yu Ge, why did you suddenly decide to graduate?"

"Just do it if you think of it, is there a problem?"

"No." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, then asked, "Have you decided where you'll go after graduation?"

Konoha Hospital and the Police Department.

These are the two departments that Ishizaki has worked in so far.

He leaned more towards the former, since there was no guarantee that Isogen wouldn't be influenced by the Uchiha's ideology...

At that moment, the situation of the Uchiha clan in the police department over the past two years came to mind, and he hesitated.

It seems, perhaps, maybe, the ones truly affected are the Uchiha.

"Go home and sponge off my parents," Wu Zixian said confidently.

“Yu Ge, it’s not good to just sit around and live off our savings.”

"If you don't have money, why not just ask the nobles for some? Besides, they're really nice; they gave me a lot of portions." Igogami gave a thumbs up, praising the nobles who weren't in Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eye twitched, and the little monkey inside him screamed wildly.

Danzo and Gojūgen were once sworn enemies, but they reached a consensus on several issues and even praised each other.

'Who invented this "noble" thing? It spits out money the moment you hit it.'

'Hiruzen! If those nobles can give so much money to that inherently evil brat, they definitely have money to give to Konoha!'

For no apparent reason, the scene that had happened before came to mind, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind went blank.

First of all, what you're doing with the fifty strings is definitely wrong; secondly, Danzo, don't think I don't know you're trying to take this opportunity to make some money off the root clan.

There's no door!

The root structure can exist, but it will never be as large as it once was!

Only the Hokage can wield authority over the Anbu!

On this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi was very resolute.

Previously, there was no other way; his position as Hokage was unstable, and he needed Danzo's help. He also knew that he was prone to being soft-hearted towards acquaintances, and Danzo complemented him.

With the Hokage position secured and the war over, Konoha began to prosper again, and the presence of Root became somewhat of a hindrance to the villagers.

When she's in love, she's sweet; when she's no longer in love, she's like an old hag.

The most crucial and important point.

He felt bad for letting the roots continue to exist!

Everyone in Konoha knew that Isogen was chasing Danzo's hammer, and the Root organization was also included as a key target.

The Root ninjas were all elites from various ninja clans. At its peak, the number of Root ninjas never exceeded three digits, which was insignificant compared to the vast number of ninjas in Konoha.

If they died in the line of duty, he would mourn, grieve, and lament that the village had lost another outstanding talent.

But it would have been unnecessary for him to die from Isogen's indiscriminate attack on Danzo.

There's also the attitude of the ninja clan. The ninja clan has always been dissatisfied with Danzo's practice of drawing outstanding talents from their clans. If you're going to draw them, fine, but what's with the brainwashing?

In other words, it was due to a combination of insufficient strength, the greater good of the village, and his own status as Hokage; otherwise, the ninja clan would have already freed their people.

His disregard for Isogen's actions was not only due to his own talent and strength, but also because of the support of the elder, Mito Uzumaki.

The emotions of the ninja clan, Danzo's seat, and the power of the Anbu that belongs only to the Hokage.

When these factors are combined, the current situation is formed.

As for the darkness that Danzo carried, belonging to the Hokage, how should it be divided?

'The Darkness of Naruto'

The name itself signifies the darkness that a Kage should bear. All Kage from the major ninja villages are no exception, and there is no reason for them to change when they come to Konoha.

To put it bluntly, the reason this part of darkness was in Danzo's hands was twofold: firstly, Danzo was indeed useful, as he was highly capable of getting things done in the shadows; secondly, he had developed a political fastidiousness from being in the sunlight for so long; and most importantly, their friendship supported him in doing so.

But who could have imagined that a fifty-stringed singer would suddenly appear out of nowhere? Not only was he incredibly strong at such a young age, but he was also targeting Danzo. If Danzo continued to do this, Danzo was afraid that the old man would step on a landmine the moment he stepped out of the village.

Let's get back to the main topic.

He needs to give Fifty Strings' graduation application a serious consideration.

"Who should be sent to conduct the test?"

Images of Konoha's formidable Jonin appeared one after another before my eyes, only to be shattered.

"This won't work; close combat with Yu Ge could easily lead to problems."

“This Akimichi family member is not quick enough.”

"Uchiha, tsk, this one is even worse."

Everyone knows that with his lavish spending, exceptional skills, and good looks, the police department already had a very high opinion of him.

"Hinata..."

This is even worse.

Having been thoroughly humiliated before, and given Hinata's prideful nature, what if something unexpected happens along the way?

He thought of the 50-string 'Oyako Donburi'.

He had specifically instructed the fifty-stringed instrument on this special technique, but judging from its appearance, it was clearly going in one ear and out the other.

No, he most likely didn't even get it into his left ear.

"Sarutobi..."

As the target shifted to his own territory, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression gradually became strange.

“Deer Man and that kid.”

To this day, he still can't understand why Sarutobi Shikatoka was so fanatical about the Igogen.

They also tirelessly promoted it to others.

Fortunately, he did not forget to train himself during this process. Whenever he had time, Wuxian would often give them lessons. He was quite skilled in Yin-Yang Escape and could even talk about some of the secret arts of various races.

The most representative example is that black coffin.

When Nara saw it, his jaw dropped.

I once wondered if my ancestors had been hiding something when they passed down their skills.

Otherwise, there's no reason why a newly developed 50-string keyboard could be so powerful, while their long-standing research and development progress is so slow!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he thought of a powerful individual with the Will of Fire who was strong enough and had a good relationship with Isogen.

"Shall I be Gouge-kun's examiner?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a kind expression and nodded slightly: "It's called an assessment, but we all know that Yu Ge is already an excellent ninja. This time, we're mainly testing how far he can go."

Sakumo Hatake frowned: "Hokage-sama, I don't think I'm the best candidate. Igogami and I are not a good match."

As a teammate, Isogen is reassuring but also troublesome; as an enemy, one can only hope to be swiftly and decisively blown up by him, otherwise those scarecrows in Kusagakure Village will suffer the same fate.

"I believe in you, Sakumo. No one is more suitable than you," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with encouraging eyes and unwavering conviction.

"..."

I don't believe in myself.

Sakumo Hatake's lips twitched; he knew he couldn't refuse this time.

Considering that Isogen's fighting style was completely like that of a suicide infantryman, he could only hope that he would show mercy out of consideration for their shared camaraderie.

He is confident of winning.

The White Fang of Konoha, who roamed the ninja world, had an unwavering will.

But winning completely is a bit difficult.

No!

He thought that Fifty Strings' medical skills were superb, enough to disinfect while performing the treatment.

There's a sealed threat. (';︵;`)
