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

Chapter 95 Divine Beasts Guard the Field

The news that Isogen was about to graduate spread like wildfire throughout Konoha.

There is no internet in the ninja world for news to spread quickly, but no matter how big Konoha is, its population density is not as high as that of the previous life of Wuxian. If there is any disturbance, the whole village will know about it in less than half a day.

If it's a highly publicized topic, the spread will naturally be faster.

"Are you sure? That person is really graduating!?"

"Absolutely true! This came from the father of the uncle of my brother-in-law's aunt's grandmother's grandson, so the information is reliable!"

"Eek! Hooray! Thank goodness, I finally don't have to put up with that guy who doesn't follow any business rules anymore!"

In Konoha's commercial district, a group of merchants were so excited by the law-abiding behavior that they were speechless. One of them immediately opened a case of expensive sake and patted his chest, declaring that he would pay for today's drinks!

"Are these inhumane days finally coming to an end?" A businessman with graying temples looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, two streams of clear tears slowly flowing down his face.

Several years have passed.

Their carefree days vanished after that ninja academy student named Isogen Yoka joined the police department.

Konoha is recognized throughout the ninja world as the safest, wealthiest, and most civilian-friendly ninja village. Merchants flock here to do business, and in order to earn more profits, all the merchants tacitly raise the prices of their goods.

The prices of goods for locals in Konoha are higher than those for similar items outside the village, and even more exorbitant for tourists. They try to rip off as many as possible, since the outside world is far from peaceful. Tourists often encounter thieves on their way back, and the thieves essentially let the money go to the thieves, allowing them to enjoy the spoils on their behalf.

With everything taken care of, Konoha has always turned a blind eye to their actions.

However, all of this changed after the arrival of Fifty Strings Elegy.

He made 95 out of 100, so don't waste the remaining 5.

It's true that you can make money from the leaves and flowers, but you can't take a single penny home.

In the past, when similar unreasonable things happened, Konoha would step in, or the fierce Uchiha from the police department would come out to suppress them.

However, these methods were all useless against Yuka Fifty Strings, and the police department was just a lackey of the other side, with second-generation members of various ninja clans also present.

Standing before this united group of ninjas wielding extraordinary power, they, who had always held their heads high, deeply understood the suffering of those they had previously suppressed with their authority.

Is it okay to leave Konoha?

sure.

Previously, a large merchant guild, unable to bear the insults, stormed out in anger, implying that Konoha was not the only major ninja village in the ninja world!

And then there was no "then".

The people who evacuated Konoha from that large trading company have disappeared without a trace. Following closely behind is the sudden disappearance of the company's leader and his family at their headquarters in the capital of the Land of Fire. After a frantic rescue effort, not a single gold coin was found in the entire mansion.

It's not even salty anymore!

No one dared to make a sound, and no one dared to act recklessly.

Lessons from the past should guide the future.

To be able to run a business to this extent in the chaotic ninja world, no one is cleaner than anyone else.

The hired ninjas killed more and more frequently than the ordinary people, and they understood the efficiency of ninja killing better than the ordinary people. Therefore, under this direct and clear deterrent, no one dared to mention quitting.

They often lamented, "Is this still Konoha? Is this still the world where they could make a fortune and plunder the wealth of the common people?"

Fortunately, the Sage of Six Paths appeared, and that demon is finally graduating from the Ninja Academy!

Once you become a ninja, you'll be constantly on missions, and there won't be much time to look after them. Gradually, they'll be able to return to their former selves.

Enjoying the good old days again, I raise my glass.

"Celebrating the wonderful life that is about to begin!"

"Cheers!"

boom!

"Police Department! Everyone, raise your hands and stand against the wall!"

"Why did you suddenly decide to graduate?"

"If you think of something, you do it. A sudden attack can catch the Hokage off guard and drain the energy of an old man."

At Konoha Hospital, Kushina, who had already graduated, wore a white coat, her fiery red hair standing out even more against the white background.

Isogen looked at her in this outfit.

Immersed in a vast and complex body of medical knowledge, the renowned Crimson Chili Pepper of the Ninja Academy acquired a rich scholarly air.

Just then, Kushina grabbed a passing nurse.

"I've already taught the patient in room number two a lesson; he shouldn't dare cause trouble again when I change his dressing."

The nurse expressed her gratitude repeatedly after hearing this.

Turning her head to look at Isogen, whose eyes were normal, she sighed: "Now I understand why you treated patients that way when you were in the hospital."

When she recalled how she had actually felt pity for patients when she first entered the hospital, she wished she could go back in time and slap herself.

You deserve to die!

Those unruly people should all suffer fifty times the pain!

Suddenly, she fell silent.

Compared to those troublemakers, this guy in front of me who's draining the old man's energy doesn't seem to be any better!

"So, will you form your own team?" Kushina asked casually.

"Why form a team?" Igarashi asked, puzzled. "If we want to go out, we can just find a place and go. I'm not a ninja, why should I follow the rules?"

"But what if everyone else is a ninja?"

"Rules are inanimate, but people are alive."

Knowing that Isogen was taking his graduation exams, Kimura Minamino and Yukino Kagura came to cheer him on. Upon arriving, they heard this speech that completely disregarded village rules. They paused and exchanged a glance.

I recognized him by his eyes; it was still the same person.

The Hatake family.

Kakashi Hatake, who was already adept at thinking, watched curiously as his father wiped his ninja sword, White Fang.

His bright eyes were filled with curiosity.

Even at a young age, Kakashi was a genius by standard standards in the ninja world.

Although young, her thinking ability has already surpassed that of many people.

He had seen his father clean his ninja sword many times, doing normal maintenance and preparing for battle, but never before had he been so...serious.

"Father, is this mission difficult?" he asked, his words tinged with worry.

Sakumo Hatake paused, the words on the tip of his tongue, then sighed helplessly: "It's not a matter of whether it's difficult or not."

Since it was a graduation exam and not a classified mission, he simply explained it to Kakashi briefly.

"That guy is graduating?" Kakashi asked in surprise.

His impression of Isogen was basically that whenever he caught him, he would take him to play some kind of 'Pokémon battle' game.

He was particularly keen on finding that kid with the watermelon-shaped haircut, even saying that he was his future nemesis and best friend. Even his father admitted this when he met Matt Ke.

Anyway, he couldn't see how Matt Ke met the above criteria.

Although he was very unhappy with Isuji's treatment of him like a toy, he also knew that Isuji was very strong and could make those ruthless police officers obedient.

But so what? His father is the famous White Fang of Konoha!

Countless enemies have died by this white-toothed dagger.

With the right angle and lighting, you can even see the soul rings swirling around the white teeth.

Hatake Sakumo didn't know where to begin with his worries, so he could only say, "I'll take you to observe when the time comes, so you can take this opportunity to witness the strength of the top geniuses in the ninja world."

A top genius?

Kakashi remained noncommittal.

However, he is confident that he will become the top genius his father spoke of in the future!

Chapter 96 The Explosion of the Nobles

Just as Wuzhixian was preparing for his graduation exams, many nobles in various parts of the Land of Fire received uninvited guests.

"Too deceiving!"

"You mere ninjas are nothing but brutes who rely on brute force, yet you dare to offend us nobles!"

Angry.

The group of nobles who had been robbed were utterly enraged.

Since when were ninjas merely laborers working dirty and tiring jobs for nobles, hiding in the shadows, their lives teetering between killing and being killed?

This situation changed after the appearance of the First Hokage, but with his passing, the establishment of the ninja village had no impact on the ninja world, and everything else remained largely the same as before.

Ninjas could never hold their heads high in front of nobles, who remained aloof and arrogant.

Yes, the Second Hokage is still formidable, and the nobles dare not make a move.

But it's all good in the end.

However, this promising situation was once again disrupted.

Danzo Shimura, the darkness of the ninja world, had absolutely no respect for the nobility. Fortunately, the Third Hokage was sensible and proper.

However, this promising situation was once again disrupted.

Fifty Strings of Song, a genius boy from Konoha, disrespectful to nobles and great names, acts without hesitation, and will stab nobles with a knife if he has one.

So the nobles backed down and reluctantly cut their losses.

These actions were already pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable for nobles, but the ninjas were still not satisfied!

Danzo Shimura!

A nobleman, known for his composure, restraint, elegance, and affability, now had bloodshot eyes and was panting heavily.

His eyes and brows were filled with hostility.

"No, we can't let this go. If this continues, the ninjas will be riding on our heads!" he said in a deep voice.

She and her friends responded in unison.

The idea that ninjas are tools is difficult to pinpoint exactly when it began to spread, but the presence of nobles behind it was undeniable.

Today, this view has been accepted by many ninjas, and even rebellious ninjas generally do not lay a hand on nobles.

It's like gilding a nobleman with gold.

But now this golden statue is starting to crack.

If no action is taken and the situation is allowed to develop unchecked, the ninja who controls the power might one day turn against his superiors.

Samurai have a particular right to speak on this point.

Especially the Land of Iron.

When other countries are mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is nobility and daimyo, but in the Land of Iron, it is samurai.

Although samurai were nobles, they were only lower-ranking nobles.

“But if we take action, that ‘explosive reaper’ might get wind of it.” Someone hesitated.
