Konoha: Who's the good guy?

Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Yamanaka Kei led White Zetsu and Tobi directly to the Root's office.

Pharmacist Nono, who hadn't slept all night, was sitting behind her desk, working overtime to process the latest intelligence coming back from the front lines.

Yamato and Koho sat obediently beside her.

A person holds a comic book in their hand, immersed in the world depicted in the book.

Thanks to the illusion magic of the mountain scenery, the "Hypnosis Academy" is established.

In the previous two weeks, the two of them made remarkable progress in their studies.

Although they are still somewhat immature in their thinking compared to the precocious children in the ninja world, they have at least developed a certain degree of self-care ability.

Yakushi Nonou is also much more relaxed than before.

They are now able to focus most of their energy on handling the various matters at the root.

Don't underestimate a spy who can travel to many countries and still manage to escape unscathed. He only needed to observe the situation in the mountains a few times to be able to follow suit and carry out his duties.

Where's Mikoto?

Yamanaka Kei plopped down on the sofa next to him and started gulping down the tea.

So many things changed last night.

I didn't feel physically tired, but with my brain working at high speed, I inevitably felt a bit mentally fatigued.

Fortunately, most of the work has now been left to Nara Shikaku.

He only needs to improve Tsunade's strength, which will allow him to breathe a little easier.

"The supervision system for the training courses has been reformed."

"How's the progress?"

"It's basically finished."

Yakushi Nonou picked up a scroll from beside her and was about to get up to give it to Yamanaka Kei.

Seeing that she waved her hand repeatedly, signaling her to continue working.

He pursed his lips speechlessly, sat back down at his desk, and continued burying himself in the numerous documents.

The reform of the training program system at the root level is not complicated.

The goal is to minimize casualties during combat training, while those who fail the training are transferred to other specialized training classes.

Perception, management, intelligence gathering, document processing, ninjutsu development, ninja tool development...

Among the diverse range of extracurricular classes and skills training, children who are eliminated from the "competitive" classes always manage to find something they excel at.

Even if it can't be found.

They can also learn several skills to make a living and spread out as ordinary 'spies' in various countries and towns in the ninja world.

This new system may reduce the combat effectiveness of new members of the Root to some extent.

But it gave those ordinary children a chance to survive.

This also makes the root system more comprehensive and diversified.

Although Yakushi Nonou had undergone training in emotional erasure created by Danzo, she was still a human being, not a tool or a machine.

Just like someone who has been caught in the rain always wants to hold an umbrella for those who come after them.

Although the vast majority of Root ninjas did not say anything, they were extremely proactive in implementing and enforcing this system.

In less than half a month.

The various specialized classes have already taken shape and are gradually getting on track.

Although the expenses may be several times or even ten times larger than originally planned.

However, after the mountain scenery halted several costly experiments that it deemed to have no future, the root system was able to maintain a basic balance of income and expenditure and stability.

In the short term, this model should be able to operate well.

"Um."

Yamanaka nodded, not disturbing Yakushi Nonou's work any further, and waved to Yamato and Koho.

In his plan, Root would be like the Embroidered Uniform Guard or CP0 in the future.

No matter when or what world you live in, there will always be people who do dirty things and dirty work.

And this kind of institution must be firmly in his hands!

"teacher."

Yamato and Koho blinked their big eyes and jumped off the stool with happy expressions, coming over to join them.

The two little ones have a natural trust and dependence on Shan Zhongjing, who led them out of the dark underground experimental base and taught them various life skills and knowledge.

"Ah Fei, let's see how much you can enhance their strength without harming their bodies."

Yamanaka patted the two little ones on the head and said something to Afei beside him.

"Yes, sir."

Afei cast a smug look at Azang beside him.

She walked up to the two women who looked more like sisters than siblings, and placed her pale hands on their shoulders.

"Oh dear, my lord, this is terrible, this is terrible..."

"Skip the nonsense."

"Ahem~ Master, they are all very promising children, but their current physical condition is too weak. If they were to possess one person at a time, would they be a Jonin?"

"Can you possess both of them at the same time?"

"My lord, their physiques and chakra are highly similar. If we hold hands and exchange chakra, I can amplify their strength simultaneously, and their displayed power should be even greater, without damaging their bodies... a relatively strong Jonin?"

Afei hung his head, his voice full of grievance.

Two children, only five years old, who had just refined their chakra and showed no signs of training.

How could they possibly withstand his full power?

He messed up the first task the adults gave him, and he was really desperate.

"...You're stronger than a Jonin yourself, aren't you?"

The mountain scenery is such that he rests his hand on his forehead.

It's obvious now. To possess someone and have the strength of a Jonin is already a sign that Tobi is risking his life to carry the team!

It seems that seeing the Five Elements Wood Golem is not a realistic possibility in the near future.

but......

Once Yamato and Koho reach adulthood, their physique and strength will be improved.

Yamato + Kaori + Afei!

Another powerful henchman at the level of a super-kage!

"Study hard and cultivate diligently! When you grow up, the responsibility of protecting world peace will be entrusted to you!"

Shan Zhongjing gently patted the two little ones' heads and gave them some gentle instructions.

The two little ones blinked their innocent big eyes and nodded earnestly in agreement.

Yakushi Nono was speechless.

The heavy responsibility of safeguarding world peace?

This is brainwashing!

Absolutely!

He doesn't even spare a five-year-old child; how is this scoundrel any different from Danzo?

"Hey, stop looking so disgusted. I didn't ask you to show me your panties, is it really necessary?"

Yamanaka Kei gave Yakushi Nonou a sarcastic remark.

"Has the master finally lost his temper and decided to take action against his subordinates? As expected, the fate of Root ninjas is so tragic and desolate."

Yakushi Nonou put down her calligraphy brush, speaking casually.

But his left hand, hidden under the table, unconsciously pressed down on his left leg.

There is the Flying Thunder God mark there.

She has tried many methods, but she can't unravel them or hide them!

"??? You need to tone it down, don't set a bad example for the kids!"

With a look of embarrassment, Yamanaka turned to the two little ones and spoke gently.

"Yamato, Kaori, would you like to go for a walk outside with your teacher?"

"Uh-huh."

Yamato held Koho's hand.

Having not understood a word that Yakushi Nonou and Yamanaka Kei were saying, they nodded repeatedly with smiles on their faces.

sigh~

Under the spatial fluctuations of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Yamanaka Kei and the two little ones disappeared directly from the office.

Azang glanced at the comic books the two little ones had left behind.

He picked up one of the books and sat down on the sofa next to the office, quite familiarly, to read it.

"Huh? Is this workplace harassment? Oh dear, this is really incomprehensible. Excuse me, ma'am, just now, between you and the 'sir,' who was harassing whom?"

Afei raised his hand and touched the spiral-shaped head, then curiously approached Yakushi Nonou.

Yakushi Nonou stared intently at Tobi for several seconds.

Seeing that it clearly possessed greater intelligence than White Zetsu, they decisively changed the subject.

"Name, gender, abilities, special skills, I'll register you for employment."

"Huh? Ah! Oh! My name is Fei! You've always called me Fei! Gender... I don't think I've grown anything, so why don't you fill it in, madam?"

"That's workplace harassment!"

"Huh? Me? Huh? This..."
