I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

On his journey, he passed by Orochimaru's sealed location, reinforced it with the power of the Six Paths, and then returned to Earth.

......

The Land of Ninjas, Konoha, the Daimyo's office.

After making the round trip to the moon and handling numerous matters along the way, Yun Ting replaced the wooden clone and returned to his familiar seat in less than a day.

At this moment, the television screen was still showing the second round of the Chunin Exams in the Forest of Death, with the camera turning on Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura's team.

Compared to the original story, the Konoha Ninja Academy, after the reforms by the Cloud Court, no longer only taught the Three Body Techniques in a childish way during their six years of study.

Lower-level ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, as well as medical ninjutsu, are available to students with excellent grades.

Furthermore, Naruto and Sasuke's parents are both alive. Under their tutelage, their strength is much greater than it was in the original story.

With the addition of Sakura, a medical ninja with considerable talent, they traversed the perilous Forest of Death in just one day, reached the center, seized the banner, and began their return journey.

Both Android and Apple devices are supported.

Of course, they are not the only team that has taken the lead right now.

Teams like the Kurotsuchi Squad, Karin Squad, and Gaara Squad all acquired the banner.

Although these teams encountered each other during the period, they did not go all out to fight, as the difference in their strength was not significant and to avoid any third party benefiting. Everything would be decided in the final third round of assessment.

Having realized that Naruto and his two companions' advancement was a foregone conclusion, Yun Ting stopped watching TV.

He called out to Ritsuko Yamanaka.

She was still dressed in a women's suit, short skirt and black stockings, but Yamanaka Ritsuko looked more mature and capable than when they first met.

Unaware of Yun Ting's earlier departure, and even less aware of the dramatic change in his strength in such a short time, she keenly sensed the subtle shifts in Yun Ting's demeanor. However, not being one to pry, she spoke as usual:

"Lord Hokage."

Although Yunting is now the Daimyo of the Land of Ninja, those close to him still habitually call him "Lord Hokage".

Yun Ting, who was used to and happy to be addressed that way, nodded and instructed, "Pass the word down to find a monk named Ci Xian as quickly as possible. Don't alert him. Report to me immediately after you find him."

"Yes."

Although she didn't understand why the Hokage was going to such lengths to find such a person, Yamanaka Ritsuko, who would take every task assigned by Yun Ting very seriously, immediately nodded and then, amidst the rapid clatter of her high heels, got to work with great efficiency.

No matter who the other party is, with the entire ninja world now controlled by the Land of Ninja and all ninjas obeying orders, the Land of Ninja can find even the most hidden person by digging three feet into the ground if they want to.

Yun Ting was very confident about this.

Especially now that the so-called "Kara" organization is nowhere to be found, it's only a matter of time before Jigen, who is completely unaware of the situation, is found by the Land of Ninja with all its might.

With Yun Ting personally taking action, not only will this potential future threat be eliminated, but the information he seeks can also be obtained through the protected being, Otsutsuki Isshiki, who is parasitizing within the other party's body.

Within the Otsutsuki clan, members are divided into guardians and those who are protected.

The status of the guardians is even lower, such as Kaguya Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki.

Under normal circumstances, when Kaguya Otsutsuki and Isshiki Otsutsuki, the guardian and the protected, came to Earth and planted the Divine Tree inside, Kaguya Otsutsuki was to be used as a living sacrifice to feed the Ten-Tails, allowing the Ten-Tails to quickly grow into the Divine Tree. Afterward, the roots of the Divine Tree would spread to every corner of the planet, absorbing the chakra of all life forms on the planet.

When all the chakra on this planet is drained, the Divine Tree will bear a giant chakra fruit.

Even as a living sacrifice, Kaguya Otsutsuki would not truly die.

Before she is eaten, she will search for a suitable human "vessel" on the local planet and insert a "wedge" into its body so that she can be reborn through the "wedge" in the future.

The only price to pay is the loss of one's personality and freedom for a long period of time.

But who would have thought that Kaguya Otsutsuki would create a precedent in the history of the Otsutsuki clan, kicking Isshiki Otsutsuki, whom she was protecting, into the Divine Tree, making him the sacrifice for the Ten-Tails in her place.

With the sacrifice of higher-quality Otsutsuki people, the Divine Tree could produce Chakra Fruit at an extremely fast speed without having to completely absorb all the chakra on the planet.

After being eaten by Kaguya Otsutsuki and becoming the progenitor of chakra on Earth, a series of events then occurred on Earth.

It has to be said that Otsutsuki Isshiki, the first person in history to be betrayed by a guardian, was an extremely unlucky guy.

Especially now, after a thousand years, when things have finally eased up.

Just as he was about to take action, he was targeted by Yun Ting.

This unlucky streak is truly something else.

Chapter 361 It's Too Late

The search for Cixian did not take much time.

In the week between the end of the second round of the Chunin Exams in the Forest of Death and the start of the final round, the ninjas quickly found him.

It is worth noting that when he was found, this guy was heading towards Konoha with a large group of tourists.

The reason for this was that the live broadcast of the first and second rounds of the Chunin Exams caused an extraordinary stir in the ninja world, attracting a large number of people from all directions to Konoha to watch the final exam up close.

Cixian was completely inconspicuous among them.

Of course, he had no interest in watching a bunch of genin fight.

His real purpose for this trip was to see what made this country, the only one in a thousand years to unify the ninja world, so different.

And, secretly investigate whether the man named Thousand Hands Cloud Court, who caused all this, is hindering his plan to replant the divine tree.

Everyone should give it a try!

If so, then seize the opportunity to eliminate it.

As a high-ranking member of the Otsutsuki clan, although he was betrayed by Kaguya Otsutsuki, whom he had always looked down upon, and can now only parasitize Jigen's body in the form of "Karma", he still deeply despises the natives of Earth.

Those below the Six Paths level are nothing but ants.

Even Senju Kumo-tei, who is currently hailed as a god in the ninja world, is the same in his eyes.

It is precisely this arrogance that has prompted him to head to Konoha now, without any concern that he will be exposed.

After all, the "Wedge" is a unique ability of the Otsutsuki clan, which is beyond the comprehension of Earthlings.

They probably know very little about even the Otsutsuki clan.

Little did he know that a large net was being laid out in front of him.

And I am actively involved in it.

……

When Yun Ting received news of Ci Xian's appearance, he was teaching his daughter at a training ground when he had nothing else to do.

Meanwhile, Tsunade, whose appearance and skin were still like a young girl's but whose figure was becoming increasingly hot, ate sunflower seeds while clapping and praising her daughter when she noticed that her daughter had been beaten up and was covered in dirt.

This is the daily parent-child activity of Yunting's family of three.

"That's enough for today," Yun Ting said to his daughter after receiving the message.

Seven-year-old Maki has grown quite a bit taller than before, but of course, her face is still as delicate and cute as ever.

Upon hearing this, despite being badly beaten, she still asked reluctantly, "Father, must we leave?"

Yun Ting walked up to her, patted Maki's head, and said, "Yes, I have something very important to take care of."

Then, he looked at Tsunade beside him and said, "Tsunade, Maki's training is now in your hands."

"Don't worry, with me in charge, I'll definitely give Maki an unforgettable training session." Tsunade patted her magnificent chest, chuckled, and raised her light yellow eyebrows at Maki.

Maki immediately turned her back on her mother with a dismissive look.

Of course, doing it is one thing.

She couldn't help but tug at Yun Ting's sleeve and remind him, "Father, come back soon!"

"rest assured!"

Yun Ting nodded, then told Tsunade to take it easy before disappearing from the two women's sight.

The next second, "Crack! Crack!"—the crisp sound of bones breaking rang out.

Maki turned her head warily, only to see Tsunade smiling lovingly at her, saying, "Little Maki, let your mother teach you properly from now on."

Maki's expression changed.

Yesterday, no matter how much her mother, who had lost everything, tried to persuade her, she refused to lend her money.

Clearly, the other party is enraged and now wants to retaliate.

Without saying a word, Maki clapped her hands together and, faster than usual, struck first, saying:

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

Rumble~

Numerous trees sprang up from the ground.

Tsunade watched all this, but her smile only deepened. "If this technique were performed by your father, Maki, I would definitely back down. But now, Maki, let me show you what a mother's love is all about."

As soon as he finished speaking, an even more intense commotion erupted on the training field.

……

the other side.

After receiving the intelligence, Yun Ting did not call anyone else and rushed to Ci Xian's location alone without any delay.

Soon, a straight road leading to Konoha appeared.

Just as Jigen, dressed in a white haori, with a long braid at the back of his head and a distinct black "wedge" mark on his chin, was walking towards Konoha amidst a group of ordinary people.

A white figure suddenly rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed.

The visitor was none other than Yun Ting.

Without giving Jigen any chance to react, he immediately opened Takamagahara and took Jigen away.

The next second, someone walking beside Cixian glanced at him out of the corner of their eye and, realizing that he had vanished in the blink of an eye, exclaimed in surprise:

"Huh? Where did that person go?"

Then, when the others looked over, they were all filled with surprise and doubt.

Not to mention the shock that Cixian's disappearance would cause to his companions.

At this moment, in a daze, Cixian found himself in a strange alternate dimension, and his face was also quite shocked.

"Space-time abilities! And the person in front of me, is that Thousand Hands Cloud Court?!"
