The rumors about immortality are not unfounded. After all, if it were completely fictitious, why would the enemy suddenly think of it?

The incident stemmed from the leak of a research topic.

The feasibility of using cloning technology to rebuild the physical body and transfer the soul to achieve immortality was verified.

The most fundamental basis for this research report is the explanation of how Uzumaki Sora of Amegakure used the Rinnegan to revive the dead.

So... was it this leaked document that gave the enemy a new direction?

……

Lu Tai let out a sigh of relief on a park bench.

Although he inherited the lazy nature of the Nara clan, his innate intelligence and education from his grandfather Shikaku gave him a natural sensitivity to high-level politics.

He knew very well that as long as Uncle Yun and the one from Amegakure shared the same will, no one in the entire ninja world could cause any major disturbance.

Under absolute power, the chessboard was overturned and slapped directly in the face. What use is good chess skills?

This is also why the political center of the entire ninja world gradually shifted to Konoha.

But immortality...

Such temptation is not something everyone can resist.

From the elderly high-ranking officials, to some high-ranking officials in the first and second research departments, the Ministry of Commerce, the garrison forces, and even... the Hokage's direct subordinate ANBU.

These are the top executives; below them are wealthy individuals from various corporations.

Who can resist the temptation of immortality?

The last page of the document contains the record.

To date, only Lord Orochimaru has been promised immortality by those two. And this was the true initial trigger.

So, who exactly is the originator?

"Snapped."

A chubby girl appeared behind Lu Tai: "Did you need something? An amusement park like this... is it a date?"

Lu Tai turned around and smiled helplessly: "Die Die, we've known each other since we were little, can't I just invite you out to play?"

Chocho Akimichi shook her head violently: "You've always hated trouble. You have your graduation exam tomorrow, you should be sleeping at home right now."

⊙_⊙

Lu Tai was stunned.

So you're still way too inexperienced...

This consideration based on habit was overlooked immediately.

In an instant, a multitude of thoughts flashed through my mind.

"The graduation exam is tomorrow, and as the Ino-Shika-Cho trio of this generation, we have a high chance of being grouped together. And after the graduation exam, there's the assessment of instructing Jonin after the team assignments..."

Chocho Akimichi frowned and asked, "If it's Ino-Shika-Cho, Aunt Ino's family only has Uchiha Yu, and he doesn't know the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques. But if it were him, I would be so happy."

Lu Tai's eye twitched. Being handsome really does have its advantages...

Because the only daughter of the Yamanaka clan chief married Uncle Yun, Yu, being a member of the Uchiha clan, naturally could not bear the surname Yamanaka.

And for this reason, Uncle Haiyi voluntarily relinquished the position of clan leader to his cousin.

Naturally, the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho still exists; it's just that this guy didn't notice.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to something to eat, and we can chat while we eat."

When it comes to the Akimichi clan, only delicious food is the best way to make them lower their guard.

……

After the two left, Shikamaru sighed and jumped down from the tree behind the bench.

Choji Akimichi was waiting. He looked at him and sighed, "Are you sure you're okay with this? We still have to go back to Shikadai to test Temari later. If we're discovered, the two of us will be in trouble..."

Shikamaru was silent for a moment: "Otherwise what? This kind of public opinion is getting wider and wider. The other side's goal is obviously to put Konoha on the opposite side of everyone."

Choji asked doubtfully, "Can't you just give me the truthful explanation?"

Shikamaru rubbed his temples: "Currently, all lie detection techniques and technologies originate from Konoha. Even if the memories were released, in the eyes of those blinded by desire, Konoha would undoubtedly have tampered with them. Moreover, given Konoha's current status, they couldn't possibly make such a decision, not even Naruto..."

"This is an open conspiracy. Although they can't replace Konoha no matter what, they can reverse the trend of unification for four or five years."

Unification...

In fact, Konoha already possessed the power to unify the country by force.

But that would only fuel new hatred within Konoha. And ninjas, as highlighted at the very first major meeting, are the second most important productive force in the ninja world—indispensable!

This led to the formation of a political system centered on Konoha, encompassing the five major ninja villages, which lasted for over a decade.

Subtly, the education, construction, economy, entertainment... all aspects of the four major ninja villages need to follow Konoha's opinions.

As a result, the mindset of the new generation of the four great ninja villages has been completely changed on the basis of peace, and a perfect transition to unification is only a matter of a few years.

But clearly, some people are starting to get restless.

Those who benefit the most from the system are the most suspicious, and the four major ninja villages immediately became the prime suspects.

On the other hand, in this situation, the person who sends the information back will inevitably be wary of those with Konoha identities.

As the center of the ninja world, Konoha has many people from other villages, so it's unavoidable to discuss policies or business.

But among these people, only a few can get into the research department.

"Your mind is always sharp, so I'll leave this to you. You don't need to tell me anything more; I don't know anything."

As he spoke, Choji reached out and touched his round belly, then turned to run away.

"I'm hungry, I need to go get something to eat."

Behind him, Shikamaru's eye twitched.

This old friend of nearly thirty years is not stupid. If he cuts ties and ignores the matter, he will only be the one to suffer if the truth comes out.

Even if the one in Kumogakure really has problems, as the current head of the Akimichi clan, and given that the village's attitude might not be one-size-fits-all due to the need for peace, therefore...

"call……"

Shikamaru let out a breath; this job was really tough!

……

"Let me tell you, Lutai, even though I'm very pretty, I won't agree to date you if you try!"

Uh →_→

After playing all morning, half of the pocket money that Lutai had saved up over the years was gone.

And by then, the time was ripe.

"I heard... something new has recently come out somewhere, it was made by the research department, and it can uncover some of the secrets of adults."

"secret?"

"Yes, it's an adult's secret. Because it's very well hidden and not driven by chakra, it's difficult to detect."

"Why are you telling me this? I don't need to know adults' secrets!"

⊙_⊙

Lu Tai choked for a moment.

The reason he approached Akimichi Chocho first was not only because he suspected Kumogakure was a bit more likely to be involved in his analysis, but also because of a question that the person in front of him had once asked him.

She even suspected that Uncle Choji wasn't her father, because she had once vaguely seen her father, who was very handsome and thin.

That's clearly a side effect of the Akimichi clan's secret technique, isn't it?

I used to think that straightforward people were easy to persuade, but now it seems that even straightforward people can be a bit slow to react...

“I want to buy one because I think my dad should be even more handsome.”

Akimichi Chocho: ? ? ? (⊙o⊙)!

Chapter 458: Graduation Assessment

While entrusting the intelligence leak incident to Konoha's new generation of children may have been a test and an opportunity for observation, the most important reason is that Konoha doesn't take them seriously.

Orochimaru from the Research Department, Naruto still busy working in the Hokage Building, and Shikamaru who is trying to escape unscathed by handing the case over to his son...

Although it was an open conspiracy, the higher-ups in Konoha did not take it very seriously.

What good would it do to succeed?

It was a condition that Uzumaki Sora had agreed to Orochimaru a long time ago. Under Orochimaru's control, Amegakure wouldn't do anything, so the others were just insignificant characters.

A day passed quickly, and Lutai completed the first step in achieving its six objectives.

At the same time, he also realized that the matter was not very difficult, since there were not many suspects, and the scope was narrowed down to a certain range.

However, it's clear that Dad was probably mainly afraid that Mom would hold him accountable later, so he asked me to take the fall.

After a sigh, Lu Tai, who had been busy all day, pulled the covers up and prepared for tomorrow's graduation exam.

……

the next day.

The Konoha Academy ninja class was bustling with activity. The two-day holiday seemed to have given the kids endless things to talk about.

"Snapped."

Boruto patted Sarada and Yu on the shoulders: "After the assessment, let's go to the shopping street together. Today, I'm paying, so please have a good time."

Sarada raised her hand and slapped Boruto's hand away: "We agreed to discuss the graduation exam, and you stood me up and you still have the nerve to say that?"

Yu said directly, "Although we will most likely pass for some reason, if we are not up to par, it is inevitable that we will be ridiculed by those who are watching us."

Boruto confidently replied, "Don't worry, there won't be any problem."

On the other side, Akimichi Chocho was whispering with Shikadai, and Yamanaka Hana, who had succeeded the Ino-Shika-Cho clan as the new generation, also joined them.
