Another convenient method is teleportation. For example, if you stand on a hilltop, you can directly identify your target within your line of sight and teleport there. The cost of teleportation is also acceptable.

The most energy-consuming method is long-distance teleportation without a locator. For example, when he visited a certain battlefield, he would slowly sense and locate it using his teleportation ability before teleporting. Even with his current chakra level, the chakra consumption was terrifying.

Of course, even the most terrifying things are acceptable.

That's teleportation!

From now on, he can go anywhere in the vast ninja world!

"Hoo~ Hoo~" Shenyue Xingyun took a deep breath, her excitement palpable.

Just as he was thinking about how to celebrate, Yekura, dressed beautifully, walked in wearing a casual silk dress.

"Are you awake?"

"If we don't eat soon, it'll be lunchtime... Ugh~"

Ye Cang was terrified: "What are you doing?"

The moon and nebula have bright eyes.

"Let's celebrate."

"Celebrate? Celebrate what? You're going to become Hokage?"

"You're finally going to listen to me, huh~"

An hour later, Yekura felt that life was as usual.

An hour and a half later, Yekura realized that things were not so simple.

Two and a half hours later, smoke began to rise from Yekura.

"You...you took the wrong medicine?" she asked in a daze.

Shenyue Xingyun did not answer, but only poured out her joy and excitement.

Just as Yekura was dazed and saw the past generations of Sunagakure, Shingetsu Seiun finally let her go.

It wasn't because the other party was kind-hearted, but because someone else had arrived.

"Lord Nebula, the Hokage is looking for you." Outside the courtyard gate, Raido Namiashi, who was waiting, saw Shingetsu Nebula and said respectfully.

Shenyue Xingyun replied in an unfriendly tone, "I understand."

Namiashi Raido felt that Shingetsu Seiun's attitude was not very good, but he didn't think much of it. He just sighed in his heart, "It seems that Lord Seiun's dissatisfaction with the Hokage is indeed very serious."

Otherwise, why would they not even give themselves a kind look?

Twenty minutes later, in the Hokage's office.

Shingetsu Seiun met with Hiruzen Sarutobi alone.

Gone was the kind smile, and the familiar "Good boy" from years ago.

The office was filled with smoke. Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at his pipe, the smoke unable to hide the weariness in his eyes.

He looked at Shenyue Xingyun standing in front of him; the young man was tall and handsome. Just by standing there, an aura of resolute determination was evident.

His tired eyes held an even more complex expression as Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke.

"The Shenyue Family."

"They have lived here since Lord Hashirama Senju founded Konoha."

"Over the decades, most of the ninjas of the Shingetsu family have died in wars and missions."

"The two orphaned brothers depended on each other for survival. The younger brother was of good talent, while the older brother was dull-witted. At the ninja academy, the older brother excelled in theoretical studies but was at the bottom in practical skills."

"Unable to graduate normally, I have chosen to repeat the year."

"After repeating a grade for two years, my brother suddenly displayed extraordinary ninja talent. He first learned the Healing Palm Technique on his own through 'the training notes that our father accidentally obtained' and joined the team of Jonin Uchiha Mikoto."

"Later, he distinguished himself in the Third Shinobi World War and his reputation grew day by day."

"And now."

Shingetsu Seiun frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning behind Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

"What does the Hokage mean by saying this?"

“It doesn’t mean anything else.” Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the young man in front of him and sighed softly, “It’s just that the old man likes to nag.”

"I never imagined that in just a few years, the former bottom of the class would grow to such an extent."

Shenyue Xingyun: "You summoned me here just to say this?"

"They don't even address him as Hokage-sama anymore?" Hiruzen Sarutobi remarked.

Before Shenyue Xingyun could answer, he continued, "Never mind, whatever you call me is fine."

“Shenyue Xingyun.” He looked directly into Shenyue Xingyun’s eyes and said, “Although I don’t know much about your upbringing, in general, your resume is clean, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that you have been loyal and righteous for generations.”

Seeing that Shingetsu Seiun's expression was getting stranger and stranger, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "I didn't mean anything by saying this, so you don't need to be nervous."

Shenyue Xingyun: "I'm not nervous."

Hiruzen Sarutobi choked for a moment, then nodded: "That's true."

"The renowned 'Leaf Demon Star' has nothing to be nervous about facing an outdated old man like me."

Immediately afterwards, Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject.

"Let me ask you, how would you rate this old man?"

Shenyue Nebula took two and a half seconds to organize her thoughts.

"weak."

"madness."

"…fail."

Chapter 437 Hiruzen Sarutobi, Unable to Deceive Himself

Hiruzen Sarutobi's cheek twitched twice.

After a moment, he sighed, "You really are... ruthless."

Shenyue Xingyun felt there was no point in showing any mercy.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi devoted himself to the village during his tenure, from an outsider's perspective, he was not exactly successful.

It is a sign of weakness to allow Danzo to grow his influence in Konoha so large and corrupt, committing numerous evil deeds while choosing to turn a blind eye, prioritizing temporary peace over long-term interests and sacrificing the village's well-being.

The White Fang of Konoha made great contributions to Konoha, and his clan was not as large or dangerous as the Uchiha clan, yet he was forced to his death by his own villagers. Losing a top-notch ninja was foolish.

Of the three disciples, one defected, and the other two disappeared and were unable to serve the village; this was a failure.

He felt that he had already been quite tactful in his words.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi had any sense of self-awareness, he would know that his assessment was correct.

After a long pause, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke again.

"Actually... what you said isn't wrong."

"Weak, foolish, and a failure. That is indeed me."

Shen Yuexingyun's doubts deepened.

What is Hiruzen Sarutobi trying to do?

Was it a self-inflicted injury ruse? Or some other tactic?

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Many years ago, Lord Tobirama entrusted me with the important task of becoming Hokage."

"From that time on, I devoted myself wholeheartedly to my work and dared not slacken."

"I remember struggling to survive among the various ninja villages with Koharu, Menyan and the others. The scene of everyone working together with enthusiasm is still vivid in my mind."

"Now, decades have passed in the blink of an eye."

Shenyue Nebula was getting impatient.

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "During my tenure, I did a lot for the village... of course, some good and some bad."

"Although there are some things I didn't get involved in, it would be self-deception to say that I knew nothing about them."

"Ino-Shika-Cho, Hyuga... Although they have always supported me, I also know a little about what the village ninjas think of me."

He glanced at Shenyue Xingyun: "You guys have been saying a lot of bad things about me behind my back, haven't you?"

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi had stopped and was looking at him, Shingetsu Seiun knew this was a problem, and after thinking for a second, gave an objective answer.

"It can't be called sneaking around."

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."

"Hehe~ Young man, you speak with such force."

Shingetsu Seiun: "Lord Hokage, if there's nothing serious, I'll head back now."

"I have serious matters to attend to at home."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled softly, a hint of bitterness in his voice.

"No one likes to listen to an old man's words."

"never mind."

"I won't take up any more of your time."

"Go back and prepare."

Shenyue Xingyun was taken aback: "Prepare what?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe, took a long drag, and exhaled smoke.

His figure seemed to have become slightly hunched.

"Preparing to succeed the fifth generation leader."

"Let's set the date for the day after tomorrow. It's an auspicious day."

Shenyue Xingyun's eyes widened slightly.
