"Uncle Xingyun said that your Sage Mode and Toad-type Ninjutsu are unparalleled in the ninja world, and that if I could learn them, I would definitely become a great ninja like you."

Jiraiya's complexion improved considerably.

He looked at Naruto Uzumaki, and after a long while said, "Let's leave it at that for now."

"After some time, I will take you to Mount Myoboku."

Naruto Uzumaki: "Mount Myōboku? The place where toads live?"

Jiraiya: "That's right."

"I'll take you to see the Great Toad Sage. We'll talk about the rest later."

a few days later.

Naruto Uzumaki bid a reluctant farewell to Shingetsu Seiun and then headed to Mount Myōboku with Jiraiya.

With Naruto Uzumaki gone, the village seemed much quieter.

I still feel a little empty inside.

To improve her mood, Shenyue Xingyun could only arrange more dates and energy-boosting activities to make her life more colorful.

Gradually, life seemed to calm down.

Konoha developed peacefully, and Tsunade's work after taking over gradually got back on track.

Among them, Hiruzen Sarutobi has handed over all his work and authority to Tsunade.

After doing all this, Hiruzen Sarutobi intended to retire and live a quiet life. However, Shingetsu Seiun prevented him from doing so.

Although the old guy has been relatively well-behaved in recent years, Shenyue Xingyun has always remembered what the other party did back then.

After handing over all his duties as Hokage, he gave Hiruzen Sarutobi one last task—to gather the Root members and organize the Root files.

After the Root personnel are brought together, the Root's independent organizational structure will be abolished, and all useful personnel will be incorporated into the Anbu and placed under Tsunade's direct command.

This job not only requires him to withstand Danzo's anger, but also to confront the 'work' that Root had done in the past. Those contents that Hiruzen Sarutobi had selectively ignored before now need to be sorted out, archived, and cleaned up by him personally.

The old man looked much older after completing this mission.

As for Danzo, he was naturally unwilling to accept the abolition of the Root Department, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Given Hiruzen Sarutobi's tough stance, he really had little room to resist, not to mention Tsunade was behind him.

He went to the Hokage's office and argued with Tsunade.

"I shed blood for Konoha!"

“I have done a great service for the village! You can’t just dismiss the staff of the village with a single sentence.”

However, Tsunade's reason was also very straightforward: "There is indeed merit gained through bloodshed."

"But it has also made quite a few mistakes."

"The three generations of old men have already handed over the information to me. I won't hold many things against you, but don't be ungrateful."

Danzo was speechless after hearing this.

Tsunade continued, "Furthermore, the Root organization is not being abolished."

"I simply reassigned them to the Dark Division for unified management."

Do you have a problem with that?

Before Danzo could respond, she added, "Don't forget, I am the Hokage."

"……Bang!"

Because of that 'bang' on the Hokage's office door, Danzo was transferred to the reception service center of the Konoha Mission Hall.

He rose from the darkness of the Roots to become the second-highest level office worker in Konoha, after the Gatekeeper.

Every day, they face the sunlight, handle the most basic administrative tasks, arrive at work on time, and occasionally work overtime. It's like being a ninja version of a bull or horse.

Danzo had considered quitting and retiring based on his seniority, but Tsunade dismissed the idea with just one sentence.

“Elder Danzo and Elder Hsing Yun told me that even when people get old, they can still contribute their remaining energy.”

"Although the work at the root level suited you better in the past, working in the main hall offers more flexibility and possibilities~"

"Work hard, serve the village, don't shirk your responsibilities, the village will not treat you unfairly."

"Elder Danzo, you don't want the Shimura clan members to be treated differently, do you?"

Chapter 547 Exposed, Sunset, High Blood Pressure, Crimson

Going to work, going to work, eating, working overtime.

This is Danzo's daily life now.

The longer he worked overtime at the lobby window, the fainter his dream of becoming a Naruto faded, to the point that he almost forgot what it felt like to strive for a goal.

Going to work every day feels like being a walking corpse, and after get off work I start praying that Shingetsu Seiun and Tsunade will be in trouble someday.

He had no other options.

Even Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, under the combined efforts of Tsunade and Kamizuki Seiun, obediently acted as advisors offering suggestions, rather than bossing people around and acting like elders who relied on their seniority.

Danzo understood.

As long as this illogical being, Shingetsu Nebula, is around, his dream will never come true.

The monotonous work and unpaid overtime day after day caused his energy and spirit to rapidly decline.

So much so that one day, when Yakushi Nonou bumped into Danzo on the street after he finished working overtime, she almost didn't recognize him.

The latter's image is almost that of an old man counting his days, rather than the spirited elder of the Root.

“It’s you, Nono.” Danzo recognized Yakushi Nono.

The past vividly resurfaced before his eyes, and he felt a sense of the changing times.

"How's the orphanage doing lately?"

Despite being a former boss, Pharmacist Nono maintained a polite facade.

"Fortunately."

"The Hokage approved a lot of funding, and the situation at the orphanage is much better than before."

Danzo nodded: "It's so late, aren't you going back to the orphanage?"

Yakushi Nonou: "...Something's up."

To be precise, it means going to someone's home to receive instruction.

Thinking about what was about to happen, Yakushi Nonou felt a little feverish. She nodded slightly, said, "I'm leaving now," and then left without looking back.

Danzo's wrinkles deepened.

...

The next day.

The pharmacist, Nono, returned home with a wealth of knowledge.

Shenyue Xingyun had intended to rest at home for a while when a notification suddenly popped up on the panel.

A locator is active!

Upon inspection, Shingetsu Seiun discovered it was Kurenai Yuhi's locator, and judging from the location, it should be Kurenai Yuhi's home.

"what happened?"

"Why are you calling me in broad daylight?" Shenyue Xingyun asked, somewhat puzzled.

After thinking about it, he decided to use the locator to initiate teleportation.

Kurenai's bedroom.

When the Shingetsu Nebula appeared, Kurenai Yuhi immediately stood up.

Immediately afterward, Shingetsu Seiun realized he was wrong. Yuhi Kurenai's anxious expression didn't seem like what he had expected.

"It's urgent!" Kurenai exclaimed quickly, "It seems Father has come looking for you!"

"Looking for me?" Shenyue Xingyun pointed to herself.

"Why are you looking for me so early in the morning?"

Kurenai Yuhi: "My father... found out I'm pregnant."

Shen Yue Xingyun's expression changed drastically!

When did this happen?

Kurenai Yuhi said urgently, "I just found out too."

"I suddenly gagged while eating breakfast this morning."

"Then I couldn't help but gag a few more times."

"My father was there when I realized it."

Shenyue Xingyun's expression became more serious.

He and Kurenai Yuhi have indeed been working on this for some time now.

But to her surprise, she was discovered by Yuhi Kurenai's father as soon as she succeeded.

This is not good.

Kurenai Yuhi: "It's all my fault, I was too careless."

"It'll be exposed if you're not careful."

"Nebula, if you don't want to see your father, you should hide for a while."

Shenyue Xingyun composed herself and then waved her hand, saying, "No need."

“He is still your father, and hiding from him is not a solution.”

"Let's talk this out properly."

He didn't want to get married early, and Kurenai Yuhi enjoyed this situation. What could he do? He could only explain it to Kurenai Yuhi properly, and he figured she would understand... what a load of rubbish!
