Madara, let's change the world together!

"I'll stay in Konoha during the day to keep an eye on things for you."

"Well, we'll see how it goes."

Some things can't be rushed.

"However, you can make friends with Kushina through Mikoto."

"This relationship will be very important in the future."

"Minato will be the biggest driving force for us to change Konoha."

Chapter 201 The Gradually Changing Trajectory

Time passed slowly.

On the third day after Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered the suppression of the rumors, Gen Kiyoi cooperated by having the merchants end their discussion. Only Danzo's people were still secretly trying to tarnish the Third Hokage's reputation.

However, it completely disappeared on the fourth day.

This rumor ended much faster than before.

Many ordinary people breathed a sigh of relief because they were finally free from annoying noises.

Many ninjas kept this in mind.

The atmosphere at the ninja academy was quite ordinary; discussing anything about Sakumo Hatake was forbidden, as it was considered an insult to a hero.

However, the students here weren't interested in discussing this matter; they were only interested in the fact that Kakashi was Sakumo Hatake's son.

But Kakashi was very good at fighting. After he knocked down a genin who was about to graduate and came to provoke him with one punch, no one bothered him anymore.

"clang!"

On the training ground, Kakashi used his own silver short sword to deflect the katana's attack.

He looked at the heavy load on Kenpachi Zaraki's body and took a breath.

"Kid, you're still too weak!"

A hoarse voice came from beneath the bandaged mask.

The heavy katana was lifted from the crack in the ground.

The bells rang out, clear yet dangerous.

Only Sakumo Hatake and Kakashi, who were acting as Kenpachi Zaraki, were present on the entire training ground.

Because Kakashi learned the Shadow Clone Technique, he now uses shadow clones to go to school.

Kurenai and Shizune were very envious, but they didn't have Kakashi's talent; he learned Shadow Clone Technique in just a few days.

"Too slow!"

Sakumo Hatake raised his katana with one hand and swung it fiercely.

This way of using a knife is nothing like that of a samurai; it's more like that of a wild beast.

but

Kakashi quickly retreated, and several strands of hair on his forehead were cut off.

He always felt a sense of familiarity about Kenpachi Zaraki.

Moreover, they've been coming every day for the past few days, which is completely different from the other teachers.

Whenever they wanted to conduct high-intensity combat training, Kenpachi Zaraki would accompany them and even voluntarily bind himself with extremely heavy weights.

Even if Uncle Yuan is his savior, he shouldn't be helping them train so diligently, right?

Kakashi couldn't think of a reason, but

It's so great to have a sparring partner like this.

He needed to become stronger quickly to repay Uncle Yuan's kindness, and then...

Then?

"clang!"

Hey! You masked kid!

"Who gave you the courage to daydream?!"

Kenpachi Zaraki swung his katana at Kakashi as if he were wielding an iron rod.

Kakashi used his short sword to block, but he lacked the strength and was slammed into a tree trunk by the force.

"boom!"

So what should he do in the future?

Kakashi was panting heavily, gripping his silver red-tasseled short sword tightly.

Let's repay Uncle Yuan's kindness first.

We'll think about the future later.

"I never expected something like this to happen."

Having just returned to the village after completing a mission, Shinobu Yuhi sighed sadly as she visited Kiyoi Gen.

I never imagined my old friend would commit suicide because of something like this.

For a ninja, this would be far too humiliating.

"Yes, war, conflict, and even rumors can take lives."

Kiyoshi Gen's tone was tinged with sadness.

"It is precisely because reality is cruel that peace is so precious."

Yuhi Shinku nodded in agreement. Even though he was a ninja, he still longed for lasting peace.

"Shinku, you're thirty years old now, aren't you?"

"Ah, indeed."

Kiyoshi continued.

"Why don't you consider retiring when you're older and come work as my illusion instructor?"

"The last time I used genjutsu to treat Tsunade, it was quite successful. I want to try genjutsu treatment in the hospital in my territory."

"This way you won't have to take on dangerous missions and you can still get a stable income."

Kurenai Yuhi's expression showed a hint of attraction.

To be honest, if he had a job like this now, he could take better care of his daughter.

But Konoha needs Jonin right now, and he is still young and strong, so it's impossible for him to retire.

If it's red

As a father, he did not want his daughter to go to the cruel battlefield in the future, and it would be the best choice to prepare a way out for her.

"Yuan, I'll consider it if there's an opportunity in the future."

"Thank you very much."

After the two finished chatting for a while, Yuhi Makoto went to the training ground to wait for her daughter to come home from school for training.

He also wanted to see how much progress his daughter had made during this time.

Kiyoshi watched the crimson sunset fade into the distance.

He'll be leaving in a little over two weeks; some things should come to an end.

More than ten minutes later, he finally arrived at the medical research lab.

Today is the day Tsunade and the others work.

It's almost time for them to get off work.

Kiyoshi glanced at his pocket watch, then opened the door precisely on time.

Inside, Tsunade and eight assistants, including Maya, are continuing to organize the data and preserve paper and electronic records.

Ugh?

Everyone looked over.

"Still not off work?"

"Lord Yuan, there's still some finishing work to be done today."

Maya was the first to answer Kiyoi Gen's question.

"Ah."

"Tsunade."

Tsunade was taken aback when she heard Yuan call her name.

Are you here to see her?

Let's go on a date after get off work.

"I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, Kiyoi Gen didn't give Tsunade time to react before closing the door and continuing to wait in the corridor. (13:50)

Ugh?

A date?!

The next second, everyone else in the room looked at Tsunade, their eyes filled with gossip, and they were even smirking.

"Lady Tsunade, shall we continue with the final work? Why don't you go back to your room and change your clothes?"

Maya smiled and offered her suggestion.

"You have to dress up nicely for a date with your sweetheart."

What sweetheart?

Tsunade mentally complained, but she couldn't deny that she had indeed fallen for Kiyoi Gen.
