He was in Konoha, exuding an aura of dominance.

After all, Gojūgen's actions against Danzo were characterized by a wildness and the mysterious rumors surrounding his mental state. If Gojūgen's mind suddenly sharpened during the competition, he himself would be the one to suffer.

Should we let the clan's ninjas take over?

To be able to go toe-to-toe with Isogen, one must be at least a Jonin. Ninja clans all have private armies to some extent, but Jonin are the foundation of their strength, and losing even one of them is painful.

The Hidden Leaf Village is large and powerful, but it only has about a hundred Jonin on the surface. If you include the Jonin clan members, the number should reach four or five hundred.

Such precious resources, just to figure out a genius?

It's not that extravagant.

Besides, instead of exhausting ourselves, we might as well hope that others will take the initiative. What if someone has the spirit to contribute to the community?

So it dragged on and on until now.

The results are in, and they're quite shocking, with a strong aftereffect; they need time to settle.

Rinne Uzumaki's reaction was much calmer than that of the Jonin of Konoha.

Having witnessed Ijūgen's pinpoint explosion in Kusagakure, an internal explosion that was even more chilling than direct death, the sheer scale of this main energy attack on the sky only made her realize how powerful Ijūgen truly was.

Yakushi Nonou felt more worried than happy.

"Won't things get serious from making such a big fuss?"

Having experienced the darkness beneath the towering tree of Konoha, she knew the darkness hidden beneath this ninja village that promoted the Will of Fire.

If Igarashi is a 'talent' who has comprehended the Will of Fire, then the Hokage lineage will definitely do everything in its power to protect him.

In her opinion, Isogen is a good kid, but not the kind of good kid the Konoha higher-ups expect.

The fact that someone could go so far as to bomb a base belonging to Konoha's high-ranking officials doesn't seem to meet the standards set by those officials.

The reason we are turning a blind eye to this now is largely because of Mito Uzumaki, a veteran, but she is already old.

She knew that Fifty Strings was strong, but even the strongest can be overpowered, and he was still just a child.

Although this child nearly destroyed Kusagakure, occasionally played games like beating up nobles who spit out gold coins, kicking the Konoha kindergarten, and punching old ninja lollipops...

But he's still a child!

"No problem, easy peasy. I can do that nine more times!" Isogen raised his right hand, gave an OK sign, and smiled casually.

The operative in the corner, who was following Mito Uzumaki's orders, nearly slipped and was drenched in sweat.

Take the young master!

A single strike could cleanse the clouds in Konoha's sky, causing the ground to tremble and waves of heat to sweep across the land. This was the effect of channeling chakra into the sky; if even half of it were to hit the ground, Konoha's history would record that from this day forward, it would be the golden age of Konoha.

Nine times, you'll send it, right? You definitely will, right?!

The inner workings of the Dark Side's Fifty Strings are unknown.

However, the nine times he mentioned are true, but they are nine times that allow for rapid recovery.

The recovery ability brought by the extremely high Yang attribute is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Without exaggeration, with his medical knowledge, the medical ninjutsu called "Palm Sage Technique" but actually known as "Sage Body" by knowledgeable Jonin, plus his current physical condition, he could even perform a live hand-crafting demonstration after releasing the chakra stored in the Yin Seal.

Extremely efficient.

Comparable to a certain Yan's hand-crafted nuclear bomb, it seems like the enemy is stupid enough to take the hit head-on, but in reality, he secretly set up an instant explosion to cover himself as well, relying on his fire immunity, which is higher than the enemy's, and other healing methods to withstand the damage.

According to his own speculation, his current attribute is roughly equivalent to officially crossing the Kage level, and he is racing ahead in this field that few people in the ninja world have ventured into.

He's roughly at the level of Nagato, who could have wiped out Konoha.

It's just like when he was still jumping around in the ordinary ninja level, his six-dimensional attributes were enough to easily beat most ninjas of the same level.

Nagato is at this level because he has reached this level in one aspect. At a higher level, both Yin and Yang attributes will definitely flourish.

However, their attribute points are all biased. If someone puts one point into Constitution, that's Constitution; the rest of their attributes have to be improved by themselves. But with Fifty Strings, increasing Constitution by one point will improve all aspects of Strength, Speed, Resistance to Strikes, Recovery, and so on.

We may appear to be equals, but in reality, I'm bullying the weak!

This level still falls short of Madara Uchiha's peak, including in terms of combat experience and specialized skills.

but!

Madara Uchiha wasn't at his peak; Hashirama Senju had long since openly and honestly met with his family.

And he, Yuge of Fifty Strings, is the leader of the will of the overlord who understands the most respect for the elderly and love for the young in the entire ninja world!

Mito Uzumaki gently placed her hand on Isogen's hair, her face kind as she tidied his slightly disheveled hair, which had been blown by the wind.

Isogen's hair is of excellent quality. The increase in his Yang attribute not only boosts his combat power but also continuously optimizes his appearance. Each improvement brings him one step closer to becoming an ultimate life form.

“I’m not very familiar with some of the people in the village now, but they are all reasonable people,” Mito Uzumaki said softly, smoothing a strand of hair.

Most of the current heads of the various ninja clans are her juniors. Being separated by one or two generations, they are not that close, and their words may not be as effective.

But that's alright, the younger generation doesn't understand the language, but she knows a little bit about martial arts.

Besides, she doesn't need to do it herself.

In her opinion, while Isogen might be temporarily at a disadvantage in battles of the same level due to a brief lack of experience in such combat, against the Jonin and clan leaders of Konoha, it would be a case of overwhelming them.

Even today, her gaze toward Isogen has never changed.

The child is adorable, but his growth rate is clearly unlike that of a ninja species; it's as if he had some kind of cheat code from a past life that hasn't been turned off.

Ninja battles are intelligence wars; theoretically, even a true genin (lower-ranking ninja) can defeat a jonin (high-ranking ninja) if they have enough intelligence.

After all, ninjas are also made of flesh and blood.

But Wuzhi's flesh and blood body seems to be quite different from the others.

The occasional bursts of Yang Release chakra were so intense that one wondered if he was human or a crystallized form of life energy.

Unless one is instantly killed, ordinary attacks wouldn't even pique Igarashi's interest. Once an attack capable of breaking through defenses is effective, the next challenge is facing the 'Sage Body' with its insane recovery speed.

However, it is unlikely that someone weaker than him could injure him, given his excellent reconnaissance abilities combined with the ability to transform his body into chakra through the Reverse Life Triple Technique.

Unless he actively seeks death, the only ones who can harm him are either experts of the same level or forbidden techniques that exceed the limits.

Mito Uzumaki always feels a deep sense of admiration whenever he thinks about the configuration of the Isogen.

Throughout the history of the ninja world, no matter how many years pass, someone like Ikgen is far too overpowered.

A hexagonal warrior isn't enough; top-notch software and hardware are essential, and a robust mechanism is also needed.

The left hand deals high damage, the right hand deals high damage.

The more they fought, the more desperate the enemy became.

With his powerful senses, Mito Uzumaki determined Isogen's current state.

If health is measured by the physical condition of the Fifty Strings, then almost everyone in the ninja world would be disabled.

Now, the items that were delivered not long ago can be displayed.

A letter.

“The Dark Division has investigated, and no one knows how it appeared,” Yakushi Nonou said softly.

That's almost impossible.

Konoha's reconnaissance capabilities are among the best in the ninja world. Yakushi Nonou usually comes here to accompany Uzumaki Mito. Since it concerns the elders and the Nine-Tails, even Danzo wouldn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

Kushina gazed at the letter with intelligent eyes, Hyuga Mizuki's face remained calm, Yakushi Nonou's eyes showed worry, and Uzumaki Mito remained as composed as ever.

Fifty Strings of Song...

"Is it possible that it was simply delivered by the messenger?"

The messenger, being relentlessly interrogated: Yes, yes, yes!!!

The nobles, still harboring ambitions, intend to join forces with the Hidden Cloud Village and activate their hidden power to target them.

The letter contained only one short sentence.

Turn it over.

[List of names included: ...]

"Nobles? Those guys are up to something again?" Kushina puffed out her cheeks and frowned.

Mito Uzumaki remained calm.

She never took the cricket aristocracy seriously from the beginning.

Hyuga Mizuki remained unmoved.

She had a deeper understanding of the nobility and knew that this was a magical creature that could spit out money with a single blow.

Yakushi Nonou was somewhat worried.

Putting aside the nobility, that's Kumogakure, a major ninja village that aims for second place and strives for first.

Isogen rubbed his chin, looking troubled.

"Tsk, this is troublesome."

Just as Yakushi Nonou was about to advise him to be careful, he heard him continue.

"I also want to go to the Land of Earth to buy some local specialties. With three options at once, it's so hard to choose."

As everyone knows, the "Fifty Strings and Remaining Songs" is a source of indecisiveness.

Then there's only one answer left.

"I want it all!"

"..."

Chapter 103 The Righteous Squad Assembles

Fifty Strings's mobility has always been maximized within permissible limits.

That very day, he approached Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was still in the Hokage Building, slammed the letter on the table, and declared that he wanted to form a team.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the words "Kumaku" on the letter for a long time, his anger rising within him.

You're a traitor!
