He was in Konoha, exuding an aura of dominance.

"Young people these days are amazing," she said with a smile, asking casually.

"What did the Hokage say?"

The ANBU member lowered his head and replied, "The Hokage seems very pleased and has threatened to send Iwagakure to attack."

"Not bad, she does resemble a Hokage somewhat." Mito Uzumaki nodded.

In the shadows, look at the nose with your eyes, and the heart with your nose; let the left ear take in the information and the right ear take it out.

Meanwhile, in Iwagakure Village.

"Old Zi, oh Old Zi!"

The guard in the shadows looked helpless.

"How many times has this happened to Lord Tsuchikage?"

"Including the times when Lord Zi had just left the village, it must have been fifty-three times."

"Sigh." X2

In the office, Onoki sat in his raised office chair, his expression shifting, his dissatisfaction with Old Purple reaching its peak.

You're perfectly capable of running off to become a wandering monk, so be it. With the strength of a Kage-level expert and the special abilities of a Jinchuriki, you can escape unscathed from the vast ninja world unless you fight to the death or your ancestral graves explode and you encounter a super-powerful figure like Madara Uchiha.

Why did you get involved in my plans?

Even if you get involved, why don't you run away when things turn against you? What's the point of having those two legs? Are you really just acting recklessly because Jinchuriki are tankier than ordinary ninjas?

Now they've got it.

While Ōnoboru was in great pain, he was also relieved that Konoha hadn't killed Rōshi outright, otherwise Iwagakure would have lost a tailed beast.

Even if the tailed beasts can be resurrected and people can be organized to capture them and recreate Jinchuriki in the future, the ninja world is so big. What if the Four-Tails is resurrected in a sparsely populated area or in the territory of another ninja village?

"Damn Danzo, could this be a trap they set together?" Onoki wondered.

Although the Root ninjas are well hidden, the major ninja villages have their own methods for identifying Konoha's Root and Anbu.

The reason is that Danzo's reputation as the darkest figure in the ninja world has spread too far, and since a ninja's chakra attributes can be reflected through their spirit, anyone who is willing to spend some time can find a Root ninja among a group of ninjas.

Therefore, he knew who had approached Iwagakure earlier to discuss cooperation, but everyone tacitly kept quiet about it.

After all, Konoha's White Fang is out of the question; he's too strong, impossible to defeat. But those Sharingan eyes are valuable assets. If they could capture them alive and bring them to Iwagakure to be used as sex slaves, they could eventually have their own Uchiha clan.

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

He still couldn't understand what it meant for a kid from Konoha to single-handedly fight and capture Roshi without Sakumo Hatake intervening.

Is that correct?

This isn't right!

But if you say this is a smokescreen, then the message was sent back by his own secret agents, and besides, no normal person would spread such false information.

The cunning frog keeps touching your belly.

There's only one truth! This news is true!

Konoha has produced another genius!

It might not be the one that's publicly known, but it definitely exists!

"..." Ohnoki's eyes flickered between light and shadow, uncertain and unpredictable.

Memories of the past caught up with him; the experience of standing like a ghost at the gates of Konoha that year seemed like yesterday.

Was Madara Uchiha this strong at that age?

He didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

The deaths of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were a cause for celebration in the ninja world, like the collapse of two great mountains.

But if such a powerful figure were to appear in Konoha again, he simply couldn't bear to imagine what that scenario would be like.

When Madara Uchiha was still alive, he wanted to unify the ninja world, but was stopped by the God of Shinobi. However, there is no God of Shinobi in this era, and that brat is not Hashirama Senju.

Onoki knew that his current thoughts were a little frightening.

Having lived most of my life, I've actually developed a sense of apprehension towards a mere brat from Konoha.

But who knows the truth about how he was blocked at the gate of Konoha when he was young? He was afraid! If Konoha really produced another person like that, he was afraid that he would get so excited that he would suddenly stretch out his legs and go to meet his ancestors in Iwagakure!

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Onoki slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes sharp as if he were a detective who had just received a case of infidelity in the middle of the night.

He couldn't bear to watch Konoha grow stronger and do nothing!

"Go and call the heads of each department here."

Since things have come to this, let's redeem Lao Zi first.

At the border of the Land of Fire, after exchanging words with the ninja who came to make the handover, the group watched as the ANBU, carrying the tightly bound Old Purple, sped towards Konoha.

The fifty strings conveyed deep emotions.

Although they had many unpleasant experiences during the battle, and although both sides had been fighting to the death not long ago, as a well-behaved child raised in the spring breeze, he had no interest in the weak who had lost the power to resist.

...Actually, Lao Zi has already squeezed out all the oil and water he could have squeezed out this month.

Ha, useless thing.

Sakumo Hatake glanced sideways.

Did Fifty Gen just say something like a little devil quote?

“Now that the mission is accomplished, let’s…” Hatake Sakumo slowly began.

Their mission was to bring back the intelligence agent, Yakushi Nonou, and secondly, to find the spies hiding in the shadows.

Spies are no longer being considered, unless that spy is brave enough to step forward now that the Four-Tails Jinchuriki has been captured, and besides, this is a side mission.

So, after solving and exceeding the main questline, they should now be...

"Back to the village."

"Let's go, Tanabata Street!"

Two places that are not exactly the same, but completely unrelated, were put together.

Chapter 49 If it's too difficult, then don't do it.

“Tanpaku Town is not a suitable place for ninjas.” Hatake Sakumo frowned slightly.

Although he was a repressed ninja skilled in the Thousand Years of Death technique, he didn't completely abide by the three ninja prohibitions, and in private he neither smoked nor drank alcohol.

But he really didn't appreciate Tanabata Street, and even kept his distance from it.

Tanzaku Town is located in the southwest of the Land of Fire, not far from Konoha Village. Besides the well-known Tsunade's Pleasure Street, it also has hotels, amusement parks, izakayas and other entertainment venues, making it a bustling town where ninjas can easily make mistakes.

Sakumo Hatake rarely comes here.

Moreover, in principle, ninjas should return immediately after completing their missions without delay.

But the fifty strings do not listen.

"Ninja Code? What's that? Students don't know."

If Konoha were filled with ninja academy graduates like you, it would be just around the corner for the ninja world to be ruled.

Uchiha Aoen thought to himself, "This is a bad omen."

In other words, Wuxian has no idea what he's thinking. If he did, he would definitely give them a proper lesson on the key points.

As is well known, the plot will be triggered once the number of geniuses in Konoha reaches a certain threshold.

Genius or traitor?

If everyone in Konoha were like him, replacing thirty doors a day in the Hokage's office would be considered Danzo's muscle weakness.

Minato Namikaze hesitated.

Although he was young, he knew that the previous battle of the Fifth String was of great significance. With the mobility of ninjas, as long as they noticed the movement on the border, relevant information must have already been sent to the desks of their respective knights.

After all, two days have passed since that battle, and the main problem is that the village has given orders to hand over and confirm the intelligence.

He had vaguely glimpsed a message in a letter sent by the Dark Guard telling them to hurry back to the village, but Ishigaki's actions were as bright as the brightest star in the night sky.

According to the fifty-string theory, that means you're always right, but when it comes to a real fight, who are you?

He is arguably the least stressed person in all of Konoha.

Sakumo Hatake vaguely guessed why Isogen was going to Tanzaku Street.

The princess did not go very far after leaving Konoha.

It wasn't hard to see Tsunade's condition from the perspective of the higher-ups; even the toughest ninja couldn't withstand the repeated deaths of those around her.

Ninjas are already under a lot of pressure, otherwise there wouldn't be the so-called Three Prohibitions for Ninjas, but in reality, how much they can abide by depends entirely on their own self-discipline.

Under intense pressure, ninjas are not allowed to find ways to relieve their stress. Even a Kage who is killed by his subordinate ninjas would applaud.

Therefore, everyone in Konoha who knew that Tsunade had left the village without permission to go to Tanabata Street to become a fat sheep remained silent.

It seems that Lady Mito asked him to persuade Tsunade to go back...

That night, the gambling den was decorated with red lanterns.

Looking at the eager-to-try Igogaku, Hatake Sakumo tentatively asked.

"You're just here to find someone, right?"

Fifty Strings remained silent, simply walking to the entrance of the gambling den.

The two security guards standing at the entrance of the gambling den were initially excited when they saw him, but their eyes lit up when they noticed the Konoha headbands worn by Minato Namikaze and the others.

"Hey, this isn't a place for a kid like you."

Snapped.

Isogen slapped the two security guards at the gate.

In most cases, Wushigen is very easy to talk to, but when is a rare exception? That's up to him.
