He was in Konoha, exuding an aura of dominance.

Fifty Strings raised an eyebrow, "You're very brave."

"Add an extra serving of premium dog food, the kind that makes you stuffed."

"Woof! Woof!!" the ninja dog barked excitedly.

In a daze, everyone seemed to hear what it was shouting.

After dealing with the second-generation thugs, he turned to Uchiha Aoen and the other man: "You can't handle them. Go back to the police department to get them."

The two Uchiha's eyes instantly cleared, their backs straightened, and they stood tall and proud: "Loyalty!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent; he roughly knew what the Hyuga clan had sacrificed.

At this moment, the sealing team came over carrying a thick stack of explosive tags.

"Lord Hokage, the explosive tags on the seal."

"Thank you." Isogen accepted it quite naturally and put it away as if nothing had happened.

I almost forgot about this.

Hiruzen Sarutobi forced a friendly smile and asked casually, "Yu Ge, where did you get all these explosive tags? Did you have any special connections?"

Fugaku Uchiha shrank back.

The 50 million taels of explosive tags cannot be delivered all at once in a short period of time, but it is reasonable to give it a start.

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, he inwardly shook his head frantically.

No, no, no!

Isogen grinned and gave a thumbs-up to Fugaku Uchiha, who was trying to dodge.

"Anything made by the Uchiha clan is guaranteed to be of the highest quality."

Upon hearing this, the Uchiha seemed to have gained approval, and they raised their heads slightly, still looking smug.

Uchiha Fugaku stood at the front of the line, and under the watchful eyes of his clansmen, he could only display the composure typical of the Uchiha clan.

In reality, his hands, which were behind his back, were sweating profusely.

"..." Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't even want to talk about how many times his head had been throbbing.

The Uchiha clan is showing signs of integrating into the village, and the second-generation members of the various ninja clans are becoming increasingly close and cooperative.

In the foreseeable future, Konoha will surely shine because of them.

But why, why does he have such a splitting headache?

Suddenly, he looked up sharply, his sharp gaze seemingly returning to that of a thirty-year-old, piercing through layers of obstacles and locking onto Tsunade, who was hiding behind him.

……

"Hey, did you steal...make money again?"

Because she was watching the spectacle and didn't stop the capture, Tsunade leaned close to Isogen's face and asked in a low voice.

"This money isn't yours."

"No way! Let's talk this out. Give me the money, and I'll take you on a rampage!"

Tsunade puffed out her cheeks: "Then why didn't you set off an explosive tag and fireworks this time?"

Isogen looked at her strangely: "How do you harvest leeks after you've used me once? Second use, third recycling, fourth transformation, do you understand?"

Tsunade suddenly realized, then became excited: "Then call me next time. With that much money, I'm sure I can afford it."

thump.

A marble hits Tsunade on the forehead.

Mito Uzumaki narrowed her eyes slightly: "I couldn't subdue your grandfather back then, but now I can't handle you?"

Tsunade chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, Grandma."

A middle-aged woman acting cute and coquettish.

"Hmph, hand over what Yu Ge gave you before. Keeping it in your hands will only lead to waste."

Tsunade cried out in despair.

He looked at Isogen with a resentful gaze.

It seems that her status in the family has been declining ever since this kid came to live there.

Ignoring her spendthrift granddaughter's wailing, Mito Uzumaki turned to look at the monkey.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, sitting as he had in the past, smiled wryly and said, "Lord Mito, about the Hyuga clan matter this time..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mito Uzumaki snorted coldly, "What? Is it something to be proud of to compete with a child?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless and could only continue, "But after all, the impact of this incident is terrible, with so many explosive tags."

"Some of these were given to me by this old woman. Do you have a problem with that?"

“…No.” he said softly.

Mito Uzumaki will not let him off easily.

"Because of a child's joke, he made a big deal out of it, and as a result, he was defeated by a single ninjutsu, taking down many of the clan's top fighters. Why wasn't the Hyuga clan so formidable back in the day?!"

"Even the Uchiha clan acknowledges and respects Yu Ge's strength. Has the Hyuga clan surpassed the Uchiha clan in this regard?"

Mito Uzumaki considered herself reasonable, but Hyuga was simply too disappointing.

'That's just an illusion created by the strength of the Fifty Strings' Yuuka.' Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself.

Because of their strength, they regard the fifty strings as an equal in age.

The real problem is that Gojūgen's actions completely lacked the Will of Fire, and there was no indication that he considered Hyuga as a comrade... or so it seemed.

He caught a glimpse of Hyuga Mizuki out of the corner of his eye, who looked like a porcelain doll.

Mito Uzumaki was fully aware of Hiruzen Sarutobi's feelings.

Rounding it off, she practically watched this monkey grow up.

It's simply a concern that Wu Shixian doesn't consider the village his home and doesn't value his fellow villagers.

Because he is too strong, both in terms of talent and strength, his strength is completely out of the ordinary.

As one of the earliest children when Konoha was founded, Hiruzen Sarutobi witnessed the talents of his predecessors and naturally knew just how extraordinary Igogen Yoka's talent was.

It's no exaggeration to say that he's practically the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths.

Therefore, he worried that this genius who could make Konoha great again would not be close to Konoha.

But if you ask her, when has Isogen ever cared about Konoha?

A year of getting along with someone gives you the insight to see into people's hearts and the ability to sense good and evil, as well as emotions.

The fifty-stringed Yu Ge she knew only cared about a select few people.

Chapter 78 You are not qualified to be kings

Mito Uzumaki did not answer this question.

The answer should be found in the Fifty Strings of Yuge.

We can talk about other things with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"That technique."

"Yu Ge created it himself; I didn't participate."

It is no less powerful than the Reverse Rebirth Triple, and even far surpasses it in large-scale battles.

He valued the potential of this art in warfare.

The area-of-effect, deadly toxin from the Salamander Hanzo, which originated from a summoned beast, still terrifies him; what if someone else were to learn this technique?

"Impossible. They don't have the qualifications to become kings. They can't even touch the threshold of Conqueror's Haki."

Wu Zixian's tone and expression clearly showed his disdain.

Mito Uzumaki could sense the firmness in his heart when he said those words, clearly believing that the other ninjas lacked the qualities of that unknown king.

The idea of ​​"cherishing one's own possessions" doesn't apply to the fifty-stringed instrument. Even if one were to throw away all that he knows and let others learn from him, no matter how hard they try to catch up, they still wouldn't be able to defeat him.

Almost no ninja can master Conqueror's Haki.

The few who might be like Madara Uchiha or Kakuzu are probably people like that.

Why is there a Kakuzu?

His attitude towards money is well-known and widely praised.

Suddenly, Wu Zixian froze.

[Great Overlord, have you already spread the magnificent radiance of your will to rule over those mountains strewn with wondrous rocks? Oh, how exhilarating!]

Mountains covered with strangely shaped rocks.

Could it be the Land of Earth?

Mito Uzumaki was still tirelessly trying to enlighten Hiruzen Sarutobi, acting as a know-it-all.

"Don't the young people in the village all get along very well?"

“That’s true.” Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in agreement.

The proud Uchiha and the lazy Nara, the impetuous Inuzuka and the silent Aburame.

Regardless of their relationship with each other, the ninja clan members quickly became acquainted under the powerful catalysis of Isogen.

Konoha has been established for over thirty years. Although it has experienced two large-scale wars, many of the original elders have remained.

Having all lived through the chaotic era of ninja clan wars, the hatred between them had become tangled and intertwined like a tangled thread, impossible to unravel or break apart.

As time goes by, it is passed on to the next generation.

The most typical example is the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

We still don't get along.
