Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

"Fuck... light source!"

He made a major discovery and finally understood where the light in this environment came from.

"Thank you, White Fox."

Jiraiya thanked him and quickly rushed over there.

As the distance got closer, the light became clearer and clearer, and he could see clearly that there was a tree glowing over there, and more importantly, there was a house next to the tree.

"anyone there?"

After a while, Jiraiya arrived in front of the house. He shouted loudly first, and when he found that no one responded, he pushed the door and walked into the house.

Then he found the kitchen and tears welled up in his eyes... Damn, he finally ate something that humans should eat.

After eating and drinking his fill, Jiraiya walked around the rooms of the house, finding signs of life, but no one.

Apart from the house, the strangest thing here was the glowing tree, so he left the house and started climbing the tree, wanting to reach the top to see if there was any possibility of leaving.

however……

For some reason, the more he climbed, the more he felt weaker. After a while, he fell from the tree and fainted under it.

To be honest, although the sacred tree growing here is not comparable to the original sacred tree of the Ten-Tails, for ordinary people to come into such close contact with it is purely a suicidal act.

Jiraiya contributed all the chakra that he had accumulated with great difficulty to the little sacred tree.

What's worse is that the position he is lying in is very problematic, which means that every time he recovers a little chakra, some of it will be sucked away.

If Yu Zhen had not returned in time, Jiraiya would have faced the fate of never waking up and turning into fertilizer.

The sacred tree is much more powerful than the man-eating plant. It not only digests the bones of the unlucky person, but also absorbs all of his energy.

…………

Yu Zhen was not in the other space at this time. He was in Konoha Village because he received an urgent notice that something big seemed to have happened.

In a conference room on the top floor of the Hokage office building.

When Yuzhen arrived here, Uzumaki Mito and Hideyuki, who were advisors, and Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was the Hokage, had already arrived.

It has almost become a rule that people who can use space-time ninjutsu are more likely to be late.

Yu Zhen looked around and suddenly found that the advisory group was all his own people... Although they were also "his own people", Uzumaki Mito was a little independent, while the other advisor, the Hyuga clan leader, was independent.

As for now, Uzumaki Mito has become the "descendants" of Hane, while the Hyuga clan leader is struggling to survive and his life is coming to an end.

Well, in the two years since Senju Tobirama's death, as Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to mature, the advisory council had transferred almost all of the power that originally belonged to the Hokage to the Third Hokage.

In theory, the power given out cannot be taken back. Konoha is currently in the era where the third generation Hokage is in charge... well, in theory.

This is vividly reflected in the ability to obtain intelligence. In the past, all kinds of intelligence would be handed over to the Hokage through the advisory group, but now the situation is reversed... To be honest, the former is a special measure under special circumstances, and the latter is a normal phenomenon.

Konoha's advisory group is very sensible and does not cling to power...Here is a good counterexample.

In the original timeline, there was a man called "Genshi" in the Hidden Mist Village. This old man was born about 20 years before the establishment of Konoha. Then, after the Fourth Mizukage disappeared in the "Blood Mist Incident" and before the Five Kage Conference had to send the Fifth Mizukage, he had been holding the power of the Hidden Mist Village.

Why does a dying person still cling to power? Whatever the reason is... This is normal.

"What happened? Why do you have to ask me to come to the meeting?" Yu Zhen asked immediately after entering the meeting room.

He had already made it clear that he had retired. Don't look for him if there is nothing to do, and it's best not to look for him if there is something to do... Since his wishes were ignored, it meant that not only was something wrong in Konoha, but it was something big.

"Lord Yuzhen, the situation is indeed very serious."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pointed to an intelligence ninja beside him and continued:

"You come and explain the situation."

The identity of this ninja who brought the information was very interesting. He was neither a Aburame, Inuzuka, or Yamanaka, nor a Hyuga ninja, but a Sarutobi ninja... Well, the first three were Hotaru, and Hyuga was in the advisory group.

"Yes, Hokage, and all the advisors, we have just received a communication from the Hidden Cloud Village. According to them, two of the Hidden Cloud Village's Chuuriki have gone berserk and out of control, and appear to be heading towards the Land of Fire. Therefore, they are issuing a routine notification to us..."

Look, this is the role of Sarutobi Ninja. His reports are in order, and the order of "Hokage-sama, all advisors" is very accurate.

If it were any other ninja, as soon as they saw Yuzhen was here, they would definitely start their report by saying "Lord Yuzhen".

Well, back to the intelligence itself,

Routine announcement? A disclaimer is more or less the same. The tailed beasts of Kumogakure are the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails. It's normal for their Jinchūriki to lose control. Even if they lose control, they can escape the control of the village. What a coincidence that they ran to the Land of Fire?

"It must have been intentional. The Hidden Cloud Village has always been dissatisfied with the outcome of the last war. The so-called loss of control of the Jinchūriki must be some kind of provocative act." Hideyuki made this judgment directly.

"Do not worry……"

Yuzhen pulled Hideyuki back and said, "You are too arbitrary. How can you judge a person by his appearance? Don't be bound by the inertia of thinking. Analyze the problem rationally. Yunyin can't always do bad things, right?"

Besides, the Hokage should make the decision here.

"What about the identity of the Jinchūriki? Is there any information about it in the intelligence of Kumogakure?" he asked.

"Yes, Master Yuzhen... I heard they were two brothers named Kinkaku and Ginkaku."

Yu Zhen:

"..."

"Well, it was intentional."

Chapter 214 Back Wave

Yuzhen certainly didn't know that Kinkaku and Ginkaku could become the Jinchuriki of Kumogakure before. After all, this matter was inconsistent with his "memory", but there is no doubt that Kinkaku and Ginkaku definitely have the qualities to become Jinchuriki.

These two guys are ruthless. Even after being swallowed by the Nine-Tailed Fox, they can still feast on the Nine-Tailed Fox's stomach. The stomach contents, excrement, digestive tract blood and flesh are all no problem for them. They can sweep away hunger and be themselves again.

And even if we don't talk about such extremely wild things that can be recorded in the "Tailed Beast Horror Stories Collection", just talking about the other two things can prove the strength of these two people.

In the original timeline, these two people took advantage of the peace talks between Kumogakure and Konoha at the end of the First Shinobi World War to kill the Second Raikage and the Second Hokage... Senju Tobirama, who can use Flying Thunder God, can actually serve as a stepping stone in such an event.

So in a sense, Kinkaku and Ginkaku can be considered as Sarutobi Hiruzen's benefactors. In the original timeline, he became the new Hokage because of this opportunity.

"Regarding the matters concerning the Jinchūriki of various countries, Tobirama once specially compiled relevant information. If I remember correctly, the so-called Kinkaku and Ginkaku of Kumogakure seem to have the blood of the legendary Six Paths Sage flowing in their bodies..." Uzumaki Mito said this after a brief recollection.

"Sometimes the less you have, the more you emphasize something. This title is not important. What's important is that these two people are relatively capable." Yu Zhen said.

What six bloodlines? Not to mention the current Yu Zhen, even the previous Yu Zhen didn't care about such things...

From the Senju to the Uchiha, to the Uzumaki, as well as the ninja clan that was exterminated and simply had the surname "Hagoromo", the Kaguya clan of the Kirigakure, and so on, isn't the world full of Six Paths bloodlines? This thing is not surprising at all.

As for the so-called Six Paths Ninja Tools in the hands of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, they were most likely made by someone in the name of the Six Paths. It seems that Yu Zhen has never seen the Six Paths Sage use these little pieces of garbage with his own eyes.

But no matter what, Kinkaku and Ginkaku are quite powerful in themselves. In addition, they are good at using "magic weapons" and have become Jinchūriki. Their combined strength is still quite considerable... Based on the data on paper, there is a possibility that they can kill Senju Tobirama.

"Jinjiao and Yinjiao, how old are you?" Yu Zhen asked again.

In the original timeline, Kinkaku and Ginkaku had already died at this point, but it seemed as if Tobirama had just died not long ago, many things had changed, and now Kinkaku and Ginkaku were even still alive and well.

"He should be around fifty years old. If a high-level ninja naturally has a long lifespan, then normally this age would be when his chakra, combat experience, and overall strength would be at their peak," Hideyuki said.

Putting aside the unexpected factor of Yuzhen, it would be difficult for Konoha Village to deal with the enhanced version of the Gold and Silver Brothers after losing Hashirama Senju.

Theoretically, the normal way for these two brothers to die should be that after they successively defeated the Second Raikage and the Second Hokage, they were beaten to death by the heavy soldiers of the Hidden Cloud Village.

If Konoha wants to deal with them now, does it have to send out a large number of troops?

To be honest, even if Konoha defeated such an enemy with a large-scale battle, other ninja villages would see the decline of Konoha.

Well, the word decline is not quite accurate. It should be said that Konoha has lost its glory.

If an elite enemy attacks, Konoha's standard approach should be to "take it down single-handedly." Without this sense of composure, Konoha would have become "indistinguishable from the crowd."

"what do you mean……"

However, before Yuzhen could finish his words, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke first:

"Mito-sama, Hazuma-sama, Hideyuki-sama, although the enemy is strong, but our Konoha is not weak either... Can you let me handle this matter?"

Ok?

After Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, the other three understood what he meant... Although the third generation Hokage had already grasped the power of the village, his way of exercising power was rather soft because he lacked prestige.

It is understandable that Sarutobi Hiruzen is eager to achieve great things. After all, when future generations review the achievements of successive Hokage, they can't just write down the third generation's achievements as "completed the repair work of the Shadow Rock of the first and second Hokage", right?

Hideyuki felt that this decision was a bit hasty, but when he saw that Yuzhen was silent, he didn't say anything else... Since the Hokage had spoken, theoretically there was no room for the advisors to refute.

"The mission of stopping the invading enemy is the Hokage's responsibility... Sarutobi, do your best."

Yuzhen did not object, but instead took an encouraging attitude towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Yes, Master Yuzhen."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought he would encounter setbacks, but he didn't expect that the advisors all respected the position of Hokage, which made him relieved. However, the next one was Alexander.

If he wanted to become a Hokage like the second or even the first generation, then he must not lose the battle ahead.

Since the Hokage is willing to be the first person in charge, the old consultants naturally have nothing to say. There is nothing more to say about the meeting. Next, the Hokage is going to gather people and arrange specific blocking matters.

Yuzhen and the others left the meeting room, and other matters would be discussed after the Hokage made arrangements.

After the advisors went back to their homes, Hideyuki stayed behind Hane.

"Lord Hazin, is Sarutobi truly capable of dealing with an enemy like that? He is, after all, the Hokage of Konoha. If anything goes wrong, the consequences could be disastrous."

"Dealing with one enemy? It's fine, but I think two would be a bit difficult."

Yuzhen was also not optimistic about Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions. The enemies were not two, but a group, namely Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and the more than 20 elite ninjas they led.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen is considered a ninja of the same level as Kinkaku and Ginkaku, then where can Konoha find a second ninja of this level?

You know, if there was no butterfly effect caused by Yuzhen, the Gold and Silver brothers would call Senju Tobirama "a defeated opponent". Although this sounds unpleasant, the effect is the same as Yuzhen calling Uchiha Madara a deadbeat, leaving the other party with no way to refute... Madara is 100% a deadbeat, and Tobirama is 10,000% a defeated opponent.

The second generation was defeated, but what about the third generation? It's hard to say.

We can't let Uzumaki Mito, Hideyuki, or Haneko fight, right? Firstly, this would be against the Tian Gang, and secondly, having such an old man participate in the battle goes against the Hokage's philosophy of independent achievement.

"If Master Yuzhen thinks so, then why..."

"Xiuzhi, you have to accept your age and stop trying to be a stumbling block to young people."

Xiuzhi sighed. He was exhausted because he could no longer experience the feeling of unity and overcoming difficulties... Am I willing to take care of this shit? Retirement, I must find an opportunity to retire early.

"Lord Yuzhen, what do you think is Kumogakure's purpose in doing this? Using two Chuuriki as bargaining chips is a bit too big a game, isn't it?"

Yu Zhen put himself in Kumogakure's shoes and reasoned with their logic, then said:

"The Jinchūriki rebellion should be true. Kinkaku and Ginkaku are not content. Powerful and ambitious ninjas will certainly stir up trouble... Kumogakure is driving the Jinchūriki away, probably to take advantage of their own strategy."

"Driving the rebellious Jinchūriki to the Land of Fire isn't like putting chips on the table. The Tailed Beast distribution system was established by the First Hokage. Based on legal principles, Konoha must uphold the First Hokage's system. There's no reason for them to lead the charge in undermining it. Otherwise, they'd be turning history backwards."

"In other words, even if Konoha manages to defeat the two tailed beasts, they'll still have to return them to Kumogakure. Kumogakure might have to pay a price, but compared to the risks and uncertainties of dealing with the Jinchūriki on their own, this price is nothing. Just think of it as Konoha's salary... These people are calculating."

"On the other hand, Konoha cannot ignore the rebellious Jinchuriki of Kumogakure running around in the Land of Fire, so they must be eliminated... Kumogakure may want to take this opportunity to weaken Konoha's strength and prepare for the next Ninja World War."

These are all Yu Zhen's guesses, but Yunyin's ideas are probably pretty close to the truth.

"The next Ninja World War?"

Xiuzhi looked surprised, he felt like he heard a word that was theoretically very far away.

"Master Yuzhen, don't even mention the end time of the last Ninja World War. It has only been ten years since the beginning of the last Ninja World War."

"Isn't it normal for a Ninja World War to break out every twenty years? Konoha was established, the chaotic times ended, and then the First Ninja World War broke out in the twenty-second year of Konoha. Based on this, it can be inferred that the next Ninja World War will break out in less than ten years. Now is the standard brewing period for war."

Shit, Hideyuki stretched out his hands to count, and the feeling became worse and worse... It seemed that Lord Yuzhen was not joking.

"The chaotic times are over. I thought the one village, one country system..."

"It's just a lump sum withdrawal. The war situation has disappeared, but that doesn't mean the war has disappeared... It takes about twenty years for the conflicts to accumulate, and then the war will inevitably break out."

"I thought too simply. There really is no permanent solution to the war."

"Once and for all? Even a figure like the First Hokage, when faced with the question 'What have you accomplished in your life?', would only be able to come up with two or three things worth mentioning."

"Indeed, but Master Yuzhen..."

"Ok?"

"Are you standing too high? It feels a little unreal."

"That's what happens when you get older. You always like to engage in philosophical speculation."

…………

Kumogakure has always been aloof. As one of the five major ninja villages, it often does despicable activities such as trafficking women and children. It is the moral low point of the ninja world... There is no way, who made the people of the Land of Lightning like to sing and dance rap, play basketball, play leaf playing, and pretend to be righteous. They do nothing but claim to be the world police.

But Konoha had to deal with the problems caused by Kumogakure.
