Konoha's task master

The first day of May, Sunday.

As soon as Jiraiya and Yakumo stepped into the gate of Konoha, ANBU appeared and took Jiraiya away. Now Sarutobi Hiruzen has too many things that he wants to know through Jiraiya.

Yakumo directly led Uzumaki Rina to Namikaze Minato's house, and handed Uzumaki Rina to Uzumaki Kushina. This could be regarded as completing his original plan.

"Can I see you again in the future?"

Rina Uzumaki lowered her head and asked Yakumo.

"We should see each other often."

Yakumo responded. "Remember... practice hard."

He deeply understands that in the ninja world, only by holding power in your hands can you have the right to choose.

After a few seconds, Yakumo continued.

"You must practice hard."

"Uh-huh!"

Rina Uzumaki smiled happily.

At this time, the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put his hands on the table and looked at Jiraiya with eyes filled with scrutiny. Jiraiya, on the other hand, lay facelessly on the sofa with his head raised and looked at each other with Sarutobi Hiruzen, very much like he was about to contradict his father.

Rebellious youth.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't pay attention to Jiraiya's rudeness.

The atmosphere between the two seemed very delicate. The silence of this confrontation had lasted for a long time. Hiruzen Sarutobi had many things to ask, but he knew that Jiraiya would not confess easily.

"Ahem." Sarutobi Hiruzen cleared his throat.

"Who is the person who helped you in Caoyin Village?"

In the distance, there were lush old trees and green grass, and the green waves undulated with the breeze. But with Hiruzen Sarutobi's questioning, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point.

"I don't know." Jiraiya shook his head and replied.

"A few months ago, that man appeared in Konoha and wounded me. Not long after, he also appeared in Amegakure Village. He was probably the murderer who assassinated Elder Danzo. Do you really not know that?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said at the station

He stood up and stared at Jiraiya and asked coldly.

"I don't know." Jiraiya spread his hands.

Jiraiya knew the identity of that person, Sarutobi Hiruzen was extremely sure of this, but for some reason Jiraiya was unwilling to confess.

"Hey...cough cough cough cough."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat slumped in his chair. He looked at the tall and burly Jiraiya. He didn't say anything but just shook his head silently.

At this time, the light shone through the window, and the shadow of Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was not tall, was reflected on the floor, looking so rickety and thin.

Jiraiya's eyes moved slightly, a little unbearable.

"I really don't know, but I guess he has no ill intentions towards Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes moved quickly, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he asked casually.

"Then why did he kill Elder Danzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were gentle, but they contained murderous intent. As long as the mysterious man was found guilty of assassinating Danzo, Konoha could issue a reward to the entire ninja world for him.

From the initial inspection and inquiry to the current deliberate show of weakness, Sarutobi Hiruzen had only one purpose, and that was to know the true identity of the mysterious man through Jiraiya.

Jiraiya slowly shook his head and said very firmly.

"He had nothing to do with the death of Lord Danzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and stared at Jiraiya.

Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen clearly understood that the person in front of him was no longer the simple boy who was at his mercy, but the Toad Sage who had commanded great battles and carried out hundreds of S-class missions.

"I've really grown up." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.

It turned out that he had ignored Jiraiya's growth all these years, because Orochimaru and Tsunade were real geniuses, making Sarutobi Hiruzen proud of them all the time. But compared to the two of them, Jiraiya was much bleaker.

He always makes jokes and laughs out of place, like a child who never grows up.

But today... that child has grown up and is even capable of fighting against him. Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.

Sarutobi Hiruzen... waved his hand.

This was to drive people away, and the master and the disciple separated unhappy.

"Old man, you are already in your fifties, why don't you retreat from the rapids and go home to enjoy family happiness."

Before leaving, Jiraiya tried to persuade him. Of course he couldn't betray Yakumo. After all, they were both partners of justice.

Sarutobi Hiruzen played with the pen in his hand and his eyes were erratic. After Danzo's death, Sarutobi Hiruzen obtained the direct command of the roots. From then on, the roots became his own private army, at the cost of his promise to avenge Danzo.

"The Yondaime..." Sarutobi Hiruzen began to think.

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, Orochimaru is currently the best fourth generation candidate, but in terms of reputation and support rate, Orochimaru is slightly lower than Hatake Sakumo.

"Perhaps, we really need to consider training the fourth generation..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his slightly sore shoulders and sighed. After being injured this time, he could clearly feel the decline in his body's recovery function.

On the other hand, the Namikaze Minato family.

Several people gathered around the dining table to eat various kinds of sushi made by Kushina Uzumaki. Beside them were beef, vegetables, and fresh fish with bamboo skewers inserted into them. They were being smoked and heated by the fire, and the aroma was overflowing.

Uzumaki Rina soon became friends with Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato, and Uzumaki Kushina expressed her solemn gratitude to Yakumo.

The Uzumaki clan has been exterminated, but Uzumaki Kushina is, after all, the granddaughter of the former Uzumaki clan leader. Although she does not need to rebuild the Uzumaki clan, taking care of the clan is her responsibility.

Not long after, Jiraiya pushed open the door and entered.

Join the dinner party.

Yakumo took a sip of kelp soup, and the fragrance gradually washed away the spicy taste in his mouth, while Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya drank low-alcohol sake, white mist steamed, and the oily meat dripped into the charcoal fire, crackling.

Yakumo put down the soup cup.

Grilled beef wrapped in vegetables...swallowed in one bite.

"Rina...this child has a good talent. Kushina must not hide her secrets in the future." Jiraiya drank sake.

"Nonsense, Rina is a member of my clan, and I also want her to have more children and rebuild the Uzumaki clan."

Uzumaki Kushina patted her chest in assurance.

Uzumaki Rina beside her turned slightly red and lowered her head.

"Don't worry...Master, we will take good care of her."

Namikaze Minato divided the remaining sake in the bottle into two and poured it into Jiraiya's glass.

"Haha, that's good, that's good."

"Come and drink!"

The two clinked their glasses and drank it all.

After the meal, a few people went out.

Uzumaki Kushina has her own residence in Konoha, but she often stays at Namikaze Minato's house, and now they are going to Uzumaki Kushina's house.

Konoha Village is still so peaceful and peaceful, like a paradise in the chaotic ninja world. Perhaps because there are so many people around, Rina Uzumaki is a little shy, but she just follows Yakumo silently.

Wow.

Uzumaki Kushina opened the door. Her residence in Konoha was actually very large, and it was located in the central area of ​​Konoha. Next to it was the residence of the Senju clan, and the Hokage Building not far away could be vaguely seen.

This residence was different from Uzumaki Kushina's rough nerves. Yakumo could tell that the place had been carefully tidied up and filled with girlish elements and warmth.

And...the emblems of the Uzumaki clan are everywhere.

"Lina will live in the bedroom on the second floor from now on."

Uzumaki Kushina said.

"Okay." Uzumaki Rina nodded.

By the way, Yakumo helped Rina Uzumaki tidy up the bedroom. The room was originally very clean and tidy, and there was nothing that needed to be tidied up. It was just a simple quilt.

"Thank you, Yakumo-kun." Rina Uzumaki said.

"You're welcome." Yakumo reminded again.

"Take care of yourself, and remember to practice hard."

"I know." Uzumaki Rina nodded.

After settling in Rina Uzumaki, Jiraiya found an excuse to slip away, leaving only a few young people behind. Finally, Kushina Uzumaki decided to buy some daily necessities for Rina Uzumaki and buy some new clothes in the afternoon.

.

Several people were walking through the shopping streets of Konoha, choosing clothes for Uzumaki Rina. Yakumo carefully discovered that among the many colors, Uzumaki Rina preferred blue. Within a few hours, he chose three blue short-sleeved coats, and he and Nam Feng Shui

The door is transformed into a bag-carrying machine.

Night falls.

After several people had dinner at a barbecue restaurant, Yakumo set out on his way home alone. The chakra rushing in his body could not conceal his mental exhaustion. No matter in that world, the fighting power that women erupted when shopping was so extreme.

horrible.

Yakumo unlocked the door and gently opened the door. Masako Mori was still sleeping on the sofa without any image. Next to her was an even more imageless breast ball, but the furniture had become completely new.

"Crack!"

The water ball the size of a fist hit the surface of the milk ball's body. The latter immediately jumped up, its hairs stood on end, and its eyes were full of vigilance. But when it saw Yakumo who was smiling coquettishly, it immediately used all its limbs to pounce with all its teeth and claws.

Up.

Yakumo exerted force with his feet, dodging the attack very nimbly, and at the same time, he struck the bulging white belly of the milk ball with lightning speed.

"Meow~"

Milk Ball was a little dissatisfied, but he was still hugged by his backhand. Just as he was about to struggle, he suddenly remembered that Yakumo would bring him a big meal every time he came back.

"Have a big meal...have a big meal..."

"There is no shame in bowing your head for food..."

Yakumo rubbed the milk ball for a while, then took out the special delicacies collected during this period from the scroll... and fed it to the milk ball.

Beside him, Masako Mori had already woken up.

"Are you not injured this time?" Masako Mori asked.

"Of course...you know my...strength is not bad."

"That's good."

Masako Mori seemed to be relieved.

"Let's go and treat you first."

Yakumo pulled Masako Mori to the bedroom. The latter was lying on the bed obediently. Yakumo's hands glowed with green light and gradually wrapped Masako Mori's body. The Yang Escape chakra in Mori Masako's body became even larger.

Chakra also becomes more powerful, which is not a good sign.

The battle between the two is also a tempering process, but it is a pity that Masako Mori, as the container, cannot bear the consumption of the collision between the two.

The green light of Palm Senjutsu gradually nourishes Masako Mori's body, and the master's use will still reduce chakra consumption to a certain extent. Masako Mori left the dormitory half an hour later with a rosy complexion, followed by Yakumo with a normal face.

"Meow?" Milk Ball was surprised at Yakumo's change.

Feel proud...

Yakumo thought to himself that the most intuitive benefit of breakthrough in palm sensibility is... from now on, he will never leave with a pale face.

"Let's go and chat in the yard."

"Okay." Yakumo said.

The two of them were lying on the roof, looking at the stars in the sky. It was not just the stars. From this position, one could see the hazy shadow of the death forest in the distance. The trees there were all tall and full of vitality, as if they were competing with the heaven and the earth.

At this time, the weather is just in the early summer, and the breeze is not dry.

Yakumo began to tell Masako Mori about his experiences during this period, from Kusagakure Village to Amegakure Village, and finally talked about the believers of the evil god underground in Yuno Country. After all, he still cannot understand the true face of the evil god.

During this process, Masako Mori was very patient. She just held the pillow with both hands and listened to Yakumo's experience. Occasionally, she would show an interested look on her face and ask a few questions. She would also subconsciously react because Yakumo was in danger.

Clench your fists.

During this process, Yakumo has always subconsciously ignored Uzumaki Rina. Although his relationship with Uzumaki Rina is innocent, saying it will definitely make Masako Mori unhappy, so it would be better not to say it at all...

Half an hour later, it was Masako Mori's turn to talk about what happened in Konoha Village during this period.

After the second grade of the Ninja School started, kunai, shuriken and senbon throwing were added to the curriculum as examination subjects. One of the three must be chosen as a required subject for the examination, and the study of basic three body skills was added as a future

Graduation subjects.

Through Masako Mori's narration, Yakumo learned that during this period, Uchiha Obito was practicing under the guidance of Hatake Sakumo, and his strength increased rapidly.

Unfortunately, she is still no match for Masako Mori. Yakumo estimates that Masako Mori, at full strength, can rival Kakashi.

"By the way, Obito opened the Magatama Sharingan."

"What's going on?" Yakumo asked in surprise.

After hearing this, Masako Mori sat up and scratched her head in embarrassment before speaking.

"Some time ago, during a sparring session, I accidentally struck too hard and beat Obito to tears. He squatted on the ground and cried... and opened his Magatama Sharingan."

"I see... Nohara Rin was with you at that time, right?"

Yakumo asked back.

"That's right, Lin was the one who comforted Obito later."

Masako Mori lowered her head guiltily.

Yakumo was a little strange. According to his experience with Masako Mori from several discussions, Masako Mori would not completely lose her mind after entering that kind of excited state.

"Let's... let's compare," Yakumo said.

"OK."

The two jumped into the courtyard and began to fight head-on.

Half an hour later, Yakumo shouted to stop, and he began to observe Masako Mori carefully. The bloodshot eyes in her eyes dissipated very quickly, and her eyes returned to clarity.

"Yakumo, your current strength is so terrifying..."

Masako Mori sighed with lingering fear.

"I have to make do...I'll help you treat it first."

Green light reappears.

But Yakumo looked puzzled. He didn't understand why Masako Mori accidentally beat Obito to tears.

At this time, he didn't know that he was the only one in the world who could restore Masako Mori's calmness from madness with just one sentence.

Yakumo sent the latter to the door...

Masako Mori suddenly stopped,

Looking at Yakumo's face, he seemed to be reminiscing.

Then he asked casually.

"I'm curious…"

Masako Mori paused slightly.

"The girl who went on a mission with Yakumo..."

"Who is it?"

Yakumo was slightly stunned, a little surprised.

How could she know!?

"A member of the Uzumaki clan I picked up on the road."

Yakumo answered immediately.

Masako Mori had quickly turned around and blended into the night, climbed over the wall and jumped into her home. It turns out that serious ninjas never go through the door.

ps: Please give me a monthly ticket.
