Konoha's task master

After lunch, several people chatted at the dinner table, mainly talking about the changes in the ninja world in the past two years and the reactions of the major ninja villages.

Uchiha Madara took away the tailed beasts from the four major ninja villages, depriving them of the weapons most suitable for the battlefield. However, Konoha blocked Uchiha Madara's attack, so there were more rumors in the ninja world.

That is, Uchiha Madara is actually conspiring with Konoha. This is the first step for Konoha to deal with the four great ninja villages. At first, no one believed these rumors, but the more they were told, naturally some people would be shaken to believe them.

Now that Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village have established diplomatic relations and become allies, Sunagakure Village has a faint tendency to move closer to them.

In short... although Konoha is strong, it is lonely.

During this conversation, Hatake Sakumo proposed reopening the kendo gym to give civilian students a fair way to obtain ninjutsu. For this... Yakumo chose to support it, but he would not teach others personally.

Who said that he is essentially a salty fish?

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yakumo set off for the Senju Mansion, while Mori Masako and Shyvana chose to stay at the Hatake Mansion. It was mainly Mori Masako and Nohara Rin who discussed the specific steps of the wedding.

Before leaving, Yakumo proposed to replace the kimono with a suit and wedding dress.

Pedestrians on the road are bustling and there is an endless stream.

Although Konoha Hidden Village has been isolated and helpless in the ninja world in the past two years, Konoha's housing prices have increased several times. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Senju Noshu re-planned three blocks around Konoha Village and sold them to

Earn a lot of money in your own way.

Of course, the stores on the street were allocated to the Ninja clan, which reaped high rents every year. The security fees and management fees of the three blocks increased Konoha's income, plus the steady flow of money from the Life Cells.

Konoha is very rich now, which has also greatly improved the treatment of ninjas, and Konoha's overall strength is also rapidly improving.

As Yakumo gradually approached the Senju Mansion, the once empty buildings took on the atmosphere of ninjas, and residences were also built in the open space behind.

It is said that... there are three families attached to the Senju Clan, who are responsible for building the houses of the Senju Clan and hand-making clothes for the core members. In addition, they are the exclusive ninja tool-making families.

The Thousand Hands provide funding and security, and they provide services.

The plants and rockeries in the residential area have also been renovated, and three additional training grounds have been built in the distance, where a dozen children are practicing shuriken throwing with their teachers.

These people originally only had the bloodline of Senju, but now they have abandoned their original surnames and been given the name of Senju. It can almost be expected that in more than ten years... the Senju clan will surely rise.

The strength of the Thousand-Hand Rope Tree is the best guarantee for the Thousand-Hand Clan.

Along the way, Yakumo felt several surveillance eyes. Apparently that person also recognized Yakumo's identity and did not stop him.

A few minutes later, Yakumo arrived at the hinterland of the Senju clan and saw Tsunade and Jiraiya who were instructing the Senju rope tree on the training ground.

"You're here, Yakumo."

Jiraiya stood up and greeted with a smile on his face.

"I have rescued Brother Minato." Yakumo replied.

"I know about this. Minato came to visit last night..."

Jiraiya and Yakumo were sitting on the wooden benches, looking at the center of the training ground where Tsunade was instructing Naoki to practice the Wood Release Ninjutsu.

"As you can see... the rope tree has lost the memory of the past few years, and even the wood release ninjutsu that he originally mastered needs to be practiced again." Jiraiya said.

"You should be able to master Wood Release in a few days."

Yakumo can sense the vitality in the rope tree, which is already faintly resonating with the surrounding plants. Although he has lost his memory in the past few years, his body's instinct has remembered to respond to nature.

"The current Naoki is more like the Naoki in my memory. Tsunade told me that Orochimaru used the body of the Naoki to act in the past two years."

Jiraiya suddenly thought of Tsunade's preference for the rope tree in the past two years, and felt uncomfortable in his heart. At the same time, he felt a little angry at Orochimaru's behavior.

"I'm still not sure whether Orochimaru has really been killed."

Yakumo thought for a while and replied, after all, there was a world where a strong man split his soul into nine parts and gained the ability to be almost immortal, but he also became crazy.

"We grew up together and he was our best friend, but now I don't have any friendship with him."

Jiraiya lowered his head and sighed, what Orochimaru has done over the years has indeed made him really sad. He actually deceived Tsunade...

"What's next...Tsunade-sama, do you have any ideas?" Yakumo asked.

Now that the Thousand Hands Clan has regrouped and risen, there is no reason to disband again, not to mention that the Rope Tree will have combat power comparable to the Six Paths level in less than five years.

This is a force that can sweep across Konoha, and its rise is unstoppable.

"Tsunade plans to let Naoki resign as Hokage in exchange for a seat on the Konoha Council of Elders. After all, Naoki's current mind is no longer suitable to continue to be Hokage." Jiraiya said.

Senju Naoki only had the mind of a fourteen-year-old before his death. Although he possessed extremely powerful power, he was still a naughty and immature boy on the inside, but he looked mature on the outside...

Orochimaru stole three years of his life.

"This is a good solution."

The Senju clan needs an elder seat to maintain their right to speak, and also to prepare for taking over the position of Hokage again in the future.

"But the rope tree doesn't agree."

Jiraiya smiled bitterly and said to Yakumo.

"Why is this?"

Yakumo was a little surprised. From the first year of Konoha to the present, there has never been a Hokage with only a fourteen-year-old mind. After all, he was the leader of a village, responsible for the order and development of Konoha, as well as external wars.

"Narutoki's dream is to become Hokage."

Now that he has realized his dream, he is definitely not willing to give up.

"this..."

Yakumo was speechless for a moment, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

"Fortunately... Tsunade is giving him extra lessons every night, and Tsunade and I help him handle the documents, so there is no trouble for a while."

Jiraiya was also complaining at this moment. He had always rejected the position of Hokage because it was too troublesome to become a flame, but he didn't want to help Naoki handle that file now.

"Hey, I did all this for Tsunade."

What Yakumo could say, he could only choose silence.

After all... Jiraiya can be considered a loving character.

"Yakumo, what do you think about this matter?"

At this time, Tsunade came to the wooden chair from the center of the training ground and asked.

The key to whether Senju Naoki can continue to serve as Hokage is whether Yakumo agrees. This is the weight of the strongest person in the ninja world.

"I have no idea... As long as there is no trouble in Konoha, I will not interfere in this matter."

Yakumo thought for a while and replied that his most important goal now was to prepare for the wedding. He didn't want to be distracted by other things, and there was no need to be distracted.

Coupled with the assistance of Tsunade and Jiraiya, even if the Senju Rope Tree is unreliable, it will not set back Konoha's economic development.

Even Tsunade and Jirai failed to stop the rope tree. Under a series of wrong orders, the development of Konoha's thorns showed obvious regression. At that time, he could unite the Uchiha clan and Hatake Sakumo to drive him down.

No matter what happens... Konoha is really in a dangerous situation, and as long as he is in danger, it is no longer a danger.

Since Tsunade wants Naoki to continue being Hokage, Yakumo must give this face...after all, this is her former mentor.

The Eye of the Soul suddenly opened and began to detect Senju Nawaki's body, from the inside to the outside... There was no trace of Orochimaru's aura, and there was no abnormal aura in the soul body. This was enough.

"That's good...thank you."

Tsunade expressed her gratitude very seriously.

"Wait a minute and help me check the body of the rope tree...whether there is..."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Yakumo found that the forgotten Tsunade was slovenly and lazy, but now in order to cultivate the rope tree, she became majestic and solemn, and her whole body smelled more like a strong woman.

Jiraiya next to him was about to say something, but Tsunade confirmed her status with her eyes, and Jiraiya immediately lowered his head like an ostrich.

Seeing this, Yakumo couldn't help but secretly thought to himself.

"Jiraiya-sama is so cowardly, I'm afraid he will be suppressed for the rest of his life."

"Then I will continue to teach Rope Tree."

Tsunade didn't pause but turned around and said.

Originally, she wanted to introduce Naoki to Yakumo, but for some reason... Naoki was a little afraid of Yakumo. When he noticed Yakumo, his body naturally trembled slightly unnaturally.

Although he had no memory of the past two years, when he was sleeping under the water of the Heart Lake, he felt a divine and demonic aura, and the terrifying figure faintly merged with the man on the wooden chair.

"The resurrection of the rope tree changed Tsunade and me."

"Although Tsunade seems happy every day, she looks less and less like the Tsunade I remember. Can you believe it...she hasn't gone to the casino to gamble in two years."

"This...is really not in line with Tsunade-sama's character."

Yakumo sighed softly, of course not only Tsunade, the Jiraiya beside him was also very different from the character image in the original work.

What happens in the environment can affect character and determine the future.

"Who says it isn't?" Jiraiya continued, and then he took out a can of beer from the storage scroll and started drinking. The expression on his big face was very complicated.

"How are Konan and Nagato doing lately?" Yakumo continued to ask.

"The development is quite good. Some time ago, Nagato practiced the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan, and his strength has been greatly improved. Konan's medical ninjutsu has also become much stronger. Many wandering ninjas have taken the initiative to seek refuge. Now Yuyin Village is surrounded by many

It is known as the sixth greatest ninja village."

Jiraiya's tone became a little proud when he mentioned Konan and Nagato, and the decadent look on his face quickly disappeared, becoming full of energy.

"That's not bad."

With Yakumo's intervention, the tragedy of the two people has been reversed, and there is no longer a feast of 640 billion detonating talismans.

"By the way...do you remember Uzumaki Rina?" Jiraiya said.

"of course I remember."

He rescued Uzumaki Rina in Kusagakure Village, and his original goal was to exchange her with Uzumaki Kushina for the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique to solve Masako Mori's problems.

"She joined Konoha Hospital some time ago and is now the backbone of the life cell manufacturing team... It is said that she has taken your place."

Yakumo suddenly remembered... He was actually a current employee of Konoha Hospital, but he just took a long leave of about two years.

"Then does she have someone she likes now?"

"Of course not..." Jiraiya shook his head.

This is true, after all, Rina Uzumaki is a person who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. On the surface, she looks soft and weak, but on the inside, she is quite persistent, and it is difficult to change the things she is determined to do.

"Are you having any drama with Tsunade-sama?"

"What show?" Jiraiya asked.

"Of course it's a love story..."

"Hahaha...this is..."

Jiraiya's face suddenly became a little shy, but he couldn't express it.

"Congratulations, I'm going to see the rope tree."

Yakumo took a few steps forward and came directly to the center of the training ground.

Senju Nōki quickly formed seals with his hands, and the chakra in his body was operating in an orderly manner, but he was unable to successfully use the Deki Ninjutsu.

"Failed again."

After a few seconds, the flow of chakra became disordered, and Senju Nousuki's face became a little ugly. But when he saw Yakumo, a strong fear quickly appeared on his face, and he almost subconsciously teleported to Tsunade's side.

behind...

"I can't understand...why are you afraid of me?" Yakumo asked.

"Um...I can't tell you. I just think you are scary."

Senju Naoki poked his head out from behind Tsunade. He was obviously taller than Tsunade, but his movements were very much like a child's.

"Forget it, it's not important."

"The most important thing in practicing Mu Dun is to understand nature and resonate with the surrounding plants, and to feel the emotions of the plants with your heart."

Yakumo took the initiative to guide Nao Shu. Although he felt fear from Nao Shu, this fear did not contain any malice.

This is a simple and pure boy.

"It's probably like this..."

Yakumo snapped his fingers and made a crisp sound.

Along with this crisp sound, the trees around the training ground suddenly began to grow, the area covered by the tree canopy continued to expand, the trunks became thicker, and the dense leaves fluttered in the wind.

Senju Nōshu was surprised by the changes in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the great grandfather in his memory... It seemed that his great grandfather was not as easy to use Wood Release as the person in front of him.

He only felt that the fear in his heart became stronger, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.

"The most important thing about Mudun is that your heart must be in harmony with nature. Forming seals is not a necessary process. You must believe in your heart."

Yakumo continued to explain, but Tsunade's face turned a little helpless.

"Naoki, don't listen to his nonsense...Using ninjutsu requires extremely high talent and proficiency. You still have to use the seal now."

The meaning of Tsunade's words is very simple... Muji Ninjutsu belongs to the category of genius, and she wants Naoki to practice Ninjutsu with this goal.

"What I said is right...the most important thing in Wooden Ninjutsu is the heart!"

"Rose Tree, don't listen to his nonsense!"

"Okay, okay...I will listen to my sister."

Yakumo spread his hands, and the growth of the surrounding trees stagnated. He really intended to teach the rope tree to practice wood escape, but it was a pity that they didn't believe him.

"Ahem, I also think Rope Tree needs to practice the formation and coordination first..."

Jiraiya spoke at this time, bringing the conversation between the three to an end.

"Let me check your body."

Yakumo couldn't help but grabbed the rope tree and suppressed his resistance. The soul energy suddenly spread into the opponent's body. After careful inspection, it was finally determined that... there was no soul breath belonging to Orochimaru in his body.

At the same time, he nodded to Tsunade next to him.
