Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Chapter 576 The "True Fragrance Law" applies to everyone.
This medical incident exposed numerous shortcomings in the management of Konoha Hospital, including serious internal corruption, rampant power-for-money transactions, and various violations of rules and regulations.
The emergency medical director, who was the catalyst for the incident, ended up in jail. All the illicit gains he had accumulated over the years were confiscated by the village. The hospital director, his direct superior, also bore undeniable responsibility and was suspended from his duties pending investigation.

Konoha Hospital took the opportunity to incorporate the medical department under Koharu Utatane's command and began a top-down reform, but that's another story.

Hokage's office,
Having shed her hospital gown and donned ninja attire, Senju Hisajin was reporting mission details to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Danzo, representing the Knight System management department, was also present to listen in.
"Why is he here too?"

Standing behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo's gaze fell on Gin Uchiha, who was eating snacks and drinking tea in the office lounge. An unnatural look flashed across his face, and he secretly nudged his childhood friend in front of him.
"This entire building was built by the Uchiha clan. Do you think you can stop him?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin acting like he was no stranger to him, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also a little troubled.

Sure enough, older people love to join in the fun.

"Tsk!"

Danzo's feelings towards Uchiha Gin, who had taught him since childhood, were actually quite complex.

On one hand, he naturally held him in high esteem, but on the other hand, because the other's appearance hadn't changed in decades, he now looked several years older than Uchiha Gin, making Danzo unsure how to face his mentor.
"Just act the way you normally do, and treat me like I don't exist."

Gin Uchiha, who was preparing sweet tea for himself, overheard Hiruzen Sarutobi and Gin's whispering. Understandingly, he told them to relax and not let his presence disrupt their daily work.
"Ahem. Senju Hisama, please report on the mission's progress."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice, forcibly forcing himself to ignore Gin Uchiha, and his gaze towards Hisana Senju sharpened.
Senju Hisa nodded and recounted the details of her mission. S-rank missions were child's play for her.

"There are a total of five S-level missions on this mission."

She quickly finished reporting the mission details. These were all simple assassination missions with bounties, and they weren't difficult at all.
After she finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"Also, I encountered a group of outlaws near the border of the Land of Fire."

"Outlaws?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo were taken aback. Wasn't the situation on the border very tense? Where did these criminals come from? Could they be spies from an enemy country?
"They call themselves Sky Ninja and have been illegally mining and smelting steel in the Land of Fire by crossing the border. I infiltrated and investigated and found that they were actually connected with Iwagakure and were planning to take advantage of the border crisis to invade Konoha."

Recalling the details of that time, Senju Hisa began her retelling.

"Sky Ninja? That small country that borders the Land of Earth?"

Frowning in thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi remembered a little-known country in the vicinity.

"Yes."

Senju Hisa nodded and recounted her heroic feat of single-handedly annihilating the Sky Ninja.

As one of the founders of Konoha, Senju Hisana, encountering such a potential threat to the village, naturally showed no mercy. After learning of the Sky Ninja's plot, she transformed into the Extreme Fox and unleashed her unstoppable mowing-down mode, annihilating the Sky Ninja's elite forces without leaving a single survivor.

Not only that, but in order to eliminate them completely, she followed the escape route of the Sky Ninja all the way to the Land of Sky and razed the Sky Ninja Village, which was undergoing construction in full swing, to the ground.

"Pfft! Wait, you really destroyed the Sky Ninja's hometown?"

While enjoying his tea, Uchiha Gin, upon hearing that Senju Hisami had single-handedly wiped out the Sky Ninja Village, couldn't contain himself and spat out his tea. Wiping his mouth in a flustered manner, he asked, full of doubt, "..."
Are you questioning my abilities?

Senju Hisama narrowed her eyes upon hearing Uchiha Gin dare to question her.
As expected, Uchiha Den is inherently evil.

"Don't get me wrong, I just wanted to ask, didn't you find any precious treasures in the Sky Ninja's hometown?"

Uchiha Gin still had some recollection of the name Sky Ninja Village, not just of the wild, muscular men and the effeminate men, but also of the artificial tailed beast Zero-Tails that looked like a maggot.
"Like those that are big and long."

He was very curious whether the current Sky Ninja had figured out how to create that tailless tailed beast.

"no!"

Before he could finish speaking, Senju Hisami denied it first. Uchiha Gin blinked and noticed a hint of nervousness on the other's fair face, and her ruby-like eyes were glancing to the side, seemingly unintentionally.
All of the above signs point to the same answer.
She is lying.

Uchiha Gin slowly walked up to Senju Hisama, holding a teacup, his deadpan eyes gleaming with an almost blinding light of justice.
“Look me in the eyes. Liars will swallow a thousand needles and never be able to lie again.”

Feeling guilty, Senju Hisami immediately turned her head away, and began to speak without thinking.
"I didn't find anything, neither large gemstones nor long gold bars."

"."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire office fell into a deathly silence. After what seemed like an eternity, Hiruzen Sarutobi broke the silence first.

"According to the village's regulations, unexpected income needs to be reported for tax purposes."

"I know."

Senju Hisa, her face ashen, nodded. Of course, she knew that she was the one who drafted and implemented this rule.

The boomerang she threw in her youth has finally hit her on the head; now she can only accept it and bear it.

"Only gold and silver treasures?"

Upon learning the truth, Uchiha Gin looked utterly dejected, a sight that made Senju Hisami's teeth itch with envy.

"Otherwise, what do you expect me to dig up some rare and precious medicinal herbs?"

If it weren't for this inherently evil Uchiha Old Man, how could she have gotten so many gold coins?

Those spoils were painstakingly looted from the Kongren's fortress.

"Why are you still angry? I'm just helping you to turn back from your wrong path. People with criminal records can't run for Hokage."

Seeing the furious Senju Hisama, Uchiha Gin gave her a heartfelt warning.
"You guy."

"By the way, I will send the bill for the consultation fee to your home tomorrow. Please remember to check it."

"I have no money, but you can take my life." The tax rate on unexpected income is terrifyingly high; Senju Hisa's hidden loot is probably less than a tenth of what it once was. Where would she get the money to pay for any medical fees?
Besides, handing it over to that bastard Gin Uchiha is pointless. It would be better to turn the banknotes into explosive tags and set off fireworks on the Hokage Rock.
"Please stop for a moment. Any economic disputes can be dealt with later. We are talking about serious business now."

Sensing the tension between the two, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately stepped in to smooth things over. His gaze fell upon Senju Hisami's injury assessment report in his hand, and his expression turned grave.
What kind of enemy could have possibly caused Senju Hisa, who single-handedly annihilated a small ninja village, to be so badly injured?

"Who ambushed you? How many of them came?"

Senju Hisami frowned, slowly raising two fingers. Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils immediately contracted.
"Two thousand? Could it be twenty thousand?!"

"Two people."

"Nani?"

Danzo, who was listening in, couldn't hold back any longer. He didn't believe that just two people could beat Senju Hisami, the Nine-Tails Knight, half to death.
"Although there are only two of them, they are not ordinary people."

Gently shaking her head, a hint of resentment flashed in Senju Hisami's eyes.
"I was attacked by two tailed beast riders, the Four-Tails from Iwagakure and the Eight-Tails from Kumogakure."

"That's a foul! How dare they?!"

Upon hearing that the culprit was a Tailed Beast Knight, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo exclaimed in shock.

Kamen Rider Decade has explicitly forbidden knights from fighting for the sake of war. At this sensitive juncture, the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Cloud Village are actually attacking Konoha's Tailed Beast Riders. They're completely disregarding the code of chivalry.

"Unfortunately, our fight did not violate any rules."

Senju Hisana was naturally aware of the rules established by Decade, and until she figured out the mysterious knight's background, she chose to obediently follow the knightly code.

"why?"

"Because it is their mission, battles that occur when knights encounter each other during their missions do not violate the code of chivalry."

Having thoroughly understood the details of the Knight's Code, Senju Hishin sighed deeply. If she hadn't pushed into the Sky Ninja's hometown, she wouldn't have encountered the attacks of the Four-Tails Knight and the Eight-Tails Knight.

Senju Hisana was actually quite unlucky. Before she wiped out the Sky Village, she had just made contact with the Iwagakure Village. To show their sincerity, the Sky Village spent a lot of money to invite the Iwagakure Village's Tailed Beast Riders to the village to provide guidance.
On the other hand, the research and development department within the Sky Ninja Village, in order to create a powerful weapon, specifically drew inspiration from the design of the Cloud Ninja Village's cannons.
The device was eventually successfully replicated, but then the energy problem arose; the Sky Ninja Village didn't have as many humanoid battery packs as the Cloud Ninja Village.

Left with no other option, the Sky Ninja Village gritted its teeth and spent a fortune to hire weapons experts from the Cloud Village for guidance.

And so, Onoki of Iwagakure and Nozomi of Kumogakure accepted the mission from Sora-ninja, but their purpose was not simply to provide guidance; they harbored ulterior motives.

Both of them planned to transform the Sky Country, located near the weak points of the Land of Fire, into a new strategic stronghold, thus increasing their chances of victory in the battle.

Unfortunately, fate was unkind. When the two arrived at the Sky Ninja Village, all that remained was scorched earth. Based on the descriptions of the surviving Sky Ninja, the two immediately identified the culprit.
"Please, you two, avenge everyone who has died!"

A surviving child stared with hatred in the direction Senju Hisa had left. He knew he couldn't take revenge with his current strength, so he placed his hopes on the late-arriving Onoki and his companion.

"I, Shennong, will definitely repay the two lords."

With that, the boy slammed his head hard against the ground, and the flowing blood instantly stained a large area of ​​the ground red.
Seeing this, a terrible thought arose in their minds. Onoki and Nozomi, who had already secretly formed an alliance, exchanged a glance and immediately agreed.
"I remember you are the son of the leader of the Sky Ninja, right? Your father entrusted me to guide your Sky Ninja training. I never thought that the last time we met would be our last."

Onoki feigned a sigh and stepped forward to help the boy named Shennong up, adopting the demeanor of an elder, instantly winning the boy's favor.

"Lord Tsuchikage, my father... he died a terrible death."

Recalling his father being slapped into a pulp by the Red Happy Type, Shennong instantly burst into tears.
"Don't worry, we will definitely punish the murderer severely and avenge your father, but..."

Seeing the heartbroken boy, Onoki exchanged a subtle glance with Nozomi beside him, then revealed a troubled expression.

"Does Lord Tsuchikage have some unspeakable difficulty?"

Wiping away the blood-stained tears from his face, the independent-minded Shennong calmed down somewhat.

"The attackers were Konoha's Tailed Beast Riders. We also want to avenge your father, but we knights have a rule that we cannot fight without cause, unless we encounter each other during a mission."

"I see."

Shennong quickly understood the reason behind it, and his expression immediately became serious.
"I am now issuing a mission to you two: to severely punish the murderers who wiped out our village. The reward is 35 million taels of silver."

"Received~" *2
After quickly signing the mission contract with Shennong, Onoki took Nozomi directly into the sky and headed in the direction where Senju Hisa had left. The two of them wanted to stop her before she entered the Land of Fire.

Being able to fly was indeed convenient. After searching for a while, Onoki and his companion quickly found Senju Hisami's trail and landed in front of her without saying a word.
The battle between knights needs no further explanation; the moment their eyes meet, a cruel battle of fate is about to erupt.

"henshin!"*3
"So, you got hammered into a pig's head by that little potato Onoki and that new Eight-Tails Knight?"

While eating his snacks, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but chuckle and mock Senju Hishima, who was half-beaten to death.

"Their victory was dishonorable."

Feeling a bit thirsty from talking, Senju Hisa got up and poured herself a cup of tea. As the sweet tea went down her throat, a hint of resentment slowly crept onto her face.
"If it weren't for the side effects of fighting that imposter before, those two guys wouldn't be a match for me at all."

The side effects of using two Tailed Beast Cards at once were quite obvious, directly causing Senju Hisama to perform at only half her usual level during her battle with Onoki and the other person.
Of course, she was being a bit too definitive in her statement.
Onoki is no pushover; the fact that he managed to survive until Boruto before leaving the stage speaks volumes about his skills.

Over the years, he has thoroughly studied the power of the Four-Tails. Even without achieving the same state of human-beast fusion as Hishima Senju, he can still unleash 80% of the power of a perfect knight.

Needless to say, Xi, who was at his peak, was able to take the Eight-Tails Card from Kinkaku, which shows that his strength had surpassed that of his senior brother, making him the number one in Kumogakure.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Jin Jiao wants to retire and that the first and second generations of the family might team up to use medical insurance for foot massages.

One is a magma potato that can fly and use dust escape techniques, and the other is a monstrous bull with lightning armor throughout. Senju Hishima's loss is not unjustified. If this combination were his older cousin in his knight form, he would probably have a headache.

Seeing Senju Hishima's defiant expression, Uchiha Gin, brushing the crumbs off his clothes, waved his hand magnanimously.
"If you didn't win, you didn't win. At worst, I'll go back and make you a new prop when I have some free time, and I guarantee you'll get your revenge next time."

"Really? Godfather! I'll get you some tea right away~"
