Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 81 Hiruzen: Am I really wrong?

More than an hour later, in the Konoha Hokage Building.

Maruboshi Kosuke cried bitterly, his eyes were red and swollen, and his intact eye turned blood red from crying.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned.

From childhood to adulthood, except for that time when he made a mistake, he had never seen Maruboshi Kosuke cry so bitterly.

Hey?

Just give some pointers to Jingyan, is the pressure so great?

Or maybe something happened this morning that I didn't know about.

There was no surveillance this morning, and such a big thing happened?

He helped Maruboshi Kosuke up in a daze.

"Gu Jie, what's wrong with you?"

"Hokage-sama, I want to be a jonin!"

"what?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen put his pipe aside, his face a mixture of confusion and shock, completely unable to believe what he heard.

Become a jonin?
you?
day!
Since becoming the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been planning how to resolve Maruboshi Kosuke's knot, but he never expected that it would come true now. But why did it happen...

But he knew nothing about it.

what happened?

Will everyone who interacts with Jingyan undergo drastic changes?
Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into deep thought for a long time.

Then, he motioned for Maruboshi Kosuke to sit down: "Can you tell me why? Before, you didn't want to become a jonin to atone for your past mistakes."

"I……"

Maruboshi Kosuke hesitated for a moment when the words came to his lips.

It was not a glorious thing to be taught and taught a lesson by an eight-year-old child, but when he thought of Jingyan's words, he immediately threw away his inner shame.

Compared with the meaning of "inheritance" and "protection", what does one's personal shame matter?
He said seriously: "I was educated by a child!"

Then he talked about his conversation with Jingyan.

After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen also fell silent.

Guard, inherit, the will of fire.

To be honest, he couldn't say it better than Jing Yan. The key point was, as far as he knew, Jing Yan thought so and did so at the same time. It was not just empty talk.

dust.

This literally tiny information about the organization had been handed to him by the Anbu, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a preliminary understanding of the organization's philosophy and situation.

Help each other to make progress and jointly protect Konoha.

That child is so similar to the second generation adults!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.

After a while, he sighed and said, "Gujie, with your ability and strength, you have already reached the standard of a jonin. You can be promoted to a jonin or even lead a team, but you have always been unwilling to accept it, so I can't do anything..."

"I have to thank Kyouhiko. He saved a jonin for me and the village!"

Sarutobi Hiruza said straightly.

Maruboshi Kosuke was very ashamed. As expected, he had been evading responsibility all along, being self-righteous and self-satisfied, and had not truly "atoneed his sins."

He lowered his head.

"Hokage-sama, I have another request."

"explain."

Seeing him turn around, Sarutobi Hiruzen was already very happy.

Not to mention one request, he would be willing to accept even two or three.

Maruboshi Kosuke said: "I want to write down my experiences and thoughts as cases, and include them in a book to warn children and Genin, so that they understand the responsibility of leading a team and the consequences of wrong commands."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprised, and then couldn't help but say: "Kosuke, you don't have to be like this..."

If this is the case, Maruboshi Kosuke's story will become like a "pillar of shame". When the next generation of children mention this name, the first thing they think of is not his contributions, but his past arrogance and mistakes.

How can he bear it?
Maruboshi Kosuke shook his head.

"This is the price I should pay. Moreover, if my insignificant personal contribution can help the next generation of children and ninjas understand the responsibilities and significance of a team commander, I will be willing to die!"

He is not afraid of sacrifice.

I’m afraid that I won’t even know what to do, and will be as confused as I have been in the past twenty or thirty years.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was deeply touched.

There was no such precedent in Konoha in the past.

but.

If we can compile some wrong cases into a book to warn ninjas, even if the impact on each individual may be weak and small, the accumulation of small amounts can still play a huge role.

He was silent for a long time and finally nodded.

"This is your courage and will. I have no reason to refuse."

With Maruboshi Kosuke's thinking, he would definitely not have thought of this. It must be Jingyan who was behind this.

It does not matter.

What matters is that Kyouhiko's decision is good for Konoha.

Then it's worth doing!

only……

This kind of thing should be based on the other party's consent, but not everyone has the courage of Maruboshi Kosuke. In the short term, his case alone is not enough to write a book.

"I will seriously think about how to push this matter, you don't have to worry. As for the matter of Jonin, it just so happens that the graduation exam of the Ninja School is coming soon. Do you want to take care of the child next year?"

"I follow the village's arrangements."

Maruboshi Kosuke stood straight.

Just as that child said, a true Jonin, the Will of Fire, has not only protection but also inheritance.

It's ridiculous that I'm in my forties and still need a child to enlighten me.

"Okay, then I'll give you three children, and you can help take care of them this year."

Sarutobi Hiruzen could hardly suppress his smile.

Maruboshi Kosuke was injured in the eye while performing a mission with him, so he lost one eye. Even so, he still charged into battle and only did the most difficult tasks.

Although he is still brave, in his opinion, Maruboshi Kosuke's value is far more than that.

Passing on skills is also an important task.

Coincidentally, there is a team that is currently facing reorganization.

……

【Carry out psychological therapy to help a ninja resolve his mental problems and get out of trouble.】

[With your help, he becomes a jonin and will take on more important responsibilities! ]

[Reward: Konoha Style·Yiu Upgrade]

No saliva wasted!
Jing Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Why did he chase all the way from the outskirts of the village to the memorial tablet? Wasn’t it just for this “tiny” reward?
Finally, the hard work paid off.

Konoha Style: Willow is increased by 1 level.

He integrated and understood the extra memories in his mind, and then an uncontrollable look of surprise appeared on his face.

This is--

Konoha Style·Ryanoo?

It seems to be different from Maruboshi Kosuke's.

When reaching a proficient level, Konoha-ryu·Ryu can channel stronger illusion effects after forming seals with one hand.

The effect of the illusion is stronger!

such as……

He himself had the idea of combining the Crescent Moon Dance with the Leaf Style and Willow's Style, and had demonstrated a semi-finished product of this before, but now, he could fully realize his desired state.

and many more?

"According to my thinking, the essence of Liu is to guide illusion through movements, and the seal is just a process of strengthening and simplifying the technique. Then, can the Dark Walk Technique be completed through similar means?"

Jingyan's heart was moved.

If the Dark Movement Technique can be combined, it will definitely be a powerful weapon for assassination. Even if it cannot be combined, if the movements can be combined with hand seals, the spell can be completed for a short period of time, which will also be effective against the Uchiha clan in the future.

You can explore and try further.

Everyone has his or her own method, and it is not necessary to require them to be exactly the same. Perhaps this method is more suitable for you.

……

The land of wind.

Ye Cang stood in front of the Third Kazekage, lowered his head and dared not speak.

The atmosphere was dead silent.

After a long moment, the Third Kazekage sighed.

"Forget it, I won't punish you."

"I should have seen what Master Chiyo is up to, but..."

"Don't blame yourself. This is Elder Chiyo's choice. It's useless even if you noticed it."

The Third Kazekage said soothingly, "She only has one grandson, and she had already made preparations when she asked for the body back."

He patted Ye Cang's shoulder.

"Don't worry."

"Yes!"

Ye Cang's voice was slightly choked.

This generation of ninjas in the Sand Village have more or less some relationship with Chiyo, or have received treatment from Chiyo.

How could she not be sad when Chiyo passed away?

and so.

She couldn't understand it even more.

As a grandson and a savior, Scorpion can be so indifferent, which is simply inhumane.

The Third Kazekage looked towards the Fire Country.

Let go of hatred, just to keep Scorpion alive.

Chiyo, I hope your grandson will live up to your expectations!

He sighed.

Then, the Third Kazekage raised his eyebrows.

"Where is Elder Chiyo's body? She should have returned to the village so that the entire village could see her off."

"Ah."

Scorpion flicked his fingers, and a human figure wrapped in cloth appeared behind him.

The Third Kazekage's eyes fixed.

"You don't even let your grandmother go?"

“This is timeless art!”

Scorpion replied calmly.

The Third Kazekage had sharp eyes and an expression of disbelief on his face.

Scorpion sneered and said, "What happens after death is meaningless. It is better to leave all that pomp and time to the living. I will return to the village, but if you want to stop my research..."

"I don't allow you to study human puppets. This is a dangerous taboo! Especially, our own people. If you dare to kill our own people for research, even if it's unfair to Elder Qiandai, I will kill you."

The Third Kazekage was firm in his attitude.

Scorpion put away the puppet behind him and turned to leave.

"There really is nothing to talk about with stupid people. It's my fault for thinking you're different."

Xia sneered.

The next moment, the Third Kazekage said: "If you want to provoke the people of Konoha, I advise you to put this idea aside."

"Oh?"

"The one guarding that place is Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas."

The Third Kazekage shared the information he had obtained.

He put away his left hand that was forming a seal and put away the hint of surprise on his expression.

Just now……

He used the power of magnetic escape to sense that the package behind Scorpion was not actually a human puppet, but an ordinary puppet made of iron and other materials.

Scorpion might not be what he thought. "Elder Chiyo would not want you to continue researching human puppets."

The Third Kazekage said earnestly, "Chiyo must have passed on the Kinmatsu Juninshu to you. With your level and talent, you can definitely create a better puppet than it."

"The Ten Kinmatsu Men..."

A trace of reminiscence and pain appeared on Scorpion's face.

The steps paused.

He held a scroll in his hand, with the words "Father" and "Mother" written on the surface of the scroll.

Surpass the Chikamatsu Ten People?

He showed a hint of smile on his face, followed by a cold snort, and whispered: "I will return to the village, but I advise you not to have any expectations."

Scorpio looked up at the sky.

"The eternal beauty I pursue is something you idiots cannot understand, so if you have nothing to do, don't bother me!"

After saying that, he opened the scroll and sealed the puppet behind him inside.

Scorpion took the scroll and walked into the desert step by step, heading towards the Sand Village.

The Third Kazekage was silent.

Lose one Chiyo in exchange for one Red Sand Scorpion.

Chiyo hopes that Sasori is the future of Sand Village, but is an uncontrollable top genius really a blessing for the Sand Village?

"Scorpion, why can't you be like that kid from Konoha..."

Also a top talent.

According to intelligence from the Anbu in the Sand Village, the child from Konoha is said to be already a Jonin at the age of eight, and his style of doing things is widely praised. Compared with Scorpion, he is simply the opposite.

"Hey!"

A heavy sigh was heard from the sand dunes.

……

Uzumaki Yuki stopped in front of a flower shop near Konoha Tea Street.

She looked into the house with bright eyes.

"Flower shop!"

Jingyan looked towards the name of the house.

Mountain flower shop.

"This is the property of the Yamanaka family. Why, do you like flower arrangement?"

"I like it, but..."

She smiled and didn't mention anything unhappy.

Then, after looking around for a while, she sighed and said, "What a pity, they don't hire anyone. I am quite talented in this area."

"Cooking?"

Jing Yan asked suddenly.

Uzumaki Yuki thought for a moment and said with a little excitement: "When I was a child, I often cooked for my grandma. She loved my cooking! In the past..."

Her voice suddenly stopped and her mood darkened.

"Forget it, I don't like cooking."

"Then let me ask you."

Jingyan said as he walked into the "Yamano Flower Shop".

A young, beautiful and extremely gentle woman was trimming branches in the flower shop. When she heard footsteps, she immediately stood up.

“Oh, yes…”

Yamanaka Rino glanced at Jingyan and vaguely remembered the identity of this child.

She looked outside.

“Come to buy flowers?”

"Boss, are you hiring? Apprentices, helpers, etc. My friend likes flower arrangement very much and wants to learn and work in your shop."

Jingyan introduced Uzumaki Yuki behind him.

Yamanaka Rino glanced at the other person.

Strange girl.

but.

This hair color looks familiar...

Ok?
Like the hair of the Uzumaki clan.

She immediately recalled the rumors about the housewives' department in the village.

A girl from the Uzumaki clan came to Konoha.

A friendly smile appeared on her face.

"I'm very idle here when I'm free, and very busy when I'm busy. It's no big deal to have one more person. Come in and chat."

"Thank you!"

Uzumaki Yuki bowed.

Jingyan made way for her to enter the house.

After a while, the two were chatting happily, and it seemed that there was endless stuff to talk about flower arrangement, but Jingyan was not interested in it.

He wandered around, looking at the flowers in the store.

After waiting for a moment, Jing Yan's eyes suddenly became stern and he turned his head to look in a certain direction outside the door.

He walked out the door as if nothing had happened.

Immediately, he stretched and secretly made a seal with his left hand.

Konoha Style·Ryanoo!

For a technique like this, the core lies in "illusion" rather than the sword, and it can be used as long as the conditions are met.

The next moment, he disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already at a position on the roof, with a blade drawn and pressed against a man's throat.

"who are you?"

"Kyohiko Jonin, my name is Yamanaka Misato, and I am responsible for monitoring and protecting Uzumaki Yuki..."

The voice was that of a woman.

So fast!

Just now, she saw people gathering on the street and immediately felt something was wrong. Unexpectedly, -

The next moment, the knife was against his body.

How could she dare to move?

"Miri Yamanaka?"

If you dare to say the name, it should be Sarutobi Hiruzen's subordinate.

"Yes, I am under the orders of the Hokage-sama to protect Uzumaki Yuki."

"Misunderstand."

Jingyan put away the knife calmly.

He thought it was Danzo's men and wanted to take this opportunity to intimidate them.

Since he is Sarutobi Hiruzen's subordinate...

That's fine.

Compared to Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen is more likely to follow procedures and won't act recklessly.

Just as he was about to speak, a figure suddenly appeared.

Wearing animal masks and all black.

Anbu ninja!
"Kyohiko Jounin, the Hokage-sama wants to see you."

"okay, I get it."

Jingyan glanced at the direction of the flower shop, then looked at Yamanaka Misato who was wearing a mask, "Thank you for your help."

"I hope you don't mind."

How dare Yamanaka Miri put on airs?

If this had happened on the battlefield, she would have been dead with that blow.

What a strong young man!
Jingyan nodded and instantly went down to say goodbye to Uzumaki Yuuki. The other party did not try to keep him but waved in greeting.

He took the initiative to disband the shadow clone.

……

Konoha, Hokage Building.

"Hokage-sama."

"Jingyan, ahem, sit down!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen calmed down and opened the window to dispel the smell of smoke in the room.

Then he bowed slightly.

"Kyohiko, I want to thank you!"

"What are you doing?"

"I've always wanted to solve the problem of Gu Jie, but I didn't know how to do it. I didn't expect you to do it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thanked him solemnly.

Jingyan shook his head, "I just can't bear to see a powerful ninja wasting his time because of some psychological problems and feeling sorry for himself."

"psychology……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly.

Before, he really didn't take "psychological" illness seriously.

Now it seems that he might have been wrong!
of course.

He didn't show it at the moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a scroll.

"Look at it."

"Yes."

Jingyan took it.

When he opened it, his expression suddenly became serious.

What was written above was the report on "Kurokawa".

"Transformed into an immortal?"

"Ah."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, "This is a special physique that has never been seen before, but at present, we have not found a solution. Even the sealing technique can only control a small part."

Most sealing techniques seal the chakra group, targeting a certain chakra meridian in the human body.

But in fact, Kurokawa did not know how to refine chakra. His "Sage Chakra" was spontaneously formed after absorbing natural energy. In this way, the sealing technique could not work perfectly.

Jingyan pondered for a moment.

"Can you consider letting him learn ninjutsu and control chakra, so that he can reach the point where he can control chakra?"

"Well, that's what we're doing now..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to say.

Outside the house, there was a knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly.

"Go to the jonin waiting room and wait for a moment. I have another mission that I need you to take care of later."

"Yes!"

Jingyan opened the door.

Outside the house, a man with a gloomy face looked down at him.

The two looked at each other.

The other party nodded slightly and then made way.
