Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

So for the past month, Kagura's visits were like daily check-ups.

He would come to Hiruzen Sarutobi at a set time every day to receive the unsealed ninjutsu.

But what he couldn't tolerate was that a whole month had passed and the guidance still hadn't been completed.

So, his growing impatience finally erupted today.

Looking at Kagura, who was constantly venting her emotions, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally couldn't help but say:

"Hey!

All right.

I'm Hokage, after all. Don't I have any pride?

Haven't I been trying to find a solution for you all along?

Such powerful forces always need time to develop; can't you be more patient?

But his words were like setting off a powder keg, making Kagura even more agitated.

He practically leaped onto Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, tugging at his sleeve with his cat-like paws as he spoke:

"Tolerate?

How can I tolerate this?

Do you know that I'm hiding from Orochimaru every single day now?

That day, when he saw me, he was holding a large glass jar and asked me to give him some blood so he could study it.

That big glass jar could almost fit two of me inside.

Is that a blood draw?

He just wanted to trap me inside!

If I disappear one day, please search Orochimaru's house immediately.

"Maybe they can even find my specimen."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi cast a sympathetic glance at Kagura in front of him.

In reality, Kagura's irritability at this moment was mainly due to the pressure brought by Orochimaru.

After all, anyone would feel inexplicable pressure if they found someone creeping up on them when they went out every day.

Although Kagura was well aware of Orochimaru's nature, she knew that this was just Orochimaru's desire to conduct research.

However, he still shuddered when faced with Orochimaru's greedy gaze.

These days, because of Orochimaru, he has hardly wandered around Konoha.

After days of pressure, he finally unleashed his emotions on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, at this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi also realized that Kagura had indeed been a cat for far too long.

Putting everything else aside, what he announced to the villagers at the time was that Kagura was not in the village because she was on a mission.

But now a month has passed, and if Kagura doesn't show up soon, some people in the village might start to have ideas.

Putting everything else aside, if Fugaku Uchiha were to cause trouble, Hiruzen Sarutobi would also have a headache.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up Kagura, who was lying on his sleeve, and placed her back on the table.

After straightening his clothes, he finally spoke:

"Actually, it's not that there's no way..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt Kagura's sharp gaze directed at him.

Realizing Kagura's unstable emotions, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately continued:

"Actually, after a month of guidance, a lot of the chakra you sealed has been consumed."

The chakra within the Five Elements Seal in your body is now only about one-tenth of its original strength.

Originally, for safety reasons, I was thinking of waiting a few more days until that one-tenth of the guidance was completed before proceeding...

"No need, now!"

He was only halfway through his sentence when Kagura immediately understood what he meant.

Even if only one-tenth remains, the chakra contained within is still terrifying.

Therefore, from Hiruzen Sarutobi's perspective, he originally wanted to take the safest approach.

But from Kagura's perspective, he couldn't wait even a minute longer.

Seeing Kagura's unwavering resolve, Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped insisting and immediately stood up to hug her.

For safety reasons, it's obviously impossible for them to lift the lockdown here at the Hokage Building.

Even if it's only 10%, if that energy leaks out, the building would probably be destroyed instantly.

Half an hour later, Hiruzen Sarutobi brought Kagura to a vacant grassland outside Konoha Village.

Seeing that this wouldn't affect any location, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction.

He put Kagura down and began to draw some strange symbols on the ground.

A moment later, he drew a huge magic circle with Kagura as the center, composed of numerous runes.

As for the person involved, Kagura was squatting in the center of this huge magic circle.

After writing the last stroke, Sarutobi finally wiped the sweat from his brow, looked up at Kagura, and said:

"Okay, it's done."

Next up is the reopening ceremony!

As he spoke, he began to walk towards Kagura.

But Kagura shook her head and refused:

"That's enough, Sarutobi-sensei."

I'll do it myself from now on.

When Kagura called him Sarutobi-sensei again, Sarutobi's lips twitched slightly.

This realistic guy...

Where did your tantrum and fighting go?

However, after a moment's thought, he stopped insisting and immediately took a few steps back.

In fact, during this time, Kagura had already learned the ninjutsu to unseal the seal.

Now that someone has already drawn up the most complex ninjutsu formation for him, the rest is actually quite easy.

He lowered his head slightly and began to activate the chakra within his body.

To ensure everything went smoothly, he even borrowed the energy of the three tailed beasts.

A moment later, two streams of chakra, one blue and one white, began to slowly flow around his body.

At this moment, the Five Elements Seal slowly appeared on his abdomen.

As he silently chanted, the runes of the massive magic array surrounding him, like a giant net being pulled in, quickly disappeared into his body.

Just after the runes completely disappeared from his body, Kagura suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously raised his hand to block the light, a huge explosion rang out.

A small mushroom cloud appeared where Kagura had been standing.

The wind pressure generated by the violent explosion flattened the entire grassland in an instant.

As the smoke slowly dissipated, a familiar figure came into view.

Chapter 83 The cat in the house is missing...

On the main street of Konoha, Tsunade hummed a song as she walked happily towards her home, carrying the groceries she had just bought.

More than a month has passed since the armistice, and the wounded who have been discharged from the battlefield have been mostly treated.

Therefore, Tsunade's daily workload is not that heavy.

She's been acting more like a civil servant lately, clocking in at the hospital every day from nine to five.

However, she thoroughly enjoyed this kind of life.

For her, the life of being able to see her loved one when she returned home after work every day gave her a strange sense of satisfaction.

Therefore, her hospital duties decreased significantly, and Tsunade refused whenever Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted her to go on missions.

After all, the war had just ended, mission requests from all over the country poured into Konoha like snowflakes.

During the years of war, many commissions were stalled due to the tense situation.

Therefore, after the ceasefire, the mission requests that had accumulated over the years suddenly came flooding in all at once.

In fact, it's not just Konoha that's like this.

The five major powers have all been facing an explosive increase in commissions recently.

On the one hand, it's due to the accumulation of time; on the other hand, it's because these clients have no other choice.

It's quite strange, really.

It was clearly the five major powers that started the war.

But after years of war...

Smaller countries like the Land of Rain and the Land of Fields, where the war broke out, suffered the consequences.

These small countries looked as if they had been bombarded by massive explosions, leaving only devastated lands after the war.

As for the combat strength of these small countries themselves.

Or, like the Land of Rice Fields, they don't have their own ninja village.

Or, like the Land of Rain, because of Hanzo's choice, the entire ninja village disappeared and hid in the darkness.

Before the war, many clients would occasionally choose ninja villages in these small countries because of the price.
