Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

He was wearing a suit, his bald patch gleaming. He was no longer as arrogant as before; upon seeing them, he knelt down and begged for mercy.

Kakashi Hatake stepped forward and used genjutsu to control him.

He needs to find out where Cardo's treasure is.

However, the following process is not something that many people should know.

Especially Dazner.

Therefore, he did not ask for the time being.

"Mr. Dazner."

Kakashi Hatake said slowly, "According to the previous agreement, we will help you build the bridge."

"Thank you!"

Tazna rubbed his hands together and said, "You guys are really good people."

"But don't forget the terms we agreed upon."

Kakashi Hatake reminded him.

"Certainly not!"

Dazner nodded emphatically.

There are two conditions.

First, control belongs to Konoha.

Secondly, merchants from the Land of Waves are required to pay a certain toll.

In return, Konoha promised to provide protection and act as a bridge to help countries near the Land of Waves conduct trade.

Of course, merchants must issue commissioned tasks and provide rewards.

In short, Dazner sees this as a win-win situation.

[Achieve the achievement 'Master Zhihui, tall and strong,' and receive a reward of ten jin of Power Gu.]

[Ten-Jin Strength Gu: A second-stage Gu worm, of the strength type, which can increase a Gu master's strength by ten jin.]

Tall and hard?

I make money standing up?

Yu Nu Zhihui raised an eyebrow slightly.

Ten pounds is a bit too little.

Fortunately, it's a permanent increase, so it's not a bad deal.

[Achieve the achievement 'There has never been a savior' and receive the reward Iron Bone Gu.]

[Iron Bone Gu: A third-stage Gu worm, consumable; after use, it can harden the entire skeleton to the level of steel.]

There is still one?

Oil Girl Zhihui was somewhat surprised.

This reward is clearly better.

Although it is a one-time use Gu worm, its effects are permanent.

Now he truly has an iron will.

Yu Nu Zhihui seemed to be deep in thought.

The previous achievement corresponds to the method he proposed for making money for Konoha Village.

His second achievement was probably because he saved the Land of Waves, but not completely.

In essence, Konoha Village is still Gato, only with gentler methods.

"Leave the rest to the Dark Division."

Kakashi Hatake cleared his throat and said, "We've just been through a fierce battle and need to rest for a while."

Actually, he was a little overwhelmed.

His battle with Zabuza Momochi had depleted too much of his chakra.

If it weren't for saving face in front of outsiders, he would have collapsed and fallen fast asleep long ago.

"Ok."

Uzuki Yugao had no doubts.

“I have taken control of Kado, and he is now willing to answer any questions.”

Kakashi Hatake added, "You should know what the Hokage wants."

"I see."

Maoyue Xiyan nodded.

As for Class 7, they rested at Kado's mansion.

You Nuzhihui sat cross-legged on the bed.

He opened his hand, and in his palm lay a Gu worm, the Iron Bone Gu.

Once the Ten-Jin Strength Gu is placed in the hollow orifice, it will take effect, so there's no need to worry about it.

But the Iron Bone Gu is different; it is a consumable item.

With a thought, You Nuzhihui unleashed his true essence.

The true essence of a third-level Gu Master is called Silver True Essence.

He was a high-level third-stage cultivator, but because of the Seven Fragrance Wine Worm, his true essence was at the peak of the third stage, hence its snow-silver color.

As the name suggests, it is silvery like snow.

The Iron Bone Gu was submerged by true essence, and its body gradually disappeared.

You Nuzhihui felt a strange current flow through his entire body in an instant.

His bones underwent a fundamental change.

"But how do we test it?"

Oil Girl Zhihui stroked her chin, thought for a while, and finally gave up.

This is completely asking for trouble.

He doesn't need to do it.

"If only I had the Corpse Bone Vein technique."

Aburame Shiki thought of Kimimaro.

This Iron Bone Gu is a perfect match for him.

After a day of rest, Kakashi Hatake's chakra finally recovered.

The four of them did not linger and returned to Konoha Village.

As for the Land of Waves, the Anbu will naturally handle it properly.

……

Kirigakure Village.

Mizukage's office.

"That's just the way it is."

The squad leader of the secret service reported.

"Did Konoha beat them to it?"

Mei Terumi rubbed her temples.

Since taking office, she has left behind a mess.

Not only is the village of Wuyin depleted of talent, but it is also extremely poor.

Terumi Mei decided on a policy of opening up.

She naturally noticed Kado, that big gold pig.

But unexpectedly, Tsunade beat her to it.

This one step costs hundreds of millions.

My hands are shaking today, and my heart is aching.

"Contact Konoha Village."

Mei Terumi took a deep breath and said, "Try to get Zabuza and Haku back."

Two in one.

Chapter 137 Only Time Makes You Realize Your Short Legs (First and Second Updates)

"I'm finally back."

Naruto's spirits lifted, and he said, "As expected, Konoha Village is more suitable for me."

Although they were quick to get things done, the round trip still took them almost a week.

Taking Tazuna to the Land of Waves, in particular, wasted two-thirds of the time.

At first, Naruto was very excited, but after a while, he wanted to go back to Konoha.

Uchiha Sasuke nodded slightly.

He agrees with that statement.

Having been away from the village for so long, he misses the warmth of home and the three meals his mother cooks.

When on missions, at Kakashi Hatake's request, and also for safety and convenience, they rarely eat hot food, usually just rice balls or similar dishes.

"Class 7 will have two days off to rest well."
