Konoha's Hextech Ninja

The Nine-Tails' rampage led to the death of 'Nagakaze Minato'.

On the birthday of the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan's main family, Hyuga Hiashi killed an enemy who attempted to kidnap Hyuga Hinata in retaliation, but was demanded by Sarutobi Hiruzen to hand over Hyuga Hizashi's body as an apology to Kumogakure.

Naruto Uzumaki was unaware of these two major events, but Yamato was quite familiar with them.

When the Nine-Tails wreaked havoc, Yamato was still young and didn't know the specific details, but he knew the general process and the damage.

As for the Hyuga clan's affairs, it was a major event in Konoha at the time, and it even nearly sparked another war. Yamato was one of the witnesses.

These two incidents, in Yagami Yoruichi's hands, became yet another piece of evidence that 'Sarutobi Hitsuji was unworthy of his position'.

After reading the data, everyone present had a complicated expression.

Especially Hyuga Hiashi.

In the incident where Hyuga Hizashi died, it was actually Sarutobi Hiruzen who originally wanted to hand him over!

It was only because Hyuga Hizashi volunteered to die in his place that his life was saved.

Hiashi Hyuga couldn't imagine whether, if Hiruzen Sarutobi were still in the Hokage's seat, he would send the corpses of his fellow villager to the enemy to beg for peace if a similar situation were to occur again.

“I will not let these things happen. You just need to know this, there is no need to spread it outside.”

"It was Yagami Yoruichi who spoke."

“I have a question,” Uchiha Fugaku began. “Hokage-sama, Yoruichi-sama, judging from Yamato’s testimony, the mysterious enemy who controlled the Nine-Tails during the Nine-Tails’ rampage seemed to possess the Sharingan…”

“I believe this has nothing to do with the Uchiha clan.” Sakumo Hatake interrupted Fugaku Uchiha, saying, “Fugaku-kun, you don’t need to worry. As long as the Uchiha clan and the village are of one mind, the village will not suspect you without reason, nor will it do anything to you.”

"Yes, thank you for your trust, Hokage-sama." Uchiha Fugaku looked ashamed.

A mysterious enemy wreaking havoc with the Nine-Tails, a weasel that wiped out its clan.

The information obtained from another world has utterly humiliated the Uchiha clan.

"Don't worry, even if there are any enemies, I'll be there for you," Yagami Yoruichi said.

Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, Uchiha Fugaku's spirits lifted.

He had witnessed Yagami Yoruichi's attack firsthand. Although he had also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he did not believe he could defeat Yagami Yoruichi.

With Yagami Yoruichi around, it's definitely reassuring.

However, from another perspective, the Uchiha clan had no choice but to obediently follow the village's orders.

If you harbor any ulterior motives, you are courting death.

Chapter 204 Naruto's Daily Beatings, and the Scorching Release User, Yekura

"Wait a minute, Yoruichi-kun."

After the meeting ended, Sakumo Hatake called out to Yoruichi Yagami.

Just as Yagami Yoruichi was about to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, she heard Hatake Sakumo calling her and immediately interrupted her chakra chatter, asking, "What's wrong?"

"Regarding those Sunagakure ninjas."

Sakumo Hatake asked, "What are your plans for them? Are you just going to keep them locked up in prison?"

Yagami Yoruichi slapped his forehead: "Damn, I forgot about that."

In accordance with the terms of the peace agreement that Yagami Yoruichi forced Sunagakure to sign, Konoha held a group of Sunagakure ninjas hostage.

There were only a little over a hundred people, and most of them were young people.

Among them are direct descendants of ninja clans with deep roots within Sunagakure Village.

Or perhaps they are the young genius ninjas of Sunagakure.

This includes Yekura, a young ninja who has already reached the Kage level with his Scorching Release Kekkei Genkai.

However, after the incident of Naruto Uzumaki's time travel, Yagami Yoruichi completely forgot about it.

"Wasn't it handed over to Shikaku-senpai?" Yagami Yoruichi said, "Let them receive Konoha's education and ideology, and brainwash them as much as possible. When we release them back in the future, we can also use them to create divisions within Sunagakure."

Besides making Sunagakure Village hesitant to act, the most important reason for taking these hostages was the ideological impact.

They will eventually be returned to Sunagakure Village.

If, during their years in Konoha, they can gain the support of the younger generation from Sunagakure to embrace Konoha's ideology, then when they return to Sunagakure in the future, they can naturally be used to generate benefits for Konoha.

“Sending the younger ones to the ninja academy is no problem,” Hatake Sakumo frowned. “But sending the older ones to school isn’t really appropriate, is it? Especially that Yekura, such a strong ninja, sending him to the ninja academy would be a waste, and it’s not safe either.”

What's the point of having a ninja with Kage-level strength among a group of children?

After all, Yekura is a ninja from Sunagakure. It would be too unsafe to leave him with a group of weak children and ninja academy teachers.

"Yakura..."

Yagami Yoruichi thought for a moment and said, "Leave it to me."

A person of this strength would be safer if personally supervised by a Kage-level expert.

Even those of movie star caliber must remain vigilant at all times.

It's okay for a short time, but over the long term, it's unbearable.

Only Yagami Yoruichi's strength could completely overwhelm Yoruichi, and she could easily complete the task of guarding Yoruichi.

"As for the others, the younger ones will be sent to the Ninja Academy, and the older ones will be assigned some less important jobs and supervised and brainwashed by designated personnel." Yagami Yoruichi said her thoughts: "In short, we should try to get them to accept Konoha's ideals as much as possible. As for the specific details, Shikaku-senpai can handle them."

"Since you have your own ideas, then I won't interfere." Hatake Sakumo quickly wrote down the order and handed it to Yagami Yoruichi, saying, "Yakura is in the Security Department's prison. Go and take him away as soon as possible. Fugaku-kun has mentioned it to me several times already."

"Understood. I'll go after I send Naruto and the others away." Yoruichi Yagami took the order, activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, and left.

……

Namikaze Minato's house.

Minato Namikaze has been urgently recalled from the front lines.

When he saw that he had a son who was about the same age as him, Minato Namikaze's expression was quite complex.

However, after two days of contact, Minato Namikaze had completely accepted Naruto Uzumaki and even let Naruto move into his house.

When Yagami Yoruichi arrived, Namikaze Minato had just prepared a large table of dishes, ready to share dinner with Naruto.

"Looks like I've come at the wrong time?" Yagami Yoruichi said with a smile as he saw the two getting along so well.

"Lord Yoruichi."

When Minato Namikaze saw Yoruichi Yagami arrive, he quickly stood up.

"Ah, Yoruichi." Naruto Uzumaki's expression was very strange when he saw Yoruichi Yagami.

Because of her exceptionally strong physique, Yoruichi Yagami's development far surpasses that of her peers.

Naruto Uzumaki, on the other hand, suffered from poor development due to neglect and malnutrition during his childhood.

Judging from her appearance, Yoruichi Yagami seems to be older than Naruto Uzumaki.

So when they first met, Naruto Uzumaki always called Yoruichi Yagami "big brother".

As a result, when Minato Namikaze returned to the village, Naruto Uzumaki learned from him that Yoruichi Yagami was only eight years old, half his age.

Upon seeing Yagami Yoruichi, Naruto Uzumaki immediately shouted, "You actually took advantage of me, making me call you 'big brother' for so long!"

For some reason, Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but tease Naruto Uzumaki whenever he saw him, and said, "You're the one who said that, not me."

"Hey, you little brat, that's so disgusting!" Naruto Uzumaki shouted, his eyes wide. "You should be calling me 'brother'! Call me 'brother' now!"

"Naruto, be polite!!!" A fist came from behind and knocked Naruto to the ground.

Kushina Uzumaki forced an awkward smile and said to Yoruichi Yagami, "I'm sorry, Yoruichi-sama, Naruto is a bit immature."

Kushina Uzumaki has a bad temper, but it varies from person to person.

When facing Yagami Yoruichi, she was less likely to reveal her true nature.

"Lord Yoruichi." Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Minato Namikaze quickly tried to change the subject, asking, "Lord Yoruichi, is there some task you need me to do?"

“There really is a mission.” Yagami Yoruichi took out the mission document and handed it to Namikaze Minato, saying, “You are responsible for sending the Uzumaki Naruto team back to their original timeline through the Dragon Vein Seal of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.”

"Ah..." Minato Namikaze paused for a moment before taking the document, and said repeatedly, "Yes, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

"This task isn't very urgent, but don't drag it out for too long."

Knowing that Minato Namikaze was reluctant to part with Naruto Uzumaki, Yagami Yoruichi didn't urge him to leave immediately, but reminded him, "You must return to the front-line headquarters in ten days at most. The war there still needs your command."

If we only consider combat strength, with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya on the front lines, there won't be any problems at all.

However, Yoruichi Yagami did not trust them enough.

Minato Namikaze, as the general manager, is not a big deal if he leaves for a short time, but if he stays away for a long time, something might happen.

Ten days is enough time for Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and Naruto Uzumaki to spend time together.

Even after accounting for the time it takes to send Naruto and the others off to the Dragon Vein, they can still spend a few more days together.

Minato Namikaze understood Yoruichi Yagami's subtext and quickly thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Yoruichi-sama. I will complete the mission as soon as possible and will not delay the war on the front lines."

"When you get back, hand this mission over to Jiraiya." Yagami Yoruichi took out another mission document and a document, saying, "You can also take a look at this document; it's information brought by Naruto and the others, but don't divulge it."

"Lord Yoruichi..." Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment, then said, "Wouldn't it be bad to know about the future in advance? Wouldn't that change the future?"

“If the future is bad, why can’t we change it?” Yagami Yoruichi countered, then added, “As for your concern about the impact on Naruto’s world, there’s no need to worry. They don’t come from the future of our world, but from a completely different one. What happens in our world won’t affect them.”

"Is that so?" Minato Namikaze was skeptical, but didn't say anything more.

"If you don't understand the concept of parallel worlds, you can ask Orochimaru." Yagami Yoruichi was too lazy to explain too much, so she left after giving a few instructions.

After Yagami Yoruichi left, Uzumaki Naruto clutched his head, stood up shakily, and whispered, "It hurts... Mom, why did you hit me again!"

"Who told you to talk nonsense! How dare you talk back? Haven't you had enough of a beating yet?!" Kushina Uzumaki rolled up her sleeves, assuming a posture that suggested she was about to teach Naruto Uzumaki a lesson.

Minato Namikaze quickly stopped Kushina Uzumaki and urged, "Alright, alright, Naruto must already know he was wrong! Naruto, apologize quickly!"

Although Naruto Uzumaki was a bit dim-witted, he had been taught a lot by Kushina Uzumaki these past few days and was quite compliant. He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong! I'll never do it again!"

At the same time, he was screaming in his heart, "Help! Why are other people's mothers so gentle, but my mother is so fierce?!"

……

After leaving Minato Namikaze's house, Yoruichi Yagami didn't rush to find Yekura, but instead went to the Anbu first.

Yoruichi Yagami wasn't quite sure whether the world Naruto and the others first traveled to when they were chasing the Sunagakure rogue ninja 'Hyakuzu' was their world's 'past,' their own world's 'future,' or another completely different parallel world.

However, judging from the timeline, it will only take one or two years for the centipede to arrive in the ancient kingdom of Loulan, occupy the dragon vein, and thus perfect its puppetry skills, completely transforming the entire ancient kingdom of Loulan.

The ancient Loulan Kingdom, though called a "kingdom," was actually just a small city.

The areas outside the city are covered by sandstorms and are unsuitable for human habitation.

However, a puppetry technique capable of transforming an entire city, even if it utilizes the power of the dragon veins, must possess extraordinary capabilities in various technical aspects.

Yoruichi Yagami understood the value of technology better than anyone else in the ninja world, and naturally coveted the puppetry techniques mastered by the centipede.

If Konoha could obtain such technology, its value would be far greater than if it were in the hands of Centipede.

That kind of puppetry could even greatly accelerate the process of industrialization, allowing the areas under Konoha's influence to enter the industrial age more quickly.

Although it's uncertain whether the centipede will ever come to Loulan in this world again, since there's a possibility, we can't let it go.

Yoruichi Yagami found Ryoma Aburame, the captain of the second division of the Anbu, and issued him a long-term mission to monitor the ancient kingdom of Loulan.

Once the centipede appears in Loulan, the village must be notified immediately, and strong men must be dispatched to capture it.

The main way to deal with centipedes is through surveillance and timely monitoring of their movements.

There's not much to note in terms of combat.

Even with the help of the Dragon Vein, the centipede in the theatrical version barely reaches the threshold of Kage level, so it shouldn't be taken too seriously.

The appearance of the theatrical version's plot made Yagami Yoruichi think of the characters and treasures from other theatrical versions.

For example, the Garel Stone containing powerful energy, the Angkor Fortress that can soar through the sky, the Zero-Tails that can absorb negative emotions and convert them into chakra, and the Box of Elysium that is said to grant any wish but is actually just a sealed monster, etc.

Many of the items featured in the theatrical versions are considered extremely valuable treasures in the ninja world.

If we could obtain one of these items and crack its secrets, it would greatly accelerate the development of Konoha.

"Putting everything else aside, we need to get our hands on the Sky Ninja Village fortress. The ability to fly is extremely valuable in the ninja world; even I don't know how. Although this fortress is a bit weak, having been destroyed by the Aburame clan's insects, the fact that it can fly with an extremely high load is terrifying. The technology contained within must also be of great value."

As Yagami Yoruichi pondered this, he gave Aburame Ryoma a mission: to find clues about the 'remnants of the Sky Ninja Village'.

This village did indeed exist, but it was destroyed by Konoha during the Second Shinobi World War.
