Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 229 Yuanshi Xiu: Jingyan, I was too loud before.

"Master of the family..."

"Just call me elder brother."

A smile appeared on Hiashi's face. "Hizashi, we have finally fulfilled our long-cherished wish and changed the main family's system. The Hyuga clan will surely become even stronger in the future!"

"Brother, this is not the time to be happy. Even the best system needs to be passed down, and a new system is not without its flaws."

The distinction between elders and juniors, and between the respectful and the humble, must not be disregarded!

As long as this is followed, Japan should have no problem with itself.

and so.

Although Hiashi put it nicely, Hizashi still didn't dare to directly address him as "elder brother," and as for his words...

But it was Jingyan who specifically instructed him to do so.

Richa also agrees.

Change is a good thing, but it should not be rushed, and we should not become complacent halfway through.

Pride and complacency...

This is the reason for the corruption of the Hyuga main family in the past; they must not repeat the same mistakes.

Riji smiled slightly and sighed gently.

"You're right, it's far too early for us to celebrate. The future of the family rests on our shoulders! By the way, your child, shouldn't be due soon?"

"Yes, the doctor said the baby is healthy and should be able to be delivered smoothly."

When talking about his children, Richa couldn't hide his smile.

The Japanese team's apparent complaint actually contained a hint of boasting.

"In recent years, Yuuka has been devoted to the research of medical ninjutsu. Otherwise, I would probably have a child by now. Hahaha, you've gotten ahead of me in this respect."

"My sister-in-law's medical ninjutsu has improved extremely quickly; she can now participate in surgeries, which is a great help to both the family and my brother's reputation. But she must be less busy lately, right?"

Let's continue discussing the daily variation.

Ri Zu nodded.

Life became increasingly peaceful, and the ninja world was almost turbulent. Medical ninjas focused more on experiments and research, while the Hyuga clan only needed to concentrate on their training and studies.

and so.

Most of the Hyuga clan's mediocre medical ninjas have indeed become idle.

Now that work isn't as busy as before, he and Xi Xia are planning to have a child soon.

At this point, he chuckled and said, "Didn't you secretly ask if the baby inside was a boy or a girl?"

"We thought they were all the same, so we didn't ask, but I hope it's a daughter."

"Oh?"

"My daughter is adorable, and I heard she's closer to her father too."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Joyful laughter echoed from inside the courtyard.

……

At this moment, Kyohiko was in the Dark Division, waiting for the Flying Thunder Array to teleport him from the other side.

After a period of rest, the four-person group over there recovered their chakra and could send Enichi Xiu directly over.

Simultaneously.

He was also thinking about the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

The changes in the Hyuga clan have now been settled. The reform of the main family system, without directly abolishing the branch family, has given members of the branch family some opportunities.

At the same time, the main family is no longer a secure job.

The overall strength of the Hyuga clan should improve.

In addition to what he had previously told Tsunade and the others about protecting the ninja, Kyohiko actually had other considerations regarding this matter, especially the idea of ​​having Asuma participate as well.

Firstly, there are quite a few people like Asuma within Konoha.

It's better to guide than to block.

Let them go and see for themselves what the nobles of Kyoto are like. Weeding out the disunited ones will actually help to unite the group.

Secondly, this also makes it easier to mix sand into the Guardian Ninja's interior.

Only when we are intertwined can we truly ensure that this force has blood from Konoha and does not become the private army of the nobles.

"Yuanshi is closed..."

Jingyan suddenly stopped moving, and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The shadowy side of Konoha.

Inside a secret room, a figure appeared in the middle.

His face turned deathly pale, and he looked around in terror.

The feeling just now was like losing your balance, your feet not touching the ground, and your body having no force to fall down, as if you were floating aimlessly in the air.

The chaotic direction and order almost made him vomit.

"Are you alright?"

The door opened, and a familiar but not particularly liked person appeared in the doorway. He was momentarily stunned, but then quickly came to his senses.

Yoshimine Kyohiko.

This is their territory.

He looked around in a daze, repeatedly exclaiming in amazement, "Incredible!"

"Is this Konoha?"

Yuan Shixiu looked around.

This dimly lit passageway seemed to be underground, yet it was incredibly cool and completely free of any stuffy or damp feeling.

"To be precise, this is the base of the Anbu. The place you are in now is our Konoha Anbu base, and of course, it is also very close to Konoha."

Jingyan walked ahead.

"Do you want to go for a stroll in Konoha, or sit here for a while?"

"Does this mean I can't just wander around here?"

Yuan Shixiu smiled.

Jingyan didn't hide anything and nodded slightly: "Yes, this is for the safety of the country and the village, and also for your safety."

He walked forward, then paused and answered.

"In the ninja world, intelligence is extremely important. We are willing to sacrifice many ninjas for intelligence, and we may even lose many more..."

"An ordinary person like you should not want to be someone else's target."

Jingyan said with a smile.

"For example? Sorry, I'm not looking to see your base, but I've never been a ninja, so I'm curious about the value of intelligence to you ninjas."

Yuan Shixiu was somewhat curious.

He was a smart man, but he was completely unfamiliar with the field of ninjas, possessing no knowledge whatsoever; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to accept Danzo.

Anyone familiar with the ninja system will understand what accepting Danzo meant for the Land of Fire.

"Everyone knows that my strongest abilities are the Flying Thunder God Technique and Wood Release, right?"

Jingyan answered with a smile.

Yuan Shixiu nodded slightly.

"So, if someone wants to deal with me, they will make tactical arrangements based on these two types of information, or even devise a plan to kill me in one fell swoop."

Jingyan gave a brief explanation.

Yuan Shixiu could understand this point quite well.

If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

It's not just ninjas; they do the same when targeting enemies.

"But actually, with your abilities, even if your opponents devise a specific strategy, it won't be effective, right? After all, your strength is already comparable to that of the First Generation."

In front of others, Yuan Shixiu might put on airs, but when facing Jingyan...

He would never do that.

Anyone can see that Jingyan, in a few years or ten years, will definitely become the Hokage of Konoha, and who knows, one day he might have to work with Jingyan.

Offending the other party truly brings no benefit.

and.

The strong certainly deserve respect.

"That's because they only have a portion of my information, not all of my abilities. Of course, sometimes, even knowing all the information is useless..."

Faced with absolute power, all planning and blockade are futile.

unless.

The enemy could lay a trap to block his Flying Thunder God technique, and then use an ultimate barrier technique like the Four Red Sun Formation to force Li Jun to fight Madara within the barrier.

and.

Even with age spots and no eyes, he probably wouldn't be able to beat him, but in today's ninja world, there are almost no more ninjas who can put together such a lineup.

Yuan Shixiu seemed to be deep in thought.

In some areas, the clashes between ninjas and their nobles were not much different.

However, among the nobles, he had his father's protection and didn't need to fear the other nobles of the Land of Fire, but in the clashes between ninjas...

Parents' glory is of no use.

Strength is the only true measure of success!

Yuan Shixiu followed Jingyan all the way to the lounge.

He didn't rush to leave the Dark Division, but instead chatted with Kyohiko all the way, becoming more and more interested as they talked.

Previously, when he was hostile towards Kyohiko, Enichi Kyu considered Yoshimine Kyohiko a troublesome and hateful opponent, but when he was about to cooperate with him, he discovered—

This young boy is even more reliable than Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others!

of course.

This is Yuan Shixiu's current assessment. As for the Sannin, he has not had much contact with them and dares not make a judgment.

The more he talked, the more excited he became, so he kept pestering Kyohiko to continue the conversation, asking about the plans and arrangements for protecting the ninja, as well as what he needed to worry about and pay attention to.

Jingyan could explain it all and offered guidance.

Yes, guidance...

After their conversation, Yuan Shixiu concluded that the young man in front of him was more mature than him in many areas!

A top genius who is almost omniscient and omnipotent!

A thought flashed through Yuan Shixiu's mind, and then he couldn't help but marvel inwardly—

How could such a person exist in the world?

Given time, even if the Senju brothers Hashirama and Tobirama were to be resurrected, they would pale in comparison to the grown-up boy.

In a daze, Yuan Shixiu seemed to see a great era coming.

Land of Fire...

If managed well, it may become even more prosperous!

He is certainly not stupid.

and so.

"Kyohiko-kun, besides protecting the ninja, I actually have some other things to do this time. One is to apologize for my previous ignorant offense."

With that, Yuan Shixiu stood up and bowed deeply.

Jingyan was surprised, and then quickly helped the other person up.

"No need, no need. We are all members of the Land of Fire. It is only right for us to do this for the sake of our country."

"You mentioned earlier that you wanted to trade with Sunagakure. Father has already reached a decision. I have an idea of ​​your caravan going together with ours, so that we can support each other."

Yuan Shixiu looked at Jingyan, his heart filled with unease.

His idea came to him purely on a whim.

Konoha and Kyohiko's abilities both exceeded his expectations, so he had to consider Konoha's attitude. They had facilitated this trade, yet they hadn't offered any thanks...

That doesn't make sense, does it?

however.

The next moment, Jingyan's words made his eyes widen.

"Good idea, but I'd like to make a slight modification to your idea. How about the merchants from Konoha and Kyoto unite and form a trade association to trade and exchange goods under the association's name?"

"Chamber of Commerce?"

Yuan Shixiu was stunned for a long time after hearing this. He could only think of "unity", but he never expected that the other party would directly propose to form a large chamber of commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce and the Ninja World also exist.

For example, the Asters Flower Merchants Association covers almost every sector and has trade relations with various countries.

but……

The alliance between Kyoto's forces and Konoha's merchants carries significant implications.

In some ways, it can be considered a "national business".

How should the profits be distributed?

Yuan Shixiu's mind raced, and then he heard Jingyan say with a smile, "No need to rush. You'll be staying here as a guest for a while, so we can discuss these things slowly."

"That's true."

Yuan Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a huge matter, and if Jingyan asked him to make a decision right away, he really wouldn't dare to answer.

If we take it slow, we can ask our father for his opinion.

Previously, Enichi Kyu believed that the father of the daimyo was too weak, which is why he sat idly by as Konoha grew stronger and watched the Hokage take away the power that belonged to them.

However, ever since the incident in the Land of Water, Danzo's defection and death, Enichi Kyu has come to his senses.

He understood that they lacked the talent in this area!

The Daimyo does the Daimyo's job, and the Hokage does the Hokage's job.

The best solution is for everyone to perform their duties and cooperate with each other, at least for now.

Jingyan was also very satisfied.

After a considerable period of communication and probing today, he discovered that Yuan Shixiu had matured a lot and was no longer as naive and stubborn as before. He had learned to think rationally.

This is good.

At least the other side has realized that their abilities and those of Konoha far exceed their imagination, and are not something they can control with just a few words.

Cooperation is a win-win situation!

……

Beneath the base of the stigmata, Black Zetsu quietly arrived.

Madara had a sudden thought and gave White Zetsu a wink. The other immediately understood and lured Obito away.

Then.

"How is it?"

"Very successful. Also, I've learned that..."

Black Zetsu told Madara Uchiha about the Nine-Tails.

Madara Uchiha pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Konoha wants to obtain the complete power of the Nine-Tails!"

"That's what I think too."

Black Zetsu answered.

Ban did not answer immediately.

Nine-tailed Fox...

Back then, he used his Sharingan in conjunction with a summoning contract to control the Nine-Tails and directly incorporated its power into Susanoo.

Therefore, he was very clear about the Nine-Tails' power.

but--

What he saw might not be the strongest power of the tailed beasts!

Konoha's intention was clearly to get to know Kurama and get Kurama to cooperate with Konoha.

If the other party really goes that far...

Madara narrowed his eyes slightly: "That brat is indeed a formidable opponent. I suspect he has already sealed my contract with Kurama!"

"Do you have a way to break the seal?"

Hei Jue asked.

Ban nodded slightly and smiled, "Where there's a method, there's a solution. But do those fools even have that ability?"

He couldn't help but sneer when the Uchiha gang was mentioned.

A bunch of idiots!

"If Uchiha Shisui were willing to cooperate, it should be possible. Unfortunately, that kid is very close to Konoha."

"It's alright."

Ban replied calmly, "Has the previous plan been arranged properly?"

"Of course, I plan to take advantage of Rin Nohara's trip to the Uchiha clan compound to sow discord between the Uchiha and the Konoha Hokage faction!"

Black Zetsu chuckled.

If either Obito's grandmother or Nohara Rin were to get into trouble, it would be beneficial to them.

"Okay, then you take him there."

Spotted head.

Black Zetsu said, "I think we should go to Amegakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure first."

"Um?"

Ban opened his eyes.

Black Zetsu explanation.

"Neither Onoki nor the Third Raikage are people who will willingly submit. As long as they know what Konoha is doing and the situation in Konoha, they will definitely take action."

"Can."

Madara nodded slightly, acknowledging Black Zetsu's plan.

A two-pronged approach to create chaos.

This is advantageous to them.

"If it's appropriate, I'll have Kirigakure take action as well."

"yes!"
