Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 86 You think you can stir up trouble in the Land of Fire?

Outside Daming Prefecture.

Minato Namikaze remained calm and handed over three pieces of paper.

One for each person.

"What is this?"

Kakashi took the slip of paper; a technique was written on it.

I don't recognize it.

Jingyan didn't know him either.

The basic books didn't cover sealing techniques, but he knew that this should be the Flying Thunder God seal researched by Minato Namikaze.

Minato has already figured out the formula for his Flying Thunder God Technique?

That means he may have already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Jingyan was secretly surprised.

Minato Namikaze whispered, "You can think of this as a technique that allows me to teleport quickly. If you encounter danger, I can get there instantly."

The current situation is unclear.

He wasn't entirely at ease letting the powerful figure send them out for a stroll.

The three of them each put it on their person.

Yuan Shixiu did indeed only take them shopping, but Jingyan, who constantly sensed his surroundings, could clearly perceive—

About two kilometers behind them, four people were following them.

Guardian Ninja?

still is……

Danzo's subordinates?

Kyohiko found it hard to believe that Danzo would admit defeat to Hiruzen Sarutobi, especially since his subordinates had not been completely eliminated.

I just wandered around Yuanshi Town casually.

but.

His conversations were all about the Daimyo and the ninja village, constantly probing the four of them's opinions on the Daimyo.

Minato was drenched in sweat and dared not answer directly.

On the contrary, Might Guy...

"Your Excellency, the Daimyo? You are a very good person, and you are truly remarkable in managing a country!"

"What about the Hokage?"

"The Hokage is also great."

Matt Kai frankly expressed his views.

Yuan Shixiu smiled and followed Might Guy to Kakashi and Kyohiko, but they did not respond.

Half a day was spent wandering around.

That evening, the lord hosted a banquet specifically for them.

"Kyohiko-kun, I heard your grandmother was from the Senju clan?"

"Yes, my grandmother's name was Senju Momoka."

Jingyan nodded.

The name has changed its form.

"So, your illusion magic must be pretty good too, right?"

"My parents didn't have a talent for genjutsu, and my generation's talent in genjutsu is also relatively average. We are more skilled in water-style ninjutsu."

Jingyan answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Kakashi, shoveling rice into his mouth, secretly rolled his eyes.

Average talent?

This guy's average skill level is on a completely different level from others; he might have secretly trained to a very high level.

If you believe it, you lose!

He didn't take it seriously at all.

Daiming understood, and continued to ask questions. On the surface, there was no discernible inclination, but it seemed more like a test, and it wasn't just aimed at Kyohiko.

We arrived at Minato Namikaze.

After their conversation, Minato Namikaze spoke up.

"Lord Daimyo, if you have any requests, please feel free to tell us. If we are unable to fulfill them, we can forward them to the village."

"No, not really."

Da Ming smiled.

Then he clapped his hands.

Before long, the four of them came out from the side hall.

One was older, around thirty years old.

The other three weren't very old, but Jingyan estimated that two of them were four or five years older than the other three, and looked more mature and older.

As for the little monk, he should undoubtedly be Di Lu.

After they entered, their eyes were fixed on Kyohiko and Kakashi.

"These are the wandering ninjas who recently joined me. This is Motohashi, one of them is Kazuma, the other is Takemasa, and this is Jiraku. They are ninja monks from the Fire Temple, and they are responsible for protecting my safety."

"That's what Dai-ming explained."

It really was them, Ma and Dilu.

So, the ninjas he sensed earlier were subordinates of these wandering ninjas, not Danzo as he had imagined?

Jingyan frowned.

but.

If there were such a quantity, how come there are only a few left?

"That's right. The three of them are about the same age as you, so they want to spar with you and see just how strong the geniuses of Konoha are."

Yuan Shixiu explained.

Honbashi nodded: "That's right, Jonin Minato. I wonder if I would have the honor of learning from you."

"Of course, no problem."

Minato Namikaze nodded.

It's fine if it's just a friendly exchange.

He and the other two stepped forward.

The two of them didn't give each other a friendly look, but Di Lu politely bowed and even formed a hand seal of opposition.

Jing Yanchong returned the greeting.

Seeing this, Kakashi and Guy also solemnly formed hand seals.

It was only then that Kazuma and Takemasa formed an opposing alliance.

Immediately, with a flick of his wrist, iron claws shot out and swiftly charged towards Jingyan.

but.

The instant he made his move.

choke!

A knife was already positioned in front of his claws.

Sparks flew as the blades clashed, and Kakashi withdrew his sword and retreated.

In an instant.

boom!

The sparks seemed to ignite the surrounding air, exploding into a giant fireball that enveloped He Ma's face.

Kakashi's lips curled into a slight smile.

A new sword technique...

success!

He quickly retreated, but his skills were indeed remarkable. He swiftly withdrew his hands and used the cloth on his body to extinguish the fire, managing to avoid injury.

However, without a doubt, he lost face big time.

He thought he was not much different from the Konoha ninjas, so he charged forward with great confidence, only to be ambushed and nearly injured.

Kai went to challenge Zhu Zheng to a duel.

Jingyan then tacitly faced off against Jiriku.

The opponent was a subordinate of the daimyo, and they couldn't let him lose too humiliatingly. Otherwise, Kakashi's slash would have injured Kazuma in the very first exchange.

It seems that Kazuma is still not as good as Kakashi.

As for Matt Kay.

The opponent seems to be skilled in Earth Release techniques and has extremely strong defense. Without using power above "Opening Gate," it will probably be difficult to break through in a short time.

"donor!"

He offered a salute to the land.

Jingyan nodded, then formed a hand seal with one hand and threw a punch forward.

The changes in Liu!

Di Lu's gaze was unfocused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, revealing surprise in his eyes.

He immediately punched Jingyan away, cold sweat already seeping from his forehead.

Is this what you call being bad at illusion magic?

If the opponent were even faster, and had a knife in their hand...

With a few powerful punches, Di Lu knocked Jing Yan back, and his gaze swept over him, instantly understanding everything—

Jingyan carried a knife on his back and a short blade at his waist.

Obviously.

This was originally a sword technique, but the opponent held back and didn't use their full strength.

If it were a knife, just that one strike would have injured him, and if Jingyan were any faster, he would have certainly died.

No wonder the other party is a Jonin!

Di Lu suppressed his pride, immediately performed a Buddhist salute, and said, "Be careful, benefactor. Although I haven't fully mastered it, its power is still considerable..."

"it is good."

Jingyan's eyes lit up.

A talent of the immortal race!

I never expected that Di Lu would actually master it!

it is good!

The next moment, he felt a powerful burst of chakra erupt from Jiraiya.

In that instant, Di Lu's face paled slightly.

Obviously.

This move is quite a burden for him now.

Jingyan immediately took action.

First...

The speed wasn't increased too much, just about half the usual level.

Draw the knife!

choke!

As the blade slashed through the air, he felt a terrifying resistance, and then several invisible fists landed on him, instantly sending him flying.

It hurts!

Jingyan grimaced in pain.

He hadn't been beaten this badly in a long time.

but.

This, on the contrary, aroused his curiosity.

The next instant, his speed increased again.

Jiraiya maintained his chakra, sensing his surroundings. However, he had barely seen Kyohiko stand up when he sensed something else—

The other party has arrived!

So fast!

Bang!

Jingyan was knocked away again.

The land was utterly shaken.

Just now, he didn't see Jingyan's movements clearly at all, but the fact that the other party was knocked away meant that Jingyan had completed an attack.

If it weren't for the Thousand Hands Killing Technique...

Jiro was shocked by Kyohiko's strength, unaware that the others were also astonished by the power of his move.

It's rare to see someone of Jingyan's age in such a sorry state these days.

"This is an absolute defense. Unless I run out of chakra, you can't break through my defense. I haven't practiced it very well. If I fully master it, this technique can have another variation."

Di Lu honestly said.

"That's really impressive!"

Jingyan nodded in agreement.

He closed his eyes and amplified his senses.

On Jiraiya's body, chakra formed a shape resembling the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara.

The covering chakra completely envelops the opponent, and unless this layer of chakra can be directly broken through, it will be of no use.

In this state, the opponent's chakra is incredibly stable, and genjutsu cannot shake it.

One method is to bombard the enemy with ninjutsu, causing them to counterattack frequently, thereby creating a chakra gap in Jiraiya's body, and then rushing in to kill him with one blow.

Hidan and Kakuzu might have done the same thing.

However, for Kyohiko, the outcome was not important.

He was more concerned with the principles behind the technique.

Jingyan forms a hand seal.

Immediately, the water dragon roared and rose up.

At the same time, he formed a hand seal with one hand to maintain the water dragon, while crouching down and probing the ground with the other hand.

boom!

The powerful impact continued to pound against that layer of chakra.

An invisible fist pounded against the water dragon.

but.

Each time it shattered, the water dragon quickly reformed.

After reaching the "Mastery" level, Kyohiko was able to maintain the output of Water Dragon Bullet unless the opponent directly countered his ninjutsu head-on.

A battle ensued.

Wow!

The water broke out and rushed towards the surrounding walls.

Minato immediately stood in front of the daimyo, forming hand seals, and a gust of wind blew out from his mouth, blowing away the scattered water.

He stared intently, unable to hide his excitement.

The land is not weak.

The Temple of Fire is truly sincere!

Minato Namikaze was also surprised by the power of this move.

but.

At this moment, Kyohiko had a general idea.

The "Thousand Hands Kill" technique essentially involves gathering a large amount of special chakra in the body. The chakra may appear static, but it actually moves rapidly when attacked.

As for "talented individuals of the immortal race".

Perhaps it is a special way of utilizing natural energy, and it is this power that allows the chakra of the Earth and Land to automatically defend and counterattack.

To break this, the connection between the Earth's chakra and the outside world must be severed.

Or, disrupt the chakra of the land.

If it were Di Lu more than twenty years later, this method would be of little use, but now that he is just beginning to learn this technique, one can sense his naivety through his senses.

After clarifying the situation, Kyohiko already had a solution.

of course.

Limited to the current landmass.

He formed a hand seal with one hand, spewing water from his mouth, while gathering chakra in his other hand and pouring more chakra into the "Water Chaos Wave".

The fists retaliated with a resounding thud.

He soon realized something was wrong.

Why is this happening?

Di Lu was greatly surprised.

He felt his counterattacks growing weaker and weaker until finally his chakra disappeared.

The next instant, a knife was held against his neck.

Jingyan sheathed his sword and formed a seal of reconciliation.

Di Lu paused for a moment, then formed the same hand seal.

After the reconciliation seal was completed, the sparring was over, but he didn't understand.

"How did you crack it?"

"Your use of chakra is too rudimentary; it can be interfered with and isolated by my chakra."

Kyohiko explained, "If your chakra control is more refined and you understand this ability more deeply, my method will be of little use."

"So that's how it is..."

Di Lu immediately understood.

I still haven't cultivated myself enough!

If one cultivates sufficiently, one cannot be easily defeated.

He immediately bowed and thanked them.

Jingyan was naturally not comfortable accepting such a gift.

If I'm not mistaken...

The talent of the immortals should be the application of natural energy.

Unlike Sage Mode, it is not directly absorbed into the body, but rather the chakra is refined and then transformed externally using some method.

Knowing the principle...

If I learn Sage Mode in the future, I might be able to imitate similar effects.

Jingyan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the others were still "practicing," so he started talking to Jiriku.

"Could I ask what this technique is called?"

"Welcome - Thousand Hand Kill," but in your Konoha, it's probably called by another name more often.

The Earthly Path is generally referred to as a talent of the Immortal Clan by outsiders.

"amazing!"

Jingyan praised him.

Without a system, to master the talents of the Immortal Clan at such a young age, Jiraiya's talent and abilities are not weak. It's a pity he is a ninja monk of the Fire Temple, not a Konoha ninja.

Trying to get freebies now is twice as difficult.

Unless, of course, he's willing to become a Guardian Ninja.

but.

Give up an entire forest for the sake of one tree?

Jingyan smiled.

A moment later, Kakashi and Might Guy finished their tasks one after the other.

Clearly, Daiming was very satisfied.

Although Kazuma and his companions were no match for Kyohiko and his two companions, this was within his expectations. The fact that they could hold out for so long showed that these three were not weak and were more than capable of protecting him.

The money was well spent!

Seeing that the other party was happy, Minato Namikaze took the opportunity to express his desire to return to the village.

Unable to persuade them to stay, Daimyo had no choice but to allow them to leave.

Yuan Shixiu said, "Father..."

"They won't become guardian ninjas, so staying would be pointless. It's better to maintain a semblance of peace."

"Da Ming said calmly."

Immediately, he looked at Benqiao and smiled, "Mr. Benqiao, you can leave a few people with me, and then I can give you some money and even show you the way."

"My lord, I did not come here for the money..."

This bridge will respond immediately.

but.

Da Ming waved his hand.

"No matter why you're here, I only need a few elites; the rest are not necessary."

"But……"

We still need to strive for this bridge.

Daming stood up, a hint of fatigue on his face: "I'm tired. It's my day off. Let's see them off."

"yes!"

……

That night, Honbashi, along with more than twenty wandering ninjas, left Kyoto, holding their breath.

He could hardly believe it.

The famous person actually refused!

madness!

Benqiao could hardly contain his anger, but then he thought of the two people left there and felt a little comforted.

At least the seeds were thrown in.

Whether it can grow into a towering tree depends on the abilities of Kazuma and Takemasa.

"Sir, where do we go next?"

"According to the Daimyo, we will go to the Land of Tea."

"yes!"

The group headed towards the Land of Tea, but they hadn't gone very far.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

Ahead, a person stood by the river, leaning on a cane.

His pupils contracted, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.

"It seems you recognize me."

Danzo turned around, his gaze sweeping over them, a slight smirk playing on his lips. "A bunch of wandering ninjas, and they actually recognize me? How can you expect me to believe you?"

"you!"

Under the moonlight, Benqiao's face was deathly pale, and he kept backing away.

Danzo, however, remained completely calm.

He sighed softly and said, "I hadn't noticed you at first, but unfortunately, you have the same goal as me, so I discovered you..."

"You bunch of Iwagakure rats think you can shake the Land of Fire?"

Danzo opened his eyes.

Immediately, he formed a hand seal and spat out a wind blade.

Under manipulation, the continuous wind blades transformed into chaotic and complex lines of death.

Even though those people used Earth Release ninjutsu, they still couldn't stop Danzo's terrifying wind blade ninjutsu.

Instantly, the outskirts of the city became a living hell.

After that, he picked up his cane, which was stuck in the ground, and slowly walked towards Kyoto.

……

In another direction, Kyohiko pressed one finger to the ground, his eyes closed, and chakra spread along his finger.

He quickly opened his eyes, his expression one of utter shock.

"What's wrong?"

"Those people seemed to have been driven away by the daimyo, but they were all wiped out in an instant by someone else!"

Jingyan said in a low voice.

Minato Namikaze's pupils contracted.

They were all killed?

Who has such strength?

The Land of Fire...

Minato Namikaze's expression was solemn.

"Are you able to sense the other person's chakra level?"

"cannot."

If he reaches "Mastery" or higher in chakra perception techniques, it might be possible, but he can't do it now.

Minato Namikaze rubbed his temples.

Kyohiko's technique...

He had heard about it before from the Third Generation, but in recent years he had been busy practicing Flying Thunder God Technique and sealing techniques, and had no time to practice other techniques.

Otherwise, he could be of some help now.

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment and said, "The situation inside the village is complicated. In the short term, our intelligence control is probably much weaker than before, and we may not be able to find any clues about the other side."

"Let's report this to the Hokage and let him decide."

"That's the only way, but I'm not entirely at ease with Daimyo."

Minami Namikaze.

He thought for a moment and said, "You all go back to the village first. I'll go protect the daimyo to prevent the enemy from coming for him."

"I'll go with you..."

"No! Kyohiko, I know the Flying Thunder God Technique, which can instantly take a daimyo away. But I have only just mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, and I can only take one at most. Keeping you around will only be a burden to me."

Minato Namikaze immediately refused, then his expression turned serious. "I am the captain, my words are orders. Take the intelligence and leave."

"yes!"

Jingyan stood up.

The next moment, Minato Namikaze vanished instantly.

Kai was stunned.

This is not a teleportation technique!

Kakashi thought for a moment, then speculated, "Space-time ninjutsu?"

"Probably. Let's go, staying here won't be of much help."

"Um."
