Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 452 Konoha Crisis Re-emerges

Let's go back in time a little.

Kushina was organizing documents in the Hokage's office.

Minato Namikaze needs to connect with those shadows, and the remaining matters cannot be left unresolved.

All of these need to be addressed.

"Ugh, why am I the one handling this?"

Kushina felt completely overwhelmed. In the past, she wouldn't have had much of a problem, since it was just a matter of one village.

It's now half a country.

Although power has been decentralized according to Jin's method, some families have already moved to other cities to live.

For example, the Hyuga main family and others have already moved. After all, they can control a city now, so who would want to stay in this small, run-down place?

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio's main base is still in Konoha.

After all, they are supporters of Naruto.

Each city has its own elite Jonin (high-ranking ninja) in charge.

Even Kai was assigned to be the city lord.

Even so.

However, the direction of half the country and specific government affairs all require the Hokage's confirmation.

There are no more trivial matters.

But these important matters require careful consideration before a decision can be made, and they are far more troublesome than those minor matters. Kushina felt somewhat exhausted.

She is simply not good at handling government affairs.

I turned to look at the floor-to-ceiling windows outside.

"I really want to go out and have fun."

Since the couple took full control of Konoha, although Konoha has become far stronger than before, they no longer have any time for themselves.

As for the son.

What son?

Fugaku Uchiha appeared in the office and knelt before the Hokage's desk.

"Lady Kushina, Rasa from Sunagakure is on his way to the research and development department."

Kushina frowned.

What does "Sunagakure" mean? It's now the lifeblood of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Regardless of whether the other party did it intentionally or not, this is not a matter that can be easily resolved.

The R&D department continues to provide Konoha with a steady stream of technology.

Although Kim has left.

However, the techniques he left behind have not yet been fully mastered by Konoha.

"I'd like to see what he's up to!"

Kushina slammed her hand on the table.

The entrance to the R&D department.

"Lord Rasa, this place is not convenient for outsiders to visit."

Several Konoha ninja blocked Rasa's path.

Rasa didn't look at the few Konoha ninjas; instead, he looked at the building behind them.

"That must be Konoha's research and development department, right?"

Behind the ninjas blocking the way, figures wearing gray special combat uniforms and masks appeared.

These people are all from the Dark Division.

"Lord Rasa, please have some self-respect."

Luo Sha just stared at the small building in the distance, seemingly oblivious to their conversation.

"It seems so."

He nodded.

"Rasa!!"

The Konoha ninjas also drew their weapons one by one.

"Do you want to start a war with Konoha?"

Luo Sha then turned his gaze to them, a cold smile appearing on his face.

"Are you only just realizing this?"

Golden sand continued to condense behind him. Although he was very resistant to this operation, he had already started.

Then there's no room for regret.

Just then.

Golden chains swung down from the sky towards Rasa.

Golden sand quickly condensed into a shield in front of Luo Sha, blocking the chains.

"Bang!"

The chains were quickly retracted, and Rosa's gold dust fell to the ground.

He frowned as he looked at the gold dust that he could no longer control.

"seal?"

He looked up at the sky, where countless chains wove wings behind the red-haired woman, allowing her to hover in mid-air.

"Kushina Uzumaki."

Luo Sha narrowed his eyes.

One of the Three Dharma Bodies of Konoha.

So how should Sasori deal with Tsunade?

Gold dust began to gather around him.

The battle has begun.

Tsunade was wandering the streets, her lifeless eyes searching for the only salvation in her heart.

It's a pity about Konoha.

"Lady Tsunade, you've been searching for years, there's no way you'll find it."

"I can't speak," said the person behind them, sounding helpless.

"Shut up."

Tsunade lowered her head in defeat.

She shouldn't have come back. What could possibly happen during the Chunin Exams? She should have just gone to check on other cities.

but.

"The ninja world is developing really fast."

Tsunade thought of Konoha, which now occupies half of the Land of Fire.

This was something the ninjas of the past had never imagined.

The family that existed before the ninja village.

Their life-or-death struggle was actually a competition for the tasks of those noble daimyo, and in return, they would receive rewards to ensure the survival of the ninja clan.

Why didn't anyone think of replacing them back then?

She felt that Uchiha Kin'gen was quite good in this regard.

Anyway, she didn't like those nobles.

But a kid who can do something like that can't be called kind at all.

"Nawaki, how have you been lately?"

Tsunade asked Shizune.

Since returning to Konoha, this kid has become wild and is rarely seen.

"Lord Nawaki is also working hard to contribute to Konoha."

Shizune's face flushed slightly as she thought of Nawaki, who was working hard on missions and aiming to become Hokage.

He glanced at the word "gambling" behind Tsunade.

He sighed helplessly.

Why is there such a big difference between the siblings?

Shizune was walking with a sigh when she suddenly bumped her head into Tsunade.

"Lady Tsunade?"

Shizune looked at Tsunade with a puzzled expression.

Tsunade looked ahead with a serious expression.

There stood a young-looking man, smiling at Tsunade. It might be better to ignore the mechanical feel of his joints.

"Uchiha Setsuna?"

She remembered that face vividly.

At that time, in order to oppose his second grandfather, this man led a group of Uchiha clan members in a rebellion.

He was described by the old man Hiruzen Sarutobi as someone whose heart was filled with evil.

But Tsunade actually knew that this old guy had been very straightforward about killing her second grandfather from beginning to end, without harming the village in the slightest.

They even took the initiative to protect many villagers.

Tsunade's assessment of him was that he was a mentally unstable Uchiha with no particular intelligence.

This guy is a complete brute.

But isn't this guy locked up in the deepest part of the prison?

Putting aside the fact that he's still alive after all this time, why is he in this state?

"Tsunade, it's been a long time."

Uchiha Setsuna looked at Tsunade, somewhat dazed. At that time, this child had just entered the Ninja Academy.

He couldn't quite remember.

She's already such a stunning beauty.

"Tell me, why did you come out of that prison in this form?"

That's a prison specifically for serious crimes, heavily guarded, and very difficult to enter and exit.

Moreover, this form is definitely that of a puppet from the Sand Village.
