Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 111 Iwagakure: I didn't do it, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense!

After Yua summoned the old patriarch of the Hyuga clan, he returned and began taking attendance.

At this time, the two Hyuga brothers, who were not much different in age and were both four years old, watched at home as their father and uncles were called together for a gathering.

What could children possibly be thinking? The two brothers couldn't wait for their father to leave so they could go to the amusement park.

As the old patriarch of the Hyuga clan was about to leave, he looked at the two brothers, Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hiashi, and gave them his last order before departing.

That night, after drinking a sedative and falling into a deep sleep, Hyuga Hizashi was taken to a secret location belonging to the Hyuga clan...

……

Hokage's Office:

Yuya sighed as he listened to Uchiha Kagami's report. So the Hyuga clan still did it this way after all...?

For You Ya, who has a modern mindset, the idea of ​​a caged bird is something he would definitely scoff at.

It was said to be to protect the main family's Byakugan, but in the end, wasn't it still taken away or even transplanted by others?

Although that person was from Kirigakure, the principle is the same; the so-called caged bird is just that.

Moreover, it can easily lead to members of the main family developing malicious tendencies because they have control over the life and death of members of the branch family.

You Ya never thinks highly of a person's character.

He was a staunch believer in the inherent evil of human nature.

There is only one person like Hashirama Senju, who is so powerful and single-mindedly tries everything to end the war.

Even the others, including Tobirama Senju, were seen by Yua as representatives of inherent evil.

Youya never relies on others or thinks about how others might help you. To Youya, begging for help puts one in a vulnerable position, so it's better to exchange benefits.

That's for other villages, but for Hyuga...

You Ya really didn't know what to do.

He couldn't possibly go to the old head of the Hyuga clan and say, "I'll give you so many benefits, and you'll cancel the Caged Bird Seal for me, can you?"

The old clan chief of Hyuga would lose if he even glanced at Yua.

"Alright, we don't need to worry about the Hyuga group anymore. Let them have their own fun. Our focus now is on the Land of Grass. Let me know as soon as anything happens."

"Yes."

Uchiha Kagami concealed himself in the shadows.

Yuya then took out a scroll from the side, opened it, and found that it contained the monthly evaluation standards for Jonin after the reform.

You Ya rubbed his temples. These things weren't difficult, just a bit troublesome.

Besides Yua, who else in Konoha could do something like evaluating other Jonin?

Well……

It seems there really is one?

The next day, Tobirama Senju, with veins bulging on his forehead, looked at Yua and said, "I've only given you the position for less than three months, and look how many times you've come to me? Now that you're the Hokage, don't call me over for everything. I'm very busy!"

The development of the second-generation Chakra Cannon has hit a bottleneck. I'm desperately short-staffed here, and you still called me in? Do you want to delay Konoha's future defense weapons indefinitely? Let me tell you..."

Yuya listened to Tobirama Senju's incessant chatter with a forced smile.

This simply means that Tobirama Senju has become significantly more talkative since retiring.

So what if I call you over from the research institute every two days to work? You've been doing this for the past ten years or so. What's wrong with me letting you reminisce about your old life?

Well, okay, it's not very authentic, but Yuya really has no choice.

Besides him, the current Hokage, only the former Hokage, Tobirama Senju, could do this kind of evaluation of Jonin.

Aside from those two, no one else dared to assess the situation; those Jonin who were beaten to B or below were truly capable of causing trouble.

As for Youya...

If Youya pays these people's salaries, would they dare to object?

Even if there are still some complaints, once the year-end bonus is received, all the complaints will disappear.

If you work at a company and your boss says you're not working hard enough, but you still get your full salary every month, and at the end of the year you even get an extra six months' salary as a year-end bonus, would you resent your boss? Of course not. Considering the 18 months' salary you've received in a year, if your boss says you're not working hard enough, you'd definitely nod and say, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll definitely work harder in the future."

In other words, having Tobirama Senju come here every few days, acting like he's still in office even though he's retired, is really absurd.

After listening to Tobirama Senju's ramblings, Yuya quickly said, "This time, we really can't do without you, Uncle-Master, and..."

I have a very suitable candidate to be your assistant. If he goes, you won't be so busy, will you?

Tobirama Senju raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Who is it?"

Without saying a word, Yuya betrayed Orochimaru: "Hiruzen Sarutobi has three students. Jiraiya is a monster, Tsunade goes without saying, but Orochimaru is a top-notch prospect."

"Oh?" Tobirama Senju's interest was piqued. "His ninjutsu is very strong?"

Yuya: "Um, I don't know, but he really likes to develop some weird and wonderful ninjutsu."

Tobirama Senju nodded knowingly. He initially enjoyed researching strange and unusual ninjutsu, but after going to war with his older brother, his research shifted to how to kill as many Uchiha as possible in the shortest amount of time. (After all, the Senju clan spent most of their time fighting against the Uchiha.)

Tobirama Senju helped Yua with her work and spent a week completing the assessments of several hundred Jonin.

During this month, the Hyuga clan, along with ten Jonin from their own clan, ten Jonin specially granted permission by Yua, and a research team that taught them how to use the chakra cannon and how to power it, traveled together.

There is also a team of several hundred other Chunin and Jonin.

Of course, there are also ten chakra cannons.

Upon learning of Konoha's configuration, the guy from the Land of Grass who called himself the Grass Shadow laughed heartily.

They didn't have many Jonin in their Grass Village, but they had over a thousand Chunin and Genin. He felt that he could win even if he used these people as cannon fodder.

Then the two sides began to make contact.

Then the Grass Ninja Village collapsed immediately upon contact.

Where has this Kusakage from Kusagakure ever seen a chakra cannon?

Previously, Yuya had only invited the other four Shadow Nations.

What level is your Grass Ninja Village?

So this was the first time that the so-called Grass Shadow had seen the Chakra Cannon.

Then he was blasted into a daze.

These cannons are transported in disassembled pieces. Once assembled, they are extremely heavy. Disassembling them allows the parts to be sealed within the sealing scroll, but this doesn't work once they are assembled. The principle seems to be that if a successfully assembled cannon is placed inside the sealing scroll, the activated chakra runes inside will be erased by the sealing scroll, rendering the cannon useless. It's similar to how living things can't enter a sealing scroll; even if they are activated, they are still alive.

Therefore, this cannon is generally not used for offensive purposes.

However, this only applies to the other four major countries.

What is the land area of ​​those four major countries?

What is the land area of ​​your Grass Country?

They have strategic depth. You're just a small country called the Land of Grass. Konoha can set up cannons hundreds of miles away from your Grass Village and start bombarding you with them.

Many people may have escaped, but the Grass Ninja Village is definitely gone.

What's more, ten cannons fired simultaneously.

After a volley of fire, the Grass Village was completely destroyed.

After all, this is a small ninja village with a population of only tens of thousands, even including civilians.

This volley of fire will likely kill the most civilians.

But Yuya didn't care. He wasn't a saint. If you're in the Land of Grass, and that mentally challenged Grass Shadow from the Land of Grass has offended me, then I'm sorry, you'll all be buried with him.

Meanwhile, the Jonin of Konoha did not pursue the fleeing ninjas. According to the Hyuga Byakugan, their target was only one person from beginning to end.

Shadows of grass.

The result, naturally, was that the person was brought back.

Captured alive.

This was a special request from Youya.

They must be captured alive.

After capturing Kusakura alive, they retreated, and naturally dismantled the chakra cannon and took it back with them.

Although this means the internal patterns need to be reactivated, it's not unusable.

Konoha hasn't reached the point where it can just throw these cannons around like that.

After the people from Konoha left, some other people on the battlefield also stepped forward.

They were spies sent by the other four countries.

Although that chakra cannon looks impressive, nobody knows how effective it is in actual combat.

So they still need to come and see how the battlefield is.

The result, naturally, left them speechless.

The Grass Village is now completely finished. Without anyone's help, it will be impossible to rebuild the Grass Village.

Meanwhile, Kusakage, who was being escorted back to Konoha, confessed everything immediately.

It's obvious he's terrified.

He said that Iwagakure contacted him and asked him to attack Konoha's caravan.

Yuya naturally summoned the representative of Iwagakure in Konoha and asked with a smile if there was such a good opportunity.

The Iwagakure representative was shocked: "Impossible! It couldn't be us! We're not! We didn't do it! It must be that bastard from Kusagakure making things up!"

I worked overtime today, didn't get back until after 7 PM. I didn't even shower before finishing this chapter. Damn it, they say New Year's Day is three days, but they have to make up for it on Sunday. What kind of holiday is that? I'm so fed up. As for my mentor suggesting I take on freelance work, I thought about it and refused. It's not that I don't need the money, nor is it to use my free time to write novels. It's just one thing: the benefits and risks aren't equal. If the company finds out and I get fired, that's a minor issue. If the company puts on my resume that I'm doing freelance work outside the company, I'll never be able to find a job again. Such a huge risk for eight or nine thousand yuan a month? Honestly, it's not worth it. So I refused. (By the way, if I said I refused my mentor because I wanted to use my free time to write for you readers, would I get some votes?)
