Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 139 The Seeking the Dao Jade?! The Third Generation's Intention to Retire (10,000 words, please subscribe)

The terrifying chakra fluctuations that erupted from the Land of Grass immediately attracted the attention of the entire ninja world.

This is especially true for some major powers, who are terrified because their shadows have actually been deployed!

Now that I'm facing this problem, I don't know what the outcome will be.

Moreover, it's not just because of the shadows, but also because some ambitious guys in the village will show up at times like this!

The troubles of other villages are none of Xiuze's concern, and Xiuze has already embarked on his journey back to his village.

The land of grass is bathed in bright sunshine.

Seemingly unaffected by the previous battle, the bright sunshine seemed to reflect Xiuze's good mood at this moment.

However, compared to his smiling face, the expressions of Onoki, the Fourth Raikage, and others behind them were extremely ugly.

"Smile! You're all still alive, Lord Tsuchikage. Your son, Huang Tu, is still alive. Shouldn't you be happier?"

And Raikage, we saved your brother Killer Bee, and you look so worried, we all thought he was dead.

"Son of a bitch"

"hateful."

Shuzawa's words immediately made the Fourth Raikage and Onoki's fists harden. This bastard really can't say anything nice!

At this moment, their mood was extremely bad. Even though they survived, they couldn't help but wonder if it would have been better if they had died.

Especially the Fourth Raikage, who was captured once again and sent to Konoha as a "guest" once again, he really couldn't hold back anymore!

"Alright, Xiuze, stop talking."

Xi Yan couldn't bear to watch any longer. She gently nudged Xiu Ze and whispered something.

"People from the Land of Rain and Yekura are looking for you; it seems they want to discuss something."

"Yes, senior."

Xiuze blinked and then stopped talking.

It's fine to tease these guys a little, but we have to be careful about the limits. If they suddenly decide to "sacrifice themselves for righteousness," Xiuze will be at a huge loss!

After all, this operation has been extremely successful so far!

Danzo Shimura is dead.

He died a very quick and decisive death, but also a very tragic one.

Faced with Konan and Nagato, who were furious to the extreme, and Kabuto, whose heart was burning with a raging fire, he had absolutely no chance to fight back!

Even though he still has the Four Symbols Seal on him, and even though he possesses a technique like Izanagi.

But just as Hidezawa said, as long as he watched, Danzo would have no chance to do anything!

Surrounded by several angry individuals, if Hidezawa hadn't intervened slightly, "Lord Danzo" would likely have become "Danzo-chan" by now.

"However, going back to sew up the corpse is quite a hassle."

Xiuze was a little annoyed, but as he walked over there, he suddenly saw Dou who seemed to still be in a daze, so he gave him a tap on the back of the head!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Dou, who had been in a daze, snapped back to reality and looked back at Xiuze's smiling face, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Are you feeling better?"

Xiuze's smiling face now showed concern.

"If he's still not awake, I'll do it again, and I promise it'll be heavier than before!"

"."

Dou pursed his lips, gently rubbed his head, and sighed after a moment.

"Why do you always have to dampen other people's spirits when they're happy?"

"I don't see why you're happy."

Xiuze shook his head, gently touched the ninja tool pouch at his waist, and said with a smile.

"And it's not exactly a cold shower, after all, I promised Danzo that he would die, and now I'm just fulfilling that promise."

That's what he said, but Xiuze's smile became incredibly bright, which made Dou almost lose his composure.

You're saying nice things, but you're secretly overjoyed, aren't you?

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to back down, since he couldn't win and he was also a little curious.

"Speaking of which, Danzo's body is already mangled, why are you still keeping it? You're not going to hand it over, are you?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the group of ninjas from the Land of Rain not far away.

Konan also looks like a Rain Ninja, but that's not the key point. The key point is Pain!

Even though Nagato had disguised Pain as a Rain Ninja ANBU member, Kabuto hadn't forgotten Pain's true identity.

He lowered his voice to the lowest possible level and spoke softly.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you in contact with members of the Akatsuki?"

"They are Jiraiya's disciples. In other words, I traded Danzo's life for information about the Akatsuki."

Xiuze naturally understood what Xiuze meant, and he brought out the speech he had prepared long ago.

Moreover, he had been sensing his surroundings the whole way. Now that Obito Uchiha had arrived, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu must have arrived as well. He had to make sure nothing went wrong.

"However, I hope only a few of us know about their situation. This is to protect their safety, and also to protect ourselves, understand?"

"I won't say anything more; you should think more about that Uchiha."

Dou sighed and looked at the light behind him.

Hikaru was standing with the Root ninjas, guarding the Fourth Raikage and the others, but he seemed to be lost in thought.

All the Root Uchiha ninjas around her were watching her, but none of them dared to approach her and speak to her.

Even if there's still water, this guy is getting excited right now.

"Don't worry, she won't tell."

Xiuze shrugged nonchalantly, put one hand on Dou's neck, and said with a smile.

"She lives with me. She's a very nice person and doesn't talk nonsense."

"Oh?! Is that so?"

Dou's lips twitched. What the hell is all this?

Xiuze lives with Xiyan, so why is there another one?

However, Kabuto eventually nodded silently; there were some things he dared not say.

"I understand, but Danzo's body..."

"There's no corpse here, he's turned into mincemeat!"

Xiuze glared at Dou with displeasure, and said with an extremely serious expression.

"Danzo, along with Orochimaru, defected to Konoha. He has now been executed, and his remains are nowhere to be found. Do you understand?"

"."

Dou rubbed his temples and finally decided not to ask any more questions.

He finally understood just how ambitious his old friend truly was; there were some things he was better off not knowing.

Xiuze nodded in satisfaction as he saw that Dou had quieted down.

He was extremely satisfied with this operation!

Not only did he get rid of his old boss, but he also avenged himself for being forcibly dragged into the inner circle and subjected to grueling training back then.

Incidentally, because of his old boss's "world-famous" status with his help, he attracted two shadows and two elders.

The future development plan for the company is basically in place.

Most importantly, Xiuze's system also refreshed at this moment!

Mission Completed: Hunt down Danzo Shimura

[Reward details are currently being compiled]

Although he didn't know what the reward would be this time, Xiuze was in a really good mood!

No matter how you look at it, his reward this time won't be bad.

"You're looking for me?"

Although he was thinking about other things, Xiuze pulled Kabuto along and came to Konan and Yekura.

Chiyo and Ebizo were also here. Their situation was somewhat special. Although they were also prisoners, they were allies of Konoha and naturally followed Pakura.

Although Kabuto wanted to leave, he was held back by Xiuzhe and obediently followed.

"Yes, thank you, Xiuze."

Ye Cang spoke first, her expression sincere after a slight sigh.

"Thank you for not killing them. Although I hate them both, they are still very important to the village."

"No need for thanks, I've already said we're allies."

Xiuze shook his head slightly, then looked at Konan beside him and Payne, who was disguised as an ANBU member.

"Since you're all here, let me share some of my thoughts. Remember when I said I would express my sincerity?"

"."

Xiao Nan glared angrily at Xiu Ze. This guy is getting more and more unscrupulous!

However, she nodded silently, remembering most of what Xiuze had said.

"That's good, Yecang. I haven't forgotten what I told you."

Xiuze looked at Yecang and spoke calmly. Yecang thought for a moment and nodded.

She suddenly realized something: was Xiuze about to resolve this matter?

Her expression startled Chiyo and Ebizo. What was she trying to say so mysteriously?

But soon, they were all dumbfounded!

"That's good."

Xiuze smiled, then looked at Xiaonan and Payne and slowly began to speak.

"The Land of Wind is arid and plagued by sandstorms, and Sunagakure Village is facing a severe shortage of water."

The Land of Rain is quite the opposite; you have abundant rainfall resources, but Lord Hanzo must be short of funds right now.

Sunagakure is an ally of Konoha, and the Land of Rain is now cooperating with us. I think that since that's the case, we can complement each other in some special way.

For example, Sunagakure could fund the construction of an underground pipeline to transport the water source of the Land of Rain to Sunagakure, thus enabling the Land of Rain to obtain sufficient funds to improve itself.

This will also provide Sunagakure with sufficient water resources, which I think would be a win-win situation.

Win-win?

Xiao Nan and Payne were momentarily stunned upon hearing these words.

Can the rainwater that gives them headaches be used in this way?

The rain in the Land of Rain never stopped, as if it would never cease, plunging the entire country into a nameless sorrow.

It was as if even the heavens were weeping for them!

Upon hearing Xiuze's words, they suddenly realized just how valuable this rainwater was.

Chiyo and Ebizo were also stunned. They weren't newbies like Konan and Nagato; they had thought about this kind of thing long ago.

However, due to the current situation and political reasons, such a thing is almost impossible to achieve!

Besides that, it's also due to technical and financial reasons.

Of course, the most important thing is funding. Technology can be solved, and Chiyo has the confidence to do so, but they don't have the money.

However, the situation seems to be different now. If Konoha continues to recognize them as allies and provides some necessary assistance, it seems that both political and economic reasons can be resolved!

"This plan seems good."

Konan and Nagato exchanged a glance before hesitatingly speaking.

"But, it seems like Sunagakure doesn't have much money, does it?"

"."

Chiyo and Ebizo's faces immediately darkened. How could the people of Amegakure be so rude?

Ye Cang couldn't help but glance at Xiao Nan. This woman, why does she always bring up the most sensitive topics?

"We really don't have any money, but Xiuze brought up this issue so that he's here to find a solution."

"That's right, I do have some ideas."

Xiuze didn't hide anything and said with a smile.

"I can persuade Konoha to provide some financial support, but the price is the small country controlled by Sunagakure."

"The small countries under their control?"

Chiyo's expression immediately darkened upon hearing this, while Ebizo, who seemed to have some prior experience dealing with Hidezawa, was more relaxed.

"Does Konoha still care about that small mission quota? Besides, we've already investigated, and we don't have many mineral resources in our small country."

"This is just a drop in the ocean for Konoha. What exactly do you want?"

"You don't need to think too much about what we want; it's all pretty much the same to you anyway. Don't forget you were involved in this operation."

Xiuze blinked, which almost made the two old guys explode with anger, but they also understood.

This could be considered a way to save face, but the thought of the losses made them fall silent.

That's a huge loss.

"Although I'm not sure what your purpose is, this is something we can definitely talk about."

Although Yekura knew what losing those small countries meant for Sunagakure, she didn't want to think about it at the moment.

Just as Hidezawa said, Sunagakure's involvement in this operation gave them a pretext to criticize them.

Even if the negotiations later will result in losses, it's better to use Hidezawa's "stepping stone" to get down directly and exchange it for more substantial benefits for Sunagakure!

"Don't look so gloomy. Although I am no longer affiliated with Danzo, I have experienced everything that happened before Danzo, and I agree with one thing."

Xiuze glanced at Yecang, then shrugged and smiled as he spoke.

"I also believe that the current Fourth Kazekage is a person full of adventurous spirit, and having such a spirit makes one a good ninja."

However, I don't think a qualified shadow should possess such a spirit, especially since his attitude towards his allies was extremely insincere.

"Yakura, you are a sincere person, just like Danzo, and I support you."

Although the words were spoken cryptically, everyone—Yakura, Chiyo, and Ebizo—knew what they meant.

Moreover, this operation has indeed made Chiyo and Ebizo even more dissatisfied. Hidezawa's actions seem to have been fatal to the Kazekage!

The action was forced upon them by the Kazekage, and Yekura had always been firmly opposed to it. However, the power that Hidezawa displayed this time has completely proven everything.

If Yekura brings back solutions to the water shortage problem in Sunagakure and even the Land of Wind, and if Konoha were to take over those smaller countries from Sunagakure...

The situation for the Fourth Kazekage will only get worse this time, and Pakura's reputation will rise even further!

Once they understood this point, their expressions immediately improved considerably.

"I understand. We will maintain communication and contact with the Land of Rain regarding this matter."

"Our Land of Rain is also willing to cooperate, but we will need greater support from Konoha in terms of technology."

Konan and Pain would not oppose the plan at all. If it could be implemented, it would be an unimaginable blessing for their Land of Rain!

The fact that such an inexhaustible source of water, which even annoyed them, could be utilized in this way, was truly a blessing from heaven.

However, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that someone can coordinate everything so that these resources can be truly utilized.

Xiuze seems to have really accomplished all of this!

"Then let's look forward to your good news, and also to my good news."

Xiuze nodded, then turned around and prepared to return to his own marching unit.

Successfully bringing this together was of great significance to him.

"Are you crazy?"

But after leaving this place, Dou couldn't hold back anymore.

"You're indirectly strengthening these two regions, and Konoha will suffer heavy losses. The Hokage will never agree to this!"

"Oh?"

Xiuze tilted his head and looked at Dou. He found it a little funny, but he could understand what Dou meant.

In fact, Xiuze never understood why the world's attitude towards small countries was always so simple.

In short, they are simply used as a source of mission quotas.

At most, they plunder raw materials, such as mineral resources, and then they ignore the rest.

There were absolutely no ideas for improvement; it was just the most primitive utilization rate.

"Let me ask you a question: why are these small countries unable to develop?"

"Of course, without the protection of a ninja village and sandwiched between major powers, there's simply no chance for development!"

"Leaving aside the major powers, why can't Shinobi Village develop?"

"Why are you asking such a question? Naturally, without sufficient influence and money, they can't even train ninjas. Without powerful enough ninjas to back them up, they can't gain trust."

Dou didn't understand what Xiuze meant, but he had no choice but to cooperate and speak in a low voice.

"Without trust, there are no tasks; without tasks, there are no funds; and small countries and big names will not contribute, ultimately creating a vicious cycle."

"Do you understand perfectly well what our advantages are?"

Xiuze blinked, looked at Kabuto and asked in a low voice, then smiled and said without waiting for Kabuto to speak.

"We have money. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire is very rich, and Konoha is not short of money either, so why don't we do something about it?"

For example, with the small country we acquired this time, Konoha can support them with some missions so they can earn money.

We have a mission, but what if we don't have enough ninjas?

It's very simple. Send some Jonin over there to teach them some useful knowledge.

Even if there isn't a sufficient medical system to support them, that's fine. Konoha has a complete medical system that we can share directly with them.

With missions secured, ninjas acquired, and a medical system to protect their lives established, it's natural that more money can be made.

"Are you doing charity work?!"

Dou couldn't hold back any longer; he truly couldn't understand Xiuze's wild imagination.

"This is just a small amount of money. How much will we get? The most crucial question is, what if they don't obey?"

"It is indeed a small amount of money. After all, the big money is for large-scale missions and the protection of caravans."

Xiuze nodded, patted Dou on the shoulder, and continued to laugh.

"Besides that, there are some infrastructure projects. However, making money from infrastructure is always a slow and steady process, and it doesn't necessarily come from the current infrastructure projects."

We can hire people from the Land of Fire to build it, and we can also hire local people. Of course, building infrastructure will require ninja protection. Wouldn't that cost money?

If people work there, will the surrounding area experience a surge in consumption? Will those who earn money become even wealthier upon returning to Konoha?

With a good transportation network, wouldn't caravans choose to travel in these directions? Couldn't they make a good profit from the tolls?

As for whether they will obey orders or not, as long as the ninjas sent out spread the word a little and train them according to our requirements and standards, would they disobey?

If we don't obey, what are we even doing here?

"this"

Kabuto was stunned for a moment, then felt a chill run down his spine. Was this some kind of plan to establish a satellite ninja village?

He could imagine that, following the entire process, a complete small ninja village could probably be created!

Furthermore, Konoha had a profound influence by helping this ninja village establish itself, and he could even guess what kind of ninjas it would produce in the future!

But he soon realized that the key issue was still money!

"You're broke. You're not thinking of starting a side hustle, are you?"

"That's right."

Xiuze nodded and spoke very seriously.

"After doing so much, it's time to talk about money."

Of the funds allocated to these villages, we naturally have to pay for a portion of the tasks. Besides that, they've just been established and probably don't have enough strategic resources.

Our village has a huge stock of these things, including weapons and medical supplies, which we can easily sell to them.

This way, not only can we reduce Konoha's losses, but we can also make a huge profit!

Furthermore, their help in building infrastructure has boosted their economy, and we can certainly dump even more goods into their markets in the future.

We could even control their tariffs and extract even more profit from them!

Xiuze's words made Kabuto unconsciously swallow. He seemed to be able to see the future. Xiuze didn't stop. He looked at Kabuto and spoke earnestly.

"I firmly believe in one thing: if you want to make money, you have to put in the effort. How much money can a poor person scrape off? Collecting taxes for fifty years won't help!"

Besides, we've gained money and influence, and we can even use this opportunity to make the Hokage realize the importance of Root's external influence.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Why do you think he refused?"

"."

Dou was completely speechless now, because he felt that his way of thinking was too different from the guy in front of him!

He really wanted to dig into Xiuze's head to see what this guy was thinking, how he could come up with so many messy, yet seemingly very reasonable plans.

Could this also be part of Danzo's training?

"Nagato, what do you think of this plan?"

After Hidezawa left, Konan and Nagato headed towards their unit, but her gaze remained fixed on Hidezawa in the distance. After a while, she suddenly looked up and asked.

"I don't know, I'm not good at these things, but..."

Wearing a mask, Payne remained silent for a moment, then shook his head and spoke seriously.

"I feel this isn't a bad thing for us. I really never imagined the Land of Rain could develop like this, but it seems he'll have to pay a heavy price for it."

"Um"

Konan nodded. They couldn't hear what Hidezawa and Kabuto were saying, but according to their conventional thinking, it wouldn't be easy for Hidezawa to persuade the Hokage.

But they also believed that Xiuze could do it, which made them feel somewhat emotional.

"Shuzawa has really helped us so much, not only with this, but also with Danzo."

"Well, at least I can finally give Yahiko an explanation."

Nagato, who was in the distance, also sighed softly, though he was now struggling to contain his excitement.

Danzo and Hanzo.

We finally got rid of those two menaces!

They deserved to die!

Everything from that year was like a nightmare, tormenting him constantly and driving him toward revenge.

Now, everything is done, although he still hasn't achieved the peaceful world that Yahiko longed for.

But when he looked up and saw Xiuze's "immortal body," he felt that none of this was as far away as he had imagined.

The combination of the "Eye of the Immortal" and the "Body of the Immortal" will surely bring peace to the world!

"I have to thank Xiuze for all of this."

Nagato controlled Pain and slowly spoke, his gaze serious.

"From now on, we need to show more sincerity."

"."

Konan glanced at Nagato, momentarily speechless. Did she really need to show more "sincerity"?

Before she could figure it out, Xiuze, who was in the distance, seemed to have heard what they were saying and suddenly turned around.

"Sincerity, please. The more sincere the offer, the better. I'm waiting for it!"

"."

"Is Danzo dead?"

Inside the Hokage's office in Konoha Village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had his back to Hidezawa and was looking out the window, making it impossible to discern his expression.

However, he was truly unhappy at this moment. Even though he had long anticipated that his old friend would die, this outcome still made him feel terrible.

After all, they've been bound together for fifty or sixty years, and to suddenly receive such an outcome would be extremely difficult for anyone to accept.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Xiuze nodded, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"The rogue ninja Danzo was affected by my True Several Thousand Hands technique, and Orochimaru had already escaped. I was unable to capture him."

However, he said some things to me before he died, and also hoped that some things could be passed on to the Hokage.

"Yeah?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then asked, feeling both tired and curious.

"What did he say?"

He told me that the future of Konoha was in my hands and that I shouldn't follow his example.

Hidezawa started talking nonsense. It wasn't that he had any good feelings towards Danzo, otherwise Danzo wouldn't have needed stitches.

It was just to give Danzo a version that was likely consistent with his character, so that Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't suddenly decide to investigate and make things unclear one day.

Of course, the most important thing is to provoke the Third Hokage.

"In addition, he asked me to tell the Hokage that he had lost his whole life, just because he was one second too slow."

In that very second, the Hokage decided to make him his shadow for life, and he no longer wanted to be a shadow.

Even the roots of a tree buried deep underground have a heart that yearns for the sun. For his entire life, the Hokage never gave him a single chance, and he will never forgive him, no matter what.

Xiuze paused slightly at this point before continuing.

"Of course, Hokage, this is just the one-sided story of a rogue ninja, please don't take it to heart."

Is that so?

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained standing quietly by the window, his bitter smile reflected in the glass.

"So, that's how I've become in his eyes?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also in pain, as he could sense that these were indeed the words of his old friend.

These words, however, had a rather significant impact on him.

It turns out their bond had changed long ago. Is this how I am seen by my old friend?

Did Danzo remember that one second of hesitation for the rest of his life?

The Hokage's office fell into an endless silence for a long while before Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke.

"Xiuze, do you think I was wrong?"

"Lord Hokage, I have no right to criticize these things."

Xiuze immediately shook his head; he had no interest in dealing with such matters.

Whether the Hokage was sad or not had nothing to do with him; he was already having a blast!

Because his system has been refreshed.

[Task completed]

Hunting Danzo Shimura

[Task Rating: SS]

[Reward: 15 Free Points]

[Current Free Points: 25]

The system refreshed to this point, and it looked quite ordinary, even offering pitifully small rewards!

But as Xiuze continued reading, his breathing suddenly became rapid.

Due to the unexpected developments in the situation, the Fourth Raikage, along with the Eight-Tails and his Anbu forces, and the Third Tsuchikage, along with his troops, were dispatched.

The Sand Village and Akatsuki organizations also cooperated in the operation, causing incalculable damage and impact, and were therefore awarded a special reward.

[Reward 1: Understanding of the Truth-Seeking Sphere's Ability]

[Reward 2: The Way of Balance (Oonoki)]

[Reward 3: Obito Uchiha's understanding of space-time manipulation abilities]

[Reward 4: Free Points Doubled]

[Current Free Points: 50]

Looking at this series of rewards that have emerged, Xiuze himself felt incredulous, especially the first one, which left Xiuze completely dumbfounded!

Seeking Dao Jade?

Isn't this the most overpowered weapon or ability in the ninja world?

The Seeking the Dao Jewel can be considered an exclusive item for super strong individuals, and it's almost a standard item for Six Paths level experts!

However, it is extremely difficult to use Truth-Seeking Balls. The basic requirement is that one must possess chakra of all attributes.

At the same time, it requires a very high level of control over chakra and mastery over various chakra attributes!

After all, it does not belong to the category of "bloodline limit" but rather to the category of "techniques", yet it can easily unleash power that surpasses bloodline limits and bloodline elimination!

As for why the foreign Otsutsuki don't use Truth-Seeking Balls, a big possibility is that they have no interest in honing their skills.

Their power was entirely derived from the fruits of the divine tree that devoured life, and that immense power allowed them to sweep across countless worlds with brute force.

Just like dinosaurs, they have become the masters of the Earth, standing at the top of the food chain and able to show off wildly.

Nature wouldn't take the same unconventional path as humans; instead of focusing on physical fitness, it prioritized brain development.

For dinosaurs, absolute power was all they needed to do, so they naturally wouldn't waste their energy. The same was true for the Otsutsuki.

"I actually got this!"

Xiuze himself was somewhat incredulous. He didn't even need to read the instructions; he knew that this was probably another good item dropped by Hei Zetsu!

In high-level games, you really have to look to Black Zetsu.

Although this guy doesn't have much fighting ability, the money you get from him is never bad!

Last time, they received further supplements to the "Yin-Yang Release" formula book, as well as some of Black Zetsu's own Yin-Yang Release abilities. They never expected that this time they would be exploiting his memories.

Black Zetsu's fighting power can only be described in abstract terms. It would be inaccurate to say that he has no offensive capabilities. He can control Obito and also have a heart-to-heart conversation with Madara Uchiha.

However, to say that he has considerable strength is obviously nonsense. If he had that ability, he would have started to act openly. Why would he continue to hide?

However, none of these are the key points. The key point is that he has a lot of information hidden in his mind!

Even though he was created by Kaguya Otsutsuki at the last moment, he is still Kaguya Otsutsuki's son no matter how you look at it, and he has a lot of knowledge in his mind that is hard for ordinary people to imagine!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to deceive so many reincarnations of Indra's chakra.

"The Seeking Truth Jewel... it's truly a wonderful item."

Xiuze clenched his fist. To fuse the Truth-Seeking Ball, he needed all the necessary chakra attributes, and their levels had to be even. This was another motivation to frantically farm 'Free Points'.

As for his other abilities, they are actually quite good as well.

For example, Onoki's "Way of Balance" is quite simple to explain.

[While Dust Release has a formula, without sufficient ninjutsu balancing talent, fusion cannot be completed. You can choose your own talent to fuse.]

This ability is basically equivalent to Orochimaru's "Ninjutsu Scientist" and Hiruzen Sarutobi's "Ninja World Doctor," both of which are applied to techniques.

The insights gained from Obito Uchiha's dimension were somewhat similar to the "official guidebook" that Hidezawa had previously obtained, but upon closer examination, he discovered that they were also quite different.

[Can gain special spatial insights, improving one's spatial ability level]

Upon seeing this explanation, Xiuze's expression turned somewhat strange. Wouldn't this just make him even more reckless in targeting Uchiha Obito?

His only spatial ability is the "Flying Thunder God Technique," which upgrades the level of the Flying Thunder God.

"Wouldn't that mean we could use the [Ninjutsu Scientist] to simulate a technique even more suitable for spatial attacks?"

Xiuze glanced at his panel and couldn't help but fall into deep thought!

But no matter what, if he fully utilizes and masters all these abilities, he'll truly be invincible.

"Forget it, you shouldn't say that!"

Suddenly, Xiuze shook his head, then looked up at the sky, but quickly turned back to look at the ground.

Invincible.

But what if enemies come from the sky?

There are also enemies from underground.

"You're certainly cautious enough."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no idea what Hidezawa was thinking. He shook his head with a hint of distress, sighed, and continued speaking.

"You can't have this kind of mentality. Sometimes you need to be more proactive, like how you aspire to be the head of the root department."

I'm getting old, and the Hokage position ultimately needs young people. I hope you can all step up your efforts and shoulder even greater responsibilities.

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed. He knew he shouldn't have said this, but Danzo's last words had made some of his thoughts weigh on him.

Perhaps he really is getting old?

Perhaps he really should replace him?

This idea had been around for a while, but it was growing stronger. He was even wondering if some of his actions had been inappropriate, which had led Danzo into this predicament.

For example, his return to Hokage provoked Danzo.

For example, his leniency towards Danzo emboldened Danzo to become increasingly reckless.

For example, his suppression of Danzo made Danzo even more insane.

All sorts of chaotic thoughts swirled in his mind. With Danzo's death, he suddenly felt a kind of exhaustion, an exhaustion that came from the bottom of his heart!

He felt that perhaps he really should retire.

"Never mind, I'm not going to say anything more."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and changed the subject.

"You actually used the First Generation's ultimate technique, the True Several Thousand Hands, this time. That's incredible."

"I'm afraid I need more time to practice, and using this move is also a big burden for me."

Xiuze blinked and spoke truthfully.

"It's already incredible that you can even use it. Xiuze, your talent is unmatched."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and smiled.

"Also, I've seen your plan. It's a very good suggestion, and this time it has proven that your idea is correct."

Konoha definitely needs a clear organization to communicate with the outside world; I agree with your suggestion.

"Thank you, Hokage."

Xiuze nodded in satisfaction. His old boss's sacrifice to the heavens was incredibly powerful; that was no exaggeration!

Now he can finally go to the 'dinner table' and have a good feast.

"However, the best option is that you didn't go too far with Onoki and the others."

However, just as Hidezawa was secretly pleased, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly spoke again.

"If they die, the ninja world will never have peace!"

But speaking of which, how did you deal with them? Did you let them go back?

"Um, this one."

When asked this question, Xiuze fell silent for a moment.

He used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return when he was almost at Konoha, which meant that Kakashi and the others were still on their way, and Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally hadn't received the news.

His silence at this moment seemed to Hiruzen Sarutobi as a tsunami, and he stared blankly at Hidezawa and asked incredulously.

"You're letting them go, right?"

"."

"you"

"Lord Hokage, here is another report, which contains some of my arrangements and plans for Sunagakure and the Land of Rain. Please take a look."

"."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was already feeling a bit short of breath, but he seemed to have faced this kind of thing many times before, and he was able to deal with it somewhat calmly.

After taking several deep breaths, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally took the scroll and began to read it. But as soon as he read the first opening, he felt his heart skip a beat.

"Using the surrounding small countries already controlled by Sunagakure to exchange for Chiyo and Ebizo?!"

"Provide financial support to Sunagakure and technical support to the Land of Rain to help both sides build a water pipeline?"

"Investing in building a small nation and establishing a ninja village system?"

"To build infrastructure and ensure the passage of caravans?"

"you"

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't finish reading; he shakily raised his hand and pointed at Hidezawa.

boom--

The next moment, to Xiuze's astonishment, he collapsed heavily onto the desk.

"Hokage-sama? Falling asleep the moment your head hits the pillow is a privilege of the young. You have such heavy responsibilities, how can you possibly sleep?"

"."

"Lord Hokage, are you alright?"

"."

"Quickly, call the medical department! The Hokage is dying!"

"."

Watching the game last night really got to me, and it made me feel uncomfortable writing this. Sorry for being so late.
