Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 81 The wind carries the sounds of unfulfilled desires (Second update, please subscribe)

"You bunch of bastards! You've completely ruined this beautiful town!"

On the outskirts of the town, Tsunade looked at the Fourth Raikage beside her, whose chakra was sealed, whose body was bound by Wood Release, and whose face was full of anger.

She turned her head and glanced again at the town, which was now mostly ruins and practically destroyed, her face filled with displeasure.

In her opinion, ninjas should at least adhere to their duties and should not attack ordinary people indiscriminately, right?

Besides, this town has so many casinos; now that they've been destroyed, when will they ever be able to be rebuilt?

"This doesn't seem to concern us."

Shuzawa glanced at the Fourth Raikage, who was still struggling, and shrugged at Tsunade.

"It wasn't us who wanted to fight. Our mission was to find you and bring you back. Who knew we'd run into this guy, and that he'd be the one to attack us!"

Although Xiuze had undergone many trials in the Root and had countless lives on his hands, he did not have the habit of harming ordinary people.

At least he didn't think that attacking an ordinary person would bring him much satisfaction, especially since ninjas from large ninja villages would try their best to avoid attacking civilians.

This can seriously damage your reputation; a bad reputation can easily discourage people from posting tasks with you.

A decrease in the number of missions would be a devastating blow to the entire ninja village.

Even Danzo's Root would try to avoid this, since Root generally leaves no trace when it does things.

As long as no one sees that I did it, who would dare to accuse me of being the one who did it?

"Perhaps we could have the Hidden Cloud Village pay for the compensation?"

Shisui rubbed his eyes. He could already feel that his eyes were not very comfortable, but he still couldn't help but speak after hearing these words.

"After all, it was their Raikage who struck first, so it's only reasonable for them to pay compensation, isn't it?"

"Let's discuss these things later; right now, the most important thing is this guy."

Tsunade shook her head. She didn't need to worry about compensation. There was a village, and an old man in the village. He would handle any trouble that might arise.

However, the most important thing right now is the Fourth Raikage. She herself didn't expect that Hidezawa would actually capture this guy!

But getting arrested is just the beginning of the trouble...

"Jingyin, and Xiyan, you two keep an eye on him."

Thinking of this, Tsunade spoke directly to Shizune, who was holding the pink Ton-Ton, and Yugao, who was looking at Ton-Ton. Then she grabbed Hidezawa and looked at Shisui at the same time.

"You two, come with me."

"..."

Xiuze glanced at his hand that was being held and wondered if he should continue following along now that things had come to this.

But it's very slippery...

Although it's not as soft as Yugao, it still feels pretty good!

It must be said that medical ninjas do have some special benefits. No matter how well a normal ninja takes care of themselves, their hands will have calluses left from long-term training.

Even if the nourishment from chakra isn't as obvious, it's still something that can't be changed.

However, medical ninjas are different; they can use special methods to make these cocoons disappear without causing any harm.

Moreover, Xiuze looked up at the swaying white skin that remained still as she walked, and he felt that this was perhaps the ideal of an adult woman!

"Okay, this is fine."

Tsunade had no idea what Hidezawa was thinking, otherwise she would have pulled hard on his hand. Turning around, she looked intently at Hidezawa and Shisui.

"You two brats, you don't actually want to take that guy back with you, do you?"

"Um, Lady Tsunade, is there a problem with this?"

Shisui looked puzzled. If they had captured the Fourth Raikage, they should definitely take him back!

Who would want to miss out on the feat of capturing an entire village?

"idiot."

Tsunade couldn't help but shake her head when she heard Shisui's words. If it weren't for the fact that this kid was so strong, she really wouldn't want to pay any attention to him.

She never expected that this brat named Shisui would actually awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan!

What surprised her even more was that the old man actually wanted him to partner with Xiuze Xiuze?

"Is this a replica of my grandfather and Madara Uchiha?"

Of course, it's also possible that Xiuze wanted to keep an eye on Uchiha Shisui, so that even if she left Konoha, she would know that the old man was her second grandfather's disciple.

Her second grandfather, however, was always on guard against the Uchiha clan.

"You're definitely making assumptions, Shisui."

Shuzawa shook his head at this moment, and spoke directly before Tsunade could speak.

"Capturing a shadow is certainly appealing, but it seems you haven't considered the practicalities, have you?"

"well?"

Shisui looked at Xiuze with a blank expression. Wasn't it you who wanted to arrest people?

Tsunade was also puzzled; she didn't know what was going on with Hidezawa.

"The shadow is the highest symbol of a village, and his capture can indeed dampen the morale of enemy villages."

Xiuze shrugged and said indifferently.

"But it could also ignite the anger of that village, thus sparking a new war."

"Forehead"

Zhishui was stunned by these words. Didn't they just grab a hot potato?

Throwing it away doesn't seem like a good deal, but bringing it back is like having a ticking time bomb?

Shisui was a little annoyed, while Tsunade breathed a slight sigh of relief. She hadn't expected this kid to be so rational.

"Most importantly, we are fighting where there are people."

However, Xiuze continued to speak softly.

"Where there are people, it proves that our battle has been seen. Whether it's the fighting style or the techniques used, leaving traces makes it easy for people to come looking for us."

"If it were a deserted place, even killing the Fourth Raikage wouldn't be a big deal, just like how Sasori killed the Third Kazekage?"

"well?"

Tsunade was stunned for a moment. What kind of news was this?

Isn't Sasori of the Red Sand the grandson of that old codger Chiyo? Her grandson killed the Third Kazekage.

"Indeed, it's a pity."

Shisui nodded. Sunagakure had searched for so many years without finding anything, but they still managed to discover this matter.

"Of course, as long as we raze this town to the ground, our information will not be exposed."

But at that moment, Xiuze suddenly said something extremely shocking.

"I'll use Wood Release to trap everyone. As long as I don't use chakra to defend, Shisui, you can use Fire Release to ignite my Wood Release. One fire will burn everything to ashes!"

Dangping Town?

Shisui and Tsunade were both stunned, especially Tsunade, whose face was full of astonishment.

What the hell are you talking about? Who did you learn all these things from?

Why does his style of doing things resemble Danzo so much?

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Tsunade grabbed Hidezawa by the collar, her face full of anger.

"What are you thinking? Is this how the old man taught you?"

"Lady Tsunade, I was just using an analogy."

Xiuze blinked, then nodded.

"Although I'm not sure who this old man you're talking about is, this is what Lord Danzo taught me during my training at Root."

"."

Did he train under Danzo?

Tsunade was somewhat surprised, but before she could ask anything further, Hidezawa spoke up.

"Of course, I would not do that. I have always thought that Lord Danzo's methods are sometimes too extreme."

"."

Tsunade released her grip, unsure of what to say, while Shisui was equally confused.

"So, what exactly do you mean, Xiuze?"

"The meaning is simple: the person will definitely be brought back."

Xiuze smiled and began to explain.

"However, to avoid war, we will not bring him into Konoha. I know there are some bases belonging to Root or Anbu outside Konoha."

After all, the Fourth Raikage's subordinates were injured; taking them there to recuperate is surely the right thing to do, isn't it?

"."

Why does that sound like burying your head in the sand?

"And since everyone witnessed the battle, we should just suggest publicizing it."

Xiuze shrugged and continued.

"Just say that the Fourth Raikage made a bet with Lady Tsunade, and if he wins, he will help heal his subordinates."

However, we, the secret agents, were unaware of the actual situation, so we intervened, and the end result was that half of the town was destroyed.

Fortunately, the Fourth Raikage has agreed to compensate the town for its losses, and Lady Tsunade has also agreed to help treat the Fourth Raikage's subordinates.

After all, with the halo of the Third Raikage preceding him, it shouldn't be a big problem for the Fourth Raikage to suffer this injustice, and he can also gain a good reputation for cherishing his subordinates.

See, the problem is basically solved this way?

As for the rest, I'll leave it to the Hokage to decide.

"."

Shuzawa's words left Shisui and Tsunade speechless.

Shisui was alright; having experienced a lot, he calmed down after a brief moment of surprise.

Tsunade, on the other hand, was filled with astonishment. What was wrong with this kid's brain? How could he come up with such a bizarre method?

However, she was, after all, a legitimate member of the Senju clan. As a child, she was forced to learn a lot by her second grandfather, and her teacher was the Third Hokage.

Some things, you'll understand them eventually through exposure and observation.

She had to admit that Xiuze's method seemed to actually work!

This not only saved face for the Fourth Raikage, giving him a good reputation, but also helped him achieve his goal.

At the same time, it prevents him and the Hidden Cloud Village behind him from having a chance to retaliate, since no Kage would or would want to talk about such a shameful thing!

Of course, if the Cloud Village is truly eccentric enough, it will eventually erupt.

The one who would lose face is the Fourth Raikage, and in name, Kumogakure is in the wrong, while Konoha has the moral high ground to back them up.

As for whether they can win or not.

"That's settled then. Let the old man deal with it later!"

Tsunade is also single, and she really doesn't want to think too much about such a troublesome thing.

Moreover, if trouble were to arise, Konoha does not seem to be without the power to fight back.

Whether it's himself, or Jiraiya who's indulging in debauchery with who knows which woman, or...

Her gaze shifted slightly, landing on Xiuze and Shisui, whose fighting prowess should not be underestimated!

However, this little brat Xiuze, she originally thought he had the shadow of her great-grandfather, but now he looks more like her second grandfather.

"Then let's get ready. I'll go capture them and then head back to Konoha. This matter can't be delayed."

Shaking her head, Tsunade turned and headed towards the Fourth Raikage. Shusawa and Shisui exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

"Are you done talking? Are you going to let me go now?"

When they returned, the Fourth Raikage looked up at Hidezawa and the others, a mocking expression on his face.

"I don't think your Konoha can withstand a war right now."

"We've indeed finished talking. I think Lord Danzo and Lord Hokage will be very interested in you."

Seeing the Fourth Raikage's disdainful look, Xiuze walked a few steps and then suddenly shook his head with a smile.

"What do you mean? Where's Tsunade?"

The Fourth Raikage's expression froze. He looked up at Tsunade as she walked away into the distance, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Lady Tsunade went to capture your subordinates, or rather, to take them back to heal their wounds."

Xiuze's smile widened, and he repeated what he had just said.

However, he was also secretly relieved that he hadn't encountered the Raikage from the future Fourth Shinobi World War!

The Raikage during the Fourth Shinobi World War was definitely at his peak.

That speed and power were perfectly combined, and it also possessed an extremely powerful Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

The latest novel is first published here!

That kind of madman is truly incomparable to the current Xiuze!

Hidezawa remembered it very clearly; this guy had actually used his physical strength and Lightning Release chakra mode to shatter Madara Uchiha's Susanoo.

Even if Madara Uchiha was in an Edo Tensei state at that time, and the level of Susanoo he used was not high.

But in the entire ninja world, there are very few people who can do this.

"My physical abilities are only at LV10, and my Wood Release is only at LV6. Nothing else has been improved, however..."

However, Xiuze's mood quickly improved. There was still so much time left; he still had time!

Besides, he brought the Fourth Raikage back with him on this mission, so his reward must be pretty good no matter how you look at it.

"Shameless!"

Although he had his own thoughts on it, Xiuze had already explained his plans, and there was no need to hide such things.

There's no point in hiding it, since it's an open strategy, and it would be better to tell you frankly.

The Fourth Raikage was truly at his wit's end. This brat was already shameless enough in battle, but he never expected their plan to be even more shameless!

"Shameless?"

Xiuze tilted his head, looked at the dilapidated town not far away, and sighed.

"Same to you. How shameless you were to attack the Hyuga clan of Konoha back then."

Moreover, your misfortune this time must have been caused by stealing some village's secret techniques again. Aren't you even more shameless than us?"

"snort!"

The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly. He couldn't deny these things; they were indeed the ones who did it!

"Actually, we understand why you're doing this. After all, everyone is doing it for their own village."

Xiuze glanced at Xiyan, who was walking towards him with a concerned expression. He smiled, reached out and took her hand, and then looked at Shisui before continuing to speak.

"I've always wondered why you guys are targeting Konoha so much, but then I think I understand now."

From a ninja's perspective, there are indeed many things that are incomprehensible and unclear, but from the village's perspective, everything seems to make perfect sense.

You want the Hidden Cloud Village to become better and stronger, so you stop at nothing to steal, rob, or kill.

Although the methods were extreme and they completely disregarded their reputation, they did have some effect.

The Fourth Raikage remained silent for a moment, because this was what they did. For the sake of the Hidden Cloud Village's development, they were capable of anything and dared to do anything!

"But..."

As they spoke, a gentle breeze blew, and Xiuze turned to look at the Fourth Raikage, pretending to be profound.

"The more you strive for perfection, the less clean you become, listen to me."

"The sounds carried on this wind are all of longing and unfulfilled desire."

"."

Xiuze's words silenced everyone present, as they all felt there was something else behind them.

Only the Fourth Raikage stared at Hidezawa with an idiotic expression, wondering what he meant by "wanting but not getting."

They stopped because they couldn't get what they wanted from Konoha. How utterly shameless!

However, Xiuze ignored him at the moment, his eyes were fixed on his own panel.

[Task completed]

Searching for Tsunade

[Task evaluation in progress]

-

"Sigh, I wonder how they are doing now?"

Inside Konoha Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi flipped through the report in his hand, muttering to himself.

Xiuze and Zhishui have been gone for some time now, and he doesn't know their current situation.

Although he trusted the two men relatively well, the situation in the village was giving him a real headache.

"Are these Uchiha people really insane?"

He looked at the Anbu's reports about the Uchiha clan and felt rather unhappy.

Meetings within the Uchiha clan became more and more frequent, and signs of stockpiling supplies began to emerge.

This sign is extremely dangerous. No one dares to say for sure what their purpose is, even though everyone has some premonitions.

Besides hoarding supplies, their calls for Zhishui to step forward and return to the family are growing louder.

Even though he had met with Fugaku Uchiha and said it was Shisui's own idea, and Shisui was not currently out on a mission in Konoha.

However, Fugaku Uchiha repeatedly expressed his desire to meet with Shisui, saying that he needed to ascertain more information.

"This Fugaku Uchiha seems to have changed somewhat."

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was holding the report, he was completely lost in thought. After all, if the Uchiha problem wasn't handled properly, it would inevitably lead to even bigger trouble sooner or later!

He personally prefers appeasement; at least he wouldn't give orders or do anything like that involving knives against fellow villagers.

Of course, when it really comes down to that, he will have to make a choice!

"Let's appease them first. Fugaku Uchiha's son seems alright."

Itachi Uchiha was a genius, a fact that Hiruzen Sarutobi would never refute. He awakened the Sharingan at a young age and had a good relationship with Shisui.

If that's the case, then why not let him also join the Anbu and become another bridge connecting the Uchiha clan?

"And he's the chieftain's son, so the effect should be even better."

He took a deep drag on his cigarette, filling the office with smoke. He could imagine how furious Danzo would be when he heard about this.

After all, when Shisui entered the Dark Division, that guy was extremely unhappy.

"Besides, this guy's been quite restless lately."

After Shusawa awakened Wood Release on his own, Danzo started again. Although his actions were very discreet, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew about them.

After all, the Dark Division was his territory; how could he not notice any disturbance?

He had given Danzo some pointers, but his old friend seemed to have completely ignored them.

He had seen plenty of these kinds of things, and besides, the allure of Wood Release was just too great.

That's a Wood Release technique that awakens on its own; it wasn't something obtained through experimentation. This kind of Wood Release naturally possesses greater power.

If they are properly trained and perform well, they might actually be able to recreate the glory of the First Hokage in the future!

"We'll have to be more careful from now on, Danzo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head. Fortunately, with Tsunade back, there would be someone to keep an eye on things for him, which put him at ease.

Lowering his head, Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself, "What a sin!" He spent half the day thinking about other things and slacking off, but in the end, he didn't deal with any of the documents in his hand.

He wasn't exactly a Hokage who liked to slack off, although he would indeed use the crystal ball to "inspect" around.

But as I get older, my fondness for fragrant and glamorous things is just for visual enjoyment.

Otherwise, his wife had been dead for several years, and he would have found a stepmother for his sons long ago.

"Look at the document, look at the document!"

Lowering his head, Hiruzen Sarutobi began to carefully peruse the dossier in his hands, but his brows furrowed after just one glance.

"The Fourth Raikage, a small town in the Land of Sugi."

The secret scroll of the Sugi Country was lost, and they dispatched the "Xuanyuan Clan" to retaliate. Moreover, according to reliable intelligence, the person who took action was basically the Fourth Raikage.

He knew about this, but now this town had caught his attention because Tsunade seemed to be in this town!

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't particularly familiar with the Fourth Raikage, but he was very familiar with the Raikage's father.

They were both third-generation Kage, and they had even fought before. His violent power and speed had left a deep impression on him.

Unfortunately, that person was too stubborn and was eventually worn down and killed by Iwagakure, but no matter what, he was still a heroic figure.

As for his son, it seems that, according to intelligence, he inherited the best qualities of three generations!

"Damn it, it really went to that place."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, with a pipe dangling from his lips, couldn't help but curse inwardly. He just hoped the two sides wouldn't clash.

The Fourth Raikage has done some things even more extreme than his father. Once he notices Shusawa and the others, it's really hard to say what he might do!

"Hokage-sama!"

Just as he was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door, which made his eyelids twitch.

"Come in."

He extinguished his cigarette and spoke, and soon a member of the secret service rushed in.

"Lord Hokage, I have important matters to report."

"explain."

"Lord Hokage, the Fourth Raikage has been captured."

"Um"

Upon hearing the name of the Fourth Raikage, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed slightly, and he didn't hear what followed.

But when he realized what was happening, he immediately stood up.

"Huh?! What did you say? He's been brought back?"

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt dizzy and disoriented; he truly felt as if the sky had fallen.

It might be a little later than midnight.
