Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 131 Destiny, Sea Escape! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

The Land of Rain, the Village of Rain Ninja.

Despite the rain, the area in front of the newly opened ninja academy was bustling with activity.

Wearing raincoats, Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato looked at their peers who had been sent by their parents and couldn't help but show a hint of envy.

Today is the day the Ninja Academy opens for enrollment.

Children lined up for testing; those who were admitted to school were overjoyed, while those who failed were dejected.

For a moment, Yahiko and the other two became a little nervous.

As the leader, Yahiko immediately clenched his fist to encourage everyone: "Don't worry, we will definitely pass the test."

Konan and Nagato nodded in unison.

They arrived quickly.

The examination method is also very simple. The examiner injects chakra into the child's body and then guides it. If the chakra can be guided out, it means that the chakra can be refined. If not, then it will be basically impossible to refine chakra by relying on one's own practice in the future.

The ninja academy in Amegakure only has this most basic requirement, unlike Konoha, where the threshold is relatively higher.

There is also an examination of mental capacity.

Might Guy almost couldn't get into the Ninja Academy, but his unparalleled perseverance impressed Hiruzen Sarutobi, who made an exception and admitted him.

The Konoha Ninja Academy can be described as having a strict admission policy but lenient graduation policy.

Graduation requirements are not high: mastering the three body techniques and passing a written exam.

Soon it was Yahiko's turn, and without any surprises, they easily extracted chakra under the guidance of a Rain Ninja.

From that day on, Nagato and his two friends officially began their student life.

Their teacher is the wooden clone of Xingxia Xiu.

……

"Shu, were you so bored on the front lines that you came here to be a teacher at the ninja academy?"

In the office, upon seeing Hoshino Shu, Jiraiya couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Why bother being a teacher? It would be so much better to help him.

As expected, becoming Hokage is no easy job.

It's still more fun to carry out missions.

Jiraiya was filled with resentment.

The conflict with the Iwa ninja had gradually cooled down over the past month, which is why he returned from the front lines to deal with the backlog of documents.

Hoshino glanced at the mountain of documents and said gloatingly, "How about we switch places? You go and stare at that old fox, Onoki?"

Jiraiya nearly rolled his eyes when he heard that.

Is he going to his death?

Moreover, it's not just Onoki who's currently confronting Hoshinobi Hide; there are also three Iwa ninja guards.

Recently, the number of times that Hideaki Hoshino and Onoki have faced off has been decreasing, and it's been purely a matter of mutual restraint.

Previously, they fought every one or two days. Onoki, with three guards providing cover, fought to a draw.

Of course, the Star Show never used its trump card.

However, for him, the current situation is the best.

Of course, although the Ninja Academy copied Konoha's system, even the teaching materials were brought from Konoha.

However, Hoshino no Shu did not intend to train people in the same way as Konoha.

For a genius, Konoha's six-year school system is too relaxed.

Geniuses should be taught differently.

Moreover, the location of Amegakure does not allow for such a slow teaching method.

Therefore, from the very beginning of the Ninja Academy's establishment, the pace has been tight and fast.

Slacking off in class?

does not exist!

Hide Hoshita came to be a teacher personally, not just for Yahiko and the other two.

This is also to set an example.

However, seeing Jiraiya's distress, Hoshino Hide had an idea and said with a smile, "Jiraiya, why don't you hire a few more assistants to help with the documents?"

"If you have time, why don't we go to the ninja academy together to give a lecture?"

"Children are the future."

"I've heard you've been searching for a chosen one who can bring peace. Perhaps you'll find one?"

"The chaos of war is precisely where extraordinary life can emerge!"

Jiraiya was stunned when he heard this, and by the time he came to his senses, Hoshino-shita Hide had already disappeared.

"Perhaps we really should go and take a look..."

Jiraiya muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, as Hoshino Hide walked toward the classroom, he wondered what changes might occur if Jiraiya also came to the Ninja Academy.

After all, they are people with the power of destiny.

Although I scoff at Gamamaru's so-called destiny, there are some things that deserve our attention.

One may not believe in fate, and may want to overcome fate, but one can still exploit the fate of others.

……

The battlefield of the Cloud Ninja.

Danzo, his expression grave, shouted, "Hiruzen, we must take revenge!"

"Let A go to Kumogakure. Even if it doesn't cause any real damage, it will show the Raikage our tough attitude and determination."

"Furthermore, this could force the Raikage to leave the front lines."

Akimichi Torifu immediately nodded in agreement: "Hiruzen, Danzo is right."

"The Raikage appeared here to lure Hiruzen away from the village, which gave the Cloud Ninja an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

"If Danzo hadn't been prepared, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would probably have been taken away by the Cloud Ninja."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "Indeed, the Raikage should be warned, but Kabuto is currently in the Land of Rain, confronting the Tsuchikage. Transferring him away might..."

Danzo quickly replied, "All we need to do is have A use his clone."

The latest novel is first published here!

"He has the Four-Tails Jinchuriki inside him, and the chakra of his clones is enough to pose a threat to the Cloud Village, forcing the Raikage to retreat back to the Cloud Village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, but then instructed, "Send A over there, but don't bother taking down the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails."

"It's not advisable to provoke the Cloud Ninja too much right now."

Danzo instinctively wanted to retort, but he held back.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words do make some sense.

If we were to steal a tailed beast from the Cloud Ninja, they would likely go berserk and launch a full-scale attack on Konoha, which would be very detrimental to Konoha.

The Third Raikage was far less composed than the Third Tsuchikage.

Of course, most importantly, Hoshino Shu was held back by Onoki.

Otherwise, Danzo really wanted to steal the Two-Tails or the Eight-Tails back, so that Root would have another Jinchūriki.

It would be a waste not to make good use of such a powerful force as Xingxia Xiu.

Danzo, who had endured it, was somewhat unwilling to accept it.

But it is precisely because "one possesses a sharp weapon that the desire to kill arises spontaneously"!

Hideaki Hoshino stole the Four-Tails from Iwagakure, which gave Danzo a small taste of success.

This time, the Cloud Ninja's attack on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki brought him even greater benefits.

……

Inside a wooden house on the border of the Land of Rain.

Xingxia Xiu opened her eyes, and a new state of mind had finally been refreshed.

It is early morning of July 21st.

Current status: Water Release Master

Note: Master-level Water Escape, you deserve it. In this state, you can also use Sea Escape.

Refresh countdown: 29 days 23:59:49

Good guy!

What a pleasant surprise!

But after the initial surprise, Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but frown.

A master of Water Release is certainly good, and extremely good at it.

However, it is difficult to solidify this state.

If he were a Water Release expert, Hoshino Shu would be confident that he could realize his expert-level talent within a month, just like when he became a swordsmanship expert.

"We have no choice but to give it our all..."

It may be difficult, but we should still give it a try.

Now we have a month, which is much more than a week used to be.

Moreover, with the support of a master-level talent, even if this state cannot be permanently solidified in the end, mastering Water Release techniques will definitely not be a problem after a month.

Of course, Xingxia Xiu prefers Hai Dun!

Ok?

Suddenly, Xingxia Xiu looked outside.

"team leader!"

Aburame Ryoma's voice came through.

Is something important happening so late at night?

Xingxia Xiu raised an eyebrow: "Go in!"

Ryoma Aburame pushed open the door and entered: "Captain, Lord Danzo has ordered you to send a clone to Kumogakure to target either the Eight-Tails or the Two-Tails, to retaliate against the Kumogakure ninja, and at the same time force the Third Raikage to return to Kumogakure."

Xingxia Xiu nodded in agreement.

Ryoma Aburame glanced at Hoshino Shuu and continued, "The Third Hokage ordered that the captain must not capture the Eight-Tails or the Two-Tails."

Xingxia Xiu was not surprised to hear this.

He was wary of Madara Uchiha, while Hiruzen Sarutobi, considering the bigger picture, didn't want to provoke the Cloud Ninja too much, lest they fight Konoha to the death.

Can understand.

"I see."

Hoshino nodded and immediately extracted the Four-Tails' chakra, then created a wood clone.

This wood clone contains half of his own chakra, plus half of the Four-Tails' chakra, which is enough for this operation.

However, Xingxia Xiu hesitated.

Should we plant trees in Kumogakure this time, or throw windmills into Kumogakure?
