Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

During a critical period of the war, Yugen introduced a new, practical ninja tool. If it were deployed on a large scale, it could even influence the course of the war to some extent, so his contribution was substantial.

Therefore, the rewards given by the Third Hokage should not be the kind that are merely given to appease people; they must be substantial and reflect the importance placed on talented individuals.

So how should the Hokage demonstrate his sincerity? This is a difficult decision. Although the Hokage controls everything in Konoha, he doesn't actually have much to offer immediately.

He needs to think about it carefully.

The Third Hokage asked Hagen and his companion to come back in three days, as he needed to systematically test the practicality of the scientific ninja tools over the next few days.

Yu Xuan handed over the samples he brought to the Hokage, along with the research records he gave out. After that, the Hokage could actually start production in Konoha based on these... If high-end business tactics were used, Yu Xuan, the R&D personnel, could have been ousted.

However, there's really no need to worry about this. Regardless of whether it's hypocrisy or not, most of the time, especially when it doesn't involve the core interests of Konoha or the Hokage system, the Hokage's character is trustworthy.

What's the most valuable thing in war? Talent, of course. Thinking of turning against your own people first is just too absurd; in many ways, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura are fundamentally different.

Most of the time, Hiruzen Sarutobi can be regarded as a fair and just old village chief.

After Yugen left, the Third Hokage waved his hand, and several Anbu ninjas immediately appeared in front of him.

Two things.

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

"First, you all just saw how these ninja tools work. Take them to a secluded place and test them out to see if they malfunction."

"Lord Hokage, we understand, and we will adhere to the principle of secrecy from now on."

"Okay, the second thing... get the window fixed as soon as possible."

"..."

The Dark Army captain assigned tasks, while he himself began cleaning up the windows damaged by the Hokage.

He still had some things he wanted to say to the Hokage.

"Lord Hokage, are you sure it's okay? It feels so unreal that two nameless ninjas suddenly produced such high-level ninja tools."

Common sense as a ninja constrained the imagination of this ANBU captain.

"After all, geniuses exist in the world, and even if there are no geniuses, there is still chance. This kind of ninja tool seems incredible, but after seeing the complete research data, you will understand that it is indeed a weapon that can be manufactured," the Third Hokage said.

Everything that needed to be investigated has been investigated, and there's nothing wrong with these two ninjas. Since that's the case, the Hokage has chosen to trust them... As the person in charge of the overall situation, one should understand to some extent the principle of sometimes being deliberately obtuse.

After reviewing the research data, the Third Hokage didn't necessarily think, "I could do it too," but his perception shifted from viewing scientific ninja tools as unfounded, abstract technologies to recognizing them as grounded inventions.

Because he saw a lot of traces of "technological integration" in the data, which means that scientific ninja tools not only inherit the original technology, but also have some innovations... They have a foundation and development, so they are good technologies native to Konoha.

"Danzo did a good job. He always had a keen eye for talent." The Third Hokage praised Danzo again, although it sounded a bit awkward.

Danzo was indeed quite adept at recruiting talent, but how to utilize that talent was another matter entirely.

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

The captain of the Anbu had originally planned to conduct an in-depth investigation into Yuu and the other two, but judging from the Hokage's attitude, this step was no longer necessary.

Several hours later, the ninjas who had gone to try out the scientific ninja tools returned to the Hokage's office.

"How do you guys feel using these ninja tools?"

"Very good, Hokage-sama."

"It feels somewhat unbelievable."

"It's so convenient. If I suddenly release a ninjutsu without hand seals during combat, the enemy might not even have time to react."

"Yes, I'm a little worried that I'll forget how to perform hand seals later..."

New things bring new experiences, and the Anbu ninjas who tried out the scientific ninja tools almost all gave them praise.

This thing is certainly not perfect; it's just that positive feedback overwhelmed negative feedback in the short term.

The Third Hokage nodded, his gaze still fixed on the research materials... His learning ability was beyond doubt; after a period of research, he would be able to create scientific ninja tools by hand.

…………

"Yu Xian, where are you going next? Do you have somewhere to stay?"

After leaving the Hokage's office building, Kohinata Shingen asked Hagen a question.

Yu Xian did not have a place to live in Konoha. After leaving the orphanage, his predecessor had been renting a place somewhere. When he went to the battlefield, he probably realized that he would not be able to come back, so he basically erased all traces of himself left in Konoha.

"You can just find anywhere to rest for a short while."

The ninjas of Konoha are very close to the war, but Konoha Village itself seems far away from it. Although the atmosphere in the village is somewhat low due to the war, order and peace have been maintained.

At least in Konoha, you can sleep soundly.

So Yu Xian planned to find a hotel or similar place to rest for a couple of days.

"Alright, I'll head back to my clan's territory now."

"Okay, see you in three days."

Even the smallest ninja clan is still a ninja clan. Kohinata and Hagen parted ways. Hagen didn't rush to find a place to stay; instead, he wandered around Konoha.

At this time, the general architectural layout of Konoha was not much different from that of Konoha during the Fourth Hokage's time, but the later Konoha Village was obviously larger in scale, and the various details within the village were also very different.

In other words, despite experiencing two wars, Konoha Village has actually become more and more prosperous.

Considering her upcoming plans, Yu Xian felt that buying a place to live in the village wouldn't be a big problem.

Having spent a long time in the dungeon, Yugen became quite familiar with many places in Konoha.

Yu Xian wandered aimlessly, but as he walked, he suddenly felt someone watching him from the entrance of a small alley not far away.

Noticing the strange gaze, Yu Xian turned around and saw a thin old man with a full head of white hair.

"Um……"

Upon seeing the other person's appearance, certain memories immediately surged into his mind... memories that belonged to this body's original form.

This startled Yu Xian for a moment, and then he stepped towards the other person.

"Lord Yakushiji, it's been a long time."

Upon arriving at the person's side, Yu Xian greeted them.

Although he had no roots in Konoha, the original owner of this body must have had a background.

"Yu Xian, I think I misjudged you..."

"That's what the old man said."
