Chapter 134 Hiruzen Sarutobi Gets a Lesson (Please Subscribe)

Before Genma had even arrived in the Land of Water, Shizune and the others had already returned to Konoha Village.

Soon, news of the annihilation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist spread throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Even the perennial genin Might Guy became the focus of the discussion.

While it might make people happy or even excited that Genma Mikami killed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, it wouldn't surprise anyone.

Because of his impressive record, Yufeng Genma was already regarded by most people in Konoha as the strongest person in the village, second only to the Third Hokage.

Therefore, it is only natural that Yufeng Genma killed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist; it would be shocking if he hadn't.

However, Might Guy, a perennial genin, actually killed a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

This is absolutely shocking.

That's a Jonin, and not just any Jonin!

If it weren't for the endorsement of the Wind-Riding Mystic Horse, no one would believe it at all.

Matt Daly has now naturally become the focus of discussion.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was shocked when he learned of the situation and immediately summoned Might Guy and the others to learn more about the battle.

"The Eight Gates Formation, I never expected you, Dai, to have achieved this level."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also greatly shocked.

Then came joy.

Konoha has gained another powerful figure, although Might Guy's use of the Seventh and Eighth Gates formations is subject to time limitations.

In terms of protracted warfare, they are far inferior to other Jonin.

But in this battle, Might Guy has already demonstrated his combat prowess. Within a limited time, he has enough strength to take down a Jonin.

Without any hesitation, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Dai, since you have such special talent, then I will promote you to Special Jonin."

"Now that it's wartime, there's no need for assessments."

Might Guy was stunned: "Jon... Jonin!?"

He was somewhat incredulous and a little unsure of himself, but encouraged by the previous experience with the Wind-Riding Mystic Horse, Might Guy didn't say anything like "Can I do it?" again.

He bowed deeply, his voice trembling with emotion: "Lord Hokage, I... I will do my best!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with satisfaction, then said, "Regarding the ninja sword, I will give the order to have it appraised and then purchased by the village."

"You did a great job this time. Go and rest now. Be ready to carry out missions at any time. The village is short of manpower recently."

Shizune and the others nodded in agreement.

After Might Guy and the others left, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and smoked a cigarette.

He had a bad feeling.

The Wind-Riding Mystic Horse is definitely not just going to the front lines.

"I hope nothing unexpected happens..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a bit of a headache.

Having a capable subordinate like Yufeng Xuanma is indeed a blessing.

But now, Yu Feng Xuan Ma is getting bolder and bolder.

It even gave him a feeling that he was about to lose control.

With a slight sigh, Hiruzen Sarutobi got up and left the office, then headed towards Tsunade's house.

Tobirama Senju, who was studying ninjutsu, was somewhat surprised to see Hiruzen Sarutobi, then frowned: "Has something happened to the village?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the pipe out of his mouth and said, "No, it's good news. Genma and his men have taken care of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

A smile appeared on Tobirama Senju's face: "Indeed, there are no elites in front of him."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Some people in the village have mastered the Eight Gates technique and are already able to open the seventh and eighth gates."

Tobirama Senju was quite surprised to hear this: "Someone has actually mastered this technique."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "He was a genin who opened the Seven Gates to save his son and killed one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in just a few moves."

Tobirama Senju suggested, "Monkey, raise him and his child well."

During the Warring States period, some people made great achievements with the Eight Gates Formation.

However, the training process for this forbidden taijutsu technique is extremely arduous. In an era where ninjutsu was the mainstream, very few people were able to achieve success in it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of Might Guy and nodded, saying, "Guy's talent is indeed stronger than his father's, and he will probably be even more outstanding in mastering the Eight Gates in the future."

Tobirama Senju glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was rambling on and on, and said, "Monkey, you must have something to say about coming here at this time, right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a hint of helplessness, "Genma has probably gone to Kirigakure."

"He's too reckless."

Tobirama Senju was neither shocked nor worried. Instead, he said, "Monkey, you have underestimated Genma."

"Although his strength has not yet reached the level of his elder brother, he is not yet at the point where he can be threatened by Kirigakure."

"He hasn't fully mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique yet, but he can already use it, so safety isn't an issue."

"I believe this is the best way to quickly resolve the war."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, however, had his own concerns: "But this will only intensify the hatred between us."

Tobirama Senju frowned: "Monkey, the hatred has been there for a long time."

"Moreover, wars between nations and between villages have never been driven by hatred."

"If you want to end the war as soon as possible, then you should use every means possible."

"Monkey, you've become conservative!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, then said, "Therefore, I have decided to make Tsunade the Fourth Hokage, and she will step down after the war ends."

Tobirama Senju remained noncommittal: "You decide for yourself which fourth generation to choose."

"I will protect the village when necessary, and so will my elder brother."

"We are currently improving the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Once it is successful, no sacrifices will be needed."

Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in delight, "Is it going to succeed?"

Tobirama Senju smiled and said, "It'll be soon. This idea was proposed by that kid Genma. He's got a lot of my style from when I was young!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "Genma is indeed an outstanding child."

"The future of the village is in their hands, and that's what worries me."

Tobirama Senju taught, "Monkeys, they are all still very young. You must allow them to be energetic and make mistakes. You only need to guide them at crucial moments."

"It's not too late for them to mature when they reach your age."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed helplessly, "As expected of the Second Hokage, he's as ruthless and decisive as ever!"

Tobirama Senju smiled and said, "Monkey, your heart has grown old."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply: "Yes~"

How could he not feel his body aging and his strength constantly diminishing?

Tobirama Senju emphasized again: "Monkey, you must trust the young people."

"Just like back then, I trusted you and entrusted the village to you with peace of mind."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was lost in memories, and only after a moment did he come to his senses: "Yes, I understand~"

Tobirama Senju nodded with satisfaction.

……

It was already late at night when Yufeng Xuanma arrived at Wuyin Village.

At this time, Kirigakure had not yet received news of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen's annihilation.

After all, no other Kirigakure ninja witnessed the annihilation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist on the battlefield. If Kirigakure wanted to get the news, it would have to be transmitted from Konoha, which was naturally much slower than the speed of the Wind-Riding Genma.

The Hidden Mist Village was shrouded in a light mist late at night, making it appear hazy and indistinct.

Especially under the sparse lighting, the blood mist took on an even more dreamlike quality.

Xuanma circled once in the air before slowly descending towards Wuyin Village.

As soon as he landed, Xuanma's senses spread out rapidly.

"The place where the tailed beasts or jinchūriki are imprisoned is obviously protected by a barrier."

Despite his sensory coverage, Xuanma found no trace of the Three-Tailed or Six-Tailed creatures.

This is also normal.

Based on the current timeline, he is unsure whether the Six-Tails already has a Jinchūriki.

There is definitely no Three-Tailed Beast.

"Let's have someone interrogate them first."

Genma leaped forward, weaving through the light mist, heading towards the heart of Kirigakure.

But he quickly stopped and smiled slightly: "Your reaction was quite fast."

As he descended, he sensed the barrier.

This is also the basic configuration of the five major ninja villages.

Especially now that we are in a period of war, the barrier is naturally in a state of constant maintenance.

咻咻 咻 ~

A barely audible whooshing sound came through the air.
