Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

"The Sarutobi and Shimura tribes began to try to actively hunt down Hidan, but they were unsuccessful," White Zetsu stated matter-of-factly.

At about the same time, several members of the Sarutobi and Shimura clans appeared in Tsunade's office.

"Hokage-sama, Hidan is killing ninjas from his own village. Please help us."

After all, Hidan had stayed in Konoha for a period of time. After the clan members outside the village and the family ninjas inside the village exchanged information with each other, they soon learned his identity.

"Hidan?" Tsunade raised her eyebrows. "He has been to Konoha, but he is not from Konoha. He doesn't even have a Konoha household registration. I can't control him. He is just a tourist."

"I don't quite understand why you have a grudge against him? Did something happen when I was not aware of it?"

"..." The person who spoke just now froze in expression.

Leaving the Hokage building, these people were filled with indignation, "Even if there is no way to restrain it, don't you even want to take care of things like ninjas being killed?"

"When Hidan was in Konoha, people often ran into Might Guy and looked at him. What kind of tourist is he?"

"She doesn't even consider us as her own!"

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade had a cold expression.

She had already learned from Hiashi about the little tricks of the Sarutobi clan.

Her attitude was nonchalant.

If they wanted to leave, they should leave quickly, so as not to stay in Konoha and be indecisive. She would have to assign people to guard against them.

Moreover, she was not worried that this group of people would reveal any secrets. The Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan had long since moved away from the power center of Konoha.

Even Mitomon En and Utane Koharu are just holding nominal positions now.

After thinking for a long time, Tsunade sent someone to call the principal of Konoha Ninja School, the heads of each grade, and several outstanding teachers.

Among them was Iruka.

“I’m going to add an extra course in school.”

Tsunade crossed her arms, faced Iruka and the others, and told them her plan.

If what Kaguya said is true, then it is indeed necessary to raise the upper limit of ninja's strength.

Obviously, Kaguya is more optimistic about senjutsu, otherwise she wouldn't have been urging her to learn sage mode.

Of course, the path to practicing fairy arts is full of difficulties, and Tsunade has no intention of passing on the complete training method to a group of little kids who haven't even left school.

She just wanted to teach them the first level now.

The perception and resonance of natural energy.

Only those who can do this can get her attention.

After listening to Tsunade's talk about fairy techniques and natural energy, Iruka and the others were very confused.

Most of those who work in the school are in clerical jobs. They have a thorough understanding of the basic knowledge of ninjas, but their potential is not that outstanding.

Tsunade also understood their level very well. She sighed and said:

"How about this, I'll write all of this down, and you guys can try it out. If anyone can sense natural energy, he will be the person in charge of this course in the future."

"In the future, immortal arts and natural energy will be the top priority."

Moreover, before the demise of ninjas, a group of people who can use fairy techniques must be trained.

Tsunade added in her mind.

Hearing this, Iruka and the others were shocked.

"Hokage, are you planning to reform education?" Iruka couldn't help but ask.

After a moment's silence, Tsunade nodded and said, "You can understand it this way."

Iruka and the others left, but Tsunade felt heavy-hearted.

She didn't think that any of Iruka and the others had the talent to practice fairy arts because they were all too mediocre.

After thinking calmly for a moment, Tsunade used summoning techniques.

The Slug Sage responded to her call.

After a puff of smoke, a small slug appeared on the ground.

Tsunade carefully placed it on the desk, "Slug Sage, can you leave a few clones in Konoha to teach Sage Mode?"

"Tsunade, is it inconvenient for you to go to the Wet Bone Forest?" The little slug thought she didn't have any extra time, so he asked.

"Not me, but teaching others."

"Huh?" The little slug didn't understand.

"In fact, I think the method of practicing the Sage Mode can be spread, and you will become the Sage of the new era. The Six Paths Sage of the past will be you in the future."

"Magic arts are simply not suitable for widespread dissemination." The little slug had no desire at all and thought what she said was ridiculous.

Not everyone is suitable for practicing immortal arts. Accidents may happen if you are not careful. The mildest case is frenzy. In serious cases, you may be devoured by nature, completely petrified and lose your life.

The frog rocks in Myōbokuyama are the best proof. There are no such things in the Wet Bone Forest simply because few people come to the Wet Bone Forest.

If the news of low success rate and high mortality rate were to spread, who would regard her as a saint? It would be good enough if they didn't regard her as a demon who harms people.

Moreover, it is difficult to predict what attitude humans will have towards her.

After all, they are not the same race at all.

Some humans have no warmth towards their own kind, let alone towards outsiders.

What if humans want to destroy her after gaining more powerful powers?

Human nature is terrifying just by thinking about it.

In the past, she had the magic to protect herself, but if the cultivation method were to spread widely, she would lose even the last bit of advantage.

"That's why I need you," Tsunade said with respect and request.

"..." The little slug did not reply, but took the initiative to cancel the summoning technique, turned into smoke, and disappeared in front of Tsunade.

Tsunade sighed helplessly.

……

At night, everything was quiet. After Asma changed shifts with his companions, he returned to his residence.

A letter from Konoha was thrown into his room.

After opening the envelope and reading its contents, Asuma felt heavy-hearted.

He couldn't help but open the drawer and take out another letter.

It was a letter from Danzo to him.

"Is it possible that I can only do as he says and take a risky move?" he murmured to himself.

Sitting at the desk, Asma bent over and began to write a reply.

A new day, Yang Xi left Konoha. He was going to the Land of Hot Springs to fulfill what he had said to Xi Yan before and go there to supervise the work.

A member of the Hyuga clan hurried into the Hokage's office and reported to Tsunade, "Hokage, some members of the Sarutobi clan have secretly left Konoha. They don't have permission to leave the village, nor do they have a mission to leave the village..."

"Are you out?" Tsunade asked.

“Some were stopped, but some escaped and are being pursued by fellow patrol officers.”

"Some? How many people want to leave?"

"Not sure, maybe the same people have been trying..."

"If anyone wants to leave again, let them go. Don't waste manpower." Tsunade said lightly.

The Hyuga clan member who reported this was startled.

"But, those who left, don't let them come back."

Hearing this, the Hyuga clan member nodded, "I understand, Hokage-sama, do you mean to list those people as traitors?"

"..." Tsunade's expression paused, "Wait until most of their people have left, then announce them as traitorous ninjas."

The Hyuga clan member nodded solemnly, indicating that he had taken note of it, but he was thinking in his heart: It seems that the Hokage had already anticipated this...

Just as he was about to leave, Tsunade stopped him, "Wait, among those who left secretly, aren't there any members of the Shimura clan?"

"No." The Hyuuga ninja shook his head.

"They are so patient..." Tsunade murmured.

For several days in a row, the Sarutobi clan members went out secretly.

At Tsunade's signal, Konoha's guarding ninjas turned a blind eye, as if they did not notice their movements, and allowed the group to leave.

This made some Sarutobi people feel relieved. They originally thought that they would have to fight a fierce battle with the ninjas in the village before they could get out.

Most of the people who left were young and middle-aged people.

Those tribesmen who had no fighting ability and insignificant marginal people were basically left in the village.

They left in batches in tacit understanding, first dispersed on their journeys, and then gathered together somewhere.

Konohamaru held a middle-aged male member of the tribe with one hand, looked back at the increasingly distant Konoha, and asked reluctantly: "Uncle, why do we have to leave the village?"

"Tsunade forced us to leave," the middle-aged man replied.

Konohamaru was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on. He continued to ask, "Can we still come back?"

"Of course." Patting Konohamaru's little hand, the middle-aged man smiled and comforted.

When they come back again, it will be the time for them to take back the ownership of Konoha.

"That's great. Then I don't have to worry about being separated from my friends." Konohamaru's uncomfortable mood disappeared instantly, and he already regarded this trip away from the village as a trip.

After counting the number of people, the group set off again, heading for the capital of the Fire Nation.

On the way, Konohamaru was carried on the backs of other tribesmen. He felt a little sleepy and simply fell asleep.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a bed.

Sitting up, he looked around curiously for a moment. With a creak, the door was pushed open and a bearded young man walked in.

"Uncle Asuma." Konohamaru was a little confused. He didn't know where he was now.

"Konohamaru, you will live here from now on." Asuma touched his head, sighed and said.

"What about the other uncles?"

"They live nearby too. Don't worry, we're all still together." Asuma replied, "Anyway, you have to behave yourself from now on. Don't go out without my permission. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I see." Konohamaru nodded blankly.

After Asma left, he pushed open the curtains and found that it was completely dark.

Glancing out the window, he could see someone holding a lamp, standing in the middle of the yard.

Konohamaru couldn't see the expressions on those people's faces, he only saw that after Asuma went out, those people immediately surrounded him.

This house is the largest one among all the houses purchased by the Sarutobi clan.

More than a dozen Sarutobi people came here unconsciously and gathered together.

In order to hide their identities, all the clan members threw away their Konoha forehead protectors after leaving Konoha, and did not wear clothes with the clan emblem.

To ordinary people, they are no different from ordinary people.

When they saw Asma, they immediately went to greet him as if they had found their backbone.

"Master Asuma, when will we act?"

"Yes, in my opinion, the appearance of that Hidan is not a coincidence at all. If we keep waiting, maybe all of our people will be killed by him."

"The Third Hokage worked hard and devotedly for decades to make Konoha so prosperous. Why does Tsunade treat us like this?"

They were talking in a flurry of words.

No matter how they argued, Asuma just remained silent.

Not long ago, Danzo Shimura, who was hiding somewhere secretly, contacted him and proposed that he seize the sovereignty of the Land of Fire, and then take back Konoha to avenge the old man.

Asuma thought that the Sarutobi clan was being suppressed in Konoha and that they should find a way out, so he began to establish businesses in other places in the Land of Fire.
