Tsunade rolled her eyes at Shinki, annoyed. "I haven't finished yet! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"

"Then continue."

Shinki obediently shut up, giving his master ample face.

After a brief moment of thought, Tsunade continued, "In the past few days, another Kekkei Genkai Ninja has gone missing near the Kinrin Mountains in the Land of Earth."

"This time, the Kekkei Genkai is Dark Release Chakra others."

"So far, one person has gone missing from each of the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, the Land of Water, and the Land of Lightning."

"I suspect the next target will be our Land of Fire, so I sent the Anbu to investigate."

Shinki asked curiously, "And what was the result? Did you find out anything?"

Tsunade: "Yamato and the others haven't even seen the other side's Leader."

"Currently, all we know is that the enemy possesses a strange Secret Technique that allows them to fuse human and Beast Bodies, unleashing extraordinary combat power."

"This method is very strange. I'm afraid their next Kekkei Genkai will be you, who possesses Wood Release, so I'm reminding you to be careful..."

"Okay, I understand."

Shinki nodded, indicating that Tsunade relax.

Just then, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door!

"Knock knock--"

"Come in! What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?!" Tsunade asked, annoyed.

Shizune rushed out the door, panting, and said to Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, something terrible has happened! Quickly, look outside the village!"

Tsunade frowned and turned to look at the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind the Hokage's Office!

Shinki also looked out the window with curiosity.

At that moment, a huge humanoid phantom appeared in the sky above Konoha in the Land of Fire.

The person was wearing a white robe, and their face was wrapped in bandages; their exposed face looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old...

Tsunade dilated violently upon seeing the man's face!

(⊙o⊙)

"How... how is this possible? So many years have passed, how can he still look so young?!"

Shinki looked puzzled at the enormous figure high in the sky. "Master Tsunade, who is he?"

Tsunade's expression turned solemn as she replied, "Hiruko, a former Konoha Ninja, Jiraiya."

However, he escaped after being ordered to be killed by the Third Hokage for secretly developing forbidden Ninjutsu, and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day...

Just after Tsunade finished introducing the man's identity, the enormous figure of Hiruko in the sky spoke!

"Hiruko, Ninjas of the Five Great Nations. I am Hiruko, Ninja from Konoha."

"I have absorbed the Kekkei Genkai power of four Ninja Villages using the Chimera Technique."

"Upon completing the absorption of my fifth Kekkei Genkai, I will gain power surpassing that of everyone else."

"At that time, I will launch the Fourth Shinobi World War and then dominate everything..."

After saying these words, the Hiruko in the sky disappeared!

Tsunade immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Although I don't know why this guy still looks like he did when he was a child, it must be related to that Chimera Technique he mentioned! ヽ('⌒´メ)ノ"

"Now it seems that those Kekkei Genkai Ninjas who disappeared in other countries must have been captured by him!"

Shizune, standing nearby, said with a puzzled look, "Since he wants to collect Kekkei Genkai Ninjas, why doesn't he do it secretly? Why announce it to the world when he's almost finished? Doesn't that make him a target of everyone's ire...? @_@"

Shinki stroked his chin and analyzed, "His very first sentence was an introduction that he was Ninja from Konoha."

"It's probably to create resentment between Konoha and the other four major Ninja Villages, to make them wary and suspicious."

Tsunade nodded in agreement. "Shinki is right. He knows that Konoha poses the greatest threat to him, so he deliberately said that to put pressure on Konoha from other countries..."

Just after Tsunade finished speaking, the door to the Hokage's Office was pushed open, and Ninja from the Code Deciphering Division walked in with a letter.

"Lord Hokage, this is the latest news from the Land of Lightning."

The Ninja from the Code Deciphering Division said.

Tsunade took the letter, opened it, glanced at it, and then sneered, "As expected, the Land of Lightning is already questioning my true identity as Hiruko, and even asking if Konoha is trying to unilaterally tear up the Peace Treaty."

A moment later, a masked Anbu appeared in the Hokage's Office, knelt down, and said, "Lord Hokage, the Land of Fire Daimyo invites you to come over..."

Tsunade nodded. "Go and inform the Daimyo that I'll be there shortly."

After saying that, Tsunade and looked at Shinki standing next to her. "Shinki, you saw it too. Just because of Hiruko's words, Konoha instantly became the target of everyone's hatred."

Shinki thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, the Kinrin Mountains in the Land of Earth, right? I'll go take a look now."

Tsunade warned, "Be very careful. Hiruko hasn't been in the village for so many years; he must have developed a bunch of weird and evil technologies..."

Shinki nodded. "Okay, I'll be careful."

After saying that, Shinki used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave...

A while later.

Tsunade went to meet the Daimyo, and Kakashi pushed open the door to the Hokage's Office.

After Kakashi entered, he looked at Shizune with a puzzled expression. "Where is the Lord Hokage? I have something very important to tell her."

Shizune replied, "I've already been summoned to a meeting by the Daimyo."

"Kakashi- san, please tell me beforehand. I will relay it to Lady Tsunade as soon as she returns."

"I'd better talk to the Hokage about that in person."

Kakashi politely declined and left.

Walking down the village streets, Kakashi kept his head down the whole time.

He muttered to himself.

"Hiruko, you planned all of this a long time ago."

"That time I met him, he actually planted Cursed Seal on me..."

"He must have coveted the Obito that Sharingan gave me a long time ago..."

"The next one to have their Kekkei Genkai extracted by his Chimera Technique will probably be me..."

"Lady Tsunade, come back quickly! My plan can't be carried out without you."

On the other side.

The Shinki returned to Naruto's side.

Naruto scratched his head and asked curiously, "Why did it take you so long?"

He knew Shinki's speed; the Flying Thunder God could be used to travel back and forth in less than three seconds!

"We ran into some trouble in Konoha; we have a new mission now."

"Let's go check out the Kinrin Mountains in the Land of Earth!"

Naruto asked, "What are we going there for? Rumors have been circulating in the village for a while now that Ninjas with Kekkei Genkai are frequently disappearing there..."

Shinki used Steel Super Beast Imitating Drawing, then sat in the pilot's seat first, waving to Naruto and saying, "There's no time to explain, we'll talk on the way."

Later, Shinki told Naruto about a series of events Hiruko.

Naruto exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, the Chimera Technique? It doesn't sound that powerful."

Shinki: "Yes, never underestimate your enemy."

Naruto immediately became interested. "How about you don't have to do anything this mission, Shinki? Let me handle it."

"I'm really strong now!! ୧⍢⃝୨"
