"That's easy to solve. Ask Shikamaru, and like Sasuke, have them meditate and calm their minds."
Hagoromo patted Naruto's head and said.
Naruto's actions were less impulsive and more like he was provoked into charging forward.
However, Hagoromo had already told her before that she could ask Shikamaru for advice if she encountered any problems.
But in the future, he will definitely have to be alone, and Shikamaru can't follow him forever.
"Huh?!" Upon hearing that he had the same idea as Sasuke, Naruto looked immediately reluctant.
"You don't want to?" Hagoromo asked with a smile.
Naruto:...
He couldn't help but shudder, and quickly chuckled, "No, no, I'm willing."
Next was Ino, but Ino was also limited by the weaknesses of her family's secret techniques.
Helpless, Hagoromo could only say that she would think of a solution later.
"Alright, that's enough of the conversation. Now, focus on your cultivation." Hagoromo clapped her hands to indicate this.
"Oh, by the way, there will be team competitions before the start of the semester. Whichever team loses will have to come to me to pick up their assignment."
After Hagoromo finished speaking, the faces of her disciples froze. Here it comes, the devilish test before the start of the school year.
Shikamaru recalled the topic from the last project, which he had been working on for almost half a semester.
I shook my head. No, I need to think about how the teacher will divide us into teams.
Hagoromo Yi chuckled softly, then turned to leave.
Hinata caught up from behind and said, "Sensei, wait."
"Hmm? What's wrong with Hinata?" Hagoromo asked curiously.
"Teacher, Neji wanted to ask when you have time," Hinata said after hesitating for a long time.
"Neji? Tell him tonight." Hagoromo stroked his chin and directly gave a time.
"Okay, thank you, Hagoromo- sensei!" Hinata quickly bowed and said.
"It's alright, go ahead, Hinata," Hagoromo waved her hand and said.
Phew--!
Just as Hagoromo was thinking about experimenting with her new technique, a cry came from the sky above.
"Um?"
Hagoromo looked up and saw a Ninja Hawk flying away at great speed.
"Jonin meeting? What's going on?"
As Hagoromo spoke, she immediately turned around.
After informing Naruto and the others, he quickly headed towards the Hokage Building.
Upon arriving outside the Jonin meeting room, Hagoromo ran into several acquaintances.
It was Aburame Muta and the others who had gone to the Land of Hot Water of Hot Water last time.
"Captain!" Aburame Muta and Yamanaka Kokone greeted him.
Hagoromo waved her hand and said, "Just call me Hagoromo. I haven't had a chance to congratulate you on your promotion to Special Jōnin yet."
That's right. After returning from their mission in Yugakure, Aburame Muta, Yamanaka Kokone, and others were recommended by their clans to become Special Jōnin.
After all, the reason for their previous failures was due to not meeting the mission requirements, but this time both of them have S-rank mission as a foundation.
Their respective families naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
"It was only thanks to the captain's leadership that we were able to complete that mission."
Because of the good relationship between the Yamanaka Clan and Hagoromo, Yamanaka Kokone spoke quite familiarly.
Aburame Muta, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement.
"Hey, Hagoromo, I didn't expect you to get here so quickly!"
Behind him, Shikaku's voice rang out.
Hagoromo turned his head and saw Shikaku leading Choza and Inoichi walking briskly towards him.
Standing beside him was Uchiha Fugaku, the current vice-representative of the Jonin Commander.
"Jonin Hagoromo, it's been a long time," Uchiha Fugaku greeted Hagoromo.
Hagoromo smiled and nodded in response, then addressed Shikaku, "Shikaku- senpai, Choza -senpai, Inoichi- senpai."
Aburame Muta and Yamanaka Kokone, who were standing next to Hagoromo, nodded to the clan leaders and then walked away.
Several Jonin walked past him from time to time, all of them giving Hagoromo a sizing look before walking away.
After all, they still remember the last test vividly.
Moreover, he was the disciple of the Third Hokage.
There have been some rumors circulating recently, but they are just hearsay.
"Yo, Hagoromo!"
Just as Hagoromo, Shikaku, Shikaku were thinking about walking into the conference hall, a warm voice came from behind them again.
Shikaku turned around and saw Might Guy and Kakashi, then said to Hagoromo:
"Hagoromo, let's go inside first."
Hagoromo nodded and stopped to wait for Might Guy and Kakashi.
"You two seniors still have such a good relationship."
Hagoromo smiled and greeted Might Guy and Kakashi.
Since Kakashi left the Anbu, Might Guy has often been seen dragging Kakashi around in Konoha.
Over time, rumors about Might Guy and Kakashi began to circulate even within Konoha.
All I can say is, they truly live up to their reputation as Konoha.
"Spare me," Kakashi said weakly, staring with a dead fish eye.
Clearly, he had heard the rumors about himself and Might Guy.
"Kakashi, cheer up!" Might Guy patted Kakashi on the shoulder nonchalantly.
"Let's go, seniors, the meeting is about to start."
Hagoromo then spoke up, saying that if they continued to dawdle like this, their master would probably be arriving soon.
Seeing this, Might Guy nodded, dragging Kakashi along while exchanging some Taijutsu experiences with Hagoromo.
Hagoromo followed Might Guy and Kakashi to their seats.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, accompanied by his personal bodyguard Shisui Uchiha, entered through a small door to the side.
I sat alone in the prepared seat.
"Meeting begins!"
Shisui Uchiha glanced around and, seeing that Jonin in the village had arrived, then shouted loudly.
Knock knock--
Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe, tapped it on the table, and then spoke:
"Just recently, Yugakure, which has formed an alliance with Konoha, sent us a message."
"The Raikage of Kumogakure has sent a representative to put pressure on the Land of Hot Water."
"They indicated that if the alliance with Konoha is not terminated, they will take action against Yugakure, including but not limited to economic sanctions or military action!"
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, the group of Jonin.
Shikaku then Hiruzen Sarutobi before speaking:
"Hiruzen Hokage, what specific actions has the Kumogakure taken? And what is the Yugakure's stance?"
Shikaku's expression was serious, after all, he was Konoha's top strategist.
His existence is to gain the greatest advantage for Konoha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe, slowly exhaled, and then said:
"The current Yugakure's Yukage has requested substantial security guarantees from Konoha and the Land of Fire."
"Meanwhile, the Land of Lightning borders before the meeting even started."
"Preparing to hold a large-scale military exercise in the strait between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Hot Water."
