Konoha.
"How could you fight against a guy like Ōnoki?"
As soon as Hokage Building returned, Minato asked casually.
The situation just now was really dangerous, not because we were worried that Genitsu couldn't defeat it, but because we were worried that it would trigger a new war.
Now Shinobi World, the most luxurious thing is trust. A slight conflict at the top can easily trigger a new war.
Konoha, who has experienced Third Shinobi World War, lost Sannin and Nine-Tails' Rampage, is not willing to start a war easily.
"Well, I didn't expect that Third Tsuchikage would incite a group of mercenaries to search for my whereabouts, and then go out personally... It seems that this guy is eager to kill me."
"Furthermore, Sir Yondaime, I entered Land of Earth this time mainly to deal with Yakushi Nonō. She has been a spy for Konoha for many years and has experienced life and death. I cannot let such a person die no matter what."
Genitsu answered.
"Yakushi Nonō, that's it. It seems that she was also a spy sent out by Master Danzo during his lifetime..." The fourth generation nodded with relief. At that time, he summoned a ANBU and ordered him to bring Yakushi Nonō over.
Such an excellent ninja, who used to be Root, worked hard and achieved great results. Now that he has come back, Minato, the current Hokage, naturally wants to meet him.
"Lord Hokage, it's already so late, do you still need to work?" Genitsu looked at the other party.
"There is no way. After all, the war is not over yet. There are so many things that need to be dealt with that I don't even have time to accompany Naruto." Minato scratched his head helplessly.
"That's it, it's really hard work." Genitsu said.
"By the way, the daimyo has given up searching for the whereabouts of Kazuma. Although Kazuma deserves to die, he is still a daimyo, so this matter is over." Minato said.
"The daimyo is really persistent. He pursued it for so long before giving up..."
After leaving Hokage Building.
Genitsu has no intention of meeting Yakushi Nonō. In name, this spy with a thousand faces will leave Root after completing this mission.
It is enough that he can help the opponent to prevent him from being killed by Stone Ninja.
Genitsu looked up at the deep night sky, which was full of leisure and vastness.
The bright moon is shining brightly on the earth.
Walking on the street, people look at me with respect from time to time.
"Hey, isn't that person..."
"Yes, it must be!"
"Konoha's strongest genius since the founding of the village, the hero of Third Shinobi World War, I heard that he even fought with Third Tsuchikage and eliminated a border war!"
"Si Guoyi! It's really amazing!"
Many people pointed at Genitsu with awe on their faces.
Genitsu smiled and nodded at passers-by, triggering bursts of exclamations.
After returning home.
"In the next period of time, I should be able to calm down for a while..."
Genitsu thought silently, and then began to test the homework of Jiaodou and Yamato.
Time flies.
During these days, under the governance of Fourth Hokage, the situation in all aspects of Konoha has tended to be stable and calm, and the heavy consumption of troops has also been steadily increasing.
As the most acute conflict in the village - Uchiha Clan and Konoha High Command, with the efforts of Minato, it has also eased a lot.
The main thing is that Uchiha Clan has strong combat power, including three Mangekyō Sharingan, Fugaku, Kazue and Shisui. This power alone makes the village dare not act rashly.
Without Danzo, relying only on Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, the two of them could only dare to chat behind closed doors. They would close their mouths tightly when they got out of the door, not even daring to fart.
Fortunately, there is an important bridge like Genitsu.
Not to mention Fugaku, Kazue and Shisui were very close to Genitsu, which made the village leaders reluctantly feel a little more at ease.
This day.
Genitsu calculated the time, went out, and planned to observe the results of his experiment, then turned and walked into Ichiraku Ramen's store.
"Boss, a bowl of noodles."
"Oh! I haven't been here for a while!" Teuchi greeted enthusiastically.
Genitsu nodded with a smile, found a seat, and took a casual glance.
A little yellow man with a beard was slurping ramen one by one.
Fourth Hokage's son, Naruto Uzumaki.
All around, Anbu Ninja was silently guarding the safety of Naruto. After seeing Genitsu, he did not stop him.
"Hey, kid, aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death after eating so much?" Genitsu took his face and said with a faint smile.
"Humph, uncle, you are so annoying."
Xiao Huangmao raised his head and glared at Genitsu.
"What a fierce guy..."
Genitsu chuckled lightly, not angry.
Asura Chakra is the power that makes people bright, cheerful and friendly. It is equivalent to the enhanced version of Minato Namikaze with full hidden charm.
But Naruto looks like this...
Has it taken effect?
The Indra Cells that was originally implanted in this kid's body, driven by his power day and night, and after two years of subtle stimulation, seems to have had some subtle effects on Naruto.
This is only the initial impact. When Naruto enters Ninja Academy at the age of six and learns to refine Chakra, the process of change will be accelerated.
Will Naruto Uzumaki... become Uzumaki Menma?
What an interesting thing.
Genitsu casually placed a few bills on the table and enjoyed the ramen as a guest.
Ichiraku Ramen, the taste is indeed very good, but for Genitsu, it is far from having strong appeal.
In the original work, Naruto likes to come to this place. A large part of the reason is because Teuchi's boss does not discriminate against Naruto, does not insult Naruto as a monster fox, and treats him equally.
It's really sad. If it weren't for Asura Chakra's forced correction, Naruto would have been covered by the negative emotions in his heart.
While Genitsu was wiping his mouth.
Nine-Tails, who was in Naruto's body, suddenly raised his head and looked outside the cage with fierce eyes.
"Damn it, this guy... is actually this guy!! He was the bastard who suppressed me that night and took away my Chakra!!"
Nine-Tails is furious.
Let out a terrible roar.
Faintly, an evil aura came out, which was keenly noticed by Genitsu next to him.
"Nine-Tails... I almost forgot, this stinky fox is very vindictive." Genitsu glanced at the little yellow hair who was slurping ramen.
In the sealed space.
For the first time, Nine-Tails pulled in Naruto's will.
"Well, where is this place?" Naruto looked at the dim sewer in front of him with a confused expression.
He lowered his head subconsciously... well, the bowl of noodles he was holding was gone.
"Who brought me here? I'm Hokage's son!" Naruto's face darkened and he shouted in a childish voice.
"Hmph, Hokage's son... Kid, come here, come closer, come closer..."
Phew!
Several huge tails suddenly stretched out, trying to catch Naruto, but were blocked by the iron cage.
"Okay, it's so big, what is this!" Naruto was almost scared to tears, and sat down on the ground, not daring to move.
He looked around, looking for his guards.
"Stop looking. Neither Fourth Hokage nor your scoundrels can come here. It's just you and me... I really want to eat you in one bite."
Nine-Tails's blood-red eyes exuded a strange red light in the darkness.
"What the hell are you!" Naruto wiped his tears, and an inexplicable courage appeared, confronting his instinct and making him try to calm down.
"Huh?"
Nine-Tails raised his eyebrows.
There seems to be something wrong with this kid... Nine-Tails stared at Naruto.
In its perception, it did perceive negative emotions, a large part of which came from the villagers' disgusting attitude towards Naruto.
It is normal for every human being to have a dark side.
But the dark side of Naruto is so distinct from the light side, which is interesting, as if they are two people...
However, Nine-Tails is not interested in thinking about why this is the case. It only knows that this little thing can become a target of exploitation.
Nine-Tails issued a soul question, "Little devil, do you long for power?"
"No, I'm craving ramen."
"... With power, there will be a lot of ramen to eat."
"I don't have power, but I still have a lot of ramen to eat. I am the son of Fourth Hokage. I am the most noble one. I can have whatever I want. Many guys scold me behind my back, but they dare not do anything to me openly!" Naruto had an expression of innocence mixed with a sense of distance on his face.
"..."
Nine-Tails was silent for a moment. "Huh, he's just a kid who doesn't understand anything. He keeps talking about that hateful guy..."
One man and one beast looked at each other.
After a long time, Nine-Tails's voice sounded in the cage, "You can call me Lord Nine-Tails. You are still too immature now and don't understand anything at all... Come back when you grow up."
Humph, the little kid over two years old has never tasted the taste of power.
"However, I can give you a little benefit..." Nine-Tails showed a ferocious smile.
A subtle Chakra rolled out and wrapped Naruto.
"Remember, be careful about the guy next to you. This vicious guy is unimaginably despicable..."
"Huh? Huh? Huh?"
When Naruto comes to his senses again.
He only felt that he was suddenly full of strength, and his physical strength and energy suddenly increased a lot.
"Okay, that's amazing, I can eat ramen faster!!" Naruto slurped up two sticks of ramen with a look of shock on his face.
My eating speed has doubled, which is really amazing!
"Huh?"
Genitsu put down his chopsticks, and just when he was about to stand up, he paused slightly and casually glanced at Naruto as if nothing had happened.
It was very subtle, but with his level, he could still detect the slightest clue.
Chakra of Nine-Tails...
It's interesting, that is to say, Naruto, who is not yet three years old, has already met Nine-Tails?
It seems that Nine-Tails likes Naruto like this very much. He probably smells a hint of the same kind.
And he also secretly gave Naruto a trivial amount of Nine-Tails Chakra to hook up with Naruto...
Tsk tsk tsk.
"Xiao Huangmao, I have a disciple named Sasuke Uchiha. He is about the same age as you. I think you two will get along very well."
When Genitsu left, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Naruto's yellow hair vigorously. It was crushed into a mess and he chuckled.
"You scratch my head? Let go! Let go!" Naruto picked up the chopsticks and was about to hit it.
But it came up empty.
Genitsu has left.
"Sasuke Uchiha? You can tell by the name that it's not a good thing." Naruto muttered, keeping the name in his heart.
The many Anbu Ninjas who were guarding Naruto's safety were shocked.
"Sasuke Uchiha, was Master Genitsu accepted as a disciple?"
"This, I have never heard of such a thing!"
"Kazue, Shisui, are already approaching him, now Uchiha just hand over the clan leader's son?"
"Report to Lord Hokage as soon as possible!"
Soon, Minato, who was talking to Nonō, received the information from ANBU.
"Well, it's a pity to accept Sasuke as the third disciple." Minato looked at the information in his hand.
A bit regretful.
It's a pity that he is still thinking about whether to let Genitsu teach Naruto in the future? Or in a few years, when Naruto graduates from the Ninja Academy, let Genitsu be the leading jounin.
After all, Genitsu's theoretical knowledge is the best in the village, and judging from the performance of Kabuto and Yamato, their teaching abilities are also extremely amazing.
If someone who is so proficient in Will of Fire were to teach Naruto, he would probably have a lot less worry.
Minato was thinking about finding a teacher for Naruto, but as he kept thinking about it, by some strange coincidence, he remembered "that one" that Kushina mentioned...
Who could it be?
Does it have anything to do with Naruto?
"However, it is not impossible to change things like this, teacher..." Minato tapped his fingers on the table, thinking silently.
At this time, Nonō said with a smile, "Lord Hokage, when it comes to teaching children, it depends on whether the children themselves are willing or not. If the children's confrontational thinking is too strong, the teaching process will become very troublesome."
"I understand, Nonō, you know more about children... Since you no longer want to perform tasks in the village, then just do what you like. This is also what Genitsu requires. You are now the director of the orphanage."
Minato formally signed an appointment letter and handed it over to Nonō in the form of a task release.
"Thank you Lord Hokage."
Nonō clutched the appointment letter tightly and left Hokage Building respectfully.
She planned to go find Genitsu and express her gratitude in person.
But Genitsu had no interest in seeing her at all.
Kabuto immediately stopped Nonō.
"Sister, Nissan said he is not at home, please come back." Kabuto pushed up his glasses and smiled.
"I see, it seems that my behavior is a bit annoying... I understand what he means. If there is something that is not too excessive that I need to do, I will try my best to complete it."
Nonō smiled, nodded to Kabuto, turned and left.
Kabuto waited for the other party to go away, then closed the door and trotted back to the house.
"Nissan, why don't you want to see her?" Kabuto asked.
Genitsu put down the secret scroll he took out from Root and said calmly, "Kabuto, that woman is very dangerous. You never know whether her words are true or false... She is Shinobi World's strongest spy."
Kill but cannot kill.
Fortunately, I stayed away.
However, this guy Nonō is not stupid. He knows that Genitsu took her back from Iwagakure not only to solve the problems left by Root, but also not just to save her, a hard-working and conscientious hero.
Snap!
Genitsu Place the arcane scroll on the table.
"Now is not the time, but in a few years it will be almost there."
Genitsu thought silently.
After a few more years, Naruto and Sasuke will grow up.
The usefulness of Nonō will come into play at that time.
"However, speaking of it, as Sasuke's teacher, I have to be closer to Sasuke, so Naruto can't be left behind... are you going to take action?"
Genitsu chuckled.
