The following day, Kyosuke personally led a team to set off to discuss matters related to cooperation with the Daimyō.
Since he brought up the matter, I should naturally go there in person to show respect.
As for the "Twelve Guardian Ninja," the first batch of members will be composed of Uchiha.
On the surface, they were protecting the Daimyō's safety, but in reality, they were trying to prevent the Senju from secretly contacting the Daimyo's Mansion's government.
At this moment, Tobirama Senju is unaware of the importance of the Daimyō. As the village gradually gets back on track, they will understand that the economy is everything.
At that time, funding from the Daimyo's Mansion's residence would be extremely important, which is why the successor to the Hokage in later generations was symbolically submitted to the Daimyō of the Land of Fire for review.
It's not that Konoha is too weak, but rather that they are beholden to those who offer them favors and have no choice but to do so.
To prevent the Senju from causing trouble in the shadows, Kyosuke plans to completely control the Daimyō.
Guards are only one aspect; officials at all levels in the Daimyo's Mansion must also have their own people placed in their positions. This task can be entrusted to the Secret Shinobi Number One in charge of intelligence.
The most important thing right now is to get money.
A huge sum of money to realize Kyosuke's ideals and ambitions.
If we want to unify the Shinobi World in the future, killing alone is definitely not enough; governing the people's livelihood is of paramount importance.
Now that he's come to this world, Kyosuke has no intention of letting it be destroyed.
The Ōtsutsuki are indeed the ultimate enemy, but one must take things one step at a time. To defeat an insurmountable enemy, the Shinobi World must be united in its efforts.
You can't be engrossed in fighting others at the front while your own people at home are still fighting amongst themselves.
"Let's not think about that now." Kyosuke turned to look at the carriage, where his mischievous son was jumping around.
He made a point of bringing his son along on this trip.
Konoha is about to establish a ninja academy, and as the proposer, he will definitely take the lead and have his own children join it.
To prevent the little guy from being bullied, Kyosuke decides to start cultivating Yuto's abilities in all aspects of ninja skills from now on.
If he doesn't work hard, he'll really be wasting his amazing talent.
"Stop jumping, let's start training."
"Oh~"
Upon hearing his father's words, Yuto immediately went to the Open Ground, took out a small Short Sword, and began practicing Taijutsu.
At the Genin level, Taijutsu is always of paramount importance. Even some genius ninjas with special bloodlines may not be able to defeat those Taijutsu -oriented players who have trained diligently in the early stages.
Kakashi is the best proof of this; with just a White Fang Short Sword, he fought his way Jonin rank.
And then... he was Jonin for over ten years.
Once an incredibly brilliant genius, he gradually became mediocre. Even though his reputation remains strong, he no longer possesses the overwhelming momentum that once dominated other geniuses.
While the Sharingan certainly played a part, the lack of guidance from a master was also a crucial factor.
If White Fang were still alive, Kakashi's progress would definitely have been much faster.
Kyosuke's plan was for Yuto to focus on training in the Uchiha-style Swordsmanship during his time at the Ninja Academy.
Once his Chakra reserves increase and his Sharingan gradually awakens, he will shift his focus to Ninjutsu.
Kyosuke had his son measured, and the boy had perfectly inherited his talent, possessing all seven Chakra types by nature and the potential to become a top-tier ninja.
Although his average level is only second or third, he has no problem using any type of Ninjutsu.
It can be said that this saved a lot of time that would otherwise be spent developing Chakra attributes.
After some time of practice, Yuto will be able to begin incorporating nature transformation into his Swordsmanship.
Their fighting strength will definitely increase dramatically then. Kyosuke refuses to believe that his son could lose to Hashirama's child.
The two got married around the same time, and their children were born in the same year, so they will definitely be classmates when they go to school.
Kyosuke himself could suppress Hashirama, so his child naturally couldn't be any less capable.
If he can't beat them... he wouldn't mind letting Yuto experience what a hellish childhood is like.
"Raise your arm a little higher."
"Swing the knife a little harder. Didn't your mom cook for you before she left?"
"Five minutes have passed. Get up and continue when you've rested enough."
"This won't do! How will you protect your sister in the future?!"
On the way to the Daimyo's Mansion, the air was filled with the painful wails of Little Yuto.
At the border of the Land of Fire, a small group of people were secretly infiltrating.
"Phew~ It's finally all right." The man in the lead had a striking spiky ponytail.
He was the person in charge of this operation, Nara Jun.
The once- Three Secret Technique Families suffered a crushing defeat in the battle against the Uchiha, leaving them no choice but to flee to distant lands.
He has accepted Tobirama Senju's invitation to return to the Land of Fire and prepare to join Konoha in its development.
Gazing at the silent Forest ahead, Nara Jun's eyes were unusually solemn, and he was constantly praying in his heart.
The road back was far from smooth, something the Clan Leader had anticipated.
By suddenly summoning them to join Konoha, besides strengthening their own power, the Senju probably also harbored intentions to target the Uchiha.
Knowing they were being used as pawns, Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka had no choice but to compromise upon receiving the invitation.
Simply because their lives outside were just as difficult.
Instead of fighting for survival all day, why not join Konoha? With the Nara Clan around, they're not afraid of anyone when it comes to using their brains.
I'm just afraid that this journey home won't be as smooth as I've hoped.
Soon, most of the day had passed, and thanks to the ninjas' excellent speed, the group had gradually approached the heart of the Land of Fire.
Just as Nara Jun breathed a sigh of relief, a group of ninja dressed Rogue Shinobi suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
"Leave your money and women, and I'll spare your lives today."
Robbery? Nara Jun frowned, knowing that this matter was definitely not that simple.
They were dressed in the Family attire, making it clear at a glance that they belonged to a ninja Family.
Even the Rogue Shinobi wouldn't normally target this kind of prey.
In short, it's a losing proposition.
"Don't be impulsive, let's talk this out." Nara Jun feigned surrender, but in reality, he had already secretly sent the message of battle to his clansmen.
Without a sound, several dark figures swiftly moved towards the Rogue Shinobi, and before they could react, they had taken control of all the enemies.
Shadow Stitch - Hanging Kill!
In an instant, the enemy team of more than twenty people was killed on the spot by the Shadow Stitching Technique.
"Am I overthinking it?" Nara Jun shook his head in confusion, feeling that something was amiss.
Just as they were about to turn around, a large-scale collapse suddenly occurred beneath their feet.
Inside the crater, which was several meters deep, burning Explosive Tag were posted everywhere.
"We've fallen for their trap!"
Boom boom boom!
On his deathbed, a question kept echoing in Nara Jun's mind.
I was being very careful the whole way, and I even checked the surroundings before stopping.
We didn't find anything unusual underground.
How did such a large pit suddenly appear?
