Hokage's Office.
Third Hokage is reading some internal reports from Crimson Crown. The more he reads, the more troublesome they become.
Since the establishment of Crimson Crown, Third Hokage has psychologically adopted a restrictive strategy towards the organization led by Kushina, but in reality, he actually feels that he has indulged in the behavior of Kushina.
Third Hokage feels that Konoha's development has gradually gone off track. Many times he feels a little powerless, but there is nothing he can do about it. After all, Lord Hokage is not forty years old now, but will soon be sixty years old.
Age...
What's interesting is that so far, all the successors that Third Hokage has worked hard to cultivate have become crooked. Those who have not worked hard to train them have also grown crooked. It's not that there are no successors who have not grown crooked, but he died.
So what should Konoha do in the future?
Not only Hokage himself finds it difficult to handle, but others also find it difficult to handle Hokage. The conservative forces of Konoha feel that Third Hokage is not conservative enough, and the progress of Konoha In terms of strength, I feel that Third Hokage is not progressive enough and is average. In fact, as a ruler, this is not a bad thing, but the bad thing is that as he grows older, Third Hokage is gradually weakening, and "Shinobi Hero" is no longer strong enough.
Of course, in terms of combat effectiveness alone, Third Hokage is still very fightable at this time. In the original story trajectory, even in the Konoha collapse plan, Third Hokage is not impossible to fight, but the problem is that many people already think that Hokage is really His strength is no longer... This is a problem caused by his great change in mental outlook. After Orochimaru rebelled against Konoha, Third Hokage quickly aged, which indirectly caused some people to begin to doubt his ability and control over Konoha..
And this suspicion is by no means groundless. Even if Yuhara were to say it, Third Hokage now looks like an old man waiting to die.
Taking Uchiha Clan as an example, their focus at this time is on Jiraiya rather than Third Hokage. This is enough to show that Hokage no longer has the same prestige as before, so they are ready to make a move.
In fact, even if we exclude people like Yuhara who are quite good at fighting but have little reputation, there is also Kushina Uzumaki among Konoha. However, when calculating combat effectiveness, Kushina is often ignored. This is because Kushina Uzumaki has been a housewife for a period of time and is a "retired personnel". Based on the protection of Jinchuriki, She didn't show much during the battle, and most people didn't necessarily think she was that powerful.
In terms of combat experience and experience, Kushina is even less worth paying attention to.
In fact, Yuhara also feels that compared to combatants, Kushina is positioned more like a functional auxiliary personnel. Unless it is a matter of life and death, there is no need for Kushina to go to the frontline battlefield. Letting her stay behind to work on the sealing barrier is the correct way to employ people.
Kushina Uzumaki's on-paper combat effectiveness is certainly very strong. With such a strong combat effectiveness, it is of course suitable for him to stay with Konoha as a "ballast stone"... With Three Legendary Sannin leaving and Third Hokage standing still, Yuhara actually supports Kushina to become the helmsman of the next generation Konoha.
As for contacting Orochimaru to come up with the Konoha collapse plan, that is Yuhara's temporary irrationality. Orochimaru is really coming to Konoha, and it is really not certain who will be killed.
Third Hokage finished reading the troublesome information and began to handle some daily tasks with ease. After that, he got off work. When Hokage left the office building, the ninjas in the daily department had already got off work...Hokage is a real hard worker.
After night fell, Konoha also gradually became quiet.
The Hokage office building is the core area of Konoha. Even if Hokage goes home after get off work, there are still a large number of ANBU ninjas guarding it. In this peaceful era, under normal circumstances no one would cause trouble in such a heavily guarded area.
But in fact, there are two groups of people who have been secretly watching this area, but their target is not Hokage, but Small Earth Building not far across the street from the Hokage office building.
The correct steps are as follows. Whenever Kushina Uzumaki comes off work, these people start to come here to spy on her, trying to pry into the secrets of this small organization... Kushina Uzumaki still can't be messed with, after all, she is a super-sensory ninja of the Uzumaki Clan, so she can't get in touch with her and slap her in the face.
Because Crimson Crown's three major systems have already started operating, there is no possibility of keeping it secret. The group of people watching here are naturally Root Organization of Danzo... It is only natural that Danzo would snoop here.
In fact, both Kushina Uzumaki and Tigo have discovered spies outside, but Kushina is too lazy to deal with such nonsense. After all, they are just looking around outside and have not tried to invade the building. Who cares what they are doing.
Although there are no ANBU ninjas guarding Small Earth Building at night, it is protected by numerous barriers. As long as someone tries to invade and trigger the barrier, the Tigo puppet in the building will "wake up". Tigo holding Banjō Senshi can easily drive away the intruders.
So far, no one has tried to hack into Small Earth Building, but if this situation continues, sooner or later someone will try.
At this time, Yuhara was not at Konoha. He took Kōtanuki to Nameless Mountain Secret Realm. He just arrived here when night fell.
After arriving at the Secret Realm, several Summoning Beast quickly came to Yuhara... Although they initially refused to become Summoning Beast, because you can't let it be just like it, however, when they started to get Chakra Crystal from Yuhara, their minds changed... It smells so good.
But I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yuhara always feels that Chakra on Ninja Cat, who just settled here not long ago, also has a familiar feeling... This may be because the Summoning Beast here are all familiar with each other, and everyone has a good relationship.
After saying hello to Summoning Beast here, Yuhara took Kōtanuki up the long stairs. After passing through torii gates one after another, he entered the cave that was opened before.
After entering the cave, Yuhara placed Kōtanuki on the base. Of course there was no Three-Tails under the base at this time, but there was an underground Chakra Threads cable connected all the way from Konoha.
"Tigo, how do you feel?"
After completing the reception technique, Yuhara asked Tigo.
"I'll try."
As Tigo finished speaking, her Chakra quickly spread in the direction of Konoha, and then her body located in Konoha, uh, the puppet clone opened its eyes.
"There seems to be a little delay, wait a moment... wait until I convert Chakra into thunder attribute... oh, it's much better."
Yuhara: "..."
Well, underground cables have sufficient bandwidth and no delay. After all, they are only a hundred kilometers long.
"A few puppets should actually be placed here, but... Konoha does not have the ability to make a puppet visual system, so it is best to use corpses to make humanoid puppets, but I don't have a suitable corpse in my hand." Yuhara added.
This topic seems a bit sinister, but Tigo does need a few puppets, because her body has no vision. If she wants to see something, she can only use the eyes of others.
Konoha knows Puppet Technique but is not proficient in it. Yuhara has no way to make puppet eyes, nor can he tuck someone's eyes into a puppet's eye sockets, so he can only use corpses to make puppets.
If anyone can create a completely mimicked puppet body, probably only Sasori of the Red Sands has such technology... Physical pain and mechanical ascension. Regardless of whether Sasori of the Red Sands has ascended now, I believe he will soon have the technology to ascend.
After placing the Tigo body, Yuhara did not leave here directly. After all, the night was already dark, but he did not choose to sleep. Instead, he took out a scroll and started to study... After all, learning makes people progress, and learning makes people happy.
In order to further transform the Chakra in his body into combat effectiveness, Yuhara plans to learn various commonly used Dotonjutsu, and he plans to develop his own five-escape compound ninjutsu based on this.
Because he is like Kekkei Genkai Ninja, he doesn't care about the other Chakra compound blood successors. He knows that he doesn't have the development ability. Compared with other blood successors, he is still a five-escape compound. Ninjutsu is even more exciting - Yuhara's special Magnet Release is very powerful, but the disadvantage is that all his moves deal physical damage. If possible, he still needs "magic damage".
There are still many things that Yuhara has to do, such as the learning of regular Dotonjutsu, the development of the Five Release Compound Ninjutsu, the learning of real Senjutsu, etc.
There was nothing to say all night, and Yuhara was ready to return to Konoha the next day.
But just when he was about to leave Secret Realm, something unexpected happened that delayed his trip.
At this time, Tigo has controlled the protective barrier of Nameless Mountain. Secret Realm has become the real Secret Realm. Unless she has permission, ordinary people can no longer enter and leave here at will. When Yuhara easily passed through the barrier and was about to reach the outermost edge of the barrier, he looked up casually and saw an acquaintance.
Sarah, who has been demoted from queen to female village chief, appears in Yuhara's field of vision.
Why did this person appear here? Yuhara frowned, and then he remembered that Loulan Remnants's village was not far from here.
When Yuhara saw Sarah, Sarah also saw him, and then her slightly bitter expression became brighter by the way. This change in expression made Yuhara couldn't help but start to guess whether this person was lost.
Probably Sarah was really lost, because after she saw Yuhara, she immediately ran over here quickly.
"Slow..."
Yuhara left and spoke to remind him, but before he could finish his words, Sarah had already stepped into the boundary of Nameless Mountain, so at the next moment, her figure suddenly disappeared from the place.
"Here..."
