Might Guy's Team, Danzō's Gaze

Time passed quickly. After completing this mission, everyone returned to their usual routine of D-rank missions within the village.

Besides missions, they also focused on training.

Through this period of hardship, everyone recognized their shortcomings and began to train with all their might.

Sasuke, in particular, not only sought out Yamei to learn Genjutsu but also underwent special training with Kakashi.

Sasuke also began learning Chidori from Kakashi, which was much faster than in the original timeline.

Meanwhile, Naruto continuously honed his Taijutsu while strengthening his Chakra control. Yamei had also given him the Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere, which he was diligently practicing.

As a result, Naruto was no longer just the Naruto who could only make Rasengan and Shadow Clones; he now possessed two Wind Style Ninjutsu!

It was a bit of a shame that his body was still too small to practice Wind Style: Rasenshuriken.

Besides these two, everyone else was also working hard. For example, Hinata could already skillfully use Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, and she was not far from using it in actual combat.

Of course, Yamei was not among those who were diligently training.

"Ah! Yamei! How can you waste such youthful days lying around!! Let's have a youthful spar!!"

Yamei, lying on a tree branch, looked speechlessly at Rock Lee below, who was wearing a green outfit, had a slicked-back hairstyle, and was doing push-ups frantically.

Yesterday, while he was lying here being lazy, he had accidentally encountered Might Guy's Team training here!

Tenten and Neji recognized Yamei at a glance, and then Yamei also met Might Guy and Rock Lee.

After Yamei caused Hinata to strike Neji that time, Neji no longer harbored resentment towards the Main Family or hated his fate as before.

Instead, he was training diligently, seeking a chance to break free from his destiny! And also for the "value" Yamei had mentioned!

So Yamei had sparred with Neji.

Who would have thought... this would have attracted Rock Lee!

He knew that facing Rock Lee, simply defeating him would only make him stick to you like gum, constantly seeking spars, so Yamei refused his invitation.

However, even though he hadn't provoked him, this guy still invited him to spar every time they met.

"Yosh! Push-ups complete!" Rock Lee flipped himself up.

"Well done! Rock Lee! This is truly embracing youth! For the sake of youth, let's have the two of us, master and disciple, run fifty laps around the village now!" Might Guy exclaimed with a laugh, giving a thumbs-up, a glint even faintly visible at the corner of his mouth!

Yamei just stared blankly as the two eccentric individuals ran off, then turned his gaze to Tenten and Neji, who were still training.

"Tenten, does Rock Lee often ask you to spar?"

Tenten was startled, then shook her head, "No, but Rock Lee often spars with Neji."

Yamei couldn't help but look at Neji, "Neji, if you fought Rock Lee with all your strength, who do you think would win?"

Hearing Yamei's question, Neji fell into thought. After a moment of hesitation, he replied, "If Rock Lee activated the Eight Inner Gates, I might not be his opponent."

Yamei looked at him with some surprise. Although he knew Neji had changed, he was still a bit surprised by such a self-assessment of inferiority.

"Interested in training Taijutsu with me?" Yamei looked at the two of them.

"Can we really?" Neji's eyes lit up. He knew how formidable Yamei's Taijutsu was!

"Of course. You can find me here again tomorrow, and I'll guide you then." Yamei jumped down from the tree, checked the time, and started walking towards the village.

"Tenten has to come tomorrow too..."

Don't let Tenten's use of space-time Ninjutsu in battles fool you; her Taijutsu is not bad at all, otherwise, she wouldn't be training with Might Guy.

"Okay!" Tenten immediately responded.

Teaching the two of them Taijutsu was not a spur-of-the-moment decision for Yamei.

As for Neji, there was no need to say more. When he eventually removed the Caged Bird for him, he would become a capable subordinate under his command!

As for Tenten...

Who could refuse a cute little girl with a Chinese-style bun and a Chinese dress!

Opening the Sea of Derivations, a smile appeared on Yamei's face.

[Acquired Materials: Konoha Style Taijutsu Compendium! Strong Fist, Rotation.]

"As expected of Might Guy and Rock Lee!"

Konoha Style Taijutsu: It includes Konoha Gale, Konoha Whirlwind, Konoha Great Whirlwind, Konoha Rising Dragon, Konoha Violent Wind, and more!

This was a massive haul! Plus Might Guy's Strong Fist and Neji's Rotation! This would bring significant progress to his Art of a Hundred Refinements!

"Analyze and integrate all into the Art of a Hundred Refinements."

[Analyzing, estimated duration: 6 hours.]

In Konoha's Root, Danzō's eyes slightly opened. A Root ninja suddenly appeared and presented a scroll.

"Lord Danzō, here is the intelligence regarding Hyakawa Yamei."

Danzō took the scroll and opened it. As he read, his expression grew more solemn.

By the time he saw the information regarding the A-rank mission in the Land of Rivers, he could no longer control his expression, and a greedy glint flashed in his eyes.

"Source of Life! A power no weaker than the Tailed Beasts! And a potent life force!"

"How can such a forbidden power be sealed within a mere child? It must be controlled by the village! It must be distributed by me!"

"Only then can it achieve its greatest potential and make Konoha even stronger!"

Setting the scroll down, Danzō slowly stood up, tapping his cane on the ground. "Fū Yamanaka, accompany me to the Hokage building."

Fū Yamanaka's figure instantly appeared, kneeling respectfully on one knee. "Yes, Lord Danzō."

Upon arriving at the Hokage building, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew who it was the moment the door opened.

"Danzō, is there something you need?"

"The Red Ideology that has been causing such a stir in the ninja world for the past two years, you must have heard of it, right?"

Danzō didn't bring up Yamei's matter directly, opting for a different approach.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face immediately showed a grave expression. "How could I not know? Not only have the surrounding smaller nations reacted intensely, but within the Five Great Nations, there are also continuous responses!"

He also didn't know how this Red Ideology had spread. It had inexplicably stirred up a wave of enthusiasm among the common people throughout the ninja world.

The most terrifying part was that, according to this ideology, it actually worked!

This immediately impacted the ruling status of the major nations and ninja villages.

Therefore, not only Konoha but also the Five Great Nations attached great importance to the Red Ideology and were continuously trying to control it.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that the Red Ideology that had spread was less than half of the true Red Ideology, he might become even more anxious.

After all, Yamei, Shisui, and the others knew that if the complete Red Ideology were to spread, it might trigger a revolutionary wave across the entire ninja world!

Triggering a ninja world war prematurely was definitely not what Yamei and the others intended, which was why they had spread an incomplete ideology.

"Danzō, are you here because you've discovered the disseminator of the Red Ideology!? Or the organization behind it?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up, looking at Danzō with some anticipation.

Seeing this, Danzō's mouth twitched slightly. He doesn't know anything! I'm just using this as a starting point...
