Where is the Hiruzen Sarutobi you promised?
What does it mean to be richer than a country? It means living Tenten.
When the girl handed the materials she had bought to Shazo, she didn't even blink, as if they were just a pile of ordinary metal, wood, and gems.
This led the Fifth Hokage to make a serious misjudgment, actually attempting to promote the Secret Technique of Sword Immortal.
Therefore, Konoha only has one Sword Immortal, Tenten, and only one complete set of swords.
The Fifth Hokage could only resort to the self-deception of Ah Q to comfort his wounded Mind Stone: it wasn't that he or Konoha poor, but that the secret techniques of this Sword Immortal were not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao of the Ninja World Heavenly Dao.
It was fate that prevented the creation of the sword, not that I was unwilling to spend the money!
What? Why can I have it Tenten?
Nonsense, while the Heavenly Dao may be ruthless towards the Lord Hokage, it dotes on the Lucky Tenten.
Only girls favored by Heavenly Dao are qualified to possess the weapon of Sword Immortal.
The Fifth Hokage Shazo, wasn't making this up.
Since mastering the Secret Technique of the Sword Immortal, Tenten's Luck Talent has been fully unleashed, transforming into a [Misfortune Halo], completely solidifying her title as the Great Demon King.
She not only makes herself invincible during cultivation, but also unleashes even more exaggerated effects in battle.
Before mastering the Flying Sword, the opponents I sparred with Tenten were quite Bad Luck. But it was just a minor problem of being distracted or lacking concentration.
But after mastering the Flying Sword, Tenten's real-world opponents are in big trouble. They will inexplicably slip, malfunction in Chakra side stitches, hiccup, and cough for no reason.
These may seem like minor accidents, but they are enough to interrupt Ninja's movements. In the heat of battle, such accidents can be fatal.
In Tenten final year before graduation, every single one of her opponents encountered unexpected events, without exception.
Some slipped when they went on stage and strained their hips by doing a split before the match even started.
Some sneezed at the last moment of performing Ninjutsu, and were then hit by a backlash of Chakra, vomiting blood.
Some attempted to perform a spectacular high kick, but ended up tearing their trousers and dying instantly.
After experiencing a series of unexpected mishaps, Tenten's classmates were no longer willing to compete against her.
Only Neji Hyuga had a strong enough will and, relying on his own great strength, withstood most of the unexpected events and fought Tenten several times.
Finally, the teacher, being Chunin, had no choice but to personally step in and engage in a sparring match with Tenten.
But he didn't hold out for long.
After experiencing several accidents that were not very harmful but extremely humiliating, and even dying once, the teacher abandoned his dignity as Chunin and sternly refused to spar with Tenten.
The proud and arrogant Neji Hyuga stubbornly persisted until graduation, but he was eventually tricked and disheartened, losing all ambition to compete for the top graduate position.
After graduating, and following a year of rigorous training, mastering more of the Gentle Fist, Neji Hyuga finally mustered the courage to challenge Tenten once again.
However, in that actual combat confrontation, Neji discovered that Tenten's [Misfortune Halo] had become even stronger.
Anything unexpected will happen if you get within 50 meters of the girl.
After knocking Tenten's sword away five times in a row, Neji Hyuga finally rushed to Tenten's side, bringing her into the attack range of the Eight Trigrams Palm, and also entering Tenten's 5-meter restricted area.
When Neji a horse stance, preparing to unleash the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, he suffered three unexpected setbacks in succession: twisting his ankle, hiccuping, and pulling a muscle. Even his solid basic skills and powerful strength could not withstand the attack.
As Neji endured the pain in his feet and chest and unleashed his second palm strike, a surge of immense power rushed to his anus, causing excruciating pain in his intestines that instantly turned his face pale.
For a moment, Neji was stunned.
Meanwhile, Tenten took the opportunity to retreat, widening the distance between herself and Neji Hyuga again.
After that, Neji was never able to turn the tide. He was bombarded by Flying Sword, and he was suffering from severe intestinal cramps that he had to grit his teeth to endure.
Even more critically, Neji had to expend a great deal of his energy controlling his trembling sphincter.
In the end Neji suffered the most devastating defeat of his life. He not only lost the challenge, but also lost consciousness from the pain.
Losing consciousness at this critical moment, one can only imagine the frenzied spray that followed.
Fortunately, the challenge took place in Tenten's home Martial Arts Arena, allowing Tenten to quickly clear the scene and Neji Hyuga, and also to spend a large sum of money to keep quiet.
Otherwise, Neji Hyuga would be completely dead.
Given his proud personality, he might just follow in the footsteps of Kakashi Hatake's father and commit suicide.
Perhaps this was also due to Tenten's Luck, which prevented her from losing strong teammates.
This incident had three subsequent consequences.
First, from Neji Hyuga was completely convinced of Tenten and kept his distance from her, avoiding contact whenever possible.
Secondly, Neji Hyuga believed that he had already died once, and his extreme personality was suddenly reversed, so there was no need for his uncle to apologize with tears streaming down his face.
Third, Tenten was terrified by Neji Hyuga's miserable state and finally realized the horror of the [Misfortune Halo]. She began to train the [Misfortune Halo] diligently, hoping to control the target and intensity of the Misfortune.
Therefore, Tenten frequently sought Shazo's help, which made Shazo very familiar with her specific strength.
In some respects, Tenten is comparable to Kage-level Ninja.
Ordinary Kage-level Ninja like the Fourth Kazekage, due to insufficient self-control, are susceptible to the effects of the [Misfortune Halo].
Coupled with the Inazuma- fast piercing of the Flying Sword, her life was in constant danger until Tenten stored Chakra was exhausted.
However, when the [Misfortune Halo] affects Kage-level Ninja, the Chakra consumed increases exponentially.
To ensure their own safety, they must expend more Chakra to place the Flying Sword 100 meters away.
In such an intense battle, Tenten's pitiful Chakra can only last for a few minutes before she completely loses her fighting ability.
If Tsunade were to challenge Kage-level Ninja like Tsunade or the Fourth Raikage, Tenten would appear quite powerless.
These powerful Ninja had near-perfect control over their bodies; they would never slip, experience intestinal cramps, unexpected hiccups, side stitches, or cough.
When the effects of the [Misfortune Halo] are insufficient to shake a powerful Kage-level Ninja, Tenten's Flying Sword will reveal its true strength.
However, against Ninja below the Kage-level Ninja, Tenten could sweep them away without any trouble.
Therefore, she is an invincible Ninja below the Kage Level, and the ultimate Demon King of this Joint Chunin Ninja Exams.
If Tenten can fully master the [Misfortune Halo] before the exam, she can even easily defeat Darui and Deidara.
The only exception is the outcome against Naruto Uzumaki, Shazo cannot guarantee.
In a battle between a boy and a girl, the difference in their inherent strength is almost meaningless.
If Tenten is a girl favored by the Heavenly Dao, then Naruto Uzumaki is a boy watched over by the Sage of Six Paths.
The conflict between the Heavenly Dao and the Sage of Six Paths, and the high level and complexity of the struggle between the boy and girl, are beyond the comprehension of the Fifth Hokage.
After all, he only shared the life level of Heavenly Tribulation Shazo, and did not digest his knowledge.
However, there's nothing to worry about. Ultimately, the battle for the strongest position will take place among the Konoha Genin, and regardless of the outcome, Konoha will emerge victorious.
The Fifth Hokage was very satisfied with the result, praised Hayama Shirakumo, and then concluded the work report.
Afterwards, Shazo did not go home to continue training in Dark Style, but instead went alone to the most secretive laboratory in Konoha.
Here, the Fifth Hokage encountered the Impure World Reincarnation form of the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.
Upon Tobirama Senju, Shazo Senju's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, completely obscuring his already large dark circles under his eyes. He roared with resentment, "Fifth, how dare you show your face before me!"
"Where's the Hiruzen Sarutobi you promised? How come it's gone after just one time?"
Shazo Zuo chuckled dryly, then shamelessly handed a stack of pre-prepared papers to Tobirama Senju.
The Second Hokage was so enraged that he was practically fuming, because his Reanimated Body was nearing its limit and, under the influence of his intense emotions, showed signs of disintegrating.
"You dare to make demands?!"
A violent aura erupted, like a tsunami breaking out in the ocean, shaking the entire laboratory, and various bottles and jars made a trembling clanging sound.
The Fifth Hokage Shazo, licked his lips and said, "Ah, I have no choice. There are no geniuses like you among the descendants of Konoha. Besides asking you, I really can't think of anyone else to entrust these research and development tasks to."
"Second Hokage, you've seen for yourself the tremendous results of your efforts this past year, the great progress you've made in Konoha. You should be proud."
Flattery will get you everywhere.
The Second Hokage's anger subsided by half after the Fifth Hokage showered him with praise, replaced by uncontrollable smugness.
As expected, Tobirama Senju is still the most useful to Konoha. The Fifth Hokage's judgment was quite good. But this kid's character is really too bad, so we can't give him a good look!
Thinking of this, Tobirama Senju cursed, "Ha! You damned brat! I'm proud to have contributed to Konoha, but how dare you treat me like this?"
He complained through gritted teeth, "They're making me work 24 hours a day, without a single day off for a whole year! Even a dead person wouldn't be treated like this!"
Shazo feigned concern for Tobirama Senju, saying, "Oh dear, how many years have you been lying here since you died? About 30 years, right?"
"Now that we've finally managed to get up, we should leave something behind for Konoha."
"You're already dead, what are you resting for? Get back to work, okay?"
Shazo tilted his head and dodged a flask full of distilled water.
Tobirama Senju cursed, "You brat, how dare you treat me like a child! Be careful, the next time I'm awakened, I'll chop off your head the moment I wake you up!"
Shazo grinned shamelessly, "Hehehe, I know you wouldn't want to kill me, Second Hokage. At most, you can hit me once, I can take it, ahahaha."
At this moment, Shazo's shameless behavior was exactly like the legendary Li Yunlong. His expression was particularly smug, making Tobirama Senju's teeth itch with hatred, wishing he could bite this bastard to death.
But the Second Hokage knew that this damned junior was right; he truly couldn't bear to kill him.
Tobirama Senju Hiruzen Sarutobi as the Third Hokage, but as a result, their staunch allies, the Land of Whirlpools and Uzushio Village, were gone, as were their thousand-year-old in-law clan, the Uzumaki Clan, and even all the Senju Clan members on the surface died.
Despite paying such a high price, Konoha is worse off than when it died. It took the Three Great Shinobi Villages to join forces to dare to besiege it, but now Kumogakure can attack it all by itself.
The entire Konoha gradually declined, except for the Sarutobi Clan, which prospered.
Tobirama Senju was an absolute conspirator, always thinking about things from the darkest perspective.
The more details he learned, the more conspiracies he imagined, and the more his anger towards Hiruzen Sarutobi accumulated, until it became indescribable.
Shazo had no psychological burden regarding the Impure World Reincarnation Third Hokage, but unfortunately, the Second Hokage was too angry. Hiruzen Sarutobi had just completed the Impure World Reincarnation and hadn't even realized what was happening when he was shattered by his own teacher.
Orochimaru had meticulously prepared a offering that he expected to use for a month, but it was all gone in just half an hour, so he was unwilling to waste it any longer.
Yes, this guy doesn't care at all about his teacher; he just thinks the Second Hokage was a waste of resources.
In Orochimaru's view, those Impure World Reincarnation are only temporarily awakened; ultimately, they are still dead. What's the point of a dead person feeling pain?
Orochimaru refused to cooperate, and his disciple Kabuto Yakushi couldn't force him, so Shazo had no way to Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Second Hokage, using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
He could only helplessly offer a smile to the Second Hokage, like a shameless little rascal, begging the Second Hokage to work harder.
There's no way around it; these past two years have been a period of explosive growth in science and technology in the Ninja World. Electric lights, movies, radios, washing machines, the Fridge, and air conditioners have all sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
No invention comes out of thin air; it requires the accumulation of technology and market demand.
There is demand in the Ninja World, but the accumulation of technology is completely lacking.
These electrical appliances, along with a series of technologies such as power generation, transmission, and transformation, all emerged suddenly without any prior preparation.
This strange situation alerted Shazo, which is why he had Orochimaru Impure World Reincarnation the Second Hokage using Edo Tensei. The three of them then held a technological discussion to determine if there was any conspiracy behind it.
Shazo's original guess was that a certain large ninja village, or a secret organization called "Kara," was accumulating wealth and then using that money to build up strength and stir up trouble in the Ninja World.
As the dominant force in the Ninja World, Konoha is the target of all troubles and must be prepared and guarded against.
After listening to the Fifth Hokage's introduction, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, first praised his caution and sensitivity.
Then he told Shazo that these appliances didn't require the advanced technology he had "guessed" about; they only needed people who couldn't Genin but could extract Chakra to be produced normally.
On the contrary, the designers of these appliances are very clever, able to come up with so many interesting functions.
