Yashamaru's Choice

The captains of each squad gave their orders and prepared for a survival drill.

With the captain ordering the team to disband, the Genin began to enjoy their private time.

"Hello, Gaara."

Coincidentally, Naruto and his friends had just left when they ran into Gaara and his group, who had also announced their disbandment.

"Naruto."

Gaara greeted him with a smile, smoothly Sasuke aside.

Sasuke: I'm a little annoyed.

But he had already decided not to speak to Naruto today, so he awkwardly moved aside.

Who is your captain?

Naruto was very curious about Gaara's captain.

"He's Jonin from the Hyuga Clan, named Iroha Hyuga."

Gaara said the other person's name.

"So he's a ninja from the Hyuga Clan. That's impressive."

Naruto sighed, and then he heard Gaara ask about the captain of their Team Seven.

"It's a Special Jonin named Mitarashi Anko, but according to her, she's only the acting captain. Our real captain is still out on a mission."

Can this thing even be sold as a distributor?

The older Temari puzzled.

As the group was talking, Naruto suddenly felt a chill on his back, followed by a fair hand placed on his shoulder.

"Brother Bai?"

Naruto turned around and saw Haku, who had a very handsome smile, standing behind him.

"It's me, Naruto, and Karin. Lord Minato has set off on a mission, so remember to come over for dinner tonight."

Naruto and Karin were already used to their father leaving the village, so they didn't ask any more questions and simply nodded in agreement.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Shiro turned to look at Temari and the others, nodded in acknowledgment, and then vanished in Body Flicker Technique.

"Such formidable strength."

Kankuro timidly approached his eldest sister.

That's it?

Temari's eyes flashed with disdain. While Shiro's strength was indeed good for his age, it couldn't be considered very strong.

After all, she was once the eldest princess of Sunagakure, and her understanding of the ninja world far surpassed that of her two younger brothers.

Temari conservatively estimates that Haku's strength is probably not even as great as their uncle, Yashamaru.

Thinking of Yashamaru, Temari a faint sense of anticipation.

According to a high-ranking official in the Internal Affairs Department, Yashamaru will be released today, and from now on, his entire family will have to serve Konoha.

He is currently imprisoned in the Internal Affairs Department.

Ibiki Morino, with a cold expression, led two of his men to the cell where Yashamaru was imprisoned.

At his command, one of his subordinates unlocked the chains of the gate, freeing Yashamaru from his restraints.

"Yashamaru?"

Upon hearing Ibiki's voice, Yashamaru visibly trembled, then whispered, "It's me."

"Okay, come out."

Having received the answer he wanted, Ibiki left the cell first, having two subordinates take Yashamaru to wash up before sending him to his office.

Seeing Yashamaru's delicate features revealed after washing up, Ibiki remained expressionless and picked up the information about Yashamaru's deeds from the table to read it.

As for where this detailed information, which even listed Yashamaru's career in the Anbu, came from, the Fifth Kazekage, Pakura, smiled but remained silent.

"With your abilities, it would be a waste for you to go back to washing dishes at that hot pot restaurant."

Looking at the silent Yashamaru, Ibiki cut to the chase. "I hope you can come and serve in the Internal Affairs Department. With your experience in the Anbu, these tasks shouldn't be a problem for you."

Yashamaru did not immediately express his opinion after hearing this.

"The reward is substantial."

"Good."

Thinking that he still had three children to raise, Yashamaru agreed to the other party's request.

What else can we do if we don't agree?

Yashamaru understood the principle of being at the mercy of others.

"Those three kids are all Genin Konoha now, and they're being assigned to classes today. You can take this money and find somewhere to celebrate."

Ibiki handed over the banknotes that he had prepared beforehand.

"This was arranged by higher-ups, you can take it without worry, it's not part of your salary."

Seeing the thick wad of banknotes in Ibiki's hand, Yashamaru decisively took it.

It's stupid not to take money when you have it.

Although he disliked Konoha's methods, Yashamaru decided to forgive them for the sake of the money.

After all, Konoha and Sunagakure were allies at the time, so it would be perfectly reasonable for them to transfer their group to Sunagakure.

Therefore, Yashamaru didn't harbor much hatred towards Konoha.

As for whether or not to avenge Rasa--

Screw him. If it weren't for that guy, my sister might not be dead.

While Minato were en route to the moon in response to Kazashiro's call, earth-shattering changes were taking place on the moon.

The Toneri huddled in the palace, trembling, the occasional rumble of collapsing buildings echoing in his ears.

Kazashiro and the others originally planned to wait for Minato and the others to arrive before continuing their actions, but Hizashi suddenly said that he saw Hamura Otsutsuki's guidance and that Toneri was currently on the wrong path.

Then, relying on his Byakugan, this guy found the path to the Palace of the Toneri.

Then the Third Hokage, the still vigorous Shinobi Hero, began his operation.

He wielded the thick, hard Adamantine Staff.

Each swing takes away several puppets and parts of the building.

Uchiha Hikari was stunned, and it also brought back some unpleasant memories from her early years.

After all, she herself had fought against the Sarutobi Clan, so she must have been well "taken care of" before.
