"Tsunade, I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect you to still remember me. Are these two your companions, Orochimaru and Jiraiya?"
Konohagakure, Senju Clan Compound of the forest.
As Takenaka Kaguya finished speaking, Tsunade looked very excited.
"Lord Takenaka, I..."
I just said the honorific, but when I looked at Takenaka Kaguya carefully, Tsunade was suddenly stunned.
Because, he discovered that Takenaka Kaguya's appearance was not that of a middle-aged man approaching forty years old at all, but that he was no different from a young man in his twenties.
However, before she could think too much, she suddenly saw the diamond-shaped Yin Seal mark on Takenaka Kaguya's forehead, and she instantly understood.
"You actually came to Konoha in person. A few days ago, grandma told me that you might not have time to come!" Tsunade replied with a smile.
"Well, originally I could just send someone over here, but when I thought about it, I haven't seen your grandma for several years, so I came over to have a look.
By the way, you haven't introduced me to these two kids around you yet!" Takenaka Kaguya nodded with a smile.
Given his strength and age, there is nothing wrong with the teenagers Orochimaru and Jiraiya being children.
After finishing speaking, before Tsunade could speak, Jiraiya introduced himself with a smile, "Lord Takenaka, I am Jiraiya, the companion of Tsunade."
"Lord Takenaka, my name is Orochimaru, and I am also a teammate of Tsunade."
Jiraiya took the lead, and Orochimaru naturally followed quickly. He didn't want to be cold and special. Just kidding, the man in front of him is the new generation God of Shinobi Takenaka Kaguya.
Just now, Takenaka Kaguya's eyes fell on him. I don't know if it was because he was too sensitive that he felt a huge pressure.
"Haha, hello everyone, as expected of the disciples taught by that boy Nissho himself, they are indeed excellent.
When I see you, I feel that time flies too fast, and the future must belong to you." Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile. Through Advanced Observation Haki, he had already clearly understood the psychology of Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
Jiraiya is like a big sunny boy. Apart from respect for him, he has no fear.
On the contrary, it is Orochimaru, which already vaguely means "Cold Lord".
On the side, Mito Uzumaki answered with a smile, "Okay, since you guys are here, you will have a meal with us here in a while and then go back."
"Okay, grandma/Lady Mito." The three of them responded quickly with a smile.
After that, the three of them obediently went to sit aside and stayed to listen to them.
At this time, Mito Uzumaki turned to look at Takenaka Kaguya, and then said with a smile, "Takenaka, don't praise them too much. Compared to you of the same age, the three of them are far behind!"
Hearing this, Takenaka Kaguya heard the meaning of Mito Uzumaki's words, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said modestly, "Sister Mito, times are different, and we can't look at today's young people with the same eyes as before.
I just took a look, Tsunade and the three of them, the amount of Chakra in their bodies has almost reached the level of Jonin. To have such strength at this age is already very good.
Therefore, I am very optimistic about them. If nothing happens, the three of them will grow into top Shinobi World experts in the future.
Especially Tsunade, I heard that she is quite talented in Medical Ninjutsu. As long as she continues to study hard, she will definitely become a Medical Ninjutsu master who can establish a sect in the future."
After saying this, Orochimaru and the three of them were very happy. After all, this was a compliment from New Generation God of Shinobi. Young people are naturally easily satisfied.
Mito Uzumaki, who was opposite, looked at the three Tsunade, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Then, she turned to look at Takenaka Kaguya, shook her head and said with a smile, "Takenaka, don't praise the three of them too much. They are still too young and they still have a long way to go in the future!"
Having said that, it can be seen that Mito Uzumaki is still very happy. After all, Tsunade is her and Hashirama's biological granddaughter, and Jiraiya and Orochimaru are also the best descendants of Konoha.
With such outstanding juniors, Konoha's future is in their hands, and she, as an elder, feels much more at ease.
In this way, because Tsunade and three other people are here, the chat content between Takenaka Kaguya and Mito Uzumaki is relatively relaxed.
After lunch, the three Tsunade were called away by one Anbu.
Takenaka Kaguya proposed that he would like to offer incense to Hashirama Senju.
So, Mito Uzumaki naturally accompanied me.
Not long after, in front of Hashirama Senju's tomb.
Looking at the photo of Hashirama Senju on the tombstone, Takenaka Kaguya showed a look of nostalgia on his face. He burned incense and stayed silent in front of the tomb for a long time. Then he turned around and walked towards Senju Clan Compound in the forest with Mito Uzumaki.
On the way, Mito Uzumaki's face became solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "Takenaka, I don't have a few years left."
Upon hearing this, Takenaka Kaguya stopped for a moment and said quickly, "Sister Mito, you..."
However, I saw Mito Uzumaki swinging Teuchi and breaking Takenaka Kaguya, and continued, "Takenaka, Nine-Tails Chakra are too violent, and they have been eroding my body over the years.
In addition, when I was young, I accompanied Hashirama on the battlefield, which also left some hidden wounds.
Haha, when I was young, I was in good health and had no problems, but now that I'm older, I really feel like I can't hold on any longer.
So, if possible, I hope Takenaka you can agree to Sarutobi's proposal."
As soon as these words came out, Takenaka Kaguya was once again stunned. At this moment, he finally understood why Mito Uzumaki had said it several times before, but could not bear it.
And this is the reason.
Although Mito Uzumaki was born in Uzushiogakure, she has been married to Konoha for so many years. She has completely become Konoha's person, so she naturally has to think about Konoha's future.
Moreover, with the death of the two brothers Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, although Konoha does not lack the strong Kage Level, there is a gap in the top level of the strong.
And Mito Uzumaki is still alive, fighting with her powerful Sealing Jutsu, and Chakra who can forcefully seize Nine-Tails at any time, so she can barely be considered a top powerhouse.
But if she also dies, Konoha will really have a top-level power gap. Therefore, after discussions with Konoha's senior executives, the idea was finally settled on Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Even if you need to face the danger that Nine-Tails may forcefully break away from the seal, if you are really desperate, you can sacrifice Jinchuriki and harm each other with the enemy.
Of course, this corresponding method is not applicable to Uzushiogakure who owns Takenaka Kaguya, but it is a very good deterrent to prevent the other four hidden villages.
After all, Nine-Tails is the strongest among Tailed Beast. Although it is regarded as a pet by top powerhouses such as Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, it is a powerful monster that cannot be resisted by ordinary Ninja.
Both combat power and destructive power are unparalleled.
Seeing Takenaka Kaguya's silence, Mito Uzumaki thought he was going to refuse, so before Takenaka Kaguya could answer, he continued, "Takenaka, sister, I beg you, Nine-Tails Chakra is too violent, and ordinary Ninja can't bear it at all.
Only the constitution of the Uzumaki Clan people can bear it, so I hope you can agree to my request and agree to Sarutobi's request."
"Alas!"
Suddenly, Takenaka Kaguya sighed and said with a wry smile, "Sister Mito, why don't you just say "please", I understand your worries.
Although Konoha's requests have been rejected by me over the years, I have not refused to agree to it.
First of all, sister Mito, you were still young and didn't need the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Plus, I really couldn't stand what the little Monkey did, so I refused every time.
Secondly, Konoha and our Uzushiogakure are allies. I will not stand idly by and let Konoha lose this important strategic weapon Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Now, since you have said so, sister Mito, I naturally have no reason to disagree.
Let's do this, I think sister Mito, your body will be fine for more than ten years. Six years later, I will personally send you a pure Uzumaki Clan person."
"Okay, great, thank you very much, Takenaka."
In an instant, Mito Uzumaki showed a happy smile on his face and quickly said words of thanks.
Seeing this, Takenaka Kaguya smiled bitterly, then looked at Mito Uzumaki with some complaints and said, "Sister Mito, next time don't say the scary words like you are going to die just now, my little heart can't bear it.
I have seen too many lives and deaths, and now there are not many Ninja of the same generation left!"
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore." Mito Uzumaki laughed and agreed immediately.
Mito Uzumaki was sent back to his residence, and Takenaka Kaguya also returned to the yard arranged by Konoha.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Mingyue Takenaka walking over quickly. After a slight salute, she said with a smile, "Why did father come back so soon? Didn't you go and talk to Lady Mito?"
"Well, what needs to be said has been said, and I will naturally come back.
By the way, the next Chunin Ninja Exams will be left to Mingyue to be supervised by you personally. I only have two requirements.
First, don't lose the face of the village. Although Konoha is known as the largest Ninja village in Shinobi World, they are still far behind in terms of individual combat capabilities.
Second, how many people are brought this time, how many people will be there when we go back? I don't care whether Konoha's Ninja dies or not, but no one of the people we bring should be missing.
Can it be done?"
"Yes!"
Mingyue Takenaka saw that his father was not joking, and he immediately nodded solemnly and answered.
Then, she came out with a booklet in her hand, handed it to Takenaka Kaguya and said, "Father, don't worry, the only people we can pay attention to this time are these five people.
They are Princess Tsunade, the granddaughter of First Hokage, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, the other two disciples of Third Hokage, as well as Hatake Sakumo, who was born in the Hatake Clan, and Dan Katō, who was born in the Kato Clan.
According to the investigation by underground spies, although these five people are still Genin, their strength has been infinitely close to the Jonin level, and can even explode to a strength that exceeds Jonin.
Among them, the most worthy of attention are Princess Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo. The former seems to have obtained the same psychic beast as First Hokage Hashirama Senju, and Katsuyu of Shikkotsu Forest.
The latter relies on his Hatake Kenjutsu, which can strike quickly and accurately. Once he gets close, it will be difficult to escape..."
Mingyue Takenaka said a lot, all about the Genin information that she had learned and deserved attention.
After hearing this, Takenaka Kaguya waved his hand and said, "Mingyue, your deputy is really qualified. No wonder Chen Long guy often told me that he wants to transfer you to me.
Okay, now that you know what to do, let your Konoha Ninja discuss how to arrange the next exam. As long as there is no death, I will not care."
"I know, father!" Mingyue Takenaka responded respectfully.
However, as soon as they finished speaking, Takenaka Kaguya and Mingyue Takenaka turned their heads almost at the same time and looked at the door of Takenaka Kaguya.
"Haha, this girl Observation Haki has made great progress." Takenaka Kaguya thought with satisfaction in his heart.
Soon, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and there was another sound immediately.
"Lord Takenaka, junior Hyuga Toko, come to visit."
The door opened, and Hyuga Toko, whom he had not seen for many years, walked in followed by two little boys.
"I've seen Lord Takenaka. I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same style."
As soon as Hyuga Toko came in, the moment he saw Takenaka Kaguya, he saluted with a very respectful expression on his face.
"Hehehe, it's been a long time indeed. Dongfang, no need to be polite, just get up."
Takenaka Kaguya chuckled and motioned for Hyuga Toko to get up.
"Lord Takenaka, these are the two children of the junior generation, Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga." Hyuga Toko introduced with a smile.
After that, he looked down at his two sons and said, "Hiashi, Hizashi, salute Lord Takenaka."
"Hiashi/Hizashi, I've seen Lord Takenaka."
It has to be said that Hyuga Clan's courtesy is rare in the entire Shinobi World. Although Hyuga Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga are still young, they can see the stability they have cultivated since childhood.
"Haha, get up."
Takenaka Kaguya smiled and nodded, then looked at Hyuga Toko and said, "You are really lucky to have two such outstanding sons. If Hyuga Clan is handed over to them in the future, you might have a chance to surpass Uchiha Clan."
Hearing this, Hyuga Toko smiled and shook his head, and said humbly, "Lord Takenaka, you have given me the award. It remains to be discussed whether these two children can take Hyuga Clan from me in the future.
However, Dongfang is here to thank you Lord Takenaka for coming here this time!"
"Oh? Why did you say that?" Takenaka Kaguya was puzzled.
"Lord Takenaka Look."
This is when Hyuga Toko pulled Hizashi Hyuga and pointed at Hizashi Hyuga's forehead. There was nothing on Hizashi Hyuga's forehead.
Then he explained, "Lord Takenaka, you know that although Hiashi and Hizashi are both my children, as soon as they are born, one of them is destined to be separated and will be bound by Caged Bird for life.
However, Hizashi is not engraved with Caged Bird now. It is precisely because this junior ripped off your tiger skin, so the clan agreed to let Hizashi not be controlled by Caged Bird."
