On Half-Moon Island, by the coast.
"Haha, Takenaka, as long as you don't mind." Genji breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"Elder Genshi considers me so much, so naturally I won't be unappreciative.
Akina It's okay to stay, my aunt is really bored when she's alone on weekdays. With her here by her side, we can relieve her boredom by talking." Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile.
He didn't care, and Genji was also frank. Furthermore, he knew that Genji didn't want him to completely separate from Kirigakure, but he wouldn't accept someone sent by others, so he took on this task with the purpose of establishing a buffer zone between him and Kirigakure's senior management.
It's okay, I won't go out next time, and it will take time to prepare to start practicing Yin Seal.
Moreover, the relationship between Kirigakure and him has not yet reached the point of falling out directly.
"That's good, Takenaka It's best if you think so.
By the way, Hozuki Gengetsu was carried to the village two days ago. When he and Iwagakure had no fight, he was unexpectedly attacked by Iwagakure and Genin, and almost died under the Dust Release ninjutsu." Genji nodded with a smile, and then continued with a smile.
"Huh? Hozuki Gengetsu was actually attacked by a Genin from Iwagakure? How is this possible?" Takenaka Kaguya was surprised and asked quickly.
"Hahaha, this is true, Yuki Ran-O Jonin said it himself.
If Hozuki Eibun Jonin hadn't discovered it in time and pulled Hozuki Gengetsu's hand, I'm afraid Hozuki Gengetsu would have died in the hands of that Iwagakure Genin."
Speaking of this, Genji couldn't help laughing.
To be honest, he didn't expect that with Hozuki Gengetsu's strength, he would almost die in the hands of a Iwagakure Genin. It was simply outrageous.
But the facts are before our eyes, and it really happened.
"What is the name of this Iwagakure and Genin?"
On the side, Takenaka Kaguya thought for a while and had a guess in his mind.
"After checking, the name of Genin is Ōnoki, the grandson of Iwagakure First Tsuchikage Ishikawa, and also Wu's disciple.
Although he is only Genin, he actually learned the undeveloped Dust Release. He can be said to be the leader among the younger generation of Iwagakure.
If nothing else happens, in the future, Ōnoki, this Genin, is likely to become the Third Tsuchikage after Iwagakure." Genji introduced with a smile.
"It is indeed him."
Takenaka Kaguya thought to himself, when Genji just talked about Dust Release, and it was Genin, then there was only this guy Ōnoki.
In the original work, Ōnoki took over the position of Third Tsuchikage after Second Tsuchikage Mu died, and then began his decades-long Tsuchikage career.
It can be said that after Ōnoki came to power, under his leadership, although Iwagakure has never been a match for Konoha, it has also allowed Iwagakure to always have strong war strength.
Moreover, he is also the only one among Naruto World who participated in the first movie of Fourth Shinobi World War!
At the same time, he is also the person who bears the title of Shadow and has been in office the longest.
"This guy Hozuki Gengetsu is really getting better and better as he gets older, and he is actually attacked by a mere Genin.
So, in this way, he was not able to bring those craftsmen back to the village from scratch?" Takenaka Kaguya looked at Hozuki Gengetsu with disdain, and then asked again.
"Well, after that guy discovered Hozuki Gengetsu's intention, he immediately decided to use Dust Release to kill those craftsmen.
Now, without outstanding craftsmen joining in, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen Project proposed by the village can only be shelved." Genji said with a sigh.
After Takenaka Kaguya gave him the materials needed to make Ninja Blade, he brought Kirigakure safely back. However, the craftsman responsible for Hozuki Gengetsu was gone.
As a result, Seven Ninja Swordsmen Project can only be stranded.
It is said that a clever woman cannot cook without rice, but similarly, if there is only rice but no one to cook, there is no way to succeed.
"Haha, Hozuki Gengetsu is really a loser. He is good at fighting within and outside fighting outside.
He knew clearly that there was no one who was causing trouble, but he didn't find and protect the craftsmen immediately.
Now that the mission has failed, I don't know if he still has the nerve to live." Takenaka Kaguya said with a sneer and disdain.
"Takenaka, not everyone can maintain a 100% mission completion rate like you.
Although this mission failed and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen Project customized by the village's senior officials was stranded, no matter what, Hozuki Gengetsu is not only the current patriarch of the Hozuki Clan, but also the disciple of Master Byakuren, the next successor to Mizukage recommended by the village's senior officials.
Therefore, he will not be punished. After all, behind him, there are Yuki Clan and Hozuki Clan supporting him. Even if others want to shake his position, these two ninja clans will not agree." Genji said with a helpless sigh.
Genji had just proposed to punish Hozuki Gengetsu at the previous meeting, but the two major ninja clans stood up to oppose it.
As the most powerful ninja clan in Kirigakure, their power has penetrated into every aspect of Kirigakure.
"It's okay, Elder Genshi don't care what I think.
Although I have had conflicts with Hozuki Gengetsu, I also know the situation in the village.
Take your time, Elder Genshi. Nowadays, the Sengoku era has just ended, and everyone just wants to recuperate, so even if Hozuki Gengetsu does commit more serious crimes, Serious mistake. As long as Hozuki Clan and Yuki Clan are here, Hozuki Gengetsu cannot be punished." Takenaka Kaguya waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Yeah, I know." Genji nodded.
"By the way, I have something to trouble Elder Genshi." Takenaka Kaguya said.
"You said."
"In the next two years, I will no longer carry out the tasks assigned by the village." Takenaka Kaguya said calmly.
"Ah? Why?" Genji was surprised.
You know, most of Kirigakure's difficult tasks are undertaken by Takenaka Kaguya himself.
Moreover, in order to ensure that a lot of work is completed, the high-level combat power of Takenaka Kaguya is very important.
"I will conduct a two-year closed practice. During this period, in order to ensure that my practice goes smoothly, I cannot use Chakra.
Therefore, even if I take over the tasks assigned by the village, I will not be able to use my full strength." Takenaka Kaguya said calmly.
After hearing this, Genji frowned. He was not worried about what would happen if Takenaka Kaguya did not accept the tasks assigned by the village within two years, but he was worried that Takenaka Kaguya would not be able to use Chakra's security guarantee within two years.
After thinking about it, Genji nodded and said, "Takenaka, don't worry about the mission, I will talk to the village's senior officials.
It's just that you can't use Chakra within two years, so how should you solve your security problem?"
