This meeting was really just a formality, a way to notify everyone. It was not actually meant for discussion!
Why were there really idiots who wanted to place the Caged Bird on Akiyama Shun?
Was that really a human brain?
Hyuga Hiashi looked at the two of them and fell into thought as well. How did the Hyuga Clan have such fools?
"Since you two aren't cowards, go talk to the Hokage yourselves. Tell him you want to place the Caged Bird Cursed Seal on Jiraiya's teacher and Tsunade's student. Go on."
After speaking, one elder even waved them off.
"Then let's have the minority follow the majority."
After exchanging glances, the two elderly elders chose to respect the majority's decision.
"Then let us discuss another matter. There is also intelligence that Akiyama Shun used a special Rotation—a true three-hundred-and-sixty-degree defense with no blind spots, and he could even move while maintaining it. I think we should ask him for guidance."
After a brief moment of shock, everyone agreed with Hyuga Hiashi's proposal.
After all, he was Jiraiya's teacher. He surely had something extraordinary about him, and asking him for guidance was not embarrassing.
"Then I will send a letter to the Hyuga at the front lines and have them seek guidance from Akiyama Shun."
Inside the Hokage's office.
After reading the battle report Jiraiya had sent, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression shifted from initial astonishment to delight.
What did it mean that Akiyama Shun had thrown a single Rasenshuriken and left Chiyo's life and death unknown?
Who was Chiyo? A puppet master renowned throughout the Ninja World, a standard Kage-level combatant. In conflicts between ninja villages, someone like her was a strategic-level asset. Yet now, she had been taken down by a single jutsu from a Chunin like Akiyama Shun?
