The grand finale

Before even reaching Konoha, Yang Xing was discovered. Several ninjas looked surprised. But speaking of which, in the few years since he left, he noticed that Konoha had indeed changed a bit.

I wonder how that brat Uchiha Itachi is doing. If possible, it would be nice to have him join my Sunshine Group.

Yang Xing entered Konoha while thinking about this.

While I was still deep in thought, I sensed a figure rushing towards me.

The person who came in startled him, and before he could react, he was embraced by a voluptuous and delicate body.

It has to be said that Tsunade's pretty face hasn't changed in the years we've been apart, but a certain part of her body has changed a lot. Just how much has it changed? And when you hold her, you can feel how firm and soft she is.

It was definitely not a loss compared to before; without even looking, Yang Xing knew who the person in front of him was.

"Um, Tsunade- neechan?" Seeing that Tsunade was just holding him tightly without saying a word, Yang Xing was really afraid that he would lose control of his wild nature if this continued.

Ugh, my inner beast, what's wrong with you?!

Tsunade looked up, her eyes red, but only for a few seconds. She raised an eyebrow, immediately becoming angry, and smacked Yang Xing on the head.

"Kid, you're only just getting back now?"

"Ouch, that hurts! We haven't seen each other for so many years. Don't hit me on the head as soon as you arrive."

Tsunade smiled and hugged Yang Xing again, "Anyway, I'm so glad you're alright."

Yang Xing thought he was shameless, but he wasn't shameless enough to be carried around by Tsunade in the street. To be honest, the two of them weren't that much different in height.

In addition to Tsunade's prestige in Konoha, a large portion of the crowd gathered around, including the ninjas in the upper echelons of Konoha.

"That Lady Tsunade."

"Beast! Who is that guy? I'm going to kill him!"

"Calm down, Lady Tsunade isn't angry. It seems like she might have a new lover."

The stares from all around were too much for Yang Star Ninja. With great difficulty, he raised his head and pushed Tsunade, saying, "Tsunade- neechan, although I like it when you hug me, could you please consider where you are? If you're going to hug someone, you should do it at home."

"Kid, you still can't shake this bad habit." Tsunade patted Yang Xing's head with a happy expression, showing no sign of unfamiliarity. While grabbing Yang Xing's shoulder, she asked with a tense look, "I heard that you've been in the Land of Wind for almost three years now. What have you been doing?"

"It's only been a little over two years, not three. Anyway, there's a lot to do."

"Fine, whatever you've done, don't even think about running away this time." Tsunade clearly didn't want to ask any more questions. She grabbed Yang Xing's hand and walked into the outer Konoha: "Come here properly, I'm going to ask you a lot of questions. What have you been doing these past few years?"

Hi hi.

Pulled along by Tsunade, Yang Xing could only sigh helplessly, greet Guren and Konan behind him, and the group had already entered Konoha.

They walked towards a certain place.

Along the way, I once again experienced the prosperity of Konoha, but I always felt a strange atmosphere.

Yes, I don't know why, but there's a deathly silence. In the past two years, although I've completed several system missions, I've obtained very few Evolution Fruit. It's probably because nothing particularly big has happened. All in all, I've only completed one S-level mission, two A-level missions, and three C-level missions.

Of the three Evolution Fruits, two were used on the body, leaving only one— the Mangekyō Sharingan. Yang Xing didn't directly evolve it, since the Mangekyō was sufficient for him back in the Land of Wind.

Two Evolution Fruit are also necessary to improve his body; at the very least, his current physical attributes have reached the level of Jonin.

With the added bonus of terrifying achievements and aura, Yang Xing's basic physical attributes reached the Quasi-Kage Level.

The Quasi-Kage Level has indeed brought a lot more to life, and I've experienced things that are different from those below the Jonin.

Just like now, a lifeless atmosphere cannot escape Yang Xing's Chakra perception.

What happened to Konoha?

"The Third Hokage should have told you these things, but it's not too late to tell you now." Tsunade with a grim face, her expression unusually unpleasant, "The Uchiha Clan was completely wiped out."

This startled Yang Xing, who couldn't help but exclaim, "Impossible! There should still be a few years left... It's nothing, I didn't say anything."

Yang Xing immediately corrected himself upon realizing he had misspoke.

Frowning slightly, Tsunade glanced deeply at Yang Xing, but didn't seem to care much as she continued walking, saying, "Speaking of which, it happened a few months ago. Suddenly, a little guy named Uchiha Itachi unleashed some astonishing ability, killing all his clansmen, leaving only one survivor to escape. He practically wiped out the entire Uchiha Clan."

Uchiha Itachi is indeed a genius. It seems that it has something to do with me. My rapid progress has also caused these geniuses to unleash their potential prematurely.

If that's the case, then the mastermind behind the destruction of the Uchiha Clan should also be in Konoha.

It seems we made the right decision to come back this time.

Before long, they arrived at the Hokage's office.

Upon seeing the Third Hokage again, Yang Xing's face fell.

To be honest, Yang Xing isn't good at dealing with old people like that.

It was obvious that the Third Hokage's eyes lit up when he saw Yang Xing.

But the Third Hokage, true to his age and Hokage, quickly concealed the excitement in his eyes, simply raising his head and saying calmly, "It's good that you're back."

"Let me make it clear beforehand, I have no intention of staying in Konoha in any way," Yang Xing said, arms crossed, "Let alone doing anything in the backyard."

"This matter is no longer worth discussing." The Third Hokage smiled, his expression gentle. "For Konoha, your return is enough."

Yang Xing's eyes narrowed, and his expression turned impatient again. "Alright, old man, don't give me that fake compliment. From the moment you saw me, your eyes have been darting around several times. You're clearly up to something."

"Little one, you should respect me no matter what." The Third Hokage's face was full of smiles, showing no sign of anger. "I didn't have any ulterior motives; I just genuinely want you to return to Konoha."

"Hey, hey, just say what you have to say." Yang Xing waved his hand, but didn't want to continue. With the Mangekyō, people's expressions were easy for him to control.

When he came in, the old man clearly had a feeling that he had truly returned.

This Third Hokage old man definitely wants him to do something.

As Yang Xing had expected, the Third Hokage put on a serious expression and said, "Actually, there's a problem with our Konoha."

"The Uchiha Clan was completely wiped out?" Yang Xing frowned, his face showing displeasure. "Don't make me look for the person who wiped them out. I can't do it, and I don't want to."

"No, no, no, the Uchiha Clan was wiped out, and this has created many problems for our Konoha."

"For example?"

The Third Hokage said with a grim face, "For example, your Starlight Group is short of personnel. Although you can supplement manpower from outside villages, there is one place where you cannot supplement manpower."

"Just say what you have to say. You old man are quite cunning, even more so than Minato-sensei."

"That's not how it works. I'm only thinking of Konoha." The Third Hokage spread his hands, his face serious. "When I saw you, I suddenly realized a problem with Konoha that you could help me solve. It's very simple for you, and you don't need to do anything big for Konoha or become anything special. I just want you to serve as a special instructor ninja at Konoha's Ninja Academy for a few days until we find a suitable candidate."

"Furthermore, you can choose any child you want to be taught Ninjutsu. You'll be given the privileges of Special Jōnin, and the class times, methods, and locations won't be fixed."

"To put it simply," Yang Xing paused for a moment, then said, "You want me to become a teacher in Konoha? Old man, you've got it right. You can't keep me here, so you want me to teach a few ninjas. To put it bluntly, I do have the ability to teach a few geniuses."

The Third Hokage nodded seriously. "Yes, do it for as many days as you can. I have absolutely no intention of forcing you."

This Third Hokage is indeed not suffering from dementia.

It seems that the old man knew about my departure, and he probably made up my plan on the way back to Konoha.

It's impossible to oppose them now, and the terms offered are quite good.

Yang Xing thought for a moment, then agreed, "Okay, I promise you."

A certain year in Konoha.

The arrival of a new teacher at the school has the group of kids excitedly waiting for her.

"Hey, a new teacher has come to the school. I heard she's really good."

"Impressive?" One of the kids curled his lip. "What impressive teacher could possibly teach our class? We're a small class; they just picked any teacher to fool us."

"Naruto, you're wrong. This time, we have reliable information. This teacher is really, really amazing." After saying that, a girl looked at the boy with a cold face not far away and asked, "Um, what's your name?"

Sasuke.

"Your Uchiha Clan... no, it's nothing."

The handsome boy, arms crossed, stared silently ahead with a cold expression.

As one person entered, the classroom erupted in noise.

"They're here, they're here! Wow, so young! Could they be from another class who got here by mistake?"

"Shh, that's the guy. I secretly peeked at him from the Hokage Building."

As the newcomer entered, the classroom gradually returned to quiet.

Slowly walking in, Yang Xing faced the group of young kids and said directly, "From today onwards, I will be your ninja instructor. Of course, I'm different from other instructors; I will only choose ninjas I deem worthy to teach them Ninjutsu."

"Selecting only a few people, what does that mean? Is it because they're choosing capable individuals from among us?"

One of them jumped up onto the table and shouted, "Yosh! I'm sure I'll be chosen!"

Sasuke's eyes gleamed, and he pursed his lips. "Interesting."

Looking at this group of kids, Yang Xing had a deep smile on his lips.

The new legend of Konoha will surely be created through his own hands.
