Give Yamato a Raise

Shirakumo Hayakumo Sōma, who was still preparing to volunteer for battle, was also trembling with fear at Yamato's words, looking utterly dumbfounded. She thought to herself, "I'm so smart. Even if I awakened the Wood Release Bloodline, I'll just say my left hand is paralyzed. As long as I can't put my hands together, I can't use Wood Release Ninjutsu. Yamato, don't Yamato you. Even a dog wouldn't be the Minister of Ministry of Agriculture, damn it!"

Over the Hayakumo Sōma's strength has improved very rapidly. His Chakra reserves are already at the High-level Kage level, and he possesses the Storm Release Kekkei Genkai, as well as the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai. However, Hayakumo Sōma rarely practices Wood Release Ninjutsu because his Wood Release is similar to Yamato's before—all dead wood. But it's still more than enough to build a three-bedroom apartment.

However, Storm Release Ninjutsu mastered Hayakumo Sōma Release ninjutsu to a high degree, to the point where he could use two S-rank Mission Storm Release Ninjutsu. Hayakumo Sōma publicly claimed that he couldn't bring his hands together, that he had a hand disability, but that he could perform hand seals with one hand, sometimes with his right and sometimes with his left.

And all of this depends on Hayakumo Sōma's mood. If he's in a bad mood, he can use his toes to form hand seals, but he just can't bring his hands together to form the hand seals for Wood Release Ninjutsu. Moreover, the degree of disability is also determined by Hayakumo Sōma's mood. If necessary, he can tell Yamato that he's paralyzed.

Yamato, too, transforms into a super detective, Tenten in Konoha! He catches those who know Wood Release Ninjutsu, then heads to the Hokage Building to try and assign them to the Ministry of Agriculture —he needs a vice-minister. If possible, Yamato even wants to return to the Anbu, so he frequently follows Senju Taoyuan, hoping to see him use Wood Release Ninjutsu, gather evidence, switch places, and then become the Anbu's minister himself.

Only Kurofuji Kumo-ma remained calm, watching Yamato drag someone into the mess. He thought to himself, "Luckily, I'm the captain of the Lightning Armor Corps. If I were the head of the Anbu, I'd have to be careful of that freak Yamato. Tenten's always monitoring Senju Taoyuan, just waiting to drag them down so he can leave Konoha's Ministry of Agriculture. I'll have to be wary of those guys from the Ministry of Agriculture from now on; they better not step on my head."

During these three and a half years, Kumo-ma also integrated high-quality Uchiha Vaccines, trained his Lightning Armor daily, and honed it to the power of S-rank Ninjutsu. He also mastered Lightning Armor Storm Release Ninjutsu, and his Chakra reached the high-level of Kage Level.

Overall, his strength Shouhon Yihan's, both at the Peak Kage Level. However, compared to Kumo-ma and Senju Taoyuan, he is still considerably inferior.

Because after Senju Taoyuan awakened the Sage Body and the Wood Release Bloodline, and the amount of Chakra within his body was increasing rapidly, the Senju Clan's bloodline had been activated. Therefore, Senju Taoyuan's combat power was second only to Kakashi.

That's why Yamato was able to spot Senju Taoyuan among all the executives and had always wanted to give Senju Taoyuan the position of Minister of Ministry of Agriculture so that he could become the Minister of the Anbu himself.

Yamato also knew that Kakashi possessed Wood Release Bloodline, but dared not implicate Kakashi, because Kakashi was extremely cunning and treacherous. He even needed to embolden himself, as Kakashi might even be helping him! Because of the pressure from Senju Taoyuan, Yamato secretly tried to curry favor with Kakashi, even sending Kakashi various Icha Icha Paradise, fruits, and vegetables.

Meanwhile, the ministers of the Technology Department, the Human Resources Department, the Missions Department, and the Ministry of Finance Department—all ministers of Konoha —looked relaxed as Yamato continued to denounce Senju Taoyuan, accusing Taoyuan of dishonesty, inaction, and even shirking responsibility and obligations.

Meanwhile, Genma Shiranui, watching Yamato dragging others into the water, maintained a nonchalant expression, indicating that none of this concerned him. He thought to himself, "Yamato, you don't know the Flying Thunder God Technique, so you can't possibly compete with me for the Flying Thunder God Technique captain's position! Besides, I can't possibly practice those useless wooden Ninjutsu either. What's the point? Is Wood Release faster than the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Genma Shiranui, after years of training, has reached the second stage of the Flying Thunder God Technique. He can now use it solo to traverse the battlefield, Flying Thunder God Technique quickly and swiftly to eliminate enemies.

Furthermore, Genma Shiranui can use the second stage of the Flying Thunder God Technique for Space Transfer. However, he cannot teleport anything too large because his Chakra is limited, only at the Mid-level Kage Chakra. Also, his mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique is not solid enough, so his understanding of Space Transfer is not profound enough, which can sometimes lead to situations where he cannot teleport anything.

The other two members of the Flying Thunder God Squad had also mastered the second stage of the Flying Thunder God Technique, allowing them to move swiftly across the battlefield, but their visual and dynamic reaction abilities were inferior to Genma Shiranui's. Therefore, they weren't as proficient in using the Flying Thunder God Genma Shiranui.

Seeing the significant improvement in the strength of these officers, Qingcheng bestowed upon them titles, thus bringing together the Konoha Village Five Tiger Generals.

For example, Senju Taoyuan is the Anbu Tiger, the captain of the Lightning Armor Corps, Kumo-ma, is the Lightning Armor Tiger, and there was also the former Fat Water Tiger, Hayakumo Sōma, the Ministry of Agriculture Tiger, Yamato, and the Greed Tiger, Shouhon Yihan. These department heads are all top-notch talents in Konoha.

Qingcheng, seeing Yamato still bombarding Senju Taoyuan, waved his hand, signaling Yamato to stop. Then, with a serious expression, he said, "Yamato, your thinking is dangerous. You won't be participating in the 'Fat Water Operation Plan' against the Land of Wind this time. However, I have other tasks for you, and I know you're working very hard, so I've decided to give you another raise."

Senju Taoyuan, who had just been Yamato cold sweat by Konoha, was also quite surprised. He muttered to himself, "If I were to become the Minister of Ministry of Agriculture, what would become of me? I'd be stuck building houses, streets, bridges, roads, and hydroelectric power stations in Konoha Tenten. I'm doomed, doomed, doomed. I'm going to be killed by the Dahe."

However, when Qingcheng refused, Senju Taoyuan was still excited, thinking to himself, "I can continue to be the head of the Anbu, and I can continue to be the Tiger of Konoha 'Anbu Tiger. Hehehe, as expected, the Hokage wouldn't let a high-level talent like me become a construction ninja in the Ministry of Agriculture."

When Yamato heard Hokage Hokage's words about getting a raise, he still didn't seem very happy. He just stared blankly and said, "Thank you, Hokage. I just wanted to leave the village to test my strength. After all, I've been building this house for five years, and I still don't know if the hot springs in the Land of Hot Water are still comfortable and fragrant, or if the women in the Land of Hot Water Springs are still pretty."
