Konoha.
On the street.
The group chatted and laughed, Goenji naturally blended in. They mainly talked about family matters and ordinary everyday things, without discussing national affairs or wars.
During their conversation, Goenji learned that Kushina was a regular in this neighborhood, but he had never seen her before, suggesting that she was being well protected.
It's likely that the intensity of the war has decreased, which is why Kushina is here now, and the security isn't as strict.
Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
It is indeed easy for local countries to target it.
After chatting with them for a while, Goenji wisely stopped lingering and left with Aburame Fuzei. He could already sense that there were many Konoha Ninja lurking in the shadows.
He came out on a date today, not to gather intelligence. His target wasn't the Nine-Tails inside Kushina's body. There are so many Tailed Beasts; there's no need to choose a difficult one. Anyway, every Tailed Beast has a lot of Chakra.
That's enough for him to develop and use various Ninjutsu.
"That older sister is so pretty!" After getting away from Kushina and the others, Aburame Fuzei to Goenji.
She is indeed the older sister, because the Aburame Fuzei eighteen years old.
Kushina was only a few years older than her.
Calling her "older sister" is perfectly fine.
Upon hearing this, Goenji felt that he was of a lower generation.
"She's really beautiful, and she's a good match for Minato. They're both quite sunny," Goenji chimed in.
"But compared to you, everyone is inferior."
"When did you start being so sarcastic?"
"Hmm... maybe, when I'm with you."
"Then we'll treat you tonight."
"Hmm? I'm still young!"
"I don't mind that you're too young, so you don't think I'm too old, do you?"
"Cough... no..."
In the days that followed, Goenji lived a life that was not appropriate for someone his age, becoming increasingly listless, which puzzled Itachi Uchiha, who was studying.
Normally, Master Goenji is very energetic and studies Ninjutsu Tenten without ever slacking off. He also has excellent time management skills. Why has he changed now? He's even started studying human anatomy.
In-depth study.
And then there's medical and pharmaceutical knowledge—it's simply bizarre.
Goenji noticed Itachi Uchiha's gaze, but he didn't care. What did a child know? Let him have his doubts about adult matters.
Many Uchiha ninjas gradually returned from the battlefield to rest, and only after they had rested enough would they return to the battlefield.
Compared to before, the pressure on Konoha is much less now.
At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi also noticed the calming Ninjutsu used by Goenji. He directly bought it with some Ninjutsu knowledge, further strengthening Goenji's foundation.
As a Ninjutsu expert, his research on Ninjutsu was also very impressive, or rather, much better than Goenji had imagined.
Very detailed.
It was extremely useful for him in developing Ninjutsu.
There was a little incident Shimura Danzō brought Orochimaru to his house and invited him to join Root and work for Konoha.
But who is Goenji? He's living a wonderful life right now, and he's quite free. He just goes to the Uchiha Police Force to stand guard and occasionally attends the Konoha Council. That's all he needs to do. Why make such a fuss?
He refused immediately.
Danzo didn't say anything, he just left with Orochimaru.
Before leaving, Orochimaru smiled at him.
In fact, they would occasionally gather together to study Ninjutsu. How could Goenji let go of an opportunity to learn knowledge for free? Orochimaru's research ability was among the best in the Shinobi World.
At the same time, discussions about Minato Namikaze became rampant in Konoha, gradually overshadowing Orochimaru and elevating Minato Namikaze to a very high position.
This made Goenji realize that it wouldn't be long before Minato Namikaze succeeded as the Fourth Hokage, and that the Konoha 12 would all be pregnant soon, entering their mother's womb.
The most obvious change is that Aunt Mikoto is pregnant, which has led to Itachi Uchiha visiting him less often.
Such a clear wind naturally blew towards the Uchiha, but the Uchiha had no objections to this, because they highly approved of Minato Namikaze becoming the Fourth Hokage, including Fugaku and other high-ranking members of the Uchiha.
Not only them, but other Konoha High Command also expressed their support for the trend of Minato Namikaze succeeding as the Fourth Hokage and did not try to stop it.
According to Aburame Fuzei, the Aburame has no objection to who is the clan leader, since they serve the Hokage, not any particular individual, so no one has any complaints.
This is the thinking of most families in Konoha.
They will not get involved in Konoha's political stance.
And no one will push them out.
This is different from my previous life; this is a world with extraordinary powers. No one is forcing them to take sides, since the power is in their own hands.
Inside a barbecue restaurant.
"I will pass your message on to my teacher, but don't get your hopes up too high. My teacher is very busy right now and doesn't have time to teach you Sealing Technique."
Kakashi and Rin sat opposite Goenji, and this was the only way they could ask for help.
It's currently the time for their teacher to compete for the Hokage, and they're unsure if their teacher will have the time. Even if Goenji has shown them kindness, it can't stop their teacher from becoming Hokage.
"Just tell me, and I believe that with Minato- senpai's vision, he will definitely have his own ideas. I'm waiting for the day when Minato- senpai Hokage." Goenji chuckled.
After so much time, he finally found an opportunity to get Kakashi and the others to persuade Minato Namikaze, and at the same time, his Sealing Technique had improved once again.
He believed he had already mastered the Sealing Technique used to seal the Tailed Beast.
"Oh, right, I heard you have a boyfriend, congratulations!" Kakashi said with his deadpan expression, offering his congratulations.
The man in front of him was indeed more talented than him.
Now she even has a boyfriend/girlfriend; it'll probably be less than a year before they get married.
However, he has no interest in marriage.
Lin stood by, smiling and offering her congratulations.
The person I met at the library back then has become increasingly impressive.
"Yes, when you get married, I'll invite you to the wedding banquet, you absolutely have to come." Goenji grinned.
He's ready to get married, probably in about a year.
Getting married at this age is quite normal in the Shinobi World.
However, some people in the family had objections to this, but he suppressed them all, not even the elders, because he was the strongest.
Furthermore, Fugaku Uchiha, as the clan head, also supported him.
Even if he didn't marry someone from the Uchiha.
