Four days later, Uchiha Kazama had already returned to Konoha.
Inside the Hokage's Office.
"Lord Hokage, the budget issue has already been settled."
"However, recently within the borders of the Land of Fire, a large number of shinobi from other villages have appeared."
"Moreover, violent conflicts have already broken out with our village's shinobi."
Shikaku Nara, sporting dark circles under his eyes, handed over a document with a somewhat weak demeanor.
Shikaku Nara's current state was clearly that of an overworked corporate drone pulling continuous overtime.
"Shikaku Shadow Helper, you should head down and rest first."
"As for these matters, I will arrange for someone to handle them."
Uchiha Kazama took the file and slowly spoke.
Uchiha Kazama certainly wouldn't bear to let such a useful shadow helper work himself to death.
"But..."
"Rest assured."
"Other matters in the village will be handled by Advisor Jiraiya."
Uchiha Kazama cut off Shikaku Nara's words.
Shikaku Nara glanced to the side at Jiraiya, who was sporting dark circles just like him, took a deep breath, and quickly left.
He truly needed rest.
Besides, now that the issue of the village's budget was resolved, Shikaku Nara, in his role managing internal affairs, could finally take a temporary rest.
After Shikaku Nara left, Jiraiya stepped forward.
"Hokage, how do you plan to deal with these shinobi?"
"Shinobi from other villages are the hardest to deal with."
"A slight misstep will trigger conflicts between villages, leading to large-scale clashes."
"The current state of the village is not suitable for such clashes."
Jiraiya voiced his own perspective.
"Shinobi from other villages are harder to deal with?"
"Advisor Jiraiya, I hope you can understand one thing."
"The shinobi of our own village are the ones we need to value."
"Those from other villages... since they've started provoking, they must be prepared to never return."
As Uchiha Kazama spoke, the killing intent in his eyes began to spill forth.
Hearing these words,
Jiraiya roughly understood Uchiha Kazama's decision.
As expected, this Fifth Hokage truly could not be analyzed using normal human thinking.
"Lord Hokage!"
At that very moment, Uchiha Ryunen entered the Hokage's Office.
"Has it been prepared?!"
Kazama spoke with a smile.
"Mn, it's already prepared."
"Those on record, as well as those who stepped forward on their own, everyone has gathered."
Uchiha Ryunen gave a definitive reply.
"Good."
"Advisor Jiraiya, the village is in your hands from here on."
"I'm going to fetch Tsunade back to the village!"
Having finished speaking, Uchiha Kazama stood up and vanished from the spot.
Looking at the empty Hokage's Office, Jiraiya was stunned for a moment.
Immediately, he picked up a piece of information from the desk.
Upon seeing the information on it, Jiraiya's gaze tightened.
"This..."
Jiraiya slowly walked over to the window and looked out toward the streets of Konoha.
Uchiha Kazama, leading a group of people, was currently walking in the direction of the village gates.
"Perhaps..."
Jiraiya flashed a strange look in his eyes, then returned to his seat and began dealing with the village's various affairs.
At the village gates.
"Nagasawa, you lead the team."
"What I want is total annihilation!"
"There is no need for interrogation, no need to get anything out of them, and no need to capture them back..."
"Death is the outcome they deserve."
Uchiha Kazama gave the order.
"Understood, Lord Hokage!"
Uchiha Nagasawa finished speaking and vanished from the spot along with thirty shinobi from the Uchiha Clan.
As for Uchiha Kazama, he led a group of people and left in another direction.
In the training ground of the Uchiha Clan Compound.
"Lightning Release: Sealess Lightning Beast!"
Sasuke raised his hand, instantly gathering a cluster of Lightning Release chakra.
Moving rapidly, the Lightning Release chakra in his hand also began to undergo shape transformation.
Having activated the Sharingan, Sasuke was able to master the Lightning Release in his hand with great precision.
"Boom!"
As the Lightning Release in his hand came down.
The Lightning Release instantly spread across the boulder before him.
It transformed into the heads of beasts and fiercely charged forward.
The boulder shattered as a result.
"Alright, today's training task for you is complete, Sasuke."
"Your talent for Lightning Release is truly formidable."
"Next, keep working hard to shift the shape transformation into a nature transformation, and then supplement it with precise control."
"Your Lightning Release will definitely reach a height that surpasses mine!"
Kakashi Hatake put away the book in his hand.
He looked at Sasuke Uchiha before him with a face full of pleasant surprise.
If judged by the standards of the Third Shinobi World War era, the current Sasuke already possessed the qualifications to go to the battlefield.
Yet in such a peaceful era, children also had more time for training.
"Naruto, you..."
"Kakashi-sensei, I've discovered a special ninjutsu."
"Take a look!"
Just as Kakashi was about to go ask Naruto, that guy rushed swiftly in front of Kakashi, his face brimming with excitement.
"A special ninjutsu?"
Kakashi's expression paused.
As the son of the genius Hokage Minato Namikaze, Naruto was someone Kakashi cared about a great deal.
Back then, Minato Namikaze's own talent for ninjutsu had also been extremely strong.
Including his physique, and Senjutsu...
Therefore, when Naruto said he had mastered a special ninjutsu, Kakashi felt quite expectant as well.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto instantly released the Shadow Clone Technique.
This was his signature ninjutsu.
Seeing the sudden appearance of over thirty shadow clones, Kakashi was somewhat taken aback.
"Naruto, weren't you able to release nearly a hundred shadow clones at the same time yesterday?"
"Did you not rest well!?"
Kakashi felt a bit puzzled.
Shadow clones... No, it was the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
Building upon his formidable physique and chakra, Naruto could easily master this forbidden technique.
He could even carry out special training by masking his movements.
Yet the number Naruto released now...
Could it be that Naruto had already considered that shadow clones also required mass?!
"I told you, this is a new ninjutsu."
"Kakashi-sensei, you better watch closely!"
"This ninjutsu definitely has the power of a super ninjutsu!"
"Ha..."
"Poof!"
As Naruto finished speaking, it was not only Kakashi.
Even Sasuke on the side activated his Sharingan, staring fixedly at Naruto's movements.
The next instant.
All the Narutos transformed into graceful, alluring beauties of various kinds.
Most importantly, completely naked...
"This..."
"Blood spurted!"
Before Kakashi could say a single word, he instantly suffered a massive nosebleed.
Sasuke at the side seemed as though he had suffered some kind of immense shock.
With his mouth wide open, he stood frozen in place, dumbfounded.
"Hehe, how is that?!"
Naruto, having released the Harem Technique, looked at the two of them with a smug expression.
