When Itō Yuying returned to camp, everyone gave him a warm welcome. Might Duy immediately clung to him. "Thank you, Yuying! Boo-hoo!"
Nearby, Tsunade gritted her teeth in anger. "That damned Might Duy! A grown man, acting so shamelessly!" Then she stormed off.
Looking at Might Duy hanging off him, Itō Yuying was speechless and shoved him away. "Seriously, am I ever going to find a partner at this rate?"
Then all his friends thanked Itō Yuying, and he responded to each of them!
Seeing Nara Sano and Torifu Akimichi approach, Itō Yuying greeted them respectfully. "Senior Torifu, Sano." The two nodded in satisfaction and patted his shoulders. "Well done, Yuying. Thank goodness we had you. Come, let's talk in the office." "All right." Itō Yuying followed behind them.
Once they reached the office, they said, "Tell us what happened, Yuying!" Itō Yuying then told them how he had transported the Five-Tails to Iwagakure, causing immense destruction and heavy casualties among the Rock Ninja. Ōnoki had suffered further injuries on top of his existing ones. The two battle-hardened elite jonin listened, dumbfounded. Traveling from here to Iwagakure would take at least twenty-odd days, and that was at full speed! Yet Yuying had actually teleported the Five-Tails there from here. How-how was that possible? Good heavens! Who would dare fight Itō Yuying in the future? If he got upset, he could go wreck your village. Who could stand that?
Seeing the astonishment on their faces, along with the three eavesdropping at the door, Itō Yuying nodded. "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key." Nara Sano then began writing the battle report furiously, filling five scrolls. He told Itō Yuying, "Yuying, hurry and deliver these to Lord Hokage." Itō Yuying made an OK sign, picked up the scrolls, and vanished before them.
"All right, he's gone. Come on in!" Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shimura Danzō, and Kagami Uchiha entered. They exchanged silent looks, still not over what they had just heard. Torifu Akimichi said, "Are we getting old? But I'm only twenty-nine!" The others nodded silently too.
Itō Yuying appeared out of thin air in the Hokage Building. Tobirama Senju was a little surprised. His messenger hawk should still have been on its way! Puzzled, Tobirama Senju asked, "Did you receive the letter from my messenger hawk?" Itō Yuying was equally puzzled. "No! I'm just delivering Lord Nara Sano's report on the situation at the front."
"Oh, I see." Tobirama Senju understood. "Here, give me the battle report. Sit on the sofa and wait a moment." "All right." Itō Yuying sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
Tobirama Senju read carefully, growing more astonished with every line. From time to time, he glanced at Itō Yuying, and then the corners of his mouth began twitching nonstop. Finally, he burst into peals of laughter. Then he used Flying Thunder God to appear beside Itō Yuying, startling him. "Teacher, you could have walked over in just a couple of steps. Did you really need to use the Flying Thunder God Technique?"
"Hahaha! You little brat, your teacher is happy! Let's see who dares look down on our Konoha now!" Itō Yuying thought, Nobody dared look down on our Konoha to begin with. Tobirama Senju began pacing back and forth again, laughing from time to time.
Itō Yuying found it very odd. Once Tobirama Senju calmed down, he said, "Here's the thing. I actually have a mission for you. I need you to take some supplies and personnel to the Land of Lightning Front Line. Those two radicals, Kinkaku and Ginkaku, have been constantly testing our Konoha. There have already been casualties in small-scale clashes, and they urgently need medicinal supplies, ninja tools, and other provisions."
After hearing Tobirama Senju out, Itō Yuying readily agreed. "Then I'll write an intelligence report for you to deliver to Sano."
"All right," Itō Yuying replied.
Tobirama Senju's brush flew across the page, and he finished in no time. He handed it to Itō Yuying. "Sorry for the trouble, Yuying." Itō Yuying smiled and said, "Vanish," then disappeared on the spot. Tobirama Senju began assigning tasks. Before long, Itō Yuying arrived at the Hokage Building with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō. The two greeted Tobirama Senju. "Hello, Teacher." "Mm. Danzo, Hiruzen, thank you for your hard work." "It's nothing," the two said.
Tobirama Senju went over some more details. Just then, an Anbu reported, "Lord Hokage, everything is ready." "Mm, let's go take a look." They arrived at an area filled with large numbers of storage scrolls and supplies piled outside them. "There's so much!" "Mm, this could be a tough battle." "Then, seniors, sorry for the trouble, but please come over with me first."
"All right," the two answered. Then, with practiced ease, they placed their hands on Itō Yuying's shoulders. Itō Yuying placed one hand on the supplies wrapped in tarpaulin, then touched two fingers to his forehead. With a whoosh... they vanished. Watching the mountain of supplies disappear, Tobirama Senju and the other ninja marveled. Maintaining his composure, Tobirama Senju said, "All right, don't act as though you've never seen anything before."
Before long, Itō Yuying appeared beside Tobirama Senju again. "Mm, how are things over there?" "Not bad. Fairly stable." "Then stay over there a few more days, Yuying." "All right." Next came transporting the ninja.
Itō Yuying first transported fifty jonin, then took the remaining hundred chunin over in two trips. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Three trips transported a hundred and fifty people, easy and pleasant.
In the Konoha camp, Senju Ziyu laughed heartily. "Thank you! Thank you all! You've really helped me out!" Then her gaze turned to Itō Yuying, who was drinking Senzu Bean Soup. "Yuying, right? Thank you so much." Itō Yuying said, "It's my duty, Lady Ziyu."
"Haha, that still deserves thanks! With this much in supplies, a ninja escort would have taken at least a month and a half. Feeding the people and horses along the way would have used up a good deal of it, too. And that's not all-who knows whether they might have encountered enemies en route? Yuying, you've been an enormous help!" Itō Yuying could only accept her thanks humbly, repeatedly exchanging polite words.
Just then, a ninja ran in. "Reporting, Lady Ziyu! Kinkaku and Ginkaku have brought their men, and they're already fighting ours!"
Senju Ziyu and the other jonin went out to meet the enemy. Itō Yuying said, "Lady Ziyu, be careful of their ninja tools. I hear they were left behind by the Sage of Six Paths." "All right, Yuying. I'll be careful."
More than fifty Konoha ninja had already died on the battlefield. "Pah! Does Konoha have nobody left? What trash! And our poor Raikage is still there calling for peace! Hahaha, useless fool!" Ginkaku sneered. Kinkaku laughed too. "All right, little brother, save some strength. These are all small fry, cannon fodder. The real big fish will be here soon."
"Yeah! If they dare come, I'll take them all down with my Rope of Gold and Silver! Hahaha!" As he spoke, Ginkaku burst into laughter again. For some reason, it took so little to make him laugh.
Looking at Ginkaku laughing across from them, they wondered, Has this man gone mad?
"Konoha's trash finally showed up!" Kinkaku declared arrogantly. Hiruzen Sarutobi gathered ki in one hand, forming an Energy Wave, and fired it fiercely at Kinkaku. Kinkaku easily dodged and was just about to mock him when he heard an explosion behind him. He looked back at the bodies strewn across the ground and instantly flew into a rage. "Your life is mine!" He entered Tailed Beast Mode at once and began fighting Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained calm and faced him composedly, constantly keeping his distance as they fought. Kinkaku could not touch him at all. The current Hiruzen Sarutobi was far stronger than the Hiruzen Sarutobi in the anime from the previous life. He skillfully incorporated ki into his techniques, making them astonishingly powerful.
Shimura Danzō did not hold back either, going straight into battle against Ginkaku.
