Konoha Hospital
Hongshi: "Zzzzz."
With a deafening gurgling sound from the Hongshi, ripples spread across the water in the glass.
Kakashi's eyes widened, bloodshot. "Damn it! It's so noisy!"
Hongshi and Kakashi were assigned to the same hospital room. Kakashi, suffering from a splitting headache, had to endure Hongshi's snoring. Unable to bear it any longer, he struggled to sit up in bed, slowly crawled to Hongshi's bedside, and grabbed his mouth and nose with his right hand. "Kill... kill you!! Lightning Blade!!!"
"Huh? There's killing intent!!" Hongshi's body jolted, instantly waking up. However, the first thing he saw was a Lightning Blade appearing before his eyes, striking him squarely between the eyebrows. "Emmm, it feels a little numb."
Kakashi, having exhausted his Chakra, foamed at the mouth and fainted again. Hongshi Stone caught him, exclaiming, " Kakashi-sensei! You're too weak!"
"Bang!" At that moment, the ward door was pushed open, and Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō, dressed in dark green Jonin uniforms, slowly walked in.
Hongshi: "ﾞ━͟͟͞͞(Ŏ◊Ŏ‧̣̥̇), why are you all wearing these clothes!"
Shimura Danzō's left eye blazed with fury. "It's all because of you!! We'll have to complete twenty S-rank missions together before we can get back to where we were!"
Chakra Hiruzen Sarutobi had plenty of chakra and was full of energy. "Hey Danzo, those twenty S-rank missions were done pretty quickly, weren't they? Besides, Koharu and Homura still have to serve as gatekeepers for Konoha for a year before they can become Konoha advisors. Who do you think is worse off?"
Hongshi: "Hahaha, the... the gatekeeper!"
"Ahem." Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice. "Alright, we're here today to talk to you about something."
Hongshi carried Kakashi back to the hospital bed and, without any hesitation, immediately used a healing jutsu on Kakashi, engulfing Kakashi's body with blue Chakra: "Then tell me."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: " Hongshi-kun, why are you acting like nothing happened? Weren't you also affected by Tsukuyomi?"
Hongshi: "Yeah, someone with a strong will like me recovers quickly. Just tell me if you need anything."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Um, do you still have Chakra? We're both getting old, and our Chakra won't hold up if this keeps up."
Shimura Danzō: "Yes, you used your Spirit Transformation Technique to restore us to our peak condition. After we regain our identities, I'll promote you to the Anbu. What do you think?"
Hongshi: "(°ー°), Lord Tobirama is just a soul, why are you all so afraid of him!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Shh! Lord Tobirama is at the training ground right now, don't let him hear us!"
Hongshi: "Damn, the training ground is more than ten kilometers away from here, are you afraid he'll hear us?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi Shimura Danzō: "Shh! Don't say anything."
Seeing the fear on their faces, Hongshi shook his head. "Alright, put your hands out."
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other man exchanged a glance, and Hiruzen extended his hand to Hongshi. Hongshi grasped their hands. " Yin Seal - Spirit Transmission!"
"Thump thump!" The Four Symbols Seal Technique appeared on the hands of the two.
Having Hokage for decades, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately recognized the significance of this seal. "What an exquisite seal."
Shimura Danzō: "What is the Yin Seal?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: " Sealing Jutsu can be set as Yang Seal and Yin Seal using Yin-Yang Release- Yang Release. Yang Seal are the most commonly used, and they are effective at all times, but this often results in ineffective sealing. Yin Seal are different; Yin Seal only take effect under specific circumstances or when we actively activate them, such as Hongshi-kun's Spirit Transmission Technique. We can use it ourselves in dangerous situations without worrying about wasting it."
Shimura Danzō: "I see."
Hongshi was completely confused. "I was just Chakra for you according to the Strength of a Hundred Technique, why are there so many complicated details?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two seemed to sense the immense Chakra within the Yin Seal, and their expressions began to change.
Shimura Danzō: "What abundant Chakra! I feel like I've returned to my state thirty years ago."
Hongshi: "You've been enhanced. Go deliver them."
Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to remember something. "Oh, right, there's one more thing. If you're free, hurry up and go find Tsunade. Jiraiya and Naruto have already left."
Hongshi: "Huh? Sakura isn't going?"
Shimura Danzō: "After careful consideration, Lord Tobirama has decided that it's best not to let the Lord First and Tsunade meet..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply, "After all... Konoha suffered such heavy losses, and we don't have enough funds."
Hongshi recalled Tsunade's tendency to lose every bet and deeply Tobirama's poor judgment in personnel management, "Hmm, that's right, Konoha's resources are probably not enough to cover their losses."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: " Danzo and I are going on a secret mission to investigate this guy named Tobi who recently appeared, and to rescue Yuhan."
Shimura Danzō: " Lord Tobirama is very interested in Yuhan."
Hongshi: "(°ー°), Oh, be careful..."
Obito, inside the Kamui Dimension, suddenly found the Rasengan in his hand suddenly unappetizing. "That feeling is back."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "You Jiraiya. Kakashi's injuries will probably take a long time to heal, and I'm counting on you for Sasuke's special training."
After saying this, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō left the ward without waiting for Hongshi to speak.
Hongshi: "You two are treating me like a support, aren't you?"
Hongshi continued to give Kakashi some finishing touches when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, "Hmm? Why is someone else here?"
"Red... Hongshi-kun..."
Just then, a timid voice came from outside the door. Hongshi looked up and saw that it was Hinata Hyuga: "Oh! It's Hinata- chan! What brings you here!"
Hinata, carrying a ninja tool pouch, awkwardly clutched a scroll in her hands. "Um... Father asked me to go with you to find Lord Jiraiya..."
Hongshi: "A conspiracy! It's definitely a conspiracy, but I love it!!!!"
Previously, Hongshi had said that he liked Hinata. After Tobirama's cold and excellent political mind was verified by Neji Hyuga, he immediately thought of the marriage alliance.
By deliberately increasing contact between Hongshi and Hinata, Tobirama aimed to rapidly develop their relationship and further control Hongshi within Konoha. Tobirama foresight was undeniable, and his methods flawless. However, he overlooked one crucial point...
Hongshi only saw Hinata as a little sister; his true love was... Hanabi Hyuga...
Lord God: "∑(❍ฺд❍ฺlll) You damn pervert!"
Hongshi: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm only fourteen years old."
Hongshi stood up and looked at the shy Hinata: "Oh! Let's go then!"
Hinata: "Um... um... nice to meet you!"
Hongshi: "Oh, you don't need to be so shy. Come on, do you know what your Chakra nature is?"
Hinata: "I... I don't know."
Hongshi: "Then let's chat slowly... Do you like green peppers?"
Hinata: "..."
Hospital rooftop
Neji Hyuga watched Hinata walk away side by side.
"(≖_≖) That Hongshi, if he dares to hurt Lady Hinata, I'll kill him!"
Tobirama's soul slowly floated up. "You don't even have this much magnanimity, yet you talk about integrating the Branch Family and Main Family. Come on, let's go cultivate. Today I'm going to teach you a forbidden technique."
