Konoha

Chapter 7 Undercurrent

“Liuyi, your daughter Hyuga Harumi will protect Hinata from tomorrow.”

Hyūga Hinata wants to enter the ninja school to study. This is an attitude of the Hyuga clan that recognizes the status of Hokage, but thinking of her lovely daughter, Hyuga Misaki took this opportunity to transfer Hyuga Harumi to Hyūga Hinata’s side.

“Yes, Misaki-sama.” This is also a kind of affirmation for Hyuga Liuyi. His daughter can take care of the eldest lady of the Hyuga clan family. This is the greatest trust in him.

“Chongguo asked Uchiha Itachi on the training ground for the knowledge of Jiejin, and after Uchiha Itachi demonstrated it once, it took only ten minutes to reach the level of Uchiha Itachi that can make six seals in one second. And through my Observed by Byakugan, Chongguo’s method of forming seals is exactly the same as Uchiha Itachi, and even the beginning and ending movements are exactly the same, so I suspect that Chongguo may have a mysterious blood inheritance boundary that has never appeared before.”

Hearing this, Hyuga Hiashi, who had been tapped, sat up suddenly, and was shocked by Hyuga Hiashi, who was engrossed in telling the story.

“What did Master Third Hokage say?”

Hyuga Hiashi’s voice has a hint of inquiry, but his calm eyes reveal the thoughts he has already deduced.

“Master Third Hokage believes that Chongguo has the talent to surpass Leng-kun Orochimaru, and he is very suitable to become his disciple. Master Third Hokage has already planned to take Chongguo as the fourth disciple.”

Speaking of the key point, Hyuga Liuyi’s expression is very serious.

“Even to accept the fourth disciple at this age, he is still a ninja of civilian origin. It seems that he doesn’t want to retire, and does he have a blood inheritance limit that has never appeared before?”

Hyuga Hiashi was lost in thought, Hyuga Misaki motioned to Hyuga Liuyi to step down, Hyuga Liuyi nodded and should have bowed back.

On the other side of the Yamanaka family, Yamanaka Ino is holding a snow-white plate, in which a Sakura peach pudding is shaking slightly.

Yamanaka, who had just returned home, was sipping his wife Yamanaka’s hot tea. He noticed that Yamanaka Ino looked at the pudding on the plate like a silly roe, and shook his head helplessly.

“Zaohui, what kind of kid is that Zhongguo?”

It seems that I suddenly remembered the affairs of the heavy country, Yamanaka Hiichi put down the teacup and asked Yamanaka Hayae.

“Zhongguo, a very responsible child. After his parents pass away, he lives alone. He is very mature. However, he was a little bit rough in the past and messed up himself. Really, he is such a cute child.”

Yamanaka Zaohui actually likes the child Chongkuk very much. It used to be a bit colder, but every year on the parents’ festival, he would come to Yamanaka’s flower shop to buy flowers.

At this moment, Yamanaka said outside the door for three days: “Hi, I am Yamanaka for three days, and I have an urgent matter to report.”

“Come in, three days.”

After getting permission, Yamanaka walked in for three days. First, he respectfully said to Yamanaka Sae, “Saae-sama, excuse me.”

“It’s okay.” Yamanaka said with a smile, and then beckoned to Yamanaka Ino, took Yamanaka Ino out of the room, and gave up the space to Yamanaka Kaiichi and Yamanaka for three days.

After Yamanaka Sae and Yamanaka Ino left, Yamanaka walked respectfully to Yamanaka Hiichi and knelt down on one knee three days later.

“Hi, the ninja of the family just heard outside Hokage’s office that Third Hokage wanted to accept a civilian ninja named Shigekuni as his fourth disciple, and praised him for his talent beyond Orochimaru. Anbu’s Hyuga Liuyi concluded that he The country may have an unknown blood inheritance boundary that has never appeared before.”

Yamanaka’s words for three days seemed like a thunderstorm struck Yamanaka Kaiichi’s heart, and he didn’t even notice the hot tea in his hand.

“This is a big deal, Lord Third Hokage accepts the fourth disciple at this age. Is this going to push him to the position of Hokage? And he is still a civilian ninja. In three days, you should go and inform the Nara family and the Akamichi family.”

When Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke returned home, Uchiha Mikoto had already prepared a table of food. As the patriarch of the Uchiha family, one of Konoha’s two great clans, Uchiha Fugaku came back from outside.

Uchiha Fugaku smiled and touched the top of Uchiha Itachi’s head, and then said, “Itachi, don’t relax at this time. I will arrange for you to enter Anbu in two months.”

“Yes, father.”

Uchiha Itachi had already noticed the ambitions surging in the family. After hearing the news that he was going to enter Anbu, his heart sank, but because of his scruples about Uchiha Sasuke’s feelings, he did not express it.

“Itachi, Sasuke, when I came back just now, I saw you all smiling very happily. Did you encounter something interesting?”

Uchiha Mikoto took off his apron and smiled and said to Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke.

“I found a genius ninja who was able to raise the speed of Jieyin to the same level as me in ten minutes.”

Uchiha Itachi looked at the naughty Uchiha Sasuke, temporarily forgot the darkness that was surging in the family, and smiled and said to Uchiha Mikoto.

“You can raise the speed of Jieyin to the same level as yours in ten minutes. That’s an amazing kid!”

Uchiha Mikoto looked very surprised, but Uchiha Fugaku frowned. After looking at Uchiha Itachi, there was nothing to say.

As he ages, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen also knows that his deterrence against Konoha Village ninjas has been reduced to the lowest point. Even Anbu, who belongs directly to Hokage, cannot be fully controlled because of the existence of the roots.

However, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is already old. In his opinion, maintaining internal stability is more important than anything else. Once he changes the layout of Konoha Village, it is likely that Konoha Village, which has expectations of First Hokage, Second Hokage, and Fourth Hokage, will fall apart.

That kind of thing he didn’t want to see when he died, so he let Shimura Danzō again and again, and compromised in decision-making time and time again in order to maintain the stability of Konoha Village.

With Konoha Sannin’s departure and defection, the power of the Hokage family has dropped to its lowest point today. At this time, in Konoha Village, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen can only fight for civilian ninjas without family restrictions.

And to win the support of the civilian ninja, there is no better way than to accept a genius civilian ninja disciple who has an unknown blood inheritance limit that has never appeared.

When the news of Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen regaining the country as a disciple spreads, the middle and lower-class civilian ninjas who maintain the operation of Konoha Village will join the Hokage line without hesitation, just like the era of Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.

Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the Hokage Rock outside the window, and the flames in the pipe flickered, just like his heart at the moment.

In fact, after Orochimaru defected, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had no idea to collect disciples, but at this moment, the form of Konoha Village forced him to accept a disciple who was born as a civilian ninja, because only in this way could he win over a civilian ninja.

Thinking of Hyuga’s report, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little nervous in his heart. He was afraid to teach another Orochimaru again, and if Chongguo really had an unknown blood succession boundary that had never appeared before, then he might be better than Orochimaru is even more dangerous.

Although he just wanted to use his identity as a heavy country to win over civilian ninjas, he didn’t want to see a traitor that was even more dangerous than Orochimaru, but for the stability of Konoha Village, he had already made a decision.
