In fact, if she had no other choice, Chiyo would not want to ask Yuki to teach her, but there is a big problem in the village now.
That is, there are simply not many geniuses who are good enough.
At a glance, basically everyone can only be a jonin at best, including Temari's teacher Maki, who probably won't have the possibility of making any further progress in his lifetime.
So far, everyone in the village has looked around, and the only ones who are considered acceptable and have hope of entering the ranks of "Kage" are the three children of the deceased Fourth Kazekage Rosa.
Among them, the youngest son Gaara is the most dazzling one.
However, Chiyo witnessed Gaara summoning One-Tail to attack friendly forces on the border, which made Chiyo's opinion of Gaara drop to the lowest point.
He is too neurotic. Even if he has outstanding abilities, he is not suitable to lead the village.
What if Gaara suddenly goes crazy one day and starts attacking the village?
So in the end, after much discussion with the village elders, they chose between Kankuro and Temari for a long time, and finally decided on Temari.
If Temari doesn't make much progress in a few months, then we can try Kankuro instead.
If it doesn't work in the end, then Chiyo will have no other choice.
Perhaps it was fate that Sunagakure Village should decline.
Under the street lights, Chiyo's eyes were cloudy.
"It would be great if Scorpion was still in the village. If he were, we wouldn't have to worry about the successor to the Kazekage."
Chapter 111 Uchiha Izumi (Second Update)
"Chirp, chirp~"
In early December, magpies were chirping at the main gate of Konoha.
After about a month, the escort team led by Sarutobi Hazuki finally returned to Konoha.
There were a total of 110 people when they left, but only about 60 people came back.
After delivering the body, Ye Yue led the team to the Hokage Building to report on their work, but Tsunade was not there. The only person in the Hokage's office was the long-legged young lady Shizune who was acting as the office manager.
After asking, Hazuki learned that Lady Tsunade had personally led a large number of troops out of the village.
A super team consisting of more than 20 jonin including Kakashi and Might Guy, more than 40 special jonin such as Uzuki Yugao and Mitarashi Anko, and 5,000 chuunin set out towards the Land of Lightning, intending to have a face-to-face negotiation with the Raikage.
Moreover, Konoha has now announced that it has entered a state of war readiness and has notified all ninjas on missions outside to return to the village and stand by.
In other words, if the negotiations fail, war is likely to break out directly.
When Naruto heard the news, he was suddenly stunned.
Because this plot did not happen in the original book, I don’t know whether it was not clearly stated in the original story, or this incident was fanned by the tiny butterfly wings, causing the direction of the world to change.
If it is the latter, then this incident may trigger more subsequent chain reactions, and it is possible that the story will change as a result.
In other words, the advantages that Naruto can gain in the plot will also disappear.
but
"What is there to worry about? We were going to change the future anyway, it's just happening a little earlier now."
After thinking about it, Naruto didn't take it seriously.
The future itself is changing all the time. If you feel discouraged because you have lost a tiny advantage, it would be better to follow the steps from the beginning and wait for Uchiha Madara to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
"Now there is just one more enemy, Yunyin, so we can just fight him together."
Naruto's mind was clear, and he put aside the slightest regret for the loss of foresight.
His gaze moved to the graceful Madam Ye Yue and the long-legged Miss Shizune. After admiring their beauty for a while, he sighed in his heart.
None of them are as good as Lady Tsunade.
I had come to the Hokage's office originally because I wanted to wash my face, but unfortunately she wasn't there.
Alas~!
So boring.
The winter wind outside was blowing coldly, hitting the glass of the Hokage's office.
The legs under the long skirt moved quietly indoors, crossed their legs, and the snow-white and delicate skin was exposed to the air.
Ninjas are different. They are not afraid of the cold at all.
Shizune twirled the pen in her hand, "Now we have decided on the quota of ninjas that will stay in the village to defend it. All families will be treated equally. If a war breaks out, at least 40% of the Chunin and above ninjas must participate. Madam, when you go back, remember to decide with the elders of the Sarutobi family about who will go to the battle and who will stay behind."
Sarutobi Hazuki shook her head and said sternly, "I can't make the decision on this matter. Asuma is the head of the Sarutobi clan now. I can only fully support Tsunade-sama on my own behalf, and I can't make any claims on his or the Sarutobi clan without authorization."
"That's a bit difficult." Shizune gritted her teeth: "Asuma and Hong went to the Snow Country to do a mission, and there has been no news back yet."
Tsk.
Naruto's lips curled up into a small smile.
Asuma and Kurenai have been captured by Haku and Orochimaru, and they probably won't be able to come back for a while.
Ye Yue looked distressed. She thought for a moment and said, "Please give me some time, Lord Shizune, to send someone to contact Asuma and ask him to come back as soon as possible. If he can't come back before the war, I will discuss it with the elders of the family on his behalf."
"That's best." Jingyin thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The snow outside seemed to be getting heavier, becoming denser and floating on the roofs and tree branches.
Naruto glanced at the gloomy sky with heavy snow, and estimated that it was almost afternoon.
"Sister Shizune, Madam, you two can chat. I'm going to practice my ninjutsu first."
After saying hello to them, he left the Hokage's office on his own.
Now Yeyue and Shizune were talking about serious matters, and there was no point in keeping Naruto here, so they just let him go.
There was already some snow on the streets, and apart from the winter sun's rays bringing a hint of warmth, the whole scene was cold. Even the streets were deserted, and there were far fewer pedestrians than before.
In some teahouses and restaurants I passed by, I heard people discussing the possible war.
The young men and boys were so excited that they wished they could go out and fight with the Hidden Cloud Village right now, while the middle-aged and elderly people were mostly cowering aside and sighing.
They are of different ages and seem to be from two different worlds, totally incompatible.
Seeing this scene, Naruto burst out laughing. People are like this, young people who have not experienced war look forward to war, and old people who have experienced war resist war.
Naruto glanced past them and strode towards the training grounds.
"Instead of talking so much, it is better to train more and improve your own strength, so as to have more hope of survival when the war comes."
"This is a world that relies on fists, not words."
Thinking of this, Naruto raised the back of his hand, summoned the character "Two", and contacted Sasuke.
His conversation with Sasuke was very simple, just "Come to training ground No. 28 to find me" and he ended it with an "ok".
After all, Sasuke is not a beauty. It's okay to chat with Bai, but what's the point of chatting with a grown boy like Sasuke?
Fifteen minutes later, Naruto arrived at Training Ground No. 28 alone in the heavy snow.
Perhaps it was because peace had lasted too long and it was just snowing. At this critical moment when war might be approaching, there was no one in Training Ground No. 28.
Naruto was surrounded by barren mountains, dead trees and falling snow, and the whole place was empty.
"That's good, so I don't have to cover up any more."
Most of Konoha's high-end power was taken away by Tsunade, and even the number of Chunins was reduced a lot. Now that they have separated from Sarutobi Hazuki, it is a good time to try new things.
After taking a quick look around and making sure that there was no one around, Naruto quietly walked into the dead woods, controlling his strength and walking slowly without leaving a trace.
After reaching a place he thought was secluded enough, he finally stopped.
After making some simple small mechanisms that triggered sounds around him, Naruto put his consciousness into the spiritual space and returned to the world that he controlled.
The weather in the space changes with Naruto's mood. It is a sunny day with gentle breeze.
I walked up the corridor of the teaching building and went to the third floor to find Class A of Grade 3. After opening the classroom door, I saw a huge crystal bead placed in the middle of the classroom.
This was the reward Naruto received for completing his last choice to defeat Kumogakure.
Human puppet!
He can summon a servant who is completely loyal to Naruto, but after Naruto tried it, he found that it cannot be operated in the mental space.
If not for this, Naruto wouldn't have waited until now to find an opportunity.
He placed his hand just above the bead and mobilized his mind, and the next second the bead returned to the real world with Naruto.
In less than a second, some snowflakes were stained on the beads.
[Whether to use snowflakes to fuse the human puppet. After fusion, the human puppet's ability will be related to snow. 】
"Do not use."
When he heard the prompt sound, Naruto directly refused.
He has his own ideas, and now he has a pair of three-magatama Sharingan, which can come in handy.
If the human puppet can open a kaleidoscope, then driving a Gundam in the future will be much more powerful than having abilities like wind or snow.
The next second, Naruto took out the only remaining pair of three-magatama Sharingan on his body without hesitation, and placed it gently on top of the bead.
[Whether to use the Sharingan to fuse the human puppet. The ability of the human puppet after fusion will be related to the Sharingan. 】
"Yes."
The next second, the Sharingan turned into mist, wrapped around the bead, and then was absorbed by the bead bit by bit.
After the mist was completely absorbed by the beads, there was a "crack" sound and dense cracks appeared around the beads.
It seemed as if something was about to break out of the bead.
At this time, the reminder sound rang again.
[Do you want to select the gender of the puppet? If not, it will be genderless. 】
Can I choose gender?
Naruto was a little surprised, and after thinking about it, he said without hesitation: "Female!"
[Do you want to select the age of the puppet? If not, it will be eighteen. ]
"Just eighteen!"
