Chapter 67 Main Mission 4: Prepare to Welcome Grandma
After delivering the eye drops via Kamui Express, Shinyan interviewed Rock Lee who had fully recovered. Rock Lee's interview was the same as that with Might Guy, with every answer revealing youth and vigor.
"I want to prove that one can become an excellent ninja without knowing ninjutsu and illusion." Rock Lee said finally.
Shingon printed the interviews between Rock Lee and Shikamaru Nara into a newspaper and put it in the milk tea shop.
The shadow clone couldn't help but complain when he saw Shingen, because the last time the shadow clone sent Naruto and others back to Konoha was destroyed by Tsuna's Diamond Finger.
"Our shadow clones are very fragile. Don't let us meet Lord Hokage next time." The shadow clone said to Shingon.
"Then let's pray together for the next main mission so that we don't have to trouble Sister Tsunade who is so busy with all kinds of things." Zhenyan said and prayed first.
The main mission 3 was completed, leaving a 10% deviation rate, and Zhenyan entered the main mission 4.
[Main Mission 4: New Team 7 explores the snake cave.]
Seeing the new main mission, Shinyan couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows. If his understanding was correct, this main mission seemed to be another ninja team mission that needed the Hokage's approval...
Zhenyan felt that he needed to slow down and figure out the situation first.
This time he performed another time jump.
The time point is now two years later. During these two years, Sasuke has been training with Orochimaru, and has upgraded his Sharingan to three magatama by absorbing Yin-attribute chakra.
According to Orochimaru, it won't be long before Sasuke's Sharingan will be upgraded again, but it is still uncertain whether Sasuke's Sharingan will be upgraded to four magatama like the Mangon or to a Mangekyo.
As for Konoha, the main reform was made to the Ninja School. Currently, the Ninja School has added a junior high school department and some new courses.
Jiraiya is fully responsible for this school reform. In addition to being the principal and handling school affairs, Jiraiya is also teaching Naruto how to practice, including the summoning technique that caused Shingon to feel pain in his fingers.
Of course, during these two years, Jiraiya and Naruto did not always stay in Konoha peacefully. After knowing the location of Orochimaru's base, the two of them visited from time to time.
Jiraiya wanted to see what Orochimaru was going to do, while Naruto went purely to spar with Sasuke.
Naruto and Sasuke had their competitions, with wins and losses. When Naruto won, he invited Sasuke to return to Konoha for training, and said that if Sasuke didn't go back, Team 7 would have to have new members joining.
Before Sasuke came to Orochimaru's base, he did have doubts about Orochimaru, but after two years of getting along with him, Sasuke has recognized Orochimaru's abilities.
Orochimaru not only researched a way to upgrade the Sharingan, but also developed a training plan for him based on his situation, which greatly improved his strength.
All in all, Sasuke was quite satisfied with his study abroad life and did not consider going back.
As for the new members joining Team 7 and his position being replaced, Sasuke didn't care.
The reason why there are new members in Team 7 is because ninjas usually perform missions in teams of three. This is the most efficient way of combination that has been practiced in the development of the ninja profession. If Team 7 is missing one person, there will be many inconveniences in performing missions.
In addition to Sasuke, the team leader of Team 7 was also replaced by Yamato. Because of the reform of the ninja school, Kakashi was invited by Jiraiya to help.
In addition, Sakura Haruno from Team 7 has also undergone significant changes. She has become Tsunade's apprentice and is currently learning medical ninjutsu from him.
After understanding the current situation, Zhenyan also figured out what the "New Team 7" in the main mission meant.
The new Team 7 is exploring the snake cave. Zhenyan feels a headache when he thinks about the content of this mission. He decides to browse the forum first to take a break.
I don't know how the time ratio between the spiritual world and the three-dimensional world is calculated, but when Zhenyan appeared on the forum, I found that the comics had been updated a lot.
Shingon roughly scanned it and found that the new comic mainly talked about the reform of the ninja school after the fifth Hokage took office. There was no black shadow in this part of the comic, but in the conversation between Tsunade and Jiraiya, it was mentioned that the person who proposed the reform of the ninja school was not a ninja.
The following comics will focus on the relationship between Tsuna and the first Hokage, as well as the reform of the ninja school, leading to the history of the founding of Konoha village and school.
The part about building the village and school is a special chapter, which mainly tells the story of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, that is, the story that Hashirama Senju told Shingon and others when they were at Orochimaru's base.
The special episode ends and the story returns to the main plot, explaining Naruto and Sasuke's training in the village and Orochimaru's base respectively.
Zhenyan didn't read the comic carefully, but focused on the comments below.
[Looking at this school reform, it feels like Konoha is about to enter the modern era]
[The person who proposed the reform should be the character that Jiraiya and Tsuna mentioned last time]
[Last time I thought a new character was going to appear, but there was no screen]
[I feel like I am just a tool]
[Toolman+1]
[Maybe a later character]
[I think this special episode is very good. Madara-sama and Hashirama are so domineering!]
[I didn’t expect that the village was built by Uchiha and Senju together]
[When the village was built, if Madara was made Hokage, there would not be so many troubles later]
[I agree with what was said before. Hashirama saw through everything, so he wanted Madara to be the Hokage. Unfortunately, Madara was misunderstood.]
[It’s hard not to be misunderstood if you run away from home]
[To be honest, Sasuke did not run away from home because Snake had the core technology.]
[I also think that Snake treats Sasuke well]
[Looking at the shadow this way is also a good thing]
[Wake up, Orochimaru is coveting Sasuke's body!]
[I agree. How could Black Shadow do good things? He might have secretly taken advantage of Orochimaru and sent Sasuke over.]
[After opening the Mangekyō, Orochimaru can't beat Sasuke]
[Orochimaru will take over Sasuke's body before Sasuke opens his Mangekyō]
[Isn't Sasuke in danger?]
[Naruto, please bring Sasuke back quickly]
[The one two years ago was the most likely, but unfortunately Naruto failed]
[If Naruto had used Nine-Tails Mode at that time, he might have succeeded.]
[There are limitations to Nine-Tails mode, right? When Naruto and Gaara were fighting, the Nine-Tails and One-Tails were gone in less than two minutes after they appeared.]
[I think it’s because he’s not experienced enough. Hasn’t Naruto continued to practice in the past two years?]
[Narrator trained in Konoha, and eight out of ten times he was thinking about bringing Sasuke back]
[Sasuke is the driving force behind Naruto's growth]
[We have become traitors now, there is no going back]
[Uchiha's ancestral rebellion]
[I always feel that the ending of Hashirama and Madara is hinting at Naruto and Sasuke]
[Naruto is the protagonist, he will definitely bring Sasuke back!]
[Yes, Sasuke is just going to study abroad and will return to the village later.] Shingon logged into his guest account and left a comment of agreement.
[The tourist brother appears again]
[Brother Tourist, are you not going to speak for Black Shadow today?]
[Maybe he found that the black shadow can’t be washed away]
[Didn’t someone tell me before that the black shadow is doing good things?] Zhenyan replied.
[…………]
[Someone said earlier that Black Shadow took advantage of Orochimaru and gave Sasuke to him.]
[That's true.] Shingon continued to reply, he asked Orochimaru to help him research the Sharingan, and it was true that he took advantage of Orochimaru, and it was also true that he sent Sasuke to Orochimaru to learn.
[Brother Tourist, you are not drunk today, are you?]
[It's hard not to agree that a good person would take advantage of Orochimaru?]
[Isn't it contradictory to take advantage of others and do good things at the same time?] This is the fact, and Zhenyan feels that what he said is absolutely correct.
However, the following comment section was filled with a row of silent ellipsis marks.
[……]
[ . . . . . ]
[If Black Shadow really wants to do good things, he should just send Naruto over there as well and let him bring Sasuke back.] Someone couldn't bear to watch and replied.
[Totally agree. If Black Shadow wants to do good things, he should let Naruto and Sasuke meet.]
[What, it can’t be done?]
Mantra: “…………”
Zhenyan never thought that when he went to the forum, there were comic readers urging him to complete the system task...
How can I not do it?
Shingon quit the forum. He decided to meet Naruto and Sasuke first, and after making arrangements with both parties, he would go to the Hokage to get the mission. This should not be considered as causing trouble for the busy Hokage, right?
Zhenyan made a plan and prepared to go out, but as soon as he opened the door, he met a person outside.
Zhenyan blinked, and after she came to her senses, she asked, "Sister Jingyin, what are you doing here?"
Jingyin didn't expect Zhenyan to come out so suddenly. She was stunned for a moment before she said, "Master Tsunade wants to see you."
"See me? Now?" Zhenyan didn't expect Gangshou to see him at this time. He hasn't arranged the mission yet.
Shizune nodded and led the way towards the Hokage building.
Seeing this, Zhenyan had no choice but to follow. On the way, he couldn't help but ask, "Did Sister Tsunade say what it was about?"
Shizune thought for a moment and whispered, "Master Tsunade doesn't seem very happy."
Mantra: “…………”
Who had angered the Hokage in front of him? How could he give the new Team 7 a mission?
Shingon came to the Hokage's office, and just as Shizune said, Tsuna was staring at the documents on the table with a frown, and he seemed to be troubled.
"Master Tsunade." Jingyin spoke, quietly reminding that someone had arrived.
Tsuna looked up, and Zhenyan immediately spoke in a friendly manner: "Sister Tsuna, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Gangshou didn't say anything, but waved his hand and asked Zhenyan to come over.
Zhenyan was a little hesitant, but under Gangshou's gaze, he still walked over.
Gangshou motioned Zhenyan to look at the information on the table.
Zhenyan looked over and saw a ninja registration form on the table.
"Sai?" Shingon read out the ninja's name on the registration form. He didn't understand why Tsunade showed him this.
Tsuna seemed to see the confusion in Zhenyan's eyes and explained, "This is a member of the root."
Genbu? Since Genbu was expelled from the Ministry of Commerce, Zhenyan has not heard any news about Genbu for a long time.
"He is also a new member of Team 7." Tsuna continued. "Ah?" Zhenyan couldn't help but be surprised. He knew that Team 7 would have new members, but he didn't expect that the new members were members of the Root.
"Why would people from the Root join Team 7?" Shingon asked.
Because of Danzo Shimura, Shingon doesn't have a very good impression of the Root. He doesn't understand why people from the Root were allowed to join Team 7.
It was naturally Danzo Shimura's arrangement for the Root members to join Team 7. In the past two years, due to the death of the Third Hokage, Danzo Shimura and the Root, which had been dormant, became active again.
Shimura Danzo did this because he was unwilling to give in.
At that time, the Second Hokage took their six disciples on a mission, but they were surrounded by the enemy. The Second Hokage asked who would be left behind. Danzo Shimura hesitated and was overtaken by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
As a result, the Second Hokage passed the position of Hokage to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Danzo Shimura believed that it was his own hesitation that caused him to lose the position of Hokage. For so many years, he has never resigned himself to this fact. What happened back then took root in his heart like a demon, corroding his original intention bit by bit.
In order to become Hokage, Danzo Shimura became unscrupulous and made many unforgivable mistakes.
This time, Danzo Shimura regrouped and brought together the two elders, Koharu Utane and Enmi Mitokado, to put pressure on Tsunayoshi and arrange Sai into Team 7.
Sasuke's study abroad mission was a secret one, and this matter involved many things. Tsunade did not reveal this matter to the village elders who were not on the same page with her.
Therefore, Danzo Shimura was not aware of Sasuke's undercover work. He arranged Sai to join Team 7 because the Root noticed that Naruto and Jiraiya often traveled back and forth between Sound Village.
Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru had cooperated before. This time Danzo Shimura came out again and he wanted to win over Orochimaru.
Danzo Shimura wanted to use Orochimaru to do some things that were inconvenient for him, so he arranged Sai into Team 7. He wanted Sai to use the convenience of Team 7 to get close to Orochimaru.
Tsuna didn't know what Shimura Danzo was planning, but she had a hunch that he had something in mind.
The one related to Team 7 is Sasuke who went undercover for Orochimaru. In order to verify his guess and catch the fish, Tsuna said to Shingon: "I will give Team 7 a mission to investigate the Sound Village. When the time comes, you will go to the Sound Village in advance to keep an eye on Orochimaru."
Although Orochimaru has not done anything out of line in the past two years, Tsunade is still worried. She is afraid that Orochimaru will make a deal with Danzo Shimura and do something that is detrimental to Konoha.
After Gangshou finished speaking, there was no response for a long time. She looked up and saw Zhenyan was a little dazed.
"What? Are you unhappy?" Tsunayoshi suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"With pleasure! I'm very happy to do so!" Zhenyan expressed his opinion immediately, fearing that the planner would take back the task if he was too late.
"Please leave this matter to me!" Zhenyan patted his chest and promised, "I will definitely get it done!"
Zhenyan's performance made Tsunade suspicious. She stared at Zhenyan and asked, "What are you planning?"
"No." Zhenyan shook her head repeatedly, her expression very sincere, "I just want to share the work with Sister Tsunade."
Tsunade stared at Zhenyan again and said, "Besides causing trouble, you also know how to take the initiative to share the work?"
"Sister Tsunade, you can leave similar work to me in the future." Zhenyan's tone was very sincere. This way, he wouldn't have to take the initiative to ask for system tasks in the future. This was a win-win situation.
Gangshou snorted twice, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, but she quickly straightened them. She waved at Zhenyan and said, "Go."
Zhenyan also smiled and waved, "Goodbye, Sister Tsuna."
"What happy thing happened to this kid today?" After Zhenyan left, Gangshou asked Jingyin.
Jingyin thought about it and realized that Zhenyan was very nervous before coming here, but became happy after receiving the mission...
"You're probably happy because the substitute-sama has shared the work with you," Shizune said.
Tsuna's fingers tapped the table unconsciously. She smiled and said, "This kid is sensible."
On the other hand, Shingon happily accepted the mission. He was not in a hurry to go to Oto Village, but met Naruto first.
"Brother Shingon!" Naruto came over and greeted Shingon enthusiastically as usual.
Zhenyan stumbled back several steps before he regained his balance. He looked at Mingren in front of him and was stunned for a moment, because Mingren had grown taller and was almost as tall as him...
Although Zhenyan never thought he could grow to 1.8 meters tall, he never thought he would be caught up by his younger brother so soon...
"Kakashi, what have you fed Naruto to eat in the past two years?" Shingon couldn't help but ask.
Kakashi glanced over and said, "The same thing you eat."
Shingon was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered that after Sasuke left, he had come to eat at Kakashi's table almost every day for convenience...
"But why haven't I grown taller?" Zhenyan asked. Since we eat the same food, why is it that only Mingren grows taller?
Kakashi stared at Shingon's face. In the past two years, not only had Shingon's height not changed, but his appearance had not changed either.
Zhenyan touched his face subconsciously and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Maybe your situation is special." Kakashi said. He already knew that Shingon was also half Senju, and the current Fifth Hokage was also from the Senju clan, and was also one of the Three Ninjas. However, the Fifth Hokage looked younger than the other two.
After hearing what Kakashi said, Shingon remembered another thing. He remembered that Black Zetsu had told him that after becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, his physical condition would be maintained at its best.
Zhenyan walked to the mirror and looked at himself. He found that he was exactly the same as he was two years ago.
Zhenyan was not very satisfied. Although being young was good, he wanted to be more dignified.
"Oh." Zhenyan couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Zhenyan, what's wrong with you?" Mingren noticed that Zhenyan was not in a good mood and couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Zhenyan is thinking about grandma." Zhenyan said.
Shingon wants to hand over the Ten-Tails to his grandmother as soon as possible, hoping that by then, his height will be able to increase again...
"Ah?" Naruto was a little surprised, "Does Brother Zhenyan still have a great-grandmother?"
Shingen nodded, and he suddenly remembered the content in the special comic. The Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan are distant relatives, which means that the Uzumaki clan is also the descendant of Otsutsuki Kaguya.
So Ming people also have great-grandmothers.
Shingo reached out, wanting to touch Naruto's head like when they were little, but ended up just patting Naruto's shoulder...
"The Ming people also have great-grandmothers." Zhenyan said.
"Where is grandma?" Naruto was confused as to why he had never heard of her before.
"On the moon." Zhenyan said, "If Mingren misses his grandmother, just look at the moon."
Naruto's face wrinkled, but his trust in Shingon made him nod as if he understood.
"Does Kakashi-sensei also have a great-grandmother?" Naruto asked again.
Shingon looked at Kakashi and said, "Hatake" should not be the descendant of Otsutsuki, but Kakashi's situation is special. Kakashi has the Sharingan shared with Obito.
"Kakashi has the Uchiha's Sharingan, so he can share the Uchiha's ancestor." Shingon finally said.
Kakashi: “…………”
When talking about his great-grandmother this time, Zhenyan suddenly realized that his great-grandmother seemed to have quite a lot of descendants. He knew of several families. If his great-grandmother were to be resurrected in the future, he didn't know if he would be able to recognize her.
When he has time, Zhenyan decides to ask Heijue for a list and compile a family tree so that he can identify people according to the family tree after his grandmother is resurrected.
There is also Hei Zetsu who never forgot his original intention for a thousand years just to rescue his mother who was sealed on the moon. Such a touching deed is also worthy of praise, but the identity of the alien is not easy to make public.
Zhenyan thought about it and felt that identity was not a problem and it could be adapted. After all, the main purpose of the story was to convey spirit.
Shingon decided to serialize a ninja version of the "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" story in the Ninja News, paving the way for the return of the grandmother. !
