The Great Cultivator Comes to Konoha

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a pretty good week this week, although in the eyes of outsiders he was as busy as a dog all day long, and the amount of money on his desk was as high as several hills.

There's nothing we can do about it, after all, Kyuubi basically destroyed half of the village, so now everyone is busy rebuilding, but fortunately because of the miracle, no one was injured. Under the current situation, there are a lot of injured people in the hospital. , but none of the coffins entered.

I heard from Xiaochun's report that most of the patients in the hospital are running out. In order to find someone for examination, several patients had their legs broken and were forced to stay in the hospital.

Of course, these are some patients, and the majority are actually injured. Most of them drank too much because of the celebration, and then accidentally drank themselves into alcohol poisoning, or got themselves hurt because of having too much fun. Injured.

In fact, there are a bunch of reports produced by these guys who were forcibly brought back from the gate of hell. After all, they have really died once, so their mentality will inevitably have some changes.

However, although these reports made Hiruzen a little bit dumbfounded, and he even had to do a lot more work to regulate their celebrations, he did not feel disgusted by them.

After all, it is always better to have a happy event than a funeral. Hiruzen has actually done too many funerals in his life. It is not easy to do it once. Even if he is a little tired, he has nothing to complain about, and he is quite happy to do it. .

Of course, although they were generally very happy things, Hiruzen should be in a better mood now, but there were still a few things that gave him a huge headache.

The first is the financial problem of the village. Although Konoha did not lose anyone in this disaster, half of the village was still destroyed, and it would be quite expensive to repair it.

However, Hiruzen actually didn't pay much attention to this. After all, the village was not financially tight that year, and these issues were just trivial matters to this veteran who had been in charge of politics for decades.

The second point is that Danzo finally took away the special piece of bronze, but Xin Hao Hiruzen still pried a large amount of funds from his hands, and also took away several Danzo's belongings lying around him. Dark chess.

But Hiruzen had another fight with his good friend over this, and eventually the two broke up on bad terms again.

But this is not a big problem. Hiruzen will probably wait a few days for Danzo to calm down, and then he will come back to argue with him about his new clever plan.

The third point, and the third point that troubles Hiruzen the most, is that he is occupying the home of the Fourth Hokage at this time. He controls two Nine-Tails in his hands. He can be called a powerful man who can reverse life and death. Man, that young and old pervert who makes people extremely fearful and calls himself Yan Hao.

Although he was a little arbitrarily towards his savior, Yan Hao was too powerful and weird after all, not to mention that he also controlled two Kyuubi in his hands. Although Hiruzen estimated that Yan Hao could level the entire village of Konoha by himself, But his own weapon suddenly fell into the hands of a mysterious person who came from unknown sources, which really made Hiruzen uncomfortable.

But Hiruzen is a man with brains. Although he is very jealous of Yan Hao and even has a certain fear of his power, he will not be stupid and think that he can tease or plot against him. After all, Hiruzen is not a fool.

What's more, Yan Hao has an aura that seems to change endlessly. He can instantly change from the carefree and dissolute person of one generation to the decisive and thoughtful person of the second generation, and then to a deep and wise person like an immortal. Hiruzen completely wondered what Yan Hao was.

To him, Yan Hao seemed to be a bottomless abyss, an endless ocean, and a boundless sky. Yan Hao seemed to be an unreasonable existence, an ancient terror that transcended this world.

Hiruzen even noticed the terrifying look in Yan Hao's eyes, the one that looked at everything as ants, as if everything in front of him was just ordinary dust.

And Hiruzen knew that the look in his eyes was not the arrogance and arrogance of those strong men. Yan Hao's contempt was like an instinct, just like a person looking at ants on the ground. Yan Hao seemed to have reached an existence beyond the limits of human beings. A state comparable to that of a god.

But fortunately or unfortunately, Yan Hao's usually unconventional character dispelled Hiruzen's scruples, and his repeated spiritual behavior added a sense of humanity to him, perfectly covering up the transcendent essence of human beings. .

After all, Hiruzen's current headache is not that there is an ancient terror in the village, but that he is worried about the money that his unlucky subordinates lost because of an unscrupulous boy.

Even he, regardless of the ANBU, is now spreading a legend about a strange white shadow, saying that as soon as he sees this thing, he will immediately lose his money. Some people heard that they wanted to capture this shadow, but I heard that in the end they were all killed. He was beaten, and then he woke up and was stripped naked.

Although most of them were people who were tricked by Danzo, he didn't want to alarm Danzo too much. After all, he could see that Yan Hao had an unknown interest in his old teammate, so Hiruzen gritted his teeth and went to compensate losses to these people.

As for arguing with Yan Hao, or asking him to restrain himself, Hiruzen would rather fight the Kyuubi than go to Yan Hao.

And this was not because he was afraid, although Yan Hao was indeed scary, Hiruzen was afraid that he would be tortured to death by that stubborn old man who had a bad taste.

Therefore, Hiruzen would rather be tired and help Yan Hao wipe his ass behind him than go and talk to him. After all, his head was already aggravated by some chores in the village.

So he didn't care too much that some villagers started to build a golden body for a certain golden giant, because he knew that if those guys saw Yan Hao, their three views would definitely fall to the ground.

So Hiruzen decided not to muddy the waters of the mysterious outsider for the time being, and let Kakashi be tortured by him wherever he was, and no one would die anyway.

However, reality is always cruel and ruthless. Just as Hiruzen was rubbing his temples and having a headache about Yan Hao, suddenly the Hokage's office was pushed open, and then several jounin came in in a panic.

"What happened"

Hiruzen frowned when he saw the somewhat panicked look in those people's eyes, and an inexplicably familiar bad feeling arose in his heart again.

"Sandaime-sama... We found something strange not far from the village. It seems that someone was having a fierce fight somewhere..." The jounin quickly knelt down on one knee and reported, "And we may have discovered the powerful wood escape. Mark of."

"Trace of Wood Release..." Hiruzen repeated with a frown, and then someone's mean smile appeared in his mind.

"Yes my lord and I"

The jonin wanted to continue reporting, but was interrupted by Hiruzen who suddenly stood up.

"Let's go, take me to see the anomaly." Hiruzen said, then glanced at the people in front of him, and then ordered: "Also, this matter is already a secret of the village, and it must not be revealed to anyone."

"Yes"

0.0.0.0

Outside Konoha Village, the scene of the disaster,

When Hiruzen followed several Anbu to the scene of the incident, he was shocked by the scene.

What was originally just an ordinary forest clearing has now turned into a huge sinkhole, as if this place had gone through an epic battle and then been washed away by a tailed beast with tailed beast jade.

“What’s released here?”

At this time, an ANBU following Hiruzen whispered in a low voice, surprised by the sinkhole in front of him.

Hiruzen ignored the ANBU and just focused on the huge vines with tree roots spreading out from the pit.

Those green hemp-like plants that are thicker than tree stumps spread out from the inside of the sinkhole, and they seem to be twitching slightly from time to time. Their appearance is very confusing and scary.

If they could view this sinkhole from the sky, they might think that it was actually an ancient god who had resurfaced from the ground. Those green vines were like terrifying tentacles, ready to devour the unlucky creatures around them at any time. .

Moreover, everyone could feel that a heat wave seemed to be emitting from the tiankeng, making the temperature that was already approaching winter as warm as spring, and there seemed to be a refreshing smell of flowers and plants in the air.

Such a strange scene made the experienced elites behind Hiruzen feel uneasy and nervous. After all, they seemed unable to imagine what kind of person or creature could create such a scene.

Hiruzen just couldn't help but frown when he saw this, because he had seen a scene similar to this, where someone accidentally bombed his house not long ago.

Those unknown vines that were still crawling were very close to the plants that now filled the village's secret research room.

However, Hiruzen could feel some pain between these plants and those plants. These plants always exuded a dangerous atmosphere, making anyone who came close extremely uncomfortable. Even the slight squirming of the vines made people feel an inexplicable fear. He looked at it repeatedly. Over time it can lead to madness.

Seeing this, Hiruzen quickly raised his head and looked at the group of trees around the sinkhole, and then he was surprised to find that they all seemed to fall slightly outward, as if they had been blown down by a strong wind.

Seeing this, Hiruzen couldn't help but close his eyes and feel the warm climate around him again, and then he discovered that there seemed to be terrifying chakra fluctuations here, as well as a smell of natural energy that he was familiar with.

He was now able to determine who the culprit was here.

Although he was not surprised by this, after all, no one in the village could make such a big noise, but it made Hiruzen wonder who the chakra fluctuation was. After all, it was not the chakra of the Kyuubi, but Hiruzen Zhan Neng felt that this chakra aura belonged to at least a shadow-level expert.

This puzzled Hiruzen. After all, there were not many Kage-level ninjas. He knew everyone in Konoha, and most of the other villages had registered ones. Moreover, the village here was so close. Who was the unlucky guy to go with that dude? The gods are having trouble

Hiruzen looked at the vines and found that there seemed to be some weak fist prints and footprints on them, and there were even some burn marks. Although most of them were restored by the plant's powerful recovery ability, Hiruzen still looked at them. There was a slight flaw.

After continuing to look at it for a few more times, he finally sighed helplessly, shook his head helplessly, and then turned to look at the suspicious men behind him.

"Seal this place down for me. No one is allowed to come near this place, and don't touch those vines." Hiruzen waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes"

The ANBU did not question Hiruzen's decision, he just lowered his head and disappeared with a dodge technique.

Seeing this, Hiruzen nodded happily, then sighed, feeling his head hurt a little, and then used a dodge technique to rush to the Yondaime's house to find out what happened to Yan Hao here.
