Konoha: Who says that hunters can't play in the ninja world?

No one can survive being cut by dozens of wind blades. At least among ordinary ninjas, there is no ninjutsu that can defend against this kind of saturation firepower. You mean space ninjutsu? Uchiha Gundam? Lightning armor? Multiple Rashomons? Listen, what are you talking about? Is this a move that ordinary ninjas can perform?

Naruto only used Shadow Clone and C-level Wind Blade. Using S-level Ninjutsu to defend against C-level Ninjutsu, this is the protagonist's face. Of course, there is also the archer Hyuga Hinata, this girl who looks weak but actually has a very good temper. When everyone's attention is focused on the enemy, she can't shoot a cold arrow well.

The word "unexpected" is very suitable for Hinata who is good at using bows and arrows. She did not hide her figure, just standing in the crowd, the enemy would ignore her, not like Shino's low presence, but ignored, because she has no characteristics.

It just so happens that the bow and arrow, with the help of the Byakugan, is a very suitable means of attack, just like a sniper rifle with a scope.

Pointing and hitting is the most basic ability. In today's battle against the Root, no one said Hinata was useless, in fact, his contribution was the greatest. Vision burst, deadly cold arrows. There were more than ten elites in the Root, and Hinata killed three by herself. The others, together, killed the remaining seven.

Under the command of Kazama and Shikamaru, the Root was constantly pierced, divided, and then surrounded and annihilated, and the Root was destroyed.

The battles that followed had kept everyone on edge, and now that the battle was finally over, they realized that their bodies were almost exhausted. Especially Naruto, who was a big mana consumer. Ninjutsu bombing was very enjoyable, and it was all built up with chakra. Now he relaxed. He almost rolled his eyes, and sat down on the ground, with only the strength left to breathe heavily.

"We don't have time to rest. We must hurry and bring Sasuke back as soon as possible." Shikamaru was not as optimistic as before. The continuous battles made him realize that there seemed to be several forces targeting them. Orochimaru? Hidden forces in the village? What if there were more people who wanted to steal the secret technique or blood limit?

Shikamaru didn't dare to think about it. These were all his companions, and they were also direct descendants of various families in Konoha, or geniuses. If any one of them was missing, Shikamaru felt that he might feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"I shouldn't have accepted this mission in the first place. Wasn't this mission given to Brother Kazama? How did it become me?" Shikamaru's mind was full of random thoughts.

"It's important to return to the village as soon as possible and complete the mission." Shikamaru made a decision.

"There is no time to rest. We must leave immediately. The noise of our fight will definitely attract more people to come and check it out. If they are targeted, we will be in trouble. In our current state, how many times can we fight?"

"Choji, carry Naruto on your back, Ichiro, carry Nobuko on your back, we will move immediately." Kazama agreed with Shikamaru's idea. Even though this is a forest, the sound of the battle is actually very conspicuous. Don't say that there are no enemies in Konoha. There are so many mountain bandits, wandering ninjas, and bounty hunters. Which one is not a desperate criminal who licks blood on the edge of a knife? Aren't they the yen in their eyes?

"Let's go." Even though they were extremely tired, no one objected. Shikamaru was right. Or rather, even if they wanted to object, Shikamaru's prestige had gradually been established after these few battles, and no one would openly refute Shikamaru again.

Konoha Village, at the end of the central street, the Hokage Building, the Hokage's office.

Tsunade, with beige hair and a plump and gorgeous figure, crossed her arms across her chest and looked at the embarrassed cockroaches in front of her with a serious expression.

They looked disheveled, tired, and calm, yet showed a sense of vigilance and solemnity after the war. It seemed that these children had been through a lot of fighting.

"Grandma Tsunade, how is Sasuke?" Naruto was carried all the way back by Choji. After a good sleep, Naruto became the most energetic one among everyone.

"It has been handed over to the Sealing Class. They are studying the strange seal on the barrel. You don't have to worry. When it comes to sealing techniques, Konoha Village is the most complete." Tsunade changed the subject, "What about you? What kind of enemy made you so embarrassed?"

"They are Orochimaru's men, and some unknown ninjas from the village."

"Hmm~" Tsunade frowned. He could understand Orochimaru's subordinates, but for unknown village ninjas, Tsunade felt that this question was not suitable for public discussion. "You go and rest first, Shikamaru, Kazama stay."

"What unknown village ninja?"

"He was wearing an Anbu mask and a Konoha forehead protector, probably to hide his identity, and he claimed to be following your orders." Shikamaru told him everything he knew.

"How did you figure it out?"

"If they were sent by the Hokage, they must know the content of our mission and the identities of our group. Why would they shout and kill as soon as they meet? Moreover, since they were following your orders, why would they ambush us on our way back?"

"Ha, this is really the style of the Nara family. They analyze everything clearly. Okay, you two can go. This mission is considered an A-level mission for you. Go and collect your rewards."

After Shikamaru and Kazama left the room, Tsunade punched the table, smashing a corner of it, and gnashed her teeth: "Danzo, is it you again?" Although she became the Hokage, Tsunade still disliked the few old immortals in the village. Unfortunately, she had never found a reason to dismiss them, so she kept delaying.

Danzo's little move this time made Tsunade determined to eliminate Danzo.

Having seen Konoha under the rule of the Second Hokage and the Konoha in the prime of the Third Hokage's life, the current Konoha is like a big tree that is rotten inside. It looks green and lush, but in fact it has long been rotten and is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

To what extent did the old teacher indulge Danzo and the Elders to weaken Konoha to this extent?

A plan to collapse Konoha actually left Konoha with no one available, and sent a few Genin to face Orochimaru's men. Tsunade already felt that she was an unqualified Hokage.

"Hokage-sama..." Shizune was trembling with fear on the side. Tsunade was still very scary when she got angry.

"It seems that we have to take action. If this goes on, the Konoha Village founded by my great-grandfather and second grandfather will collapse at any time. If there is another Konoha collapse plan, will Konoha be finished? No, I will never allow it. But what should we do?" Tsunade looked out the window. Only when she became the Hokage did she know how difficult it is to manage a village.

I can understand that older teachers are unable to do the job, but I cannot agree with them.

Since it is destined to change, let me start with it. I can't just let the Konoha carriage go into the mud and be content with the status quo like my teacher. How should I start?

Tsunade is not lacking in political wisdom, but the current situation in Konoha is complicated. There are various interests and power struggles between the Hokage and the Elders, between the Hokage and the major families, and between the ninja clan and the civilians. She wants to change Konoha, but she doesn't want Konoha to really collapse. This requires very precise vision and means to get it right.

"Shizune, tell Jiraiya to come back to the village." Tsunade was silent for a long time before giving the order.
