The fifth generation of Konoha Village was booked by me

Jiraiya's heart really felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.

He really didn't expect that his tactics would be completely seen through by this young man.

And he really didn't understand the countermeasures adopted by this young man.

Could it be that after the young man realized what he was doing, he used a shadow clone to alternate, and his true body had already run to his side?

Jiraiya couldn't understand, but he only knew that he would definitely die if he continued like this!

"Bunta!"

Suddenly, Jiraiya roared angrily, and Bunta understood it and turned into a cloud of smoke in the air.

He didn't like some inexplicable guy running over him, but ninjas could stand firm with the help of chakra.

So the best way to help Jiraiya now is to leave!

If they leave here, Jiraiya and the brat will lose their foothold, and Jiraiya will be able to escape control during the fall.

Sure enough, the moment Bunta disappeared, Jiraiya immediately used the power of descent to quickly distance himself.

Natsuhiko didn't expect that Jiraiya actually planned to struggle. Normally, he would be quite happy to continue fighting with Jiraiya.

But the situation at this time did not allow him to continue messing around.

The ninja troops from Caoyin Village have already rushed over. Xia Yan really doesn't want to cause trouble. It will do him no good to make things too big.

Besides, he already got what he wanted, so there was no need to get entangled with them.

In addition, Jiraiya's sage mode showed less staying power than Natsuhiko remembered.

In fact, it's quite normal if you think about it carefully. Jiraiya's sage mode was revealed sixteen years later.

Sixteen years of growth is enough time to change a lot of things.

Now Jiraiya has not even summoned Fukasaku and Shima. I am afraid that he has not yet fully developed the sage mode.

"Although I am a little disappointed, I have experienced the power of the Sannin in this era."

Xia Yan thought silently, then he turned around in the air and stepped firmly on a tree, and then jumped to the ground.

Gamamaru's jump was really far enough, and he directly extended the explosion range and came to a relatively safe position, which allowed Xia Yan to land calmly.

But on the other hand, Jiraiya looked a little embarrassed. This guy's consumption was really too much.

Although he stepped firmly on the trees and landed on the ground, his movements were really not smooth at all.

"The consumption is too great. I really need more exercise in the immortal mode."

Landing firmly on the ground, Jiraiya gritted his teeth and quickly began to form seals.

By now, he had a general understanding of his opponent, which was that he was extremely fast and had mastered the Immortal Mode perfectly.

In addition, this kid is also good at some escape techniques and is surprisingly powerful.

From the current point of view, this boy does not have many weaknesses at all.

"Perhaps, overconfidence is a weakness."

Jiraiya thought to himself that he had completed the seal, and in his current state there was no way to escape simply by relying on speed.

But fortunately, he has another way, which is to use the technique of reverse channeling!

Through his own power, he can travel through space and return directly to Mount Miaomu from here.

"Wood Release: The Technique of Silent Killing and Binding!"

However, just when he was about to land his hands on the ground, countless wooden bars suddenly appeared around him, and these wooden bars were wrapping around him crazily!

Jiraiya didn't react in a hurry at all, or he himself was stunned at this time.

When he was entangled and bound by these wooden bars, he immediately found that the chakra in his body was being wildly withdrawn.

At the same time, there was a wooden bar that locked his neck, making him unable to speak at all!

"Mudun? How is that possible?"

Jiraiya felt his own situation in disbelief. He didn't expect that he would actually see Mu Dun in this place!

As Tsunade's companion, Jiraiya couldn't possibly not know what Wood Release was.

But after the First Hokage in Konoha, basically no one in Konoha had Wood Release.

No, there is another one, could it be...

"Jiraiya-sama, have you had enough trouble?"

Just as Jiraiya's heart was shaking, the silver-haired boy quietly appeared in front of Jiraiya like a ghost.

At this time, the wooden bar around Jiraiya's neck moved away very obediently.

"Is this Mudun?"

Jiraiya stared at Natsuhiko and said in a low voice.

"Also, the fact that you came directly to me before was not a shadow clone to lure the enemy, but that you were actually there, and you used the Flying Thunder God's Technique!"

"That's right."

Xia Yan smiled and nodded. He knew that Jiraiya probably knew who he was now, so he didn't pretend to be pretentious.

"Jiraiya-sama's analytical skills are really great. Does this mean you've seen through me?"

"As far as I know, there is only one person who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, Wood Release and Immortal Mode at the same time."

Jiraiya gritted his teeth and whispered: "That's the minister of Konoha's ANBU..."

Saying this, Jiraiya suddenly raised his head and stared at Natsuhiko.

At this time, the sun fell from the treetops and fell on Natsu Yan's body. Coupled with Natsu Yan's face that still maintained a smile, he really looked as sunny as Namikaze Minato.

And Jiraiya also said his name at this moment: "Senju Natsuhiko!"

"That's right." Natsuhiko smiled and nodded: "My Majesty, Senju Natsuhiko, please give me some advice from Jiraiya-sama."

Sure enough it was him!

After Jiraiya heard Xia Yan admit it personally, although he felt a little relaxed, there was no peace in his heart.

He had heard the name Senju Natsuhiko many times from Minato. He knew that this young man's strength was terrifying, and his scheming was also elusive.

But after today's release, he discovered that this strength was no longer just terrifying.

This young man can really only be described as incredible!

But Jiraiya still had too many questions, and these questions made him continue to stare at Xia Yan.

After a long while, he slowly asked: "Why? As the head of Konoha's ANBU, why would you do this?"

"Why?" Xia Yan tilted his head and looked at Jiraiya with a smile: "I wonder if Lord Jiraiya is talking about me not taking the initiative to reveal my identity, or something else?"

"No need to call me sir, I can't bear it."

Jiraiya struggled to stand up, but Natsuhiko's Wood Release still tied him tightly.

"Why did you attack Konoha's own people? Also, what kind of mission made you kill so much!"

"First of all, as the head of ANBU, I don't have to answer your question at all."

After Xia Yan heard Jiraiya's words, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, but he still smiled and said slowly.

"Although Lord Jiraiya is one of the three ninjas and the teacher of the Fourth Hokage, you have no right to interfere in ANBU matters.

Secondly, I would like to ask, Mr. Jiraiya, if there are subordinates who disobey the instructions of their superiors, thus delaying the execution of tasks.

So, do I have the power to deal with these subordinates? "

Having said this, Xia Yan paused slightly, and he knelt down and looked at Jiraiya.

The wooden bars wrapped around Jiraiya quickly receded at this moment, and Natsuhiko reached out and patted Jiraiya's shoulder gently.

But when he said the words, Jiraiya felt cold inside.

“Finally, I have one more question.

As a disciple of the Third Hokage, you took the initiative to attack the Konoha ANBU minister. What is your intention? "

.......

"Okay, let's say goodbye here."

In a small town close to Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, Jiraiya looked ahead and then turned to Natsuhiko and said.

Natsuhiko stood behind Jiraiya, and beside him was a woman with long red hair, holding a baby in her arms.

This mother and daughter are Xia Yan's harvest from this operation. They are the descendants of the Uzumaki clan that Xia Yan rescued from the underground laboratory.

In fact, when he first met this woman, Xia Yan was not sure whether he had found the right person.

However, after seeing the various wounds on the woman's arms and conducting a 'serious' review, he was sure that he had not found the wrong person.

But this approach also left a lot of sequelae, that is, this woman is still a little afraid when she sees Xia Yan.

Of course, it is not ruled out that she showed such an expression after seeing Xia Yan lightly turning the entire underground laboratory into a living hell.

This woman's name is Uzumaki Kosai, and the baby in her arms is Uzumaki Kosai.

She was one of the more unlucky ones. She originally lived a good life in the Country of Grass, but something unexpected happened during childbirth.

Such an accident was noticed by the ninjas of the Land of Grass, and her tragic life began.

Xia Yan was not in the mood to fully understand this woman's past, because it was most likely a tragic story.

But Xia Yan can be regarded as taking her out of the devil's cave. After all, life has to look forward.

Jiraiya also seemed a little silent after seeing this woman and learning her last name.

Obviously, he guessed what Xia Yan's mission was.

"Why don't you go back and have a look, Lord Jiraiya?" After hearing Jiraiya's words, Xia Yan couldn't help but turn his head and asked with a smile: "We are already here. Maybe we can meet your teacher when we go back."

"Ha, are you going back?" Jiraiya looked at Xia Yan's smile, and after listening to what he said, he couldn't help but shook his head: "I think it's better to forget it, I'm afraid it will only bring trouble if I go back, and you They might even throw me into jail."

Jiraiya really couldn't forget what Natsuhiko said to him before, and just one sentence made Jiraiya know how embarrassing his situation was.

As a disciple of the Third Hokage, he attacked the ANBU minister. Especially from Minato, he knew that the ANBU minister and the Third Hokage were not on good terms.

So it is conceivable that as long as the young man in front of him makes a slight move in this matter, his teacher will definitely not have an easy time!

Although Jiraiya had to admit that after spending the past few days with Natsu Yan, he found that Natsu Yan was indeed a very interesting person.

It has been several days since they left the Country of Grass, and they have been staying together these past few days.

In this kind of getting along, they will naturally communicate, and through communication, they will also have some basic understanding of each other.

From Jiraiya's point of view, the young man in front of him was rich in knowledge and kind-hearted - at least that's how it seemed.

And this boy also gave him a lot of suggestions about the sage mode. These suggestions were even more precious to Jiraiya!

After seeing Natsuhiko's sage mode, Jiraiya really felt that his sage mode was just a joke.

In addition to the long time it takes to enter the state, it doesn't last very long.

On the other hand, Xia Yan entered that state in just an instant.

Moreover, the combat power he displayed was also extremely terrifying, and it was unknown how many times it lasted compared to his own.

Natsuhiko is willing to help him, which can be said to be a great improvement for Jiraiya.

With this kind of friendship, and the contact these days, the image of Natsuhiko in Jiraiya's mind has become more and more plump.

He felt that Natsuhiko was a person who was responsible for the family's revival and went deep into the swamps in the upper levels of Konoha, slowly becoming what he is now.

Moreover, Xia Yan had already entered the ANBU at the age of eight, and his methods and style of conduct were naturally affected.

Under the pressure of the triple environment, no matter who he is, he will probably change, and Xia Yan is actually not a bad person at all!

Although Jiraiya knew that Natsuhiko would definitely use his own affairs to attack the Third Hokage after returning, he just couldn't get angry.

What's more in his heart is a kind of sadness, maybe it's the sadness that Konoha has become like this.

Or maybe he feels sad because of what Natsuhiko has become like and what he did in the Country of Grass before.

"Maybe, after all, you really affected my mission." Xia Yan spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "And throwing you into prison will definitely be good for me. There is a high probability that I will do this."

"You really have no intention of hiding anything." Jiraiya shook his head helplessly. He sighed slightly before continuing: "Although it is very frank, it is also very hurtful, so I don't dare to go back."

"Okay, I understand." Xia Yan nodded, he smiled and said: "Then, I can only wish Lord Jiraiya a safe journey."

"Natsu Yan-kun..." At this moment, Jiraiya suddenly opened his mouth slightly and called out to Natsu Yan, but soon he didn't seem to know what to say.

Natsuhiko turned his head and glanced at Jiraiya in confusion. He really didn't know what was going on with the teacher of the 'Son of Prophecy'.

But Xia Yan didn't say anything, but looked at him quietly.

Jiraiya seemed to hesitate for a long time before he sighed slightly and said, "Natsuhiko-kun, ninjas are not actually like this, and Konoha was not like this in the past. I..."

"I understand what you mean, Jiraiya-sama." Xia Yan interrupted Jiraiya with a smile before he could finish his words: "But Jiraiya-sama, you think too much about the whole world." It’s beautiful, but it’s too idealistic.”

"This world has never been beautiful, and I never thought about it that way." Jiraiya shook his head helplessly: "I just hope that this world will become beautiful, and I will take action."

"Then I can only wish Master Jiraiya success." Xia Yan nodded slightly, and then he became a little more serious: "But I actually don't agree with your ideas and actions."

Having said this, Xia Yan's expression became particularly serious. He understood what Jiraiya meant and knew more clearly what Jiraiya was thinking.

This guy wants to change himself. Such changes are not limited to what he does within Konoha, but also include what he does outside Konoha.

But Xia Yan didn't agree. Respect is one thing, but recognition is another.

"Jiraiya-sama, maybe we can have a good talk if there is time, but I don't think it is now." Natsuhiko said seriously: "But there is something that Jiraiya-sama needs to clarify."

"What's the matter?" Jiraiya raised his head slightly and asked with some difficulty.

"I have great respect for Jiraiya-sama's dreams and efforts, but..."

Natsuhiko stared at Jiraiya, and then spoke word by word.

"I do not agree with Jiraiya-sama's thoughts and actions, and I will not change my approach.

Whether inside Konoha or outside Konoha! "

.......

"You will live here temporarily from now on, and I will help you solve your identity problem, do you understand?"

In a residential area in Konoha Village, Natsuhiko calmly looked at the Uzumaki Kasai in front of him and said softly.

"I understand, sir." Uzumaki Xiangcai hugged the baby tightly in her arms. She nodded with some fear: "I will follow your words."

Xia Yan nodded. He could see this woman's distrust and fear of him, but he didn't take it too seriously.

I'm afraid this woman's distrust comes more from the fact that this is Konoha.

After all, she was forced to leave the Country of Uzumaki and wander around when she was a child. It was really thanks to Konoha.

After watching this woman enter the room, Xia Yan walked towards a corner in the distance.

In this corner, Senju Shoma stood quietly in the shadows.

"Elder." Xia Yan walked over and greeted Senju Xiangzhen.

If Uzumaki Kōsai and her daughter want to live in Konoha, in addition to going through inspection and monitoring by the village, they also need a place to live.

Natsuyan doesn't need to worry about the first question at all. As the ANBU minister, he still has great power.

At the same time, bringing Uzumaki Kōsai back was also approved by Sarutobi Hiruzen, not to mention the monitoring matters were the work of ANBU.

The second problem was solved by Senju Xiangzhen.

Konoha can actually allocate houses, but Natsuhiko has no intention of asking for those places.

Since he brought this woman back, he naturally couldn't let her fall into the hands of others.

"Is this woman from the Uzumaki clan?" Senju Xiangzhen didn't care that much. He asked directly: "She is a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, right?"

"Yes, a descendant of the Uzumaki clan." Xia Yan smiled and nodded: "The information from the Anbu and the matters in the capital of the Land of Fire were settled, so I went to bring her back."

"Well done!" Senju Xiangzhen was very happy: "Back then Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others..."

"Okay, elder." Xia Yan interrupted Senju Xiangzhen before he could finish his words: "I am not unfamiliar with the situation of the Uzumaki clan, and I also know how to deal with it, otherwise I would not keep her here. in front of me."

Senju Xiangzhen nodded slightly after hearing Xia Yan's words, and his excitement also cooled down slightly.

However, no matter how hard it cooled down, it could not extinguish the joy in his heart.

When the Kingdom of Water invaded the Kingdom of Whirlpool, Konoha did not choose to directly rescue them.

This also led to the Uzumaki clan, the best ally of the Senju clan, to enter the long river of history.

With the death of Mito Uzumaki, the Senju clan continued to weaken and became what it is today.

There is indeed an Uzumaki Kushina in Konoha, but that girl was taught and trained by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others since she was a child.

Essentially, she belongs to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side.

But the destruction of the Uzumaki clan also brought about a serious sequelae, that is, the choice of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

Now Xia Yan has brought back a woman from the Uzumaki clan, especially since this woman has a child.

As long as they are carefully cultivated, the future Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki will be theirs!

"With you here, the family has indeed changed a lot." Senju Xiangzhen sighed slightly, and then he smiled again: "By the way, this time you went out with Sarutobi Hiruzen, did you gain anything? ?”

"What's the harvest?" Xia Yan tilted his head, and a smile broke out on his face: "The harvest is huge, unimaginable, but there are some things that I can't say easily, and I hope the elders will understand."

Natsuhiko's gains this time were really great. If you look at it, not only did he and Hiruzen Sarutobi successfully blackmail money from the daimyo.

I also unexpectedly got the handle on Danzo, and the guy I don’t know whether he’s called Tenzo or Yamato.

After that, he went to recover the dragon veins, turning the little nine-tails from elementary to intermediate, and at the same time giving the little nine-tails chakra that can continue to grow.

And he himself also got part of the Dragon Vein Chakra. Even if he can't master it, it's still good for scaring people.

The most important thing is that he also used the nine-tails chakra mode, which can be regarded as adding an identity to himself for doing some bad things!

After that, he met Jiraiya when he arrived in the Country of Grass, and Jiraiya even attacked him.

The effect of this kind of thing is extraordinary.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi said that Jiraiya was unintentional, then as a high-ranking ninja in Konoha who didn't even know who his ANBU chief was, was he really a qualified Sannin of Konoha?

If Jiraiya did it on purpose, then Hiruzen Sarutobi would have been hit even harder!

However, it is indeed difficult to say many of these things, especially when Xia Yan has his own plans.

After all, there are many things involved, including the issue of Senju Hashirama's remains!

If this kind of thing comes to Senju Xiangma, Xia Yan will make sure that the old man can stay calm so as not to ruin his plan.

He doesn't want anyone to ruin his plan, no matter who he is!

"I understand, it's up to you to handle these matters." Qianju Xiangzhen actually knew that the ending would be like this, so he didn't force it: "I believe in you, Xia Yan, and I will believe in you from beginning to end."

"Don't be so absolute, especially about things like trust." Xia Yan shook his head slightly, then turned and left: "Then I'll leave first, I need to go back to the ANBU."

"Are you so busy? Why don't you go back after taking a break?"

"No, after all, there is a more interesting guy waiting for me among the ANBU..."

.....

"Mr. Minister, over here."

In the prison of the Third Anbu Brigade, Ye Cang led Xia Yan and walked quickly towards the interior of the prison.

The more interesting guy in Xia Yan's mouth was naturally Yamato who was captured by Xia Yan.

This kid has been imprisoned for almost half a month, and Xia Yan is now curious about how this kid is doing.

"Thank you, Ye Cang."

Although Xia Yan was still thinking about Yamato in his mind, he still nodded very kindly when faced with Ye Cang's guidance.

"By the way, you don't need to train today, right?"

"Yes, but now I am training while performing tasks."

Although Ye Cang was wearing a mask, he could hear a smile in her voice.

“Captain Kakashi is too busy right now, so he decided to involve me in the mission.

Performing tasks while training allows me to integrate into it faster. "

"So that's it." Xia Yan smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Kakashi is very tired, Natsuhiko knows that, in fact, not only Kakashi, but also the antelope and trout are also very tired at this time.

After all, Xia Yan's expansion of ANBU was left to them.

And whether it is for the power in their hands, or to repay the trust given by Xia Yan, they will do it seriously.

However, Xia Yan is not particularly anxious about this matter. In his opinion, it would be good if it could be completed within two years.

After all, cultivating talents is definitely not an easy task. Even if they get enough funds from the daimyo, this kind of thing will not be accomplished overnight.

Chatting all the way, Xia Yan soon came to the cell where Yamato was.

Looking at the kid inside who had his chakra sealed and sat there without any resistance, Xia Yan nodded silently.

"Then don't disturb the Minister." Ye Canghe said wisely: "I'm outside the cell. If anything happens, the Minister can call me directly."

"Thank you for your hard work." Xia Yan smiled, and then he watched Ye Cang leave.

I have to say that the changes in Ye Cang are still clearly visible. Perhaps the betrayal was too deep, or perhaps it was the emergence of the fanatical effect of converts.

Now she is very dedicated and serious, and Xia Yan is very satisfied with this state.

It is a pity that such a strong and capable woman died in such an inexplicable way due to a conspiracy.

Turning his head, Xia Yan looked at Yamato again. He raised the chakra with one hand and moved slightly, and the seal in Yamato's body was immediately restored.

As if he felt something, Yamato immediately turned his head to look, and he also saw the man who made him afraid!

The ANBU Minister was definitely the opponent that the Roots were least willing to face, and he was also the person he was least willing to face at this time.

He obtained the Wood Release due to some experiments, and the power of the Wood Release made him what he is now.

But when he faced the ANBU minister, he really felt the gap as big as the abyss.

His Mu Dun is really nothing compared to Xia Yan!

"Kid, do you still remember me?" Xia Yan looked at Yamato indifferently, and he did not deliberately maintain his gentle state at this time.

"Remember." Dahe hesitated for a moment, and finally followed Xia Yan's words. More than just remembering it, it is simply unforgettable!

"So, do you still remember how you obtained this power of wood escape?"

Xia Yan continued to ask, but he couldn't help but emphasize something when he thought of something.

"Now you'd better tell the truth and tell everything,

Only in this way can you have a chance to survive, and even more chance to save some people behind you. "

"I....."

Yamato hesitated for a moment, then he lowered his head and said calmly,

"I don't know what you are talking about. If you want to kill me, then just kill me. I..."

"You can't say anything, right?"

Natsuhiko interrupted Yamato, and he nodded calmly.

"I understand, but it's a pity that your struggle is of no use.

It was Orochimaru who conducted experiments on you, and it was Danzo who took you in and trained you, right? "

At this point, Xia Yan stopped. He looked at the kid in front of him meaningfully, but turned around and left.

In fact, he didn't even think about getting any answer from this kid, because he knew the answer completely.

He just wanted to see this kid's attitude, and then make some arrangements for this kid.

That's why he said this on purpose, to lure this kid to think this way.

Sure enough, when Xia Yan turned around, he clearly saw the kid's eyes twinkling slightly.

At this time, Yamato probably wanted to protect Danzo the most, and Natsuhiko's words gave him an idea and an opportunity.

It seems that just pushing all the problems to Orochimaru is enough?

However, what he didn't know was that Xia Yan wanted him to think this way and do this.

Natsuhiko's target is indeed on Orochimaru, but he is also on Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen!

.......

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi chewed his pipe and looked at Koharu Koharu and Mito Kaden who were standing in front of him.

At this time, smoke was lingering in the Hokage's office, and it could be seen that Sarutobi Hiruzen had smoked a lot.

But this environment seems more serious and depressing.

After a long while, Koharu sighed deeply and said, "Hiruzhan, we just finished solving the daimyo's problem. Is it really okay to turn around and deal with Danzo now?"

"He was able to do such a thing, and it was my fault." Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes slightly, and his tone sounded a little tired: "Let's deal with it this way."

"Duanzo has indeed gone too far this time, and has indeed gone beyond the limit." Mito Kadoyan also spoke at this time: "But, you don't even see him, so..."

"Should I see him?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly opened his eyes, and his majestic chakra exploded instantly.

"Why don't you ask him why he doesn't come to see me?

I gave him a chance, and I have always given him a chance, but this time he completely let me down, do you understand? "

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's ninja aura erupting in front of him, Koharu and Mito Kadobu couldn't help but close their mouths.

They could see that Sarutobi Hiruzen was really angry this time, and they also knew that Shimura Danzo was really going to be in trouble this time.

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen's order was to remove Danzo from all positions, including the root!

.......
