Seeing Xiao Yin falling into a deep sleep, Tonero and Lingxiang, who had been busy all night, breathed a long sigh of relief.
The chakra belonging to the Eight-Tails has been completely integrated into Xiao Gin's cells.
However, because it takes some time for the cells to accept and tolerate it, Xiaoyin must have had to fall into a deep sleep.
But after the chakra was completely injected, a thin tailed beast coat could be seen forming on the surface of Xiao Gin's body.
The only difference from Little Blue is that after Little Silver is integrated into the Eight-Tails Chakra, when the Eight-Tails Chakra is active, its tail will turn into an octopus tentacle tail like the Eight-Tails Tail.
This will reduce its appearance, but essentially the impact is not significant.
After dealing with these things, Sheren can finally take a good rest.
"In this way, the four big-faced beasts, Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, are gathered together. If there is a chance in the future, it is best to deal with the other tailed beasts."
...
After that, life became regular again.
Mission, hospital, Orochimaru's laboratory, his own laboratory and training with Matt Dai.
Basically just these things.
The friction between the hidden villages in the entire ninja world has also become much smaller, and it looks like the ninja world has returned to peace again.
But it only looks calm. Under this surface calm, what is suppressed is the restless heart of the hidden villages.
Ordinary civilians may not be able to sense this, but as long as ninjas are strong enough to a certain extent, they can more or less vaguely perceive some abnormalities in the calm.
The whole of Konoha also looks very peaceful.
But recently, there has been a storm that Shiren has to pay attention to. It was born invisibly and has a tendency to become more and more intense.
That is the candidate for the Fourth Hokage!
After the ninja world seemed to be calm, of course some people began to consider the future of Konoha, whether they started to think about it because they were really concerned about the future of Konoha, or there were people behind it who were adding fuel to the fire.
In short, this topic has become the main topic after tea and dinner for many Konoha residents and even ninjas.
As for the candidates for the Fourth Hokage, in the eyes of many Konoha residents, only three people are qualified.
The one with the highest voice is Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumoge, who gained fame in the Second Ninja War. His strength is definitely recognized by most Konoha ninjas, and many people believe that only people with this level of strength can
Only when someone becomes Hokage can they feel at ease.
And now Hatake Sakumo is the head of Konoha's ANBU, so there is no doubt that the connection between his positions is perfect.
The one with the second highest voice was Orochimaru, the most talented among the three disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, may not have as much strength and prestige as White Fang, but his status as a disciple of the Third Hokage adds a lot of points, which is one of the main reasons why people think he is a strong competitor of White Fang.
What made Toneri feel that something was wrong with the situation was that during this period, Orochimaru, who was originally at a clear disadvantage, became increasingly vocal, as if a large number of supporters appeared overnight.
It was this abnormal change that made him feel that someone was behind it.
As for the third candidate, he is also Jiraiya, a disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
However, it feels more like he is just here to make up the numbers. People are just discussing Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo, and mentioning his name by the way, but there are not many supporters.
Jiraiya himself is not very interested in the position of Hokage, and he is also relatively casual.
I always felt that others brought him up just to give him the title of Sannin, not that he could really compete with Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru for the position of Hokage.
Regarding the current situation in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the third Hokage, has no way to stop it.
It is an indisputable fact that he is getting older and his strength is weakening day by day. In order to prevent others from thinking that he is unwilling to step down and give way to others in order to remain in the position of Hokage, he will be unable to stop such a public opinion storm.
Fortunately, these things are only within Konoha now, and only in the mouths of everyone.
He can still be the Hokage for a few more years, but now it's just more of a verbal discussion.
Orochimaru's laboratory.
"Teacher Orochimaru, how do you feel about becoming Hokage? From now on, I will be a legitimate disciple of Hokage, and my status in Konoha will also rise." Toneri said to Orochimaru with a hint of ridicule.
At present, there are probably only one person in Konoha who can speak to Orochimaru in this tone with more than one hand, and Toneri is one of them.
Orochimaru's expression remained unchanged, he just glanced at Toneri lightly and said, "Hokage, I'm not just talking."
To be honest, Orochimaru doesn't care very much about the position of Hokage. If he can do it, it is of course the best. All the techniques in Konoha, whether they are forbidden techniques or secret techniques, can be browsed by him at will.
, and sometimes you don’t have to be so timid when doing some taboo experiments.
But on the other hand, becoming Hokage is not all a good thing. You have to waste a lot of time every day to deal with things, and you have to shoulder the burden of the entire Konoha to move forward, which is a very big responsibility.
Therefore, advantages and disadvantages coexist, which leads to Orochimaru not being very pursuing Naruto, and of course, he is not exclusive.
Toneri estimated that Hatake Sakumo may have the same mentality now.
"It's great to be Hokage. You can see many forbidden and secret techniques. If you can learn them all, your strength will probably improve a lot."
"Forbidden and secret arts are so easy to learn?
Some forbidden techniques have extremely high requirements, and some can even change a person's status, appearance and even race. If you are not sure that they are really suitable for you, you will not learn as much as possible about these things.
If you can do everything, why not just specialize in one?"
Just like the art of Flying Thunder God.
Shiren answered silently in his heart.
"Recently, I can clearly feel that there are people behind Konoha who are adding fuel to the flames, so don't take what some people say for granted." Orochimaru said again.
With Orochimaru's ability, he could certainly see what was behind this incident, so he had a good attitude and just focused on research.
After hearing Orochimaru's words, Toneri was certain of one thing.
That was what was behind this incident. Orochimaru was not involved. Someone else was operating it.
As for the entire Konoha, the only one who has such great energy and can change the direction of public opinion, apart from Sarutobi Hiruzen, is Danzo who has been shrinking for a long time.
This is a conspirator.
However, Toneri did not exclude Sarutobi Hiruzen.
To be honest, many of the things Danzo has done, if it weren't for Sarutobi Hiruzen's tacit approval, he wouldn't be able to do it to this extent.
Do you really think he is the one who controls the sky in Konoha?
The Hokage is the real ruler of Konoha, okay?
To put it in one sentence, for Danzo to have the power and status he has now, no one here is innocent.
Maybe Hiruzen Sarutobi had the intention of letting Orochimaru succeed him as Hokage, and acquiesced to his behavior.
The two continued to study and talk more on this topic, but Toneri finally confirmed Orochimaru's attitude.
...
The next day.
Today's day is quite special. It's a rare day that Matt Dai doesn't drag Shiren into crazy training.
Because, today is the first day of school for Konoha Ninja School!
A new batch of students will enter the ninja school for six years to learn how to become a ninja.
And Matt Dai also took his son, Metkai of Watermelon Taro, to enroll in the ninja school.
As friends who have been together for many years, Sheren has had several contacts with Metkai. Under the influence of his father, Metdai, Kai has developed a good mentality of refusing to admit defeat, training hard, and sticking to his heart since he was a child.
So for Metkai, who seems a bit silly and seems to be a very ordinary person, I have a good impression of him.
Who doesn't like a person who works hard?
What's more, Kaihuang, who almost kicked out the finale, is simply an inspirational role model.
"Hey! I didn't expect you to come here, Toneri, to watch today's entrance ceremony?"
Matt Dai was waiting for the door to open at the school gate. When he saw Toneri walking leisurely and greeting many people along the way, he gave a thumbs up and showed his white and reflective expression that he didn't know how to do.
Shiny teeth.
The current Toneri is quite famous in Konoha, not only because of his status as a disciple of Orochimaru and a special Jonin, but also because he is famous throughout the Fire Country, the owner of the Konoha Cattery, and the "famous" Konoha Hospital.
doctor.
There is a saying that goes well, if you have not been saved by Toneri's medical ninjutsu, you must have bought a cat from Toneri's cattery. At the very least, you must have gone to the cattery to pet a cat!
Toneri's medical ninjutsu master inherited the experience of one of the three ninjas. Now that Tsunade is gone, he has become a popular medical ninja in Konoha Hospital.
Many seriously injured ninjas wish that it was Toneri who was treating them when they were lying on the operating table.
Because so far, he has never had a single operation fail, and he is known as "a doctor with a 100% success rate."
Not only him, the third medical team under his management has also become the class with the strongest overall medical level in the entire Konoha Hospital. Many medical ninjas are trying to get transferred to the third team.
With the power given to Toneri by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Toneri can freely expand the number of medical ninjas in the third team.
In order to strive for excellence, the third shift has extremely high transfer requirements.
But even so, there are still many people trying to get in.
Of course, Toneri also used his own power to register Lingxiang as a ninja and directly included him in the list of the third class.
This! This is the benefit of power.
Because of this medical ability, Toneri was nicknamed "Little Tsunade", which is definitely a very recognized title among Konoha's medical ninjas.
In addition to his equally famous cattery, there are not many people who know him.
Of course there are many people who come to say hello along the way.
He smiled and nodded with everyone in response.
He came to Matt Dai and rubbed Met Kai's head wantonly in front of him.
I have to say that Kaihuang’s head feels really comfortable to touch.
"I am very optimistic about this group of ninja school students. There are definitely many people among them who can change the entire ninja world in the future, including Kai!"
Upon hearing Shiren's words, Matt Dai's eyes lit up.
There is nothing more satisfying and proud for a parent than hearing his or her child being praised.
"I heard no Kai! This is youth! Don't let down your uncle Toneri's expectations for you! After school tonight, run a hundred laps around Konoha before going to bed!!"
"Yes! Dad! Thank you, Uncle Toneri!"
Kai responded excitedly, and after saying that, the two of them hugged each other, with runny noses and tears streaming down their cheeks, with an expression that looked like you've moved me.
Sheren's head was full of black lines: "..."
"Kai, don't call me uncle, call me brother from now on." Toneri patted Kai on the shoulder and continued: "Otherwise, I will beat you up when I see you again!"
Kai immediately stopped crying due to emotion, looked at Toneri whose entire face turned dark, and swallowed softly.
"Toneri...brother?"
In an instant, the sky cleared after the rain, leaving a beautiful rainbow in the sky.
He rubbed Kai's head again with satisfaction.
Children can be taught.
But this time, it left a lasting mark on Kai's young mind.
"It seems we are a little late, Kakashi."
At this time, a silver-haired middle-aged man with a warm smile on his face came to Toneri and the others with a young man who also had silver hair.
It must be said here that people with strong genes like Sakumo Hatake and Matt Dai do not have to worry about whether the children they give birth to are their own.
Because the children born from their powerful genes have really obvious characteristics.
Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo! And Five-Five Kai Kakashi!
The arrival of Hatake Sakumo officially attracted the attention of the parents waiting at the gate of the ninja school, and there were screams of surprise.
"Konoha White Fang, Lord Hatake Sakumo!"
"Hokage candidate, Sakumo-sama!"
"Good morning Sakumo-sama!"
"Is Sakumo-sama's child actually in the same class as my child? Such outstanding classmates will surely make my children even better, right?"
"As expected of Sakumo-sama's child, you can tell at a glance that his future achievements will be high!"
"..."
The scene was much greater than when Shiren came.
Shiren was speechless. It turns out that dog licking is not exclusive to this world.
To people from outside the village, Hatake Sakumo and Konoha White Fang's name means a murderous Shura, but to his Konoha companions, he is a very kind and friendly senior.
Just like Toneri, he nodded and greeted each other and came to the front of Toneri and Matt Dai.
"Long time no see, Dai Sherenjun."
Hatake Sakumo smiled and greeted the two of them.
Matt Dai directly stepped forward and hugged Hatake Sakumo's neck, laughing and said: "Haha - it's been a long time no see, you are a busy man, let's have a drink tonight!"
It can be seen from Matt Dai's actions that the relationship between the two should be relatively good, and they may be old acquaintances.
But Shiren is not quite sure about this.
"Uncle Sakumo, Kakashi, hello, I'm Metkai!" Metkai bowed very politely and greeted the two of them.
"Uncle Dai! Kai." Kakashi also shouted obediently.
Kakashi wore that exclusive mask at a young age. If Toneri hadn't seen him when he was a child, he would have thought he had some flaws on his face.
Mattei and Hatake Sakumo were there reminiscing about old times, while Metkai and Kakashi looked at each other, especially Metkai, who heard others praising Kakashi and was full of curiosity about an existence like Kakashi.
.
One is the child of Konoha's ten thousand years genin, and the other is the child of the first candidate for Hokage. Anyone can see the gap between them, right?
But it was this gap that even Kakashi could feel, which ignited the fire in Kai's heart that refused to admit defeat.
"Uncle Sakumo, Kakashi has started practicing chakra, right?"
Toneri interrupted the reminiscence between Hatake Sakumo and Matt Dai.
Hatake Sakumo scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Haha - this kid said he was just trying it out, but he didn't expect it to actually be refined."
There is a reason why the ninja school sets the admission age at six years old. It is not a good thing to expose children to chakra extraction too early.
Their bodies are still growing, and chakra is the product of the combination of spirit and energy in cells.
Children's cells have not yet been finalized, and refining chakra prematurely will affect their development, but I think at this point, Hatake Sakumo will not be devoid of common sense.
Kakashi, on the other hand, stared at the short sword on Toneri's waist, lost in thought.
When he was young, he still remembered that night when Hatake Sakumo taught Toneri swordsmanship.
So now he really wants to know what kind of person he is that would allow him, a man with a gentle expression but arrogant to his core, to teach him swordsmanship for an entire night.
After he became wise, he pestered his father to teach him sword skills, but his father always sent him away with some sword skills scrolls and said, "Think about these sword skills before you start."
Although he did everything, he still couldn't figure it out.
"As expected of his son, Sakumo, he is a genius!" Matt Dai said sincerely.
He is a taijutsu practitioner and specializes in taijutsu. Just by looking at Kakashi's muscles, you can tell that his body is quite outstanding, not even inferior to Kai who was specially trained by him.
This is a gap in talent.
"Uncle Dai, don't just look at other people's children, Kai is not bad at all." Toneri patted Kai on the shoulder.
Kai became even more excited when he heard the compliment and gave a thumbs up to Kakashi.
"But Gai, Kakashi's talent is indeed higher than yours, but you can't admit defeat, he will be your lifelong enemy!"
It's no small thing to watch the excitement, and I've decided to help Kakashi do this.
Since they are good gay friends, of course they will stay together for the rest of their lives!
However, Kakashi seemed a little disapproving. He could easily knock down someone like Metkai.
But it aroused Kai's fighting spirit.
As if he could see Kakashi's mentality, Hatake Sakumo gently pressed his shoulders, looked at the excited Mitkai, and said to him:
"Kakashi, don't underestimate anyone. Kai's future achievements may be higher than yours!"
Hatake Sakumo's words may be to give Matt Dai and Met Kai face, or it may be that he really thinks so.
But Toneri, who knew the result, nodded and agreed; "That's right, Kakashi, don't underestimate Kai. You are a genius in talent, and he is a genius in hard work. Who is more important in your future?"
It’s awesome, but it’s still very early.”
Hearing Toneri say this, both Hatake Sakumo and Matt Dai showed a hint of surprise.
A genius who works hard?
If there really is such a genius...
"Did you hear that? This is youth!! Don't let your uncle Toneri down!!"
Sheren: "Haha..."
Your sister’s uncle! Your whole family is uncle!!
