Chapter 99: Whose child is this?

The Chūnin Exam is about to take place, and ninja from various villages are flocking to Konoha to participate.

The Sunagakure shinobi are already in position, and it is the team of the Kazekage's son, whom Natsuo is familiar with.

Natsuo has never seen Kirigakure shinobi before, and their strength is quite average. They are probably just a few Genin that Terumī Mei randomly picked to deal with the situation.

After all, the Land of Water itself is relatively closed off. Even if she wants to expand Kirigakure's external communication, it won't be resolved in a short period of time. She needs to first resolve the complex internal issues of Kirigakure.

The main goal of these Genin in coming here is to cooperate with Konoha and expand Konoha's influence, using Kirigakure's reputation to support Konoha and function as a springboard for Konoha.

Their goal is not to intimidate other shinobi with the strength of Kirigakure in the Chūnin Exam.

That's right, Terumī Mei has made a good deal again. The Third Hokage is very happy with Kirigakure's understanding. He has relaxed many conditions and has given a good boost to Kirigakure, which has just emerged from internal strife.

Of course, the Third Hokage is not at a loss. What Konoha needs is not a small amount of money but influence and time.

Both sides are satisfied with this transaction.

It can be predicted that Konoha, under the leadership of the Third Hokage, will definitely shine in the Chūnin Exam.

But with benefits come drawbacks.

The influx of shinobi from other villages into Konoha represents an increase in the difficulty of security. There will inevitably be shinobi with ill intentions who will take advantage of the situation and try to cause trouble.

Even if the Third Hokage takes the risk of a possible outbreak of a major war and has deployed elite patrols, there are still many who escape surveillance.

For example...

Natsuo glanced at an old man who was treating a child who had fallen on the road.

"Alright, your injury is healed. Be more careful when walking next time, don't hurt yourself again."

The old man had a kind and gentle expression, and his smile was very warm. His eyes were full of encouragement.

Shinnō a medical-nin from the Land of the Sky.

He is a doctor whose reputation has spread throughout the Shinobi World and is highly skilled in medical treatment.

Perhaps he is not as good as Tsunade, but compared to Tsunade, who no longer actively treats others, his value has increased significantly.

However, Natsuo knows that this kind and gentle old man was the leader of the Land of the Sky, which was destroyed by Konoha during the Second Great Shinobi War.

Natsuo rubbed his chin. This was an unexpected gain... He simply concealed his presence and followed along.

Along the way, many people greeted Shinnō, perhaps they were people he had helped. Shinnō always responded with a smile on his face. 

Shinnō himself did not live in a hotel, but in a relatively remote residential area. Compared to hotels with large crowds and easy attention from Konoha, staying in an ordinary residential area seemed to be a better way to hide oneself.

Shinnō greeted the owner of the house where he was staying and entered the room, closing the door.

"Hmph! Dirty Konoha!"

The old man, who had originally had a kind and gentle expression, instantly changed his face. He hurried to the sink, vigorously rubbing his palms. As if his hands had just touched something disgusting.

In fact, it was just a child who had fallen down...

"Damn Konoha, if it weren't for infiltration, how could I possibly help your villagers?"

Shinnō's face was filled with anger as he fiercely rubbed his palms, rubbing them until they peeled before finally stopping.

"But soon, my secret technique will be complete. Just one last step, and soon I will be able to reactivate the Land of the Sky's flying headquarters, Ancor Vantian. The first to be destroyed will be you, Konoha!"

"Oh? What else do you need to do?"

"There's still the Zero-Tails... Who are you?!"

Shinnō half-heartedly responded and suddenly his face changed drastically. He turned his head and met Natsuo's smiling face.

In Natsuo's eyes, Sharingan energy erupted.

Shinnō had just made out the strange pattern when the world spun in the next second, and he lost consciousness.

"An easy catch." Natsuo clapped his hands.

Shinnō is the main antagonist in 'Naruto Shippūden the Movie: Bonds'. He developed the Body Revival Technique, which can repair the user's body and increase its strength by manipulating the 'Destruction and Rebirth' cycle of the muscles.

He is an expert in human body research. It also has the technology of Land of the Sky.

Natsuo, without any hesitation, directly used Sharingan on Shinnō, extracting various medical knowledge from his mind.

Then he stopped the genjutsu. Next second, Shinnō woke up.

"You brat! You actually found me, I won't spare you!" Although Shinnō had lost consciousness, he understood very well that he could no longer hide himself.

"Although my 'Body Revival Technique' is not yet complete, it's still a piece of cake to deal with an enemy!"

Next second...

He opened the Eight Inner Gates!

Moreover, he went directly from one gate to the Seventh Gate, very smoothly. Surging chakra poured out from his body, and his old body began to emit a youthful aura.

Then, Natsuo slapped him to the ground, completely losing consciousness and ceasing to breathe.

"This is truly the most miserable time the Eight Inner Gates have been defeated." Natsuo shook his head helplessly.

In the Naruto Series, this guy Shinnō opened the Eight Gates, but he was easily killed by Naruto, who had just completed training with Jiraiya, and Sasuke, who hadn't killed Orochimaru yet... He is a complete joke.

Where in the world would there be such embarrassing Eight Inner Gates?

Natsuo grabbed Shinnō's body and instantly disappeared from the house.

He still had to find the Sky Ninjas. Although defeating the Sky Ninjas is quite simple.

After Natsuo found the hidden stronghold of Sky ninjas through Shinnō's memories, he effortlessly wiped them out.

Compared to the incompetent Shinnō, the Sky ninjas are even more incompetent. In the Naruto Series, they deployed countless aircraft carriers, only to be wiped out by Aburame Shino's bugs. Aburame Shino was just a Chūnin-level ninja at the time!

Even if we consider his strength as Jōnin, or even Elite Jōnin, the performance of the Sky Ninjas is still incredibly incompetent.

Of course, this is not to say that Land of the Sky technology has no advantages. Whether it's aircraft carriers, fighter jets or machine guns, they all have impressive technological content.

It's just that these guys performed poorly.

Natsuo razed the sky ninjas' hideout and sent their technology to the Land of Snow.

With years of investment and construction, the technological capabilities of the Land of Snow have become increasingly powerful.

Under Natsuo's occasional suggestions during his free time when visiting Kazahana Koyuki, they have already conducted preliminary research on gunpowder weapons and invented various types of cannons, landmines, grenades, and other weapons.

Land of the Sky's technology is more of a combination of technology and chakra, which is a strong complement to the technology of the Land of Snow.

By the way, after so many years, Tōno Katasuke's abilities have improved significantly. He successfully achieved the dream of the successive rulers of the Land of Snow, an environmental modifier!

However, considering the possible impact of the drastic changes in the Snow Country's environment on the balance of the Shinobi World, as well as the greed of other ninja villages. Especially Sunagakure, who are in desperate need of an environmental modifier. Kazahana Koyuki announced that the environmental modifier is not yet complete and can only be used for short periods of time and at specific times as an emergency measure.

Therefore, Tōno Katasuke was unable to gain honor. Fortunately, Natsuo immediately gave him a large material reward and an emotional reward (taking him to meet several Land of Snow girls).

Now, Tōno Katasuke is completely tied to the Land of Snow. He has married several beautiful noblewomen and has become minister of the Land of Snow, in charge of a large amount of human and material resources. He can be considered successful and famous. He feels quite satisfied with his life.

Natsuo even declared Tōno Katasuke dead in Konoha's records, using the excuse of sacrificing himself during a mission.

It can be said that he is now a complete citizen of the Land of Snow.

Now Natsuo has also packed up a bunch of technology from the Land of the Sky. Perhaps Tōno Katasuke will surprise Natsuo in a few years and present him with even more amazing technologies.

The matter of Shinnō is just a small episode.

On the other hand, after Konoha discovered Shinnō's disappearance, they thought that other shinobi villages had acted and deliberately increased their actions, strictly monitoring foreign personnel and strengthening their guard.

They also investigated the reason for Shinnō's disappearance as much as possible. Shinnō is a well-known medical-nin. His disappearance in Konoha Village would obviously become a stain on Konoha's reputation.

It is said that when the Third Hokage and the two chief advisors learned about Shinnō's medical ninjutsu and the partially developed secret techniques, they thought that Danzō's old problem had recurred and that he had targeted Shinnō.

Even if Danzō swore that he didn't do it, the Third Hokage and the others didn't believe him.

Third Hokage: "Danzō says he didn't do it, do you believe him?"

Utatane Koharu: "Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it."

Danzo: "..."

Meanwhile, Natsuo didn't care about the disputes among the high-level officials of Konoha. He was immersed in the revival of the Uchiha clan on a daily basis.

It must be said that Guren gave Natsuo a good experience. Her appearance, which was both aloof and indifferent, made people unable to resist wanting to see the passion behind her coldness.

After repeated efforts, Guren became pregnant in less than half a month. This time was almost the same as an epiphany. After all, it takes some time to detect the pregnancy after conceiving...

Not only her, but Ringo Ameyuri also became pregnant.

At the same time, there was an unexpected joy that puzzled Natsuo.

[Offspring +1, the comprehensive potential evaluation is 257, you gain Chakra +23, Bakudō #58: Kakushitsuijaku.]

Natsuo was shocked: "When did the Uchiha clan have another child?!"

"Who is the mother of this child?"
