6 Konoha's Ninja Professor

After the enemy departure, it took half-day for Konoha and Uzushio to clean up the battlefield. At the same time because of Tenma's capture of eight-tails and seven-tails, Hiruzen had to order him to go back to Konoha with the prisoners as fast as he could. To not have any problem in the way back, Orochimaru, Jiraya and half of the army went back with him.

Hiruzen knew that after today in the month or so that will follow the true war will erupt because of today. Because he remember that the one who initiated the 2nd Ninja war wasn't one the five great nation but Hanzo!

(A/N : I actually don't know if it was really him, but I do remember that except Uzushiogakure, he was also one of the factor that brought the 2nd Ninja war. But I need a culprit so...)

At this time Hanzo was a Ninja with great ambitions and strength. In the original time-line, he declared war to a Konoha who just lost Mito Uzumaki and Uzushiogakure. At that time Hiruzen was trying unify Konoha and suppress all the people opposing him so it was the perfect time to do so.

But this time, while Hiruzen still think that Hanzo will still wage war, it won't be directly against Konoha. Not when they just prove their power today. Attacking a Suna with a seriously injured Kazekage or a Kumo with one less tail beast and an injured Raikage would be much better.

Especially so when, after Iwa learn what happened today, it's impossible for them to do nothing. All in all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was sure that a war will be coming.

So after Sending the prisoners away under the care of three Kage level shinobi, seeing that he still had some times to lose before his big talk with Uzumaki Seijuro. Hiruzen started to review his actions during the previous battle. And he had to say, while the result make it seems like he nailed it, but actually in his opinion he performed pretty poorly.

The first point, was the fact that he unleashed his newly developed ninjutsu Genkidama on the battlefield. While it's said development, in fact it was just the original Rasengan merge with Yang Chakra. But even then it was a huge mistake for Hiruzen to cast it indiscriminately when he didn't understood the jutsu completely and he could control it perfectly.

Like you could have guessed Hiruzen took inspiration from the real Genkidama of Dragon Ball who was also created from pure ki of vitality. But Hiruzen Genkidama was still a little different.

First of all, like all the variants of the Rasengan the Genkidama took a specific trait of the Chakra nature he change too. The Genkidama took the Vitality part of Yônton to the extreme, to the point that the Genkidama had only that function. But it's what made it terrifying.

The Genkidama couldn't give Vitality, it could only absorb it. It was its only function, but it was a terrible one. And it also explain those strange things that happen on the battlefield. The reason why the Bijuudama failed was because the Genkidama took a part of the Yang Chakra.

As for why the Yin Chakra was erased, it was also because of the properties of the Genkidama. Like the other Genkidama who could erase the evil kid because of too much vitality or 'good ki', this one could also do it because of too much Yang Chakra.

A human had both Yin and Yang Chakra inside them, so what happen to the other shinobi didn't to be explain.

As for why Hiruzen regret casting the Odama-Genkidama, it was because he didn't think that the absorbing propriety of the jutsu was so great! Furthermore he didn't expect that because it was condensed Yang chakra, it could almost ignore other jutsu and objects!

Up until now, he still didn't know why after touching the ground it dispersed! But he was grateful for that, otherwise who knows if the Genkidama wouldn't have just absorb the vitality of the planet too?

And the thing that scared Hiruzen the most was the fact that when he cast the Genkidama, it almost absorb himself! If it wasn't for throwing that glowing ball quickly, it will be a question of whether or he'll still be alive right now.

This was really something that Hiruzen didn't forsee. Before using it on the battlefield, he did train with it, but at that time it was with his clone so he didn't notice how dangerous it was. The only reason he knew the effect of the jutsu on people was because he used a normal Genkidama (Size of a normal Rasengan) on animals. But at that time he didn't lost control of the jutsu, he could still cancel it after after casting it.

But it was only now that Hiruzen knew that the reason why that was the case was because they were clone, they had no vitality!

And it was because of how uncontrolled the jutsu was that he didn't dare to use it against the three Kage.

But during his fight against them, he also made many mistakes.

First of all, he let them take the initiative, and because of that they gradually got his intelligences. If it wasn't because of his versatility, and the fact that Gengetsu wasn't serious he may have die.

Because yes, Hiruzen knew that from the start Hōzuki Gengetsu didn't fought against him seriously otherwise Hiruzen would have suffered.

From the start to finish Gengetsu only sent one Steamy Danger Tyranny Clone and then practically sit back to watch the show. Don't says that he can't summon more than one, anyway Hiruzen won't believe it. Besides even if it was the case, he also noticed that he didn't use his Clam who had a mist with genjutsu effect. The only role it played was to cover they retreats.

But those strange action from the Mizukage make him doubt about the real reason of his attack here. Especially when he remembered that Gengetsu told him that he was expecting his arrival.

'Could it be that Uzushio was just a side thing but his real goal was something else? Me?'

Suddenly Hiruzen react. While Hiruzen has been Hokage for more than 20 year, nobody saw him shoot since the 1st Ninja War and at that time he wasn't Hokage yet and also didn't have the the strength of one too.

But because Mito was still alive and other countries were recovering from the Ninja War, they didn't move. But now she was dead and everyone had the time to grow their strength and they respective villages. So Gengetsu start to do some tricks.

'Uzushio was just a cover up, I was the real target! And not only me...

Gengetsu use the Uzumaki sealing techniques and physics as a bait to attract as much village as possible... His goal was just to assess the situation of each of us!'

Realizing Gengetsu objective and means to achieve it, Hiruzen start to feel cold. Because he suddenly felt that if he didn't show enough strength today, Gengetsu wouldn't have let it go that easily. He was even sure that he had some hidden move to deal with him.

Thinking about that guy joviality all along, Hiruzen deeply felt how deceiving were the Shinobi in this world.

'Sure enough, all Kage are masters at cheating people! None of them are good people!'

Not wanting to think to much about Gengetsu treacherous friendly face, Hiruzen get up to meet the Uzumaki leader.

After finding him, Seijuro didn't say anything, but lead him to the now empty Uzushiokage building. Arriving at his office he directly activate an isolation seal to prevent any kind of eavesdropping.

"I don't know if what you want to talk about is sensitive or not, but just in case..." explained Seijuro to Hiruzen. The latter just node in understanding.

"Actually, it wouldn't have been a problem if other hear it, but it is indeed better if they hear about it after you take your decision on the matter." after hearing Hiruzen, the Uzumaki already had an idea on what the other wanted to talk about but he still ask.

"And what is it about?"

"...After fighting the three Kage, I learned that the goal of the creation of the alliance wasn't you. You were just an excuse. The objective was more sinister and sly in nature.

But the fact that more than three country still took the bait, still proves that your existence unsettled many. And the fact that you are alone enticed the greed of many other.

While Konoha is your greatest ally and will always try to help you, it is unrealistic for us to always look out for you. Because there will always come a day where we'll miss. So for your security, and survival I Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen asked you today to move out your Clan to Konoha."

***************

While Hiruzen was talking to Seijuro about relocating his clan, in parallel the world received the result of the Uzushio battle.

The Kiri-Kumo-Taki-Suna Alliance lost! That news immediately detonate the world.

Impossible! That was they first reactions. And even so when we told them that Konoha was the cause to their defeat. And when the details of the battle came out they thought it the person in front was just writing a Fantasy!

The Third Hokage destroy a Bijuudama head-on? And still annihilated 5000 shinobi at the same time? He fought the 3 Kage at the same time? Still gravely injured 2 of them?

The Kurama clan produced a Kage level powerhouse capable of controlling Tail Beasts? All Hokage's apprentice were all Kage level? One of them still awaken Mokuton? Not to mention the fact that she wasn't alone and there was an unusual high amount of Half-Kage among Konoha!

"Did you perhaps drink something unhealthy while writing your report?" asked the second Tsuchikage Mū as politely as he could.

Because today report was really something he had trouble in believing.

He can still believe the fact that Tsunade awaken mokuton. Anyway they all knew who was her grandfather. Her teammates power was still believable too. But who can tell me what happens to the report when it come to the Hokage and Kurama Tenma?

Proficient in all five attributes jutsu. Can seal during combat, do one hand hand-sign and none-sign jutsu as well as master in taijutsu and Genjutsu! And he could still do damage area attack comparable to his Jinton! (Dust release)

As for Tenma Kurama, Mū just ignore it. A guy who could control the five sense of even tail beasts, what could you do? Anyway Mū just did as if that guy didn't exist otherwise he would be to disgust.

After verifying that the report that he received was indeed true, Mū was truly terrified by this new Konoha.

Before today, he was indeed afraid of Konoha, but it was because of some special and specific individuals. Existence like Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara Senju Tobirama and Uzumaki Mito were supposed to be some kind of rare things. Mū even felt like Tobirama was also a bit more Human like himself than the other monsters of Konoha.

But today he learned that something that is supposed to be rare, start to become a common thing in Konoha, how could he not become afraid?

He didn't want another Hashirama to appear again, but even if he was unwilling he could do nothing to stop it!

Thinking about it, Mū start to concentrate on the other information inside the file.

'Konoha, I can't touch it for now. You on the other hand...'

Lifting his head, Mū face an Onoki in his prime.

"Onoki, go in the north-east and increase the troops there. This is a great opportunity to hit Kumo." hearing the order, Onoki nodded but still show a puzzled face.

"What about you teacher?"

"I have to settle some thing in Suna. I would meet you after that."

***************

"Unexpectedly, even after Hashirama's death Konoha still succeed in getting another powerful Hokage." In an old building surrounded by an ever falling rain, a Shinobi who will soon be named Demigod just received the result of the Uzumaki battle. But contrary to the other, being constantly surrounded by powerful enemy, he took news better than the other.

"Well, in any case it's just change the order of confrontation. Nothing else." He comment before turning to his subordinate.

"Tell Anbu to send me a daily report on the Raikage's situation."

"Yes!"

After his subordinate departure Hanzo looked toward the windows lost in his thoughts.

'Konoha's Ninja Professor Huh? I look forward fighting you. I can already tell that our battle will be legendary!'

Yes, with the outcome of the Uzumaki Battle also came out Hiruzen new Title : Konoha's Ninja Professor!

A title while not domineering piqued the interest of many. One of them being a half dead old man surviving in the underground of Takigakure.

After hearing the news about Hiruzen, a gleam of excitement pass through his weird lavender eyes.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen... That hateful Tobirama did produce a good disciple. Being able to confront a Bijuudama head-on is a prove that he start to get closer to Hashirama's power. But I don't know by how much. It makes me want to test him, unfortunately..."
