Chapter 14

The sky above Konoha echoed with the sounds of countless chirping birds, creating a dazzling display akin to daylight.

"Wow! It's so mesmerizing!" exclaimed one observer.

"Exactly what I'd expect from the Fourth Hokage!" added another.

"This ninjutsu is incredibly terrifying!"

"Oh my God, I can't keep my eyes open!"

The onlookers, one by one, closed their eyes as if fearing an explosion from the overwhelming spectacle.

As the thunderous noise subsided, a shocking scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.

I looked around, surveying the aftermath.

The once-thriving Sarutobi and Shimura clans—where had their presence gone?

Not a trace of either tribe remained.

Only scorched earth stretched out in front of them.

The clan lands, houses, and clan members had all been reduced to ashes by the devastating blow.

"Damn it! Hiruzen!" Danzo cried out, gazing at the vanished family.

Danzo, who was still recovering from his beating, now appeared even more tearful and pitful.

His furious gaze locked onto Ryan.

"Hiruzen can't be dead! Tell me, where is he?"

Danzo's eyes were bloodshot as he relentlessly interrogated Ryan.

Observing Danzo's desperate demeanour. Ryan couldn't help but think that Sarutobi Hiruzen must have been like a loved one to him. or something more. Ehehehe.

Although their relationship was not entirely clear when faced with Danzo's inquiries. Ryan generously pointed to the open space in front of him.

"He's all around us."

"...."

Upon hearing this response, Danzo seemed to lose all strength, surrendering entirely.

He weakly slumped to the ground, realizing deep down that Sarutobi Hiruzen had no chance of survival after the devastating ninjutsu.

Even if I had ten more Sharingans, it wouldn't be enough.

Now that Hiruzen was gone and the family had vanished, Danzo had nothing left to fight for.

He sat in a daze on the ground, unable to speak for a long time.

Witnessing this, Ryan refrained from saying much.

After exchanging a glance with Sakumo, Ryan gave a subtle signal.

In an instant, Sakumo swiftly swung his knife, dispatching the man known as the shadow of Konoha—Danzo.

With Danzo dead, Ryan let out a long sigh of relief.

Having eliminated the Sarutobi and Shimura clans, the internal crisis within Konoha had been resolved.

"Minato, send someone to clean up," Ryan instructed. "Resume construction here as soon as possible!"

Having dealt with the affairs of the two clans, Ryan returned to the Hokage building, organizing the remaining work.

At that moment, Ryan felt a greater sense of ease.

Not long after Ryan's return, Tsunade and Orochimaru, who had been drinking in the tavern, arrived directly.

Observing the two, Ryan didn't need to say a word before his head was pushed between Tsunade's ample bosom.

"Mmmph! I can't breathe, Master!" Ryan muffledly protested.

As Ryan struggled, Tsunade's face reddened.

But considering the vengeance against the Senju clan that her obedient apprentice had fulfilled, Tsunade had little concern.

She continued to hold Ryan's head tightly, refusing to let go.

Witnessing this, Ryan ceased his struggle, surrendering to the embrace of the soft bosom.

Enjoying the sensation, he heard Tsunade's enthusiastic voice.

"Ryan, Ryan, you were absolutely amazing just now!"

"What... What are you doing?!!"

Just as Ryan was about to lose himself in the moment, a fiery red figure barged into the office.

The person's hair seemed to flicker like flames.

Recognizing the voice, Ryan hastily extracted himself from Tsunade's embrace.

Seeing that Kushina was on the verge of going berserk, Ryan quickly spoke up, "Hahaha, Kushina, Master was just showing gratitude."

"It was quite exhilarating!"

Listening to Ryan's explanation, Tsunade eyed the two suspiciously.

However, considering what had transpired with the Senju clan, Tsunade's excitement seemed understandable.

Furthermore, Tsunade Hime was still a relative of her own.

Uzumaki Kushina had no choice but to relent.

Observing this, Tsunade now wore a mischievous smile.

After exchanging greetings with Kushina, Tsunade turned and left.

But as Tsunade walked past Kushina, Ryan caught sight of Tsunade had a smirk on her face.

Witnessing the scene, Ryan couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Orochimaru, who stood nearby, also had a smirk on his face.

Yet, with Tsunade's departure, Orochimaru decided not to taunt Ryan and left the office as well.

As for the matters that remained in Konoha, they could be discussed another time.

Soon, Ryan, with his silver tongue, managed to coax Kushina.

Observing the well-behaved Kushina before him, Ryan let out a long sigh of relief.

Kushina had narrowly avoided turning into a shura. Women get jealous too easily. Especially from other women.

As for Tsunade, being a time traveller, would he ever let go of such an opportunity? The legendary 106. Jiraya might be dead but his words live in every weeb's heart.

That's how without any shame Ryan became Tsunade's student and gradually won her heart.

One named Dan, who had gotten too close to Tsunade, had been dealt with by Ryan beforehand.

However, now it was necessary to consolidate the power of the entire Konoha.

Otherwise, in three months' time, during the next gathering of chat group, the World Leaderboard function would be enabled.

Failing to be at the forefront would be embarrassing for a time traveller.

The following day,

"Minato, send someone to summon Uchiha Fugaku," Ryan instructed. "Have him come to the Hokage building."

"Understood!"

Minato promptly relayed Ryan's message to the Uchiha family.

In the current patriarch's residence,

An Anbu had arrived to deliver the news to Uchiha Fugaku.

"The Fourth Hokage, do you wish to see me? I understand," Uchiha Fugaku replied.

"I'll head there immediately."

Receiving Uchiha Fugaku's response, the Anbu nodded and swiftly left the Uchiha clan.

Meanwhile, Fugaku furrowed his brow, deep in thought about the reason behind the summons.

Observing this, Mikoto, who had just come out, couldn't help but ask, "Fugaku, why did the Hokage summon you? Any idea?"

Fugaku shook his head helplessly.

"If only I knew the reason," he said. "I suppose it's best not to dwell on it anymore."

As the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, regardless of the events to come, Fugaku had to meet with the Hokage first.

"The future of the Uchiha clan hinges on today's negotiation."
