Chapter 298: Two or Three Things About Konoha

"Then I'll go get everything ready."

Rin smiled and immediately disappeared from the rooftop.

Yeruashi was, after all, the Hokage, and she is the captain of the Shadow Guard squadron and the commander of the medical department, if you add Kurenai, it turns out that three high-ranking officials will be leaving Konoha at the same time, so she must make proper arrangements.

Yeruashi nodded, still inspecting the numerous buildings of Konoha.

With a blue-sky gleam in his eyes, he saw Might Guy and Might Duy running briskly around Konoha in green leggings.

Might Duy, covered in a large amount of sweat, sighed wearily, "Ah... my youth... almost burned..."

"You can't give up so easily! Father, the power of youth will always burn in your heart!!!"

Guy let out a loud exclamation and raised his thumb towards Duy, who was running beside him, ignoring the strange looks of those around him.

Yeruashi's gaze swept across Konoha again and stopped at the Ninja Academy.

Some of the students were sitting in classrooms and others were gathered in the open area beside the school and practicing.

The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was teaching in one of the classrooms.

The Ninja Academy had expanded almost three times compared to the past. In addition to children from Konoha, children from Kumogakure and Sunagakure are now taught here.

It must be said that Hiruzen is very good as a teacher, especially in terms of brainwashing and spreading the Fire Will. Under his guidance, children from other villages, one by one, began to believe in the Will of Fire.

In the middle of the playground, Yeruashi saw Naruto and Sasuke fighting.

Right now, Naruto and Sasuke were the two most popular boys in their class. Although Naruto grew up as the son of the Fourth Hokage, and Sasuke didn't experience the clan massacre, they still worked hard.

"I... I will definitely defeat you and become Hokage!"

Naruto was breathing heavily and covered in bruises, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to fight Sasuke.

Sasuke sighed and exclaimed, "Your strength is nothing compared to the strength of the Uchiha Clan!"

Bang! Bang!!!!

They simultaneously hit each other in the face and flew in different directions, then simultaneously fell to the ground and could no longer get up.

The Chuunin master, who was watching their battle, sighed, "Naruto and Sasuke, a draw!"

"Next match, Hyuga Hinata vs. Kiba Inuzuka!"

Hearing the Chuunin master's words, Kiba exclaimed indignantly, "Why do I have to fight a girl!"

"Because there are an odd number of girls in our class!"

Nara Shikamaru, who was nearby, said wearily. He didn't expect to be fighting at the end of this training session, otherwise, he would have simply skipped class to avoid standing here for so long in vain. Initially, he thought he would surrender to the opponent from the start and let the lesson go quietly. Alas...

"Please advise me..."

Hinata stepped out onto the landing and said timidly.

One of the students said, "Hinata is from the famous Hyuga Clan, don't you dare treat her like a simple girl, otherwise you might lose..."

Kiba stepped onto the platform and said helplessly, "Attack first..."

Hinata's development was completely normal, because Hamura's chakra was still completely sealed, and due to Hamura's chakra and Yeruashi's request, Hiashi didn't demand too much of her training.

Hinata was quickly defeated by Kiba.

"Inuzuka Kiba won!"

The Chuunin master announced the result.

Yeruashi had been watching Hinata thoughtfully all this time.

With the help of the Rinne-Tenseigan, he could clearly see that Hamura's chakra, completely isolated from his body, had already almost reached a volume comparable to that of a Bijuu.

"Almost..."

Yeruashi whispered.

Hinata was now almost ten years old.

In wartime, children of this age already graduated from the academy and became Genins, and some even became Chuunins.

At the age of ten, you can gradually begin to take control of Hamura chakra.

Whoosh!!!

While Yeruashi was thinking about this, Kakashi suddenly appeared behind him.

Kakashi approached him and said, "Weren't we supposed to perform in two days, why did you suddenly decide to go on vacation?"

"Don't worry, it won't affect the original plan in any way."

Yeruashi turned around, patted Kakashi on the shoulder and said, "You've already become a fully qualified Chief Captain of the Shadow Guard, it's time to learn how to solve all kinds of little problems on your own."

Kakashi: "..."

This is due to the absorption of Iwagakure and the unification of the Country of Earth to the Country of Fire!

Such a move would involve moving at least a few thousand ninja out of Konoha, plus the need to resolve issues of tactics, supplies, etc.

This definitely doesn't sound like a 'minor problem'.

"Well..."

"Wait."

Yeruashi reached out and pulled Kakashi out of the newly formed black vortex, saying, "Go to the Ninja Academy and ask Hyuga Hinata to come to my office after school."

"Hinata, Hiashi's daughter?!"

Kakashi looked at Yeruashi strangely and said, "But as far as I remember.... she's only ten years old..."

Yeruashi: "????"

Sounds too weird and strange....

Recently, Kakashi has matured a lot and his character has become more solid. The toxic language problem has completely disappeared, but every now and then he can say something completely ordinary and harmless at first glance, but in reality it sounds too weird and awkward.

Yeruashi let go of his hand and sighed helplessly while watching Kakashi disappear into the black vortex.

At this moment, Yeruashi couldn't help but think of Sasuke, although this guy is usually cold and arrogant in front of others, but in front of Itachi, he behaves like a sweet and obedient younger brother.

...

After a while.

In the Hokage's office.

Yeruashi, who was sitting at the table, looked at Hinata in front of him and said, "Didn't your father tell you about your hidden power?"

"Hidden... Hidden power?" asked Hinata, puzzled.

Yeruashi got up from the table, walked over to Hinata and looked at the lock of black hair on her head, "Looks like Hiashi didn't tell you about this? Then I'll tell you myself."

"You inherited some of the chakra from the ancestor of the Hyuga Clan, Hamura Ōtsutsuki. This chakra is extremely strong and very difficult to control, so I sealed this power when you were little."

As he spoke, Yeruashi raised his hand.

Hinata was in shock, unable to comprehend such sudden and shocking news, but at that moment, she noticed how Yeruashi reached over and touched her hair with his fingertips.

Buzz!!!

Hamura's sealed chakra was released by Yeruashi, and a powerful chakra fluctuation immediately swept in all directions.

Yeruashi gently waved his hand, instantly suppressing these chakra fluctuations, and with a quick flick of his finger, closed the seal again.

Although it only lasted for a moment, this terrifying chakra caused Hinata's body to tremble, her body was covered in sweat and she stumbled, falling backwards unsteadily.

Yeruashi reached out and caught Hinata falling with her chakra, then waved her hand, causing her body to slowly fly across the office and land on the couch.

"Well?"

"Did you feel it, did you feel your hidden power?"

Hinata's chest was rising and falling violently, she barely came to herself after half a minute and immediately looked at Yeruashi with a frightened look and said, "Hokage-sama..."

"Don't be afraid."

Yeruashi smiled softly and told him "The seal was only set because you were too young to control this power back then, but now I will start teaching you how to do it. Tomorrow you will take the day off and come with me to practice."

Although Hinata was still breathing heavily, when she heard Yeruashi's words, she immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at Yeruashi in a daze.

Although Hinata, like in the anime, has a very soft and shy character, but at the age of ten, she could already understand what it means to learn from Yeruashi.

Any ninja in Konoha dreams of this, because learning from the Fifth Hokage was equivalent to receiving his recognition!

Although his idle and relaxed life seems to have come to an end, compared to this, he would definitely choose to study hard with Yeruashi.

"Go home and talk about this with your father."

"By the way... Don't call me Hokage-sama, from now on, call me Yeruashi-sensei"

Yeruashi smiled politely and sat down at the table.

In the anime, Hinata was Kurenai's student, but now, Kurenai probably wasn't going to take Genin teams, so Hinata becoming his disciple can be called a twist of fate's gears.

As for Kurenai's other two students, Shino and Kiba....
