The Shadow of Konoha

The Third Hokage was silent for a while, as if he had weighed the pros and cons of Hanyu's plan and thought it through, then he spoke, "Your method sounds reasonable and comprehensive, but don't say half-heartedly and cover up the details. Tell me the rest clearly... What else do you want to do by leaving the Nine-Tails in the Wet Bone Forest?"

Lord Hokage is also an old fox, he easily saw through Hanyu's "ulterior motives".

Well, we are all foxes in the same forest, no one is more coquettish than the other...

"Well, I can't hide it from the Hokage. I do have some ideas for myself. If the Nine-Tails is left there, it will be a waste of chakra, so I want to take this opportunity to collect some rent..."

Hanyu smiled and explained his intentions, including the problems he faced and why he wanted to use the Nine-Tails' Chakra.

He had no intention of hiding these things from the Third Hokage. Since it was related to the tailed beasts, it should be explained clearly... Otherwise, Hanyu's little thoughts would not be so easily seen through.

After listening to Hanyu's explanation, the Third Hokage was slightly surprised, "Are you sure this can solve your problem? This method sounds like a superficial solution and not a cure for the disease."

"It is only a temporary measure. The most fundamental approach is to increase your physical strength, but this level of strength is too high to be achieved through ordinary exercise and secret medicine.

Simply put, I need a technique, but this technique may take a long time to practice successfully... and before that, I don't want my physical condition to continue to deteriorate." Hanyu said.

It turns out that although he did not hesitate when using forbidden techniques, he also knew that it would cause his physical condition to continue to deteriorate... It turns out that he is not a fool who only cares about the beginning and not the end.

"Senjutsu technique?"

The Third Hokage sighed and uttered this answer. His eyes swept across the vast wet bone forest and the surrounding towering mountains. He easily determined what the "jutsu" that Hanyu mentioned was referring to.

Senjutsu is indeed an extremely complex technique with extremely high difficulty in practicing. It is not even within the scope of Ninjutsu, so the "Ninjutsu Professor" may not be able to deal with it.

If you want to successfully practice immortal arts, not only does it take a lot of time, but most people who try to practice Senjutsu arts will never succeed in their entire lives.

And Hanyu was waiting for the answer from the Third Hokage.

"Okay, you convinced me, and I approve of your arrangement... This is a reward for you, the person who proposed the whole plan." In the end, the Third Hokage agreed with Hanyu's suggestion.

There is no doubt that the "Hanyu" factor particularly contributed to the Third Hokage's decision.

Hanyu's suggestion itself is very reasonable. Although there are some minor hidden dangers, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Furthermore, Hanyu's combat power has already had an important impact on Konoha, and his relationship with the Third Hokage is relatively close. So since he has such a need and such behavior is harmless to Konoha as a whole, the Third Hokage will be happy to agree.

However, before Hanyu's smile spread, the Third Hokage continued, "The Nine-Tails Dividing Plan is undoubtedly an important plan that will affect the future of the village. Considering that you are the one who proposed this plan and have made great contributions to it...

I originally wanted to increase Shadow Stream's funding and improve your personal benefits as a reward, but since you have made such a request, these planned investments can be saved."

So Hanyu couldn't laugh anymore. Isn't this just a roundabout way of deducting his salary?

…

According to Hanyu's plan, the seven Impure World Reincarnations were temporarily buried in the slug's body, and then he and the Third Hokage returned to Konoha... This is only a temporary measure at present, and Hanyu still needs to return here the next day.

Once the decision was made, the Third Hokage had no doubts about Hanyu. After all, the ultimate control of the situation was still in his hands. Although Hanyu sometimes seemed unreliable, he had never done anything bad in terms of results. Moreover, Hanyu was trustworthy in his judgment and handling of major events.

So the Third Hokage returned to Konoha with peace of mind to deal with the mess left behind after his sudden disappearance.

Hanyu stayed at the Shadow Stream base.

Uzumaki Shikou is not here. She should be assisting Uzumaki Mito in dealing with the Uzumaki clan affairs.

So Hanyu first went to the samehada culture tank, first to check the growth and harvest of the samehada larvae, and secondly...

"Starting today, increase the chakra supply here. There's no need to save it anymore. The growth of these young ones should be the top priority." Hanyu gave this instruction to a Shadow Ninja who had been in charge of taking care of this place.

"But... Lord Hanyu, if we do this, the Two-Tails chakra that we have worked so hard to obtain will be exhausted soon. What about the energy needed for the subsequent growth of these young ones?" The other party asked puzzledly. After all, they had been adopting the strategy of "living frugally" before, and now they have suddenly become "rich", which of course would make people uncomfortable.

"It's okay, just do as I say. As for the remaining energy problem, I have found a solution." Hanyu explained.

After hearing what Hanyu said, the ninja nodded. If there was a follow-up supply of chakra, then things would be easy.

Hanyu glanced at the slug squatting here again, then turned and left the "training room".

The Two-Tails Chakra is nothing but trash, not even worthy of being used as dog food. Would Hanyu care about this little thing?

So, this is what men are like, this is the legendary fickleness... Now is not the time for Hanyu to go to great lengths to get some Two-Tails Chakra for experiments.

After some time, Shiko also returned to Shadow Stream.

"Is there any problem with the Uzumaki clan?" Hanyu asked her. He was now more worried about the situation on the Uzumaki side.

"It's no big deal, Lord Hanyu. With Lady Mito around, people can calm down. But for most people, because such a thing happened suddenly, everyone is very sad." Shiko said this, and it can be seen that her expression is tired and sad.

Hanyu could understand her feelings, but he couldn't let her indulge in them.

"If the Uzumaki side can be stabilized, then send someone else to accompany Mito-sama tomorrow. You come with me. I need you more here."

Shiko raised her head and blinked, then she realized what Hanyu was saying.

"I understand, Master Hanyu."
