Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 365: Jiraiya's Illegitimate Son?

Hikaru did have the talent of a ninja. In other words, he could knead chakra, so naturally, he could become a ninja.

He had already bought the "school district housing" before, ten sets at once, so he could live wherever he wanted.

Shikamaru believed that the old king of the Land of the Moon was dead, and Prince Michiru had succeeded the throne. Now that Hikaru, a legitimate prince, was going to Konoha to study, putting aside whether he would become a ninja or not, his identity alone was very beneficial for establishing a harmonious relationship between Konoha and the Land of the Moon.

For Konoha, for the Ino-Shika-Cho, and for Arasaka, the Land of the Moon was an important maritime transportation hub for the Land of Fire to reach the southern continent, and its significance was great.

For Konoha to take him in, there were only benefits and no disadvantages.

Ino tacitly agreed with this statement.

She heard from Sakura and Hikaru about what happened in the warehouse. She highly suspected that this was a site for Isshiki Ōtsutsuki's "Karma" selection. But according to Hikaru, he didn't see any pretentious bald donkey. The fierce-looking bad guys just injected black medicine into the vats. He saw several other boys die from bleeding from all seven orifices after inhaling the black medicine, while he survived by luck.

The course of events was very simple. He still didn't know why those people had captured him, let alone what kind of medicine they had injected into him.

It was this sense of powerlessness that gave him the idea of becoming a ninja, to control his own power and destiny.

Ino checked his hands but didn't see the black diamond-shaped mark of "Karma." She searched with her sensory ability and even, behind everyone's back, observed him with her Sharingan. Hikaru's body was clean, with no excess chakra.

If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. Anyway, she wasn't the Hokage. If the sky fell, there would be tall people to hold it up.

Ino estimated that for this matter to completely erupt, it would be at least on the day Isshiki Ōtsutsuki saw through the Sage of Six Paths' ruse. The Yamanaka family's mountain bandit ancestor had rushed over to mock him to his face, and old brother Isshiki had endured it. There probably wouldn't be a big problem now. She would take this child, Hikaru, back first.

Ino and the others stayed in the Land of the Moon for five days. The fleet heading to the southern continent returned in time. They took the boy who had survived the great disaster, two servants to attend to him, and a large amount of gold and silver treasures prepared by Michiru for his son, and took a ride back to the Land of Fire.

The mining of the Stone of Gelel was truly very difficult. There were ninjas sent by the Ino-Shika-Cho trio in the fleet, and the leader was the fourth Jounin of the Yamanaka family besides Inoichi, Ino, and Fū Yamanaka: Yamanaka Santa.

Yamanaka Santa frankly said that the natural environment of the southern continent was extremely harsh, with huge temperature differences between day and night, and frequent earthquakes. In short, it was not a place for people to stay.

The conditions were tough, but relying on ninjutsu and the round-the-clock work of the Land of Fire's workers, they still mined about a hundred catties of Stone of Gelel.

After refining, they could at least produce several hundred sets of Sandevistan Type-2. The combat power of Konoha ninjas would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

The fleet rested at the port of the Land of Fire for a few days, unloaded the ore, replenished supplies, and then returned to the southern continent by the same route. There were still many miners there mining ore. Now, these were all strategic materials, and stockpiling more would definitely not hurt.

Ino first arranged for Hikaru to go to the Ninja Academy. This child was not only rich but also had good aptitude. In her eyes, he was more than capable of being a genin.

Ino then found Tsunade and recounted the story of her encounter with a strong enemy in the Land of the Moon.

"That young silver-haired man is very strong. He can use the Rasengan and the Giant Rasengan, and is good at using Fire Release… Flame Bullet, Great Flame Bullet, and Needle Jizō. What's more amazing is that he seems to be able to use Sage Mode. I've never seen Sage Mode, but the state where the opponent greatly increases their attack power, defense power, and ninjutsu power, I think that's Sage Mode…"

Ino recounted the course of her battle impartially. At first, Tsunade was nonchalant, but as she listened, the anger on her face could no longer be concealed.

"That bastard! I won't let him off!"

Tsunade said viciously, almost grinding her silver teeth to pieces.

Ino was full of question marks. Who is she talking about? Do you also know about Isshiki Ōtsutsuki?

Tsunade left the room in a huff, her face so gloomy it looked like water could drip from it.

Ino didn't know why she had this reaction and quickly followed.

At this time, Jiraiya in the office was handling official business with Shikaku. With a loud "bang," Tsunade pushed the door open and walked in, then squeezed out a few words from between her teeth. "Come out with me."

Shikaku subconsciously scooted back two steps, stood in a corner, pretending to be transparent, and at the same time gave Ino a look, asking, What's wrong?

Ino shook her head. She didn't know either. She had only mentioned Koji Kashin. Why was Tsunade's reaction so violent?

Jiraiya was also at a loss. Like a quail, he followed Tsunade to the shade of a tree outside the Hokage's building. Ino and Shikaku arrived only ten seconds later and saw Tsunade punching and kicking, beating the Fifth Hokage to the ground, even knocking his shoes off.

"Tsunade, why are you hitting me?"

"If I'm going to die, you have to let me die knowing why!"

"Stop hitting, stop hitting!"

Shikaku really didn't want to get involved in their business. At this time, he waved his hand, signaling Ino to quickly go and persuade her.

Ino braced herself and went up to mediate.

"Teacher, calm down, don't be angry, don't be angry. We can talk things out."

Tsunade's eyes were full of anger. "Talk things out? This bastard! Look at him, he's still pretending to be clueless."

A bruised and swollen Jiraiya kept crying injustice. Ino pulled Tsunade away, and he finally caught his breath.

He swore to heaven and earth that he hadn't gone out to gather materials these past few days. He had just used the Telescope Jutsu to peep a dozen times. He hadn't committed any other major mistakes. They had known each other for fifty years; it wasn't the first day she knew him.

He was very straightforward and quickly confessed everything he had peeped at these past few days.

Shikaku, not far away, covered his face. This Hokage was really too shameless.

Tsunade's voice suddenly rose. "Is that what I'm talking about?"

"Huh?" Jiraiya was directly dumbfounded. Not about recent events? Then he didn't know. He had committed too many mistakes in the past. Which one was she specifically talking about?

"Do you know who Ino met in the Land of the Moon? She met a silver-haired young man," Tsunade reprimanded.

A silver-haired young man in the Land of the Moon? Who? Is it a girl? Jiraiya recalled for a moment and came up with about a dozen names, but he hadn't contacted these girls for a long time.

It was only at this moment that Ino understood the source of Tsunade's anger. Come to think of it, it was quite reasonable…

Shikaku also thought of this possibility, shook his head, and looked at Jiraiya with the eyes of someone looking at a scumbag.

Jiraiya's reaction was two beats slower than theirs. Seeing the strange looks from the three of them, he finally realized. Thinking of relationships between men and women, thinking of Tsunade's violent reaction…

A silver-haired young man? He was completely stunned.

I have a son? A biological son?!
