Chapter 254: The New Generation.
"It's alright. Hiruzen Sarutobi is very cooperative and continues to live a life of luxury. He has just been stripped of the power to summon Jonin and participate in high-level meetings."
Ah Fei lowered his head and reported the facts in a calm tone.
Uchiha Izuna's heart finally settled down, and he slowly nodded: "That's good, that's good."
What he feared most was that his disciples would kill each other for power.
For Hiruzen Sarutobi to exit the stage so peacefully is already the best possible outcome.
At least he didn't end up dying in office.
"hehe....."
Tobirama Senju murmured, "It seems Madara and I do have a successor."
"If, as I expected, that junior named Danzo is so eager to exonerate me and Madara not out of any kind of admiration, but rather to pave the way for future wars."
Afei nodded slightly: "Currently, intelligence is limited, so we cannot draw a complete conclusion for the time being... However, according to the news from the front lines, the Sixth Hokage Danzo is indeed secretly mobilizing troops, and the signs of preparing for war are very obvious."
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's lips curled into an arrogant smile.
War? It's just the right time.
His long-planned grand scheme was just missing a supervisor who could keep things in check.
However, there is no suitable candidate at the moment.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
"No, I have to go check it out!"
Kushina heard several muffled, distorted sounds coming from the courtyard, and the two people's movements seemed to be getting louder...
Kushina panicked and ran straight to the kitchen.
"Kushina, I advise you not to go."
At this moment, Nine-Tailed Buddha spoke.
Kushina was taken aback: "Kushina, why?"
Nine Lama crossed his arms and said, "It's best not to go."
Kushina, however, did not listen.
But when she pushed open the kitchen door, panting, everything was already quiet inside.
A sweet aroma mixed with the scent of butter and baking wafted over.
It also carried a faint, ambiguous aftertaste that was hard to define.
She saw her teacher, Wanci, with his back to her, casually fiddling with the cake in the oven.
As for Tsunade, his wife, she was nowhere to be seen. Only the sound of rushing water could be heard from behind the frosted glass door of the bathroom.
"Huh? Kushina, why are you running so fast? What happened?"
Wanci turned around upon hearing the noise, feigning a gentle smile as he asked.
"Teacher, I...I think I just heard..."
Kushina blinked and scratched her head in confusion.
That's strange. I clearly heard my teacher's wife's voice just now, so how come I only have my teacher left when I came in?
Was the teacher's wife always taking a shower?
Why take a shower so early in the morning?
"Alright, if there's nothing else, go and call Minato and the others in."
Wanci reached out and ruffled her hair, his tone so natural it was as if nothing had happened.
Although Kushina was still full of doubts, seeing her teacher's open and honest expression, she had no choice but to swallow her questions, obediently nod, and turn to run away.

After taking office, Danzo began to work diligently to eliminate dissidents and prepare for the Third Shinobi World War.
At the same time, he secretly sent Orochimaru out.
They intend to harm the Jinchūriki of Kumogakure!
And indeed, it succeeded. Orochimaru successfully caused the Eight-Tails to go berserk, causing enormous damage to the Hidden Cloud Village.
The Cloud Village ninjas, who were originally eager to fight on the border, were suddenly forced to retreat back to the village due to the death of their Jinchuriki.
The border crisis was thus resolved.
However, no one knew it was Konoha who had done it. Everyone thought it was a coincidence, and besides, Brubi was already dead, so there was no way to verify it.
(This Cloud Village Jinchuriki also has another name in the original work: Fukai.)
Konoha
When Manji looked at the newspaper and saw the news of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki's death, he realized that it was most likely Konoha's doing.
A dark seal also appeared on Wanci's forehead.
There's actually no need to add a Yin seal, because Wanci himself will never age or die.
But looking at Sakumo Hatake, who is the same age as him, he already has wrinkles.
I added 10,000 times to avoid making people think something was wrong.
The entrance to Konoha Ninja Academy.
Manji and Tsunade happened to pass by
It was the day of the Ninja Academy's entrance ceremony, and the entrance was packed with people.
"I really miss those days..."
Manji looked at the ninja school and sighed.
"Do you still miss the days at the Ninja Academy?" Tsunade asked, raising an eyebrow.
Wan smiled but did not answer.
It's not that I miss the Ninja Academy; what I miss is the speech I gave there back then.
Back then, I was the First Hokage, and I remember Danzo asking me what my secret to success was...
Wow, time flies... Before we knew it, we were already in this era.
"Yo! Man-tsui, you're here too."
There came Sakumo Hatake leading Kakashi here.
Manji glanced at Kakashi and smiled, "You're so old now, it's time for you to join the Ninja Academy."
Sakumo Hatake patted Kakashi's head: "Quickly greet Uncle Wan. He's the one who gave you your name."
Kakashi said obediently, "Hello, Uncle Wan."
"This is Princess Tsunade, and also Uncle Man's wife," Sakumo Hatake introduced.
"Hello, Aunt Tsunade!" Kakashi greeted her politely.
Kakashi looked at the two of them, somewhat puzzled. Were these two really the same age as his father?
Her own father was getting old, while the two of them looked like a young couple on the street.
Wan nodded repeatedly: "Mm."
Tsunade nodded slightly.
At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived, a pipe dangling from his lips.
"Fifth Generation, it's been a long time."
He smiled proactively ten thousand times.
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and nodded, looking at Manji and Tsunade: "I'm here to see my son off."
Tsunade's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Old man, what son? Isn't your son, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, already a Jonin?"
Manji's eyes flashed as he looked at the child behind Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Sarutobi Asuma.
Hiruzen Sarutobi blushed: "These past few years I haven't had much to do, you know, so I've been with Biwako... I never expected to have a child so late in life!"
Tsunade's face showed shock: "Are you sure this child is yours? Can you still have children?"
Tsunade, being straightforward, said exactly what she wanted to say.
Sakumo Hatake and Manji both looked embarrassed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened further: "Tsunade, what are you saying? Of course he's her biological son!"
Tsunade also felt that saying this might be too hurtful to her teacher, so she simply chuckled dryly and let it go.
Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't very angry. After all, she was Tsunade, and also his disciple. Tsunade's straightforward personality had always annoyed him in the past.
"Alright, the ninja academy entrance exams are about to begin. Let's go in."
Sakumo Hatake patted Kakashi on the shoulder and said.
Soon, Wanci saw many familiar faces.
Like Kurenai Yuhi, Rin Nohara, Might Guy, Hayate Gekko, Shiranui...
"Huh? Where's Obito?"
Wanci Weiwei was slightly puzzled.
Oh, right, it seems Obito Uchiha was late for the entrance ceremony, so naturally he can't see it now.
