In the skies of Konoha, many messenger hawks flew out, heading towards other countries.
Among the Ninja underground, many Ninja also began to take action.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Since the current opponents were not core members of the Akatsuki, Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, and other Chunin who had only recently been promoted, began their leadership journey.
It was clear that Konoha had a deep awareness of the crisis.
The troop movement had begun.
Medical Ninja served as logistics in the rear, while Intelligence Department Ninja verified information at the front.
This demonstrated Konoha's operational capability.
Tsunade, as the Hokage, was doing quite well.
Her temperament and efficiency were even greater than the Third Hokage's.
This operation was under Shikamaru's overall command, proposed by Shikaku.
It also served as an action to cultivate Shikamaru.
"Eh, don't I need to make a move? With my ability, I can give them the greatest possible assistance."
Satoru looked at Tsunade in confusion.
He had thought that Tsunade would still let him take action in this extermination battle, but he didn't expect her not to.
Tsunade heard him and said, "I have a premonition that the Akatsuki matter won't be that simple, and a war is probably not far off. Therefore, we need to cultivate the abilities of the new generation of Ninja. If you go, what's the difference between you and the Hokage going to eliminate small fries?"
This was indeed true.
He was, after all, a former Acting Hokage.
For such a small extermination battle to require a Hokage-level Ninja to act, Konoha might as well jump out of the Five Great Ninja Villages and compare itself to small Ninja villages.
"You have a point. Then why did you call me here this time?"
Satoru agreed wholeheartedly.
The main act always appears at the critical moment.
"The Akatsuki's goal is the Jinchuriki, so I need you to boost Naruto's combat power.
We can't protect him every single moment; he needs to grow."
Tsunade said.
"Eh, isn't Kakashi already teaching him, and didn't Jiraiya-sama teach him quite well too?" Satoru wondered.
Bang!
Tsunade slapped the table: "Don't think I don't know, your current ability is much stronger than a few years ago, isn't it? Your Ninjutsu called 'Battlefield Simulation Training' should be useful for the current Naruto. You're not trying to slack off, are you?"
From his ability to confront two core Akatsuki Organization members and even capture one alive, Satoru's ability was definitely much stronger than before.
"…" Satoru: "It's alright, it should be useful…"
Of course it's useful! He's been improving every year!
It's just that he still needs to research Ninjutsu, so he can only use Shadow Clone for that.
It's pretty much the same.
"Let's go. Kakashi said Naruto's new Ninjutsu is complete, but there seems to be some problem with it."
Tsunade leaped out of the window.
Shizune immediately followed with her pig, Tonton.
Whoosh!
..."Kakashi-sensei, why are there so many birds in the sky?"
When Tsunade made her move, Naruto keenly noticed the messenger hawks flying in the sky.
He stopped his training movements and asked Kakashi with confusion.
Kakashi, holding make-out paradise, said, "Hm, Satoru arrested two Akatsuki Organization members and obtained a lot of information from them. These messenger hawks are communicating with other countries."
"Eh, as expected of Uncle Satoru, he's so amazing!" Naruto recalled every Akatsuki member he had encountered.
Even their squad, plus Kakashi-sensei, couldn't capture anyone, but Uncle Satoru captured two by himself.
He had always known Uncle Satoru was capable since he was a child, and he was right.
"But if it were me, using my new Ninjutsu,
I would definitely be able to take down an Akatsuki member."
Then Naruto thought of his newly developed Ninjutsu and immediately regained his confidence.
Kakashi and Yamato smiled when they heard Naruto's words.
Naruto's new Ninjutsu was indeed remarkable.
"Is that so? You're very confident. Then let's see your new Ninjutsu."
Satoru's voice entered their ears.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Satoru followed Tsunade, walking towards them with a smile.
When Naruto saw him, he became excited: "Uncle Satoru, I heard you admirably dealt with two core Akatsuki members, that's incredible!"
"Such a trivial matter doesn't need to be mentioned. After all, I'm not like some people who constantly cling to make-out paradise and just don't train."
Satoru's mouth curved into a smile, then he looked at Kakashi and teased him.
"No, who are'some people' referring to?"
"Whoever knows, knows."
Tsunade said impatiently, "Enough chatter, let me see your new Ninjutsu, Naruto."
"Yes, Grandma Tsunade."
Speaking of this, Naruto became excited.
Kakashi and Yamato stepped back a few paces.
Then Naruto created two Shadow Clones, and a Rasengan was formed, into which he injected Wind Release nature transformation.
Buzz!
As soon as it appeared, the surrounding air caused a buzzing sound.
That was a passive effect caused by high-density Chakra rotating at high speed.
Gusts of wind emanated from the Chakra orb in Naruto's hand, which resembled a Shuriken, as its center.
It blew the hair of several people.
"This is my new Ninjutsu, Wind Release: Rasenshuriken."
Naruto said excitedly.
He appeared very proud.
Only Tsunade frowned and asked, "What's the manifestation? Show me its power."
"Eh, how do I see it? Where's my opponent?" Naruto was immediately confused.
"Attack me. Let me see if the new Ninjutsu of a rising star can surpass Kakashi's Raikiri,
and see if he can teach a disciple who surpasses his master."
Satoru said with a smile.
From his perception, this Chakra density was indeed unprecedented.
And it was Chakra operating at high speed.
It must be said, Minato was truly a genius.
Upon hearing this, Kakashi immediately stopped him: "No, this technique's power is too great, and Naruto can't control its power after releasing it. If he's not careful…"
Yamato also nodded continuously at the side.
Only those who had seen the power of that technique knew how strong it was.
But before he could finish speaking, Satoru formed hand signs and slammed his hands onto the ground with a flourish.
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall - Modified."
Rumble!
A mountain rose from the ground, lifting Satoru and Tsunade higher and higher.
It only stopped when the two of them looked at Naruto and the others, who appeared as small as dung beetles.
On the left side of the Earth-Style Wall, a rock formation resembling a separated screen appeared.
"Kakashi, no matter what, I was once a Hokage, not a middle-aged single dog ruined by make-out paradise like you.
Don't underestimate me too much!"
Satoru said, hands in his pockets, his misty blue eyes looking down at Kakashi.
Tsunade stood at the side, looking at the giant Earth-Style Wall beneath her feet and the few people as small as dung beetles, her eyes darting around.
This Earth Release was already superior to Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the Third Hokage's son.
It should be known that Sarutobi Shinnosuke was a famous Earth Release master recognized by various countries, while Satoru was a Genjutsu master.
She felt that she had indeed neglected a lot during her years away.
Otherwise, if she had worked harder, she wouldn't feel so much pressure facing the Akatsuki.
