Under the command of the Third Hokage, both ordinary Anbu members and Danzo's Root members were frantically investigating the cause and effect of this incident. In just a few short days... the entire Konoha was practically turned upside down by Root and Anbu. However, the final result was not unexpected. Despite the frenzied and extensive investigation by Anbu and Root, they still found nothing. No foreign powerhouses appeared in the village, at least no Kage-level powerhouses, and that terrifying aura, in the eyes of many... must have been emitted by at least a Kage-level existence, right?!
However, through Konoha's investigation, there were some unexpected gains. It was a somewhat surprising harvest. That is, Konoha's Anbu and Root actually caught quite a few spies from other countries in Konoha Village! Among them, spies from the other four great ninja villages were arguably the most numerous. The reason for sending so many spies to Konoha was naturally self-evident.
However, the Third Hokage was not interested in those so-called spies. What he cared about was still the aura that swept across the entire Konoha that day. What kind of powerhouse... can possess such a kingly aura? To be honest... many people believed the opponent was a Kage-level powerhouse, but the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, did not think so. Because he knew very well that even he, as the Hokage, could not emit such a terrifying aura.
"Still can't find anything at all?! Although it's not unexpected, it's still somewhat worrying. The development of events has gone beyond control." Inside the Hokage's office in Konoha Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi held a pipe in his mouth. Wisps of green smoke enveloped his face, obscuring his emotions... Although his expression hadn't changed, he was still very grim in his heart, which was clearly evident from the fact that Konoha had not lifted its Level One alert status since a few days ago.
Tap...Tap...Tap...... A faint knocking sound suddenly echoed. Hiruzen Sarutobi paused slightly, then said, "The door is not closed. Just push it open. Please come in." The wooden door to the office was pushed open, and a bearded man walked in. The man's age was actually not very old. But because he had a beard, he looked very mature... The man was dressed in jonin attire. He glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi and respectfully said, "Lord Hokage, we still haven't found anything, but according to our statistics, the aura that swept across Konoha at that time caused 78.77% of the people in Konoha Village to fall into a coma." "Among them, many buildings and walls inexplicably developed many cracks. I think... we can start investigating from these cracks. Perhaps, there might be some other unexpected gains."
On the walls, inexplicably, many cracks appeared, huh?! Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, rubbing his tired brow, then smiled helplessly, "Asuma... when we're in private, you don't need to call me Hokage. Just call me father. As for the cracks..." "Hmm... I'll arrange for Anbu members to pay more attention to this." The bearded man nodded, "Alright... Father."
Liu Chen, who was an unknown distance away, didn't know what the Third Hokage was investigating, nor did he care about such things. Even if the other party truly found out, with his power to easily overturn Konoha, would he fear anything? It simply didn't exist. At most, he just couldn't let Hinata develop in a "perverted" way for a while. Of course, Liu Chen didn't think the other party could find out. Because he hadn't left any evidence. The cracks on the walls... actually couldn't give the other party many clues.
Liu Chen, existing in a special form, looked up at the midday sky, then at the sweating little Hinata. He said, "You easily eat dozens of bowls of ramen in one meal. This much food energy intake has created your current physique, which far surpasses ordinary people." "It's just that you don't know how to utilize this physique, or rather, in the ninja world... not many people utilize this physique. But I can perfectly develop this physique of yours in the right direction."
Liu Chen's expression showed no change. He truly felt that Hinata was naturally suited for taijutsu. She could easily eat dozens of bowls of ramen! A normal adult could at most eat two bowls. Nine-year-old Hyuga Hinata, with an appetite for over a dozen adults' meals, was absolutely shocking. And with her body taking in so much energy, she hadn't properly converted it into power, which was a waste of resources. In Liu Chen's past impression, generally: big eater = taijutsu monster. And it was indeed so. The more a person ate, the more monstrous they became in taijutsu.
Hinata didn't know how to utilize this physique, which was a luxurious waste. Or perhaps, even the famous Hyuga clan thought their young lady was useless... Well... perhaps in the Naruto world, taijutsu wasn't the mainstream. Those who were powerful in taijutsu basically cultivated the Eight Inner Gates, which was like using a cheat to forcibly multiply their taijutsu. So almost no one thought that those big eaters, especially those who ate a lot but couldn't get fat, were all taijutsu cultivation monsters.
"Anyway, I really don't know any ninjutsu. Teaching this little girl taijutsu can be considered a reasonable use of her talent. Judging by her current foundation, as long as this little girl cultivates diligently, becoming a Kage-level ninja should be stable." Looking at Hinata, who was doing frog jumps around the pond with several stone bricks on her back, Liu Chen's face showed a slight smile. When he was trained by Teacher Zefa... it was also this hard, right?! It just depended on whether Hinata worked hard or not.
