Evening.

Satomigaoka Lodge.

"Master."

Bai became more and more like a qualified maid, and when she saw Qingming coming back, she came over to salute and say hello as soon as possible, and then stood aside, waiting for Qingming's orders.

Kurama Yakumo also came over.

"Master."

She worshipped Qingming as her teacher, but before she could learn anything, the previous things happened, and even Qingming helped her regulate her body, and she was forced to pause.

Fortunately, it didn't make much of a difference.

"Hmm."

Qingming nodded.

Whether it's to Kurama Yakumo or Dialogue, he's more satisfied, the former as a disciple, the latter as a maid, and they're both very sensible children.

Walk over to the couch and sit down.

I looked at it.

Then nodded to Bai, the girl saluted very sensibly, and then turned around to make tea, although he was a coffee shop owner, but Qingming rarely drank coffee.

But he'll take it with him.

There is a pot, and I don't know how much space there is inside, anyway, it contains a lot of coffee, and the coffee is always hot, which can be regarded as a treasure.

Maybe it's the so-called magic weapon?

"Yakumo."

Qingming opened his mouth and shouted, beckoned to the girl again, and then patted the position next to him, and the girl came over very obediently and sat down on the sofa.

Qingming took her hand and took her pulse.

Long.

"Well, not bad."

Nodding.

Qingming is also satisfied with Kurama Yakumo's physical condition, so that she can move on to the next step of cultivation and make her change from a ninja to a Taoist.

Until then, have to abolish her chakra.

It's hard.

But no matter how difficult things are, there will be a way to solve them, the world is full of contradictions, one existence, there will always be another existence to deal with.

All things are mutually reinforcing.

Therefore, even if it is a powerful existence like Qingming, there are weaknesses, and his weaknesses are obvious, that is, Lori, young girl, and sister.

To put it simply, it's Hinata Hanabi.

She is seven years old this year, she can be a young girl, or Lori, and she is essentially a younger sister, and she is favored by Qingming in every way, so she is Qingming's weakness.

At least for now.

Let's not talk about that.

If you want to abolish a person's chakra, there is still a way, in short, to make Kurama Yakumo as pure and innocent as a newborn.

This matter is not in a hurry.

"Yakumo."

"Yes."

"Starting tomorrow, forget all about the ninja and learn from me from the beginning, first of all, study the Taoist scriptures, which is the most basic knowledge as a Taoist."

Qingming commanded.

Foundation?

It's just talking, compared to those Taoist scriptures, Qingming prefers to study all kinds of Taoism, and those magical Taoism are what interests him the most.

has the name of a Taoist priest, but what he does has little to do with the Taoist priest.

"Yes."

Kurama Yakumo didn't know so much, since Qingming had already opened her mouth to order, as an apprentice, she had no other choice than to be obedient.

……

Hinata's home.

At this time, it was already after dinner, and Hinata Hinata came to Hinata Hanabi's room, and she wanted to know her sister's thoughts about this incident.

The little girl sat on the edge of the bed.

With her head down, she looked a little lost, maybe it was because she was lectured by her father for a long time, who let her run away with Qingming without making a sound.

"Alas......"

Hinata sighed lightly and shouted again.

"Fireworks."

"Huh?"

The little girl raised her head, and she was still biting a small stick in her mouth, and when she looked closely, she found that it was a lollipop, and her eyes were blinking and blinking, which looked very cute.

“……”

How so......

It seems that her sister is not lost, not only is she not lost, but she seems to be quite happy, and her father's number of falls has not affected her mood.

That's fine.

It's better to be happy than sad, it's better to be emotionally stable than emotionally lost, and in life, it's not wrong to be strong, because many times, we can only rely on ourselves.

However, I don't know when it started, and my sister, who likes to be spoiled by her, has become more mature and stable, although she is only a seven-year-old child.

Time is passing, and people are growing up day by day, and then aging day by day.

World.

It's always changing.

Shut the door.

Walked over to my sister's bed and sat down, it seemed like it had been a long time since they had sat together like this and had a good chat, because she had graduated and her sister had gone to school.

The older you get, the less time you spend together.

Alive......

It's not easy.

"Sister."

“？”

"Sleep with me tonight."

"Hmm."

Hinata Hinata agreed to her sister's request without hesitation, but she never refused her sister's anything, and she was responsive.

Could it be that she is also a sister control?

Perhaps.

It's normal for sisters to be so close, and not only now, but also in the future, no matter what happens, no matter what situation they face, they will always be so close.

Because it's sisters.

……

Night.

Hokage's office.

Kakashi, Shizune, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Kaichi, Akido Dingza, Hinata Hinata and other Kamishinobi are all here, focusing on matters related to Kiyoshi.

Shimura Danzo is a thing of the past, and the power of the advisory group is also limited, at least not to dictate to the Hokage casually, so now is the era of Tsunade.

Therefore, this time, in addition to discussing the matter of Qingming, there is also the next development route of Konoha and it is necessary to be prepared for all possible situations.

On the one hand, it is to deal with other ninja villages, after so many years of calm, the major ninja villages have also begun to move, and Konoha has always been their priority target.

On the other hand, they also have to deal with the threat of the Akatsuki organization, and although they are well hidden, with the efforts of Jiraiya, Konoha still has a lot of information.

But the question of what their purpose is, who the leader of their organization is, and how many people they have in their organization have not yet been clarified.

Anyway, according to Jiraiya's judgment, the Akatsuki organization will be the enemy of the ninja world, and as prophesied, the entire ninja world will usher in a huge change.

And in this change, where should Konoha go, this is the question that Tsunade, who is the Hokage, needs to think about, she has to be responsible for Konoha and everyone.

It's the Hokage, after all.

"I've already made a decision on the matter of Qingming, and what needs to be discussed now is what direction Konoha should develop, which needs to be decided urgently."

Is it to continue the original strategy of peaceful development? Or is it a whole armament war?

That's a problem.

Konoha has always pursued "pacifism", and only fights back after being attacked, and there has never been a precedent for taking the initiative to attack other ninja villages.

After all, the original Hokage was a thousand-handed pillar, and his philosophy has always influenced Konoha's ninjas, and Konoha has strength, but he lacks the mentality of taking the initiative to attack.

Otherwise, the ninja world may have been unified a long time ago, and the former Konoha had this strength, especially in the early days of the three generations of Hokage's reign, Konoha's overall strength was unprecedentedly strong.

It's a pity that in the late period of the third generation of Hokage's reign, although Konoha is more prosperous than before, the overall strength has regressed a lot, and there are not a few powerful ninjas left.

A good hand of cards was played in a mess, and now Tsunade has to clean up the mess, but fortunately, the biggest obstacle is gone, and the next thing will be smoother.

"Tsunade-sama."

As a "brain", Nara Shikahisa spoke first, and his intuition told him that the current Tsunade seemed to want to play a big game, maybe it would sweep the entire ninja world.

"What do you want to achieve? Only by knowing this can we formulate a corresponding development plan, otherwise, the discussion will not be fruitful. ”
