Swish!
A phantom figure shot out from Satoru's forehead and began to fly towards the sky.
"This feeling is really not bad."
Satoru flew in the sky, looking at himself below.
He felt that his perception had changed.
In the Spiritualization state, he felt that his perception had become stronger.
Satoru, in his Spiritualization state, formed hand seals and released his perception.
It passed through the streets of Konoha, shot out of the Konoha Great Gate, and became much more powerful than his previous linear perception.
His perception of the environment became sharper.
"In the Spiritualization state, it is indeed possible to form hand seals and refine Chakra, and some Ninjutsu can also be used."
However, looking at his motionless body below, he felt that this move wasn't very appealing either.
Satoru tried some other operations.
He could form hand seals to use various abilities, including perception Ninjutsu, and could also lend Chakra.
This ability was good.
He landed his body on a wild boar outside Konoha.
Oink oink!
The wild boar's wild eyes immediately became intelligent.
It even let out two grunts.
"The control ability of this Spiritualization state is also good. For enemies, it is indeed a great trump card."
Controlling an enemy's body and then using it to kill enemies who are not wary of their companions is simply a Ninja's trump card-level Ninjutsu.
For Satoru, it was also important material for studying soul power.
The evolution of Heart Steel required this kind of material.
Soul power and physical power have always been important foundations for Ninja.
Now that he finally had access to the sealing scroll, he finally had enough material to conduct in-depth research.
He then exited the wild boar's body and returned to his own.
"How can I incorporate the abilities of the Spiritualization Technique into other Ninjutsu?"
This was the problem Satoru was pondering, and also the difficulty in Ninjutsu development.
The nature transformation of the Spiritualization Technique was also a Yin Release nature transformation, but incorporating this nature transformation into other nature transformations was truly difficult.
It was similar to developing kekei genkai.
This was Satoru's feeling.
Developing kekei genkai was the combination of two nature transformations to form a new nature transformation. The idea of incorporating elements of this into other Ninjutsu was similar to developing kekei genkai...
The construction of Konoha was still ongoing.
Thump thump thump!
Not only residents, but also students like Konohamaru, in addition to their training, would help build schools and other things.
In the residential area, Ichiraku Ramen spent money and was the first to set up its storefront.
Satoru didn't even need to use his Hokage authority to pull resources or anything.
Even though Konoha was in a difficult period of reconstruction, Ichiraku Ramen never lacked customers.
The same was true for its branch stores.
"Hey, that Satoru guy has certainly gotten a lot busier since he became Hokage!"
Teuchi said to Ayame.
"It's alright, he's just the Acting Hokage. Once the true Fifth Generation returns, he can go back to his old relaxed life."
Ayame said with a smile.
She didn't complain about her husband being too busy; instead, she was proud.
Moreover, her husband's interaction with the family was actually quite frequent.
Even after becoming the Acting Hokage, he would still care about the shop, the children, and other family matters every day.
Though it was a little less than before.
"I heard from Satoru that you two are preparing for your second child?" Teuchi said with a smile.
Ayame looked at the customers eating noodles, her face blushing, and said, "I'm working, Dad, but we are indeed preparing for our second child. He mentioned before that he wanted several children, and I think so too."
Satoru had said before that he wanted at least four children.
Recently, they brought it up again.
And Tenyu, Maki had grown up. As long as they managed their studies well, they could indeed free up their hands to have one or two more children to raise.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
It wasn't like they couldn't afford them.
"Haha, as long as you two decide, I also hope for more grandchildren."
Teuchi finished making the ramen and said with a smile... Satoru decided to have a second child now, naturally because he felt that with Tsunade's personality, she might just quit.
With more leverage, things would naturally be much easier.
Plus, having four children was something he had always wanted to do.
It was simply going with the flow.
"Report! Sato Nojiri, the Minister of the Land of Fire, was assassinated, and the squad responsible for guarding the Minister also all died.
According to headquarters intelligence, it is suspected to be an internal family struggle."
Satoru was processing documents when an intelligence Ninja quickly reported an important situation from outside.
He took the intelligence report.
It contained the reason for this intelligence trip.
It detailed information about the Minister, the Konoha Ninja responsible for guarding him, and some other information.
"Have you found out which force was responsible?"
Satoru asked.
Daring to assassinate the Minister of the Land of Fire and succeeding, that ability was not small.
The Minister had private soldiers, and also guards hired from Konoha, so he was quite powerful.
Could it be the Akatsuki Organization again?
"We didn't find much information. From the on-site investigation, it seems that the perpetrators were two people.
There were traces of Ninjutsu nearby,
but they all belonged to the Minister's guards. We haven't collected any information about other Shinobi Countries being involved."
The intelligence Ninja said.
Just two people. As soon as this point came out, Satoru knew it was the Akatsuki Organization.
The Akatsuki Organization's current goal was to earn money, to acquire funds. The internal conflicts between various countries were precisely the blind spot for their Shinobi Country.
Generally, the major Shinobi Countries would not accept missions to assassinate ministers of other countries.
Otherwise, it would be the fuse for war.
They would not do things without benefit.
Just like Konoha, they generally would not accept missions to assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Water or similar tasks.
"Order Hyuga Tokuma's squad to investigate. They must find the culprits.
However, the enemy is probably very strong. Their objective is only intelligence, not combat."
Satoru said.
The Akatsuki Organization was quite good at exploiting loopholes.
They had even discovered the gaps between Shinobi Countries.
"At the same time, warn the Land of Exchange within the Land of Fire.
Any assassination missions targeting high-ranking officials of the Land of Fire that are posted will be shut down."
Besides the Shinobi Countries, there were other powerful Ninja, but the strongest were always the Five Great Ninja Villages.
The Land of Exchange was no exception.
The Akatsuki Organization used this channel to access difficult-to-reach channels and accept missions.
Satoru also knew it was impossible to completely suppress them.
The 'underground' in 'underground Land of Exchange' wasn't there for nothing.
But tightening their funding sources was also normal... While Satoru was methodically handling internal affairs of Konoha Village, in Tanzaku Town.
Swish!
Yakushi Kabuto used a Chakra scalpel to stop Tsunade, who was treating Orochimaru.
"Kabuto, give me a reason."
Orochimaru wasn't angry; instead, he asked him.
Kabuto pushed up his glasses, his hands seriously watching Tsunade, who had backed away.
"I am also a medical Ninja. A medical Ninja would never emit killing intent while healing."
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru looked at Tsunade.
"Tsunade, it's a shame we were once teammates, and I even wanted to help you revive Dan and Nawaki. I didn't expect you to be so ruthless."
When he heard Kabuto's words, he immediately understood.
He had been too hasty; otherwise, he would have noticed.
Tsunade trembled, a killing intent on her face: "Although I really want them to be revived, they definitely wouldn't want that.
So..."
Her eyes burst with fierce light.
