Chapter 34 - Chapter 34: Not Looking Very Friendly

A few seconds later, the explosion subsided.

However, the churned-up lake water was still raging wildly.

Tsunade stood on the tree canopy holding Minato, her eyes full of amazement.

This power was stronger than any Ninjutsu she had ever seen!

Minato was relatively calm. This power was about the same as Kizaru's casual kick that destroyed a mangrove tree when he first arrived at Sabaody Archipelago.

The difference was that he needed time to charge up, while Kizaru did it with a casual kick.

Minato didn't know if he could inherit the monster physique of the One Piece world from the Kizaru figure, but judging from the fact that he inherited Hashirama's physique, it should be possible.

Swish, swish, swish...

People were moving quickly through the forest.

Soon, figures appeared near the two of them.

The newcomers were divided into two groups. One group wore grey armor, clearly Anbu who were nearby.

The other group wore Chunin vests, looking similar to common ninjas in the village, except their clothes bore a symbol resembling a ping-pong paddle.

That was the crest of the Uchiha clan. The newcomers were the Uchiha Police Force.

"Lady Tsunade."

The Anbu squad leader landed on a nearby tree and nodded slightly to Tsunade. "May I ask what happened here just now?"

"Nothing much. Just practicing Ninjutsu. The commotion was a bit loud. You can report it truthfully to the Third Hokage."

Tsunade said, then looked at the members of the Uchiha Police Force. "Sorry for causing you trouble."

"You are too polite."

The squad leader in the front was a teenager of fourteen or fifteen. He looked a bit fierce, but his tone was very humble. "Then we won't disturb you."

Soon, the two groups dispersed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also received the news from the Anbu. In fact, he had felt the previous explosion even from the Hokage building.

"Oh my... did he blow up the entire lake?"

According to the Anbu report, Tsunade was with Minato at the time.

He knew Tsunade's level; it was far from enough to cause such destruction. So it could only be Minato.

The characteristics of the explosion described by the Anbu were also the same as the laser blast he had seen before.

It seems this Light Style Bloodline Limit is much stronger than I imagined!

And this power, stronger than many S-rank Ninjutsu, is in the hands of a five-year-old child.

"Kids these days really give me a headache..."

Hiruzen took a puff on his pipe. "When you arrived, did the people from the Police Force arrive too?"

"Yes."

The Anbu squad leader nodded. "The leader was the current young patriarch, Fugaku Uchiha. We arrived at the same time."

Hiruzen asked again, "What was his reaction?"

"Not clear."

The Anbu hesitated. "He didn't look very happy, but his tone was very polite."

"..."

Hiruzen nodded knowingly, holding his pipe. "That child doesn't look very friendly."

Looking at it this way, the Uchiha clan will likely attribute the explosion just now to Tsunade.

The advantage of this is that such a powerful technique will inevitably deter the Uchiha clan and make them behave for a while.

The downside is that Minato's Light Style causes too much commotion. The Uchiha will find out sooner or later who did it. At that time, extremists might view Minato as a threat.

But this is the only suitable place in the village for Minato to train. He can't stop Minato from training just because of this.

He wouldn't be at ease letting him train outside the village. Even on the outskirts of the village, he wouldn't be at ease. After all, the Leaf has only this one Wood Style user!

Who knows if a dark-skinned Raikage might spawn randomly as soon as he leaves the village and steal Minato away...

"Sparrow, I have a mission for you."

Hiruzen glanced at his Anbu subordinate and thought for a moment. "You should have seen the child beside Tsunade today. His name is Minato Namikaze, Tsunade's disciple."

"That child possesses two Bloodline Limits simultaneously, one of which is the same Wood Style as the First Hokage."

Hiruzen said solemnly, "You should understand the importance of this matter."

Sparrow nodded. He had performed guard duties for Jinchuriki before, so he naturally understood the significance of Wood Style to the village.

"For the next period, I need you to guard that child."

Hiruzen paused. "You are allowed to reveal your Anbu identity, but do not interfere with the target's life and interpersonal relationships. Just protect the target's safety. You can coordinate with Tsunade."

"Subordinate understands!"

Sparrow felt solemn. For a guard mission of this nature, in critical moments, he would need to use his own life to shield the target.

"Mmh, go."

Hiruzen waved his hand and started working on other tasks.

Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door again.

Sparrow, who had gone to execute the mission, returned. "Lord Hokage, Lady Tsunade told me to get lost."

"...In that case, return to your unit."

Hiruzen rubbed his head, but felt relieved in his heart.

Tsunade driving the Anbu back means that Minato should already possess a certain degree of self-preservation ability.

This is good too; it saves me from worrying blindly.

At the same time, Uchiha Police Force Headquarters.

Ken Uchiha listened to the report from Fugaku, frowning slightly.

"You mean, that commotion just now was caused by Tsunade?"

"Only Senior Tsunade and a child around five or six years old were present."

Fugaku couldn't be sure who caused the commotion, but the possibility of it being Tsunade was obviously greater than a five-year-old child.

"What are the child's features?"

Fugaku recalled Minato's appearance. "Blond hair, very cute looking."

"Girl?"

"Boy."

"Oh... I remember."

Ken Uchiha nodded knowingly. "I heard before that Tsunade took a disciple. It should be that child. I remember his name is Minato Namikaze. He beat up the Third's son during the entrance exam. He's a good genius."

Saying this, he paused slightly. "By the way, are there any children from the clan enrolling in this batch?"

"No."

Fugaku shook his head. "Father, do you want the children in the clan to challenge him?"

"It's to befriend him. Also, address me by my title when working. This is the Police Force, not home."

Ken Uchiha shook his head.

As the patriarch, he naturally couldn't be as extreme as the young people in the clan.

Although he was also dissatisfied with the Hokage faction's wariness of the Uchiha, it was the Uchiha who rebelled first, so it was normal for people to hold grudges.

And in his position, he could see the gap in strength between the two sides more clearly. For the current Uchiha, the only result of rebellion would be annihilation.

So since the Third took office, he had intentionally eased the relationship between the clan and the village, but the effect hadn't been ideal.

On one hand, it was because the young people in the clan were too arrogant. On the other hand, it was because there wasn't a suitable opportunity.

The Hokage lineage was too wary of the Uchiha, making it difficult to be honest with each other.

But if hope was placed on the younger generation, it might be feasible.

Also...

He didn't remember Tsunade being this strong.

One ninjutsu shaking the Uchiha Police building a kilometer away...

Is this a joke? Does she have this kind of strength?
