Konoha Tatsuno

The next day, in the Hokage's office, a piece of information about the enrollment status of the ninja school was sent to the third generation's desk.

In just over two years, the body of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen began to show visible signs of aging.

His eyes were sunken deeper, and there were more wrinkles on his face.

His eyes quickly glanced at the information scroll, and the third generation's brows gradually widened.

Where the leaves are flying, the fire is still alive.

These new generation of teenagers will be the successors of the Will of Fire.

After reading the enrollment status, Sandai put down the information scroll in his hand.

After taking a few puffs of the pipe in his mouth, Sandai took out a crystal and began to use the telescope technique.

In the crystal, a remote image was immediately projected.

bang bang bang~

In a corner of Konoha, at the foot of a remote mountain forest, two figures were constantly moving back and forth in the air, and the sound of fierce fist and kick collisions continued to sound.

Not far from the figures of these two fierce battles, Kakashi was holding a little book in his hand and was engrossed in reading, seemingly not paying attention to the fierce battle between the two.

One of the two people fighting was wearing a blue ninja suit, and the other was wearing a gray vest with a big word "food" on the chest.

They are Kai and Tatsuno.

More than a year ago, after Tatsuno continued to input a large amount of life energy, Kai's injuries finally healed.

After lying in bed for a long time to recover from his injuries, Kai could no longer hold it in any longer.

Soon after recovering from the injury, Kai began a crazy training journey.

In order to make up for the homework he missed while recovering from his injuries, Kai dragged Tatsuno and Kakashi into the water.

They became Kai's long-term sparring partners.

Of course, this kind of sparring will naturally benefit Tatsuno and Kakashi a lot.

After all, Kai's taijutsu represents the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Every three or five days, Tatsuno and Kakashi would be pulled out by Kai to practice alone.

Most of the time, Tatsuno and Kakashi came together.

Nowadays, both Tatsuno and Kakashi are well-known idlers in Konoha Village.

Since Kakashi left the Hokage's direct subordinate ANBU, he has lived a leisurely and comfortable lazy life. Except for the occasional mission, he is basically idle.

Originally, the third generation assigned him the task of leading the team, but this guy has extremely high requirements for the students who have just graduated from the ninja school, and no one has been able to pass his experimental examination so far.

The elimination rate is [-]%.

Tatsuno, on the other hand, blatantly fished at work in the police department.

In the Konoha Police Department building, except for Tatsuno who can be seen when clocking in at work every day, no one is seen at all the rest of the time.

Pet shops, medical classes, sealing classes, libraries, etc. are all places where you might see Tatsuno, but you can't see anyone in his office for a long time.

So far, the village has not restored Tatsuno's status as a Jonin and his position as deputy captain of the Third Battalion.

Long Ye was also happy.

He still has a lot of things to do of his own, so he has time to deal with the affairs of the police department.

For example, he goes shopping with Kyoko, visits stores with Kyoko, helps Kyoko and Anko Mitarai train, studies medical ninjutsu, etc.

All the Uchihas in the police department were also happy to see Tatsuno's failure to do his job properly. Some Uchiha members who were dissatisfied and hostile to him even spread the word about his "glorious deeds" of working openly and fishing. The entire Konoha Village.

For this reason, Sagawa and Yuhi Hui were almost implicated.

As a last resort, Zhisui had to personally take the two of them on a mission to clear their names.

Boom~

Another violent collision sounded in the sky, and the strong wind spread downwards in all directions with the two people at the center, almost overturning the surrounding trees.

The figures dispersed, with Tatsuno and Kai each falling on one side.

"Okay! That's it for today. Let's go back first."

Tatsuno stood up, patted the marks on his body with some embarrassment, waved his hands towards Kai and Kakashi.

After saying that, he turned around and walked back without waiting for the two of them to react.

After getting along in private for a long time, the three of them have become close friends, and there is no need for those false politenesses when getting along.

"Kakashi, what happened to Tatsuno today? He was a little distracted during the fight."

Looking at Tatsuno's leaving back, Gai's eyes showed curiosity. He walked up to Kakashi and asked.

Kakashi put his hands in his pockets, his eyes were drooped, and his whole body seemed to be hollowed out. He said languidly: "It's not like you don't know that guy. You don't know what he is thinking about all day long."

"Hehe! That's right! Kakashi, how about we have another passionate game?"

Kai scratched his head, then turned his head and looked at Kakashi eagerly, saying with great pride.

Seeing this, Kakashi raised his eyelids slightly, ignored Kai, turned around, took the little book and walked away while reading.

"Hey! Kakashi"

Behind him, Gai began to pester Kakashi.

After parting ways with Gai and Kakashi, Tatsuno looked up in the direction of the Hokage Building, and disappeared in a flash.

In the Hokage's office, Sandai frowned slightly as he looked at the crystal projection that had lost all trace of Tatsuno.

Over the past two years, he would always use telescopes to observe Long Ye from time to time.

Sometimes, Tatsuno would give him face and let the third generation observe.

But sometimes, Tatsuno would disappear instantly, making it impossible to track him using telescopes.

With a slight sigh, Sandai terminated the telescope technique.

He still can't see clearly about Tatsuno.

He looks easy-going and harmless, but on the inside he is extremely unruly.

Three generations can’t control this person!

The edge of the dead forest.

Sa~

A sound broke through the air, and Long Ye appeared in the underground laboratory.

In the laboratory, more than a dozen large petri dishes were filled with pale clones.

Among them, the clones in two petri dishes were obviously different from the other clones.

Both clones are fully mature, and one of them, Hao Ran, is the previous Ksitigarbha.

At this moment, their closed eyes were trembling slightly.

Suddenly, the eyes of the two clones opened at the same time.

A pair of three magatama sharingan eyes and a pair of white eyes.

Looking at the two clones who woke up at the same time, Tatsuno showed an unconcealable smile on his face.

After more than two years of careful cultivation, his plan finally took a crucial step.

Using clones to continuously devour each other regardless of the cost, Tatsuno successfully cultivated two sacrifices that could be used to steal the heart.

The two clones in the petri dish are the clones that successfully captured the heart of the sacrificer. They are the real clones that can truly independently manipulate the clones and extract chakra independently.

"Haha, it seems that the plan over there can keep up!"

Looking at the successfully cultivated clone, Tatsuno had a bright smile on his face and murmured in a low voice.
