After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

Hokage's office.

"Hokage, this is the plan that the six of us have discussed." Yuhi Shinku said to Sarutobi Hiruzen with respect.

"Okay, Shinku, I chose you to be the team captain because I value your wisdom and decisiveness. However, I still want to emphasize again that you must protect these children as much as possible. They are the future of the village." Sarutobi Hiruzen particularly emphasized this point.

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Yuhi Shinku responded with a serious expression.

"Okay, go back and inform your team members of tomorrow's gathering time and location. Keep it as confidential as possible. After all, we don't know which people in the village have been infiltrated by other villages. If we can ensure the minimum level of leaks, we can add an extra layer of protection for your safety."

Yuhi Shinku took her leave, and just as she walked to the door, holding the door handle and preparing to open it, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again: "I'll notify Yusuke."

"Yes." Xihi Shinku replied, then gently opened the door and left with firm steps.

He knew the importance of this mission, and every detail was related to the safety of the team members. He had to convey the plan to his teammates, and at the same time, he had to make careful arrangements to ensure the smooth progress of the mission.

Yusuke was still asleep when he heard a slight knock on the door. He got up dazedly and opened the door, only to find that there was no one outside. He scratched his head, thinking it was his illusion. When he was about to turn around and go back to the house, he caught a glimpse of a dark figure standing outside the window, facing him.

Yusuke was startled and walked forward to open the window. He saw an ANBU member in black night clothes standing there respectfully.

"Master Yusuke, Master Hokage will be waiting for you in the Forest of Death this afternoon," the Anbu member whispered.

"Okay, I'll be there after dinner, you go back first." Yusuke tried to keep his voice calm.

"Yes." The Anbu member responded, then disappeared from Yusuke's sight like a ghost.

Yusuke took a deep breath, washed up quickly, and then had lunch with his parents. After informing his parents, he walked out of the house and headed towards the Forest of Death.

Forest of death.

"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall."

A huge earthen barrier sprang up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, but in a flash it was cut into several sections, and then with a loud bang, it collapsed.

"Yusuke, now ordinary defensive ninjutsu can no longer resist your bloodline." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his disciple with satisfaction. Although he did not teach Yusuke much personally, the pride of being a master still filled his heart.

"Thanks to the teacher's careful training, I have achieved what I have today." Yusuke said sincerely. If it weren't for the three-month devilish training given to him by Yuan Mo, it would probably take a long time for him to reach his current level of strength.

"After observing for a period of time, I found that your thread escape technique has unlimited potential. Have you encountered any problems in the development of this technique?" asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Not yet. I feel like my strength has reached a bottleneck. If I want to go further, I'm afraid I can only raise my bloodline to another level." Yusuke knows that the body, mind and ability must match each other for the fruit to awaken. However, the awakening of the string-string fruit requires constant manipulation of others for entertainment.

Although I don't know whether his String-String Fruit is the same as the one in One Piece, this is the only way I know of, but it cannot be achieved in Konoha.

"Teacher, after the escort mission is over, can I stay on the battlefield?" You Jie suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Why, you want to gain merit in battle?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in confusion. Based on his understanding of Yusuke, if Yusuke really wanted to gain merit in the battlefield, he might have gone with Tsunade the last time she went to war.

"My line escape actually has another ability that I have never dared to use easily." Yusuke's expression became a little serious.

"What ability?" Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but be curious. Yusuke actually had an ability that he didn't dare to use.

"Sensei, could you please call a few ANBU members over here?"

Hearing Yusuke's request, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and gestured in a direction. In an instant, several Anbu descended from the sky like ghosts and half-knelt in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Well, now I can say that they are all trustworthy partners."

"My dear colleagues, I am going to use this ability on you next. Please don't mind. I can assure you that I have no ill intentions."

Yusuke said apologetically as he looked at the ANBU in front of him.

Several ANBU nodded in understanding.

"Line Shield·Parasite Line!"

Yusuke suddenly put his hands together, and dozens of thin threads shot out from his fingernails like lightning, entangled various parts of the bodies of several Anbu at an astonishing speed.

After the connection was successful, Yusuke's fingers moved slightly, and several Anbu were surprised to find that their bodies moved uncontrollably. Sarutobi Hiruzen was so stunned that he even forgot to smoke the cigarette he had just lit.

"You can try to struggle." Yusuke said.

Then, he increased his control, and several Anbu struggled hard, but to little effect. One of the Anbu carrying a short sword drew out his sword and slashed at the nearest Anbu member. When the sword was about to hit, Yusuke stopped the action, and several Anbu froze in strange postures.

"Okay, Yusuke, reel in the line." Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Yusuke with a complicated expression.

"Excuse me, colleagues." Yusuke untied the five-colored thread and apologized to several Anbu.

Several Anbu shook their heads, but the look in their eyes when they looked at Yusuke was filled with more and more fear.

"The reason you want to go to the battlefield is because you can control the actions of others?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, "Your ability is somewhat similar to the puppetry of the Sand Ninja."

"I haven't compared them, so I'm not sure." Yusuke touched his head.

"How many people can you control at one time?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the few ANBU who had not left yet and analyzed Yusuke's abilities.

"I discovered this by accident, but I can feel that as long as I can use this ability to the fullest, I might be able to develop my bloodline limit more thoroughly."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment, looking at Yusuke with a complicated expression. He was trying to play with people's hearts in order to improve himself.

He called an ANBU and brought a blank scroll. Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen used earth escape to build a table and picked up a pen to write.

"After you complete this task, give this scroll to Tsunade." After writing, Sarutobi Hiruzen made a seal and handed the scroll to Yusuke.

"Yes, I will definitely pass it on." Yusuke understood that Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed.

"Let's go. Your mistress has prepared a sumptuous meal for you tonight to see you off."

"Does the teacher not need to work today?"

"With Haruna here, I can relax once in a while."
