Chapter 247: Two years later
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, two years had already passed.
After creating the forest on the border of the Wind Country and the Fire Country, Yeruashi had not gone out again and stayed in Konoha all the time, mainly resting and training his physical body.
During these two years, Uchiha Shisui became famous in the ninja world under the name Shunshin no Shisui and advanced to the rank of Elite Jounin at the age of thirteen.
In addition.
Kakashi spent over half a year training in real time at Yeruashi's Time Domain to raise his chakra volume to Kage level and meet the minimum requirement for Senjutsu practice, and then spent several months developing the initial Sage Body and transplanting the Mangekyou. Obito's Sharingan.
Relying on the initial Sage Body and the Kamui of Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan, in one of Konoha's encounters with Kumogakure, Kakashi crushed the Hachibi's Jinchuriki, Killer B, and became famous throughout the ninja world.
After that.
Kakashi officially assumed the position of Captain of the First Squadron of Shadow Guards formed by Yeruashi.
The Second Squadron, for the moment, has no Captain, and the Vice-Captain is a ninja of the Yamanaka Clan, specialized in torturing and obtaining information from prisoners or the bodies of dead enemies.
The Captain of the Third Squadron was Uchiha Shisui, and Yeruashi gave him the sword Kiba, one of the seven swords of the mist.
The Captain of the Fourth Squadron was Nohara Rin, and the Vice-Captain was Shizune.
It is worth mentioning that Tsunade repeatedly lost bets and was finally forced to take the position of advisor to the Hokage, now she helps Yeruashi cope with the daily affairs of Konoha.
The captain of the Fifth Squadron was Konan, originally this position was prepared for Uchiha Itachi, but now he is too young and not yet ready to take even the position of Vice-Captain, and Konan spent these two years at Yeruashi's side and gained his full trust.
Of course.
When the former Amegakure ninja took over as one of the Shadow Guard captains, Shisui, Rin and the others were outraged by this, but Yeruashi quickly suppressed all doubts.
The Sixth Squadron was left without a Captain, and their Vice-Captain is Kurenai. It is worth noting that at this point, Kurenai also became an Elite Jounin of Konoha, she was promoted to this rank at the age of sixteen, before receiving the approval and recognition of most of the Jounins of Konoha.
The reason for this was quite simple, Genjutsu.
Kurenai is very talented in Genjutsu, and after awakening the Tenseigan and advancing to the Six Paths level, Yeruashi's Genjutsu and spiritual abilities reached the highest level, so he was able to guide Kurenai's practice in the most effective way possible, moreover, he mastered the Cell Stimulation Jutsu and significantly increased his chakra volume.
During the hard training, Kurenai's strength gradually reached the level of an Elite Jounin, even Uchiha Shisui would have to make a great effort to cope with him without using his Mangekyou Sharingan.
The seventh squadron still had no Captain, and the Vice-Captain was a civilian ninja.
He had received the Samehada, one of the seven swords of the mist, from Yeruashi, and had mastered it surprisingly well, approaching Kage level in fairly short order.
The captain of the Eighth Squadron was Inoichi Yamanaka.
The Ninth Squadron is left without a Captain, and the Vice-Captain is Might Guy, who already became Jounin at the age of sixteen. Although Guy is inferior to Kakashi and the rest of the recognized geniuses, at this point he was able to open the sixth gate and has enough qualifications to become Vice-Captain.
In total, five of the seven mist swords were distributed, leaving only the two most difficult to access, which so far no one has been able to master properly - Kabutowari and Kubikiribocho.
...
Konoha.
On the huge rock behind Konoha, the faces of the Hokage were carved in order, starting with the First Hokage ,Senju Hashirama, and ending with the Fifth Hokage, Hatake Yeruashi.
At this time, a man was sitting on the Fifth Hokage's head.
He was dressed in a Hokage robe and calmly looked down at the thriving Konoha below, it could be seen that the village had become significantly larger than it was two years ago.
Whoosh!
At that moment.
A figure appeared behind Yeruashi.
"Hokage-sama."
It was Uchiha Shisui, who looked at Yeruashi with respect and knelt down, taking out a small box wrapped in intricate Fuuinjutsu patterns.
In the past, Uchiha Shisui sought to surpass Yeruashi, but gradually, when he became world famous as a ninja and became the Fifth Hokage, this idea disappeared without a trace.
Especially.
When the Hokage's advisors, Shikaku and Tsunade, began to effectively implement Yeruashi's policies, quickly freeing Konoha from the negative effects of the war and bringing it to unprecedented prosperity, Shisui's respect for Yeruashi surpassed even the respect for the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan.
Such is Shisui's character and outlook, for him, the people come before the family.
"The resistance of Hoshigakure has been crushed and we have full control of Bear Country. The Daimyo of the Bear Country has already signed an agreement to join the Bear Country to the Fire Country and become the Bear Region.... According to this agreement, he will hold the position of Daimyo of the Bear Region."
Uchiha Shisui quickly described the situation and handed the box to Yeruashi: "This is the source of Hoshigakure's power, a meteorite called 'star' by the locals, it contains extremely evil power, so it was decided to seal it"
"I understand."
"You can go now."
Yeruashi didn't look back, he was still looking at Konoha.
Shisui nodded, his figure blurred and disappeared, and behind Yeruashi, a box with a sealed 'star' was left on the ground.
"Hokage-sama~"
The voice came again, but this time not from behind, but from somewhere below.
A crowd of girls gathered near the Hokage Rock, all of them shouting and waving their hands vigorously, trying to get the attention of Yeruashi, who was sitting on top.
Yeruashi's gaze swept over the village and settled on the girls, he shook his head, stood up and waved at them.
The atmosphere immediately exploded.
The loud cries of the girls reached even the noisy streets of downtown Konoha, and many people looked in the direction of the Hokage Rock and smiled helplessly.
"Hokage-sama is too popular..."
"This is our Fifth Hokage! My daughter also loves Hokage-sama very much, but it's a pity, she's only ten years old now, otherwise, I'd let her chase Hokage-sama too!"
"Haha, dream on!"
Someone laughed and said, "Can your daughter be compared to the Jounins Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai? Even they are still working hard at it!"
The woman rolled her eyes and said mercilessly, " Shut up, how can a lout like you know anything about true and pure love?"
