Bai Yu immediately activated his "Sixth Sense".
Within the range of perception, Kushina is as obvious as a spotlight in the dark night, and the surrounding energy field is very active.
But what Bai Yu noticed was another unknown energy force, which seemed to be peeping here.
"Could it be the Third Hokage's 'Telescope Technique'?!" Bai Yu reacted with a thought in his heart.
This is a technique that uses a crystal ball with a special material to monitor a specific person from a distance. It requires mastering the chakra characteristics of the person.
Obviously, the third generation has mastered the chakra characteristics of someone in the crowd and can monitor him at any time.
Therefore, other people within the monitoring range were also monitored.
"I haven't had close contact with the Third Hokage yet. He doesn't understand my chakra characteristics and shouldn't be able to monitor me on his own. Besides, I haven't been worth monitoring before..."
Bai Yu asked himself that since time traveling, he had been cautious and had not done anything strange. What he said was in line with the mainstream values of the Will of Fire, and he was completely politically correct.
...
Just as Bai Yu thought, in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was watching the battle using the 'Telescope Technique'.
As the best candidate for the next Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, Kushina mastered Kushina's chakra characteristics when she came to Konoha and will monitor her in the future.
But this time, he mainly wanted to see the outstanding talents of the new generation.
The quality of students in this class is very high.
Hinata Tsuchima, Sarutobi Keita, Namikaze Minato, Yagami Shiroha...
Especially Namikaze Minato, who was born as a commoner and is suspected to have the blood of the Senju clan. Although it has not been confirmed, his growth rate is too fast!
"Unlike ordinary people's reaction nerves, super instant reaction ability, and extremely high ideological awareness." This is Sarutobi Hiruzen's inner evaluation of Namikaze Minato.
"Good medical ninja talent, strong chakra control ability, good physical strength, good practical skills, and ideological awareness comparable to an adult. This child is very much like Tsunade." Sarutobi Hiruzen commented on Bai Yu Not low either.
Although Bai Yu defeated Minato, in the third generation's opinion, Bai Yu seemed to have used the skills of precise chakra control in medical ninjutsu and had good fighting talent. However, as long as Minato is guided by a strong person, he obviously has higher development potential in combat.
Looking at the picture displayed on the crystal ball, Kushina was talking to Bai Yu, and Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed secretly.
"Why......"
Now Kushina has not yet become the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, so there is no need to monitor her closely. He only needs to have a general understanding of Kushina's movements.
The most important thing is that above him, the Third Hokage, there is also the "Emperor" Uzumaki Mito who has a higher status.
Because he did not send the main force to support the country of Uzumaki, the Uzumaki clan was destroyed, and Uzumaki Mito was already dissatisfied.
Now Mito's granddaughter Kushina has come to Konoha and is closely monitored even before she becomes the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, which will obviously disgust Mito.
To be fair, not rescuing allies during the Uzumaki Country incident was not a good choice. It betrayed the Uzumaki clan's affection for Konoha.
But for Konoha, the power was preserved.
His choice was rational.
"Mito-sama...I will try my best to let Kushina live her life peacefully under my protection."
"Iori Shiroha and Namikaze Minato are both extremely excellent candidates..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen made a decision in his mind.
It depends on the performance of the two in the future.
At this time, the door to the Hokage's office was pushed open.
A middle-aged man with a sinister expression, a bandage on his right eye and an "X" shaped scar on his chin walked into the office.
Only one person could enter Sarutobi Hiruzen's office like this - the leader of the Roots, Shimura Danzo.
Danzo walked to the desk, saw the picture displayed in the crystal ball on the table, and said in a low voice:
"It seems that there are talented people in this freshmen class. Have they attracted your attention?"
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned off the 'Telescope Technique' and said with a serious face:
"I remember that several outstanding graduates from this class have joined the roots. You should train them well and not waste their talents."
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't finish the rest of the words, but how could Danzo not understand.
Danzo frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy. He did have thoughts of testing.
"I came to you with battle reports from the front line and a letter from Hanzo." Danzo changed the topic and took out two sealed scrolls from his arms.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took the scroll and looked at it.
"The battle situation on the front line is tense. After Orochimaru and the others achieved their initial victory, Sunagakure and Iwagakure are constantly sending additional troops. It seems that Konoha is really going to fight with all its strength."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly. Originally, his idea was to let Sunagakure and Iwagakure suffer a little, and then seek peace through war. Unexpectedly, the two villages were preparing to fight Konoha to the death.
"In the first ninja world war, Sunagakure and Iwagakure did not taste the power of Konoha. This time they will suffer a little!" Danzo's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Follow-up support troops will be sent to the front line soon. "
"What I'm worried about is not these, but Hanzo!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly. With Konoha's current strength, even if it deals with Sunagakure and Iwagakure at the same time, there is still a chance of winning, and it is impossible for the two villages to really have the same mind. .
"Hanzo?"
"Look at this!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen handed another scroll to Danzo.
"Hanzo actually has the courage?!" The content of the letter made Danzo's eyes change slightly.
"If we continue to use the Kingdom of Rain as the main battlefield and expand the scale of the war, he cannot guarantee that he will not take action against the ninjas of Konoha."
"The Rain Ninja Village is not worth mentioning, but Hanzo is really troublesome. Even Tsunade may not be able to remove the poison from the Sanshou Fish."
"If Hanzo takes action, Orochimaru and the others are probably no match for him." After thinking for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Order the frontline troops to avoid towns in the Land of Rain as much as possible, and it is strictly forbidden to kill civilians."
"I'm afraid that's not enough. I'm going to remind Hanzo." Danzo said solemnly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said: "Then I'll leave this matter to you. As long as Onoki and the Third Kazekage don't take action, Konoha will definitely win the final victory in this war."
"If they don't show up, we won't go to the front line." Danzo said: "That old fox Onoki won't touch this bottom line easily.
As for the details of the Third Kazekage, it is still unclear.
However, if he dares to go to the front line, he will let Sakumo lead a Jonin team into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Wind.
Let’s see if he comes back! "
"Yeah!" Upon hearing the name Hatake Sakumo, Sarutobi Hiruzen also relaxed.
Among the jounin of Konoha's generation, the strongest was not Orochimaru, whom he had high hopes for, but Sakumo Hatake.
Even if he was forced to go to the front line where the shadows of other villages went, Hatake Sakumo was still there in Konoha.
In a head-on confrontation, Hatake Sakumo may not be a match for the Third Kazekage, but as a unique force, he can penetrate into Sunagakure's heart.
Although the Iwagakure Village did not directly engage in a large-scale battle with Konoha in the First Ninja World War, they had also seen Konoha defeat the Kumogakure Village. As long as the front line was frustrated, Onoki would definitely have concerns.
On the contrary, Sunagakure Village didn't know what was going on.
"By the way, Hiruzen, I heard that Mito-sama's physical condition is not optimistic. Shouldn't you make preparations early?" Danzo asked seemingly casually before leaving.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. Mito-sama and I have already reached a consensus that the transfer of the Nine-Tails will be completed smoothly."
Sarutobi Hiruzen replied that even with the relationship between him and Danzo's companions for decades, he did not want to say more. He was not prepared to disclose who the jinchuriki of this generation was, which could be regarded as a little compensation for Kushina.
"Well, I'll leave first." He didn't get a definite answer, which was what Danzo expected.
Mito-sama was indeed a supporter in the early days of Hiruzen becoming Hokage, but now it has become a constraint.
It seemed that Hiruzen wanted to keep the jinchūriki firmly in his hands.
With the power of the Kyuubi, the only ones who can withstand it are the Uzumaki and the ninjas of the Senju clan.
Sooner or later he can investigate clearly.
Now the top priority is winning the war.
"It seems that the training of medical ninjas will be accelerated!" Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly signed the new document after Danzo left.
We don't know how many years this war will last. Konoha's medical ninja system is ahead of other villages, but it is still not enough. A large number of medical ninjas must be trained to allow more injured people to survive.
