Chapter 84 - In Konoha 1

I looked at Rasa and A while both of them sized me up cautiously. It seemed like they also didn't expect me to appear here.

Rasa, an S-rank shinobi from Suna. A, an S-rank shinobi from Kumo, and me, an S-rank shinobi from Iwa. We are all staying in one hotel on the same floor.

We were all silent. The atmosphere was getting awkward as it could be. I couldn't stand anymore and was the first one to break the silence by speaking to Rasa.

"Hey, Rasa! Long time no see, huh? I didn't expect you will be here?"

This was not the first time I met him after I beat him in the Last Great Ninja war. I met Rasa again during the mission a few years ago. Though rather than meet, it was more like passing each and exchange bȧrėly a few sentences.

"Tsk, I also didn't expect you to be here. Well then, if you excuse me."

Rasa only spoke a few words and left the floor. Now it was only me and A. He had huge muscles build up just like cannon.

"What's up with him? He is such an unsocial guy, isn't he? By the way, you are A-san, right?. Nice to meet you." I spoke to A.

"Hello, Genji-san. I also heard about you."

A politely replied to me. Ever since the Great Ninja villages were established, Iwa and Kumo had less hatred than we had for other Great villages.

Iwa and Kumo didn't interfere with each other's work or caused some serious accident between us. It was very neutral between us. I think this was why A politely answered me.

But it didn't mean he wasn't cautious of me. We just exchanged a few bits and left.

-----------------

Before Sakumo takes us to meet Hokage, I gathered up the delegate members privately and gave a few mindful people that they should be aware of in Konoha.

"There are two most people you should avoid or be careful of in Konoha. First is Orochimaru. He is a student of current Hokage and S-rank shinobi, especially you kids.

He is a massive snake pedophile and genderless.

Furthermore, he is okay with all kinds of gender; male, female, or even homo is no problem for him to sėx. "

Genins all shivered in fear knowing there is such a massive pervert here in Konoha.

"On to the next one you should be warry is Danzo. He is an old crook acting like he is on the justice side, but he is just a greedy and jealous bastard.

He won't hesitate to kill someone who he deems as a danger for Konoha. So it's better you don't even see him.

Here is the picture of both Orochimaru and Danzo. Remember is clearly and once you see them, go away from them as far as you can. Dismiss!"

"""Yes, we got it. Sir."""

But after they went, I asked Shuji to stay alone.

"Alright, Shuji. I am glad that you are doing well in holding yourself. For now, don't think about your father's death. We can't let you go blast in Konoha, at least not now.

However, I can promise you that one year later, we will go and kill Sakumo in secret to avenge Uncle Masashi!!"

Shuji, who seemed to bit down, looked at me shockingly after hearing my words.

"Are you serious, Genji? You really promise?"

"When did I lie to you? I also want to avenge Uncle Masashi, but now is not the time or place. I promise you one year later, we will privately go for a journey and kill Sakumo when he goes for the mission."

Shuji seemed excited about killing Sakumo and reassured me that he will do his best to stay down.

------------------

Sakumo took us to Hokage's office. We just shared simple greetings and passed him Onoki's letter to him. Hiruzen scanned our Genins a bit. He expressly focused on Nagato.

Well, I already expected as Nagato has red hair, which is dead give away that he is Uzumaki.

But Hiruzen didn't ask me anything, just smiled and wished us to have a great time in Konoha.

'Tui* You have the nerve to wish us to have a great time in this hell, you geezer. '

Sakumo then guided us to famous tourist attractions, such as hot spring, Akimichi Barbecue restaurant, training section, etc.

I had to knock out Yahiko when visiting the hot spring as I knew far too well what this little uncontrollable beast would do.

Kids were running and playing around with loud noises as they didn't care about anything. While we were watching them quietly, I heard someone calling up his dad.

"Dad! How come you are here?"

We looked at who it was. Sakumo apologized to us and patted his running son. Kakashi's face was bloomed with smiles when he saw his father.

"Excuse me, this is my son Kakashi. He is such a troublesome kid, haha. Kakashi, I am currently busy. Go play with other kids." Sakumo pushed Kakashi away with a light smile.

'Are you blind or what? There is no way this aloof Kakashi even has friends to play, you dumb Sakumo.' I internally thought.

Suddenly, another loud voice came from Kakashi's voice.

"Kakashi, let's have a showdown who can run faster. If I lose to you, I will run around the playground 100 times!!"

It was stupid looking young Guy. His eyes were burning with fire to have a duel with Kakashi.

"I already won yesterday. Why should I do it again? I am not doing it." Kakashi immediately refused him.

"Remember that green-clothed kid well. In the future, he will be one of the most powerful shinobi in Konoha, maybe in the entire world. My intuition says so. So don't look down on him if you battle him in the future. This applies to even Jounins."

"You mean that Green kid? Not Konoha's white fang's child, Genji-san?"

"Yes, that Green kid is special. Don't look down on him just because of his dumb-ass looks."

Everyone stared at Guy immediately. Intuitions from S-rank shinobi are mostly true no matter how foolish they sounded. Yahiko especially learned this from his death experience.

"If he has such frightening potential, shouldn't we kill him now for Iwa's future?" Shuji asked me. Others all nodded to Shuji's question as they were agreeing with him.

"No. We are not here to ȧssassinate someone. Just getting info is already plenty.

Umm?! Where is Yahiko? I thought he was listening to me..."

To my question, everyone noticed Yahiko was not with us. We looked around and found him handing a bouquet to Konoha Female Academy sensei.

"Ohh, Señorita... Do you believe in love at first sight - or should I walk by again? Here are the roses expressing my 100% love to you."

"..."

"Why are you not replying to me? I was feeling a little off today, but you've turned me on again. Please accept my love!"

'Oh, I can't take this anymore. This brat is using my research material like his own and dares to flirt with Konoha shinobi just because she has a huge rack. He brings shame to Iwagakure and his sensei, me!!!'

"Konan, terminate him."

"Roger."

Konan immediately controlled her papers to fly at Yahiko and mummified Yahiko completely. Then she took him somewhere who knows where to bury him.

Sakumo and Konoha academy students were all watching this quietly. Sakumo seemed to bit curious about how Konan could control paper while kids were just awed by Yahiko's braveness to confess his love right away.

"Ahem, sorry for showing such a shameful act. I couldn't teach my student properly and caused trouble to Konoha Academy sensei." I pretended to look sorry at Sakumo.

"Ahaha, no worry, Genji-san. I am sure he is just in his rebellious phase." Sakumo spoke.

-----------------

After visiting the academy, Sakumo told us that his guide is ended and we could wander anywhere in Konohagakure. He just reminded us to follow Konoha's public regulations. But we all fully knew the dozens of Anbu would follow us to even the toilet.

"Alright, everyone. Gather up! I will form pair groups now. Always travel with your group whenever you go somewhere. This is an order.

First group: Me and Nagato

Second group: Shuji, Yahiko, Konan, Jito (Iryo shinobi)

Third group: Genin team 12 with their Jounin-sensei

Fourth group: Genin team 18 with their Jounin-sensei

Fifth group: Genin team 9 with their Jounin-sensei

Sixth group: leftovers (2 Chunins, Sensor, and other Iryo shinobi)

Also, don't question my decision on pairing. I have something to do with Nagato. Okay, split up!"

Everyone grouped according to my pairings and left to do their own things.

After everyone is gone, Nagato, who was quiet the whole time, asked me.

"Genji-sensei. What do you want me to do?"

"Hehe, come on. Follow me. I will tell you as we go."

"Where are we going, Genji-sensei?"

"Oh, I will take you to the most delicious Ramen shop in the world. It is an unforgivable sin not to go to the Ichiraku Ramen shop if you come to Konoha. Remember that carefully, Nagato."

"I will remember it, Genji-sensei. But I didn't know you like Ramen, sensei?"

I smiled at Nagato. Going to Ichiraku for tasting was just curiosity. My real reason was to make Nagato and Kushina meet.

'I am sure Kushina has some of the Uzumaki clan's seals. Although Iwagakure stole plenty when we invaded Uzushiogakure, human's greediness is endless.

Now I'm not an idiot to barge in their house secretly while the whole freaking Anbu division is keeping an eye on me. The best way to do this is to use Nagato. He can persuade Kushina to hand them over to rebuild their clan.

For the back-up plan, I will fȯrċɨbŀƴ declare Nagato as clan head of the Uzumaki clan. Konoha has only one lady, while Iwa has 2 Uzumaki shinobi (Nagato and Karen) and a ton of ȧduŀt Uzumaki civilians throughout Iwa territory. It is obvious who has more right to claim Uzumaki seals.

I am such a genius, muhahahahaha.'

"Nagato, do you know what your clan is feared for?"

"Sealing, sensei."

"Yes, but Konoha is using your clan's sealing jutsu like theirs. All because they have just one Uzumaki lady residing here."

Nagato clenched his fist. Konoha killed his parents, and with Iwa's brainwashing, he has grown Konoha more than anyone on his team.

"How dare they, using my clan's legacy!!"

"Now now, calm down, Nagato. Angry won't solve anything but trouble. You must be manipulative in order to get what you want.

I am going to give you a test now. You can always find that Uzumaki girl in the Ichiraku Ramen shop. Her name is Kushina. Use that brain of yours to persuade Kushina to teach you Uzumaki clan seals.

I don't care what method or how you do it. It's also okay to fail as I know how hard this test is. So just try your best."

Nagato looked determined to complete this test.
