Chapter 50: Troubled Sarutobi
Hokage Office
Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned on the chair, holding the smoke pipe in his hand, puffing clouds of smoke one after another.
On the table in front of him, there was the report of the victory against Iwagakure.
Originally, when he first sent Kozuki with Orochimaru, he had a feeling that he had done something wrong.
His original idea was to wait until Orochimaru was desperate, and then let Minato save the battlefield, so as to pave the way for Minato.
But he really didn't expect that Kozuki could defeat the Raikage's son and the two tail Jinchuriki and kill the Elite Jonin.
"It's so easy to be defeated by a child, you can run away if you can't beat him?"
Just to be cautious he sent Kozuki to the rock village, so that Orochimaru won't make any more miracles.
And what he didn't expect was that he sent him to Rock, but he actually grabbed the limelight of Minato
Minato did kill Akatsuchi which was a great achievement.
But Kozuki actually killed the Jinchuriki of stone village. This was beyond his expectation.
That's the Jinchuriki, one of the trump card of every great nation.
He only wanted Minato to be famous not Kozuki but now the reputation of Kozuki even surpassed Minato by some points. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
Whenever anyone in Konoha or the Ninja world would talk about the defeat of Stone, the first name would be "Sword Demon" and the second would be "Yellow Flash"
This is against the script he wrote and he had decided already not to let Kozuki interfere anymore.
And Kozuki was growing strong at a terrifying speed and he wasn't sure that he and Danzo could deal with him after the war.
Thinking of this, Sarutobi couldn't help but take a deep breath of the pipe in his hand.
call!!!
Spitting out the smoke, he had already made a decision at this time, Although it's a bit late, I can only do so.
He waved his hand to the ninja of Anbu.
Whoosh!

The Camp of Tsunade
"Shizune, Kurenai try to control your Chakra more precisely"
Tsunade who wore the grey armour stood in front as she guided the two disciples she accepted recently.
During the time in the war, she was tired of doing all the hard work.
Chiyo of the sand would use deadly poison against Konoha every time and she was the only one who could make the antidote.
This took a huge toll on her but thankfully she found two girls who had great talent and accepted them as her disciple.
She was afraid of blood so these little girls could help her in the surgery and ease her work.
Kurenai and Shizune were fully concentrated on healing the fish in front.
Both of them learned how weak they were during the war, so even Kurenai for just to get strong started learning from Lady Tsunade but she hasn't stopped her illusion training.
"Lady Tsunade, this is the report from Stone Village"
At this time, a Kunoichi entered the camp handing Tsunade a scroll.
Tsunade took the scroll as the Kunoichi retreated.
After unsealing the scroll, Tsunade read the report and couldn't help but be surprised.
"You have a good teammate"
After reading the scroll, Tsunade said looking at the little girls.
"Kozuki, what happened?"
Hearing it was about Kozuki both of them immediately got curious looked at Tsunade for more news.
Tsunade didn't answer but handed the scroll to these two as it wasn't a secret to hide.
"Yes!!!"
"Kozuki is getting stronger we can't be left behind"
After reading the scroll, both of them cheered happily for Kozuki's success but started to practice again as to not to be a burden to Kozuki in the future.
