The Shadow of Konoha

Konoha and Kumogakure finally achieved the peace they had planned. Although the end of the war was still a long way off from the current situation in the ninja world, there was no doubt that peace with Kumogakure was good news for Konoha. Because of this news, the morale of Konoha's frontline ninjas could not be said to be high, but at least it had swept away the decline caused by the sacrifice of the Second Hokage.

After resolving the concerns of Kumogakure, Konoha's strategic focus began to shift towards Sand Village.

Internally, the success of the alliance mission also increased the prestige of the acting Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. At this time, he had completed the initial integration of Konoha. Currently, the village has formed situation where the acting Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is in charge of the overall situation, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu are in charge of logistics, Shimura Danzo is in charge of internal affairs intelligence, and Uchiha Kagami and Akimichi Tori are supervising the battle situation.

Under the premise that the Senju clan had no intention of emerging, was preparing to retire, and provided full support, the political legacy of the Second Hokage was completely inherited by his disciples.

Of course, these high-level changes, power struggles, and strategic decisions have nothing to do with Hanyu who returned to Konoha. During this mission, the most valuable thing for him personally was to establish a connection with Hatake Sakumo. If there is a chance in the future, they can exchange physical skills, practice together, and make progress together... In a sense, Hatake's ability is the most enviable ability for a ninja.

As for other aspects, Hanyu definitely doesn't want to show up to do anything or offer any ideas in the short term. The trip to Kumogakure has made him taste the consequences of speaking nonsense... Although Konoha has achieved fruitful results in the alliance mission because of his suggestions, he himself has suffered great losses.

Having a number in another ninja village is really not a good thing.

If you think about it carefully, Hanyu has only been in Konoha for a few days, but he seems to have participated in all major events in Konoha's internal and foreign affairs within these few days. For an outsider who has just joined Konoha and has no real strength, this "sense of presence" is a bit too redundant.

Hanyu decided to be a coward and learn skills from Mr. Sansho. So he began his "quiet life" in the Konoha Orphanage.

However, Konoha was undergoing a major change, and there must have been various incidents that needed to be resolved and decisions that needed to be planned, so it was not until three days later that Hanyu saw the teacher again.

In Sansho office, Sansho re-introduced the situation on her side, "Before, I was busy with clan affairs and didn't pay attention to you, but now the things over there have been dealt with..."

At this point, she turned her eyes to the window. "Perhaps you have already noticed that I am the kind of ninja who cannot fight... To be more precise, I have no way to fight. Although I have knowledge about ninjas and ninjutsu that is unimaginable to ordinary people, the irony is that I do not have a body that can transform this secret knowledge into direct combat power. Since birth, I have been a very weak person, so weak that I cannot control ninjutsu at all."

"Some congenital defects cannot be compensated by any acquired means. I have tried hard , but in the end I can only come to the conclusion that medical ninjutsu is not omnipotent... Of course, I am not the kind of person who cannot accept reality."

Sansho's tone was very calm, but what she said was actually a very sad thing... If Sansho was an important figure in the Senju clan, then she should have been born with better conditions than other ninjas. Under the full training of the Senju, under normal circumstances she should have become an excellent ninja, or even the backbone of Konoha.

However, because of her weak body, these "shoulds" only exist in illusion.

So, she hopes to find a disciple who can tap into the hidden power of that knowledge and use it to help her on the battlefield?

Sansho understood what Hanyu was thinking from his face, so she shook her head and said, "You don't have to think too much. I will teach you my knowledge, but there will be no conditions. As for what you will do after you have the power and what kind of ninja you want to be, that is something only you can decide."

Sansho was sure that Hanyu was a very opinionated person, so she didn't force anything.

But this statement made Hanyu confused. Just as he didn't understand why the Second Hokage trusted a stranger like him that day, now he couldn't understand why Sansho took such a laissez-faire attitude towards him... What if Hanyu learned a lot of ninjutsu and would be ? This possibility is not impossible.

"Okay, let's stop here." Sansho stopped introducing herself abruptly, and then she returned to the topic of Hanyu's education. "In short, according to our standards, it's a bit late for you to become a ninja at your age. From the perspective of a mentor, I hope to make up for the time difference."

"Make up for it?" Hanyu could understand what Sansho meant by "too late". Normally, the cultivation and training of ninjas often started before the age of six, but the physiological age of Hanyu's body was over thirteen. At this age, he would have graduated from the ninja school long ago. It can be said that Hanyu perfectly missed the best opportunity to lay the foundation of a ninja... But what did Sansho mean by make up for it? Could such a thing still be made up for?

As Hanyu looked at him in confusion, Sansho pointed to a huge glass bottle next to her desk. Through its transparent outer wall, one could see that it was filled with black pills the size of longan. Hanyu suddenly understood that the pills in the title were real pills. You have to know that the titles of some people are always irrelevant to the specific content and are mostly fraudulent.

"The secret medicine of the Senju clan... Do you know about the secret medicine? In the process of a ninja's growth, it is necessary to supplement it with secret medicine, whether it is for physical strength, chakra growth or other expansions. Among the secret medicines made by various ninja sects, the secret medicine of the Senju clan is the most precious and effective one. The Senju has been able to stand firm and dominate the ninja world for a long time, and this secret medicine has also played its due role." When talking about the Senju, Sansho deliberately lowered his head to hide his expression.

"And now I'm giving you an incremental supplement of the Senju Secret Medicine, so even if you start late, it will definitely help you catch up... What you have in front of you is a week's supply."

"Teacher Sansho, are you sure these secret medicines are only enough for one week?" Hanyu asked in disbelief, looking at the glass jar that seemed a bit exaggerated. The content in the jar was not too little but too much. If you save some and eat it as a meal, it would be enough for a week.

No matter how good Senju's secret medicine is, in Hanyu's opinion, it is hard to say that this thing has no toxic side effects. If you take too many pills, you will really be finished.

"Of course, but if you think it tastes good, you can eat it in advance." Sansho said with a smile.

After hearing her say that, Hanyu stuffed a secret pill into his mouth with the thought, "What if this thing tastes good?" As soon as it entered his mouth, he felt an indescribable smell rushing straight into his nose, throat and forehead.

Wonderful, it really is worthy of being the secret medicine of Senju. Once it sticks to the lips, it makes Hanyu's entire mouth numb. Even so, he still has to give a thumbs up:

"As expected of Senju, this flavor sounds high-end, and tastes even better... Hmm, little pill, made by a master!"
