Chapter 112: You Don't Understand the Medical Standards of the Hidden Sand Village
"Come on, come on... everyone stand properly, one by one. Men stand... forget it, you all should just stand in a single row."
Looking at the Konoha Ninjas wearing miniskirts... that Hidden Sand Village Ninja fell silent for a long time.
Meanwhile, the other Hidden Sand Village Ninjas standing in the distance, upon seeing this scene...
...all broke into smiles as well.
They were all old acquaintances!
Old acquaintances made things much easier!
Once Jiraiya and Danzo's Chakra were sealed and they were loaded onto the trucks...
...the trucks parked outside the service area started up one after another.
They drove off in the direction of the Hidden Sand Village.
And those exploding tags floating in the air... they were also converging toward a certain young girl.
Looking at the undulating dunes in the distance, Danzo's face was full of melancholy... "Hiruzen... this time, I..."
"But I won't say a word! Even though my body has been taken to the Hidden Sand Village, my heart will always belong to Konoha!"
---
"Yo~ Elder Danzo! What's with this look? It's quite unique!"
Saito looked at Danzo Shimura, who was being escorted up by the Hidden Sand Village Ninjas while wearing a miniskirt.
He couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
"Humph! My subordinates forced me under the threat of death. I couldn't bear to see my loyal subordinates die before my eyes, so I put this on."
"I understand I completely understand"
"Humph!"
"You guys take Elder Danzo to rest first."
"Yes."
After seeing Danzo, Saito prepared to go see the rest of the people from Konoha.
After all... he still cared quite a bit about some of the people among them.
Hidden Sand Village, the place where the Konoha Ninjas were being held.
"Lord Commander! Your method really is great. Since we put on these clothes, the people of the Hidden Sand Village haven't given us any trouble; look at them, they're even smiling at us."
Commander: "..."
"Hey, Lord Commander, do you think the people of the Hidden Sand Village will give me a bottle of sabi later? I haven't had one in ages since the last time I drank it."
Commander: "..."
Listening to the Ninja's non-stop chatter beside him, the Commander felt like not saying a word.
Because he felt that answering would be an insult to his intelligence.
Fortunately, such days didn't last long.
Because the Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village had arrived.
When the people of Konoha saw Saito's arrival, they all shut their mouths and stopped talking.
Although it wasn't the first time they had seen Saito, they still had to acknowledge their current status.
If they didn't... they would end up like this... "You bastards! Where is Lord Danzo? What have you done to him!"
"I'm telling you, Lord Danzo is an elder of Konoha. If you dare to harm him, Konoha will not let you get away with it!"
A group of people from the Root, seeing that Danzo wasn't there, kept shouting.
At first, no one paid them any attention, and they gradually quieted down.
Until... they saw Saito's arrival... then they started shouting and questioning again.
Hearing their shouting, the kind-hearted Saito naturally granted their request and ordered his subordinates to take them to see Danzo.
After all... there was no point in keeping them here!
After dealing with this little interlude, Saito got down to his actual business.
He carefully scanned the Konoha crowd and soon spotted that pineapple-head trying to hide in the shadows.
"Hahaha, isn't this Commander Shixin? We meet again!"
At this moment, the Commander hiding in the crowd was Shikaku Nara.
Hearing Saito call his name, he stopped hiding and greeted Saito.
"Lord Kazekage, yes, we meet again!"
"When does the Kazekage plan to hold the evening party? I've already got my outfit ready."
"Hahaha, Commander Shixin, look at what you're saying. How could I let you dance every time? Let's do something different this time. I'll treat you to something good!"
"Something good?...sabi?"
"Of course not! That's just a drink..."
"But... I wonder what your relationship is with the current Nara Clan Head?"
"Ah?"
Hearing Saito's sudden sharp turn in the conversation, Shikaku Nara, who usually had a sharp mind, was stunned for a good while.
"Clan Head Shikaku is my cousin... I wonder..."
"Cousin is good, cousin is good!"
"Guards!"
Saito, who was just laughing, suddenly changed his expression and shouted.
"Here!"
"Please let Mr. Shixin taste the drink that even the Third Raikage praised, so Mr. Shixin can enjoy himself!"
"Yes!"
With that, two Ninjas took Shikaku Nara away.
"Hey! Hey! What's this for, Lord Kazekage!"
Seeing himself being carried away with his feet off the ground, Shikaku Nara's clever brain was of no use at all at this moment.
He could only open his mouth and shout loudly at Saito.
As for Saito, he didn't have much else... just many virtues... and being helpful and answering every question were among them.
Facing Shikaku Nara's question, Saito answered patiently.
Mainly, he was afraid the other party would be too scared, which might affect the performance.
Although the impact wouldn't be that big after taking the medicine... but still, just in case!
"It's fine, don't be afraid! I just want you to have a home in the Hidden Sand Village!"
Upon hearing Saito's words, Shikaku Nara immediately knew his impending fate.
"Lord Kazekage! You can't do this! Ninja Clan need to be respected! You're breaking the rules between Ninja Clan! You can't do this! Lord Kazekage~"
But Shikaku Nara couldn't do anything about Saito's decision.
Soon, Shikaku Nara was taken away.
Then, Saito's gaze continued to search among the Konoha Ninjas.
At this moment, Hyuga Hizashi, who was hiding deep in the crowd with his back to Saito, was trembling.
But obviously, no matter how well he hid, under Saito's perception... "Can't see me! Can't see me!"
Watching Shikaku Nara being taken away, Hizashi was terrified to the extreme. The Nara Clan was just a clan with secret techniques, but the Hyuga Clan was a Kekkei Genkai clan. If this... then he would be a sinner of the Hyuga Clan!
Although he wasn't the only Hyuga Clan Ninja here.
But... Shikaku Nara wasn't the only Nara Clan member either.
It was obvious: the closer one was to the main family line, the more dangerous it was!
But often, the more you don't want something... the more it happens!
Like right now... a shadow quietly loomed over Hyuga Hizashi.
"Hyuga Hizashi!"
Hearing this voice, Hizashi's whole body shuddered, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
But knowing he couldn't escape, Hizashi steeled himself.
In Saito's perception, he saw Hizashi reach his right hand inside, and then... CRACK!
A sound that would terrify any man came from Hizashi's body.
Thanks to the noisy ones having been sent away, the holding area was exceptionally quiet.
So... that crisp sound was heard by everyone present. Whether they were Konoha Ninjas or Hidden Sand Village Ninjas, they all looked at Hizashi as if he were a monster.
Their eyes were full of admiration and thoughts like 'he's a ruthless man.'
Even Saito's eyebrows twitched violently.
"Phew... ha... hehe, Lord Kazekage, I've disappointed you!"
Seeing Saito's twitching eye, Hizashi endured the pain and managed a smile.
Only, that smile looked more like a convulsion to everyone else.
Seeing Hizashi's twitching smile, Saito also began to laugh.
Hyuga Hizashi: "???"
"What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing because you don't understand the medical standards of the Hidden Sand Village."
"Guards, heal him!"
"Yes!"
With that, two Ninjas stepped forward and pinned Hizashi down.
Five minutes later, two Medical Ninjas arrived.
And so... in front of everyone, Hizashi's pants were pulled down, and he underwent 'egg' repair treatment.
About half an hour later.
"Lord Kazekage! The treatment is complete!"
"Very good! You may leave!"
After the Medical Ninjas left, Saito looked at Hizashi once more.
By now, Hizashi had lost all will to live, lying numbly on the ground as a single trail of tears slowly rolled down from the corner of his eye.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Why is the Hidden Sand Village's medical technology so good?
Big brother... I failed to protect the Hyuga Clan's bloodline!
... "Stop right there!"
Just as Hizashi was about to be carried out by the Hidden Sand Village Ninjas...
...a powerful shout rang out from the Konoha crowd.
It drew everyone's attention.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
By now, a space had cleared around where the voice came from, leaving only a white-haired Ninja standing there.
It was none other than Jiraiya, one of the Sannin!
Seeing that he had predictably attracted everyone's gaze, Jiraiya prepared to begin his speech on justice.
"Kaze..."
"Hehe! I almost forgot about you!"
Jiraiya: "???"
Jiraiya had only uttered one word before being interrupted by Saito, but seeing Saito's malicious expression...
...Jiraiya felt he had made a mistake.
"Just as well! Someone has been wanting to see you!"
Jiraiya: "???!!!"
Five minutes later... "Heehee, Mr. Jiraiya, long time no see!"
"Ah~ it's Emi, haha... it has been a long time."
Looking at Uzumaki Emi, who was smiling at him, a forced smile appeared on Jiraiya's face.
Of course, it wasn't because Uzumaki Emi wasn't pretty; on the contrary, she was quite attractive... if it weren't for the four chains dancing behind her... she would have looked even better.
"Gomen nasai! Emi! I didn't know it was you, I didn't mean to peek!"
Seeing those four chains getting closer and closer, Jiraiya couldn't hold out any longer.
He performed a deep dogeza.
After all, his Chakra was currently sealed... if she used a bit too much strength, he would... so... no shame in it!
Just as Jiraiya was thinking about how to apologize...
...the chains had already bound him tightly and pulled him in front of Uzumaki Emi.
Then Uzumaki Emi examined him closely... to Jiraiya, this action clearly looked like she was deciding where to start.
"Lord Kazekage! I'm willing to have a home!"
While Uzumaki Emi was examining him, Jiraiya hurriedly spoke to Saito.
After all, in his mind... falling into Emi's hands meant certain death, but falling into Hidden Sand Village's hands meant at most losing his virtue.
Between the two, there was no need to hesitate.
But the outcome was beyond his expectations... "Sorry, Mr. Jiraiya! I've already promised Emi, so I'll have to ask you to bear with it. Nothing bad will happen."
Jiraiya [!!!]
Hearing Saito's words, Uzumaki Emi looked very happy.
"Heehee, Lord Kazekage, can I also take those two Medical Ninjas with me?"
"Hmm? What do you want those two Medical Ninjas for?"
"Emmm..." Hearing Saito's question, Uzumaki Emi thought for a long time before finally revealing the reason.
"Recently, I've been researching a project on whether reattaching male organs after separation affects their function."
"But no one has been willing to sign up. Today I just happened to catch one, so I plan to complete my project."
Saito "!!!"
Jiraiya "!!!"
The other Ninjas "!!!"
"Haha, so that's how it is. You still have a project to do. Go ahead and get to it then."
Hearing Uzumaki Emi's words... for some reason, Saito couldn't help but shudder.
So he hurriedly urged Uzumaki Emi to leave.
Of course, the two Medical Ninjas who had just finished the treatment left as well, along with Jiraiya, who was dancing in the air.
After silently mourning for Jiraiya in his heart, Saito returned to the selection process... While Saito was casually picking people in the Hidden Sand Village...
...the news of the Konoha Ninjas' total defeat spread throughout the Ninja World.
Upon receiving this news, the other three hidden villages, which had planned to follow Konoha's lead and grab some benefits, suppressed their little schemes.
They all stayed in the smaller nations, preparing to gather information first.
Meanwhile, in Konoha Village...
...after receiving the news of the total defeat, Hiruzen Sarutobi predictably ended up in a hospital bed again.
At this moment...
...Hiruzen Sarutobi had woken up under the emergency treatment of the medical staff.
However, his mind was still a bit dazed... his mouth kept muttering "Azō, Azō..." [Back then... he had been appointed in a time of crisis... taking over the position of Hokage... no one accepted him. The Senju cursed him, the Uchiha insulted him, and the other Ninja Clan watched coldly. Behind him, only the Sarutobi Clan stood alone... it was Azō... and that door... and that sound...]
[Hiruzen! I'm here!]
[Danzo?! You shouldn't have come!]
[But I came anyway!]
[And so... the Sarutobi Clan, which was originally isolated and without help, gradually caught its breath after the Shimura Clan joined them... and it was precisely because of this breathing room... that he eventually persevered and secured his position as Hokage.]
[Similarly... it was also Danzo who was there during his most difficult times... back then, although he had secured the position of Hokage, the strength of the other clans was still too great.]
[Just when he couldn't find a way to break the deadlock... it was that door again... that familiar sound...]
[Hiruzen! There are some things that you, as the Hokage, cannot do! But I can!]
[Danzo! You...]
[Say no more, Hiruzen! You are the leaf bathed in sunlight!]
[Then let me be the Root in the darkness...]
All these past events surfaced in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.
The arguments with Danzo felt as if they were right before his eyes.
But looking back, the person was... Oh, Azō!
