Naruto: Son of the Fourth Hokage

The Xuanyuan Crowd, of course, didn't run; they were professional mercenaries who valued integrity more than their lives.

Having already taken the Akatsuki's money, they would certainly work hard to get the job done. They had professional ethics and weren't afraid of being beaten to death after learning about the Cloud Village incident.

Since the Cloud Village incident spread, the Kirigakure's vigilance had been increased by another level. Yagura was even considering moving out of Kirigakure with Utakata to avoid implicating the villagers.

Thanks to their increased vigilance, the Xuanyuan Crowd found it increasingly difficult to scout the area. The hiding places they chose were getting farther and farther away, let alone sneaking in to steal the Jinchuriki.

The one in green clothes had long been impatient and complained, "Boss, isn't Akatsuki screwing us over? We were almost clear on the route, but they suddenly made such a big commotion. The Kirigakure's defenses have completely changed all of a sudden. How are we supposed to act? How about we refund the money and quit!"

The one in purple clothes didn't like his fiery temper and directly retorted, "Easy for you to say. This is such a big deal, are you going to support me if we don't work?"

The one in green clothes curled his lips, "Dream on!"

"Alright, stop arguing." The red-clothed leader advised, "It looks like they really don't plan to come out for the time being. Let's wait for the Five Kage Summit. Next, we'll take turns keeping an eye on them, release more bugs to monitor them, so we can determine which route they'll take."

The one in blue clothes asked, "What if they urge us?"

The red-clothed leader replied, "Then we'll ask them to add money. The difficulty was increased by them. Either they add money or wait a few more days. I hate these clients who mess things up the most."

The five people discussed a solution before unhappily returning to their respective positions.

...

In addition to Kirigakure strengthening its defenses, Konoha wasn't idle either.

Even Naruto was caught by the Barrier Team to help improve the defense Barrier and Sensory Barrier, and he had to go to Aincrad to recharge it on time every day.

At this time, Aincrad had been sent to the vicinity of the southern coast of the Land of Fire, and special concealment Barriers and defense Barriers were added. It would serve as Konoha's last refuge.

Once a large-scale battle that had to be fought in the village was encountered, Whirlpool Transport Company would quickly transfer all civilians and other people who needed refuge to this floating city far away from Konoha. As long as the people are safe, the land can be lost and regained.

Of course, the ideal state was to block the enemy outside the village, so it was necessary to strengthen the Sensory Barrier that the Sensory Unit relied on.

Sakura could basically declare that she had completed her apprenticeship and was recently helping to train paramedics.

They weren't required to cultivate professional Medical Ninjas, but rather to pursue some knowledge of battlefield first aid and basic Medical Ninjutsu.

Long ago, Tsunade had suggested that each team should be equipped with a Medical Ninja, but the higher-ups at the time didn't accept it.

It wasn't until Tsunade returned to Konoha and took over the medical department again that she brought up this matter again. Minato and Jiraiya certainly supported her idea.

Of course, this matter needed to be done gradually. They couldn't directly break up the already formed teams, nor could they rashly turn four-person teams into five-person teams.

Instead, they would select one person with slightly more talent from each team to train. Tsunade and Shizune had been doing these things for the past two years, and recently Sakura had joined them.

Sakura was in charge of teaching her classmates, including Hinata, Ino, Karin, and... Neji.

"Why is it Neji-niisan from Team Guy instead of Tenten?" Hinata tilted her head and asked the question that Ino and Karin were curious about.

Neji opened his mouth, but was too embarrassed to say the truth.

Sakura explained, "Generally speaking, the female ninjas in each class have more precise Chakra control, and their talent for learning Medical Ninjutsu is also stronger, but Tenten, she..."

Ino looked incredulous, "You're kidding, right? Tenten can learn Hokage-sama's signature Ninjutsu, her Chakra control can't be bad, right?"

Sakura said helplessly, "It's true that it's not bad, but the strange thing is that she has absolutely no talent for learning Medical Ninjutsu, and can't even pass the entry level."

The so-called entry level refers to treating a fish with the help of a scroll.

Those with talent usually only need to carefully input Chakra into the designated location on the scroll according to the instructions.

However, Tenten's Chakra was as if poisonous; as soon as it was inputted, the fish that could have lingered on its last breath immediately died violently.

Tenten tried dozens of times, unwilling to believe it, and as a result, the four members of Team Guy, plus Sakura, who was responsible for guiding the test, ate grilled fish until they felt like vomiting.

Sakura had no choice but to let Neji try, and he succeeded once. Even when Rock Lee and Guy operated it, even if they couldn't cure the fish, they wouldn't cause it to die so quickly.

"Clearly, my idol is Master Tsunade! I even dreamed of becoming a female ninja as amazing as her, so why do I have absolutely no talent for Medical Ninjutsu! Moreover, I'm actually not even as good as Rock Lee…

Neji, I entrust my dream to you…" Tenten said, clutching her chest, having suffered a huge blow.

Hinata, Ino, and Karin all expressed sympathy for Tenten's experience. The Sage of Six Paths opened a door for her, but then casually closed a window on her.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's start today's lesson." Sakura stopped the topic that made Tenten sad.

"Ahem." Sakura cleared her throat and began to lecture, imitating Tsunade's posture.

The others felt as if Sakura had suddenly become a different person, and even Ino was a little afraid to recognize this good friend who competed with her for men.

The lecture went smoothly. Hinata and Neji had the most solid theoretical knowledge. If you were to say who in all of Konoha understood the human body the most, besides Medical Ninjas, it would be the Hyuga Clan.

Everyone comes with built-in X-rays; this ability has a cheat-like effect when used in Medical Ninjutsu.

However, the one who learned Medical Ninjutsu the fastest was Karin. Sakura didn't expect Naruto's seemingly carefree sister to be so talented in this area.

"Ah… I'm exhausted." Ino stretched and suggested, "It's rare to get together, why don't we go take a bath together?"

After speaking, she became a little depressed: "But I heard that there are always perverts peeping in the village's bathhouse, and I haven't dared to go for a long time."

Karin pushed up her glasses and said, "It's okay, Mom specially helped the owner set up a Barrier; you can't see anything from the outside."

Sakura waved her fist and said, "I also heard Master Tsunade say about this matter; she caught a certain pervert before and severely punished him."

"Then there's no problem!" Ino perked up again, "Hinata, what about you?"

"Okay." Hinata was a little shy; she had only ever taken a bath with Hanabi before.

"Then I'll go back first." Neji felt that this topic was not suitable for him to participate in. "Should I help you invite Tenten?"

"Of course, it's more fun with everyone." Ino happily greeted, "And Karin, call Yakumo and Haku too, okay?"

"How many times do I have to say it, Haku is a guy…"
