Chapter 698: A Different Style, A Different Name
Chapter 698: A Different Style, A Different Name
At this moment, Tong Ping was standing in front of a bookstore, complaining.
"I never expected 'My Struggle' to be so popular, even more so than 'Close to Paradise'!"
After leaving the Hokage Office, he had taken Tsukimaru Hyuga, who was waiting outside, for a stroll, and they had stumbled upon a long line at the bookstore.
"No wonder, this book involves the F4... the upper echelons of Konoha, and there are so many inside stories. Of course, everyone would want to read it!"
Kakashi emerged from the store, holding a copy of 'Close to Paradise'.
Even though he had transformed into a woman, his personality remained unchanged, and he still enjoyed reading these kinds of erotic novels.
"So, what do you think of this book?"
Tong Ping asked with a smile.
The book contained a wealth of valuable information.
It revealed numerous secret events and even touched on Konoha's resource monopoly.
T
"It's excellent!"
Kakashi nodded without hesitation.
He... or rather, she, had also read the book, which mentioned how Byakuya had dominated the three ninjas with his sword, and how he had killed a Sunagakure ninja with a single blade, and his final act of self-sacrifice to protect his son had won him countless fans, so it was no wonder Kakashi was satisfied.
"But why does the author use the pen name 'He Jia Xiao Bingbing'?"
Kakashi asked a question that everyone wanted to know.
The content of the book was indeed impressive, but the author's name seemed out of place in the ninja world.
"Who knows?"
Tong Ping's face carried a mysterious smile.
This name was a pen name he had used before his transmigration, during his office slacking days, and it was so terrible that it deserved to be flushed down the toilet. That's why he had chosen this particular pen name.
"Alright, what can I do for you this time?"
Kakashi got straight to the point.
She knew that he must have a mission for her.
"I need the latest intelligence on Konoha!"
Tong Ping explained his request.
Although he still had some pieces on the Konoha chessboard, none of them could get close to the core circle.
But Kakashi was different!
Whether it was strength, status, or identity, he had the qualifications to enter the core circle of the Hokage System. The information he could gather was beyond what any other piece could provide.
Just like the last time when Danzo and the Root tried to assassinate him; if not for Kakashi, he would never have discovered that Nara Kojiro was the one who made the move.
The Konoha Strategist!
In the Naruto he had read before his transmigration, this character was quite impressive.
If you were on the side of the Hokage System, you would think he was genuinely considering their interests.
But from another perspective, he seemed like a hindrance.
Fortunately, Kakashi's presence had prevented Tong Ping from being schemed against without his knowledge.
"I understand!"
Kakashi nodded and left.
The two of them were like old teammates, casually chatting without any unnecessary interaction.
Then, they saw Tenten passing by.
Indeed, Tong Ping had come to intercept her.
If it had been anyone else, he might have let it go.
But this rare space talent, a beautiful girl with a unique Chinese style, was worth his personal invitation.
"Tenten!"
Tong Ping greeted her.
Tsukimaru Hyuga instantly became invisible.
"Tong Ping-sama!"
Tenten's eyes lit up.
After all, he had just saved her life, so seeing him made her emotional.
Next, Tong Ping took Tenten on a tour of Konoha and once again invited her to join the Skyguard Tower.
"Your talent can only be fully developed at the Skyguard Tower!"
Finally, he concluded.
He didn't mention this point.
Additionally, to ensure that Tenten wouldn't stand out too much, he deliberately added the names of a few Genin to the list, demonstrating his attentiveness.
Space Talent!
In the entire ninja world, the number of people with this talent could be counted on one hand. If you further narrowed it down to those with good looks and the ability to poach others, there was only Tenten.
With proper cultivation, it wouldn't take long for Tenten to become a 'Strategic-level' powerhouse.
For such a talented individual, it was not unusual to invest some effort.
"I need to think about it!"
Facing this second invitation, Tian Tian did not immediately respond, but instead asked for some time to consider.
In reality, if it weren't for Touhei's previous rescue and her parents also being invited to develop in the Skyguard Tower, she wouldn't have given it a second thought.
But now that she had asked for time to consider, her subconscious had already given its answer.
Agreed!
It was just that she hadn't fully thought it through at that moment.
Looking at Tian Tian's departing figure, a smile appeared on Touhei's face.
With her joining, along with Minako's presence, the Skyguard Tower instantly gained a strong advantage in terms of space.
Whether it was the Rasengan, Amaterasu... and so on, Touhei had researched for so long and had made significant progress, allowing them to use these techniques directly.
Oh yes, there was one more thing to do today.
Surgery!
It was time for Izumi's surgery.
She had been mastering Zhishi's Mystic Iris for quite some time, gaining extensive experience in controlling the Mystic Iris, and with the continuous investment of resources, her Eye Power was already overflowing.
If it weren't for Touhei's lack of time, she would have restored her eyes long ago.
For a super genius like her with abundant resources and guidance, opening the Mystic Iris was not a problem at all. The key was what the Mystic Iris ability would be.
If it were an ability like Amaterasu, Kagutsuchi... and other Mystic Iris techniques, that would be the worst outcome.
But if it were an ability like Amaterasu, Kamui... and the like, that would be the best result.
Regarding this, Izumi had been eagerly anticipating it all along, so after returning to the Leaf Village earlier today, she stayed in her room to rest, trying to adjust her condition to its peak.
Naturally, the surgery couldn't be performed in the Leaf Village.
Even if Touhei didn't think so, it was possible that they would take action directly within the village.
But with so many incidents happening, it wasn't impossible for a few 'assassins' to appear.
Especially the Sarutobi Clan! They would love to devour him alive.
Who could blame him for kicking Sarutobi Hiruzen off the Hokage position and spreading the book 'My Struggle', making the current Sarutobi Clan as desperate as rats in the sewers.
Three thousand Sarutobi ninjas!
Even a regular hidden village couldn't afford to maintain such a large number.
Even the so-called 'wealthy' Uchiha Clan only had around a thousand ninjas.
But when Sarutobi Hiruzen rose to power, the Sarutobi Clan was just a medium-sized ninja clan with less than a hundred ninjas.
Now?
Their numbers had increased by several dozen times.
And these additional ninjas consumed the village's resources.
No wonder the village was becoming poorer; with so many vampires within, it was a wonder the village could even develop.
With the Sarutobi Clan around, Touhei was genuinely concerned about something unexpected happening during the surgery, so he prepared to perform it outside the village.
For others, they might need a dedicated operating room.
But for him, anywhere would do.
It was just an eye replacement, after all!
If a genin like Yahiko could do it on the battlefield, why couldn't he?
He just wanted to achieve the perfect effect and test the outcome.
In the room of the Leaf Mansion!
"Let's go!"
After creating a Shadow Clone, Touhei nodded at Minako.
Minako grabbed him and Izumi with her hand.
Whoosh!
The three of them instantly disappeared from the mansion.
Indeed, with the Rasengan in hand, changing locations was as easy as a breeze.
However, the distance of the transfer couldn't be too far.
Minako's current proficiency and chakra were insufficient, and with people accompanying her, she could only transfer within a few hundred kilometers.
But this distance was more than enough.
It was just a matter of finding a safe place to perform the surgery.
At this moment, the newly arrived Skyguard Tower personnel were also discussing the matter of migration with the ninja clans on the list.
Simultaneously, a message was spreading: 'The Village is Open for Travel to the Skyguard Tower.'
This message directly caused a stir in the Leaf Village.
Countless people wanted to take a chance and try to become ninjas in the Skyguard Tower.
Previously, the village had prevented such endeavors.
Now that the restrictions were lifted, the excitement was understandable.
