Chapter 123 - Chapter 123 The New Konoha Village is Established, Your Crown Prince is Right Here

Jin transferring people from the One Piece World to replace Konoha's original inhabitants did indeed make management much more convenient.

After all, this group really had few demands.

Having a place to live that sheltered them from wind and sun, and a job that could support themselves and feed their families…

That was enough.

But there was another problem.

That was, these people from the One Piece World couldn't practice ninjutsu.

After all, they weren't natives of the Naruto World.

Their physique couldn't generate Chakra.

That move of Jin's great purge not only removed over ninety percent of Konoha's original inhabitants, but also killed all the Ninjas from the Sarutobi and Shimura Clans, and eliminated a large number of Ninjas who supported the Konoha Council.

This reduced Konoha, which originally had over ten thousand Ninja troops, to only about two thousand combat personnel.

For a Ninja Village of one of the Five Great Nations, this was extremely shabby.

Regarding these people from the One Piece World couldn't practice Ninjutsu…

Jin thought for a moment, then made another trip to the One Piece World.

"Teaching and imparting knowledge is your specialty, so I'll trouble you with this, old man Zephyr."

Well, Jin once again leveraged his relationship with Koala.

He tricked Zephyr, who had now officially joined the Revolutionary Army, into coming over.

He added a Taijutsu Major and Haki Training studies to the specialized courses at the Ninja Academy.

The native Konoha's students continued learning their three skills: Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu.

As for the new students from the One Piece World, they would specialized in physical training, swordsmanship, marksmanship, and Haki under Zephyr.

Speaking of which, if people from the Naruto and One Piece Worlds intermarry in the future…

Could their offspring practice both?

"Being the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army yet mingling with pirates, hmph~"

Zephyr, who had reluctantly come to teach at the Ninja Academy at Koala's request, was quite displeased.

"Hey, hey, hey~ Don't falsely accuse people of wrongdoing. I've never called myself a 'pirate'. The World Government issued the bounty on me themselves. Moreover, during my half-year trip there, did I commit any burning, killing, or plundering?"

"On the contrary, I did many things you Marines wanted to do but didn't dare to. Not to mention anything else, when you were an Admiral, did you dare to kill a Celestial Dragon?""

A single retort from Jin left Zephyr speechless.

Truth be told, when he was a Marine, let alone killing a Celestial Dragon, he didn't even dare to fart in front of them.

After all, another duty of an Admiral was being a bodyguard for the Celestial Dragons.

"Hmph!"

Unable to refute, Zephyr could only snort and quickly walk into the classroom.

As if returning to his days as the head instructor of the Marine Training Camp, he roared at the bunch of snot-nosed brats in the tiered classroom:

"Everyone, out of the classroom for physical tests! First, run 100 laps around the field!"

He wanted to see what the physical constitution of the kids in this world was like.

Hearing Zephyr's words, those who hadn't graduated yet, like Obito, Guy, Shiranui Genma, and Shizune, were stunned.

'100 laps?'

'This new teacher is a bit abnormal, right?'

"Are you kidding? 100 laps? Is this old man out of his mind?"

Obito muttered under his breath.

"Hmm?"

Zephyr's eyes behind his sunglasses coldly swept towards Obito. His left hand, without a prosthetic, pointed at him.

"That black-haired spiky-headed brat! Run 200 laps!"

"Wha-!?"

...

Two hours later.

The first-generation rookie nine, with an average age of less than eight, like Shizune, Genma, etc., were all collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

Some were even kneeling by the field, dry heaving.

"I... I can't, really can't... I'm... I'm dying..."

Obito was sticking out his tongue, his limbs twitching oddly as if each had its own mind.

Finally, unable to take it anymore, he crawled on the ground like an inchworm, inching forward.

Zephyr stood by the field with a dark face, muttering to himself:

"The physical constitution of kids in this world is too poor!"

Just then, a green blur flashed past Zephyr's eyes.

"Hmm?"

Zephyr instinctively turned to look.

He saw a little kid with a watermelon-shaped head, dressed head-to-toe in green spandex.

He was hanging his head, muttering words like 'Youth', 'passion', etc., and running lap after lap with determination.

"Oh ho~"

A glint of interest appeared in Zephyr's eyes.

'It seems there are still some spirited fellows.'

Jin, also seeing this, chuckled inwardly, then turned to leave.

'Given Might Guy's prowess in Taijutsu, mastering Armament Haki and Ryuo shouldn't be a problem, right?'

'Imagine a Might Guy who opens the Eighth Gate, combined with Ryou.'

'With that combination, forget Six Paths Madara…'

'He could probably kick Kaguya to death.'

Jin silently mourned for the Konoha Dancing King.

Just as Jin finished watching the spectacle and walked out of the Ninja Academy's main gate, a golden flash of light descended from the sky.

That head of yellow spiky hair, even with a mask, it was instantly recognizable.

"Jin, people from Kumogakure are here."

Minato, now promoted to Anbu Commander by Tsunade, quickly approached Jin.

Although he was the Anbu Commander, the current Anbu team only had about a dozen members.

After all, the Anbu were the Hokage's direct force.

Usually, only the Hokage's most trusted people could join.

And the previous Anbu were all Hiruzen's confidants.

Naturally, their fate was similar to that of the Sarutobi and Shimura Clans.

Jin had cleaned them out thoroughly.

So although Minato became the Anbu Commander, he was essentially a commander without an army.

"Huh?"

Jin raised an eyebrow.

"They said the Raikage's son has gone missing within the Land of Fire and are demanding Konoha's help in finding him."

Minato explained.

"...Oh right, I almost forgot about that."

Jin suddenly remembered.

A's head had been given by Jin to Hiashi as a betrothal gift.

After all, this was the future enemy who almost kidnapped his daughter and got his younger brother killed.

Jin felt using this as a betrothal gift showed great sincerity.

However, when Hiashi received this gift, his expression was quite spectacular.

Who knows what he was thinking at that time.

He just didn't dare to refuse, and with a smile uglier than crying, he repeatedly thanked Jin, saying he liked it very much.

"Such a nuisance. Maybe I should find an opportunity to turn Kumogakure into history too."

Jin leisurely walked towards the Hokage Building.

Hearing this, Minato, who is following behind, broke out in a cold sweat.

'Do you have to be so ruthless?'

'But... it doesn't feel bad.'

'At least this way, people from other villages won't get to bully us.'

...

"The Raikage's son is missing in the Land of Fire? Then I'd like to ask why your Kumogakure people entered the Land of Fire's territory without obtaining exit-entry permits?"

At this moment, in the Hokage's office, facing the demands of the Kumogakure's envoy team led by Dodai, Tsunade slammed her hand on the desk and coldly retorted.

'Did they think I, Tsunade, was like that old bastard Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was submissive externally but assertive internally? A coward?'

Dodai, at the front, frowned inwardly.

He couldn't help but miss Hiruzen.

After all, that old coward was truly accommodating.

He didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of people from other villages.

That was a good Hokage.

'Ah, such a good Hokage, why didn't the people of Konoha cherish him?'

'Oh, wait.'

'The people living in Konoha now seemed to have been brought in by Uchiha Jin from who knows where.'

Over ninety percent of the original Konoha's inhabitants had been thrown out by Uchiha Jin.

It was said they were now trekking to neighboring countries, begging for shelter.

Some even managed to cross the Land of Hot Water and reach the border of the Land of Lightning.

Around this time, Kumogakure also heard that Hiruzen had died and Tsunade had taken over as Hokage.

But they didn't care about that.

The key was their future Fourth Raikage had gone out and not returned!

Therefore, the Third Raikage had to send Dodai on a second diplomatic mission to Konoha, demanding their help in finding A.

Dodai, of course, knew that A had secretly entered the Land of Fire in response to Danzo's plan to ambush Jin.

But the problem was Danzo was dead now.

He couldn't ask a dead man.

So he could only come to Tsunade.

After all, he didn't dare to go ask Jin where their young master was.

After all, if he did, Jin would kill him for sure.

"Hokage-dono, A-sama entered the Land of Fire's territory by mistake while pursuing a Missing-nin from Kumogakure. We have no other intentions… we only hope Konoha can help Kumogakure find A-sama."

Dodai randomly made up an excuse to try and fool Tsunade.

After all, he couldn't say 'A-sama entered the Land of Fire to cooperate with Danzo's plan to assassinate Uchiha Jin, but now he's missing, so please help us find him'.

Well, if he dared to say that, Tsunade would absolutely blast his head off with a single punch.

"Not interested. Get lost!"

Tsunade was extremely impatient.

She had no goodwill towards people from Kumogakure.

Not to mention them infiltrating Konoha a few years ago trying to kidnap Kushina.

Just two years ago, they used the lame excuse of 'Uchiha Madara stole the Eight-Tails' to try to extort Konoha.

Based on these two things alone, a slightly more radical leader would have directly started a war.

Only a heavyweight like Hiruzen could tolerate them shitting on his head again and again.

Tsunade just telling them to get lost was already very polite.

Of course, another reason was that Konoha had suffered too great a loss in combat power due to the coup.

Two thousand people... probably fewer combat-ready forces than Amegakure.

Tsunade didn't want to turn against another Great Ninja Village at this time.

And Tsunade genuinely didn't know where A was.

Mainly because after Jin gave A's head to Hiashi, he didn't bother with the matter anymore.

He didn't specifically tell Tsunade either.

After all, after that, he focused his attention on how to play with the Konoha Council.

Dodai's face darkened.

Although he knew Tsunade couldn't be as cowardly as Hiruzen, he didn't expect her to be so dismissive.

'Did she really not know A-sama's whereabouts?'

'But if that was the case, the clue was cut off.'

'Did I really have to go find Uchiha Jin?'

"Your crown prince is right here."

Just then, the door to the Hokage's office opened.

Hearing Jin's voice from the doorway, both the seated Tsunade and the standing Kumogakure's envoy team instinctively turned to look.

Then they saw... a completely fleshless white skull held in Jin's hand!

"The recent temperatures are high, so it decomposed relatively quickly. My apologies."

Under the stunned gazes of everyone in the room, Jin's tone was as calm as if he were talking about eating or drinking.
