"Lady Tsunade is missing?"
Satoru fell into thought upon hearing Kakashi's words.
Then, he formed hand signs and unleashed a sensory Ninjutsu, a perception far exceeding his usual capabilities, radiating outwards from him.
Many dots appeared in his mind.
These light dots were all the lives that had been affected by his nerves, everyone who had been caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Including some Summoning Beasts.
He directed his perception towards Tsunade and found that she had vanished.
"Is she dead? No, that can't be right. I pay special attention to important characters, especially regarding their life force."
Satoru frowned slightly, unable to sense Tsunade's presence.
Although he couldn't constantly monitor everyone, it shouldn't be so easy for his tracking to be removed without any issues.
To abduct Tsunade and remove my coordinates, such ability… it seems the Kara is finally surfacing.
Kakashi watched him form hand signs, knowing he was using some sensory Ninjutsu: "How is it? Did you find her?"
"No, she has completely vanished from my perception. The enemy's ability is very strong, extremely strong."
He had never seen anyone capable of eliminating his nerves, besides Orochimaru and Kabuto.
It was a pity that the nerves left on Tsunade were from the Fourth Shinobi World War period and hadn't been specially enhanced. If they were his current nerves, the opponent would have a much harder time breaking through.
"Then it seems another organization similar to the Akatsuki Organization has emerged in this world. Didn't Jiraiya-senpai say that the Child of Prophecy would bring peace?" Kakashi sighed at the news.
At the same time, he was somewhat wary of this organization's existence.
One must know that Konoha's strength has greatly advanced since the advent of Scientific Ninja Tools.
Not to mention Konoha's current system and training methods, which produce a large number of talents every year and are constantly improving. In just a few years, they have recovered to their combat strength from the Fourth Shinobi World War.
"War cannot be eliminated. We can only make peace last longer. It seems no one wants us to achieve this easily," Satoru said.
"Now, we can only rely on the Village's strength to find Lady Tsunade. I hope we can find some clues. If you find any, call me as soon as possible. I will go all out to eliminate anyone who threatens peace."
Satoru declared forcefully.
This was his era. All villains, once discovered, would be dealt with.
There was no need for the new generation to bear the burden; dangers should be eliminated before they could take shape.
It was a bit regrettable that his Shadow Clones, spread across the world, had only found some peripheral presences of the enemy, unable to locate their main headquarters at all.
These days, he had also discovered the Kara's development and was now using Shadow Clones to strike hard.
Unfortunately, the effect was minimal.
His Shadow Clones were also limited.
Even wandering through various countries, he could only deal with some peripheral members.
It seemed their headquarters had a special device, making it impossible for him to find.
Even when controlling peripheral members of the Kara, they were quickly exposed.
Clearly, the Kara must have obtained some intelligence about him and developed methods to crack his techniques.
Perhaps even fatal methods.
Kakashi heard this, but he didn't know why Satoru's hostility was so great.
Even if the Akatsuki Organization were to be reborn now, facing Konoha's Ninja, they would surely suffer a crushing defeat.
The current Konoha was incomparable to the Konoha of the past.
Its combat power alone had increased significantly.
Especially the high-end combat power.
"Yes, I'll tell you. By the way, congratulations! You'll be a grandfather soon!"
Kakashi said, finishing the serious topic, then spoke to Satoru.
Over the years, he had come to terms with things; living alone was quite good.
Even though Satoru's sons and daughters were married and likely to have children soon, making Satoru a grandfather, he still felt a bit envious at the thought.
Satoru had strong combat power and lived a very good life, handling both so well. He really didn't know how he did it.
"That's still a while away. My kids are on their honeymoon now. I hope they'll come back and give me a big, chubby grandson or granddaughter!" Satoru cheered up when he spoke of this.
A house full of children and grandchildren; he hadn't achieved it in his previous life, but he would finally achieve it in this one.
There was no greater happiness than this.
"Oh, right, I heard the Taketori Clan has also joined Konoha's big family?"
Satoru suddenly asked.
The Taketori Clan, an old allied family of the Hyuga, had always been one of the clans providing high-level guardian combat power to the Land of Fire's Daimyo and other high-ranking officials. Recently, he heard that due to Konoha's policies and the Ninja Alliance's policies, they had now joined Konoha's big family.
They were already building their clan compound.
It was even being built by the Hyuga Clan's company.
"Yes, the world is developing, and the Taketori Clan also wants to integrate into the new era. Invited by the Hyuga Clan, they joined Konoha's side," Kakashi said: "The Hyuga Clan's construction company is very impressive. I estimate the compound will be completed soon. Do you want to go see it then?"
Since the establishment of the World Ninja Association, the Hyuga Clan has produced many one-star architectural masters, and even two-star architectural masters, all of whom are Ninja.
With the advantage of the Byakugan, in terms of architecture, as long as they study a little, the advantage is simply too great.
"That's really great. I won't go; I still have things to do, and I'm quite busy." Satoru refused. His Unmeasurable Empty Place · Modified was still undergoing in-depth research. Besides improving Konoha's combat power, he didn't have time to deal with too many matters outside of his family.
The earlier the Ninjutsu to prevent future prediction appeared, the greater the changes in the future.
So he and Orochimaru and the others were also accelerating their pace.
Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes: "I really don't understand why you, a Deputy Director, have so much to do. Isn't it enough to just monitor Orochimaru? Sigh!"
He truly didn't understand. Satoru, by all accounts, should have nothing to do now.
Wouldn't it be nice to go and see things more often?
If he were retired, he would wander around and then go to bookstores to see if there were any books he wanted to read.
He heard that a fanfiction of make-out paradise had recently been released at the bookstore.
He had been eyeing it for a long time, but unfortunately, as Hokage, he was too busy and had no time to read it. It was truly a pity.
He heard that fanfiction was very good.
"That won't do. Strength still needs to progress, otherwise, how can we suppress the demons and monsters who want to cause trouble?" Satoru chuckled.
Strength was the source of a stable life.
Of course, when he had time, he would also go around and see things. As Orochimaru said before, not relaxing the pressure was unacceptable.
So recently, he had adjusted his schedule.
Besides researching Ninjutsu, much of his time was also spent living his own life and finding things he enjoyed doing.
However, going to see the Taketori Clan's entry ceremony was unnecessary.
That wasn't essential.
Nor was it something he was interested in.
If it were ten years ago, he might have gone to join the fun.
After all, the Taketori Clan was also a prominent clan.
He wondered if the person named Taketori Tenma had retired from the Land of Fire's Imperial Guard. If he had, he should be there now.
