Hokage: I Traveled Through Time With The Tenseigan

*

"Mito-sama, do you want to see me?"

"Yes, you said you would come with me after work. I don't know what Grandma wants to do. It may be about Kushina's affairs, so be careful when you go there."

After telling Shigeru to leave with her after work, Tsunade hurriedly left.

There were still too many things waiting for her in the medical department.

Strange.

Shigeru was a little confused. If something had happened, he could have gone there now instead of waiting to go to Senju's ancestral home with Tsunade after work.

This was likely to lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.

It was foreseeable that as long as he went to Senju's ancestral home and met Uzumaki Mito, the Hokage office would definitely be uneasy.

Because Uzumaki Mito's identity was so special, every move affected the nerves of the Third Hokage and others.

Forget it, why think so much? It was Uzumaki Mito who wanted to see him, not him who took the initiative to visit. In that case, why worry about these things?

It only adds trouble to himself.

In the lounge, Shigeru assembled various materials, and a brand-new puppet was born in his hands.

Maybe it was because it was the first time he made it, but the appearance of the puppet was a bit ugly.

"It's so ugly!"

Shigeru knew he had succeeded in making a puppet for the first time, but he was also disappointed.

He had created a defective product, one that couldn't even stand on its own.

Even if puppets are used as consumables, they should not be made too abstract. They shouldn't look more like animals than humans.

After studying for a while, Shigeru couldn't stand it anymore and decisively dismantled the puppet. The materials were the cheapest anyway, so he didn't feel bad about damaging them.

It was better to waste some materials than to make a bunch of ugly things.

Taking apart the puppet, Shigeru began to summarize what he had learned.

After a while, Shigeru realized he had entered a misunderstanding.

There were very few puppet masters in Konoha. They were as rare as giant pandas in his previous life. There were also very few related books and scrolls, most of which had been obtained from Sand Shinobi Village through various means.

The puppets produced by Sand Shinobi Village were strangely shaped. Because the puppets needed to have various functions and attack methods, the designs weren't beautiful at all.

Shigeru was not a puppet master, and there was no need for him to make puppets in the style of Sand Shinobi Village.

With the Rinnegan, he didn't even need to control the puppet and give it life. It was enough to give direct orders.

Therefore, the puppet didn't need so many functions or to add all kinds of complicated parts.

With this idea in mind, Shigeru continued to assemble it.

Soon, a humanoid puppet no more than fifty centimeters tall stood on the table.

The materials on hand were limited, and the final product was unsatisfactory.

He just needed to look for opportunities to buy more parts and materials.

Also, there was no need to pursue humanoid puppets.

He could use some powerful animal carcasses to make puppets instead.

This seemed to be a good idea.

There were too few puppet masters in Konoha, and the materials were relatively expensive. Coupled with the influence of the general environment, anyone who used the corpses of ninjas to make puppets in Konoha would definitely be labeled as dark.

Shigeru was not interested in using ninja corpses to make puppets.

Compared to ninja corpses, those powerful animals in the ninja world were undoubtedly the best choice; they were also very mobile and could even be used as mounts.

After making up his mind, Shigeru decided to collect some animal carcasses.

After lunch, Shigeru went to the Hokage office building and issued a task to collect animal carcasses. The reward for the task was linked to the strength of the animal.

Because of the influence of chakra, there were many powerful creatures in the ninja world.

For example, a wild boar the size of a house, a giant snake the size of a train, and a bird with wings spread like a fighter jet.

Such creatures were not uncommon in the ninja world, and there were even plenty of them.

Konoha released some related tasks every year, asking ninjas in the village to clean up these creatures.

In addition to their strong strength and enormous size, these creatures had another characteristic: their meat was not delicious.

If a cleanup mission was accepted, one would only choose to kill the creature. After taking part of the body to prove completion of the mission, the rest would be discarded.

The corpses of these creatures were worthless aside from a little research value.

After releasing the task, Shigeru returned to the hospital to work.

"Sir Hokage, this is a mission commission compiled by the mission department today."

The mission department sorted out the daily missions and sent them to the Hokage office for screening by the Third Hokage.

For important tasks, the Third Hokage would personally dispatch a suitable ninja team to carry them out.

For unimportant tasks, they would be left to the mission department and sent by the village.

Ninjas were free to pick them up.

For ninjas, the income from tasks and commissions could support many of them.

Even in Konoha, if a large number of external tasks and commissions were lost, more than half of the ninjas in the village would face unemployment and hunger.

Because ninjas did not engage in production, and the village did not have enough positions to support so many ninjas.

Too many failed tasks and commissions affected credibility. If the number of external tasks and commissions decreased, it would be a disaster for those ninjas who relied on executing tasks and commissions to survive.

This was why, even during a war, even when the fighting on the front lines was tight, the village would dispatch a group of ninjas to carry out tasks and commissions.

No matter if it was a small ninja village or one of the five major ninja villages, they could not lose credibility regarding tasks or neglect task entrustment.

Sand Shinobi Village had become poorer and poorer since the Second Ninja War.

The fundamental reason was that the daimyo was angry and thought that his investment was wasted.

He believed that Sand Shinobi Village was not strong enough, so he reduced his investment in the village.

Village investment.

He also handed over a large number of tasks and commissions from the Land of Wind to Konoha.

This directly led to Sand Shinobi Village tightening its belt.

Therefore, the Third Hokage attached great importance to the tasks entrusted by the mission department and would personally sort them out every day. Simple tasks with low rewards were left to the mission department.

For tasks requiring attention, he selected a suitable team to carry them out.

As usual, the Third Hokage quickly screened various tasks, but when he selected one of the tasks, the hand holding the file paused.

"Collect a large number of powerful creature corpses. The task rewards are linked to the animal corpses. This task is valid for a long time."

The Third Hokage read the mission content with a pipe in his mouth, then stared at the mission poster and fell into deep thought.

Hyuga Shigeru!

Why did this kid issue such a mission to collect the corpses of powerful creatures for a long time? Is it for research?

Shigeru applied to study in the medical department, and the reason for becoming a medical ninja was stated in the report: to treat blood stains.

It was not surprising that such a move was carried out in order to cure diseases.

Many ninjas even conducted experiments to study Ninjutsu and improve their strength. Orochimaru often did such things.

A long-term mission was definitely a boon to the village and its ninjas, and it was also a mission to collect the corpses of powerful creatures.

After thinking for a while, the Third Hokage said to the people in the mission department, "Go to the medical department and ask Tsunade to see this document. By the way, ask Hyuga Shigeru to confirm the corresponding rewards for various biological corpses."
