Hashirama nodded towards Torifū, then turned to the crowd: "The village will be implementing a very important plan for the foreseeable future."
Hearing Hashirama say this, everyone was curious, wondering if it was related to last night's turmoil.
Hashirama didn't beat around the bush and stated directly: "In the coming period, the village will be capturing the Tailed Beasts."
As soon as he said this, everyone was a little stunned. They thought it was related to last night's events, but they didn't expect that they would be capturing the Tailed Beasts.
According to the records in the books, the Tailed Beasts are very powerful. There are nine in total, each with different abilities, and even if they are killed, they will be resurrected after a period of time.
The Hokage actually wanted to capture such things now?
"Hiruzen, Danzo, Akimichi Torifū, you will follow Sarutobi Sasuke next week to capture the Eight-Tails."
"Kagami, Koharu, Homura, you will follow Uchiha Teruya to capture the Seven-Tails."
Hiruzen and the others immediately accepted the order without any hesitation. The importance of this mission could be seen by the ninja leading the team.
Sasuke and Teruya were both clan leaders, with unparalleled strength and status. Ninja of this level had to carry out capture missions.
It was clear how much the Hokage valued this matter.
"Torifū…"
Regarding Torifū, Hashirama genuinely didn't know whether to arrange a mission for him.
In terms of strength, Torifū was undoubtedly a powerful ninja, but sending him, who was only seven years old, to capture the Tailed Beasts…
Hashirama really couldn't get over that psychological hurdle, or perhaps he was afraid that if an accident occurred, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the Kumotsuru Ancestor from yesterday.
After all, the man gave Konoha a great gift yesterday, and today he would send his descendants to carry out such a dangerous mission.
He felt somewhat uneasy.
Torifū also saw his teacher's dilemma. If his teacher assigned him a task, he would break his own principles.
As a disciple, receiving the teacher's guidance and care, he should share his worries.
What's more, he had even fought Uchiha Madara, so what was there to be afraid of?
"Sensei, I am already a ninja."
Hearing this, Hashirama paused for a moment. Yes, Torifū was already a ninja, and he had personally awarded him the forehead protector.
He had said long ago that Torifū was different from other children, but why was he so hesitant today?
Thinking of this, Hashirama no longer hesitated: "Kumotsuru Torifū, follow Tobirama to capture the Six-Tails, leave next week."
"Naori's strength is not enough, so she doesn't need to participate in this mission."
Hearing this, Naori was not too disappointed; after all, she also had a clear understanding of herself.
Although she had made a lot of progress in the past year, it would be a fantasy to let her capture the Tailed Beasts.
It would simply be sending snacks to the Tailed Beasts.
Of course, Naori was also very envious that Torifū could follow Tobirama to capture the Six-Tails.
But after all, Torifū's strength was there. Even Hiruzen lost more than he won in sparring with Torifū.
Not to mention herself; she had never won.
[Ding - Received quest: Capture the Six-Tails, Quest level: S]
Torifū knew that this system would definitely appear: 'S-level quest, I should get a lot of Peace Points, right?'
Torifū also had some selfish motives in wanting to carry out the mission.
With his current strength, following a powerful ninja to capture the Tailed Beasts shouldn't be a problem.
And acting with Tobirama would be even less of a problem.
Although Tobirama's strength was not as good as his teacher's, he was only second to his teacher.
Moreover, the strength of the Six-Tails was also quite satisfactory among the Tailed Beasts, which undoubtedly reduced the difficulty a lot.
But he still needed to be vigilant; none of the Tailed Beasts were pushovers.
Even the weakest Tailed Beast was not someone anyone could mess with.
After assigning the tasks, Hashirama gave a few more instructions and dismissed Hiruzen and the others.
Hiruzen and the others were already seventeen years old, and there was not much they could learn from Tobirama, so they didn't need to practice anything.
And Torifū and Naori began today's training.
In the past year, Hashirama did not blindly teach the two taijutsu, but began to train according to Torifū and Naori's strengths.
This allowed both of them to make a lot of progress.
It was a pity that Hashirama was not very good at genjutsu, so Naori could only go home to study with her father or grandfather in terms of genjutsu.
After a morning of training, Torifū and Naori were exhausted and sweating profusely.
Hashirama's training method just controlled the two people's limit value, and would not burden the body, but also could maximize their improvement.
The two of them didn't complain about this. Although they were a little tired, they could clearly feel the increase in their strength.
"Let's go, Naori, let's go eat." Torifū wiped his sweat and said to Naori.
Naori shook her head. She hadn't rested well last night, and today's morning training made her unable to hold on.
"Torifū, I won't go today, I want to go back and rest for a while."
Torifū expressed his understanding when he heard this. Because he was afraid that Naori would faint on the way, Torifū sent Naori all the way back to her home.
Seeing her enter the clan grounds, he turned and left.
With Naori not around, there was no need to go to that barbecue restaurant. He casually found a small shop, bought some food, and went home.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he remembered the matter of borrowing a hen to incubate eggs.
So he retreated and walked in the direction of the Katō family. The Katō family and the Torifū family were neighbors, and it didn't take long to arrive.
Three-year-old Dan was playing in the yard. Seeing Torifū coming, he ran into the house.
After a while, Mamiko came out with a smile, and Dan timidly followed behind Mamiko, poking out a small head.
"Torifū, how are you these days?"
Torifū also smiled: "Not bad, Aunt Mamiko."
Then he said: "I came to borrow a hen from you today."
Mamiko was a little puzzled after hearing this. What was he going to do borrowing a hen for no reason? Did he want to eat chicken?
"Does Torifū want to eat chicken? Come in, Auntie will butcher a chicken."
Seeing that Mamiko had misunderstood, Torifū quickly said: "No, Aunt Mamiko, I accidentally picked up two eggs."
"I feel they have a special connection with me, and I want to hatch them to make a pet or something, but…"
Hearing this, Mamiko understood that he wanted her hen to help hatch the eggs. What a joke.
"Hahaha, so that's how it is. Wait, I'll find you a strong one."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the chicken coop in the yard.
Little Dan stood there. Torifū wanted to squat down and tease him, but he cried and ran away.
"Why is this kid so afraid of me?"
From the first time they met, Dan had always been a little afraid of Torifū. Even Mamiko didn't know what was going on.
There was no way; children always have people they don't like.
After a while, Mamiko came back, holding a white hen in her hand, which looked very strong!
It was twice the size of an ordinary hen.
"Come Torifū, see if this one is suitable."
