Chapter 327 An extra brother-in-law
Even so, Xia Li was quite happy to see Konoha prospering under his leadership.
However, Konoha is just a 'village' after all. Even if it is not an ordinary village, it is relatively not that difficult to govern.
If you add all the land in the world, it will not be so easy.
Maybe that's okay, after all, the area with human habitation in this world is still too small. The Kingdom of Wind is all desert, and the Kingdom of Earth is a desert where it is difficult for humans to survive.
The Kingdom of Water is a small land, and the Kingdom of Thunder has too many mountains and mountains, which is actually not suitable for large-scale human survival.
Only the Fire Country has the most suitable living environment, both in terms of terrain and climate.
Therefore, even if it is truly unified, it may not be that difficult to govern.
"That's it for today. You can get off work after arranging Naruto's affairs. I'll go take a look at Sasuke." Xia Li said at this time.
"Okay." Nara Shikaku nodded, and then left.
Xia Li was standing on the Hokage Rock at this time, looking at Konoha below. Even at dusk, there were still countless people working peacefully in Konoha, showing a smile.
The next moment, Xia Li's figure disappeared on the Huoying Rock.
…………
Longdi Cave is also one of the three holy places that Xia Li visits least frequently.
When Xia Li first stepped here, many snakes sensed Xia Li's existence.
For example, Wan Snake, after sensing Xia Li, he just rolled his body and shrank up. Couldn't he hide if he couldn't offend him?
Wan She hasn't had fresh blood for a long time. After all, neither Xia Li nor Sasuke can satisfy Wan She's perverted requirements.
Fortunately for Sasuke, after all, he usually wouldn't summon Wan She, but Xia Li would occasionally summon him, and Wan She couldn't refuse Xia Li because of White Snake Sage's request, which gave him a headache.
Wan She sighed at this time, and didn't know what Orochimaru was doing these days. Although he was not dead, he didn't know why he rarely used psychic skills anymore, and naturally he wouldn't provide him with blood food.
Without comparison, there is no harm. Wan She suddenly felt that Orochimaru's face was so pleasing to the eye.
Wan She misses Orochimaru a little, Wan She thinks this is the most orthodox psychic in Ryūchi Cave!
Naturally, Xia Li didn't know Wan She's inner slander. He quickly sensed Sasuke's chakra and came to a relatively grand palace.
"Since you're here, come in." At this time, a somewhat lazy voice sounded in Xia Li's ears. It was the voice of Immortal White Snake.
Xia Li walked into the palace without thinking much. Before, Xia Li would have been wary of Immortal White Snake, but now, his strength is his confidence.
Soon, Xia Li saw the White Snake Sage coiled on the throne, and Sasuke who seemed to be half-snake over there.
"How is Sasuke's training going?" Xia Li asked directly without any nonsense.
"Who knows? Maybe he's dead." White Snake Immortal said casually. It has seen too many humans come here for power, but most of them will become the withered bones here.
The Immortal Mode of Longdi Cave is the most dangerous of the three Immortal Modes, because it is quite extreme, and the White Snake Immortal does not have that patience.
Usually, the White Snake Immortal directly uses his fangs to inject natural energy into them. If they can resist it, teach them the Immortal mode. If they can't resist it, then they will be eaten by their own men.
Moreover, even if you can survive it, you may get completely lost in the process of practicing the immortal mode and lose your life.
Sasuke has now passed the first stage, but White Snake Sage believes that even for the Uchiha clan to practice the Sage mode of Ryūchi Cave, it is not that easy, and the possibility of death is very high.
And if you die, you will die. White Snake Sennin doesn't care much about Sasuke's life or death. It is normal for the other party to die in pursuit of power. What does it have to do with him?
Xia Li didn't pay much attention to what White Snake Sage said. He didn't think Sasuke would fall here.
It can be said that the sage mode of Ryūchi Cave is the most suitable for Sasuke. After all, like the sage mode of Mt. Myoki, Sasuke will probably return with hatred in the first step, unless Sasuke can really realize the truth and see through the world of mortals.
But that kind of Sasuke is not what Xia Li wants to see, and there is no specific training method for the Immortal Mode in Shigulin.
The first generation Hokage was able to cultivate it simply because the opponent himself is a fairy body, and the compatibility with the fairy mode is too high, so only the fairy mode here in Ryūchi Cave does not need to reach the state of selflessness and integration into nature.
If they were all like the requirements of the sage mode in Myoboku Mountain, it is estimated that there would be no battle between Kabuto Yakushi and the Uchiha brothers in the original work. Kabuto Yakushi would not be arrogant enough to deal with the Uchiha brothers alone.
It was the perfect sage mode of Ryūchi Cave that gave Yakushi Kabuto this confidence, and then he was cheated and banned by Uchiha Itachi. Without the rule-based touching Sharingan eye technique, the final result of that battle would have been It’s hard to say.
It can be said that Kabuto Yakushi has been able to grow to such an extent with that status. Even if he is a bit inhuman, he can indeed be regarded as the pinnacle of ordinary people.
"How long has he been in this state?" Xia Li asked.
"It's probably been a few days." White Snake Immortal said after thinking for a while.
"Really?" Xia Li nodded, and then looked at Sasuke, what would his Sage mode be like?
The most orthodox Ryujidong Sage Mode is probably the one like Yakushi Kabuto's. After all, Ryujidong's Sage Mode pursues ultimate power and doesn't care about changes in appearance.
After thinking for a while, Xia Li said to the White Snake Sage, "If Sasuke wakes up, let him return to the village quickly. I have something to ask him about."
It was obvious from Sasuke's appearance that he wouldn't be able to finish it for a while, and Xia Li never thought about waiting here for Sasuke to finish.
Immortal White Snake just snorted, not agreeing but not rejecting either. Immortal White Snake stared at Xia Li with a pair of snake eyes, and then clicked his tongue a few times.
Obviously, Immortal White Snake is sensing Xia Li's strength, and Longdi Cave's immortal skills are indeed unique in terms of perception.
After sensing it, the White Snake Immortal was a little surprised. In fact, it did not sense Xia Li's accurate strength, but not sensing it was also a result.
It can prove that Xia Li's strength may have exceeded the range of its perception.
The White Snake Immortal was still staring at Xia Li and thinking, if they can still take that road in the future, can they go further?
Now not only the path of ninjas, but also the paths of these ninja beasts are blocked. Fortunately, ninjas can use ninjutsu to sew various bloodlines, but what about them?
The three holy places only rely on magic to guarantee the minimum limit. If it were not for the ninja beasts of the three holy places, the upper limit would be pitifully low...
Immortal White Snake looked at Xia Li, hoping not to disappoint them.
They no longer care about the children of prophecy in the prophecy. What meaning does the life and death of the ninja world mean to them? It just changes one after another.
Xia Li's figure soon disappeared into Ryūchi Cave, and White Snake Sage also looked at Sasuke at this time.
The fluctuations of natural energy in Sasuke's body are getting closer and closer to a perfect state, and the opponent's face slowly turns to a dragon.
To be honest, the opponent's progress surprised White Snake Immortal. He has probably reached the last level now. As long as he takes the last step, he will probably be completely successful, right?
It's a pity that the other party doesn't seem to want to change his appearance much. If the other party really didn't mind the change, he might have succeeded, and he would probably still be in immortal mode permanently.
This is the characteristic of the Ryūchidō Sage mode. Transforming oneself is the most natural state. Since Sasuke does not want to transform himself into the most natural state, nature cannot last long, and he has fallen into the same state as Miao Muzan. The side is almost done.
White Snake Sage shook his head and looked at Uchiha Sasuke. The fate of the other person might have been changed.
"In this era, Asura and Indra may no longer be the protagonists." The White Snake Immortal murmured and then lay down on the throne to rest. It was also an old man and did not want to move easily. It reduced its consumption and waited for Xia. The day when Li succeeded.
…………
A few days later, Xia Li still had no intention of leaving for the Kingdom of Iron in Konoha.
"Hokage-sama, is it time to set off for the Kingdom of Iron? If Sasuke has not left seclusion, it will be the same for Kakashi to follow him." Nara Shikaku reminded at this time.
"Just wait for two more days, there's no rush." Xia Li counted the time and said. Nara Shikaku was a little helpless. In fact, he had proposed it two days ago. However, Xia Li answered like this at the time and still answers like this now.
This made Nara Shikaku wonder whether Xia Li was more biased towards Sasuke in his choice of the next generation of Hokage? Otherwise, why would he have been waiting for Sasuke?
Not only that, in the past few days, Xia Li's work status has been unprecedentedly good. She finished most of the work almost quickly, and then seemed to be waiting for some news.
And the same is true today. Xia Li finished all the things early. Even if there are new things later, they can wait until tomorrow to deal with them.
At this time, suddenly an ANBU came in through the window.
When Nara Shikaku thought there was another emergency, Xia Li's eyes lit up, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He finally waited, and then Xia Li disappeared directly into the Hokage's office.
This makes Nara Shikaku a little strange, because it seems that it was Xia Li who kept the ANBU staring at something, and now it finally happened.
At this time, Nara Shikaku thought it was not Sasuke's problem, because the ANBU probably couldn't keep an eye on Sasuke.
So, what is it that makes Xia Li pay so much attention?
Nara Shikaku looked at the ANBU with some confusion, and then asked his question.
The ANBU didn't hide anything, and told what Xia Li asked him to stare at, and Nara Shikaku also smiled bitterly after hearing it, so that's it.
In Konoha's ninja hospital, Xia Li soon came to a passage.
There are already two people waiting anxiously here, it is Yamanaka Haiichi and Yamanaka Ino.
"Hokage-sama?" Yamanaka Haiichi also saw Xia Li first and subconsciously said hello.
"No, it's not working time now, just call me Xia Li, father-in-law." Xia Li said with a bitter smile.
"But it should be working time now?" Yamanaka Hai calculated the time and asked a little doubtfully.
"Well, I got off work early, just leave the rest to Shikaku." Xia Li said and came to Ino's side, held Ino's little hand, and comforted Ino.
"Yes." Yamanaka Haiichi also nodded, and smiled when he saw the scene in front of him. He really found his son-in-law in vain, and said, "It's okay, Tsunade-sama is here."
"Father-in-law, you should be the most worried right now. I saw you were still pacing back and forth before I came." Xia Li said with a smile.
Yamanaka Haiichi was a little embarrassed. Could he not be anxious? After all, his wife is also an older mother, and giving birth to a child at this age still carries certain risks, no matter how well-maintained she is.
"It'll be fine." Xia Li hugged Ino gently and said.
"Well, I know, but I still can't help but worry." Ino also forced a smile, and then leaned into Xia Li's arms, "Xia Li, if there are more things on your side, just deal with them first. It’s okay.”
Ino thought Xia Li had left everything behind and came here, and was a little touched.
"The matter has been dealt with. These days are also the time when my mother-in-law is giving birth, so I have been working overtime these days, just waiting for today." Xia Li also said.
"Yeah." Ino didn't say anything more after hearing this. She leaned into Xia Li's arms and waited there. Ino also felt a lot more at ease.
Then, the three people were waiting outside the delivery room. Even Xia Li couldn't do anything about this kind of thing. After all, he couldn't go in.
Of course, it was best for him not to go in. If he went in, it would mean that the development of the matter was beyond his control. He had to use his immortal mode vitality to control it. That would be bad.
After Yamanaka Haiichi said a few words to Xia Li, he no longer cared about Xia Li. He had long lost the image of the calm and reliable middle-aged man he used to be, and he kept walking back and forth anxiously.
Finally, the closed door of the delivery room opened, and Tsunade wiped her sweat from the delivery room and walked out.
Tsunade was a little surprised when she saw Xia Li was there, but she was quickly spotted by Yamanaka Haiichi.
"Tsunade-sama, are my wife and children okay?" Yamanaka Haiichi's voice was a little nervous, and Ino also left Xia Li's arms at this time, and came to the teacher who was also looking at him nervously. .
"The operation went well. Mother and child are safe, and I take good care of them." Tsunade replied.
Tsunade actually wanted to complain. After all, Ino took her there every two days to check on Madam Yamanaka.
Ino was obviously a medical ninja herself, and Tsunade also thought about letting her see it herself. Ino did, but because she was worried that her medical skills were not enough, she still pulled her over every once in a while.
Therefore, Tsunade has already known about Mrs. Yamanaka's physical condition. Basically, there is no guarantee that the success rate of the operation is 100%, and it is definitely more than 90%. That's why these two are so worried.
However, Tsunade also knew that this was not the time to complain, so she accurately answered Yamanaka Haiichi's question.
Yamanaka Haiichi's eyes widened at this moment, and his worried heart finally relaxed. Then he thought about having a son, and finally smiled happily.
He finally had a son. He originally wanted Ino to recruit a son-in-law, and then let Ino be the successor of the Yamanaka clan. But it turned out that Xia Li had already become the Hokage. How could he be their son-in-law? So he let Ino be the son-in-law. The plan to succeed the Yamanaka clan failed.
Now that he has a son, the Yamanaka clan finally has a successor. In fact, Yamanaka Haiichi thinks it's okay to have a daughter. If Xia Li can't be a son-in-law, then the next son-in-law can't be a son-in-law, right?
Therefore, Yamanaka Haiichi doesn't actually care too much about the gender of his offspring. He can only say that his son is better and it is more convenient to take over.
"Um, Tsunade-sama, can I go in now?" Yamanaka Haiichi asked.
"Okay, just be careful," Tsunade said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Tsunade-sama." Yamanaka Haiichi said and walked into the delivery room, and Yamanaka Ino naturally followed.
"Don't you go in and take a look?" Tsunade looked at Xia Li and asked.
"It's not appropriate for me to go in now." Xia Li actually didn't know whether it was appropriate or not, but it probably wasn't appropriate. He came here just to accompany Ino and let her not be so nervous.
"Well, that seems to be the case." Tsunade thought about it and laughed, and said, "It is true that my mother-in-law gives birth to a child, which is not something she encounters often."
Xia Li also nodded. This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a thing.
Tsunade also looked inside the delivery room at this time, listening to the happy voices of the Yamanaka family, and thinking about what it would be like to have a child. Maybe she should have a child while her body is still good?
"I heard that the second Five Shadows Conference is about to begin?" Tsunade suddenly asked.
"Yes." Xia Li nodded. Tsunade was also a consultant. Although she didn't pay much attention to these things, she certainly knew about them.
"The Five Shadows Conference, Grandpa only participated in it once at that time. I never thought that it would be held a second time now." Tsunade sighed a little.
"Tsunade-sensei, do you want to go over and have a look?" Xia Li asked. He actually didn't care much about who he brought with him, and he never thought about having to wait for Sasuke. He waited for so long just to accompany him. It's just Ino.
"I won't go with my old bones. It's quite far." Tsunade said and stretched.
"Tsunade-sensei can't tell how old she is. If you don't believe it, you can ask Jiraiya-sensei." Xia Li raised an eyebrow.
"Him? Forget it." Tsunade laughed and was in a good mood. She said nothing more and did not persuade Xia Li to go to the Kingdom of Iron quickly. She knew that Xia Li knew what was going on and would not miss the time.
At this time, Ino poked his head out of the delivery room and waved to Xia Li to let him in. It must have been that Mrs. Yamanaka had already packed up in the delivery room.
"Go in, don't keep them waiting." Tsunade also said after seeing this.
Xia Li also nodded, and then walked into the ward to meet his brother-in-law.
