Although Konoha is called a village, its scale cannot be summarized as a village-level administrative unit. In this highly armed military organization, the current total number of ninjas is around 20,000, and the number of ordinary people is over 200,000… So with such a large population base, there are naturally all kinds of people. Simply put, among so many people, Danzo Shimura is definitely not the only one who wants to stir up trouble. There must be others who are restless.
For example, Habara.
Habara directly told Shisui Uchiha the truth of the previous "Nine-Tails incident." In theory, this should cause some changes. Given Shisui's personality and stance, if he really wanted to protect the Uchiha and would take some positive action, then the Uchiha clan might experience some internal conflicts in the future… Of course, this might be years later. Shisui Uchiha was still too young at this time, and it was difficult for him to cause any major waves.
And Habara? After doing this kind of thing many times, sooner or later he would receive a banner from someone. The banner would either say "Doesn't understand medicine, but saves countless lives," or "Tireless, ruining countless people."
After leaving Shisui Uchiha, Habara found a shop and bought a fruit basket, then prepared to visit Kushina Uzumaki.
Perhaps because Kakashi's performance in the Land of Wind campaign was very good, it could be considered a sweep of the previous slump. This led to Kushina Uzumaki's complexion looking much better than last time when Habara saw her again… When the disciple had a moment of glory, the elders naturally felt happy.
"Habara, your trip to the Land of Wind was very exciting. I didn't expect you to complete the mission in that way. I can only say that it shocked a bunch of old guys," Kushina Uzumaki immediately praised him as soon as she saw Habara.
Honestly, Habara's way of doing things was very much in line with Kushina Uzumaki's values. She had always liked words like "charge," "confront," and "explode," because in many cases, these were the ways she preferred to deal with things.
Simply put, she was the kind of person who liked to solve problems with firepower. She believed that as long as the firepower was sufficient, all problems would be solved.
Faced with this kind of praise, Habara routinely acted humble. Then he emphasized that the Kazekage first refused the peace treaty and showed no sincerity during the negotiations; secondly, the Kazekage also wanted to kill the Konoha envoys, so they were forced to act in self-defense.
And during this process of self-defense, the Kazekage accidentally died.
Kushina Uzumaki listened with great interest. She nodded continuously as she listened, "Hmm, seizing the moral high ground? Hmm, highlighting Sunagakure's shortsightedness and cruelty? Got it, I understand everything."
"…"
It could only be said that this lady's way of understanding the problem was very accurate.
In short, after briefly chatting about the Land of Wind, Habara began to talk about the real purpose of his visit:
"Lady Kushina Uzumaki, I wonder if you are interested in establishing a civilian ninja mutual aid organization in Konoha…
On the one hand, considering that the war is about to end, many ninjas coming off the battlefield are facing some problems. They need psychological counseling and some special care. And if someone can help them at this time and let them get out of the wartime state as soon as possible, it will be a good thing for both them and Konoha.
On the other hand, many civilian ninjas don't get suitable learning opportunities after leaving the academy. At this time, if there is an organization that can invest energy in the re-education of ninjas, it will greatly help to enhance the average quality and overall strength of Konoha ninjas. The private tutoring style of small team leader education may not be perfect. If the leading ninja of a newly formed ninja squad is a jonin, that's fine, but if the captain is only a chunin, it's hard to say how much help they can provide to genin…"
The reason for establishing the organization was actually irrelevant. Or rather, no matter what the reason was, as long as Kushina could approve, it was fine.
Plus, things had to be done step by step, there was no need to rush. The problem Habara was facing now was to establish this organization. He couldn't do it by himself. He didn't have that much appeal, and his status was not that suitable. But if Kushina Uzumaki formed such an organization, it would be perfect.
And Habara's suggestion was on the restrained side. He was thinking of first establishing a "civilian mutual aid organization." Even if ninjas joined such an organization, their original work and organizational relationships would not change. This was very different from a formal organization like "Root."
But even if it was a civilian mutual aid organization, if Habara took the lead in establishing it, it would make him seem to have very strong political demands and ambitions. This would definitely arouse the vigilance of certain people. But if Kushina Uzumaki did such a thing, it could be said to be perfectly justified and easy.
If anyone dared to say no, she could probably shove Naruto's butt right in their face.
Don't even mention a "civilian" mutual aid organization of ninjas. Even if it were a formal organization with establishment like Root, if Kushina submitted an application, there was a high probability that the Third Hokage would agree.
Kushina Uzumaki looked at Habara with a faint smile. She wasn't stupid, and Habara had been playing his cards face up from the beginning, so it was impossible for her not to know what Habara really wanted to do.
But she approved of Habara's idea, because that was what her husband had planned to do. And regarding the matter of establishing an organization that Habara mentioned, honestly, even without such a proposal, she had already planned to do so… Some young people who were originally favored by Minato Namikaze were quickly marginalized because of his death. Kushina Uzumaki had to find a way to place these ninjas. Therefore, she needed a new organization.
Without Kushina Uzumaki, the status of these ninjas would soon fall to a level similar to that of gatekeepers. But now that Kushina Uzumaki was still alive, they wouldn't be that miserable.
Originally, Kushina did want to go all in and ask the Third Hokage for an organizational quota, but that would seem a bit unreasonable. Now that Habara had made such a suggestion, Kushina wanted to see what he would do and what he could achieve.
"Take the lead in establishing a civilian ninja mutual aid organization? It's not impossible… Then what should this organization be called?" Kushina Uzumaki asked.
"…"
Habara was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Kushina Uzumaki to agree so simply. So the rhetoric he had prepared in advance was somewhat useless. The content he hadn't prepared in advance was actually asked by Kushina Uzumaki.
What should this organization be called? Uh, Independent Ninja Federation? Ninja Economic Mutual Aid Committee?
Habara thought for a moment, and felt that it would be better to be ordinary and inconspicuous at this time, "How about the Konoha Ninja Mutual Aid Group?"
He thought that it would be better to keep a low profile at the beginning.
Kushina Uzumaki smiled, "Not very good, but… it's okay, let's go with this for now."
Since she approved of Habara's suggestion, it also meant that she acquiesced to Habara joining such an organization. And since Habara was one of her own, he immediately began to seek help from Kushina Uzumaki… After all, it was a "mutual aid group."
"Lady Kushina, there's one more thing I'd like to ask for your help with," Saying that, Habara took out a scroll and handed it to Kushina Uzumaki, "Could you please take a look at this seal to see if there are any loopholes, and if so, how to improve it."
What Habara handed over was the design diagram of the Six-Rin Seal. Honestly, although Kushina Uzumaki was the top sealing master in the ninja world at present, the main reason why Habara gave the sealing formula to her was not to continue to improve this seal, but to show a sense of trust.
"A very interesting sealing formula…" Kushina Uzumaki said immediately after taking the scroll and looking at it.
As the saying goes, an expert knows the goods as soon as they take action. Her mouth didn't stop, "A seal directly applied to the meridian system?"
She saw the nature of the seal at a glance, and then her face was a little surprised… Ninjas who dared to tamper with the meridian system were ruthless people, because it was easy to ruin themselves.
"Yes," Habara nodded.
"Is this used to seal or store something? Chakra?"
"No, it's used to seal natural energy. For some reason, my body can directly accommodate natural energy," Habara said simply.
"Natural energy? I heard about it from Teacher Jiraiya and Minato…" Kushina Uzumaki was even more surprised, and then she suddenly realized… No wonder Habara could show such combat power, it turned out that he could use natural energy.
"Actually, during that incident, I was in some kind of overclocked state. Under normal circumstances, I can't show such combat power… This power has very high risks, so the seal is the most important thing," Habara said.
Kushina Uzumaki nodded, "The seal has two openings, different ways of releasing energy, right? There is no problem with the functional design of this seal, but it has no encryption measures at all, there are serious security problems, and the adjustment ability is too crude…"
In the eyes of an expert, the seal that Habara created himself based on the design diagram of Orochimaru's curse mark was of course full of loopholes. The key was that this seal really didn't have any encryption measures… Habara could dismantle the seal on the spot during the Nine-Tails incident, didn't this just show the crudeness of this seal?
Kushina Uzumaki stared at the seal for a while longer. Now she was looking at the formula instructions written by Habara. During this process, she waved her hand at Habara without looking up.
"Go, come back in two or three days."
Habara still wanted to ask what she planned to do about the organization, but at this time, Kushina Uzumaki's mind was completely focused on the seal.
At this time, she looked like a middle school teacher correcting students' test papers.
So, Habara could only leave this "office" just like that.
