My Real Job is Spying on Konoha, but I'm Also its Hokage

Hidden Cloud Village, Raikage's Building

Dodai sat at his desk, flipping through documents. He was the Third Raikage's right-hand man, a wielder of Lava Style, and while being formidably strong himself, he was also the head proctor for the successive Double Liger Bomb tests.

In the Hidden Cloud Village, there was a rule: once 'A' was confirmed as a Raikage candidate, a 'B' must be chosen to be his guard and partner. A and B had a hot-blooded combination technique called the Double Liger Bomb. As the one who could serve as the head proctor for this test, his status in the Cloud Village was not much lower than Danzo Shimura's in Konoha.

Just then, Dodai's eyes suddenly widened. Holy crap, this kid!

What was he seeing? A spy, code-named Number 9527, had actually become Tsunade's student? This was simply outrageous opening the door for outrageousness, the most outrageous thing to ever happen! Tsunade was one of Konoha's Sannin, a student of the Third Hokage. This was practically equivalent to the Third Raikage taking on a student, only to find out that student was a spy from Konoha.

"Is this for real?" After the initial shock, Dodai felt it was unreal. But this secret report had come from his cousin, Tsuchibashi. Blood was thicker than water; he had no reason to trick him. Besides, who would dare to play a trick on Lord Raikage? With his explosive temper, he would detonate at the slightest spark.

Thinking of this, Dodai quickly stood up and went to the Raikage's office. After receiving permission, he pushed open the door and walked in.

"Lord Raikage." After a slight bow, Dodai said, "Tsunade of Konoha Village has newly accepted a student. He is a ninja from our Cloud Village."

"...?" The Third Raikage's face was instantly full of question marks. Do you hear what you're saying?

"It's true." Dodai presented the secret report from Tsuchibashi.

"Who was it that sent him out in the first place?" the Third Raikage asked, frowning after reading it. "How can such a talent be sent to be a spy?"

"Hagawa's talent was not apparent before. It was their oversight. I will punish them when I return," Dodai said after a pause. "But it cannot be denied that this is a great joyous event for our Cloud Village."

"Is he loyal?" the Third Raikage asked, tapping the table.

"Lord Raikage, you know that all spies have a secret technique planted in their minds," Dodai said with certainty. "He would absolutely not dare to betray us."

What he didn't know was that the secret technique had already been eliminated by Hagawa's system when the Yamanaka clan ninja had tried to extract his memories. But present or not, it was as good as present, because Hagawa possessed the A-rank trait "Infiltrator." Even if the Cloud Village wanted to test it, he would not be exposed.

"In that case, his luck is indeed very good," the Third Raikage couldn't help but say with emotion.

"Indeed," Dodai agreed. Spies had to go through all sorts of checks, and for Hagawa to have miraculously passed them all...

"The Cloud Village has always been one to repay its debts and reward its merits," the Third Raikage said after thinking for a moment. "What reward do you think we should give him?"

"The training method for Lightning Release Chakra Activation." Dodai then stated his reasons. Lightning Release Chakra Activation, simply put, was using lightning chakra to stimulate the body's cells for tempering. The reason the Cloud Village produced so many tough men was because of this technique; it was also the prerequisite for Lightning Release Nin-Taijutsu. After Hagawa learned it, he would need to use more merits to exchange for subsequent nin-taijutsu to continue getting stronger.

"Besides that, there's another clever use," Dodai said with a smile. "Lightning Release Nin-Taijutsu is unique to the Cloud Village. If he ever dares to betray us, we can force him to use it, and then he will be exposed."

After hearing this, the Third Raikage agreed.

...

After leaving the Konoha Knowledge Bookstore, Hagawa turned into a street specializing in ninja tools. In the ninja world, money was important, but strength was fundamental. Money lost could be earned again, but if a person was gone, they were gone for good. The first thing Hagawa did after getting the money was to find a master swordsmith. He already had a target in mind.

Soon, he stopped. Amidst a row of Japanese-style ninja tool shops, there appeared a shop in the style of a martial arts hall from his previous life. A plaque hung at the entrance, with four large characters written on it: *Tenten Ninja Tools*.

Tenten, in the original work, was one of the Konoha 12, a teammate of Neji Hyuga and Rock Lee, and she excelled at ninja tool throwing. Most importantly, her luck was very good; she could even pick up the Six Paths' ninja tools while walking. As the saying goes, "Lancers in stories are fated to have E-rank luck." Although Hagawa wanted to forge a katana, not a spear, luck was still very important. In short, it was for good fortune.

He walked into the ninja tool shop, and a young man came up to greet him. At this point in time, Tenten hadn't been born yet, so this was most likely her father. In the original work, her parents were never mentioned. He didn't know if her dad was named "Everyday" or "Monthly."

"Hello, little friend," the young man asked with a smile. "Are you looking to buy some ninja tools?"

"I want to forge a katana," Hagawa said after a pause. "With chakra metal mixed in."

"That's not cheap," the young man's eyes lit up. "Where are your parents?"

"My guardian is Tsunade," Hagawa said with a serious face.

"Are you kid... wait, are you Hagawa?" The young man was about to say he was kidding, but then he immediately remembered the news he had heard today. In Konoha Village, no one would dare to randomly say they were Tsunade's student. And an ordinary child wouldn't know about chakra metal, so the young man believed him.

"It will cost ten million," the young man said, holding up one finger.

"That's fine." Hagawa had inquired about the market price before; it was indeed about that much.

"Although you are Lady Tsunade's student, because the amount involved is quite large, I will need a deposit of one million ryo," the young man said after a pause. "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Tiancun."

"No problem." Hagawa was quite wealthy now; one million ryo was a small sum. Besides, Tiancun's ninja tool shop was in Konoha; he couldn't run away. He was now a disciple of the Hokage's faction and had Tsunade's thigh to hug.

"How long will it take?" Hagawa asked after paying the money.

"About two months," Tiancun said after thinking for a moment.

"Alright then. I'll come back then."

After leaving Tenten Ninja Tools, Hagawa jogged all the way to Tsunade's house.

"You're here? Sign this." Tsunade was sitting on the sofa. She lazily lifted her jade-like foot, her flexible toes wiggling slightly as she pointed to the coffee table. On it lay an unfurled scroll.

Hagawa glanced at it and knew what it was: the Shikkotsu Forest contract scroll.

In the original work, there were three great sage regions for summoning beasts: Shikkotsu Forest, Ryuchi Cave, and Mount Myoboku. As summoned beasts, they were powerful. As sage regions, they would teach their contractors Sage Mode and sage arts.

Hagawa was still young and couldn't learn it now, but whether he could learn it and whether he was qualified were two very different things. By signing it, it meant he now had the qualification.

"Today, I'll teach you the Summoning Jutsu," Tsunade said after he had signed. She then told him about Shikkotsu Forest. Although Hagawa already knew, to avoid arousing suspicion, he could only listen again.

Begging for monthly tickets and follows, everyone!
