Because they were the only people who could come into contact with the body of the First Hokage.

Extract the cells containing the power of wood escape from the corpse of the first Hokage, and then use human bodies to experiment and create wood escape ninjas in batches.

And the creature in front of me is the result of their research.

Then the question comes, why are they sent to monitor Xiao?

An organization with only eight or nine people is a group of young boys and girls who have not grown up. If they really feel threatened, just send ANBU to eliminate them directly.

There is no need to spend so much time monitoring.

Bai Shitou felt pain. Many places were full of contradictions, but based on the information he had learned, this was a more reasonable inference.

What on earth are the top brass of Konoha plotting?

Just when Shiraishi was worried about what the top management of Konoha was going to do, the soil on the floor loosened, and the head of a man made of khaki mud came out of the soil, with its black eyes staring at Shiraishi.

A scroll appears from the mud and is placed on the ground. It continues to serve as a perfect communication tool and sneaks into the ground.

Shiraishi didn't pay attention to this 'stupid son''s behavior of leaving without saying goodbye. For the time being, Shiraishi had no expectations for his intelligence.

He used magic to unlock the scroll, and as expected, it was the scroll mailed by Chong Man and the others.

The content of the scroll was extremely simple. Shiraishi glanced at it and understood the general meaning.

"The Uzumaki clan? I thought all the people in this clan were dead."

Shiraishi pondered for a moment, then immediately took out a blank scroll, appended a few words to it, rolled the scroll up, and sealed it with a technique.

"Give them this scroll."

It was said to the earth people underground.

The clay man appeared on the surface again, and there seemed to be human resentment in his empty eyes.

Despite this, it still very obediently accepted the task entrusted to him by Shiraishi.

At only half a year old, he accomplished the feat of running through most of the ninja world alone.
