Konoha: From Aburame to God.

Chapter 163 The Third Hokage Retires
"The future is changing too fast, and there are too many forces in the future that can interfere with my predictions. Predictions are becoming increasingly difficult. This is the limit of what I can do."

The Great Toad Immortal said with a bit of melancholy.

"At the end of my prophecy, there is a scarlet moon hanging high in the sky."

The Big Toad Immortal was a little surprised by this, as it was not the first time that he had predicted the scarlet moon.

As a true antique that survived the Six Paths Sage period, it knows so many things.

Given a little information, it can figure out the general situation.

The so-called scarlet moon is probably related to Hagoromo. After all, Hagoromo's mother, the goddess of the Rabbit, is sealed on the moon.

Without Yuyi's permission, there will be absolutely no problem sealing the Moon of the Goddess of Mao.

Do you think the Feathered Sword is not powerful?

But this time, no matter how it predicted, it could not transcend the time point after the scarlet moon appeared.

It's strange that it has changed but has not changed.

Just like after the scarlet moon appeared, everything ended quietly and everything was settled.

"Great Toad Immortal, since the future has changed, then the Son of Prophecy..."

Jiraiya felt the trouble of the situation, and such a future was not something he could prevent.

Even though he is one of the three ninjas, he will become very powerless when facing the wave of changes that affect the entire ninja world.

Not to mention the other four major ninja villages, even Konoha Jiraiya couldn't stop it.

say what?
What if Konoha is too powerful in the future? That would be bad. For the sake of peace in the ninja world, we have to stop developing.

If he dared to say that, Sarutobi Sensei would dare to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice.

This is simply standing against the entire Konoha. Not to mention him, even the Hokage will be crushed to death by the entire Konoha.

No one is willing to accept cutting off one's own arm, and no one is willing to give up a bright future.

Indeed, the future will be terrible. But isn't Konoha the most powerful among them?

In that case, what are you afraid of?
The Great Toad Sage looked at Jiraiya, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and spoke slowly:
"The child of prophecy will still guide the changes in the ninja world. It still needs little Jiraiya to find and lead. If even the child of prophecy falls into darkness, then there will be real trouble."

"But I've been looking for it for a long time, but now I don't know if I've found it."

There was a trace of confusion in Jiraiya's eyes. Although he believed in the existence of the Child of Prophecy, he had been searching for him for so long and it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Little Jiraiya, I used most of my strength this time. Although the figure of the child of prophecy is still blurry, I can still see it a little more clearly."

"What does the Child of Prophecy look like?!"

Jiraiya was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words of the Great Toad Sage. It would be easier to find it with the characteristics. At least it would be better than looking for a needle in a haystack.

"The Child of Prophecy has blonde hair and sky-blue eyes."

Jiraiya's eyes flashed with the image of Minato Namikaze. Could it be...

"And he's wearing your Konoha Village's forehead protector."

Right, all right!
"Minato, it's really you..."

Jiraiya muttered to himself.

Currently, the only one who meets the requirements of being Jiraiya's disciple, having blond hair, sky blue eyes, and wearing a Konoha forehead protector is Minato Namikaze.

That can't be Minato's child.

You have to know that Uzumaki Kushina is a member of the Uzumaki clan.

With the powerful bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, they will occupy a strong position among the descendants of Minato and Kushina.

The most obvious feature of the Uzumaki clan is their red hair. Based on this point, Jiraiya ruled it out.

"Great Toad Sage, the child of prophecy is likely my disciple, Minato!"

"Indeed, Minato-chan fits the description of the son of prophecy given by the Master."

Sennin Shima also nodded repeatedly. He felt that Minato was indeed worthy of the identity of the son of prophecy.

……

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked in the mirror, a little old but energetic, and lamented that time had taken away a lot from him after all.

For example, ambition, aggressiveness, and drive. Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen has reached the peak of his reputation, he has not thought of taking the opportunity to do something, but wants to retire.

Facing the absolutely powerful Konoha, the four major ninja villages are trying their best to move forward.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could feel the determination to move forward from the cold words of the intelligence, and he was extremely nervous about it.

Because he knew that in the turbulent times ahead, Konoha needed a Hokage with decisiveness.

But he couldn't lead Konoha to do this because he was too old.

Even with countless honors and fame, it cannot hide his aging nature.

But fortunately, although he is old, the new generation of Konoha has grown up.

Konoha is now full of talented people!

The old generation of the three ninjas, White Fang, Akimichi Tofu, and Uchiha Fugaku
The middle generation’s Minato Namikaze, Shiitsu Aburame, and Shiori Aburame.

The new generation of Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, and Uchiha Shisui.

"Hmm...why are there so many Uchiha appearing?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and didn't care about it.

With the mass production of giant colonization suits, the importance of personal strength of Konoha ninjas will decline in the future.

This is not correct. It can only be said that everyone has giant colonization equipment and is at the same starting line, so the gap in strength will be made up.

and…

“We must believe in the wisdom of future generations!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured to himself, let the Uchiha problem be solved by the next generation of Hokage, new Hokage, new atmosphere.

It wouldn’t be a bad thing if the next generation of Hokage could truly solve the problems of the Uchiha clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's condition is a little bit wrong now.

If I have to describe it, the most appropriate description is "last glimmer of light".

The succession of the Fourth Hokage marked the end of Sarutobi Hiruzen's political life and the final conclusion of Sarutobi Hiruzen's life!

And now Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to have turned back into the ninja hero who had recently taken over as Hokage.

He announced his abdication very decisively and prepared to hold the Hokage election on the last day of next month.

Although the villagers of Konoha were surprised as they had been under Sarutobi Hiruzen's rule for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen insisted and accepted this.

The Konoha ninjas all praised the achievements of the Third Hokage. For a time, the Third Hokage had unlimited prestige and became the strongest Hokage.

In fact, the Konoha ninjas also had a premonition that Konoha was now too powerful and it needed a young, decisive and enterprising Hokage.

It’s not that the Third Hokage was incapable, but he was still a little short of it. He was too cautious and considered too much before doing anything, and failed to seize the opportunities that always flashed by, and ultimately got a result that made no one satisfied.

It’s different now. The Konoha ninjas are all looking forward to the new Hokage leading Konoha to a new peak.
