From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 155 Reward (5k)

"thump."

Almost at the moment he heard the information coming from outside the door, Ohnoki, who had just been floating in the air, suddenly fell onto a chair with his buttocks, and his lumbar spine felt a sudden pain.

However, with his eyes wide open, he didn't care about this physical problem at all. He supported himself on the table with both hands and shouted in disbelief:
"Who are you talking about!!!"

"What was that information just now?!"

The Iwagakure ninja who came in from outside was also startled by the reaction of his own Third Generation, and he stammered subconsciously and said:

"Three days ago, Uchiha Madara attacked Konoha Village and was killed on the spot by Konoha Ninja Sawara Kiri who arrived in time."

"This is a compilation of intelligence gathered by our spies in the vicinity, as well as a series of photos taken in front of the gates of Konoha Village."

As soon as his voice fell, Ohnoki rushed to him like a fly, stood on tiptoe, and snatched all the information and photos from his hands.

He first glanced through it, and then continued to read it carefully word by word with a heavy expression.

The whole person seemed to be frozen in place.

If we were to ask who among the ninjas still alive knows Uchiha Madara best, Ōnoki would definitely be among the top three.

As people get older, they see more things.

Unlike the arrogant young people of today, Ōnoki, who had experienced the era of Hashirama Senju, is one of the people who knows best how outrageous those monsters were back then.

Once, when he and his teacher Wu were on their way to Konoha to attend the Five Kage Tournament, they were ambushed by Uchiha Madara.

In just a few minutes, the teacher, who was already quite famous in the entire ninja world at that time, was defeated by that man. He was deeply ashamed of himself and even used this shame as motivation to develop Dust Release, an unprecedented bloodline elimination technique in the ninja world.

Although Ohnoki, as a disciple at the time, could not help at all, he had witnessed the power of the so-called Susanoo with his own eyes.

Even now, almost forty years have passed, and a deep shadow still remains in his heart.

But now someone told him that even Uchiha Madara was defeated?
The overly rapid onslaught of information almost made him forget the fact that the name Uchiha Madara had disappeared from the ninja world for decades.

It was not until the next moment that he suddenly reacted, frowned, and muttered to himself:
"how can that be possible?"

"I have been to the Valley of the End. After the battle, wasn't that guy killed by the First Hokage himself?"

Hearing this, the Iwagakure Intelligence Ninja on the opposite side immediately spoke up:

"According to the information sent by Konoha, Uchiha Madara should have been in a very old state at the time, and he was able to recover his fighting strength through some special ninjutsu."

"but."

"But what?"

Looking at the stuttering and useless boy opposite him, Ohnoki, who already had a hot temper, frowned and looked at him.

The Iwagakure ninja pulled the corner of his mouth with some difficulty and pointed to the picture at the bottom of the photo.

Ohnoki immediately flipped through the photos at the bottom, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

It was a photo that was obviously taken from the perspective of Konoha Village, but because of the angle, it was a bird's-eye view from bottom to top. The sky was covered with dark clouds and dust was spreading everywhere.

However, in the center of the dust and fog, a thousand-meter-high wooden giant statue that gave Oonoki a deep sense of oppression just by looking at the photo suddenly caught his eye.

The moment he saw the Buddha statue, Ōnoki's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Wood escape? !
Or is it the rumored final secret of the first Hokage?
"What's going on?" He raised his head suddenly.

The Iwagakure ninja then added in a low voice: "According to the information sent by Konoha, Uchiha Madara should have mastered some of the ninjutsu of the former first generation Hokage through unknown means when he was old, and used this style on Sawara Kiri."

“And then, I lost.”

"."

The moment he heard the result, Ohnoki's fingers trembled and the information and photos in his hands almost fell to the ground.

Uchiha Madara also mastered the secret of Hashirama Senju's Wood Release?

What kind of horrible monster is this?

What's even more outrageous is that such a guy actually lost to Sawara Kiri again? ?

Just by coming to this conclusion, Ohnoki felt dizzy, and his body was even shaking due to high blood pressure.

"Gudong."

Finally, he swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice:

"Where's Sawara Kiri?"

"I don't know."

The Iwagakure intelligence ninja whispered helplessly: "After the battle, Sawara Kiri was escorted by the three Konoha ninjas into the Konoha hospital. Several ANBU teams were stationed there, and the defense was very strict. Now our people cannot infiltrate, and we cannot collect relevant intelligence for the time being."

"Not only us, even the Konoha Ninja Clan can't collect the corresponding information."

"call"

After hearing this, Ōnoki finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He just said it.

If the combination of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama can't do anything to this young man, then won't the future of the ninja world be controlled by him?
After this battle, Konoha's top fighter is probably seriously injured and will be unable to move for a long time, right?

But immediately afterwards, Ohnoki's nerves immediately tensed up again.

Now is not the time to be careless.

In other words, there is no room for carelessness.

In any case, the fighting power displayed by Sawara Kiri has far exceeded the limits of his imagination.

If Ohnoki didn't have a clear idea of ​​the young man's strength before, he had an idea of ​​it now.

shrink!

In recent years, the power of Iwagakure must be completely reduced!

At the same time, we should contact more of the Konoha ninja clan and get in touch with them - since the three Konoha ninjas are on guard against the ninja clan, it means that the discord among them must be quite intense.

In addition, we must gather the Jinchūriki and not let Old Zi continue to do whatever he wants.

In this short moment, many of Ohnoki's plans were completely broken, and at the same time, he also strengthened his determination to cooperate with the Lei and Feng countries.

Now he could finally understand the heavy pressure those two young people were facing.

"Pass on my orders."

Ohnoki took a deep breath and said solemnly, "From now on, if you encounter Sawara Kiri during a mission, you must abandon the mission immediately and no one will be held accountable."

"If there is no hope of escape, you can surrender."

"what?"

The Iwagakure intelligence ninja was startled when he heard this, but soon, after meeting Ōnoki's firm gaze, he immediately lowered his head and responded:

"Yes!"

"correct."

Halfway through the conversation, Ohnoki seemed to have thought of something and frowned, "Has the space ninjutsu project team that was going to develop started already?"

"This"

The Iwagakure ninja was startled, and Huang Tu next to him said, "Master Sandaime, you haven't allocated the project funds yet. It has only just started, and the R&D personnel are not in place yet."

“Disburse funds immediately!”

Ohnoki, who is usually stingy, suddenly became extremely happy today.

After the Iwagakure ninja left, he floated in the air with his hands behind his back, looking at the village surrounded by mountains outside the window with an extremely solemn expression.

If we say that the ninja world forty years ago belonged to the era of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

So the next few decades should belong to Sawara Kiri's era, right?

How abominable!

Why do all these monstrous ninjas appear in Konoha?
At the same time, several other villages besides Konoha also had the same headache as him.

Before this, no one had a clear impression of Sawara Kiri's strength, so many people were planning various ways to try to deal with him.

But after this battle, even though they were not fighting against other villages, the heavy pressure was really weighing on the hearts of every ninja village leader.

Sawara Kiri became the true strongest in the ninja world.

However, from strength to strength comes strength.

The undercurrents in each village became even more intense as his reputation became established.

Various invisible collaborations and struggles continue to emerge underground.

"Is this the battle mark of that adult?"

Looking at the lake in front of him that was gradually filled with accumulated rain water, Hatake Kakashi, with his face covered, held his father's hand and spoke in a daze.

Looking around, the gate of Konoha, which was once surrounded by countless jungles, is now empty.

A vast area of ​​several kilometers, or even dozens of kilometers around, had been flattened in the previous battle, turning into a charred solid ground, and the entire area had sunk an unknown number of meters.

At this time, many earth-style ninjas were rebuilding roads around the lake according to the construction plan, and there were busy people everywhere.

Naturally, many Konoha villagers, like them, heard the news and came to the door to watch.

"Yeah, that's pretty cool, right?"

Hatake Sakumo reached out his hand, stroked his son's silver hair, and spoke with a smile.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at various places nearby: "That big lake was created by the Wood Release Technique. The holes on the other side are traces of the fight between Lord Sawara and Madara. And this black area..."

Hatake Kakashi listened quietly, and as his father spoke, he continued to replay the battle between the two in his mind.

However, no matter how much he expanded his imagination, he could not understand how those huge holes that were deeper than the traces of ninjutsu were made by fists and feet.

At this moment, Kakashi felt that the ninja worldview that had been established by his father over the years was distorted.

Is this still a ninja?

"Father."

He raised his head, looked at his old father who still had some injuries, and asked in a low voice: "Isn't that Master Zuoyuan your disciple? Can you also achieve that level?"

"I can't do it."

Hatake Sakumo smiled gently and stroked his large hand slowly over his head: "But Kakashi is an amazing genius."

"If you keep working hard, you should be able to reach the edge of that adult's realm, right?"

"I'll try my best." Although he is a little smart kid, after seeing the scene before him, Kakashi still feels that his vision was too narrow.

So, the pinnacle of the ninja world looks like this?
When Kakashi Hatake looked towards the vast lake, there seemed to be some kind of silver light shining like stars.

Since father said so, he can definitely reach this level!

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard an excited shout from a distance:

"Kakashi!"

The moment he heard the voice, Kakashi's eyes, which had been twinkling just now, suddenly sank and turned back into the dead fish eyes of the past. He turned his head to look to the side with a helpless expression.

as predicted.

That idiot Uchiha Obito was rushing towards him like a little wild boar.

Before he could rush over, he was stunned, and then suddenly showed a mocking expression and made a face: "Kakashi is still a child, he still has to hold an adult's hand when going out!"

"Obito, you bastard!"

A vein suddenly bulged on Kakashi's forehead.

Uchiha Obito seemed to have encountered something worth showing off. He pointed to the big lake next to him and said proudly: "You see! This is the power of our Uchiha clan!"

"You can create a lake on the ground in one go!"

"whispering sound."

Kakashi curled his lips upon hearing this: "But he was still defeated by Lord Sawara Kiri!"

"Sawara Kiri-sama is Sawara Kiri-sama, there is definitely no comparison!"

"The lake was created by Wood Release, which is not the power of your Uchiha clan!"

"Who said that? That was done by Uchiha Madara!"

The two little ones started bickering and chattering beside the lake.

Hatake Sakumo looked at the two little guys with a gentle smile.

Kakashi only had this childlike expression when he was with people his own age.

really.

It would be better for him to stay in the ninja school for a while longer and interact more with his friends.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly became aware of the gazes sweeping over from all around, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the gazes.

Then, he saw a few children about Kakashi's age not far away, looking at him.

A rather sharp gaze.

Hatake Sakumo thought to himself and said to the two of them, "Kakashi, are those three people over there also your classmates?"

"Ah! That's our classmate!"

Before Kakashi could speak, Obito responded enthusiastically: "They should be Momochi Zabuza, Suito Mangetsu, and Terumi Mei, right?"

"He's a guy who likes to be alone."

"That's it."

Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo felt relieved and said to him gently, "I'll ask you to take good care of Kakashi at school, Obito-san."

"Of course!" Obito immediately wiped his nose proudly.

Little Kakashi spat in a low voice, "I don't want this idiot to take care of me!"

"Huh? Who's the idiot?"

"I'm talking about you, the last one!"

"Damn it——!"

Hatake Sakumo's smile was still gentle: "If you have free time, make friends with those children."

"Speaking of which, if you are good enough, when your class graduates, Sahara-kun may become your team leader."

"Eh?!"

"Really!!"

Hearing this, both Kakashi and Obito couldn't help but widen their eyes.

After experiencing the previous battle, Sawara Kiri has completely become the greatest hero in the hearts of everyone in Konoha.

Naturally, he is also one of the people most admired by children.

"That depends on your efforts."

at the same time.

A certain great hero who was praised by all of Konoha was still lying in the hospital ward and had just woken up not long ago.

In the ward, the open space at the edge was filled with flowers, various gifts and snacks, and nearly half of the room was filled to the brim.

Miss Xue Hui sat beside the bed, holding the meat porridge that she had cooked at home. She held the bowl in one hand and a small spoon in the other, blowing hot air from her mouth:

"what."

"Ah~"

Sawara Kiri opened her mouth obediently; the temperature of the porridge was just right.

At this time, many parts of his body were still wrapped in bandages. The injury on his right hand was particularly serious. The entire piece of skin and a small part of the muscle were cut off. After a major operation, he was wrapped up like a dumpling and was completely unable to move.

Seeing her eldest brother like this, Xue Hui felt distressed and dissatisfied, and whispered: "Next time we encounter such a thing, Wu can't handle it alone."

"It's not like Konoha doesn't have other ninjas."

"Too dangerous."

"That's Uchiha Madara. There's nothing shameful about fighting with everyone."

“Yes, yes~”

Sawara Kiri responded obediently and ate her porridge slowly.

Although they are all ninjas, it is obvious that there is a clear distinction between the inner and outer in Yukie's mind.

When she heard at the medical station that Wu was seriously injured, she felt like the sky was falling. Fortunately, after a careful examination, it was confirmed that his life was not in danger.

Otherwise, she really didn't know what to do.

Thinking about it now, I still feel some psychological trauma.

Sawara Kiri knew that these were just words spoken in anger by Xuehui, so she naturally didn't take it to heart.

Both of them were ninjas, so they naturally knew what kind of life a ninja led - not to mention himself, Xuehui had experienced life and death on the battlefield as well.

Seeing his expression, Xue Hui knew that her stupid elder brother didn't listen to her at all, so she could only sigh helplessly.

After all, that's what ninja is.

"Boom."

However, just as she sighed, she was punched on the head.

"What are you talking about!" Miss Xuehui turned around angrily and saw Tsunade had entered the ward door without her knowing. "Go, the lunch break is over. I'll check on the patient's condition."

"Eh--?!"

"It's only been twenty minutes!"

"I have the final say in the hospital!"

In a short while, Miss Xuehui was driven out with a lot of anger.

Sahara Kiri looked at her back and smiled helplessly.

The work of a medical chunin is also very hard.

Tsunade sat down casually beside him, and seeing the bowl of porridge on the counter, she naturally picked it up and fed him a spoonful: "How are you recovering now?"

"Actually, it's almost there. In another two days, after the chakra is restored, I should be able to recover completely with my own reversal technique."

"Aww."

As he was speaking, he was fed again.

Then he suddenly reacted and looked at Tsunade's gentle movements with some surprise.

Did the sun rise from the west today?

As if she was a little annoyed by the look, Tsunade's eyes twitched: "What's that expression on your face? I also started out as a grassroots doctor!"

Although it has been almost twenty years now.

"That's not the case." Sahara Kiri retorted seriously, "It's just that Lady Tsunade's shampoo smells very good today, and her earrings are also very beautiful."

Tsunade was startled when she heard this, and snorted again, with a faint smile on her face. She scooped another spoonful and held it in front of him:

"Smelly brat."

"The outside world is in chaos because of your problem. How can you still pay attention to this?"

"Yesterday even the daimyo sent someone to express his condolences, but I personally turned them away."

"Eh?"

Sahara Kiri was a little confused: "What else could happen to me?"

Tsunade chuckled and said, "Do you know how much the reward for you in the underground bounty office was after the previous battle?"

"Five hundred million taels."

"There is actually someone who dares to offer a reward for me?" Sahara Kiri was both angry and amused.

"There are too many ignorant people in this world."

Tsunade said, gently putting the spoon into his mouth: "According to the investigation by the Anbu, it seems that a small organization called the Kara Organization issued a bounty."

"Their whereabouts have not been traced yet."

"Jiraiya has already started sending people to investigate."

Hearing this, Sahara Kiri was stunned.

Shell tissue?
