Simultaneous travel: all abstract fun people

Chapter 41: Shoot the sun and kill the insects!

After Orochimaru's death, Konoha's collapse plan failed.

The Sound Ninjas remaining in every corner of the village were killed one after another like stray dogs.

The noisy and chaotic village gradually returned to its former tranquility.

Due to the death of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the position of Hokage is temporarily vacant.

Two advisors, Mitomonen and Utane Koharu, were appointed to temporarily take over the duties of Hokage and began to deal with the complicated post-war affairs.

Under their auspices, Konoha Village accepted the surrender of Sand Village, and after some discussions, the two sides concluded a peace treaty.

Gaara, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki captured by Roger, and the Sand Ninjas captured in the Konoha collapse plan were all sent back to their country.

As the hero who turned the tide in this crisis, Roger is still just serving as the Hokage's secretary.

He was neither given any new position nor received the rewards he deserved.

He was even still a Genin and hadn't been promoted to Chunin.

He became a big victim and was stabbed in the back by the Konoha high-level officials.

Roger has been rolling for so long, but he didn't expect it to be ineffective.

The clown was me.

His position will probably not change until the new Hokage takes office.

Just like before, Roger still spent most of his time in the room where the Sealed Book was stored.

There is no need to carry out tasks with his teammates or teachers.

This seemingly peaceful life vaguely seems more like the village leaders' fear of his strength, as if it were a disguised confinement of him.

Roger could sense that there were more Anbu guarding the Sealed Book.

I think it's not just to guard the sealed book, but also to monitor myself.

……

A few days later, the atmosphere in front of the memorial stone in Konoha Village was solemn and dignified.

The funeral of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is being held here.

The ninjas and civilians in the village came spontaneously to attend Sarutobi's funeral to bid farewell to the Hokage who had protected the village for the longest time.

This is to commemorate the death of the Third Hokage.

Even though Yuanpi was a lecherous old man during his lifetime, he had made many mistakes.

Some people think he is a kind old grandfather, some think he is a cunning conspirator, and some think he is a weak appeaser.

But it is undeniable that under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konoha Village ushered in a rare period of peace, allowing the villagers to live and work in peace.

The first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who founded Konoha Village, and the second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who built the prototype of the village, were great, but too far away.

For the vast majority of villagers, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen has been the Hokage of Konoha since they were born.

Therefore, most villagers still miss him.

Especially Sarutobi Hiruzen died fighting for Konoha, this sacrifice was even more moving.

At Sarutobi Hiruzen's funeral, a rare rain fell in the hot summer.

The raindrops fell softly, wetting people's clothes.

But people were not happy about the temporary retreat of the scorching heat.

On the contrary, everyone's face was filled with sadness.

They held flowers in their hands and gently placed them in front of the memorial to express their respect and remembrance for the deceased Third Hokage.

Roger, dressed in black mourning clothes, followed the crowd silently. His eyes were fixed on the memorial in front of him, revealing a hint of complex emotions.

In any case, for Roger, the Third Hokage was indeed a qualified teacher, and he had given Roger a lot of guidance and help.

Roger gently put down the flowers in his hand.

This memorial service is not only to commemorate the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, but also to commemorate the many ninjas who died in the war with Sunagakure and Otogakure.

It’s a pity that the weakness of the two advisors almost ruined most of the results of this battle that was achieved at the cost of countless sacrifices.

Although Konoha also gained some benefits after the war.

But compared with the losses of the ninjas, the casualties of civilians, and the brilliant results that should have been achieved.

These benefits seemed insignificant. Compared to the old and weak Sarutobi Hiruzen, the two advisors who had long managed Konoha's political institutions and had more dealings with the Fire Nation nobles were obviously even weaker.

They are the true doves.

The most important thing is that Roger is unhappy.

I have made such great contributions, so why not let myself become the fifth Hokage?

There is no benefit at all, it's like working in vain.

Moreover, these two old guys even confined themselves to their homes under the pretext of organizing the Book of Seals, and had the Anbu monitor them.

Although in a sense, this is an old tradition of Konoha.

But Roger is not Hatake Sakumo, it is impossible for him to do something like killing myself.

He is here to be Hokage.

Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.

Moreover, Roger had long been dissatisfied with those two advisors and the Root leader Danzo.

Damn it, how can I do politics well with this bunch of insects?
It's time to shoot the sun and get rid of the insects.

It’s time to strike hard!
Give them a taste of their own medicine.

……

On the way back, the sky was still gray and the rain was still falling.

Roger suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and caught the rain falling from the sky.

Seeing this, Kurama Yakumo and Kaminarimon Koshiri looked at him in confusion.

"Roger, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Leimen Yueli's question.

Roger shook his head: "It's okay, I'm just confused about Konoha after Hokage-sama left."

Kaminarimon Yueli comforted him, "Although the Hokage has left, I heard that Jiraiya has returned to the village. He is one of the three famous ninjas in the ninja world, so I believe nothing will happen."

"Besides, the Sand Village has surrendered."

Roger nodded: "Maybe."

But there was a glimmer of determination in his eyes, as if he had already seen the future of Konoha.

It also belongs to his future.

Orochimaru has completed shooting the sun, and now it is his turn to eliminate the insects.

……

After the funeral of the Third Hokage.

On the surface, Konoha Village has returned to peace, but behind the scenes, the village’s top leaders are caught up in a power struggle.

Various forces are secretly competing with each other, all trying to occupy an advantageous position in this vortex of power.

Although Roger could not participate in this power struggle, he was not idle either. He began to visit his two-winged family members.

The patriarch of the Kurama clan and the Yamanaka clan.

Although the Kurama clan has now declined and become a small ninja clan in the village.

But after all, it is a bloodline family, its ancestors were wealthy, and it was once a famous family of illusionists in Konoha.

Even though they are now in decline, their influence in the village cannot be underestimated, and there are many senior ninjas in the clan.

As for the mountain clan, there is no need to say more.

Yamanaka Ino's father, Yamanaka Ino, is the leader of the Konoha Analysis Team and is in charge of intelligence work.

Known as the God of Intelligence, he is the idol of many intelligence ninjas in the ninja world.

The Yamanaka clan has been on good terms with the Nara clan and the Akimichi clan for generations.

Since the Warring States Period, they have formed an unbreakable alliance that has been locked in place.

Not only that, the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans have a very close relationship with the Sarutobi clan.

They are the die-hard Hokage faction and hold a huge weight in the power structure of Konoha Village.
