Escape From Konoha

Sasuke, who listened carefully in class, yawned from time to time.

Since yesterday morning, he has felt very tired in his body.

For this kind of thing, Sasuke can only attribute the reason to the fact that he has practiced too much recently, which has caused physical discomfort.

But even so, he tried his best to focus and memorize every point of knowledge the teacher taught.

The teacher's name is Iruka, and he is an ordinary chunin in every sense.

Treating people amiably and teaching seriously may be one of his few advantages.

"Okay, in the next practice session, who would like to come up and demonstrate the skills of transforming?"

Iruka closed the book and glanced at the faces of every student sitting in the classroom, hoping that someone would take the initiative to cooperate with his lecturing task.

Although the three-body technique is a necessary basic skill for ninjas, for children, it is not a skill that everyone can master.

In the class he taught, there were also many idiot students called 'the tail of the crane', who were the type who didn't know how to teach, which made him distressed more than once.

"I, I, Iruka-sensei, let me come!"

One student shouted and raised his hand.

He wears goggles on his head, his hair is blond, he has a pair of azure blue pupils, and there are six marked beards on his face, like a fox.

"Uh, it's Naruto. Anyone else willing to come up?"

Iruka glanced at Naruto who raised his hand, and immediately looked away, hoping that others would come up and demonstrate the skills of transformation.

"Hey, Iruka-sensei, don't underestimate people, I recently created a very powerful transformation technique! It will definitely surprise you!"

Seeing that Iruka disliked himself, Naruto suddenly became dissatisfied.

"Before that, Naruto, control Chakra first, otherwise you won't be able to practice transformation."

Iruka sighed helplessly.

Really, this kind of thorny student who can't recognize his own abilities is the most troublesome.

Moreover, creating his own ninjutsu or something, Iruka does not believe that Naruto has such an ability.

Compared with ninjutsu, Iruka believes that Naruto's current task is to control Chakra.

Otherwise, not only the transformation technique, but also the avatar technique and the avatar technique would fail in a bleak way.

It is likely to affect graduation exams a few years later.

"What, you look down on people so much!"

Naruto muttered while sitting in his seat, very dissatisfied with Iruka's attitude of not giving him a chance to perform.

"Sasuke, come up and demonstrate the transformation technique, and you will look like Hokage-sama."

Iruka called Sasuke's name at this time.

The exclamations of many girls suddenly came from the class, and they looked at Sasuke with a lot of admiration and nympho.

The actions of the girls not only made Naruto uncomfortable, but many boys also stared at Sasuke's indifferent face with displeased and jealous eyes.

I really don't know what's so good about this cold guy. This is the resentment in the hearts of most boys.

As long as Sasuke was around, the girls in the class wouldn't even look at them.

Sasuke got up from his seat, put his hands in his trouser pockets, walked to the podium where Iruka was, and turned around in a cool posture to face all his classmates.

He took out his hand from his trouser pocket and quickly formed the seal with a skilled technique, and the chakra in his body began to work.

boom!

Thick white smoke enveloped Sasuke's body.

Sasuke turned into a third Hokage.

The figure, face, and dress are exactly the same as the three generations of Hokage.

Even the expression is so vivid that people can't tell the truth from the fake.

Iruka nodded in admiration. Sasuke's transformation technique seemed to him to be almost perfect, and it had reached the level of graduation.

As expected of the first class student.

"Very good, everyone should learn from Sasuke, especially you, Naruto. You can ask others for more advice when you have nothing to do, or you can come to the teacher for advice."

The attitude towards Sasuke is undoubtedly satisfactory and gentle. When it was Naruto's turn, Iruka seemed helpless and a headache, and there was a meaning of reprimand in it.

I don't know why, in the test of the three-body technique, Naruto couldn't do it perfectly.

As a ninja, talent is really bad.

Most importantly, Naruto is also not very good at martial arts, and his fighting skills are terrible.

The only thing that stands out is probably the fact that he is very energetic, which is worthy of affirmation.

With a light snort, Naruto gave Sasuke a hostile look, as if he were declaring war.

Sasuke also snorted, ignoring Naruto's hostile gaze.

This kind of crane tail, he did not pay attention to it at all.

He is no longer of the same level as the tail of this crane.

Your eyes should be on the students in the upper grades, rather than looking for opponents in the same grade.

Soon, after school, Sasuke declined all the girls' invitations and returned to the Uchiha clan alone.

Habitually walking towards Nanga Shrine, the stele with a huge secret might be hiding the secret of Sharinyan.

He wants to open his eyes as soon as possible, so that he can officially take the first step on the road of revenge.

If you want to defeat Itachi, Sharinyan is an essential strength.

As before, Sasuke opened the seventh stone slab from the right of the main hall's conference room, followed the downward passage and entered the secret place below.

In the underground dark room, Sasuke's eyes swept directly to the opposite wall, and his eyes widened.

In front of the wall engraved with the jade pattern, it was already empty.

The stone tablet that recorded the secret of Sharinyan's eyes has disappeared...

◎

"Yo, old man."

He didn't come in through the main entrance, but crouched at the window of the office. Jiraiya also appeared there and smiled and greeted the three generations of Hokage who were processing documents in the office.

Although there was a smile on his face, the smile on his face was very reluctant.

After waking up in the ward of Konoha Hospital not long ago, Jiraiya also discovered the fact that he was in Konoha, and he also heard from Lu Jiu that the country of ghosts used him to trade with Konoha, which not only eliminated himself As a traitor and ninja, he also used the power of Konoha at the Five Shadows Conference to gain an advantage, and he also gained an advantage in dealing with Uchiha's problems.

It is fortunate to get away with death, but Jiraiya's mood is very complicated.

In the prison of the country of ghosts, he seems to be in an optimistic mood, but in reality, he is enjoying himself in pain.

As a prisoner, this self-knowledge is still there.

Putting down the document that was being approved in his hand, the three generations of Hokage turned to look at Jiraiya, and asked with concern: "How is it, is there any problem with your body?"

As Hokage's Hiyazaki, he was very worried about what kind of spells had been reserved by the enemy on Jiraiya's body.

As it concerns the personal safety of his disciples, Ri Zhan does not dare to be careless.

"No problem, the people from Anbu have already checked, and I didn't feel any abnormality in my body, and the other party didn't do anything to me. Besides, with Chiba Shiraishi's strength, there is no need to do anything to me. ."

Jirai also said here, his eyes couldn't help but dim.

Even his own immortal mode was defeated, and as a result, he still had a half-knowledge of the enemy's ability, and it was not systematic, and there was no way to systematically organize it in detail.

The strength displayed by the other party that day was definitely only the tip of the iceberg, not the whole.

This is also very clear.

Maybe he is quite a proud and arrogant Sannin in the face of others, but the current ninja world is so unfamiliar that he can't understand it.

In the end, he couldn't spy on Shiraishi's true purpose, but when he thought of Shiraishi's technique, he brutally annihilated thousands of sand ninjas in Sandyin Village, and those cold eyes that didn't put life in their eyes were not like human beings at all. Some look.

Such people will definitely be unwilling to be lonely, and will rekindle the war that was finally ended, and madly burn the world of ninjas.

The prophecy of Immortal Big Toad was right at all. For the ninja world, the other party was the source of chaos.

Jiraiya also had this hunch.

But, will I still be able to stop it next time?

In other words, with Konoha's current power, is he really qualified to stop it?

I don't know the answer either.

Maybe the final result is cruel, but I have to stop it.

"yes?"

Rijian couldn't empathize with the despair that Jiraiya encountered, but he could make him proud of the disciple, so fearful and fearful, he could imagine the specific situation of the war in the country of wind, and he must have given Jiraiya quite heavy psychology. blow.

"Sorry, old man, I disappointed you this time. The mission can be said to be a complete failure. Moreover, it cost the village so much to rescue me..."

Jiraiya came down from the window and looked at Ri Zhan's wrinkled old face, not knowing how to explain it.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can come back alive. For the current village, the strength of you and Tsunade is indispensable."

Rijian didn't blame Jiraiya.

If you want to say that you made a mistake, Hokage himself can't escape the blame for this kind of thing.

"Old man, don't you want to..."

"Yeah, you guessed it right. Speaking of which, all of this is because I couldn't perfectly inherit Tobirama-sensei's will, so I had no choice but to let Danzo bear all the darkness of the village alone... This darkness, it could have been used as a The growth of the village has helped me, however, I have no ability to control this darkness, let this power get out of control, and even create serious discord within the village. This is probably where I am far inferior to Tobirama-sensei.”

Self-reproach appeared on Ri Zhan's face.

Sakumo is like that.

Orochimaru is like that.

This is the case with the Uchiha family.

These tragedies, in fact, can be redeemed by themselves.

As a result, because of his indecision, he continued to indulge Danzo, which caused the situation today.

Where there is light, there must be shadows, which is the meaning of Hokage.

The light and darkness of the village originally belonged to Hokage alone.

When he was powerless against the dark side of the village and gave this part of his power to others, the disaster had already been planted.

The shadow's backlash came unexpectedly.

All cause and effect are also born here.

"I am a failed Hokage."

There is no ability to carry out the policy of the teacher Senju Tobirama to the end.

He also failed to fulfill his obligation as an elder, and when Minato was in power, it caused great inconvenience to the other party.

This is the denial of the day to himself.

Zilai also looked at his teacher silently, not knowing how to comfort him for a while.

"Next, I want to hand over the future of the village to you and Tsunade. Please."

Ri Zhan turned his head and said to Jiraiya very solemnly, his eyes full of infinite expectations and hopes.

Zilai was also a little overwhelmed, and then said with a wry smile:

"Old man, you should know that a person with a loose personality like me is not suitable for being a Hokage. If you don't want Konoha to end in my hands, you'd better find someone else to do it."

This sentence is not a joke.

Jiraiya also knew very well what kind of serious consequences it would bring to Konoha after becoming Hokage.

In a sense, it is more serious than the consequences of Danzo's superior Hokage.

Hizan and Jiraiya looked at each other, and he also knew that Jiraiya's character was not suitable for Hokage, but now Konoha had no choice.

"Tsunade is more suitable for Hokage than me. She has the purest blood of Konoha flowing through her body. The medical system she established has benefited many people in the village. She is strong enough to do everything carefully. In terms of perspective, she is the most perfect five-generation Hokage candidate."

Jirai did not look away, and said seriously to Ri Zhan.

Hizan sighed and said, "Tsunade has already left."

"leave?"

Zilai was also taken aback.

Ri Zhan nodded, a deep tired look was hidden between his brows.

"After Tsunade came back, I did talk to her about it, but Tsunade didn't give me an accurate answer and just responded silently. After that, she disappeared from the village."

It would be a lie to say no regrets.

In Hiizhan's heart, he also believed that Tsunade was a more suitable Naruto candidate than Jiraiya.

However, Tsunade's heart is still escaping the past, and the death of relatives and lovers has caused indelible scars to Tsunade's heart.

"Is that so? Then, let me do the task of persuading Tsunade."

Zilai also looked serious.

"Are you going to convince Tsunade?"

Rizan looked at Jiraiya in surprise.

Zilai also nodded heavily.

"This is the only way. Tsunade still has the village in her heart. After all, she has the blood of the first generation of adults flowing through her body. If she understands her and moves her with affection, she will definitely understand the difficulties of the village today."

Hizan felt the firm belief in Jiraiya's eyes, but he was still not sure about whether Jiraiya could convince Tsunade to serve as Konoha's fifth Hokage.

"Even so, convincing Tsunade that this is not an easy task."

Hiizhan is very aware of the contradictions in Tsunade's heart. She undoubtedly loves Konoha deeply and loves every inch of Konoha's land, because this is an important legacy left by her grandfather.

However, Tsunade did not make up his mind to become the leader of the village.

Ri Zhan also knew that such a decision was a bit sudden, but now the international situation has changed, and a military power such as the Kingdom of Ghosts has emerged in the western part of the mainland.

In terms of relationship, the country of ghosts, the country of fire, and Konoha are not the same people.

At least in the short term, Hiizhan can't see the vision of Konoha and the country of ghosts coexisting peacefully.

The contradiction between the senior management of Konoha and the senior management of the country of ghosts is no longer just a simple hatred confrontation.

"I've already made up my mind in this regard. Whether it's a year or two, or longer, I'll go and persuade Tsunade!"

Jiraiya also firmly guaranteed.

"As you like, if you can, it's best to convince Tsunade before I retire. I don't think I can be a Hokage for a few years."

I am over 60 years old, and the various functions of my body are rapidly declining, and it seems that I am unable to handle many things.

He was worried that something similar to the Uchiha clan would happen in the village, and at that time, he had to make balance and compromise again.

"I will try to persuade Tsunade, but you have to limit the old man over Danzo. I don't want Tsunade to become a nominal Hokage."

"Don't worry, although I'm old, I still have some power, and Danzo's roots can't pose a substantial threat."

Said the day.

Although the dark impression has already attacked his Hokage, as long as his attitude is tough, he can still use the power in his hand to suppress the growth of the roots.

In any case, he is also Konoha's Hokage, the biggest real power leader in the village.

Danzo wants to trump his Hokage's power, but it's not that simple.

Compared with Danzo, the succession of the next Hokage is the real concern of Hizan.

"That's good, then, I'll leave first. Not only Tsunade, but Miaomushan, I also have something to deal with. As soon as there is news, I will report to the village through Anbu, including that organization's So are things."

Jirai didn't hesitate, his hands were imprinted, his body was wrapped in white smoke, and he disappeared from Hokage's office.

◎

Anbu suffered heavy losses.

Because Sarutobi Takashi and Sarutobi Purlin died on the battlefield of the Land of Winds, they were killed by the original Konoha S-class rebel ninja Chiba Shiraishi, resulting in the vacancy of Konoha Anbu's minister and deputy minister positions.

Although there is still a direct boss, Hokage, but with the physical energy of the three generations of Hokage at this time, he is almost exhausted when dealing with various matters in the village.

With the loss of the Uchiha clan guards, if the Anbu department does not function, the stability within the village will not be effective and stable.

Moreover, the speed of the backlash was faster than Sun Zhan imagined.

After the Uchiha garrison disappeared, there were obvious cracks in the management system inside Konoha.

"Lord Hokage, this is the report letter collected in the last month or so. About a hundred villagers are dissatisfied with the handling of Anbu's affairs, and some of them have been suppressed by me and have not been reported."

Kakashi put the hundreds of villager's report letters he had received on Ri Zhan's desk, and spoke in a serious manner.

As one of the four sub-commanders of Anbu, Kakashi's sub-unit has added another job when the Uchiha garrison system is paralyzed.

That is to adjust various civil disputes within the village, or serious criminal incidents, punish the offenders, monitor and take them into custody.

With Anbu's current manpower, coupled with the loss of the leadership of the minister and deputy minister, not only is there a shortage of manpower, but also the lack of efficient action, which has led to the recent incidents of violations of law and discipline within Konoha, showing a trend of multiplying. There is no way to stop in time.

If this continues, Anbu's reputation will be shaken, which in turn will affect the prestige of Hokage himself.

In the past, the responsibility could be shifted to the garrison in charge of the Uchiha clan. Now that the Uchiha clan has exterminated the clan, the garrison naturally no longer exists, and Anbu has become the object of reporting.

In particular, the population of Konoha Village is large, and the members of Anbu participating in various practical actions, not counting all kinds of logistics personnel, there are only seventy people in total.

In addition to the four units of Anbu, the tasks and functions are different, and the personnel who can be used to manage the law and discipline of the village are less than the personnel of one unit.

Now how to stabilize the internal environment of the village has become the primary problem to be solved.

At this time, Jiraiya had just left and embarked on the road of finding Tsunade and convincing her to serve as the fifth Hokage. Although things seemed to be going in a good direction, after seeing the large number of report letters on the table, Rizan knew that it was completely is an illusion.

Things are not going in the right direction.

For a long time, the violations of discipline within Konoha were managed by the Uchiha family, supplemented by Anbu actions.

Because compared to the huge number of the guards, just relying on the strength of Anbu, wanting to deal with the violation of law and discipline in a Ninja village, it is too small to underestimate the ability of the villagers to cause trouble.

Due to the lack of school organs for ordinary people, most of the villagers in Konoha Village have not received good quality and moral education.

The only school that exists is also for the cultivation of ninjas, and the cultivation of ninjas is also not for quality and moral education, but to study the skills of killing and fighting, and train the students in the school into talents for fighting.

This means that if there is no strong armed force to control the people in Shinobi Village, it is easy to breed crimes.

Like the garrison that Uchiha used to command, it is an indispensable public security management department in a village.

Now that there is a vacancy in the public security management department, the probability of illegal and criminal incidents within Konoha is rising, which is also reasonable.

Hizan was thinking about whether to re-establish a new security department to manage the security within the village.

Jiraiya intends to persuade Tsunade to serve as the fifth Hokage, Hizan felt that he should do something, and he couldn't leave all the mess to Tsunade to deal with.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kakashi. By the way, call Lu Jiu now. I have something to discuss with him."

Ri Zhan thought for a while, and finally issued the order.

Kakashi nodded, disappeared from the office, and went to call Shikaku.

Not long after, Lu Jiu came to the office and stood at the desk.

"Lord Hokage, what's the matter with you calling me here?"

Kakashi asked.

"Yes, there are some things I want to discuss with you. Look at this first, I want to hear your opinion."

Rizan pointed to the stack of report letters on the table.

Lu Jiu took a step forward, picked up these report letters, read them slowly at first, then flipped through one in four or five seconds, and read through hundreds of report letters in just a few minutes.

"Lord Hokage, do you want to rebuild the security department?"

Lu Jiu's mind was clever, and he saw through the inner thoughts of Hizhan at once.

In fact, this question is not difficult to guess, and after Uchiha was exterminated, this question has become one of the sharp contradictions within Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi, destroying one of Konoha's arms, and Konoha's most powerful arm.

He didn't know if there was acquiescence from the top executives. If there was, it could only be said that this decision was rather irrational and stupid.

But things have happened now, and it is useless for Lu Jiu to guess.

It is an unshakable fact that Uchiha Itachi committed the crime of genocide... As for the truth, it is not very important.

"That's right, the security issues in the village are worth paying attention to recently. I plan to open a new department within Anbu to replace the functions of the Uchiha Guard in the past, and to manage the security issues within the village. Lukisa, what do you think? Sample?"

Hiizhan looked at Shikahisa seriously.

Shikahisa pondered for a moment, and opened a new security department in Anbu, which is equivalent to increasing the power of Hokage in disguise.

For Hokage, this is undoubtedly a good thing.

For the village, the advantages of forming such a department as soon as possible will outweigh the disadvantages.

"I don't think it's a problem, it's just the elder Danzo..."

Yes, the only question is whether the roots agree.

Incorporating the power of the Uchiha Guard into the Anbu system is increasing the authority of Hokage. The only thing Lu Jiu worried about was that Hizan was indecisive again, dividing up this part of the power, so that the power struggle within Konoha would escalate again.

"I will go to Danzo and say, Lu Jiu, I need you to draw up a list for me as soon as possible to form a new guard team."

"Yes."

This is a very tedious and troublesome job, but as the squad leader of the Shangnin, there is no reason to refuse.

"Also, there are currently vacancies for the Minister and Deputy Minister of Anbu. Do you have any recommendations?"

Hizan asked Shikahisa.

The other party is a figure of Konoha's mind. If Tsunade succeeds the position of the five generations of Hokage in the future, he must now cultivate a strong enough team for Tsunade to suppress the roots of Danzo.

The roots and the guards will be the two sharpest blades in Naruto's hands.

Lu Jiu didn't expect that Rijian would suddenly ask himself such a question, instead of holding a high-level meeting and making internal decisions.

Sometimes, Lu Jiu also thinks that he, as the squad leader of Shangnin, is too unworthy to be a person who has no way of interfering in the decisions of the high-level, and is a marginalized person.

However, now Rizao pulls him directly into the core, do you want to regain the power that Hokage should have?

Or, because of the matter in the country of ghosts, did you feel a sense of crisis in your heart?

Regardless of these external factors, Lu Jiu believes that the reason for Hiizhan's actions is likely to be a denial of his past.

"Any candidate for the Anbu Minister and Deputy Minister... I think Kakashi is qualified for the Anbu Minister's job."

Lukisa intends to test Hizan's reaction.

If the other party really wants to change, then making Kakashi the Minister of Anbu will undoubtedly be an important bargaining chip.

Otherwise, it would be a good way to balance the situation by continuing to select Joinin from within the Sarutobi clan to serve as the minister and deputy minister of Anbu.

This is one of the most commonly used methods of Japanese slashing.

Although the stability within the village was maintained, it also made Konoha lose the possibility of growth, constantly wearing down her strength in the balance.

This is the price of balance.

"Is Kakashi?"

Ri Zhan murmured ~www.readwn.com~ his eyes flashed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Yes, as a ninja, Kakashi is very good. Among the younger generation, his strength is unparalleled, and he is loyal enough to the village. He is a qualified candidate for the Minister of Anbu."

"Since you think so, I will seriously consider it later."

Rizan did not immediately make a decision. The position of Minister Anbu was extremely important, because a ninja sitting in this position meant that he would control part of Naruto's powers, and undoubtedly entered the core layer of Konoha.

Because of this, the candidate for the Minister of Anbu not only requires strength, but loyalty is the primary condition.

Otherwise, once you betray Hokage, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, making Kakashi the Minister of Anbu, Hizan is also inclined to this point of view.

The reason why Shikaku was asked was just to further confirm Kakashi's ability.

Hizuka never doubted Kakashi's loyalty to Konoha. At a time when Anbu was now without a leader, Kakashi might be the best candidate among Anbu to turn the tide.
