Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"Shinnosuke?" Sakumo Hatake looked thoughtful.

The identities of the secret agents are kept secret, and the identity of the head of the secret agents is even more closely guarded secret.

However, given Sakumo Hatake's identity and status, he would naturally know the identity of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the head of the Anbu.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eldest son, and the strongest member of the Sarutobi clan besides Hiruzen himself, possessing strength approaching that of an elite Jonin.

To be honest, it's a bit of a stretch for someone with such strength to be the head of the Anbu. He was clearly able to rise to the position because of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Entrusting the Anbu to Yoruichi Yagami is clearly not too bad in terms of strength.

The only problem is...

Sakumo Hatake looked at Yoruichi Yagami and said, "The Anbu is mainly responsible for assassinations, intelligence gathering, and espionage. Can you do these things well?"

"I'm not good at these things, but as long as I can make good use of people who are good at them, that's fine, isn't it?"

When Yagami Yoruichi proposed to become the head of the Anbu, she already had these ideas in mind.

"What are your thoughts on the Hokage's advisor and assistant?" Sakumo Hatake pressed.

He realized that Yoruichi Yagami's desire to overthrow the Konoha F4 was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a premeditated act.

Since that's the case, he might as well see what Yagami Yoruichi plans to do and what her plans are.

If the plan is truly comprehensive enough, it might be possible to minimize the internal turmoil within Konoha.

"Currently, we have two advisors and one assistant. In the future, we can eliminate the position of Hokage's assistant and expand the number of advisors to five to eight."

Yagami Yoruichi thought for a moment and said, "As for the selection, there should be a portion from ninja clans and a portion from civilians. Let the ninja clans that have been marginalized, such as the Uchiha, participate in the management of the village. This will also ease the conflict between the village and the Uchiha. Of course, since the village has shown goodwill, the Uchiha should also respond. For example, the power of the security force should be opened up to other small ninja clans and civilian ninjas."

"Besides the Uchiha, we should also select some other ninja clans. For example, the Hyuga, Nara, and Aburame clans. We can consider selecting a few suitable candidates to be advisors."

"For the remaining spots, we can choose suitable ninjas from among the commoner ninjas. For example, Minato Namikaze would be a good choice. Hmm, Uncle Kurenai Yuhi would also be a good fit." Yoruichi Yagami offered her ideas, while also subtly including her own opinion.

Chapter 179 The News Leaked, Hiruzen Sarutobi's Fury Rages

The two quickly finished communicating.

It's unclear whether Sakumo Hatake noticed Yoruichi Yagami's attempt to smuggle something in, but on the surface, he appeared quite calm.

Sakumo Hatake dispersed the chakra that had blocked sound and said, "Yoruichi and I discussed it, and we both agree that the current state of the village must be changed."

You can't disagree.

If it escalates into a full-blown armed conflict, the negative impact on the village will only be greater.

Moreover, Sakumo Hatake did not agree with Hiruzen Sarutobi's governing philosophy.

In that case, let's cooperate with Yoruichi Yagami, who seems to be stronger, and help the village change in a better direction.

There may be pains along the way, but the future looks even brighter.

Right now, gaining the support of the Jonin in the command center has become a very urgent matter.

"I have a question."

Nara Shikaku looked at Yagami Yoruichi and asked, "After seizing power, how do you plan to treat the current Konoha leadership?"

Yoruichi Yagami had previously mentioned her conflict with Danzo Shimura.

In Nara Shikaku's view, Yagami Yoruichi's desire to overthrow the Konoha leadership might indeed stem from a desire to change the village's current state, but it must also be driven by personal motives, such as a desire for revenge.

The balance between these two factors is crucial.

This will determine whether Yagami Yoruichi needs to change the village and make it better, or whether he is driven by revenge and doesn't care about the village's future at all.

Similarly, the difference between these two will determine which side the pig, deer, and butterfly races choose.

“Danzo must die. As for the other three, although they are guilty, their crimes do not warrant death. They can go to the battlefield to atone for their crimes,” Yagami Yoruichi said without hesitation.

In Yagami Yoruichi's view, the Konoha F4 can be described as the hidden dragon and the phoenix, each with their own badness and their own stupidity.

But the only one who was truly both incredibly stupid and utterly wicked was Danzo Shimura.

The other three were just a bit too self-serving.

He is guilty, but not guilty of a crime punishable by death.

Moreover, they are considered a very important fighting force in Konoha.

If Konoha were to face a multi-front war in the future, Yoruichi Yagami alone could at most eliminate the enemy in one direction.

Someone has to step up in other directions too.

Sending Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane to the battlefield with their clan ninjas to earn merit and atone for their crimes is a way to maximize the use of resources.

However, what Yagami Yoruichi didn't say was that making amends for one's merits must be based on the premise that the resistance is not too intense.

If their resistance is too fierce, and they become unable to stop themselves in the fight, and end up killing themselves, then they have no one to blame but themselves.

"Lord Danzo..." Nara Shikaku looked at Yagami Yoruichi and asked, "Is it because of 'Root'?"

“Not only that.” Yagami Yoruichi shook her head and said, “Shimura Danzo has a Sharingan, which is said to have come from Uchiha Kagami’s eye. Only when Danzo dies can the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan be resolved.”

"Uchiha Kagami? The Second Hokage's disciple?!" Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, the Jonin all widened their eyes.

Even Sakumo Hatake was utterly shocked.

He was only a few years younger than Uchiha Kagami and his generation.

The sudden death of Uchiha Kagami caused quite a stir in the village, and Hatake Sakumo had also heard that there were many mysteries surrounding his death.

Judging from what Yagami Yoruichi said, it seems that Shimura Danzo was behind this.

"Speaking of which, back then, Lord Kagami and Lord Danzo went to the Land of Wind on a mission together. Lord Kagami, who was stronger, did not return, and Lord Danzo also lost an eye..."

An older Jonin muttered to himself.

Upon hearing this, many people's expressions changed slightly.

To betray one's fellow villagers and steal their bloodline limit abilities is a taboo that everyone must break.

"Yoruichi-kun, this accusation is very serious. Don't make things up without evidence!" Sakumo Hatake warned sternly.

“Uchiha Kagami’s Sharingan is in Danzo’s eye socket, which is covered by bandages.” Yagami Yoruichi spread his hands and said, “When we get back to the village, we can find an Uchiha clansman who knows Uchiha Kagami to confirm it, right? The Sharingan’s eye power, like chakra, can be used to confirm identity.”

After hearing what Yagami Yoruichi said, many people were already inclined to believe her.

Although some people are inclined to support the Naruto faction, their attitudes are changing after hearing what Yoruichi Yagami said.

With the combined strength of Yagami Yoruichi and Hatake Sakumo, many people are carefully considering whether to support Yagami Yoruichi's 'coup' or continue to follow the Konoha F4 down this dark path.

After much discussion, most of the Jonin still did not make a clear statement.

Yoruichi Yagami didn't care. With her current strength, she had nothing to fear even if all these Jonin were on her opposite side.

After discussing for a while, Hatake Sakumo realized that no results would be achieved today, so he announced: "We will rest for one night and set off back to the village tomorrow."

A group of people will definitely need to remain stationed at this camp to guard against a possible second wave of attacks from the Cloud Village.

They also have the task of monitoring the movements of Sunagakure Village.

Meanwhile, Yagami Yoruichi, Hatake Sakumo, and some of the ninjas who supported Yagami Yoruichi's 'coup' were all to return to the village to overthrow the Konoha F4 and change the village's system.

Many people are destined to be unable to sleep this night.

Back at her residence, Yagami Yoruichi opened the system panel to check her gains for the day.

The gold coin balance column clearly displays the number [48795].

With over two hundred kills and dozens of assists, Yoruichi Yagami became incredibly wealthy overnight.

Yoruichi Yagami hesitated slightly about how to use the money.

If you purchase all of them as [Attribute Forging Tools], you can buy sixty-five.

Based on probability, you can probably get 2-5 '15% Constitution' attribute bonuses, depending on the specific situation.

If you obtain five attribute fragments that grant a 15% bonus to Constitution, then Yoruichi Yagami's stats will increase significantly.

Furthermore, you will gain more attributes with each future 'attribute cycle growth'.

The increase in attributes over a day could potentially double.

However, if you only have two attribute fragments with '15% Constitution', although the improvement is not small, the short-term strength increase is definitely not as great as buying a new hero template.

Having already acquired the power of 'Wood Release', Yoruichi Yagami no longer needs to exchange for other hero templates with 'special attributes'.

Only strength needs to be considered.

The presence of high-ranking characters like Bard, Zoe, Ornn, Azsel, and Aatrox might dramatically enhance Yoruichi Yagami's strength.

However, this also contains an element of gambling.

"A hero template plus four skills costs 31500 gold coins, which is just a matter of getting a hundred or so kills. With my strength, it's not difficult to kill over a thousand people in a full-scale war against a ninja village. I can slowly exchange for new hero templates later."

"I should buy attribute items first and increase the panel values ​​as soon as possible. That's the important thing. I don't lack ways to kill enemies now. As long as I have enough chakra to cover a large area of ​​the battlefield, I can farm system rewards very quickly."

After a moment's thought, Yagami Yoruichi quickly made a decision to use all his gold coins to buy [Attribute Forging Equipment].

Each item costs 750 gold coins, and each item contains 65 attribute forging tools. It took Yagami Yoruichi several minutes to select them all.

It's good, but not particularly bad either.

Six Prismatic-grade attribute fragments were obtained, three of which had a '15% Constitution attribute'.

After some deliberation, Yagami Yoruichi chose one '20% omnipotent lifesteal' and two '17.5% magic penetration' attribute fragments from the remaining three fragments that did not yield any constitution attribute fragments.

In this way, Yoruichi Yagami's spell penetration attribute reaches 52.5%.

For other Silver and Gold tier attribute fragments, Yoruichi Yagami prioritized increasing armor and magic resistance, but she also obtained quite a few attributes such as constitution and spell power, which significantly improved Yoruichi Yagami's attributes.

Upon opening the attribute interface and seeing her attribute values ​​had increased dramatically, Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but smile.

His physical constitution and chakra limit both exceeded 300,000.

Even the [Spirit] attribute, which has always been a weakness, has increased to over 60,000 points after today's battle, thanks to the Hextech ability [Devour Souls].

With the addition of Wood Release and other ninjutsu, Yoruichi Yagami's combat power has completely entered the 'Kage level'.

An ordinary Kage-level ninja wouldn't be completely powerless against Yagami Yoruichi, but he also wouldn't have any chance of winning.

Even if several Kage-level powerhouses joined forces, it would be difficult to threaten Yoruichi Yagami.

Unless the group of Kage-level fighters besieging Yagami Yoruichi are all top-tier Kage-level fighters like the Third Raikage, Onoki, and Sakumo Hatake, and there are a large enough number of them with extremely good teamwork, it would be impossible for them to threaten Yagami Yoruichi.

"Of the Konoha F4, I'd guess only Hiruzen Sarutobi has the strength of a peak Kage, right? But that's not necessarily true. After all, he's not young anymore, and his fighting power might have declined quite a bit."

"According to the teacher and Uncle Sakumo, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were barely at the Kage level at their peak. Now that they are older, their physical strength has declined, and they haven't fought for many years, so their fighting spirit has also declined. They probably don't even have the strength of a Kage anymore."

"As for Shimura Danzo, without Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, without the Sharingan covering his arms and Hashirama cells, relying solely on Uchiha Kagami's Sharingan, his strength is at most at the level of an ordinary Kage."

"Even if Jiraiya and Orochimaru from the village are added, I don't need to worry about anything. This is a sure thing."

"The only thing to consider is the aftermath. But since Sakumo is the Hokage, I can only offer some advice; I don't need to worry about it too much."

After Yagami Yoruichi finished his calculations and made sure he hadn't forgotten anything, he fell soundly asleep.

……

At the same time.

Leaf.

When Sarutobi Hitsuji received a message from Sarutobi Yuusho, he looked worried and smoked pipe after pipe, filling the office with smoke.

The letters were spread out on the table.

It describes in detail Yagami Yoruichi's statement that she would "overthrow the Konoha leadership and punish Shimura Danzo".

If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Crucially, in Sarutobi Yuusho's message, he detailed Yagami Yoruichi and Hatake Sakumo's terrifying feat of defeating the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, killing the Third Raikage, and instantly annihilating over two hundred Cloud Ninja using Wood Release.

At this time, the Third Raikage was at his peak, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi himself was not confident that he could defeat him.

He even knew in his heart that if the two of them really fought, he would be more likely to lose because of his old age and declining health.

However, Yagami Yoruichi was able to kill the Third Raikage while dealing with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in cooperation with Hatake Sakumo.

The strength he demonstrated is already stronger than his.

More importantly, it's about the methods used by Yoruichi Yagami, which Sarutobi Yuuto mentioned in his mind.

Wood Release!
