Simultaneous Transmigration: Both Start in a Near-Death State

At Li Ke's residence.

Li Ke sat in the main seat, looking at the kind and amiable old man in front of him.

"When I officially ascend the throne in a few days, you will also have to come and see me."

"I wonder if the Hokage has something to say to me since he came to see me early?"

Li Ke asked.

Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly took a sip of tea: "I just wanted to see His Highness the Ninth Prince."

Li Ke shook his head: "Just say what you want to say."

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his teacup and looked directly at Li Ke: "How does Your Highness view my Konoha Village?"

Li Ke said, "The pillars of the nation."

"Don't worry, Hokage."

"I will give you every penny of the funds you are owed."

"More may be added later."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile became more genuine: "Thank you, Ninth Prince."

After finishing speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi prepared to get up and leave.

Since the new daimyo's attitude towards Konoha Village remains unchanged, and he will continue to provide strong support in the future.

Then there's no need for him to stay any longer.

As for how Li Ke rose to power?

It wasn't an important matter for the Hokage.

"Is the Hokage leaving already?"

The voice came from behind.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately turned around: "What does Your Highness need me to do, or what Konoha needs to do?"

Li Ke laughed and said, "Hiruzen, get ready for the Fourth Shinobi World War."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned.

Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly snapped out of his daze and asked, "What does Your Highness mean by this?"

"Literal meaning."

"To prepare you for the Fourth Shinobi World War."

Li Ke said calmly.

Li Ke stared at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Don't you think there are too many countries in this world?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils suddenly contracted: "Your Highness, this is impossible!"

"Peace is what people truly desire."

Li Ke nodded: "I know that your Konoha Village suffered heavy losses."

"Konoha Village needs to recuperate and rebuild."

Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness is wise."

"I'll give you five years."

"Five years from now, the Fourth Shinobi World War will be launched by my Land of Fire."

Li Ke said.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but ask, "Is it absolutely necessary to fight?"

Li Ke nodded: "We must fight."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pressed on, "Why is it absolutely necessary to fight?"

Li Ke smiled and said, "Only after unification can we achieve better development and enable the people to live a better life."

"I need the wisdom of the collective."

"The world needs collective wisdom."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, filled with doubt, asked, "Your Highness, has something happened?"

Li Ke pointed upwards: "There are aliens who want to invade us, so we'd better make plans as soon as possible."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed.

Has this Ninth Prince gone mad?

Was Danzo right?

Fine, I'll agree to it for now.

In any case, whether or not to start a war is up to Konoha.

What can his name do to me?

He took a deep breath and said, "Then let His Highness issue orders to Konoha after he ascends the throne."

After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned and left without hesitation.

"Wait a moment."

The sound came again.

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around, his tone calm, and asked, "Your Highness, is there anything else?"

At that moment, Orochimaru emerged from behind the screen.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Orochimaru and demanded, "What are you doing here?"

He suddenly looked at Li Ke, then at Orochimaru: "Was it you who slandered him here, Orochimaru!"

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was filled with anger.

Orochimaru calmly replied, "Master, all of this was His Highness's decision."

"Wait until this Ninja World War is over."

"Orochimaru will become my chief science minister."

"He will also be the dean of the Future Academy."

"At that time, I will also establish schools throughout the Land of Fire."

"Ninja studies is one of the many subjects."

Li Ke said calmly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately said, "No! Not everyone has the talent of a ninja."

Li Ke nodded: "You're right."

Orochimaru took out a bottle of potion: "This is a ninja potion that His Highness and I developed together."

"It can give ninja talent to those who don't have it."

"It can also enable those who already possess ninja talent to develop even better ninja skills."

Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly understood something.

He couldn't help but ask, "What if Konoha doesn't join the war five years from now?"

Li Ke laughed: "Then there's no need for it to exist."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Li Ke.

He couldn't understand how a young man could be so arrogant.

Li Ke said, "Since Orochimaru wants to serve as my minister, he will not compete for the position of Hokage of Konoha."

"Send it to whomever you want, Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Li Ke stood up: "I've said my piece. What you want to do is up to you."

After saying this, Li Ke left.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glared at Orochimaru: "Were you the one who instigated this? And what's with all this talk about aliens? Who would believe that!"

Orochimaru sighed, "People are always willing to believe what they see with their own eyes. As for things they haven't seen, they will only think of them as heresy and cannot accept them."

"But humanity has been able to develop to where it is today thanks to continuous exploration."

"Otherwise, where would all these ninja techniques and technologies come from?"

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he turned and left.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with questions.

What is all this about?

What exactly is Orochimaru trying to do?

What exactly does the Ninth Prince want to do?

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried.

He stood there for a while, then turned and left.

at the same time.

backyard.

Orochimaru said to Li Ke, "Danzo is probably about to make his move."

Li Ke laughed and said, "Are you afraid I'll die?"

Orochimaru shook his head: "Leave the corpse intact."

Li Ke said helplessly, "You seem to have a lot of faith in me."

Orochimaru was speechless.

With your strength, even if the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, were to be resurrected, he probably wouldn't be a match for you, right?

Why are you pretending to be a weak, virgin with me?

three days later.

Li Ke officially succeeded to the throne.

Various reform policies were also issued one by one.

In other ancient worlds, Li Ke might have to consider whether this would anger the nobles.

But this is Naruto.

How many heads can a nobleman have?

What? You're saying that without nobles, who will govern, who will do business, and who will deal with unruly people?

Sorry, but aside from indulging in drinking, gambling, and prostitution, Li Ke has been doing all the important work for the past three years.

His influence had already been established in various major cities.

Li Ke was waiting for these treacherous officials and rebels to cause trouble.

three days later.

Li Ke went out riding a horse and hunting.

He shook off his guards and galloped through the forest.

Suddenly, Li Kela stopped the reins.

He said, "Everyone, let's make a move."

As soon as he finished speaking, various ninjutsu techniques attacked.

The ninjas who unleashed their ninjutsu were about to check on Li Ke's condition when they immediately felt a chill on their necks.

They turned around and saw that Li Ke was standing next to them at some point.

They wanted to say something, but it was too late.

at the same time.

Shimura Danzo looked at the daimyo before him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Li Ke sighed, "An intelligence agent, unaware of my true strength, dared to attempt an assassination."

"Danzo, your talent is still too low."

"Go down and ask your teacher for some proper guidance."

the next day.

Hiruzen Sarutobi received news of Danzo's death.

He remained silent for a long time.
