The Strongest Gentleman Development System in Naruto

It was so sudden! The joint raid by the Iwa and Amegakure ninja was so unexpected that it caught Konoha completely off guard.

Such a large enemy force had secretly infiltrated the area around Konoha without them noticing?! What were their intelligence agencies doing?

Well, these Konoha ninjas were naturally unaware of this. Just a few days ago, their intelligence personnel had received a troop rotation order from a higher-up, ordering a complete withdrawal from that area.

Smoke and dust filled the main arena of Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at Onoki opposite him. "Lord Tsuchikage, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to intimidate us?" Beside him, Jiraiya, Minato, and the others all drew their weapons, their faces full of vigilance.

“Without a real common goal and interests, peace will always be just a slogan.” Onoki floated in mid-air, arms crossed. “Only you would believe such a false thing, Sarutobi.” As he finished speaking, the Iwagakure ninjas assumed attack stances, ready to strike.

"Lord Tsuchikage, what exactly are you referring to as 'benefits'?"

"We can sit down and discuss our demands properly; there's no need for this kind of posturing."

^

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, the two Hokage advisors, also spoke up. In their view, the other party was deliberately making such intimidating moves to achieve certain goals.

"It needs to be discussed."

Danzo Shimura, who had remained silent since the Iwagakure delegation entered Konoha, finally spoke. "However, not with you. But with me..." He lifted his foot and walked step by step to stand beside Onoki.

what?

At this moment, everyone in Konoha, including the Third Hokage, was stunned, their eyes filled with shock, astonishment, and disbelief.

"Danzo, you?"

"Danzo, are you going to betray Konoha?"

"Have you forgotten Tobirama-sensei's teachings?"

Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Hiruzen Sarutobi questioned him one after another, their faces showing confusion, doubt, and anger.

"Hmph, of course I haven't forgotten that." Danzo snorted, "However, you are no longer suitable to inherit the will of the Second Hokage, Sarutobi. You're too old! Konoha can only truly take root and flourish in my hands!"

"Danzo, your heart is completely twisted," Hiruzen Sarutobi rebuked. "You're not doing this for Konoha; you just want the Hokage position!"

"It's you who's twisted."

Danzo looked at him calmly and said, "Look at all the bastards you've done over the years! Even so, you're still constantly building up your own power! From Minato Namikaze to Mugetsu Yuhi!" As he spoke, his eyes gradually turned sinister.

· ……

"Because they are good enough." Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly, "Danzo, I knew long ago that you harbored resentment towards me. But I never expected you to do something like this!"

"That's right, Danzo! What you've done is unforgivable!"

"It doesn't matter if we have internal conflicts, but you're colluding with outsiders now!"

Koharu Utatane and Haru Mitokado were also filled with righteous indignation.

"There are many things you haven't considered." Danzo's lips curled into a playful smile. He lightly tapped the ground with his cane.

hum.

It's like turning on some kind of signal.

Shhhhhh.

Figures gathered from all directions of the square.

They were all dressed in the uniform silver-gray clothing of the Konoha Anbu, but their masks were outlined with various patterns and colors such as dark red, bluish-gray, and silver-white, making it easy to tell that they were members of Root.

Not only that, with the appearance of these root members, a dark purple light curtain suddenly rose outside the entire conference hall. The light curtain unfolded in a semi-circular shape at an extremely fast speed, enveloping the entire conference hall.

"This is... a pre-set barrier?"

"Danzo! You really did plan this all along!"

"How long have you been planning for this day?"

"How long have you been planning this?" Danzo smiled and said softly, "It probably started the day we went to war with Iwagakure. Even the decision to negotiate was suggested to Onoki by me."

"I see." Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to finally understand something, and said with a gloomy face, "Even the suggestion to send Yuhi Muzuki to the battlefield in the Land of Water was for this day?"

251 War breaks out everywhere!

"You could say that."

Slowly unwrapping the bandages from his right arm, Danzo said nonchalantly, "That brat is a bit troublesome. If I don't get rid of him, he'll be a major obstacle to my plans."

"You've already developed a fear of him, Danzo," Jiraiya interjected, scoffing. "Does someone like you even deserve to be Hokage?"

"Whether you're qualified or not isn't up to you, junior." Danzo glanced at him coldly and said, "Also, watch your words. It's not out of fear, it's just to make my actions a little easier."

“I’d like to know how convenient it is.” Jiraiya narrowed his eyes and said, “If we’re talking about actual combat strength, we’d say we have a slight advantage.”

"Is that so?" Onoki chuckled and said, "I don't think so." He flicked his hands, his ten fingers moving rapidly.

Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!

Rumble.

The dirt road suddenly split open, revealing a long dragon formed from solidified earth. The dragon raised its head and spewed out a stream of grayish-brown mud.

Faced with this forced initiation by the opponent, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Minato, and the others instinctively scattered.

Splash!

Large amounts of mudslides crashed onto the ground, splashing up trails of mud.

Standing by a stone pillar, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, have you considered... the consequences of doing such a thing?"

Bang.

His answer was a gust of wind that brushed past him.

Danzo appeared opposite him, his face cold as he said, "Are you still clinging to some wonderful illusion, Sarutobi? Things have come to this, and neither of us has a way out."

Is that so?

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply. Then, he pulled down his Hokage robe, revealing a black bodysuit underneath. "Since that's the case, I'll have to wake you up in another way."

"Hmph, what a nostalgic outfit." Danzo smirked as he unwrapped the gauze on the right side of his body, revealing pale skin underneath.

.

"Your body?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback, a look of astonishment on his face. "Ah! This feeling of renewal is wonderful!" Danzo's face broke into a maniacal grin. Then, his hands rapidly formed hand seals.

Wood Release: Wood Splinter Technique!

Shhhhhh.

One by one, barbed, dead trees rose from the ground and pierced towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"This, this is... the First Hokage's Wood Release?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils constricted. He dodged to the right, his initial astonishment turning into disbelief.

"Surprised?" Danzo grinned and said, "That's the difference between you and me, Sarutobi. I'm not as hypocritical as you! I'll use everything I can to achieve my goals."

"Hey, this is really troublesome." Seeing this, Jiraiya broke out in a cold sweat.

He had initially thought his teacher would have a sure win against Danzo. The titles of "Ninja Doctor" and "Ninja Hero" were well-deserved. But now that his opponent possessed the special ability of Wood Release, things were starting to look uncertain.

However, just as he was about to rush over to help, a figure suddenly blocked his way. On the surface, it appeared to be a Root member wearing a mask. But when he removed the mask, revealing a pale face, Jiraiya's entire expression changed. "Orochimaru?! You, how could you..."

"Well, you'd better not disturb the teacher's enjoyment." Orochimaru didn't answer the other party directly, but grinned and said, "Let's have some fun."

"Damn it!" Jiraiya's face showed astonishment and surprise as he shouted, "Even you're planning to betray us? What benefits did Danzo give you?"

"Don't put it so harshly..." Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips. "We're just partners. Well then, let's begin!" He flicked his right sleeve.

Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!

Several intertwined venomous snakes emerged from his sleeve and shot towards Jiraiya.

asshole!

Even though he didn't want to fight his comrades, Jiraiya had no choice but to bite the bullet and resist.

As these two groups clashed with their opponents, battles were also raging throughout the rest of the arena. The fighting was most intense on Minato's side. Several Root and Iwagakure ninjas lay dead at his feet, their gazes fixed intently on their opponents.

"Ah, the name Golden Flash is indeed quite extraordinary."

His opponent was none other than the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki. A Kage-level powerhouse with a Kekkei Tota! "The fastest speed in the ninja world, truly deserved. No wonder Sarutobi has chosen him as the next Hokage candidate."

“If I could, I wouldn’t want to fight this battle.” Minato Namikaze said solemnly, ignoring the flattery.

"You should know that this is impossible now." Onoki shook his head and sighed softly, "At this point, no one can salvage the situation. It's just that you were too careless. Enough with the nonsense. Come on, let me experience the true power of the fastest ninja in the ninja world."

"Then I'll have to offend you." Even at this moment, Minato Namikaze remained humble and polite. However, a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Those who want to destroy what you cherish cannot be forgiven!

252 Unexpected

call out.

Minato Namikaze pulled a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and hurled it at Onoki. The speed and force were so great that it produced an extremely loud whistling sound.

However, such an attack was clearly ineffective against a Kage-level powerhouse. Floating in mid-air, Onoki simply shifted his body to the side, easily dodging the kunai's attack.

However, to everyone's surprise, a golden light suddenly appeared behind Onoki, instantly transforming into Minato Namikaze, who grabbed the kunai flying in mid-air and thrust it straight at Onoki's back.

Well?

The strong wind that blew up behind his head made Onoki react instantly.

He suddenly lurched backward. His movements were incredibly fast, almost unlike an old man with one foot in his grave. Even so, under Minato Namikaze's attack, his arm was still slashed with 07 bloody cuts, and water droplets seeped from the wounds, sliding down his arm.

“I see.” Onoki frowned, a serious expression on his face. “Your Flying Thunder God Technique has completely surpassed that of the Second Hokage. Has it been modified? With such talent… no wonder Danzo saw you as a thorn in his side.”

To be honest, if it weren't for his instinctive reaction to the danger, he would probably have been seriously injured instantly. This was the first time he had encountered such a formidable enemy since becoming the Tsuchikage.

Swish.

Minato Namikaze stood in another spot, intently watching Onoki. Even though he had gained the initiative and advantage with just one move, he dared not let his guard down in the slightest.

After all, this is the renowned Third Tsuchikage. Known as the balance between two bloodline limiters, if one were to be slightly off-target and take a hit from him, it wouldn't just be a matter of injury. One would likely be instantly reduced to dust.

Because they both had reservations, the two simply looked at each other from a distance. For the time being, neither of them made another move.

Meanwhile, the battles in other locations gradually intensified.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya were evenly matched, and both were extremely familiar with each other's techniques. Often, the moment the other unleashed an attack or escapade, they already had countless ways to counter and defend against it. It was like a martial arts film, where they would parry and counter each move according to a set pattern.

Actually, the reason for this is understandable. ~彡
