Konoha: Start by signing in with Hashirama's cells

Orochimaru couldn't resist the power of the senjutsu.

The immortal reincarnated beings can be targeted with sealing techniques.

With the help of elite jonin such as Kakashi and Might Guy, Orochimaru's side was in a state of defeat.

In general, the outcome has been decided, with only a small number of unaware Sand Ninjas and Sound Ninjas still burning, killing, and destroying.

It was not until the sunset that the plan to destroy Konoha, led by Orochimaru, came to an end.

~~~

On the rock of the Third Kage, Naruto sat there in a daze.

Seeing that the sun had completely set, he let out a long breath, took out a small bottle of wine, unscrewed it, drank half of it himself, and poured the other half onto Shadow Rock.

He lit another cigarette, but didn't smoke it, letting it burn out.

"The drama of master and disciple killing each other should be taken as a warning to prevent being backstabbed by the disciple in the future. I will never accept a disciple." Naruto thought unconsciously.

Close your eyes and observe silence for twenty minutes.

He stood up, brushed off the dust on his pants, jumped down, and disappeared into the night in a few flashes.

Jiraiya then appeared and sat where Naruto had just sat, and said self-deprecatingly: "I didn't make it again. I am such a failure."

Chapter 79 Root

West of Konoha Village.

A very secluded and lifeless little house.

Outside the window, a man was half-kneeling, with his head down, narrating the major events that had taken place in the village.

He wears an animal mask and ANBU-specific attire. Looking at his appearance, he is very similar to an ANBU, but he is not an ANBU.

In other words, it is not the Anbu that is directly under the Hokage in the general sense.

But it is another force in Konoha Village.

root.

Danzo, whose power was deprived by three generations and who could only stay at home to retire, slowly opened his left eye, and his right eye, which was covered by a bandage, also began to tremble.

"Kyuubi Jinchuriki, gather all the information related to him," Danzo said hoarsely.

Once the third generation dies, he will have another chance to make a comeback. He can regain the power he lost and even have a chance to become Hokage.

In the entire Konoha, there are three most precious and important powers.

Wood escape.

Sharingan.

Kyuubi.

He has already mastered two of them, and only needs to master the last one.

The Nine-Tails alone was enough to tempt him, not to mention that Naruto, as a Jinchūriki, also possessed the power of Wood Release.

Soon, former members of the Root organization were called together to do their best to carry out Danzo's orders and put as much information as possible on the table.

"Five chakra attributes."

"It's different from Tenzo's Wood Release. It's more active and full of vitality."

"I have been able to use the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox so perfectly."

"His speed and reflexes are beyond imagination. Even when Orochimaru attacked with all his strength, he was able to react and evade. Heh, he is Minato's child after all."

After reading the strength part, Danzo was extremely satisfied, and then he read the relationship part.

"Hyuga Hinata and Hyuga Hanabi are both from the main family, so don't act rashly."

"Uchiha Sasuke, with Itachi here, it's not a good idea to touch him before Itachi dies."

"Haruno Sakura... huh? Flying Thunder God! This is not a Flying Thunder God that is similar to those of Yamashiro Aoba and Shiranui Genma. This is a Flying Thunder God that can be used independently!"

Danzo's eyes widened, he looked up, and said, "I want information about Haruno Sakura! All of it!"

It was difficult to gather information about Naruto, and the process took some time, but Sakura did not encounter so many obstacles and was able to obtain it very easily.

"Extremely intelligent, known to have mastered knowledge of Chunin and above through self-study."

“Memory, comprehension, and learning ability are excellent.”

"He has great strength, and his chakra control is superb. He has an excellent talent for illusion. His weakness is that he has little chakra."

Danzo drummed his fingers and closed his eyes in thought.

"With Jiraiya here, I can't take the throne, let alone touch the Kyuubi."

"Given Jiraiya's usual style of running around for that ridiculous, so-called child of prophecy, it's impossible for him to succeed the Hokage. It's very likely that he will push it to someone else."

"Tsunade, it's probably her."

"It's obvious that she is on Jiraiya's side and won't agree with my proposal. In this case, if I want to intervene and interfere with the Nine-Tails, I have to find another way."

Picking up Sakura's ninja file and looking her over, Danzo murmured, "We've been together since ninja school and lived together for a while. We can be said to be best friends."

"He also possesses considerable talent. With a little investment of resources, we can harvest a top-notch expert."

"As for the issue of loyalty, I'll use Bie Tian Shen. Her qualifications are worthy of me using Bie Tian Shen to subdue her."

"It's a pity that the Jinchūriki has the help of the tailed beasts. There is a certain failure rate in illusion. It would be a waste if we don't try to use such an important person like the Betanaka."

Otherwise, there is no need to go through so much trouble. You can directly control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, saving time, effort and worry.

"I was born a commoner, but I am extremely talented. I missed Orochimaru, Minato, and I will not let him go again this time."

Danzo stopped tapping his fingers and gave instructions.

"Haruno Sakura, bring her to see me to prevent Jiraiya from doing anything bad. Wait until he leaves and keep it a secret so no one sees."

"Also, she can use Flying Thunder God. To prevent her from flying away, we need to immediately break her hands to prevent her from forming seals."

"It's only been a short while since I learned it. It's already amazing that I can use it with one hand. It's impossible for me to be able to use it without any seals."

The subordinates standing quietly outside the house half-knelt on the ground in unison: "Yes."

~~~

A few days passed by in a flash.

After the Third Hokage was buried, there was a collective memorial service. Konoha urgently needed someone who could command the support of the people to step forward, shoulder the burden of being Hokage, and succeed the Fifth Hokage.

The two advisors came to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya came to Naruto again.

There was no time to lose, so we decided to set off that day.

Konoha gate.

"Brother-in-law, you must come back soon. My sister and I will miss you. Remember to buy you a gift." Huahuo said.

Hinata's Byakugan entered her second transformation and was bedridden due to the pain, so she was unable to come and see him off.

"Okay." Naruto nodded.

"To find the Fifth Hokage, why do you want to go too?" Sakura said.

"Uh, maybe you need me?" Naruto didn't know what to say.

Without the Third Generation, Jiraiya would not feel comfortable leaving him alone in the village. There were too many issues involved that could not be explained in a few words.

Sakura looked at Naruto.

Hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to say to me?" Naruto asked puzzledly.

"Let's wait until you come back." Sakura took a deep breath and shook her head.

How could she open her mouth when there were so many people present, including Kakashi, Jiraiya, Hanabi, and the maid of the branch family?

Most importantly, she herself was afraid of hearing a rejection.

Before the answer is revealed, there is half success and half failure.

Once revealed, there is no going back.

Naruto did not doubt it. He said goodbye to everyone one by one and left with Jiraiya, embarking on the journey to find Tsunade and succeed the Fifth Hokage.

By the way, Sasuke didn't come because he didn't want to waste even a moment of time and was practicing and training hard.

~~~

"You left so suddenly! So you haven't confessed yet?" Ino said.

Sakura said helplessly: "What can I do? Hokage-sama has sacrificed himself. How can I confess my feelings in this situation?"

"I was originally planning to wait a few days, and after this matter is over, I'll find a chance to confess my feelings. Now that he's gone, it'll be at least a month."

"That's no big deal, Flying Thunder God, it will be over in a flash." Ino said.

Sakura said nothing.

"Are you afraid of failure?" Ino guessed.

Sakura nodded.

into the night.

Sakura took a shower and changed into pajamas.

I read a book for a while as usual, and then practiced taking off Thor.

He didn't lie on the bed until he was exhausted and could no longer muster enough chakra to use Flying Thunder God once, then he lay on his back and prepared to fall asleep.

And at this moment, the three female ninjas who were hiding under the bed, in the closet, and on the ceiling suddenly jumped up.

One person was responsible for knocking Sakura unconscious.

The other two were responsible for twisting Sakura's left and right hands, one on the left and one on the right.
