The third generation Hokage sent Danzo to jail at the beginning

Chapter 42 Envoys from Tushui and Shui

"Kakashi, you've gotten stronger."

Since the version update, Sarutobi Hiruzen's starting ninja has become Susano Kakashi.

He is worthy of being the king of this version, a must-have if not banned.

After winning three games in a row and giving the opponent thirty head-touches.

Sarutobi Hiruzen ended the entertainment time.

Start working on paperwork for today.

Sarutobi Hiruzen flipped through it and found two important things.

The first thing is the intelligence team's documents. The Raikage's body is not worth much. His brain has been charred by the lightning, and no information can be read.

He is so strong-willed. The Raikage is worthy of being the Zhang Fei of the ninja world.

The second thing is that the Cloud Ninjas will continue to fight, gathering a large number of troops and resources on the border in the name of revenge for the late emperor.

...So the dark-skinned and reckless man is really annoying.

They were clearly being used as pawns by the Akatsuki organization, yet they were determined to keep clinging to Konoha. This kind of desperate attitude was the most difficult to deal with.

Speechless, he ordered troops to be dispatched to the border of the Fire Nation to prepare for war.

At this time, the Anbu sent new information - the second-tail of the Cloud Village, Yukito, was missing.

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed heartily and said that the Cloud Ninjas were stupid. He ordered that the troops sent to the Fire and Thunder Border be reduced by half and only necessary defensive fortifications be built.

In a good mood, Sarutobi Hiruzen planned to leave the documents on his desk until tomorrow to get them stamped.

Just go to the subspace and surf happily to gain points.

There was a knock on the door outside the office.

It was none other than the Monkey Masked Anbu Armor.

"Hokage-sama. The envoys from the Iwagakure Village have arrived in Konoha and request a meeting."

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe, rubbed his temples, and began to think - what does that old bone Ohnoki want to do.

They arrived in Konoha without any warning. In other words, after the death of the Fourth Raikage, Ohnoki immediately sent his men on the expedition.

Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe and asked, "Who is leading the Iwagakure?"

"It's Iwagakure Jonin Huang Tu."

He is the son of Tsuchikage Ōnoki.

He's a powerful figure who can make decisions on the spot. It's almost the same as sending Jiraiya and Kakashi as envoys from Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled smoke and nodded. "He's a man of some importance. Let Shikaku go talk to him first. Just say I'm busy with official business and can't get away for the time being."

I'll try to figure out my stance for now. Since you've come to Konoha so hastily, you must have something to ask of me.

Anbu Jia took the order and left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen began to stamp the documents that had piled up on his desk.

Soon, there was a knock on the office door.

It was the fox-masked Anbu Shin, and his tone was also a little surprised.

"Hokage-sama. A delegation from the Hidden Mist Village has arrived in Konoha, requesting a meeting."

Is this the Kirigakure that has been missing for so many years? Is this the Kirigakure that has been ruled by the elders for so many years?

What a coincidence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the Hokage seal and asked, "Who is leading the Kirigakure?"

"It's a female jonin who calls herself Mei Terumi."

The future fifth Mizukage. This one is also familiar.

After a moment of thought, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Anbu Shin, "Take him to the living room next to Iwagakure to rest. Tell him I'm busy with official business and can't leave for the time being."

"Then tell Shikaku that after talking to Yellow Earth, let him continue talking to Terumi Mei."

……

The land of thunder.

The Cloud Village is located on top of a high mountain and has a completely different appearance from Konoha. If I had to describe it, it is more like Thunder Bluff.

Raikage's office.

Wearing the Raikage robe, Darui has officially become the fifth Raikage, and has also inherited the position of Raikage's secretary, Sackboyi.

At this moment, the Fifth Raikage was talking to his secretary.

"A large number of troops are deployed at the border, which should be enough to put enough pressure on Konoha."

The newcomers replaced the old ones, and Ma Buyi's expression was obviously a little sad: "Yes, Lord Raikage, we will mobilize our elite troops at the border. After showing our muscles, it is time to ask for peace with Konoha."

Darui shook his head. "Just call me Darui. I'm not used to being called so formal all of a sudden."

"You'll get used to it," Sackcloth interrupted softly, "Because you're... the Raikage now."

Darui was silent.

Yes, he had to get used to it—get used to controlling his anger, getting used to weighing the pros and cons.

Even though the intelligence sent by Konoha proved that everything was a conspiracy of Akatsuki, it was Kakashi of Konoha who personally cut off the head of the Fourth Raikage.

He remembered this hatred.

But revenge is what Darui should do, not what the Fifth Raikage should do.

Even if we have to fight, we can't do it now when so many elite Cloud Ninjas have died in the Land of Fire.

"We must avenge our big brother!"

The office door was kicked open and it was none other than Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

He walked to the Raikage's desk and tore off the intelligence scroll on it - this was the intelligence sent by Konoha that the whole thing was a conspiracy of the Akatsuki organization.

"What Akatsuki organization or not!"

The entire scroll turned into shreds by Kirabi's actions.

"Gather the troops and charge towards Konoha! Take the head of that white-haired boy and offer it to Big Brother!"

Killer Bee stared at the Fifth Raikage and shouted, "The whole ninja world is saying that it was Konoha Kakashi who beheaded the Raikage!"

Sackcloth-clad man stopped before Kirabi: "Lord Kirabi, wait a minute——"

"Get out of the way!" Kirabi pushed her away and looked directly at Darui.

"What about you?! You're just sitting there?!"

Darui lowered his head, his eyes buried in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen.

Darui said in a deep voice: "I am the Raikage. Killer Bee, my order to you is to stay in your duty and recuperate."

"fart!"

Kirabi's fist trembled as he was about to hit Darui in the face.

Darui looked up and stared at Kirabi, with no intention of dodging at all.

The fist finally slammed into the wall.

Killer Bee suddenly grabbed the collar of Darui's Raikage robe, and the Eight-Tails Chakra burst out around his body.

"Big Brother considers you his confidant and has devoted all his efforts to your cultivation! He even gave you the title of Raikage, 'Ai', which has been passed down through generations!"

Raikage's secretary Ma Buyi was about to stop him.

Darui continued to stare into Kirabi's eyes, while waving his hand to quiet Sackcloth.

"Now that his body is still warm—"

Killer Bee suddenly pushed Darui away, and Darui staggered backward and fell back onto the Raikage's chair.

"You're going to wear his robes and hat and imitate the politicians' official language?!"

Darui took a deep breath, tried to calm his tone, and said: "Qirabi, now is not the right time..."

There is no point in saying more.

Killer Bee took out a roll of blood-stained bandage from his arms - it was the one the Fourth Raikage had used to bandage his wounds before.

He suddenly tore off a long section and stuck it into his forehead.

"If you don't take revenge today, who will recognize you as the Raikage tomorrow?" He slammed the remaining bloody bandage on the desk. "I'll gather my old subordinates right away."

"Those who wish to follow me in cutting leaves shall wear this mourning cloth!"

Without waiting for Darui to say anything, he turned and walked towards the door, and the moment he stepped out of the door, he rapped loudly.

"Yoyo~ Yunyin men are wearing white clothes~"

"I will never return until I have conquered Konoha~"

Darui stood up suddenly and shouted: "Kirabi! You!"

bump!

The door to the Raikage's office was smashed.

The next day, at the gate of Kumogakure Village.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and dozens of Cloud Ninjas who were willing to follow Kirabi to death, with white scarves on their foreheads and white mourning robes on their shoulders, stood still like a funeral procession.

At the front is Kirabi, who is about to lead the troops.

"Konoha Kakashi kill my Raikage."

Kirabi shouted loudly: "If this revenge is not avenged, where will Yunyin exist?!"

Everyone beat their chests with their fists and shouted, "Revenge!"

A bolt of lightning fell.

It was the Fifth Raikage Darui, his face darkening as he shouted, "Enough, Killer Bee!"

Kirabi didn't want to pay attention and wanted to lead the team to seek revenge.

Darui's voice was filled with suppressed anger. "The wooden man was attacked, and the second tail was taken."

Darui took off the Raikage's hat, and a blood-stained bandage was tied around his forehead.

"dawn……"

Chapter 43 I observe that Meiming also has the will of fire

Hokage's office.

After two consecutive long meetings lasting several hours, Nara Shikaku, the Crouching Dragon of Konoha, looked a little tired.

He gently placed the intelligence scroll containing the meeting's contents on the desk and tapped his temple with his knuckles.

"Iwagakure's proposal is very clear. Form an alliance with Konoha to defeat the Kumogakure ninja and divide up the northern mineral veins of the Land of Lightning."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was watching the content of the meeting while listening to Shikaku's analysis. His pipe paused at his lips and he exhaled a puff of white mist.

As expected, Ohnoki is truly ambitious despite his age. He clearly lacks young talent under his command, yet he still wants to take advantage of the situation.

It must be because Konoha won this conflict and the Sand Shinobi clung to Konoha, so they set their sights on Kumogakure.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment before making his decision: "Reject it. We in Konoha have always been upright and just since the First Hokage. We have been the army of justice since ancient times. How could we invade another country's territory?"

Ohnoki was truly blinded by his age. He had clearly been warned through intelligence that the two runaway jinchuriki from Iwagakure were being targeted. That's right, Ohnoki was one of Akatsuki's employers, so he must have taken Konoha's intelligence for granted.

Now that the second wooden figure has run into trouble, the fourth and fifth ones won’t be far behind.

Even if we agree to Ōnoki, he will definitely regret it immediately if something happens to his family. He might even turn the tables and say something like "Konoha is ambitious and we are also victims of Iwagakure."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was also from the third generation, knew very well what Ōnoki's reputation was.

Even in the original story, the Third Hokage knew Ōnoki very well and gave a detailed explanation of the comparison between Dust Release and the Truth-Seeking Ball.

"Onoki is a man with a fierce appearance but a weak courage, and he's always plotting without decision," Sarutobi Hiruzen commented. "Instead of focusing on expansion, it would be better for him to train a successor as soon as possible. In my opinion, it would be best for him to find the next Tsuchikage as soon as possible."
