The third generation Hokage sent Danzo to jail at the beginning

Kirabi, standing beside him, wiped the blade and sang: "When will the hidden hatred of the cloud be extinguished?"

Nara Shikaku's hand holding the teacup couldn't help but tremble a little, and he said in a deep voice, "In that case, I will take my leave first."

Ma Buyi nodded and said, "I'll take you there."

"You're so kind, Raikage-sama."

Nara Shikaku stood up and declined, saying, "I have other work to do. The secretariat will deliver intelligence documents later."

After saying that, Nara Shikaku left. As the busiest person in Konoha, he had other work to do.

As the door closed, seeing that no outsiders were around, Ma Buyi stood up, frowned, and said, "Lord Killer Bee, if Konoha succeeds in defeating the Akatsuki this time, its reputation will rise to a new level."

It seems that although Ma Buyi was forced to ascend the throne, the two of them still respected Kirabi in secret. It is better to call Kirabi the Hidden Thunder Shadow.

Kirabi was still wiping the blade. After his elder brother and Darui died one after another, he was forced to grow up a lot, and his cynical aura had disappeared.

"Indeed."

Killer Bee sheathed his sword and said, "But it doesn't make much difference. After all, Sand Village and Cloud Village have almost become their vassals, and Kirigakure seems to be about to do the same."

Ma Buyi paced back and forth, thought for a moment, and said, "Lord Kirabi, this time we're going to encircle and suppress Xiao..."

"I know, Sackcloth."

Killer Bee walked to the window and squinted at the Hokage Rock in the distance.

"I will exercise restraint."

His hatred was not only for Akatsuki, but also for Konoha. If the Raikage had not been killed in that conflict and the elite members of Kumogakure had not suffered heavy casualties, how could Akatsuki have broken through Kumogakure so easily?

Being in a foreign country is so lonely.

……

Ninjutsu High School Office.

"I don't want to be the Kazekage, I want to be the Hokage."

Hearing this, Kankuro's ears buzzed and he couldn't help but look at his brother beside him. He opened his mouth to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Kankuro looked up at the Konoha Pineapple Head Ninja across from him, and he too was stunned.

After a pause, Nara Shikaku changed his mind.

"If you can be the Kazekage now, you can strive to be the Hokage in the future."

"Gaara, Elder Chiyo is currently in charge of the Sunagakure side. This time she is leading the army to attack the Rain Village. The only thing she is worried about is the successor to the Sunagakure side. As the child of the former Kazekage, you are the most suitable successor."

This is true. This is the only requirement of Chiyo from Sunagakure for the expedition, which coincides with the idea of ​​Hokage.

Now it seems that Gaara is indeed very suitable to be the Kazekage.

Kankuro wanted to say, I can do it too.

But before he could say anything, his sister Temari said cautiously, "Didn't they say that only boys can be Kazekage?"

Nara Shikaku recalled and said, "That's not the case."

Temari immediately said, "Then I'll do it."

"Ahem." Nara Shikaku explained. "Strength is also crucial. Currently, the only one capable of becoming Kazekage is Gaara."

Kankuro and Temari both clicked their tongues.

Gaara said, "Is there no one else in the village? I still have to study with Naruto in school."

Nara Shikaku had to say: "Even if you become the Kazekage, you can still continue to study in Konoha. Look, doesn't the Raikage also stay in Konoha?"

Gaara then nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the matter was over, Nara Shikaku immediately got up and rushed to the next set.

He also has to give the devil fruit to Uchiha Sasuke.

Shikaku is too busy with work.

……

Konoha BBQ restaurant.

The barbecue is sizzling under the charcoal fire

It's Yamato's treat today.

Yamato was pouring wine for Kakashi and Gai, and said, "Have you heard that the Hokage is selecting the generals for the expedition to Amegakure?"

Kakashi nodded: "Indeed, I received this message as well."

Kai touched his chin and said, "Yamato, are you ready to sign up?"

Yamato sighed and said, "Last time, I delayed the battle and let the remaining Eight-Tails escape, and I missed the opportunity to become the general. Now the war has started again..."

Yamato raised his glass, drank it all, and said, "Today is the day to achieve great things."

You're really motivated, Yamato.

Kakashi sighed inwardly and said, "What are your plans, Yamato?"

Kai took a few pieces of grilled meat and stuffed them into his mouth, mumbling, "Yamato, you want to be Hokage too."

"I want to improve so badly," Yamato sighed. "Ever since last time, especially after you two were elected, I've become even more uncontrollable. Every night I can't help but rethink why I missed the mark."

Because Orochimaru is back, and he has taken your place.

Kakashi thought to himself and persuaded him, "I recently heard that in addition to the Five Tiger Generals, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix are also candidates for the succession of Hokage."

"I know that too!" Kai suddenly looked up and pointed. "Wolong is Lu Jiu, he's very famous now, and whoever gets him could conquer the world."

It seems that Fengchu is mine this time.

Yamato filled his glass, raised it, and said solemnly:

"My two dear friends, please lend me a hand."

Kakashi and Gai immediately raised their glasses and said, "We will do our best to help."

Yamato nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that the meal was not in vain.

Since he had agreed to help, Kakashi immediately analyzed the situation: "I suggest that we work together to take down the most valuable target in the Akatsuki organization—"

"Uchiha Obito!"

Kai immediately agreed: "Last time we let that last guy get away, this time we will kill him together."

……

Jiraiya was eating ramen with Naruto.

Now is family time.

Jiraiya wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "Naruto, how's your Flying Thunder God training going?"

There were already three empty bowls in front of Naruto. He rubbed his stomach and said, "Hahaha, I haven't learned it yet, but Sasuke is the same."

"It seems you look more like your mother." Jiraiya sighed slightly. It seems that Naruto might be more suitable for the path of powerful and powerful. "Well, let's convert our energy and start learning Sage Mode."

Naruto said with a slight annoyance: "I haven't given up yet. We have formed a Flying Thunder God study group, and we are making progress now."

"Is that so?" Jiraiya didn't intend to dampen Naruto's enthusiasm. "Then wait a little longer. Training in senjutsu won't happen overnight."

"Jiraiya-sama, this was given to you by Hokage-sama."

At this time, the fox-masked 'Jia', who was directly under the Hokage, suddenly appeared.

He handed Jiraiya an information scroll and left immediately.

Jiraiya took it, opened it, and immediately frowned.

Seeing Jiraiya's serious expression, Naruto couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, lecherous sage?"

Jiraiya closed the scroll and said in a deep voice, "Naruto, I'm going to go to the old man first."

Chapter 76: We must protect Yuyin

The rain in Yuyin Village never stops.

The steel tower pierced through the clouds, emitting a cold luster under the wash of countless rain rays.

On the street, ninjas wearing cloaks walked in the shadows; from the izakaya came the laughter of adults who were getting off work, and a few children were running and playing along the eaves; further away, huge pipes spewed out steam, blending with the rain and fog.

The Hidden Rain Village is different from the past. After Nagato gained power, relying on the technology gained through the Rinnegan, the style of the entire Hidden Rain Village became more and more ninjutsu-cyber.

The outline of Pain Tendao gradually became clear at the top of the tower, and the ripples of the Rinnegan glowed slightly in the rain.

"You're here." He didn't turn around, and his voice came mixed with the sound of rain.

The pieces of paper gathered like white butterflies in the rain. It was Xiaonan.

"Looking at this village again?"

Tendao Pain's gaze passed through the rain curtain, and the windows with dim lights looked like fireflies floating on the black sea.

"The pain is leaving this village."

This is Pain's kingdom of God. Nagato has been using Yahiko's vision to protect this small country that has suffered a lot together with Konan.

but now.

The evil Konoha is about to lead a large army to destroy all this beauty, just like they did more than ten years ago when they were still young.

But this time, the three of them were by no means powerless to resist.

Konan's gaze followed Tendo Pain and also looked at the lights of the Hidden Rain Village, and said, "If what Black Zetsu said is true. The situation is very bad."

Not long ago, Black Zetsu brought this news and hoped to cooperate with Akatsuki again.

Tendo Pain didn't respond for a moment.

After a while, he spoke again, "God is invincible."

Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan, does not think he will lose.

Konan said with a little uneasiness: "But if a war breaks out in the Hidden Rain Village, all of this might be destroyed."

Konan and Yahiko Nagato are different.

Among the trio, when Yahiko was still alive, she listened to Yahiko, and after Yahiko died, she listened to Nagato.

If Nagato says to fight, we fight; if Nagato says to surrender, we surrender.

In other words, the seemingly cold angel Xiaonan actually does not have a particularly broad vision.

Yahiko and Nagato are also different.

Yahiko is the true inheritor of Jiraiya's will. His slogan is to achieve peace through dialogue. He hopes to lead the Hidden Rain Village away from war and let everyone enjoy a peaceful life.

Nagato's story is very complicated. He has had a deep hatred for Konoha since childhood. Later, he met Jiraiya and owed him a great favor. It can be said that the entanglement of grievances and grudges is difficult to explain in a few words - all this did not end until Yahiko died, and the conflict finally broke out.

He chose to inherit Yahiko's ideals, transforming Yahiko's remains into "Heaven's Way" to continue his unfinished work. Later, the ambitious Obito disguised himself as Uchiha Madara and used Yahiko's ideals to twist the original Akatsuki into its current form.

However, a peaceful Amegakure was the original ideal of the trio. If Amegakure was sacrificed for 'world peace', would it still be worth it?

Is peace without Yuyin really peace?

Nagato, who shared the same perception with Tendo Pain in the tower, couldn't help but think.

Finally, he and Pein spoke together: "Konan, now that Yuyin has been exposed, let's go to the front together."

He planned to officially rule this ninja village as a god.

Xiaonan nodded: "Okay"

"We can't let Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu return to Akatsuki."

Ever since he drove away Obito and Black Zetsu, Nagato's thinking has become clearer, even though he has lost an important intelligence officer.

"Scorpion's spies can completely make up for Black Zetsu's intelligence work. That sneaky Uchiha Obito is completely useless. According to Scorpion's intelligence, he can't even beat Hatake Kakashi."

"Now that I think about it, Uchiha Obito's initial contact with me as 'Uchiha Madara' must have had bad intentions. Back then, during the reign of Konoha's Yondaime, he clearly hadn't died on the battlefield, yet he was playing tricks on me."

There is also a very crucial point, that Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame are actually from Konoha, and these two guys were recruited by Uchiha Obito.

Xiaonan had been listening quietly, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "You lied to us for so long."

I'm really impressed that such a bad guy dares to act like a big shot.
