Hikaru Hokage

It is indeed impossible for this powerful young ninja to become a rebellious ninja like Orochimaru.

"Yes, Nidaime-sama."

After seeing Senju Tobirama, Kushina seemed a little cautious.

"The Uzumaki clan has a close relationship with our Senju clan. By the way, is the Kingdom of Uzumaki still there?"

"The Kingdom of Whirlpool... no longer exists."

Kushina seemed to be remembering past events that she didn't want to remember, and her smart eyes suddenly sank.

"Is that so?"

Senju Tobirama was a little silent. When he was in power, the country of Whirlpool was already on the verge of collapse. Was it finally destroyed by the Sandaime?

I don’t know if Konoha had any involvement.

"Go back, the mission is completed."

It was time to return to the village to report the good news to Tsunade.

"To be on the safe side, you also need to be sealed, Second Hokage."

Because he didn't know when Orochimaru would make a comeback, or whether there was any backhand in Senju Tobirama who was reincarnated in the dirty land, Hino Hikaru decided to temporarily seal Senju Tobirama.

"understood."

If the ninja named Orochimaru doesn't take the initiative to remove the ninjutsu of the Earth Reincarnation, or if he forms a seal to release the Earth Reincarnation by himself, he will always "live" in the ninja world in this posture.

This is quite a headache.

Senju Tobirama doesn't want to remain in the ninja world as a reincarnated form of dirt.

Also, just in case someone reincarnates himself next time, Senju Tobirama feels that being sealed is a good thing.

It's just that this boy used to call himself Second Grandpa, but now he calls me Second Hokage?

What is his identity?

"Orochimaru was defeated!?"

After observing the battle between Hino Hikaru and Orochimaru from a distance, and sensing that Orochimaru's chakra had disappeared, Jiraiya came to a conclusion that surprised him.

That is, Orochimaru was actually defeated by Tsunade's man, that boy...

"Is this true? Jiraiya-sama?"

This is really exciting news.

When the accompanying ninjas heard what Jiraiya said, they all showed expressions of surprise and joy.

These days, the name Orochimaru is undoubtedly the embodiment of evil in the hearts of all Konoha ninjas.

He defeated Naruto and Mizukage by himself. This level of rebellious ninja made everyone panic, but now...

Fellow Sannin Jiraiya himself admitted that Orochimaru was defeated.

And they also observed the battle situation where Orochimaru was suppressed all the time.

So although everyone was surprised, they didn't have any doubts.

"Jiraiya, Lord Toad Sennin wants you to go back to Mt. Myoboku."

Bang!

Just when Jiraiya was about to rush to the scene and learn personally about the battle between the boy and Orochimaru, a toad, a psychic beast from Mt. Myoboku, suddenly appeared next to him.

"Big Toad Immortal? Is there a new prophecy?"

Jiraiya couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Children of prophecy, he has found two.

One is Nagato, whose situation is unclear now, and the other is his favorite disciple, Namikaze Minato.

Overall, he is still full of hope for the future of the ninja world.

But now that he heard the call from the Great Toad Immortal, he felt that things might not be as simple as he thought.

-

"Mom? And Aunt Kushina?"

Uchiha Itachi finally woke up.

"Aunt……"

When Kushina heard this call, she wanted to rush over and smash Itachi's head with a punch.

She's not married yet, how can she be called "aunt"?

"Great, you're finally awake!"

Uchiha Mikoto's face was full of joy and gratitude to Hino Hikari and Kushina.

The son finally returned to her safely.

"Where is this? Where is Orochimaru-sensei?"

Uchiha Itachi looked around and saw that there were only three female ninjas and a handsome big brother in front of him.

It's not the underground room from before.

This left him slightly confused as to what had happened before.

"Old, teacher?"

Uchiha Itachi's words after waking up made Uchiha Mikoto feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Itachi, why did you call Orochimaru-sensei? He is the bad guy who captured you!"

"Are you affected by the curse seal?"

Kushina is studying any sealing technique that can completely seal the curse seal on Uchiha Itachi's neck.

Or find a way to remove it.

"Curse seal? This?"

Uchiha Itachi touched the back of his neck with his hand.

"This doesn't hurt anymore. Teacher Orochimaru said that with this, I can gain the power of eternal life in the future, and I can also escape death after being stripped of my tailed beast, but the price is that I become his disciple."

"Is it true that a beast that has been stripped of its tail can escape death?"

Uchiha Mikoto's eyes lit up.

Her biggest worry before was that her son had become a Jinchuriki.

Now that there was a way to solve it, she regained a lot of hope.

only……

Can you believe what Orochimaru said?

Thinking of this, Uchiha Mikoto calmed down again, and then looked at Hino Hikaru with questioning eyes.

"It can indeed be done with forbidden techniques, but forbidden techniques have side effects..."

Although Fuzhi Reincarnation can escape death in a sense, Hino Hikaru doesn't care whether it requires frequent replacement of the body (container) or the fact that the spirit needs to be split every time and causes damage to the soul of the caster. I highly recommend using this ninjutsu.

"That's not as good as..."

After listening to Hino Hikaru's explanation of the disadvantages of the zombie reincarnation and the various harsh conditions for its activation, Uchiha Mikoto shook her head with great resistance.

Even if the mental consciousness will not change much, the body is no longer her son's body, can it still be regarded as her son?

Might as well be a jinchuriki all the time.

"Is there no other way..."

Uchiha Mikoto asked Hino Hikari with great hope again.

For some reason, she began to think like Kushina that if it was Hino Hikari, maybe she could do anything.

"No."

Hino Hikaru shook his head.

Maybe there will be abilities in the future that can solve the Jinchuuriki's troubles, but who knows?

"What about this curse seal?"

Even for the sealing technique, Kushina also found it difficult to deal with the curse seal Orochimaru left on Uchiha Itachi.

Although the evil seal can be used, it is only a temporary seal and does not have much effect at all.

"Don't worry, this curse seal is harmless to him for the time being, and it can also increase his strength."

It's just that there may be a part of Orochimaru inside, and using the power of the curse seal will make the body become very strange.

These are just two side effects.

"Does it really matter?"

That was the curse mark left by Orochimaru...

It wasn't that Uchiha Mikoto didn't believe Hikaru's words, but she was just subconsciously worried.

"Compared with the three tails in his body, Orochimaru's curse seal is indeed nothing."

Although Hino Hikari's words were meant to comfort him, they made the young lady in front of him even more sad.

"However, if you encounter any problems that cannot be solved in the future, you can come to me."

So he had to add this sentence.

This gentle wife indeed deserves to be treated with tenderness.

"Well, thank you, Brother Hino."

Hearing Hino Hikaru's promise, Uchiha Mikoto finally smiled again.

Although there was still concern for his son in his eyes, he was much better than before.

I really owe Brother Hino a lot of kindness this time, and I don’t know what I can repay in the future...

As for money, it seems that it was rejected before?

Moreover, Lady Tsunade is now the Hokage, so Brother Hino should not be short of money either.

Orochimaru defeated Mizukage and Naruto alone, and then Hino Hikaru defeated Orochimaru alone.

This back and forth eventually gave Hino Hikaru a huge reputation in the ninja world.

It's the same in Konoha...

Even without any publicity, many villagers in Konoha regard Hino Hikaru, who defeated Orochimaru, as the hero of the village.

Even Tsunade further consolidated the status of Hokage because of Hikaru's defeat of Orochimaru.

Not only did the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure Village leave Konoha in despair and no longer talk about Uchiha Itachi, Ohnoki of Iwagakure Village also rewrote a letter, and his words and attitude were 180 degrees different from before. U-turn.

"What a snobbish guy..."

Tsunade threw the re-sent letter from Ohnoki aside in annoyance and amusement.

"But now, shouldn't the Raikage be anxious?"

In the previous negotiations, the Raikage was quite strong, but now, with Hikaru's record and Ohnoki's complete "defection", Tsunade believes that it won't be long before the Raikage can put down his body and actually sit down with them. Ye negotiated.

"The Raikage has promised to compensate Konoha for all losses, but insists not to hand over the Eight-Tails, hoping to use money or resources instead."

There were documents placed in front of Shizune that were higher than those in front of Tsunade. At this time, she was constantly helping Tsunade handle the government affairs of Konoha Village.

"Really, if only those two old immortals... ahem, those two old consultants could be as sensible as the Mizukage Iwakage Raikage, and would honestly retreat behind the scenes and stop causing trouble for us."

Looking at the mountains of documents, Tsunade was really almost numb with boredom.

This was nothing like the Hokage she had imagined.

It was clear that when the uncle was Hokage, he had enough time to go home and take her to gamble. Why did he not have any free time when he came to her place?
