Because you suspected that I was going to declare war on you, I decided to sacrifice Hatake Kakashi to solve the problem and clear up the misunderstanding between us?

That year, the Sandaime Hokage only sacrificed the head of a Hyuga branch jonin, and the branch jonin also killed the jonin envoy of the Land of Lightning.

Although this way of apologizing and compensating for human lives is shameful, the exchange ratio based on the number of people is considered fair.

Now, you're going to sacrifice Konoha's No. 1 jonin to appease the suspicions of other countries?

Ninjas are not civilians, and the violent tempers of military nobles make them unable to accept such humiliation.

At the high-level meeting, Tsunade was met with a storm of fierce criticism, and Danzo even bluntly asked Tsunade to resign.

"You are no longer qualified to be Hokage."

107 The Revenge of Nine-tailed Tamamo: You abandoned me, I will make you regret it

Konoha is famous for its "gerontocracy", where these elderly elders hold great power.

Tsunade was nominally the Hokage, but in reality Konoha entered the "Twin Peaks Period" during this period.

Shimura Danzo, Mito Monen...

Since the death of the Sandaime Hokage, both of them have been the pinnacle of Konoha in terms of seniority and prestige.

The two oversee the Hokage administration.

However, the "old men" who supervise the Hokage are not united as they also have conflicts and disputes.

It seems that due to the influence of Uzumaki Menma's thoughts, Shimura Danzo's thoughts have completely changed in two years.

He believed that Konoha should carry out comprehensive reforms to win over the hearts of the people.

If we don't reform, we will perish. The rebels in the South are ready to make a move.

There were many voices in support of Danzo, and he relied on this political stance to win over the hearts of many "reformists".

Mitokado En opposed it, and he symbolized the deep-rooted conservatism in Konoha.

He believed that if a comprehensive reform was carried out, Konoha would not be able to withstand the flood of heretical ideas and would perish.

He supports only limited reforms.

Mitomon strongly demands strong supervision of public opinion.

"During the time of the Sandaime Hokage, no matter what he did, Uzumaki Menma would study his words carefully, grab his braids, and take advantage of his loopholes."

"Now that we are in power, I think it is better to tighten up these things to prevent others from taking advantage of us."

"There is no law. We take the initiative and control it however we want."

Shimura Danzo would retort: ​​"Don't be indecisive. You must seize the opportunity now. If the window is open, flies and mosquitoes will inevitably fly in."

However, their conflict is not as intense as a life-and-death struggle.

They all insisted on maintaining Konoha's position and upholding the will of fire passed down by successive Hokage.

but......

Just as Danzo's "radical" thoughts originated from Menma, Menen's "conservative" thoughts also originated from this young man who caused chaos in the ninja world.

"First, Konoha ninjas are easy to control and will never rebel even if they die in battle."

"Second, the power struggle among the top leaders should not lead to killing, otherwise the descendants will not be able to meet each other."

“Third, power must be transferred to one’s own children, otherwise their ancestral graves will be dug up in the future.”

"Fourth, public opinion must not be liberalized, or it will be caught."

These are exactly the quotations from "Menma's Diary", and this book is now sealed by Konoha's high-level officials and listed as "more dangerous than the Sealed Book of Forbidden Techniques".

Whether it is Danzo Shimura or Mito Kado En, they all hold some of Menma's ideas.

"Tsunade becomes Hokage" was the decision they made after discussion.

A few days ago, due to the "Hiroko Incident", a parade took place in Konoha, with many participants, including Konoha's senior ninjas and ninjas from various famous families.

They raised the banner of opposition to Tsunade and demanded reforms in Konoha.

During the meeting, Danzo believed that the ninja parade was caused by "Tsunade's failure to govern."

Danzo asked Tsunade: "Don't you have any responsibility?"

Tsunade replied: "I reserve my opinion."

Danzo said: "I'm not holding back, but I want you to step forward immediately and reflect on your mistakes."

This time, ordering Tsunade to resign seemed to be just a warning, urging Tsunade to solve the problem.

March is the season of spring flowers blooming.

Ever since the incident with Hiruko many days ago, Naruko's mood has hit rock bottom, with the masked boy hovering over her head like an indelible shadow.

Wearing thin pajamas, sitting on the bed with legs bent and arms resting on knees as pillows.

That skill...

She had imagined this scenario countless times in her mind.

"The speed of forming hand seals, the speed of launching ninjutsu, and the speed of reaction are all so fast."

That's it, no matter what, she didn't think she could win over the other party.

Will lose!

She also imagined what would happen if she used Sage Mode.

No, it’s hard to get the chance, right?

Even if it is activated, am I really sure I can defeat him?

"You can do it." This was Tamamo's voice.

The beautiful pink-haired woman appeared behind her, gently supported her shoulders, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "It's okay, I believe you."

"Are you going to disappoint that person?"

"That person entrusted everything to you. He believed in you."

The gentle voice seemed to have some kind of magic, and Naruko's eyes gradually regained their luster.

Naruko said in a firm tone, "Yes, I will fulfill Menma's ideal. I will protect Konoha."

Tamamo smiled with relief.

However, this smile was extremely fake, and behind it was the fox's deepest malice.

This is Tamamo's revenge.

He, for his ideals, cruelly abandoned me.

So, I want to destroy his ideals and make him feel my pain.

Hey, master?

Don't you want to save humanity?

Don't you want to change the world?

Then I will destroy this world and let humanity be immersed in pain.

I want you to see that the things you expected were destroyed by the very hands of the woman (Naruko) you wanted to protect.

That’s right, since the day Menma abandoned Tamamo, this stunningly beautiful fox demon has once again awakened the attribute of “bringing disaster to the country and the people.”

During these two years, Tamamo instilled knowledge into Naruko, guiding her in a direction that was the opposite of Menma's ideals.

Defend Konoha, defend the Land of Fire...

For the sake of peace, those who disturb the world must be eliminated...

Let the world calm down.

How strong is Naruko now?

The basic stat is 65, which is on par with many Akatsuki ninjas.

Only veteran strongmen like the Three Ninjas, Scorpion of the Red Sand, and Uchiha Itachi can suppress with a basic value of around 70.

Ninjutsu: Wind Style: Rasenshuriken (S-rank), Multiple Shadow Clone Technique (A-rank), Psychic Summoning Technique (B-rank), Sage Mode (? rank)...

According to Menma, "The eight numerals of a ninja are like the basic attributes of a character in a game, and the ninjutsu a ninja masters is the skill list of this character."

This "skill list" is the actual combat difference between Asuma and Naruko.

While maintaining her sanity, she was able to barely control the Four-Tails Chakra Mode and release the Tailed Beast Ball.

Asuma Sarutobi's basic stats are 64, but he really has no outstanding moves or abilities.

Even if Asuma faces a ninja with the same stats but possessing powerful ninjutsu and strange abilities, he will definitely be defeated.

There is no doubt that Naruko has reached that threshold and possesses the strength to rival the current Five Kage.

On this day in early March, Tsunade summoned Team Kakashi.

Tsunade frowned, clasped her hands on the table and lowered her chin.

"The Water Kingdom has started a war."

Shizune explained, "It's like this. The Water Country, which had been preparing for war for a long time, took advantage of the Hiruko incident a few days ago to launch a military operation and occupied the Sea Country and its surrounding island countries."

"So fast?" Naruko asked doubtfully.

"But we have to deal with the rebels in the south and guard against other countries. Can we spare some troops?"

Kakashi expressed his concerns.

Tsunade understood and added, "We have signed a truce with the rebels in the south."

"The Thunder Nation was severely damaged by the war three years ago and is still in turmoil. They are already exhausted just from suppressing the rebel forces."

"The same must be true for the Land of Earth."

"More importantly, this is an order from the daimyo."

Kakashi murmured, "Another daimyo?"

I wonder what he is thinking with that deep gaze.

Sakura asked, "Master, are we the only ones going?"

"Well, you guys go and join up with the advance troops first."

Tsunade nodded.

At this time, Shizune once again took on the role of commentator.

"According to the intelligence from the frontline reconnaissance team, Kirigakure seems to have received assistance from a mysterious force. Not only ninjas and samurai are participating in the battle, but there are also other guys with mysterious powers."

Mysterious force? Mysterious power? Kakashi and others were puzzled.

"So, you have to be careful."

"The detailed information will be explained to you when we get there."

This happened many days ago. It was a negotiation between the mysterious empire and the Water Kingdom.

General Esdeath placed the document on the table and said in a proud yet polite and elegant tone: "This is the decision of our president. Our country will sign an alliance treaty with your country."

After reading it, Mei Terumi frowned.

"That's impossible. The conditions are too harsh."

Because the content of the treaty is indeed very excessive, on the surface...

Open markets, open mineral resources, open territorial waters, open troops...

These are all equal.

In fact, the backward Water Country can only be unilaterally dumped by the Empire's numerous industrial products.

"The Fire Nation is very powerful. As far as I know, your country has never defeated the Fire Nation in a war. It is simply impossible to compete with the Fire Nation."

After some hesitation, Mei Terumi finally signed the treaty.
