From Hokage to Visionary

"I came back this time precisely because of this matter."

Hatake Sakumo had a blank expression on his face, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "I have discovered that there is a mysterious organization that is secretly influencing the entire ninja world!"

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows and said half-jokingly: "The organization you are talking about, could it be us?"

After all, to some extent, hasn't the mysterious Mr. 'Adam' been secretly influencing the course of history and the future?

"No, it's another one."

Hatake Sasun said in a low voice: "Their name is. 'Shell'!"

Chapter 147 Are you awake? The four major ninja villages have declared war on us!

Rumble!

Thick dark clouds were rolling, and from time to time lightning as thick as a python would break through the clouds and illuminate the sky.

The rain hit the ground, making a dull drum sound.

Every drop of rain hit the ground heavily, as if expressing silent anger. The dense rainstorm stirred up streams of water on the ground, washing away the muddy ruins after the war.

Rui. No, to be precise, it should be the Fourth Raikage 'Ai', who is still kneeling beside his father, the Third Raikage who was cut in half and died.

He said nothing, anger brewing in his eyes, as if he was waiting for something.

Finally, dozens of figures appeared in the ruins at the end of the sight, and after sensing it, Silent Ai slowly raised his head with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Bee came back with a heavy heart and a face full of shame.

Returning with him were a dozen of the village's top elite jonin who had followed him in pursuit of the murderer of the Raikage.

"Bi, how did it turn out?"

Ai's voice was unusually hoarse, like a sharp stone scratching against a smooth surface.

Looking at his brother's expectant eyes, Bi's face turned pale, his lips moved weakly, and he finally lowered his head guiltily: "I'm sorry, brother."

What greeted him was not the blame he had imagined, nor was there anger or loss of control.

There was only deathly silence.

In the ruins, beside the body of the Third Raikage, there was only the dull sound of raindrops hitting the ground.

After a moment, Ai slowly stood up from the ground, expressionless: "Failed? What are the specific details?"

The momentum is completely different, it's a world of difference from before!

As the "Bi" in the group "Abby", he could clearly feel at this moment that his big brother was different, as if he had grown up a lot in an instant.

"We chased that guy all the way out of the village, and then..." At this point, Bi suddenly paused, as if he was thinking about the words in his mind, and said: "He disappeared, without any signs or traces, just like he evaporated from the face of the earth, disappeared in an instant!"

"Is it the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Ai frowned. This was the only possibility he could think of.

"Reporting to Lord Raikage, there is no trace of chakra left."

Another perception ninja continued, "Based on this analysis alone, that guy didn't use any ninjutsu, he just disappeared directly."

Disappeared suddenly.

There were no signs and no chakra left.

Theoretically, it is completely impossible to happen, but such a strange phenomenon actually happened!

"Lord Raikage, do you need us to continue searching?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, someone suggested: "We can block the border. Since it's not Flying Thunder God, that guy must still be in the Land of Lightning. As long as we increase our manpower, we will definitely be able to find his trace!"

Ai secretly clenched his fists, with a hint of madness in his eyes: "Whether we can find it or not, Konoha is the key!"

"Brother."

Hearing this, Bee immediately had a bad feeling and looked up in astonishment: "But the previous Raikage said that now is not the time for us to join the war."

"Now, I am the Raikage!"

Ai's face was twisted, as if he was crazy, and he looked towards Konoha with eyes full of anger and resentment: "I want to crush Konoha completely!"

Big Brother

Bi's pupils sank slightly, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong with his elder brother.

Although everyone knew it was wrong, no one objected to this order, and many even agreed with it.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After escaping from the pursuit of the Hidden Cloud Village, Uchiha Sogetsu finally had some free time.

Anyway, I had basically finished what I needed to do, so there was no need to rush back, so I sat on the rock and rested for a while.

But at this moment, a line of blood suddenly flowed from his right eye.

Tick ​​tick

Bright red blood splashed on the ground like blooming petals.

"Are the side effects appearing so soon?"

After noticing that the vision of his right eye had obviously declined a lot, Uchiha Sogetsu frowned slightly: "After only using it three times, such serious side effects appeared. As expected. Although this ability is very powerful, it also contains great risks. It seems that after this time, I have to go find White Zetsu."

The first time was to analyze the Tailed Beast Ball.

As for the second and third times, he used them in this battle, analyzing Raiden's chakra pattern and Hell Thrust: One-Point Hand respectively.

Because of this, he was able to directly 'learn' and 'understand' the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Ippon Kante, the core mechanisms of the two major ninjutsu, at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to understand. At the same time, he directly created the Infinite Flash and Vertical Guillotine in just a few minutes.

But fortunately, he has White Zetsu, the infinite charger of the first generation cells.

Just as he was thinking, he saw many ninjas emerging from the valley in the distance, and they seemed to be conducting a carpet search, as if they would not give up until they found him.

"Oh, you still don't give up?"

Uchiha Munetsuki shook his head helplessly and immediately stood up: "Forget it, let's not get entangled with them and go back early."

One after another, the Cloud Ninjas ran past him with gnashing teeth and angry faces.

However, not even a single Cloud Ninja noticed the person sitting on the rock.

Psychological invisibility. With the help of the target's mental grasp and psychological blind spots, put yourself in a 'blind spot of consciousness'.

Even though it is right in front of you, the other party cannot see it at all, let alone sense it, achieving a near-invisibility effect.

Of course, this trick also has flaws.

But once you interact with the surrounding scenery, you will inevitably expose your body.

"Next, it's time to focus on digesting the 'potion'."

Uchiha Sogetsu walked quietly, like a ghost, under the noses of those Cloud Ninjas.

The tide of war has begun, and he must digest the Sequence 5 potion completely before 'that point', so as to prepare for the promotion ceremony - Sequence : Manipulator!

Konoha Village.

Unlike the peaceful scenes of the past, the village was filled with a tense atmosphere.

The Hokage, who has not been seen for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, rarely appeared in battle, wearing a complete set of ninja armor and looking serious.

No matter they were jonin, chunin, genin, or even apprentice ninjas still in the ninja school, they all gathered in the square at this moment, their expressions were either nervous, serious, or fearful, staring at the Hokage standing on the high platform. Thousands of people were silent, and the air was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

"Konoha is about to go to war with the Hidden Mist Village!"

The Hokage glanced at the ninjas below and said straight to the point: "The Hidden Mist Village has sent a large number of ninjas, and they are approaching us. This battle is inevitable!"

Although most people had already known, more or less, that the war was about to begin.

But at this moment, when it came out of the Hokage's mouth and was truly confirmed, it still made many people excited and the crowd was boiling for a while.

"I order this in the name of the Third Hokage of Konoha!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was loud and clear, instantly drowning out the noise of the crowd, and accompanied by a strong chakra sweeping across: "Konoha, officially declares war on the Hidden Mist Village!"

Just then, an Anbu quietly came up to him and whispered in his ear.

"What did you say?!"

The Hokage's eyes suddenly widened, a look of horror on his face.

The loudness of his voice and the changes in his facial expressions could not be hidden from the thousands of people below.

"Calm down, Hiruzen!" Seeing him lose his composure, the two members of the advisory group immediately jumped out and angrily scolded him, "As a Hokage, you should remain calm no matter what the situation. It's really out of control to let everyone see you like this. Hiruzen, you need to reflect on yourself!"

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen remained stunned, his pupils trembling, and he looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

"What happened? Hiruzen."

Utane Koharu seemed to notice something was wrong, walked up and patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't it just the Hidden Mist Village? So what if we start a war? When has Konoha ever been afraid of war?!"

"No, not the Hidden Mist Village, Koharu."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head stiffly, staring at Utatane Koharu with lifeless eyes, his lips trembling and his face pale: "I just got the news. In addition to the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Rock Village, the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Hidden Sand Village have also sent a large number of ninjas to approach Konoha. They have declared war on us!"

Bang!

The cane hit the ground heavily, making a dull sound.

The Hokage advisor, Utatane Koharu's pupils shrank, and a look of deep fear appeared on her face: "What did you say?!"

Two chapters today. I have to prepare New Year's goods and clean up.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 148: The long-cherished wish is finally fulfilled: 35 Hokage!

The four major ninja villages of Mist, Cloud, Sand and Rock declared war at the same time!

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was recalling in his mind whether he had committed some unforgivable sin.

Otherwise, how could Sarutobi Hiruzen have the virtue and ability to make the four major ninja villages, which were hostile to each other and had deep hatred for each other, choose to join forces to declare war on Konoha!

You must stay calm, Hokage must not panic, and even more so must not get confused!

Especially, in front of thousands of Konoha ninjas, if even he, the Hokage, panicked, it would inevitably cause unnecessary chaos!

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and repeated it several times before he managed to lower his blood pressure.

However, his increasingly rapid heartbeat and the bulging veins on his forehead made his vision gradually blurry. He suppressed the dizziness and discomfort, grabbed Koharu Utane beside him, gritted his teeth, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Koharu, Menyan. Go. Go and call Danzo!"

"Hiruzen, you have to hold on!"

Utane Koharu also realized that now was not the time to fight for power, so she hurried to call for help.

But at this moment, another Anbu appeared.

Completely ignoring the turbulent crowd below, he lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Hokage-sama, urgent news from the Hidden Cloud Village!"

Can I not listen?

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a vague feeling that this was definitely not good news.

But the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Namikaze Minato, and Uchiha Munetsuki, who were now the only high-end combat forces left in Konoha, made him very worried, so he bit the bullet and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Namikaze Minato has been successfully rescued and is on his way back to Konoha with Uzumaki Kushina." said the ANBU.

Hearing this news, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good"

This might be the only good news he had heard so far. He even felt that his blood pressure had dropped a lot, and his depressed mood suddenly became much better.

"By the way, where is Uchiha Sogetsu?" Sarutobi Hiruzen then remembered and asked.

Hearing this, the Anbu bowed their heads deeply and said in a trembling voice, "Uchiha Munetsuki killed the Third Raikage alone in the Kumogakure Village. He was killed by being cut in half and his whereabouts are unknown now."

Boom!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was struck by lightning and his brain went blank in an instant.

His blood pressure, which had just eased a little, was about to rush to his head, but he still couldn't believe it. There was a hint of doubt in his astonishment: "What did you say? Say it again?"

"Report to the Hokage."

The Anbu paused, then repeated through gritted teeth: "Uchiha Sogetsu killed the Third Raikage alone in the Hidden Cloud Village. He was killed by being beheaded, and his whereabouts are now unknown!"

"Ah, he killed the Third Raikage?"
