Naruto, this is called Kuuga, not White Zetsu

"It's okay. They are here to protect us. I have told Senior Sister Jingyin about this matter, but she is a little tired now. Let her have a good rest."

Karin nodded obediently, believing in the words of the person in front of her without a doubt.

In the room, Shizune reached out to hug someone in a daze, but there was nothing but a layer of light quilt, which made her open her eyes suddenly, and she fell back on the bed just as she was about to stand up.

I felt a soreness all over my body, and my legs seemed to have lost feeling, numb and heavy.

"Chihiro? Junior brother?"

"What's wrong, senior sister?"

Seto Chihiro pushed the door open and turned on the light in the room.

"..."

Shizune looked at Seto Chihiro's concerned eyes and her eyes couldn't help but dim a little. How nice it would be if the little junior brother was about the same age as her?

There is always a time to wake up from a dream.

"Senior sister? Senior sister?"

"Ah, nothing. I woke up and found that you were gone. I was just wondering where you went."

"I was awake for less than a minute and you were already awake."

"Ah, so that's why. No wonder my legs are still so numb."

Seeing that the other person's originally pink lips had become a little chapped while he was talking, Seto Chihiro didn't think twice, picked up the cup on the table and walked out.

"Senior sister, if your legs are numb, lie down for a while. I'll get you a glass of water."

"Ok."

Jingyin's eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She thought to herself that no matter what, he is my junior brother, and this will not change.

Just when Shizune was feeling extremely happy, she accidentally saw Karin looking at her seriously, as if she had seen a formidable opponent.

"Karin, there are snacks on the table."

"I don't eat snacks, Sister Shizune, I want to learn massage from you, is that okay?"

"Eh?"

"Please teach me how to massage."

Chapter 74: The Fifth Hokage (8000 in words, please give me a monthly ticket)

The ninja village protects the daimyo and the country where it is located, and the daimyo must give the ninja village legal status and sufficient funds to provide support for the development of the ninja village, and give the ninja village the power to declare war to the outside world.

For the daimyo, it is not important who the next Hokage is. The most important thing is that the next Hokage can continue to maintain their rights and interests when ruling.

At the same time, it would be best if the next Hokage was someone he knew before.

Therefore, Tsunade spent a total of three days in the Daimyo's mansion, and she arrived at the Daimyo's mansion in less than a day. On the second day, she went to handle the procedures for the Fifth Hokage to take office. However, the Daimyo knew that after she took office as Hokage, Konoha's funding doubled, so she had to stay in the Daimyo's mansion for two more days and prescribed some medicine for the Daimyo.

After all, the other party gave too much. It would be impossible for Konoha to rely solely on commissioned tasks to maintain daily expenses.

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, after treating the last noble, Tsunade took the three old men and hurriedly got on a carriage, heading towards Konoha.

Time flies, and the moonlight covers the land of the Fire Kingdom.

Some people have already experienced life and death, some people have taken the initiative to shoulder the burden, but for Sarutobi Hiruzen, he once again threw away this responsibility that should not have belonged to him.

He looked out the window. The road before him was the fourth time he had walked on this road in his life, twice for himself, once for Minato, and once for Tsunade.

Now he is almost 60 years old, his grandson is almost two years old, and Asuma has also found the jade that he should protect as a ninja. He only needs to stay in the Sarutobi clan, teach Konohamaru well, and then visit Naruto when he has time.

When he thought of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt very relaxed, and his eyes narrowed, as if he saw a happy and complete family scene.

As for all matters concerning Konoha, just leave it to Tsunade. As for whether this disciple will consult him on some issues at that time...

It doesn't matter, at least when he handed Konoha over to Tsunade, Konoha was still intact.

How could there be any problem in a perfectly intact village?

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En can still stay in this position for a long time. The vice-captain of the Anbu is a senior ninja of the Sarutobi clan. Danzo is in better health than him. The Uchiha problem has been solved. The political structure of Konoha will not undergo any other changes at least in the short term.

But having said that, I still need to discuss this with Danzo when I go back.

In the past, when Danzo asked him for funding for the Root, he never delayed and gave him as much as he asked. Even if he gave too little money sometimes, Danzo would do his best to collect information about other ninja villages, and sometimes he would bring some unexpected surprises, such as Tenzo.

Now that Tsunade is in office, the Daimyo provides more funding than before, but I believe Danzo has seen the temper of his apprentice.

It would be bad if any conflicts occurred in the village at that time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pulled up the curtain on the carriage, with a friendly expression on his face: "Tsunade, go back to the village tomorrow. The day after tomorrow will be the Hokage succession ceremony. After you go back to the village tomorrow, I will take you to get to know the various departments in the village, and familiarize you with the current operating procedures in the village, as well as the main persons in charge of each department."

Hearing this, Tsunade nodded thoughtfully.

"Although the village hasn't changed much since you left, I will still take you to learn about some special departments in person."

"..."

"Huruzen, two jonin-level chakras appeared not far ahead of us, and they are moving very fast!" The voice of Utane Koharu came from the carriage.

"Have our whereabouts been exposed?"

Mitomon En adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "But they only sent two jonin. Isn't that looking down on us?"

"Don't be careless Men Yan, I don't want to attend your funeral after attending the Fifth Hokage succession ceremony."

Under the night sky, there are stars everywhere.

A few people got off the carriage and saw a group of dark things moving towards them from a distance.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown, and when he looked down, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

As expected, Danzo still can't let go of the position of Hokage. Is he now planning to assassinate the Fifth Hokage?

But when did Aburame Ryoma become so strong? And there is not much we can do to defeat them with just two people...

Could it be the mutated bloodline limit ninja that Danzo found in the Aburame clan - Aburame Tone?

"Be careful, this is a ninjutsu unique to the Aburame clan. There may be nano-level poisonous insects mixed in this patch of insects."

Tsunade frowned in confusion, "Ninjas from the Aburame clan? Nano-level poisonous insects? Why are they here?"

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked at each other. Now that Tsunade has passed the daimyo's succession ceremony, there are some things that should be told to each other.

"This is most likely a ninja sent by Danzo. Danzo was very upset about becoming the Hokage. After Minato died and Hiruzen became the Hokage again, he sent the Wood Release Ninja Tenzo to assassinate Hiruzen."

"But because Danzo founded the Root of Konoha, and he alone bore the darkness of the village, Hiruzen did not punish him for this matter, and the matter was left unresolved. But I didn't expect that Danzo has not given up on becoming Hokage until now."

Tsunade found it unbelievable: "Wait, I remember when the old man became Hokage again, Danzo was still the assistant Hokage of Konoha!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed, drawing Tsunade's attention: "Let's put this matter aside for now, the enemy is getting closer and closer to our position."

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En didn't say anything else.

Are you kidding? Hiruzen is still around. Even if Hiruzen is not the Hokage, he may become Konoha's advisor in the future. And they don't know how the relationship between the two was restored. Even if they want to say it, they can't.

Tsunade glanced at her teacher. She really wanted to know if his heart was as calm as his current expression.

Just as she made a fighting move, the dark sea of ​​insects was getting closer and closer, and the two figures gradually became clearer. Even at a distance of hundreds of meters, one could see the teeth of one of them glowing in the moonlight, and the other's mouth was opening and closing, as if he was saying something.

"Hey! Tsunade-sama! Hokage-sama!"

Hearing the shouting coming from far away, Tsunade raised her eyebrows: "Is this...Gai's voice?"

"Yes, this is indeed Kai's voice. Only that guy would greet someone from a distance."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said that everything would be fine as long as they were not Danzo's men.

Utatane Koharu did not lower her guard because of Tsunade and Sarutobi Hiruzen's affirmation: "Be careful, the distance is so far, the opponent may have used a transformation technique."

Mitomon En also agreed with this view: "Yes, it is better to be careful before confirming the other party's identity."

Tsunade once again assumed a fighting stance, although she was very sure that this was the same Might Guy who competed with Kakashi every day, because those gleaming teeth would never lie.

However, in the ninja world, there are also some clever disguise techniques. In addition, to her, Danzo Nakamura is someone who can harm his companions for the benefit of Konoha, so it is better to be careful.

On the other side, Aburame Shiwei estimated the distance between the two, looked at the time on the clock on her hand, and when she felt the distance was about right, she turned to look at Might Guy who was shouting.

"Gai, this is the information scroll for this time. Remember to give it to Lady Tsunade first. As for Lady Hokage, I will explain it to you in person later."

Kai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and his expression suddenly became serious: "Chief Zhiwei, is this okay?"

"It's okay. Lady Tsunade is about to become the Fifth Hokage, and so many unexpected events have happened in the village. Although the Third Hokage is still strong, he will inevitably be very sad when he knows these things."

Zhiwei adjusted his glasses and said, "Before leaving, didn't Kakashi specifically tell you to let Lady Tsunade know how things had developed over the past two days? The scroll not only records everything in detail, but also contains Shikaku's speculations on the matter. It would be best if Lady Tsunade could check it out in advance."

"I see! But there are less than 4 minutes left until the next Flying Thunder God, let's hurry over!"

Kai shook his thumb twice, carried Zhiwei on his back, and the chakra on his legs suddenly burst out, creating a big gap in the insect swarm with a bang. He jumped a distance of hundreds of meters and quickly jumped to the front of the carriage in the distance.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kai who was jumping towards him and the figure on his back, and pressed his hand downwards, indicating that the others did not need to be on guard anymore.

Although the group of four were no longer on alert, their brows unconsciously frowned.

They were almost reaching Konoha, but the Jonin of Konoha appeared before their eyes. It was hard to believe that he wasn't here because something went wrong in Konoha.

"Kai, Aburame Matriarch, why are you here?"

"Hokage-sama, something happened in the village..."

Might Guy stopped in his tracks when he heard the Hokage calling him, but when he saw the Aburame clan leader nearby already explaining what happened, the blue beast of Konoha immediately walked up to Tsunade.

"Lady Tsunade, this is Konoha's latest intelligence, please take a look."

Tsunade looked at the thick scroll in front of her, her brows locked involuntarily: "Kai, I haven't officially become Hokage yet, and the old man hasn't abdicated yet! This is against the rules!"

Gai looked at Aburame Shiwei, who took a few steps back in the direction of Tsunade and Gai, chakra suddenly surging from his body.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt something was wrong when he saw the rising chakra, but the next second, silver spots quickly rose from the ground, the wings of the parasites sparkled in the moonlight, and the ground beneath his feet were all turned into parasites of the Aburame clan.

Under the moonlight, the other five people were stunned by the scene before them. The two Hokage assistants who were trapped in the sea of ​​insects had already taken out their weapons. Might Guy glared at Aburame Shiwei, and Tsunade looked at the scroll in his hand vigilantly.

Mitomon En's eyes widened, and he asked, "Aburame Shiwei, did Danzo ask you to do this? What benefit did he give you to make you attack the Hokage?"

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, and the other two advisors, this matter has nothing to do with Danzo. This is the final result of the discussion between Kakashi and Shikaku before they left. I will not let you leave here until I am sure that you are controlled by Danzo's Kotoamatsukami."

"Kai, don't get excited. Your primary goal now is to protect the Fifth Hokage. Kakashi will explain the specific situation to you in due time. As one of the Konoha ninja clans, I will never betray Konoha."

Aburame Shiwei pulled out a few kunai from her body and threw them on the ground.

Kai looked at the mark of the kunai on the ground and quickly took out the Flying Thunder God Seal that Kakashi gave him before he left. After comparing them, the two could not be said to be exactly the same, but they could be said to be exactly the same.

"Controlled by Danzo's Kotoamatsukami? What kind of ninjutsu is Kotoamatsukami?" Utane Koharu was very puzzled, and the wrinkles on her face deepened a little bit: "Huruzen, do you know what Kotoamatsukami he is talking about?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned sideways, his hat brim slightly lowered, making it impossible to read his expression: "Could it be that Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan is in Danzo's hands?"

"Well, it seems that Lord Hokage does know the ninjutsu of Kotoamatsukami." Aburame Shiwei sighed.

The swarm of insects did not relax because of his sigh, but became even more dense than before.

"Lady Tsunade may be very confused now, but I hope you can read the information on the scroll. As for the more detailed parts, you will know when you return to the village. As for the doubts of the two Hokage assistants, I will also tell you everything."

Tsunade used chakra to detect the scroll in front of her, and after confirming that there was no hidden weapon, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She was very afraid that this scroll would be like the death list during World War II, with Seto Chihiro's name on it.

She opened the scroll and looked at the words on the label. Her eyes gradually widened and her expression became stunned.

Chihiro told Shisui that her Mangekyō was taken away after she found out from the Uchiha clan.

And now, Danzo started a rebellion, and several people who participated in the battle heard with their own ears that Danzo's right eye was taken from Shisui's eye.

"Danzo secretly conducted human experiments. On his right arm, he has the Senju clan's bloodline limit and ten Uchiha clan's Sharingan. His right eye is the Mangekyō Sharingan of Uchiha Shisui, a ninja who died two years ago. He has the ability to modify the will of others without being discovered by others. He even colluded with Orochimaru this morning and launched an attack on Konoha, killing nearly 50 jonin and making jonin unable to perform missions for two months."

"Kakashi was trying to buy time for Master Jiraiya's Sage Mode, but was stabbed through the abdomen by a Root Ninja. His life was not seriously affected before he passed away."

"There are speculations about the specific reasons why Shimura Danzo colluded with Orochimaru, but it has not been confirmed. Because this matter is full of doubts, the village needs a Hokage to appear quickly. Only under the watchful eyes of the Hokage can Danzo's brain be examined."

"Fortunately, in this battle, Seto Chihiro used the Nine-Tails' chakra to defeat Kinkaku, Ginkaku, Fukai, and Shimura Danzo one after another. They were sealed in the red gourd by him and handed over to him to guard."

"At the same time, a laboratory was discovered underground at the Root base. It contained a number of medical instruments, but Lord Jiraiya and Lord Shikaku did not reveal the specific details of the laboratory."

"This is what happened today, but these things involved the genocide of the Uchiha clan and the Nine-Tails Night incident, so Kakashi, Shikaku, and Jiraiya secretly discussed and asked me to find Tsunade-sama and return to the village to become Hokage. As for controlling the three of you, it was also the result of the discussion between Jiraiya, Shikaku, and Kakashi."

"I am deeply sorry for having controlled you all, but these things have shaken the foundation of Konoha. If you have offended me, I and the other three will personally come to apologize afterwards."

After hearing what Aburame Zhiwei said, the three people in the sea of ​​insects felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Danzo has wanted to become Hokage for a long time. He had already shocked people by sending someone to assassinate the Hokage before. Now it was suddenly revealed that Danzo colluded with Orochimaru in order to become Hokage, which not only caused heavy damage to Konoha, but also exposed the Night of the Nine-Tails and the Uchiha clan genocide.

Although the relationship between Uchiha and Konoha has been hostile in recent years, they have indeed received many reports from civilians saying that the Nine-Tails Night was caused by the Uchiha clan and that the Uchiha clan wanted to destroy Konoha.
