Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

"Lord Sosuke, if that's the case..." Guangjun couldn't help but wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Muyue, and he didn't finish his words.

"But my identity as the new leader of the Rain Village will not be announced to the outside world." Mu Yue continued.

"Choose a ninja to act as the leader in public to confuse other forces. In addition, the relationship between Rain Village and the Ninja Clan will not change for the time being."

"What do you think?"

This is a compromise.

The most stable approach would definitely be to release false information and create the illusion that Hanzo is not dead.

In this way, in the eyes of other ninja forces, the Rain Country not only has the ruthless Sosuke, but also the demigod Hanzo, which is equivalent to having one more top-level strongman in the void.

Hanzo's reputation did suffer after being defeated by Sosuke, but that doesn't mean that other ninjas will underestimate Hanzo's strength.

Hanzo had no other defeats except being defeated by Sosuke.

Stability is indeed important, but Mu Yue feels that the emotions of subordinates should also be taken seriously.

He is the airborne leader of the Rain Ninjas, and it is also a very important job to make these old subordinates of Hanzo identify with him.

"Lord Sosuke's idea is better than mine. Although it lacks the deterrence of Lord Hanzo, it will also make the surrounding big ninja villages feel more at ease." Mitsutoshi praised.

He was very happy and felt that Hanzo's efforts were not in vain.

It is not yet known whether Sosuke can lead the Rain Country to complete Hanzo's unfinished goal.

But Sosuke did not disappoint. Even after defeating Hanzo and becoming the leader of the Rain Ninja, he still had enough respect for Hanzo and did not just look at benefits.

"You have a good idea." Zhusuke also briefly expressed his agreement.

When Inosuke first heard Sosuke mention Hanzo's funeral, he was actually a little angry.

Because he felt that there was no need to discuss this, and a grand funeral would be enough. Sosuke must have some bad intention in bringing this up.

Now Inosuke felt a little guilty, thinking that he had wronged Sosuke and that he had not thought enough.

The Rain Ninjas all agreed, and no one raised any objections.

If Mu Yue's system could display everyone's favorability, Mu Yue felt that Yu Ren should be giving him a crazy plus one right now.

In addition to Hanzo's funeral, Mu Yue also mentioned the issue of the Ninja Clan.

There is no need for the Rain Village and the Ninja Clan to merge immediately, but deepening communication is necessary.

Mu Yue's idea is to let the ninjas of Rain Village go to the Ninja Sect to study, and the ninjas of the Ninja Sect come to Rain Village to carry out missions, so that they can have a clearer understanding of each other and strengthen the sense of identity of both parties.

After Mu Yue finished dealing with the affairs of Rain Village, he opened the system panel.

Danzo Shimura, the high-ranking official of Konoha, was indeed a powerful figure. After Danzo Shimura's death, the life missions of Obito and Shisui changed a bit.

Among them, Shisui's progress was the most obvious, directly exceeding the node of a task settlement.

Mu Yue could only say that Danzo Shimura was worthy of being the blame-buster, as his death had caused quite a lot of changes.

Chapter 616 Reaping Rewards

[Name: Uchiha Shisui]

[Life Mission: Uchiha and Konoha]

[Main goal: eliminate the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha and allow Uchiha to integrate into Konoha]

[Task progress: 46.8%]

The death of Danzo Shimura directly made Shisui's life mission progress the highest among all disciples. Not only did he reach a settlement node, but he was not far from the next settlement.

However, when Mu Yue thought about what Shimura Danzo did in the original work, she felt it was very reasonable.

Even before his death, Danzo Shimura had to warn him to be careful with the Uchiha, reminding him that the Uchiha were inherently evil, which shows his attitude towards the Uchiha.

Mu Yue looked at the settlement reward that popped up.

[Disciple Uchiha Shisui's strength has been improved, and he has promoted the reform of the police force. He has taken a small step towards eliminating the contradictions between Uchiha and Konoha, and has obtained progress rewards - Chakra +1600, optional extraction of scroll fragments·S+ (Mastery level), Yin attribute ninjutsu mastery scroll]

The rewards are almost the same as those for other disciples when the 40% is settled. Except for the different attributes of the Ninjutsu Mastery Scroll, other rewards are exactly the same.

But the embarrassing thing is that last time three disciples just happened to collect the three fragments, but this time only Shisui is left to settle the account, so the fragments are temporarily useless.

Mu Yue closed the reward information and clicked on Obito's life mission.

[Name: Uchiha Obito]

[Mission in life: It is not the person who becomes Hokage who can be recognized by everyone, but the person who is recognized by everyone who can become Hokage]

[Main goal: Become the Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village]

[Task progress: 44.5%]

Obito's life mission progress is not as exaggerated as Shisui's, but it is still okay. After all, the life mission is difficult, and it is not easy to increase the progress.

……

After receiving the notification from Nagato, Yahiko hurriedly arrived at the Rain Village.

"Did something happen? Why did you suddenly call me over?" Yahiko was a little confused.

As the matter was rather complicated, Nagato did not explain the reason when he contacted the Ninja Clan, but simply asked Yahiko to come as soon as possible.

But looking at the peaceful Rain Village, Yahiko felt that it should not be a big deal.

Upon learning that Yahiko had arrived, Nagato activated his perception and quickly found Yahiko.

"Nagato, where is Sensei Sosuke? Why did you suddenly ask me to come here?" Yahiko asked when he saw that Nagato was the only one there.

"Teacher is dealing with the affairs of Rain Village." Nagato replied.

Yahiko looked at Nagato in some confusion. Wasn't he invited to watch the Chunin Exam? Why was he also helping to deal with the affairs of the Rain Village? Wasn't the Rain Village so busy that even they couldn't handle it themselves?

Nagato didn't waste any words. He took Yahiko to a deserted place and explained: "Hanzo is dead. Now Sosuke-sensei is the real leader of the Rain Village."

Yahiko was stunned and looked at Nagato with a confused face.

How come things are getting more and more outrageous? Nagato and Sosuke have only been on the move for a short time and they have already taken over the entire Rain Village.

Moreover, he didn't think that the Rain Village seemed to have experienced a coup d'etat and looked quite peaceful.

"In fact, this invitation is a conspiracy, a conspiracy of Danzo Shimura..." Nagato began to explain the whole story to Yahiko in detail.

"I see. No wonder Sosuke-sensei only brought you with him." Yahiko sighed.

In this dangerous situation, not only would you not be able to help Sosuke if you don't have enough strength, you would also become a burden to him.

"Yahiko, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have advised you that night and made you miss the last chance to meet Hanzo." Nagato said with a guilty look on his face.

They estimated that this trip to the Rain Village would be risky, but in fact Mu Yue easily dealt with the enemy.

If we bring one more Yahiko, there is no need for Mu Yue to take action, Nagato can protect Yahiko by himself.

"It's okay. After all, you are thinking about my safety. There is no need to apologize." Yahiko said with a smile and shook his head.

"Besides, now I have the answer in my heart."

It was a pity that he was unable to communicate with Hanzo, but after learning the reason for Hanzo's death and Sosuke becoming the leader of the Rain Ninja, Yahiko's previous doubts were resolved.

"At least, at the last moment, he was truly the demigod Hanzo of the Rain Country." Yahiko showed a relieved expression.

Hanzo is not a person who always puts the peace of the Rain Country first. He has been shaken and had selfish motives.

However, the choices made by Hanzo in his life made Yahiko feel that he was worthy of the title of demigod, and his previous admiration for Hanzo was not misplaced.

Nagato showed an expression of approval. This time, his opinion of Hanzo had indeed changed a lot.

Then Nagato took Yahiko to see Hanzo's portrait.

Yahiko felt that Hanzo did not seem to have died in battle, but rather died of old age.

Because Hanzo's expression didn't show any resentment or hatred, but instead looked somewhat relaxed and happy?

After learning that the Ninja Clan and the Rain Village wanted to deepen their exchanges, Yahiko decisively signed up with Sosuke.

Now that peace has been restored in the Land of Rain, the next focus is to strengthen its strength. He wants to let more Rain Ninjas understand the true Ninja Sect by working in the Rain Village.

……

The land of fire, Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was processing documents when he suddenly felt a dry mouth.

He continued to stare at the document, put down the pen with his right hand, and reached for the teacup on the office.

Wow!

I don't know what happened, but Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't hold the teacup firmly, and it fell to the ground and broke, and the tea spilled all over the floor.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the documents, took a deep breath, and touched his heart.

"I haven't been working too hard recently, so why did this happen suddenly?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked puzzled. Just a moment ago, he felt a palpitation in his heart.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and asked the Anbu at the door to come in to clean up the debris and mop the floor.

Losing a teacup was a small matter for Sarutobi Hiruzen, and it was not a precious antique.

The real reason that made Sarutobi Hiruzen unhappy was that he suddenly realized that he was no longer young and could not even hold a teacup steadily.

Back in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window that gave him a panoramic view of Konoha and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Every one of them is so worrying. How can I really have peace of mind in my old age?"

From the time he was appointed as the Hokage in a critical moment to now, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been a little tired.

If there is a suitable candidate, once the ninja world becomes more stable, Sarutobi Hiruzen will pass on the position of Hokage without hesitation.

He has been at the top for long enough and does not have much attachment to this power.

Rather than working hard for Konoha all day, Sarutobi Hiruzen longed for a life of retirement at home where he could go fishing when he had free time and help raise and educate his grandchildren when he had nothing else to do.

Maybe he could even rejuvenate his teaching career and raise his grandson to be an outstanding ninja like Mu Yue.

The next night.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard someone calling his name, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar to him.

"Get up quickly, old man. Teacher Mu Yue is calling you." Asuma said as he pushed open Sarutobi Hiruzen's door.

He also heard the voice outside the house and instantly recognized that it was Mu Yue.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly dressed and walked out of the bedroom. It must be no small matter that Mu Yue suddenly came to see him at this time.

Asuma wanted to follow, but was ruthlessly chased back by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Go to bed!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously.

If he didn't think Mu Yue had something urgent to do, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have scolded Asuma for his disrespectful attitude just now.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go." Asuma said unhappily and turned back to his bedroom.

It’s not that he was afraid of Sarutobi Hiruzen, but because Mu Yue didn’t call him. If Mu Yue called his name, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not listen even if he stopped her.

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out of the house quickly and saw Mu Yue with a sad look on his face in the yard.

Seeing Mu Yue's expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong.

In his impression, Mu Yue has always been an optimistic and strong person. It is definitely not a trivial matter to make Mu Yue show such an expression.

"Mu Yue, are you okay?" Sarutobi Hiruzen first asked about Mu Yue's condition, and then continued:

"Something happened. It's okay to take some more time off from the Observation Haki course. There's no rush."

Sarutobi Hiruzen attaches great importance to the training of Observation Haki, but compared to Mu Yue herself, a training program is obviously insignificant.

"Thank you for your concern, Sandaime-sama. I'm fine." Mu Yue shook her head and replied, her eyes reddened. "It was Danzo-sama. He, he...sacrificed..."

After saying that, Mu Yue lowered her head slightly, her face full of pain.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Mu Yue in disbelief, his oppressive eyes fixed on Mu Yue, "You said Danzo was sacrificed?"

They were drinking and chatting a few days ago, and then suddenly he was told that Danzo Shimura was dead. How could Sarutobi Hiruzen believe it?

If it was a battlefield, it would be normal for the friend who drank and ate meat with him yesterday to die today, but he did not send Danzo Shimura to the battlefield.

In Konoha, who has the ability to kill a Konoha high-ranking official silently.
