Build the Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 295 Itachi’s road to Hokage is open

The apprenticeship ceremony was a bit crude, but it definitely couldn't be called shabby.

Because the witnessing audience was very unusual, the Fourth Hokage invited all the prominent people in Konoha Village, especially the Uchiha family.

In addition to people from the Leaf Village, representatives of the other five major forces were also invited. This event was tantamount to a formal appearance in front of all countries.

"That's great!" Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help wiping his tears. His son was so outstanding, much better than he imagined.

Some people are happy, but others are worried, such as the two old men standing behind Asuma Sarutobi of the Sarutobi family, and the clan leader of the sleeping family.

As the powerful class of the Third Hokage, they felt the "hard life" in the era of the New Hokage. They disliked the Fourth Hokage everywhere, not to mention that their "enemy" Uchiha family was approaching the position of Hokage.

.

But in Konoha Village, there are only a few people who are dissatisfied with this matter. Most people are optimistic about the outcome, and the majority of people have an attitude of being indifferent.

The four families that really feel like they are stuck in the throat are Kumogakure, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure. The Hokage clan and the Uchiha clan have merged. This means that Konohagakure has completed the treatment of the last hidden danger and achieved the final integration.

.

This is definitely not good news for the other four families. There are no hidden dangers in the most powerful Konoha Village, which is enough to defeat one against three.

Tudai looked at the people present seriously, and couldn't help but frown. He thought: "Perhaps we should seriously consider the need for an alliance. The current Konoha Village is really not something that the Kumogakure family can deal with.

"

He looked at Tired Bird and Gigangaki Kisame, and then shook his head. The new Water Kingdom was almost entirely focused on internal liquidation and trying to eliminate Kirigakure Murakami, and it was too young to count on it.

Not to mention Kirigakure Village, although Kirigakure Village did not decline contrary to everyone's expectations. Instead, it became stronger day by day and regained its independence from the vassal of Konoha Village.

But in the final analysis, Kirigakure Village is suppressed by the Kingdom of Water. It is almost breathless. Every month, it shamelessly seeks assistance from Kumogakure Village and Konoha Village. Allying with them can only be punished by

Being dragged into a war with the Kingdom of Water, their power would not be able to compete with the Leaf Village.

Tutai looked at Loess again. The Kingdom of Earth should be a force that can be fought for. Although the grievances between the two sides are very deep, everything can be discussed in the face of interests.

It's just that Onoki is an old man, but he is also shameless. He only takes advantage and refuses to suffer losses. It will be extremely troublesome to form an alliance in the future.

Then he looked at the expressionless Ye Cang. Sand Hidden Village was a good breakthrough point. Their shadows were too young, and the whole village's personality was also impulsive and violent.

In addition, after the war, the tasks of Sunagakure Village were usurped, the daimyo did not support it, and the financial difficulties were simply unimaginable. They were all forced to embark on the so-called "elite route". No matter how nice it sounds, it is actually self-harm.

.

Dodai hesitated in his heart. Sunagakure is a very good cannon fodder, not a suitable ally. However, the strength of Kumogakure and Iwagakure is not enough to fight against the current Konoha Village. Sunagakure is really missing.

strength.

What a dilemma, Dodai looked up to the sky and sighed, what if the Third Hokage is still there, and the Konoha Village he is fighting with is the second best Konoha Village, how easy it is to deal with, and there are all kinds of blackmail, don't live a comfortable life

.

As for the best Konoha Village in Todai's mind, it is of course the Konoha Village that was wiped out and dismembered. There can never be a better situation than that.

However, it seems a bit far away now.

…

In the evening, Minato Namikaze took his new disciple home for a family dinner. When he finally sent Uchiha Itachi away, his face turned blue and he found a place to vomit not far away.

"The Fourth Hokage is really working hard..."

"Minato, what do you think, you want to accept the children of the Uchiha family as your disciples?" Kushina asked her husband what he thought while putting away the tableware.

"The most important thing is that Itachi Uchiha is mentally strong enough to assume the position of Hokage. Compared with him, Kakashi Hatake is much more naive."

Namikaze Minato put on his apron and started to help clean up. He continued: "In addition, I promised Kakashi to recruit an Uchiha as a disciple. This candidate seems to be Sasuke. I don't plan to change this.

.”

"But this child is just the most ordinary Uchiha. He has an extreme personality, pride, and childishness. He also has his father's soft-eared problem. He is really not suitable for the position of Hokage. At most, he can serve as an assistant to Hokage."

Suddenly he laughed and said softly: "Actually, Danzo Shimura's position is quite suitable for Sasuke."

"Why are you so bad? You are such a young child, but you look like that annoying old man?"

"In short, Sasuke is not suitable to be Hokage, but Uchiha has been disappointed for too many years. We should give them an explanation. If there happens to be a suitable candidate, then give them this opportunity in advance."

"Minato, if you arrange this, Kakashi will be very disappointed."

"There will definitely be a little bit, but Kakashi... makes me very disappointed. Ever since Obito died, he has been unable to reach his own soul. He seems to have gotten better recently, but it's not enough. It's far from enough.

.”

"A ninja who cannot put the interests of Konoha Village first is not suitable for the position of Hokage."

"Humph, it's like you are qualified for this item. It's inappropriate for you to use this standard."

"Hahaha, yes, it's really inappropriate to say that. In short, the addition of Uchiha Itachi can give an explanation to the Uchiha family, stimulate Kakashi, and finally have a suitable candidate for the Fifth Hokage. I don't have it.

There’s no reason not to do that.”

Uzumaki Kushina gave a rare nod and said: "Little Itachi is indeed Mikoto's child. He is well-educated. He also likes the food I cook."

"..." Namikaze Minato glanced at his wife and didn't dare to say anything.

In the past six years, Uzumaki Kushina's cooking skills cannot be said to have improved, and it is true that she can't eat people to death, but it definitely has nothing to do with delicious food.

The most terrible thing is that my wife is a big eater, the eldest son of the family is a big eater, and now the youngest daughter is also a big eater. Kushina's perception of food intake is skewed.

Itachi Uchiha wasn't defeated by the unpalatable food, he was defeated by the bowl that was bigger than the basin he used to wash his face.

"Alright, Naruto, take your sister to read a storybook while your mother boils the bath water."

"Okay, Mom." Naruto agreed loudly, "Hailai, come to brother quickly. Brother will take you to read story books."

"No~, I want Menma geigei to read to me~"

"bother!"

"Uzumaki-Uzumaki-men-ma!!"

"I'm going right now! Mom!"

"Both of them don't make you worry-free! Humph!"

When Uzumaki Kushina showed off her feminine power, Namikaze Minato could only laugh. This was actually his dream life.

However, Namikaze Minato is the Hokage after all, the leader of a village and the top military leader of a country. His family life is destined to be short-lived.

Namikaze Minato's cleaning speed suddenly became very fast. The moment he put the broom and dustpan away, an ANBU ninja appeared in the living room.

Namikaze Minato asked calmly: "What happened?"

"Lord Hokage, there is an emergency that the jounin at the front cannot handle."

"Well, alas~~" Namikaze Minato sighed softly, and said, "I understand, thank you for your hard work."

"I'll be there right away, you go back first."

"yes!"

Namikaze Minato and his wife explained the matter in a low voice, and then Kushina found his haori and asked him to put it on before letting him go.

Namikaze Minato walked to the gate and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique, arriving at the Hokage's office in an instant. He sat down in his seat and started to deal with the piled up documents.

While reviewing the documents, Minato ordered: "Let's start introducing the situation."

Nara Shikaku said: "According to the intelligence from the front, around two o'clock this afternoon, a terrifying pillar of light suddenly erupted in a valley at the junction of the three countries of the Wind Country, the Bear Country, and the River Country!"

The pen in Minato's hand paused for a moment, then he continued to review, frowning and asked: "Terrifying? How large is it?"

"Intelligence descriptions say that the beam of light was tens of kilometers wide and incalculably high. It even directly destroyed thunderclouds that were raining hail."

"Oh? This is serious. Have the ninjas gone to investigate on the spot?"

"Sorry, this is the problem that must alarm you. Our ninjas are not able to get close yet."

Namikaze Minato did not pause in his marking movements, but instead sped up. He asked, "Who has passed?"

"The Blue Stone Jounin and the Aburame Jounin."

"Aburame Zhiwei?"

"No, it's Aburame Shikei Jounin."

Namikaze Minato stopped writing, because all the newly accumulated documents had been reviewed, and he said: "Shikaku, call the two jounin for me, I want to know the details."

"yes!"

Seeing Nara Shikaku dialing, Namikaze Minato smiled and said: "The Aburame Jounin is really good at making this phone snail. If it were a Swift Eagle, it would probably take a day for this information to be sent back."

After the call was successful, Namikaze Minato realized that it was not only a huge light beam that appeared that afternoon, but also an earthquake and a loud noise.

After the ninjas on the Konoha border noticed it, they went to investigate and determined that the location of the incident was a valley surrounded by mountains. According to the map, the area was about twenty or thirty kilometers in diameter.

Since the location was separated from the Land of Fire by the Kingdom of Sichuan, there was no other movement when they arrived, and there was only a huge barrier covering the entire valley.

Since they could not break the barrier, they called Aoishi Jounin, who was in charge of border affairs, and Aburame Shigetsu, the intelligence chief.

Qingshi Jōnin finally concluded: "But currently Aburame Jōnin and I are unable to break through the barrier. I hope the village can send more powerful ninjas, preferably from the barrier class."

Minato stroked the stubble on his chin and asked, "I understand the general situation. Have you met ninjas from other villages?"

"Yes, the ninjas from Sunagakure Village were the first to arrive. According to them, they heard the sound of fighting when they first arrived. It was a very terrifying explosion. They also saw huge explosion smoke, which was at least several hundred meters high.

.”

"The other ones are the ninjas from Iwagakure Village. They came a little later than us and they don't know much more than we do."

Namikaze Minato finally said: "I understand, I will dispatch ninjas to deal with it, and you will be on the spot for the time being."

"yes!"

After turning off the phone, Namikaze Minato arranged for the ANBU to issue an order, and asked three jonins, Hyuga Hizashi, Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shimi, to form a temporary team to handle this matter.

Just in case, Minato asked them to rush over with his Sword of Ninja Love, and then he sighed to Nara Shikaku: "What a troubled time, which secret organization can do this?"

Nara Shikaku shook his head, confused and without any clue.

Sealing technique is not a popular product, it requires a long time of learning and practice, which requires a huge cost of money and time. This is the reason why the six major forces can cultivate ninjas in the sealing class.

But the unsealing technique is another matter. The relatively simple unsealing technique is widely spread. It is similar to the illusion unblocking technique. It is also an important reason that forces various small forces to give up cultivating them.

As a master of sealing arts, Namikaze Minato attaches great importance to the education of sealing arts. Under his leadership, the jounin of Konoha Village basically have one or two unique skills in unlocking seals.

The barrier is a master of sealing techniques. It is more difficult to establish and less solid. Even the barrier in Konoha Village is only a warning, and it is difficult to block the attacks of Jonin.

This inexplicable barrier that is strong enough to stop Jonin appears in the wilderness. This is not suspicious, it is a clear sign that there is a problem here.

"This matter can only wait for the time being. When Aburame Shimi arrives, I can go over and take a look. There should be nothing that can stop me." Minato put on the haori again and yawned.

Said, "Have a good rest tonight, recharge your batteries, and deal with it tomorrow."

"Shikaku, you should go back quickly."

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I will go home and rest."

Namikaze Minato could go to sleep, and Onoki, who also received the intelligence, also chose to sleep and wait for more specific intelligence feedback tomorrow before making a decision.

The two of them were so calm just because the place where the incident occurred was still a country away from their own country, so naturally there was no urgency.

However, the Kazekage from Sand Hidden Village and the Hoshikage from Star Hidden Village in Bear Country were not so relaxed. They were already on their way to the location of the incident.

Especially Xingying from Xingyin Village. He saw the sky-reaching light pillar in his village and felt the terrifying earthquake. He was so frightened that he could only set off immediately.

There is no way, as a small ninja village, he also calls himself a shadow, but in every aspect it is a level lower than Kusakure Village and Aegakure Village, so it is also poorer and cannot afford enough snail phones for Hoshinin.

If you can't directly control it by remote control, you can only go forward in person.

As for the Kawa Country, they don't know anything yet. After all, there are no people in the northern part of the country. Their population and the Ninja Village are all in the southern valley, thousands of kilometers away from here, even further away than the Leaf Village.

Far.

As for Kumogakure, Kirigakure and Mizu no Kuni who have not arrived yet, there is another difference. They are too far away and they must not be able to react. And Kirigakure and Mizu no Kuni have all their energy focused on each other.

Regarding this kind of thing that is thousands of kilometers away, the Water Kingdom and Kirigakure Village cannot be said to be indifferent, they can only be said to not care at all.

It took me several days to finally finish this chapter.

It’s not easy. I feel that after I become yin, my energy is not as strong as before, and I get tired very easily.

I have finally recovered a bit in the past two days. I will try my best to do it as often as possible.
