Go to Naruto World as Dokage

Chapter 251 Four Battles

The news of Jiraiya's death in battle spread quickly, and within three days, the entire ninja world knew the news.

The death of any Kage-level is a big deal, and no ninja village is so strong that even the Kage-level is dispensable.

Along with the news of Jiraiya's death in battle, there was a lot of various information that spread throughout the shinobi world.

For example, the team-up of Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja, such as Onoki's Dust Release, but what shocked everyone in the ninja world the most was: Yi Chen. This guy who was rumored to be the Iwa Ninja Fox by the crowd who watched the excitement before, actually has

Film-level strength.

Everyone doesn’t understand, can such a person who plays tricks and intrigues also become a film-level person?

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible. Just look at Danzo in Konoha.

Thanks to Danzo, everyone accepted the fact that Yi Chen has become a Kage level, and no one has any plans to change Yi Chen's title, which directly shattered Yi Chen's expectations.

Speaking of Danzo, it can be said that Danzo is both excited and angry now.

I was excited because: the Sannin lost two people one after another, leaving only one Tsunade who suffered from hemophobia. It can be said that the old rival and good friend Sarutobi Hiruzen lost most of his power at once. At this time, he was asking the Hokage

A good time to launch an attack.

But Danzo is also angry, because now everyone in the ninja world knows that Konoha has fallen into a period of weakness again. The last period of weakness in Konoha was when the second Hokage died in the battle, but all the countries at that time were equally weak, so Sarutobi Hiruzen managed to survive

Survived the situation.

Later, with the rise of the White Fang and the birth of the Sannin, Konoha suddenly entered its heyday. The process was so fast that the top leaders of various countries did not even react.

But this time everyone in the ninja world knows that it is difficult for Konoha to have such an opportunity again. First of all, as opponents, the number of shadows in the four major countries is no longer as small as when the second Hokage died in the battle. Well, except for Kiri

Tolerate.

Now all the children in the ninja world know that the Fourth Ninja War is about to break out.

Danzo very much hopes to seize power at this time, but he also knows that if he wants to provoke an internal fight at this time, he will definitely be targeted by everyone in the village. Perhaps only Uchiha will not target him for this matter.

Although Danzo's political skills were not as good as those of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he was not stupid. If he made an attack at this time, he would only become the target of public criticism. So this time, after weighing for a long time, Danzo chose to go dormant again.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is not afraid of Danzo coming out to cause trouble. He knows his good friend's weight well. If he is soft, he will be hard. If he is hard, he will be soft. If he dares to cause trouble, he will use the authority of the Hokage to suppress it.

, I bet he won't be able to make any big noise.

But compared to Danzo, other things gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a headache.

The first is the high-end combat power of the village. When the news of Jiraiya's death came back, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even care about his sadness. He immediately sent people to find Namikaze Minato. He summoned Namikaze Minato not because he wanted Namikaze Minato to be able to do it.

Use your own power to prevent the upcoming four wars.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to ask about Uzumaki Kushina's situation. At this time, the only one who could give Sarutobi Hiruzen some confidence was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki who had just grown to adulthood.

At this time, he had already made a decision. In this battle, both the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki and himself would participate in the battle. Otherwise, Konoha's top combat power might not be able to hold up the strength of the third war.

In addition to high-end combat power, there is another thing that gives Hiruzen Sarutobi an even bigger headache, and that is the Uchiha. I won’t mention the historical disputes between the two sides. Let’s just talk about the last time Masaki caused trouble in Konoha and kidnapped an Uchiha child.

Let's do something.

At that time, Fugaku discovered that the village had arranged an ANBU to monitor their Uchiha. This matter was originally difficult to explain, but Fugaku actually let go of the person who stole their Uchiha bloodline. Afterwards, the intelligence department guessed that the person should be Yichen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had reason to suspect that Fugaku had deliberately left an escape route for Uchiha. There was a high probability that this escape route would be Iwa Ninja.

More importantly, among the people who surrounded and killed Jiraiya this time, there was this Yoshichen. This made Sarutobi Hiruzen not think too much. Could this Yoshichen have reached any agreement with the Uchiha clan?

Regarding Jiraiya's case, is there any trace of the Uchiha clan in it?

In addition to the Uchiha clan, the situation with the Hyuga clan is not very good. The Hyuga clan has complaints about the sacrifice of its former clan leader. Especially Hyuga Hizashi. After he became the Hyuga clan clan leader, his contact with the top management of Konoha was less than

His father was much less popular when he was alive.

There are also a lot fewer members of the Hyuga clan joining Konoha's regular ninja team on missions.

What makes Sarutobi Hiruzen most uncomfortable is that the ninja clan who originally supported him have not been as firm towards him in the past two years as they were before.

The reason for this is clear to Hiruzen Sarutobi. It is precisely because Danzo had reached out to these families when he was recruiting people, and Danzo selected the elite children of these families, the kind of people who are expected to become members of the family.

The genius of the patriarch.

After thinking for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to the captain of his Shadow Guard: "Go to the Country of Yu, look for traces of Tsunade, and bring Tsunade back."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know Tsunade's whereabouts, but he knew that Jiraiya died in the battle, and Tsunade would definitely go to Yu no Kuni to take a look.

The captain of the Shadow Guard responded yes and was about to leave when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen say: "Let's also get in touch with Orochimaru and see what he means."

Orochimaru defected. Thanks to Danzo, Orochimaru's crime was very strong and solid, and it was impossible for him to return to the village. But Jiraiya died in front of Orochimaru after all, and Orochimaru didn't have any mood swings.

, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t believe it.

He hoped to convince Orochimaru that in the upcoming four battles, Orochimaru could hold back one or two Kage-level people from Kumo Ninja Village or Iwa Ninja Village.

The captain of the Shadow Guard responded again and left immediately.

Not long after, Namikaze Minato arrived.

Namikaze Minato's eyes were red, and he was obviously in a bad mood, but as a little sun, he still said to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Hokage-sama, please forgive me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Namikaze Minato, and finally there was a smile on his face. At least the will of fire has not been broken, and the inheritance of the will of fire will continue in the child in front of him.

"How is Kushina? How much power of the Nine-Tails can he control?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

Namikaze Minato was stunned. He didn't expect that the first sentence Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke was this. However, he reacted quickly and immediately knew what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant and said: "Hokage, please don't worry, Kushina has grown up very well."

Very good, if the power of Nine Tails is unleashed with all its strength, even if I don't use the Thunder God, there is nothing I can do against her."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, suddenly looked at Namikaze Minato and said: "Minato, what do you think of the Uchiha clan?"

Namikaze Minato was stunned again. Every question Sarutobi Hiruzen asked today was beyond his expectation. The rhythm changed too quickly. But after hesitating for a moment, Namikaze Minato still expressed his inner thoughts: "Uchiha

There are radicals within the clan, but there are also moderates. The Uchiha clan is dissatisfied with the village, but the village is also unfair to the Uchiha clan."

After saying this, Namikaze Minato lowered his head.

A trace of disapproval flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, but he had no choice. The current situation was completely different from before. He and Danzo could no longer suppress the opposition in Uchiha. And on the eve of the war, the village again

It is impossible to take the wrong medicine and use force against the Uchiha clan.

So after a long silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Minato, maybe you are right. From tomorrow on, you will be the Fourth Hokage of the village."

This time Namikaze Minato was really stunned. He didn't understand why Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts were jumping so fast.

He raised his head and was about to refuse, but Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said: "I am unqualified as a Hokage. I have not handled the problems well either externally or internally. I have the responsibility for the Iwa ninja to be a leader, and I also have the responsibility to leave the Uchiha."

responsibility."

"When the war starts, I will go to the front line as soon as possible. Even if I risk my life, I will win the war. I will leave the village to you. Carefully coordinate the relationship between the village leaders and the Uchiha. I will also lead Danzo.

Come on, I won't cause any trouble for you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice. He didn't want to and couldn't compromise with the Uchiha clan, so he could only place his hope of easing the relationship with the Uchiha clan on Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato took a deep breath, and after a while, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Yes, Hokage-sama."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded happily. Namikaze Minato had the courage to stand up in times of crisis, which further proved that he would be a good Hokage and that his choice this time was not wrong.

Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked another question: "Minato, how much do you know about senjutsu?"

Senjutsu is mysterious to the ninja world, even to the four major ninja villages except Konoha, but it cannot be mysterious to Naruto. Sarutobi Hiruzen has read the details from the documents left by Senju Tobirama

description.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked this question because he wanted to know how Yichen learned the magic of immortality. Did Yichen learn the magic of immortality from the three holy places? Is there any inheritance of magic in other places besides the three holy places?

In fact, the explanation that Sarutobi Hiruzen hopes for most right now is that Yi Chen learned senjutsu by accident and was gifted. If the Iwa ninja mastered the complete inheritance of senjutsu, it would be a disaster for Konoha.

Namikaze Minato said: "I have confirmed with Mt. Myoboku that there is no known inheritance of senjutsu in the ninja world except for the three holy places. Fukasaku Sennin and the others don't know the way for Yi Chen to learn senjutsu."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't get the answer and was a little disappointed, but he didn't go into details and just nodded slightly.

On the same day, Konoha held an emergency high-level meeting. The meeting passed the decision that the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen abdicated and the fourth generation Namikaze Minato ascended the throne with the support of three people and the opposition of one person.

The person who objected was naturally Danzo, but this time Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprisingly tough and decisive, and Danzo finally relented.

The next day, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, officially succeeded to the throne on the rooftop of the Hokage Building. This time, Minato Namikaze took over in a very hasty manner, and he did not even have time to notify the Fire Nation daimyo.

The corresponding procedure was the day after Namikaze Minato came to power. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura went to the capital of the Land of Fire to supplement the daimyo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took Danzo with him wherever he went, naturally because he was afraid that this good friend would mess with Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato's rise to power is indeed a shot in the arm for Konoha. The corruption of the third generation has long made major families and some civilian elites dissatisfied. Namikaze Minato is satisfied with all parties in the village in terms of strength, military exploits, and affinity.

of.

The most important thing is that everyone knows that Namikaze Minato is on good terms with the Uchiha clan. In this precarious moment, Namikaze Minato can undoubtedly integrate the various internal factions better than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This is also true. Every family is actively cooperating with the policies of this young man who will undoubtedly be in charge of Konoha for decades to come, including preparations for various wars.

Also making preparations are the other four major countries and the River Ninja Village of the River Country.

The location of the River Ninja Village is really not very good. It is between the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind. It is also an apparent ally of the Country of Wind, so it can easily be targeted by Konoha. The Suna Ninja are actually more wary of the River Ninja than being close to it.

If the Fourth Kazekage hadn't known that Ka-nin had two Kage-levels and tried his best to restrain his subordinates not to conflict with Ka-nin, Ka-nin and Suna-nin would have been at odds with each other.

After all, since the two countries formed an alliance, they have had too many contacts. The Suna Ninja looks down on the Kawai Ninja, but the Kawai Ninja relies on the strength of their leader and has always gotten along with the Suna Ninja as an ally, and does not want to be inferior to the Suna Ninja. So the two sides

Relations at the lower level are very tense.

But the biggest problem in the Kawa Ninja Village now is not the preparation for war, nor the relationship with the Suna Ninja as an ally, but the quarrel between the three senior officials.

The content of Yahiko's argument was naturally about Jiraiya's death. Jiraiya was the mentor of the three of them and accompanied them through their weakest period. Therefore, after Jiraiya died in battle, the three of them always wanted to stop giving to Jiraiya.

They came to take revenge and quarreled endlessly.

Nagato and Xiaonan wanted revenge, but Yahiko felt that if he was blinded by hatred like everyone else, how could he end the war.

If the two parties disagree, it is natural for them to quarrel.

But the one who caused the most conflict among several people was Yichen. Yichen played a big role in this incident of Jilai's death in battle.

And this time, as the incident of Jiraiya's death in battle spread, the most talked about thing was Yichen, a newly promoted Kage, so it seemed to people that Yichen was the main force in killing Jiraiya.

So the three people had different opinions again.

This time, Nagato believed that Masuzu was the murderer of Jiraiya, while Xiaonan and Yahiko felt that Masuo also had his own reasons. Because the intelligence showed that Masuo was traveling with Onoki, the third Tsuchikage, and his immediate boss, Masuo might just be

On a mission.
