Konoha: Starting from Sage Transformation

"Of course that's not the case. Although I didn't expect Yuyin to be able to defeat Kumoyin in a weak and strong manner, I am definitely very happy. This is equivalent to directly helping us drive those black barbarian bandits back to our hometown. We won't fight. But it’s too late for me to be happy about victory.

However, we cannot get carried away because of this victory and forget the current crisis that we Konoha is facing. Until now, there is no news about the people who went to hunt for Chiyo. The people I originally sent to look for them also never returned. I am worried. Something unexpected happened. "

When Sandai heard Mooka say this, he shook his head and retorted, the look on his face getting even sadder.

He is really worried now. Whether it is the affairs with Yugakure or the pursuit of Chiyo, neither of them goes to his liking.

Ame Gakure miraculously defeated Kumo Gakure, which made his original plan to let Orochimaru go pick peaches aborted. Tsunade proposed to support Ame Gakure and risked her life to go to support Ame Gakure in person. Ye's great hero.

When word spreads about Amegakure's defeat, people in Konoha will only remember that Tsunade went to support Amegakure alone and made a huge contribution to Konoha and Amegakure's defeat of Kumogakure.

With this solid record and contribution, Tsunade's prestige in Konoha has become higher and higher, and the position of the next Hokage has become more and more difficult to shake.

As for the matter of hunting down Chiyo, he had secretly discussed it with Homura Uchiha, and the credit would be his, and the follow-up plan to support the puppet Kurosaki to rise to power in Sunagakure had already been thought out.

He originally thought that it was almost certain that Uchiha Homura and Hatake Sakumo would take action against Chiyo, but now both Uchiha Homura and Hatake Sakumo are missing.

He himself didn't care about Uchiha Homura's life or death, but Hatake Sakumo was now his most powerful assistant in controlling the Anbu, so there couldn't be any accidents.

Therefore, he is really worried now that nothing goes his way.

It's really frustrating for him to be the Hokage.

When Senju Momoka, Mito Kadoen and Kasumi Koharu heard this, all three of them had shocked expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they did not expect that there would be any surprises in the pursuit of Chiyo.

"How is it possible? Although the old guy Uchiha Homura is usually not showy, his strength is definitely above Chiyo. After all, the old guy most likely has the Mangekyo Sharingan. He actually missed it. It's unlikely. .”

Mito Monohan said with a suspicious look on his face.

"I also think it's impossible. That old guy can't die so easily. With his ability, who in the ninja world can kill him, and White Fang is here."

Xiaochun, who went to bed, agreed.

Taohua listened to the words of the two people and remained silent. There was only a strange color in her eyes. She glanced at the two of them lightly, and then turned her gaze to the third generation.

Mito Kado and Koharu are both powerful ninjas, so they are naturally alert. They immediately noticed that something was not right about the way Mooka looked at them, and they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, and they were a little panicked, but The surface remains unchanged.

Secretly uniting with the people of the Old Roots to intercept and kill Uchiha Homura was shady.

Of course, the two of them knew that Uchiha Homura's pursuit of Chiyo was very dangerous. However, the news they received from the old root not long ago was that Uchiha Homura was missing. Not only was Uchiha Homura missing, but also Hatake Saku Shigeru and the two elite ninjas sent by the old roots to intercept Homura Uchiha were also missing.

It can be seen from this that Uchiha Homura and others must have encountered an extremely powerful enemy, and they are probably in danger now.

In this regard, the two of them were both regretful and frightened. It was a pity that they could not get Uchiha Homura's Sharingan. What was frightening was that they were just a praying mantis in this matter.

Because of his son Sarutobi Takashi, the third generation now has very little control over the new roots. He only knows that his son may have colluded with the old roots, but he is not convinced that Mito Kado and Koharu, who have been transferred to the dormitory, secretly united with the old roots to target Uchiha Homura. This matter is not clear at all.

When he heard the two people singing harmoniously and saw Taohua's reaction, he felt a little suspicious.

However, he would not be stupid enough to bring it up now, so he had to put his doubts to rest for the time being and prepare to wait for his two good disciples Orochimaru and Jiraiya to return before conducting a secret investigation.

Therefore, he decisively put aside the pursuit of Chiyo for the time being, and said: "The matter of Uchiha Homura and White Fang has not yet been decided. Let's put it aside for now. Let's continue to talk about Amegakure. With Tsunade's efforts, , we are now allies with Yugakure, and although Yugakure defeated Kumogakure, he also paid a huge price. The entire Yugakure village was gone. They no longer have much ability to stop Kumogakure's attack. Tsunade's latest The message sent is that we hope that Konoha will send reinforcements as soon as possible to help Yugakure drive out all Kumogakure ninjas from the Land of Rain."

They had already learned the specific details of Amegakure's defeat of Kumogakure from the information sent back by Tsunade.

I have to say, Yu Yin is ruthless enough.

Also, Hattori Masashige is very dangerous.

"I think everyone knows in their hearts that the real purpose of Kumogakure's trip south this time is to target us Konoha. Yugakure has protected us Konoha from disasters. We Konoha don't need to remember Yugakure's good deeds, but if we don't If you support Amegakure, it will be difficult for him to protect Konoha from disasters like he did today."

Momoka definitely expressed her 100% support for Tsunade's proposal. As soon as Sandai finished speaking, she spoke in favor.

When the three generations heard Taohua's words, none of them refuted.

However, they didn't like Tsunade's proposal more or less.

After all, from the moment to moment, starting from the interests of Konoha, continuing to let Amegakure and Kumogakure fight to death is called maximizing interests.

Kumogakure was cheated so miserably by Amegakure this time. It would be impossible for Kumogakure to return without ruthless revenge based on Kumogakure's character. If Konoha allowed Kumogakure to continue to take revenge on Amegakure, they would no longer even have a home. Yu Yin is afraid that he will face a real disaster.

Hattori Masaki was strong, but most of Amegakure's people were dead. How could he alone be able to withstand the carving up of the Kingdom of Rain by the three major countries surrounding the Kingdom of Rain?

It would be better if Hattori was killed by Kumogakure's people just as he was doing this. Kumogakure would be considered completely in decline and could no longer be a threat to Konoha.

After all, Konoha and Amegakure were fighting to the death a year ago, and there were many grievances and conflicts between the ninjas on both sides. The reliability and timeliness of this alliance need to be considered.

"Three of you, don't look at the problem too short-sighted. We Konoha have lost a good ally before, and now we have finally found a good ally. If we lose it again, what will the younger generations think of us old people? Guy."

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Taohua immediately understood what the three of them were thinking and said with an angry face.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three generations changed instantly.

The faces of Mito Kaden and Koharu, who had transferred to the dormitory, became very ugly, while the third generation looked guilty.

The destruction of the Uzumaki Ninja Village was a long-lasting scar on Konoha that was difficult to heal, and it was also a big mistake made by the three of them when they first started to take charge of Konoha.

At that time, because Konoha had just come out of the First World War and the transfer of power had just been completed, they were internally unstable, so out of scruples, they did not lend a helping hand to the Uzumaki Ninja Village, which eventually led to the Uzumaki Ninja Village being destroyed by the other four major ninja villages. , the legacy of the Uzumaki clan also fell into the hands of the four great ninja villages, allowing them to make up for their lack of inheritance of sealing techniques and obtain stable combat power like jinchūriki, which greatly enhanced their own strength.

Since then, Konoha's decline has begun, and it has lost its glory when the first and second generations were alive.

"Momooka, Konoha cannot be blamed for the destruction of Uzumaki Ninja Village. The blame lies with the Uzumaki clan who are too stubborn and arrogant and unwilling to integrate into Konoha. Moreover, no one could have imagined that the four major ninja villages would join forces to target Uzumaki Ninja Village. We It’s too late for Konoha to go to support.”

After sleeping, Xiaochun obviously didn't want to admit this mistake and replied righteously.

"So, will Konoha give up its allies again?"

Taohua asked rhetorically.

After turning to bed, Xiaochun was immediately speechless and didn't know how to reply.

Because no matter how high-sounding her reasons are, for Konoha, it is a disgraceful thing to ignore allies until death, and Konoha's subsequent treatment of the Uzumaki clan is not very kind.

"Mito-sama has passed away, but her contribution to Konoha during her lifetime is obvious to all. If she is still here, do you think she hopes to see Konoha betray her allies again?"

Taohua continued.

At this time, the three generations did not dare to look into Taohua's eyes, and they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

In fact, they knew very well that Mito-sama no longer interfered with Konoha's affairs and only lived in the Senju clan, fading out of the sight of Konoha people. This was actually expressing her dissatisfaction and showing how much she disliked them. dissatisfied.

Also, they all heard another meaning of what Taohua just said.

Kirito is Mito-sama's direct disciple. If Mito-sama hates things, Kirito must also hate them.

The three of them can ignore the feelings of Amegakure, or even the feelings of Tsunade and Mito, but they cannot ignore the feelings of Kirito.

"Ame Gakure is a good ally. They are now in a fight to the death with Kumogakure. Helping Amegakure is actually helping us Konoha. With Amegakure here in the future, it is basically impossible for Kumogakure to threaten us Konoha. So I personally agree with Tsunade’s opinion.”

Sandai heard the implication in Momohua's words and spoke out his support simply.

No matter what, Kirito is Konoha's pinnacle now and will be in the future. If he, the Hokage, wants to get things done smoothly in the future, he must get Kirito's support.

He actually has a pretty good relationship with Kirito.

Also, Kirito appears to be a member of the Senju clan on the surface, but it is only a matter of time before he becomes his own clan. Strictly speaking, he actually belongs to the civilian ninja clan.

Therefore, he did not want to continue to have trouble with Kirito because of this matter.

Besides, what he just said makes sense. Helping Amegakure will indeed help Konoha, but it may leave Amegakure to rise again in the future and threaten Konoha again.

But by then, he will most likely no longer be the Hokage, and these troublesome matters will be left to the new Hokage to handle.

"That's the reason. I also agree with sending troops to support Yugakure now."

Seeing that the third generation voted, Mito Katoyan also voted very simply and nodded in agreement.

The same goes for sleeping in Xiaochun.

"Very good. Now that we have reached an agreement, let's talk about the candidates to lead the troops to assist Yugakure this time."

The third generation quickly changed the topic.

The situation in Yugakure Village is basically clear. With the support of Konoha, Kumogakure, which has been greatly weakened, will definitely be defeated.

That is to say, whoever leads troops to support Yugakure now can make great achievements.

"Do you still have to choose? Tsunade brought up the matter of supporting Yugakure. Naturally, she will be the person in charge to handle this matter."

Taohua heard Sandai's idea of ​​​​picking peaches and immediately argued with reason.

"There is no problem in letting Tsunade be the person in charge, but even if Kumogakure's strength is greatly reduced, he is not a vegetarian. Their Kage-level strongmen are still there, and Tsunade will definitely take advantage of Kumogakure's Kage-level strongmen. It’s a big loss, we have to send someone who can help her.”

Sandai did not object to Taohua's words, and said them one by one.

This time, Konoha supported Yugakure to drive away Kumogakure. Tsunade's credit must not go away, and she must be the first to take the credit. But his purpose was just to let Orochimaru share some of the credit. As for whether Orochimaru can capture it, This opportunity to achieve greater success depends on his own ability.

"How about letting Kirito go over and help Tsunade? Anyway, the war in the Country of Wind is basically over."

Taohua asked tentatively.

It wasn't that she couldn't trust the people sent by the Third Generation to help Tsunade, but she was a little unwilling to have Tsunade's credit shared. Instead of taking advantage of the Third Generation, it would be better to die in the pot.

"No, Kirito is now a Jinchuuriki, and he is in the spotlight. If he appears on the battlefield again, he will probably be attacked by powerful enemies other than Kumogakure. When the time comes, let alone protecting Tsunade, he may not be able to protect himself."

The third generation immediately objected.

"What Hiruzen said is absolutely correct. Kirito needs to return to the village as soon as possible. It is too risky to send him to the battlefield now."

Mito Kadenyan also decisively stood on the third generation's side again.

When Momoka saw this, she knew that it was impossible for Kirito to support Tsunade, and she also felt that what the third generation said was reasonable. Kirito should indeed return to Konoha as soon as possible. This time, she was a little too eager for quick success.

With this thought, she finally stopped insisting.

Momohua did not continue to obstruct, and the third generation quickly made Orochimaru the person in charge of leading troops to support Yugakure this time.

. . .

At the same time, in a dark underground cave, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly opened in the darkness, and Uchiha Madara successfully returned to his lair.

As soon as Uchiha Madara came back, a White Zetsu dragged a huge cocoon in front of him and said in a respectful and enthusiastic tone: "Madara-sama, I have brought you what you asked for. Don't worry, the things inside have been If you are revived by the stone statue, you will not die even if you temporarily lose the supply of the stone statue."
