Konoha's task master

Now that they had made a decision, they didn't hesitate any longer and several people left the cave.

Outside the cave, several people separated. Yakumo and Namikaze Minato rushed to Hidden Leaves Village, while Jiraiya and Tsunade headed to Hidden Rain Village.

That afternoon, the two of them returned to Konoha Hidden Village.

Yakumo, who returned to Konoha, did not hesitate and went directly to the Hokage Building. He only made a shadow clone on the way to report to Masako Mori that he was safe.

This mission had many twists and turns, and the battle with Madara Uchiha was beyond his expectation. Both of them had reservations about each other.

There was nothing dangerous about it, but to outsiders, it was indeed a fierce fight.

The place where they fought changed the climate of the place.

Outside the nearly thousand-meter deep pit, patches of forest fell down, rivers were cut in half, and mountain peaks were cut from the center.

With a crash, Yakumo pushed open the office door.

Minato Namikaze did not go to the Hokage's office.

After all, one person is enough to report on the mission process, and he missed Uzumaki Kushina very much.

Hatake Sakumo raised his head from the numerous documents, motioned Yakumo to sit down with his eyes, and started writing furiously again.

"This mission..."

"Let's discuss it in person."

Hatake Sakumo said without raising his head.

"Okay." Yakumo replied.

The only sound left in the office was the sound of pen tip and paper scratching. Yakumo leaned his head on the sofa, closed his eyes and began to sleep lightly.

This is a way to restore your energy. It only takes ten minutes of light sleep to restore most of your energy.

Although the battle with Uchiha Madara was not dangerous, it consumed a lot of energy...but this battle was unavoidable. Uchiha Madara's state at that time was obviously that he was in trouble and wanted to chop something.

"Why."

Yakumo sighed in his heart.

A few minutes later, the office door was pushed open, Hatake Sakumo put down the pen in his hand, and Yakumo also opened his eyes.

The person who entered the office was none other than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Long time no see, Third Hokage-sama." Yakumo said.

"Uh-huh."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in greeting and sat on the sofa with his eyes closed to relax. After not seeing him for several years, Sarutobi Hiruzen became older and more energetic.

Seeing this, Yakumo went into a light sleep again.

Not long after, the office door was pushed open again.

The person coming is Uchiha Fugaku.

This time, everyone was here.

"Yakumo-sama, are you sure that person is Uchiha Madara?"

Uchiha Fugaku asked first.

"That's right...he is Uchiha Madara, Tsunade-sama identified him with his own eyes."

"Things are getting serious now."

At that time, Uchiha Fugaku's father and the old Uchiha Tsuru jointly rejected Uchiha Madara's decision to leave Konoha, and jointly declared Uchiha Madara a traitorous ninja.

Since then... Uchiha Fugaku's family has gained the position of clan leader, and Uchiha Tsuru has gained unimaginable power.

only…

In Uchiha Madara's view, they who led the family to stay in Konoha are outright traitors. Other Uchiha clan members may be forgiven, but their family is likely to be wiped out by Uchiha Madara.

"There is no protection from the first generation of adults now..."

"But... there is Yakumo-sama."

Uchiha Fugaku's heart was racing.

"Don't worry, Uchiha Madara will not target the Uchiha clan."

Yakumo said in relief.

"I hope so." Uchiha Fugaku sighed.

Uchiha Madara's heart is about the peace of the entire ninja world, so naturally he will not be too obsessed with the betrayal and hatred of the past, as long as they don't mess around in front of Madara.

"I called you all here today to discuss how to attack Uchiha Madara, or... if Uchiha Madara attacks Konoha Hidden Village, how should we respond," Hatake Sakumo said.

"What is the approximate level of Uchiha Madara's strength?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked. When he was young, he had seen Uchiha Madara fighting enemies. He was one of the few people in Konoha who had contact with Uchiha Madara.

"Between brothers and me, our strength can crush the Five Shadows Alliance."

Yakumo opened his mouth to talk about the battle with Uchiha Madara. When he mentioned that Uchiha Madara transformed into a 100-meter blue giant, Uchiha Fugaku's face became extremely pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The ninjutsu that transformed into the blue giant is Susanoo. It is an ability derived from the Mangekyō Sharingan. There are three stages, namely the initial bone-condensing state, the half-body state...and the final complete body."

Uchiha Fugaku took the initiative to introduce Uchiha Madara's skills.

This is the secret of the Uchiha clan. Fortunately, several people in the office are high-level officials of Konoha Hidden Village, so there is no harm in exposing some secrets.

"Actually, I'm more concerned about the method he used when he left." Hatake Sakumo raised his head and asked. Compared to Susanoo, who could easily kill mountains, he was more concerned about the miraculous way of leaving.

Uchiha Fugaku was silent for a few seconds. That ninjutsu involved the Uchiha clan's biggest secret. It was the supreme secret technique that could rewrite death.

"That's Izanagi."

Uchiha Fugaku finally chose to confess. When he explained Izanagi's ability, the expressions of Hatake Sakumo and Sarutobi Hiruzen changed several times.

Rewrite reality...modify destiny.

This ability is too terrifying. The only thing worth being happy about is that using this ability requires complete blindness of the three Magatama Sharingan.

"Yakumo, can you force him to use Izanagi to escape this time? Are you confident that you can completely solve the problem next time?"

Hatake Sakumo asked Yakumo.

"Not sure..." Yakumo answered honestly.

Everyone focused their attention on Yakumo. When they learned about Uchiha Madara's power, they couldn't help but feel emotional because of Yakumo's strength.

This is a fourteen-year-old who is the pinnacle of the ninja world.

What appeared on his body was a miracle that is hard to replicate.

"I have decided that Konoha will suspend taking missions outside of the Land of Fire in the next few months. The ANBU patrols in Konoha will be adjusted from the original two squads to four squads at the same time."

Hatake Sakumo ordered.

When facing an enemy like Uchiha Madara, Konoha Hidden Village seemed a little helpless.

If Senju Hashirama hadn't entangled Uchiha Madara, Konoha might have been destroyed decades ago.

In this world, the true pinnacle experts can ignore the disparity in numbers, and even tens of thousands of ninjas cannot stop the complete Susanoo's slashing.

Unfortunately, this is of little significance. If Madara Uchiha intends to destroy Konoha, even the ANBU of Team 8 will not be able to detect the traces.

"During this period, the Uchiha clan will enter a state of combat readiness, and the Konoha Security Department's patrol team will also be upgraded to four classes."

Uchiha Fugaku told Hatake Sakumo that in fact he was the most panicked one in the office, worried that Uchiha Madara would seek revenge because of old grudges.

"Yakumo should not leave Konoha Hidden Village during this period of time."

"good."

If all high-level combatants are mobilized to carry out an encirclement and killing, the most likely outcome is that everything will be destroyed, and Konoha will bear the cost of the loss of high-end combat power, and other ninja villages will inevitably start the war again.

"No need to be nervous, Uchiha Madara is not very hostile to Konoha."

Yakumo spoke to calm everyone's emotions.

After all, Uchiha Madara's pattern has long transcended the gains and losses of one clan and one village, and instead thinks about issues from the perspective of the entire ninja world.

One day he will be the enemy of the ninja world, not just Konoha.

"I hope so." Hatake Sakumo replied.

As the top leaders of Konoha, they naturally cannot take chances when making judgments, and must prepare for the worst possible outcome.

"If Uchiha Madara attacks one day, I will cooperate with Yakumo to attack him. At that time, the third generation will be responsible for the evacuation of the people."

Hatake Sakumo continued to speak.

"Understood." Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.

"I am also prepared to sacrifice for Konoha. If the situation is bad, I will use forbidden techniques to injure the enemy as hard as possible."

At this moment, bright flames burned in the old man's eyes.

He has guarded this Ninja Village for decades, and in his heart, the safety of the Ninja Village has long surpassed everything else.

"I hope it won't come to that point." Hatake Sakumo sighed.

If the worst happens and Uchiha Madara makes a surprise attack on the Hidden Leaf Village, even if a few people can kill him, the weakened Konoha Hidden Village...will not be able to maintain the current peace in the ninja world.

"Let's adjourn the meeting."

This simple meeting ended here, but everyone knew that this matter had not been completely resolved.

The ANBU, the strongest intelligence agency in Konoha, does not have the ability to track down Uchiha Madara, so the huge Ninja Village can only fall into passivity.

Several people got up and left the Hokage's office one after another.

Hatake Sakumo let out a long sigh. Initially, he planned to retire this year and elect Namikaze Minato to become the Fifth Hokage, but now the original plan can only be shelved.

"I can't be the only one having a headache."

Hatake Sakumo began to write quickly and planned to pass the news that Uchiha Madara was still alive to other ninja villages. Uchiha Madara was not only the shadow of Konoha, but also the nightmare of all countries.

At the end of the Warring States Period, if Senju Hashirama hadn't stopped him, perhaps the only people in the ninja world now would be the Land of Fire and the Hidden Leaf Village.

Susanota Buddha, two people destroyed the four kingdoms.

A few minutes later, Hatake Sakumo called the ANBU to send a letter, with a somewhat relaxed smile on his face.

"Let's all have a headache now."

This letter should make Onoki recall the fear of being dominated. This kind of thing itself is difficult to completely hide. After all, the place where the two fought was in the country of grass, but close to the country of earth.

At this time, Yanyin Village already knew about the battle.

At the same time, the third-generation Tsuchikage Onoki took the information sent by the ANBU external intelligence members, and the expression on his face became ugly and complicated.

Under the influence of intelligence, Onomu made up the picture.

The hundred-meter-high blue giant cut off the mountain peaks, and the hurricane it rolled up seemed to destroy everything around it. The giant formed by the wood escape waved its fist and made a deafening roar, as if thunder had descended on the world.

The fluctuations of the two people's battle extended for thousands of miles.

This is simply a replica of the battle in the Valley of the End.

"Could it be..."

With trembling hands, Onoki picked up the photo attached to the information. What came into view was the blue giant standing tall and tall. It was a scene that he did not want to recall in his dreams.

He had seen this scene before...and would never admit it now.

Back then, that man trampled his pride under his feet.

Ohnoki's expression changed rapidly, one of reminiscence, awe, sadness, and fear.

This fear also contained a bit of hatred, but he did not have any courage to express his anger to that person.

"How could he still be alive?"

Onoki slumped down on the chair helplessly, his already old body becoming more and more stooped, and his eyes became a little cloudy.

From Orochimaru's killing of the residents of the Earth Kingdom to Uchiha Madara's reappearance in the ninja world, both of them were like boulders piling up in his heart, and like flames burning his hard work.

In the dim room, Ohnoki leaned on the chair, his eyes gradually becoming empty, as if he was avoiding some immediate problems, but he became tenacious in an instant.

He clearly understood...Uchiha Madara should not be alive.

Regardless of his purpose, when he has the ability to easily change the situation in the ninja world, he is like a bomb that should be eliminated.

But... Iwagakure Village does not have this ability.

This is embarrassing.

"We must unite... first explore Konoha's tone."

"Those barbarians in Yunyin Village also need to be notified."

"The Kirigakure Village also reminds me."

Ohnoki thought for a moment and started writing a letter.

But he never dreamed that the Third Mizukage was currently under the control of Uchiha Madara.

A few days later... Uchiha Madara saw it written in Ohnoki's own hand.

In the letter, Onoki hopes to join forces to get rid of Uchiha Madara.

…………

After Yakumo left the Hokage's office, he walked freely on the streets of Konoha, thinking about the situation during this period...

Uchiha Madara has become younger than expected. Even if the Rinnegan is taken away by other forces, Yakumo does not dare to relax at all.

Also...who is the force that took away the Samsara Eye?

Yakumo was puzzled. According to Uzumaki Nagato's description, the person who took away the Rinnegan Eye must be Uchiha Crane who disappeared from Konoha. If he and Uchiha Madara were not co-conspirators, then...who did he serve?

At this moment, a sense of urgency for power arose in his heart.

Yakumo doesn't want to put his own safety in the hands of others.

Become stronger...but how to become stronger?

Hatake Sakumo hopes that he will not leave Konoha in the near future. In that case, he will naturally not be able to explore the dungeon world. The only thing that can improve his strength is the arena.

Yakumo plans to... try to clear the sixth arena game tonight.

This god-king in Norse mythology corresponds to the attribute of strength, and his specialty is attack, an indestructible spear, and a field that can suppress everything, which constitutes Odin's combat system.

Relatively speaking, there are weaknesses outside of the strength attribute.

Speed...property.

As the king of the sky, Odin is also good at speed.

Among the four attributes, constitution is his weakness.

So, can the enhanced Wood Release defeat Odin?

In fact, Yakumo can now fully grasp the timing of the "Prayer" mark appearing and can use it as he wishes.

When fighting Uchiha Madara, he did not use the mark to strengthen the wood escape.

In addition to this, the Glory Sword Box and Crazy Blood are also two trump cards.

If Mudun field control, crazy blood, and holy light tempering are combined... maybe we can try to kill Odin.

When Yakumo returned home, he first shared with Masako Mori what he had heard and seen in the past few days, but when describing the battle scene, he reduced the degree of danger...

Also, it expresses my deepest longing for Masako Mori.

After dinner, Yakumo lay on the bed.

"Immortal mode, turn on!"

"Enter the Arena!"
