Naruto Shura Road

.As the afterglow of the sun set on the horizon, Konoha Ninja Village, known as the number one ninja village in the ninja world, spent another peaceful day that it seemed to always have.

This village was founded by the first Hokage Senju Hashirama and Konoha Shura Uchiha Madara with their unparalleled power, and completely inherited the strength of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan.

Not only does it follow the excellent composition structure of the Senju Clan, which flourishes in all directions and is proficient in almost all fields of ninjutsu, but it also possesses powerful blood inheritance power, and two of the three major pupil techniques are in Konoha.

However, strong is strong. The Fire Country is located in the center of the continent, controls the transportation hub, and occupies the most fertile land. It has also become the catalyst for war. A war in the ninja world will always involve Konoha. In other words, the purpose of the war is to

Defeat Konoha.

Compared to the Kingdom of Fire, other countries are really too barren. Look at the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Thunder. Can you be reconciled to that...

Therefore, the biggest headache for Hokage in the past is how to achieve a balanced situation among the five major powers. Of course, it is also necessary to recruit one or two allies. You can't really go one against two, one against three, or one against four? That's simply

I'm just getting nervous and looking for twitching...

One against two is reluctant, one against three is desperate, but one against four... no matter how strong Konoha is, there is an upper limit.

As a generation of Ninja heroes, the Third Hokage known as "Doctor", Sarutobi Hiruzen is very troubled now. Even though the sky has completely turned dark, he is still standing on the rooftop, looking at the whole view of Konoha below, in a daze.

.

For him, the worries on the battlefield were far less than worries about internal crises.

The strength of Konoha lies in its huge scale, and its huge scale brings about another problem - the unity of internal forces.

This problem is absolutely fatal, because the conflict between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan did not end just because they joined forces to establish Konoha. In fact, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara broke up very quickly.

The Uchiha clan quickly took over Madara's baton.

As Senju faded away, this conflict eventually expanded into a conflict between the Uchiha clan and the upper echelons of the entire village. Because of the second generation's operations, they were bound by the security force and kept away from the top. As one of the founders of Konoha,

One, the Uchiha clan is very dissatisfied with this.

But the Uchiha family is not the only one in Konoha. There are countless families, large and small, and various interest groups are entangled. This is what the Hokage has to worry about.

"Alas...Tsunade...it's so bad..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen is still far from aging as he will be after more than 10 years. His current power is truly the number one in Konoha. Orochimaru, who will cause a huge blow to Konoha in the future, is still Konoha's.

A ninja is, in other words, a "good guy"...

At this time, Orochimaru had not even begun to pursue the forbidden art of immortality by any means necessary, and had not yet conducted human experiments. Now, although he has a cold personality, he is still fighting for Konoha and training the next generation of ninjas.

However, it was not Orochimaru who was the first to have trouble among the three ninjas. The third generation is now sighing non-stop because of this matter.

The reason is very simple. Among the three ninjas, Orochimaru is the strongest in terms of combat power, but in terms of importance to the village, Tsunade is...

Because of Tsunade, Konoha has carried out innovations in ninja combat configurations and has the best overall combat effectiveness of the ninja team.

Because of Tsunade, Konoha's medical level suddenly soared from a level similar to that of other countries, becoming the best in the ninja world. The death rate of ninjas was greatly reduced, which directly led to the improvement of Konoha's overall combat power.

Well...it's because of Tsunade. She has a superior status. She is the granddaughter of the first generation. She has wide connections and high reputation. As long as she is in Konoha, Konoha will be stable.

But now, Tsunade can no longer serve Konoha, because after her brother, her best friend also went to see the cake seller Buddha. This is very common in wars, but this eldest sister's heart is obviously better than hers.

She was so delicate on the outside, but faced this kind of blow, she collapsed...

She suffers from hemophobia. Let alone fighting, even her own job, medical treatment, she can't do now.

Most of the ninja's medical treatment involves seeing blood, not just making some medicine...

Probably realizing this, Tsunade finally decided to run away. Even Orochimaru and Jiraiya couldn't stop her.

The third generation didn't stop him, he knew Tsunade's character.

But just because of this, he had a headache...

Tsunade's departure had a huge impact. Not only did he have a headache, Danzo also had a headache...

However, he was standing on the rooftop in a daze, while Danzo was playing with his cane in the underground base...

Both of them were sighing non-stop, why did Konoha get into such a mess...

What is worthy of consolation is that Jiraiya has an outstanding disciple - Yellow Flash, Thousand Hands Series, masters emerge in large numbers, one generation after another. With this power, the situation can still be controlled.

"Dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door, and Sandai turned around. Even standing on the rooftop, he could still hear all the sounds in the office. After all, he was also the number one expert in Konoha. He didn't have any hearing, so he was in vain...

"Come in."

When he said this, he was already sitting at the desk again.

"Hokage-sama, excuse me."

The door opened and Aoki Shirou walked in.

"It's Shirou..."

Touching the pipe, Sandai smiled slightly,

"I heard that Asma is working under you. It's really hard work."

He was aware of the placement of Asma by the department below, but he did not interfere. Sooner or later Asma would understand that he did not give him the so-called asylum.

"That's nothing. I'm here to report something. Some time ago, two people from the Kingdom of Water entered Konoha."

Shirou smiled. It really didn't matter. Anyway, he just used a shadow clone and a transformation technique, so no one could tell.

"I think it is necessary to report to you."

"oh?"

Sandai was a little surprised, or in other words, he was actually more curious.

It is not uncommon for people from the Kingdom of Water to seek refuge in the Kingdom of Fire or the Kingdom of Thunder, but as a jounin, Aoki Shirou came to report such a thing. It is not a trivial matter, but it has special value.

"What kind of person is he? He actually makes you go to such trouble?"

"I'm afraid I can't tell you the specifics, but what is certain is that one of them should have a very powerful blood inheritance limit and can use ice as a carrier to fight. They claim to be fleeing from the Kingdom of Water.

Want to join the village."

"Isn't it a very powerful ice escape technique... If you even say that, it seems that it is not an ordinary escape technique. You come here to test it with me, right?"

Sandai carefully recalled what he knew about the Kingdom of Water.

If ice is used, the ninja world is not without it, but it should not be that family. The daimyo of the Kingdom of Water even launched the Mist Ninja to hunt and kill that family. It is impossible for them to escape...

The Third Hokage, who studied under the First and Second Generations, still has fresh memories of the Wood Release used by the First Generation. Nowadays, this kind of escape technique can be said to be almost extinct in Konoha. Although there are still ninjas who can use Wood Release, they are no longer the same as the First Generation.

It's the same thing.

Therefore, he is also very concerned about the unique escape techniques produced in similar situations, and as far as he knows, the ice escape technique of the Minazuki family in the Kingdom of Water is the only fusion escape technique that is closest to the nature of the first generation wood escape.

Both have extremely special abilities. Although Ice Escape is inferior to Wood Escape in terms of its ability to cope with the environment and absolute strength, it is more difficult to deal with than Wood Escape in terms of skill.

"What are their names?"

After thinking about it, Sandai asked. He needed to confirm. If it was really what he thought, he wouldn't mind confirming it again with his own eyes.

"One is named Kaguya Ogata, and the other is named Kaguya Qi. He is the blood successor I mentioned. His real name is Minazuki. He changed his name just because he has the blood of the Kaguya clan."

"Shui Wuyue... I didn't expect anyone to be able to escape, but even I only heard about it and never actually saw it."

The third generation stood up. It seemed that he really needed to confirm with his own eyes that he was really from the Minazuki family.

Konoha's understanding of Minazuki mainly comes from the intelligence investigation conducted during the Civil War in Water Country. However, this investigation is very limited. It only knows that Minazuki is famous in Water Country for his special ability of ice escape.

.

Although there are some records about ice escape from the Intelligence Department, but after all, if you haven't witnessed it with your own eyes, it is inevitable that there will be some moisture.

"Hokage-sama, do you know that family?"

Shirou thought to himself that he really should report it. The look on Sandai's face showed that his judgment about Qi was correct. He was indeed a powerful blood successor.

"Well, they are quite famous in the Kingdom of Water. In theory, the ice escape technique is the same level of powerful escape technique as the first Hokage's wood escape technique. By the way... have you ever fought against them?"

The third generation looked at Shirou with interest. If Shirou had fought against the opponent, it would be a good reference.

"At least the defensive properties are good. I used fire escape once. Because the opponent was just a child, I controlled the power. The defensive properties of the ice wall were also surprisingly good. It perfectly defended my powerful fire ball technique."

Shirou shrugged.

"Oh? How much did you use? What level of strength does that child have now?"

The third generation's eyes were a little bright.

"At most 50%... As for that child, he is just a genin. An ordinary genin is absolutely unstoppable. If he doesn't dodge, he will be burned to death."

Shirou considered it carefully.

"I think it's probably because there is no one to teach him. His master, Kaguya Ogata, only knows taijutsu. As for ninjutsu, he probably learned it by himself. He should have a family secret scroll."

"Kaguya Ogata...Shirou, have you fought against him?"

Sandai suddenly asked.

"That's not true...but after all, he is only a physical arts expert. To be fair, I think that child is much more important than him, and they have a master-student relationship, so I did not continue to take action."

Shirou shook his head.

"Well... you are right to handle it this way, but that Ogata once escaped safely under the hands of Hatake Sakumo. Sakumo also spoke highly of him. Although his taijutsu is not as good as the Eight Gates

Dunjia and Rouquan, but they are also unique."

Sandai smiled, and he changed some tobacco, and there was almost no smoke in the pipe...

"This time, you have really gained a lot. If these two people really come to join the village, the village will definitely treat them well! Go and say hello to the Intelligence Department and let them investigate more carefully, but you must also entertain them well.

, lest they have a bad impression of the village."

After speaking, he added,

"The first impression often determines many things."

"Yes, then I will deal with it."

After receiving Sandai's reply, Shirou left the office, leaving Sandai alone here smoking a pipe.

"Mizunazuki...Mizunazuki...um..."

Even though Shirou had left, Sandai still didn't get up. He had many more issues to consider than Shirou.

The addition of Ice Release, a powerful blood successor, is very important to the village, but similarly, any village will be cautious when dealing with the issue of blood successors.

This not only involves the improvement of combat effectiveness, but also involves the power structure within the village. Fortunately, Qi is only one person now, but in the future, Qi will have descendants, and his descendants will slowly form a new blood family.

The structure that has been formed is difficult to adjust. Konoha must make arrangements now for the future of Ice Release, a powerful blood successor.

However, he doesn't have a ninjutsu master, so this is a good place and worth trying...

The third generation remembers that Ice Release comes from the fusion of the chakra properties of water and wind, just like the fusion of Wood Release from the property changes of water and earth.

In other words, Qi needs a master who is proficient in water escape or wind escape...

As for water escape, Konoha has not had a particularly powerful master since the second generation, but there are several wind escape masters...

Nowadays, the most famous Wind Release masters in the village are none other than Yellow Flash, Fengami Minato, Danzo is also a master of Wind Release, and Orochimaru's attainments in Wind Release are also top-notch.

Who should I look for...

Danzo must have passed. Although everyone is working hard for Konoha, understanding is understanding. Conflicts in concepts are inevitable. The third generation does not dare to take this risk. In other words, he believes from the bottom of his heart that gentleness

The route we send is the long-term solution.

Looking for Namikaze Minato, he already has three students and is active on the battlefield, it seems to be a good choice.

But Orochimaru is not bad. After all, he is his closest student and his favorite student. Besides, what Minato is best at is space ninjutsu, not escape technique. And Orochimaru's attainments in wind escape technique,

Seems more mature...

The most important thing is that Orochimaru has a broad vision and few students, so he has plenty of time.

"Here comes someone."

Having decided all this, the Third Hokage shouted towards the door.

"Hokage-sama."

The door opened, and the ANBU guarding the door came in,

"What are your orders?"

"Is Orochimaru still in the village?"

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru and Lord Jiraiya have no missions yet and are on standby in the village."

"Call him here and tell him that I have a task for him."
