Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

"The third generation Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen, abdicated due to injury, and the hero Nawaki who suppressed the Nine-Tails and saved Konoha succeeded as the fourth generation Hokage."

"The Hokage Rock is currently carving the portrait of the Fourth Hokage. In half a month, the handover ceremony for the position of Hokage will be held at the Hokage Building."

"All residents of Konoha Village are welcome to attend this event."

This breaking news was posted on bulletin boards all over Konoha Village, and spread throughout the streets and alleys of Konoha almost in a day.

"That's great!"

"Lord Nogeki is a powerful ninja who can single-handedly suppress terrifying monsters like the Kyuubi. If he becomes Hokage, our village will definitely be safer."

"It's more than that!"

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Have you forgotten? Master Naoki is a super strong man who can use wood escape just like the first Hokage."

"If he becomes Hokage, he will definitely be able to turn Konoha into the strongest existence in the five major countries just like when the first generation ruled."

"At that time, we, Konoha, will not have the final say in the entire ninja world?"

"hiss!"

"This brother is so kind!"

Among the noisy crowd, a middle-aged man wearing an off-white hood looked at the notice on the bulletin board with a trace of regret in his eyes.

"It's such a pity that Kyuubi didn't destroy Konoha!"

"It seems that I have to take advantage of this transition of power in Konoha to complete the task assigned to me by the village!"

The middle-aged man touched the stone carving tools on his waist, squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the Hokage Rock.

"Uh-huh!"

A ninja wearing ANBU costume appeared in front of the middle-aged man and blocked his way.

The middle-aged man was startled, subconsciously took a step back, nodded and bowed in fear. He looked exactly like the cowardly look an ordinary person would have when seeing a superior ninja.

"My lord, I am one of the craftsmen involved in carving the head of the Fourth Generation. I am going to work on the Hokage Rock."

"Excuse me, sir, what's the matter with stopping me here?"

Anbu looked at the man in front of him who looked like an ordinary craftsman with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

If the Yondaime-sama hadn't confessed it personally, who would have believed that this ordinary-looking middle-aged man was a spy who had been lurking in Konoha Village for many years?

"Your name is Xuan Weng, right?"

"Hokage-sama ordered me to invite you to the office for a talk. Come with me!"

Xuan Weng's drooping pupils shrank, and his hands shrunk in his clothes couldn't help but shed a trace of sweat.

"grown ups!"

"Although I am a native of Konoha who fled to Konoha during the war, I have lived in Konoha for almost ten years. I have always done my duty and have never done anything to regret Konoha!"

"I wonder what Hokage-sama means by calling me past?"

Anbu shook his head, not wanting to talk nonsense to him anymore.

"I'm just here to convey the Hokage-sama's order and bring you to the Hokage-sama."

"As for the reason, of course the Hokage will explain it to you."

"Let's go!"

After the ANBU finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to hold Gengao's arm and quickly ran towards the Hokage Building.

Xuan Weng was grabbed by the ANBU and tried several times to show off his strength and break free.

But this place is too close to the Hokage Building and Konoha's security forces. If his strength is exposed, I'm afraid he won't be able to run very far before the group of Uchiha fighting maniacs will kill him on the spot, right?

Struggling internally, he arrived at the Hokage Building in a blink of an eye.

"Yondaime-sama!"

"Under the orders of the Fourth Master, I have brought Xuan Weng here!"

The ANBU led Xuanwen, pushed open the door of the Hokage's office, knelt down on one knee in front of Naoki who was sitting in the main seat, and said respectfully.

Naoki stopped talking with Orochimaru, nodded to the ANBU and said softly:

"Well! Thank you for your hard work! Come on down!"

"yes!"

The ANBU ducked away, leaving only Naoki, Orochimaru and Genou in the Hokage's office.

Xuan Weng raised his head cautiously and showed a reluctant smile to the rope tree.

Naoshu stood up from his seat, walked to him, reached out and took out a document from his arms.

"Xuan Weng, a ninja from the Kagero Village of the Country of Mountains, is good at using the art of traps to control the detonating talisman to carry out assassinations and explosions!"

"Before the Second Ninja War, he received orders from Kagero Village to secretly sneak into Konoha and perform espionage missions."

"And wait for the opportunity to detect intelligence and destroy the stability behind Konoha Village, and cooperate with Kagero Village to achieve the purpose of destroying Konoha."

"The identity lurking in Konoha is that of an ordinary craftsman."

Shengshu put down the document in his hand, looked at Xuanweng whose expression had changed in front of him, and asked:

"Genuo Jōnin, am I right?"

Xuan Weng suddenly raised his head and looked at Shengshu with somewhat panicked eyes.

"Fourth Generation, I don't know what you are talking about."

"The young one is just an ordinary person, not a spy from Yangyan Village like you said!"

Shengshu shook his head slightly, took out an old detonating talisman from his arms, and waved it in front of Xuan Weng.

"Did you personally place this detonating talisman on the Hokage Rock?"

"I have a lot more here!"

"Oh, right!"

"You have been in Konoha for so long, so the news may be a little blocked."

"By the way, let me tell you some information. Your Yangyan Village has disappeared from the ninja world!"

"I heard from Orochimaru-sensei, it seems like someone from Taki-nin did it!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, directly shattering Xuan Weng's psychological defense. He staggered back two steps and murmured in disbelief:

"Yangyan Village is gone?"

Naoshu nodded.

The light in Xuan Weng's eyes slowly dimmed, and he looked at the rope tree with a blank expression.

"The village is gone, so what's the point of me lurking in Konoha?"

"The Fourth Hokage, now that you have discovered my identity, kill me!"

Shengshu shook his head regretfully, looked at Xuan Weng and said:

"Alas! What a pity!"

"I couldn't bear to let your superb machine skills and combat skills be buried, and I wanted to persuade you to stay in Konoha."

"However, since you want to die, I can only say sorry to the child who wants to see his father again!"

Xuan Weng was stunned and looked at the rope tree inexplicably.

"What do you mean, Hokage-sama?"

He did have a son, but his son died on the battlefield during the conflict with Konoha more than ten years ago. If it weren't for this incident, he wouldn't have accepted the almost lifeless mission of destroying Konoha.

On the one hand, it is for the village, and on the other hand, it is also to avenge his dead son.

A big smile appeared on Naoki's face, he walked to Orochimaru's side and introduced Xuanweng:

"This is my teacher, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas."

"He is very good at the secret arts of the human body and soul. As long as he obtains a part of the target's body tissue, it is quite simple to 'resurrect' a person."

Xuanweng's body trembled and he looked at Orochimaru expectantly.

Orochimaru glared at Naoki, not daring to admit it shamelessly. Xiang Xuanweng shook his head.

"Your Excellency Xuan Weng, don't listen to his nonsense."

"Although I have some research on some secret techniques, I am still far from the level of resurrecting the dead."

The hope in Xuan Weng's eyes dissipated, and the idea of ​​wanting to live that just arose in his heart slowly disappeared.

"but."

Orochimaru changed the topic and said:

"If we just meet once, we can still do it."
