Naruto: Six Paths of the Senju Family

The news that Sarutobi Hiruzen resigned, and that Konoha's fourth Hokage was succeeded by Nogeki, who inherited the Senju Hashirama Wood Release, was like a gust of wind blowing throughout the entire ninja world.

The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.

The Third Kazekage looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"There was the White Fang of Konoha in the past, the Sannin of Konoha who rose up in the Second Ninja War, and now there's the Fourth Hokage who can use Wood Release to suppress the Nine-Tails!"

"Why does fate love Konoha so much?"

"Why can't our Sunagakure Village be like Konoha, with an endless stream of talented ninjas?"

The Third Kazekage glanced at a table on the table, which recorded the list of several talented ninjas that Sunagakure Village would focus on training.

"It seems that we can only endure it for a while."

"Rasa, Ye Cang and Xia are still too young. After they grow up, Sunagakure will make plans!"

Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth.

Ohnoki looked at the word Mudun on the information in his hand, and his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

"Can I use Wood Release to suppress Kyuubi alone, the grandson of Senju Hashirama?"

"Is this the Fourth Hokage of Konoha another guy who can compare to Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama?"

Thinking of Uchiha Madara, Onoki suddenly felt some pain in his back.

He sometimes thought that this back pain problem was probably caused by Uchiha Madara back then. Onoki reached out and rubbed his waist, and couldn't help but sigh.

"well!"

"This guy Lao Zi doesn't take this Tsuchikage seriously at all. He is a Jinchūriki of the Four Tails, but he runs around in the ninja world all day long."

"Only relying on Wuwei's words."

"With the current strength of Iwagakure Village, I'm afraid it's not enough to fight against Konoha."

"Oh! Let's wait and see the reaction of that reckless Raikage first! We in Iwagakure Village don't want to be the one who stands out!"

Cloud Hidden Village in the Country of Thunder.

"Lord Raikage!"

"According to the information sent back from Konoha by our spies, Namai disappeared mysteriously during the joint chuunin selection."

"And the Dodai Ninja also completely lost contact during the Nine-Tails Incident. They may have all encountered something unexpected."

After listening to the secretary's report, the Third Raikage suddenly stood up like an angry beast and slapped the desk in front of him.

"Bang!"

With a flurry of sawdust flying, another table fell victim to the angry Third Raikage's men.

"Damn Konoha!"

"Toutai and Namai actually died in Konoha so mysteriously!"

"Gather the troops!"

"I will personally lead the troops to Konoha and kill him without leaving any trace behind!"

The secretary pushed up his glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses were a little sad.

"Lord Raikage!"

"With our current strength, if we launch a war against Konoha, the possibility of victory is very small!"

Raikage clenched his fists angrily, his face full of ferocity.

"I do not care!"

"Konoha must pay the price for those who killed me in Cloud Hidden Village!"

Facing the angry Raikage, the secretary nodded without any emotion on his face.

"My subordinates believe in Lord Raikage's strength."

"Facing Konoha's Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konoha Sannin, Konoha White Fang and the Fourth Hokage who can use Wood Release, Raikage-sama will definitely be able to defeat them."

"When the time comes, Onoki of the Earth Kingdom will definitely be frightened by Lord Raikage's power and will never dare to provoke Kumogakure again."

"Under the leadership of the wise and powerful Raikage-sama, Kumogakure Village will definitely become the strongest ninja village in the ninja world!"

The Third Raikage's angry expression froze, and he immediately punched a hole in the wall of the office in embarrassment.

"Asshole! Are you going around the corner and calling me a fool again?"

"If you can't fight, then fight. There's no need to make fun of me here!"

The Third Raikage was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and he snorted fiercely.

"snort!"

"Go find those two boys. From today on, I will train them myself until their strength satisfies me!"

Kirigakure Village in the Country of Water.

Shrouded in fog, he is indifferent to anything happening in the outside world.

Hokage's office.

The day after the fourth Hokage's succession ceremony, Naoki summoned the important people in Konoha Village to the Hokage's office.

Seeing that the Hokage's office was almost full of Konoha elites, Naoki nodded with satisfaction.

"Everyone!"

"The two consultant elders are concerned about the development of Konoha and submitted to me a development plan for Konoha in the next few years, as well as personnel changes in some departments."

"I invite you all to come here today to discuss these changes."

"If you have any opinions or reasonable suggestions, you can speak up and we will discuss it together."

All the Konoha ninja nodded, but they were not stupid. No one really took the young Hokage's polite words seriously.

Naoki smiled slightly, picked up a pile of documents on the table, and motioned to the ANBU ninja standing next to him to distribute them to everyone.

"First of all, because of the shortage of funds in the Land of Fire, the Daimyo decided to halve the military expenditures issued to Konoha every year."

Some ninjas frowned and looked at the documents in their hands with worry on their faces. The patriarchs of the big families who knew some of the inside story had no reaction to the news.

Shengshu saw everyone's reactions in his eyes and changed the subject:

"But fortunately, Konoha has received strong support from the president of the Uwagi Real Estate Chamber of Commerce, His Excellency Oyashiro En. He is willing to transfer most of the industry to the Land of Fire on the condition of being protected by Konoha ninjas, deepening the relationship with Konoha. Collaboration and connection.”

"Therefore, Konoha's allowances and pensions for ninjas will not be reduced because of the halving of military expenditures. On the contrary, because of the large number of task delegations brought by Wani Busan, the income of ninjas will even be higher than before. .”

When the ninjas present heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads. Several representatives of ordinary ninjas showed a hint of joy on their faces.

Shen Shu continued:

"In order to better cooperate with the Wedge Real Estate Chamber of Commerce, Konoha will set up a new business department to be responsible for all matters related to the Wedge Real Estate Chamber of Commerce."

"The Commercial Department has a heavy responsibility and needs to deal with all aspects of problems, big and small. Therefore, we need to find a flexible, serious and responsible candidate to serve as the leader of the Commercial Department."

"I propose that the first minister of the Ministry of Commerce be the head of the Nara Shikaku Clan."

"Do you have any comments?"

Orochimaru was the first to stand up and cheer for his disciple.

"The leader of the Antler Clan is extremely intelligent and thoughtful. He is indeed the perfect choice for the Minister of Commerce."

"Hokage-sama's insight!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the two clan leaders, Yamazaka and Akimichi, had a look of pride on their faces.

Naoki nodded to Orochimaru with a smile and turned his gaze to everyone.

"Okay! The first resolution is passed."

"The next step is about functional changes in some departments."

"The roots of the original Shimura Danzo were cancelled, and the subordinate organizations and functions were merged into the ANBU. The ANBU leader was appointed as the Jonin of Orochimaru."

"In addition, the ANBU entrance examination is open to all ninjas who have reached Chunin or above, and Orochimaru Jounin is responsible for the entrance examination of ANBU ninjas."

"The position of former ANBU Captain Hatake Sakumo has been changed to Konoha's Minister of Military Affairs, responsible for commanding Konoha's regular ninja combat forces."

"All future wars in Konoha against the ninja world will be solely responsible for the jounin Hatake Sakumo."

"Do you two have any opinions?"

Orochimaru shook his head slightly in approval.

Hatake Sakumo hesitated for a while and then solemnly made a promise to Naoki.

"Thank you for your trust, Hokage-sama. I will live up to my trust."
