Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"What!? Danzo, he actually!?"

In the Hokage's office, the three people who had gathered here because of Minato Namikaze's emergency message heard the news of Danzo Shimura's death. Their old faces showed a mixture of shock, shock, shake, collapse, and fear. Upon seeing this, Namikaze Minato lowered his head and said with a low expression:

"I'm sorry, Lord Sandaime, Lord En, and Lord Koharu... I've arrived at the scene, but I still couldn't stop Kaguya Rei from killing Danzo-sama. I couldn't even kill Danzo-sama's body. recapture……"

Namikaze Minato's impression of Shimura Danzo was not good, and he had always disliked the unscrupulous and inhumane Roots, but this did not prevent him from recognizing Danzo and the Roots as companions fighting to protect Konoha.

Seeing his companion die in front of him, but he couldn't even bring his body back, frustration was inevitable for Minato who valued the village and his companions.

What's more, the person who died was one of the extremely rare top masters in Konoha.

"It's not your fault, Minato..." Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had the most complicated relationship with Danzo, took a deep breath from his pipe and sighed with a complicated expression:

"Letting you drag your unhealed body around is already a disqualification for us old people. If I blame you again for such a forced thing, I will no longer be recognized as Hokage... …”

"Hiruzhan, rather than feeling sorry for yourself at this time, it would be better to deal with Danzo's legacy as soon as possible."

Mito Monobu pushed up his glasses and said with a trembling voice:

"The ninjas at the root are an indispensable and important fighting force for the village. They are also a secret organization that possesses a large amount of confidential information and channels. If a suitable successor cannot be selected as soon as possible, they will be in trouble because they are leaderless. There's been a big mess."

"The war between us and Kirigakure is far from over. If the internal discord shows signs of weakness at this time, Kumogakure and Iwagakure, who have just completed their peace talks, will soon make a comeback."

After returning to bed, Koharu also followed Mito Kadobu's speech and emphasized the need to let the roots settle down as soon as possible. Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the pipe in his hand and looked at the two people who had been with him since the Second Hokage period. The companion asked without interest:

"Then, do you two already have a suitable candidate in mind?"

"Orochimaru/Orochimaru!"

The two consultants almost said the name of the man with a dark style at the same time.

"Orochimaru himself has served in the Roots for a period of time, and is a member of the legendary Sannin. In terms of qualifications and strength, he is the most suitable candidate to take over the Roots. Although his escape this time led to Danzo's death. One of the important reasons, but this is war time after all, and if Orochimaru is not used, we will no longer be able to find someone who can safely take over the root."

"Hurry up and give the order, Hiruzen. Danzo controls all the members of the Roots with the Seal of Tongue Bane. After his death, the seal on all the members of the Roots will be lifted. If you hesitate for too long, there will be many People defect because they lose faith in their roots!”

Orochimaru...?

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes, recalling the extreme and dissatisfaction he saw in Orochimaru's eyes when he refused to recommend him as the candidate for the Fourth Hokage, and how he got closer to Danzo after that, and Taking a deep breath as he acted in an increasingly extreme style.

"No, it can't be Orochimaru."

"Why!?" Mito Katoen and Koharu who were transferred to the dormitory asked sharply at the same time, "Orochimaru's character may not be suitable for becoming Hokage, but as the successor of Root, he is definitely the most suitable person, isn't he, Hiruzen!? "

"It is precisely because it is suitable that it cannot be given to him."

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed with unparalleled determination.

"The root was born due to my incompetence and mistakes. It is an organization that is even darker than ANBU. We cannot let it continue to grow into the depths of darkness."

"Then how do you solve the root problem that may get out of control, Hiruzen!?"

Mito Kaden stood up and stood in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, staring into his eyes, and asked loudly in a stern tone that could almost be said to be a question.

"It's up to me to personally resolve the mistakes I made."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

"Hiruzhan!? Do you want to..."

Then, before Mito Katoen and Kasumi Koharu could express surprise at his rare toughness, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head and imitated Senju Tobirama's tone when he entrusted the future of the village to him, He said to Namikaze Minato who was also surprised:

"Minato, be aware and prepared. After the war is over, you will take over the position of the Fourth Hokage and protect the village on my behalf."

…

"Huh huh huh, this veteran Danzo is really worth a lot... Even if I only do S-level missions with a reward of more than one million taels in the future, each S-level mission will only take three days to complete. , all the income is at his own disposal, and he has to work tirelessly for ten years and complete thousands of S-level tasks to have the opportunity to earn so much money..."

Although with Danzo's net worth of over thirty Sarutobi Asuma on the black market, there are few gold exchangers who can afford such a large sum of money in cash, but who can open an underground gold exchange? He is not a human spirit among human spirits. How could he dare to let Kaguya Rei, a ruthless person like Kaguya Rei, come to collect the reward alone with the corpse of the root boss?

Ever since, after going through a series of urgent privilege operations, Kaguya Rei had a brand new account in the underground black market with a book balance exceeding ten digits.

After appreciating the balance of his account in a happy mood and going to a nearby town to eat and drink, Kaguya Rei found an empty valley and began to experiment on how to get rid of the snakes. The Longdi Cave psychic technique that came out of his body came.

It stands to reason that the spells of psychic arts are essentially the same. It is only because the creatures that have made a contract with the caster are different, that all kinds of psychic beasts can be summoned from them. However, I use [First Attack] to brush them. The psychic technique that came out was specifically marked with the words "Longdi Cave"...

This made Kaguya Rei want to verify whether it limited the range of randomly summoned psychic beasts by the psychic technique to the snakes in Ryūchi Cave, or whether it directly stole Orochimaru and Ryūchi Cave when generating the skill. The psychic contract signed by the big snakes made him the summoner who signed the contract with Ryūchi Cave.

Although no matter what the outcome is, it will not affect Kaguya Rei's need to borrow the summoned Ryūchi Cave creature to lock the location of Ryūchi Cave, the holy land of magic.

"Psychic art."

Kaguya bit her index finger, slapped the ground with her bloody palm, and activated her chakra in the same way as the psychic technique.

The black psychic formation quickly unfolded under his hand, and a huge smoke came out. Then, a huge shadow like a hill appeared in the smoke. At the same time, Kaguya Rei also heard a sound in his ears. An extremely violent hoarse voice,

"TNND, Orochimaru, are you tired of living? You summoned me out of nowhere and received a severe beating. If you don't prepare three times the number of sacrifices for me this time, you will wait for me to kill you-"

"Oh? What are you going to do to Orochimaru? Can you tell me more about it, Wan She?"

Looking at the purple horned snake hissing and swearing at Orochimaru in the dissipating smoke, Kaguya Rei whistled and asked with a smile.

First update, it would be great if we could keep updating at this time every day
