Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki - Chapter 276
c276 After the disaster
The newborn Naruto was only the size of a kitten. After being picked up by Shirataki, Naruto’s crying stopped abruptly, and his two sky-blue pupils stared at Shirataki curiously.
Shirataki quickly hugged Naruto and walked to Tsunade’s side, and said in a hoarse voice again, “Tsunade, we must cheer up! We are the only relatives of this child.” After hearing this, Tsunade, who was in a daze, Slowly looking up at Naruto in Shirataki’s arms, just when Shirataki was about to say something more, he suddenly felt a little itchy on his chest.
He quickly looked down and saw Naruto opening his mouth to eat. Seeing this scene, Shirataki thought of Kushina when he was a child, and suddenly couldn’t hold back the emotions in his heart and sobbed silently. Tears fell on Naruto’s cheeks, as if he felt Shirataki’s sadness, Naruto stopped sucking Shirataki’s chest and suddenly burst into tears.
Seeing this, Shirataki thought that he had accidentally hurt Naruto. He ignored his sadness for a moment and carefully checked Naruto’s condition. He knows best how strong he is. For a newborn child like this, if he is not careful, he can easily strangle the other person to death. Just when Shirataki carefully observed Naruto’s hands and feet, Naruto also stopped crying, and desperately grabbed Shirataki’s face with his two small hands.
Looking at the bewildered Shirataki, Tsunade couldn’t help bursting into laughter. Not to mention Tsunade, even Asuma and Kakashi couldn’t help but sneered. After all, Shirataki’s image is indeed quite funny now. , a shirtless macho man was being fooled around by a newborn child.
Shirataki glared at Kakashi and Asuma angrily, then helped Tsunade up with one hand and handed Naruto over to her. He turned to Kakashi and ordered, “Protect Naruto and Tsunade, I’ll take care of the Vulpix.” Before Kakashi and the other two could respond, Shirataki disappeared and waited until everyone found Shirataki again. , he had already flown hundreds of meters into the air, speeding towards Konoha.
On the commercial street, Vulpix was destroying nearby buildings wantonly. Everything it passed was corroded by the slime on its body. Even if it was rebuilt in the future, it would take a lot of effort. But the good news is that the civilians in this area have been evacuated long ago, and the remaining ones are all ninjas.
The Vulpix kept waving its six tails, throwing out a large amount of mucus, and hitting the ground with great force. With this monster as the center, the ground with a radius of several hundred meters was gradually covered with more and more mucus. There were cracks, and many ninjas fled in panic, like a group of ants at a loss in the face of a natural disaster.
Because of too much chakra consumption, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was hiding on the roof of a nearby building to recover, saw this and immediately shouted, “Get out! It’s going to release strong acid gas again!” In fact, he didn’t need to say that most ninjas had already started After retreating, after such a long battle, the weaker Jonin had already died, and even Morino Shinsuki and Yuhi Makou had been sacrificed. Therefore, those who survived were basically elites. These people would definitely be killed afterwards. Re-rating, of course, the premise is that you can survive to the end.
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, Shirataki was like a falling meteor, streaking towards Vulpix’s head.
Boom. Boom. Due to the speed, everyone only saw bright lights in the night sky, and then something hit the top of Vulpix’s head. Suddenly, sand and rocks flew up and the earth shook. And Vulpix also became silent after this sudden change.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, everyone looked at the field and saw that Vulpix had completely stopped moving. His entire head had disappeared, and was replaced by a shirtless young man who was slowly standing up. I saw that the right half of the young man’s body was severely corroded, and even the bones under the muscles were vaguely visible, and a large amount of blood was scattered all over the floor.
Just when most people sadly thought that this young man would die, an unheard of ultra-high-purity chakra surged out of his body, and the corroded muscles began to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to their original state in the blink of an eye. . At this time, a small number of ninjas in the field had already recognized the young man’s identity. Sarutobi Hiruzen asked loudly, “Shirataki, what’s going on with Kyuubi? Do you need our support?” Not only was the physical exertion too much, but also the investigation Sarutobi Hiruzen’s voice was hoarse due to excessive carat consumption.
Shirataki raised his head and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen on the roof. After thinking for a while, he said, “It has been taken care of over there. The specific situation will be told to you when Asuma and the others come back.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t ask any further questions. He nodded lightly towards Shirataki, then sat down, called Shikaku and others to him, and began to give some instructions in a low voice.
Shirataki didn’t stay any longer. After glancing thoughtfully in the direction of the Hokage Building, he jumped into the air and flew towards the direction where Tsunade and the others were coming.
Standing on the rooftop of the Hokage Building, Danzo seemed to notice Shirataki’s eyes before leaving, and his face suddenly turned ugly, but then he seemed to have thought of something happy and left the Hokage Building with a smile on his face.
The noisy night finally ushered in the long-lost light. When the sun rose, Konoha Hidden Village once again glowed with endless vitality.
The dead ninjas were collected and buried in the cemetery. The civilians whose homes were destroyed also received a large amount of compensation. Under the command of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the destroyed buildings also began to be repaired as soon as possible.
Naruto was taken away by Shirataki and Tsunade. The two did not return to the cabin, but returned to the mansion that had been unoccupied for a long time.
At the same time, the atmosphere at the top of the village became increasingly tense. While Sarutobi Hiruzen sent ANBU to investigate the reason for the appearance of the Six-Tails and the masked man who was suspected of being able to control the Nine-Tails, he summoned Koharu, Mito Kaden and Danzo Shimura!
“Hiruzhan, you summoned us in the name of Hokage! Could it be that the Fourth Generation has returned?” Danzo was very imposing and aggressive when he arrived.
“Danzo, you…” Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to get mad when an ANBU ninja suddenly appeared.
“Elders’ meeting, who allowed you to come in!” Danzo shouted coldly to the ANBU ninja, emphasizing the word “elder” to imply that Sarutobi Hiruzen should not forget that everyone is an elder advisor now, and no one is nobler than the other!
The ANBU ninja half-knelt on the ground and said solemnly, “Sandai, it’s bad! The latest information just received is that Kumogakure has invaded!”
“What?!” Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up suddenly.
“How is that possible?” Koharu and Mito Kadoyan looked at each other in confusion, their expressions extremely ugly.
Danzo pretended to be dissatisfied and snorted, “Huh! The top priority is to get the Fourth Generation to deal with Kumogakure!”
After turning to bed, Koharu also quickly asked, “Hiruzhan, where are the four generations? So many things have happened, he must stand up!”
“There is also the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki Kushina. Although she did not appear in the village last night, she went berserk!” Danzo said coldly, “Tailed beasts are our important combat power. If it is so easy to go berserk, I suggest Change the environment to control it!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen slapped the table and stood up and roared, “Duanzo! Don’t be such a disgusting person! There’s no way you don’t know about Minato and Kushina’s situation! Now the Kyuubi is in Shirataki’s hands. If you have any objections, Go tell him yourself!”
“Hiruzen, it’s best not to talk nonsense without evidence, so as not to affect the unity of the village!” Danzo interrupted him, and continued confidently, “The fourth generation disappeared, Kumogakure invaded, hehehehe, everyone, I suggest that the election be held now The Fifth Hokage!”
Xiao Chun and Mito Kaden who didn’t know the situation were confused. Mito Kaden couldn’t help but asked, “Hiruzen, what happened to the Yondaime and the Jinchuuriki?” Ko Chun who was transferred to the dormitory also looked curious. He looked towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had no intention of hiding it. He called a few people here today just to deal with this matter, and even then told them the news of Minato and Kushina’s death in battle.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a dark face, “The top priority is to deal with Kumogakure. If the news of Minato’s death is made public now, it will seriously affect morale. You must not elect the fifth generation at this time!”
“It’s not up to you.” Danzo looked at Kochun and Mito Kadoyan who had gone to bed and said, “Kochun, Kadoyan, you also know that in a village without shadows, where does the military spirit come from? Where does the morale come from? There is no shadow in the village. Under the leadership, how can we defeat the powerful enemy?” Koharu and Mito Kadoyan looked at each other and fell silent.
“During the war, Orochimaru was the undoubted core figure. Now that Kumogakure has invaded and the war is about to begin, we need Orochimaru’s leadership! Therefore, I recommend Orochimaru to become the fifth generation!” Danzo shouted loudly. .
Sarutobi Hiruzen clenched his fists. The situation is now unclear. Danzo and Orochimaru are stirring up the storm inside. Kumogakure is powerfully invading outside, Iwagakure still has the energy to join the battle, an unidentified masked man, and an unknown situation. of Kirigakure. Konoha can be said to have affected the whole body with a single move. At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to doubt whether Danzo’s loyalty to Konoha had changed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed an old politician. After suppressing his anger, he quickly understood the situation he was facing. So he quickly found an outlet to release the pressure. Although he had only heard Asuma and Kakashi mention it, and even he himself was not sure, Sarutobi Hiruzen still planned to use the Uchiha clan’s “Nine-Tails” The loss of control was caused by being controlled by a masked man. This masked man should be a member of the Uchiha clan. He used the illusion of the Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails!”
Danzo sneered and said, “Since the Uchiha clan is involved in this matter, we must investigate to the end. I have long said that this clan is the biggest source of instability in the village and should be eradicated as soon as possible!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen gritted his teeth and said, “I believe that only a few people from the Uchiha clan are involved, so we must not pursue it with great fanfare!” Then Sarutobi Hiruzen set aside a piece of land in the most remote corner of the village for the Uchiha clan, and asked ANBU to supervise it. The other party moved his whole family to facilitate the supervision and investigation of the ANBU.
Danzo immediately took advantage of the opportunity and said, “I suggest restarting the Roots. The Uchiha clan will leave it to me to monitor the Roots. The village is still being rebuilt, and war is coming. The ANBU will definitely not have enough manpower!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not quarrel with Danzo, and nodded happily and agreed to Danzo’s request. Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen said while the iron was hot, “Before the end of the war, I will temporarily take over the political affairs of the village until the war.” We will elect the fifth generation after it’s over!”
Danzo had no objection to this. Without Namikaze Minato, as long as Orochimaru made no mistakes on the battlefield, the position of the fifth generation was basically a certainty, and he already had an amazing plan in his mind, which was to assassinate the monkey. Flying Rinzhan!
After nightfall, Sarutobi Hiruzen quietly came to Shirataki’s mansion. Tsunade hugged Naruto and watched the two of them walk into the study with worry on their faces.
After the two sat down respectively, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to chat with Shirataki. Seeing that Shirataki did not respond, but looked at him with an expression of “if you have something to say, just say it”, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped talking and turned around. And talking about what happened today.
