Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki - Chapter 277

c277 The Third Hokage

“Shikaku, Choza and Haiichi have already led the ninja army to the north. With Shikaku leading it, resisting Kumogakure shouldn’t be a problem.” When Sarutobi Hiruzen was discussing with Danzo, Koharu and Mito Kadeni, Nara Shikaku set off for the north. Kumogakure’s invasion was no joke, and Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t dare to take it lightly.

“This evening, the Uchiha clan has begun to move as a whole. The clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, is also very cooperative and has no complaints. It seems that he doesn’t have much resistance, but he still can’t find who the masked man is.”

Hearing this, Shirataki completely lost his patience. He didn’t want to care about these things, so he immediately interrupted, “You know I don’t like to care about these things. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I still have to go sleep with Naruto. ”

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately said, “After this incident, I found that my strength has declined too much. Now, the only one who can really take charge in the village is you.” Speaking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face showed There was a hint of loneliness on his face, “You should stay in the village from now on. If there is no top expert in the village, the war will break out again at any time!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked up to Shirataki and knelt down on the ground. The old man lowered his proud head and said in a trembling tone, “Just think of me as begging you, Uzumaki Shirataki! The village cannot live without us now.” Your seat!”

Shirataki looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in surprise. He really didn’t expect that the other party would go to such an extent. He couldn’t help but stretched out his hand to help Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said softly, “I will stay.” At this point, Shirataki rarely spoke to him. Sarutobi Hiruzen joked, “Sandai, do you think I will take Naruto to wander? Hahaha”

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at Shirataki. He didn’t expect Shirataki to agree to his request so easily. He couldn’t help but laughed along with Shirataki. “Hahahahaha” Tsunade who was standing outside the door heard the two of them. After the laughter, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and walked towards the room with the sleepy Naruto in his arms.

“Hahaha Shirataki, do you support me to continue to be Hokage?” Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped smiling and said the second purpose of this visit, “There are no suitable candidates in the village now, Jiraiya, Tsunade Neither I nor you want to take on this important responsibility, and Danzo and Orochimaru are people with obvious ambitions. I need to stand up again and shoulder this important responsibility until Kakashi and Asuma grow up. ”

Shirataki did not respond immediately, but thought carefully. There is indeed no one in Konoha who is qualified for the position of Hokage. Regardless of whether Sarutobi Hiruzen has selfish motives or not, what he said is true. After some thought, Shirataki said in a deep voice, “I don’t know whether you should continue to be Hokage, Sandai. I can only guarantee that Naruto will not be used by some people!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen left Shirataki’s mansion late at night. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the mansion, Kaima, Kakashi and Asuma, who had been waiting nearby, immediately appeared to protect Sarutobi Hiruzen as he headed towards Go to the Sarutobi clan’s clan.

On the way, Asuma curiously asked, “Old man, are you going to see the daimyo tomorrow?” Sarutobi Hiruzen did not respond, but took a puff of his cigarette lightly, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Huma immediately said, “Sandai, just in case, please send more ANBU to escort you.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, “Just let Kakashi’s team escort me, and the rest will stay in the village to help.”

Root headquarters after reboot. Danzo summoned outstanding ninjas and then issued an order to assassinate Sarutobi Hiruzen! Although we have been friends for so many years, in the face of absolute power, this friendship eventually dimmed.

A stood among the root ninjas wearing a mask. Like other root ninjas, he did not disobey Danzo’s order at all, even if the order was to kill the Third Hokage!

Danzo waved them to get ready, leaving A alone. After A took off his mask, he revealed a childish face. He was about ten years old. Although he was young, he was already a member of Danzo by relying on the Wood Release Ninjutsu he had practiced hard. A well-hidden subordinate!

“A, there is no room for error in this attack, but you must also be prepared for failure. Once your ability is revealed, it will inevitably attract the attention of the village. When the time comes, you must be mentally prepared!” Danzo said.

“Danzo-sama, I will never leave my roots!” A kneeled down on one knee and said loudly.

“Very good, I believe you can become the strongest one among the roots!” Danzo showed a smile.

“Yes!” A was encouraged and couldn’t help but feel happy.

“Go, get ready and set off at dawn!” Danzo waved his hand.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who returned home, began to prepare his speech when he went to see the daimyo tomorrow. Not long after, Kakashi and other ANBU arrived.

He looked outside and saw that the sky was already getting slightly brighter.

At this time, Shirataki walked out of the room with Naruto in his arms. Every time Shirataki hugged him, little Naruto would be very happy.

Shirataki thought Naruto had some kind of blood connection with him, but little did he know that children just like to be lifted high, and being picked up by Shirataki, who is more than two meters high, is the child’s favorite flying game.

The little Naruto huddled in his swaddling clothes, waving his limbs dishonestly, making unexplained noises with his mouth open, his eyes moving and very lively.

Seeing that he was following Kushina’s temper, Shirataki stretched out a finger to tease Naruto. Naruto immediately stretched out his fleshy little hand to grab the finger, and then shook it hard, as if he wanted to take the finger off and use it as his own. Toy.

Not long after, Tsunade also walked out of the room slowly, watching the whole family having a great time, and he quickly joined in. The laughter of the three people could be heard intermittently in the mansion.

The sun was scorching, in the capital of the Fire Country, Hiruzen Sarutobi was having cordial talks with the daimyo. Upon hearing the death of the fourth generation, the latter directly agreed to Hiruzen Sarutobi’s request to come back and appointed him as the new leader of Konoha Ninja Village. . After talking about business, Sarutobi Hiruzen left the Daimyo’s mansion, leaving ANBU behind.

On his way to the capital of Fire Country, Sarutobi Hiruzen encountered an assassination, but fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen remained calm in the face of danger. With his powerful five-element ninjutsu, he defeated the assassinating ninja steadily, and successfully captured him after a hard-fought battle. Killed two of the assassination ninjas. During this period, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others also discovered something surprising, that is, one of these assassins could use Wood Release. The first generation of Wood Release swept across the entire ninja world and was called a god. Now that Wood Release has reappeared, how come Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kakashi and others are not horrified. As a result, Kakashi hung behind the Wood Release user and chased after him.

Panting, A walked quickly through the dense forest, releasing wood escape from time to time to create a large number of traps for Kakashi, but unfortunately, for Kakashi at this time, these wood escape traps had no effect.

“Thunder Release, Raikiri!” Kakashi quickly broke through the Wood Release with a Raikiri move, and approached A. Then he turned over in the air and landed beautifully in front of A. “You! You can’t escape!”

“You shouldn’t be old. Who are you?” Kakashi’s strength is close to the shadow level, and he is basically crushed among his peers. If it were not to save the opponent’s life, he would have completed the task long ago. Kakashi looked at A, and from the gasping sounds and his height, he inferred that the other person was probably younger than him!

Without saying a word, A grabbed the kunai and rushed forward. But in Kakashi’s eyes, A’s attack was full of flaws. After a few rounds, he knocked the opponent to the ground and rubbed him. After taking off A’s mask, Kakashi’s eyes gradually narrowed.

“Kill me!” Although A was young, he was very strong-willed and stared at Kakashi.

“No, I won’t kill you!” Kakashi said slowly, “You are a ninja of Konoha after all. Your Wood Release will come in handy one day sooner or later.”

A looked at Kakashi in disbelief, “You really won’t kill me?” Assassinating the Third Hokage is a capital crime. The other party actually chose to let him go, which shattered his outlook on life. His mind was naturally shocked. . Inexplicably, he remembered the scene when Orochimaru was placed in a petri dish in a test tube when he was a child. He shuddered suddenly, then gritted his teeth, got up and ran away.

“Wait a minute, tell me your name!” Kakashi asked.

A paused, hesitated for a moment and then shouted loudly, “I don’t have a name, just call me A.”

“I understand.” Kakashi nodded slightly, then turned and left.

After arriving at the capital of the Country of Fire, Kakashi reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi about A, and said firmly, “Hokage-sama, I think we should take A out from the root! He is still young. If he is left to Teacher Shirataki to train him, In a few years, his Wood Release will become famous throughout the ninja world!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded, “Don’t worry, we have captured two prisoners this time. After returning to the village, we can interrogate the mastermind and find out the mastermind. Then…” He couldn’t wait to go back, whether it was to take up the position of Hokage again, or to Whether he got the support of Shirataki or discovered the existence of A, no matter what happened, he was extremely excited.

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately ordered, “Go back to the village immediately!”

After rushing back to Konoha in a hurry, Sarutobi Hiruzen sullenly handed over the two prisoners of the assassination to the ANBU Torture Department. He wanted to get irrefutable evidence of the mastermind in the shortest possible time! After returning from the Land of Fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have aged a few years. His temples were turning gray, and patches of age spots began to appear on his face.

As soon as the sky turned dark, a large group of uninvited guests came to the underground headquarters of Genbu. The leader was naturally the ANBU commander Huoma. Seeing him, Danzo didn’t resist, and cooperatively signaled the ninjas at the base to put down their weapons and stop struggling. Huima did not dare to be careless. After arresting everyone, including Danzo, he personally led people to search the root headquarters. But Danzo had already transferred all the negative information, and what was left here was all positive information about Danzo doing good things for the village. After scraping the ground for three feet and searching for nothing, Kaima could only report the positive information to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In front of Danzo’s holding cell, Koharu, who was transferred to the dormitory, and Mito Monen were already standing on both sides like door gods.

“Koharu, Men Yan, why are you here?” Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned when he saw the two of them, “Did Danzo inform you to rescue him?”

“Hiruzen, what on earth did Danzo do that you want to imprison him?” Koharu asked when he went to bed.

“I heard that even the roots were confiscated. Hiruzen, do you know what you are doing?” Mito Kadoyan took a step forward.

Although they both sided with Hiruzen Sarutobi on some major political matters, it was undeniable that they did not want Danzo to suffer at this time. After all, if Danzo stepped down, the balance between them would also be affected. will be broken.

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, “I will personally interrogate Danzo later, and you can watch from the outside!” After saying that, he walked straight past the two of them, pushed the door open and entered the interrogation room. After moving to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan looked at each other, then came to the interrogation room again and looked at the situation inside through the glass of the iron door.
