Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 198 Hokage, Hokage!

Hatake House

A tall, white-haired man in black home clothes was sharpening a knife alone in the yard.

Because the war was over, the entire ninja world was licking its wounds, and even the surrounding small countries had become peaceful. The amount of missions was greatly reduced. Kakashi did not receive any suitable missions and had to stay at home alone.

What can a twenty-eight-year-old man do at home?
With Might Guy away from Konoha, Kakashi seemed to have nothing to do.

Practice and sharpen the knife. Practice and sharpen the knife.

Kakashi's daily life seemed to be just like this.

Looking at the translucent blade in his hand, an emotion called "loneliness" emerged in his black and red eyes.

He subconsciously covered the scarlet Sharingan.

My vision is blurry...

Fighting for a long time, participating in several battlefields, and fighting with various masters, the Shenwei was used extremely frequently.

In his fights with the Eight-Tails and Kakuzu alone, he had used Kamui no less than six times.

The Mangekyō Sharingan is the power to step into darkness.

At this moment, in order to ensure his own combat effectiveness, before he knows how to deal with the Sharingan that is gradually fading into darkness, picking up his swordsmanship again seems to be Kakashi's only choice.

He picked up the short sword that had been polished to a translucent finish, and Kakashi's face was imprinted on the blade.

At this moment, as if he had sensed someone coming, Kakashi subconsciously pulled his mask back and looked in the direction of the person coming.

"Kakashi?"

Sasuke was a little surprised when he saw Kakashi sharpening his sword.

In his impression, Kakashi had never used a knife. Even if he taught him the White Fang Sword Technique, he only gave him a training scroll and asked him to ask him if he didn't understand something.

"Sasuke, why did you think of looking for me?"

Kakashi looked at the disciple in front of him, a rare hint of warmth in his eyes.

This child is different from Obito.

Unlike any other Uchiha.

"how?"

"Is it impossible for me to find my master?"

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and looked at Kakashi who was still sitting there and spoke.

"Well, then, my lovely disciple, have you run into any trouble that needs to be solved by me, your master?"

Seeing the boy in front of him pretending not to care, Kakashi smiled and spoke.

Tsk, this guy...

Sasuke was a little annoyed by Kakashi's teasing look, but he still spoke and told Kakashi everything that happened last night.

After hearing everything, Kakashi couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Danzo..."

Kakashi had no good feelings towards this person.

This person once used Tenzo's Wood Release to try to assassinate the Hokage, but fortunately he was unsuccessful.

and……

"Sasuke, don't trust that man."

"He has been corrupted by the darkness."

Kakashi put away the short sword in his hand, which made Sasuke look at him again.

"Do I look easy to fool?"

Sasuke asked back.

"Of course not. After all, Sasuke is my disciple."

Kakashi spoke against his will.

"How about it? Are you interested in playing with me?"

"I'm afraid that even Kakashi can't be my opponent now."

The master and disciple met again, and Sasuke was eager to try.

Even though Sasuke has not yet learned from Light how to combine skill with swift attack, he is confident that he can defeat Kakashi after learning the Lightning Release Ninja Technique.

After all, in Sasuke's impression, Kakashi has always been an ordinary senior ninja who can only be strong for three minutes and is on par with Zabuza.

At this moment, Sasuke not only possesses the Lightning Release Ninjutsu, but also the Mangekyō Sharingan and the White Fang Sword Technique.

Even without using the Mangekyō, Sasuke is confident that he can win.

Kakashi looked at the confident Sasuke in front of him, then looked at the whetstone in front of him.

"It seems that I have really been underestimated by my disciples."

"But it doesn't matter. My disciple's youthful vigor just needs a master like me to temper it."

Kakashi slowly stood up and drew his sword in front of Sasuke for the first time.

"Your sword is pretty good, but it's just an ordinary ninja tool. Do you want me to go to the Ninja Cat Clan and make a custom one for you, Kakashi?"

Sasuke also drew the long sword from his waist.

"Instead of making a new sword, I have a broken sword at home. If you can, please help me fix it."

Kakashi thought of the White Fang left to him by his father, which was broken during the Third Ninja World War. Taking this opportunity to recast the White Fang would be a good choice.

"Small things."

Sasuke leaned down slightly, with a hint of fighting spirit on his lips, and looked at the man in front of him with burning eyes.

Then, Sasuke got on.

……

Then, a knife was placed on Sasuke's neck.

"Well, it seems like I won?"

Kakashi's eyes curved into crescents as he looked at the boy in front of him with a smile who had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Tsk, if I win, I win. What's there to be proud of?"

Sasuke curled his lips and sheathed the ninja sword in his hand.

"Although it is a great sense of accomplishment for a master to be surpassed by his disciple, if he is surpassed so easily, wouldn't it make the master seem too incompetent?"

Kakashi ruffled Sasuke's hair, feeling a little emotional.

Of the three students, only Sasuke truly inherited his mantle.

It’s not that Kakashi is unwilling to teach, but Sakura and Naruto’s styles are really not compatible with him.

Besides, he must have a chance to teach these two...

As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto has so much chakra that even Kakashi cannot catch up with him.

This meant that Kakashi's fighting style was completely unsuitable for Naruto.

As for Sakura...

Forget it.

Hokage Building
Hokage's Office

Seeing that Sakura had honestly finished processing the documents in front of her, Mito Menyan couldn't help but touch the beard on his chin with satisfaction.

As Hiruzen was approaching retirement, he finally trained a qualified successor.

Apart from anything else, the speed in handling government affairs alone is several times faster than Hiruzen.

After finishing the last document, Sakura threw down the pen in her hand and couldn't help but stretch.

God bless her, Sakura actually felt the absurdity of completing her homework at this time.

When the old man comes back, Sakura will make sure he trains a group of government officials before he retires.

When the time comes, she can just go ahead and do it lightly, and don't bother her with trivial matters.

And this seat is a bit uncomfortable for my butt.

It’s so difficult to open a drawer on this desk that it needs to be replaced.

There are cracks all over the surrounding walls. Is this Hokage Building almost becoming a dangerous building?
Tear down and rebuild!
"Then I'll go first, don't call me if you have nothing else."

"Don't call me if you need anything."

Sakura said this and jumped out of the open window.

This made Mizuto Menyan smile helplessly.

"Tsk, this stinky girl."

Utane Koharu couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw Sakura being so rude.

As the next Hokage, how can you jump out of the window?
Where is the etiquette? Where is the solemnity? Where is the dignity of being a Hokage?

"Don't say that, Sakura is only thirteen."

Mizuto Menen shook his head, picked up the document that Sakura had just thrown out from the table and took a look at it.

This is the daily maintenance report of the barrier team.

Among them, Sakura specifically mentioned that the barrier class was not allowed to play poker during work. Playing cards would be fine, but the Hyuga class actually rolled their eyes and peeked at the cards, which showed a complete lack of competitive spirit.

So, is Sakura allowed to play poker at work?

Rain Country

Yuyin Village

Inside the central tower, all members of Akatsuki gathered together.

"Let me introduce you, this is our new member."

"Beiliuhu."

Payne looked at the people in front of him and spoke.

Standing next to him was a short boy with white hair, white clothes, red eyes, and a beautiful face...?
"This little kid looks pretty cute, huh!"

Deidara, who always has a bad mouth, looked at Hiruzen beside Pain, and he was still as bad-mouthed as ever.

"He will take Orochimaru's place and become our tenth man."

"But Sora-Chan's ring is still in Orochimaru's hands, so we need to find Orochimaru and take the ring from him."

"And by the way, get rid of this traitor."

"Who wants to go?"

Pein didn't care about Deidara's words and continued to speak.

"Oh, I'm not interested in this kind of thing."

Scorpion of the Red Sand spoke first.

Having lost the Third Kazekage and hundreds of puppets, his strength has dropped to a historic low. He now needs to quickly deal with the body of the Fourth Raikage that Zetsu secretly sent to him.

"That guy Orochimaru, the great evil god is not interested in cold-blooded reptiles."

Hidan, who was carrying the bloody three-hook sickle, scratched his ear.

"I go!"

"Let Orochimaru appreciate the art of explosion."

Deidara was the first to respond to Pain's mission.

Payne nodded when he heard this, then looked at the others.

"I'll go too."

Kisame, who was standing next to Uchiha Itachi, grinned, revealing his sharp teeth.

Uchiha Itachi, who was sitting next to Hoshigaki Kisame, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and was indifferent to all this.

"Itachi, you've fought Orochimaru before, do you have any suggestions?"

Pein looked at Uchiha Itachi who was staying out of the matter and spoke.

"...Winning, easy."

“But it can’t kill him.”

After being silent for a while, Uchiha Itachi spoke.

"what?"

"Are you scared?"

Deidara looked at Uchiha Itachi and raised an eyebrow.

Uchiha Itachi ignored this problem child whose mind was filled with only bombs.

"In that case, let Hiruko, Deidara, and Kisame go find Orochimaru."

Pain still agreed with Uchiha Itachi's evaluation of Orochimaru, and his words changed from "eradicate him" to "look for him".

"And one more thing."

Payne continued.

"About the plan to capture the tailed beasts."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Akatsuki members present perked up, and even Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes.

Only Beiliuhu watched all this coldly.

"Because the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Yagura Karuta, died in battle, the Three-Tails is now in the resurrection stage, and our plan has to be postponed."

"According to my prediction, it will take about three years for the Three-Tailed Fox to be resurrected."

"I hope that everyone can improve their strength during this period and prepare for the upcoming battle."

Pain's words were very calm, but the rest of the Akatsuki organization all became serious at the same time. If they wanted to capture all the tailed beasts, they would have to clash with the five major ninja villages.

You should know that among the nine tailed beasts, the Two-Tail and the Nine-Tail are in Konoha.

That means we have to have a head-on battle with the pink-haired girl who shines brightly in this war.

The other party would never sit idly by and watch their Two-Tail and Nine-Tail being captured.

In the face of Pink Hair's absolutely eye-catching performance, no one present dared to say that they could beat him.

Even confrontation is an extremely challenging task.

Especially Kakuzu.

Last time, he was chased by the pink-haired guy all the way from the Kingdom of Rivers to the Kingdom of Rain.

The Red Sand Scorpion was beaten so badly that he fled in a panic, not even caring about the Wind Shadow Puppet, and was left in Konoha.

This pink-haired girl is definitely an obstacle that the Akatsuki organization cannot avoid.

As the meeting ended, everyone in Akatsuki left with heavy hearts.

Beiliuhu also returned to his residence.

And at this moment, there was already someone waiting for him here.

Uchiha Obito.

"How to say."

Uchiha Obito has taken off his mask, revealing his true face.

“An ambitious organization.”

Bei Liuhu sneered, then leisurely sat down on a chair beside him.

"Who asked you that?"

"I mean, when can we start the Kiraya no Ya technique?"

Uchiha Obito looked calmly at the young man in front of him.

Yes, man.

The other party is already fifty years old, but still maintains a youthful appearance. This is all due to the Gui Luo Ya technique created by Beiluhu.

"The Kirayame Jutsu has been completed. Now we are waiting for the right bloodline limiter."

When Beiluhu heard the other party's words, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Beiliuhu had no choice but to cooperate with the other party.

After all, the Kirara Technique requires the five bloodline limits to be integrated into oneself in order to be completed.

Among the five bloodline limits, the Sharingan is really difficult to deal with.

Currently, the only owners of the Sharingan are Uchiha Obito in front of us, Uchiha Itachi in the Akatsuki organization, Kakashi Hatake of Konoha, and Uchiha Sasuke.

Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke are in Konoha.

Then Uchiha Obito in front of us is the most suitable candidate.

First, use him as a guinea pig to try out the newly-launched Ghost Bud Technique. If there is no problem, then I will practice the Ghost Bud Technique myself.

As for the issue of the Sharingan, Obito already had a backup plan.

Only after making sure that there is no problem with the Gui Luo Ya technique will Bei Liu Hu use it.

"The limit of blood inheritance..."

Uchiha Obito whispered.

Hiruko's suggestion to him was that in addition to his own Sharingan and Wood Release.

Then he combined the Swift Release, Steel Release, and Dark Release for him.

Swift Release can provide him with unparalleled speed, and Steel Release can provide him with a sufficiently hard and strong body.

These two can provide Uchiha Obito with strong enough frontal combat capabilities.

Dark Release provides the ability to transform the opponent's ninjutsu into one's own chakra and then counterattack.

"I think we can replace Dark Release with Storm Release."

At this time, Jue slowly emerged from underground.

"Ok?"

"why?"

Hokage and Uchiha Obito were not surprised by the appearance of Zetsu.

"Obito himself is not afraid of ninjutsu. Kamui can make him ignore ninjutsu. Combined with the so-called steel escape, ninjutsu has no effect on Obito at all."

"The Dark Escape is a bit redundant."

"On the contrary, Storm Release can provide Obito with a powerful means of attack."

Although Shenwei has been cracked, it does not mean that Shenwei has lost its effect. The ability to ignore attacks for five minutes is still a magical skill.

Beiluhu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"If that's what you think, of course you can, provided you catch a Storm Release Ninja."

Beiliuhu certainly knew the disadvantages of the Dark Escape technique.

I made this choice because I knew this.

If Uchiha Obito becomes too powerful in the future, Hiruzen will use this opportunity to weaken his combat power in advance.

Now it seems that this absolute is a bit of a hindrance.

We have to find a way to kill him.

"The Demon Gera Technique requires the celestial phenomenon of a golden ring solar eclipse. According to my estimate, it will appear in about a year."

"When the time comes, you just need to prepare the Swift Release Ninja, Steel Release Ninja, and Storm Release Ninja."

Beiluohu waved his hand.

"Don't worry about these."

Uchiha Obito nodded at what Hiruzen said.

And Jue watched all this silently.

Obito possesses a considerable amount of Hashirama's cells in his body. Things that are impossible for others to accomplish may not be possible for Obito.

The effect of Hashirama's cells has already been manifested in Uchiha Madara.

No matter how powerful and uncontrollable the force is, it will have to bow down before Hashirama's cells.

But these...Biluhu does not have.

"By the way, for future success, I need to do research."

Beiliuhu stood up and looked at Jue in front of him.

“I need research funding.”

Beiluhu didn't have any thoughts about this, after all, research was the most expensive thing.

This is why he is willing to cooperate with Uchiha Obito.

After all, in a sense, Black Zetsu has already controlled the Hidden Cloud Village.

"You can rest assured."

Jue nodded.

If there is a shortage of funds, just ask the Daimyo of the Thunder Country for money. As long as it can enhance the military strength of the Thunder Country, this Daimyo will never be stingy.

-

Seven days have passed in a flash.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also returned to Konoha from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and successfully brought back a large amount of research funds for chakra armor, as well as a reward for Konoha's victory in the Ninja World War again.

As the richest country in the ninja world, the Fire Country's Daimyo is naturally not stingy and is extremely generous.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had been away for less than half a month and had brought back billions of dollars.

The entire Konoha high-level leadership was grinning from ear to ear at Sarutobi Hiruzen's achievements.

Except for Sakura and Danzo.

Sakura is disgusted.

It turns out that the military expenditure of the strongest and largest country is only a few billion, and half of it is research funding. How stingy.

In the world of the previous life, a country's military expenditure of several billion would not even be enough to cover the gaps between teeth.

But thinking that this world is a ninja world, I can only accept it.

Fortunately, the war reparations from the Water Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom will arrive soon.

In this way, Sakura can also allow Sarutobi Hiruzen to immediately start training a team of governing personnel and law enforcement officers.

"Good job, Sakura."

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the government affairs that had been handled on the desk with satisfaction and nodded with satisfaction.

Young people are still the best. They can finish their day's work in less than half a day.

And the handling is well-reasoned and convincing.

There's just something wrong with it.

Every document contained Sakura's complaints about her subordinates' incompetence, saying that their boss had to do all the trivial matters.

These days, the entire Konoha ruling system has been scolded by Sakura, and everyone is trembling with fear and dare not make any mistakes.

I was afraid of angering the soon-to-be-appointed Hokage.

"Then you take care of these, old man. I should be leaving now."

Sakura curled her lips and felt a little unhappy when she saw Sarutobi Hiruzen finding fault with everything.

"Tsk, alright alright, if things don't go well with Naruto, Sakura can come back first."

"After all, there is no rush."

Now that the war was over, Kyuubi wasn't that important right now.

Sakura's excellent governing ability is even more needed in Konoha after the war.

"Are you trying to be lazy?"

Sakura saw through Sarutobi Hiruzen's little thoughts at a glance.

When I left, I was told that I could only handle official business for two hours a day, but I ended up working for half a day and was not allowed to leave until I had finished all my business.

"Uh, haha, well..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little embarrassed. Sakura was too familiar with him and he couldn't hide his little thoughts from her.

"Okay, I'm leaving now."

"Take care of yourself, old man."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who wanted to refute but couldn't say anything, Sakura waved her hand and rushed out of the window without any reluctance.

Looking at the pink-haired girl leaving, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head helplessly.

It was obviously a very well-behaved and cute kid when it was little, why is it that now that it has grown up, it likes to go out through the window?
Tsunade's personality is somewhat similar to Jiraiya's.

……

His dark eyes looked at the list of compensation and the list of grants from the Fire Country Daimyo in front of him, and his hands, which were covered with age spots, clenched tightly.

Then he slammed it hard on the desk!

mine!

mine!

This money was originally mine!
Tens of billions!
If I had this money, the roots would grow several times bigger again!
A gloomy look appeared in Shimura Danzo's eyes.

But even so, he could do nothing about it.

He is not the Hokage, and the next Hokage seems to have nothing to do with him.

"Somebody come!"

At Shimura Danzo's command, a Root member appeared in front of him and knelt down respectfully.

"Head to the Fire Country Daimyo!"

Now the throne of the Fifth Hokage seems to have nothing to do with him at all.

He is already seventy years old. If he cannot become the Fifth Hokage, he can only wait for the Sixth Hokage.

However, the successor to the Fifth Hokage is that guy Haruno Sakura.

Haruno Sakura is only thirteen years old now. How can he outlast this young Hokage?

No matter how hard he tries to stay healthy, he can't outlast her!
Now the only way out is to take a radical approach and save the country from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and stop Haruno Sakura from being nominated for Hokage.

and……

A hint of gloom appeared in Shimura Danzo's eyes.

if you can……

It would be better if this damn pink-haired guy died on the way back to Konoha from Turtle Island!

Danzo Shimura stood up and strode out!
Naruto...

Naruto...

The Hokage who was once only one step away from him!

Why is it so hard to have nowadays!

I am the Hokage!
Only I can lead Konoha to its former glory!

Only I am qualified to become Hokage!
Teacher Tobirama!

You made a mistake in choosing Hiruzen!
Now, let me prove everything!
