Chapter 144 The Fifth Kazekage Plan (Please subscribe and vote)

Taking the initiative to tell others what to do not only sounds like a father figure, but it also arouses a lot of resistance and suspicion.

Besides, what is given willingly is never as precious as what is asked for.

Xuan under the tree wasn't in a hurry at all.

After Yecang replenished his strength and calmed down a bit, he led her away from the cave and headed towards the Land of Fire.

"Are we going to Konoha?"

Ye Cangming asked the question knowing the answer already.

Xuan Yi asked from under the tree, "Do you have anywhere else to go?"

"If you have it, that's fine too."

Ye Cang looked slightly bewildered and then shook his head.

She can't go back to Sunagakure for the time being, Kirigakure wants to kill her, Iwagakure is fighting Sunagakure, and Kumogakure just finished fighting Sunagakure.

Of course, the ninja world is vast.

But should I become a homeless person?
Yekura was unwilling to accept this.

Then let's go to Konoha. Perhaps we can use Konoha's power to return to the village and wipe out all those corrupt guys.

Upon hearing this idea, Yekura immediately felt it was a feasible method and began to think quickly: "How can we borrow the power of Konoha?"

"The higher-ups in Konoha won't help me for no reason, but if I betray the village's interests, then what difference is there between me and those bastards like Rasa?"

"Then what else do I have that would make Konoha give up for me?"

Ye Cang thought about it for a long time but still couldn't find an answer, and couldn't help but recall what he had said before.

"Heh, you really overestimated yourself!"

Yekura couldn't help but feel a little self-deprecating.

Previously, there was no need to think about these things; one only needed to rely on one's strength to complete tasks, safeguard the interests of the village, and protect one's companions and the village.

Yekura had always felt that she was strong enough, and had even been a candidate for the Fourth Kazekage at one point.

Only now do I realize how insignificant one person's power is.

"I'm so...incompetent!"

Yecang clenched his fist, his nails almost piercing the skin of his palm.

Just then, Genichi's voice came from under the tree: "Have you made up your mind?"

Ye Cang asked instinctively, "What?"

Genichi turned his head slightly under the tree: "Should we go to Konoha?"

"However, even if you go to Konoha, you cannot join the village. You can only stay in Konoha temporarily as a political asylum seeker."

"And we cannot reveal that you are in Konoha."

Political asylum seekers must remain hidden.

Ye Cang felt a chill in his heart and quickly asked, "Why?"

Genichi Shushita stopped and turned around to look at the beautiful woman. He pointed to his eyes and said, "You need to learn to broaden your horizons. You can't just focus on Sunagakure."

"Konoha is currently at war with three ninja villages at the same time: Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure. If your affairs are exposed, Sunagakure will find an excuse to start a war."

"This is not good for Konoha."

"Besides, you don't think my mission is to save you, do you?"

Yekura was silent for a moment, then said, "Your mission is to sabotage the peace talks between Sunagakure and Kirigakure, right?"

Xuan nodded under the tree: "That's right."

"Peace talks between Sunagakure and Kirigakure are not in our best interest."

"I just never expected to run into you."

“I have a similar background to you, so I don’t want someone who protects the village to die because of dirty politics and compromises.”

"So, I made the decision to save you without authorization."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang felt a warmth spread through her broken heart. After a moment of silence, she said, "Thank you, and I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

But then she realized that she didn't know the name of the person in front of her, and couldn't help but ask, "I still don't know who you are?"

Genichi smiled and said, "You should have heard of my name."

"My name is... Genichi Kishita!"

As he spoke, the Sharingan with three tomoe appeared in his right eye.

Ye Cang was stunned. Looking at the man in front of him who was even taller than himself, he couldn't compare to the legendary eleven or twelve-year-old genius boy.

But this kind of thing doesn't seem to require lying.

and so……

Yekura opened her mouth: "This... is really unbelievable."

"I... I have indeed heard of your name. After all, you were praised by the Third Raikage of Kumogakure as a genius of genjutsu who surpasses the Uchiha clan."

"The Third Mizukage has even offered a bounty of 5 million taels for you."

"only……"

For a moment, Yekura didn't know how to express her feelings.

Genichi Shushita turned around and continued walking forward, saying, "With my status, I can temporarily let you take refuge in Konoha."

"You also have enough time to think about the future."

Ye Cang nodded behind him, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "If, and I mean if, you were also used as a sacrifice by the village's higher-ups like me, what would you do?"

Genichi chuckled under the tree: "You learn very quickly, that's good."

"However, my approach is not suitable for you."

"Of course, I can still answer your question, just as a reference for you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang quickly quickened his pace, changing from following behind to walking alongside Genichi Kinoshita, while keeping an eye on Genichi Kinoshita's profile out of the corner of his eye.

Genichi Shushita glanced at Yekura slightly and said, "No need for 'ifs'."

“I remember telling you before that I have the same status as you, and someone once threatened my family.”

Yecang was taken aback, never expecting that Genichi Kinoshita would have such an experience, and then couldn't wait to ask, "How did you do it?"

Genichi Shushita grinned: "Hehe, when I found out, I rushed straight to that person, knocked down all his subordinates, and beat him up in front of them."

“I originally wanted to kill him, but then I gave up.”

"The Hokage arrived just in time, so he was released."

"However, he was still stripped of all his positions by the Hokage, well, at least on the surface."

Ye Cang frowned: "Why didn't you kill him?"

"After that situation, he must have been extremely jealous of you!"

Genichi smiled and said, "Because he is no longer a threat to me."

"Besides, killing him would be too easy, and killing him would be too lenient on him."

"So I want to ruin his reputation, make him lose all hope, and let him die in despair and resentment, so that revenge will be satisfying."

Looking at the man's smile, Ye Cang couldn't help but shiver. Only after refining his chakra and circulating it through his meridians did he feel a sense of security. But upon closer reflection, he realized that this method was indeed not suitable for him.

In terms of strength alone, it's not allowed.

"I never expected something like this to happen in Konoha."

Yekura couldn't help but sigh, "Perhaps every village has such darkness within it."

Remembering what Genichi had said before, she quickly asked, "Have you thought about changing these things?"

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "Of course."

"Killing is the simplest method, but it destroys everything."

"So changing these things requires a little patience and a little skill."

Then he suddenly asked, "Do you think I can become Hokage?"

Yecang nodded, but then shook his head: "The Fourth Hokage is probably impossible, isn't it?"

"You are too young."

Then she realized: "You want to become Hokage to change all this?"

Genichi Shushita shook his head: "Just as you said, my age is a disadvantage, and it's impossible for me to become Hokage in a short time."

"Therefore, the best way is to let the fourth generation be assigned to the right person."

Yekura was shocked by Genichi Kinoshita's audacity, and then seemed to be deep in thought.

Who will be chosen to control the next Kazekage?
But so much time has passed, and Luo Sha is now very young.

Moreover, given my current situation, it's impossible for me to do that.

If Rasa dies, will I be able to become the Fifth Kazekage?
Yekura reconsidered the problem.

But putting aside whether Rasa is dead or not, can someone who suddenly disappears and then suddenly reappears become the fifth generation?

If possible... how do I get rid of Rasa?
Yecang couldn't help but turn to look at Genichi under the tree, feeling as if the problem had returned.

How can she use the power of Konoha to defeat Rasa?

Given the current situation, Konoha cannot afford to take any risks.

Unless there are sufficient benefits.

But Yekura didn't want to betray the village's interests.

Are there any other methods?

Yekura suddenly thought of something.

That is, Kirigakure proposed that Sunagakure join in attacking Konoha, and it is precisely because of this that she had no suspicion of Kirigakure.

Yecang suddenly had a sudden realization.

If... if this peace talks and alliance with Kirigakure can continue, then Sunagakure will definitely attack Konoha.

When Konoha faces an attack from four ninja villages at the same time, the situation will definitely be very difficult.

At that time, she will use the retreat of Sunagakure and the alliance with Konoha as leverage to return to Sunagakure and become the Fifth Kazekage.

Will the village still negotiate an alliance with Kirigakure?
Ye Cang couldn't help but analyze it to himself.

Genichi noticed the change in Yekura's expression and couldn't help but smile to himself, knowing that Yekura had realized what was going on.

He hadn't told Yekura about the Sunagakure leadership's plan to ally with Kirigakure to attack Konoha, hoping Yekura would figure it out herself.

It wouldn't matter if Sunagakure didn't tell Yokura this.

We can just wait a while.

When Sunagakure attacks Konoha, Pakura will still be able to react in time.

As for whether Sunagakure will attack Konoha.

Genichi Shushita felt that this possibility was extremely high.

Even if Sunagakure doesn't attack Konoha, they can always find other excuses later.

In short, the initiative is in your own hands.

……

After passing through the Land of Rivers and entering the Land of Fire, Genichi Koushi no longer traveled leisurely. Instead, he took Yekura and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to fly directly back to Konoha.

His accommodation was in his bedroom.

"here it is……"

Yekura was shocked by Genichi's speed.

Xuan Yi said from under the tree, "This is my bedroom. You can stay here for now."

"Also, take this off."

Genichi pointed to Yekura's ninja headband.

"Yes."

Yekura immediately removed her headband.

Xuan Yi left a shadow clone under the tree and then instantly disappeared.

Hokage's office.

After Genichi Kinoshita reported on the mission, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately felt immense pressure: "So, Genichi, do you believe that Sunagakure will definitely attack the Land of Fire in the future?"

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "Yes."

"The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Sun Village share common interests. This operation can only postpone their alliance and cannot change the final outcome."

"Of course, we still have time to prepare. The Sand Village needs to deal with the Iwa ninja before they have the strength to attack us."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then asked, "What do you think of that Yokura?"

Genichi Shushita said directly, "She would be a very good candidate for the Fifth Kazekage."

"Moreover, this Fifth Kazekage is close to us."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze sharpened: "Should we support her to become the Fifth Kazekage?"

"It is indeed a very good idea, but it cannot be proposed by us."

Genichi immediately replied, "The Hokage is right. I will guide him step by step."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction: "Then let her stay in the village for the time being. You can arrange this."

Genichi under the tree readily agreed, then took his leave.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took puffs of his cigarette.

Tsunade is the most suitable candidate for the next Hokage.

Then came Minato, followed by the younger Genichi Kinoshita and Kakashi.

As for his two sons, Hiruzen Sarutobi never even considered it.

The eldest son, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, was naturally also excellent, but Minato Namikaze, who was older than him, was even more outstanding, and Genichi Kinoshita, who was younger, was also more remarkable.

As for his youngest son, Sarutobi Asuma, there was no need to consider him at all.

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought that there was a worthy successor, and one who was so outstanding, and the pressure from Sunagakure instantly disappeared by more than half.

Given the situation of Sunagakure, what makes it comparable to Konoha?
