Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

Chapter 128: Betrayed by All, Everyone Wants Hiruzen Sarutobi to Die

Not just Konoha,

When Hiruzen Sarutobi's inner thoughts were played out, many ninjas from other villages were also dumbfounded.

For ninjas and ninja villages

The shadow is not only a symbol of power, representing supreme status, but also the pinnacle of strength.

The Hidden Mist Village, also known as the Village of Blood Mist, places the inheritance of the Shadows solely on strength; only the strongest are worthy of this title.

Other ninja villages wouldn't be so blatant.

However, everyone assumed that only the strongest ninjas who had reached a certain level of strength were qualified to compete for that position.

Of the five Kage throughout history, with the exception of the sixth Mizukage who wishes to remain anonymous, not a single one was weak.

Almost all of them fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Needless to say, even a Jonin has taken hundreds of lives.

One shadow was afraid of battle, and a seasoned and supreme expert was actually afraid of battle?

It's like saying a very fat person is actually anorexic. What kind of low-level joke is that?

But the facts clearly tell them that this is indeed the case.

Paintings cannot lie, videos cannot be faked, and the world has no motive to slander a piece of trash.

"Although it's shocking and absurd, upon reflection, one has to admit that Hiruzen Sarutobi truly feared battle."

Since becoming Hokage, he has never participated in a single major battle, always remaining in Konoha as a 'guardian'.

Even during the critical battle at Kikyo Mountain, they were still 'sitting in' Konoha. It's truly laughable.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi was a great Hokage. If it weren't for him, our village would be in a much worse state, haha."

"So that's how it is. No wonder they were so strict with their ninja army before the battle, forbidding them from retaliating, for fear of provoking or angering the enemy."

They were trying to offer various forms of compensation and beg for a ceasefire even though they had already gained the upper hand, when the war was only halfway through.

What do you mean by the lives of your comrades, and the countless sacrifices made for the village and for victory?

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you @#￥%u0026, I u0026%￥#@, I'm fucking @#￥%u0026%￥#@."

"This guy is really good at disguising himself. If it weren't for the painting revealing his true feelings, everyone would probably think he died a tragic death."

"Now I understand why the Hokage dared to be so arrogant back then. He knew all along that Hiruzen Sarutobi was all bark and no bite and wouldn't dare to actually do it."

……

Danzo Shimura (the spirit of the dead):

"That's not right. Back in the Land of Lightning, when we were surrounded by the Gold Horn and Silver Horn forces..."

When the teacher asked who was willing to stay behind, weren't you the first one to step forward?

It was because of your courage to sacrifice and take responsibility that you were ultimately chosen as the Third Hokage.

Is it...

Sarutobi Hiruzen, you hypocritical scoundrel, you've fooled me for decades!

They even said you are the leaf bathed in sunlight, and I am the root buried deep in the ground, bearing the darkness of the village and providing nourishment for the great tree.

You're just trying to trick me into working for you for free. It's laughable that I've been baited for half my life by a mere Hokage title, and I still haven't woken up on my deathbed.

Danzo Shimura (the spirit of the dead):

"No wonder you tolerated and let go of something as trivial as me sending someone to assassinate you, and didn't even pursue the matter in the end."

I was on tenterhooks for a long time afterward, but it turns out you're a complete coward.

Without me doing those dirty things for you, you wouldn't be able to manage at all; you might not even be able to sit still.

"Hahaha, ridiculous, truly ridiculous. I thought I was ruthless enough, but I never imagined I wasn't ruthless enough. If I had half the guts of Uehara Shimei, I'd probably be Hokage by now."

Shimura Danzo (the ghost):

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm not so bad off after all?

Original Onoki:

"I told you long ago, if it weren't for the Yellow Flash's sudden rise to power, Konoha would have been destroyed by me."

Primal Third Generation Night Moon Ai (Undead):

"Where do you think he got the title of 'Hero of Endurance'? It's not that he's a hero of ninjas, but that he's really good at enduring. He's a hero of endurance, not just a hero of endurance."

……

Amidst the chaotic dance of demons in the barrage of comments,

The perspective on the scroll suddenly shifted from Hiruzen Sarutobi to show the reactions of the other people around him.

The first to be affected were the group of ANBU members who were watching the show from outside the barrier.

In terms of strength, to become an Anbu member, they must at least be among the best Chunin.

Especially the official Anbu, who are mostly Jonin or Special Jonin.

Chunin either possess special abilities, such as various bloodline limits or special skills related to sealing seals,

Or they have extraordinary potential, like Kakashi and Itachi Uchiha back in the day.

These people were already quite skilled before joining the Dark Division.

Not to mention that after entering the Dark Division, they will undergo special training and various targeted exercises.

It's fair to say that any one of them is no ordinary person.

In terms of loyalty,

The selection process for the secret service is extremely rigorous, involving countless checks. In stricter cases or during special periods, the selections may even be read and remembered.

If it is an important and secretive department,

Anyone with a pig's brain knows that once they're in, a lot of effort will be put into cultivating loyalty.

In terms of responsibilities,

Protecting the Shadow's safety is the most important function of the Dark Division, bar none.

As their direct subordinate, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also their immediate superior, the kind of person whose orders were absolute.

From any perspective, they seem to have no reason to stand idly by.

But they just stood by and did nothing.

No one attempted to break through the barrier, nor did anyone go to summon other ninjas for reinforcements.

They just stared at it, seemingly quite engrossed.

While watching, they also commented with great interest, as if they were explaining the video content to the audience.

"To be able to combine Fire Release and Earth Release, that's really impressive."

"Such powerful chakra."

"Could those two gentlemen be...?"

"That's right, the one with black hair is the First Hokage, and the one with white hair is the Second Hokage. They are the two Hokage who founded and built Konoha."

"What kind of ninjutsu is that?"

"The Impure World Reincarnation is a forbidden necromancy that resurrects the dead in this world. It is said that in order to accommodate the souls of the dead, a living person must be offered as a sacrifice to perform it."

"How is this possible? To actually unleash such a high-level Water Release technique (referring to the Second Hokage) in a place without water?"

"Is this the legendary Wood Release technique of the First Hokage who quelled the chaos of the world?"

……

And it wasn't just one ninja who did this; all the Anbu members were standing by and doing nothing.

Aside from sometimes sounding a little anxious, he didn't actually do anything.

Even those in the shadows outside the barrier are relatively slow to react.

Because they are intelligent.

The moment Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken hostage, he immediately ran to protect the daimyo and the audience.

Chapter 129 Kakashi: The strongest Hokage probably doesn't need rescue, right?

The camera only lingered on the person in the shadows for a short while.

After showcasing their mental state to the fullest, they quickly moved on to a new target.

This time, the target,

However, it was Kakashi and Might Guy, whom Hiruzen Sarutobi had been thinking about, who wanted them to come and save him.

Konoha is now in utter decline, with many powerful figures having perished.

Aside from the older generation like Jiraiya and Tsunade, these two are truly the top-tier powerhouses among the middle generation.

Might Guy inherited his father's Eight Gates Formation, and has long since surpassed his father in skill.

Even under normal circumstances, without damaging or overexerting the body, the first four gates possess the strength of an elite Jonin.

Once the seventh gate is opened, a significant number of Kage-level fighters will be able to hold their own.

Kakashi not only secretly possesses a Mangekyou Sharingan, but also the special nature transformation of Lightning Release: Purple Lightning.

Furthermore, he is proficient in all five elements and has copied over a thousand ninjutsu techniques.

In some ways, he's even more like a ninjutsu professor than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Don't underestimate this point, or think that it's something as simple as copying with the Sharingan.

In fact, this is precisely the true manifestation of his genius.

The Sharingan, once it reaches the three-tomoe stage, can copy other people's ninjutsu. This sounds like an incredibly overpowered ability.

But why has the Uchiha clan never produced a ninja like Kakashi?
