Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 227 Akihara Kagura VS Four Hokage!

Inside the Hokage's office.

Upon hearing Kagura's suggestion, everyone present changed their expressions.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado's expressions turned extremely serious, and Tsunade sat up straight, her eyes also becoming solemn.

This matter…

This is no small matter!

"This is the dying wish left by Sarutobi."

Koharu Utatane completely agreed, and even approved of Hiruzen Sarutobi's will: "To prevent Orochimaru from resurrecting the Hokage again, having Kagura resurrect the Hokage first is not a bad idea."

Mitokado Homura nodded and continued, "If Orochimaru were to revive the past Hokage, it would be a heavy blow to Konoha, and I agree."

"It seems I don't have any reason to object..."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she raised a crucial question: "The Impure World Reincarnation technique requires sacrifices to revive the dead. Who should be chosen as the sacrifice?"

"This matter can be handled by the Root."

Mitokado Homura quickly shook his head and looked at Akihara Kagura: "Kagura, is it alright to leave the task of finding a sacrifice to resurrect the past Hokage to Root?"

The roots have always been the darkest place in Konoha.

In the past, things that could not be known to the villagers were usually handled by the secret agents; things that could not be known to the secret agents were handled by the root agents.

"Can."

Akihara Kagura had no objection to this.

"I have a question."

Tsunade seemed to know a little about the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and asked earnestly, "I've heard that the stronger the life force of the offering, the stronger the power of the living person will be..."

"I don't really know about these things either."

Akihara Shin shook his head, seemingly unfamiliar with the Impure World Reincarnation technique: "However, the Third Hokage was a professor of ninjutsu, and the Impure World Reincarnation technique he left behind is more complete than the one the Second Hokage left in the Scroll of Seals..."

"Let's revive the past Hokage first!"

Mitokado Homura chimed in from the sidelines, saying in a deep voice, "At least until we've dealt with Orochimaru's problem, we need to prevent the past Hokage from being used by Orochimaru..."

"..."

Tsunade remained silent.

Before Dan Kato was resurrected, Tsunade would have had to consider things carefully; however, after Dan Kato was resurrected and used by Orochimaru, Tsunade had to acknowledge the threat that the Impure World Reincarnation posed to Konoha…

If Orochimaru were to resurrect a large number of the dead and use these reanimated beings as a threat to launch a full-scale attack on Konoha…

Many Konoha ninjas may experience a change in mindset when they see someone they respect or a comrade become an enemy, which can lead them to allow themselves to be killed by the enemy on the battlefield.

"As for the involvement of past Hokage in village politics..."

Mitokado Homura hesitated, glancing at Tsunade before continuing, "Perhaps this could indeed be done before Orochimaru is wiped out..."

"..."

Tsunade still did not object.

Because two of the four Hokage who died were her relatives and one was her teacher, it was extremely advantageous to her no matter how you looked at it.

"Then I'll go prepare."

Akihara Kagura glanced at Tsunade.

"I'll go with you."

Tsunade, intending to go with Akihara Kagura, said in a deep voice, "Even if the village intends to resurrect the dead, innocent people should not be sacrificed..."

"Isn't that necessary?"

Kagura Akihara immediately shook her head and continued, "If in the future the villagers think that we used the Impure World Reincarnation technique and desecrated the dead, then this is all because I violated the rules by using forbidden techniques. Lady Tsunade absolutely cannot be known to anyone that she was involved in this matter..."

"!!!"

Tsunade was startled and looked at Akihara Kagura with some surprise.

Tsunade immediately understood the significance of Akihara Kagura and Root's existence, and also understood why Sarutobi Hiruzen had always allowed Shimura Danzo to control power...

Roots…

He has been taking on mistakes that even a Hokage shouldn't be able to bear!

"good."

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado immediately nodded in understanding, greatly appreciating Akihara Kagura's willingness to take the blame: "Tsunade, the Hokage shouldn't get involved in this..."

"Everything was done by Kagura on her own. You're just a Hokage who has to bear the consequences of your subordinate's mistakes..."

Am I someone who lacks the courage to take responsibility?

Tsunade flew into a rage, smashing her desk to pieces with a single punch: "How can you, as the Hokage of the village, let your subordinates bear the blame?!"

That temper is really fiery!

Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane seemed unconcerned, as if they were already accustomed to the division of responsibilities within Konoha. They spoke in a deep voice, advising, "Tsunade, you haven't officially passed the succession ceremony yet. This happened before you took office..."

"Don't use that old man's methods anymore..."

Tsunade glanced at the two Hokage advisors, clearly displeased with their behavior: "If this was my decision, I should bear the consequences of this wrong decision! I'm going with Akihara Kagura..."

"Lady Tsunade, that will have to wait until after the succession ceremony."

Akihara Kagura stared at Tsunade with a calm and unwavering gaze, as if she didn't care at all that she was doing something she shouldn't be doing in place of the Hokage.

"if…"

Akihara Kagura walked out of the Hokage's office, glancing back at Tsunade: "If Lady Tsunade wants to change Konoha, she should at least wait until she officially becomes the Fifth Hokage before making any moves. Empty words are useless..."

Bang!

After speaking, Akihara Kagura slammed the door shut and left the Hokage's office. The two Hokage advisors, who seemed to be used to this, showed no change in expression.

This kind of thing...

Having two Hokage advisors was already commonplace.

Since the two of them became high-ranking officials in Konoha, this has always been how the Konoha leadership operates: Hiruzen Sarutobi does what he should do, and Danzo does what is inconvenient for him to do.

"No wonder you wouldn't let that brat become Hokage..."

Tsunade sat down again, a sense of powerlessness washing over her, but she quickly rallied: "When will I go to meet the Daimyo? When will the Anbu prepare for the Hokage succession ceremony? I want to become the Fifth Hokage immediately!"

root base.

Kagura Akihara had already resurrected the four deceased Hokage, which was why she insisted on not having Tsunade come along.

Now that the four Hokage are to be brought into the upper echelons of Konoha to participate in politics, Akihara Kagura hopes to make them fully realize the reality in order to prevent them from having any further thoughts.

Kagura Akihara summoned the four Hokage and said softly, "To help you all face reality, I plan to find a place to spar with you all..."

"I hope we can recognize each other's strengths and weaknesses through this sparring session, lest one of the Hokage here, who is skilled in forbidden techniques, think that he can change the situation just because he can undo the Impure World Reincarnation technique..."

"Kid, no need for such subtle hints!"

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, acknowledged Kagura Akihara's slander, crossed his arms, and said coldly, "I have indeed figured out a way to counter the Impure World Reincarnation technique you used..."

"He actually thinks he can fight four Hokage all by himself?"

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, looked at Kagura Akihara with some surprise. He didn't know just how strong Kagura Akihara was, only knowing it was thanks to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been popularizing her knowledge during this time.

As for the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, he even looked somewhat surprised: "Ah, you want to fight the four of us?"

"How arrogant..."

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, coldly commented on Kagura Akihara's behavior.

but…

This is advantageous to them.

Tobirama Senju had been thinking about this for a long time.

If the four Hokage can defeat Akihara Kagura, then I can consider how to undo the Impure World Reincarnation. No matter how hard Akihara Kagura tries to control them, there will always be a moment when she relaxes her guard, and they will definitely be able to seize the opportunity…

of course.

This must be based on the principle that they can defeat Akihara Kagura without causing too much damage to Konoha.

"Where are we going to fight?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised a question, asking softly, "In Konoha, wouldn't the battle be a bit too noisy..."

"Searching for remote, untouched places..."

Tobirama Senju glanced at his elder brother, then at Kagura Akihara. These two, in a real fight, could easily destroy Konoha: "Anyway, there are five of us in total, and three of us know the Flying Thunder God Technique. We'll be there soon..."

"Is it set at sea?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Tobirama Senju and decided that they should choose a more favorable environment.

"Let's stay on land!"

Tobirama Senju shook his head, disagreeing with the idea.

While being on the open sea might enhance his Water Release abilities, it would severely limit his performance and also restrict the use of Flying Thunder God Technique.

"..."

Everyone present unanimously thought of one country.

Let's go!

Tobirama Senju placed a hand on his older brother's shoulder and turned to look at Kagura Akihara: "Kid, I heard you're also a Flying Thunder God Technique user, don't be too slow..."

"I'll have a glass of pear juice first."

Akihara Kagura picked up the drinks on the table, waved her hand, and said, "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up with you soon..."

"snort!"

Tobirama Senju snorted coldly and disappeared from the spot with Hashirama Senju!

"Third Hokage, let's go."

Minato Namikaze put his hand on Hiruzen Sarutobi's shoulder and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly lift the Third Hokage away from his original spot!

"Glug glug..."

Akihara Kagura was still slowly sipping her pear juice.

late at night.

The Land of Wind.

In the desolate desert.

Kagura Akihara stood in the middle of the desert, quietly waiting for the arrival of the four Hokage. He was the last to set off and the first to arrive.

A while later.

Minato Namikaze arrived first with Hiruzen Sarutobi, while Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju arrived a little later, which made the Second Hokage's expression somewhat unpleasant.

"We've finally arrived. We've been waiting for you for a while."

Akihara Kagura stood in the desert, seemingly getting impatient with the wait.

"Was Kagura here first?"

Minato Namikaze looked at Kagura Akihara with some surprise, then smiled and praised, "Your Flying Thunder God Technique is even faster than mine and the Second Hokage's!"

"Even faster than Tobirama!"

Without hesitation, Hashirama Senju gave a thumbs-up, praising Kagura Akihara and Minato Namikaze: "Back in our day, Tobirama was known as the fastest ninja in the world!"

"Big brother!"

Tobirama Senju quickly stopped his elder brother.

Losing to Minato Namikaze is one thing...

He actually lost to that guy Akihara Kagura...

In particular, Tobirama Senju himself was the inventor of the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Tobirama Senju took a deep breath, adopting the demeanor of an elder, and suppressing his dissatisfaction with Kagura Akihara, praised, "You guys are all quite fast... Now that everyone's here, let's get started!"

"We really shouldn't waste time..."

Akihara Kagura nodded, forming a seal of opposition between her fingers!

"..."

The four Hokage were taken aback by his actions, feeling a sense of familiarity that had been absent for a long time. At the same time, they raised their opposition hand seals towards Akihara Kagura opposite them!

next moment!

The four Hokage charged towards Akihara Kagura at the same time!

Akihara Kagura's fingers flew across the paper, forming a hand seal before suddenly closing them together!

"The Mark of the Tiger!"

Seeing Akihara Kagura's movements, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately deduced the technique she intended to use: "Kagura is about to use a Fire Release technique!"

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

With Hiruzen Sarutobi's reminder, Akihara Kagura had already completed the hand seals, her fingers spread out to her lips, and she opened her mouth to spew out a torrent of flames!

The ball of flame landed in the desert, melting the sand and spreading like a wall of fire towards the four Hokage!

"It's Madara's technique!"

Hashirama Senju immediately realized this, his expression even turning serious: "It's even more powerful than when Madara used it!"

"monkey!"

"Second generation sir!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tobirama Senju also made their own judgments!

As the Hokage of Konoha, they have a very accurate judgment of the situation, especially since the environment here is a desert, which is not suitable for the release of Water Release techniques!

The two Hokage knew very well that their individual Water Release techniques would not be enough to stop it, so they simultaneously joined their hands, formed hand seals, and released the same technique!

"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"

Tobirama Senju opened his mouth and spat out a ball of water, which quickly formed a circular wall of water around them!

Hiruzen Sarutobi spewed out bursts of water, rapidly replenishing the thickness of the water wall, and a water wall as tall as a city wall was erected on the desert!

The water wall and the fire wall made contact instantly!

Flames scorched the water, raising plumes of mist that spread across the desert, instantly shrouding the entire battlefield in fog!

fortunately…

Everyone present was skilled in sensory ninjutsu.

The four Hokage simultaneously pressed their palms to the ground, using the transmission of chakra through the ground to quickly sense the location where Akihara Kagura was hiding in the mist!

Akihara Kagura moved even faster than them. Looking at the dense moisture in the battlefield, he abruptly clenched his hands: "Rain Tiger Freedom Technique!"

The water vapor slowly turned into raindrops in the air.

In the desert where it is usually dry, a downpour began.

Every drop of this rain contains Akihara Kagura's chakra, allowing her to perceive the exact locations of the four Hokage more clearly!

"Found it!"

Akihara Kagura's gaze sharpened, and he suddenly raised his hand, causing the rain to condense rapidly under his control!

"Water Release: Heaven's Cry!"

Hidden within the raindrops in the sky were countless water needles, secretly flying towards the four Hokage!

There's something in the rain!

Tobirama Senju was caught off guard when a water needle struck his shoulder. He reacted quickly, but his expression turned extremely grim: "So it was my technique..."

Second update!
