I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

I'm looking forward to that moment!

......

"The Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique, what a grand scheme!"

Looking at the ominous black blood gushing in from all directions, and glancing at the four assassins whose identities had remained a mystery, Yun Ting's face was cold and stern.

As expected of the Darkness of Endurance.

Compared to other forces, the former is undoubtedly far superior in both its strategic planning and the deadly moves it has prepared.

Without realizing it, a single move led him into an unprecedented life-or-death situation.

Even if he possesses Wood Release, if he were to be struck by the Reverse Four Symbols Seal, he would likely have no chance of escaping and would only sink into the underworld forever.

It can be said that this was a foolproof assassination plan made by the other party knowing their own strength.

If it were a while ago, when I possessed Wood Release and my combat power was among the top in the ninja world, I might have been tricked and killed in such a frustrating way.

But now...

A brilliant light flashed in Yun Ting's eyes.

"what!"

"Help!"

"Do not......"

Just then, a dozen or so death screams came from behind.

It was the group of warriors and servants who were closest to the source who issued the signal.

Watching his men disappear completely engulfed in the black blood, which was rapidly flowing towards him, Daisuke Imai's face turned deathly pale. Ignoring his own pain, he stammered, "Hokage... what... what do we do now?"

He had previously believed that one of the Five Kage, who held the title of the strongest ninja, was following him all the way, making him the safest person in the world.

Looking back now, it seems he was too naive.

Even the Hokage has times when he is powerless!

The thought of this made Daisuke Imai tremble with fear.

On the contrary, Ritsuko Yamanaka, who was also by Yunting's side, performed much better.

Although she didn't know what kind of ninjutsu caused the strange black blood around her, and even knew that she had no chance of being spared with her strength, her heart calmed down when she looked at the people she was loyal to.

No one understands the meaning of the title Hokage better than the people of Konoha.

The other party certainly did not disappoint her.

Seeing that his female secretary was still trying to remain calm, Yun Ting nodded approvingly and said, "Take my hand."

Without any hesitation, Ritsuko Yamanaka's long, fair hand, glistening with sweat, gripped Yun Ting's hand tightly.

On the other hand, facing the trembling Imai Daisuke, Yunting was less polite and directly lifted him up.

The next second, just as the black blood from all directions was about to surge into the location where Yun Ting and the other two were, he finally moved.

Whoosh!

The three of them vanished without a trace in an instant.

The four ominous waves of black blood collided together, eerily without uttering a sound.

"What...what's going on?"

Just as the plan was about to be completed, the target suddenly disappeared. Black Blood ended up drowning only four lonely Root assassins who couldn't believe their eyes.

It was so close!

Having shed their last drop of blood, the four were helpless and could only close their eyes with deep resentment and confusion.

Chapter Sixty-Three: Flying Thunder God

Outside the range of the Four Symbols Sealing Technique, a special kunai that had just been inserted into the ground appeared abruptly next to Yun Ting and his two companions, who had been surrounded by black blood, the moment they disappeared.

Daisuke Imai, trembling uncontrollably, still kept his eyes tightly shut, desperately awaiting death.

But after waiting and waiting, I found that I could still breathe.

Finally, he couldn't help but open his eyes. When he saw that his vision was filled with vibrant green, completely different from the eerie black he had seen before, he instantly realized that he had escaped a calamity. He breathed a long sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked his savior beside him with heartfelt gratitude: "Lord Hokage, thank you so much!"

Yun Ting nodded calmly.

In truth, this man suffered an undeserved calamity because of himself; not only did all his subordinates die, but he himself almost perished as well.

In terms of sheer misfortune, no one can surpass him.

On the other side, compared to Daisuke Imai, who was not a ninja and therefore did not know or care how he had just escaped, Ritsuko Yamanaka's face was undoubtedly much more shocked.

The ability to instantly teleport the three of them to another location is undoubtedly a space-time ninjutsu.

As for space-time ninjutsu, having participated in the Third Shinobi World War, her deepest impression was naturally of the Flying Thunder God Technique relied upon by the "Yellow Flash," who made a great name for himself in the ninja world.

so......

When Ritsuko Yamanaka noticed that Yun Ting was putting away a special kunai with a spell pattern printed on its surface, a look of understanding immediately appeared on her face.

Even so, the shock in her eyes did not diminish.

When did my Hokage learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?

It's important to know that over the years, only the Second Hokage and Minato Namikaze have been able to learn it, and even the Third Hokage, who is revered as the "Professor of the Ninja World," failed to master it.

Now that the Fourth Hokage before her has mastered this technique, coupled with the incredibly powerful Wood Release, Ritsuko Yamanaka cannot even imagine how strong he truly is.

Yun Ting naturally noticed the female secretary's gaze, but didn't pay much attention to it. He simply instructed, "Don't let this news leak out."

He is now experiencing the benefits of keeping his strength a secret.

It was precisely because Danzo was unaware that he had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique that he was able to easily break through the seemingly perfect trap he had set.

When he saw black blood gushing from the two sedan bearers, Yun Ting quickly rescued Imai Daisuke while also throwing a kunai with the Flying Thunder God Technique mark outwards.

His cautious approach proved to be the right one.

After two more assassins with the Four Symbols Seal appeared and surrounded him, it was the kunai that he threw far away, which was close to the Flying Thunder God Technique, that gave him a way out.

This was something these people had never imagined.

If Danzo had known that Yunting could use the Flying Thunder God Technique, then this deadly trap would not have been so easily breached, thus wasting his greatest trump card.

This demonstrates the importance of intelligence.

Yun Ting decided to keep the Flying Thunder God a secret so that he could continue to plot against people in the future.

Of the two who knew what had just happened, Daisuke Imai was an ordinary person who had been too scared to open his eyes and had no idea what had happened. Given his status as a Konoha envoy, no one would force him to answer questions, so there was no need to worry about him.

As for Ritsuko Yamanaka, his personal secretary and trusted confidante, there was even less to worry about.

As for the Shadow Guard, they were still on the periphery and, because of the cover provided by Black Blood, were unaware of what had happened inside.

Currently, only Yamanaka Ritsuko truly knows the secret of the Cloud Court, so naturally she can still hide it using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Although Yamanaka Ritsuko was puzzled by Yun Ting's instructions, she still obediently nodded seriously and said, "Yes, Hokage-sama!"

At this moment, when she looked at Yun Ting again, her eyes shone with even more brilliance than before.

Not only did the latter save his life, but with such a powerful Hokage, how could Konoha not prosper even more?

soon.

A sharp whooshing sound rang out.

The commotion was caused by the Shadow Guard members, who had been anxiously lingering outside the range of the Inner Sealing Technique and were completely helpless, rushing over with joy after discovering Yun Ting and the other two.

"Lord Hokage, it was our dereliction of duty that we failed to notice that the assassin was hiding in the group. Please punish us." The leader, Shirayuki Hayama, knelt on the ground, looking remorseful.

“Even I didn’t notice anything, let alone you. It can only be said that this enemy is exceptionally powerful and cunning. You don’t need to blame yourselves. Get up.” Yun Ting reached out and helped Bai Yunyeshan up, then addressed the others.

Everyone stood up.

Then, led by Yun Ting, the group returned to the place where the Four Symbols Sealing Technique had previously erupted.

At this point, with the four assassins dead, the seal on the Four Symbols in the back had also been lifted.

The black blood disappeared, leaving behind a huge crater nearly four or five hundred meters wide.

There was nothing inside; everything had been greedily dragged into the Yellow Springs by the Inner Four Symbols Seal.

Limited by their limited knowledge, everyone who saw this scene was utterly shocked.

At the same time, besides Ritsuko Yamanaka, they were even more surprised at how Yun Ting had managed to break free from such a terrifying technique.

However, seeing that Yun Ting remained silent, those present wisely refrained from asking any questions.

Among them, Aya Uchiha withdrew her gaze from Yun Ting with some regret. Focused on strength, she was actually very curious to know how Yun Ting had broken free from such a powerful jutsu. However, since he was the Hokage, and as his subordinate, she knew her place, she could only touch the corner of her eye in the end.

A Sharingan with three tomoe would absolutely be unable to survive under this technique.

The clan elders said that there are even higher levels of the Sharingan, but I don't know if it can withstand this kind of damage.

Beside him, Baiyun Yeshan also recovered from his shock and asked about the issue that was of most concern to him:

"Lord Hokage, is there any progress on the identity of the attackers this time?"

"Those who come are all assassins, and they will not reveal any information. However..." At this point, Yun Ting's lips curled up, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "With such a powerful sealing technique, and one that conflicts with me, who else could it be?"

"Sealing technique?" Bai Yunye and the others' eyes flickered, clearly having gleaned information from Yun Ting's words.

However, this concerns the higher-ups in Konoha, and they have no right to ask further questions.

All they can do is be the sharp blade when Yun Ting needs them most.

Meanwhile, listening to the conversation beside him, Daisuke Imai finally realized something and hurriedly explained to Yunting:

"Lord Hokage, those two palanquin bearers, and two others, although they were my men... ugh! They were definitely not mine, they must have been switched. Lord Hokage, you must investigate this thoroughly, none of this has anything to do with me!"

Daisuke Imai is clearly worried about being implicated in this matter.

After all, the assassin was hidden within his team. And given the political climate in the Land of Fire, if Yun Ting were to expose this matter, even if he was innocent, his hard-earned status as a Konoha envoy would be ruined.

“Of course, Mr. Daisuke is also a victim and has nothing to do with this matter,” Yunting comforted him.

With the power of the Root, it would be easy to replace an official's servant without anyone noticing.
