Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

"Because he doesn't need those ninja beasts at all."

"........."

Danzo and the others remained silent.

Because there was no denying it, their fighting power was comparable to that of the first generation, something they couldn't withstand.

Danzo knew he was no match for Kazan, which is why he brought two elders to Kazan's door early in the morning, asking Hiruzen Sarutobi to stop him.

"Regardless of the circumstances, creating a so-called Fourth Holy Land near the village will only bring harm and no benefit to Konoha!"

"Those beasts have no sense of belonging to Konoha; they are just beasts who only obey Kazan's orders!"

Danzo couldn't let Kazan make things like this.

If Kazan had the power of a holy land behind him, his Root would be a joke in front of the opponent!

How can I compete for the Hokage position in the future?

"I have agreed to this. That place will become an important force for Konoha in the future!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored Danzo's alarmist remarks.

Kazan is not an ambitious person. If he really wanted to be Hokage, he wouldn't need to do so much. He could just nod, and Hiruzen Sarutobi could immediately push him to the position of Hokage.

If you think the fifth generation is too slow, being a fourth generation is perfectly fine!

Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't trust anyone else to do this, but since it's Kazan, there's no problem.

If all goes well, the Forest of Death will become Konoha's strongest shield.

"You'll regret this, Sarutobi!"

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was determined to go his own way, Danzo slammed the door shut and stormed out.

That movement was smoother than Dove chocolate.

Chapter 176 Moving to the Death Forest

Even after returning to the Root, Danzo remained indignant.

The power of a holy site is something even he could not fully comprehend.

However, judging from the strength of Kazan's summoned beast, it must be superior to his Root.

He wanted to stop it, but he was powerless.

I am not the Hokage after all.

Go find Kazan?

Upon considering Kazan's personality, Danzo immediately dismissed the idea.

That person is not someone who can reason logically.

The only principle they believed in was fists.

Strength....age....

These are all things Danzo desperately wants now.

"Is there any news from Amegakure?"

He had the idea of ​​using the Rinnegan.

If it were the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, would he possess the power to defeat Kazan?

"As before, Yahiko, the leader of Amegakure, is doing his best to promote cooperation with Kusagakure."

"I don't know how high the sky is."

Danzo lowered his eyes, revealing no joy or sorrow.

"Go contact the Grass Ninja and get them to agree to the Rain Ninja's proposal."

"Find an opportunity to bring the Rinnegan back to me."

He didn't want to wait any longer.

The power of the Naruto faction is growing stronger and stronger.

Orochimaru is now at a disadvantage in the election for the Fourth Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, Kazan...

Even Tsunade leans more towards Hiruzen Sarutobi's faction.

Most of Konoha's elite combat forces are united as one.

Their attitude will influence the stance of other ninja villages.

As expected, he and Orochimaru have already lost.

Rather than being driven out of the village's power structure step by step, it's better to make yourself stronger first.

During the war, the Hidden Grass Village followed the lead of the Hidden Leaf Village. With their cooperation, we can definitely wipe out the Hidden Rain Village in one fell swoop.

Has the Uchiha clan responded?

"They refused. They won't support anyone unless Lord Kazan runs for office."

bang~

Danzo slammed his cane down, and the ground instantly cracked open.

"The Uchiha clan, born evil!"

This time he was truly enraged.

Having an undeveloped Fourth Holy Land behind them wasn't enough; they also unknowingly gained the full support of the Uchiha clan.

Kazan is probably Danzo's biggest rival.

Compared to him, Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi's methods seem rather immature.

“I underestimated him. Go and invite Orochimaru over.”

Danzo could not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

Since Kazan is said to have combat power that rivals the original Kazan, he will regenerate an original Kazan.

He wants to restart his teacher, the Second Hokage, and his research on the cells of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

Yes.

The person who first researched Hashirama Senju's cells was not Orochimaru or anyone else, but Hashirama Senju's younger brother, Tobirama Senju.

The purpose was to enhance Konoha's fighting strength, deal with the potential danger of the Uchiha clan, and suppress the tailed beasts.

Tobirama Senju preserved and studied his elder brother's body and cells.

Despite being unable to complete the research due to time constraints and other reasons, the research on the first generation of cells was also put on hold.

But these things were preserved by his disciples, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura.

Now, feeling threatened, Danzo has decided to restart.

Orochimaru quickly learned the news, and his mood, which had been rather gloomy lately, improved.

He originally thought he would naturally become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

He was indeed the first choice for the fourth generation at the beginning.

Unexpectedly, just because he got too close to Danzo, he aroused Hiruzen Sarutobi's suspicion.

Orochimaru did want to develop Konoha properly and make the village stronger.

Unfortunately, his teacher was too conservative and was no longer the same Ren Xiong he once was.

Even the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, researched his elder brother's cells and developed related techniques for the sake of the village's stability and prosperity, creating the forbidden technique, Impure World Reincarnation.

When it was my turn, my teacher thought I was dirty.

Pedantic....

Orochimaru has completely lost faith in his teacher.

The Hokage faction is currently very powerful, with Jiraiya, Tsunade, and even his junior brother all supporting Minato Namikaze.

Orochimaru knew that his chances of winning were slim.

Because the trust between him and Hiruzen Sarutobi had been strained.

In Danzo's words, they were all used to standing in the sunlight, but forgot that the world needs to go through the alternation of day and night every day.

But that's alright.

“Spending time managing the village is also a waste of life.”

"The cells of the First Hokage... I wonder if they are as resilient as rumored."

Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes revealing excitement.

...........

the other side.

Kazan suddenly sneezed.

"That guy was talking bad about me behind my back?"

He carried a decapitation sword on his shoulder, and before him stood the overlords of the Death Forest.

Their appearance and behavior are very strange.

A male lion, nearly the same size as Hakimi, sat cross-legged like a human, its eyes fixed and its appearance solemn.

It showed absolutely no ferocity whatsoever that a wild beast should have.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that it had been beaten black and blue.

His face was so swollen it was unrecognizable, and the bumps on his head were so numerous they made people laugh.

The same is true for the other creatures it judges.

They were all beaten by Kazan because they developed resistance during their training.
