Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

Danzo has done a lot over the years, and discussing right and wrong is now meaningless.

In Danzo's words, he was the darkness of Konoha, a root planted in the soil, and everything he did was for the stability of Konoha.

As a result, he died in battle, and his body was swallowed up by the Inner Four Symbols Seal, leaving nothing behind.

“Alright, Lord Danzo’s funeral will be conducted as you said, Third Hokage!” Minato Namikaze nodded.

The ninjas of the Hokage lineage disliked Danzo, disliked his actions and his character.

But the person is already dead, so there's no need to dwell on it too much.

The matter was settled, and Danzo's funeral would be held after the border situation stabilized.

The funeral will be second only to that of the Hokage. Hiruzen Sarutobi will personally read out Danzo's contributions to Konoha over the years, allowing him to be buried in a grand and honorable manner.

As for the Root members, most of them died that night alongside Danzo, killed by Uchiha Hikaru.

The remaining Minato members are not intended to be incorporated into the Anbu; they will be sent back to their respective ninja clans, and further arrangements will be made later.

These people have long considered themselves guardians of Konoha's darkness, walking in the shadows, and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Minato Namikaze planned to break these people up and assign them to other ninja teams to wear them down for a while.

.........

The meeting has ended.

A group of Konoha bigwigs left the meeting room and returned to their clans to prepare for the expedition.

"Leave now?"

"Yes, I need to deal with the Sand Ninja as soon as possible, and then go to Loulan."

After the meeting, Kazan went up to the rooftop; the rooftop of the Hokage Building was practically his runway for taking off.

The mark left by Uchiha Hikaru on the dragon vein must be removed.

"Kazan."

Just as Kazan was about to leave, Kurenai Yuhi walked over and said, "Go tell Kurenai."

"Alright." Kazan nodded, swept his domineering aura across the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and flew away.

The big battle last night was less than a day ago.

At this moment, many ninjas who had been with Kaka for a long time were gathered together talking about what happened last night.

Even Kakashi was there.

They marveled at Kazan's strength; his iron fists were invincible, and he had truly reached the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Asma felt very uncomfortable.

They used to say they were going to surpass Kazan, but now they're completely silent.

A raging sea of ​​dark red lightning, a tiger formed from domineering aura, a dragon's head formed from chakra, and a tengu samurai capable of cleaving Konoha in two with a single strike...

All of this was still playing in his mind, overturning his understanding of ninjas. Even his father, the Third Hokage, wasn't this strong.

He estimated that only someone who was drunk would dare to challenge Kazan.

"I wonder how the meeting went."

At this moment, some people couldn't help but look in the direction of the Hokage Building.

Many of them were backed by the Konoha ninja clan, so they naturally knew that the clan leader had been taken to a meeting early in the morning.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kazan will also attend this meeting.

"Great, Kazan must be there too, right?"

Everyone else also turned their gaze towards the Hokage Building.

At this moment, all the high-ranking officials of Konoha, the heads of the major ninja clans, and Konoha's top combatants had gathered there.

They were all important figures in the village.

Kazan is having a meeting with those people, while they can only drink tea here.

“He is a disciple of the Third Hokage and a top-tier fighter in the village, so of course he is qualified to attend this meeting,” Hyuga Asuka said. “And don’t forget, Kazan is currently the top candidate for the Fifth Hokage.”

Just like Orochimaru in the past.

As long as Kazan doesn't conduct any more human experiments or do anything to harm Konoha.

The position of Fifth Hokage was practically his.

He had already made great contributions in the three wars and was considered a war god by the people of Konoha.

Last night, he suppressed the Nine-Tails and defeated the invaders in front of everyone, demonstrating unparalleled combat power.

Kazan's prestige in Konoha is now so high that even though he became the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, the villagers of Konoha have no objections.

Anyone who has a problem with it will be immediately taken to the security department for a lecture.

This was not Fugaku Uchiha's order, but Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze's order.

At that moment, a whooshing sound came, and Kazan transformed into a streak of light and fell.

"Kazan!"

"Kazan!"

"........"

Everyone stood up, wanting to know some of the meeting's content.

"Is the meeting over?" They all crowded around.

"Yes, I'm here to see Hong, so I need to go out of the village."

"Is it a mission?"

"It's a mission; I'm going to the border soon."

Sure enough, everyone's hearts sank, thinking of the Third World War which was not yet completely over, and they worried that war was about to break out again.

"Don't worry, it's not what you think."

Kazan told them some of the contents of their meeting.

This deployment to the border is more about demonstrating our strength and discouraging other ninja villages from taking advantage of the situation, so they will obediently return to their own villages.

Are you leaving now?

"Yes, besides the Sand Village, I have some other things to take care of, the sooner the better."

"Then... be careful."

"I will. You guys continue chatting, I'll be going now."

As Kazan spoke, he rose into the air. With the last word, he soared into the sky, heading straight for the Land of Wind.

Many people noticed his departing figure and quickened their pace.

Upon returning to the Uchiha clan, Fugaku immediately ordered his men to take stock of the troops in preparation for battle, without waiting for any questions from the other elders.

They acted quickly.

What the other ninja villages wanted to test this time was not so much the loss of Konoha's fighting strength, but rather the condition of Kazan.

After last night's great battle, will he suffer the same fate as the First Hokage, being severely injured and nearing death?

But those inside Konoha knew that Kazan was not only not seriously injured, but also had a great appetite, eating the equivalent of dozens of people's meals last night.

Once Kazan has dealt with the Sand Village, the news will spread throughout the four great ninja villages. If they arrive too late, the Uchiha clan will get nothing.

Looking at Uchiha Itachi holding his younger brother inside the house, he thought for a moment and decided to take his eldest son to the front line as well.

"Itachi, you should get ready too. You're coming to the front lines with me this time."

".....good."

Itachi was reluctant to part with his little brother, but he still entrusted Sasuke to his mother's care for the time being.

Fugaku Uchiha rolled his eyes. They did tell Itachi to protect Sasuke and be a good older brother, but they didn't tell him to be a brother-obsessed brother.

He cautioned, "Itachi, be mindful of your status. You are now Lord Kazan's disciple. You cannot tarnish the reputation of a disciple of the demons and gods. Do you understand?"

Now, even the villagers in Konoha are talking about whether Kazan's fighting strength is stronger or weaker than that of the First Hokage.

As Kazan's disciple, Itachi Uchiha also came into their view.

Like the legendary Sannin and Kazan, are they truly worthy to be disciples of the Hokage? And are they capable of shouldering the responsibility of protecting Konoha?

To put it bluntly, when people in the village talk about the Uchiha clan now, they don't think of him as the clan leader, but rather their own eldest son.

This is Kazan's current status in Konoha; anyone associated with him enjoys immense prestige.

Even if Kazan suddenly had a whim and randomly pointed his finger at someone, taking a fool as his apprentice, the villagers would still think that this person wasn't actually a fool, but just that they couldn't see his talent and would hold onto their expectations.

"I understand, Father." Itachi nodded emphatically.

Kazan was not only his teacher, but also his life mentor.

He learned a lot from Kazan.

Even without his father's reminder, he was determined to make a name for himself on this expedition, so as not to embarrass his teacher.

He returned to his room and carried the ninja sword that Kazan had given him.

He, Uchiha Itachi, the only disciple of Konoha's Demon God, must be mindful and not lose face.

.........

Chapter 210 That means they couldn't reach an agreement.

"Lord Kazekage, the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers is just ahead."

"Should we... go over there?"

The Sand Village forces have assembled and advanced to the border of the Land of Rivers.

Beyond that lies the Land of Fire and Konoha.

Rasa had already secured his position as Kazekage, and later, Maki, the teacher of Gaara and others, was promoted by him to become Rasa's right-hand man.
