Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

Death is the greatest gift given by God to mankind.

And immortality is the greatest curse to mankind."

After saying that, he patted Orochimaru, stood up and walked into the inn.

Looking at his back, Orochimaru showed a thoughtful expression.

Chapter 18 Sudden Mission

The conversation with Orochimaru was certainly not due to Kagura's sudden whim.

After the battle that day, he had keenly sensed the hidden desire in Orochimaru's eyes when he looked at him.

Thinking back to Orochimaru's obsession with the Sharingan in the original work, he naturally understood what that trace of desire represented.

But after spending all these years together, he felt that Orochimaru's nature was not bad, so he had this conversation on purpose.

It can be considered as an attempt by him to save his friend.

Two days passed quickly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had hardly appeared in front of them during these two days.

Orochimaru seemed to have received approval and ran to the local ninja academy all day.

He didn't come back until the evening, looking very satisfied.

As for Jiraiya, he seemed even crazier.

According to him, he found many rare copies of novels here that were not available in Konoha.

But whether it was due to lack of money or because I was unable to move so many books back.

Jiraiya finally decided to stay in the bookstore and read as many books as possible.

From then on, he was trapped in the bookstore almost the entire day, and didn't even come back to the hotel at night.

Kagura, who was left behind, could only face the angry Tsunade alone in embarrassment.

Although he tried to buy gifts or chat to calm her anger, it obviously didn't have much effect.

Today, Class 7 gathered again at the dock.

There was a large basket of packed books behind Jiraiya, and Orochimaru was holding a scroll and writing something on it from time to time.

Only Tsunade turned her head and looked aside, standing far away from Kagura.

Looking at Tsunade who was obviously in a bad mood, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused, but he just thought that Tsunade was being childish and ignored her.

After returning to the mainland by boat, everyone began to head towards Konoha Village.

Although on the way here, Fuchuan's pace was not slow.

But compared to these ninjas, there is still a big difference.

On the return trip, everyone ran the entire way.

In the forest, several dark shadows kept flashing back and forth among the tall trees.

The journey originally took them three days, but this time they reached the outskirts of Konoha Village in just one day.

He estimated the remaining distance in his mind and looked up at the scorching sun hanging above his head.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his right hand, signaling the team to stop.

As several black shadows flashed by, four figures suddenly appeared behind him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke:

"It's about two hours from here to the village. Let's find a shady place and eat something before we set off."

After everyone nodded, they landed directly on the ground and began to rest on the spot.

After rummaging around in her backpack, Kagura took out a piece of pastry.

This is the pastry I bought in the Land of Whirlpools two days ago. It is a rare pastry made of honey, rice cake and red beans.

While maintaining a good taste, it also has the characteristics of being able to be preserved for a long time.

So before leaving, Kagura specially bought a few pieces to use as dry food on the road.

Looking at the last piece of cake in her hand, Kagura thought for a moment, handed it to Tsunade opposite her and said:

"This is delicious, do you want to try it?"

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Tsunade turned her head and replied angrily:

"Who wants to eat your food? You should save it for your little sister in the Whirlpool Country!"

This little pepper...

Do you need to be angry for so long?

Kagura thought helplessly in her heart.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya were currently eating their own dry food while watching the two of them with great interest.

An expression of eating melon.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, he has become accustomed to this situation in the past two days.

Apart from sighing about how great youth is, I didn't have many thoughts.

Seeing this, Kagura had no choice but to eat the cake silently.

After drinking some water, he leaned against the tree trunk, half-closed his eyes and took a rest.

Suddenly, the voice of the system rang in his mind.

"Ding!

Trigger an emergency mission!

Mission option 1: Successfully escape from the Golden Horn.

Mission Reward: You can randomly draw a ninjutsu and learn it.

(The ninjutsu level must be A-level or above.)

Mission Option 2: Successfully kill 'Golden Horn'.

Mission Reward: You can randomly draw a ninjutsu and learn it.

(The ninjutsu level must be S-level or above.)

You can only complete one of the two mission options and they cannot be repeated. "

After hearing the mission information clearly in her mind, Kagura stood up immediately in shock.

Who is Jinjiao?

He is a legendary figure who influenced the development of the entire ninja world!

Especially as a ninja of Konoha Village, even students in the Ninja Academy have heard of this name.

In the late stage of the First Ninja War, which was not long ago, the Hidden Cloud Village began to split into the pro-war faction and the peace faction.

Among them, the peace faction led by the second generation Raikage decided to cease fire and form an alliance with Konoha Village.

At the alliance ceremony, it was the brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku who led their subordinates in a sudden coup, killing the Second Raikage on the spot and injuring the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

The Konoha forces took advantage of the chaos to flee the scene, but were pursued by an elite force led by the brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, tested everyone's overall view and ability to act at the critical moment, and then went alone to lure away the enemy and cover the team's retreat.

Unfortunately, facing a large number of opponents, Senju Tobirama was eventually defeated.

The seriously injured Senju Tobirama died shortly afterwards.

In that battle, the 20 elite troops led by Jinjiao and Yinjiao were completely wiped out.

The two brothers also suffered great injuries in that battle, but they did not die.

Later, Ai, the disciple of the Second Raikage, died at the hands of Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

After taking office as the third Raikage, he was determined to avenge his master and was determined to carry the heads of the two brothers to his master's funeral.

Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who had been seriously injured in the previous battle with Senju Tobirama, were ultimately unable to withstand the pursuit of the one known as the "Strongest Spear", and thus came to an end their legendary lives.

The information of the two brothers flashed quickly in his mind, and Kagura's face quickly turned pale.

Although no one knows what kind of accident happened, Kinkaku, who was supposed to have died at the hands of the Third Raikage, actually appeared on the outskirts of Konoha Village.

But this is not the time to delve into this matter. Kagura is currently trying hard to think about the possibility of escape.

It's not that he has no confidence in Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him, but the strength of this enemy is too beyond his ability.

As one of the "two rays of light in the clouds" revered together with Silver Horn, Golden Horn is far more powerful than what is revealed in the animation plot.

They themselves possess chakra at the level of the tailed beasts, and what is even more terrifying is the brutal personalities of the two brothers.

After being swallowed by the Nine-Tailed Fox, they actually started eating its flesh directly in its stomach.

In the end, even the Nine-Tailed Fox had no choice but to spit them out and let the two brothers go.

As a blessing in disguise, they gained the power of the Nine-Tails and were even able to use the Nine-Tails in its tailed beast form.

Most importantly, they also possess the five great ninja tools passed down from the Six Paths Sage.

Each of these ninja tools has the ability to influence a war.

So in the original plot, even when facing two seriously injured brothers, the Third Raikage could only rely on sneak attacks to achieve the final victory.

Such a powerful Kage-level warrior who was once above the Five Kage is really not someone that Sarutobi Hiruzen can deal with now.

Seeing Kagura's strange behavior, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked over in confusion.

But before he could open his mouth, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately stood up.

He stared at the woods ahead with a stern expression.

Seeing this, the other three looked at each other in confusion.

Then a few seconds later, even the three of them felt an indescribable danger from the front.
