The Will Of Fire Cannot Save The Ninja World

Chapter 129 Why do you want me to abdicate? Minato Jinchūriki

Konoha is brightly lit at night, recovering from the war, and once again has a prosperous appearance.

Hokage Iwashita, Hokage Building Office, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō, looking at the Uchiha mansion in the distance for a long time.

Two hours ago, news came from Anbu that Hatake Sakumo entered the Uchiha mansion.

An hour ago, the news came again that Hatake Sakumo left.

But until now, he has not come to the Hokage building to report to work.

"I said a long time ago that he would shield his students."

Shimura Danzō had given up all hope and found a seat to sit down.

All of this was within his expectations, and the reason why he was willing to wait so long was to let Hiruzen see clearly——

Hatake Sakumo, after all, kept breaking up with Uchiha Yuye.

Even if they have found clues that Uchiha Yuye has violated the rules-although the violation does not involve Konoha's core interests, it will undoubtedly affect Uchiha Yuye's reputation.

Danzo suppressed this kind of thing twice - anyway, Uchiha Yuye didn't care about reputation, he just kicked the ball to Hatake Sakumo.

If Hatake Sakumo followed the mission, even if the substantive evidence of Uchiha Yuye was not captured, the relationship between the two would be damaged.

Looking back, Danzo will operate again to hype up the master-student rebellion, which can effectively damage White Fang's reputation. At least a considerable number of people who like White Fang because of Yuye will leave, such as Yueguangjin and others.

And if Hatake Sakumo does not follow the mission, cover up, and ignore Uchiha's problem at night, then he will be sentenced to death, at least in the eyes of high-level officials—that is, he is not absolutely loyal to Konoha.

Success or failure, Danzo thinks he is making money.

"At least it's not suitable for him to wear Hokage half sleeves anymore." Danzo looked at his hesitant old partner and gave his opinion.

White Fang's Hokage half-sleeve, too harsh for Danzo.

If White Fang can operate well enough, this honor is enough for him to gradually transition to the position of Hokage.

"Well, but we need a stronger reason." Sarutobi Hiruzen finally gave the answer, smoking a cigarette.

"Opportunity. There will be." Danzo smiled slightly, with a cold smile.

He has been preparing for the opportunity for a long time.

But after thinking about it, the previous plan was too simple and crude.

The current White Fang prestige is bound to Uchiha Yuye, and they have achieved each other. An overly understated plan is not enough to trip him up.

He needs to think of another chance that can kill him with one blow.

After Danzo left, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked away from the reflection in the dark glass.

The scarlet sparks on the glass slightly illuminated his face.

Suddenly, he sighed: "Why, are you in such a hurry?"

How could he not know what Danzo was thinking.

Danzo is nothing more than paving the way to succeed Hokage.

Including the voices of many people in the village now, supporting Hatake Sakumo as the next Hokage.

But ah! !

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the face reflected in the glass.

He is only in his forties, he is the prime of life, the golden age of ninjas!

Is it because he has been on the throne longer than the First Generation and the Second Generation, is it taken for granted that he should step down?

The First Generation and Second Generation didn't last that long because of injuries and deaths.

Not because Hokage's reign should have been that short!

Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't think he has such a strong desire for power, and the position must be passed on, but why is it so urgent?

Danzo is also good, and White Fang is also good.

There are even calls for Uchiha Oya to succeed him.

No one has considered whether he is going to abdicate!

'I can give, but you can't keep asking.'

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes and let the tobacco burn out.

He gradually calmed down.

Back to today's matter itself.

The flame of White Fang's succession must be extinguished.

He's not a good fit, and he's too involved with the Uchiha family.

And Danzo?

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slightly.

In his mind, Danzo was also out of place.

This old partner should stay in the dark, that is his home field.

But the problem facing Sarutobi Hiruzen now is that he can't tell others directly that he can continue to serve as Hokage, he needs to follow the trend and give everyone a successor goal to vent their high emotions.

This successor, White Fang and Danzo, has already been rejected by him, so he can only find another one.

"Uchiha Royal Night? Never possible."

"Akamichi takes the wind? More than enough loyalty, not enough means."

"Tsunade? Qualified, but she's not interested, and also getting too close to Uchiha Oya."

"Jiraiya? He would rather put his hope on the Son of Prophecy than on himself."

"Orochimaru"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of his apprentice and sighed.

Orochimaru is his most admired disciple, possessing skills, charisma, and strength.

At the same time, he also recently expressed his willingness to be Hokage.

If it is him, Sarutobi Hiruzen is willing to give it a chance.

But he has tested the tone of other high-level officials, because the study of Wood Style has no results and the abuse of prisoners, Orochimaru's reputation has been very mediocre recently.

So Orochimaru approached him a few days ago and tentatively asked if he could have higher authority for research.

Sarutobi Hiruzen refused.

He didn't want to make his apparent stance look too different from the rest of the top brass by being overly supportive of Orochimaru.

"That's except them"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the night sky, thinking about other candidates.

After a long time with no results, he simply left the office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen went around and came to the secret room library.

Konoha's out-of-print books, Forbidden Technique, Forbidden Technique experience and so on are stored here.

Most of his teacher Senju Tobirama's collection is here.

In the past year, Sarutobi Hiruzen will come here to study when he is free.

The purpose is to increase strength.

The only person he fears in the village is Uchiha Yuya.

The Sharingan of the Uchiha family is okay, but if Uchiha Yuye suddenly awakens Mangekyō, even he has no hope.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen can only cast his hope in the Forbidden Technique left by the teacher——

Senju Tobirama hates and fears Uchiha so much, to what extent?

Half of the Forbidden Technique developed by Senju Tobirama was created with Uchiha as the imaginary enemy!

Sharingan illusion? Direct dark line Technique cuts off line of sight.

Afraid of being seen through by Sharingan? Flying Thunder God Technique, only fast is not broken!

There are also those collected and transformed by Senju Tobirama, such as Yamata no Orochi against Susanoo and so on.

In order to prevent problems before they happen, Sarutobi Hiruzen has started to continue to improve himself in advance.

"Um?"

But today, as soon as he arrived in the secret room, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

In the secret room, someone came.

Although the traces are carefully erased, this is the place where Sarutobi Hiruzen has cultivated meticulously over the years, and no matter how small the changes are, he cannot be hidden from him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen just opened his mouth to call Anbu, but he opened his mouth and didn't shout out.

For a brief moment, he already knew who had been there.

"Orochimaru, you are too impatient."

Only his most beloved disciple can know the location of the secret room and the restrictions.

That Orochimaru who just recently asked for higher authority in order to get a higher position and more classified information.

Stealing into the secret room is enough crime for him to put Orochimaru in prison and never see the light of day.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen stood there for a long time, thinking lonely.

Finally, shook his head.

He didn't want to alarm the whole village, that would completely destroy his most beloved disciple.

He wanted to settle this matter privately with Orochimaru.

Sarutobi Hiruzen cleaned up the suspicious points without any trace, and then picked up the research experience of Flying Thunder God Technique again, hoping to learn something.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Seeing Flying Thunder God Technique, he thought of the person he just needed to find.

A very suitable, no, very suitable person!

His awareness is high enough, his potential is strong enough, and his age is young enough.

At the same time, his identity is a civilian, and on the surface he is still a member of the Hokage family.

For quite a long time, everyone can cast their hopes on Hokage's successor on him.

Even if he can succeed to the throne at a young age, it is still under his control!

More importantly, he has a good relationship with Uchiha Yuye.

Can stabilize Uchiha Yuye's relationship in a short time.

At the same time, if there is a problem with Uchiha Yuye, he will either try his best to solve Uchiha Yuye, or wait for his reputation to be damaged.

From every point of view, Sarutobi Hiruzen's request is very satisfied.

If I had to say it was insufficient, it would be that I was temporarily pulled away by Uchiha Yuye in terms of strength.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the book, tapped his fingers on the table, thinking:

"The Jinchūriki of the Four Tails need to be kept to themselves."

"In this case, although he is a little small, you can give him a try."

"Namikaze Minato."

"Do not let me down."

...

"Me? Four Tails Jin Chūriki?"

Namikaze Minato was quite surprised when he heard the news.

Jiraiya, who just rushed back, also scratched her head: "To be honest, I don't know what the teacher thinks. It's up to you, do you want to try?"

Jiraiya received the news yesterday and rushed back today.

Because Minato has no other relatives in Konoha, the only one who can be an elder is the teacher Jiraiya.

But this news came as a shock to both of them.

Among Jiraiya's three students in Konoha, there are actually two Jinchūriki?

Does the rest of the village have any opinions?

Moreover, Jiraiya became serious: "You should have heard about the situation of Jinchūriki in various villages. Ordinary people can't tell the relationship between Tailed Beast and Jinchūriki, and they often like to confuse them. I believe that you can succeed with your ability, but if you want to To be a Hokage, being a Jinchūriki will hold you back."

It is not uncommon for Jinchūriki to become shadows, but they are very few.

After all, tailed beasts are extremely dangerous and extremely unstable weapons, and are relied on by the world, but they are also feared.

Jiraiya does not want his disciples to have less room for promotion because of this.

In his opinion, with Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato must be a Kage-level master in the ninja world in the future.

Minato thought for a moment, then nodded heavily: "I'm willing to try!"

In the past two years, whether it was assassinating Kazekage or rescuing Kushina, Minato felt more and more unable to keep up with Yuye.

The body of an ordinary ninja limits his talents.

An advanced version of Rasengan, which is extremely taxing on his body.

Many advanced Rasengans that are still only in conception, he can't even cast them.

He needs a more resilient and resilient body, and he needs plenty of Chakra.

And these, Jinchūriki can satisfy him.

As for making Hokage farther away from him because of this?

As soon as Minato thought of it, he put it behind him.

If he can't even keep up with Yu Ye's pace, then what if he becomes a Hokage?

Hokage may not be the strongest one, but he must not be too far behind the others.

The night Minato made his decision.

Jiraiya accompanied him to the depths of the prison.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, and Akamichi are already waiting outside.

And inside the prison, the Sealing Squad and the Four Tails Jinchūriki are ready.

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Minato on the shoulder and said with relief: "You can make this choice, which is a show of courage. Don't worry about trying. The future Konoha needs young people like you."

Danzo next to him heard the words and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen more.

I always feel that the meaning expressed by the old partner is a little subtle.

Minato nodded, not getting too excited.

In his opinion, this is just one of the necessary steps to catch up with Yu Ye.

When Minato entered the prison, Anbu began to set up a barrier outside.

And the internal sealing squad began to wake up Lao Zi.

Minato looked at the Iwagakure ninja in front of him.

Lao Zi is a middle-aged man with a red beard. Like Tsuchikage Onoki, he is short in stature, but not as exaggerated as Onoki.

Lao Zi woke up from sleep, looked around calmly, and then looked at the blond boy in front of him.

"Well, is it time?"

Ever since Lao Zi was captured, he knew that today would come.

The young man in front of him is undoubtedly the one who is ready to take over his identity.

The handover of Jinchūriki means the death of the previous Jinchūriki, but Lao Zi is not panicked, let alone afraid.

Seemingly indifferent to waiting for death to come.

But deep down, he was communicating with Monkey King.

After Sun Wukong told him what he knew, Lao Zi pouted.

Sure enough, there was no chance.

Konoha's high-end combat power is outside, and there is an enchantment prepared in advance.

Even if he completely handed over his body to Monkey King, it was useless.

"If Onogi knows that I died in Konoha, will he be sad or happy?"

Thinking of that stubborn old man, Lao Zi's expression remained unchanged, but there was a trace of sadness deep in his eyes.

He and Tsuchikage have been fighting for so many years, but he never thought it would end like this.

Seal Madara is ready to hand over the Tailed Beast.

Lao Zi didn't care about their actions on him, and looked at Monkey King's next parasite.

But unexpectedly, he actually saw the sad look in the boy's eyes.

Lao Zi endured the strangeness in his heart, and was curious: "You little brat over there, you must be sad, right?"

He tried his best to think about his travel experience: "Did we know each other before?"

Minato shook his head slightly: "No, meeting for the first time."

Lao Zi felt even more awkward: "Then you still feel sorry for me?"

Minato said, "Now you die because of me."

Old Zi said: "Don't you know that we are enemies?"

Minato shook his head: "I am not soft on the enemy, but you were not the enemy, and you are not now. You are a prisoner."

Lao Zi was stunned, and the slight ridicule in his eyes gradually faded away.

He did not fight with Iwagakure last time, and even left directly because of disagreements with Onoki about the war.

Later he became a wandering monk and did not return even after the war.

But in the eyes of others, his identity as Iwagakure is where the hatred lies.

The young man in front of him can tell the difference, but in this world, he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

Lao Zi was lying on the ground, even though the Chakra was slowly being pulled out of his body, his mind was still elsewhere.

He looked at the ceiling for a long time, then said weakly, "Hey, kid over there, do you have any dreams?"

Minato had already been arranged to lie down, and he was also staring at the ceiling in a daze. Hearing this, he said slowly, "Become Hokage."

Be a Hokage, not want to be a Hokage.

Lao Zi chewed this sentence repeatedly, and suddenly laughed:

"Hahahahaha, what a fun kid to be Hokage."

"Is it just because I'm Hokage that I can do my own thing?"

"Is it something that needs to be Hokage to complete?"

"Little ghost, this is the best joke I've ever heard in my life."

Lao Zi didn't restrain the Sun Wukong in his body, let it go, and even comforted it to pass.

His chakra gradually drifted away, his breath became weaker, and his smile gradually weakened.

Lao Zi turned his head and saw the boy's resolute face, which became dazzling under the riot of the tail beast Chakra.

Behind the dazzling blond hair were hid in the darkness and paid close attention to the Konoha executives in the cell.

Lao Zi sneered silently, but turned to the group of people outside.

Those high-ranking Konoha guys can only live in secret.

In contrast, the young man who would express his sorrow for him in front of his eyes had a radiant glow in himself.

He felt that his vitality was about to be exhausted, and he said with an air of gossamer:

"Naive kid, treat my old buddy well. Then it will treat you well"

"Oh yes, it's called Monkey King"

As Lao Zi yelled that name, Four Tails, who had previously resisted entering Minato's body, suddenly stopped struggling.
