Ignite the fire from the pirates

After reading the booklet for the nineteenth time in three days, Minato Namikaze closed his eyes.

The gentleman's words echoed in my mind again.

"It's hard to accomplish something, but it's very easy to destroy it. It's enough to just spread some one-sided words intentionally."

"After Sarutobi Hiruzen made his decision, there should have been rumors in the village."

Namikaze Minato remembered the information brought to him by the Hyuga branch after he went to the border.

During those days, word spread in the village that Rin, being Minato Namikaze's disciple, was determined to keep the power of the tailed beast for herself, regardless of whether the village would go to war again.

At the same time, the elite Jonin also disregarded the overall situation and, for the benefit of himself and his disciples, forced the Hokage to compromise in the name of war heroes.

Even Teacher Jiraiya was dragged into the public opinion, and the purpose is self-evident.

After the encounter, the teacher's classes were not interrupted.

Therefore, Namikaze Minato used his connections to spread another version of the story to the entire village, centered on a larger number of civilians.

[Today it's her, tomorrow it's me, and the day after tomorrow it's you? Are the lives of civilian ninjas not worth mentioning? ]

[Namikaze Minato, the only civilian genius, is about to be shot down into the dust again. ]

[Was peace achieved through fighting? Or was it achieved by sacrificing civilian ninjas?]

[Data from the archives storage room, comparison of the number of civilian ninja deaths and the number of clan ninja deaths during the three Ninja World Wars.]

Starting with the above words, conspiracy theories prevailed in Konoha for a month.

You have to know that there are conflicts between the ninja clan and the civilians.

The second generation Hokage founded a ninja school, but the ninjas from the ninja clan had unspeakable advantages over the civilian ninjas among the graduates of each batch.

The basics of the Three Body Techniques, as well as the embarrassment of teaching Chunins only one or two ninjutsu, are in themselves an unfairness of resources.

For a moment, the previous public opinion was quickly suppressed or even disappeared without a trace.

And as Minato Namikaze fought against Kirigakure single-handedly and finally the peace agreement of Kirigakure was delivered, this wind became even stronger.

A strong man born into a common family, the only one of his kind to stand out.

At the same time, for the sake of his disciples, he can fight against a member of the ninja village alone.

The reputation of the name Golden Flash among the civilian ninjas of Konoha has reached a terrifying level.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door and Uzumaki Kushina ran in.

After the war, the two's wedding was scheduled.

This month, Kushina's emotions were also fluctuating in the sealing barrier. She was furious when she heard that Minato was slandered, and she personally overthrew the two roots of the spread.

If the Hokage's direct Anbu had not informed Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo would probably have arrested people directly.

"Minato, what are you looking at?"

"The homework the teacher gave me will be questioned in the next class."

Kushina looked curious, "I want to meet that gentleman as well, but we need to go furniture shopping today to decorate our new home."

Minato nodded and put the book away before heading out with Kushina.

……

And underground in Konoha, at the root.

"Such a method..."

"Such a method is definitely not something Hiruzen could do! And certainly not one of his two disciples!"

Danzo's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

He didn't care even though he was removed from his position as consultant, and was even very satisfied with his own arrangements at one point.

He was surprised by the support of Uchiha and Hinata, but it did not affect the overall situation.

But in the end… all expectations were dashed.

Chapter 354: Missing Test Subject, New Successor

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen understood him, he also understood this old friend Danzo.

The more things you carry, the more hesitant you become.

After becoming the Hokage, the years have worn away his former sharpness as a ninja, and cowardice has become his byword.

Only by myself, only by becoming the Kage of Konoha, can the village once again become the center of the ninja world, instead of being timid and cowardly as it is now.

Originally everything was planned well, even though his little tricks were discovered by Hiruzen and even though his position as consultant was removed.

As long as public opinion continues, a person who selfishly drags the village into war, including his teachers Jiraiya and Tsunade, and even the daydreaming Uchiha Fugaku, will have no chance of becoming the Fourth Hokage.

At that time, he would use the losses in the Third Ninja World War as an excuse to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen to resign from the position of the Third Hokage.

In the end, the right person is yourself and only yourself.

but now……

Why is it like this?

Where do these remarks come from?

Jiraiya? Or Minato Namikaze?

"Shh."

A Root ninja knelt on one knee: "Sir, Uchiha En is missing."

"boom."

The steaming teacup was crushed directly.

Danzo stared at him with a ferocious look: "Why... did you disappear?"

The Root Ninja's body trembled slightly: "The equipment used for the experiment is intact, but Uchiha En's body... is missing."

……

At the same time, deep underground in the Valley of the End of the Fire Nation.

"That person didn't target us again this time?"

"Two thousand White Zetsu were dispatched to cover all the places that were missed by the line of sight. That person was not seen in any surveillance area."

"Cough cough cough..."

Uchiha Madara, who was even weaker because of the transfer, started coughing violently.

After a while, he looked at the child on the stone bed who was fusing Hashirama's cells with the help of White Zetsu.

"That person will also become a part of the Moon Eye Project in the future. After he sees that the darkness of this world is hopeless, let this child go find him."

Black Zetsu on the side lowered his head: "Understood."

Next to the stone bed, several White Zetsu were arguing with Uchiha En.

"Konoha's stupid experiment failed."

"When I brought it back, the trees had already grown pustules and they didn't look like human beings anymore."

"But he's still alive, isn't he?"

"If you're alive, you can poop, right? And you can feel the urge to poop, right?"

"Let him tell us!"

"Yeah. That traitor Obito ran away. Next time I see him, I have to poop in front of him."

……

Uchiha Madara also looked at the child on the stone bed.

Quietly waiting for him to wake up.

……

A week later, the wedding of Konoha's Golden Flash and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina was officially held.

In the Uchiha clan’s territory, a family of three were eating and chatting in an apartment.

"Did the Patriarch attend the wedding?"

"Minato jonin invited, the clan leader went in person."

"He's just an elite jonin. The clan leader..."

"I heard that the clan leader's wife and that Jinchuriki were good friends. Also... after the Kirigakure retreated, there were rumors that Namikaze Minato would succeed as the Fourth Hokage."

"How could it be?! We sacrificed so many of our people just to let the Chief…"

"Silence!"

On a tree trunk not far from the apartment window, Uchiha Yan looked like a dead person, his eyes fixed on the house in the distance.

A white Zetsu's face was prominent on the tree trunk. He glanced at the Uchiha family and said, "No one would care about a missing Chunin, except his parents. But unfortunately, they also disappeared during the investigation of clues."

Missing...

Bai Zetsu looked at the young man in front of him silently.

There is a strand of red hair on the black hair.

Red represents the Uzumaki clan.

Although he is an Uchiha, his hair color is red, which is also the origin of his name Yan.

But because of this, they set their sights on Uchiha Yan.

Uchiha and Uzumaki...but sadly not.

The child's mother is not an Uzumaki either, and being able to resist Hashirama's cells was entirely due to his will, but this gave those people the illusion of success.

At this moment, voices sounded in Uchiha Yan's mind, and the double magatama in his eye sockets also began to rotate.

"If you become a failure, your sister will be your replacement."

"And your father and mother."

"We can't find any other members of the Uzumaki clan anymore. We need to capture them and produce experimental materials so that we can continue working on this topic."

"Failed……"

"But you're still alive... This is surprising to us."

"Want to see what you look like? You've become a monster, a monster that no one will recognize."

"We will conduct the second test in three days. If you want your parents and sister to survive, cooperate with us."

"Roar……!"

"Have your vocal organs degenerated? You really are a freak..."

On the tree trunk, Uchiha En, wearing a cloak, raised his head slightly. Inside a whirlpool mask, the tails of three magatama in his pupils were connected together.

With his hands clenched tightly, his whole body disappeared like a dream.

……

Outside Konoha Village, a team on a mission had just left the village half a day ago.

The three Chunins were chatting, and the client was following the Jonin who was leading the team.

"I heard the war is over?"

"It ended a month ago. Kirigakure submitted a peace agreement. Currently, there is indeed no conflict between the five major ninja villages."

"I hope I won't run into any ninjas, so I can settle my payment with a C-rank mission."

The leading jonin smiled and said, "I hope so too. It would be great if we can complete the mission peacefully..."

"puff."

Before he could finish his words, a blood mist splashed up.

Amid the exclamations, the leading ninja who was the first to react threw the client behind him and threw three kunai out with his hand.
