Warlock Invasion Naruto

Chapter 141 Civil War Phantom God
Leaf Village.

Next door to Hokage's office, in the high-level conference room, four high-level Konoha leaders, as well as a group of jounin, gathered here.

"Yanyin Village can cease fighting! But we must agree to our conditions!"

"Exactly! With such a huge price for us, can we just let them go so easily?!"

"Continue to fight, the village can no longer support it!"

"Don't beat Yan Yin hard now! Sooner or later there will be four battles!"

"I support fighting again!"

"We must defeat Yan Yin!"

"If Yan Yin doesn't pay compensation, then fight!"

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the main combat faction was aggressive.

The third Hokage Sarutobi's face sank like water, and he fell into silence.

Danzo on the side smiled secretly, but on the surface he remained calm.

Since Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato repelled the Iwagakure army on the frontal battlefield of the Northwest Front, the Namikaze Minato squad successfully blew up the Kannabi Bridge, and the Iwagakure army suffered heavy losses, and finally withdrew from the country of grass and returned to the land of soil within the country.

Afterwards, faced with the truce agreement that Konoha offered to hand over, Iwagakushi's third Tsuchikage Onogi agreed to the truce, but Iwagakushi would not pay Konoha as the defeated party.

In this regard, some ninjas who suffered heavy losses in the war expressed strong dissatisfaction, and many ninjas did not agree with Iwain's conditions.

If it is in the early and middle stages of the war, as long as Yan Yin is willing to cease the war, most people will definitely be willing to cease the war, even if they give up some benefits.

After all, in the early and middle stages of the Third World War, Konoha was surrounded by enemies. Facing the siege of the Four Great Ninja Villages, the combat power was stretched. If it weren't for Kushina and Shiraha who repelled the third generation of Raikage, I don't know what the war would be like. when.

But since Yunyin withdrew his army, Orochimaru defeated Sand Yin, and regained Kikyo Castle, the situation reversed instantly.

Konoha is now fully capable of freeing up his hands to deal with Yan Yin with all his strength.

It is true that some conservatives are correct. Konoha suffered heavy losses in this war, and continuing the war will also delay the recovery time.

But for the main fighters, they have lost so many companions and clansmen, if they can't get some compensation, then their clansmen died in vain!

What you need to train ninjas is resources and money!

Is it generating electricity for love?
Konoha suffered heavy losses, as did other villages. Now if Konoha is determined to continue fighting with Iwain, Iwain is definitely not an opponent. If you face the last village alone, there is no Ninja village that is Konoha's opponent.

After all, the Hyuga Clan and the Uchiha Clan on the Eastern Front have joined forces to repel Kirigakure Village, and it is only a matter of time before Kirigakure is completely defeated.

"I can understand everyone's thoughts, but the village really can't continue to fight, so we can only accept Iwagakushi's conditions." Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at the people in the field apologetically, the risk of fighting again was too great, so He chose the safest path.

"If you don't continue to consume Yanyin's troops now, they will make a comeback sooner or later. In all the ninja wars, it was Sand Yin and Yan Yin who took the lead. Some time ago, Sand Yin Village proposed to form an alliance with the village. You agreed not to pay compensation for the third generation, that is Because Shayin Village is too poor, it’s fine if you can’t afford it, but Yanyin will definitely be able to pay for the compensation we demand, and I will never agree to a truce like this!”

The clan elder of the Hara Senju Clan said in a deep voice, he was very indignant at Sarutobi Hiruzen's behavior. In this war, nearly half of the ninjas of the Hara Senju Clan were killed or injured. The elite of the clan was almost wiped out.

If it weren't for the awakening of Mu Dun's power after Sheng Shu was reborn from a severed limb, the Qianshou clan would have existed in name only.

"If there is another fight, I would like to be the first to go to the battlefield!" Zhishu said, since he awakened the power of Mu Dun, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is already close to the shadow level.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed helplessly, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Namikaze Minato said: "Everyone, the third generation of adults also has his own difficulties, if he continues to fight Iwagakure, he must lead his army into the land of the land.

The terrain there is rugged, easy to defend but difficult to attack, fighting in different places, and the opponent has a geographical advantage, our ninjas can't take advantage.

Once in a protracted war, logistical support is a huge problem.

If we suffer setbacks in the Land of Earth, it is very likely that we will not even be able to keep our current results.

The war has already had a great impact on the village's economy. The sooner the war ends, the sooner peace will be restored and the village will recover as soon as possible.

In this war, we have lost too many companions and sacrificed too many ninjas.

Giving up compensation is really a helpless move! "

Namikaze Minato's words are well-founded and very pertinent, and many Jonin from grass roots agree.

After all, even if they get war indemnity, the family will get the most money, and they will get even less profit.

Even in terms of excluding benefits, this battle has exhausted them. Even Jonin, it takes a certain amount of luck to survive. They really don't want to fight with the enemy anymore.

The dead family members, friends, and companions cannot be replaced by a little money, and if the war continues, there will be more victims.

It's time to end the war!

"It's easy to say, without war reparations, wouldn't our people die in vain?!"

As soon as Namikaze Minato finished speaking, someone refuted.

The seat of the buttocks is different, even if Namikaze Minato's words are reasonable, they cannot agree.

Namikaze Minato was about to argue again, Sarutobi Hiruzane showed a look of relief on his face, and waved his hand at him, motioning him not to speak again.

"Even if there is no need for war reparations, Yanyin Village will not thank Konoha. That old fox Onogi will still attack Konoha whenever he has the chance." Danzo, who had been silent all the time, said lightly.

At this time, Hiruzaru Sarutobi stood up, and said with a shameful face: "Everyone, as the third Hokage, I will take responsibility for this incident and the wrong decision in the war."

"How are you going to be responsible?" Danzo asked.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked directly at Danzo, and said, "I will resign as the Third Hokage!"

"what?!"

"Three generations of adults, you can't compare to this level!"

"Three generations, things haven't reached this point yet, everyone will make mistakes."

When they heard that Hiruzaru Sarutobi was about to resign from the position of Hokage, many Jonin panicked. After all, during his more than 20 years in office, he did not say much about his achievements. With the road to promotion, many small and medium families, as well as ninjas from civilian backgrounds, supported him very much.

It's a pity that because of the Sakumo incident, many high-ranking ninjas were chilled. In addition, the village did not retain such strong people as Kushina and Baiyu, which caused a great loss of Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation.

Some command mistakes in this war are actually not a big problem. The most important thing is to win the war.

On the Western Front, in order to regain Kikyo Castle with fewer victories and more, Orochimaru used dozens of Jōnin as bait, resulting in heavy casualties, but most ninjas can understand Orochimaru, because even if they are going to die, Orochimaru is on the other front , but also facing many powerful enemies, rushing to the forefront of the battlefield.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's key series of problems have exploded in recent years, which has caused his support among Jonin to drop a lot.

Of course, his support among the majority of villagers is still very high, because many policies have brought tangible benefits to the people at the bottom.

"There is no need to persuade everyone. I will go to see Daimyo-sama in the near future and mention this matter to him. In addition, everyone can nominate candidates for the fourth Hokage. The person who is recognized by everyone will succeed the fourth generation." Hiruzaru Sarutobi continued road.

Danzo narrowed his eyes, he didn't expect Hirazan to resign from the position of the third generation so decisively, originally he thought that Hirazhan would definitely occupy this position for a few more years.

If Hirizhan abdicates, Orochimaru is definitely the most promising candidate to become Hokage.

Today's instigation of ninjas to attack Japan is the result of Danzo's recent efforts in many ways. After all, in this war, many ninjas are counting on receiving war reparations after victory.

Danzo was afraid that Hiruzaru Sarutobi would delay the selection of the fourth generation for various reasons after the war, so he wanted to take this opportunity to pull him from the position of Hokage as soon as possible.

Facts have proved that Danzo's calculation was not wrong.

The fact that Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to abdicate caused a sensation in Konoha.

Even Daimyo persuaded him many times to continue serving as Hokage. After all, for Daimyo, as long as Konoha is stable, it is enough to continue to win in the war.

Not to mention the ability and achievements of Sarutobi Hiruzen, but at least three victories in the Ninja World War were won in his tenure.

Daimyo wants results.

Hatake Sakumo, the fourth-generation Hokage heir he was most optimistic about at the time, committed suicide, and it doesn't make much difference who is Hokage.

Orochimaru is the one who has the highest voice for Konoha to succeed the Fourth Hokage. Because Jiraiya has repeatedly stated publicly that he will not compete for the fourth Hokage position, a considerable number of Jonin who support him have chosen to support his disciple Namikaze Minato.

With his amazing performance in the third Ninja World War, Namikaze Minato's reputation has surpassed the three of them. Just the order issued by the senior management of Iwagakure Village that "you can give up the mission without punishment when encountering golden flashes" is enough to show the lack of respect for his strength. recognized.

However, to everyone's surprise, it was not Tsunade, but the root leader, Shimura Danzo, who had the same approval rating as Namikaze Minato.

Danzo has assisted three generations since the first Ninja World War, and has been active in World War II and World War III.

If it weren't for his ruthless style of acting, maybe his approval rating would not be lower than Orochimaru.

At this time, in Genbu's headquarters, Orochimaru and Danzo were talking in the bottom room.

"Danzo, why is there a shortage of the experimental subject you promised to give me?"

Orochimaru asked with a grim complexion.

At a critical moment in his experiment, the number of experimental subjects was not enough, which made him very annoyed.

Not only is the curse seal experiment stagnant, but the progress of the wood escape experiment is very slow, and now even his most important forbidden technique of reincarnation is also stuck in a bottleneck.

"Don't you care about the ownership of the Fourth Hokage at all?" Danzo's face was slightly gloomy, and he was a little dissatisfied with Orochimaru's attitude.

Orochimaru said: "Don't you understand? No matter how many candidates there are for the Fourth Hokage, the old man's support is the key."

This is Orochimaru's self-confidence. He believes that with so many years of master-student relationship and mutual understanding, the third generation will definitely choose him. In this generation, he will still do a good job in this Hokage, cultivate a suitable successor early, inherit his position, and then continue to experiment.

From the current point of view, the person Orochimaru is most interested in is Rope Tree. After he awakened Mu Dun, he has become one of the most powerful people in Konoha.

"That Namikaze Minato is a big threat. With his performance in the third battle, he will be your strong opponent. Aren't you afraid that the third generation will turn to support him?"

Danzo continued.

Orochimaru smiled lightly, maybe after Minato Namikaze learned the technique of flying Raijin, his strength has surpassed him, but in the competition for the position of Hokage, he didn't take a junior like Minato Namakaze to heart at all.

Seeing Orochi's expression of knowing everything in his chest, Danzo didn't have much joy in his heart.

It is true that after Orochimaru takes over, according to their previous interests, Danzo will have greater power and a higher status.

But at this moment, Danzo feels that he is the closest to the position of Hokage in his life.

As long as there is no Orochimaru blocking the way, he will have a greater chance of becoming the Fourth Hokage. After all, a Minato Namikaze who has no deep roots, why should he compete with him.

He and Sandai have supported each other for decades, will Sandai really support Minato Namaze and give up on him?
Thinking of this, Danzo couldn't hold back in his heart.

"I will prepare for the experimental subject as soon as possible. After all, you also know that the war is coming to an end, and it is much more difficult to catch spies than before."

"Yeah." Orochimaru nodded, turned around, and was about to leave.

"How far have you progressed in the research on Mutun cells?" Danzo asked. He never expected that Shengshu would also awaken Mutun, and it seemed to be more powerful than the 'jia' he had carefully cultivated. , although there are reasons for the age gap, and the reason why Naoki is the first grandson, there must also be reasons why Orochi Marugi's experiment is not as complete as Iori Hakuba.

"I don't have the energy to continue these experiments during this time." Orochimaru frowned slightly. Naoshu is his disciple, and he also extracted cells from Naoshu's legs for research. Facts have proved that Bai Yu's technology in the regeneration of severed limbs has already Far surpassed him as a teacher, so Orochimaru has now focused his energy on other aspects.

Danzo looked at the back of Orochimaru leaving, and his face gradually became gloomy: "As a teacher, he is not even as good as a disciple!"

Since the Mutun experiment, Orochimaru has given him fewer and fewer results. At the high-level meeting, he boasted that Haikou would complete the forbidden technique of reincarnation in the dirty soil, but because Orochimaru did not put his mind on this aspect, the experiment Progress is slow.

"Come on!"

Danzo said solemnly to the empty room.

brush!
Three root ninjas appeared in the room using the instant body technique, kneeling on one knee.

"Catch some ninjas who were born as civilians in the village and send them to Orochimaru. Also, find some orphans around the village."

Danzo said indifferently.

"What? Capture the ninjas in the village?" Even the ninjas who had undergone brainwashing training were taken aback.

"What? Do you dare to disobey my order?!" Danzo narrowed his eyes.

"Yes!"

The three Anbu took orders and left the root headquarters.

"It seems that we have to find a way to increase the confidentiality level inside the root." Danzang thought to himself, the members of the root have been brutally trained, but there are always exceptions. The first one is the pharmacist Nonoyu. Brainwashing training is not enough, we have to find a way to develop a technique, so that the secrecy is higher.

"Oshemaru, this time, make way for me."

Danzo thought to himself.
