Go to Naruto World as a Earth Shadow

Chapter 251 Four Battles
The news of Jiraiya's death spread quickly, and within three days, the entire ninja world knew the news.

The death of any Kage-class is a major event, and no ninja village is so strong that even a Kage-class is dispensable.

Along with the news of Jiraiya's death in battle, there are many other kinds of information that spread throughout the ninja world.

For example, the combination of Yannin and Yunnin, such as Ohnoki's dust escape, but the one that surprised everyone in the ninja world is: Yichen.This guy, who was rumored to be the Fox of Iwanin by the melon-eating crowd who watched the excitement, unexpectedly also has the strength of Kage-level.

Everyone doesn't understand, can this kind of person who plays tricks and tricks also become a movie class?

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible, just look at Konoha's Danzo.

Thanks to Danzo, everyone accepted the fact that Yichen became a shadow class, and everyone had no plans to change Yichen's title, which directly shattered Yichen's slightest expectations.

Speaking of Danzo, the current Danzo can be said to be both excited and angry.

Excited because: Sannin lost two people one after another, leaving only Tsunade who suffers from hemophobia.It can be said that most of the power of the old rival and good friend Hiruzame Sarutobi disappeared at once.This is a good time for him to attack the position of Hokage.

But Danzo was also angry, because now everyone in the ninja world knew that Konoha had once again fallen into a period of weakness.Konoha's last period of weakness was when the Second Hokage died in battle, but the countries at that time were also weak, so Sarutobi Hiruzen was lucky enough to maintain the situation.

Later, Bai Fang rose up, Sannin was born, and Konoha suddenly entered its heyday. The process was so fast that the top leaders of all countries did not realize it.

But this time, everyone in the ninja world knew that it would be difficult for Konoha to have such an opportunity again.First of all, as opponents, the number of Kage ranks in the four major countries is no longer as small as when the second generation of Hokage died in battle.Well, except for Mist Ninja.

Now all ninja children know that the fourth ninja war is about to break out.

Danzo very much hopes to seize power at this time, but he also knows that if he wants to provoke an internal struggle at this time, he will definitely be targeted by everyone in the village.Perhaps only Uchiha will not target himself because of this.

Although Danzo's political skills are not as good as Sarutobi's Hiruzen, he is not stupid. Making troubles at this time will only become the target of public criticism.So this time Danzo chose to hibernate again after weighing for a long time.

Sarutobi Hirizhan is not afraid of Tuanzo coming out to make trouble, he knows how important this good friend is, if he is soft, he will be hard, if he is hard, he will be soft.If he dared to make trouble, he would take out the authority of Hokage to suppress it forcibly, and forgive him for not making any big disturbances.

But compared to Danzo, other things gave Sarutobi Hiru a headache.

The first is the high-end combat power of the village. When the news of Jiraiya's death came back, Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't even care about sadness, and immediately sent someone to find Minato Namikaze. With their own strength to prevent the upcoming four battles.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to ask about Uzumaki Kushina's situation. At this time, the only one who could give Sarutobi Hiruzen a little confidence was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who had just grown into an adult.

At this moment, he had already made a decision, whether it was Nine-Tails Jinchuriki or himself, he would participate in this battle.Otherwise, Konoha's top combat power might not be able to support the airs of the Third World War.

In addition to high-end combat power, there is another thing that makes Hiruzaru Sarutobi even more troublesome, and that is Uchiha.I won’t mention the historical entanglement between the two parties, but let’s talk about the last time Yichen made a big fuss about Konoha and kidnapped a Uchiha child.

At that time, Fu Yue discovered that the village arranged to monitor their Uchiha Anbu.This matter was not easy to explain, but at that time Fuyue actually let go of the person who robbed their Uchiha blood. Afterwards, the intelligence department speculated that the person should be Yichen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has reason to suspect that Fu Yue deliberately left a retreat for Uchiha.The high probability of this retreat is obviously Iwa Shinobi.

More importantly, among the people who besieged and killed Jiraiya this time, there was this Yichen, so Sarutobi Hiruza couldn't help but think about it.Will this Yichen reach an agreement with the Uchiha clan? Is there any Uchiha clan involved in the matter of Jiraiya this time?

Except for the Uchiha clan, the situation of the Hyuga clan is not very good. The Hyuga clan has complaints about the sacrifice of their former patriarch.Especially Hyuga Hyuzu, after he became the patriarch of the Hyuga Clan, he had much less contact with the high-level Konoha than when his father was there.

There are also a lot fewer members of the Hyuga clan who joined Konoha's regular ninja team to perform tasks.

And what makes Hiruzaru Sarutobi the most uncomfortable is that those ninjas who originally supported him have not been as firm as before in the past two years.

The reason for this is clear to Sarutobi Hiruza. It is precisely because Danzo put his hand into these families when recruiting people at the root of Danzo before, and Danzo chose the elite children of these families. The patriarch's genius.

After thinking for a long time, Hiruzaru Sarutobi said to his shadow guard captain: "Go to the country of Tang, look for traces of Tsunade, and bring Tsunade back."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know Tsunade's whereabouts, but he knew that Jiraiya would die in battle, and Tsunade would definitely go to Tango Country to have a look.

The captain of the shadow guard replied yes, and was about to leave, but he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen say: "Let's get in touch with Orochimaru too, and see what he means."

Orochimaru defected, thanks to Danzo, the crime of Orochimaru is very serious and solid, and it is impossible to return to the village.But Jiraiya died in front of Orochimaru after all. If it is said that Oroshemaru has no mood swings, Hiruzaru Sarutobi would not believe it.

He hopes to be able to convince Orochimaru that in the upcoming fourth battle, Orochimaru can hold back one or two Kage-levels from Yunin Village or Iwanin Village.

The captain of the Shadow Guard left immediately after responding again.

Not long after, Namikaze Minato came.

Namikaze Minato's eyes were red, and he was obviously in a bad mood, but as a little Taiyang, he still said to Sarutobi Hiruzen first: "Master Hokage, please forgive me."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Minakaze Minato, and finally there was a smile on his face. At least the will of fire has not been broken, and the inheritance of the will of fire will continue in the child in front of him.

"How is Kushina? How much power of Nine Tails can he control?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

Namikaze Minato was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the first sentence Sarutobi Hiruzen said would be this, but he reacted quickly, and immediately understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant, and said, "Don't worry, Hokage, Kushina grew up very well." Very good, if I unleash the power of Nine-Tails at full strength, even if I don't need to fly Thunder God, I can't do anything about her."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, looked at Minakaze Minato suddenly and said, "Minato, what do you think of the Uchiha clan?"

Namikaze Minato was taken aback again, every question Sarutobi Hiruzen asked today was beyond his expectation, the rhythm changed too fast.But after hesitating for a while, Namikaze Minato still expressed his inner thoughts: "There are radicals in the Uchiha clan, but there are also moderates. The Uchiha clan is dissatisfied with the village, but the village is also unfair to the Uchiha clan."

After saying this, Namikaze Minato lowered his head.

A trace of disapproval flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, but there was no way, the current situation was very different from before, and he and Danzo could no longer suppress the opposition in Uchiha.And on the eve of this war, it is impossible for the village to take the wrong medicine and use force against the Uchiha clan.

So after a long silence, Sarutobi Hirzen said: "Minato, maybe you are right, from tomorrow onwards, you will be the Fourth Hokage of the village."

This time Namikaze Minato was really stunned, he didn't understand why Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts jumped like this.

He raised his head and was about to refuse, but Hiruzaru Sarutobi waved his hand and said: "I am unqualified as Hokage, and I have not dealt with the problem well both externally and internally. responsibility."

"After the war begins, I will go to the front line as soon as possible. Even if I risk my life, I will win the war. The village will be handed over to you. Carefully coordinate the relationship between the village's senior management and Uchiha. I will also lead Danzo Go, I won't make trouble for you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also has no choice, he doesn't want to and can't compromise with the Uchiha clan, so he can only pin his hope of easing the relationship with the Uchiha clan on Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato took a deep breath, and after a while, knelt down on one knee and said, "Yes, Hokage-sama."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded in relief. Minakaze Minato has the courage to stand up in times of crisis, which further proves that he will be a good Hokage, and his choice this time is not wrong.

Finally Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked another question: "Minato, how much do you know about senjutsu?"

Senjutsu is mysterious to the ninja world, even to the four major ninja villages except Konoha, but it cannot be mysterious to Hokage.Hiruzaru Sarutobi read the detailed description from the documents left by Senshoubanjian.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked this question because he wanted to know the way Yichen learned celestial arts.Did Yichen learn the celestial arts from the Three Great Sacred Lands, or did they have immortal arts inherited from other places besides the Three Great Sacred Lands?

In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen's most hopeful explanation now is: Yichen's learning of immortal arts was an accident, and it was a natural talent.It would be a disaster for Konoha if Iwanin had mastered the complete inheritance of senjutsu.

Namikaze Minato said: "I've confirmed with Myoki-san that there is no known inheritance of sage arts in the ninja world except for the three holy places. Sensei Fukasaku and the others don't know how Yichen learned sage arts."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't get the answer, he was a little disappointed, but he didn't go into it further, just nodded slightly.

On the same day, Konoha held an emergency high-level meeting. The meeting was supported by three people and opposed by one person, and passed the decision that the third Sarutobi Hiruzawa would abdicate and the fourth Namakaze Minato would take over.

The person who opposed was naturally Danzo, but this time Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprisingly tough and decisive, and Danzo finally softened.

The next day, the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato officially succeeded to the throne on the roof of the Hokage Building.This time Namikaze Minato's superior position was very hasty, and he didn't even have time to notify the fire country daimyo.

For the corresponding procedures, it was the second day after Namikaze Minato took over, and Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura went to the capital of Fire Country to supplement the daimyo.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi brought Danzo with him wherever he went, naturally because he was afraid that this good friend would mess with Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato's high position is indeed a shot in the arm for Konoha, and the corruption of the three generations has long made the major families and some civilian elites dissatisfied.Namikaze Minato is satisfied by all parties in the village whether it is strength, military exploits, or affinity.

The most important thing is that everyone knows that Namikaze Minato and the Uchiha clan have a good relationship. At this precarious moment, Namikaze Minato can undoubtedly integrate the various internal factions better than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The fact is the same, each family is actively cooperating with some policies of this young man who, without accident, will be in charge of Konoha's power for the next few decades.Including various war preparations.

Also preparing are the other four big countries and the river ninja village of the river country.

The location of He Ninja Village is really not very good. It is between the country of fire and the country of wind, and it is an ally of the country of wind on the surface. It is easy to be targeted by Konoha.Sand Shinobi is actually more wary of Kawa Nin than being close to him.

If the Fourth Kazekage hadn't known that Kashinobu had two kage ranks, and tried his best to restrain his subordinates from conflicting with Kashinobu, Kazakhstan would have had friction with Sand Ninja long ago.

After all, since the two countries formed an alliance, there have been too many contacts.And Sand Ninja looks down on Kawa Nin, but Kawa Nin relies on the strength of his own leader and has been getting along with Sand Ninja as an ally, not wanting to be inferior to Sand Ninja.So the lower-level relationship between the two parties is very stiff.

But the biggest problem in Kawa Ninja Village is not the preparation for the war, nor the relationship with Sand Ninja, an ally, but the quarrel between the three high-level officials.

The content of Yahiko's quarrel is naturally about Jiraiya's death.Jilai was also the mentor of the three of them, and accompanied them through the weakest period, so after Jiraiya died in battle, the three kept arguing about whether to avenge Zilai.

Nagato and Xiaonan wanted revenge, but Yahiko felt that if he was blinded by hatred like everyone else, how would he end the war.

Disagreement between the two parties will naturally lead to quarrels.

But it was Yichen who made the few people contradict the most.Yichen played a big role in this self-death incident.

And this time, with the news of Jiraiya's death in battle, the most talked about is Yichen, the newly promoted movie class, so it feels like Yichen is the main force who killed Jiraiya.

So the three had different opinions again.

This time Nagato thinks that Yichen is the murderer who killed Jiraiya, while Xiao Kusu and Yahiko feel that Yichen also has difficulties.Because the information showed that Yichen was traveling with the third generation of Tsuchikage Onogi, and with his immediate boss, Yichen might just be performing a mission.
