Fifth Generation Uchiha Legend

Rain Country

Rain Shinobi Village

There was a burst of thunder in the sky of the Land of Rain, and the rain became heavier. Shimura Danzō was in the front courtyard of Hanzō of the Salamander's mansion, looking at Hanzo walking out of the mansion with a solemn face.

"how so?"

Hanzō of the Salamander walked out of the mansion and looked at Danzo in front of him, as well as the body bags placed on the luxurious floor behind Danzo, as well as the elite ninja wearing a mask standing behind the body bags, and asked softly with no expression on his face.

Hanzō of the Salamander narrowed his eyes slightly. For a person like Danzo who had no credibility, he did not expect that this guy would dare to come to the Land of Rain.

"It was already hopeless when we found it. Although the peace talks between us and the Earth Country have not yet been reached. But when we passed by, we saw that they were members of Hanzo-dono's tribe, so we sent them back here."

Danzo knew that he had offended Hanzo, and his tone was humble at this time, without the arrogance of the past. It seemed that he brought the body of the Sanshouyu tribe here to help others.

Seeing that Danzo had a humble tone and brought the corpses of his own people, Hanzo's expression softened a little and he asked in a deep voice:

"Sir Danzo, have you seen the murderer?"

"I'm afraid it's Akatsuki."

Danzo once again showed off his skills as a senior politician and said in a somewhat deep tone.

"Xiao? But Xiao is..."

Hanzo had long since lost his energy. He originally planned to destroy the Akatsuki organization, but after getting to know the organization, he found that the Akatsuki organization was not a class-stealing power grab as Hanzo thought, but an organization that promoted peace.

"An organization that promotes peace and develops strength in Rain Shinobi"

Danzo then added that during the Ninja War, Danzo spent a lot of time in the northwest stronghold, and he also understood Akatsuki.

"Yes, I understand the Xiao organization. It is an organization that has the same ambition as me, but why?"

Hanzo frowned in disbelief as he gained an in-depth understanding of Akatsuki in the Land of Rain.

Danzo seemed to share the same hatred for the death of the Han Tibetan people, and said:

"Lord Hanzo, you are letting them go too far."

"What?"

"There is nothing wrong with implementing your ideals, but this is also your weakness, Hanzo-dono."

"My weakness?"

"It is precisely because you have lofty ambitions that you are too tolerant of people with ambitions. However, such indulgence eventually became a hidden danger, affecting the fish in the pond, which led to the occurrence of this tragedy.

No matter how lofty your ambitions are, the same approach does not apply to everyone. Even if you initially show the same attitude of pursuing your ideals as you, in the end, they are just a bunch of people.

In the end, they will be dominated by desire and power and transform into monsters. Peel off the high-sounding cloak of the Akatsuki organization and you will find that they are just a group of rats intent on subverting Rain Shinobi Village.

Sir Hanzo, if this continues, your village may be taken away by them..."

Danzo once again deceived and taunted Hanzo, carefully analyzing the situation for Hanzo, focusing on describing the threat from the Akatsuki organization, emphasizing that Hanzo's power might be subverted and his village would be taken away.

Hanzo watched the show from the beginning to frowning at the end, and then to his expressionless face at the end.

Danzo looked at Hanzo's expression and knew that Hanzo was moved by what he said. His face was also expressionless, but he felt a sense of joy in his heart.

"With the power of the Rinnegan, if Hanzo takes action, it will be easy to kill them."

Danzo has already imagined that Hanzo went on a killing spree, then recovered the body himself, dug out the eyes and transplanted them, and then returned to Konoha Village to serve as the Hokage of Konoha and dominate the ninja world.

Danzo's cold face couldn't help but soften slightly at this time. The things he thought about were too beautiful, and his face seemed to look better.

...

"Third Generation, you have been criticized for your peace talks with Sand Shinobi, and now you are launching peace talks with Rock Shinobi..."

"Who will be responsible for the Konoha Shinobi who died in the war?"

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu heard the Third Generation's opinions and agreed with them, but the result of the peace negotiation must be to find a way to resolve the resentment of the villagers and ninjas.

In the Hokage office, after the memorial ceremony was held in front of the commemorative monument, the sky seemed to sense that the sad atmosphere was over, and turned to sunlight, shining into the small conference room of the Hokage building.

"I am the Third Hokage. Naturally, I am responsible. If the village suffers such losses, I should take the blame and resign and elect the Fourth Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rarely lit his pipe this time, but said expressionlessly that he was looking for two classmates to discuss, just to ask about the candidate for the Fourth Generation.

When the two consultants heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words and felt the determination of Third Generation, they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Who do you intend to be the Fourth Hokage?"

Mitokado Homura asked seriously.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura are the elite escorts of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. They are the confidants of the Second Generation and were ordered to take over in times of crisis.

Utatane Koharu also looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen to understand the opinions of Third Generation first.

The war has not completely subsided, and Shimura Danzō of the advisory group is still active in gathering intelligence and sabotage in the dark, making contributions on the Rock Shinobi battlefield.

Everyone's rights come from their classmate Third Hokage. After Third Hokage abdicates, how to ensure their own rights is the focus of Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu's consideration.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said without any hesitation:

"Orochimaru, Orochimaru Sannin has a great reputation, is strategic, and acts steadily. He is the best candidate for the Fourth Generation project."

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at each other. Orochimaru is very good, as Sarutobi Hiruzen said, but Orochimaru has become famous for a long time and has many fans in Konoha. If Orochimaru becomes the leader, what will happen to the two of them then?

"Although Orochimaru is good, Orochimaru is obsessed with ninjutsu, and Orochimaru has a cold personality and his image is not friendly enough."

Mitokado Homura said in a deep voice the shortcomings of Orochimaru. As for the image not being friendly enough to the people, it was completely nonsense.

Being a Hokage is not an ambassador. What the ninjas and villagers of Konoha want is a strong and reliable leader, not a good-looking one.

After hearing the words, Utatane Koharu nodded slightly as if to agree, and said softly:

"Orochimaru's shortcomings cannot be ignored. I think the yellow flash is very good. It is powerful, sunny and friendly to the people, and has great contributions. It has made a Penultimate contribution in the Ninja War. Third Generation, consider the yellow flash."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly after hearing the words. Did he think wrongly? Was Orochimaru not the best candidate?

"I know, I will recommend it carefully."

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu looked at each other, stood up, and left without replying, leaving Sarutobi Hiruzen to think about it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the pipe, lit it with a lighter, took a puff and narrowed his eyes.

"Minato is indeed good, but compared to Orochimaru, he is still a little greener. If Orochimaru is the Fourth Hokage, I believe Orochimaru can manage Konoha in order, and I can enjoy my life in peace."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had thought it over carefully and made a decision. He wrote the words "Orochimaru" on a piece of white paper with a pen, showing a satisfied look. Then Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly.

"Orochimaru has been famous for a long time, and his influence is intertwined. He has many fans. If Orochimaru is the Fourth Hokage, will I just live in peace? Namikaze Minato is also very good, young and outstanding, and at the same time, he needs the help of the elderly..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were a little deep. He crumpled the paper with Orochimaru's name on it into a ball and threw it away. On the white paper next to it, he wrote Namikaze Minato's name.

"Yan and Koharu are right..."

Several senior people have never taken the Tsunade exam. Tsunade, one of the Sannin, is the most famous ninja in the Sannin. Sarutobi Hiruzen did not consider Tsunade in the first place because he was already concerned about Tsunade's prestige and power, so he chose to recommend Orochimaru.

With the advice of two consultants, it was discovered that compared to Orochimaru and Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru's strength and popularity are not low. Namikaze Minato was born as a commoner and was powerful, but he became famous late and his power was not strong enough.

Namikaze Minato's teacher Jiraiya has no desire for power. Although Jiraiya has many fans, he is the least among the Sannin.

As for Uchiha Naraku and White Fang Hatake Sakumo who made great contributions in the three battles, the senior management did not even mention it.
