Naruto: Konoha Glory

Konoha Village, inside the Hokage Building.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

A slightly hasty knock on the door awakened the Sandai Hokage who was in deep thought.

"Come in."

As the words fell, a ninja from the intelligence department walked in with an excited look.

Seeing this situation, Hiruzaru Sarutobi subconsciously grasped the palm of the tobacco rod.

"Report, Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Kyosuke have teamed up to defeat Tsuchikage, and Iwanin has already evacuated the country of grass." The visitor read the information aloud with excitement.

"Haha, yes, yes." After saying yes three times in a row, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's laughter spread throughout the entire Hokage Building in an instant.

"What happened, Hirizhan." Outside the door, Zhuanju Xiaochun and Mito Menyan walked in, they heard their companion's smile, and looked at him curiously.

"The battlefield of the Land of Grass was won." After laughing heartily for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who regained his composure, told the good news to the two of them.

Hearing this, the two snatched the information from the ninja and looked down carefully.

After a long time, Koharu went to bed and said with a sigh: "Kyosuke and Minato, these two children are really... very outstanding. I have someone to succeed Konoha."

"That's right." Hiruzaru Sarutobi echoed with a smile.

The three chatted and laughed for a while, and Mito Menyan suddenly asked, "Hiizhan, what do you think about the war compensation?"

"...For the sake of peace and the relationship between the two villages, let's forget about the compensation." Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while, and then expressed his plan.

Looking at the expressions of the two old partners, he knew that it was not a good decision to do so.

But the war with Iwanin finally came to an end, and it’s not easy to cause extra problems at this time. In case Onogi regenerates some ideas under excessive pressure, who will bear the responsibility at that time.

"Hey." Sighing, Xiaochun turned to bed and looked at his companion and said, "Ri Zhan, do you understand the consequences of doing this?"

"I know." With a slight smile, Sarutobi Hiruzen said without hesitation: "This kind of decision will arouse a lot of dissatisfaction. I have decided to take the blame and abdicate after the war."

"Then...have you decided on the candidate for the Yondaime?" Koharu saw him discussing this topic when he went to bed, and asked this key question.

"The next candidate, I have to think carefully."

Although they said this, the two people who were familiar with Sarutobi Hiruzen's character knew that he had probably already decided on the candidate.

No longer dwelling on this issue, Zhuanzhu Xiaochun pointed to a piece of information on the intelligence and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

"Fei Leishen's art, Kyosuke, this kid's talent is really amazing." The expression on Sarutobi's face made the two of them unable to guess his true thoughts.

In desperation, the three of them discussed something about the future actions of the Northwest Army Corps, and the two left.

"The crisis of the Iwa ninja has been resolved, and the Sand ninja is no longer relevant now. The only thing left is the Kumo ninja."

Shaking the cigarette stick, Hiruzaru Sarutobi subconsciously looked at the information about Minato Namikaze beheading hundreds of people alone, and the smile on his face became brighter.

"Xiaochun is right, Konoha really has a successor."

......

On the second day after the Iwanin War ended, Kakashi Hatake, who was covered in injuries, came to the camp of the Northwest Army alone.

After hearing the news, Kyosuke and Minato Namikaze hurried out.

The team that failed to respond earlier had already returned, so Kyosuke already knew the news that they were attacked.

Unlike Namikaze Minato and others, when Kyosuke heard that Lin and Obito were dead, his first reaction was that Uchiha Madara shot.

For this reason, Kyousuke felt quite guilty in his heart.

Unexpectedly, after all the calculations, the enemy would be so impatient to attack the three of them on the way. Kyosuke, who was on the battlefield, naturally had no time to rescue them.

Even his previous plans may come to nothing. Even if he goes to Madara's cave to rescue Obito, can Obito really be "rescued" now that Lin is dead? ...Kyosuke expressed doubts about this.

But whether Obito's heart can be saved, this kind of thing should be considered by Kakashi and Namikaze Minato as a teacher, as long as he brings it back.

Whether public or private, Kyosuke thinks he should try it out, and he can't completely give up on him because of this.

What's more, although there is some uncertainty about Uchiha Madara's current strength, Kyosuke, who has Flying Thunder God by his side, still wants to try to face Uchiha Madara.

Putting down the thoughts in his heart for the time being, Kyosuke quickly asked someone to take the seriously injured Kakashi down for treatment, while he himself returned to his tent, waiting patiently for the news from Konoha.

......

Another day later, Konoha's instructions were finally issued. As expected by Kyosuke and Saori, Hiruzaru Sarutobi really let the defeated Iwanin just like that. Not to mention war compensation, even a verbal apology was not enough. No.

The former sand ninja, the current iwa ninja, Konoha, or Sarutobi Hiruzen as Hokage, his weakness without a bottom line made everyone feel completely chilled.

Although the Northwest Legion did not experience any major chaos, everyone could sense that the actions of the Third Hokage had completely lost their hearts.

People with a keen sense of smell, such as Hinata Hinata, Inokacho, etc., have already begun to consider the next Hokage candidates.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and even Tsunade who did not show up when the war came, were all among their guesses.

What's interesting is that Minato Namikaze, who is in the limelight, and Danzo Shimura, who is so powerful, are not in their consideration.

The former can be described as being relatively junior. As for the latter... I can only say that what Danzo has done over the years is really unpopular.

Perhaps the position of Hokage can only be handed down to direct line members, and perhaps there are many inside stories, but it is undeniable that every Hokage is indeed very popular, except Danzo who has only been acting as Hokage's agent for a few days.

Kyosuke actually agrees with some of Shimura Danzo's ideas, but as he said just now, it is impossible for him to sit on the throne of Hokage if he is unpopular. Even if he barely sits, he will be kicked off after a while.

That's why Kyousuke has fought desperately for many years. Strengthening strength is one aspect, and the other is to win the hearts of the people as much as possible.

Among other things, Kyosuke, who has experienced three battlefields, has directly or indirectly saved countless ninjas, not to mention those who have been working with him.

Once there is a change in the future, these people will become his support, even if they will not stand by his side in a clear-cut manner, as long as they can guarantee neutrality, it is enough to support him on the day when Jingsuke monopolizes power.

"Uchiha Madara, Sarutobi Hiruzen... just wait, one day..."

Lying on the bed, Kyosuke gradually fell asleep as he thought about it.
