Konoha's Ninja Successor

In three days, Konoha mobilized to quickly calm down the turmoil caused by the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and the rescue operation was completed perfectly.

A large number of ninjas were able to free up their hands to perform tasks, and the defenses at the borders of the Fire Country began to be rearranged. Seeing that Konoha had no opportunity to take advantage of it, the forces in other ninja villages stopped taking action.

Building repair work has begun all over Konoha.

But on this day, the streets of Konoha Village, which should have been full of pedestrians, had very few people walking around.Except for some patrolling Konoha ninjas, everyone gathered at the memorial monument to mourn the heroes who died protecting the village, especially Namikaze Minato and Shimura Teru!

Everyone was wearing black plain clothes that represented solemnity and solemnity, and listened silently to the Sandaime Hokage's speech. As the bodies of Namikaze Minato and Shimura Teru were collected and buried, the civilians present, including some Konoha ninjas, could not bear it. I burst into tears.

This time the Nine-Tails Rebellion caused them to lose too much, and the dead included relatives, friends and lovers of the living.

The beloved fourth-generation Hokage Namikaze Minato died young. During his reign, Konoha showed a different vitality, and everyone was full of yearning and longing for the future.Most civilians only learned the news of his death today, and everyone is immersed in sadness.

Although Teru Shimura does not have any title, the influence of this young ninja in people's hearts is not low.People can often hear that he shocked ninjas from other countries when he went on missions, as well as his brilliant achievements in the Third Ninja War. Konoha is full of rumors and praises about him.Namikaze Minato and Shimura Teru are also very close. Shimura Teru is equivalent to the most prestigious person under Hokage.

I don’t know how many people were saddened by Shimura Teru’s death. Two of Konoha’s most talented rising stars suddenly died just after they shined.After the news of the hymn spread, the people of Konoha were devastated, but the ninjas from other countries' ninja villages outside applauded!

The funeral was held centrally, with Sarutobi Hiruzen personally reading the names of all the fallen heroes.Today, the sky above Konoha is filled with dark clouds called sadness.

It is not until nightfall that everyone leaves one after another. The dead take away their thoughts, but the living still need to work hard for tomorrow!

In the night, an old figure jumped to a memorial tablet.

This figure is none other than the leader of the Root Organization, Shimura Danzo.The place where he stood was the commemorative monument with Shimura Teru's name engraved on it.

Shimura Teru's expression and words seemed as if he had appeared in front of him yesterday. Shimura Danzo, who had experienced countless life and death separations, still felt a little dazed at this moment.His living child has now become a line of cold words, carved on this ridiculous stone.

With mixed feelings, Danzo Shimura went to the flower shop opened by Yamanaka Kai, and bought a flawless white chrysanthemum under the latter's surprised eyes. The flower meant to represent regret and nostalgia.

It seemed to Danzo that the flower vase in front of him had already been filled with bouquets. It seemed that many people had come to visit Shimura Teru before him.Danzo silently scattered the bouquets given by others and carefully placed the white chrysanthemum he bought himself.

After doing all this, Danzo Shimura stared at the words Shimura Teru on the commemorative monument for a long time.

Danzo, whose eyes were wandering, came to his senses, and when he turned around and was about to leave, he saw a group of teenagers dressed as gang members half-kneeling behind him. aware.

"A...what are you doing here?" Danzo glanced at the boy at the front of the queue. From his size, Danzo quickly judged that he was a member of the root codenamed A. These boys were all subordinates of Teru Shimura.

"Danzo-sama, Fai-sama has left. We hope you can train us and let us become as great a ninja as Fai-sama. We will inherit his ambition and become the new root of Konoha!" A's voice changed. She was hoarse, which was obviously caused by crying for a while before.

Danzo looked at Kabuto who had taken off his mask. His tear-stained face was full of determination and determination.

Danzo looked back, as did all the teenagers behind A. Although they were young, Danzo saw the potential in them.

The root members who follow Shimura Teru are all personally selected by Shimura Teru, and they are all young members.Danzo gave Shimura Teru sufficient autonomy. Except for the leader, A, who was poached by Shimura Teru, he did not have any interference in the selection of other personnel. These outstanding ninja materials are the "legacy" left by his son. .”

Hui...Only you can truly convey the root's belief to future generations. In the end, whether it is the role of father or leader that I play, both are failures.Danzo had a complicated look on his face and sighed in his heart.

Compared to using torture and curse seals to control the minds of his subordinates, Hui's methods were more sophisticated than his.Shimura Danzo was thinking a lot at this moment, and something had changed deep in his heart...

"Come with me, you will face the most brutal training, and I will polish you finely." After saying that, Danzo turned and left.

"Yes!!!" The teenagers including A responded in unison.

Danzo agreed to their request, and they were mentally prepared to face difficulties.Shimura Teru protected them very well on weekdays. To them, Shimura Teru was like a brother and father.

Now Shimura Teru's death has given them a great stimulus. They deeply feel the insignificance of their own power and want to become stronger and continue to protect the village that Shimura Teru cherishes. This is the only thing they want to do at the moment.

The teenagers followed Shimura Danzo away. These young people who are still in the seed stage will also bloom their own brilliance in the future.

......

In the backyard of the Hatake clan's mansion.

Hatake Sakumo was sitting at the door of the balcony wearing black plain clothes, frowning as he watched his son training hard alone with a short sword.

Kakashi is now wielding the Hatake Sword Technique that he personally taught him. Kakashi has been practicing since he was a child. He is both talented and hardworking in training.Usually when Kakashi is training, you can see the sword intent and fierce aura emitted by him wielding the short sword, but now he has completely disappeared.

All that was left was to swing the knife wantonly, as if venting the anger in his heart, without any rules, and his pace and breath were all messed up.Kakashi's mood was confused, which was a very bad sign.

"Stop! Kakashi." Hatake Sakumo's cold voice interrupted Kakashi's practice.

Seeing Kakashi stop what he was doing and looking at him with lifeless eyes that were as deep as a pool of water, Hatake Sakumo's heart suddenly trembled.

Kakashi's current state is exactly like that after he gave up the mission early. Hatake Sakumo realizes the seriousness of the matter. He does not want Kakashi to repeat his old path.

He once came out because of Shimura Teru's persuasion, and now Hatake Sakumo also wants to help his children come out.
