The tribulation boss in Konoha World

After watching Itachi Uchiha escape, the Konoha ninjas were cleaning the battlefield, clearing the rubble, collecting the corpses, and their morale was low.

After Uchiha Itachi succeeded in assassinating the Third Hokage, the [root] ninja hiding in the dark had already passed on the information.

Danzo sat in the root base, listening to the information brought back by his ninjas. He breathed a sigh of relief and stood up slowly with his cane.

"Hiruzhan, you are dead after all." Danzo murmured, and then his hawk-like eyes showed a sharp look, "When I become Hokage, I will start to completely eliminate the Uchiha clan who were the masterminds of your assassination."

The news of the Third Hokage's death is beneficial to Danzo.In terms of qualifications, Danzo is the most likely candidate to become Hokage, and he can still be the acting Hokage for a period of time before the Jonin vote for the real Hokage.

He could also use the death of the Third Hokage as an important bargaining chip to liquidate the Uchiha clan.Although it was the Akatsuki mercenaries disguised as rain ninja who struck first, it was Uchiha Itachi who dealt the final blow to the Third Hokage.

From this point on, Uchiha can be beaten to death.

However, he is now weak and needs to regain his strength from scratch.Don't be too hasty when dealing with the Uchiha clan.

……

This time, Konoha's chunin exams were turbulent. On the surface, the rain ninjas launched a surprise attack during the exams, killing a large number of Konoha ninjas and ninjas from various villages who came to take the exams. Then, they were led by the Third Hokage. The Konoha ninja fought back.

Then Uchiha Itachi of the Uchiha clan launched a rebellion, assassinated the Third Hokage, raped the Hokage's advisor Nara Shikaku and then defected.

After the death of the Third Hokage and Hokage Advisor Nara Shikaku, Konoha's affairs fell into the hands of the only two top Konoha officials: Hokage Advisor Shimura Danzo and Hinata Nishiki.

The body of the Third Hokage was buried, and his name was engraved on the memorial tablet.On the day of the burial, all the prominent ninjas in Konoha attended the funeral.

Standing at the front of the team were Hyuga Nishiki, who was wearing white hair and black clothes, and Shimura Danzo, who was also wearing black clothes and half-body bandages.Behind the two were Konoha's Jounin and Special Jounin.

At this time, it began to rain lightly, and a young man with a beard looked sad and murmured: "Is even God crying?"

This man was wearing a Konoha Jonin vest and a fire-shaped belt around his waist.He is Sarutobi Asuma, the second son of Hiruzen Sarutobi.Earlier, he ran away from home after a quarrel with the Third Hokage, and went to the Fire Country Daimyo to serve as the guardian of the Twelve. He never returned to the village easily.

Despite his beard, he is actually of the same generation as Kakashi Obito and others. He is only in his early 20s now, one or two years younger than Hinata Nishiki.

After the funeral, Asma turned and left.

A young kunoichi with long black curly hair followed him and whispered: "Asuma, it's time for you to return to Konoha. Don't continue to wander away. The Sandaime has always wanted you to come back."

"I know. Kurenai, don't worry." Sarutobi Asuma said calmly, "There are many contradictions among the Twelve Guardians, and they are about to fall apart. By then I won't be able to stay any longer, and I will have to return to Konoha. .”

Seeing him like this, the kunoichi Yuhi Kurenai relaxed her brows slightly, and then asked: "If you come back, will you try to compete for the position of the Fifth Hokage?"

After a pause, she continued: "If you want to fight, the Yuhi family and I will stand on your side."

It wasn't raining heavily at this time, but it was still raining heavily.

Sarutobi Asuma looked at the sky, lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff, and slowly blew out a smoke ring.

"No more fighting. We can't fight." He said lazily, "Not to mention Danzo Shimura among the old man's contemporaries, even in our generation, we also have a strong man to support us."

"Hyuga Nishiki..." Yuhi Hong read that name with a complicated expression on her face.

Among their generation, Kakashi was promoted to Jonin the fastest. He was very strong. He followed the yellow flash across the battlefield of the ninja world and gained a lot of military exploits.

However, there was Hyuga Nishiki who suddenly rose from being unknown to a war hero who made important contributions on the battlefield. Within a few years, he became the leader of the Hyuga clan and became the Hokage's advisor during the Kumo ninja invasion.

"The fifth generation is either Shimura Danzo or Hyuga Nishiki." Asuma Sarutobi held half a cigarette in his mouth and said vaguely, "It could also be Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama, but neither of them has the temperament to fight for power. Only idle clouds and wild cranes."

The two were talking and walking when suddenly a ninja ran towards them. When he saw Asuma Sarutobi, he shouted: "Asuma-san, go back to Sarutobi's house quickly, something big happened!"

Asuma's expression tightened, he spit out the cigarette from his mouth, and hurried towards the residence of the Sarutobi clan!

On the day that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was buried, another bad news spread throughout Konoha.Sarutobi Hiruzen's direct descendants, including his eldest son, his daughter-in-law, and his eldest grandson, Konohamaru, died at home. The only one who survived was Sarutobi Asuma, who rushed back from the Fire Country Daimyo Palace to attend the funeral.

The time of death of the Sarutobi family was estimated to be from late yesterday evening to late at night. It was strange that they, as direct descendants of Hiruzen Sarutobi, did not show up for the funeral this morning.Some ninjas went to check and discovered the tragic situation.

The eldest son and daughter-in-law of Sarutobi Hiruzen were both ninjas from Konoha ANBU. They were not weak themselves, but they were killed silently. This was particularly frightening.

After the Konoha Anbu inspected the scene, they found traces of poisonous insects from the Aburame clan on the bodies of the Sarutobi couple. In addition, there were traces of the Nara clan's shadow magic and the Yamanaka clan's spiritual magic.

The ANBU thoroughly investigated the activities of the jounin within these three families and found that there was no difference. The person who did it was not a ninja from these three families.

The techniques used by the murderer come from various families but no such person has been found. This familiar feeling makes people want to look at a certain gloomy old man with half of his body bandaged.

……

"Who did it?!" Danzo, who returned to the [root] base after attending the funeral, burst into anger at Tenling Gai after hearing the news from his subordinates, "Hyuuga Nishiki or Uchiha?!"

Killing the Sandaime's direct blood relatives at this sensitive moment will undoubtedly make the already restless Konoha boil. It will cast a layer of indifference on Danzo, a senior Konoha executive who has always been a conspirator. A stain that is difficult to remove.

Danzo himself would definitely not do such a stupid thing, but since Root's activities were never recorded in order to be concealed, it would be difficult for him to clear his suspicions.

"In any case, the murderer of this matter can't be found. After all, I still have no pain in their hands." Danzo still refused to give up and wanted to compete for the position of Hokage.

The day after the death of Sarutobi and his wife, a group of family heads and two Hokage advisors gathered in the Hokage conference room, not to question Danzo, but to appoint an acting Hokage first.

Konoha is now in a power vacuum. Even if a tragedy occurs, the major families can still discuss the choice of Hokage as a top priority.

This is a matter of urgency.
