Konoha: The New Will of Fire

Konoha Ninja Hospital.

"I really don't know what those ANBU guys are doing? Originally, the patient only needed to be hospitalized for a week, but now the neck is displaced and it will take at least a month to be discharged."

When the doctor saw the examination report in his hand, he couldn't help but complain.

Thinking of the scene where Kakashi was carried to the hospital by the ANBU, with his neck tilted back and almost broken, the doctor couldn't help but shake his head.

Are ANBU saving people or killing people?

At the same time, the Hokage Building.

"is it?"

After listening to the report of Gan Qiao and the other three, the fourth generation was thoughtful.

The seemingly calm Yondaime had actually stirred up a storm in their hearts. Shisui and Inkyo were actually able to face off against the Six-Tails Jinchūriki and many Kirigakure ANBU.

The combat prowess of Ganqiao and Shisui may have surpassed that of the elite Jonin.

Minato knew that Mikichi and Shisui had hidden their strength, and that with only the strength of jounin, it was impossible to successfully destroy the material center guarded by the four-tailed jinchuriki.

However, even though Minato overestimated the fighting power of the two, it turned out that he still underestimated Ganqiao and Shisui.

Unexpectedly, these three members of Team [-] would grow up so fast. Inviting Qian Qiao to join ANBU was indeed a very correct decision.

Suddenly thinking of something, Minato's face turned slightly serious: "Kakashi's matter is kept confidential at the highest level. Thank you for your hard work."

"Okay, Yondaime!"

Qian Qiao nodded in agreement, and immediately left the Hokage Building with Shisui and Kai, and went to the Ichiraku Ramen Stall to eat ramen.

Yile was all smiles when he saw Qianqiao and the others.

In the end, it was natural and skillful to pay.

……

Unbeknownst to the others, Minato gave the information Kakashi obtained from Kirigakure to the Third Generation after they left.

When Sandai saw the content of the intelligence, his expression suddenly changed, and the pipe in his hand was so frightened that he dropped it to the ground, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

"Uchiha Madara is still alive..."

The third generation's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan", with a look of disbelief on his face.

Uchiha Madara's death was something that the First Hokage, Hashirama-sama, personally determined. It was Hashirama-sama who personally pierced Uchiha Madara's heart from behind.

Although the third generation did not see that scene with his own eyes, he heard the details of the battle in the Valley of the End from Master Tobirama.

Since it was determined by the first generation of adults personally, it stands to reason that there is absolutely no possibility of mistakes.

However, according to Kirigakure's information, the illusion that controlled the Third Mizukage was almost certainly performed by the Mangekyo Sharingan. Since Kirigakure identified it, it meant that there was enough evidence.

Not only that, the information also mentioned that the first generation master was the strongest in using Mu Dunsu.

"First-sama...and Uchiha Madara...are they all still alive?"

Sandai murmured in a low voice.

But as soon as this speculation popped up, Sandai banished it from his mind.

How can it be?

The third generation did not know the specific process of Uchiha Madara's death, but he was also a witness to the death of the first generation, and the second generation personally confirmed it.

However, Kirigakure's certainty cannot be groundless.

The third generation pondered for a moment and decided to go find Danzo.

Whether this news is true or false, it must be investigated clearly. Only with certainty can the third generation feel at ease.

That night, Sandai, accompanied by three ANBU, came to Danzo's home.

Because Danzo's Hokage assistant was forced to fire by the third generation, and the third generation himself replaced him, Danzo no longer stayed at the root base.

There is no place for him at the top, so staying at the bottom is just humiliating himself.

Danzo was very surprised to see Hiruzen arriving late at night, and he also realized in his heart that something big had happened, or something that Hiruzen couldn't solve, otherwise Hiruzen wouldn't have come looking for him, an abandoned son.

The stars are lonely, and the moonlight is like water, falling wantonly in the courtyard.

Danzo and Sandai were sitting opposite each other. There was a small stove on the small table in the middle, which was warming mellow sake, exuding a faint aroma of wine.

Danzo poured wine for the third generation and raised his hand.

"Please!"

Sandai took the wine glass to his nostrils and smelled it. The aroma of the wine hit his nostrils.

"Good wine!"

With that said, Sandai drank it all in one gulp.

There is something really special about sitting under the eaves and drinking warm sake late at night when the moon is bright in the sky.

The third generation glanced at Danzo who was silent, put down his wine glass gently, and sighed softly.

"Duanzo, do you still have grudges against me? Everything I did was for Konoha. Konoha belongs to young people. We old guys should gradually retreat."

Danzo ignored it and drank the hot wine quietly.

Familiar words, familiar routines, every time Hiruzen finished punishing him and asked him to help with something, he would do it. This was Hiruzen.

First, I act like I don't mean to punish you, then I tell you how selfless I am, and finally I say that the village needs you, and all this is for the sake of the village.

Danzo has experienced this many times, but this time Danzo is not prepared to accommodate Hiruzen.

When you want him, it's 'Duanzo, the village needs you', and when you don't want him, it's 'Duanzo, you're too dangerous'. '

Danzo also has a temper.

Seeing that this operation was useless to Danzo, the third generation stopped playing the emotional card and went straight to the point: "Kakashi was rescued by Minato. Kakashi who escaped from Kirigakure brought out a vital information".

With that said, Sandai handed the information to Danzo.

Danzo took the scroll, opened it, and glanced at it nonchalantly. Suddenly, Danzo's face froze and his pupils suddenly tightened.

"This is impossible!"

Danzo closed the scroll and shouted in a deep voice.

Both Uchiha Madara and the first Hokage are legends that have long since passed away. How can they still be alive?

Danzo didn't believe it.

Sandai said: "I also think this is impossible, but considering what happened recently in Kirigakure and what the intelligence said, we may have to beware of the worst case scenario."

Danzo raised his head, looked at the Third Generation with his sharp single eye, and asked directly: "Hiruzhan, do you want me to investigate the authenticity of the information?"

The two have been partners for decades, and Danzo instantly guessed Hiruzen's thoughts.

"That's right!"

The third generation nodded and admitted openly: "When it comes to intelligence exploration in other villages, your 'roots' are the strongest, even I can't compare."

During the Third War, most of the information on the enemy villages was provided by 'Gen'. This was also the reason why the Third Generation indulged Danzo, because Konoha needed Danzo.

Danzo heard this and said sarcastically: "You have canceled the 'root'. Konoha no longer has a 'root'. I can't help you with this matter. Hiruzen, forgive me for being helpless. You can discuss it with the Fourth Generation. He should There is a way, after all the fourth generation is a better Hokage than you."

Listening to Danzo's sinister tone, Sandaime Furui Mubo felt that if Danzo wanted to work honestly, the resentment in his heart would always have to be vented.

When Danzo said this, he paused, looked at the third generation, and asked: "Hiruzhan, are you afraid?"

The one eye as sharp as an eagle stared at the third generation. Danzo wanted to see something on his face, but the third generation's castle was so deep that Danzo could not read the third generation's thoughts from his face.

But as an old friend who has worked together for decades, Danzo knew the third generation so well that even if he couldn't tell it from his face, Danzo could guess something.

If he wasn't sure, how could he ask Hiruzen like this.

You must know that what was done to the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan back then, although he was the one who did it, it was Hiruzen who instructed them.

Danzo saw this and said: "Whether it is Uchiha Madara or the First Generation, if they are really alive, it will not be good news for you and me."

The third generation glanced at Danzo, looking like he didn't understand, and said calmly: "If the first generation is really alive, it will be Konoha's luck. If Uchiha Madara is still alive, he will definitely take revenge on Konoha, but he can stop Uchiha Madara. Only the first generation of adults.

This is Konoha's crisis, Danzo, how can there be any eggs under the overturned nest?"

Danzo heard the hint of reminder and warning in Sandai's words and snorted in his heart, but did not refute.

He needed a chance to regain power, and this was the perfect opportunity.

After drinking a glass of hot wine, Danzo suddenly asked: "Hiruzen, what are you going to do with the Uchiha clan?"

As soon as he said these words, Sandai's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, then continued to bring it to his mouth, drank the hot wine in the glass, and then said in a deep voice.

"Regarding the arrangements for the Uchiha clan, the Fourth Generation and I will take care of it. Your task is to determine whether Uchiha Madara and the First Generation are really alive."

Danzo heard this and snorted coldly.

"Sun Zhan, you will regret it!"

"Danzo, I am..."

woohoo...

The wind blew gently, rolling up the withered ginkgo leaves in the courtyard.
