Konoha: The New Will of Fire

Is Fugaku ambitious?

Of course there is. Who doesn't want the position of Hokage? As the leader of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku also wants to become Hokage and surpass the great achievements that even Uchiha Madara could not achieve back then.

But Fugaku knew very well that Uchiha did not have this power. The Senju family had occupied the position of Hokage for many years, and it was difficult for the families to accept the leadership of Uchiha. Of course, the most important thing was that Uchiha was not strong enough.

But it's different now. Uchiha has four pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, him, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Asuka.

The rising status and the growing power of Uchiha made Fugaku, the clan leader's ambition rapidly expand.

Fugaku believes that Uchiha Madara has been hidden for many years and must have other powers in his hands. However, cooperating with Uchiha Madara is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. Although the other party is the original leader of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku can feel that he has not treated him as a human being. Uchiha, when he mentioned Uchiha, there was no fluctuation in his eyes, and there was even a flash of cold murderous intent.

Therefore, Fugaku must understand Uchiha Madara's trump card and Uchiha Madara's true identity. Even at this moment, Fugaku is not sure whether the other party is really Uchiha Madara?

Naruto Building.

After listening to Kakashi's report, Qian Qiao pondered for a while and still said: "Order the first and second squadrons of the security forces to station at the Greer Stone Base."

Hearing this order, Kakashi raised his head suddenly, his face hidden under the mask was unbelievable, and he said in disbelief: "The Fifth Generation, Uchiha is now..."

Qian Qiao waved his hand and interrupted Kakashi: "I know, but if I just rely on some superficial investigations, I will guard against the Uchiha clan who have made great contributions to Konoha and put them in cold storage. "Ye is irresponsible. As Hokage, I can't make decisions based on speculation. Konoha has been established for decades, and everything Uchiha does is seen by everyone."

Kakashi felt an uproar in his heart when he heard what Qianqiao said.

This courage and mind made Kakashi ashamed and admired at the same time.

Over the years, Kakashi has followed Gian Qiao. Kakashi has seen everything Gian Qiao does. He has pressured all the senior officials to propose reforms for Konoha, and has faced the major families with the greatest openness to solve problems for the family and the village. conflict between them.

Kakashi subconsciously put him in a clever position. If he heard this kind of news, he would definitely be wary of Uchiha. Thinking that as the captain of the ANBU, he would be affected by such news without evidence, he felt ashamed.

He also admired Qian Qiao more and more. Facing an ambitious and powerful Uchiha, Qian Qiao could still be so trustworthy. This courage far exceeded that of the third generation Hokage in the past.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Fifth Generation convinced many family members and surrendered all the Sannin of Konoha.

Kakashi said seriously: "I understand."

With that said, Kakashi turned around and left, giving the order.

Qian Qiao then turned around and looked at Kakashi's leaving figure, thoughtfully. Kakashi still had some prejudice against Uchiha.

However, Uchiha Fugaku, has your ambition really grown?

Turning around and looking at Konoha under the bright lights, it was extremely prosperous. As far as the eye could see, the high outer walls had been demolished and large buildings were being built.

In seven years, under his leadership, Konoha carried out a series of reforms. He skillfully used the knowledge of the 21st century combined with Konoha's own situation to wipe out Konoha from the inside out.

However, Qianqiao can sweep away the remaining Shen Ke in Konoha for decades, but it cannot sweep away the hearts of the people.

Over the years, Gan Qiao has focused all his attention on Konoha's reform and has not interfered in other matters. However, he still understands the current situation in the ninja world from the intelligence.

Since the battle in Yuyin Village, Akatsuki has been unable to hide at all and can only walk from behind the scenes to the front.

Over the years, Nagato has relied on Amegakure Village to recruit troops. Just like in the original plot, he has gathered many rebel ninjas under his command.

Not only that, Yunyin Village and Yanyin Village have close ties with Nagato. The two sides seem to have turned from enemies into partners. Some things that are difficult to solve in Yunyin Village and Yanyin Village are secretly hired by Akatsuki.

Qianqiao is not surprised about this. There is not much hatred in the ninja world, and interests are eternal. Facing the increasingly powerful Konoha, it is inevitable for other forces to join forces.

Sunagakure has also been unstable in recent years. They broke the seal placed in Loulan by the fourth generation, took the underground dragon vein as their only possession, and rebuilt Sunagakure Village based on the underground dragon vein. It is said that it became prosperous and its strength increased greatly.

Gan Qiao is very doubtful about this. Sunagakure didn't do this in the original plot, and who broke Minato's seal. Sunagakure doesn't have this ability. If they did, they would have done this long ago. I always feel like There is a big hand behind the scenes pushing Sunagakure forward.

There is also Kirigakure, which has re-isolated itself and cut off contact with the outside world. No one knows what is happening inside Kirigakure.

In short, the seemingly peaceful ninja world is actually undercurrents, and it always feels like a pair of black hands are pushing something secretly.

Qian Qiao murmured silently: "It seems that I have to make preparations early. The Snow Country cannot delay, and there are still Hashirama Cells..."

……

Grayl's Stone Base.

Jiraiya watched Orochimaru put a piece of flesh tissue into the green culture medium next to him, with a disgusted look on his face, and subconsciously overidentified it.

Orochimaru noticed Jiraiya's reaction from the corner of his eye, and smiled softly: "Why do you have time to come to my place today? Don't you like entering my laboratory the most?"

Jiraiya rolled his eyes and replied, "I just want to ask you if the immortal potion I specially customized is ready."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound broke through the air, and something flew towards him. Jiraiya subconsciously raised his hand to catch it.

"I made this specially for you, but before using it, I would like to remind you that this thing can indeed quickly enter the immortal mode, but the side effects are also obvious."

Orochimaru turned around and stared at Jiraiya with his pale yellow snake eyes: "You are obviously using the Myoboku Mountain Sage mode, why do you use a method full of side effects like the Sage Potion."

After Qianqiao became Hokage, the recipe for the immortal potion was given to Orochimaru, so Orochimaru could also make the immortal potion.

For others, the sage potion is a trump card that can definitely increase combat power, but for Jiraiya who can use the Mt. Myoboku sage mode, the sage potion is just useless.

Jiraiya, who has understood the sage mode of Mt. Myoboku, can also get the help of two sages while using the sage mode. The sage potion can also allow Jiraiya to enter the sage mode, but the real combat power is not as good as that of the sage with the help of the sage. Mt. Myoboku Sage Mode, and this is also the strange thing about Orochimaru.

Jiraiya must be hiding something by doing this.

Faced with Orochimaru's inquiry, Jiraiya did not hide anything: "I want to do something, but I can't reveal my identity."

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya deeply and did not continue to ask. He knew that he could not ask anything. If Jiraiya could tell, he would have told him just now.

"After all these years, you still haven't let go. Don't worry, I won't tell Gan Qiao."

"Thanks!"

Jiraiya said seriously, looking at Orochimaru's back, thinking that Orochimaru understood him.

Orochimaru did not return to Jiraiya, and that was all he said. As for Jiraiya seeking death, he could not stop him.
