Naruto: Immortal Spirit

News among ninjas always passes quickly. Psychic beasts, special ninjutsu, and spies have various ways to quietly pass on the secrets they obtain.

What happened in Kirigakure, in less than a day, continued to shock everyone who received the news at an almost explosive speed, and then was passed to the next person's ears with the shock in their hearts.

It is difficult to suppress something like this that almost happened in broad daylight. Apart from some secrets that only the parties involved know, the general story of the matter has been put on the desks of major ninja villagers.

"it is good!"

For other ninja villages, this may be bad news, but for Konoha, it is really great news. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has been frowning for who knows how many days, can't help but applaud.

In the Konoha Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly calmed the smile on his face, and then carefully studied the information in the intelligence again.

Just a moment of relief in his heart was swept away again.

"Kato Ou..."

He slowly put down the scroll in his hand, and a faint smoke curled up from the countless documents on his desk.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of Kato Ou. He had seen this boy who was known as the last glorious person of the Kato family.

"So it's him, he grew up so fast..."

"He is a disciple of Orochimaru, and has connections with Danzo and Minato..."

Standing up, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked out the window without saying a word for a long time, and streams of smoke slowly came out of his mouth.

He couldn't help but think too much. Although Orochimaru defeated the Kirigakure coalition in Kirigakure, he lost the eyes of the clan. He was to blame, and the Hyuga family seemed to have a problem with him.

Minato Namikaze led the Uchiha family to win many battles on the Iwa-nin battlefield. One person suppressed the Iwa-nin and couldn't lift his head. Jiraiya was sitting on the Kumo-nin battlefield to protect him. There was already a faint idea of ​​the fourth generation to take over. The Hokage shouted.

As for Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned even more. Danzo, who had returned from the Land of Rain, had been recruiting people to replenish his roots during this period. Although his actions were secretive, he knew it clearly. It was just because of the war. During this period, he didn't go too far, so I didn't care about him for the time being.

Now there is a person who killed Mizukage and is somewhat involved with the three of them. No matter what role he plays in it, his appearance will definitely break the balance.

After this news spreads, Kato Oo will become famous in the ninja world. Whether he chooses Orochimaru or Namikaze Minato, it will be enough to become the last weight in the scale.

The war will eventually end, but things seem to be gradually beyond Sarutobi Hiruzen's control.

"Orochimaru……"

A trace of apology flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, and he regained his composure for a moment. In his eyes, Orochimaru was not suitable to take over as the Fourth Hokage.

"Kirigakure was newly defeated, so he ordered Orochimaru to guard Kirigakure to prevent Kirigakure from seeking revenge and making a comeback again. He transferred the Jonin Katoo to the Iwa Ninja battlefield, under the command of the commander-in-chief Namikaze Minato. He transferred the Hyuga family ninjas to the Sand Ninja Village. Come under Tsunade's command."

"In addition, some ninjas will be recruited again to supplement the Kirigakure battlefield..."

Standing next to Sarutobi Hiruzen, the silent Nara Shikaku's eyes flickered, and he seemed to vaguely raise his head to glance at Sarutobi Hiruzen, which was a bit complicated.

As a man with the highest IQ in Konoha, how could he not see the situation clearly? Orochimaru might have been given up by the old man in front of him, and Namikaze Minato was the final winner.

Although he had a good impression of Namikaze Minato, a rising star, at this moment, he could not help but feel a bit sad about Orochimaru's experience.

Orochimaru became famous as early as World War II. He made countless contributions to Konoha in the southern and northern wars. Before the rise of Namikaze Minato, everyone thought that Orochimaru would become the fourth Hokage. Unfortunately, who could have imagined that he would be where he is today. step.

Nowadays, although Orochimaru's disciple Kato Ou is still young, his contribution to killing the enemy's shadow cannot be underestimated, and he may not be able to take over Orochimaru's power.

Sarutobi Hiruzen transferred Kato Oo, who had gained a lot of fame, to serve under Minato Namikaze, which cut off Orochimaru's hope of gathering his troops again and competing again.

They also transferred away the Hyuga family who had always supported Orochimaru, leaving only some civilian ninjas under Orochimaru. Unfortunately, almost all of these civilian ninjas had higher expectations for Namikaze Minato, who was also a civilian ninja.

According to the military orders during the war, even if some people were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything. This move completely eliminated Orochimaru...

Nara Shikaku understood that Sarutobi Hiruzen kept him here because he was smart enough. Even if he saw his purpose, he did not dare to publicize it wantonly, and he even wanted to make suggestions and cover up for him.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Sarutobi Hiruzen. Such a word could determine the fate of everyone. This is the power of power. No wonder the third Hokage in front of him has always refused to let go of power.

Thinking of the blond-haired young man with a gentle smile on his face, he is indeed a qualified heir to the Will of Fire.

With so many thoughts in his mind, Nara Shikaku couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he never said a word.

……

Compared to Konoha, Onoki, Ai, Chiyo, and even most ninjas in the world are unbelievable.

The high-ranking Kirigakure Mizukage was actually killed by a Jounin of Konoha. However, news continued to spread from Kirigakure, and things were constantly confirmed. Their jaws that had fallen to the ground slowly closed, and their brows began to look like mountains. Wrinkled.

No one wants to see a super strong man. They always want to see a strong man die in battle and a powerful country collapse.

Konoha is now the super strong man above them. They would rather work together to bring down this strong man first.

Countless messages began to spread from the movie theaters in major villages. Except for Kirigakure, one of the parties involved, it seemed that the situation was surging in other countries, big and small.

"We want to avenge Yondaime-sama!"

Kirigakure's council hall, the heads of large and small families, ANBU ministers, all the forces are concentrated here.

There was a gloom on their brows, but there was a bit of shame in their eyes. No matter how they did in this battle, Kirigakure had already lost. The Kage was beheaded in the village. It has been a long time since the ninja world. There is such a joke.

"We have already lost..."

“The village cannot be without shadow for a day!”

All parties were quarreling, the revenge faction, the capitulation faction, the electoral faction, all holding their own opinions, and no one could convince anyone. It was in such a leaderless group that Kirigakure was infiltrated by the villages like a sieve.

"enough!"

"Now is not the time for bickering! We need a new leader!"

Kiden Qingyue did not expect that from the beginning, when his eldest brother, the elder of the Kiden family, died, they were led by the nose like puppets. It was not until Goju Yagura died in the battle that he seemed to understand something. What.

"Second Elder Gui Deng..., is it possible that you have a suitable candidate? Don't tell me that you are going to recommend Gui Deng Man Yue to become the fifth generation Mizukage..."

Terumio, who had been silent all this time, felt a hint of gloom on his face when he heard Kito Qingyue suddenly startled the whole audience by speaking.

Everything started with the death of Elder Ghost Light. Do these idiots still want to recommend one of their own to become Mizukage?

"Is it possible that Elder Terumi has a more suitable candidate?"

"Of course there is!"

Kito Qingyue's face was ugly, and Terumio's words made it clear that he didn't like Kito Mangetsu, but his family knew about his family affairs, and Kito Mangetsu was indeed far from the position of Mizukage.

It's just that in Kirigakure Village today, there are almost no suitable candidates for the younger generation. Except for Onito Mangetsu and Terumi Mei, the two of them may have some possibility, but the others have no possibility at all.

"Hmph, if the full moon is different, then Terumi Mei is even further behind..."

"What a joke, why can't Xiao Ming compare to Ghost Lantern Full Moon?"

With a slight sneer, Terumio turned away from looking at Ghost Light Qingyue. When he raised his hand, everyone in the entire venue fell silent.

"I, Kirigakure, have caused this catastrophe today. The top priority is to elect a highly respected person to lead us again. At this time, the current situation is turbulent, and the choice of Mizukage may be postponed."

After saying that, he quietly stood up and looked towards the door.

The figure of an old man gradually became clearer and he walked slowly.

"Master Yuan!"

"Master Yuan!"

Seeing the figure walking in, everyone stood up one after another, with a bit of respect in their eyes.

Genshi is the only remaining member of Kirigakure, a figure who has survived since the first generation of Mizukage. However, he has been out of the world for many years. Unexpectedly, Terumio actually elected him.

"Now that Kirigakure is in turmoil and Mizukage's position is high, Elder Yuanshi is the Dinghai Shenzhen we are waiting for right now!"

Everyone's voices came out one after another, but no one disagreed. Even those who wanted to compete for Mizukage's position stopped and said nothing more.

"Hey……"

Master Yuan slowly sat down, but a sigh came out, and everyone couldn't help but lower their heads. Everyone couldn't understand the meaning contained in this sigh. Why did Kirigakure do this?

"That being the case, let's do it..."

Master Yuan spoke slowly, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but no one noticed that a flash of red light flashed in his old eyes...
