Chapter 221 Sarutobi Hiruzen's Persistence

The top moves his mouth, the bottom runs and breaks his legs.

This sentence is applicable in every world.

Ninja world.

The Hidden Fire Village.

Kazuki casually made plans for the next phase of the Hidden Fire Village.

then!

The entire Hidden Fire Village became bustling with activity.

The plans that had been made long ago were completely overturned and replanning began.

This consumed a lot of financial, human and material resources.

Itachi approached Kazuki to confirm if Kazuki was serious.

If it were someone else, there would definitely be no need for that.

A tree is needed!
This guy is used to making trouble!
On a whim, he dared to start a great ninja war.

Kazuki clearly told Itachi that after ensuring the normal operation of the Hidden Fire Village, all funds would be invested in the Jinchūriki plan.

This is the most important thing for the Hidden Fire Village.

Itachi understood and began to fully support it.

Sudden changes will indeed create some confusion, but the good thing is that the Hidden Fire Village is just being built.

When any ninja village is first established, it is always the most chaotic time, but it is also the most cohesive time.

Especially Kazuki, the first generation Kage, the orders he issued had absolute authority.

Like Senju Hashirama.

As the first Hokage, even though many Uchiha were dissatisfied with him at that time, they did not dare to act aggressively in front of him.

After changing its target, the Hidden Fire Village revealed its amazing scientific research capabilities.

It was also at this time that everyone knew that Yishu had been searching the world for scientific researchers.

These scientific researchers are not like those powerful ninjas who attract everyone's attention.

The status of many of them can even be described as low.

Because the nobles excluded them.

Many countries are even doing their best to crack down on these scientific researchers.

Those nobles, they don't want development.

All they need is dedication.

The civilians' dedication to them.

In this situation, it became much easier for Yishu to take action.

In a short period of time, he brought in scientific researchers from all corners of the ninja world.

and so.

Purely speaking from a scientific measurement of strength, the Hidden Fire Village ranks first among the six major ninja villages.

therefore.

When Kazuki pointed out the subject of Jinchūriki, researchers immediately began to explore this path and made some breakthroughs in a short period of time.

……

Konoha.

The whole village has a rather gloomy feeling.

The first and second generations were sealed.

Orochimaru once again used the summoning technique and Impure World Reincarnation to try to summon the two.

failure.

Orochimaru was stunned.

It turns out that after being sealed, it cannot be summoned again.

No one told him.

In fact, he has been exploring this ninjutsu, and now he has a better understanding of it.

However, he didn't care much.

There are only the first and second generation Hokage, but he has more than just these two powerful pieces in his hands.

In fact, he wouldn't care even if all the reincarnated people were sealed.

All he cares about is longevity!

but!

Since these two people were sealed, does it mean that he can also leave Konoha?
He had long wanted to leave this familiar yet unfamiliar village and return to his research.

That was his life!
only……

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, holding a knife against his neck, looking at him stubbornly.

Orochimaru:"……"

Teacher, what are you doing?

I'm telling you, you've gone too far, do you know that?
In order to keep me here, you really did your best.

For the first time, I felt how important I was.

Orochimaru had tears in his eyes and was speechless.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice.

He was almost going crazy.

The Nine-Tail is gone.

The first and second generations are gone.

How many jonin died?
How many ninjas died?
Kakashi and Nara Shikaku were both seriously injured.

Jiraiya is autistic.

A grown man stayed in his room all day, wrapped in a quilt and crying.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt like he was going crazy.

Konoha is a mess right now.

The former number one ninja village, it’s amazing!

The Daimyo of the Fire Nation feels like he is going crazy too.

As the saying goes, one village, one country, the country is naturally the Fire Country, and the village is the Konoha Ninja Village.

The two complement each other.

Konoha is now in such a miserable state that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire feels like his heart is about to explode.

You bunch of ninjas are such a bummer.

He personally wrote a letter to Yuan Fei Hiruzen, asking him to immediately integrate Konoha and restore it to its original state. If he was not able to do so, he should replace him with a capable Hokage.

It doesn't matter who it is, as long as they can save Konoha.

original.

Ninjas would not dare to harm nobles, let alone daimyo. Even if it was a defeated country, ninjas would salute them respectfully and would never dare to make any insulting behavior.

Only some crazy rebel ninjas dared to attack nobles and daimyo.

Ninjas were originally tools in the hands of nobles and daimyo.

therefore.

The daimyo and nobles were also guarded by some ninjas.

Asuma Sarutobi once served as the 12 Guardian Ninjas, whose main task was to protect the daimyo.

but.

Because of Uchiha Kazuki, he attacked nobles and daimyo many times, killing nobles as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

This caused the ninjas' fear of the nobles and daimyo to begin to decline rapidly.

What divine bloodline?
If you dare to kill, you will die.

This led to a very serious situation where the safety of the nobles and daimyo could not be guaranteed.

The Hidden Fire Village has set a very bad precedent.

and so.

Originally they only regarded Konoha as a tool, but now the daimyo and nobles have discovered that they have an inevitable need for ninjas.

Under the circumstances, they would never allow Konoha to continue to be desolate.

Got to cheer up!

but!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was helpless.

Don’t I want to?

I want everything!
The problem is that I can't do it, what can I do?
Sarutobi Hiruzen took out all the maps of Konoha. He wanted to know if there were any hidden big bosses in Konoha.

No matter who it is, as long as it can be used, then take it out.

Apart from the sulky Danzo, he actually found one.

"Take the wind!"

A shrill scream.

Qiu Dao Qufeng, who was gnawing on a leg of lamb, rolled his eyes and nearly choked himself to death.

"what are you doing?"

Qiu Dao Qufeng roared and kicked the door open. When he saw clearly what was happening outside, he was stunned.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were filled with tears, and he clasped his hands together as he looked at Akimichi Toukaze.

When he noticed his appearance, Sarutobi Hiruzen pounced forward like a monkey and hugged Akimichi Toukaze.

"What are you doing? Get out of my way!" Qiu Dao Qufeng almost screamed.

The combined age of both of you is over 130 years old. What are you going to play with me?

"I won't leave!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen whined, "Unless you promise me one thing."

"Get out, get out!"

Does Qiu Dao Qu Feng dare to agree?

Your attitude makes him afraid to agree.

and!

He went into seclusion!

Do you know what seclusion means?

Not long ago, when Senju Tobirama was resurrected, he walked out of the family and met with him. Apart from that, he did not agree to any of the other party's requests.

He was disappointed with Konoha.

Quit it!
Just eat and wait for death!
also!

Who are you, Sarutobi Hiruzen? Don’t you think he doesn’t know?

How can he dare to agree to your request at this time?
He has been on guard against you, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo from the beginning to the end.

You two are so bad!

"Qu Feng, we are close friends..."

"Get lost!"

Akimichi Tofu roared and used the multiplication technique to forcibly break free from Sarutobi Hiruzen's restraints, then turned around and ran back home.

Cut off your uncle’s neck!
When you said this, I knew even more that you were trying to trick me.

dream!

"Take the wind!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen followed all the way, but was blocked by the gate.

"If you don't agree, I will stay here!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen roared, sat down on the ground, and stared at the gate of Akimichi Touka's house.

As for the important matters within Konoha, Kakashi could handle them.

No matter what he said today, he would force Qiu Dao Qu Feng to come out and help him.

This old fat man was extremely powerful back then. After living in seclusion for so many years, his strength must have improved.

what?
Older?

Haha, the Akimichi clan is good at physical skills, and their peak period is much longer than that of ordinary ninjas. Although Akimichi Tofu is over 60 years old, he should still be in his peak period.

It's a must!

With this old fat guy, it is almost like having one more tailed beast.

Except he doesn't know how to use the Tailed Beast Ball.

but!

This old fat guy is under control, he is a rational 'tailed beast'.

So, Sarutobi Hiruzen strengthened his heart.

Qiu Dao Qufeng hid himself and took a quick look. He found that the other party was sitting at the door and had no intention of leaving. He was so angry that he started cursing.

This old monkey is sick!
Moreover, the illness is serious!
What have I done to offend anyone? Why are you targeting me?

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat at the door and pretended not to hear.

Ignore everything and do whatever you want!

"Uncle!"

Nara Shikaku came out, looked at Akimichi Tofu, and said with a smile: "It seems that Sarutobi Hiruzen is really being pushed into a corner."

"Are you pushing me to the limit?" Qiu Dao Qufeng sneered, "It's still too early."

Nara Shikaku thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, do you want to be Hokage?"

Akimichi Tofu's eyebrows jumped, he turned his head to look at Nara Shikaku and said, "Why? Are you interested?"

"Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely not be able to become Hokage!" Nara Shikaku said frankly: "Of course I hope that Ino-Shika-Chou can have a Hokage of our own. This is our best chance."

"You're totally wrong to think so!"

Akimichi Tsukui said coldly: "Do you think Sarutobi Hiruzen will give up the power in his hands?"

Nara Shikaku was stunned and said, "At this time, he, he still holds on to power? Is he crazy? This, this..."

As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen still had a little dignity, he would never continue to stay in the position of Hokage.

"Shikaku!"

Akimichi Norifu said seriously: "You are a smart person, smarter than your father, but I want to tell you that you are too naive sometimes. You always look at the ninja world with a very rational eye, but I want to tell you that there are many crazy people in this world, and their behavior cannot be viewed with a normal eye."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo are both among them. In some ways, Sarutobi Hiruzen is more extreme than Shimura Danzo."

Nara Shikaku was silent.

He has been with Sarutobi Hiruzen for quite some time.

The jonin squad leader is definitely considered a high-ranking figure in Konoha.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his men maintained their power and took away all the rights that belonged to the jonin squad leader.

He thought he understood Sarutobi Hiruzen, but from Akimichi Norifu's mouth, he saw a completely different Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The Third Hokage!"

Nara Shikaku muttered to himself.

"Hmph, I watched him change little by little."

Akimichi Toukou said indifferently: "The former Sarutobi Hiruzen was trustworthy, but after he became Hokage, he changed. No one recognized him anymore, and everyone was disappointed in him."

Qiu Daoqufeng looked out the window silently.

Many people they were familiar with closed their eyes with anger and confusion.

"Mito-sama..."

Qiu Daoqufeng let out an imperceptible sigh.

The first person to strike him was Uzumaki Mito.

The widow of the first generation!

The Second Hokage respected her very much.

Not only because of her identity as a Jinchūriki and her personal strength, her contribution to Konoha is also enormous.

If nothing else, Konoha is stable as long as she is around.

She is the strongest Jinchūriki who controls the power of the Nine-Tails.

She herself did not participate in the struggle for power, and after the death of Hashirama Senju, she remained in seclusion.

After the death of the second generation, she stood up and helped Sarutobi Hiruzen to stabilize the overall situation of Konoha and ensure that Sarutobi Hiruzen would sit firmly on the position of Hokage.

but.

Such a woman publicly forbade Sarutobi Hiruzen from entering the Senju clan's territory.

One can imagine how disappointed this woman was at that time.

The reason lies in the Land of Whirlpools.

The hometown of Uzumaki Mito.

The Land of Whirlpools and Konoha are allies.

However, when the Whirlpool Country was attacked, Mito asked Sarutobi Hiruzen for help, hoping that he would help the Whirlpool Country.

At least, save some of the people from the Whirlpool Country.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took his men there.

But only Uzumaki Kushina was rescued as a candidate for the Jinchūriki.

At this moment, there are a huge number of books on sealing techniques.

The Uzumaki tribe members could not be saved.

not a single one!

You are funny!

When Qiu Daoqufeng heard the news, he was completely stunned.

You are awesome!
He took a group of ninjas to rescue people, and managed to save a Jinchūriki and some books.

Hard work!
It's lucky for you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, that Lord Mito didn't slap you in the face at that time.

This is the end.

Uzumaki Mito and Sarutobi Hiruzen had a complete falling out.

Akimichi Tofu also despaired of Sarutobi Hiruzen after this incident.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, you can't be trusted!

Now, Sarutobi Hiruzen is begging him to come out of retirement. Does Akimichi Tofu dare?

Uzumaki Mito helped you wholeheartedly, trusted you, and asked you to save her people, but what happened?
Not even a damn one!
If Qiu Dao Qu Feng helped you, whether Zhu Lu Die would be in trouble, no one knows.

Akimichi Tofu told Nara Shikaku all of this.

Nara Shikaku was incredulous and said, "No way? How could the Third Generation do such a thing? Could there be some misunderstanding?"

"Uzumaki Mito is a very wise woman!"

Akimichi Tofu said seriously: "She has no ambitions, otherwise, the second generation Hokage back then would most likely be her. She is the only one who can fully control the power of the Nine-Tails. Senju Tobirama-sensei respects her very much."

"Do you think that such a person would misunderstand Sarutobi Hiruzen?"

Nara Shikaku was speechless.
