During the Second Ninja World War, Sarutobi Hiruzen fought against the Third Raikage, and it was through several battles with the strongest Third Raikage that he completely established his prestige.
Relying on the title of the strongest, he suppressed the unstable situation within Konoha at that time.
Now I feel emotional when I see the sons of my old rivals have stepped onto the highest stage.
The Third Raikage had a good son... The scene reminded me of Asuma.
In addition to the information about the Fourth Raikage, he also added some drama about himself. Jiraiya said that he risked his life to rescue the people and it was worth it for all his years of practice in the ninja world.
His tone was quite smug, indicating that this was what he should do.
He also said something like there will be a successor to the Will of Fire and so on.
"There is someone to take over..."
"Jiraiya~~Do you really know or are you pretending not to know?"
This disciple has always been a bit silly, but in terms of sensitivity, he is no less sensitive than the other two.
Orochimaru relies on analysis and reasoning, Tsunade relies on her background and vision, and Jiraiya relies on instinct.
This information was placed on the desk of the Third Hokage. Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking a cigarette with a slightly complicated mood.
Part of him hoped that Kakashi, as Konoha's war hero in the Thunder and Fire War, could survive and continue to boost the village's morale and help him maintain control of the current chaos.
The sudden appearance of the young man helped to absorb the internal pressure of the village, and both the war mobilization and material mobilization were accelerated.
There is much less anti-war sentiment and fear.
At the same time, it also verified the correctness of the Third Hokage's unified rule. After all, Kakashi is indeed the direct descendant of their line.
So what he and Akimichi Norifuge talked about was to make connections at the side of the main battlefield to prepare to pick up the returning heroes of Konoha.
The hearts and minds of the people on the front line are more important.
After all, in Qufeng's reply, it was stated that the front-line troops had high praise for Kakashi.
The rescued Anbu team was not able to have much contact with the outside world, so they spread the word of Bloody Thunder's loyalty and righteousness within the Anbu.
Hyuga Hizashi is different. He is the younger brother of the head of the Hyuga family.
As long as what is said is not something that could shake the military's morale or contain some secretive content, no one can stop it.
The front-line card blower went online directly.
This time, Hizashi's eyes were opened. Who has ever experienced being chased by Cloud Ninjas all over the mountains? Who has ever experienced killing three Cloud Ninja Jonins? Who has even almost seen the Raikage?
In terms of merit and achievements, all are obtained, but the captain has not come back.
He had repeated the conversation before they parted to countless people, and it was to win honor for Kakashi.
"Although our captain is young, his strength and character are first-class..."
"Where the leaves dance, the fire grows. The flames will..."
"After that, the captain tore a gap between the cliffs for us to escape, and then he turned around and rushed deep into the Land of Lightning."
Anyway, there was nothing he could do while recuperating at the front line, and Hizashi felt that he could not let such a great man as the captain disappear like that.
A number of bigwigs including Akimichi Qufeng were also quite emotional.
The deepest hatred between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire was caused by the First Ninja World War.
During the signing of the peace agreement, Kinkaku and Ginkaku rebelled and attacked their teacher with the Six Paths Ninja Tools.
When he was left alone, he entrusted the will of fire to the monkey and left the village alone, leaving behind the fire.
What Kakashi is doing now is exactly the same as his teacher, using his strong body to save his weak subordinates.
He has such a character and will at such a young age. If Konoha is in his hands, it will surely shine with the brightest brilliance.
So I was looking forward to Hiruzen's next move, but unfortunately...
While the Sandaime hopes Kakashi will return, he also has some other ideas, so he asks the front-line troops to restrain the intensity of their attacks and not let the war escalate.
In case Kakashi dies at the hands of the Raikage... there is also another backup plan.
The tragic sense of sacrifice of the hero's death can be used to inspire the village's determination to unite against a common enemy, and even the promotional copy has been almost written.
Most people, including the Third Hokage, believed that the chances of Bloody Thunder surviving the Fourth Raikage's attack were slim, and that it was impossible for him to break through the encirclement of the many Cloud Ninjas.
This way, there is no need to worry about what will happen after the boy returns safely.
After all, judging from the current situation in Konoha, it is very likely that Kakashi will be the obvious successor to the position of the 5th Hokage.
From the restraint and wisdom shown by the white-haired boy on the battlefield, as well as his extraordinary character, we know that the will of such a strong man cannot be shaken.
But Danzo told the other party the truth. With Kakashi's ability, he should have figured out the truth long ago.
Therefore, a cleansing campaign is absolutely necessary after the new Hokage takes office.
Because they look so much like him, so much like Sensei Tobirama.
After the teacher succeeded as the Second Hokage, he used strong means to purge a group of people. After the death of the First Hokage, some restless ninjas planned to do something.
The result was being erased from Konoha's history.
Sensei Tobirama is decisive and unscrupulous in the purge, but on the surface he is the benchmark of Konoha's fire will.
If Kakashi did the same... who inside Konoha could stop him?
Amidst his hesitation and entanglement, Ziraiya jumped out and made a decision for him. Maybe some things are unavoidable.
Then the next problem is more difficult: how to fight the war.
Jiraiya flashed away Kakashi and said that the boy would stay in Myoboku Mountain to recuperate during the rest of the war.
Judging from the injuries, it will take at least half a year to recover to the point where he can fight at full strength, and in order to strengthen his strength, he will need to stay in the holy land to practice.
The third generation expressed his understanding. According to Jiraiya's description of the injuries, he was only a step away from death. It would be a miracle to recover within half a year.
As for cultivation...
Chapter 201 Bloody Thunder Becomes Really Famous in the Five Nations
If he breaks through further, he might really reach the level of Shadow, and can be used as an unconventional force in war.
Staying in Myoboku Mountain should be a fairy technique.
……
The Sandaime knew the power of Senjutsu, and he would not be fooled by Jiraiya's poor Senjutsu.
Back then, the first generation was the contractor of the Wet Bone Forest. At that time, the concept of fairy arts was powerful.
It has a huge enhancing effect on the God of the Ninja World. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen is very envious of such a magical technique.
However, through the personal demonstration of Jiraiya, his disciple, it is shown that the threshold of fairy arts is really high, and it is not necessarily suitable for everyone.
I don't know how much Kakashi can gain from this.
Then the imminent problem is how to deal with the enraged Fourth Raikage and the all-out army of the Land of Lightning.
It would not be possible to rely on Qu Feng alone, as the upper limit of the Akimichi clan's secret techniques has been locked.
As you age, the power of the multiplication technique will drop very quickly.
A common problem among physical ninjas is that their time of glory is exceptionally short.
So, let’s have a meeting.
Within just a few days, Konoha held another high-level meeting.
“That’s the information, Kakashi has been rescued by Jiraiya, whom I sent.
Next, I plan to lead the ninjas from several elder families in the village to the front line, and the chiefs of other ninja clans will also provide support.
We must not let the Land of Lightning reach the entrance of the village this time, otherwise all of us will be nailed to Konoha's pillar of shame."
……
After learning the information, everyone promised to share the pressure of the village.
Konoha seems to be in danger, but it has a solid foundation. The third generation is still able to fight, and there are successors like Kakashi among the younger generation.
This ship will never sink.
Only by providing timely assistance can the status and interest division of each family in the village be consolidated.
The war supplies and mobilization time are being discussed step by step.
At this time, the head of the Anbu suddenly rushed in. This was extremely rude, but the situation was very urgent and there was no time to worry about it.
He came behind the Sandaime and made a gesture.
"Urgent information!"
After Sarutobi Hiruzen spread out the scroll, his eyes immediately widened, and then he looked at the Anbu chief with suspicion.
The other party nodded seriously. This information was obtained at a huge price.
"Ahem, the pre-war meeting is temporarily postponed. Everyone go back and prepare for the battle. Wait for my notification at any time."
Everyone looked at each other, then left the Hokage Building.
"Danzo, I'll give you three days to confirm the information."
"……Um."
In those three days, countless stories happened in the Cloud Ninja Village, but in the end, Konoha was victorious in the secret battle.
Or it could be said that the Root was superior, as they confirmed, based on the deaths of several important Cloud Ninja figures, that the Fourth Raikage was indeed seriously injured.
"It is impossible to predict when recovery will occur..."
The third generation didn't expect such a good thing to happen?
An unreliable thought popped into my mind: Could it be that he was beaten by Kakashi?
Then he shook his head. When the child was rescued by Jiraiya, his bones were almost broken and he was only a step away from death.
The difference in combat power between the two is not so easy to overcome, and the speed ninja should be the winner.
As for Jiraiya, it is impossible as there is no mention of him in the intelligence.
How did he get injured? He couldn't have fallen down.
However, this sudden change is also a good thing, as the war can continue at a low intensity.
So they reconvened the previous battle meeting and announced this confirmed intelligence.
Once again, there was a shock.
Then Sarutobi Hiruzen said that the current situation was uncertain and he would wait and see for a while. To be cautious, he selected several ninjas from the elder ninja clan to support Akimichi Torifuze.
By the way, the first batch of fighters heading to the front line will be rotated to rest.
Others are still ready to stand by at any time.
After the meeting that started off well but ended badly, the Sandaime felt something was wrong, so he asked the Anbu and the Root to help investigate how the Raikage was injured.
By the way, the news that Bloody Thunder was still alive spread in the village, with emphasis on the part where Jiraiya rushed to the battlefield under the dispatch of the Third Hokage.
The atmosphere in the village was indeed more relaxed.
Finally, let Utane Koharu and Mitokado En spread the news of the Raikage's injury through secret channels.
Konoha certainly cannot keep this information to itself, and based on the principle of the ninja world being one family, the other three major ninja villages can also get it.
How tempting is it to have a 4th Raikage who is clearly seriously injured?
The Water Kingdom is located on the flank of the Thunder Kingdom, and it is a huge military entity that can attack the mainland at any time via the sea route.
There is also the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki who loves to go all in.
The third Raikage was killed by them, so it wouldn't be too much to send the fourth Raikage to reunite with his son.
The hatred between the two villages is indeed deep enough.
The land of earth.
Onoki.
