Chapter 149: The hero is dead! The devil awakens!
Konoha.
"Minato, you are a genius."
On the training ground, when Jiraiya saw Minato Namikaze appear behind him, he burst into laughter.
However, although there was a smile in the corner of Namikaze Minato's eyes when he suddenly appeared holding this special kunai, he sighed and shook his head.
"Teacher Jiraiya, this special kunai was told to me by Nako before. Although you helped to ask for one, the reduction of the conducted chakra this time was mostly due to this special kunai."
When talking about the kunai, Jiraiya stroked his chin and sighed helplessly.
"This Flying Thunder God Technique is powerful, but this special chakra metal kunai consumes too much energy. Even a jonin can't withstand it."
Jiraiya looked like he was in pain, as the dozen or so kunai in Minato Namikaze's hands were what they had collected with great difficulty.
This thing is not a ninja sword, one is enough. Even in normal training, the metal kunai containing chakra will often be worn and damaged under the Flying Thunder God.
After losing the red flower of wealth, Minato Namikaze's path to growth is obviously more difficult, especially in terms of sealing techniques and money, which requires his own hard work.
"Not only that, although the Flying Thunder Technique is powerful, you were able to react when I suddenly appeared behind you, so the effect will be greatly reduced when facing a ninja who knows this ninjutsu and has a quick reaction ability..."
"Although Flying Thunder God has reduced a lot of chakra consumption through special kunai, it still consumes a lot each time. More importantly, there is another major drawback, which is the sudden lack of stronger ninjutsu to strike..."
The golden-haired Minato Namikaze calmly analyzed the drawbacks of this ninjutsu. At the same time, the two seemed to have thought of something. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"It looks like you thought of that too, Minato."
Jiraiya shook his head helplessly and sighed, and Namikaze Minato nodded and said in a serious tone: "Yes, Ye is really a genius. The Rasengan can be said to be the most perfect of the Unveiled Ninjutsu."
Flying Thunder God appears instantly and launches the attack with the Unsealed Ninja Technique Rasengan. Even if the enemy's nerves can react, what can they use to resist?
The power of the A-level original ninjutsu Rasengan is extremely strong, and it is even called the ultimate level.
"The Rasengan? It's a shame, this is someone else's ninjutsu."
Even Jiraiya shook his head and sighed. He had no intention of exchanging this ninjutsu from the Uchiha clan.
Rasengan is obviously an ultimate-level ninjutsu. Why should others pass on a ninjutsu that can be passed down to you?
Are Uchiha short of money? Short of ninjutsu? Or short of resources!
No one lacks it.
Seeing the sad look on Minato Namikaze's face, Jiraiya suddenly burst into laughter and walked up to him and patted Minato's shoulder heavily.
"Minato, you think too much. Who dares to say that any ninjutsu, even those terrifying S-level ninjutsu, has no weaknesses?
"The Flying Thunder God jutsu is already very powerful. How many people in the ninja world have such a reaction nerve? Even if they can react, how many people can keep up with their bodies?"
Jiraiya's loud laughter also made Minato Namikaze smile and nodded:
"I understand Jiraiya-sensei."
Namikaze Minato is also an optimistic person. Just as Jiraiya said, there are so many ninjutsu in the ninja world, but how many people can react to the Flying Thunder God Ninjutsu?
He is already very good at this age.
Then, the two of them smiled and walked towards the Hokage Building together.
The Hokage's office building.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was smoking a pipe, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as he listened to Minato Namikaze's report, especially when Jiraiya was winking at him.
"Old man, I told you Minato is a genius."
In the face of Jiraiya's jokes and interruptions, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen rarely said anything, but instead nodded in appreciation.
"Finally, someone in the village has learned the forbidden technique of the Second Hokage, Flying Thunder God. As for the disadvantages you mentioned, you can only work on the technique to reduce chakra consumption. After all, you are using chakra metal now.
And your chakra, Minato, has three attributes: fire, wind, and lightning, all of which have strong offensive properties. My suggestion is to use the sharpness of the wind attribute, so that you will be invincible..."
Although the title of Ninjutsu Professor of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was a bit exaggerated, he was also a genuine Kage-level master. After a few suggestions and guidance, Namikaze Minato suddenly saw the light.
"This is my most skilled Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique. If the information is leaked in the future and the enemy knows your Flying Thunder God Technique, they can also use this ninjutsu to confuse and attack to the maximum extent."
Facing the generosity of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Third Hokage."
Jiraiya, who was standing by, laughed funny when he saw this, and even winked at the Sandai and said:
"Old man, you have seen Minato's potential, but these special kunai are still a little insufficient..."
Faced with Jiraiya's extortionate behavior, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and waved his hands, saying:
"Jiraiya, you should know that due to the tight financial situation in the village over the past two years, we have fallen behind the Iwagakure and Kumogakure in terms of military expansion. Chakra metal is even more precious now."
As the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen had more to consider. For him, providing resources for ninjutsu such as aiding Namikaze Minato was just a matter of lip service, but even his own kid was eyeing this kind of chakra metal.
"Jiraiya-sensei."
In the end, it was Minato Namikaze who awkwardly pulled his teacher away from here. Before leaving, he repeatedly thanked the Third Hokage with an apologetic look on his face.
Seeing this scene, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile with relief.
"Minato is a good boy who inherited the will of fire. He is more reassuring than Jiraiya."
Walking out of the Hokage's office and greeting the morning sunshine, Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya came all the way to Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant.
"This White Fang is just a piece of trash."
"Who said it wasn't? I heard that this mission caused great losses to the village."
"Is this kind of person worthy of being a hero? He is even scheduled to be the future Fourth Hokage, ugh..."
Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, who were sitting in a ramen restaurant and eating noodles, looked obviously unhappy when they heard the discussions on the street.
"Sensei Jiraiya, the matter of White Fang-senpai has become a hot topic."
Namikaze Minato put down his chopsticks and frowned. He has now grown into more than just a ninja.
After getting to know Uzumaki Nako, and with the talent he had learned the Flying Thunder God Ninjutsu, he once again gained the attention of the top management.
Jiraiya frowned after hearing this, then shook his head and sighed, "Minato, being a Hokage is not as easy as you think. What you are seeing now is just one of countless bad things."
Jiraiya saw this more clearly than anyone else, so he always stayed away from such struggles.
However, after hearing this, Namikaze Minato shook his head firmly and said, "No! This is exactly why I want to become Hokage!"
Minato Namikaze's firm ninja way made Jiraiya, his teacher, couldn't help but admire him.
"Minato, I believe you, but after this incident with Hatake Jonin, I'm afraid you've lost the qualification to compete for the position of Hokage."
Jiraiya suddenly thought of this for some reason, and Minato Namikaze also sighed.
"The old man will be fifty soon. Normal ninjas start to decline after forty, and the old man probably won't last many more years. It's time to choose the right person."
Jiraiya shook his head and sighed. Even he instinctively thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen was old, and he never thought about staying in this position until he became old and his strength declined.
After all, the existence of the shadow of a village has a deterrent effect both internally and externally.
"If we choose a successor to the Hokage, there are probably only three adults left in the village: Sensei, Tsunade-sama, and Orochimaru."
Minato Namikaze, who was standing by, showed a rare look of envy, and then he said with a firm smile:
"But I'm still young, I think I still have a chance to become Hokage."
Facing Minato Namikaze's cheerfulness, Jiraiya had a hint of worry deep in his eyes.
If it was two years ago, he would definitely think that the second choice besides White Fang would be Orochimaru. After all, Tsunade didn't care about these things at all.
But Tsunade is different now.
"Haha, never mind. Your teacher is not that shameless. Although everyone says he is the Three Ninjas, I, Jiraiya, still know him."
Jiraiya laughed loudly. As for the title of Sannin, Tsunade and Orochimaru were both honored, but it was obviously not something he wanted to mention.
Just as the two were about to start eating again, the sudden cry of an eagle broke the silence, and the second face of Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant changed suddenly.
"Teacher Jiraiya, this is the Swift Eagle that will only be used when something big happens!"
Namikaze Minato frowned and said while looking at the swift eagle in the blue sky of Konoha, while Jiraiya on the side simply put down the coins, called out to Minato and ran towards the Hokage Building.
"Minato, go to the Hokage Building and see what happened!"
A shocking piece of news spread throughout Konoha like a hurricane.
White Fang, the heroic ninja of Konoha who was feared by the ninja world and had a great reputation, was blamed by countless people when he returned to the village after failing in his mission. Even his rescued companions were pointing fingers at him.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and chose to commit suicide!
White Fang is dead!
It spread throughout Konoha in an instant like an earthquake.
The Hokage's office building.
When the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen heard the news, he slammed the table in shock and anger and shouted at Danzo:
"Danzo! What on earth is going on!?"
Mitomon En and Utane Koharu also looked at Danzo in shock and anger, as if to say, you've gone too far this time.
However, Shimura Danzo had just heard the news and could not help but say:
"Huruzen! I! I! I didn't expect him to commit suicide!"
However, after hearing what Shimura Danzo said, Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at him fiercely with disappointment.
"Danzo! You've gotten yourself into big trouble this time!"
Even Mitomon En and Utane Koharu looked a little solemn.
"Huruzen, what should we do now?" "Huruzen, something happened to White Fang. He committed suicide on his own. What does it have to do with us? Besides, the failure of this mission was his dereliction of duty as a ninja!"
It has to be said that being rogue and self-righteous is a woman's nature. Even though Koharu Utane was almost fifty years old, she snorted coldly and blamed it all on White Fang himself.
This time, Shimura Danzo showed a rare expression of gratitude. A friend in need is a friend indeed. At critical moments, these old friends can still be relied upon.
"Yes, Hiruzen. The failure of the mission was his own fault. What does it have to do with us?"
Danzo Shimura also said this in a stern tone, but he even felt a sense of luck in his heart. White Fang was dead, and Sarutobi Hiruzen might have to face the fire from the major families this time.
Once he steps down, won't he have a chance to take over?
It must be said that Shimura Danzo always dreamed of becoming Hokage, but Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, said coldly with a gloomy face:
"Danzo! I want the Root to thoroughly investigate the entire mission of this Hatake Jonin, as well as all the ninjas who participated in this mission!"
When he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen's livid face, Shimura Danzo suddenly understood something, and immediately nodded sinisterly and said in a deep voice:
"I understand. Don't worry, Hiruzen. With the Root in action, nothing will go wrong."
The roots took action and made this mission into ironclad evidence.
At the same time, in Konoha Village, all the ninjas were shocked after hearing the news of White Fang's suicide, especially the big clans, who were furious.
Too fast! It's only been a few days since I returned from the failed White Fang mission?
They hadn't figured out a solution yet, and something went wrong!
Thousand Hands Clan.
When Tsunade heard the news, her face was filled with shock and she looked incredulous.
But then she remembered that Uchiha Ye had reminded her many times that the village was going to take action against Baiya, as well as the Senju and Uchiha!
"night!"
Looking at Uchiha Ye lying on the hospital bed, Tsunade looked hesitant and embarrassed. Should she say this?
But in the end, thinking of the character of this little devil, he sighed helplessly.
"Mikoto, Kushina, tell Ye about this Hatake."
Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina looked at Uchiha Ye worriedly, then they looked at each other and began to talk about the matter in the ward hesitantly.
"Hatake Jonin?"
After hearing what happened to Bai Ya, Uchiha Ye, who was lying on the hospital bed, did not show any emotion at all. However, it was this calmness that made the three of them reveal a hint of worry.
"Perhaps I was too naive before. After all these dark things happened, I should have thought of people worse."
After a while, a calm voice echoed, and Uchiha Ye, who was lying on the hospital bed, slowly got up and slowly untied the bandage covering his eyes.
As the white bandage slowly fell off, the blood-red magatama Sharingan in his eyes was revealed. Uchiha Ye raised his head and stared straight at Tsunade, with determination in his calm eyes.
"The hero is dead! Sister Tsunade, I now finally understand what you said. Studying medicine cannot save the ninja world!"
boom!
Tsunade's pupils trembled, and what echoed in her mind was Uchiha Ye's firm dream, which was to become the strongest medical ninja and save the ninja world.
But now!
Tsunade showed a complicated expression. This little brat had been forced to this step!
Uzumaki Kushina on the side shouted angrily: "Lady Tsunade! The hero White Fang is dead. They are the ones who abandoned the true will of fire!"
At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with anger.
Even Uchiha Mikoto stepped forward and held Uchiha Ye's hand tightly, "Ye! Konoha still has you!"
Uchiha Ye raised his head, three magatama slowly rotating under his clear red eyes, he spoke word by word:
"Sister Tsunade, perhaps you are right. Konoha is now rotten to the root. They have betrayed the true will of fire!"
Tsunade's face was complicated, and filled with deep guilt.
"It's all my carelessness. You've already warned me the other night that the village is going to take action against Hatake. You've been in the ward these days, and I asked Kushina not to tell you about White Fang. It's only been a few days! How could Hatake Sakumo be like this!"
A legendary ninja who was so powerful and now one of the top ninjas in the ninja world, just fell in his prime?
What’s even funnier is that he didn’t die on the battlefield, nor did he die on the way to protect his companions, but instead it was such an ironic ending.
It’s not that Tsunade was careless, but she never thought that people could be so bad.
"No! You can't be blamed for this, Sister Tsunade!"
After removing the bandage, Uchiha Ye's pupils were bloodshot, but he looked calm. He stared straight at Tsunade and said in a deep voice:
"The mission failed, causing huge losses to the village! Who could have imagined such a ridiculous public opinion!"
When he said this, Uchiha Ye even showed a self-deprecating smile.
“But I remember that more than 20 years ago, in the Land of Lightning, the Second Hokage also chose his companions in order to protect the young people of the village, but abandoned his duty as a Kage protector and all the Kage returned to the village!
The current Will of Fire is so ironic. Sister Tsunade, do you think the damage caused to the village by the Hatake Jonin is as serious as the loss of a Nidaime Hokage?"
Uchiha Ye's self-deprecating hoarse laughter echoed, leaving Tsunade stunned. Yes!
Her second grandfather died in the Land of Thunder, but this group of so-called shadow guards all returned to the village safely, and one by one they have become the rulers of the village today.
The contrast with the current scenes is simply a huge irony.
While Tsunade was stunned, Uchiha Ye raised his head, looked straight at Tsunade and said in a deep voice:
"Sister Tsunade! My Uchiha family has taught me since I was a child that the Will of Fire is for peace and to protect children from going to the battlefield...
This is the original intention of Uchiha and Senju to create Konoha, but now Sister Tsunade, I can’t tell the difference... I really can’t tell the difference…”
At this moment, Uchiha Ye's eyes were filled with a look of near collapse and distortion.
"Tell me! Sister Tsunade! Was the original intention of Senju and Uchiha to establish Konoha to protect children from the battlefield? Was it for peace?
But why do I see batch after batch of children who have just graduated from the Ninja School rushing to the battlefield, while they are sitting in the village being protected by thousands of ninjas! "
When he said this, Uchiha Ye pointed angrily at the most conspicuous Hokage Building in the village outside the window.
"If all this is true, then why did the Second Hokage stay in the Land of Lightning? Why did he establish Konoha? Was the so-called peace and protection of children just an excuse?
Did the conflict between the major clans during the Warring States Period evolve into the current, even larger-scale Ninja World War?"
Just when Uchiha Ye was about to collapse in doubt, Tsunade hugged him tightly in her arms, instantly stunning his expression that was about to collapse.
"No! The original intentions of the Senju and Uchiha have not changed!"
At this moment, Tsunade's eyes were more determined than ever. Looking at Uchiha Ye, Kushina and Mikoto, Tsunade slowly turned her eyes to look at Hokage Rock, her eyes becoming more and more determined.
"It's these old guys who are rotten, so you want to become Hokage, not only to change the Uchiha, but also to change the village, right?"
As Tsunade's gentle voice echoed, Uchiha Ye's pupils began to focus, as if he had found his own will again.
"Hokage!?"
Looking at Uchiha Ye muttering to himself, Tsunade showed a firm smile, "That's right, Hokage!"
"White Fang gave up the mission for his companions and became a waste, but they who gave up the Hokage in the past have become the Hokage and the top brass today. They are the ones who betrayed the Will of Fire!"
Uchiha Ye followed Tsunade's words, and as he slowly spoke, his eyes went from being confused at the beginning to seeming to have found something. His eyes began to focus and slowly became firm.
"Hokage! If they truly abandon the Will of Fire, I will go all out to become the new Hokage of Konoha. I will personally correct the mistakes of the village!"
The village has taken the wrong path! He wants to change!
As the decisive voice echoed, Uchiha Mikoto in the room looked at the figure shining in the sunlight and couldn't help but reveal an obsessed and determined smile.
"Ye! I believe you!"
Uzumaki Kushina also nodded firmly. Her sense of belonging to Konoha was at most a desire for recognition. Her only real family members were Senju and Ye.
If Shi Ye wants to become a shadow, then she will help him with all her strength.
"Ye, I believe you!"
After watching Uchiha Ye regain his faith, Tsunade secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What a ninja fears most is the collapse of faith. Once you lose faith, you are almost useless.
"But kid, before you become Hokage, let your sister stand in front of you and protect you from the wind and rain."
At this moment, Tsunade in the ward showed a determined look, and her heart was filled with endless anger.
This time, the village’s top leaders went too far, and their methods were too shameless and despicable!
"Let me become the Fourth Hokage first. The Fifth Hokage in the future will depend on your efforts."
Tsunade's firm voice echoed, sweeping away the previous atmosphere, and at this moment Uchiha Ye was stunned.
What the hell!
Tsunade has exploded with fighting spirit. Is she going to compete for the position of Hokage?
With Tsunade’s current strength, if she competes for the Fourth Hokage, it can be said that no one in the village can stop her!
Even if the White Fang incident happened to Tsunade, it would be useless, because the Second Hokage's incident was enough to kill these high-level officials.
It’s incomprehensible!
No! There is another way to stop Tsunade from becoming the Fourth Hokage!
That is to start a war! In this way, these old guys can rely on the top positions of Hokage.
Three battles!
When he thought of the upcoming third war, Uchiha Ye showed a strange look, as if all of this would be connected together without him having to do anything.
There is no solution!
This was the biggest blame he could bear.
I hope these old guys can hold on.
