Chapter 247: The Name of Thousand Hands
Konoha 51 years.
When the news of the death of the Third Raikage of Kumogakure spread, the ninja world was instantly shaken, and countless people were shocked that Uchiha Ya was able to kill this powerful man on the battlefield.
Before this, the Third Raikage Ai was dubbed the strongest of the Five Kage in the Ninja World. It is understandable why the news of his death in battle shocked the entire Ninja World.
At the same time, the Hidden Cloud Village was in turmoil following the death of the Third Raikage in battle. The front-line Cloud Ninjas had begun to withdraw their troops and at the same time arranged for envoys to go to Konoha to prepare for peace talks.
At the same time, there are also peace envoys from the Sand Village.
Before, the ninja world was filled with war, but in an instant, the dawn of peace descended upon the entire ninja world.
However, before that, Ohnoki of the Iwagakure also sent envoys to negotiate with the three major ninja villages of Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure.
It is obvious that even when negotiating, the four major ninja villages must be prepared to join forces in the capacity of peace negotiators rather than a defeated country.
front.
"Jiraiya, it seems that you have also learned to be shameless like these old guys."
The flames of war on the front line dissipated in an instant, and in the atmosphere that should have been joyful, Tsunade's sarcastic sneer was heard from inside the tent.
The three ninjas gathered together again, but because of the war, their companions who had not seen each other for many years, a deep rift appeared between the three ninjas at this moment.
Jiraiya looked at the cup in his hand awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Orochimaru, on the other hand, was calmly looking at the information in his hand.
Only Tsunade gave a sarcastic smile.
"Sannin, wow, it's really a legendary title."
The more Tsunade mentioned the title of Sannin, the hotter Jiraiya's face became.
Because of the title of Three Ninjas, he got it by luck during World War II and took a lot of advantages from it.
As a result, in this third war, in order to cover up the power of certain individuals, including Tsunade, the village's top leaders kept emphasizing the strength of the Three Ninjas.
Although Jiraiya is already quite powerful now, he obviously took advantage of Tsunade this time, and even Orochimaru did the same.
"Ahem, Tsunade I...I don't know that either."
Jiraiya said awkwardly, but Tsunade teased with a fake smile:
"Of course you don't know. Now everyone outside is mourning the sacrifice of the heroes. What do you know, Jiraiya? I'm afraid you only know the old-fashioned concept of village stability. What you know is that your disciple is the best candidate!"
Tsunade didn't give Jiraiya any face at all, and directly spoke sarcastically about Minato Namikaze who had already arrived in the Land of Fire.
However, this made Jiraiya's face change, "Tsunade, this is top secret!"
"I, Senju Tsunade, am the head of Konoha's intelligence department!"
Without giving Jiraiya any chance, Tsunade coldly resigned from her position.
"Hehe, Jiraiya, what you believe in is nothing but another reincarnation."
At this time, Orochimaru laughed his unique laugh, looked at Jiraiya and shook his head:
"The five great nations fought to exhaustion, and then they all rested, and the ninja world once again entered a period of peace. When the power and ambition of the major ninja villages expanded again, the war broke out again under the trend of interests, hatred and desire..."
At the end, Orochimaru even joked: "Life is too fragile and short."
However, Orochimaru's overly philosophical words made Jiraiya frown. He shook his head and sighed, then looked at Tsunade.
"Tsunade, this time the old man and the others said that they are willing to give the Uchiha a fair chance. Now that the war is over and the village is continuing to recover, the selection of two candidates for the Fourth Hokage...
The old man and his men are willing to train the two of them with all their strength, and the Hokage is responsible for the entire village..."
After listening to Jiraiya's words, Tsunade suddenly realized that these old guys were still reluctant to give up the power in their hands.
The so-called selection of the Fourth Hokage is nothing more than a long process.
Uchiha Ya and Namikaze Minato were jointly selected as candidates for the Fourth Hokage, and then there began a long training process, during which time the power was still held by this group of old guys.
When he thought of this, Tsunade laughed angrily. Seeing this shameless face, he really experienced what it meant to have no bottom line.
"It's really a stable plan. The power is still in the hands of these old guys. They use the long-term training of the new Hokage as an excuse and continue to look for opportunities... Tsk tsk, I have to say, I really admire Tsunade..."
When she finished speaking, Tsunade looked at Jiraiya deeply, but the friendship between her and her companions in her eyes was gradually fading away.
People with different ideals cannot work together. Jiraiya's ideas are too different from hers.
"Tsunade, this is all for the village!"
Although Jiraiya's face was solemn at this time, he still did not give up persuading people to use what he thought was the most stable method.
"The village has just gone through a war, and what it needs is stability! Don't worry, five years! No! Three years! Three years at most. By then, as long as Uchiha Ya is really better than Minato in governing the village, I, Jiraiya, will definitely..."
"Stop talking Jiraiya."
Despite Jiraiya's excited persuasion, Tsunade calmly waved her hand. It was this indifference that made Jiraiya feel a little numb.
If Tsunade can still get angry, it proves there is still room for negotiation.
But now the indifference in Tsunade's eyes made Jiraiya even more sad. They were all companions who had been together all the way.
"Jiraiya."
Tsunade looked at Jiraiya calmly, without any emotion between her brows, and said calmly:
"When you talk about stability, I only know that when Konoha was first established, the Senju and Uchiha took great risks, suppressed their hatred, and made bold innovations, which led to the establishment of Konoha.
The second generation Hokage also boldly founded the Ninja School, so that ninjas were no longer exclusive to the major families, which led to the current Ninja world. "
When she said this, Tsunade's mouth curled up into an inexplicable smile.
"How come it's only been thirty years, but when it comes to the Third Hokage, being bold has become an unstable factor? If you're saying so, shouldn't the Second Hokage's return from the Land of Lightning be the biggest stabilizing factor?
Even the successor to the Third Hokage is our Senju clan, this is the greatest stability!"
Tsunade's calm words revealed a strong sense of irony.
This made Jiraiya speechless, but the will of a ninja who could get to this point was so strong that it could not be easily changed.
The more powerful the ninja, the stronger his will is! Because chakra and spiritual power are closely related.
"Tsunade!"
Jiraiya just emphasized his tone, as if he felt something was wrong. He scratched his head and let out an awkward and funny laugh to cover up the atmosphere just now.
"That was all in the past. Konoha now belongs to everyone. Isn't this also the will of the First Hokage? We are all ninjas of Konoha."
Jiraiya's unique funny laughter was usually the best way to liven up the atmosphere, but this time a rift had already appeared between the three ninjas.
In the awkward atmosphere, Jiraiya scratched his head with an embarrassed look, but his heart was full of melancholy. When did the three of them, the three ninjas, feel a sense of estrangement when sitting together?
In this atmosphere, Tsunade gently put down the teacup in her hand, slowly raised her eyes and looked at Jiraiya calmly, and said something in an extremely calm voice that made Jiraiya shudder.
"Jiraiya, if I find out that you dare to betray your fellow ninjas, then don't blame me in the name of the Senju..."
The last words were not said, but the coldness in Tsunade's bright brown eyes made the hairs on Jiraiya's back stand up, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his temple.
Tsunade is serious!
It was also a warning. If the same method was used to deal with White Fang again, or even more extreme ones, then don't blame her for taking over Konoha by force in the name of the Senju.
Fall apart!
After hearing this, Jiraiya hurriedly assured in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Tsunade! I promise!"
At this moment, Jiraiya realized the seriousness of the situation. If it really came to that, it would no longer be a minor internal turmoil, but an internal cleansing and bloodshed. "Tsk, Jiraiya, you should tell these old guys, remember to say it's me, Tsunade Senju, who said that!"
Tsunade snorted disdainfully, not taking Jiraiya's assurance seriously at all.
If we talk about ninjas, you, Jiraiya, are a Kage-level strongman, and are indeed a rare figure in a ninja village. But if we talk about the village, it is just a matter of choice.
Just like what happened to Orochimaru in the original work, it could have been a big deal or a small deal, but in the end he gave up.
"Shizune, Kurenai."
Following Tsunade's cold shout, the two Chunins, Shizune and Kurenai Yuhi, who were waiting outside, shouted hurriedly. It was obvious that both of them were carrying bags.
"Go and inform Ye to come with me to the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion."
"Yes!"
Seeing Tsunade put on her coat with a wave of her hand, and the two followers dressed in their clothes, Jiraiya was surprised:
"Tsunade, we are about to negotiate with the Kumo and Iwa ninjas, what are you doing..."
However, Tsunade snorted disdainfully and sneered directly:
"Why are you arranging people to go to the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion? Don't think I don't know."
Tsunade shook her golden twin ponytails, waved her hand, and left with her two little followers.
"Tsunade, if you leave, the peace talks will be over..."
"Stop talking nonsense. I'll leave the peace talks to you and Orochimaru."
At this moment, looking at the silhouettes falling in the autumn wind under the setting sun, Jiraiya's eyes seemed a little sad and dim, and at this moment, Orochimaru at the side let out an untimely and hoarse laugh.
"Hehe, it looks like there's going to be something interesting to watch."
Under Orochimaru's hoarse laughter, as Tsunade's figure disappeared, Jiraiya's funny smile gradually disappeared, revealing a lost look.
"Tsunade, is this for him?!"
Although there had been many rumors before, and it had even been almost confirmed, Jiraiya was still a little sad after actually seeing this scene.
Tsunade is clearly trying to stand up for Uchiha Ya, and judging from the situation, this is not an ordinary relationship at all.
"Orochimaru, did you know this a long time ago?"
After Tsunade left, Jiraiya shook his head helplessly, and when he was alone with Orochimaru, the feeling of bond at that moment came back again.
"idiot!"
It seemed as if the two of them were born with a destiny. Orochimaru, who was usually extremely polite, often spoke foul language whenever he faced Jiraiya.
However, after hearing this familiar idiotic voice, Jiraiya's eyes widened and his anger exploded.
"Orochimaru, what do you mean!"
However, Orochimaru gave him a cold look, which directly broke down his last psychological defense. It turned out that Tsunade and Uchiha were real!
At this moment, Jiraiya was extremely sad. Tsunade had been his companion and friend for so many years, but in the end, she was kidnapped by someone who was an Uchiha.
"Orochimaru, let's go! Let's have a drink!"
"idiot!"
"Hey, Orochimaru, we are companions after all. We are all for Konoha. Let's have a drink and then think of a way to persuade Tsunade not to get too upset with the old man..."
……
Under the fallen autumn leaves, bad news came from the Uchiha clan of Konoha, and several black crows flew outside.
The eyes of all the major families in Konoha were turned towards the Uchiha clan.
The patriarch of the Uchiha clan passed away!
These crow summoning beasts were clearly sent to deliver messages to the Uchiha ninja.
Inside the dark root base of Konoha.
"Haha, if the old man dies, then Uchiha Fugaku will definitely be recalled. This is a great opportunity!"
In the dim secret room, Danzo Shimura showed a sinister smile, and then gave orders in a deep voice to the Root ninja who was kneeling on one knee outside the door waiting for orders.
"Two Root divisions are heading there... Remember! Leave no one alive. Bring back the Sharingan to me and disguise yourself as a Kumo ninja."
"Yes!" An emotionless voice echoed outside the door.
However, as soon as the Root's order was issued, an Anbu in the Hokage's office reported it to the Third Hokage in a solemn voice without changing a word.
As the root of Konoha, the Root deals with all the matters that Konoha cannot let be seen in the open. If the current Hokage cannot control it, the Hokage would have been Danzo long ago.
“There is no need to investigate this matter.”
After listening to the report from the Anbu, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen looked indifferent, as if nothing had happened and he was unaware of it.
Since the root is the darkness of Konoha, then the light will naturally not be tainted by any darkness.
At this time, there was a figure in front of the memorial stone, staring at the entire Konoha indifferently.
"Madara... Lord, the Root has been dispatched, and their target is Uchiha Fugaku and his group and the Sharingan..."
Standing in front of the tombstone, Obito, wearing a tiger-patterned mask, listened to Zetsu's information and couldn't help but let out a hoarse smile.
"The Uchiha clan? They are nothing but a bunch of corrupt families."
There was only madness in Uchiha Obito's one eye. He didn't care about family or not. After Rin's death, there was nothing in the entire ninja world worthy of his attention.
"Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Nako, when? Have you found out the location?"
"After investigation, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Nako is expected to give birth next month, which is around mid-October. However, the Third Hokage is more cautious and has prepared five locations. The specific location is unknown..."
Looking at the yellow fallen leaves in autumn, Uchiha Obito looked at the tombstone in front of him, with a hint of madness in his eyes.
"Hehe, Lin, did you see that? A world without you shouldn't exist. Immediately..."
The crazy and neurotic laughter had made Jue who was standing by already accustomed to it. He was not normal in the first place, and the Uchiha who finally opened the Mangekyo was even more abnormal.
"Madara...sama, another Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina followed Tsunade to the Fire Country Daimyo's mansion..."
When mentioning the other Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uchiha Obito couldn't help but reveal a gloomy look.
Damn Konoha! The Nine-Tails was split in two, creating two human Chuuriki. It's simply shameless.
"Never mind for now, this Jinchuriki has Tsunade from the Sannin by his side, and he often has another pair of Mangekyō. It's not the right time yet!"
"There is also Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. We must think of a way. We must not wait until the Sannin and the others come back..."
Uchiha Obito's hoarse voice showed that he was arrogant but not stupid.
If the three ninjas and Uchiha Yado came back, even if two Nine-Tailed Foxes were released, it probably wouldn't cause too many casualties to Konoha.
Therefore, he had to take advantage of the fact that Konoha's main Kage-level combat forces were still outside negotiating before he had the opportunity to cause trouble in Konoha.
"I understand."
After hearing Obito's order, Black Zetsu showed a hoarse smile, and it was obvious that he was preparing to let the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki give birth early.
Thank you all for your support. The rest of the story will probably be about two or three chapters about the Daimyo Mansion, and then we will return to Konoha to prepare for the promotion.
