Gou in the ninja world

Chapter 57

"Uchiha... Obito?"

A few minutes later, after listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's series of explanations, Jiraiya also widened his eyes, frowned, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"impossible?"

He said in a tone of extreme disbelief.

Obito Uchiha, that kid, has that ability?
Zilai also expressed doubts.

Not to mention that Obito is dead, but in terms of strength, it's not that he hasn't met Uchiha Obito. Although he is not familiar with him, he is Minato's apprentice after all, so he has met him several times.

The three apprentices of Namikaze Minato all have very obvious characteristics, so Jiraiya is also very impressed with them.

In his memory, Uchiha Obito is a very mediocre Uchiha boy. Although he was born in Uchiha, he is not as arrogant as other Uchihas. He behaves carelessly and confusedly, and has no obvious talent. His strength is in the middle and lower ranks in the class, and he is even called the tail of the crane. Apart from his good temperament, he doesn't seem to be promising at all.

Could such a person be the murderer seven years ago?

You know, Obito was only 14 years old that year.

Even if Obito didn't die when Kannabi Bridge was back then, but you told me that a 14-year-old boy has grown by leaps and bounds in less than two years. He not only has the power to control Kyuubi, but also planned and completed it. The sudden incident that attacked Konoha and killed his master, the Fourth Hokage, single-handedly created Konoha's biggest disaster in decades. It is really unimaginable that this is something a 14-year-old boy can do.

Even in the ninja world where geniuses emerge in large numbers, this is appalling.

"If it weren't for the fact that it was right in front of me, I wouldn't want to believe it..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi heaved a low sigh when he heard the words, and murmured.

He understood Jiraiya's feelings, and it was only after seeing the masked man with his own eyes and verifying his ability that he truly accepted the fact.

And to be precise, Obito is not a person, because behind him stands Uchiha Madara, the strongest of the Uchiha clan in history, and Hei Zee, brother of the legendary Six Paths Sage Otsuki Hagoromo. With the participation of individuals, it is no surprise that something happens.

From this point of view, Obito's identity is not so difficult to accept.

"Okay." Jiraiya rubbed his temples, forcing himself to accept this reality, and felt that his worldview had been greatly impacted by the way.

"So, you all got this information from that Uchiha boy named 'Bai Ze'?"

"That's right."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, and then reminded again.

"By the way, it's best not to reveal this secret to others easily. Xiaoli has ninjas who are proficient in intelligence gathering. If we don't go through special treatment, our conversation is likely to be eavesdropped by them."

Ever since he learned about the existence of Bai Ze, Sarutobi Hiruzen has attached great importance to the security of intelligence, no matter where he goes, he will strictly guard against any loopholes that may leak, because this is their only advantage at present.

"I know."

Jiraiya nodded seriously, with a serious expression on his face. As an intelligence worker, he naturally understands the importance of intelligence. It is an important part of a country's military power. Sometimes, intelligence is even more important than the life of a ninja. to be important.

Therefore, he understands Hiruzaru Sarutobi's secrecy about this aspect very well. If it is not because he is his apprentice but is still an important "three ninjas", he will probably keep it a secret from himself.

At the same time, he also understood why Hiruzaru Sarutobi opened the sky-covering magic circle when he was talking to himself.

If what Sarutobi Hiruzen said is true, then the importance of that ninja named 'Shirasawa' can be said to be unprecedentedly important. In order to protect this precious source of information, no price will be paid. Pass.

"Old man, no wonder you are so eager to ask me to come back."

Jilai also exhaled a long breath, half lying on the fence, scanning the surrounding buildings with a very complicated expression, silent for a while, and then slowly turned his head.

"But speaking of it, I'm getting more and more interested in that 'Bai Ze'. When will you let me meet him?"

Just listening to Hiruzaru Sarutobi's words, Jilai always had some dubious beliefs, after all, seeing is believing, he still wanted to see with his own eyes the authenticity of that Shirasawa.

To be honest, if he didn't see it for himself, he really wouldn't be able to easily believe that there are humans in this world with better predictive ability than the big toad fairy who has lived for thousands of years.

"Ah."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi took it for granted that since he had told Jiraiya about Yukimura's existence, it was a natural choice to arrange for them to meet in order to convince him completely.

"However, you may have to wait a few days, after Tsunade returns..."

After thinking about it, he continued.

"Tsunade?" Jiraiya was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at him sideways, and said, "Will that guy come back too?"

"Well, I specially asked someone to find her back."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him. After these major changes, the high-end combat power of Konoha Village was seriously lacking. It was the time when personnel were most scarce. Of course, it was necessary to gather any forces that could be united. Not to mention Sannin who occupies an important position in the "future".

For future stability, Jiraiya and Tsunade are indispensable.

"However, according to the news I received last night, Tsunade is now on his way back to the village, and will arrive in Konoha in about three or four days."

"Oh?"

Zilai also became more curious.

"Are you actually capable of persuading her to come back?"

He was slightly surprised.

The reason for Tsunade's departure is also known to him, and various factors are intertwined and complicated. Even his former companion may not be sure to persuade Tsunade, and Sarutobi Hiruza did not personally dispatch, but actually sent his subordinates It was done, which amazed him.

"Probably because we have found the most suitable candidate..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi exhaled smoke rings, and said slowly.

"The most suitable candidate..."

Jilai also showed a slightly confused expression, he was silent for a moment, and quickly searched all the suitable candidates in his mind, a light flashed in his eyes suddenly, as if he thought of something instantly.

"Hey, old man..."

He frowned, and guessed suspiciously: "Could you be looking for someone from there?"

Sarutobi Hiruza didn't speak, just turned to look at him, from his eyes, Jiraiya also got the answer.

"I see."

Ji Lai also let out a long sigh and understood.

The "people over there" in his mouth refers to no one else, but the Thousand Hands Clan who used to be astonished.

The Uchiha clan and the Senju clan are known as the two most powerful families in the ninja world. In the Warring States Period 60 years ago, no single family could compete with them alone. It can be said that they dominated for a while.

However, after the establishment of Konoha Village, the Uchiha clan continued to flourish, while the Senju clan gradually withdrew from the stage of history. The specific reasons for this are Sarutobi Hiruza and Jiraiya. Old people can know.

The reason why the Thousand Hands disappeared was not because they were killed or injured in successive years of battles, nor was it because others feared their strength and persecuted them. Speaking of Senju Bashima and the second generation of Hokage Senju Tomona.

60 years ago, when Konoha Village had not yet been established, the Senju Clan headed by Senju Hashirama lived and developed together as a family unit. s things.

However, in the zero year of Konoha, after the Ninja Village was established, the narrow family concept was no longer applicable to the situation at that time. Those who want to protect and fight for Hokage's Senju Hashirama are no longer just the Senju clan, but have expanded to the entire Konoha Village.

Therefore, at this stage, retaining the original Thousand Hands Clan is no longer in line with the situation at that time.On the one hand, the Qianshou clan is too powerful. They control most of the discourse power in Muye Village. The concentration of excessive power will arouse selfish desires and ambitions, and at the same time, it is not conducive to the future development of Muye Village.

Senju Bashima and Senju Feima can guarantee that they are people who are dedicated to the village, but they cannot guarantee that their descendants, or that the descendants of the Senju clan will also inherit their ideas. If some of them have selfish intentions, With the strength of the Qianshou clan, it may cause severe turmoil.

On the other hand, if Senju Hashirama, who has become Hokage, still retains the Senju clan, it will also cause some criticism from outsiders in terms of the situation at that time.When the village was first established and people's hearts were unstable, a Hokage from the Senju Clan would inevitably make people suspect whether his motive was for the Senju Clan. In order to prevent the development of the above situation, Senju Hashirama was born as Hokage An idea came up, that is to disband the entire Thousand Hands Clan.

Although they are both the strongest ninja clan, unlike the Uchiha clan with Sharingan, the Senju clan does not have any dominant genetic characteristics, and they will not be easily identified when they blend in with the crowd.At the same time, as long as the Qianshou Clan ceased to exist, no one would doubt Senshou Zhuma's sincerity towards the village. Just imagine, if someone even wants to abandon his own family for the sake of the village, what selfishness might there be?

However, thinking about it, it is not so easy to complete this plan.To disband the family is to give up the reputation and influence that the Thousand Hands Clan has built up over the centuries. Although they have received the support of Qianshou Feijian, there are still many selfish people in the Thousand Hands Clan who are unwilling to give up these precious things , even if it is Senshou Zhujian, it is impossible to use strong methods to force them.

Therefore, in order to deal with this situation, Qianshou Feijian thought of a compromise.

When Konoha Village was established, in order to stabilize the relationship between Konoha Village and the fire country daimyo, under various arrangements, Senjujuma married his daughter to the son of the fire country daimyo at that time. way to ensure better cooperation between the two parties.Their children are Tsunade, one of the Sannin in the future, and her younger brother Nawaki, which is why Tsunade and Nawaki are not surnamed Senju and there are so many Hokages before and after, but only the first Hokage Senjuju The reason why Ma's granddaughter Tsunade is called Princess Tsunade is because she is really a princess.

The idea of ​​Qianshou Feijian is based on this situation. Since some people have no reason to give up the benefits brought by the family, they will be sent to serve under the daimyo of the country of fire. Soldiers live in the capital of the Fire Country, away from the environment of Muye Village. On the one hand, they can guarantee their demands for power and status, and on the other hand, they can prevent them from adversely affecting the political status of Muye Village. The ninja who left with the daughter of Senjujuma is the origin of the temple of fire and the guardian twelve ninjas in the future.

After sending away the stubborn conservatives, the remaining people can be easily arranged. They have no ambitions or desires. As long as they can live in peace and stability, it doesn't matter whether the Thousand Hands Clan exists or not. These people changed their names and merged into Konoha , Became ordinary villagers.

Immediately afterwards, decades passed, and the part of the Thousand Hands Clan who moved to the capital of the Fire Nation changed their names, and took advantage of the previous in-law relationship to develop vigorously, and became aristocrats with high officials and powers. Part of the power of the Kingdom of Fire owns a military armed group headed by the Temple of Fire, which has become the main source of power for the daimyo.

And the people who stayed in Muye Village have completely integrated into Konoha, and they can't tell the difference from other people at all. Unless they go through detailed research, many people don't know that their ancestors were originally Has such a glorious history.

In this way, the Qianshou family was divided into two and disappeared in the long river of history. Although their blood is still circulating in the world, the surname of Qianshou has gradually disappeared.

And the old man Sarutobi Hiruzen had contacted before was a member of the Senju clan who left Konoha Village that year. The former Senju Masanari and the current Morita Masanari are also His Excellency Dai Nayan of the Fire Country.

　Kishimoto didn't explain what to do to fill in the trap of the Thousand Hands, so he could only make up his own brain...
