Escape From Konoha

Chapter 80: meet

The capital of the country of fire, the mansion of the daimyo.

It is said to be a mansion, but it is actually an incomparably magnificent castle.

There are maids and guards who serve the daimyo, and there are many powerful ninjas who hide in secret to protect the safety of daimyo.

In the castle tower at the highest point of the castle, the fire country daimyo, as well as several important ministers in the country, all gathered here to hold a meeting.

In addition, there are three generations of Hokage, the leader of Konoha Village, who is the strongest military symbol of the country of fire, and two advisors from the village, Koharu and Mito Gate, and Shimura Danzo, the leader of the root group.

The four of them also came to the castle's castle to meet with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

There is only one theme of the meeting they negotiated, that is, the three generations of Hokage are about to step down, and the position of Hokage will be passed on to the next generation.

Hearing that the three generations of Hokage are about to step down, the fire country daimyo, who has known the three generations of Hokage Sarutobi Hizan for many years, showed a regretful expression.

"It's a pity. I think you have done a pretty good job since you took up the position of the third Hokage, I didn't expect you to retire so soon."

"Your Excellency Daimyo is joking. In fact, I am already in my fifties, and my energy and strength are not as good as before. It is better to decide the next Hokage as soon as possible. Moreover, the reason why Konoha is always caught in the war, There are also reasons for my poor command."

Hizan said with a sigh, as if his mind had been made.

The Fire Nation's daimyo nodded, opened the folding fan in his hand and gently fanned it in front of him, which seemed full of aftertaste.

"Since that's the case, then, the four of you have come together, and you must have decided on the fourth-generation Hokage candidate."

Although the daimyo is nominally in the country, it has the highest administrative power and the highest military power.

However, this is not absolute.

In the decision-making of the Five Shadows, including the management of Shinobi Village, it is difficult for the daimyo to intervene.

Therefore, it is Konoha Village's own choice to decide the candidate of the fourth Hokage. The biggest purpose of coming here is to go through a scene and let the daimyo as a witness.

After all, Ninja Village needs financial assistance from nobles such as daimyo in order to operate.

This decades-long contract may not change for hundreds of years, and it will remain unchanged.

"Yes, this is the person we decided on."

Handed several documents with the same content to Daimyo and the rest of the Fire Nation's important ministers.

These important officials, including the daimyo, are all famous and wealthy, with financial and human resources that are difficult for ordinary people to match.

At the pinnacle of the Fire Nation's power.

For generations.

After reading the contents of the document, the Fire Nation's daimyo and other important officials nodded slightly.

Although the decision on the candidate was a bit unexpected, it was also reasonable.

"Yellow Flash? He is indeed an excellent ninja, and we can hear a lot of rumors about him here. Even among the nobles, there are many girls who admire him for such a young and promising ninja. When you come over next time, put the Bring him here too, my daughter would love to see him too."

The Fire Nation daimyo said with a smile.

"Your Royal Highness, the golden branches and jade leaves, is not in line with the ceremony. Besides, Your Excellency Da Ming is too much to praise the boy of Minato."

Hi Zhan laughed, and quietly rejected the proposal of the Fire Nation's daimyo.

The relatives who are related to the daimyo of the country of fire cannot be simple things. Especially for the existence of princesses, marriage is meant for political purposes.

No matter what, as Hokage, you can't let the power class outside the village intervene, which will damage Hokage's prestige and power.

"They're all young people, maybe they have more topics to talk about than us old guys."

Faced with the repeated requests of the Fire Nation's daimyo, Ri Zhan smiled without saying a word, not seeing any difference at all.

Danzang sneered silently, his eyes showing unwillingness.

Because a ninja like Namikaze Minato cannot be on his side no matter what.

But as one of Konoha's decision-makers, he also had to come here to attend such an important and not-so-important meeting.

It didn't take long to decide on the fourth Hokage, Hizan just excused that there were still things to deal with in the village, so he took the three Danzo and the accompanying Anbu out of the capital of the Kingdom of Fire, and headed back towards Konoha Village.

The first thing I did when I returned to the village was to send Anbu to issue announcements all over the village to let every Konoha ninja and villager know about the news that the yellow flashing Hikaze Minato would be succeeded as the fourth Hokage.

Konoha will also usher in a new era guided by the new Hokage.

No matter what kind of changes the village has ushered in due to the alternation of Hokage, at the top of the Hokage building, Hiyazaki summoned Minato by himself.

"I'm sorry, Watergate, for making you take on such a heavy responsibility so early."

Faced with Hiyazaki's apology, Minato replied, "Please don't say that, Mr. Sandai, since the village has decided that I will become the fourth Hokage, I will definitely move forward with a heavy burden."

Minato made such a realization.

Compared to the days of fighting on the front line, no matter how busy Hokage is, there is no more bumpy road than the front line.

Moreover, this is also a dream that I have had since I was a child - to become a Hokage.

"It's not what I want to tie you to the village, but many people in the village are already dissatisfied with my conservative approach. This time the transition is just right."

Minato listened carefully to Hiizaki's words.

"You don't have to worry about Yunyin. Although their movements are very strange, there are other ninjas in the village who can stop them from attacking the country of fire. In short, congratulations."

A heartfelt congratulatory smile appeared on Hizan's face.

Although Minato is not his disciple, he is also a Konoha ninja who grew up almost under his own eyes, and he is more knowledgeable than the rest.

Minato, who recognizes and implements the meaning of the Will of Fire, is a village that will surely lead well in the future.

But before that, the rest of the voices in the village must be silenced.

Otherwise, he would not be at ease to entrust the burden of guiding the village to Watergate.

For Watergate, the work of balancing the forces of the village was too difficult.

In short, let Minato slowly pass through Hokage's work first, to accumulate prestige and power.

By the time the water gate is full of wings, at that time, he has almost resolved the sharp contradictions in the village, and can truly retire, entrust everything to the water gate, and take care of the longevity.

So at this time, Hizan was apologetic to Minato.

On the one hand, he didn't want Minato to be his puppet, and on the other hand, he hoped that Minato could go beyond his estimates and let him let go of Konoha.

This kind of contradictory and complicated mood is exactly where Hizen gets tangled.

Looking at the sky, the three generations can see fascinatedly.

If Tobirama-sensei hadn't died at that time, the village would be a different face now. Ri Zhan thought to himself, missing the scene at that time.

Uchiha, it's time to really deal with it. If you continue to delay, I'm afraid the situation will be extremely detrimental to the stability of the village. A sharp look flashed in Ri Zhan's eyes.

In early August, after the inauguration ceremony of the fourth Hokage, Konoha officially announced to the countries of the ninja world that the yellow flash Namifeng Minato will succeed the fourth Hokage.

This thing, in a sense, is completely predictable.

The successor of the fourth generation Hokage will only appear between Yellow Flash and Sannin.

And Yellow Flash became the fourth Hokage, which means that Yellow Flash, a ninja with super strength, will not appear on the battlefield without special circumstances.

As for whether the yellow flash of Hokage will make Konoha go further, or go downhill, at present, it cannot be intuitively felt.

The only thing that is powerful for the yellow flash is his combat power. As for his leadership ability, it depends on his next actions.

No matter how turbulent the outside world is, Minato falls into trouble and happiness.

It's a bit complacent to say that, but becoming Hokage is indeed something to be happy about.

The trouble is that there are not many trusted cronies under Minato.

Those with some experience are in a wait-and-see state, and they rarely make a direct statement. Like the people outside the Shinobi village, they believe in the personal strength of the yellow flash, but it is worth thinking about the leadership ability.

Therefore, based on this embarrassing situation, Minato can only look for available talents from the new generation of ninjas.

For example, the Shadow Guards and their own Anbu were formed by themselves.

Based on this embarrassing situation, the previous generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiizan selected four classes from the Anbu directly under him, a total of 16 people, to serve as Minato's team, join Minato's directly under Anbu, and share Minato. pressure.

Unsurprisingly, one week after Minato succeeded the fourth Hokage, Kakashi joined Minato's direct subordinate Anbu as a ninja, assisting Minato's work, and as time goes by, he will become the sub-commander and deputy minister of Anbu. , Minister, it will be a matter of time.

Everything is going in a good direction.

What makes Kakashi interesting is that the order given to him by the three generations of Hokage is to assist Minato and obey Minato's orders.

Orochimaru asked him to pay more attention to the ninjutsu collection in the Hokage Building, such as forbidden arts.

Danzo asked him to monitor Minato's every move to see if he could find some black material and use public opinion to put pressure on Minato.

Fortunately, Shiraishi didn't have any orders, let Kakashi play freely, otherwise the burden on his body would be really heavy enough.

The third Hokage, the fourth Hokage, the leader of the root, one of the three ninjas... They are not good beings, and every one of them is stronger than him.

However, being an Anbu, Kakashi is not without benefits, that is, Minato used the power of Hokage to open up some important ninjutsu materials to him, let him read it, and let his strength quickly become stronger.

The ninjutsu information that Konoha has compiled over the years is of great help to Kakashi.

Although it is not a more mysterious fairy system, the use of pure chakra is not easy to use.

After completing Anbu's mission, Kakashi, the captain of the four-man Anbu squad, will come to the Hokage Building to report on the mission.

This time the mission is very simple, you need to solve the spy who infiltrated Konoha from the enemy country Shinobi Village. After stealing the secrets in Konoha, the enemy spy fled to the border of the country of fire, and was chased and destroyed by the Anbu team led by Kakashi, and successfully recovered the stolen secret scroll. The body of the spy ninja was also recovered and handed over to the interrogation department to identify the ninja force of which country.

Putting the stolen confidential scroll in the ninja kit, Kakashi, who had changed into Anbu costume and wore an animal mask, walked towards the office where Naruto was, preparing to hand over the scroll to the fourth Naruto wave Feng Minato to confirm the authenticity.

Before he got to the office, a ninja came out of the room in front. The ninja hugged a large box full of documents and carried it to the corridor, holding a thousand books like a toothpick in his mouth.

When he saw Kakashi in Anbu costume, he smiled and said, "Kakashi, are you here to find Hokage-sama?"

"Hey, Genma, don't call Anbu ninja's name casually."

Anbu's ninja identity needs to be kept secret, which should be common sense of ninjas.

Kakashi looked helplessly at the Konoha Ninja in front of him.

Wearing the uniform of Konoha Chunin, he was about the same age as himself, both thirteen or fourteen years old, and his name was Genma Shiranui.

He is one of the three former subordinates of Uchiha Ruri who has defected to the ninja. Now he is transferred to work here in the Naruto building, and he is also one of the shadow guard members of Naruto Minato.

"Haha." The man snorted and said helplessly: "No way, your silver hair and the short knife behind you are so iconic that everyone can recognize your identity."

"Then what are these documents?"

Kakashi looked at the contents of the box.

"It's an abandoned document. I'll deal with it. Sorry, I'll go ahead."

"It's okay, just do your business."

Kakashi watched the other party leave with the box in his hand, and sighed that there was really no one under Minato.

It's not that he looked down on Genma, who became a chunin, but a member of Naruto's shadow guard team, who was actually a ninja who had just become a chunin. The other party was more like coming here to do chores than the shadow guard's **** job.

As for the other two ninjas who are also members of the Minato Shadow Guards with Genma, they are also the new generation who have just become chunin.

Is it only possible to draw cronies from the new generation of ninjas? Kakashi took pity on what happened to Minato.

Came to the office where Watergate was, knocked on the door to get permission and entered, and found that there were three other people there.

Nara Shikahisa, Yamanaka Haiichi, Autumn Road Dingza.

The three Konoha Jōnin who performed a mission together two years ago.

Although they are Joinin, the weight of the three of them in the village should not be underestimated.

They were from the Nara clan, the Yamanaka clan, and the Akimichi clan.

The three families formed an indestructible alliance in the Warring States Period, advancing and retreating together, and inheriting special secret techniques, occupying a pivotal position among Konoha.

The most important thing is that these three families have been on good terms with the Sarutobi family where the three generations of Hokage Sarutobi Hizen belonged to.

The three of them came here, is the meaning of the three generations of Hokage? Kakashi was puzzled.

The disputes within Konoha were far more intense than outsiders imagined.

And Kakashi felt that he was at the center of such a fierce storm.

After Kakashi arrived, the three of Kakashi also glanced at him. Even if Kakashi wore a mask, others could identify him at first glance.

Silver hair, short white teeth, and a small body exudes an incomparably sharp aura. In this office, only Minato can treat her calmly.

"Then, I will trouble you about the things I mentioned just now."

Sitting on the seat that belonged to the third Hokage not long ago, Minato smiled and said to the three of Shikahisa.

"Don't worry, let us handle this matter, Hokage-sama, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Lu Jiu also responded with a smile, then took Hai Yi and Ding Zuo away and closed the door.

After the three left, Kakashi took out the stolen confidential scroll from the ninja bag and put it on the table in front of Minato.

"Lord Naruto, the mission has been completed."

This is also understandable. As long as he enters work, his teacher-student relationship with Minato will be invalid. There are only superiors and inferiors, and the relationship between Hokage and Anbu.

Watergate picked up the scroll and opened it. After confirming the contents on it, he rolled it up again and put it in the drawer.

"Thank you for your hard work. There is no problem with the scroll. Fortunately, it was solved before it caused trouble."

Minato breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Kakashi in a tone of admiration.

"Nothing, this is what I should do."

"Next, there is an important task for you, no problem, Kakashi. After completing this task, I will give you a few days of vacation to rest."

"This is my honor, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi answered seriously.

Watergate made him complete tasks one after another, mainly because no one was there.

Even the members of the Shadow Guard are all held by Chunin, and there are very few Chunin that can be completely trusted by their subordinates.

"This is the content of this mission, take a look."

Minato handed Kakashi the new quest scroll.

Kakashi opened it to confirm the content of this mission.

"The Land of Rain?"

The face under Kakashi's mask raised an eyebrow.

The mission location was in the Land of Rain, which surprised Kakashi.

To be honest, Kakashi feels that there are many extremely dangerous places in the ninja world right now.

In addition to the country of ghosts, the rest is the country of rain.

This seemingly broken country, which even lost its sovereignty, is secretly undercurrent.

"Yes, I'll leave this to you. Be careful, I don't think it's easy. If you find something wrong, it's okay to give up the mission."

Minato said to Kakashi with a serious look.

Kakashi just nodded.

Of course he knew that the Land of Rain was dangerous, and if he encountered the Eye of Samsara, he could only run away with his life.

He didn't want to die so young.

So, you need to prepare more detonators.

"As a result, the one who inherited the fourth Hokage's position is Yellow Flash?"

In a secret room in the cave, Nagato finished his training, and when he was resting in the room, he heard such information from Bai Jue.

"Yeah, everyone was surprised. That Orochimaru was completely defeated."

Bai Jue giggled.

"Speaking of which, Nagato-sama is still a fellow student of Yellow Flash, and they are all disciples of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas."

Hei Jue also said on the side.

"Forget about Jiraiya-sensei, we can't take Konoha lightly. Of course, the same goes for those three people, do you have any information on them?"

Nagato looked at Hei Jue.

Hei Jue knew who the 'three people' in the long door were referring to.

"Not yet. It's really strange. We searched almost every corner of the ninja world, but couldn't find their whereabouts. It's almost like the gods are hidden."

Bai Jue never agreed with a smile: "What's strange about this. When Madam Madara was still there, they suffered a lot from them. Their ability to hide themselves is indeed superb. But then, Konoha should be able to free up his hands. Come, deal with those three people."

Hei Jue also nodded in agreement.

"No, now is not the time to deal with those three people."

Nagato said different opinions, which surprised Hei Jue and Bai Jue.

Nagato looked at the half-burning candle on the candlestick, stared at the candle, and said, "Compared to those three people, Konoha is the biggest worry. I need to take back the sovereignty of the Rain Country, and I must let Konoha first. Or only when the country of fire is in chaos will we have a chance, and then we will deal with those three people."

"But……"

Nagato stood up from the seat and interrupted Hei Jue's speech:

"It's nothing. Konoha... The country of fire is too powerful. The stronger the country of fire, the more we have to rely on its breath to survive. Konoha and the country of fire are our number one enemy. The most important thing is The thing is, Konoha is on the bright side and it's easier to target. I don't know how long it will take to find those three people."

Seeing that Nagato's idea has been decided, Hei Jue and Bai Jue can only agree.

What Nagato said is also true, the power of the country of fire and Konoha is too strong.

Especially now the one who holds the position of Hokage is the yellow flash who is famous in the ninja world. In the future, Konoha will only become stronger and stronger. If you don't target it now, it will be more difficult to deal with.

"By the way, Bai Jue, who was at the border of the Land of Rain, got some very interesting news."

Bai Jue remembered something.

"what news?"

"Hatake Kakashi, the student with the yellow flash, sneaked into the Land of Rain not long ago, and it seems that he intends to investigate the expedition."

"Exploration?"

Nagato frowned.

He hated this new leader who usurped Hanzo's power and now commands Yuyin.

What's more, the current Hanzo has long been reduced to Konoha's obedient lackey, making a fortune in the rain, constantly excluding dissidents.

If he hadn't been jealous of Konoha's power, he would have already attacked him.

Nagato felt more and more that his decision was the right one.

If Konoha is not chaotic, the situation in the Kingdom of Rain and Yuyin will only get worse.

"Yes. There seems to be a little accident in the human trade between Kanzo and Danzo. If that Yellow Flash gets the evidence... Hee hee, Konoha, it will be interesting to see how that Danzo ends."

Bai Jue smiled happily.

"Don't be too happy. Yellow Flash has just served as Hokage, so I'm afraid it may not be a threat to Danzo. However, this is indeed a good opportunity, so let's take advantage of it."

A bright light appeared in Nagato's eyes.

Leading three Anbu men, Kakashi rushed from Konoha to the border of the Land of Rain in just one day and one night. Before officially entering the border of the Land of Rain, Kakashi's Anbu team rested for half a day and recovered all the After physical strength and chakra, he began to enter the country of rain.

The Land of Rain, which has been away from the war for two years, did not find peace the first time, but was even more chaotic than during the war.

Bandits and wandering ninjas are rampant everywhere, and people are exposed to the wilderness every day.

Entering this country, it is normal to encounter battles whenever.

Even a Joinin like Kakashi should be fully prepared.

Of the three subordinates in the team, one is a special jounin, and two are chunin. Although their strength is good, if they encounter a real master, I am afraid that they will not be of much use at all.

After all, it was the newly formed Anbu team. There were neither medical ninjas nor sensory ninjas in the team. The lineup was quite shabby.

Kakashi was just doing his best for this mission.

According to the information provided by Watergate, it seems that people often carry out criminal operations of human trafficking at the junction of the land of fire and the land of rain.

The number of people involved, as many as hundreds.

Kakashi doesn't know what lies behind human trafficking.

In short, confirming the truth of the matter as soon as possible is Kakashi's top priority.

At that time, it is inevitable to fight a powerful ninja.

It is impossible to control such a large amount of population transactions without powerful ninjas behind them.

While on the road in the Land of Rain, Kakashi suddenly noticed something and gestured for the three behind him to stop.

The three stopped according to Kakashi's instructions, and looked at the person blocking the road ahead in the rain with Kakashi, with surprised eyes.

"Lord Jiraiya, why are you here?"

The person who was soaking in the rain on the road ahead was tall, with long white hair reaching to his waist. He was Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas.

Kakashi and the others were surprised by Jiraiya's arrival.

"Don't worry, Kakashi, I was commissioned by Minato to carry out this investigation with you."

"Doing a mission with us?"

Kakashi was puzzled, with a cautious tone in his tone.

"That's right, Minato thinks that the mission you are performing is a bit dangerous, and there may be accidents when it is handed over to you, so please ask me to assist you shortly after your departure."

Zilai also explained.

Having said that, he took the order book written by Minato to Kakashi and the others for confirmation.

Only then did the Kakashi team believe that Jiraiya was also entrusted by Minato to assist them in completing the mission together.

"Then I'll trouble you, Jiraiya-sama. If you were here, this mission would be much smoother~www.readwn.com~ Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he didn't know who was behind the scenes in this matter, and if Jiraiya came to assist, the situation would be much better, at least there shouldn't be a problem in terms of safety.

That samsara-eyed guy who didn't know where to stare at the Land of Rain, just thinking about it, felt extremely terrifying.

"I hope so. It's not all because of Minato's entrustment that I came to the Land of Rain."

Zilai also answered.

"Does Lord Jiraiya have anything else to do?"

"Well, it's some old stuff."

Jiraiya looked at the gray and rainy scenery around him, his eyes darkened.

Nagato, how are you now? Are you still alive, or already...

Jirai also thought of this, and didn't dare to think about it.

No matter what, he will find the three Nagato. He wants to see people in life, and he wants to see corpses in death.

Hopefully it won't be the worst.

However, Jirai also knew that most of Nagato's three people had already lost their lives in the war that took place in the Land of Rain two years ago.

Sure enough, the son of prophecy is Watergate? Zilai also murmured in his heart.
