Chapter 274 Breakthrough (8K for subscription~)

The purpose of Sarutobi Hiruzen to mobilize Anbu is very obvious, That is to start with some people.

Natsuhiko gave him so much time to prepare, and he continued to show his strength and confidence, Sarutobi Hiruzen really didn't have much choice.

Especially after that meeting with Nara Shikaku and Natsuhiko, he knew that Natsuhiko had made up for any subsequent issues that might have caused trouble for Konoha.

It really gave him a thorough understanding of how determined Natsuhiko was to get rid of these problems.

I also blame these people who used to follow him. They shouldn't have any crooked thoughts. If they have such thoughts, no one can save them.

The moon is sparse, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is standing on the Hokage Rock, his eyes are somewhat complicated and look Konoha shrouded in darkness.

The kid Kakashi is now the Konoha Anbu Commander, and he has contacted Kakashi and has Kakashi's support.

Now, what he wants to do is the last thing, and in the end he is the last thing he wants to do and has to do.

“Hey”

For a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed faintly, then he closed his eyes slightly.

Now he is nominally a member of the Elder's Group, but in fact he can only be regarded as a consultant to Natsuhiko, because the Elder's Group may really be In name only after tonight.

But when it disappears, it disappears. As Hokage, he knows what the meaning of Elder's Group's existence is.

It exists to deter an ill-advised Hokage from doing the wrong thing, thereby dragging Konoha into the abyss.

But when Elder's Group's abilities don't match Hokage's abilities, then Elder's Group will become a drag on Hokage's progress.

Especially now that the Elder's Group is going to do things that endanger Konoha, which Sarutobi Hiruzen is really hard to recognize and understand.

Sarutobi Hiruzen probably didn't pay attention to Natsuhiko's ability at first, after all, Natsuhiko was just a Small Captain at the beginning.

But as he seized the position of the big Captain, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to pay attention to this little demon from Senju Clan.

This little demon at first is well hidden, and his performance is also very good.

But over time, Sarutobi Hiruzen gradually found that this little demon is really difficult to control.

Especially when he completely got the Anbu Commander position, this made Sarutobi Hiruzen understand the little demon's tricks.

It's just that he realized it was too late, this little demon was no longer able to intervene and deal with it.

It's not that he didn't think about pulling Natsuhiko, the little demon, to his side, and he also ran out of the olive branch, but Natsuhiko refused without the slightest hesitation at the time.

It was a pity for him at the time, but now he can't help but sigh that what he did was really stupid.

A man like Natsuhiko who has both ambition and ability and strength, is he really willing to obey his own arrangement and take his own class obediently and honestly?

It was obviously impossible, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is now happy that Natsuhiko didn't choose himself at the time.

After all, if he had chosen himself at the time, he could definitely have taken a simpler path, so would Natsuhiko still have the sharpness he is now?
He didn't know this question, but he knew that the current Natsuhiko really surprised him.

He's getting old, and his way of thinking really can't keep up with a youngster like Natsuhiko, and his behavior isn't as vibrant as a youngster's.

But that doesn't mean he can't see the quality of Natsuhiko's policies, can't see Natsuhiko's ability, can't see Natsuhiko's skills!

Although the policy given by Natsuhiko is a bit radical in his opinion, he also takes into account the interests of all parties in such radicalism.

This kind of approach really doesn't show that he is just a fifteen or sixteen year old youngster, and his follow-up policy is completely aimed at Konoha's weakness.

And with Konoha's deficiencies, he pushes forward the reforms he needs. With such a keen thinking and way of doing things, Sarutobi Hiruzen feels that even if he is thirty years younger, he may not be able to do it.

This kind of thinking mode and understanding mode has created a huge fault and gap with him. According to ninja strength, this can be said to be in a different dimension.

Sarutobi Hiruzen really doesn't understand how Natsuhiko developed such a mindset.

This kid is obviously so young, but this kind of trick is really not something a youngster can do.

"Maybe, this is the genius."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, and then the chakra in his body moved slightly, thinking for so long that he should move now.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is getting old, but his chakra is getting more and more pure, and even ten years later he can compete fiercely with Orochimaru.

Now that he is not that old yet, his strength is still there, even if it is not as good as Shinobu back then, but he is not something that other people can underestimate!

With a quick rush all the way, with the use of Body Flicker Jutsu, he quietly entered the house of Mitokado Homura.

After Anbu's investigation, he knew that his two old students would meet here tonight, so he just came here and waited.

After avoiding all the guards and waiting for Anbu to take his place, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly walked into the house he was familiar with.

Mitokado Homura is his old friend and also his old student. He has come here quite a few times. It can be said that he is relatively familiar with everything here.

At this time, there was no one in the living room. Only the moonlight slowly penetrated into the dark house. Sarutobi Hiruzen walked slowly to the seat, and he slowly sat down.

The bright moonlight fell on him, making him look so lonely and so cold.

In this place, he began to reminisce about their past, everything they had experienced.

Because he knows very well that after tonight, I am afraid that his old student will no longer exist. His coming here is actually a farewell.

“da da da ”

The crisp sound of wooden clogs hitting the floor made Sarutobi Hiruzen wake up suddenly, knowing that his two old friends had returned.

Just as expected, when the door was slowly pushed open, these two people suddenly noticed that there was someone in the room!

They immediately took a defensive stance, only to be involuntarily surprised when they could see through the cold moonlight who was in the room.

"Hiruzen, why are you?" Utatane Koharu asked in surprise, but soon her face changed slightly: "You are here for the purpose."

"Well , I think you guessed it." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly, his eyes full of loneliness: "Sorry, I can't do anything, and I can't change anything."

"You are In betrayal, betrayal of your Third Hokage, betrayed the whole of Konoha!"

Mitokado Homura almost shouted loudly, using his voice to get everyone's attention.

"Actually, I've been trying to get him to stop this, but you guys."

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly shook the shaking ones head, he stood up with a very loud voice. Depressed and lonely.

"You shouldn't, really shouldn't"

"Are you going to let us just obediently surrender like this?

Stop dreaming Sarutobi, you and Your clan is settled, after all, you are Hokage, he dare not do anything, but we are different!"

Different?

Is the difference what could cause unrest in Konoha?

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes slightly, and he didn't want to say more at this moment.

Because in this brief moment he has completely made a firm resolution. If he was forced by Natsuhiko before, then now he is willing to do it.

He is alone now, his friends are dead and so is his wife.

He now has only Konoha left.
This night was a very ordinary night for the ordinary ninja and residents of Konoha.

But it was another big night for Konoha.

The timing of Sarutobi Hiruzen's move was very clever. He made his move when his old students were prepared, but the preparation was not enough.

The result is that Konoha not only got the evidence they wanted, but also swept all the hidden dangers into the dustbin of history.

On the second day, after Natsuhiko got the report, he burned the report to ashes with his own hands. After all, thousands of lives were recorded in this report and just disappeared.

And Natsuhiko heard that when Anbu and the Guard went to deal with the corpse, it took a lot of work to do it all.

The corpse of thousands is not a small number, and the same thing has made a lot of noise in Konoha.

It has to be said that now that Anbu, Root and the newspaper are in his hands, Natsuhiko's control over the entire Konoha public opinion has also reached Peak.

He could control Anbu and the newspaper alone to target Sarutobi Hiruzen before, because Sarutobi Hiruzen was just a proxy Hokage after all.

In everyone's eyes, Natsuhiko is following Fourth Hokage, so Sarutobi Hiruzen can't do anything to Natsuhiko, after all, the name is not right.

But now Natsuhiko has been carefully selected and assessed, and has become a legitimate Hokage, and these institutions are also controlled by him as it should be by rights.

Therefore, with the efforts of the three parties, even many of the cleaning personnel at this time are living in relatively densely populated areas.

But the news that can be spread is not much, only the strong bloody smell has not dissipated for a long time, which seems to prove that they once existed.

apart from this, only a few ninja knew about it, and they were shocked by what Natsuhiko did.

And to be honest, it wouldn't be a big deal if Natsuhiko spread it out.

After all, he had plans ahead, and the residents of Konoha were more or less aware of what these unfathomable mystery disappearances were planning to do.

But after that night, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Natsuhiko took a week-long vacation.

He didn't say what he was going to do, and Natsuhiko didn't ask. Instead, he was delighted to give the old man a time to rest and buffer.

Natsuhiko knows very well that Sarutobi Hiruzen really has nothing left now, and to be precise, his friends of the same generation are afraid that there is not much left.

While his son Natsuhiko knew one was dead, the other, Asuma, was definitely not a peace of mind.

The loneliness of this old man is only clear to him, so Natsuhiko doesn't plan to embarrass him. After all, he is really under a lot of pressure now.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen will continue to suffer from infamy after fiercely cleansed Konoha of unrest.

With the increasing number of related reports on the newspaper, especially the news about Special-Jonin began to be excavated more and more deeply with Natsuhiko's tacit approval.

The scolding of those Special-Jonins towards Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally grew louder.

After all, according to what has been excavated, the probability that they will be kicked to Chunin in the future is probably greater than the probability of becoming Jonin!
They originally imagined that Jonin's improvement would be so great, so they should also be able to enjoy a little bonus as Special-Jonin.

But now that this has come to light, they know they won't be able to eat anything at all, and they even have to go back to Chunin.

In such a situation, how could they not be angry, but their anger was not directed at Natsuhiko, but at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After all, Natsuhiko has just dealt with thousands of people, even if it is justified, it will leave some people with awe.

Of course, respect is stronger and fear is weaker, which is what Natsuhiko wants.

Apart from this, Natsuhiko is pushing hard for Jonin welfare reform, and there are reports that he intends to push through other levels of the ninja welfare system as well.

So they are more impossible to scold Natsuhiko, and the only person they want to scold is Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"How do you feel after a week off?"

However, no matter how loud the wind outside, they can't affect the decision makers. On the last day of the week off, Natsuhiko came in person Sarutobi Hiruzen's home.

"It's okay, after all, I'm old and like to keep reminiscing about the past."

Sarutobi Hiruzen made a pot of tea himself, and he slowly filled Natsuhiko while he slowly filled it. said.

"It's not necessarily useless to get old, as the saying goes, the old man is like a treasure, and it turns out that you are sometimes precious."

Natsuhiko It's good to pick up Sarutobi Hiruzen The tea, smelled the fragrance that came from the teacup, said with a faint smile.

"I'm really important in giving you the black pot, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slowly, then he took a sip of tea before he said seriously.

"I'm willing to take on this kind of thing, and I can keep taking it, just like Danzo.

But I only have one request, that is, I want to see it in my lifetime Konoha stands on top of Ninja World, you have to do it!"

"I promise you this, and you will see it."

Natsuhiko is still on this matter Very confident, it's all about the Natsuhiko system mission anyway.

And after really doing Hokage, Natsuhiko felt really bad about not doing something.

In the end, everything about the previous life is deeply engraved in his DNA, although Natsuhiko may not be able to come up with a Ninja World unification.

But it seems that it is not impossible to build a multilateral interest community. After all, Naruto has almost done it.

"By the way, call Asuma back sometime, Konoha is short of talent right now, and he does nothing with the identity of Konoha Ninja, which is unreasonable and legal."

"Indeed, that child should be back too, by the way, do Tsunade and Jiraiya need me to get you back?"

"hmph, when Konoha and Hidden Cloud fought, they didn't Come back, I tolerated them too. They're Sannin, and there's even a Senju Clan's."

"It seems you have a really big opinion on them, just what if they come back later?"

"Jiraiya came back, but I gave him a mission to track down Orochimaru. As for Tsunade, let's talk about it when the time comes"

Tsunade and Jiraiya's return, Natsuhiko also Really don't care that much.

Although their return would give Konoha a nice morale boost, it could also bolster Konoha's overall strength.

But they've been gone for so long, they didn't even think about coming back when Konoha was in the most trouble, so in Natsuhiko's opinion, if they don't want to come back, just don't come back!
Konoha now has Natsuhiko on their side, they are really not afraid of any big trouble, as far as Ninja World is concerned, no one dares to come to Konoha's trouble.

Natsuhiko knew it was true that they didn't want to go back to Konoha, but Konoha didn't come back when it was so dangerous, did they really take Konoha as their home?
Maybe they are back, and they will choose to shoot according to the actual situation. According to their characters, they may really be able to do such a thing.

But Natsuhiko doesn't see that nature doesn't count, and that's what Natsuhiko's mission to Jiraiya is.

This is a clear signal that he is telling Jiraiya and even Tsunade through Jiraiya that you are not willing to come back and that Konoha will not welcome you back.

Natsuhiko is definitely a strong shadow, and he doesn't think being a shadow is bad at all.

After all, the shadow represents a village attitude. Natsuhiko is not the current Sarutobi Hiruzen. You must know that the young Sarutobi Hiruzen was also a very strong person.

As for calling Asuma back, the meaning is very clear, that is to find a suitable heir for them Sarutobi Clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's move in has helped Natsuhiko so much, and Sarutobi Clan has grown to a good point when he was Hokage.

And now Sarutobi Clan's approaching speed is not slow, especially they are not involved in the previous bad things.

In this case, giving this clan some room for development can be regarded as an image promotion.

This can be considered I'm telling everyone, you see Sarutobi Clan, the clan that makes me very uncomfortable, can develop, you and I are absolutely right.

But Natsuhiko will also curb Sarutobi Clan's development cap, and even make them spit out a lot if necessary.

After all, the cake they ate back then was really not that small.

Time flies, and for the rest of the time Natsuhiko has Nara Shikaku watching the progress of Jonin's reforms while also letting him prepare for negotiations with Hidden Cloud.

Everything went well with Jonin's reforms, but Natsuhiko had hoped that the Great Clan would take out the clan to collect Ninjutsu, but he didn't continue to mention it.

It's not that everyone doesn't want it or that Natsuhiko has forgotten it, but it's not necessary at all.

Natsuhiko was quite full after the clans who used to follow Sarutobi Hiruzen were wiped out by him.

The Ninjutsu confiscated from their clan goes with Konoha's original Ninjutsu library, which is also completely used by Natsuhiko for the Jonins.

But an interesting fact is that Sarutobi Clan volunteered a lot of Ninjutsu.

Natsuhiko is naturally not polite to such a situation, and Sarutobi Clan's foothold is actually such a large number of Ninjutsu.

Now that their clan has completely surrendered, they are willing to show more things, and Natsuhiko will naturally not refuse.

With these huge natural resources, plus the Ninjutsu that Hidden Cloud is about to deliver, things are looking great for Jonin in Konoha now.

According to Nara Shikaku's assessment, Konoha could soon begin trying Chunin's welfare reforms.

This is definitely good news for Natsuhiko, the most troublesome level is over, so the next thing will be relatively simple.

But Nara Shikaku is really tired. It's a good thing that the reform is successful, but he has to deal with the next problems.

And he is not only responsible for this, but also integrates some of Konoha's government affairs. Most importantly, he also needs to cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deal with the Hidden Cloud negotiations.

Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for the negotiation, they have no idea whether it is a newcomer, so this matter also needs the help of Nara Shikaku.

As for other messy issues, the Ministry of State Affairs needs to deal with them, which really made Nara Shikaku's pressure to be endless, and the fatigue level also rose wildly.

Although he knows that this is a temporary problem, according to the development speed of Konoha, the core hub department of the Ministry of Government will only get busier and busier in the future.

So Natsuhiko naturally recommended the secretariat to Nara Shikaku. After all, Natsuhiko planned to make the secretariat a secretariat.

Nara Shikaku has long heard of the unique secretarial department that Natsuhiko founded when he was in Anbu, and relies on this department to constantly relieve himself of the pressure of work.

It's just that Nara Shikaku is a little worried that once the department gets bigger, it will become an empty minister.

Although he knew from Natsuhiko's statement that the secretary had no real power at all, they had the right to propose.

Crucially, all paperwork is turned in by them, and they quietly influence the propensity of decision makers.

I have to say that Nara Shikaku is really powerful. The reason why Humphrey can play the minister and even the prime minister in the palm of his hand is that he has the right to submit documents.

Of course not all, they are more important to grasp the time of the meeting and the itinerary of the decision makers, which is convenient for them to arrange a lot of things.

For example, when it's time for lunch or get off work, the most important proposals are brought out at this time, so what time do decision makers have to discuss?
What's more, those ministers and prime ministers can't sit in this position for long, so they can't play these secretaries at all.

But this world is different, after all, they don't have a time limit for their reign.

Nara Shikaku probably just wanted to understand this, and then he also accepted Natsuhiko's proposal, this can be considered the 1st Step of Natsuhiko's expansion secretary department.

But then he ignored it, he left behind a Shadow Clone and quietly left Konoha .
In a jungle in Land of Fire, Natsuhiko quietly appeared here , then he quickly moved towards the front.

This place is Orochimaru's lair in the Land of Fire, Natsuhiko only met Orochimaru a few months ago, he didn't expect Orochimaru to come to him now.

But he knew that Orochimaru would never bother him when he had nothing to do, especially now that he has become a Hokage, the busyness will naturally only be higher.

What's more, Konoha's reform is not hidden, this reform is almost directly put in front of everyone.

Under such circumstances, Orochimaru naturally thought that Natsuhiko was definitely busy right now, so if there was nothing to do, I'm afraid he wouldn't look for Natsuhiko.

Fast through the densely packed underground tunnel Orochimaru built, and soon he came to Orochimaru's laboratory.

At this time, Orochimaru was full of excitement and looked very strange.

But his expression made Natsuhiko's eyes twitch slightly, and he seemed to realize what Orochimaru was looking for now.

"Hokage-sama, you're here."

Orochimaru had already sensed Natsuhiko's arrival, after all, this was his territory, and he turned to Natsuhiko with a smile. He bowed slightly.

"It seems that my sensei really lost, but losing to Hokage-sama is normal, after all, he is really old."

"many thanks for your congratulations, but I don't think you brought me here just for this kind of boring thing."

Natsuhiko looked at this Orochimaru calmly, and there was a smile of peace on the corner of his mouth. .

"Looking at Orochimaru-sama's expression, maybe there is something new that brought me here, right?"

"Yes, there is indeed a new discovery. After all, after Minister Natsuhiko became the Fifth-Kage Head Hokage, he had far more natural resources than before."

Orochimaru licked his tongue with a smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement .

"So if I don't show more value, then maybe I will be abandoned by Hokage-sama in the future.

But God seems this time really helps With me, I have indeed made a lot of and gratifying discoveries."

Natsuhiko heard Orochimaru softly nodded, although Orochimaru's words were a bit too realistic, but Natsuhiko himself knew that he was a reality doctrine.

Now that Natsuhiko is Hokage, he has almost the entire Konoha's natural resources, and if he invests more it's hard to say if there's really nothing to do without Orochimaru.

When he was still Anbu, he had already split up the medical department, and part of it was integrated into Anbu.

Now that he's Hokage, he doesn't even mention the medical department in those eight departments, even if he didn't restore it.

But the current medical department still exists, but it was downgraded by Natsuhiko to the medical department under Hokage's name.

It can be said that Natsuhiko really wants to do something, he can fully mobilize the medical department to do it, even if their level is not as good as Orochimaru, but after all, there are more people and more natural resources.

Orochimaru himself came from Konoha, and of course, knowing how huge the natural resources of Konoha are, his worries are normal.

But Natsuhiko didn't take similar action at all, not even Kakashi, who was already in charge of Anbu.

Even though he really wanted to try and revive what he had lost in his heart, he knew that this sort of thing couldn't compare with keeping Konoha stable.

So he didn't mess around from start to finish, Konoha's experiments have been going on slowly.

Now that Orochimaru has come up with the results, Natsuhiko is actually quite happy, because having this Jutsu Natsuhiko is equivalent to getting another trump card.

After all, this is the art of resurrection. With this Jutsu Natsuhiko, you can win more people's hearts and create a super trump card for yourself.

as the saying goes well, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, with this Jutsu, if Natsuhiko encounters any accident, he can also let people resurrect himself, right?

"It seems that Orochimaru-sama really gave me a surprise."

Although Natsuhiko was very happy, he was very restrained, but still kept a warm smile. .

"I don't know what kind of breakthrough Orochimaru-sama has, and where did Orochimaru-sama's strength materials come from?"

"Don't worry, I It's naturally impossible to misbehave in the Land of Fire when Hokage-sama is in power and we cooperate."

Orochimaru licked his tongue, replied with a smile.

“I might have to pay me a commission for speaking of which Hokage-sama, after all I swiped through quite a few bandit dens in Land of Fire.

These guys are all He is a person who can't get along in the small country next door. After he came to Land of Fire, he did a lot of attacks on vendors.

Apart from this I also arrested a lot of enemy ninja who fled to Land of Fire, and What about some Missing-nin's in Konoha."

Orochimaru did go to great lengths to get the experimental material, after all he made a deal with Natsuhiko and Natsuhiko proved that he could indeed protect Orochimaru.

So Orochimaru really never did anything to the 'normal residents' of the Land of Fire, but whenever he did it was either a robber or an enemy ninja, or even the Missing-nin of Konoha.

It can be said that he helped Konoha a lot implicitly, but Natsuhiko couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard it. This guy was too embarrassed to ask himself a commission.

He completed the mission privately, so Konoha couldn't release the mission, without these missions ninja would have no money, and Konoha had no way to take a share.

It can be said that Orochimaru is stealing a sum of money from Konoha secretly. In Ninja World, there is no way out for you to be chivalrous, because Ninja Village also refers to those who gazed as mission. share.

"As for the breakthrough of the technique, it's also a gratifying result."

Orochimaru didn't bother about the mission either, he quickly took out a scroll, and when the scroll After opening, a pale Uchiha ninja appeared in front of Natsuhiko.

Then Orochimaru came to a Prison Sect, where he grabbed a delirious man who had been tortured by him.

Looking at the guy's outfit, Natsuhiko knew right away that the kid was probably a bandit or something.

And Orochimaru didn't hesitate, he quickly hand seal and then put one hand on the robber, and the other hand on the Uchiha who had been dead for some time.

instantly, Natsuhiko clearly felt the power of life in the flow.

The most important thing is that the life force of this flow is not Orochimaru's.
