Konoha Village.

Next to the Hokage’s office, in the high-rise conference room, four of Konoha’s top executives and a group of jounin gathered here

“Iwagakure Village wants a truce! But you must agree to our conditions!”

“that is! We paid such a huge price, can we let them go so easily?!”

“If the fight continues, the village will no longer be able to support it!”

“Don’t beat Iwakaku so hard now! Sooner or later there will be four more battles!”

“I support fighting again!”

“We must defeat Iwagakure!”

“If Iwagakure doesn’t pay compensation, then fight!”

Everyone was talking a lot, and the main war faction was fierce.

The third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face was as dark as water, and he fell into silence.

Danzo on the side laughed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm.

Ever since Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato repelled the Iwagakure army on the frontal battlefield on the northwest front, Namikaze Minato’s squad After successfully blowing up the Kannabi Bridge, the Iwagakure army suffered heavy losses, and finally withdrew from the Country of Grass and returned to the Country of Earth.

After that, they faced the armistice agreement that Konoha took the initiative to hand over. , Iwagakure’s third-generation Tsuchikage Onoki expressed his agreement to a truce, but Iwagakure would not pay compensation to Konoha as the defeated party.

In this regard, some ninja clan who suffered heavy losses in the war expressed strong opinions dissatisfied, many Jonin do not agree with Iwagakure’s conditions.

If it is in the early and middle stages of the war, as long as Iwagakure is willing to cease the war, then the vast majority of people will definitely be willing to cease the war, even if it requires It’s okay to provide some benefits.

After all, in the early and middle stages of the Third War, Konoha was surrounded by enemies on all sides. Facing the siege of the four major ninja villages, its combat power was stretched thin. If it weren’t for Kushina and Shiroha, After the Third Raikage retired, I don’t know how long this war will last.

But since Kumogakure withdrew and Orochimaru defeated Sunagakure and regained Kikyō Castle, the situation reversed instantly.

Konoha is now fully capable of freeing up its hands to deal with Iwagakure with all its strength.

It is true that some conservatives are right, Konoha suffered losses in this war It was tragic, and the continuation of the war also delayed the time for recovery.

But for the main war faction, they have lost so many companions and tribesmen. If they cannot get some compensation, then their tribesmen Isn’t it a waste of time!

Cultivating ninjas requires resources and money!

Is it possible to generate electricity for love?

Mu Ye suffered heavy losses, and the losses of other villages were also considerable. Now if Konoha is determined to continue fighting with Iwagakure, Iwagakure will definitely not be his opponent. If he fights against a village alone, no Ninja village will be Konoha’s opponent. < /span>

After all, the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan on the eastern front have joined forces to repel the Kirigakure village. It is only a matter of time before Kirigakure is completely defeated

“I can understand everyone’s thoughts, but the village really can’t continue fighting, so we can only accept Iwagakure’s conditions.”Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at everyone in the field with an apologetic expression. It was too risky to fight again, so he chose the safest path.

“If we don’t continue to consume Iwagakure’s troops now, they will come back sooner or later. In all the great ninja wars, Sunagakure and Iwagakure have taken the lead. Some time ago, Sunagakure Village proposed to form an alliance with the village. Sandai, you agreed not to pay compensation. That is because Sunagakure Village is too poor and cannot afford the money. However, Iwagakure will definitely be able to provide the compensation we require, so we will cease the war. , I absolutely agree!”

The elder of the original Senju clan said in a deep voice. He was very indignant at the behavior of Hiruzen Sarutobi. In this war, nearly half of the ninjas of the original Senju clan were killed or injured. In addition, they volunteered The ninjas who participated in the wood escape experiment almost lost all the elites of the original Senju clan.

If it weren’t for the awakening of the power of wood escape after the broken limb of the rope tree, the Senju clan would have existed in name only< /span>

“If we have to fight again, I am willing to be the first to go on the battlefield!”Naoki said, since he awakened the power of Wood Release, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and is close to the shadow level.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly, not knowing what to do. a> It’s time to end the war! The dead family members, friends, and companions cannot be compensated by a little money, and if the war continues, there will be more sacrifices. Even excluding the profit aspect, this battle has exhausted them. Even the Jonin can survive It takes a certain amount of luck to get down. They really don’t want to fight with the enemy anymore. After all, even if he received war compensation , it was also the family that got the lion’s share, and they made less profit. What Namikaze Minato said was very reasonable and pertinent, and many jounin with grassroots background agreed. Giving up the compensation is really a helpless move!” In this war, we have lost too many companions and sacrificed too many ninjas. The war has had a great impact on the village’s economy. Ending the war as soon as possible will also restore peace early and allow the village to recover as soon as possible. If we are frustrated in the Kingdom of Earth, it is very likely that we will not be able to maintain the current results. Once engaged in a protracted war, logistical support is a huge problem. The terrain there is rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Fighting in a remote place, and the opponent has geographical advantages, our ninjas cannot take advantage.

At this time, Namikaze Minato on the side said:”Everyone, the Third Generation also has his own difficulties. If he continues to fight Iwagakure, he will lead his army into the soil country.

“To put it lightly, without war reparations, wouldn’t our people’s death have been in vain?!”

As soon as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, someone retorted.

The seats where the buttocks were sitting were different. No matter how reasonable Minato Namikaze was, they still couldn’t. I can’t agree.

Namikaze Minato was about to argue again. The leader, Sarutobi Hiruzen, looked pleased and waved his hand towards him, signaling him to stop talking

“Even if there is no need for war reparations, Iwagakure Village will not thank Konoha. That old fox Onoki will still attack Konoha as long as there is a chance. Danzo, who had been silent all this time, said calmly.

At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and said with a guilty look on his face:”Everyone, as the Third Hokage, I will do my best for this time.” events, as well as taking responsibility for wrong decisions in the war”

“How are you responsible?” Danzo asked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked directly at Danzo and said:”I will resign as the Third Hokage!”

“What?!”

“Third generation sir, you are no better than this!”

“Three generations, things have not reached this point yet, everyone will make mistakes.”

When they heard that Sarutobi Hiruzen was resigning as Hokage, many jounin panicked. After all, in his more than 20 years in office, not to mention how many achievements he had made, at least He is conscientious and has implemented many policies that have given civilians a path to promotion. Many small and medium-sized families, as well as ninjas from civilian backgrounds, support him.

Unfortunately, because of the Sakumo incident, many The jounin was heartbroken, and the village did not retain strong men like Kushina and Shiroha, which caused a great loss in Sarutobi Hiruzen’s reputation.

Some of the command errors in this war were actually It’s not a big problem, the most important thing is to win the war.

On the Western Front, Orochimaru used dozens of Jonin as bait in order to regain Platycodon City with less victory and more, resulting in heavy casualties. But most ninjas can understand Orochimaru, because even if he goes to die, Orochimaru is facing many powerful enemies on other fronts and rushing to the front of the battlefield.

Sarutobi Hi A series of problems that have broken out in the past few years have caused his support among jounin to drop a lot.

Of course, his support among the villagers is still very high, because many The policy has brought tangible benefits to the people at the lowest level

“No need to persuade anyone. I will go to see the Daimyo in the near future and mention this matter to him. In addition, you can nominate the candidate for the fourth Hokage. The person who is recognized by everyone will succeed the fourth generation.”Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.

Danzo narrowed his eyes. He did not expect Hiruzen to resign from the third generation position so decisively. Originally, he thought that Hiruzen would definitely occupy this position. Sit for a few more years.

If Hiruzen abdicates, Orochimaru will definitely be the most promising candidate to become Hokage.

Inciting the ninja clan to attack Hiruzen today is The result of Danzo’s recent many efforts. After all, in this war, many ninjas hope to receive war compensation after victory.

Danzo is afraid that Hiruzen Sarutobi will use it for various reasons after the war. Delaying the election of the fourth generation, I wanted to take this opportunity to remove him from the position of Hokage as soon as possible.

Facts have proved that Danzo’s calculation was not wrong……

The fact that Sarutobi Hiruzen is about to abdicate has caused a sensation in Konoha.

Even the daimyo has repeatedly advised him to continue serving as Hokage. After all, for the daimyo, it is enough as long as Konoha is stable and can continue to win in the war.

Not to mention how powerful and accomplished Sarutobi Hiruzen was, at least three of the ninja wars were won on his watch.

What the daimyo wants is results.

At the beginning, his favorite successor as the Fourth Hokage, Hatake Sakumo, had committed suicide. There was not much difference among the others who became Hokage.

The most popular person in Konoha to succeed the Fourth Hokage is Orochimaru. Because Jiraiya has publicly stated many times that he will not compete for the position of the Fourth Hokage, a considerable number of Jonin who support him have chosen Support his disciple Minato Namikaze.

With his stunning performance in the Third Ninja War, Namikaze Minato’s reputation has caught up with the three. The top management of Iwagakure Village announced that”you can give up the mission without being punished when encountering a golden flash” The order was enough to show recognition of his strength.

However, what surprised everyone was that the one whose support rate was similar to that of Namikaze Minato was not Tsunade, but the leader of the Roots, Shimura Danzo.

Danzo has assisted the Third Generation since the First Ninja War, and was active in both the Second World War and the Third War.

If it were not for his ruthless acting style, perhaps his approval rating would not be lower than Orochimaru.

At this time, in the root headquarters, Orochimaru and Danzo were talking in the bottom room

“Danzo, why are the experimental subjects you promised to give me missing?”

Orochimaru asked with a gloomy expression.

His experiment reached a critical moment, but the number of test subjects was not enough, which made him very irritated. < /span>

Not only is the Curse Seal experiment stagnant, the Wood Escape experiment is progressing very slowly, and now even his most important reincarnation forbidden technique is in a bottleneck

“Don’t you care at all about the position of the Fourth Hokage?” Danzo’s face darkened, and he was a little dissatisfied with Orochimaru’s attitude.

Orochimaru said:”Don’t you still understand? No matter how many candidates there are for the Fourth Hokage, the old man’s support is the key.”

This is Orochimaru’s self-confidence. He believes that with so many years of master-disciple relationship and mutual understanding, the third generation will definitely choose him, although the current Orochimaru does not have much regard for the fourth generation Hokage. Interested, but if the third generation chooses him to become the fourth generation, he will still be a good Hokage, train a suitable successor as soon as possible, inherit his position, and then continue to experiment.

At present, , Orochimaru’s favorite person is Naoki. After he awakened Wood Release, he has become one of the few strong men in Konoha

“That Namikaze Minato is a big threat. Based on his performance in the third battle, he will be your strong enemy. Aren’t you afraid that the third generation will turn to support him?”

Danzo continued.

Orochimaru smiled faintly. Maybe after Minato Namikaze learned the Flying Thunder God, his strength has surpassed him, but after Naruto In the fight for the position, he didn’t take a junior like Namikaze Minato to heart at all.

Seeing Orochimaru’s confident expression, Danzo didn’t feel much joy in his heart. Thinking of this, Danzo felt a little unable to hold himself back He and the Third Generation have supported each other for decades. Will the Third Generation really support a Nam Feng Shui Gate and give up on him? As long as there is no Orochimaru blocking his way, he has greater confidence in becoming the Fourth Hokage. After all, a Bo with a weak foundation Feng Shui Gate, why should you compete with him. But at this moment, Danzo feels He is already the closest to becoming the Hokage in his life.

It is true that after Orochimaru takes over, according to their previous interests, Danzo will have greater power and a higher status.

“I will prepare the experimental subjects as soon as possible. After all, you know that the war is coming to an end and it will be much harder to catch spies than before.”

“Um.”Orochimaru nodded, turned around, and prepared to leave.

“How far have you progressed in your research on wood escape cells? Danzo asked. He never expected that Naoki would also awaken the Wood Release, and it was even more powerful than the ‘A’ he had carefully cultivated. Although there was an age difference, and Naoki was the first generation Sun Tzu’s reasons, but there must also be reasons why Orochimaru’s wood escape experiment is not as complete as Iori Shiroha’s

“I do not have the energy to continue these experiments at this time.”Orochimaru frowned slightly. Naoki is his disciple. He has also extracted cells from Naoki’s legs for research. Facts have proved that Bai Yu’s technology in regenerating severed limbs has far surpassed his teacher, so Orochimaru Maru has now focused his energy on other aspects.

Danzo looked at Orochimaru’s leaving back, his face gradually darkened:”As a teacher, he is not even as good as a disciple!”

Since the wood escape experiment, Orochimaru has given him less and less results. At the high-level meeting, he boasted about completing the forbidden art of reincarnation in Haikou, but because Orochimaru did not Not paying attention to this aspect, resulting in slow progress of the experiment

“Come here!”

Danzo said solemnly to the empty room.

Brush!

Three root ninjas performed teleportation Shu appeared in the room and knelt on one knee

“Catch some civilian-born ninjas in the village and send them to Orochimaru, and also find some orphans around the village.”

Danzo said with an indifferent expression

“What? Capture the village ninja?”Even the ninjas who had undergone basic brainwashing training were surprised.

“how? Do you dare to disobey my order?!”Danzo narrowed his eyes.

“Yes!”

The three ANBU took the order and left the root headquarters

“It seems that we have to find a way to improve the confidentiality level inside the root. Danzo secretly thought to himself that all the members of the Roots had received brutal training, but there were always exceptions. The first one was Yakushi Nonou. Brainwashing training alone was not enough. He had to find a way to develop a technique, so that Greater confidentiality

“Orochimaru, this time, please make way for me.”

Danzo thought secretly
