Chapter 90: Konoha after the war
Early in the morning of the second day of Konoha Collapse Plan, Naruto took off the white robe he had been wearing and changed into a black suit and black pants. Walking out of the house, Naruto was followed by Xiang Pho, who was also dressed in black clothes and black pants at this time, and his eyes were full of sadness.
The sky was overcast, and there was a drizzle of rain, Naruto looked up at the sky, sighed deeply, with a thick sadness in his tone, and the originally lively and noisy Konoha Commercial Street was also depressed at this time, and the people were also wearing black clothes and black pants and quietly walked towards the burial place of the heroes of Konoha Village, the Heroic Monument, everyone's eyes were full of thoughts of relatives and friends, and the air was filled with sadness.
Naruto and Kao walked quietly in the crowd, and when they reached the center of the street, Naruto saw that all his companions were waiting for him and Kao, Naruto walked up to everyone and said, "Are all the people here?" ”
Sasuke and Ninji nodded, and Naruto didn't say anything, just said lightly, "Then let's go, it's time to go and comfort the heroes of Konoha this time." After saying that, Naruto took the lead towards the Valhalla Monument, and Sasuke, Ninji and the others didn't say anything, but followed Naruto with sadness and walked towards the Valhalla.
Today is a memorial service for the heroes who died on the battlefield, and the entire Konoha people have joined in on their own, because everyone knows that without these heroes who died for Konoha, they would not be able to live this peaceful life, nor would they be able to enjoy the joy of family with their relatives, friends and lovers.
When Naruto and his party came to the Valhalla Monument, all the leading teachers and all the shinobi had already arrived, and after Naruto led everyone to the Valhalla Monument to offer condolences to the flowers, he stood quietly aside, silently mourning.
At this time, the three generations, the two advisors, and the group also came to the Heroic Monument to offer flowers and mourned. Naruto looked at Danzo's fake appearance and wanted to go up and slaughter him, but Naruto also knew that he couldn't do this, so Naruto could only grit his teeth secretly.
Xiang Pho sensed Naruto's hatred and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you Naruto, why is your hatred so deep, did anyone make you angry?" ”
Naruto was taken aback when he heard Xiang Pho's words, and quickly suppressed the hatred and anger in his heart, and smiled at Xiang Pho, "It's nothing, it's just a little disgusting to see an annoying fly, you don't have to worry about my Xiang Pho, I'm fine." ”
After hearing Naruto's words, Kaori said with a little relief, "Is it really okay?" I just felt that your hatred was terrifying. And the hatred that only came after the worship of the three generations and several elders seems to be the hatred of the head of the group. ”
After Naruto heard Kazo's words, he was still worried when he saw her, so he could only say again: "I'm really fine, Kazo, you really don't have to worry about me, besides, although I'm dissatisfied with this old bastard Danzo, I won't do anything to him now, don't worry, I know the severity." ”
Hearing Naruto say this, Kaori completely relieved himself and said, "No matter what you want to do, I will support you, but I hope you don't be impulsive, because I don't want you to be hurt in any way." ”
Naruto was very moved when he heard Kao's words and said, "You can rest assured, for the sake of all of you, I won't be impulsive." Besides, this guy won't let me kill him regardless of him, I'm going to hand him over to Sasuke to deal with, if I slaughter this old thing, Sasuke will be unhappy, hehe. ”
At this time, the three generations who had been mourning suddenly spoke: "For Orochimaru's destruction plan against Konoha this time, I feel that I am no longer suitable to be the Hokage, so I am ready to give up the position of the Hokage to the young man to do it, and I and the two advisors have decided that the fifth Hokage will be succeeded by Senju Tsunade, one of the three ninjas, I think everyone has no opinion." ”
So when people suddenly heard that the third generation said that they were going to abdicate and make way for Xian, they were a little overwhelmed and began to get nervous, but when they heard that there would be Tsunade to succeed the fifth Hokage, everyone settled down, and if there was no objection to who would succeed the Hokage, it would be only Tsunade.
The reason is very simple, Tsunade saved too many people during the Second Ninja World War, almost all of them were saved by him, even the Uchiha family and the Hyuga family have been favored by Tsunade many times, and Tsunade is still the granddaughter of the first generation, the princess of Konoha, so there is almost no objection from Tsunade to succeed the Hokage.
Seeing that no one objected, the three generations smiled and said, "Since there is no objection, then I announce that Senju Tsunade will succeed the position of the fifth Hokage." ”
Although the group of shinobi did not object, some people were still worried: "Three generations of adults, you said that Tsunade-sama will succeed the position of the fifth Hokage, we will not object, and we are even looking forward to it, but now Tsunade-sama is not in the village, what should I do." ”
The third generation smiled: "Regarding the fact that Tsunade is not in the village, you don't have to worry, I have already made arrangements, and it shouldn't be long before Tsunade returns to the village, so you don't have to worry." ”
Everyone calmed down slightly when they heard the three generations say this, and they all started to discuss the matter of Tsunade succeeding the fifth Hokage. And Naruto thought to himself, "It seems that I am going to go out with the lustful fairy to find Tsunade, so it is good to learn from him on the road about the changes in chakra's attributes." ”
After leaving Valhalla, Naruto and all his friends went to the Q Kee Yakiniku restaurant for dinner, while in the Hokage's office, Jiraiya was discussing the task of finding Tsunade with Miyo and the two advisors.
I saw Jiraiya say to the third generation: "I can go to Tsunade, but I want Naruto Uzumaki to go with me, because recently I got information that "Akatsuki" is interested in Naruto's child, and I am afraid that they will be bad for Naruto, so I want to take Naruto with me." ”
The third generation said solemnly: "Jiraiya, is your information accurate?" Is the person of "Akatsuki" really going to do something to Naruto? ”
Jiraiya nodded and said: "There will be no mistake, I got the exact information, the people of "Xiao" have been secretly spying on the people of various ninja villages recently, I think Naruto should be within their range of spying, so I want to take Naruto with me, first, to protect him, and secondly, to teach Naruto well, although his strength is now very strong, but after all, the experience is still insufficient. ”
After thinking for a while, the three generations asked the two advisors, "Menyan, Xiaochun, what do you two think?" With Naruto by Jiraiya's side, I don't think it's going to be okay. ”
After the two discussed it for a while, Mito Menyan said: "Hizai, I discussed it with Koharu, and I felt that Naruto's presence by Jiraiya's side was of great help to his growth, and we were also relieved that Naruto was by Jiraiya's side." ”
After hearing the words of the two advisors, the third generation said to Jiraiya, "Jiraiya, we agreed to your request, so let Naruto go with you to Tsunade." ”
Jiraiya smiled: "Hehe, old man, thank you for your trust, then I'll go find Naruto's kid." With that, he left the Hokage's office in an instant.
After seeing Jiraiya leave, the three generations said: "Naruto is being targeted by the people of "Akatsuki", don't tell Danzo about this matter first, I'm afraid that he will do something out of the ordinary. ”
Mito Menyan looked at the three generations and said, "Are you worried too much, although Danzo is sometimes a little aggressive, but we all know his heart for Konoha." ”
Zhuan Xiaochun also said: "Yes, Ri Chop, will you be too suspicious, I don't think Tuan Zang is such a person." ”
The third generation sighed, "I also hope that I am suspicious, but did you see the roots of Danzang when Orochimaru invaded Konoha?" And why did Orochimaru enter Konoha so easily, have you ever thought about it, and the importance of Naruto, I think you all know, he is the future of Konoha and the hope of Konoha, I can't let Naruto have a little accident. ”
Zhuan Koharu and Mito Menyan thought about it for a while and nodded. Koharu said, "Hinata is a reasonable consideration, we can't let Naruto have even a little accident. ”
Mito Menyan sighed and said: "I also agree with you about the day of the killing, but I didn't expect that a few of us would have such a situation today, it is all because Tuan Zang is too obsessed with the position of the Hokage, if he is not too attached to the position of the Hokage, I don't think Tuan Zang will come to this point like today." The three generations remembered the former Tuanzang and looked lonely.
Zhuan Xiaochun said coldly: "This can't blame anyone, it's because Tuan Zang himself can't pass the level in his heart that he is like this, and he can only blame himself, blame himself for being too persistent, always can't let go of the position of Hokage, blame him for being too competitive, and everything has to be compared with the sun, and in the end he went astray." ”
The third generation also sighed: "I still did something wrong, I shouldn't have earned this position with Tuan Zang, otherwise he wouldn't be like this." ”
Mito Menyan said: "What are you talking about, your Hokage was personally appointed by the second generation of adults, and you have also been approved by us, although we are all very sad about the matter of the group, but it is definitely not your fault." ”
The third generation smiled: "Okay, I also know that I am not wrong, I am just a momentary emotion." Let's be prepared to wait for Tsunade to come back and tell her some things about the village, she has been away from the village for so many years, and many things will have to be refamiliarized. ”
After hearing what the three generations said, Koharu and Mito Menyan both nodded, and went out to prepare some confidential documents in the village and some interpersonal relationships in the village, so that Tsunade would be familiar with it when he returned. And the three generations looked at the entire Konoha from the glass window, and said in their mouths: "Although Tuanzang is very sorry for you, but all this is for the future of Konoha, you and I are already old, even if you don't admit it." ”
Naruto returned to Hinata's house with his friends after having dinner at the barbecue restaurant, and then returned home with fragrant phosphorus, and as soon as they opened it, they saw that Jiraiya was already in his house, Naruto looked at Jiraiya and said, "Lustful Immortal, although you are my master, do you think it is appropriate to enter the apprentice's house quietly like this?" ”
Jiraiya smiled: "Okay, don't care about these small sections." I'm here today to tell you that in two days I'm going to take you out of the village on a mission. ”
Although Naruto was able to guess what it was, he still asked, "What kind of mission, it actually asked one of the three ninja to be a lecherous immortal himself." ”
Jiraiya smiled: "Looking for Tsunade, who is one of the three ninjas like me, let him go back to the village to be the fifth Hokage, and if you want to find Tsunade back, only I, who is also one of the three ninjas, can find her in the shortest possible time." ”
Naruto replied, "Okay, I'll go with you, when will I leave?" ”
Jiraiya smiled evilly: "I have some things to deal with when I leave the morning after tomorrow, and you have to say goodbye to your Hinata and this little girl, hahaha." ”
Hearing Jiraiya's teasing, Naruto was nothing, after all, Naruto's skin was three points thicker than the city wall, but it was Naruto's back that was so red that he was so shy that he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Naruto didn't notice the change in Xiang Phosphorus's face behind him, but Jiraiya could see it clearly, and he was immediately angered by Naruto's incomprehension, and Jiraiya said to Naruto meaningfully: "Naruto, let the girl have no hope of waiting for the void, but it will be struck by lightning." ”
Naruto was a little confused by Jiraiya's unexplained remark and asked, "Lustful fairy, what do you mean by that, why can't I understand it?" ”
Jiraiya looked at Naruto's stupid appearance, and suddenly said helplessly: "Forget it, explain it to you stupid, you won't understand, or, later, you can find out for yourself." I'll leave first. With that, he turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared in front of Naruto and Kao.
Naruto turned to Kaori and said, "Kao, you know the matter, I think this mission should take a few days to complete, you just wait here for me to come back." ”
Xiang Phosphorus smiled: "It's okay Naruto, I'll take care of myself, besides, I've been studying the sealing technique recently, and I don't have time to go out with you, so you can go out and do the task with confidence, I'm okay It's Hinata, you have to go and say goodbye to her tomorrow." ”
Naruto heard Kao's words and replied, "Well, I see, I'm going to go to Hinata's house early tomorrow morning and be separated from Hinata, and casually with Uncle Hinata and Hanabido." And Sasuke, that guy has to go, too. ”
The next day, Naruto went to look for Sasuke early in the morning, and just when he saw that he was going out, Naruto stopped Sasuke and asked, "Sasuke, are you going there early in the morning?" ”
Sasuke wondered what was the matter with Naruto coming to him so early and asked, "Big fool, what's the matter with you coming so early, tell me." ”
Naruto smiled: "Well, that's the case, I'm going to go out with the lustful immortal to find the successor of the fifth Hokage, Tsunade Granny, and I want to say goodbye to you before leaving, and talk to you by the way." ”
Sasuke replied, "Oh, I see, you can go." ”
Naruto pretended to be sad and said, "Why are you so cold, Sasuke I'm going to go out of the village to do a mission, and I finally came to say goodbye to you, that's how you treat me, I'm so sad, you guy with no conscience." ”
Sasuke's face was suddenly full of black lines, and he said helplessly: "What the hell is the matter with you, if you don't say anything, I'll leave, I don't have time to watch you play treasure here." With that, Sasuke was ready to leave.
Naruto hurriedly stopped Sasuke and said, "Eh, don't go yet, Sasuke, I do have something I want to tell you." ”
Sasuke asked, "What the hell is going on, let's talk about it." ”
Naruto said with a serious face: "I got information, Brother Itachi may return to Konoha tomorrow, you can go to the Maruko shop tomorrow if you are fine, he may appear there." ”
Sasuke suddenly became calm when he heard Naruto's words, and said excitedly: "What did you say, you said that Itachi will return to Konoha tomorrow." Are you sure? ”
Naruto nodded and said, "Well, the chance that he will Konoha will be very high, he is now in an organization called "Akatsuki", the purpose of this organization is to collect tailed beasts, I guess the reason why the lustful fairy wants to take me with me, it may be that the people of "Akatsuki" may attack me, even if he doesn't do it, he may come to Konoha to collect information, and Itachi is a ninja of Konoha now, so it is most likely that he will come forward to collect information on the Konoha people's pillar force." ”
Sasuke calmed down after hearing Naruto's words and said, "In that case, Itachi's chances of returning to the village are indeed very high, but what are they going to collect tailed beasts for?" ”
Naruto said, "Remember when I told you about the stone tablet in your Uchiha family. ”
Sasuke nodded and said, "Well, I still remember this, you also said that the stone tablet was tampered with, and it is not credible, so tell me not to believe the things on the stone tablet." Could it be that the organization that Itachi belongs to has something to do with the things on that stone tablet? ”
Naruto nodded and said, "That's right, the organization of "Akatsuki" was created by the people of your Uchiha family, and I am not sure who is the initiator behind it yet, but I can be sure that this matter must be inseparable from the people of the Uchiha family." ”
Sasuke said, "Then Itachi's purpose in coming to Konoha this time is to arrest you, right?" ”
Naruto smiled, "I don't think so, anyway, I'm also the younger brother he admitted, he shouldn't have come to catch me, I think he's coming to see you." After all, you're his favorite brother, hehe. ”
Sasuke heard Naruto say that Itachi came to see him, and he was a little happy in his heart, but he said, "I don't want to see him, I don't want to pay attention to the guy who took everything on himself." ”
Naruto was speechless when he saw Sasuke's awkward expression: "Okay, okay, whatever you want, but what I want to tell you is that he is now a traitor and is still working undercover in "Akatsuki", so even if you see him, you can't show that you are happy, but like seeing an enemy, and I believe that Brother Itachi will not give you a good face to see, you have to be mentally prepared for this." ”
Sasuke replied, "I know that, don't worry, I won't be impulsive, I just want to make sure he's okay, I think he thinks the same way." ”
Naruto smiled, "It's good that you know, I'm just reminding you, I don't want to say anything, so I'll go find Hinata first." ”
Sasuke nodded and said, "Well, you go." ”
After saying goodbye to Sasuke, Naruto walked towards Hinata's house with a smile on his face.
