The news of Jiraiya's death spread quickly, and in less than three days, the entire ninja world knew the news.

The death of any shadow-level is a big deal, and no ninja village is so strong that even the shadow-level is dispensable.

Along with the news of Jiraiya's death in battle, there is a lot of information that spreads throughout the ninja world.

For example, the alliance between Iwa Shinobi and Yun Ninja, such as Onoki's dusty power, but what shocked everyone in the ninja world the most was: Yichen. This guy who was rumored to be the fox of the rock ninja by the melon-eating crowd who had watched the excitement before, actually has the strength of the shadow level.

Everyone doesn't understand, can this kind of person who plays intrigue and trickery also become a shadow?

If you think about it, it's really possible, just look at Konoha's Danzo.

Thanks to Tuan Zang, everyone accepted the fact that Yichen became a shadow-level, and everyone had no intention of changing Yichen's title, which directly shattered Yichen's slightest expectation.

Speaking of Tuanzang, the current Tuanzang can be said to be both excited and angry.

The excitement is because: Sanshinobi lost two people in succession, and only one Tsunade who suffered from hemophobia remained. It can be said that the power of the old rival and good friend Ape Fei Ri has gone most of it at once. This is a good time for him to attack the position of Hokage.

But Danzou was also angry, because now the ninja world knew that Konoha had fallen into a period of weakness again. Konoha's last period of weakness was when the second Hokage died in battle, but the countries at that time were also weak, so Sarutobi managed to maintain the situation.

Later, the White Fang rose, the three ninjas were born, and Konoha suddenly entered its heyday, and the process was so fast that the high-level leaders of various countries did not react.

Remember the URL

But this time, everyone in the ninja world knew that it would be difficult for Konoha to have this kind of opportunity again. First of all, as an opponent, the number of shadow levels of the four major powers is no longer as small as when the second generation Hokage died in battle. Well, except for the fog ninja.

Now the children of the ninja world know that the fourth ninja war is about to break out.

Danzo very much wanted to seize power at this time, but he also knew that if he wanted to provoke an internal strife at such a time, he would definitely be targeted by everyone in the village. Maybe only the Uchiha wouldn't target themselves for this.

Although Tuan Zang's political skills are not as good as those of Ape Fei Ri, he is not stupid, and if he makes trouble at this time, he will only become the target of public criticism. So this time, after weighing it for a long time, Tuan Zang chose to lie dormant again.

Ape Fei Ri is not afraid of the group hiding out to make trouble, he knows the pound and two pounds of this good friend, if he is soft, he will be hard, and if he is hard, he will be soft. If he dares to make trouble, he will use the authority of the Hokage to forcibly suppress it, and he will not make any big noise.

But compared to Tuanzang, other things made Sarutobi a headache.

First of all, the high-end combat power of the village, when the news of Jiraiya's death came back, Ape Fei Ri Slash didn't even care about grief, and sent someone to find Bo Feng Shuimen at the first time, he summoned Bo Feng Shuimen not in the hope that Bo Feng Shuimen could stop the upcoming four battles by himself.

Ape Fei Sun Slash wanted to ask about the situation of Vortex Jiu Sinai, at this time, the only thing that could bring a trace of confidence to Ape Fei Sun Slash was the Nine-Tails Human Pillar Force who had just grown into adulthood.

At this time, he had already made a decision, and in this battle, whether it was the Nine-Tails Pillar Force or himself, he would participate in the battle. Otherwise, Konoha's top combat power may not be able to support the shelves of the three wars.

In addition to high-end combat power, there is one more thing that makes Sarutobi even more troublesome, and that is the Uchiha. Let's not mention the historical entanglement between the two sides, let's talk about the last time Yichen made a big fuss about Konoha and kidnapped an Uchiha child.

At that time, Fugaku found out that the village had arranged to spy on their Uchiha's shadows. It's hard to explain this matter in the first place, but at that time, Fuyue even let go of the person who robbed their Uchiha bloodline, and afterwards the intelligence department guessed that that person should be Yichen.

Sarutobi had reason to suspect that Fugaku had deliberately left a way out for the Uchiha. There is a high probability that this retreat is obviously Iwa Shinobi.

What's more, among the people who besieged and killed Zilaiye this time, there is this Yichen, so I can't help but think about it too much. Will this Yichen reach any agreement with the Uchiha clan, and this time Jiraiya, is there a figure of the Uchiha clan in it.

In addition to the Uchiha clan, the situation on the Hyuga clan's side is not very good, and the Hyuga clan has complaints about the sacrifice of their former patriarch. Especially Hinata Hinata, after he became the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, he had much less contact with the Konoha higher-ups than when his father was there.

There are also a lot fewer members of the Hyuga clan who have joined the Konoha regular ninja squad to carry out missions.

And what made Ape Feiri most uncomfortable was that the ninjas who originally supported him had not been as firm in their attitude towards him in the past two years as before.

The reason for this is that Ape Fei Ri is clear, it is precisely because when the roots of Tuan Zang recruited people before, they put their hands into these families, and Tuan Zang chose the elite children of these families, and they are the kind of geniuses who have the hope of becoming the patriarch of the family.

After thinking for a long time, Sarutobi said to the captain of his shadow guard: "Go to the land of Yu, find the traces of Tsunade, and bring Tsunade back." ”

Sarutobi didn't know Tsunade's whereabouts, but he knew that Jiraiya died in battle, and Tsunade would definitely go to Yunokuni to see it.

The captain of the Shadow Guard replied yes and was about to leave, but he heard Sarutobi say, "Also contact Orochimaru to see what he means." ”

Orochimaru is a defector, thanks to Tuanzang, Orochimaru's crime is very big and solid, and it is impossible to return to the village. But after all, Jiraiya died in front of Orochimaru, to say that Orochimaru didn't have some mood swings, Ape Fei Ri Slash didn't believe it.

He hoped to be able to convince Orochimaru that in the upcoming four battles, Orochimaru would be able to hold off one or two of the shadow levels of Cloud Ninja Village or Iwa Ninja Village.

The Captain of the Shadow Guard should be again and leave immediately.

It didn't take long for Bo Feng Shui Gate to come.

Bo Feng Shuimen's eyes were red, and he was obviously not in a good mood, but as a little sun, he still said to Ape Fei Sun first: "Hokage-sama, please mourn." ”

Ape Fei Ri looked at Bo Feng Shuimen, and finally had a smile on his face, at least the will of fire has not been broken, and the inheritance of the will of fire will continue on the child in front of him.

"How's Kushinai doing? How much power can he wield? Ape Fei Ri asked.

Bo Feng Shuimen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the first sentence of the ape flying day slash to be this, but he reacted quickly, and immediately knew the meaning of the ape flying sun slash, and said: "Hokage-sama, please rest assured, Jiu Sinai has grown up very well, if the power of the nine tails bursts out with all his strength, even if I don't use the flying thunder god, there is no way to take her." ”

Sarutobi nodded, suddenly looked at Bo Feng Shuimen and said, "Shuimen, what do you think of the Uchiha clan?" ”

Bo Feng Shuimen was stunned again, every question of the ape flying day today was beyond his expectations, and the rhythm changed too fast. But after a little hesitation, Bo Feng Shuimen still said what he thought in his heart: "There are radicals in the Uchiha clan, but there are also moderates. The Uchiha clan is dissatisfied with the village, but the village also has injustice towards the Uchiha clan. ”

After saying this, Bo Feng Shuimen lowered his head.

A hint of disapproval flashed in Sarutobi's eyes, but there was no way, the current situation was very different from before, and he and Danzang could no longer suppress the opposition within the Uchiha. And on the eve of this war, it is impossible for the village to take the wrong medicine to use force against the Uchiha clan.

So after being silent for a long time, Sarutobi said, "Mizumon, maybe you're right, from tomorrow onwards, you will be the fourth Hokage of the village. ”

This time, Bo Feng Shuimen was really stunned, he didn't understand why Ape Fei Ri Slash's thoughts jumped so much.

Raising his head, he was about to open his mouth to refuse, but Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "I'm not qualified as a Hokage, and I haven't dealt with the problem well, whether it's external or internal. Iwa Shinobi is responsible for sitting big, and Uchiha is also responsible for centrifugation. ”

"After the war starts, I will go to the front line as soon as possible, even if I fight for my life, I will win the war. The village will be handed over to you, carefully coordinate the relationship between the village leaders and the Uchiha, and I will take it away, so I won't cause you trouble. ”

There is no way to do it, he doesn't want to and can't compromise with the Uchiha clan, so he can only pin his hopes for easing relations with the Uchiha clan on Bo Feng Shuimen.

Bo Feng Shuimen took a deep breath, and after a while, knelt down on one knee and said, "Yes, Hokage-sama." ”

Sarutobi nodded with satisfaction, Bo Feng Shuimen had the courage to stand up in times of crisis, which further showed that he would be a good Hokage, and his choice this time was not wrong.

In the end, Ape Fei Ri Slash asked another question: "How much do you know about immortal arts in the water gate." ”

Senjutsu is mysterious to the ninja world, even to the four major ninja villages except Konoha is mysterious, but it can't be mysterious to the Hokage. Ape Fei Ri Slash has seen a detailed description from the documents left between the Thousand Hands.

Ape Fei Ri asked this question because he wanted to know how Yichen learned the immortal arts. Is Yichen an immortal art that he learned from the three holy places, and is it true that in addition to the three holy places, there are also immortal arts inheritances in other places.

In fact, the most hopeful explanation for Ape Fei Ri Slash now is: Yichen's learning of immortal arts is an accident and a gift. If Iwa Shinobi mastered the complete immortal art inheritance, it would be a disaster for Konoha.

Bo Feng Shuimen said: "I have already confirmed with the Miaomu Mountain side that there is no known immortal inheritance in the ninja world except for the three holy places. The immortals of Fukasaku also did not know the way for Yichen to learn immortal arts. ”

Ape Fei Ri didn't get an answer, a little disappointed, but he didn't dig deeper, just nodded slightly.

On the same day, Konoha convened an emergency high-level meeting, and the meeting passed the decision of three generations of apes to abdicate and four generations of waves to take the throne with the support of three people and one person against.

The person who opposed it was naturally Tuan Zang, but this time Sarutobi was surprisingly tough and decisive, and Tuan Zang finally relented.

The next day, the fourth generation of Hokage Bo Feng Shui Gate officially succeeded to the throne on the rooftop of the Hokage Building. This time, the rise of the Bo Feng Shui Gate was very hasty, and he didn't even have time to inform the Daimyo of the Fire Country.

The corresponding procedure, the day after Bo Feng Shuimen ascended to the throne, Sarutobi Hizashi and Shimura Danzou went to the Fire Country to supplement the Daimyo.

Wherever the ape flies, he takes Tuan Zang with him, and he is naturally afraid that this good friend will make a mix to the waves.

The ascension of the Bo Feng Shui Gate is indeed a shot in the arm for Konoha , and the decay of the three generations has long made the major families and some civilian elites dissatisfied. Whether it is strength, military exploits, or affinity, all parties in the village are satisfied.

The most important thing is that everyone knows that Bo Feng Shuimen and the Uchiha clan are friendly, and in this kind of stormy moment, Bo Feng Shuimen can undoubtedly unite the various factions within it better than Sarutobi Sun Slash.

As a matter of fact, each family is actively cooperating with some of the policies of this young man who will be in charge of Konoha for decades to come. Including various preparations for war.

Also preparing are the other four great powers, as well as the village of Kawanobi in the country of rivers.

The location of River Ninja Village is really not very good, it is between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, and it is an ally of the Land of Wind on the bright side, so it is easy to be targeted by Konoha. And the sand ninja is actually more wary of the river ninja than close.

If it weren't for the fact that the four generations of Kazekage knew that Kawashinobi had two shadow levels, and tried their best to restrain their subordinates not to clash with Kawashinobi, Kawashinobi would have already had friction with Sand Shinobi.

After all, since the alliance between the two countries, there have been too many contacts of all kinds. And the sand ninja looks down on the river ninja, but the river ninja relies on the strength of his own leader and has always been with the sand ninja as an ally, and he doesn't want to be low to the sand ninja. So the lower level of the two sides is very stiff.

But the biggest problem in the Kawashinobi Village right now is not the question of preparing for war, nor the relationship with the Sand Shinobi as an ally, but the quarrel between the three high-ranking people.

The content of Yahiko's quarrel is naturally about Jiraiya's death. Jilai is also the mentor of the three of them, and they have accompanied them through the weakest period, so after Jiraiya died in battle, the three of them have been arguing about whether to avenge Zilai.

Nagato and Konan want revenge, but Yahiko feels that if he is blinded by hatred like everyone else, then how can he end the war.

If the two parties do not agree on the same page, it is natural that there will be quarrels.

But the most contradictory thing for several people is Yichen. Yichen played a great role in this incident of death and death.

And this time, with the spread of the Jiraiya death incident, the most talked about is Yichen, the new shadow level, so it feels like Yichen is the main force that kills Jiraiya.

So the three of them had different opinions again.

This time, Nagato thinks that Yichen is the murderer of Jiraiya, and Xiao Nan and Yahiko feel that Yichen also has a hard time. Because the intelligence shows that Yichen is traveling with the third generation of Tsuchikage Onoki, and with his immediate boss, Yichen may just be on a mission.
