Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 616 Reaping Rewards
[Name: Uchiha Shisui]

[Life Mission: Uchiha and Konoha]

[Main goal: eliminate the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha and allow Uchiha to integrate into Konoha]

[Task progress: 46.8%]

The death of Danzo Shimura directly made Shisui's life mission progress the highest among all disciples. Not only did he reach a settlement node, but he was not far from the next settlement.

However, when Mu Yue thought about what Shimura Danzo did in the original work, she felt it was very reasonable.

Even before his death, Danzo Shimura had to warn him to be careful with the Uchiha, reminding him that the Uchiha were inherently evil, which shows his attitude towards the Uchiha.

Mu Yue looked at the settlement reward that popped up.

[Disciple Uchiha Shisui's strength has been improved, and he has promoted the reform of the police force. He has taken a small step towards eliminating the contradictions between Uchiha and Konoha, and has obtained progress rewards - Chakra +1600, optional extraction of scroll fragments·S+ (Mastery level), Yin attribute ninjutsu mastery scroll]

The rewards are almost the same as those for other disciples when the 40% is settled. Except for the different attributes of the Ninjutsu Mastery Scroll, other rewards are exactly the same.

But the embarrassing thing is that last time three disciples just happened to collect the three fragments, but this time only Shisui is left to settle the account, so the fragments are temporarily useless.

Mu Yue closed the reward information and clicked on Obito's life mission.

[Name: Uchiha Obito]

[Mission in life: It is not the person who becomes Hokage who can be recognized by everyone, but the person who is recognized by everyone who can become Hokage]

[Main goal: Become the Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village]

[Task progress: 44.5%]

Obito's life mission progress is not as exaggerated as Shisui's, but it is still okay. After all, the life mission is difficult, and it is not easy to increase the progress.

……

After receiving the notification from Nagato, Yahiko hurriedly arrived at the Rain Village.

"Did something happen? Why did you suddenly call me over?" Yahiko was a little confused.

As the matter was rather complicated, Nagato did not explain the reason when he contacted the Ninja Clan, but simply asked Yahiko to come as soon as possible.

But looking at the peaceful Rain Village, Yahiko felt that it should not be a big deal.

Upon learning that Yahiko had arrived, Nagato activated his perception and quickly found Yahiko.

"Nagato, where is Sensei Sosuke? Why did you suddenly ask me to come here?" Yahiko asked when he saw that Nagato was the only one there.

"Teacher is dealing with the affairs of Rain Village." Nagato replied.

Yahiko looked at Nagato in some confusion. Wasn't he invited to watch the Chunin Exam? Why was he also helping to deal with the affairs of the Rain Village? Wasn't the Rain Village so busy that even they couldn't handle it themselves?

Nagato didn't waste any words. He took Yahiko to a deserted place and explained: "Hanzo is dead. Now Sosuke-sensei is the real leader of the Rain Village."

Yahiko was stunned and looked at Nagato with a confused face.

How come things are getting more and more outrageous? Nagato and Sosuke have only been on the move for a short time and they have already taken over the entire Rain Village.

Moreover, he didn't think that the Rain Village seemed to have experienced a coup d'etat and looked quite peaceful.

"In fact, this invitation is a conspiracy, a conspiracy of Danzo Shimura..." Nagato began to explain the whole story to Yahiko in detail.

"I see. No wonder Sosuke-sensei only brought you with him." Yahiko sighed.

In this dangerous situation, not only would you not be able to help Sosuke if you don't have enough strength, you would also become a burden to him.

"Yahiko, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have advised you that night and made you miss the last chance to meet Hanzo." Nagato said with a guilty look on his face.

They estimated that this trip to the Rain Village would be risky, but in fact Mu Yue easily dealt with the enemy.

If we bring one more Yahiko, there is no need for Mu Yue to take action, Nagato can protect Yahiko by himself.

"It's okay. After all, you are thinking about my safety. There is no need to apologize." Yahiko said with a smile and shook his head.

"Besides, now I have the answer in my heart."

It was a pity that he was unable to communicate with Hanzo, but after learning the reason for Hanzo's death and Sosuke becoming the leader of the Rain Ninja, Yahiko's previous doubts were resolved.

"At least, at the last moment, he was truly the demigod Hanzo of the Rain Country." Yahiko showed a relieved expression.

Hanzo is not a person who always puts the peace of the Rain Country first. He has been shaken and had selfish motives.

However, the choices made by Hanzo in his life made Yahiko feel that he was worthy of the title of demigod, and his previous admiration for Hanzo was not misplaced.

Nagato showed an expression of approval. This time, his opinion of Hanzo had indeed changed a lot.

Then Nagato took Yahiko to see Hanzo's portrait.

Yahiko felt that Hanzo did not seem to have died in battle, but rather died of old age.

Because Hanzo's expression didn't show any resentment or hatred, but instead looked somewhat relaxed and happy?
After learning that the Ninja Clan and the Rain Village wanted to deepen their exchanges, Yahiko decisively signed up with Sosuke.

Now that peace has been restored in the Land of Rain, the next focus is to strengthen its strength. He wants to let more Rain Ninjas understand the true Ninja Sect by working in the Rain Village.

……

The land of fire, Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was processing documents when he suddenly felt a dry mouth.

He continued to stare at the document, put down the pen with his right hand, and reached for the teacup on the office.

Wow!

I don't know what happened, but Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't hold the teacup firmly, and it fell to the ground and broke, and the tea spilled all over the floor.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the documents, took a deep breath, and touched his heart.

"I haven't been working too hard recently, so why did this happen suddenly?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked puzzled. Just a moment ago, he felt a palpitation in his heart.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and asked the Anbu at the door to come in to clean up the debris and mop the floor.

Losing a teacup was a small matter for Sarutobi Hiruzen, and it was not a precious antique.

The real reason that made Sarutobi Hiruzen unhappy was that he suddenly realized that he was no longer young and could not even hold a teacup steadily.

Back in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window that gave him a panoramic view of Konoha and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Every one of them is so worrying. How can I really have peace of mind in my old age?"

From the time he was appointed as the Hokage in a critical moment to now, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been a little tired.

If there is a suitable candidate, once the ninja world becomes more stable, Sarutobi Hiruzen will pass on the position of Hokage without hesitation.

He has been at the top for long enough and does not have much attachment to this power.

Compared to working hard for Konoha all day, Sarutobi Hiruzen yearns for a life of retirement at home, fishing when he has time, and helping to educate his grandson. Maybe he can have a second spring in his education career and raise his grandson to be an excellent ninja like Mu Yue.

The next night.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard someone calling his name, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar to him.

"Get up quickly, old man. Teacher Mu Yue is calling you." Asuma said as he pushed open Sarutobi Hiruzen's door.

He also heard the voice outside the house and instantly recognized that it was Mu Yue.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly dressed and walked out of the bedroom. It must be no small matter that Mu Yue suddenly came to see him at this time.

Asuma wanted to follow, but was ruthlessly chased back by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Go to bed!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously.

If he didn't think Mu Yue had something urgent to do, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have scolded Asuma for his disrespectful attitude just now.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go." Asuma said unhappily and turned back to his bedroom.

It’s not that he was afraid of Sarutobi Hiruzen, but because Mu Yue didn’t call him. If Mu Yue called his name, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not listen even if he stopped her.

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out of the house quickly and saw Mu Yue with a sad look on his face in the yard.

Seeing Mu Yue's expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong.

In his impression, Mu Yue has always been an optimistic and strong person. It is definitely not a trivial matter to make Mu Yue show such an expression.

"Mu Yue, are you okay?" Sarutobi Hiruzen first asked about Mu Yue's condition, and then continued:
"Something happened. It's okay to take some more time off from the Observation Haki course. There's no rush."

Sarutobi Hiruzen attaches great importance to the training of Observation Haki, but compared to Mu Yue herself, a training program is obviously insignificant.

"Thank you for your concern, Sandaime-sama. I'm fine." Mu Yue shook her head and replied, her eyes reddened. "It was Danzo-sama. He, he...sacrificed..."

After saying that, Mu Yue lowered her head slightly, her face full of pain.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Mu Yue in disbelief, his oppressive eyes fixed on Mu Yue, "You said Danzo was sacrificed?"

They were drinking and chatting a few days ago, and then suddenly he was told that Danzo Shimura was dead. How could Sarutobi Hiruzen believe it?

If it was a battlefield, it would be normal for the friend who drank and ate meat with him yesterday to die today, but he did not send Danzo Shimura to the battlefield.

In Konoha, who has the ability to kill a Konoha high-ranking official silently.

Mu Yue nodded silently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's body trembled slightly and he took a step back.

In fact, when Mu Yue first said that Danzo Shimura was dead, Sarutobi Hiruzen already believed it rationally.

Because the person who said it was Mu Yue, who was a representative of Konoha's young ninjas and had once been a member of the Root. He had no reason to lie about such news.

But this news made it difficult for Sarutobi Hiruzen to remain rational, so he subconsciously resisted and questioned.

But he is the Third Hokage after all, and deceiving himself is not something he should do.

Mu Yue hurriedly stepped forward and supported Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head to indicate that he didn't need it. He was just overwhelmed by the shock for a moment, not that he was really old.

"Where did he die? Was the body brought back?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in a deep voice.

It is impossible for Danzo Shimura to have gotten into trouble in Konoha, or even in the Land of Fire.

"In the Rain Country, the bodies are now at the root base." Mu Yue answered truthfully.

"Except for Lord Danzo, most of the Root ninjas have also died. Currently, there is only one member left in the Root."

Although Mu Yue and Yamato can be considered members of the Root, they are not on the Root's roster and are not openly members of the Root.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything, but just rubbed his frowning brows.

At this moment, he already had some speculations about the death of Danzo Shimura.

Before, Danzo Shimura had raised some suggestions with Sarutobi Hiruzen, saying that they should pay attention to the Ninja Clan and the Ninja forces in the Rain Country.

Now Danzo Shimura is dead in the Land of Rain.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that it was most likely because he did not agree with Shimura Danzo's proposal, and then Shimura Danzo acted on his own, failed and was killed.

"Do you know how Danzo died? Why did he go to the Rain Country? Why did he die in the Rain Country?" On the way, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked directly.

Based on Sarutobi Hiruzen's understanding of Shimura Danzo, the Root ninja who stayed behind in the Root base probably didn't have any intelligence.

Although Mu Yue is not a member of the root now, judging from the current situation, she might know a lot.

"I'm not sure why Lord Danzo went to the Rain Country. He didn't tell me the reason. He just said that there was an important matter that needed my help and that I couldn't tell you, the Third Hokage." Mu Yue looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with an apologetic look on his face.

Danzo Shimura was very cautious. The scroll he gave to Mu Yue only instructed Mu Yue to go to the Rain Country, but did not specify what to do.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression did not change. This was very Shimura Danzo, and it sounded like something Shimura Danzo would do.

"The one who killed Lord Danzo was Sosuke from the Land of the Rain." Mu Yue's eyes turned red again and her tone became self-blaming.

"If I had arrived earlier, or told you, the Sandaime, perhaps Lord Danzo would not have died."

“When I arrived, Danzo-sama had already been severely injured. Although I immediately used Flying Thunder God to rescue Danzo-sama, it was too late.

Master Danzo was too seriously injured, and my medical ninjutsu was unable to cure him. I could only watch Master Danzo die. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply, as if he could see Mu Yue's joy when she rescued Danzo Shimura, and her self-blame and helplessness when she witnessed Danzo Shimura's death.

After all, Mu Yue was raised by Danzo Shimura from childhood to adulthood, and it is impossible for Mu Yue to have no feelings for Danzo Shimura.

"Mu Yue, this is not your fault." Sarutobi Hiruzen put his hand on Mu Yue's shoulder and comforted her.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very sad about the death of his old friend, but judging from the nature of the incident, it was definitely Danzo Shimura who was at fault first, not Mu Yue who was at fault for being slow in rescuing him.

"But, even if it wasn't faster, but the medical ninjutsu was stronger, perhaps Lord Danzo wouldn't..." Mu Yue was still immersed in sad self-blame.

"No ninja can have all the abilities developed at the same time. If there is, he must be a mediocre ninja. This is not your problem. You are already good enough." Sarutobi Hiruzen comforted.

To be honest, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that this was Shimura Danzo's doom.

Mu Yue himself failed to save the person. Even if Mu Yue notified him immediately, it would be too late for him to save the person.

The solution to the situation does not lie with Mu Yue, but with Shimura Danzo himself.

It was Shimura Danzo's own actions that led to his own death. Based on the currently known information, Sarutobi Hiruzen made such a judgment.

The two chatted as they walked to the Root Base, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also saw his old friend lying on the ice platform.
