Naruto: I fought the five Kages hard, and then the system came

Chapter 22 Undercurrent surging
In the 60th year of Konoha, an ordinary Chunin Exam was destined to go down in the history of the ninja world.

The Sand Ninja and the Sound Ninja jointly launched a surprise attack on Konoha Village.

Orochimaru, once one of the three great ninjas of Konoha, successfully killed his master.

After dominating the ninja world for more than 40 years, the Third Hokage, known as the "Ninja Hero", died.

The Fourth Kazekage disappeared.

A man who is on par with gods reappears on earth.

This series of explosive news turned the ninja world, which had been peaceful for many years, upside down.

Not only did Konoha lose its leader, but the Sand Ninja also continued to take action.

The big village forces such as the Cloud Ninja, the Rock Ninja, and the Mist Ninja who stayed out of the matter, as well as other small and medium-sized ninja villages and major ninja organizations, were all undercurrents.

Many old people who had experienced the war couldn't help but frown.

The current situation makes them feel like the situation has suddenly changed and war is coming again.

I hope this is just an illusion.

In the Land of Fire, in a bustling casino.

In the extremely noisy and lively environment of "Big! Big!", "Small! Small!", "Give it all in!", "I won! Hahaha!", "Ahhh! Kill me!" and so on.

A mature and beautiful woman wearing a tea-green "gambling" gown, light golden ponytails tied behind her head, and a fair and exceptionally majestic fair chest excitedly grabbed the exchanged chips. The black-haired woman holding a pink piggy beside her was heartbroken and helpless as she put the chips into the slot machine in front of her one by one.

A few minutes later.

Wow~~~
A large amount of chips were once again spit out from the slot machine.

Looking at the chips that were almost piled up into a small mountain in front of her, the black-haired woman said with great surprise:

"Lady Tsunade! We won again!!!"

God feels pity for you.

This was the first time in all these years that Shizune saw Lady Tsunade not losing money constantly, but winning money instead.

However, Tsunade frowned.

Although she had won money, she looked like she had lost a lot and she placed another bet on the slot machine.

Just like before, money is rolling in.

Jingyin, who was glad that she didn't have to sleep on the street tonight, quickly stepped forward to hold on to the crumbling mountain of chips.

Tsunade didn't move anymore, and no one knew what she was thinking.

At this time, the conversations of several gamblers nearby reached their ears.

"Have you heard that Konoha was attacked by the Sand Ninja and an unknown small ninja village, and the Third Hokage died in the battle."

"How could such a powerful Third Hokage be killed?"

"The one who did it was Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas, and he was once the disciple of the Third Hokage."

"Orochimaru is so powerful?"

"That's not true. I also heard a rumor that the missing Fourth Kazekage was also killed by Orochimaru."

"I can't believe it!!! If it's true, Orochimaru killed two of the Five Kage by himself."

"."

"By the way, speaking of the Five Kage, I also got some news. The man who was as famous as the First Hokage, who once killed one of the Five Kage and disabled another, and who was said to be on par with God, also appeared at the Chunin Exam this time, and I heard that he even left Konoha."

"Impossible! How could someone from the same era as the First Hokage still be alive?"

"That's what the older brother of my sister's third uncle's friend said. He was a ninja from Konoha and was at the scene at the time."

"He must have seen it wrong, or maybe the message was misdelivered. Oh, right! I remember now. That man was called Yugoriko Gengetsu, right? He had clearly died at the hands of the first Hokage. The current Godfall Valley was built for him. How can a dead person be resurrected?"

"I see! It seems the news is indeed wrong. But it is definitely true that Orochimaru killed the Third Hokage."

"Konoha and the Land of Fire are in trouble again. We don't know who will be the fourth or fifth Hokage. Let's choose one quickly to prevent people from panicking."

"."

Click.

The chips in Tsunade's hand were shattered.

Shizune, who was holding the chips in both hands, froze in her tracks and subconsciously looked at Tsunade.

"Shizune!" Tsunade shouted expressionlessly.

"Here!" Shizune straightened her back quickly. "Pack your things, let's go." Tsunade ordered.

"Okay!" Shizune quickly packed up and asked, "Tsunade-sama, are we going back to Konoha?"

Tsunade's eyes were a little complicated, but she quickly put it aside and said,
"Konoha? No! Let's go to the next casino!"

"Yes?"

Shizune was stunned.

at the same time.

The Konoha ninjas and villagers, who had just held the funeral for the Third Hokage, were dressed in black and left in silence.

Jiraiya, who was in the middle of it, was stopped by two Konoha advisors.

"Huruzen is no longer with us. Although we have set up an emergency executive committee, it can only take effect temporarily. Konoha needs a new Hokage. Jiraiya, you will be the fifth Hokage."

Utane Koharu didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

Mitomon En at the side said: "Jiraiya, now in Konoha Village, you are the only one who is most qualified to be the Hokage, don't refuse again."

In the eyes of the two advisors, Hiruzen's disciples, Jiraiya and Tsunade were the most qualified to become the Fifth Hokage.

Now Tsunade is nowhere to be found, so the best choice is Jiraiya who is nearby.

As for their old friend Danzo Shimura.

Although they knew that the other party was obsessed with the position of Hokage, if they had a choice, they would not want this person who had been buried in the darkness for too long and was too cold and tough to come to the front.

The word "Hokage" is undoubtedly the dream of most people.

But not Jiraiya.

Hearing the two advisors say this, Jiraiya shook his head as if he had taken over a hot potato, "No, no, no! I can't be the Hokage, don't look for me!"

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En continued to persuade.

Jiraiya couldn't resist and sold Tsunade out:
"Let's go find Tsunade. She's more suitable to be the fifth generation."

"Don't worry, my toad will find her soon."

"I will definitely bring her back!!!"

The funeral scene was more solemn than that of the third generation, inside an underground base called "Root".

Sitting in the darkness, Danzo Shimura supported himself with his crutches, and remained silent for a long time.

Until a certain moment, he said in a low voice with a complicated expression:
"Hiruzen."

"Lord Danzo." A Root ninja walked over.

"What's the matter?" Shimura Danzo regained his composure and asked in a cold voice.

The Root Ninja reported: "The Konoha upper echelons have decided that Jiraiya will bring Tsunade back to serve as the Fifth Hokage."

"Tsunade?"

Shimura Danzo was not surprised.

Tsunade, who was born into the Senju family, established Konoha's medical system, and saved countless Konoha ninjas, is indeed the most qualified to be Hokage, even though she has left Konoha for many years.

In another timeline, even Danzo Shimura himself only truly stepped out of the darkness and served as the temporary Sixth Hokage when Tsunade fell into a coma and Konoha was leaderless.

"Wait a minute."

Shimura Danzo found that he was not as impatient as he had imagined.

Perhaps that was the reason for Hiruzen's death.

He shook his head slightly, and the next second he resumed his dark Ninja posture, and ordered in a cold voice:
"Send someone to tell Orochimaru that I have something to say to him."

"Also, order the Root ninja to search for Hagoromo Gengetsu. I want to know what he has been doing during this time."

Hagoromo Gengetsu, a man as famous as Senju Hashirama, is definitely not as dangerous as old fools like Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En think.

Even though he is dead now.

Judging from his own experience, Danzo Shimura believed that Gengetsu Hagoromo must have some earth-shattering plan for his meticulous efforts to break free from the constraints of the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Such a person who has a grudge against Konoha must not be left outside and ignored.

so.
find him!
Imprison him!
Discover all his knowledge and secrets!
Finally use it for yourself!
Danzo Shimura stomped his crutch hard, and his one eye emitted an extremely murderous light.
