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

Chapter 23 Clouds move in all directions
For Konoha, the vacant position of the Fifth Hokage is the key at the moment, and other things can be put aside.

Similarly, for the Sand Ninjas, finding the missing Fourth Kazekage is their top priority.

Apart from some of the Sand Ninjas currently imprisoned in Konoha, all the ninjas of the Sand Village can be said to have come out in full force. Just like they had searched for the Third Kazekage more than ten years ago, they were searching for the Fourth Kazekage or his body with great experience.

To some extent, the Sand Ninja should thank Orochimaru.

After all, it was agreed that the Fourth Kazekage Rasa would lead the Sand Ninjas and the Sound Ninjas led by Orochimaru would raid Konoha together.

I don't know what's wrong with Orochimaru, but he chooses to plot against his ally, the Fourth Kazekage, first.

If the purpose was to get close to the Third Hokage and deal him a fatal blow, thus disguising himself as the Fourth Kazekage.

During the Chunin Exam, Orochimaru did not seem to have the idea of ​​launching a surprise attack and killing the Third Hokage with one blow.

If not, then what was the point of assassinating the Fourth Kazekage?
Wouldn’t it be nice to have one more person, one more helper?

However, it is precisely because of Orochimaru's assassination of the Fourth Kazekage that the Sand Ninja is in a much better situation now.

Otherwise, the fact that the Sand Ninja caused great damage and casualties to Konoha would not have been easily covered up by Konoha, thinking that it was being deceived.

It is very likely that a real war will break out between Konoha and the Sand Ninja, and as in previous history, other ninja villages will be destroyed one after another in the following period of time, thus starting the Fourth Ninja World War in the true sense.

From this perspective, Orochimaru's assassination of the Fourth Kazekage was a meritorious act.

The other three Kage from the five major ninja villages are still there.

Therefore, after receiving the information about the attack on Konoha, they all smiled in unison, gloating, and gave Orochimaru a thumbs up in their hearts, looking forward to his continued efforts in the future.

Then, when they saw the news that Hagoromo Gengetsu had broken free from the shackles of the Impure World Reincarnation and left Konoha alone, their expressions froze instantly.

Although they did not have as comprehensive an understanding of the Impure World Reincarnation technique as the Hokage, during the reign of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju used this ninjutsu many times to disgust his enemies.

Through the relevant intelligence collected, they were still able to understand something.

As expected, Yuyori Gengetsu did not resurrect, but his soul was temporarily summoned into the Impure World state.

But even so, one reality cannot be denied.

That is, Yuyi Xuanyue, with his self-awareness, set foot on the land of the real world again in the true sense after decades.

Iwagakure Village.

The third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, received the news that Hagoromo Gengetsu had reappeared while he was in the hospital treating his old waist.

As he was shouting "It hurts, it hurts", his expression suddenly froze, and then his eyes became extremely complicated.

"Yuyi Xuanyue."

If we were to ask who in the current ninja world knows Yugoriko Gengetsu best.

He admits to being second, and no one can claim to be first.

Who made him see Yuyi Xuanyue with his own eyes?

Not in the final battle at Shenyue Valley.

But it was earlier, even before the five major ninja villages were established.

In the Warring States Period, when it was common for people to go into battle at the age of five, Ōnoki was already fifteen or sixteen years old when Konoha was first established, and was already an adult at the time.

During his ten-plus years of ninja career, he had met the leader of the Hagoromo clan, Hagoromo Gengetsu, who was at the height of his power at that time, several times due to missions. He had witnessed with his own eyes the scene of a true genius who was several years older than him displaying his prowess.

There is no need for a literal reminder, no need for the Second Tsuchikage, as a teacher, to emphasize its horror again and again.

Oonoki already had a deep understanding of Hagoromo Gengetsu, and he is still impressed by it today.

"Who would have thought that I, who was just a minion back then, would become the Third Tsuchikage now? You, who were so arrogant back then, have already turned into a pile of dirt."

Ohnoki shook his head with emotion, motioned the nurse who was massaging to move aside, stood up and put on the Tsuchikage God robe.

"Lord Tsuchikage, what should we do?" Ōnoki's son, Huang Tu, who handed over the information, asked while waiting for instructions.

Ohnoki said without hesitation: "Let the Iwagakure ninja troops near the front line of the Land of Fire move and scare Konoha. If there is any benefit, take it. If there is no benefit, it can also distract the opponent. As for Hagoromo Gengetsu." Ohnoki pondered for a long time, and finally sighed and shook his head and said: "Send a team to investigate. It doesn't matter if they don't find it."

No matter how dazzling the glory is, it will eventually pass.

Even if it appears again, it will only be a moment of glory.

From a personal perspective, Ōnoki really wanted to meet again with Hagoromo Gengetsu, a person he admired when he was young.

But from the perspective of the overall interests, the village’s strength cannot be wasted on meaningless things.

Ōnoki followed the latter.

but
Ohnoki's mouth curled up as if he thought of something.

He is not in a hurry regarding Yuyi Xuanyue's matter, but that doesn't mean that some people are not in a hurry either.

"Oh!"

The sound of slamming the table could be heard in the Mizukage's office.

The young Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, ordered in a cold tone: "Send out all the ninja chasing troops, and make sure to find Hagoromo Gengetsu and escort him back to the Hidden Mist Village."

As the party with the biggest losses in the battle of Shenyue Valley, the Hidden Mist Village not only lost the first Mizukage, but also caused the reputation of the Mist Ninja to decline significantly.

More importantly, the newly integrated Hidden Mist Village was in the absence of the backbone who ruled it all, and the internal struggle that had been suppressed with great difficulty was stirred up again.

Even though the second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, took office, his prestige was far less than that of the first Mizukage, so the effect of integrating the village was not very good.

What's more, he himself died at the end of the First Ninja World War.

Now the internal struggle in the Hidden Mist Village has become even more intense, leading to the emergence of the "Bloody Mist Era".

Even though the Blood Mist Era has ended now, the legacy issues of Kirigakure over the past decades still torment the current Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi.

It is absolutely not wrong to say that Hagoromo Gengetsu is the source of a series of tragedies in the Hidden Mist Village.

As a result, when Mei Terumi, who is always narrow-minded, heard that Yuyori Gengetsu, the person who had been bitterly denounced by her elders in the Mist Ninja since childhood, appeared in the ninja world again, no matter what state the other party was in, she would take him down to avenge her ancestors.

Fortunately, Qing calmly advised, "Mr. Mizukage, Hagoromo Gengetsu should still be in the Land of Fire. The situation in the Ninja World is very unstable right now. If we start a war like this, it will most likely cause misunderstandings in Konoha. Please think twice."

"Besides, that person is already dead after all. There is really no need to spend so much energy looking for him."

So what if I find it?

Yuyi Xuanyue is already dead.

Are you going to kill him again?
Will the other party be afraid?

After much persuasion, Mei Terumi finally gave up the idea of ​​starting a war and compromised, choosing to send a group of people to secretly pursue Hagoromo Gengetsu.

At last.

Compared to the Mist Ninja's chattering.

The Cloud Ninjas are much more straightforward.

Even though it was the First Mizukage who died, the First Raikage only had an arm broken.

After receiving the news, the Fourth Raikage Ai raised a dumbbell as thick as his arm and gave the order without hesitation:

“Do your best to find Yugoriko Gengetsu and avenge the First Raikage’s broken arm!”

"Yes!"

No one refuted.

The massive fighting machine that was the Cloud Ninja began to operate with great efficiency.
