The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 272
The Land of Fire, Hidden Leaf Village!

Sandai looked at Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya and Orochimaru standing in front of him with serious faces.

"Oshemaru, Ziraiya, Minato, I called the three of you here today, and I think you can all guess why."

After more than two years, the third ninja world war finally came to an end, and all major ninja villages have entered the post-war recuperation.

But with that comes all sorts of problems.

In this third Ninja World War that swept across most of the world, over [-] ninjas were killed or injured, and even three of the five major ninja villages died, Kazekage, Mizukage and Raikage, which is very rare matter.

Since the establishment of the Five Great Ninja Villages, the shadows who died during the war are the Second Hokage, the Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage. Among them, the Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage were still in the first ninja world war It's time to die together.

And this time, the three kages who fought in their prime almost died in this war, and two of them were said to have been assassinated by Fujiwara Rikimaru. It was definitely the first time in history that one person assassinated two kages.

This time, the shadows of Muyeyin Village and Yanyin Village did not die in battle, but the situation of Konoha and Yanyin Village is not much better. Muye Village suffered heavy casualties, and several large-scale wars almost all have the shadow of Konoha. It is considered to be the most serious loss of high-end ninja combat power.

Afterwards, the tragedy of the village hero's defection occurred. Therefore, Muye Village can be said to be the village with the worst loss of combat power among the five great ninja villages.

The situation of Yanyin Village is slightly better than that of Konoha, but they are the village with the largest number of ninjas among the five major ninja villages. Tens of thousands of ninjas died in the third ninja war.

If this number is placed in Wuyin Village and Sandyin Village, they may directly destroy their ninja villages, but Yanyin Village has a large number of people. Even though it lost so many people, it still retains a large number of ninjas.

After experiencing so many things, Konoha's third Hokage has long been exhausted. If he hadn't had a tenacious will to persist, he might have collapsed long ago.

This can be seen from his head full of white hair. You must know that before the war, although his hair was gray, it was also somewhat black, but now, he really can't see even a single black hair. At sixty, he looks like he's 70.

"Danzo has been missing for more than half a year and has not been in contact with the village. I am afraid that something happened."

Speaking of this, Sandai Hokage couldn't hide his sadness. Even though he was dissatisfied with Danzo's various behaviors, he was his companion for many years and one of the people he relied on most.

Since Danzo left the village more than half a year ago, he has never appeared again, and he knew that something must have happened to Danzo.

"It must be that kid Fujiwara Rikimaru. He hates Danzo to the bone, and only he has the ability and the courage to attack Danzo."

In the office, in addition to the three generations of masters and apprentices, there are also two advisors, Zhuanju Xiaochun and Mito Menyan, and it is Zhuanju Xiaochun who speaks.

"That kid is really damned, Hirizhan, you should have listened to Danzo's opinion at the beginning, and if you take him down earlier, it won't cause today's consequences."

Fujiwara Rikimaru's defection really added fuel to the fire for Konoha, causing the scarred Konoha to be hit hard again, which made the always radical Wansan Koharu very dissatisfied.

When it comes to Fujiwara Rikimaru, the faces of several people present are all different. The third generation is silent, and the bedtime Koharu is angry and dissatisfied. He was unexpected.

Orochimaru's face was cold, but in fact he was disdainful. Not to mention Fujiwara Rikimaru, even the current him has gradually lost patience with this village.

It's just that he regrets that Danzang disappeared. You must know that he and Danzang have been cooperating all the time. With Danzang's support, he can successfully research in secret.

But with the disappearance of Danzo, his research has slowly hit a bottleneck, and he has been very uncomfortable for the past six months.

Not only in terms of research, but also psychologically, he found that the attitude of the village is slowly changing. In the past, the most talked about and admired in the village were their Sanren;

But now, the most admired person in the village is Namikaze Minato, and everyone is talking about Namikaze Minato's greatness, as if the victory of the third ninja world war is due to Namikaze Minato alone.

Of course he knew that this was his teacher and Konoha's high-level officials who were building momentum for Namikaze Minato, and they couldn't wait to launch Namikaze Minato, but he, who had paid more for the village, was completely ignored.

Although he admits that Minato Namikaze is good, he is only a junior after all. What's more, Minato Namikaze is not the most eye-catching in this war. If Fujiwara Rikimaru was not suppressed so badly, he would definitely not be worse than Minato Namikaze.

Compared with Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru actually agrees with Fujiwara Rikimaru more. He thinks that Fujiwara Rikimaru is the same type of person as him. In the past, Fujiwara Rikimaru was suppressed, but now, Konoha's senior management has started to suppress Namikaze Minato. he.

Of course, Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya were the ones with the most complicated moods. Needless to say, Zirai was already extremely disappointed, and now he didn't even want to defend himself, but just looked at Zhuanxiaoharu with displeased eyes.

The same is true for Namikaze Minato, he is indeed an upright gentleman, at least those present, even Jiraiya, are definitely not as upright as he is.

He had a good relationship with Riki, and it was difficult for him to accept Riki's defection.

After falling into a moment of silence, Sandai said: "Danzo will not give up on his search. Whether he is alive or dead, we have to confirm, but it is not for this matter that we called everyone here today."

Turning his gaze over several people, he sighed: "What happened in this war has exhausted me physically and mentally. I am getting old and can no longer bear such a great pressure. I have been unable to deal with affairs recently. This state will affect the village. After the post-war reconstruction, I am going to step down from the position of Hokage."

"What? Sun Zhan, are you kidding me?"

Although I had some guesses in my heart, when the third Hokage really said it, the people present were still very shocked, and Mitomon Yan even shouted in surprise.

"Where do I have the energy to joke now?"

Three generations of Hokage laughed at himself, "In the past few years, under my control, the village has not only failed to prosper, but has gradually declined. You all know the current situation of the village. What the village needs now is a young and energetic leader. to the village, and I, a late old man, no longer have the ability."

"Removing the position of Hokage and selecting a new Hokage is what I have considered for a long time, and it is imperative. This is beneficial to me, to the villagers, and to the entire village."
