Escape From Konoha

The capital of the Land of Fire, the residence of the daimyo.

It is said to be a mansion, but it is actually an incomparably magnificent castle.

There are maids and guards serving the daimyo living in it, and there are many powerful ninjas among them, hiding in secret to protect the safety of the daimyo.

In the castle tower at the highest point of the castle, the daimyo of the country of fire, as well as several important ministers in the country, gathered here for a meeting.

In addition, there are the three generations of Hokage, the leader of Konoha Village, who is the strongest military symbol of the Fire Country, and the two village advisers, Zanju Koharu and Mito Menyan, and the root leader Shimura Danzo.

The four of them also came to the keep of the castle to meet with the fire country daimyo.

They discussed only one topic of the meeting, that is, the third generation of Hokage is about to step down, and the position of Hokage will be passed on to the next generation.

Hearing that the third Hokage was about to step down, and the Hokage daimyo who had known the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi for many years, showed a regretful expression.

"It's a pity. I think you have done a good job since you assumed the position of the third Hokage. I didn't expect you to retire so soon."

"Your Excellency, you are joking. In fact, I am already in my fifties, and my energy and strength are not as good as before. It is better to decide on the next generation of Hokage as soon as possible. Moreover, the reason why Konoha is always in the middle of war is because There is also a reason for my poor command."

Ri Zhan said with a sigh, it seems that he has made up his mind.

The fire country daimyo nodded, opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned it gently in front of him, showing a full aftertaste.

"Since that's the case, then the four of you coming here together must have already decided on the candidate for the fourth generation of Hokage."

Although the daimyo is nominally in the country, it has the highest administrative power and the highest military power.

However, this is not absolute.

It is very difficult for the daimyo to intervene in the decision-making of the five shadows, including the management of Ninja Village.

Therefore, it is Konoha Village's own choice to decide the candidate for the fourth generation of Hokage. The biggest purpose of coming here is to go through a cutscene and let the daimyo be a witness.

After all, Ninja Village needs the financial assistance of nobles such as daimyo to be able to operate.

This decades-long contract may not change in hundreds of years, and has been maintained forever.

"Yes, this is the candidate we have decided on."

Hand over several documents with the same content to the daimyo and the rest of the Fire Nation's important ministers.

These important ministers, including the daimyo, are all celebrities and wealthy families, with financial and human resources that ordinary people can't match.

Located at the pinnacle of power in the Fire Nation.

This has been the case for generations.

The Fire Nation daimyo and the other important ministers nodded slightly after reading the contents of the document.

Although the chosen candidate is a bit unexpected, it is also reasonable.

"Yellow flash? He is indeed an excellent ninja, and we have heard a lot of rumors about him. Even among the nobles, there are many girls who admire a young and promising ninja like him. When you come next time, put Bring him here too, my daughter wants to see him too."

The fire country daimyo said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness, golden branches and jade leaves, are not suitable for etiquette. Besides, Your Excellency, Your Excellency, is really flattering that kid Minato."

Hirizhan chuckled, and calmly rejected the proposal of the fire country daimyo.

The relatives who are related to the daimyo of the country of fire cannot be simple goods. Especially for the existence of a princess, marriage means political purposes.

No matter what, as Hokage, you can't let the power class outside the village get involved, which will damage Hokage's prestige and power.

"They are all young people. Maybe they have more topics to talk about than us old guys."

Facing the repeated requests from the daimyo of the Fire Nation, Hizhan smiled and said nothing, not seeing anything unusual.

Danzo sneered silently, with resignation in his eyes.

Because a ninja like Namikaze Minato couldn't be on his side no matter what.

But as one of Konoha's decision-makers, he must come here to participate in such an important and not so important meeting.

◎

It didn't take long to decide on the matter of the Fourth Hokage. On the pretext that there were still things to deal with in the village, Hirazan took the three of Danzo and the accompanying Anbe to leave the capital of the Fire Country and return to Konoha Village.

The first thing he did when he returned to the village was to send Anbu to issue announcements throughout the village to let every Konoha ninja and villagers know the news that the yellow flashing Namikaze Minato had succeeded the Fourth Hokage.

Konoha will also usher in a new era guided by the new Hokage.

Regardless of the changes in the village due to the alternation of Hokage, at the top of the Hokage Building, Hirizan summoned Minato alone.

"Sorry, Minato, for making you take on such a heavy responsibility so early."

Facing Hirizan's apology, Minato replied: "Please don't say that, Mr. Third Hokage. Since the village has decided that I will become the Fourth Hokage, I will definitely carry forward with a heavy burden."

Minato has made up his mind.

Compared with the days of fighting on the front line, no matter how busy you are as Hokage, there is no more bumpy road than the front line.

Moreover, this is also the dream I have had since I was a child-to become Hokage.

"It's not my wish to tie you up in the village, but many people in the village are already dissatisfied with my conservative approach. The transition is just right at this time."

Minato listened carefully to Hirazan's words.

"You don't have to worry about Yun Yin's affairs. Although their movements are weird, there are other ninjas in the village who can stop them from attacking the Land of Fire. Anyway, congratulations."

Ri Zhan had a heartfelt blessing smile on his face.

Although Minato is not his disciple, he is also a Konoha ninja who almost grew up under his nose, and he knows the basics better than others.

Minato, who agrees with and implements the meaning of the will of fire, is presumably a village that will be well guided in the future.

Until then, though, the rest of the village's voices must be silenced.

Otherwise, he wouldn't trust Minato with the burden of leading the village.

For Minato, the job of balancing the various forces in the village was too difficult.

In short, let Minato slowly go through Hokage's work and accumulate prestige and power.

When Minato's wings are fully fledged, at that time, he has almost resolved the sharp conflicts in the village, and can truly retire, entrust everything to Minato, and enjoy the rest of his life.

So at this time, Hirizhan was apologetic to Minato.

On the one hand, he does not want Minato to be his own puppet, on the other hand, he hopes that Minato can exceed his own expectations and let him develop Konoha freely.

This kind of contradictory and complicated mood is exactly where Ri Zhan struggles.

Looking at the sky, the third generation was fascinated.

If Teacher Toikama hadn't died at that time, the village would look different now. Hirizhan thought in his heart, nostalgic for the scene at that time.

Uchiha, it's time to really deal with it. If you continue to delay, I'm afraid the situation will be extremely detrimental to the stability of the village. A stern look flashed in Ri Zhan's eyes.

◎

At the beginning of August, after the fourth Hokage inauguration ceremony was held, Konoha officially announced to the ninja world that the Yellow Shining Namikaze Minato will succeed the Fourth Hokage.

This incident, in a sense, was completely predictable.

The successor of the fourth generation of Hokage will only appear between Yellow Flash and Sannin.

And Yellow Flash becoming the Fourth Hokage means that Yellow Flash, a ninja with super strength, will not appear on the battlefield without special circumstances.

As for whether the yellow flash that becomes Hokage will make Konoha go further or go downhill, at present, it cannot be intuitively felt.

The yellow flash is only strong in combat power, as for the leadership ability, it depends on his next actions.

No matter how disturbed the outside world is, Minato is caught in distress and happiness.

It's a bit complacent to say so, but becoming Hokage is indeed something to be happy about.

The trouble is that under Minato, there are not many cronies who can be trusted.

Those Jnin with some experience are in a wait-and-see state, and rarely express their views directly. Like the people in Ninja Village outside, they believe in the personal strength of Yellow Flash, but it is worth thinking about the leadership ability.

Therefore, based on this embarrassing situation, Minato can only look for available talents from the new generation of ninjas.

For example, the Shadow Guard and its own Anbu are formed by themselves.

Based on this embarrassing situation, the former Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi selected four squads from his direct subordinate Anbu, a total of 16 people, to serve as Minato's team, and joined Minato's direct subordinate Anbu to share the Minato pressure.

Unsurprisingly, a week after Minato succeeded the Fourth Hokage, Kakashi joined Minato's Anbu as a ninja to assist Minato in his work. In the future, as time goes by, he will become the sub-captain and deputy director of Minato. , Minister, it will be a matter of time.

Everything is going in a good direction.

What makes Kakashi interesting is that the order given to him by the Third Hokage is to assist Minato and just follow Minato's orders.

Orochimaru asked him to pay more attention to the collection of ninjutsu in the Naruto Building, such as forbidden techniques.

Danzo asked him to monitor Minato's every move to see if he could find some black material and use public opinion to put pressure on Minato.

Fortunately, there was no order from Shiraishi, and Kakashi was allowed to play freely, otherwise the burden on him would be really heavy enough.

The third Hokage, the fourth Hokage, the root leader, one of the Sannin... are not good friends, each one is stronger than him.

However, Kakashi is not without benefits for becoming Anbu, that is, Minato, with the power of Hokage, opened up some important ninjutsu materials to him, allowing him to read, so that his strength can quickly become stronger.

The ninjutsu information that Konoha has gathered over the years has been of great help to Kakashi.

Although it is not a more mysterious fairy art system, the use of pure chakra is not easy to use.

After completing Anbu's mission, Kakashi, the captain of the four-member Anbu team, will come to the Hokage Building for a mission report.

The task this time is very simple, you need to solve the spy who sneaked into Konoha from Ninja Village of the enemy country. After Konoha stole the secret, the spy of the enemy country fled to the border of Fire Nation, was chased and wiped out by the Anbu team led by Kakashi, and successfully retrieved the stolen secret scroll. The body of the spy ninja was also recovered and handed over to the interrogation department to identify the ninja power of which country it was.

Putting the stolen confidential scroll in the ninja bag, Kakashi, who had changed into an Anbu costume and an animal mask, walked towards the office where Hokage was located, and was about to hand over the scroll to the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato to confirm its authenticity.

Before arriving at the office, a ninja came out from the front room. This ninja hugged a large box full of documents and carried them to the corridor, holding a toothpick-like toothpick in his mouth.

Seeing Kakashi in Anbu's costume, he smiled and said, "Kakashi, are you here to find Hokage-sama?"

"Hey, Genma, don't call Anbe ninja by name casually."

Anbu's ninja identity needs to be kept secret, which should be the common sense of ninjas.

Kakashi looked helplessly at Konoha Ninja in front of him.

Wearing the uniform of Konoha Chunin, he is about the same age as himself, both thirteen or fourteen years old, and his name is Shiranui Genma.

He is one of the three former subordinates of the ninja Uchiha Ruri who has defected. Now he is transferred to work here in the Naruto Building, and he is also one of the shadow guard members of Naruto Minato.

"Haha." The man laughed, and said helplessly, "I can't help it. Your silver hair and the dagger behind you are so iconic that everyone can recognize you."

"Then what are these documents?"

Kakashi looked at the contents of the box.

"It's a document that has been discarded. I'll deal with it. Sorry, I'll take a step first."

"It's okay, just go about your business."

Kakashi watched the other party leave with the box in his arms, and lamented that there was really no one under Minato's command.

It's not that he looks down on Genma, who became a Chunin, but that the member of Hokage's Shadow Guard is unexpectedly served by a ninja who has just become a Chunin. Compared with the guard work of the Shadow Guard, the other party is more like coming to do chores.

As for the other two ninjas who are members of the Minato Kageguards with Genma, they are also new generations who have just become Chunin.

Is it only possible to draw cronies from the new generation of ninjas? Kakashi felt a little sympathetic to what happened to Minato.

Came to the office where Minato was, knocked on the door and got permission to enter, and found that there were three other people there.

Shikahisa in Nara, Haiichi in Yamanaka, Dingza in Akimichi.

The three Konoha Jami who performed the mission together two years ago.

Although they are Junin, the importance of the three of them in the village cannot be underestimated.

They were from the Nara clan, the Yamanaka clan and the Akimichi clan respectively.

The three families formed an indestructible alliance in the Warring States Period, advancing and retreating together, and inheriting special secret arts, occupying a pivotal position among Konoha.

The most important thing is that these three families have always been friends with the Sarutobi clan where the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi belonged.

The three of them came here, does that mean the Three Hokages? Kakashi was puzzled.

The strife within Konoha was far more intense than outsiders imagined.

And Kakashi felt that he was in the center of such a fierce storm.

After Kakashi arrived, Shikahisa and the others also glanced at him. Even if Kakashi was wearing a mask, others could recognize his identity at first glance.

With silver hair, white teeth and a dagger, and a small body exuding a fierce and sharp aura, in this office, only Minato can deal with it calmly.

"Then, I will trouble you with the matter just mentioned."

Sitting on the seat that belonged to the third Hokage not long ago, Minato smiled and said to the three of them.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to us, Hokage-sama, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Lu Jiu responded with a smile, then took Hai Yi and Ding Zuo away, and closed the door.

After the three left, Kakashi took out the stolen secret scroll from the ninja bag and put it on the table in front of Minato.

"Master Naruto, the mission has been completed."

This is understandable, as long as he enters work, the teacher-student relationship between him and Minato will be invalidated. Here there is only the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Hokage and Anbe.

Minato picked up the scroll and opened it. After confirming the contents on it, he rolled it up again and put it in the drawer.

"Thank you for your hard work. There is no problem with the scroll. Fortunately, it was resolved before it caused trouble."

Minato breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Kakashi with admiration.

"It's nothing, it's what I should do."

"Next there is an important task for you, no problem, Kakashi. After completing this task, I will give you a few days off to rest."

"It's my honor, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi replied seriously.

Minato asked him to complete tasks one after another, mainly because there was no one.

The members of the Lianying Guard are all Chunin, and there are very few Jonin who can be completely trusted.

"This is the content of this mission, take a look."

Minato handed Kakashi the new quest scroll.

Kakashi opened it to confirm the content of this mission.

"The Land of Rain?"

Kakashi's face under the mask raised an eyebrow.

The mission location was in the Land of Rain, which surprised Kakashi.

To be honest, Kakashi feels that there are many extremely dangerous places in the ninja world.

In addition to the country of ghosts, the remaining one is the country of rain.

This seemingly dilapidated country, which has lost even its sovereignty, is secretly undercurrents.

"Yes, this matter is up to you. Be careful, I think it's not easy. If you find something wrong, it's okay to give up the task."

Minato said to Kakashi seriously.

Kakashi just nodded.

Of course he knew that the Land of Rain was dangerous. If he encountered the Eye of Reincarnation, he would have to run away with his life.

He didn't want to die so early.

Therefore, more detonators should be prepared.

◎

"In the end, the Yellow Flash is the successor to the Fourth Hokage?"

In a secret room in the cave, Nagato finished his training and was resting in the room when he heard such information from Bai Jue.

"Yeah, everyone was surprised. That Orochimaru was completely defeated."

Bai Jue giggled.

"Speaking of which, Nagato-sama is still the same sect as Huang Shining, and they are all disciples of Jiraiya, one of the Sannin."

Hei Jue also said aside.

"Ignore the matter of Jiraiya-sensei, we can't take Konoha lightly. Of course, the same goes for those three people. Do you have any information about them?"

Nagato looked at Hei Ze.

Heijue knew who the "three people" in the long gate were referring to.

"Not yet. It's really strange. We searched almost every corner of the ninja world, but we couldn't find their whereabouts. It's almost like the gods have disappeared."

Bai never took it seriously and said with a smile: "What's so strange about this. When Madara-sama was still around, they suffered a lot from them. Their ability to hide themselves is indeed superb. But in the future, Konoha should be free Come on, deal with those three people."

Hei Jue also nodded, expressing his agreement.

"No, now is not the time to deal with those three people."

Nagato expressed a different opinion, which surprised Hei Jue and Bai Jue.

Nagato looked at the half-burned candle on the candlestick, stared at the candle and said, "Compared to those three people, Konoha is the biggest problem in my heart. I need to take back the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Rain. First let Konoha Or the Kingdom of Fire will have a chance when it becomes chaotic, and then deal with those three people."

"But…"

Nagato stood up from the seat and interrupted Hei Ze's speech:

"Nothing. Konoha... the power of the Fire Nation is too strong. The stronger the Fire Nation, the more we have to rely on it to survive. Konoha and the Fire Nation are our number one enemy. The most important thing Yes, Konoha is on the bright side, and it is easier to target. I don’t know how long it will take to find those three people.”

Seeing that Nagato has made up his mind, Hei Jue and Bai Jue can only agree.

What Nagato said is also true, the power of Fire Country and Konoha is too strong.

Especially the current Naruto is the yellow flash who is famous in the ninja world. In the future, Konoha will only become stronger and stronger.

"By the way, Bai Jue at the border of the Land of Rain has received very interesting news."

Bai Jue remembered something.

"what news?"

"Hatake Kakashi, that yellow flashing student, sneaked into the Land of Rain not long ago, and seems to be planning to investigate the prospecting."

"Exploring?"

Nagato frowned.

He hated this new leader who had usurped Hanzo's power and now commanded Yu Yin.

What's more, the current Hanzo has long been reduced to an obedient lackey of Konoha, dominating the rain and constantly eliminating dissidents.

If he hadn't been afraid of Konoha's power, he would have already attacked him.

Nagato felt more and more that his decision was correct.

If Konoha is not allowed to become confused, the situation in the Land of Rain and Umein will only get worse.

"Yes. There seems to be a little accident in Kanzang's human trafficking with Danzo. If the yellow flash gets the evidence... Hehe, Konoha will be interesting, and then we will see how Danzo ends up."

Bai Jue smiled gloatingly.

"Don't be too happy. Yellow Flash just took over as Hokage, so I'm afraid it may not be able to pose a threat to Danzo. However, this is indeed a good opportunity, so let's take advantage of it a little bit."

A gleam appeared in Nagato's eyes.

◎

Led by three Anbu subordinates, Kakashi rushed from Konoha to the border of the Land of Rain in just one day and one night. Before officially entering the border of the Land of Rain, Kakashi's Anbu team rested for half a day and recovered all their strength. After physical strength and chakra, he began to enter the land of rain.

The Land of Rain, which has been away from war for two years, did not achieve peace immediately, but was even more chaotic than during the war.

Bandits and wandering ninjas are rampant everywhere, and corpses are exposed in the wilderness every day.

Entering this country, when encountering battles, are all normal things.

Even a Jnin like Kakashi must be fully prepared.

The three subordinates in the team, one special Jnin and two Zhongnin, although their strength is good, but if they encounter real masters, they may not be of much use at all.

After all, the Anbu team has just been formed. There are neither medical ninjas nor sensory ninjas in the team, and the lineup is quite shabby.

Kakashi was just trying his best for this mission.

According to the information provided by Water Gate, it seems that there are often people who carry out criminal operations of human trafficking at the junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain.

The number of people involved is as many as several hundred.

Kakashi didn't know what was hidden behind the human trafficking.

In short, confirming the truth of the matter as soon as possible is Kakashi's top priority.

At that time, it is inevitable to fight a powerful ninja.

It is impossible to control such a large amount of population transactions without the manipulation of powerful ninjas behind them.

While he was on his way in the Land of Rain, Kakashi suddenly noticed something and gestured for the three behind him to stop.

The three of them stopped according to Kakashi's order, and together with Kakashi, they looked at the person blocking the way in the rain, with surprised eyes.

"Master Ziraiya, why are you here?"

The person who was caught in the rain on the path ahead was tall and tall, with long white hair reaching his waist. He was Jiraiya, one of the Sannin.

Kakashi and the others were surprised by Jiraiya's arrival.

"Don't worry, Kakashi, I was entrusted by Minato to carry out this investigation mission with you."

"A mission with us?"

Kakashi was puzzled, with a cautious tone in his tone.

"That's right, Minato feels that the mission you are performing is a bit dangerous, and there may be accidents if it is entrusted to you, so please ask me to come and assist you soon after you set off."

Zilai also explained.

As he spoke, he gave Kakashi and the others the transfer order written by Minato himself for confirmation.

Only then did Kakashi's team believe that Jiraiya was also a helper entrusted by Minato to assist them in completing the mission together.

"Then I will trouble you, Master Ziraiya. If you were here, this mission would go much smoother."

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he didn't know who was manipulating this matter behind the scenes, and if someone came over to help, the situation would be much better, at least in terms of safety, it shouldn't be a problem.

That Samsara-eyed guy staring at the Land of Rain from nowhere, just thinking about it makes him feel extremely scary.

"I hope so. I came to the Land of Rain not necessarily because of Minato's request."

Jiraiya answered ~www.readwn.com~ Jiraiya-sama, do you have any other things to do? "

"Well, it's something old."

Jiraiya looked at the gray rain scene around him, his eyes were gloomy.

Nagato, how are you doing now? Are you still alive, or are you...

Since then, I have thought of this, and I dare not think about it anymore.

No matter what, he wanted to find the three Nagatos. He wanted to see people in life and corpses in death.

Hopefully it won't be the worst of the worst.

However, Zilai also knew that most of the Nagato trio had died in the war that took place in the Land of Rain two years ago.

Sure enough, the son of prophecy is Minato? Zilai also murmured in his heart.
