Traveling through Naruto, the Nine-Tails is gone

When the news of Sarutobi Hiruzen's death reached Danzo Shimura's ears, Danzo felt both surprise and sadness.

After all, he had been competing with Sarutobi Hiruzen for most of his life, and both of them were apprentices of the Second Hokage, so the bond between them was quite deep. Sarutobi Hiruzen's sudden death made him somewhat sad.

However, Danzo was determined to become the Hokage and take power over the entire Konoha. He also always wanted Sarutobi Hiruzen to die and reincarnate as soon as possible. After all, he clearly remembered what Sarutobi Hiruzen said to him.

The sentence"Danzo, I am the Hokage" has always been a thorn in his heart.

As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen is still alive, Danzo will never be able to become Hokage in this life.

Now that Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead, Danzo immediately visited the two veteran advisers of Konoha, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En.

"You two should all know about Hiruzen's death." Danzo, who was leaning on a cane with thick bandages wrapped around his right hand and right eye, said calmly.

How could Utane Koharu and Mitomon En not understand Shimura Danzo's intention? It was obvious to everyone.

"Danzo, you are too impatient!" Utatane Koharu looked displeased. But

Shimura Danzo had a defiant look on his face:"Impatient? No, there is a saying that a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a village cannot be without a shadow for a day. Now that Hiruzen has been killed, Konoha has once again fallen into unprecedented weakness. Therefore, we should decide on a new Hokage as soon as possible to command and guide Konoha to overcome this difficulty."

Of course, the two of them would not believe Danzo's lies. Moreover, although the death of Sarutobi Hiruzen weakened Konoha Village, the vacancy of the Hokage meant that these two seemingly powerless consultants could also take the opportunity to seize some power.

Therefore, Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En did not want the next Hokage to be elected so soon. It would be fine to choose a new Hokage after they have divided their own cakes and digested them. Anyway, it is impossible for them to run for the position of Hokage with their age and physical fitness. However, with the prestige they have accumulated in Konoha for so many years, if they make some small moves, other families will definitely turn a blind eye and regard it as a loss.

"You don't have to worry about this. You should know the information about the Hidden Mist Village. Their Fourth Mizukage was also killed, and they still haven't chosen a new Mizukage." Mitokado En thought about it and refuted Danzo.

"The Hidden Mist Village? You don't want to think about the geographical location of the Land of Water. The entire Land of Water is a huge island country located in the center of the ocean with a natural defense barrier."

Danzo paused and said again:"What about our Land of Fire? Don't think that with other small countries as a buffer on the border, you can stop the ambitions of the other three countries. At this time, Konoha is weak. Except for the Land of Wind, if the other two countries receive intelligence, they may not dare to take the opportunity to make things difficult for Konoha Village!"

Koharu Utatane's face was gloomy and he immediately retorted:"Is our Konoha really as weak as you said? Apart from Hiruzen's death, the losses of other ninjas are not great, right?"

Danzo Shimura shook the ground with his cane:"Absurd, Hiruzen's strength is not inferior to mine, and do you think that the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village will think that our Konoha will still be as strong as ever after the death of the Hokage? Put your hopes on the mercy of the enemy? I think you two are really confused!"

"you……"Utane Koharu and Mitomon En were somewhat speechless after being refuted by Danzo.

In the end, the two of them also knew the pros and cons, but they didn't want to see Danzo's power alone, because they also knew that Danzo's methods were too cruel and too dark, and they might not be able to keep their power at that time, so the two of them looked at each other and slowly changed their words.

"The election of Hokage is a matter of great importance. It would be too hasty for only the two of us to agree. How about this, isn't Jiraiya, Hiruzen's apprentice, also in Konoha now? Call him over as well, and summon the heads of the major families, and then we can discuss in the council and directly select the Hokage."

After hearing this, Shimura Danzo's eyes became extremely fierce:"It seems that you really don't want me to be Hokage."

Mito Kado En said frankly:"Danzo, don't slander me, we didn't say that, don't you have the confidence to win the consent of more than half of the family heads?"

Danzo remained silent, just staring at the two with murderous eyes, half a minute later, Danzo snorted coldly, slammed the door and left.

Just when Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En breathed a sigh of relief, they only needed to wait for the funeral of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then summon everyone to discuss who would take over as the new Hokage, but unexpectedly a masked Anbu ninja ran in hurriedly.

"Mr. Advisor, something bad has happened. The secret file room has been robbed and the sealed book has been stolen!"

"What?" The two were shocked and followed the Anbu to the secret room of the files to check.

When they arrived at the secret room of the files, they found that the protective barriers arranged here were all destroyed by violence.

And they also found that after the thief stole the scroll, he deliberately threw some special smoke bombs, the smell of which was strong and extremely pungent, similar to some enhanced deodorant, which could be said to have completely wiped out the original smell of the thief.

The two asked the Inuzuka family and the ninja dogs they trained to investigate, but they could not distinguish the original smell. There was no way, so they could only put the blame on Orochimaru and the Sand Village. Fortunately,

Konoha's ninjutsu is still relatively well preserved. After all, eggs cannot be put in one basket. Konoha has always had several backups for the Book of Sealed Ninjutsu and many powerful ninjutsu.

It is to ensure the ninjutsu. Even if the technique is stolen or robbed, it can still ensure the continuity of inheritance and ensure that Konoha can gain a firm foothold in the ninja world.

A few days later, the entire Konoha held a heavy and grand funeral for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

What puzzled Naruto was that the thief God was particularly thief, and a drizzle of rain was specially sent to see Sarutobi Hiruzen off.

But after thinking about it, forget it. After all, the dead are the greatest. This old bastard is finally dead. I am in a good mood and will not bother with you.

After the funeral, the sky cleared up. At this time, two uninvited guests came to the high wall outside the Konoha Village.

Both of them wore conical hats and black-bottomed high-collared red cloud robes, but the taller one carried a huge weapon wrapped in bandages. The tall man said:"Although it has escaped the disaster and has not been destroyed, from here, there are still many damaged places."

The shorter one said indifferently:"This village that was once so prosperous... It's really pitiful"

"This doesn't sound like your style. Are you nostalgic for your hometown? Even a rebellious person like you……"

"No, not at all."After saying that, he raised his head, and his pair of blood-red three-magatama Sharingan calmly looked at the Konoha in front of him.

……

The funeral was over. The next day, Koharu Utatane and En Mitokado immediately convened many people to hold a meeting, hoping to decide on a new Hokage as soon as possible.

For this purpose, Jiraiya, who was peeping outside the bathhouse, was caught. At first, everyone argued with each other, hoping that Jiraiya could be the new Hokage, but Jiraiya was used to being casual, and he didn't want to be bound by the position of a Hokage.

In the end, he also proposed that Tsunade could be the new Hokage. After discussing it, everyone had no objection, so they agreed that Jiraiya would go out to find Tsunade and let her take office as soon as possible.

However, Jiraiya was worried that he might not be able to convince Tsunade to be the Hokage, so he hoped to bring someone to help him persuade Tsunade to come back. The reason why Jiraiya wanted to bring Naruto was mainly because he had recently heard some information about the"Akatsuki" organization and guessed that the members of the Akatsuki organization would target the Nine-Tails.

Considering the strength of each member of the Akatsuki organization, he felt that Naruto's current comprehensive strength was at best at the level of an elite jonin.

Facing those S-rank wanted criminals of Akatsuki, who were at the lowest level of elite jonin, he was worried that if he was not with Naruto, Naruto would be attacked by those people, and his life might not be saved.

And the main purpose of his return to Konoha this time was to protect Naruto. After all, this was his apprentice's biological son. After so many years, he knew that the child was not living a happy life, so he wanted to take care of him more.

After learning that Jiraiya was going to take Naruto to find Tsunade, although everyone had concerns, they thought that Jiraiya's strength was very strong, and Naruto's strength seemed to be okay, so they all agreed.

Naruto, who was practicing with Sasuke here, didn't know that he was being coerced by Jiraiya on his own initiative.

You know, he just got a lot of ninjutsu and was practicing diligently, wanting to master them as quickly as possible. How could he have the mood and time to go with Jiraiya to find Tsunade.

In the Sand Village, the completely rotten and smelly body of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa was finally found in a mountain stream along the way. Maki, who rushed over, was furious when he saw this, and he was sure that the perpetrator was definitely Orochimaru.

But they could only be furious. They had no way of knowing the whereabouts of Orochimaru. In addition, the losses of this invasion of Konoha were quite heavy. They also submitted a letter of surrender to Konoha, and they would send someone to discuss compensation for Konoha in two days.

As for Orochimaru, he lost both hands, causing his current host body to be on the verge of collapse, and he was in pain all day.

Therefore, he decided to go with Kabuto Yakushi to find Tsunade, hoping to catch Tsunade and then let Tsunade heal his hands. In the early morning, Konoha was still filled with mist. At this time, a ninja guarding the gate of Konoha Village saw two figures in strange costumes quietly appearing not far from the gate, and was about to go forward to inquire.

But the shorter man in a black robe with red clouds raised his head slightly and glanced at him, and then he leaned against the door frame and fell asleep unconsciously.

Yes, at this time, Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame swaggered into Konoha.

The purpose of their coming was very simple, that is, they were assigned a task to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but this was just what Hoshigaki Kisame thought. For Uchiha Itachi, he just took advantage of this task to sound a warning to the top leaders of Konoha.

Let them wake up and don't think that just because Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead, they dare to attack their own brother, especially Shimura Danzo.

No matter what, he always has to show his muscles and let the people of Konoha know that he, an S-level wanted criminal, is always paying attention to Konoha.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead, his life remains the same, so the civilians of Konoha are also mobilized to start repairing the destroyed houses.

Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame hardly concealed their whereabouts. They walked and stopped along the way in Konoha Village. They would always sit down at various noodle stalls and teahouses to eat meatballs and drink two sips of tea, and eavesdrop on the latest situation in Konoha Village.

However, their whereabouts soon attracted the attention of Kakashi who was buying the new issue of"Intimate Paradise". At the same time, they also met Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai who were on a date and shopping.

Next, it was Kakashi who saw the clues and asked Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai to catch up first.

In this way, the identities of Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame were discovered. Asuma was so stubborn that he was cut on the arm by Hoshigaki Kisame with a big sword Samehada.

Yuhi Kurenai overestimated her own ability and wanted to use illusion to take down Uchiha Itachi, but it was Itachi who easily counterattacked.

Just when the two were in danger, Kakashi quickly came to help them temporarily get rid of the crisis.

However, Kakashi underestimated Itachi's strength. Even with the Sharingan, he was unable to block the Tsukuyomi illusion that Itachi cast on him.

As a result, he was stabbed by Itachi with a samurai sword for three days and three nights in the Tsukuyomi illusion, and his spirit was almost collapsed.

Fortunately, Might Guy also arrived in time. Itachi used the excuse that this place was inside the Konoha Village, which had caused unrest at the moment, and there would definitely be more ninjas coming. At that time, they might be trapped, which would be extremely unfavorable for them to capture the Jinchuriki.

Therefore, he asked Hoshigaki Kisame to escape with him immediately.

Although Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame left, Kakashi and the others also understood the purpose of Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame's visit from the words in the previous battle.

Therefore, he was very concerned about Naruto's safety.
