Chapter 75 Main Mission 5: The Five Kage of Konoha Gather
The fact that the Akatsuki organization was targeting the Jinchūriki caused quite a stir in the ninja world two years ago. This time, the reaction of the Sand Village or the Kazekage was too abnormal, and all the ninja villages began to speculate on conspiracy.
For example, the Kazekage was threatened by the Akatsuki organization, or the Sand Village was actually controlled by the Akatsuki organization. Some even speculated that the Sand Village was the headquarters of the Akatsuki organization...
As an allied village, Konoha also took this matter very seriously. After hearing about it, Tsuna sent Team 7 to the Sand Village to express his condolences.
Originally, the Kazekage was attacked by the Akatsuki organization, and Konoha wanted to send support, but the Kazekage denied that the Akatsuki organization had attacked the Sand Village.
Therefore, Konoha had to change its statement and sent Team 7 led by Kakashi over in the name of condolences and exchange of ninjutsu. As for the actual purpose, of course, it was to find out what the current situation of the Sand Village was.
Since it is unclear whether the Sand Village is under the control of the Akatsuki organization, Tsuna sends out the third team led by Might Guy for secret support for safety reasons.
The two teams went to the Sand Village in the Land of Wind one after another. As the team in the open, Kakashi was personally received by the Kazekage Gaara.
Gaara and Naruto have been friends since the Chunin Exam, but after that Gaara became a candidate for Kazekage. In order to be qualified for the position of Kazekage, Gaara has been busy studying for the past two years.
In order not to be left behind by Sasuke who went abroad to study, Naruto has not slacked off in the past two years, so the two have not met since the Chunin Exam.
This time when they met again, before the two of them said anything, Shuhe and Kurama spoke first.
"Little devil, let me out. This time I will make sure that stupid fox knows how powerful I am!"
"Ming Ren, let me out. I will let the stinky cat know who is the most powerful!"
Hearing the sounds of the two tailed beasts, Naruto and Gaara looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The people around were confused because this was a unique mode of telepathic communication between the tailed beast and the Jinchūriki, and outsiders could not hear it.
The ostensible purpose of Team 7's visit this time was to exchange ninjutsu. As the host, Gaara took the initiative to invite Naruto to a sparring match in the desert outside the Sand Village. However, before the two of them could even decide who was the winner, Kurama and Shukaku could not wait to come out and replace the two of them...
In addition to the communication between Naruto and Gaara, Haruno Sakura also had a sparring match with Kankuro, the puppeteer of the Sand Village.
Sai, who came with them, did not participate. Instead, Tenten from Team 3 had another match with Temari, her rival during the Chunin Exams.
The part where Team 7 and Team 3 explored the Sand Village was also drawn into the comic. The final result was of course that nothing was discovered, and the Sand Village and the Kazekage looked normal.
However, the trip of the Konoha ninja was not completely without gain, because the ninjutsu competition between the ninjas of the two villages was very exciting.
On the way back, Team 7 led by Kakashi and Team 3 led by Might Guy had a competition to see who could run back to Konoha Village first.
The students in Class 3 are better at physical training and usually have more physical training, so in the competition between the two classes, Class 3 has the advantage, but the final result is a draw, because Sai drew a large ink bird as a mount and became the first person to return to the village, tying the total scores of the two classes...
Shingon originally wanted to take Naruto to the Sand Village to meet Gaara, but he didn't expect that the two of them met through this mission, so he didn't have to show up anymore.
As for the mission with the Akatsuki organization, Zhenyan also temporarily paused it because a regular school for non-ninjas in Konoha Village has been built and has officially started recruiting students during this year's enrollment season.
This is also another major change in Konoha after the agricultural and sideline industry development plan.
Zhenyan felt that at this historic moment, the three honorary principals should be invited back.
Shingon went to Tsunayoshi to discuss the matter: "Sister Tsunayoshi, I have talked to Grandpa Shoda before. Now that there is a new school, we should invite Grandpa Shoda back to give a speech to the new students. The enrollment of the Ninja School has been completed. Should we invite Grandpa Shoda back before the school starts? And the other two Hokages should also be invited back as honorary principals."
Gang folded her arms around her chest and leaned back in her chair. She stared at Zhenyan's chattering mouth. When Zhenyan stopped, she couldn't help but ask, "Have you considered the impact?"
"What impact?" Zhenyan thought it was a good thing to invite the honorary principal back.
"Have you considered the impact of the deceased Hokage reappearing in the village or appearing in public?" Looking at Shinon's completely unconscious look, Tsunade didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
After listening to Tsunayoshi's words, Shingon thought about it seriously.
"The appearance of the Hokage will indeed have some impact." Shingon organized his words and then began to list them. "First of all, the strength of the three Hokage is obvious to all, especially the first Hokage, who is recognized by the ninja world as the 'God of Ninja'."
"What does this have to do with influence?" Tsunade couldn't help but interrupt.
"It's a big deal." Shingen said, "After the death of the first grandfather, the First Ninja World War broke out. Just a few decades later, the Second and Third Ninja World Wars broke out."
"This is the turmoil caused by the death of the God of Ninjas. Now, if we invite the first generation of Grandpa back to show everyone that the God of Ninjas has not really left, what will be the impact?"
Shingon asked a question here, but he didn't wait for Tsuna to answer, and continued: "First of all, for Konoha, seeing the return of the God of Ninja can enhance the villagers' self-confidence and sense of belonging, and can also enhance the villagers' cohesion and collective sense of honor, and promote the unity of different castes in the village. If everyone is pulled into a rope, the village will become indestructible. Therefore, in the internal situation, the first generation grandfather is the cornerstone of stabilizing people's hearts."
Master: “…………”
"The second is external affairs. When the first generation grandfather passed away, the ninja world lost its stability and the whole world was shaken. So in terms of external affairs, the first generation grandfather was the stabilizing force."
Master: “…………”
Seeing that Tsunayoshi didn't respond, Shingon felt that what he had just said might be a little obscure and difficult to understand, so he summarized it in a popular way: "To sum it up, the God of Ninjas belongs to me, I am proud, I am proud, and when others see that the God of Ninjas belongs to me, they are jealous and dare not act rashly."
Master: “…………”
After the truth was said, he looked at Tsunayuki who had not responded, and thought that the Hokage had tacitly agreed: "If there is nothing else for you, Sister Tsunayuki, I will go to Uncle Orochimaru and invite the three Hokage masters back."
"Wait a minute..." Gangshou suddenly called out to him. She looked at Zhenyan and moved her mouth but said nothing.
Tsunade actually wanted to say that the "influence" she was talking about was a negative influence, but after listening to what Zhenyan said just now, she suddenly found that she couldn't say some of the negative influences she was thinking of...
Zhenyan stopped and looked at Tsunayuki: "Sister Tsunayuki, is there anything else you want me to do?"
Tsuna's eyes stayed on Manabu's face. She looked at Manabu's bright and confident face, and the words she was about to refute stopped at her lips again...
Tsuna held her forehead with her hand, raised her other hand, waved it weakly, and said, "Go ahead, bring the person back to me first." "Okay." Zhenyan agreed with a smile, "Sister Tsuna, I'll go first!"
Seeing Zhenyan walking away happily, Gangshou turned around and asked Jingyin who was holding Tuntun beside him: "Is this kid becoming more and more lawless?"
Jingyin smiled and said, "Master Tsunade is smiling more and more."
"Pu-yo, pu-yo." Tun-tun also echoed with two sentences.
Gangshou was stunned for a moment, then slammed the table and said, "Jingyin, you are learning from that kid, and you are becoming more and more disrespectful!"
Jingyin was not frightened by Tsuna's pretended anger. She still had a smile on her face: "Master Tsuna, I think the village is great now."
Gangshou looked in the direction where Zhenyan left, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, but he still said stubbornly: "I'm afraid that kid will overturn the sky for me in the future..."
The truth will not stir up trouble, but it will summon the ancestors from heaven.
Of course, this is all something in the future. Now Shingon used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to Orochimaru's base. After meeting Orochimaru, he went straight to the point and said he wanted to meet the three Hokage.
"What is Shingon-kun going to do this time?" Orochimaru asked curiously.
"Konoha has built a new school. I would like to invite the three Hokage to come back and give a speech." Shingon looked at Orochimaru and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Orochimaru, do you want to go back with me to attend the opening ceremony for new students? And by the way, listen to the speeches of the three Hokage and receive education again."
Orochimaru: "No, the knowledge taught in ninja school is already outdated for me."
"Uncle Snake Pill misunderstood." Zhenyan said, "I meant preschool education. I think Uncle Snake Pill can go back and listen to the stories told by the first generation grandfather to make up for his childhood."
Orochimaru: “…………”
Orochimaru looked at Shingon and suddenly smiled. He said, "I do have regrets that need to be made up."
"What?"
Orochimaru fixed his eyes on Shingon: "A perfect reincarnation vessel."
Zhenyan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Uncle Shewan, you have the wrong person. You forgot that I have mixed spiritual roots."
Orochimaru: “…………”
Having been tripped by the trap he had dug, Orochimaru was speechless...
But Zhenyan talked about something else: "Will Uncle Snake Pill go back to be a teacher?"
Konoha School is expanding and is in need of teachers. Shinon feels that Orochimaru's talent should not be wasted.
"Not interested." Orochimaru is a perfectionist. He teaches Sasuke with all his heart because Sasuke has good qualifications and is pleasing to his eye. If he were asked to teach a group of students, he would definitely not have the patience.
"Oh." Zhenyan had expected this and did not force it. Instead, he said, "Then let Kimimaro stay as a teacher."
In the past two years, Kimimaro has been receiving treatment in Konoha, and the hematuria has been brought under control.
After his condition improved, Kimimaro always wanted to return to Orochimaru's base. Shingon felt that Kimimaro was also a talent and that he couldn't be let go easily after he had finally recovered from his illness.
But Kimimaro didn't listen to anyone else and only followed the orders of Orochimaru.
This time, Orochimaru did not hesitate and agreed directly: "Let the child stay in Konoha."
Shingo looked at Orochimaru in surprise: "I didn't expect that Uncle Orochimaru could be so heartwarming sometimes."
"I just want to keep an eye in Konoha." Orochimaru broke Managa's warm fantasy.
Shingon smiled, but he did not continue to point out the fact that even though Orochimaru had spies in Konoha, he could not do anything.
Orochimaru was reborn as three Hokage. After explaining the situation to Shingon, he brought the three Hokage, who were also three honorary principals, back to Konoha.
This time, Konoha set a historical precedent by establishing a school for ordinary people. It was indeed a big event. In addition to the three honorary principals, Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze and Kushina who were away were also called back.
Therefore, this year's freshman opening ceremony was an opening ceremony where five shadows gathered together.
The five Kage standing together wearing the unified Shinto robes are the most beautiful idol group in the entire ninja world.
Shingon gave the five people a resounding nickname - Konoha F5.
Full name: Konoha Fire Kage Quintet.
Taking advantage of the gathering of the five Kage, Shingon took out the authorizations of the previous three Kage and asked Minato Namikaze to sign one as well. In the end, only Tsunayoshi was left.
Shingon said nothing, just watched eagerly, and the other four Hokage also looked at Tsuna.
Master: “…………”
"Xiao Gang, you haven't signed for Shingen yet?" asked Hashirama Senju in surprise.
Tsuna looked at the four Hokage who were supporting Manabu, and Manabu's innocent yet slightly smug expression. She felt that if things continued like this, Manabu might really poke a hole in the sky.
It is not advisable to spoil your children. The mastermind decided to be the bad guy parent: "What's the use of that kind of thing?"
"Of course it is useful." Shingen spoke, speaking the truth, "Last time I used Wood Release to build a house for the new campus, Elder Danzo found out and sent Root ninjas to capture me. In the end, I showed him the authorization letter, so I was not captured."
Shingon took the opportunity to complain, "Second-generation Grandpa, Elder Danzo said that I stole Wood Release. Kakashi can testify for me. That day, Elder Danzo brought ten burly men to my house. I was so scared that I hid behind Kakashi and didn't dare to open the door."
Kakashi who was called: “…………”
"Kakashi, do you think this is what I said that day?" Zhenyan was like a child who was bullied and sued his parents, and even dragged his friends to testify for him.
"Yes...Shinagao hid behind me that day..." Kakashi said. Although he was the one who forcibly pulled her behind him, she was indeed behind him. "I opened the door. Elder Danzo brought ten Root ninjas to the door and wanted to take Shinagao away on the charge of stealing Wood Release."
Senju Tobirama did not expect this to happen, and his expression immediately became serious.
At the school's opening ceremony, the five Hokage appeared on stage together. The first Hokage gave an inspiring speech, and then the principal Jiraiya gave a speech. The five Hokage temporarily sat in the audience seats, which is now.
Senju Tobirama glanced at the front row of the audience. This year's opening ceremony was an event that could be recorded in the history books, so the entire Konoha's high-ranking officials, including the two elders and the heads of various families, were present. And next to the high-ranking seats was an elite jonin like Kakashi...
Senju Tobirama looked around and didn't see Shimura Danzo, so he asked the Third Hokage: "Monkey, where is Danzo?"
The Third Hokage was reborn together with the First and Second Hokage. He had no idea what the current situation of Konoha Village was like, so he looked at Tsuna.
And Tsuna was frowning. The last time Shimura Danzo went to see Shingon, he was fought back by Shingon with the authorization of the Three Kages, and there was no movement at all.
In addition, Shingon said that he had already reported the matter of Danzo to the Hokage, so Kakashi, the only person who knew about it, did not report it to the Hokage.
This also led to the trouble that Tsuna didn't know that Danzo had ever looked for the truth.
Originally, Tsuna was still considering how to handle the matter of Shimura Danzo in a low profile. After all, Shimura Danzo was one of the top leaders of Konoha, and the exposure of the scandal would affect the reputation of Konoha. But she didn't expect that Shimura Danzo would even interfere in their Senju's family affairs?
In Tsuna's eyes, Mana is a family member, and the matter of Wood Release is also a family matter. Shimura Danzo bypassed her and attacked Mana, which has touched her bottom line.
Tsunade looked at Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu. Danzo Shimura had not shown up during this period of time, and she thought the two elders might know something.
For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, and the two looked at each other. They hadn't seen Shimura Danzo for a long time, and they didn't know why Shimura Danzo didn't attend today's opening ceremony.
"Elder Danzo also took away Brother Shisui's eyes." Shingon added fuel to the fire at this time.
"Shisui?" Senju Tobirama was a little unfamiliar with the name.
"They are the descendants of Kagami." The Third Hokage explained.
Senju Tobirama's face was completely dark. He probably couldn't find peace even if he returned to the Pure Land, so after the opening ceremony, he didn't leave immediately, but stayed in Konoha to deal with matters related to Danzo. !
