Chapter 178 After the War
There were raging floods in the village, and there were still vines and trees with strong vitality that were still growing out of the soil. The air was filled with yellow sand and pollen.
Countless villagers fell in a pool of blood. Starting from the place where the Sand Village ninja summoned the giant snake at the entrance of the village, all the way to the site of the Chunin Exam, all the buildings higher than three meters had basically disappeared, and the bodies of ninjas and villagers were scattered all over the place.
The director of the Kampo Hospital of Konoha was organizing people to provide first aid. Ino's fifty shadow clones, along with the clone of the Slug Sage, immediately joined the rescue. If they saw someone with pollen allergies, they would recommend them to go to the mountain flower shop to buy medicine. If they were sick, they should be treated early. The villagers took the initiative to carry out the rescue. The owner of the barbecue restaurant, the owner of Ichiraku Ramen, the owner of Kanrikan, Mandiantang, and Jieitang all came out to help save people.
Senior students from the Konoha Ninja School also came out of the shelter. When these half-grown children saw the tragic situation in the village, they all offered to help.
Naruto was very inspired when he saw Ino's fifty shadow clones. I'm familiar with this trick. Let's create five hundred shadow clones!
Sasuke and Sakura both joined the rescue efforts.
Everyone, including Asuma, his own son, believed that the Third Hokage who used the Shiki Fuujin had been killed. The two advisors gave orders while quietly discussing the selection of the new Hokage.
They are similar to Lu Jiu and have a clear understanding of themselves. It's okay to let them give some advice and make a few sarcastic remarks, but it's not enough to let them make the final decision.
Neither of them had any intention of becoming Hokage, they just wanted to continue being their own advisors. Thirty years would not be too little, and fifty years would not be too much.
How great it is to be an advisor! In war, the Hokage is there to support you. In normal times, you are in a high position and have great power. If something goes wrong, you are just giving advice and not taking responsibility! "How about... Danzo?" Utane Koharu asked in a low voice.
Mito Kado En slowly shook his head. Danzo would confront anyone he met, except for the village beauty Utane Koharu who he gave some face to. In the F4 group, the other two male compatriots had been confronted by him countless times.
Mizuto Menen doesn't want to see Danzo's dead face every day.
Moreover, Danzo is too cruel and unruly.
"The Daimyo will not agree to Danzo becoming Hokage." He nodded his chin and motioned for Utane Koharu to look at the man with white hair and a bright red coat in the distance, who was Jiraiya who had just rushed over from the village entrance to provide support.
What do you mean? As a woman, Uta-ne Koharu naturally has a bad impression of Jiraiya, who is like a sex-hungry ghost. The old man of the third generation always peeks around with a crystal ball. I have to open a barrier to take a bath. What's going on now? Should I continue to be on guard?
The old lady shook her head vigorously and said, No!
Tsunade, Kakashi, and even Shikaku were all within their consideration, and the two studied in low voices.
It turned out that Naruto really was a pure-hearted person. When he saw the Third Hokage lying on the ground like a corpse, he immediately rushed over and cried.
After shouting twice, he found that the Third Hokage was still alive, but his breath was extremely weak.
"That?" Seeing that everyone was busy, he wanted to call someone to treat the third generation, but he didn't know who to call for a moment.
Kakashi hadn't returned to the village yet. Asuma had just led people to the village entrance. Iruka and the others were busy saving people. Ino? He was afraid that Ino's healing technique would kill the beloved third-generation grandfather. He gestured repeatedly and called Sakura to him.
Sakura-chan has strong healing abilities and she graduated from Tsunade in just two years. She is indeed very talented in the field of medical ninjutsu, but she has just obtained the medical ninjutsu from the "First Hokage" and just bought a fish last night. How can she know any medical ninjutsu now?
"What? What happened?" Jiraiya saw Naruto's anxious look and immediately came over to help.
Naruto's trust in the "lecherous sage" is not as high as it would be three years later. If Jiraiya takes his wallet now and then buys him a popsicle and doesn't give him the whole one but only breaks it in half to fool him, he will definitely be furious.
But this was an acquaintance after all, so he told her that three generations were still alive.
Jiraiya looked at the Third Generation and also discovered an extremely faint aura.
He quickly called Ino's shadow clone and Slug Sage. Ino didn't mention it, but Slug Sage's healing ability was trustworthy.
More and more people gathered here, including Konohamaru who was crying and shouting, the Third Hokage's cronies, Morino Ibiki, Bizuki Reito, Shiranui Genma, Uzuki Yugao and other senior ninjas.
The two advisors also came to their senses at this time. What? The Sandaime is still alive? He is still alive after using the Shiki Fuujin? This is not a ninja!
The two looked embarrassed, but still rushed over to see the Slug Sage treating the Third Hokage.
A large amount of fairy chakra was infused into it, and the heartbeat of the third generation was finally heard by several people.
Time soon turned into evening, and many villagers and ninjas whose homes were destroyed and whose lives were lost had to spend the night in tents.
The 15th Ino-Shika-Chou and the 16th Great Ino-Shika-Chou gathered together to discuss the next response measures of the three families. In other words, to invest in the new Hokage, who to invest in, and how much resources to invest.
In fact, for the Ino-Lu-Cho alliance, it is most in line with the interests of the three parties if Shikaku takes the throne. He is definitely one of their own, but he gave up on his own.
"I think Lady Tsunade is more suitable," Shikaku said.
As soon as Tsunade returned to the village, he took Shikamaru to "report on his work". In addition, the Nara family has been providing deer antlers to the Konoha Hospital for a long time, which proves that the two sides have a good personal relationship.
The Akimichi family is friends with everyone.
The Yamanaka family originally had an average relationship with Tsunade, but now with Ino here, the relationship instantly became close.
If Haiyi retires now and Ino inherits the position of head of the family, it will not be an exaggeration to say that the Yamanaka family is the direct line of the Hokage.
Seeing the three of them nod, Ino said, "I will leave the village tomorrow and persuade the teacher to return to the village."
Shikaku was very good at observing people's expressions and had enough information. He found a clue from Ino's expression and couldn't help but frown and asked, "Could it be that Lady Tsunade's illness has not been cured in all these years?"
Shikamaru and Choji didn't know what disease this was talking about, so they didn't say anything.
Haiyi and Dingzuo's expressions changed slightly. This was indeed not good news.
No matter how much the two advisors, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, are criticized, they still have to go to the battlefield and kill people at critical moments.
How can a ninja who can't see blood become a Hokage? Shikaku didn't intend to explain to his son and fat nephew, and asked, "How serious is it?"
“It’s just very serious.”
The three families immediately adjusted their plans. Ino was still going to persuade Tsunade, at least to have the attitude of "we thought of you first". If Tsunade disagreed, then she would ask her who she supported.
