Chapter 22 Undercurrent

In the 60th year of Konoha, a Chunin exam that should have been ordinary was destined to be recorded in the history of the ninja world.

The Sand Ninja and the Sound Ninja jointly attacked Konoha Village.

Orochimaru, one of the former three ninjas of Konoha, successfully killed his master.

The Third Hokage, who had been in the ninja world for more than 40 years and was known as the "ninja hero", died.

The Fourth Kazekage disappeared.

A man who was on par with gods reappeared in the world.

This series of explosive news turned the ninja world, which had been peaceful for many years, upside down.

Not only Konoha lost its leader, but the Sand Ninja continued to move.

The Cloud Ninja, Rock Ninja, Mist Ninja, and other large village forces that stayed out of the matter, as well as other small and medium-sized ninja villages, and major ninja organizations were surging undercurrents.

Many old people who had experienced the war could not help but frown.

The current situation made them feel that the situation had changed suddenly and the war was coming again.

I hope this is just an illusion.

In a prosperous casino in the Land of Fire.

In the noisy and lively environment of "Big! Big!", "Small! Small!", "All in!", "I won! Hahaha!", "Ahhh! Kill me!", etc.

A mature and beautiful woman wearing a tea-green "gambling" gown, light golden ponytails tied behind her head, and a white chest that was particularly majestic, excitedly grabbed the exchanged chips, and the black-haired woman holding a pink fragrant pig beside her was heartbroken and helpless, and put them into the slot machine in front of her one by one.

A few minutes later.

Hual ... Although she had won money, she looked like she had lost a lot of money and she placed another bet on the slot machine.

Just like before, the money kept rolling in.

Shizune, who was glad that she didn't have to sleep on the street tonight, quickly stepped forward to hold the shaky mountain of chips.

Tsunade didn't move again, and no one knew what she was thinking.

At this time, the sound of several gamblers talking nearby just reached their ears.

"Have you heard that Konoha was attacked by the Sand Ninja and an unknown small ninja village, and the Third Hokage was killed in the battle."

"How could such a powerful Third Hokage be killed?"

"The one who did it was Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas, who was once the direct disciple of the Third Hokage."

"Is Orochimaru so powerful?"

"Of course not. I also heard a rumor that the missing Fourth Kazekage was also killed by Orochimaru."

"I can't imagine it!!! If it's true, Orochimaru killed two of the Five Kage by himself."

"."

"By the way, speaking of the Five Kage, I also found out a piece of news. The man who was as famous as the First Hokage, who once killed one of the Five Kage and disabled one of them, and who was said to be on par with God, also appeared at the Chunin Exam this time, and I heard that he left Konoha. "" How could it be alive with the first generation of Naruto? " Today's valley was built for him. The chips in your hands were crushed. "Here!" Shizune straightened her back quickly.

"Pack up, let's go." Tsunade ordered.

"Okay!" Shizune quickly packed up, and at the same time did not forget to ask, "Tsunade-sama, are we going back to Konoha?"

Tsunade's eyes were a little complicated, but she quickly put it aside and said,

"Konoha? No! Let's go to the next casino!"

"Really?"

Shizune was stunned.

At the same time.

The Konoha ninjas and villagers who had just held the funeral for the Third Hokage were dressed in black and left in silence.

Jiraiya, who was in the middle, was stopped by two Konoha consultants.

"Hiratsune is no longer here. Although we have established an emergency executive committee, it can only be managed for a while. Konoha needs a new Hokage. Jiraiya, you can be the fifth generation."

Utatane Koharu didn't waste any words and directly pointed out the topic.

Mitomon En on the side followed up and said, "Jiraiya, now you are the only one in Konoha Village who is most qualified to be the Hokage, don't refuse again."

In the eyes of the two advisors, Jiraiya and Tsunade, Hiruzen's disciples, are the most qualified to become the fifth Hokage.

Now Tsunade is nowhere to be found, and the best choice is Jiraiya who is close at hand.

As for their old friend Shimura Danzo.

Although they know that the other party is obsessed with the position of Hokage, if there is a choice, they still don't want this person who has been buried in the dark for too long and is too cold and tough to come to the front.

The word "Hokage" is undoubtedly the dream of most people.

But Jiraiya is not included.

Hearing the two advisors say this, as if taking over a hot potato, Jiraiya shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, no! I can't be a Hokage, don't look for me!"

Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En continued to persuade.

Jiraiya couldn't resist and sold Tsunade out:

"Let's go find Tsunade. She's more suitable to be the fifth generation."

"Don't worry, my toad will find her soon."

"I will definitely bring her back!!!"

In the underground base called "Root", which is more solemn than the funeral scene of the third generation.

Sitting in the dark, Danzo Shicun supported his crutches with both hands and remained silent for a long time.

Until a certain moment, he said in a low voice with a complicated expression:

"Hiruzen."

"Danzo-sama." A Root ninja came over.

"What's the matter?" Danzo Shicun regained his composure and said in a cold voice.

The Root ninja reported: "The upper echelons of Konoha decided that Jiraiya would come forward and bring Tsunade back to serve as the fifth generation Hokage."

"Tsunade?"

Danzo Shicun was not surprised.

Tsunade, who was born in the Senju era, established the Konoha medical system and saved countless Konoha ninjas, is indeed the most qualified to be the Hokage, even though she has left Konoha for many years.

In another timeline, even if it is Shicun Danzo himself, he will not really come out of the darkness and serve as the temporary sixth generation until Tsunade is in a coma and Konoha is leaderless.

"Wait a little longer."

Shicun Danzo found that he was not as impatient as he imagined at this moment.

Perhaps it was because of Hiruzen's death.

He shook his head slightly, and the next second he resumed his dark posture and ordered in a cold voice:

"Send someone to tell Orochimaru that I have something to say to him."

"In addition, order the Root Ninja to search for the whereabouts of Hagoromo Gengetsu with all his strength. I want to know what he has done during this period of time."

Hagoromo Gengetsu, a person as famous as Senju Hashirama, is definitely not as dangerous as the old fools like Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En think.

Even if he is dead now.

Judging others by his own experience, Shicun Danzo believed that Yuyi Xuanyue must have some shocking plan to get rid of the shackles of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.

Such a person who has a grudge against Konoha must not be left out and ignored.

So.

Find him!

Imprison him!

Dig out all the knowledge and secrets in him!

Finally use it for yourself!

Shimura Danzo stomped his cane hard, and his one eye burst into an extremely devouring light.
