Chapter 70 After the War
The end of the Second Ninja War also announced that the entire ninja world would enter a period of peace.
Every Ninja Village hastily seized this time to develop itself.
After all, the main contradiction in the ninja world has not been eliminated, and war may come again at any time.
This ninja world war also brought many powerful ninjas to the stage, especially Konoha.
After the war, Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure Village, was revered as a demigod by the entire ninja world!
Such an arrogant and domineering title!
Being able to withstand the invasion of Konoha and Sunagakure at the same time with the strength of a small ninja village, Sansho Hanzo can be said to be at the top of the list.
Konoha's first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, is known as the God of Ninja, and Hanzo's title is equivalent to half of Senju Hashirama.
It can be said that this is the highest praise for a ninja in the ninja world today!
Except for Madara Uchiha, the ninja Shura who is hiding somewhere in a fake death, no one dares to touch Hanzo's edge at the moment.
The higher Hanzo's status is raised, the status of Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, who are recognized by Hanzo and given the title of Sannin, will also rise.
They are also recognized by the entire ninja world and are called the "legendary" Sannin!
In addition to the Konoha Sannin, Namikaze Minato, who joined the battlefield later and is now only 16 years old, also received the title of "Golden Flash".
On the Kirigakure battlefield, Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique shows off its power!
Kirigakure's so-called assassination ninjutsu is completely inadequate in front of Namikaze Minato!
On the contrary, Minato's movement technique of coming and going without a trace is more like an assassination ninja.
Not to mention ordinary Kirigakure assassination ninjas, even jounin-level existences are not the one-in-one enemy of Namikaze Minato!
As soon as he entered the battlefield, Namikaze Minato was like chopping melons and vegetables.
Finally, if we want to say who has the greatest contribution to Konoha's side in this ninja war, it must be Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumoge.
Hatake Sakumo not only served as the commander-in-chief of the entire Second Ninja War Konoha, but also had records of fighting with the four major ninja villages.
His sharp sword skills, powerful strength, and unpredictable tactics made other ninja villages gnash their teeth at Hatake Sakumo.
To be honest with my conscience, the Four Ninja Villages would like to tell you why Hatake Sakumo is not one of ours.
Now Hatake Sakumo's bounty on the black market has reached 200 million!
And this bounty has been matched with the shadows of each village.
Generally, the bounty for genin is between one hundred thousand and one million, for chunin, between one million and ten million, and for jounin, the bounty is generally between ten million and less than one hundred million.
Only "Shadow" is eligible for a reward worth hundreds of millions.
It is obvious that the Ninja Village now feels that Hatake Sakumo is worthy of the treatment of "Kage".
Even after the Second Ninja War ended, the Fire Country Daimyo proposed to the Third Hokage that Hatake Sakumo should take over as the Fourth Hokage in the future.
The third generation Hokage, who is nearly fifty years old, has indeed come to consider candidates for the next generation of Hokage.
Hatake Sakumo is now the number one candidate!
He has enough strength, he has prestige, and he has the recommendation of the famous names of the Fire Country.
Without anything special happening, it would be difficult to convince others if someone else wants to be appointed as the Fourth Hokage over Hatake Sakumo.
Not even the three ninjas who also shined in the Second Ninja War, let alone the junior Namikaze Minato.
Therefore, Hatake Sakumo was also awarded half the sleeve of the Hokage's robe by the Third Hokage!
This is the symbol of being a Hokage candidate.
It can be said that the current Hatake Sakumo is the legitimate successor to the First Hokage!
Just waiting for the day when the Third Hokage retires or something happens, he can take over directly.
However, regarding the selection of the next generation of Hokage, the Third Hokage and the elders of Konoha all have different opinions.
However, they did not directly oppose the daimyo's proposal.
The first is because the daimyo is nominally an ally of Konoha, and the Hokage cannot directly oppose it.
The second is that Hatake Sakumo himself is indeed qualified to inherit the position of the Fourth Hokage.
Hatake Sakumo himself is not from the Hokage line. The Third Hokage and the advisory board of elders prefer to select the Fourth Hokage from the Sannin.
At the same time, the Third Hokage was also wary of the daimyo.
Earlier, the daimyo had the idea of forming his own exclusive bodyguard, the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas", and now he wants to intervene in the position of Hokage. This has to make the Third Hokage think too much.
Could it be that the Daimyo wanted to be the real ruler of the Fire Country instead of just controlling the economy?
This is absolutely unacceptable to the top management of Konoha!
Not to mention Konoha, I believe that except for the first Hokage, the shadows of other villages will never let the daimyo of various countries sit on their heads and point fingers.
This can be said to be the bottom line of Ninja Village!
The relationship between Hatake Sakumo and the Fire Country Daimyo was also known to the Third Hokage and other senior officials.
In his early years, before the current Fire Nation daimyo inherited this position, he encountered a life-threatening crisis.
It was Hatake Sakumo who happened to be passing by and saved the daimyo's life.
From then on, the daimyo and Hatake Sakumo had a good relationship.
In the view of the Third Hokage, this was the daimyo's attempt to indirectly control the entire Konoha through Hatake Sakumo.
If the Third Hokage had previously considered Hatake Sakumo to succeed the Fourth Hokage, then after the daimyo raised the matter.
The Third Hokage had already given Hatake Sakumo a cross in his heart.
In the eyes of others, this may be something unbelievable, but as the leader of Konoha, you can't help but think about it.
The twists and turns between these high-level officials are none of Aangji's business anyway.
Aangji, who had just celebrated the New Year, was looking for Namikaze Minato with Uchiha En.
Namikaze Minato also came back just after Kirigakure signed the peace agreement with Konoha.
Regardless of whether it was before or after the new year, a few people basically got together.
"Minato, why didn't you see Kushina today? Aren't you together?" Aangji asked strangely, looking at Namikaze Minato who was alone today.
You must know that these two people are tired of being together every day.
"I heard from Kushina that she went shopping with her best friend today." Minato explained with a smile.
"Eh? Did Kushina go shopping with her best friend too? My sister told me the same thing before going out this morning." Uchiha En interrupted with a surprised look.
"Uh, should I say it or not, do women like to go shopping?" Aangji couldn't help complaining.
"Well, girls all have this hobby. You'll find out when Aoji gets a girlfriend in the future." Minato said with an expression that said, "I've known it for a long time."
"It seems that you understand this deeply, Minato." Aoji continued to joke with a wicked smile.
Minato's expression stiffened when he heard Aoji's teasing.
In fact, on the first day after returning from the battlefield, Uzumaki Kushina took Minato to go shopping for a day.
That feeling is really painful and happy, everyone who has experienced it knows it.
Anyway, the large and small bags in Minato's hand almost buried him.
If it weren't for the fact that the ninja system was far superior to that of ordinary people, Namikaze Minato might not have been able to hold on.
It can be said that I am not tired of going shopping with girls even if I go to the battlefield to kill enemies.
However, the magical thing is that Uzumaki Kushina is not tired of it, but she seems to be getting more and more excited as she goes shopping.
It wasn't until Minato Namikaze was crying and couldn't take anything else that Uzumaki Kushina was willing to give up.
"After all, Kushina has reached the age of almost adulthood. It is the nature of every girl to love beauty." Minato scratched his cheek with his fingers, speechless at Aangji's reluctance.
In the ninja world, a person's adulthood is also determined at the age of 18, and Uzumaki Kushina is a 16-year-old girl.
This period can be said to be the time when you care about your appearance the most.
From Minato Namikaze's point of view, his little friend is good at everything, except that he likes to dig holes for himself sometimes.
Just as girls like to go shopping, Aangji never tires of digging holes.
If Aangji knew Minato's inner thoughts, he would definitely tell him loudly.
My joy is watching you fall into the pit.
"Yeah, yeah, I agree with Minato's thoughts." Upon hearing this, Uchiha En also crossed his arms and nodded.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Aangji looked at Uchiha En with an expression that looked like an alien.
Namikaze Minato also turned his head and looked at his other friend.
"I have a sister..." Uchiha Yan was silent for a long time and finally said this.
Aoji understood, but Minato was still confused.
Afterwards, Aangji patted Uchiha En's shoulder sympathetically.
This wave can be said to be bloodline suppression.
No matter how strong the younger brother is, he is usually a doormat in front of his older sister.
It seems that Uchiha En is often bullied by his sister at home.
"What do you mean, why don't I understand?" Minato Namikaze was even more confused as he watched his two friends playing riddles in front of him.
What is the relationship between this sister and her girlfriend?
"Minato, you have to know that before you find someone you like, it's usually the brothers in the family who take things for girls." Aoji explained to Minato earnestly.
"Oh, that's it, but how do you know so clearly, Aangji? If I remember correctly, you don't have any brothers or sisters at home, right?" After explaining one doubt, another doubt popped up in Minato's mind.
"Have I never eaten pork and seen a pig running?" Aangji rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Don’t let this kind of plot happen too frequently in previous lives, whether on TV or in reality!
"Let's go to the village for a walk. It's been a long time since I visited the wood industry in such a leisurely way." After finishing the previous topic, Namikaze Minato said.
Nodding, Aangji and Uchiha En also followed Namikaze Minato from left to right.
Since the New Year has just ended, the village is still very lively.
No matter the old people, children, ordinary people or ninjas, their faces were full of joy.
The war is over and victorious, and the New Year has just passed. This New Year can be said to be more joyful than ever.
"It's such a good day like this." Aangji sighed.
"Yes, I hope it can always be so peaceful." Namikaze Minato also agreed.
"You two guys, stop being so sentimental when shopping." Uchiha En disliked this kind of atmosphere the most.
"Okay, okay, really, Yan, you still haven't grown up." The beautiful fantasy in his mind was shattered.
Aangji glanced at Uchiha En and spoke in an adult tone.
"Hey, Aangji, what are you talking about? Do you want to experience the power of my three magatama sharingan?" Uchiha En definitely meant what he said.
For Namikaze Minato, the title "Golden Flash" came back from the Kirigakure battlefield.
Even after awakening the Three Magatama Sharingan, Uchiha En still has no confidence in defeating his opponent.
What's more, the records in the family about the Flying Thunder God's technique are too terrifying.
However, as for Hyuga Soji, he really wants to find an opportunity to compete with him.
He wants Aangji to know that he, Uchiha En, is no longer the Wu Xia Amon he once was.
This time, the title of the bottom of the team must be removed from his head!
This hat has been on his head since he graduated and formed a team, which is intolerable to the originally arrogant Uchiha En.
Uchiha En is convinced that with the Sharingan evolving into the Three Magatama, he has the strength to fight or even defeat Aoji.
He never wants to be last in the team again!
