"Okay." After hearing these words, Fugaku finally let go of the big stone in his heart.
Now it seems that Yang Shu is still on the side of the Uchiha clan.
...
The death of the Third Hokage is a big deal.
It was as if the top leader of a large country had died.
Although this person in charge has been demoted to a guard, his status as the top person in charge has not changed.
Especially this person also represents force.
It means that Konoha has lost its powerful force.
This matter is a good opportunity for Iwagakure, who wants to have a home outside the mountains, and Kumogakure, who covets Konoha's rich resources.
But the appearance of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, made them a little regretful.
At this time, they heard information about a twelve-year-old boy from the spy.
"The enemy Orochimaru left without any injuries?"
"Kill an elite Jonin level person in one blow?"
"One blow seriously injured Ichibi Shukaku???"
"These all come from the fact that he can infinitely activate a forbidden life technique - Eight Gates of Escape?!"
"Is this really something a twelve-year-old boy can do?"
"No! I absolutely can't bear it this time!"
"If we let this boy grow up, what will happen to us Iwagakure (Kumogakure) in the ninja world!"
"We must kill him now!!"
Suddenly, they had only one purpose now, which was to cut off the future of Konoha!
At least, this young man who can unlock unlimited forbidden arts must die!
...
A few days had passed since the death of the Third Hokage.
Originally, the death of the Hokage was a big deal, but the reputation of the third generation of Hokages was really bad, and not many people wanted to attend his funeral.
Even if Nara Shikaku wanted to hide it and summoned many jounin to worship, the scale was extremely large, but the villagers still thought what they thought.
...
Driving range.
In the very peaceful forest, there were sharp sounds of "bang" and "bang", like the sound of bullets falling into the trees.
Hokage agent Nara Shikaku appeared here wearing black mourning clothes.
His eyes seemed to see through everything. Facing the deserted forest, he said, "Why don't you participate?"
"Why do you want to participate?" A masculine young man walked out of the forest and asked calmly.
"This is the Hokage's funeral. I know you don't want to keep pretending, but at least give it some face."
"Do you know why I want to become stronger?"
"Protect your important things?"
"That's one thing, and the other thing is that I don't have to wrong myself anymore."
"So you are now strong enough that you don't have to wrong yourself anymore?"
"That's about it. You go, Shikaku, I'm not interested in attending that disgusting guy's funeral."
"Actually, I don't want to participate either." Lujiu sighed, simply sat down on the spot, took out the bottle of wine from his arms, and drank.
"So you ran out under the guise of looking for me?"
"That's part of the reason." Shikaku took a sip of wine, sighed, and said, "You know, I always think that the Third Hokage is a great Hokage who can sacrifice himself for the village.
Even if those scandals were exposed, I always thought he was a good Hokage, a good Hokage who would sacrifice his life for the village.
However, after hearing what you said that day, I couldn't refute it.
He really seemed to be acting all the time, even deceiving himself.
I have been suffering from insomnia these days.
I ask myself this every moment.
Why was he not in a hurry to find the Fifth Hokage? Why did he not delegate power after the Fourth Hokage took office? Why was he still alive when the Fourth Hokage died in battle? Why did he let Orochimaru go? Why did he forgive his assassin? Danzo, why do the Sarutobi clan have thousands of ninjas...
Lots and lots of questions.
But whatever I thought, it all pointed to an answer. "
Shikaku raised his head and looked at Uchiha Haruki.
Uchiha Haruki thought back to Sarutobi Hiruzen and said disdainfully: "Because he is a selfish guy. Others can't understand him. That's because he acted in such a way that he even deceived himself and couldn't even understand him." He understands himself, let alone us, and this is the most disgusting thing about him.”
"Yes." Shikaku sighed as if he was sighing deep into the earth, looking at the sky with hazy eyes.
I'm afraid he doesn't know what he is thinking.
Uchiha Yangshu interrupted him unreasonably and said: "You didn't come here to say these things to me, right?"
"No, this is also part of the reason. After all, I can only say these words to you." Lu Jiu said with a bitter smile.
If these words were heard by others, I don’t know how much of a commotion it would cause.
"It seems that there are other reasons?" Uchiha Yangshu said.
"Well, the biggest reason is that Iwagakure and Kumogakure are targeting you, Yang Shu."
"Are you targeting me?!" Uchiha Yangshu pondered.
Shikaku stopped drinking.
The indulgence just now was enough for him, now comes the business.
A few seconds later, Uchiha Yangshu raised his head and said with a smile: "It seems that my deterrence is not strong enough."
"Your thoughts are very dangerous."
"What if you don't? Just hand me over like that disgusting guy?"
"..." Shikaku was speechless.
This is indeed something that the Third Hokage can do.
After all, when the leader of the Kumogakure envoys had evil intentions against Byakugan, he didn't hold any accountability in order to successfully sign a peace contract!
There was not even the slightest compensation to the Hyuga clan.
If this really causes the leader of the Kumogakure messengers to enter the Hyuga clan and commit suicide, I am afraid that the Third Hokage will ask them to compensate Kumogakure.
Thinking of this, Shikaku's feelings towards Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage who ordered Sarutobi Hiruzen to become the Third Hokage, also became bad.
How blind do you have to be to choose someone like this to be Hokage?
Lu Jiu regained his composure and said: "Anyway, if nothing else happens, the war is about to begin. I want to know what you can do?"
"What if not?"
"If not, I hope you will go to the border, use your Ankylosaurus tail flick, and try your best to create a ravine there as a shock."
"Well, this method is good, then I won't go to fight with Raikage."
"..." Shikaku complained speechlessly, "Can you beat the Fourth Raikage?"
"Fifty-five, as long as someone can bring me back, it will definitely be enough as a deterrent."
"Well, this method is not bad. Let's use it as the second method. If it doesn't shock you, I'll trouble you."
"The problems I caused don't bother me."
Shikaku nodded slightly in response.
He stood up and planned to leave, but he saw small holes in the tree.
"What are you doing?"
"New moves, those moves will be useless to me after just one use."
"So you can use these moves again and again?"
"Ah... um..." Uchiha Yangshu looked at his fingers and toes, and said vaguely, "Can it be used twenty times...?"
Are you asking me about your moves?
Shikaku waved his hand wordlessly and left, saying, "Come to the Hokage's office in the afternoon, the ferocious beast Yang Shu."
"A ferocious beast?"
"The nickname they gave you." Shikaku's voice became quieter and quieter as he walked away.
Uchiha Yangshu showed a smile.
He quite likes this nickname.
