When Orochimaru and Paz, the two masterminds who planned the [Konoha Collapse Plan], died, the so-called Konoha Collapse Plan also came to an end.
Even if Paz used his container concept to bring 500 ninjas from enemy villages to invade Konoha Village, and sent another 200 ninjas from enemy villages and a large number of giant snakes summoned by psychics to invade from the border of Konoha Village, this one would be a close call. The disaster that destroyed Konoha Village was still ended by Konoha's ninjas.
Inside Konoha Village, there are collapsed houses and thick smoke everywhere, and corpses can be seen everywhere.
Jiraiya, who was covered in injuries, was leaning against a chimney on a roof, gasping for air. Even if he faced hundreds of elite ninjas and a large number of psychic snakes, he would still find it difficult, not to mention that the battlefield was in a wooded area. Due to the internal conflicts in Leaf Village, Jiraiya was unable to fully display his full abilities. He had just sent the psychic beast Gamabunta, who was also seriously injured, back to Mt. Myoboku. Fukasaku Sage and Shima Sage also returned to Mt. Myoboku because the time for channeling had come.
Fortunately, most of the ninjas who invaded Konoha Village were killed or captured.
Jiraiya raised his head and looked at the tall and burly giant on the rooftop in the distance.
Kaidou carried the mace, ignoring the shurikens and kunai that flew towards him, and swept the mace with his backhand, blasting the upper body of the ninja from Sunagakure closest to him into a blood mist. Those shurikens that landed on the surface of Kaidou's skin could only make a tinkling sound of metal, and then fell to the ground without even leaving a trace on Kaidou's skin.
Is that a strong body similar to that of the Third Raikage?
There are many ninjutsus known as the 'strongest defense' in the ninja world, but the body of the Third Raikage is definitely the strongest one. Normally, Jiraiya would definitely be wary of this person who appeared out of nowhere and wanted to join Konoha.
But now... Looking at the increasing number of mutilated corpses of enemy village ninjas under Kaidou's feet, Jiraiya sighed.
Anyway, it’s the person brought back by that kid from Su Zhan, so let’s leave it to him to worry about. As for himself, he has no right to make irresponsible remarks on Kaidou, who turned the tide and saved the village and its villagers.
And the old man, Jiraiya couldn't help but frowned when he thought of the Sandaime Hokage's injuries.
According to the old man, he currently relies on a special prop given to him by Su Zhan to stay alive, but no one knows how long it will last. The old man's serious injury could no longer be dealt with by ordinary medical ninjas. Tsunade had to be found.
Soon, all the invading ninjas were cleared away. Either killed or captured, the ninjas from the enemy village who survived were also dejected, because they had learned through the Konoha ninjas that their leaders Orochimaru and Paz had been killed by Uchiha Speed Slash, and there was no point in resisting any longer. .
This time, Konoha Village suffered heavy losses. Not to mention the large number of casualties among the middle and lower-class ninjas, civilians died in large numbers even if they were protected by ninjas, and countless houses and buildings were destroyed.
Reconstruction work began immediately under the leadership of the Konoha Elders Council.
Sand Hidden Village and Oto Ninja Village were not much better. A large number of elite ninjas who were the backbone of the village were killed in battle. Because of the invasion, they completely lost their reputation and moral high ground, and the senior officials and even the leader died. What awaits these two villages will be a plummeting number of missions, conflicts within the villages, and the horrific revenge of Konoha Village.
The last item may be resolved through peace talks if the Sandaime Hokage continues to be in charge of Konoha Village. But now that the Sandaime Hokage is seriously injured and is no longer able to continue to serve as Hokage, a suitable Hokage candidate must be selected immediately.
After two days of discussion by the Council of Elders, there are only a few qualified candidates - Jiraiya, Tsunade Hime, Uchiha Suzan, and Shimura Danzo.
Jiraiya and Tsunade-hime are direct descendants of the First Hokage. Among them, Jiraiya is a disciple of the Third Hokage and the master of the Fourth Hokage. He is one of the heroes who stopped the Konoha collapse plan and is the priority target of the Presbyterian Council to place candidates.
Tsunade Hime is also a disciple of the Sandaime Hokage. At the same time, she is also the biological granddaughter of the first Hokage and the strongest medical ninja in the world. It is reasonable for her to be selected.
Shimura Danzo has always been involved in the decision-making of various major issues in Konoha as the 'Hokage Assistant'. He is experienced and rich, but he is old.
Uchiha Suzan once lost when he competed with Namikaze Minato for the fourth Hokage, and has since stayed away from the power circle of Konoha's top leaders. Originally, the Council of Elders did not intend to include Uchiha Speedy Slayer as a candidate, but he was unable to withstand him because of his outstanding achievements. Fight the three tailed beasts with one person, kill Paz, the actual leader of Sunagakure Village this time, and Orochimaru, the rebel ninja of Konoha, and save the third generation Hokage. It can be said that he single-handedly reversed the situation of Konoha's collapse plan, so he had to be included as a candidate.
As for the outsider named Kaidou, because he has the endorsement of the great hero Uchiha Hayazanza, and the special props that hanged the third generation Hokage's life are said to be from his hands, plus he turned the tide and defeated the hostile ninjas in the village, the Konoha Village Elders Council will In this precarious and special period when talents are urgently needed, Kaidou's request to join Konoha Village was granted.
In the Uchiha clan, Sasuke, with his arms wrapped in bandages, was cleaning the gravel on the street with a broom.
Since the Uchiha clan was uninhabited, it suffered minimal damage compared to other parts of the village. Even so, several buildings were attacked by detonating talisman kunai, leaving rubble and dust everywhere.
Xianglin leaned on the broom and sighed: "The village has suffered such a big loss, and the atmosphere has become weird."
"With so many ninjas lost, I'm afraid a few of us genin will also go on missions. We must stabilize the reputation of the village now, otherwise the missions will become fewer and fewer, and the village will soon fall."
Sasuke imitated what Suzan had said and analyzed: "Furthermore, we have such a big feud with Sunagakure Village, and the Third Hokage was seriously injured and abdicated. I'm afraid the village will not let it go... Crane tail! Come over here and help with the work!"
Naruto fetched a bucket of water and was squatting on a bench by the roadside, vigorously wiping a strange black metal belt with a rag. When he heard Sasuke's words, he just waved his hand impatiently: "Put them all there and wait for me to wipe them." After finishing the belt, use the multiple shadow clone technique to finish it all!"
Sasuke was also extremely jealous when he saw the belt. Yesterday, I went specifically to find Kuzan, and the topic was confusing. In short, I just wanted a set of armor similar to Naruto's. No way, the cool black appearance of the Berserker Armor is fatal to the appeal of a middle school boy like Sasuke.
As a result, Kuzan told Sasuke that he had borrowed this set of transformation armor from Kaidou, who had just joined the village. He only had one set and he would take it away and return it to Kaidou after a while. After all, it was only lent to Naruto to use in his life. Used for self-protection during the Chunin Exam.
Xiang Rin's attitude towards Naruto was nothing short of conniving: "It doesn't matter, I did Naruto's job for him. Speaking of which, where did Lord Suzan go? He disappeared early in the morning."
"I don't know, but looking at his serious expression when he left in the morning, I'm afraid it was a big deal." Sasuke shook his head.

At the same time, the meeting tower in the palace of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
There is a long table in the spacious and bright hall, with the Fire Country daimyo sitting at the head, and on both sides are the Fire Country high-level officials and Konoha high-level officials.
The topics to be discussed today are not only Konoha Village’s support for the reconstruction work and diplomatic attitude towards other countries, but also the most important thing——
Choose the fifth Hokage!
