New news or something, Sarutobi Hiruzen now has a strong "immunity".
After holding the power of Konoha Village for so many years, he has long developed the habit of keeping his emotions and anger hidden.
However, when he heard the words "Kyuubi" and "Sora" from Sarutobi Asuma, he still couldn't help but get excited.
Kyuubi is almost a taboo word in Konoha Village. On that night more than ten years ago, the raging monsters, flying tailed beast jade, soaring fire, and visible chakra energy were forever in the hearts of the villagers. pain.
That night, almost all the front-line patrol team on duty was wiped out. One-third of the ninjas who later supported them were killed in battle, and most of their bodies were left intact.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was able to carry the Nine-Tails by himself, was really determined to die, thinking that he would never come back.
As a result, contrary to expectations, the old guy was safe and the fourth generation Hokage, who had a promising future, died early in the battle before he had a chance to show his ambition.
Even the well-informed Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't dare to look at the losses calculated afterward.
Because the losses were too great, just after the Ninja World War, there were successive temptations from Kumo Ninja. Hyuga Hizashi committed suicide. This was just the more famous one among a series of changes. In the buffer zones such as Tian No Kuni and Yu No Kuni , there were countless security battles and encounters. Even in the Snow Country as far away as the North Sea, when the Konoha ninja and the Kumo ninja met, there was no conflict of tasks, but they often had to decide whether to live or die.
It was not until Konoha Village gradually calmed down that the private confrontation gradually subsided.
Seven years later, on the night of the Uchiha genocide, there was also a fire that burned down half of the village.
Fortunately, that time only the property damage was relatively heavy, and except for the Uchiha family, the personnel were relatively intact.
Also on that night, the mysterious stranger who possessed both the Sharingan and the power of the Nine-Tails reminded people of Uchiha Madara, who had brought great harm to Konoha Village, and the tragedy of the Nine-Tails attack on the village.
Suffering heavy losses, even the mastermind behind it was not clear, which really slapped the Konoha ninja in the face.
"Master Dilu, did you really say that?"
"There is a serious suspicion!"
The bearded man thought about it and changed his words.
"On the night of the Nine-Tails attack on the village, it is certain that Kazuma was near the village. Since then, his son Sora has shown obvious changes and mutations in his temperament, which must be restricted by the sealing iron wall of the Fire Temple. Only in this way can there be no harm. Many of the monks were attacked by the rampaging Sora and were more or less injured. I asked about it and found out that it was indeed the case."
"That's actually what happened."
At that time, Kazuma was already the daimyo's guardian nin, and Asuma had not yet run away from home, so he was not familiar with Chiriku, Kazuma and others, but Kazuma and Furugi Fusui were old acquaintances.
During that time, Gushan Bushui took leave due to an accident. He was not in Konoha Village, but on Yuqi Island thousands of miles away, and escaped a disaster.
Therefore, the Nine-Tails attack on the village had never been related to the Furusugi family and the daimyo.
The subsequent investigation also proved that there was indeed no sign of their involvement.
However, the name Sora has appeared several times in important information about Konoha Village in recent years.
Kosugi Fusui and Kazuma went to the Fire Temple in person, and did not hesitate to use force to get Kong back. I am afraid that at that time, they knew that the nine-tailed chakra was sealed in the little guy.
The murderer is undoubtedly Kazuma with ulterior motives. This radical leader does not hesitate to rebel against the daimyo and launch a coup, but also wants to reverse the trend of the world.
Afterwards, the Konoha Village also learned that Kazuma himself was indeed a staunch enemy of the Konoha Village and had been committed to causing trouble for the Konoha Village.
Later, Kazuma himself failed to assassinate the daimyo. After he was killed, his son Kong also got involved with some dangerous people many times, and even interacted with people from that mysterious organization.
"Sora...where did his Sharingan come from?"
"I don't know! However, the strange man who appeared in the village that night was most likely him! At that time, Kazuma had already rebelled and died, and Sora was missing..."
When he appeared again, he had Sharingan, knew how to use the power of the nine tails, and then "happened" to appear in Konoha Village at the critical moment.
"Did Uchiha Fugaku and Kazuma join forces to overthrow Konoha Village? Because 'over there' failed and they were unable to survive alone, they ended up like that? Sora's appearance did not seem to be to cause chaos to Konoha Village, not even In order to save the Uchiha people, it is more like a cooperative party, go through the motions, show a sense of presence, complete the mission and run away."
In fact, there is another guess that the father and son are unwilling to say.
That is, Kosugi Bushui himself may have known about the Nine-Tails Chakra in Kong for a long time, and even wanted to use him to do something, but it was not clear whether it succeeded or not.
"That guy is indeed...not a good guy."
"Don't be excited, Asuma. He is not a Konoha ninja to begin with. He may not do anything to embarrass the Leaf Village himself. At most, he will just sit back and watch us make trouble."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very aware of Kosugi Bosui's own mentality towards Konoha ninjas.
If you can't help yourself, don't blame the Gushan family, a big financial backer, for not giving him face.
Flies don't bite seamless eggs!
If the Leaf Village doesn't reveal its flaws, no one can hurt them.
To put it bluntly, they were still fighting among themselves and killing each other, which gave Gu Shanbu the opportunity to watch the fire from across the river.
"Don't be anxious, this... has no results! The question now is whether Sora is one of the Uchiha family's backers. The power of the Nine Tails, plus the Sharingan, is extraordinary. Also, the Uchiha family is If there are no survivors, where is Sora hiding now?"
The father and son speculated over and over again, but to no avail. Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped his son's random behavior and said categorically:
"I'll visit in person."
The chuunin exams are approaching, and this year's distinguished guests are much fewer than last year. The Daimyo family of the Fire Country has not arrived. The most distinguished person in the country is Furugi Bosui.
Although there were a lot fewer people, the presence of the largest donors and creditors was almost the same.
------------------
During this year's Chuunin Exams, the weather was going to be extra cool. In the afternoon, there was a light rain, which added a bit of coolness to the already cooler midsummer.
Ever since the sacred tree in Gushan Bushui was successfully planted, it can be clearly felt that the climate seems to be slightly abnormal.
At a public training ground in Konoha Village, Gusugi Bushui crossed his arms and watched the phosphorus in the distance advancing rapidly in the dense swamps, ducking from time to time to avoid the incoming hidden weapons.
Its whole body is wrapped in water-based chakra that has undergone sufficient changes in properties, as if wearing an aqua-blue neon dress, fluttering flexibly with its movements.
From a distance, it looks like it is wearing a close-fitting liquid combat armor, constantly changing its form to increase its attack power.
"It's interesting. The control has reached a very high level, and there is no shortage of chakra. The current Xiang Phosphorus is actually qualified to practice the sage mode, but..."
The path Gushan Bu Shui arranged for her was not the more dangerous path to immortality, but rather the use of the Uzumaki clan's natural aptitude for the immortal body to develop into a more secure "divine psychic" aspect.
Monami's power gives Karin endless possibilities. Her fighting posture is no longer limited to the traditional water escape ninja and medical ninja, but is more inclined to take advantage of the Uzumaki clan.
"After she graduates, let's build her a complete combat suit made of chakra materials."
Just as Gu Shan Bu Shui was dripping, he was about to greet the fragrant phosphorus. To end today's practice, he felt a familiar chakra approaching. A few seconds later, using the teleportation technique, he appeared next to Gu Shan Bu Shui. Sarutobi Hiruzen, holding his pipe in his mouth, smiled and looked at the arrogant and heroic figure in the distance, and couldn't help but admired:
"What a rare talent. There hasn't been such a dominant female ninja in the village for a long time."
"The ninja school in Konoha Village has a well-deserved reputation for its teachers."
"You are exaggerating. This is because Xiang Phosphorus has outstanding qualifications and is inseparable from her personal efforts."
After a few pleasantries, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked directly:
"There is one thing that I just learned about. I hope you can help me, a bad old man, to clear up my confusion."
"You're welcome, but I wonder if I can help you?"
"Song, the young governor still remembers this child, right?"
"Kazuma's son has not had a good life since he was a child. He seems to be bitter and resentful."
"Did you know that he has the Nine-Tails chakra in him?"
Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled slightly and replied very calmly:
"This is not a secret. As long as you pay more attention and combine your previous and later experiences, you can guess it."
"Then... why didn't you remind me..."
"Reminder of what?"
Gu Shan Bu Shui spread his hands,
"Sora is Kazuma's child, not mine. As for why he has Nine-Tails Chakra, it's not my fault anyway. Since no one asks me, I won't be too troublesome..."
"It's not that you don't want to tell me, but that no one cares?"
"How can there be so many people in the world who care about the life and death of little people! That child Sora was already very old when I found out about him. He was still a very innocent boy at that time. Even though places like the Fire Temple are self-proclaimed It is still unknown how much goodwill a monk who is compassionate has in his heart. Although Master Dilu is a very famous master, compared to his ability to reason, it is obvious that his real skills are what he relies on. .”
"Are you... dissatisfied with the Temple of Fire?"
"It's not dissatisfaction, just a bit disdainful. What they do is actually not fundamentally different from us nobles and you ninjas, but they put on a good-looking coat and think it's great and they can stand at the highest point of morality. It’s really funny to point fingers at us.”
Anyway, I still have some opinions.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi learned about Kosugi Bushui's thoughts, he didn't make any further comments. Instead, he pretended to be relaxed and asked:
"That child has disappeared since the coup. Do you know what happened to him?"
Gu Shan Bu Shui replied:
"In the ninja world... there are actually very few secrets that can be completely hidden from our Fusagi family. Kazuma's child has decent qualifications, but the Kyuubi still puts too much pressure on him, so that he has an irreversible effect. The permanent mutation is still very different from children like Uzumaki Naruto who are born with fairy bodies."
After a pause, Gushan Bushui continued:
"I know what you want to ask! The Sharingan on Kong's body has something to do with the Uchiha family, but... it's not their handiwork. In fact, this clan whose blood is cursed, I'm afraid I don't even know how many of them there are. The Sharingan is lost."
"Then...does the Young Master know what remains?"
"Sandaime..."
Gushan Bushui smiled pretending to be profound, but instead of answering directly, he asked,
"Why do you think the Uchiha family has ended up like this?"
"I wonder what the young governor has to say?"
"Arrogant! They are so weak but don't know it. Even when they are about to die, they don't understand why they died. Although I was not in Konoha Village that night when the Nine-Tails attacked the village, judging from the feedback from Konoha Village , it was not done by the Uchiha family, at least, not by the Uchiha in Konoha Village. Later, I dealt with Uchiha Fugaku several times. Judging from his reaction, I am afraid they have guessed what it is. Whoever is driving a wedge between the family and the village understands the crux of the matter, but there is no turning back."
"Isn't he an Uchiha from the village? Could it be..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed,
"Could it be that the Blood Succession Limit Sharingan has been lost?"
"You must also know..."
Gu Shan Bu Shui spread his hands,
"The Kaguya clan and the Minazuki clan in the Kingdom of Water have been effectively extinct. The last original blood successors of the Corpse Vein and Ice Release are in my hands. The Hyuga clan created a curse seal to prevent the Byakugan from leaking out. ·Things like caged birds, the Sharingan is so powerful, why doesn’t anyone covet it?”
Did Hiruzen Sarutobi know that Shimura Danzo had stolen the Uchiha family's bloodline?
Even Mu Dun was involved, Senju Hashirama's grave was dug, and many first-generation cells full of vitality were stolen from the corpse.
After doing such a thing, would you let the Uchiha family's Sharingan go?
This is almost impossible!
The emergence of the successor of Mudun, codenamed "A", has actually exposed how low the morality of Danzo Shimura is.
Therefore, the Third Hokage should know that it is a high probability that the "Root" organization is studying the Sharingan in private.
However, it would be too hard to accept that the Sharingan was lost outside the village.
"Major Governor...do you have any evidence?"
"evidence?"
Gu Shan Bu Shui shrugged,
"Even the Byakugan, which is so closely guarded, was obtained by the Mist Ninja. As for the Sharingan, you only need to look at the Uchiha tribesmen who have disappeared in the history of Konoha Village. They are the kind that are not seen alive or dead. There are How much, you can get a little idea."
With the current level of prosperity of ninjutsu, the possibility of no traces of the war dead is almost non-existent.
