Clouds gathered in the sky and it was raining lightly.
Konoha Cemetery.
The ninjas, led by the fourth generation Hokage Namikaze Minato, gathered here to hold a memorial service for all the ninjas, including the third generation, who died in the Konoha collapse plan.
Everyone was wearing a black suit, with their heads lowered solemnly, silently mourning for the deceased.
Some ninjas who had lost their family members could not help crying, and a sad and depressing atmosphere enveloped the space.
The fourth generation's awakening was originally a great thing, but Sunagakure Village betrayed its faith. The fourth generation Kazekage teamed up with Orochimaru of the Sound Ninja Village to launch an attack on Konoha.
White Fang's son, Kakashi, who has the titles of 'Konoha Technician' and 'Copy Ninja', actually killed the Third Hokage and betrayed Konoha.
Coupled with the fact that the ninjas of the Hyuga clan broke away from Konoha, the village could be said to have suffered a devastating blow in this Konoha collapse plan.
Although Konoha reacted immediately and launched an effective counterattack, it still lost many chuunin and jounin. On the contrary, genin, women, and children were better protected.
In the first three ninja wars, although Konoha fought very anxiously, the mainland has never suffered such heavy losses.
This powerful ninja village, which has been the overlord of the ninja world for more than 40 years since its establishment sixty years ago, does not know how long it will take to recover after this disaster.
Namikaze Minato cannot support Konoha by himself.
"Hiruzhan, you are so stupid, but don't worry, I will lead Konoha to become strong again!" Danzo was standing in the corner of the first row, secretly determined in his heart.
Because he "actively fought" when the village faced an invasion from foreign enemies, no one mentioned his life imprisonment for the time being.
However, there is still a long way to go to regain its original power.
"Grandpa is a big liar! He promised that no one could kill you!"
The loudest cry at the memorial service was undoubtedly the ninja of the Sarutobi Hi family. At this time, the third generation's grandson Sarutobi Konohamaru was crying in tears.
The third generation's eldest son Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the youngest son Sarutobi Asuma also looked sad.
For most of the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan, they not only lost the Hokage of the village, but more importantly, they lost the clan leader, the pillar of their clan.
Without the third generation, the future development of the Sarutobi clan will definitely be greatly restricted. Although they are all ninjas of Konoha, if the Sarutobi clan wants to become a wealthy family in Konoha, they must have someone to protect them.
...
Hokage Building, high-rise conference room.
As soon as the memorial service ended, Namikaze Minato hosted a high-level meeting.
The two Hokage advisors, Koharu and Mito Katobu, sat on the left and right of Minato Namikaze respectively.
Immediately after Mito Kadoen took the seat, Naoki was the heir to the original Senju clan, the grandson of the first generation, and the younger brother of Tsunade. He is also one of the strongest men in Konoha now. He has also awakened the secret technique of wood escape. If not Namikaze Minato wakes up, and after the death of the third generation, the position of the fifth Hokage will most likely fall to him.
Opposite the rope tree, Koharu's seat was still vacant, and Danzo was seen sitting on the empty seat very naturally.
Namikaze Minato frowned slightly when he saw this, but didn't say much.
Seeing this situation, Fugaku didn't say anything even though he was unhappy. He believed that Minato was different from the third generation.
Soon, both sides of the ten-meter-long conference table were filled with senior officials from Konoha, and more jounin were seated on the left side of the rope tree.
Among them are the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans who were the original direct descendants of the Hokage clan. These three major ninja clans have always supported whoever becomes the Hokage.
Of course, the three tribes are not without principles.
"This meeting is mainly to discuss matters related to the reconstruction of Konoha. This time the village has suffered huge damage and must be rebuilt as soon as possible. At the same time, we must be careful that other villages and forces take advantage of the situation and cause greater harm to Konoha. harm."
Namikaze Minato said solemnly, and then looked at Nara Shikaku.
"Shikaku, come and inform everyone of the statistics of the dead list and the amount of property lost."
"Yes, Yondaime-sama." Nara Shikaku nodded respectfully, stood up and said: "This time, due to the sudden attack on Sunagakure Village and Oto Ninja Village, 41 Jonin, 182 Chunin, and 55 ordinary people were killed in the village. More than 500 people were seriously injured and slightly injured.
The damage to buildings and property exceeded one billion ryo, and 2 officials from the Land of Earth and the Land of Thunder who came to watch the battle were killed and 13 were injured. Now both Iwagakure and Kumogakure have condemned Konoha.
In addition, before the end of the war, all members of the Hyuga clan separated from Konoha, a total of 1,179 people. "
Nara Shikaku's voice was a little heavy, especially when he read the last number, his voice was a little trembling.
All the senior executives present at the meeting took a breath of cold air.
The members of the Hyuga branch account for more than 90% of the total number of the Hyuga clan. All the members of the branch have left, and there are only less than a hundred clan members left. It can almost be said that the Hyuga clan is finished.
Although the Hyuga clan can open the Byakugan as long as they train a similar amount of chakra, and the eye-opening rate is much higher than that of the Uchiha clan, but not everyone has chakra talent.
You must have at least a chakra level close to that of a chunin in order to have enough chakra to activate the Byakugan.
Therefore, although there are more than a hundred members of the clan, these people are just lucky enough to be born in the clan. However, a considerable number of them are not bound by the Caged Bird Curse Seal, but they do not even have the chakra to activate the Byakugan. Not to mention the purity of the Byakugan, so even if their eyes are taken away, it will have no effect.
Only the activated Byakugan is useful if it is transplanted. This is why other people who covet the Byakugan must seize the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. It is useless if the eyes of ordinary clan members are taken away.
At least one tenth of the members of the Hyuga branch who left Konoha are ninjas who have activated the Byakugan. Although the others have not activated the Byakugan chakra, with such a large population base, there will be another generation in less than ten years. .
For a powerful ninja clan, population is crucial. In order to ensure the purity of blood, intermarriage within the clan is necessary, but no matter what, marriage between direct blood relatives is not allowed.
A question now facing the Hyuga clan is, what to do with the next generation?
At that time, I am afraid that I will have to intermarry with foreign races. Not to mention the outflow of blood, the purity of the blood will definitely decrease. In a few decades, the Konoha Hyuga clan lineage will probably disappear.
"Uzushio Ninja Village actually took advantage of the situation to rob! It's as outrageous as the treacherous Sunagakure Village!"
The jounin of the Sarutobi clan said angrily.
"They actually took away the Hyuga clan while we were at war with Sand Hidden Village and Sound Ninja Village! Moreover, when the village was in crisis, they, as allies, stood by and watched. It's really abominable!"
Other ninjas echoed this.
"The alliance between Konoha and the Uzushio Ninja Village is in name only. This was true when Hiruzen was still alive. Even Kakashi's betrayal, the Uzushio Ninja Village cannot avoid suspicion." Danzo on the side said calmly. He said: "The problem now is to coordinate all forces to restore Konoha's strength as soon as possible and be careful to guard against other forces.
The Sunagakure Village colluded with the Sound Ninja Village to launch an attack on Konoha this time, so the first thing we have to sanction is the Country of Wind and the Country of Tian, and we will make them pay huge compensation to supplement the village's funds for distant transfer.
It is not appropriate to break out into a conflict with the Uzumaki Ninja Village for the time being! "
With that said, Danzo looked at Namikaze Minato: "Yondaime, what do you think?"
"Yes." Namikaze Minato nodded, and there was indeed nothing wrong with what Danzo said.
After all, the Hinata family left with Bai Yu in front of him at that time. It wasn't that he didn't want to retain or stop him, but it was the situation at that time. If Konoha and Bai Yu conflict again, the conflict may completely intensify, so there is only one The choice is to let Hinata separate and leave Konoha.
"Chiyo and Ebizo, the brother and sister of Sunagakure Village, have come out to take charge of the overall situation. They sent a letter, saying that they had no knowledge of the actions of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa. This is the result of Rasa's insistence on going her own way, so Sunagakure is willing to tell Konoha paid compensation to express its apology. As for Tian Country, a large amount of food was also sent."
Mito Monen added, scattering the copy of the letter sent from Sunagakure Village.
"This amount is not enough!" Danzo said solemnly: "These are not even enough to pay the pension for the fallen ninjas. We cannot let Sunagakure Village go so easily!"
"Danzo-sama makes sense!"
"We can't let Sunagakure Village go so lightly."
"And Tian Zhiguo, we have to make them pay the price!"
As soon as Danzo finished speaking, ninjas echoed, most of them being ninjas from the original root line.
“This matter is over now, the daimyo has sent a letter, asking us to shake hands and make peace with Sunagakure Village.
The top priority is the reconstruction of Konoha. Don't forget that Orochimaru is still alive. This time Dai desperately injured Orochimaru, but he could no longer use the second Eight Gate Armor Formation.
At present, no one in the village, including me, can stop Orochimaru in a head-on battle, and Orochimaru also controlled the first Hokage through the art of reincarnation.
When Orochimaru recovers his strength, if he attacks Konoha again, the result will be unknown. "
Namikaze Minato said with a solemn expression.
As soon as he said these words, the place suddenly fell into silence.
Indeed, as the Fourth Generation said, if there is no way to deal with Orochimaru, everything else seems not so important.
At this time, Danzo said: "Orochimaru can control the first generation through the reincarnation of the dirty earth, and so can we!"
"yes!"
"This is a forbidden technique developed by the Second Generation. We can also use this forbidden technique to deal with Orochimaru!"
Faced with everyone's support, Fugaku finally couldn't help it anymore and said in a deep voice: "Duanzo, don't forget that it was you who used the art of reincarnation in the dirty soil to summon the Golden Horn and the Silver Horn. Because the two of them lost control, the fourth generation was seriously injured and comatose. It’s been twelve years, do you want to do it again?”
"That was just an accident!" Danzo's face darkened.
"What about your sneak attack on Shisui and Issei, which caused our Uchiha clan to split?!" Fugaku changed the subject and became more direct.
"It's you, the Uchiha clan, who have been harboring evil intentions for a long time!" Danzo refused to give in, because if he gave in at this time, he would have no way out.
"okay."
Namikaze Minato spoke.
Fugaku and Danzo both stopped arguing.
"Danzo-sama, if I guess correctly, you should have been sentenced to life imprisonment, and now you should be on death row in ANBU." Namikaze Minato changed the topic and suddenly asked.
"You!" Danzo looked shocked. Unexpectedly, Namikaze Minato actually brought up something that he had already tacitly understood.
"Yondaime, after all, Danzo came to help when the village was in crisis. It would be a bit unkind to continue to send him back to death row now. Moreover, Hiruzen also..." Koharu, who was sleeping next to him, Missing the old relationship, he helped Danzo speak up and brought up the third generation.
"Indeed." Namikaze Minato did not refute, but nodded in a dignified manner.
Just when Danzo thought he would have a chance to make a comeback, Namikaze Minato continued: "In that case, let Danzo go back home and think about his mistakes behind closed doors. He is not going to participate in any high-level decisions in Konoha anymore!"
"this.."
"The Fourth Generation, Lord Danzo, after all, he also wants to do something for Konoha..."
"In addition!" Namikaze Minato raised his hand to stop the ninja who was interceding for Danzo, and continued: "This time the ANBU's response to the sudden incident was very inadequate, so I decided to completely disband the current ANBU and re-select capable talents. Enter the ANBU.”
"What!?"
"Disband ANBU?"
"Re-selection?!"
Half of the ninjas in the field were shocked.
Danzo looked even more unbelievable. Namikaze Minato was preparing to clear out all the ninjas from other factions.
The root ninjas in ANBU are all the trump cards for Danzo to make a comeback. Now that ANBU is disbanded and reorganized, this is a direct blow to him.
Namikaze Minato ignored everyone's opinions and continued: "Fugaku, you will be solely responsible for this matter!"
Fugaku's eyes widened and he quickly responded: "Yes!"
"Also, the importance of the Konoha Police Force in maintaining Konoha's security is self-evident. When I proposed to strengthen the powers of the Police Force, the Third Generation did not agree, but this time it must be implemented.
I decided to let other ethnic groups join the police force and form a rapid response force to respond to emergencies in the village at any time.
Rope Tree, Itachi, I hope you can help me. "
Namikaze Minato turned to look at Nawaki and Itachi.
"yes!"
"yes."
Namikaze Minato nodded and continued: "Finally, from today on, Konoha Village must consolidate its alliance with Uzumaki Ninja Village. Now is the most critical moment in Konoha's 60 years since its establishment. I hope that everyone Everyone can put the safety and development of the village first!"
"yes!"
Faced with Namikaze Minato's tough attitude, everyone could only accept the order.
It seems that this time, the fourth generation is ready to take all the power in the village into his hands.
...
Half a year passed quietly.
The impact of the Konoha Collapse Plan on Konoha is far from being eliminated.
In addition to the loss of ninjas and property, Konoha's reputation has also plummeted in the ninja world. Even if the golden flash wakes up and takes charge of the overall situation again, it may take many years for Konoha to return to its heyday.
Different from Konoha, in Uzushio Ninja Village, due to the participation of more than a thousand Hyuga branch members, Orochimaru, a top scientific research talent, and Yakushi Kabuto, a powerful assistant, Bai Yu's experimental progress has been greatly improved. improvement.
At this time, the central area of the underground laboratory.
Kushina was lying in the giant nutrition warehouse wearing close-fitting underwear, while Bai Yu was watching over her.
It wasn't until Kushina had absorbed all the nutrient solution and special energy particle fluctuations emitted from her body that Bai Yu opened the nutrient chamber.
Kushina slowly opened her eyes, and her originally dark eyes had turned into pure white, with a little bit of pure azure in the pure white.
"Kushina, how are you feeling?" Bai Yu helped Kushina up and asked about the situation. In his perception, Kushina's chakra increased by nearly half on the original basis.
You must know that Kushina was originally a type with a very large amount of chakra, but it is extremely exaggerated to increase it to this level.
"Very powerful pupil power, but it keeps growing!" Kushina said, covering her eyes, feeling a bulging discomfort from her eyeballs.
"This should be the fetal movement of the reincarnated eye."
Bai Yu speculated.
With top scientific research talents and a large number of samples, Bai Yu actually succeeded in helping Kushina open the reincarnation eye by extracting the pure Otsutsuki chakra from Orochimaru's body, and then combining it with the power of a large amount of Byakugan.
